Equilibrium triangulations of the complex projective plane

Starting with the well-known 7-vertex triangulation of the ordinary torus, we construct a 10-vertex triangulation of P² which fits the equilibrium decomposition of P² in the simplest possible way. By suitable positioning of the vertices, the full automorphism group of order 42 is realized by a discrete group of isometries in the Fubini-Study metric. A slight subdivision leads to an elementary proof of the theorem of Kuiper-Massey which says that P² modulo conjugation is PL homeomorphic to the standard 4-sphere. The branch locus of this identification is a 7-vertex triangulation P ₂ ⁷ of the real projective plane. We also determine all tight simplicial embeddings of P ₂ ¹⁰ and P ₂ ⁷ .     

Embedding a non-embeddable stable plane

In [4], K. Strambach describes a 2-dimensional stable plane admitting =SL₂ as a group of automorphisms such that there exists no -equivarient embedding into a 2-dimensional projective plane. R. Löwen [3] has given a 4-dimensional analogue , admitting =SL₂. He posed the question whether there are embeddings of Strambach's plane into . We show that such embeddings exist, in fact we determine all -equivariant embeddings of 2-dimensional stable planes admitting as atransitive group of automorphisms.     

Multiplication operator on a matrix polynomial

It is proved that the study of a perturbed multiplication operator on a matrix polynomial in the space L₂(, ⁿ) may be reduced to the study of a perturbed multiplication operator with independent variable in the space L₂(, , ^N) with weight satisfying the Mackenhaupt condition.Translated from Ukrayins'kyy Matemarychnyy Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 9, pp. 1287–1289, September, 1992.     

Willmore Surfaces of ?4 and the Whitney Sphere

We make a contribution to the study of Willmore surfaces infour-dimensional Euclidean space ⁴ by making useof the identification of ⁴ with two-dimensionalcomplex Euclidean space ². We prove that theWhitney sphere is the only Willmore Lagrangian surface of genus zero in⁴ and establish some existence and uniquenessresults about Willmore Lagrangian tori in ^{4 2}.     

Ordinary and strong density continuity of complex analytic functions

In the paper we prove that the complex analytic functions are (ordinarily) density continuous. This stays in contrast with the fact that even such a simple function asG:²²,G(x,y)=(x,y ³ ), is not density continuous [1]. We will also characterize those analytic functions which are strongly density continuous at the given pointa . From this we conclude that a complex analytic functionf is strongly density continuous if and only iff(z)=a+bz, wherea, b andb is either real or imaginary.     

Three algebraic structures of quantum projective [sl(2, C)-invariant] field theory

Systematic studies are made of three algebraic structures of quantum projective [sl(2, )-invariant] field theory: the operator algebra Vert(sl(2, )), the infinite-dimensionalR matrixR _proj(u), and the deformationT () of the algebraT() of weighted-shift operators, which is associated with expansion of the renormalized pointwise product of vertex operator fields.State Geological and Prospecting Academy, Moscow; Department of Mathematics in the Research Institute of System Investigations (Information Technologies), Russian Academy of Sciences.

Complex Hyperbolic Quasi-Fuchsian Groups and Toledo's Invariant

We consider discrete, faithful, type-preserving representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into PU(21), the holomorphic isometry group of complex hyperbolic space. Our main result is that there is a continuous family of such representations which interpolates between -Fuchsian representations and -Fuchsian representations. Moreover, these representations take every possible (real) value of the Toledo invariant. This contrasts with the case of closed surfaces where -Fuchsian and -Fuchsian representations lie in different components of the representation variety. In that case the Toledo invariant lies in a discrete set and indexes the components of the representation variety.     

