Singular strictly increasing functions and a problem on partitions of closed intervals

We establish that the problem of constructing a strictly increasing singular function is equivalent to the problem of constructing subsets and of a closed interval [a; b] ? ? such that (1) ∩ = ø; (2) ∪ = [a; b]; (3) the Lebesgue measures of the intersections of and with an arbitrary interval J ? [a; b] are positive.     

On the geometry of normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifolds

Normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic structures (or -structures) are considered. A full set of structure equations is obtained, and the components of the Riemannian curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor are calculated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the constancy of the curvature of such manifolds are found. In particular, it is shown that a normal -manifold which is a spatial form has nonpositive curvature. The constancy of ΦHS-curvature is studied. Expressions for the components of the Weyl tensor on the space of the associated G-structure are obtained. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a normal -manifold to coincide with the conformal plane are found. Finally, locally symmetric normal -manifolds are considered.     

Peierls substitution and the Maslov operator method

We consider a periodic Schrödinger operator in a constant magnetic field with vector potential A(x). A version of adiabatic approximation for quantum mechanical equations with rapidly varying electric potentials and weak magnetic fields is the Peierls substitution which, in appropriate dimensionless variables, permits writing the pseudodifferential equation for the new auxiliary function: , where is the corresponding energy level of some auxiliary Schrödinger operator, assumed to be nondegenerate, and µ is a small parameter. In the present paper, we use V. P. Maslov’s operator method to show that, in the case of a constant magnetic field, such a reduction in any perturbation order leads to the equation with the operator represented as a function depending only on the operators of kinetic momenta $ \hat P_j = - i\mu \partial _{x_j } + A_j \left( x \right) $ .     

Notes on derivations on algebras of measurable operators

Derivations on algebras of (unbounded) operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra ? are considered. Let be one of the algebras of measurable operators, of locally measurable operators, and of τ-measurable operators. The von Neumann algebras ? of type I for which any derivation on is inner are completely described in terms of properties of central projections. It is also shown that any derivation on the algebra LS(?) of all locally measurable operators affiliated with a properly infinite von Neumann algebra ? vanishes on the center LS(?).     

Special framed Morse functions on surfaces

Let M be a smooth closed orientable surface. Let F be the space of Morse functions on M and $\mathbb{F}^1$ be the space of framed Morse functions both endowed with the C ^??-topology. The space $\mathbb{F}^0$ of special framed Morse functions is defined. We prove that the inclusion mapping is a homotopy equivalence. In the case when at least x(M) + 1 critical points of each function of F are marked, the homotopy equivalences and are proved, where is the complex of framed Morse functions, is the universal moduli space of framed Morse functions, is the group of self-diffeomorphisms of M homotopic to the identity.     

Application of Maslov’s formula to finding an asymptotic solution to an elastic deformation problem

We propose a scheme of bifurcation analysis of equilibrium configurations of a weakly inhomogeneous elastic beam on an elastic base under the assumption of two-mode degeneracy; this scheme generalizes the Darinskii-Sapronov scheme developed earlier for the case of a homogeneous beam. The consideration of an inhomogeneous beam requires replacing the condition that the pair of eigenvectors of the operator from the linear part of the equation (at zero) is constant by the condition of the existence of a pair of vectors smoothly depending on the parameters whose linear hull is invariant with respect to . It is shown that such a pair is sufficient for the construction of the principal part of the key function and for analyzing the branching of the equilibrium configurations of the beam. The construction of the required pair of vectors is based on a formula for the orthogonal projection onto the root subspace of (from the theory of perturbations of self-adjoint operators in the sense of Maslov). The effect of the type of inhomogeneity of the beam on the formof its deflection is studied.     

The Agnihotri—Woodward—Belkale polytope and Klyachko cones

The Agnihotri—Woodward—Belkale polytope Δ (resp., the Klyachko cone ) is the set of solutions of the multiplicative (resp., additive) Horn problem, i.e., the set of triples of spectra of special unitary (resp. traceless Hermitian) n × n matrices satisfying AB = C (resp. A + B = C). The set is the tangent cone of Δ at the origin. The group G = ? _n ⊕ ? _n acts naturally on Δ. In this note, we report on a computer calculation showing that Δ coincides with the intersection of , g ∈ G, for n ≤ 14 but does not coincide with it for n = 15. Our motivation was an attempt to understand how to solve the multiplicative Horn problem in practice for given conjugacy classes in SU(n).     

