Determinantal representations of the generalized inverses A_{T,S}^{(2)} over the quaternion skew field with applications

We first present some determinantal representations of one {1,5}-inverse of a quaternion matrix within the framework of a theory of the row and column determinants. As applications, we show some new explicit expressions of generalized inverses $A_{r_{T_{1}, S_{1}}}^{( 2)}$ , $A_{l_{T_{2},S_{2}}}^{(2)}$ and $A_{_{( T_{1},T_{2}) , ( S_{1},S_{2}) }}^{( 2) }$ over the quaternion skew field. Finally, we give the representations of the unique solution to some restricted left and right systems of quaternionic linear equations. The findings of this paper extend some known results in the literature.     

Order Bounded Weighted Composition Operators Mapping into the Bergman Space

We will investigate the order boundedness of weighted composition operators ${uC_{\varphi}}$ from weighted Bergman spaces ${L_{a}^p(dA_{\alpha})}$ , weighted-type spaces ${H_{\alpha}^{\infty}}$ or Bloch-type spaces ${\mathcal{B}_{\alpha}}$ into the space ${L_{a}^q(dA_{\beta})}$ .     

Scaling relationship between the copositive cone and Parrilo’s first level approximation

We investigate the relation between the cone ${\mathcal{C}^{n}}$ of n × n copositive matrices and the approximating cone ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{1}}$ introduced by Parrilo. While these cones are known to be equal for n ≤ 4, we show that for n ≥ 5 they are not equal. This result is based on the fact that ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{1}}$ is not invariant under diagonal scaling. We show that for any copositive matrix which is not the sum of a nonnegative and a positive semidefinite matrix we can find a scaling which is not in ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{1}}$ . In fact, we show that if all scaled versions of a matrix are contained in ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{r}}$ for some fixed r, then the matrix must be in ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{0}}$ . For the 5 × 5 case, we show the more surprising result that we can scale any copositive matrix X into ${\mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ and in fact that any scaling D such that ${(DXD)_{ii} \in \{0,1\}}$ for all i yields ${DXD \in \mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ . From this we are able to use the cone ${\mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ to check if any order 5 matrix is copositive. Another consequence of this is a complete characterisation of ${\mathcal{C}^{5}}$ in terms of ${\mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ . We end the paper by formulating several conjectures.     

Explicit Matrix Realization of Clifford Algebras

In this paper, we construct associative subalgebras ${{L_{2}}{n}(\mathbb{R})}$ of the real ${2^{n} \times 2^{n}}$ matrix algebra ${{M_{2}}{n}(\mathbb{R})}$ , which is isomorphic to the real Clifford algebra ${C \ell_{0},n}$ for every ${n \in N}$ .     

Asymptotics for the stationary distribution in a discrete-time two-dimensional quasi-birth-and-death process

We consider a discrete-time two-dimensional process $\{(L_{n}^{(1)},L_{n}^{(2)})\}$ on $\mathbb{Z}_{+}^{2}$ with a background process {J _n } on a finite set, where individual processes $\{L_{n}^{(1)}\}$ and $\{L_{n}^{(2)}\}$ are both skip free. We assume that the joint process $\{Y_{n}\}=\{(L_{n}^{(1)},L_{n}^{(2)},J_{n})\}$ is Markovian and that the transition probabilities of the two-dimensional process $\{(L_{n}^{(1)},L_{n}^{(2)})\}$ are modulated depending on the state of the background process {J _n }. This modulation is space homogeneous, but the transition probabilities in the inside of $\mathbb{Z}_{+}^{2}$ and those around the boundary faces may be different. We call this process a discrete-time two-dimensional quasi-birth-and-death (2D-QBD) process, and obtain the decay rates of the stationary distribution in the coordinate directions. We also distinguish the case where the stationary distribution asymptotically decays in the exact geometric form, in the coordinate directions.     

