q-Difference intertwining operators and q-conformal invariant equations

We first recall a canonical procedure for the construction of the invariant differential operators and equations for arbitrary complex or real noncompact semisimple Lie groups. Then we present the application of this procedure to the case of quantum groups. In detail is given the construction of representations of the quantum algebra U _q (sl(n)) labelled by n–1 complex numbers and acting in the spaces of functions of n(n–1)/2 noncommuting variables, which generate a q-deformed SL(4) flag manifold. The conditions for reducibility of these representations and the procedure for the construction of the q-difference intertwining operators are given. Using these results for the case n=4 we propose infinite hierarchies of q-difference equations which are q-conformal invariant. The lowest member of one of these hierarchies are new q-Maxwell equations. We propose also new q-Minkowski spacetime which is part of a q-deformed SU(2,2) flag manifold.     

A Family of Irreducible Representations of the Witt Lie Algebra with Infinite-Dimensional Weight Spaces

We define a 4-parameter family of generically irreducible and inequivalent representations of the Witt Lie algebra on which the infinitesimal rotation operator acts semisimply with infinite-dimensional eigenspaces. They are deformations of the (generically indecomposable) representations on spaces of polynomial differential operators between two spaces of tensor densities on S ¹, which are constructed by composing each such differential operator with the action of a rotation by a fixed angle.     

Comparison of some modules of the Lie algebra of vector fields

The Lie algebra of vector fields of a smooth manifold M acts by Lie derivatives on the space of differential operators of order ≤ p on the fields of densities of degree k of M. If dim M ≥ 2 and p ≥ 3, the dimension of the space of linear equivariant maps from into is shown to be 0, 1 or 2 according to whether (k, l) belongs to 0, 1 or 2 of the lines of ² of equations k = 0,k = − 1, k = l and k + l + 1 = 0. This answers a question of C. Duval and V. Ovsienko who have determined these spaces for p ≤ 2[2].     

A class of nilpotent lie algebras

A p-filiform Lie algebra g is a nilpotent Lie algebra for which Goze’s invariant is (n–p,1,…,1). These Lie algebras are well known for P ≥ n-4n = dim(g). In this paper we describe the p-filiform Lie algebras, for p = n-5 and we gjive their classification when the derived subalgebra is maximal.     

Unitary Spaces on Clifford Algebras

For the complex Clifford algebra (p, q) of dimension n = p + q we define a Hermitian scalar product. This scalar product depends on the signature (p, q) of Clifford algebra. So, we arrive at unitary spaces on Clifford algebras. With the aid of Hermitian idempotents we suggest a new construction of, so called, normal matrix representations of Clifford algebra elements. These representations take into account the structure of unitary space on Clifford algebra. The work of N.M. is supported in part by the Russian President’s grant NSh-6705.2006.1.     

Weighted Composition Operators between Different Hardy Spaces

Let and be two analytic functions defined on such that. The operator given by is called a weighted composition operator. In this paper we deal with the boundedness, compactness, weak compactness, and complete continuity of weighted composition operators from a Hardy space H _p into another Hardy space H _q . We apply these results to study composition operators on Hardy spaces of a half-plane. Submitted: November 20, 2001.     

Conformally Invariant Operators,Differential Forms,Cohomology and a Generalisation of Q-Curvature

On conformal manifolds of even dimension n ≥ 4 we construct a family of new conformally invariant differential complexes, each containing one coboundary operator of order greater than 1. Each bundle in each of these complexes appears either in the de Rham complex or in its dual (which is a different complex in the non-orientable case). Each of the new complexes is elliptic in case the conformal structure has Riemannian signature. We also construct gauge companion operators which (for differential forms of order k ≤ n/2) complete the exterior derivative to a conformally invariant and (in the case of Riemannian signature) elliptically coercive system. These (operator, gauge) pairs are used to define finite dimensional conformally stable form subspaces which are are candidates for spaces of conformal harmonics. This generalizes the n/2-form and 0-form cases, in which the harmonics are given by conformally invariant systems. These constructions are based on a family of operators on closed forms which generalize in a natural way Branson's Q-curvature. We give a universal construction of these new operators and show that they yield new conformally invariant global pairings between differential form bundles. Finally we give a geometric construction of a family of conformally invariant differential operators between density-valued differential form bundles and develop their properties (including their ellipticity type in the case of definite conformal signature). The construction is based on the ambient metric of Fefferman and Graham, and its relationship to the tractor bundles for the Cartan normal conformal connection. For each form order, our derivation yields an operator of every even order in odd dimensions, and even order operators up to order n in even dimension n. In the case of unweighted (or true) forms as domain, these operators are the natural form analogues of the critical order conformal Laplacian of Graham et al., and are key ingredients in the new differential complexes mentioned above.     

