Composition Followed by Differentiation Between H ∞ and Zygmund Spaces

Let j{\varphi} be an analytic self-map of the unit disk \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}}, H(\mathbbD){H(\mathbb{D})} the space of analytic functions on \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} and g ? H(\mathbbD){g \in H(\mathbb{D})}. The boundedness and compactness of the operator DC_j : H^￥ ? Z{DC_\varphi : H^\infty \rightarrow { \mathcal Z}} are investigated in this paper.     

Triangulating Smooth Submanifolds with Light Scaffolding

We propose an algorithm to sample and mesh a k-submanifold M{\mathcal{M}} of positive reach embedded in \mathbbR^d{\mathbb{R}^{d}} . The algorithm first constructs a crude sample of M{\mathcal{M}} . It then refines the sample according to a prescribed parameter e{\varepsilon} , and builds a mesh that approximates M{\mathcal{M}} . Differently from most algorithms that have been developed for meshing surfaces of \mathbbR ³{\mathbb{R} ^3} , the refinement phase does not rely on a subdivision of \mathbbR ^d{\mathbb{R} ^d} (such as a grid or a triangulation of the sample points) since the size of such scaffoldings depends exponentially on the ambient dimension d. Instead, we only compute local stars consisting of k-dimensional simplices around each sample point. By refining the sample, we can ensure that all stars become coherent leading to a k-dimensional triangulated manifold [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} . The algorithm uses only simple numerical operations. We show that the size of the sample is O(e^-k){O(\varepsilon ^{-k})} and that [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} is a good triangulation of M{\mathcal{M}} . More specifically, we show that M{\mathcal{M}} and [^(M)]{\hat{\mathcal{M}}} are isotopic, that their Hausdorff distance is O(e²){O(\varepsilon ^{2})} and that the maximum angle between their tangent bundles is O(e){O(\varepsilon )} . The asymptotic complexity of the algorithm is T(e) = O(e^-k2-k){T(\varepsilon) = O(\varepsilon ^{-k^2-k})} (for fixed M, d{\mathcal{M}, d} and k).     

The affine preservers of non-singular matrices

When \mathbbK{\mathbb{K}} is an arbitrary field, we study the affine automorphisms of M_n(\mathbbK){{\rm M}_n(\mathbb{K})} that stabilize GL_n(\mathbbK){{\rm GL}_n(\mathbb{K})}. Using a theorem of Dieudonné on maximal affine subspaces of singular matrices, this is easily reduced to the known case of linear preservers when n > 2 or # ${\mathbb{K} > 2}${\mathbb{K} > 2}. We include a short new proof of the more general Flanders theorem for affine subspaces of M_p,q(\mathbbK){{\rm M}_{p,q}(\mathbb{K})} with bounded rank. We also find that the group of affine transformations of M₂(\mathbbF₂){{\rm M}_2(\mathbb{F}_2)} that stabilize GL₂(\mathbbF₂){{\rm GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_2)} does not consist solely of linear maps. Using the theory of quadratic forms over \mathbbF₂{\mathbb{F}_2}, we construct explicit isomorphisms between it, the symplectic group Sp₄(\mathbbF₂){{\rm Sp}_4(\mathbb{F}_2)} and the symmetric group \mathfrakS₆{\mathfrak{S}_6}.     

Weakly Singular and Microscopically Hypersingular Load Perturbation for a Nonlinear Traction Boundary Value Problem: a Functional Analytic Approach

Let Ω ⁱ and Ω ^o be two bounded open subsets of \mathbbRⁿ{{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} containing 0. Let G ⁱ be a (nonlinear) map from ?Wⁱ×\mathbbRⁿ{\partial\Omega^{i}\times {\mathbb{R}}^{n}} to \mathbbRⁿ{{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} . Let a ^o be a map from ∂Ω ^o to the set M_n(\mathbbR){M_{n}({\mathbb{R}})} of n × n matrices with real entries. Let g be a function from ∂Ω ^o to \mathbbRⁿ{{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} . Let γ be a positive valued function defined on a right neighborhood of 0 in the real line. Let T be a map from ]1-(2/n),+￥[×M_n(\mathbbR){]1-(2/n),+\infty[\times M_{n}({\mathbb{R}})} to M_n(\mathbbR){M_{n}({\mathbb{R}})} . Then we consider the problem

Homomorphisms with respect to a function

Let X be a realcompact space and H:C(X)?\mathbbR{H:C(X)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}} be an identity and order preserving group homomorphism. It is shown that H is an evaluation at some point of X if and only if there is j ? C(\mathbbR){\varphi\in C(\mathbb{R})} with ${\varphi(r)>\varphi(0)}${\varphi(r)>\varphi(0)} for all r ? \mathbbR-{0}{r\in\mathbb{R}-\{0\}} for which H°j = j°H{H\circ\varphi=\varphi\circ H} . This extends (and unifies) classical results by Hewitt and Shirota.     