Howe correspondence and Springer correspondence for real reductive dual pairs

We consider a real reductive dual pair (G′, G) of type I, with rank ${({\rm G}^{\prime}) \leq {\rm rank(G)}}$ . Given a nilpotent coadjoint orbit ${\mathcal{O}^{\prime} \subseteq \mathfrak{g}^{{\prime}{*}}}$ , let ${\mathcal{O}^{\prime}_\mathbb{C} \subseteq \mathfrak{g}^{{\prime}{*}}_\mathbb{C}}$ denote the complex orbit containing ${\mathcal{O}^{\prime}}$ . Under some condition on the partition λ′ parametrizing ${\mathcal{O}^{\prime}}$ , we prove that, if λ is the partition obtained from λ by adding a column on the very left, and ${\mathcal{O}}$ is the nilpotent coadjoint orbit parametrized by λ, then ${\mathcal{O}_\mathbb{C}= \tau (\tau^{\prime -1}(\mathcal{O}_\mathbb{C}^{\prime}))}$ , where ${\tau, \tau^{\prime}}$ are the moment maps. Moreover, if ${chc(\hat\mu_{\mathcal{O}^{\prime}}) \neq 0}$ , where chc is the infinitesimal version of the Cauchy-Harish-Chandra integral, then the Weyl group representation attached by Wallach to ${\mu_{\mathcal{O}^{\prime}}}$ with corresponds to ${\mathcal{O}_\mathbb{C}}$ via the Springer correspondence.     

Stability of contact discontinuity for steady Euler system in infinite duct

In this paper, we prove stability of contact discontinuities for full Euler system. We fix a flat duct ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ of infinite length in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ with width W ₀ and consider two uniform subsonic flow ${{U_l}^{\pm}=(u_l^{\pm}, 0, pl,\rho_l^{\pm})}$ with different horizontal velocity in ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ divided by a flat contact discontinuity ${\Gamma_{cd}}$ . And, we slightly perturb the boundary of ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ so that the width of the perturbed duct converges to ${W_0+\omega}$ for ${|\omega| < \delta}$ at ${x=\infty}$ for some ${\delta >0 }$ . Then, we prove that if the asymptotic state at left far field is given by ${{U_l}^{\pm}}$ , and if the perturbation of boundary of ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ and ${\delta}$ is sufficiently small, then there exists unique asymptotic state ${{U_r}^{\pm}}$ with a flat contact discontinuity ${\Gamma_{cd}^*}$ at right far field( ${x=\infty}$ ) and unique weak solution ${U}$ of the Euler system so that U consists of two subsonic flow with a contact discontinuity in between, and that U converges to ${{U_l}^{\pm}}$ and ${{U_r}^{\pm}}$ at ${x=-\infty}$ and ${x=\infty}$ respectively. For that purpose, we establish piecewise C ¹ estimate across a contact discontinuity of a weak solution to Euler system depending on the perturbation of ${\partial\mathcal{N}_0}$ and ${\delta}$ .     

Boundary Values of Harmonic Functions in Spaces of Triebel–Lizorkin Type

Triebel (J Approx Theory 35:275–297, 1982; 52:162–203, 1988) investigated the boundary values of the harmonic functions in spaces of the Triebel–Lizorkin type ${\mathcal F^{\alpha,q}_{p}}$ on ${\mathbb{R}^{n+1}_+}$ by finding an characterization of the homogeneous Triebel–Lizorkin space ${{\bf \dot{F}}^{\alpha,q}_p}$ via its harmonic extension, where ${0 < p < \infty, 0 < q \leq \infty}$ , and ${\alpha < {\rm min}\{-n/p, -n/q\}}$ . In this article, we extend Triebel’s result to α < 0 and ${0 < p, q \leq \infty}$ by using a discrete version of reproducing formula and discretizing the norms in both ${\mathcal{F}^{\alpha,q}_{p}}$ and ${{\bf{\dot{F}}}^{\alpha,q}_p}$ . Furthermore, for α < 0 and ${1 < p,q \leq \infty}$ , the mapping from harmonic functions in ${\mathcal{F}^{\alpha,q}_{p}}$ to their boundary values forms a topological isomorphism between ${\mathcal{F}^{\alpha,q}_{p}}$ and ${{\bf \dot{F}}^{\alpha,q}_p}$ .     

