On a general principle in geometry that leads to functional equations

Summary Suppose that an invariant (or an invariant notion) of some geometry is given, like the distance between two points, the cross ratio of four points, the tangential distance between two spheres (or like the notion of orthogonality, of order, of a circle). One may ask what are the functions preserving (or preserving partially) that invariant (invariant notion). Originating from this principle some functional equation problems are formulated, namely the functional equations of distance, of area, of angle preservance.Dedicated to the memory of Alexander M. Ostrowski on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth.     

On differential-geometric structures on a manifold of nonholonomic (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> + 1)-web

We consider a nonholonomic (n + 1)-web NW on an n-dimensional manifold M, i.e., n + 1 distributions of codimension 1. We prove that there exists an invariant pencil of projective connections on M. To an ordered nonholonomic (n + 1)-web on M, there corresponds a unique curvilinear (n + 1)-web on M and vice versa. This correspondence is defined by the polarity with respect to a certain invariant multilinear n-form or the barycentric subdivision of some (n - 1)- dimensional simplex. In conclusion, we consider, as a special case, a nonholonomic (n + 1)-web ANW of hyperplanes in the affine space. A web ANW generates an invariant pencil of affine connections. We also study the case when these connections are projective.     

A Riemann hypothesis analogue for invariant rings

A Riemann hypothesis analogue for coding theory was introduced by I.M. Duursma [A Riemann hypothesis analogue for self-dual codes, in: A. Barg, S. Litsyn (Eds.), Codes and Association Schemes (Piscataway, NJ, 1999), American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2001, pp. 115-124]. In this paper, we extend zeta polynomials for linear codes to ones for invariant rings, and we investigate whether a Riemann hypothesis analogue holds for some concrete invariant rings. Also we shall show that there is some subring of an invariant ring such that the subring is not an invariant ring but extremal polynomials all satisfy the Riemann hypothesis analogue.     

On holomorphic immersions into K(a)hler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

We study holomorphic immersions f: X → M from a complex manifold X into a Kahler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature M, i.e. a complex hyperbolic space form, a complex Euclidean space form, or the complex projective space equipped with the Fubini-Study metric. For X compact we show that the tangent sequence splits holomorphically if and only if f is a totally geodesic immersion. For X not necessarily compact we relate an intrinsic cohomological invariant p(X) on X, viz. the invariant defined by Gunning measuring the obstruction to the existence of holomorphic projective connections, to an extrinsic cohomological invariant v(f)measuring the obstruction to the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence. The two invariants p(X) and v(f) are related by a linear map on cohomology groups induced by the second fundamental form.In some cases, especially when X is a complex surface and M is of complex dimension 4, under the assumption that X admits a holomorphic projective connection we obtain a sufficient condition for the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence in terms of the second fundamental form.     

Mean topological dimension

In this paper we present some results and applications of a new invariant for dynamical systems that can be viewed as a dynamical analogue of topological dimension. This invariant has been introduced by M. Gromov, and enables one to assign a meaningful quantity to dynamical systems of infinite topological dimension and entropy. We also develop an alternative approach that is metric dependent and is intimately related to topological entropy.     

Krein space representation and Lorentz groups of analytic Hilbert modules

This paper aims to introduce some new ideas into the study of submodules in Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. The effort is laid out in the Hardy space over the bidisk H~2(D~2). A closed subspace M in H~2(D~2) is called a submodule if ziM ? M(i = 1, 2). An associated integral operator(defect operator) CM captures much information about M. Using a Kre??n space indefinite metric on the range of CM, this paper gives a representation of M. Then it studies the group(called Lorentz group) of isometric self-maps of M with respect to the indefinite metric, and in finite rank case shows that the Lorentz group is a complete invariant for congruence relation. Furthermore, the Lorentz group contains an interesting abelian subgroup(called little Lorentz group) which turns out to be a finer invariant for M.     

Invariante Zwischenkörper endlicher Körpererweiterungen

Let KM be a finite field extension. An intermediate field L is called invariant if there is an affine algebraic K-group acting on M with L as its invariant field. The question, which intermediate fields are invariant, was studied by Bégueri [1] for purely inseparable extensions and by Sweedler [6] for arbitrary extensions, but only for a restricted class of groups. In this paper Bégueri's result is generalized to arbitrary field extensions. Additionally it is shown that one can check whether a given intermediate field is invariant or not by computing the rank of certain matrices. As an application we get a class of invariant intermediate fields.

