Lie symmetries and CR geometry

This paper is divided into three parts. Part I develops a general, new theory (inspired by modern CR geometry) of Lie symmetries of completely integrable pde systems, viewed from their associated submanifolds of solutions. Part II constructs general combinatorial formulas for the prolongations of vector fields to jet spaces. Part III explicitly characterizes the flatness of some systems of the second order. The results presented here are original and were not published elsewhere; most formulas of Parts II and III were verified by means of Maple Release 7. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 47, Complex Analysis, 2007.     

Effective algebraic degeneracy

We show that for every smooth projective hypersurface X⊂ℙ ⁿ⁺¹ of degree d and of arbitrary dimension n ≥2, if X is generic, then there exists a proper algebraic subvariety Y ⊊ X such that every nonconstant entire holomorphic curve f :ℂ→X has image f(ℂ) which lies in Y, as soon as its degree satisfies the effective lower bound d\geqslant 2ⁿ⁵d\geqslant 2^{n^{5}} .     

On the Hartogs-Bochner phenomenon for CR functions in

Let be a compact, connected, -smooth and globally minimal hypersurface in which divides the projective space into two connected parts and . We prove that there exists a side, or , such that every continuous CR function on extends holomorphically to this side. Our proof of this theorem is a simplification of a result originally due to F. Sarkis.

     

Nonalgebraizable real analytic tubes in ℂ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

We give necessary conditions for certain real analytic tube generic submanifolds in ⁿ to be locally algebraizable. As an application, we exhibit families of real analytic non locally algebraizable tube generic submanifolds in ⁿ. During the proof, we show that the local CR automorphism group of a minimal, finitely nondegenerate real algebraic generic submanifold is a real algebraic local Lie group. We may state one of the main results as follows. Let M be a real analytic hypersurface tube in ⁿ passing through the origin, having a defining equation of the form v= (y), where (z,w)=(x+iy,u+iv)^n–1×. Assume that M is Levi nondegenerate at the origin and that the real Lie algebra of local infinitesimal CR automorphisms of M is of minimal possible dimension n, i.e. generated by the real parts of the holomorphic vector fields _z1,...,_{z n–1},_w. Then M is locally algebraizable only if every second derivative ²_{yky l}; is an algebraic function of the collection of first derivatives _y1,,_ym.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 32V40, 32V25, 32H02, 32H40, 32V10     

Characterization of the Newtonian Free Particle System in m\geqslant 2 Dependent Variables

We treat the problem of linearizability of a system of second order ordinary differential equations. The criterion we provide has applications to nonlinear Newtonian mechanics, especially in three-dimensional space. Let or , let , let , let and let

Existence of weak solutions to doubly degenerate diffusion equations

Spanning trees without adjacent vertices of degree 2

Albertson, Berman, Hutchinson, and Thomassen showed in 1990 that there exist highly connected graphs in which every spanning tree contains vertices of degree 2. Using a result of Alon and Wormald, we show that there exists a natural number $d$ such that every graph of minimum degree at least $d$ contains a spanning tree without adjacent vertices of degree 2. Moreover, we prove that every graph with minimum degree at least 3 has a spanning tree without three consecutive vertices of degree 2.     

Bounded diameter arboricity

We introduce the notion of bounded diameter arboricity. Specifically, the diameter- arboricity of a graph is the minimum number such that the edges of the graph can be partitioned into forests each of whose components has diameter at most . A class of graphs has bounded diameter arboricity if there exists a natural number such that every graph in the class has diameter- arboricity at most . We conjecture that the class of graphs with arboricity at most has bounded diameter arboricity at most . We prove this conjecture for by proving the stronger assertion that the union of a forest and a star forest can be partitioned into two forests of diameter at most 18. We use these results to characterize the bounded diameter arboricity for planar graphs of girth at least for all . As an application we show that every 6-edge-connected planar (multi)graph contains two edge-disjoint -thin spanning trees. Moreover, we answer a question by Mütze and Peter, leading to an improved lower bound on the density of globally sparse Ramsey graphs.
