N-point locality for vertex operators: Normal ordered products,operator product expansions,twisted vertex algebras

In this paper we study fields satisfying N-point locality and their properties. We obtain residue formulae for N-point local fields in terms of derivatives of delta functions and Bell polynomials. We introduce the notion of the space of descendants of N-point local fields which includes normal ordered products and coefficients of operator product expansions. We show that examples of N  -point local fields include the vertex operators generating the boson–fermion correspondences of types B, C and D-A. We apply the normal ordered products of these vertex operators to the setting of the representation theory of the double-infinite rank Lie algebras _b∞$b_{\infty }$, _c∞$c_{\infty }$, _d∞$d_{\infty }$. Finally, we show that the field theory generated by N-point local fields and their descendants has a structure of a twisted vertex algebra.     

On fractal properties of non-normal numbers with respect to Rényi f-expansions generated by piecewise linear functions

The paper is devoted to the study of fractal properties of subsets of the set of non-normal numbers with respect to Rényi f  -expansions generated by continuous increasing piecewise linear functions defined on [0,+∞)$[0,+\infty )$. All such expansions are expansions for real numbers generated by infinite linear IFS f={_f0,_f1,…,_fn,…}$f=\{f_0,f_1,\dots ,f_n,\dots \}$ with the following list of ratios _Q∞=(_q0,_q1,…,_qn,…)$Q_{\infty }=(q_0,q_1,\dots ,q_n,\dots )$.     

On zeros of solutions of higher order homogeneous linear differential equations

In this article, we investigate the exponent of convergence of zeros of solutions for some higher-order homogeneous linear differential equation, and prove that if A_k−1 is the dominant coefficient, then every transcendental solution f(z) of equation

f(k)+A_k-1 f(k-1)+?+A₀ f=0$f^{(k)}+A_{k-1}\hspace{0.17em}{f}^{(k-1)}+?+A_0\hspace{0.17em}f=0$

satisfies λ(f) = ∞, where λ(f) denotes the exponent of convergence of zeros of the meromorphic function f(z).     

Characterization of soliton solutions in 2D nonlinear Schrödinger lattices by using the spatial disorder

In this paper, the pattern of the soliton solutions to the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) equations in a 2D   lattice is studied by the construction of horseshoes in _l∞$l_{\infty }$-spaces. The spatial disorder of the DNLS equations is the result of the strong amplitudes and stiffness of the nonlinearities. The complexity of this disorder is log(N+1)$\log (N+1)$ where N   is the number of turning points of the nonlinearities. For the case N=1$N=1$, there exist disjoint intervals _I0$I_0$ and _I1$I_1$, for which the state _um,n$u_{m,n}$ at site (m,n)$(m,n)$ can be either dark (_um,n∈_I0$u_{m,n}\in I_0$) or bright (_um,n∈_I1$u_{m,n}\in I_1$) that depends on the configuration _km,n=0$k_{m,n}=0$ or 1, respectively. Bright soliton solutions of the DNLS equations with a cubic nonlinearity are also discussed.     

The stabilized set of p's in Krivine's theorem can be disconnected

For any closed subset F   of [1,∞]$[1,\infty ]$ which is either finite or consists of the elements of an increasing sequence and its limit, a reflexive Banach space X with a 1-unconditional basis is constructed so that in each block subspace Y of X  , _?p${?}_p$ is finitely block represented in Y   if and only if p∈F$p\in F$. In particular, this solves the question as to whether the stabilized Krivine set for a Banach space had to be connected. We also prove that for every infinite dimensional subspace Y of X there is a dense subset G of F such that the spreading models admitted by Y   are exactly the _?p${?}_p$ for p∈G$p\in G$.     

Traveling wave solutions of advection–diffusion equations with nonlinear diffusion

We study the existence of particular traveling wave solutions of a nonlinear parabolic degenerate diffusion equation with a shear flow. Under some assumptions we prove that such solutions exist at least for propagation speeds c∈]_c?,+∞[$c\in ]c_{?},+\infty [$, where _c?>0$c_{?}>0$ is explicitly computed but may not be optimal. We also prove that a free boundary hypersurface separates a region where u=0$u=0$ and a region where u>0$u>0$, and that this free boundary can be globally parametrized as a Lipschitz continuous graph under some additional non-degeneracy hypothesis; we investigate solutions which are, in the region u>0$u>0$, planar and linear at infinity in the propagation direction, with slope equal to the propagation speed.     

Lifting homotopy T-algebra maps to strict maps

The settings for homotopical algebra—categories such as simplicial groups, simplicial rings, _A∞$A_{\infty }$ spaces, _E∞$E_{\infty }$ ring spectra, etc.—are often equivalent to categories of algebras over some monad or triple T. In such cases, T is acting on a nice simplicial model category in such a way that T descends to a monad on the homotopy category and defines a category of homotopy T-algebras. In this setting there is a forgetful functor from the homotopy category of T-algebras to the category of homotopy T-algebras.     

Minimal time of controllability of two parabolic equations with disjoint control and coupling domains

We consider two parabolic equations coupled by a matrix A(x)=q(x)A₀$A(x)=q(x)A_0$, where A₀$A_0$ is a Jordan block of order 1, and controlled by a single localized function, or by a single boundary control. The support of the coupling coefficient, q  , and the control domain may be disjoint. We exhibit an explicit minimal time of null-controllability, T₀(q)∈[0,+∞]$T_0(q)\in [0,+\infty ]$.