Spectral theorem for multipliers on {L_{\omega}^{2}(\mathbb{R})}

We study the spectrum σ(M) of the multipliers M which commute with the translations on weighted spaces ${L_{\omega}^{2}(\mathbb{R})}We study the spectrum σ(M) of the multipliers M which commute with the translations on weighted spaces L_w²(\mathbbR){L_{\omega}^{2}(\mathbb{R})} For operators M in the algebra generated by the convolutions with f ? C_c(\mathbb R){\phi \in {C_c(\mathbb {R})}} we show that [`(m(W))] = s(M){\overline{\mu(\Omega)} = \sigma(M)}, where the set Ω is determined by the spectrum of the shift S and μ is the symbol of M. For the general multipliers M we establish that [`(m(W))]{\overline{\mu(\Omega)}} is included in σ(M). A generalization of these results is given for the weighted spaces L²_w(\mathbb R^k){L^2_{\omega}(\mathbb {R}^{k})} where the weight ω has a special form.     

The coherence of complemented ideals in the space of real analytic functions

We characterize when an ideal of the algebra ${A(\mathbb{R}^d)}We characterize when an ideal of the algebra A(\mathbbR^d){A(\mathbb{R}^d)} of real analytic functions on \mathbbR^d{\mathbb{R}^d} which is determined by the germ at \mathbb R^d{\mathbb {R}^d} of a complex analytic set V is complemented under the assumption that either V is homogeneous or V?\mathbbR^d{V\cap \mathbb{R}^d} is compact. The characterization is given in terms of properties of the real singularities of V. In particular, for an arbitrary complex analytic variety V complementedness of the corresponding ideal in A(\mathbbR^d){A(\mathbb{R}^d)} implies that the real part of V is coherent. We also describe the closed ideals of A(\mathbbR^d){A(\mathbb{R}^d)} as sections of coherent sheaves.     

Modular Lie algebras and the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}Let \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field \mathbbK\mathbb{K} of characteristic 0. Let \mathfrakg_\mathbbZ{\mathfrak{g}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}} be a Chevalley ℤ-form of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} and \mathfrakg_\Bbbk=\mathfrakg_\mathbbZ?_\mathbbZ\Bbbk{\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}={\mathfrak{g}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}}\otimes _{{\mathbb{Z}}}\Bbbk, where \Bbbk\Bbbk is the algebraic closure of  \mathbbF_p{\mathbb{F}}_{p}. Let G_\BbbkG_{\Bbbk} be a simple, simply connected algebraic \Bbbk\Bbbk-group with \operatornameLie(G_\Bbbk)=\mathfrakg_\Bbbk\operatorname{Lie}(G_{\Bbbk})={\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}. In this paper, we apply recent results of Rudolf Tange on the fraction field of the centre of the universal enveloping algebra U(\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)U({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) to show that if the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture (from 1966) holds for \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}}, then for all p≫0 the field of rational functions \Bbbk (\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)\Bbbk ({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) is purely transcendental over its subfield \Bbbk(\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)^G_\Bbbk\Bbbk({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk})^{G_{\Bbbk}}. Very recently, it was proved by Colliot-Thélène, Kunyavskiĭ, Popov, and Reichstein that the field of rational functions \mathbbK(\mathfrakg){\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}}) is not purely transcendental over its subfield \mathbbK(\mathfrakg)^\mathfrakg{\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}})^{\mathfrak{g}} if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B _n , n≥3, D _n , n≥4, E₆, E₇, E₈ or F₄. We prove a modular version of this result (valid for p≫0) and use it to show that, in characteristic 0, the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture fails for the simple Lie algebras of the above types. In other words, if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B _n , n≥3, D _n , n≥4, E₆, E₇, E₈ or F₄, then the Lie field of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is more complicated than expected.     

