Representations of groups with CAT(0) fixed point property

We show that certain representations over fields with positive characteristic of groups having CAT\((0)\) fixed point property \(\mathrm{F}\mathcal {B}_{\widetilde{A}_n}\) have finite image. In particular, we obtain rigidity results for representations of the following groups: the special linear group over \({\mathbb {Z}}\), \({\mathrm{SL}}_k({\mathbb {Z}})\), the special automorphism group of a free group, \(\mathrm{SAut}(F_k)\), the mapping class group of a closed orientable surface, \(\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma _g)\), and many other groups. In the case of characteristic zero, we show that low dimensional complex representations of groups having CAT\((0)\) fixed point property \(\mathrm{F}\mathcal {B}_{\widetilde{A}_n}\) have finite image if they always have compact closure.     

Locally algebraic vectors in the Breuil–Herzig ordinary part

For a fairly general reductive group \({G_{/\mathbb{Q}_p}}\), we explicitly compute the space of locally algebraic vectors in the Breuil–Herzig construction \({\Pi(\rho)^{ord}}\), for a potentially semistable Borel-valued representation \({\rho}\) of \({Gal(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_p/\mathbb{Q}_p)}\). The point being we deal with the whole representation, not just its socle—and we go beyond \({GL_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)}\). In the case of \({GL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)}\), this relation is one of the key properties of the \({p}\)-adic local Langlands correspondence. We give an application to \({p}\)-adic local-global compatibility for \({\Pi(\rho)^{ord}}\) for modular representations, but with no indecomposability assumptions.     

Families of optimal packings in real and complex Grassmannian spaces

A construction based on a \(4l \times 4l\) Hadamard matrix leads to a new family of optimal orthoplex packings in Grassmannian spaces \(G_{\mathbb {R}}(8l, 4l)\) and \(G_{\mathbb {C}}(4l, 2l)\). A related construction gives an optimal simplex packings in \(G_{\mathbb {R}}(8 l-1, 4 l - 1)\) and \(G_{\mathbb {R}}(8l-1, 4l)\) with the additional assumption of an \(8l \times 8l\) skew Hadamard matrix and a related 1-factorization of a complete graph. A construction of a maximal optimal simplex packings in \(G_{\mathbb {C}}(2l-1, l- 1)\) and \(G_{\mathbb {C}}(2l-1,l)\) is given.     

Restriction to symmetric subgroups of unitary representations of rank one semisimple Lie groups

We consider the spherical complementary series of rank one Lie groups \(H_n={ SO }_0(n, 1; {\mathbb {F}})\) for \({\mathbb {F}}={\mathbb {R}}, {\mathbb {C}}, {\mathbb {H}}\). We prove that there exist finitely many discrete components in its restriction under the subgroup \(H_{n-1}={ SO }_0(n-1, 1; {\mathbb {F}})\). This is proved by imbedding the complementary series into analytic continuation of holomorphic discrete series of \(G_n=SU(n, 1)\), \(SU(n, 1)\times SU(n, 1)\) and SU(2n, 2) and by the branching of holomorphic representations under the corresponding subgroup \(G_{n-1}\).     

Restriction of Representations of GL (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> + 1, <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℂ</Emphasis>) to GL (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℂ</Emphasis>) and Action of the Lie Overalgebra

Consider a restriction of an irreducible finite dimensional holomorphic representation of \(\text {GL}(n + 1,\mathbb {C})\) to the subgroup \(\text {GL}(n,\mathbb {C})\). We write explicitly formulas for generators of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {g}\mathfrak {l}(n + 1)\) in the direct sum of representations of \(\text {GL}(n,\mathbb {C})\). Nontrivial generators act as differential-difference operators, the differential part has order n ??1, the difference part acts on the space of parameters (highest weights) of representations. We also formulate a conjecture about unitary principal series of \(\text {GL}(n,\mathbb {C})\).     

