Lions-type compactness and Rubik actions on the Heisenberg group

In this paper we prove a Lions-type compactness embedding result for symmetric unbounded domains of the Heisenberg group. The natural group action on the Heisenberg group ${\mathbb{H}^n=\mathbb{C}^n \times \mathbb{R}}$ is provided by the unitary group U(n) × {1} and its appropriate subgroups, which will be used to construct subspaces with specific symmetry and compactness properties in the Folland-Stein’s horizontal Sobolev space ${HW_0^{1,2}(\mathbb{H}^n)}$ . As an application, we study the multiplicity of solutions for a singular subelliptic problem by exploiting a technique of solving the Rubik-cube applied to subgroups of U(n) × {1}. In our approach we employ concentration compactness, group-theoretical arguments, and variational methods.     

Elliptic Problems with Singular Potential and Double-Power Nonlinearity

We prove the existence of positive symmetric solutions to the semilinear elliptic problem

On the spectral norm of algebraic numbers

In this paper we continue to study the spectral norms and their completions ([4]) in the case of the algebraic closure $ \overline {\mathbb Q} $ of ? in ?. Let $ \widetilde{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}} $ be the completion of $ \overline {\mathbb Q} $ relative to the spectral norm. We prove that $ \widetilde{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}} $ can be identified with the R‐subalgebra of all symmetric functions of C(G), where C(G) denotes the ?‐Banach algebra of all continuous functions defined on the absolute Galois group G = Gal$ {\overline {\mathbb Q}} / {\mathbb Q} $. We prove that any compact, closed to conjugation subset of ? is the pseudo‐orbit of a suitable element of $ \widetilde{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}} $. We also prove that the topological closure of any algebraic number field in $ \widetilde{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}} $ is of the form $\widetilde{\mathbb{Q}[x]}$ with x in $ \widetilde{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}} $.     

Nontrivial Solution for a Kirchhoff Type Problem with Zero Mass

Consider the Kirchhoff type equation \begin{equation}\label{eq0.1}-\left(a+b\int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}}|\nabla u|^{2}\,dx\right) \Delta u=\left(\frac{1}{|x|^\mu}*F(u)\right)f(u)\ \ \mbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \ \ u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^N), ~~~~~~(0.1)\end{equation}where $a>0$, $b\geq0$, $0<\mu<\min\{N, 4\}$ with $N\geq 3$, $f: \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function and $F(u)=\int_0^u f(t)\,dt$. Under some general assumptions on $f$, we establish the existence of a nontrivial spherically symmetric solution for problem (0.1). The proof is mainly based on mountain pass approach and a scaling technique introduced by Jeanjean.     

Finite splitting fields of normal subgroups

Let G be a finite group, a normal subgroup, p a prime, a finite splitting field of characteristic p for G and We prove that is a splitting field for N, using the action of the Galois group of the field extension on the irreducible representations of N. As is a splitting field for the symmetric group S_n we get as a corollary that is a splitting field for the alternating group A_n. Received: 31 July 2003     

A generalisation of the Hopf construction and harmonic morphisms into {\mathbb {S}^2}

In this paper, we construct a new family of harmonic morphisms ${\varphi:V^5\to\mathbb{S}^2}In this paper, we construct a new family of harmonic morphisms j:V⁵?\mathbbS²{\varphi:V^5\to\mathbb{S}^2}, where V ⁵ is a 5-dimensional open manifold contained in an ellipsoidal hypersurface of \mathbbC⁴ = \mathbbR⁸{\mathbb{C}^4\,=\,\mathbb{R}^8}. These harmonic morphisms admit a continuous extension to the completion V^*5{{V^{\ast}}^5}, which turns out to be an explicit real algebraic variety. We work in the context of a generalization of the Hopf construction and equivariant theory.     

Semiclassical symmetric Schr?dinger equations: Existence of solutions concentrating simultaneously on several spheres

We study the radially symmetric Schr?dinger equation

Scattering of wave maps from {{\mathbb {R}^{2+1}}} to general targets

We show that smooth, radially symmetric wave maps U from ${\mathbb {R}^{2+1}}$ to a compact target manifold (N, where ? _r U and ? _t U have compact support for any fixed time, scatter. The result will follow from the work of Christodoulou and Tahvildar-Zadeh, and Struwe, upon proving that for ${(\lambda^{\prime} \in (0,1),}$ energy does not concentrate in the set $$K_{\frac{5}{8}T,\frac{7}{8}T}^{\lambda^{\prime}} = \{(x,t) \in \mathbb{R}^{2+1} \vert \quad|x| \leq \lambda^{\prime} t, t \in [(5/8)T,(7/8)T] \}.$$      

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.     

