Powers of the Euler product and commutative subalgebras of a complex simple Lie algebra

If is a complex simple Lie algebra, and k does not exceed the dual Coxeter number of , then the absolute value of the k^th coefficient of the power of the Euler product may be given by the dimension of a subspace of defined by all abelian subalgebras of of dimension k. This has implications for all the coefficients of all the powers of the Euler product. Involved in the main results are Dale Petersons 2^rank theorem on the number of abelian ideals in a Borel subalgebra of , an element of type and my heat kernel formulation of Macdonalds -function theorem, a set D_alcove of special highest weights parameterized by all the alcoves in a Weyl chamber (generalizing Young diagrams of null m-core when ), and the homology and cohomology of the nil radical of the standard maximal parabolic subalgebra of the affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra.     

The Density of Linear Symplectic Cocycles with Simple Lyapunov Spectrum in YIC（X, SL（2, R））

Let （X, G（X）, m） be a probability space with a-algebra G（X） and probability measure m. The set V in G is called P-admissible, provided that for any positive integer n and positive-measure set Vn∈ contained in V, there exists a Zn∈G such that Zn belong to Vn and 0 〈 m（Zn） 〈 1/n. Let T be an ergodic automorphism of （X, G） preserving m, and A belong to the space of linear measurable symplectic cocycles     

On the Kashiwara–Vergne conjecture

Let G be a connected Lie group, with Lie algebra . In 1977, Duflo constructed a homomorphism of -modules , which restricts to an algebra isomorphism on invariants. Kashiwara and Vergne (1978) proposed a conjecture on the Campbell-Hausdorff series, which (among other things) extends the Duflo theorem to germs of bi-invariant distributions on the Lie group G. The main results of the present paper are as follows. (1) Using a recent result of Torossian (2002), we establish the Kashiwara–Vergne conjecture for any Lie group G. (2) We give a reformulation of the Kashiwara–Vergne property in terms of Lie algebra cohomology. As a direct corollary, one obtains the algebra isomorphism , as well as a more general statement for distributions.     

Crystal Base Elements of an Extremal Weight Module Fixed by a Diagram Automorphism

In our previous work, we introduced a bijection between the elements of the crystal base of the negative (resp. positive) part of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of a Kac–Moody algebra that are fixed by a diagram automorphism and the elements of the crystal base of the negative (resp. positive) part of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of the orbit Lie algebra of . In this paper, we prove that this bijection commutes with the *-operation. As an application of this result we show that there exists a canonical bijection between the elements ℬ⁰(λ) of the crystal base ℬ(λ) of an extremal weight module of extremal weight λ over that are fixed by a diagram automorphism and the elements of the crystal base of an extremal weight module of extremal weight over , if the crystal graph of is connected.

On the Cauchy problem for D t 2–D x a(t,x) n D x

Abstract The well posedness of the Cauchy problem for the operator P=D_t²–D_xa(t,x)ⁿD_x, with data on t=0 is studied assuming a ∈ C^N( (R)), s₀>1 and sufficiently close to 1, a(t,x)≥ 0. Well posedness is proved in Gevrey classes γ^(s), for , n≥ n₀. Keywords: Partial differential equations, Cauchy problem, Well posedness     

F-singularities of pairs and Inversion of Adjunction of arbitrary codimension

We generalize the notions of F-regular and F-pure rings to pairs of rings R and ideals with real exponent t>0, and investigate these properties. These F-singularities of pairs correspond to singularities of pairs of arbitrary codimension in birational geometry. Via this correspondence, we prove a sort of Inversion of Adjunction of arbitrary codimension, which states that for a pair (X,Y) of a smooth variety X and a closed subscheme , if the restriction (Z,Y|_Z) to a normal -Gorenstein closed subvariety is klt (resp. lc), then the pair (X,Y+Z) is plt (resp. lc) near Z.     

Strong rigidity of II1 factors arising from malleable actions of w-rigid groups, I

We consider crossed product II₁ factors , with G discrete ICC groups that contain infinite normal subgroups with the relative property (T) and σ trace preserving actions of G on finite von Neumann algebras N that are “malleable” and mixing. Examples are the actions of G by Bernoulli shifts (classical and non-classical) and by Bogoliubov shifts. We prove a rigidity result for isomorphisms of such factors, showing the uniqueness, up to unitary conjugacy, of the position of the group von Neumann algebra L(G) inside M. We use this result to calculate the fundamental group of M, , in terms of the weights of the shift σ, for and other special arithmetic groups. We deduce that for any subgroup S⊂ℝ₊^* there exist II₁ factors M (separable if S is countable or S=ℝ₊^*) with . This brings new light to a long standing open problem of Murray and von Neumann.

Properties of Auto- and Antiautomorphisms of Maximal Chain Structures and their Relations to i-Perspectivities

Let E be a non empty set, let P : = E × E, := {x × E|x ∈ E}, := {E × x|x ∈ E}, and := {C ∈ 2 ^P |∀X ∈ : |C ∩ X| = 1} and let . Then the quadruple resp. is called chain structure resp. maximal chain structure. We consider the maximal chain structure as an envelope of the chain structure . Particular chain structures are webs, 2-structures, (coordinatized) affine planes, hyperbola structures or Minkowski planes. Here we study in detail the groups of automorphisms , , , related to a maximal chain structure . The set of all chains can be turned in a group such that the subgroup of generated by the left-, by the right-translations and by ι the inverse map of is isomorphic to (cf. (2.14)).     

