Existence of Moduli for Bi-Lipschitz Equivalence of Analytic Functions

We show that the bi-Lipschitz equivalence of analytic function germs (², 0)(, 0) admits continuous moduli. More precisely, we propose an invariant of the bi-Lipschitz equivalence of such germs that varies continuously in many analytic families f _t : (², 0)(, 0). For a single germ f the invariant of f is given in terms of the leading coefficients of the asymptotic expansions of f along the branches of generic polar curve of f.

Parabolic exhaustions for strictly convex domains

Using results of L. Lempert, we are able to construct parabolic exhaustions for strictly convex domains D^m with center at any given point of D. Using the theory of parabolic spaces and the geometric properties of these exhaustions, we can characterize the strictly convex domains biholomorphic to a circular domain and in particular to the ball in ^m.Supported by a grant from the C.N.R.

Totally real imbeddings and the universal covering spaces of domains of holomorphy: Some examples

We begin with a review of the known examples of compact totally realn-dimensional submanifolds of _n . We then construct some new families of examples, including some which are simply connected. We conclude by using these examples to construct bounded domains of holomorphy in _n whose universal covering spaces are not biholomorphically equivalent to domains in _n .Herrn Prof. Dr. Karl Stein gewidmetResearch supported in part by Grant MCS 8301142 from the National Science FoundationResearch supported in part by Grant MCS 8219229 from the National Science Foundation     

On the dimensions of automorphism groups of eight-dimensional ternary fields,II

LetT be an eight-dimensional, connected, locally compact ternary field and let denote a connected closed Lie subgroup of its automorphism group which is taken with the compact-open topology. It is proved that if the ternary fixed fieldF of is connected, then is either isomorphic to one of the compact Lie groupsG ₂ or SU₃, or the (covering) dimension of is at most 7.     

On the quotient ring by diagonal invariants

For a finite Coxeter group, W, and its reflection representation , we find the character and Hilbert series for a quotient ring of [^*] by an ideal containing the W–invariant polynomials without constant term. This confirms conjectures of Haiman.     

Constructing one-parameter transformations on white noise functions in terms of equicontinuous generators

Let be a barreled locally convex space. A continuous operator on is called anequicontinuous generator if { ⁿ /n!;n=0,1,2,...} is an equicontinuous family of operators. For each equicontinuous generator a one-parameter group of operators is constructed by means of power series. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the equicontinuous generators and the locally equicontinuous holomorphic one-parameter groups of operators. If two equicontinuous generators ₁, ₂ satisfy [₁,₂]=₂ for some thena₁+b₂ is also an equicontinuous generator for anya, b. These general results are applied to a study of operators on white noise functions. In particular, a linear combination of the number operator and the Gross Laplacian, which are natural infinite dimensional analogues of a finite dimensional Laplacian, is always an equicontinuous generator. This result contributes to the Cauchy problems in white noise (Gaussian) space.Work supported by Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung and Japan Society for Promotion of Sciences     

A spectral mapping theorem for scalar-type spectral operators in locally convex spaces

LetT be a continuous scalar-type spectral operator defined on a quasi-complete locally convex spaceX, that is,T=fdP whereP is an equicontinuous spectral measure inX andf is aP-integrable function. It is shown that (T) is precisely the closedP-essential range of the functionf or equivalently, that (T) is equal to the support of the (unique) equicontinuous spectral measureQ ^* defined on the Borel sets of the extended complex plane ^* such thatQ ^*({})=0 andT=zdQ _*(z). This result is then used to prove a spectral mapping theorem; namely, thatg((T))=(g(T)) for anyQ ^*-integrable functiong: ^{* *} which is continuous on (T). This is an improvement on previous results of this type since it covers the case wheng((T))/{} is an unbounded set in a phenomenon which occurs often for continuous operatorsT defined in non-normable spacesX.     