Conservative fragments of {{S}^{1}_{2}} and {{R}^{1}_{2}}

Conservative subtheories of ${{R}^{1}_{2}}$ and ${{S}^{1}_{2}}$ are presented. For ${{S}^{1}_{2}}$ , a slight tightening of Je?ábek??s result (Math Logic Q 52(6):613?C624, 2006) that ${T^{0}_{2} \preceq_{\forall \Sigma^{b}_{1}}S^{1}_{2}}$ is presented: It is shown that ${T^{0}_{2}}$ can be axiomatised as BASIC together with induction on sharply bounded formulas of one alternation. Within this ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -theory, we define a ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -theory, ${T^{-1}_{2}}$ , for the ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -consequences of ${S^{1}_{2}}$ . We show ${T^{-1}_{2}}$ is weak by showing it cannot ${\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -define division by 3. We then consider what would be the analogous ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative subtheory of ${R^{1}_{2}}$ based on Pollett (Ann Pure Appl Logic 100:189?C245, 1999. It is shown that this theory, ${{T}^{0,\left\{2^{(||\dot{id}||)}\right\}}_{2}}$ , also cannot ${\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -define division by 3. On the other hand, we show that ${{S}^{0}_{2}+open_{\{||id||\}}}$ -COMP is a ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative subtheory of ${R^{1}_{2}}$ . Finally, we give a refinement of Johannsen and Pollett (Logic Colloquium?? 98, 262?C279, 2000) and show that ${\hat{C}^{0}_{2}}$ is ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative over a theory based on open _cl-comprehension.     

Euclidean hypersurfaces with genuine deformations in codimension two

We classify hypersurfaces of rank two of Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}$ that admit genuine isometric deformations in ${\mathbb{R}^{n+2}}$ . That an isometric immersion ${\hat{f}\colon M^n \to \mathbb{R}^{n+2}}$ is a genuine isometric deformation of a hypersurface ${f\colon M^n\to\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}$ means that ${\hat f}$ is nowhere a composition ${\hat f=\hat F\circ f}$ , where ${\hat{F} \colon V\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1} \to\mathbb{R}^{n+2}}$ is an isometric immersion of an open subset V containing the hypersurface.     

On the pullback of an arithmetic theta function

In this paper, we describe a relationship between the simplest examples of arithmetic theta series. The first of these are the weight 1 theta series ${\widehat{\phi}_{\mathcal C}(\tau)}$ defined using arithmetic 0-cycles on the moduli space ${\mathcal C}$ of elliptic curves with CM by the ring of integers ${O_{\kappa}}$ of an imaginary quadratic field. The second such series ${\widehat{\phi}_{\mathcal M}(\tau)}$ has weight 3/2 and takes values in the arithmetic Chow group ${\widehat{{\rm CH}}^1(\mathcal{M})}$ of the arithmetic surface associated to an indefinite quaternion algebra ${B/\mathbb{Q}}$ . For an embedding ${O_\kappa \rightarrow O_B}$ , a maximal order in B, and a two sided O _B -ideal Λ, there is a morphism ${j_\Lambda:{\mathcal C} \rightarrow {\mathcal M}}$ and a pullback ${j_\Lambda^*: \widehat{{\rm CH}}^1(\mathcal{M}) \rightarrow \widehat{{\rm CH}}^1(\mathcal C)}$ . Our main result is an expression for the pullback ${j^*_\Lambda \widehat{\phi}_{\mathcal M}(\tau)}$ as a linear combination of products of ${\widehat{\phi}_{\mathcal C}(\tau)}$ ’s and classical weight ${\frac{1}{2}}$ theta series.     