Uniqueness of \mathbb{C}^{ * } - and \mathbb{C}_{{\text{ + }}} -actions on Gizatullin Surfaces

A Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface V over $ \mathbb{C} $ , which can be completed by a zigzag; that is, by a linear chain of smooth rational curves. In this paper we deal with the question of uniqueness of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions and $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations on such a surface V up to automorphisms. The latter fibrations are in one to one correspondence with $ \mathbb{C}_{{\text{ + }}} $ -actions on V considered up to a “speed change”. Non-Gizatullin surfaces are known to admit at most one $ \mathbb{A}^{1} $ -fibration V → S up to an isomorphism of the base S. Moreover, an effective $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -action on them, if it does exist, is unique up to conjugation and inversion t $ \mapsto $ t ^?1 of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ . Obviously, uniqueness of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions fails for affine toric surfaces. There is a further interesting family of nontoric Gizatullin surfaces, called the Danilov-Gizatullin surfaces, where there are in general several conjugacy classes of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions and $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations, see, e.g., [FKZ1]. In the present paper we obtain a criterion as to when $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations of Gizatullin surfaces are conjugate up to an automorphism of V and the base $ S \cong \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ . We exhibit as well large subclasses of Gizatullin $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -surfaces for which a $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -action is essentially unique and for which there are at most two conjugacy classes of $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations over $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ .     

Existence and Multiplicity Results for a Class of Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations with Magnetic Potential Involving Sign-Changing Nonlinearity

In this work we consider the following class of elliptic problems $\begin{cases} −∆_Au + u = a(x)|u|^{q−2}u + b(x)|u|^{p−2}u & {\rm in} & \mathbb{R}^N, \\u ∈ H^1_A (\mathbb{R}^N), \tag{P} \end{cases}$ with $2 < q < p < 2^∗ = \frac{2N}{N−2},$ $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are functions that can change sign and satisfy some additional conditions; $u \in H^1_A (\mathbb{R}^N)$ and $A : \mathbb{R}^N → \mathbb{R}^N$ is a magnetic potential. Also using the Nehari method in combination with other complementary arguments, we discuss the existence of infinitely many solutions to the problem in question, varying the assumptions about the weight functions.     

Statistical convergence of multiple sequences

We extend the concept of and basic results on statistical convergence from ordinary (single) sequences to multiple sequences of (real or complex) numbers. As an application to Fourier analysis, we obtain the following Theorem 3: (i) If $f \in L(\textrm{log}^{+} L)^{d-1}(\mathbb{T}^d)$, where $\mathbb{T}^d := [-\pi, \pi)^{d}$ is the d-dimensional torus, then the Fourier series of f is statistically convergent to $f({\bf t})$ at almost every ${\bf t} \in \mathbb{T}^d$; (ii) If $f \in C(\mathbb{T}^d)$, then the Fourier series of f is statistically convergent to $f ({\bf t})$ uniformly on $\mathbb{T}^d$.

Linearity and Second Fundamental Forms for Proper Holomorphic Maps from \mathbb{B}^{n+1} to \mathbb{B}^{4n-3}

For a holomorphic proper map F from the ball $\mathbb{B}^{n+1}$ into $\mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ that is C ³ smooth up to the boundary, the image $M=F(\partial\mathbb{B}^{n})$ is an immersed CR submanifold in the sphere $\partial \mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ on which some second fundamental forms II _M and $\mathit{II}^{CR}_{M}$ can be defined. It is shown that when 4??n+1<N+1??4n?3, F is linear fractional if and only if $\mathit{II}_{M} - \mathit{II}_{M}^{CR} \equiv 0$ .     

