A Feynman integral in Lifshitz‐point and Lorentz‐violating theories in

We evaluate a 1‐loop, 2‐point, massless Feynman integral I_D,m(p,q) relevant for perturbative field theoretic calculations in strongly anisotropic d=D+m dimensional spaces given by the direct sum . Our results are valid in the whole convergence region of the integral for generic (noninteger) codimensions D and m. We obtain series expansions of I_D,m(p,q) in terms of powers of the variable X:=4p²/q⁴, where p=| p |, q=| q |, , , and in terms of generalised hypergeometric functions ₃F₂(−X), when X<1. These are subsequently analytically continued to the complementary region X≥1. The asymptotic expansion in inverse powers of X^1/2 is derived. The correctness of the results is supported by agreement with previously known special cases and extensive numerical calculations.     

Notes on a generalized Fresnel class

In this paper we establish a theorem for the generalized Fresnel class F _A1,A2 ensuring that various functions are in F _A1,A2. We also prove a translation theorem for the analytic Feynman integral of functions in F _A1,A2.This research was supported in part by the Basic Science Research Program, Ministry of Education.     

Algebraicity of Global Real Analytic Hypersurfaces

Let X be an algebraic manifold without compact component and let V be a compact coherent analytic hypersurface in X, with finite singular set. We prove that V is diffeotopic (in X) to an algebraic hypersurface in X if and only if the homology class represented by V is algebraic and singularities are locally analytically equivalent to Nash singularities. This allows us to construct algebraic hypersurfaces in X with prescribed Nash singularities.     

Analytic Discs and Extension of CR Functions

Let M be a manifold of X = C ⁿ , A a small analytic disc attached to M, z ^o a point of A where A is tangent to M, z ¹ another point of A where M extends to a germ of manifold M ₁ with boundary M. We prove that CR functions on M which extend to M ₁ at z ¹ also extend at z ^o to a new manifold M ₂. The directions M ₁ and M ₂ point to, are related by a sort of connection associated to A which is dual to the connection obtained by attaching 'partial analytic lifts' of A to the co-normal bundle to M in X.     

Finite Interpolation with Minimum Uniform Norm in

Given a finite sequence a{a₁, …, a_N} in a domain Ω ⁿ, and complex scalars v{v₁, …, v_N}, consider the classical extremal problem of finding the smallest uniform norm of a holomorphic function verifying f(a_j)=v_j for all j. We show that the modulus of the solutions to this problem must approach its least upper bound along a subset of the boundary of the domain large enough so that its A(Ω)-hull contains a subset of the original a large enough to force the same minimum norm. Furthermore, all the solutions must agree on a variety which contains the hull (in an appropriate, weaker, sense) of a measure supported on the maximum modulus set. An example is given to show that the inclusions can be strict.     

Parabolic Schemes for Quasi-Linear Parabolic and Hyperbolic PDEs via Stochastic Calculus

We consider two quasi-linear initial-value Cauchy problems on ? ^d : a parabolic system and an hyperbolic one. They both have a first order non-linearity of the form φ(t, x, u)·?u, a forcing term h(t, x, u) and an initial condition u ₀ ∈ L ^∞(? ^d ) ∩ C ^∞(? ^d ), where φ (resp. h) is smooth and locally (resp. globally) Lipschitz in u uniformly in (t, x). We prove the existence of a unique global strong solution for the parabolic system. We show the existence of a unique local strong solution for the hyperbolic one and we give a lower bound regarding its blow up time. In both cases, we do not use weak solution theory but a direct construction based on parabolic schemes studied via a stochastic approach and a regularity result for sequences of parabolic operators. The result on the hyperbolic problem is performed by means of a non-classical vanishing viscosity method.     

Elliptic operators with general Wentzell boundary conditions,analytic semigroups and the angle concavity theorem

We prove a very general form of the Angle Concavity Theorem, which says that if (T (t)) defines a one parameter semigroup acting over various L^p spaces (over a fixed measure space), which is analytic in a sector of opening angle θ_p, then the maximal choice for θ_p is a concave function of 1 – 1/p. This and related results are applied to give improved estimates on the optimal L^p angle of ellipticity for a parabolic equation of the form ?u /?t = Au, where A is a uniformly elliptic second order partial differential operator with Wentzell or dynamic boundary conditions. Similar results are obtained for the higher order equation ?u /?t = (–1)^{m +l}A^mu, for all positive integers m.     

Zeros of Asai-Eisenstein series

We generalize a result of Max Deuring on the zeros of Zeta-function of quadratic forms to Asai's non-holomophic Eisenstein series E(z,s) of the Hilbert modular group. We prove that inside the rectangular and −1≤Re(s) ≤ 2 the function E(z,s) has only simple zeros on the line Re(s)=1/2 and two simple real zeros, if |N(y)| is large.