Indefinite Sturm-Liouville problem for some classes of self-similar singular weights

We continue studying the asymptotics of the spectrum for the boundary value problem ?y″-λρy = 0, y(0) = y(1) = 0, where ρ is a function in the space with a self-similar primitive. The cases of nonarithmetic and degenerate arithmetic self-similarity of such a primitive are considered.     

Zur Verteilung der Quadrate ganzer Zahlen in rationalen Quaternionenalgebren

For γ ∈ ?letQ 〈γ〉 = ?[i]+?[i]j. where j. is a hypercomplex number withj2 = γ, and define addition and multiplication formally with respect to $zj = j\overline z $ for all z ∈ ?[i], so thatQ〈γ〉 becomes a quaternion algebra over the rationals. Further fix γ s.t.Q 〈γ 〉 is a division algebra and define for real X ≥ 1 where |Re(α)|, |Im(α)|, |Re(β)|, |Im(ö)|≤ X and Generalizing former results concerning Hamilton’s quaternions (i.e. the case γ =- 1) we show that, as X → ∞, when γ < 0, when γ > 0, when γ < 0, wheny γ 0. Thereby δ(t) is any upper bound of the error term in Dirichlet’s divisor problem, e.g. δ(t) =t0.315, C_γ, D_γ > 0 are numerical constants, and c, d are given by c := π(1 + log 2 - 2η) and d := π2(1 + 4 log 4 - 4π)/8, where π = 0.577 … is Euler’s constant.     

Zeta functions in triangulated categories

We prove the 2-out-of-3 property for the rationality of the motivic zeta function in distinguished triangles in Voevodsky’s category . As an application, we show the rationality of motivic zeta functions for all varieties whose motives are in the thick triangulated monoidal subcategory generated by motives of quasi-projective curves in . Together with a result due to P. O’sullivan, this also gives an example of a variety whose motive is not finite-dimensional while the motivic zeta function is rational.     

Double Hilbert transform on

We prove that the double Hilbert transform is a homeomorphism from onto itself.     

The strong asymptotic equivalence and the generalized inverse

We discuss the relationship between the strong asymptotic equivalence relation and the generalized inverse in the class of all nondecreasing and unbounded functions, defined and positive on a half-axis [a, +∞) (a > 0). In the main theorem, we prove a proper characterization of the function class IRV∩ , where IRV is the class of all -regularly varying functions (in the sense of Karamata) having continuous index function.

On some classes of contact metric manifolds

We define four new classes of contact metric manifoulds using Tanaka connection and Jacobi operators. We prove that a contact metric manifold with the structure vector field ξ belonging to thek-nullity distribution is contact metric locally ?-symmetric (in the sense of D. B. Blair) if and only if the manifold is a and space. Also, we prove that a 3-dimensional contact metric and is locally ?-symmetric (in the sense of D. E. Blair) and give counter-examples of the converse.     

On a characterization of finite dimensional real linear spaces

LetX be a real linear space; if is a linear topology onX, let denote the class of all bounded with respect to subsets ofX. In this paper it is shown that the spaceX is algebraically finite dimensional if and only if the class of all convex, absorbing and radially bounded subsets ofX is included in the intersection of all , where runs the set of all linear topologies onX.     

Chaos phenomena in a circle of three unidirectionally connected oscillators

A method is proposed for designing chaotic oscillators. Mathematically, three so-called partial oscillators S _j (j = 1, 2, 3) are chosen, each of which is modeled by a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations with a single attractor—an equilibrium or a cycle (the case S ₁ = S ₂ = S ₃ is not excluded). It is shown that, when unidirectionally connected in a circle of the form with suitably chosen parameters, these oscillators can exhibit a joint chaotic behavior.

On ℒ-starcompact spaces

A space X is ?-starcompact if for every open cover of X, there exists a Lindelöf subset L of X such that St(L, ) = X. We clarify the relations between ?-starcompact spaces and other related spaces and investigate topological properties of ?-starcompact spaces. A question of Hiremath
