$${\mathcal{R}}$$ -boundedness,pseudodifferential operators,and maximal regularity for some classes of partial differential operators

It is shown that an elliptic scattering operator A on a compact manifold with boundary with operator valued coefficients in the morphisms of a bundle of Banach spaces of class () and Pisier’s property (α) has maximal regularity (up to a spectral shift), provided that the spectrum of the principal symbol of A on the scattering cotangent bundle avoids the right half-plane. This is accomplished by representing the resolvent in terms of pseudodifferential operators with -bounded symbols, yielding by an iteration argument the -boundedness of λ(A−λ)⁻¹ in for some . To this end, elements of a symbolic and operator calculus of pseudodifferential operators with -bounded symbols are introduced. The significance of this method for proving maximal regularity results for partial differential operators is underscored by considering also a more elementary situation of anisotropic elliptic operators on with operator valued coefficients.     

On the Circumference of 2-Connected $$\mathcal{P}_{3}$$-Dominated Graphs

Let G be a connected graph. For at distance 2, we define , and , if then . G is quasi-claw-free if it satisfies , and G is P ₃-dominated() if it satisfies , for every pair (x, y) of vertices at distance 2. Certainly contains as a subclass. In this paper, we prove that the circumference of a 2-connected P ₃-dominated graph G on n vertices is at least min or , moreover if then G is hamiltonian or , where is a class of 2-connected nonhamiltonian graphs.     

Geometric second derivative estimates in Carnot groups and convexity

We prove some new a priori estimates for H ₂-convex functions which are zero on the boundary of a bounded smooth domain Ω in a Carnot group . Such estimates are global and are geometric in nature as they involve the horizontal mean curvature of ∂Ω. As a consequence of our bounds we show that if has step two, then for any smooth H ₂-convex function in vanishing on ∂Ω one has

$${\mathcal{C}}_{0}$$ ( X)-algebras,stability and strongly self-absorbing $${\mathcal{C}}^{*}$$ -algebras

We study permanence properties of the classes of stable and so-called -stable -algebras, respectively. More precisely, we show that a (X)-algebra A is stable if all its fibres are, provided that the underlying compact metrizable space X has finite covering dimension or that the Cuntz semigroup of A is almost unperforated (a condition which is automatically satisfied for -algebras absorbing the Jiang–Su algebra tensorially). Furthermore, we prove that if is a K ₁-injective strongly self-absorbing -algebra, then A absorbs tensorially if and only if all its fibres do, again provided that X is finite-dimensional. This latter statement generalizes results of Blanchard and Kirchberg. We also show that the condition on the dimension of X cannot be dropped. Along the way, we obtain a useful characterization of when a -algebra with weakly unperforated Cuntz semigroup is stable, which allows us to show that stability passes to extensions of -absorbing -algebras.

Characterizing cryptogroups with a finite number of $${\mathcal{H}}$$ -classes in each $${\mathcal{D}}$$ -class by their subsemigroups

We construct a family of completely regular semigroups with the property that each completely regular semigroup S with a finite number of -classes in each -class is non-cryptic if and only if S contains an isomorphic image of a member of . Each member F of is an ideal extension of a Rees matrix semigroup J by a cyclic group B with a zero adjoined and the identity of B is the identity of F. Here with I and Λ finite, G is given by generators and relations, and P is given explicitly. Within completely regular semigroups, the cryptic property is equivalent to where is the natural partial order and a if and only if a ² = ab = ba. Hence the above result can be formulated in terms of and .      

Quasiperiodic Group Factorizations

If is any ring or semi-ring (e.g., ) and G is a finite abelian group, two elements a, b of the group (semi-)ring are said to form a factorization of G if ab = rΣ _g∈G g for some . A factorization is called quasiperiodic if there is some element g ∈ G of order m > 1 such that either a or b – say b – can be written as a sum b ₀ + ... + b _m−1 of m elements of such that ab _h = g ^h ab ₀ for h = 0, ... , m − 1. Hajós [5] conjectured that all factorizations are quasiperiodic when and r = 1 but Sands [15] found a counterexample for the group . Here we show however that all factorizations of abelian groups are quasiperiodic when and that all factorizations of cyclic groups or of groups of the type are quasiperiodic when . We also give some new examples of non-quasiperiodic factorizations with for the smaller groups and . Received: May 12, 2006. Revised: October 3, 2007.     

Determination of simple CM abelian surfaces defined over $${\mathbb{Q}}$$

It is known that in the moduli space of elliptic curves, there exist precisely nine -rational points represented by an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by the maximal order of an imaginary quadratic field. In Murabayashi and Umegaki (J Algebra 235:267–274, 2001) and Umegaki [Determination of all -rational CM-points in the moduli spaces of polarized abelian surfaces, Analytic number theory (Beijng/Kyoto, 1999). Dev. Math., vol 6. Kluwer, Dordrecht, pp 349–357, 2002] we determined all -rational points in (the moduli space of d-polarized abelian surfaces) represented by a d-polarized abelian surface whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to the maximal order of a quartic CM-field by using the result in Murabayashi (J Reine Angew Math 470:1–26, 1996). In this paper, we prove that polarized abelian surfaces corresponding to these -rational CM points have a -rational model by constructing certain Hecke characters.     

