Poincaré polynomial and {SL(2, \mathbb{C})} -representation on Kähler manifolds

The cohomology ring of any compact Kähler manifold gives rise to an ${SL(2, \mathbb{C})}$ -representation. In this short note, we show that the character of this representation essentially is the Poincaré polynomial of this Kähler manifold, which gives a natural interpretation of the Poincaré polynomial for Kähler manifolds. Our result is an analogue to an interpretation of the χ _y genus for holomorphic symplectic manifolds due to George Thompson.     

Poincaré sections for the horocycle flow in covers of $$\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {R})/\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {Z})$$ and applications to Farey fraction statistics

For a given finite index subgroup \(H\subseteq \mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {Z})\), we use a process developed by Fisher and Schmidt to lift a Poincaré section of the horocycle flow on \(\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {R})/\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {Z})\) found by Athreya and Cheung to the finite cover \(\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {R})/H\) of \(\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {R})/\mathrm {SL}(2,\mathbb {Z})\). We then use the properties of this section to prove the existence of the limiting gap distribution of various subsets of Farey fractions. Additionally, to each of these subsets of fractions, we extend solutions by Xiong and Zaharescu, and independently Boca, to a Diophantine approximation problem of Erd?s, Szüsz, and Turán.     

Triple product L-functions and quantum chaos on SL(2, ℂ)

Let Y be an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold. We establish a link between quantum unique ergodicity for sections of automorphic vector bundles on Y and subconvexity for the triple product L-function, which extends a result of Watson in the case of hyperbolic 2-manifolds. The proof combines the representation theoretic microlocal lift for bundles developed by Bunke and Olbrich with the triple product formula of Ichino. A key step is determining the asymptotic behaviour of the local integrals at complex places that appear in Ichino’s formula.     

Invariants of 2 × 2 matrices, irreducible {\hbox{SL}(2, \mathbb{C})} characters and the Magnus trace map

We obtain an explicit characterization of the stable points of the action of on the cartesian product G  ^{× n} by simultaneous conjugation on each factor in terms of the corresponding invariant functions. From this, a simple criterion for the irreducibility of representations of finitely generated groups into G is derived. We also obtain analogous results for the action of on the vector space of n-tuples of 2 × 2 complex matrices. For a free group F _n of rank n, we show how to generically reconstruct the 2 ^n-2 conjugacy classes of representations F _n → G from their values under the map considered in Magnus [Math. Zeit. 170, 91–103 (1980)], defined by certain 3n − 3 traces of words of length one and two.      

Geodesic flows on SL(2, ℝ) with nonholonomic restrictions

In this paper we study the nonholonomic geodesic flow on SL₂. We describe the dynamic structure of this flow on compact homogeneous spaces of SL₂. In particular, it is shown that there exist four-dimensional invariant components on which the flow is ergodic.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Notes on von Neumann–Jordan and James Constants for Absolute Norms on {\mathbb{R}^2}

Let ${\|\cdot\|_{\psi}}$ be the absolute norm on ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ corresponding to a convex function ${\psi}$ on [0, 1] and ${C_{\text{NJ}}(\|\cdot\|_{\psi})}$ its von Neumann–Jordan constant. It is known that ${\max \{M_1^2, M_2^2\} \leq C_{\text{NJ}}(\| \cdot \|_{\psi}) \leq M_1^2 M_2^2}$ , where ${M_1 = \max_{0 \leq t \leq 1} \psi(t)/ \psi_2(t)}$ , ${M_2 = \max_{0\leq t \leq 1} \psi_2(t)/ \psi(t)}$ and ${\psi_2}$ is the corresponding function to the ? ₂-norm. In this paper, we shall present a necessary and sufficient condition for the above right side inequality to attain equality. A corollary, which is valid for the complex case, will cover a couple of previous results. Similar results for the James constant will be presented.     

Surfaces with $${K^2=2\mathcal{X}-2}$$ and pg ≥ 5

This note describes minimal surfaces S of general type satisfying p _g  ≥ 5 and K ² = 2p _g . For p _g  ≥ 8 the canonical map of such surfaces is generically finite of degree 2 and the bulk of the paper is a complete characterization of such surfaces with non birational canonical map. It turns out that if p _g  ≥ 13, S has always an (unique) genus 2 fibration, whose non 2-connected fibres can be characterized, whilst for p _g  ≤ 12 there are two other classes of such surfaces with non birational canonical map.     

Automorphic functions on SL(m,ℝ)

One presents a method for the expansion of functions F:SL(m,)^h that are automorphic with respect ot the congruence subgroup in SL(m,). For m=2 the method gives the usual expansion into Fourier series. One gives a comparison with the expansion presented previously by the author in the paper: The expansion of automorphic functions, J. Sov. Math.,26, No. 3 (1984).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 129, pp. 164–176, 1983.     

Beurling’s theorem for SL(2,$${\mathbb{R}}$$)

We prove Beurling’s theorem for the full group SL(2,). This is the master theorem in the quantitative uncertainty principle as all the other theorems of this genre follow from it.     

