On weighted cohomology

Consider an orientable manifold with countably many complete components of bounded dimension. Suppose that its rational homology is infinitely generated in some degree. Then there is no choice of weight function for which the natural map from weighted cohomology to de Rham cohomology is surjective in that degree.

A remark on the semi-classical measure from with a degenerate potential

This note is motivated by Evans (2004) and Anantharaman (2004). We study the semiclassical measure arising from the operator when the potential has degenerate minimum points. We will use the technique of integration by parts and some identities of Evans to derive information on the support of the measure.

     

A Monte Carlo algorithm for weighted integration over

We present and analyze a new randomized algorithm for numerical computation of weighted integrals over the unbounded domain . The algorithm and its desirable theoretical properties are derived based on certain stochastic assumptions about the integrands. It is easy to implement, enjoys convergence rate, and uses only standard random number generators. Numerical results are also included.

A linear mapping from a subspace of a Banach algebra into another Banach algebra is called spectrally bounded if there is a constant such that for all , where denotes the spectral radius. We prove that every spectrally bounded unital operator from a unital purely infinite simple -algebra onto a unital semisimple Banach algebra is a Jordan epimorphism.

     

Weighted estimates in for Laplace's equation on Lipschitz domains

Let , , be a bounded Lipschitz domain. For Laplace's equation in , we study the Dirichlet and Neumann problems with boundary data in the weighted space , where , is a fixed point on , and denotes the surface measure on . We prove that there exists such that the Dirichlet problem is uniquely solvable if , and the Neumann problem is uniquely solvable if . If is a domain, one may take . The regularity for the Dirichlet problem with data in the weighted Sobolev space is also considered. Finally we establish the weighted estimates with general weights for the Dirichlet and regularity problems.

Semifree symplectic circle actions on -orbifolds

A theorem of Tolman and Weitsman states that all symplectic semifree circle actions with isolated fixed points on compact symplectic manifolds must be Hamiltonian and have the same equivariant cohomology and Chern classes of equipped with the standard diagonal circle action. In this paper, we show that the situation is much different when we consider compact symplectic orbifolds. Focusing on -orbifolds with isolated cone singularities, we show that such actions, besides being Hamiltonian, can now be obtained from either or a weighted projective space, or a quotient of one of these spaces by a finite cyclic group, by a sequence of special weighted blow-ups at fixed points. In particular, they can have any number of fixed points.

     

A unified approach to improved Hardy inequalities with best constants

We present a unified approach to improved Hardy inequalities in . We consider Hardy potentials that involve either the distance from a point, or the distance from the boundary, or even the intermediate case where the distance is taken from a surface of codimension . In our main result, we add to the right hand side of the classical Hardy inequality a weighted norm with optimal weight and best constant. We also prove nonhomogeneous improved Hardy inequalities, where the right hand side involves weighted norms, .

We show partial regularity of bounded positive solutions of some semilinear elliptic equations in domains of . As a consequence, there exists a large variety of nonnegative singular solutions to these equations. These equations have previously been studied from the point of view of free boundary problems, where solutions additionally are stable for a variational problem, which we do not assume.

Form estimates for the -Laplacean

We consider the problem of establishing conditions on that ensure that the form associated with the -Laplacean is positive bounded below. It was shown recently by Fan, Zhang and Zhao that - unlike the constant case - this is not possible if has a strict extrema in the domain. They also considered the closely related problem of eigenvalue existence and estimates. Our main tool is the adaptation of a technique, employed by Protter for involving arbitrary vector fields. We also examine related results obtained by a variant of Picone Identity arguments. We directly consider problems in with and while we focus on Dirichlet boundary conditions we also indicate how our approach can be used in cases of mixed boundary conditions, of unbounded domains and of discontinuous Our basic criteria involve restrictions on and its gradient.