Equivariant uniformization theorem for subanalytic sets

In this paper we prove an equivariant version of the uniformization theorem for closed subanalytic sets: Let G be a Lie group and let M be a proper real analytic G-manifold. Let X be a closed subanalytic G-invariant subset of M. We show that there exist a proper real analytic G-manifold N of the same dimension as X and a proper real analytic G-equivariant map such that .      

Global Analytic Regularity for Structures of Co-Rank One

We consider real analytic involutive structures 𝒱, of co-rank one, defined on a real analytic paracompact orientable manifold M. To each such structure we associate certain connected subsets of M which we call the level sets of 𝒱. We prove that analytic regularity propagates along them. With a further assumption on the level sets of 𝒱 we characterize the global analytic hypoellipticity of a differential operator naturally associated to 𝒱.

As an application we study a case of tube structures.     

Grope cobordism and feynman diagrams

We explain how the usual algebras of Feynman diagrams behave under the grope degree introduced in [CT]. We show that the Kontsevich integral rationally classifies grope cobordisms of knots in 3-space when the class is used to organize gropes. This implies that the grope cobordism equivalence relations are highly nontrivial in dimension 3. We also show that the class is not a useful organizing complexity in 4 dimensions since only the Arf invariant survives. In contrast, measuring gropes according to height does lead to very interesting 4-dimensional information [COT]. Finally, several low degree calculations are explained, in particular we show that S-equivalence is the same relation as grope cobordism based on the smallest tree with an internal vertex.

Global existence and analyticity of solution for the generalized Hall-magnetohydrodynamics system

We investigate the global existence and analyticity of mild solution to the three-dimensional generalized Hall-magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system in this work. We prove the global existence and analyticity of solutions in the corresponding critical spaces. The work extends global existence and analyticity of solutions to Hall-MHD system in Duan and MHD system in Wang and Ye and Zhao, to the generalized Hall-MHD system with 1/2 ≤ α,β ≤ 1.     

Trace operators,Feynman distributions,and multiparameter white noise

Within the framework of white noise analysis on the probability space = ^* R ^d R ^M , the recent work by Johnson and Kallianpur on the Hu-Meyer formula, traces, and natural extensions is generalized to the multiparameter case:d>1. Besides providing a more general setting for these topics, the paper gives an alternative definition for the traces, a distributional version of the natural extension, and a generalized Kallianpur-Feynman distribution. The development illustrates how traces and natural extensions are intimately related to Wick products and the change of covariance formula from quantum field theory, as well as to the projective tensor product of Hilbert spaces from functional analysis.     

Web‐compact spaces,Fréchet‐Urysohn groups and a Suslin closed graph theorem

A topological space X is strongly web‐compact if X admits a family {A_α: α ∈ ?^?} of relatively countably compact sets covering X and such that A_α ? A_β for α ≤ β. The main result of this paper states the following: Theorem A Let X and Y be topological groups and f a homomorphism between X and Y with closed graph. If X is Fréchet‐Urysohn and Baire and Y is strongly web‐compact, then f is continuous. This extends a result of Valdivia. We provide an example showing that the property of being strongly web‐compact is not productive. This applies to show that there are quasi‐Suslin spaces X whose product X × X is not quasi‐Suslin (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Characteristic Functions for Multicontractions and Automorphisms of the Unit Ball

A multicontraction on a Hilbert space is an n-tuple of operators T = (T₁,..., T_n) acting on , such that . We obtain some results related to the characteristic function of a commuting multicontraction, most notably discussing its behaviour with respect to the action of the analytic automorphisms of the unit ball.     

Removable singularities for weighted Bergman spaces

We develop a theory of removable singularities for the weighted Bergman space , where μ is a Radon measure on ℂ. The set A is weakly removable for , and strongly removable for . The general theory developed is in many ways similar to the theory of removable singularities for Hardy H ^p spaces, BMO and locally Lipschitz spaces of analytic functions, including the existence of counterexamples to many plausible properties, e.g. the union of two compact removable singularities needs not be removable. In the case when weak and strong removability are the same for all sets, in particular if μ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure m, we are able to say more than in the general case. In this case we obtain a Dolzhenko type result saying that a countable union of compact removable singularities is removable. When dμ = wdm and w is a Muckenhoupt A _p weight, 1 < p < ∞, the removable singularities are characterized as the null sets of the weighted Sobolev space capacity with respect to the dual exponent p′ = p/(p − 1) and the dual weight w′ = w ^{1/(1 − p)}.     

Multiple Cuts with a Homogeneous Analytic Center Cutting Plane Method

This paper analyzes the introduction of multiple central cuts in a conic formulation of the analytic center cutting plane method (in short ACCPM). This work extends earlier work on the homogeneous ACCPM, and parallels the analysis of the multiple cut process in the standard ACCPM. The main issue is the calculation of a direction that restores feasibility after introducing p new cutting planes at the query point. We prove that the new analytic center can be recovered in O(p log p) damped Newton iterations, where is a parameter depending of the data. We also present two special cases where the complexity can be decreased to O (p log p). Finally, we show that the number of calls to the oracle is the same as in the single cut case, up to a factor .