Efficient construction of 2-chains representing a basis of $H_{2}(\overline {\Omega }, \partial {\Omega }; \mathbb {Z})$

We present an efficient algorithm for the construction of a basis of \(H_{2}(\overline {\Omega },\partial {\Omega };\mathbb {Z})\) via the Poincaré-Lefschetz duality theorem. Denoting by g the first Betti number of \(\overline {\Omega }\) the idea is to find, first g different 1-boundaries of \(\overline {\Omega }\) with supports contained in ?Ω whose homology classes in \(\mathbb {R}^{3} \setminus {\Omega }\) form a basis of \(H_{1}(\mathbb {R}^{3} \setminus {\Omega };\mathbb {Z})\), and then to construct a set of 2-chains in \(\overline {\Omega }\) having these 1-boundaries as their boundaries. The Poincaré-Lefschetz duality theorem ensures that the relative homology classes of these 2-chains in \(\overline {\Omega }\) modulo ?Ω form a basis of \(H_{2}(\overline {\Omega },\partial {\Omega };\mathbb {Z})\). We devise a simple procedure for the construction of the required set of 1-boundaries of \(\overline {\Omega }\) that, combined with a fast algorithm for the construction of 2-chains with prescribed boundary, allows the efficient computation of a basis of \(H_{2}(\overline {\Omega },\partial {\Omega };\mathbb {Z})\) via this very natural approach. Some numerical experiments show the efficiency of the method and its performance comparing with other algorithms.     

A class of non-compact homogeneous Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperbolic spaces

We study homogeneous Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperbolic spaces. We show there exists a correspondence between compact homogeneous Lagrangian submanifolds in \(\mathbb {C}H^{n}\) and the ones in \(\mathbb {C}^n\), or equivalently, in \(\mathbb {C}P^{n-1}\). Furthermore, we construct and classify non-compact homogeneous Lagrangian submanifolds in \(\mathbb {C}H^n\) obtained by the actions of connected closed subgroups of the solvable part of the Iwasawa decomposition.     

Construction of sign-changing solutions for a harmonic equation with subcritical exponent

In this paper, we study the harmonic equation involving subcritical exponent \((P_{\varepsilon })\): \( \Delta u = 0 \), in \(\mathbb {B}^n\) and \(\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu } + \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2}u = \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2} K u^{\frac{n}{n-2}-\varepsilon }\) on \( \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) where \(\mathbb {B}^n \) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\), \(n\ge 5\) with Euclidean metric \(g_0\), \(\partial \mathbb {B}^n = \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) is its boundary, K is a function on \(\mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) and \(\varepsilon \) is a small positive parameter. We construct solutions of the subcritical equation \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which blow up at two different critical points of K. Furthermore, we construct solutions of \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which have two bubbles and blow up at the same critical point of K.     

Cohomogeneity one actions on Minkowski spaces

We study isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the \((n+1)\)-dimensional Minkowski space \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) up to orbit-equivalence. We give examples of isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) whose orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. We show that there exist isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\), \(n \ge 3\), which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of an n-dimensional degenerate subspace \(\mathbb {W}^n\) of \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) and not orbit-equivalent on \(\mathbb {W}^n\). We classify isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^2\) and \(\mathbb {L}^3\) up to orbit-equivalence.     

On left-invariant Hörmander operators in $ {\mathbb{R}^N} $. applications to Kolmogorov–Fokker–Planck equations

If \( \mathcal{L} = \sum\limits_{j = 1}^m {X_j^2} + {X_0} \) is a Hörmander partial differential operator in \( {\mathbb{R}^N} \), we give sufficient conditions on the \( {X_{{j^{\text{S}}}}} \) for the existence of a Lie group structure \( \mathbb{G} = \left( {{\mathbb{R}^N},*} \right) \), not necessarily nilpotent, such that \( \mathcal{L} \) is left invariant on \( \mathbb{G} \). We also investigate the existence of a global fundamental solution Γ for \( \mathcal{L} \), providing results that ensure a suitable left-invariance property of Γ. Examples are given for operators \( \mathcal{L} \) to which our results apply: some are new; some have appeared in recent literature, usually quoted as Kolmogorov–Fokker–Planck-type operators. Nontrivial examples of homogeneous groups are also given.     

Weighted $${{L^p}}$$-Liouville theorems for hypoelliptic partial differential operators on Lie groups

We prove weighted \({L^p}\)-Liouville theorems for a class of second-order hypoelliptic partial differential operators \({\mathcal{L}}\) on Lie groups \({\mathbb{G}}\) whose underlying manifold is \({n}\)-dimensional space. We show that a natural weight is the right-invariant measure \(\check{H}\) of \({\mathbb{G}}\). We also prove Liouville-type theorems for \({C^{2}}\) subsolutions in \({L^{p}(\mathbb{G},\check{H})}\). We provide examples of operators to which our results apply, jointly with an application to the uniqueness for the Cauchy problem for the evolution operator \({\mathcal{L}-\partial_{t}}\).     