Categorification of Wedderburn’s basis for {\mathbb{C}}[S_{n}]

M. Neunh?ffer studies in [21] a certain basis of with the origins in [14] and shows that this basis is in fact Wedderburn’s basis, hence decomposes the right regular representation of S _n into a direct sum of irreducible representations (i.e. Specht or cell modules). In the present paper we rediscover essentially the same basis with a categorical origin coming from projective-injective modules in certain subcategories of the BGG-category . Inside each of these categories, there is a dominant projective module which plays a crucial role in our arguments and will additionally be used to show that Kostant’s problem ([10]) has a negative answer for some simple highest weight module over the Lie algebra . This disproves the general belief that Kostant’s problem should have a positive answer for all simple highest weight modules in type A.

Chains and antichains in partial orderings

We study the complexity of infinite chains and antichains in computable partial orderings. We show that there is a computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain but none that is or , and also obtain the analogous result for antichains. On the other hand, we show that every computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain must have an infinite chain that is the difference of two sets. Our main result is that there is a computably axiomatizable theory K of partial orderings such that K has a computable model with arbitrarily long finite chains but no computable model with an infinite chain. We also prove the corresponding result for antichains. Finally, we prove that if a computable partial ordering has the feature that for every , there is an infinite chain or antichain that is relative to , then we have uniform dichotomy: either for all copies of , there is an infinite chain that is relative to , or for all copies of , there is an infinite antichain that is relative to .     

The $${\overline{\partial}}$$-equation on homogeneous varieties with an isolated singularity

Let X be a regular irreducible variety in , Y the associated homogeneous variety in , and N the restriction of the universal bundle of to X. In the present paper, we compute the obstructions to solving the -equation in the L ^p -sense on Y for 1 ≤  p ≤  ∞ in terms of cohomology groups . That allows to identify obstructions explicitly if X is specified more precisely, for example if it is equivalent to or an elliptic curve.

Formal structure of direct image of holonomic $${\mathcal{D}}$$ -modules of exponential type

We compute formal invariants associated with the cohomology sheaves of the direct image of holonomic -modules of exponential type. We also prove that every formal -modules is isomorphic, after a ramification, to a germ of formalized direct image of analytic -module of exponential type.

Fibred multilinks and singularities $${f \overline g}$$

In this article we extend Milnor’s fibration theorem to the case of functions of the form with f, g holomorphic, defined on a complex analytic (possibly singular) germ (X, 0). We further refine this fibration theorem by looking not only at the link of , but also at its multi-link structure, which is more subtle. We mostly focus on the case when X has complex dimension two. Our main result (Theorem 4.4) gives in this case the equivalence of the following three statements:

Weak Quantum Enveloping Algebras of Borcherds Superalgebras

In present paper we define a new kind of weak quantized enveloping algebra of Borcherds superalgebras . It is a noncommutative and noncocommutative weak graded Hopf algebra. Using localizing with some Ore set, we obtain a different kind of quantized enveloping algebras of Borcherds superalgebras . It has a homomorphic image which is isomorphic to the usual quantum enveloping algebra of . Moreover, is isomorphic to a direct sum of and an other algebra as algebras.

A Note on the Green Invariants in Finite Group Modular Representative Theory

As in Finite Group Modular Representation Theory, let be a commutative complete noetherian ring with an algebraically closed residue field k. Let G be a finite group and let N be a normal subgroup of G. First suppose that V is an indecomposable -module, so that Inf ^G _G/N (V) is an indecomposable G-module. We relate the Green invariants of V as an -module to those of Inf ^G _G/N (V) as an G-module. Secondly, let V and W be indecomposable G-modules. Assume that W is an endo-permutation lattice and that is also an indecomposable G-module. We relate the Green invariants of the G-modules V and .

Tautness for riemannian foliations on non-compact manifolds

For a riemannian foliation on a closed manifold M, it is known that is taut (i.e. the leaves are minimal submanifolds) if and only if the (tautness) class defined by the mean curvature form (relatively to a suitable riemannian metric μ) is zero (cf. álvarez in Ann Global Anal Geom 10:179–194, 1992). In the transversally orientable case, tautness is equivalent to the non-vanishing of the top basic cohomology group , where (cf. Masa in Comment Math Helv 67:17–27, 1992). By the Poincaré Duality (cf. Kamber et and Tondeur in Astérisque 18:458–471, 1984) this last condition is equivalent to the non-vanishing of the basic twisted cohomology group , when M is oriented. When M is not compact, the tautness class is not even defined in general. In this work, we recover the previous study and results for a particular case of riemannian foliations on non compact manifolds: the regular part of a singular riemannian foliation on a compact manifold (CERF).

Three-dimensional sets with small sumset

We describe the structure of three dimensional sets of lattice points, having a small doubling property. Let be a finite subset of ℤ³ such that dim = 3. If and , then lies on three parallel lines. Moreover, for every three dimensional finite set that lies on three parallel lines, if , then is contained in three arithmetic progressions with the same common difference, having together no more than terms. These best possible results confirm a recent conjecture of Freiman and cannot be sharpened by reducing the quantity υ or by increasing the upper bounds for .     

Solutions of affine stochastic functional differential equations in the state space

We consider solutions of affine stochastic functional differential equations on . The drift of these equations is specified by a functional defined on a general function space which is only described axiomatically. The solutions are reformulated as stochastic processes in the space . By representing such a process in the bidual space of we establish that the transition functions of this process form a generalized Gaussian Mehler semigroup on . This way the process is characterized completely on since it is Markovian. Moreover we derive a sufficient and necessary condition on the underlying space such that the transition functions are even an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup. We exploit this result to associate a Cauchy problem in the function space to the stochastic functional differential equation.