Arithmetic of the Modular Function j1,8

Since the genus of the modular curve X_1 (8) = _1 (8) * is zero, we find a field generator j _1,8(z) = ₃(2z)/₃(4z) (₃(z) := _n ein ^2z ) such that the function field over X ₁(8) is (j _1,8). We apply this modular function j _1,8 to the construction of some class fields over an imaginary quadratic field K, and compute the minimal polynomial of the singular value of the Hauptmodul N(j _1,8) of (j _1,8).     

A geometrical interpretation of the shape invariant for geodesic triangles in complex projective spaces

We show that the shape invariant of a triangle in the complex projective space P ⁿ , see [B], can be obtained by integrating the Kählerian form of P ⁿ over a domain parametrized by geodesics and bounded by a geodesic loop formed with sides of the triangle.The second author was supported by a grant from INDAM-Rome.

The general Stone-Weierstrass problem and extremal completely positive maps

Let A be a C*-algebra with identity e and let B be a C*-subalgebra of A that contains e. We show that if B separates the pure states of A, then, for each n, B also separates the set ECP(A,ⁿ;I) of extremal completely positive unital maps of A into ⁿ, thus giving another equivalent condition for the general Stone-Weierstrass conjecture for C*-algebras.     

On the Fredholm theory of Wiener-Hopf equations and the coupling method

The Fredholm properties of the Wiener-Hopf operator onL _p(⁺,^m) are investigated using the coupling method for solving operator equations. The theory applies to equations whose kernel is an element ofL ₁(,^mxm). As usual the determinant of the symbol is assumed to have no zeros on the real line. The method of analysis is independent of the realization theory for symbols that are analytic in a strip containing the real axis although in some sense closely related to it. The connection between the two methods is briefly analysed in the paper.

Integrable Many-Body Systems via the Inosemtsev Limit

The Inozemtsev limit (IL), or the scaling limit, is known as a procedure applied to the elliptic Calogero-Moser model. It is a combination of the trigonometric limit, infinite shifts of particle coordinates, and coupling-constant rescalings. This results in an interaction of the exponential type. We show that the IL applied to the sl(N,) elliptic Euler-Calogero-Moser model and to the elliptic Gaudin model produces new Toda-like systems of N interacting particles endowed with additional degrees of freedom corresponding to a coadjoint orbit of sl(n,). The limits corresponding to the complete degeneration of the orbital degrees of freedom lead to recovering only the known periodic and nonperiodic Toda systems. We classify the systems appearing in the IL in the sl(3,) case. This classification is represented on a two-dimensional plane of parameters describing infinite shifts of particle coordinates. This space is subdivided into symmetric domains. In this picture, a mixture of the Toda and trigonometric Calogero-Sutherland potentials emerges on lower-dimensional domain walls. Because of obvious symmetries, this classification can be generalized to an arbitrary number of particles. We also apply the IL to the sl(2,) elliptic Gaudin model on a two-punctured elliptic curve and discuss the main properties of its possible limits. The limits of Lax matrices are also considered.     

Linking Class of Lagrangian or Totally Real Embeddings

Given a totally real embedding j of the 2-torus into ², one defines a 1-class ₁ – its linking class – which is a tool to detect arcwise connected components of the space of totally real embeddings EmbTr( , ²). We generalize the construction of the linking class to any totally real embedding j of a connected, oriented, compact manifold without boundary M ⁿ into ⁿ. We obtain an (n – 1)-class _{n– 1} which is still an invariant for isotopy classes of totally real embeddings. We show that this class is nontrivial by computing it for some families of totally real embeddings. We then study the relationship between isotopy classes of ordinary embeddings and the linking class. With additional assumptions on M ⁿ (n 4 and M ⁿ parallelizable) we obtain the following: two totally real embeddings of M ⁿ into ⁿ which belong to the same isotopy class of totally real immersion, belong to the same isotopy class of ordinary embedding if and only if (1) their linking classes are the same (if n odd); (2) the images of their linking classes by the coefficient homomorphism : H ^{n– 1} (M ⁿ , ) H ^{n– 1} (M ⁿ , ₂) are the same (if n even).