Fredholm and regularity theory of Douglis–Nirenberg elliptic systems on {\mathbb{R}^{N}}

We give a fairly complete exposition of the Fredholm properties of the Douglis–Nirenberg elliptic systems on ${\mathbb{R}^{N}}$ in the classical (unweighted) L ^p Sobolev spaces and under “minimal” assumptions about the coefficients. These assumptions rule out the use of classical pseudodifferential operator theory, although it is indirectly of assistance in places. After generalizing a necessary and sufficient condition for Fredholmness, already known in special cases, various invariance properties are established (index, null space, etc.), with respect to p and the Douglis–Nirenberg numbers. Among other things, this requires getting around the problem that the L ^p spaces are not ordered by inclusion. In turn, with some work, invariance leads to a regularity theory more general than what can be obtained by the method of differential quotients.     

The sails of the SL(2,ℤ) operators and their symmetries

We relate the symmetries of the hyperbolic operators of SL(2,?) to the symmetries of their sails and of the periods of their geometric continued fractions.     

Schiffer’s Problem and an Isoperimetric Inequality for the First Buckling Eigenvalue of Domains on $$\mathbb{S}^{2}$$

On invariant ccc σ-ideals on 2^{\mathbb{N}}

We study structural properties of the collection of all σ-ideals in the σ-algebra of Borel subsets of the Cantor group \(2^{\mathbb{N}}\) , especially those which satisfy the countable chain condition (ccc) and are translation invariant. We prove that the latter collection contains an uncountable family of pairwise orthogonal members and, as a consequence, a strictly decreasing sequence of length ω ₁. We also make some observations related to the σ-ideal I _ccc on \(2^{\mathbb{N}}\) , consisting of all Borel sets which belong to every translation invariant ccc σ-ideal on \(2^{\mathbb{N}}\) . In particular, improving earlier results of Rec?aw, Kraszewski and Komjáth, we show that:

• every subset of \(2^{\mathbb{N}}\) of cardinality less than can be covered by a set from I _ccc,
• there exists a set C∈I _ccc such that every countable subset Y of \(2^{\mathbb{N}}\) is contained in a translate of C.

     

Asymptotics and weighted estimates of meixner polynomials orthogonal on the gird {0, δ, 2δ, ...}

Suppose that 0<δ≤1,N=1/δ, and α, ga≥0, is an integer. For the classical Meixner polynomials orthonormal on the gird {0, δ, 2δ, ...} with weight ρ(x)=(1-e ^−δ)^αг(Nx+α+ 1)/г(Nx+1), the following asymptotic formula is obtained: . The remainderv _n,N ^α (z) forn≤λN satisfies the estimate

A note on Ramanujan’s identities involving the hypergeometric function {_{2}}F_{1}(\frac{1}{6},\frac{5}{6};1;z)

We study a class of elliptic functions associated with the hypergeometric function ${_{2}}F_{1}(\frac{1}{6},\frac{5}{6};1;z)$ . From the perspective of the properties of conformal mappings and differential equations, we provide new insight into a set of identities of Ramanujan associated with the above hypergeometric function.     

Symplectic Twistor Operator on \mathbb R ^{2n} and the Segal–Shale–Weil Representation

The aim of our article is the study of solution space of the symplectic twistor operator $T_s$ in symplectic spin geometry on standard symplectic space $(\mathbb R ^{2n},\omega )$ , which is the symplectic analogue of the twistor operator in (pseudo) Riemannian spin geometry. In particular, we observe a substantial difference between the case $n=1$ of real dimension $2$ and the case of $\mathbb R ^{2n}, n>1$ . For $n>1$ , the solution space of $T_s$ is isomorphic to the Segal–Shale–Weil representation.     

双圆盘加权Hardy空间上$T_{z_1^{k_1}z_2^{k_2}+\bar{z}_1^{l_1}\bar{z}_2^{l_2}}$的约化子空间

本文中, 我们主要刻画了Toeplitz算子$T=M_{z^k}+M^*_{z^l}$的约化子空间, 其中 $k_i, l_i$ ($i=1,2$) 均是正整数, $k=(k_1,k_2), l=(l_1,l_2)$ 且 $k\neq l$, $M_{z^k}$, $M_{z^l}$ 是双圆盘加权Hardy空间$\mathcal{H}_\omega^2(\mathbb{D}^2)$上的乘法算子. 对权系数 $\omega$ 适当限制, 我们证明了由 $z^m$ 生成的 $T$ 的约化子空间均是极小的. 特别地, Bergman 空间和加权 Dirichlet 空间 $\mathcal{D}_\delta(\mathbb{D}^2)(\delta>0)$ 均是满足该限制条件的加权Hardy空间. 作为应用, 我们刻画了 $\mathcal{D}_\delta(\mathbb{D}^2)(\delta>0)$ 上 Toeplitz 算子 $T_{z^k+\bar{z}^l}$ 的约化子空间, 该结论是对双圆盘Bergman 空间上相关结论的推广.