Harmonic mappings and conformal minimal immersions of Riemann surfaces into {\mathbb {R}^{\rm N}}

We prove that for any open Riemann surface ${\mathcal{N}}$ , natural number N ≥ 3, non-constant harmonic map ${h:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}}$ ^N?2 and holomorphic 2-form ${\mathfrak{H}}$ on ${\mathcal{N}}$ , there exists a weakly complete harmonic map ${X=(X_j)_{j=1,\ldots,{\sc N}}:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}^{\sc N}}$ with Hopf differential ${\mathfrak{H}}$ and ${(X_j)_{j=3,\ldots,{\sc N}}=h.}$ In particular, there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion ${Y=(Y_j)_{j=1,\ldots,{\sc N}}:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}^{\sc N}}$ such that ${(Y_j)_{j=3,\ldots,{\sc N}}=h}$ . As some consequences of these results (1) there exist complete full non-decomposable minimal surfaces with arbitrary conformal structure and whose generalized Gauss map is non-degenerate and fails to intersect N hyperplanes of ${\mathbb{CP}^{{\sc N}-1}}$ in general position. (2) There exist complete non-proper embedded minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}^{\sc N},}$ ${\forall\,{\sc N} >3 .}$      

Sets Computing the Symmetric Tensor Rank

Let ${\nu_{d} : \mathbb{P}^{r} \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^{N}, N := \left( \begin{array}{ll} r + d \\ \,\,\,\,\,\, r \end{array} \right)- 1,}$ denote the degree d Veronese embedding of ${\mathbb{P}^{r}}$ . For any ${P\, \in \, \mathbb{P}^{N}}$ , the symmetric tensor rank sr(P) is the minimal cardinality of a set ${\mathcal{S} \subset \nu_{d}(\mathbb{P}^{r})}$ spanning P. Let ${\mathcal{S}(P)}$ be the set of all ${A \subset \mathbb{P}^{r}}$ such that ${\nu_{d}(A)}$ computes sr(P). Here we classify all ${P \,\in\, \mathbb{P}^{n}}$ such that sr(P) <  3d/2 and sr(P) is computed by at least two subsets of ${\nu_{d}(\mathbb{P}^{r})}$ . For such tensors ${P\, \in\, \mathbb{P}^{N}}$ , we prove that ${\mathcal{S}(P)}$ has no isolated points.     

On a conjecture of Rapoport and Zink

In their book, Rapoport and Zink constructed rigid analytic period spaces ${\mathcal {F}}^{wa}$ for Fontaine’s filtered isocrystals, and period morphisms from PEL moduli spaces of p-divisible groups to some of these period spaces. They conjectured the existence of an étale bijective morphism ${\mathcal {F}}^{a}\to {\mathcal {F}}^{wa}$ of rigid analytic spaces and of a universal local system of ? _p -vector spaces on  ${\mathcal {F}}^{a}$ . Such a local system would give rise to a tower of étale covering spaces $\breve {{\mathcal {E}}}_{{\widetilde {K}}}$ of ${\mathcal {F}}^{a}$ , equipped with a Hecke-action, and an action of the automorphism group J(? _p ) of the isocrystal with extra structure. For Hodge-Tate weights n?1 and n we construct in this article an intrinsic Berkovich open subspace ${\mathcal {F}}^{0}$ of ${\mathcal {F}}^{wa}$ and the universal local system on ${\mathcal {F}}^{0}$ . We show that only in exceptional cases ${\mathcal {F}}^{0}$ equals all of ${\mathcal {F}}^{wa}$ and when the Shimura group is $\operatorname {GL}_{n}$ we determine all these cases. We conjecture that the rigid-analytic space associated with ${\mathcal {F}}^{0}$ is the maximal possible ${\mathcal {F}}^{a}$ , and that ${\mathcal {F}}^{0}$ is connected. We give evidence for these conjectures. For those period spaces possessing PEL period morphisms, we show that ${\mathcal {F}}^{0}$ equals the image of the period morphism. Then our local system is the rational Tate module of the universal p-divisible group and carries a J(? _p )-linearization. We construct the tower $\breve {{\mathcal {E}}}_{{\widetilde {K}}}$ of étale covering spaces, and we show that it is canonically isomorphic in a Hecke and J(? _p )-equivariant way to the tower constructed by Rapoport and Zink using the universal p-divisible group.     