Polyhedral groups, McKay quivers, and the finite algebraic groups with tame principal blocks

Given an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p≥3, we classify the finite algebraic k-groups whose algebras of measures afford a principal block of tame representation type. The structure of such a group is largely determined by a linearly reductive subgroup scheme of SL(2), with the McKay quiver of relative to its standard module being the Gabriel quiver of the principal block . The graphs underlying these quivers are extended Dynkin diagrams of type or , and the tame blocks are Morita equivalent to generalizations of the trivial extensions of the radical square zero tame hereditary algebras of the corresponding type.

Resolvent estimates and local energy decay for hyperbolic equations

Abstract We examine the cut-off resolvent R_χ(λ) = χ (–Δ_D – λ²)^–1χ, where Δ_D is the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition and equal to 1 in a neighborhood of the obstacle K. We show that if R_χ(λ) has no poles for , then This estimate implies a local energy decay. We study the spectrum of the Lax-Phillips semigroup Z(t) for trapping obstacles having at least one trapped ray. Keywords: Trapping obstacles, Resonances, Local energy decay, Cut-off resolvent     

Local André-Oort conjecture for the universal abelian variety

We prove a p-adic version of the André-Oort conjecture for subvarieties of the universal abelian varieties. Let g and n be integers with n≥3 and p a prime number not dividing n. Let R be a finite extension of , the ring of Witt vectors of the algebraic closure of the field of p elements. The moduli space of g-dimensional principally polarized abelian varieties with full level n-structure as well as the universal abelian variety over may be defined over R. We call a point R-special if is a canonical lift and ξ is a torsion point of its fibre. Employing the model theory of difference fields and work of Moonen on special subvarieties of , we show that an irreducible subvariety of containing a dense set of R-special points must be a special subvariety in the sense of mixed Shimura varieties.     

On the effective Nullstellensatz

Let be an algebraically closed field and let be an n-dimensional affine variety. Assume that f₁,...,f_k are polynomials which have no common zeros on X. We estimate the degrees of polynomials such that 1=∑^k_i=1A_if_i on X. Our estimate is sharp for k≤n and nearly sharp for k>n. Now assume that f₁,...,f_k are polynomials on X. Let be the ideal generated by f_i. It is well-known that there is a number e(I) (the Noether exponent) such that √I^e(I)⊂I. We give a sharp estimate of e(I) in terms of n, deg X and deg f_i. We also give similar estimates in the projective case. Finally we obtain a result from the elimination theory: if is a system of polynomials with a finite number of common zeros, then we have the following optimal elimination:

On a semigroup generated by a convex combination of two Feller generators

Let be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Let A and B be two generators of Feller semigroups in with related Feller processes {X _A (t), t ≥ 0} and {X _B (t), t ≥ 0} and let α and β be two non-negative continuous functions on with α + β = 1. Assume that the closure C of C ₀ = αA + βB with generates a Feller semigroup {T _C (t), t ≥ 0} in . It is natural to think of a related Feller process {X _C (t), t ≥ 0} as that evolving according to the following heuristic rules. Conditional on being at a point , with probability α(p) the process behaves like {X _A (t), t ≥ 0} and with probability β(p) it behaves like {X _B (t), t ≥ 0}. We provide an approximation of {T _C (t), t ≥ 0} via a sequence of semigroups acting in that supports this interpretation. This work is motivated by the recent model of stochastic gene expression due to Lipniacki et al. [17].     

Bounds on Variation of Spectral Subspaces under J-Self-adjoint Perturbations

Let A be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space . Assume that the spectrum of A consists of two disjoint components σ₀ and σ₁. Let V be a bounded operator on , off-diagonal and J-self-adjoint with respect to the orthogonal decomposition where and are the spectral subspaces of A associated with the spectral sets σ₀ and σ₁, respectively. We find (optimal) conditions on V guaranteeing that the perturbed operator L = A + V is similar to a self-adjoint operator. Moreover, we prove a number of (sharp) norm bounds on the variation of the spectral subspaces of A under the perturbation V. Some of the results obtained are reformulated in terms of the Krein space theory. As an example, the quantum harmonic oscillator under a -symmetric perturbation is discussed.

Iterated Brownian Motion in Parabola-Shaped Domains

Iterated Brownian motion Z_t serves as a physical model for diffusions in a crack. If τ_D(Z) is the first exit time of this processes from a domain D⊂ℝⁿ, started at z∈D, then P_z[τ_D(Z)>t] is the distribution of the lifetime of the process in D. In this paper we determine the large time asymptotics of which gives exponential integrability of for parabola-shaped domains of the form P_α={(x,Y)∈ℝ×ℝⁿ⁻¹:x>0, |Y|<Ax^α}, for 0<α<1, A>0. We also obtain similar results for twisted domains in ℝ² as defined in DeBlassie and Smits: Brownian motion in twisted domains, Preprint, 2004. In particular, for a planar iterated Brownian motion in a parabola we find that for z∈℘