Surjectivity of quotient maps for algebraic (ℂ,+)-actions and polynomial maps with contractible fibers

In this paper we establish two results concerning algebraic (,+)-actions on ⁿ . First, let be an algebraic (,+)-action on ³. By a result of Miyanishi, its ring of invariants is isomorphic to [t ₁,t ₂]. Iff ₁,f ₂ generate this ring, the quotient map of is the mapF:³²,x(f ₁(x), f₂(x)). By using some topological arguments we prove thatF is always surjective. Secon, we are interested in dominant polynomial mapsF: ^{n n-1} whose connected components of their generic fibers are contractible. For such maps, we prove the existence of an algebraic (,+)-action on ⁿ for whichF is invariant. Moreover we give some conditions so thatF*([t ₁,...,t _n-1 ]) is the ring of invariants of .Dedicated to all my friends and my family     

Vektorwertige Distributionen als Randverteilungen holomorpher Funktionen

This paper is concerned with the problem, for which locally convex spaces E every E-valued distribution on is representable by the boundary values of an E-valued holomorphic function on /, resp. for which spaces is solvable in C(²,E). This is known in the case of (F)-spaces. A complete solution is given in the case of (DF)-spaces. The class of (DF)-spaces, we obtain, turns out to be interesting in a much wider context. This will be contained in a forthcoming paper.     

Entire functions of exponential type and model subspaces in HP

Let W ^p be the space of entire fonctions in of exponential type , whose restrictions to the real line belong to L^p(). For an inner function in the upper half- plane ₊ we denote by K ^p (p 1) the invariant subspace of the inverse shift operator (the model subspace) in H^p, generated by the function K ^p =H^p , where H^p=H^p(₊) is the Hardy class. In the paper it is shown that many known properties of the spaces W ^p (some imbedding and uniqueness theorems, the Logvinenko-Sereda theorem on equivalent norms, S. N. Bernshtein's differential inequality) remain valid for the spaces K ^p if and only if the derivative is bounded. The classical results for entire functions are obtained for (x)= e^ix.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Let G be a finite subgroup of GL_n() acting naturally on an affine space ⁿ. In this note we will determine G such that the quotient variety ⁿ/G is a complete intersection. For n=2 and 3, such a group G was classified in [13, 24, 32].     

Convergence of an upstream finite volume scheme for a nonlinear hyperbolic equation on a triangular mesh

Summary We study here the discretisation of the nonlinear hyperbolic equationu _t +div(vf(u))=0 in ³ × ₊, with given initial conditionu(.,0)=u ₀(.) in ², wherev is a function from ² × ₊ to ² such that divv=0 andf is a given nondecreasing function from to . An explicit Euler scheme is used for the time discretisation of the equation, and a triangular mesh for the spatial discretisation. Under a usual stability condition, we prove the convergence of the solution given by an upstream finite volume scheme towards the unique entropy weak solution to the equation.

Polynomially convex orbits of compact lie groups

LetV be a finite dimensional complex linear space and letG be a compact subgroup of GL(V). We prove that an orbitG, V, is polynomially convex if and only ifG is closed andG is the real form ofG . For every orbitG which is not polynomially convex we construct an analytic annulus or strip inG with the boundary inG. It is also proved that the group of holomorphic automorphisms ofG which commute withG acts transitively on the set of polynomially convexG-orbits. Further, an analog of the Kempf-Ness criterion is obtained and homogeneous spaces of compact Lie groups which admit only polynomially convex equivariant embeddings are characterized.Supported by Federal program Integratsiya, no. 586.Supported by INTAS grant 97/10170.     

On the Ordered K0‐Group of Universal, Free Product C*‐Algebras

The ordered K₀-group of the universal, unital free product C^*-algebra M_k()*M_l()is calculated in the case where k is prime and not a divisor in l. It is shown that the positive cone of K₀(M_k()*M_l())is as small as possible in this case. The article also contains results (full and partial) on the ordered K₀0-group of more general universal, unital free product C^* algebras.     

Finely holomorphic functions and quasi-analytic classes

We study the set of functions in quasi-analytic classes and the set of finely holomorphic functions. We show that no one of these two sets is contained in the other.LetI denote the set of complex functionsf: for which there exists a quasi-analytic classC{M _n} containingf. Let denote the set of complex functionsf: for which there exist a fine domainU containing the real line and a function finely holomorphic onU satisfyingf(x)= (x) for allx . The power of unique continuation is incomparable in these two cases (I\ is non-empty, \I is non-empty).Research supported by the grant No. 201/93/2174 of Czech Grant Agency and by the grant No. 354 of Charles University.