Contact totally umbilical submanifolds of a sasakian space form

Summary We define a notion of contact totally umbilical submanifolds of Sasakian space forms corresponds to those of totally umbilical submanifolds of complex space forms. We study a contact totally umbilical submanifold M of a Sasakian space form (c ≠ −3) and prove that M is an invariant submanifold or an anti-invariant submanifold. Furthermore we study a submanifold M with parallel second fundamental form of a Sasakian space form (c ≠ 1) and prove that M is invariant or anti-invariant.

Group invariant Colombeau generalized functions

Colombeau generalized functions invariant under smooth (additive) one-parameter groups are characterized. This characterization is applied to generalized functions invariant under orthogonal groups of arbitrary signature, such as groups of rotations or the Lorentz group. Further, a one-dimensional Colombeau generalized function with two (real) periods is shown to be a generalized constant, when the ratio of the periods is an algebraic nonrational number. Finally, a nonstandard Colombeau generalized function invariant under standard translations is shown to be constant.

Sur des invariants galoisiens des revêtements ramifiésOn some Galois invariants of branched coverings

We obtain an invariant for branched coverings of surfaces using the regular covering associated to a given one. This invariant plays an equivalent role to the Arf invariant introduced by Protopopov in [3] for special types of coverings with odd branching indices. Our approach allows us to define other invariants for coverings with non-odd branching indices. To cite this article: A.F. Costa, A.M. Porto, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 899–902.     

Minimal coverings of manifolds with balls

For a closed manifold M, denote by C(M) the minimal number of balls which suffice to cover M. It is shown that C(M) coincides with the Ljusternik-Schnirelmann category cat M if the latter is not too low compared with the dimension of M. In this case it follows in particular that C(M) is an invariant of the homotopy type of M. One of the applications of this result is the following: Let M be a closed manifold of sufficiently high category. Then cat(M×S¹)=cat M+1. This is a partial affirmative answer to a long-standing conjecture.     

A global solution of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equation on the conformal space

The method used to construct the SU(2) Yang-Mills field on a compactified Minkowski space-M(which is equivalent to the conformal space) is generalized to construct an SU(N)(N > 2) Yang-Mills fieldFjκ on M. It is proved that both Fjκ and the invariant metric tensor gjκ of M satisfy the Einstein-Yang-Mills equation. The case of N →∞ is also discussed.

Automorphisms and a reduction theorem in a Sasakian space form E2m+1(−3)

Summary We construct definitely the automorphism group of a Sasakian space form ¯M=E ^2m+1 (–3) and study the existence of a totally geodesic invariant submanifold of ¯M tangent to a given invariant subspace in the tangent space of ¯M. We also study the Frenet curves in ¯M under a totally contact geodesic immersion of a contact CR-submanifold into ¯M. The purpose of this paper is to prove a reduction theorem of the codimension for a totally contact geodesic, contact CR-submanifold of ¯M.     

Symplectic twist maps without conjugate points

For sequences of symplectic twist maps without conjugate points, an invariant Lagrangian subbundle is constructed. This allows one to deduce that absence of conjugate points is a rare property in some classes of maps. This work was partially supported by EPSRC grant GR/M11349.     

Tail invariant measures of the Dyck shift

We show that the one-sided Dyck shift has a unique tail invariant topologically σ-finite measure (up to scaling). This invariant measure of the one sided Dyck turns out to be a shift-invariant probability. Furthermore, it is one of the two ergodic probabilities obtaining maximal entropy. For the two sided Dyck shift we show that there are exactly three ergodic double-tail invariant probabilities. We show that the two sided Dyck has a double-tail invariant probability, which is also shift invariant, with entropy strictly less than the topological entropy.

Four-Dimensional Simply Connected Symplectic Symmetric Spaces

A symplectic is a symmetric space endowed with a symplectic structure which is invariant by the symmetries. We give here a classification of four-dimensional symplectic which are simply connected. This classification reveals a remarkable class of affine symmetric spaces with a non-Abelian solvable transvection group. The underlying manifold M of each element (M, ) belonging to this class is diffeomorphic to Rⁿwith the property that every tensor field on M invariant by the transvection group is constant; in particular, is not a metric connection. This classification also provides examples of nonflat affine symmetric connections on Rⁿwhich are invariant under the translations. By considering quotient spaces, one finds examples of locally affine symmetric tori which are not globally symmetric.