A Remark About the Lie Algebra of Infinitesimal Conformal Transformations of the Euclidean Space

Infinitesimal conformal transformations of Rⁿ are always polynomialand finitely generated when n > 2. Here we prove that theLie algebra of infinitesimal conformal polynomial transformationsover Rⁿ, n 2, is maximal in the Lie algebra of polynomial vectorfields. When n is greater than 2 and p, q are such that p +q = n, this implies the maximality of an embedding of so(p +1, q + 1, R) into polynomial vector fields that was revisitedin recent works about equivariant quantizations. It also refinesa similar but weaker theorem by V. I. Ogievetsky. 1991 MathematicsSubject Classification 17B66, 53A30.     

A class of linear positive operators in weighted spaces

In this paper, we introduce a class of linear positive operators based on q-integers. For these operators we give some convergence properties in weighted spaces of continuous functions and present an application to differential equation related to q-derivatives. Furthermore, we give a Stancu-type remainder.     

Classification projective des espaces d’opérateurs différentiels agissant sur les densités

One classifies the representation D_λμ of sl(m + 1, R) obtained by letting its projective embedding in the Lie algebra of vector fields of R^m, m > 1, act by Lie derivatives on the space of differential operators between densities of weight λ and μ. For each μ - λ, there is only finitely many isomorphism classes, most frequently one, in which case D_λμ is isomorphic to its graded space relative to the order of differentiation.     

On boundary value problems for some conformally invariant differential operators

We study boundary value problems for some differential operators on Euclidean space and the Heisenberg group which are invariant under the conformal group of a Euclidean subspace, respectively, Heisenberg subgroup. These operators are shown to be self-adjoint in certain Sobolev type spaces and the related boundary value problems are proven to have unique solutions in these spaces. We further find the corresponding Poisson transforms explicitly in terms of their integral kernels and show that they are isometric between Sobolev spaces and extend to bounded operators between certain L^p-spaces.

The conformal invariance of the differential operators allows us to apply unitary representation theory of reductive Lie groups, in particular recently developed methods for restriction problems.     

A maple® package for the calculus of variations based on jet manifolds

This contribution presents a computer algebra package for Lagrangian systems with p???1 independent and q???1 dependent variables. The Lagrangian may depend on the partial derivatives up to the order n???0 of the dependent variables with respect to the independent ones. In the case of one independent variable, p?=?1, the package derives the equations of motion in the form of a system of q ordinary differential equations of order 2n, for p?>?1 the result is a system of q partial differential equation up to the order 2n. In addition the package determines all the required boundary conditions in the case of p???3 and n???2. Since the presented method uses the concept of jet manifolds, a short introduction to the notation of jet theory is provided. Two examples — the Timoshenko beam and the Kirchhoff plate — demonstrate the main features of the presented computer algebra based approach.

ℤ/2ℤ Invariants of the free fermion algebra

By using quantum vertex operators we study the invariance of the rank n free-fermion vertex algebra under the action of the group ?∕2? and obtain its minimal generating set. When n = 1, it is well known that this subalgebra is isomorphic to the Virasoro vertex algebra with central charge 1∕2. In the n = 2 case we show that invariant subalgebra is isomorphic to a simple quotient of a certain W-algebra, which we explicitly construct. For n≥3, our approach leads to a rediscovery of the spinor representation of the a?ne vertex algebra associated to the Lie algebra 𝔰𝔬(n) of I. Frenkel.     