Local well-posedness for the space–time Monopole equation in Lorenz gauge

It is known from Czubak (Anal PDE 3(2):151–174, 2010) that the space–time Monopole equation is locally well-posed in the Coulomb gauge for small initial data in H^s(\mathbbR²){H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)} for ${s>\frac{1}{4}}${s>\frac{1}{4}}. Here we prove local well-posedness for arbitrary initial data in H^s(\mathbbR²){H^s(\mathbb{R}^2)} with ${s>\frac{1}{4}}${s>\frac{1}{4}} in the Lorenz gauge.     

Asymptotic behavior of the generalized Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation

Cauchy’s problem for a generalization of the KdV–Burgers equation is considered in Sobolev spaces H¹(\mathbbR){H^1(\mathbb{R})} and H²(\mathbbR){H^2(\mathbb{R})}. We study its local and global solvability and the asymptotic behavior of solutions (in terms of the global attractors). The parabolic regularization technique is used in this paper which allows us to extend the strong regularity properties and estimates of solutions of the fourth order parabolic approximations onto their third order limit—the generalized Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation. For initial data in H²(\mathbbR){H^2(\mathbb{R})} we study the notion of viscosity solutions to KdVB, while for the larger H¹(\mathbbR){H^1(\mathbb{R})} phase space we introduce weak solutions to that problem. Finally, thanks to our general assumptions on the nonlinear term f guaranteeing that the global attractor is usually nontrivial (i.e., not reduced to a single stationary solution), we study an upper semicontinuity property of the family of global attractors corresponding to parabolic regularizations when the regularization parameter e{\epsilon} tends to 0⁺ (which corresponds the passage to the KdVB equation).     

Local–global divisibility by 4 in elliptic curves defined over {\mathbb{Q}}

Let ${\mathcal{E}}Let E{\mathcal{E}} be an elliptic curve defined over \mathbbQ{\mathbb{Q}} . Let P ? E(\mathbb Q){P\in {\mathcal{E}}(\mathbb {Q})} and let q be a positive integer. Assume that for almost all valuations v ? \mathbbQ{v\in \mathbb{Q}} , there exist points D_v ? E(\mathbb Q_v){D_v\in {\mathcal{E}}(\mathbb {Q}_v)} such that P = qD _v . Is it possible to conclude that there exists a point D ? E(\mathbb Q){D\in {\mathcal{E}}(\mathbb {Q})} such that P = qD? A full answer to this question is known when q is a power of almost all primes p ? \mathbbN{p\in \mathbb{N}} , but some cases remain open when p ? S={2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,37,43,67,163}{p\in S=\{2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,37,43,67,163\}} . We now give a complete answer in the case when q = 4.     

An Inverse Theorem for the Uniformity Seminorms Associated with the Action of {{\mathbb {F}^{\infty}_{p}}}

Let ${\mathbb {F}}Let \mathbb F{\mathbb {F}} a finite field. We show that the universal characteristic factor for the Gowers–Host–Kra uniformity seminorm U ^k (X) for an ergodic action (T_g)_{g ? \mathbb F^w}{(T_{g})_{{g} \in \mathbb {F}^{\omega}}} of the infinite abelian group \mathbb F^w{\mathbb {F}^{\omega}} on a probability space X = (X, B, m){X = (X, \mathcal {B}, \mu)} is generated by phase polynomials f: X ? S¹{\phi : X \to S^{1}} of degree less than C(k) on X, where C(k) depends only on k. In the case where k ￡ char(\mathbb F){k \leq {\rm char}(\mathbb {F})} we obtain the sharp result C(k) = k. This is a finite field counterpart of an analogous result for \mathbb Z{\mathbb {Z}} by Host and Kra [HK]. In a companion paper [TZ] to this paper, we shall combine this result with a correspondence principle to establish the inverse theorem for the Gowers norm in finite fields in the high characteristic case k ￡ char(\mathbb F){k \leq {\rm char}(\mathbb {F})} , with a partial result in low characteristic.     