Ptolemy coordinates,Dehn invariant and the <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-polynomial

We define Ptolemy coordinates for representations that are not necessarily boundary-unipotent. This gives rise to a new algorithm for computing the \({{\mathrm{SL}}}(2,{\mathbb {C}})\;A\)-polynomial, and more generally the \({{\mathrm{SL}}}(n,{\mathbb {C}})\;A\)-varieties. We also give a formula for the Dehn invariant of an \({{\mathrm{SL}}}(n,{\mathbb {C}})\)-representation.     

On height isotopy classes of embeddings in the plane of a Morse function of a circle

Let \(\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\) be a set of stable Morse functions of an oriented circle such that the number of singular points is \(2n\in \mathbb {N}\) and the order of singular values satisfies the particular condition. For an orthogonal projection \(\pi :\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), let \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) be embedding lifts of f. If there is an ambient isotopy \(\tilde{\varphi }_t:\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) \((t\in [0,1])\) such that \({\pi \circ \tilde{\varphi }}_t(y_1,y_2)=y_1\) and \(\tilde{\varphi }_1\circ {\tilde{f}}_0={\tilde{f}}_1\), we say that \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1\) are height isotopic. We define a function \(I:\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\rightarrow \mathbb {N}\) as follows: I(f) is the number of height isotopy classes of embeddings such that each rotation number is one. In this paper, we determine the maximal value of the function I equals the n-th Baxter number and the minimal value equals \(2^{n-1}\).     

Magnetic Trajectories in an Almost Contact Metric Manifold $${\mathbb{R}^{2N+1}}$$

In this paper we classify magnetic trajectories γ in \({{\mathbb{R}}^{2N+1}}\) endowed with a canonical quasi-Sasakian structure, corresponding to a magnetic field proportional to the fundamental 2-form. We prove that they are helices of order 5 and we show that there exists a totally geodesic \({{\mathbb{R}}^5}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^{2N+1}}\) such that γ lies in \({{\mathbb{R}}^5}\). Moreover, the quasi-Sasakian structure of \({{\mathbb{R}}^5}\) is that induced from the ambient manifold.     

There is exactly one $${\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4$$-cyclic 1-perfect code

Let \(\mathcal{C}\) be a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-additive code of length \(n > 3\). We prove that if the binary Gray image of \(\mathcal{C}\) is a 1-perfect nonlinear code, then \(\mathcal{C}\) cannot be a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-cyclic code except for one case of length \(n=15\). Moreover, we give a parity check matrix for this cyclic code. Adding an even parity check coordinate to a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-additive 1-perfect code gives a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-additive extended 1-perfect code. We also prove that such a code cannot be \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-cyclic.     

On the admissible sets of type $\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{M})$ over recursively saturated models

Some effective expression is obtained for the elements of an admissible set \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{M})\) as template sets. We prove the Σ-reducibility of \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{M})\) to \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{F}(\mathfrak{M})\) for each recursively saturated model \(\mathfrak{M}\) of a regular theory, give a criterion for uniformization in \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{M})\) for each recursively saturated model \(\mathfrak{M}\), and establish uniformization in \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{N})\) and \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\Re ')\), where \(\mathfrak{N}\) and \(\Re '\) are recursively saturated models of arithmetic and real closed fields. We also prove the absence of uniformization in \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{F}(\mathfrak{M})\) and \(\mathbb{H}\mathbb{Y}\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{M})\) for each countably saturated model \(\mathfrak{M}\) of an uncountably categorical theory, and give an example of this type of theory with definable Skolem functions. Furthermore, some example is given of a model of a regular theory with Σ-definable Skolem functions, but lacking definable Skolem functions in every extension by finitely many constants.     

A characterization of $$\mathbb {Z}_{2}\mathbb {Z}_{2}[u]$$-linear codes

We prove that the class of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\mathbb {Z}_2[u]\)-linear codes is exactly the class of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\)-linear codes with automorphism group of even order. Using this characterization, we give examples of known codes, e.g. perfect codes, which have a nontrivial \(\mathbb {Z}_2\mathbb {Z}_2[u]\) structure. Moreover, we exhibit some examples of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\)-linear codes which are not \(\mathbb {Z}_2\mathbb {Z}_2[u]\)-linear. Also, we state that the duality of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\mathbb {Z}_2[u]\)-linear codes is the same as the duality of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\)-linear codes. Finally, we prove that the class of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\mathbb {Z}_4\)-linear codes which are also \(\mathbb {Z}_2\)-linear is strictly contained in the class of \(\mathbb {Z}_2\mathbb {Z}_2[u]\)-linear codes.