Integration of the lifting formulas and the cyclic homology of the algebras of differential operators

We integrate the Lifting cocycles Y_2n+1, Y_2n+3, Y_2n+5,? ([Sh1,2]) \Psi_{2n+1}, \Psi_{2n+3}, \Psi_{2n+5},\ldots\,([\rm Sh1,2]) on the Lie algebra Dif_n of holomorphic differential operators on an n-dimensional complex vector space to the cocycles on the Lie algebra of holomorphic differential operators on a holomorphic line bundle l \lambda on an n-dimensional complex manifold M in the sense of Gelfand--Fuks cohomology [GF] (more precisely, we integrate the cocycles on the sheaves of the Lie algebras of finite matrices over the corresponding associative algebras). The main result is the following explicit form of the Feigin--Tsygan theorem [FT1]:¶¶ H^·_Lie(\frak g\frak l^fin_￥(Dif_n);\Bbb C) = ù^·(Y_2n+1, Y_2n+3, Y_2n+5,? ) H^\bullet_{\rm Lie}({\frak g}{\frak l}^{\rm fin}_\infty({\rm Dif}_n);{\Bbb C}) = \wedge^\bullet(\Psi_{2n+1}, \Psi_{2n+3}, \Psi_{2n+5},\ldots\,) .     

A Two-Parameter Quantum (2+1)-Superspace and its Deformed Derivation Algebra as Hopf Superalgebra

As is well known, a Hopf algebra setting is an efficient tool to study some geometric structures such as the Maurer-Cartan invariant forms and the corresponding vector fields on a noncommutative space. In this study we introduce a two-parameter quantum (2+1)-superspace with a Hopf superalgebra structure.We also define some derivation operators acting on this quantum superspace, and we show that the algebra of these derivations is a Hopf superalgebra. Furthermore it will be shown how the derivation operators lead to a bicovariant differential calculus on the two- parameter quantum (2+1)-superspace. In conclusion, based on the bicovariant differential calculus, the Maurer-Cartan right invariant differential forms and the corresponding quantum Lie superalgebra are given.     

Total Rarita-Schwinger operators in Clifford analysis

Rarita-Schwinger operators in Clifford analysis can be realized as first-order differential operators acting on functions f(x, u) taking values in the vector space of homogeneous monogenic polynomials. In this paper, the Scasimir operator for the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra will be used to construct an invariant operator which acts on the full space of functions in two vector variables and therefore has more invariance properties. Also the fundamental solution for this operator will be constructed.     

Invariance of the order and type of a sequence of operators

In the paper, the invariance property of characteristics (the order and type) of an operator and of a sequence of operators with respect to a topological isomorphism is proved. These characteristics give precise upper and lower bounds for the expressions ‖A_n(x)‖_p and enable one to state and solve problems of operator theory in locally convex spaces in a general setting. Examples of such problems are given by the completeness problem for the set of values of a vector function in a locally convex space, the structure problem for a subspace invariant with respect to an operator A, the problem of applicability of an operator series to a locally convex space, the theory of holomorphic operator-valued functions, the theory of operator and differential-operator equations in nonnormed spaces, and so on. However, the immediate evaluation of characteristics of operators (and of sequences of operators) directly by definition is practically unrealizable in spaces with more complicated structure than that of countably normed spaces, due to the absence of an explicit form of seminorms or to their complicated structure. The approach that we use enables us to find characteristics of operators and sequences of operators using the passage to the dual space, by-passing the definition, and makes it possible to obtain bounds for the expressions ‖A_n(x)‖_p even if an explicit form of seminorms is unknown.     

Non-standard commutators for rough oscillatory singular integrals

In this paper, the author studies a class of non-standard commutators with higher order remainders for oscillatory singular integral operators with phases more general than polynomials. For 1 < p < ∞, the L ^p -boundedness of such operators are obtained provided that their kernels belong to the spaces L ^q (S ⁿ⁻¹) for some q > 1.     

Vertex-algebraic structure of the principal subspaces of level one modules for the untwisted affine Lie algebras of types A,D,E

Generalizing some of our earlier work, we prove natural presentations of the principal subspaces of the level one standard modules for the untwisted affine Lie algebras of types A, D and E, and also of certain related spaces. As a consequence, we obtain a canonical complete set of recursions (q-difference equations) for the (multi-)graded dimensions of these spaces, and we derive their graded dimensions. Our methods are based on intertwining operators in vertex operator algebra theory.
