Induced representations and a new proof of the imprimitivity theorem

We present a brief and elementary proof of the Imprimitivity Theorem for an arbitrary locally compact group.     

SHAPE AND INDUCED REPRESENTATIONS

Abstract

Let K: P → T be a fixed functor. A criterion is given for a functor M': T → V to be a (right) Kan extension along K of some functor M: P → V. The functors M having a given M' as Kan extension are, in general, classified by continuous functors (V ^P)^o → V. We introduce a notion of system of imprimitivity, generalizing that of Mackey; when the shape category of K is codense in the systems of imprimitivity classify the functors H having M' as Kan extension. As a special case one obtains Mackey's Imprimitivity Theorem for finite groups.     

Unbounded Induced Representations of ∗-Algebras

Induced representations of *-algebras by unbounded operators in Hilbert space are investigated. Conditional expectations of a *-algebra ${{\mathcal{A}}}$ onto a unital *-subalgebra ${{\mathcal{B}}}$ are introduced and used to define inner products on the corresponding induced modules. The main part of the paper is concerned with group graded *-algebras ${{\mathcal{A}}}=\oplus_{g\in G}{{\mathcal{A}}}_g$ for which the *-subalgebra ${{\mathcal{B}}}:={{\mathcal{A}}}_e$ is commutative. Then the canonical projection $p:{{\mathcal{A}}}\to{{\mathcal{B}}}$ is a conditional expectation and there is a partial action of the group G on the set ${{\mathcal{B}}}p$ of all characters of ${{\mathcal{B}}}$ which are nonnegative on the cone $\sum{{\mathcal{A}}}^2{{\mathcal{A}}}p{{\mathcal{B}}}.$ The complete Mackey theory is developed for *-representations of ${{\mathcal{A}}}$ which are induced from characters of ${{\widehat{{{\mathcal{B}}}}^+}}.$ Systems of imprimitivity are defined and two versions of the Imprimitivity Theorem are proved in this context. A concept of well-behaved *-representations of such *-algebras ${{\mathcal{A}}}$ is introduced and studied. It is shown that well-behaved representations are direct sums of cyclic well-behaved representations and that induced representations of well-behaved representations are again well-behaved. The theory applies to a large variety of examples. For important examples such as the Weyl algebra, enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras su(2), su(1,1), and of the Virasoro algebra, and *-algebras generated by dynamical systems our theory is carried out in great detail.     

Embedding cycles of various lengths into star graphs with both edge and vertex faults

The n-dimensional star graph S_n is an attractive alternative to the hypercube graph and is a bipartite graph with two partite sets of equal size. Let F_v and F_e be the sets of faulty vertices and faulty edges of S_n, respectively. We prove that S_n − F_v − F_e contains a fault-free cycle of every even length from 6 to n! − 2∣F_v∣ with ∣F_v∣ + ∣F_e∣ ? n − 3 for every n ? 4. We also show that S_n − F_v − F_e contains a fault-free path of length n! − 2∣F_v∣ − 1 (respectively, n! − 2∣F_v∣ − 2) between two arbitrary vertices of S_n in different partite sets (respectively, the same partite set) with ∣F_v∣ + ∣F_e∣ ? n − 3 for every n ? 4.     

Schatten properties,nuclearity and minimality of phase shift invariant spaces

We extend Feichtinger's minimality property on the smallest non-trivial time-frequency shift invariant Banach space, to the quasi-Banach case. Analogous properties are deduced for certain matrix spaces.We use these results to prove that the pseudo-differential operator $\mathrm{Op}(a)$ is a Schatten-q operator from $M^{\infty }$ to $M^p$ and r-nuclear operator from $M^{\infty }$ to $M^r$ when $a\in M^r$ for suitable p, q and r in $(0,\infty ]$.     

Equivalences among Z2s-linear Hadamard codes

The ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-additive codes are subgroups of ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}^n$, and can be seen as a generalization of linear codes over ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$ and ${\mathbb{Z}}_4$. A ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard code is a binary Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-additive code. A partial classification of these codes by using the dimension of the kernel is known. In this paper, we establish that some ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard codes of length $2^t$ are equivalent, once $t$ is fixed. This allows us to improve the known upper bounds for the number of such nonequivalent codes. Moreover, up to $t=11$, this new upper bound coincides with a known lower bound (based on the rank and dimension of the kernel). Finally, when we focus on $s\in \{2,3\}$, the full classification of the ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard codes of length $2^t$ is established by giving the exact number of such codes.     

Graph-like compacta: Characterizations and Eulerian loops

A compact graph-like space is a triple $\left(X,V,E\right)$, where $X$ is a compact, metrizable space, $V\subseteq X$ is a closed zero-dimensional subset, and $E$ is an index set such that $X⧹V\cong \text{◂+▸}E\times \left(0,1\right)$. New characterizations of compact graph-like spaces are given, connecting them to certain classes of continua, and to standard subspaces of Freudenthal compactifications of locally finite graphs. These are applied to characterize Eulerian graph-like compacta.     

Bounded edge-connectivity and edge-persistence of Cartesian product of graphs

The bounded edge-connectivity λ_k(G) of a connected graph G with respect to is the minimum number of edges in G whose deletion from G results in a subgraph with diameter larger than k and the edge-persistence D⁺(G) is defined as λ_d(G)(G), where d(G) is the diameter of G. This paper considers the Cartesian product G₁×G₂, shows λ_k1+k2(G₁×G₂)≥λ_k1(G₁)+λ_k2(G₂) for k₁≥2 and k₂≥2, and determines the exact values of D⁺(G) for G=C_n×P_m, C_n×C_m, Q_n×P_m and Q_n×C_m.