Arithmetic of characters of generalized symmetric groups

The result here answers the following questions in the affirmative: Can the Galois action on all abelian (Galois) fields $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be realized explicitly via an action on characters of some finite group? Are all subfields of a cyclotomic field of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\chi)$, for some irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group G? In particular, we explicitly determine the Galois action on all irreducible characters of the generalized symmetric groups. We also determine the smallest extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ required to realize (using matrices) a given irreducible representation of a generalized symmetric group. Received: 18 February 2002     

Automorphisms of a finitary factor power of an infinite symmetric group

We consider a semigroup FP_\textfin⁺ ( \mathfrakS_\textfin( \mathbbN ) ) FP_{\text{fin}}^{+} \left( {{\mathfrak{S}_{\text{fin}}}\left( \mathbb{N} \right)} \right) defined as a finitary factor power of a finitary symmetric group of countable order. It is proved that all automorphisms of FP_\textfin⁺ ( \mathfrakS_\textfin( \mathbbN ) ) FP_{\text{fin}}^{+} \left( {{\mathfrak{S}_{\text{fin}}}\left( \mathbb{N} \right)} \right) are induced by permutations from \mathfrakS( \mathbbN ) \mathfrak{S}\left( \mathbb{N} \right) .     

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.     

Uniqueness of integrable solutions to {\nabla \zeta=G \zeta, \zeta|_\Gamma = 0} for integrable tensor coefficients G and applications to elasticity

Let ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}}$ be a Lipschitz domain and Γ be a relatively open and non-empty subset of its boundary ${\partial\Omega}$ . We show that the solution to the linear first-order system $$\nabla \zeta = G\zeta, \, \, \zeta|_\Gamma = 0 \quad \quad \quad (1)$$ is unique if ${G \in \textsf{L}^{1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{(N \times N) \times N})}$ and ${\zeta \in \textsf{W}^{1,1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{N})}$ . As a consequence, we prove $$||| \cdot ||| : \textsf{C}_{o}^{\infty}(\Omega, \Gamma; \mathbb{R}^{3}) \rightarrow [0, \infty), \, \, u \mapsto \parallel {\rm sym}(\nabla uP^{-1})\parallel_{\textsf{L}^{2}(\Omega)}$$ to be a norm for ${P \in \textsf{L}^{\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ with Curl ${P \in \textsf{L}^{p}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ , Curl ${P^{-1} \in \textsf{L}^{q}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ for some p, q > 1 with 1/p + 1/q = 1 as well as det ${P \geq c^+ > 0}$ . We also give a new and different proof for the so-called ‘infinitesimal rigid displacement lemma’ in curvilinear coordinates: Let ${\Phi \in \textsf{H}^{1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3})}$ satisfy sym ${(\nabla\Phi^\top\nabla\Psi) = 0}$ for some ${\Psi \in \textsf{W}^{1,\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3}) \cap \textsf{H}^{2}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3})}$ with det ${\nabla\Psi \geq c^+ > 0}$ . Then, there exist a constant translation vector ${a \in \mathbb{R}^{3}}$ and a constant skew-symmetric matrix ${A \in \mathfrak{so}(3)}$ , such that ${\Phi = A\Psi + a}$ .     

Existence and Multiplicity Results for Some Elliptic Systems in Unbounded Cylinders

We study the following nonlinear elliptic system of Lane–Emden type $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = {\rm sgn}(v) |v| ^{p-1} \qquad \qquad \qquad \; {\rm in} \; \Omega , \\ -\Delta v = - \lambda {\rm sgn} (u)|u| \frac{1}{p-1} + f(x, u)\; \; {\rm in}\; \Omega , \\ u = v = 0 \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad \quad \;\;\;\;\; {\rm on}\; \partial \Omega , \end{array}\right.$$ where ${\lambda \in \mathbb{R}}$ . If ${\lambda \geq 0}$ and ${\Omega}$ is an unbounded cylinder, i.e., ${\Omega = \tilde \Omega \times \mathbb{R}^{N-m} \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}}$ , ${N - m \geq 2, m \geq 1}$ , existence and multiplicity results are proved by means of the Principle of Symmetric Criticality and some compact imbeddings in partially spherically symmetric spaces. We are able to state existence and multiplicity results also if ${\lambda \in \mathbb{R}}$ and ${\Omega}$ is a bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^{N}, N \geq 3}$ . In particular, a good finite dimensional decomposition of the Banach space in which we work is given.     

The higher order Riesz transform and BMO type space associated to Schrödinger operators

Let L = ?Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator on $\mathbb {R}^nLet L = ?Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator on $\mathbb {R}^n$ (n ≥ 3), where $V \not\equiv 0$ is a nonnegative potential belonging to certain reverse Hölder class B_s for $s \ge \frac{n}{2}$. In this article, we prove the boundedness of some integral operators related to L, such as L^?1?², L^?1V and L^?1( ? Δ) on the space $BMO_L(\mathbb {R}^n)$.