The Lagrangian Radon Transform and the Weil Representation

We consider the operator $\mathcal {R}$ , which sends a function on ${\mathbb {R}}^{2n}$ to its integrals over all affine Lagrangian subspaces in ${\mathbb {R}}^{2n}$ . We discuss properties of the operator $\mathcal {R}$ and of the representation of the affine symplectic group in several function spaces on ${\mathbb {R}}^{2n}$ .     

Donsker-type theorems for nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators

Let ${\mathcal{P}}$ be a nonparametric probability model consisting of smooth probability densities and let ${\hat{p}_{n}}$ be the corresponding maximum likelihood estimator based on n independent observations each distributed according to the law ${\mathbb{P}}$ . With $\hat{\mathbb{P}}_{n}$ denoting the measure induced by the density ${\hat{p}_{n}}$ , define the stochastic process ${\hat{\nu}}_{n}: f\longmapsto \sqrt{n} \int fd({\hat{\mathbb{P}}}_{n} -\mathbb{P})$ where f ranges over some function class ${\mathcal{F}}$ . We give a general condition for Donsker classes ${\mathcal{F}}$ implying that the stochastic process $\hat{\nu}_{n}$ is asymptotically equivalent to the empirical process in the space ${\ell ^{\infty }(\mathcal{F})}$ of bounded functions on ${ \mathcal{F}}$ . This implies in particular that $\hat{\nu}_{n}$ converges in law in ${\ell ^{\infty }(\mathcal{F})}$ to a mean zero Gaussian process. We verify the general condition for a large family of Donsker classes ${\mathcal{ F}}$ . We give a number of applications: convergence of the probability measure ${\hat{\mathbb{P}}_{n}}$ to ${\mathbb{P}}$ at rate ${\sqrt{n}}$ in certain metrics metrizing the topology of weak(-star) convergence; a unified treatment of convergence rates of the MLE in a continuous scale of Sobolev-norms; ${\sqrt{n}}$ -efficient estimation of nonlinear functionals defined on ${\mathcal{P}}$ ; limit theorems at rate ${\sqrt{n}}$ for the maximum likelihood estimator of the convolution product ${\mathbb{P\ast P}}$ .     

Matrix Representations of the Low Order Real Clifford Algebras

In this paper we construct the matrix subalgebras ${L_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})}$ of the real matrix algebra ${M_{2^{r+s}} (\mathbb{R})}$ when 2 ≤ r + s ≤ 3 and we show that each ${L_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})}$ is isomorphic to the real Clifford algebra ${\mathcal{C} \ell_{r,s}}$ . In particular, we prove that the algebras ${L_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})}$ can be induced from ${L_{0,n}(\mathbb{R})}$ when 2 ≤ r + s = n ≤ 3 by deforming vector generators of ${L_{0,n}(\mathbb{R})}$ to multiply the specific diagonal matrices. Also, we construct two subalgebras ${T_4(\mathbb{C})}$ and ${T_2(\mathbb{H})}$ of matrix algebras ${M_4(\mathbb{C})}$ and ${M_2(\mathbb{H})}$ , respectively, which are both isomorphic to the Clifford algebra ${\mathcal{C} \ell_{0,3}}$ , and apply them to obtain the properties related to the Clifford group Γ_0,3.     

Constant Angle Property and Canonical Principal Directions for Surfaces in {\mathbb{M}^{2}(c) \times {\mathbb{R}_{1}}}

In this paper, we study surfaces in Lorentzian product spaces ${{\mathbb{M}^{2}(c) \times \mathbb{R}_1}}$ . We classify constant angle spacelike and timelike surfaces in ${{\mathbb{S}^{2} \times \mathbb{R}_1}}$ and ${{\mathbb{H}^{2} \times \mathbb{R}_1}}$ . Moreover, complete classifications of spacelike surfaces in ${{\mathbb{S}^{2} \times \mathbb{R}_1}}$ and ${{\mathbb{H}^{2} \times \mathbb{R}_1}}$ and timelike surfaces in ${{\mathbb{M}^{2}(c) \times \mathbb{R}_1}}$ with a canonical principal direction are obtained. Finally, a new characterization of the catenoid of the 3rd kind is established, as the only minimal timelike surface with a canonical principal direction in Minkowski 3–space.