Absolutely convergent fourier series. An improvement of the Beurling-Helson theorem

We consider the space A(\mathbbT)A(\mathbb{T}) of all continuous functions f on the circle \mathbbT\mathbb{T} such that the sequence of Fourier coefficients [^(f)] = { [^(f)]( k ), k ? \mathbbZ }\hat f = \left\{ {\hat f\left( k \right), k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right\} belongs to l ¹(ℤ). The norm on A(\mathbbT)A(\mathbb{T}) is defined by || f ||_A(\mathbbT) = || [^(f)] ||_{l¹ (\mathbbZ)}\left\| f \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = \left\| {\hat f} \right\|_{l^1 (\mathbb{Z})}. According to the well-known Beurling-Helson theorem, if f:\mathbbT ? \mathbbT\phi :\mathbb{T} \to \mathbb{T} is a continuous mapping such that || e^inf ||_A(\mathbbT) = O(1)\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = O(1), n ∈ ℤ then φ is linear. It was conjectured by Kahane that the same conclusion about φ is true under the assumption that || e^inf ||_A(\mathbbT) = o( log| n | )\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\log \left| n \right|} \right). We show that if $\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\left( {{{\log \log \left| n \right|} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\log \log \left| n \right|} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right)^{1/12} } \right)$\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\left( {{{\log \log \left| n \right|} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\log \log \left| n \right|} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right)^{1/12} } \right), then φ is linear.     

Entropy bounds and second cohomology

When X is a finite complex and p₁X\pi_{1}X acts on \mathbbR²{\mathbb{R}}^2 by translations we give criteria involving H²X for an equivariant map F : [(X)\tilde] ? \mathbbR²F : \tilde{X} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^2 to be onto. Following work of Manning and Shub, this leads to entropy bounds related to Shub’s entropy conjecture.     

Analytic cohomology groups in top degrees of Zariski open sets in {\mathbb{P}^n}

We show that if A is a closed analytic subset of \mathbbPⁿ{\mathbb{P}^n} of pure codimension q then Hⁱ(\mathbbPⁿ\ A,F){H^i(\mathbb{P}^n{\setminus} A,{\mathcal F})} are finite dimensional for every coherent algebraic sheaf F{{\mathcal F}} and every i 3 n-[\fracn-1q]{i\geq n-\left[\frac{n-1}{q}\right]} . If n-1 3 2q we show that H^n-2(\mathbbPⁿ\ A,F)=0{n-1\geq 2q\,{\rm we show that}\, H^{n-2}(\mathbb{P}^n{\setminus} A,{\mathcal F})=0} .     

Almost Periodicity of Parabolic Evolution Equations with Inhomogeneous Boundary Values

We show the existence and uniqueness of the (asymptotically) almost periodic solution to parabolic evolution equations with inhomogeneous boundary values on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} and \mathbbR_±\mathbb{R}_{\pm}, if the data are (asymptotically) almost periodic. We assume that the underlying homogeneous problem satisfies the ‘Acquistapace–Terreni’ conditions and has an exponential dichotomy. If there is an exponential dichotomy only on half intervals ( − ∞, − T] and [T, ∞), then we obtain a Fredholm alternative of the equation on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} in the space of functions being asymptotically almost periodic on \mathbbR₊{\mathbb{R}}_{+} and \mathbbR_-\mathbb{R}_{-}.     

Relative universality and universality obtained by adding constants

A variety ${\mathbb{V}}${\mathbb{V}} is var-relatively universal if it contains a subvariety \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} such that the class of all homomorphisms that do not factorize through any algebra in \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} is algebraically universal. And \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} if adding α nullary operations to all algebras in \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} gives rise to a class a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} of algebras that is algebraically universal. The first two authors have conjectured that any varrelative universal variety \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} . This note contains a more general result that proves this conjecture.     

Compact Surfaces with Constant Gaussian Curvature in Product Spaces

We prove that the only compact surfaces of positive constant Gaussian curvature in \mathbbH²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}} (resp. positive constant Gaussian curvature greater than 1 in \mathbbS²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{S}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}}) whose boundary Γ is contained in a slice of the ambient space and such that the surface intersects this slice at a constant angle along Γ, are the pieces of a rotational complete surface. We also obtain some area estimates for surfaces of positive constant Gaussian curvature in \mathbbH²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}} and positive constant Gaussian curvature greater than 1 in \mathbbS²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{S}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}} whose boundary is contained in a slice of the ambient space. These estimates are optimal in the sense that if the bounds are attained, the surface is again a piece of a rotational complete surface.
