An Algorithm for Computing Quasi-Homogeneous Formal Normal Forms under Equivalence

This paper presents a recursive algorithm which is useful for computing normal forms of vector fields using smooth orbital equivalence. The case of vector fields with a singularity corresponding to a triple-zero eigenvalue with geometric multiplicity one is considered in detail. The results obtained are applied to the study of a simple electronic device, with only one nonlinearity.

The Poincaré index and the χy-characteristic of Hirzebruch

In the paper, we discuss several methods for computing the homology of contravariant and covariant versions of the classical De Rham complex on analytic spaces. Our approach is based on the theory of holomorphic and regular meromorphic differential forms, and is applicable in different settings depending on concrete types of varieties. Among other things, we describe how to compute by elementary calculations the homological index of vector fields and differential forms given on Cohen–Macaulay curves, graded normal surfaces, complete intersections and some others. In these situations, making use of ideas of X. Gómez-Mont, we derive explicit expressions for the local topological index of Poincaré and its generalizations. Furthermore, applying similar methods to the study of certain other complexes, we investigate some challenges, relating to the computation of classical topological–analytical invariants, such as the Euler characteristic of the Milnor fibre of an isolated singularity, the multiplicity of the discriminant of the versal deformation, the dimension of torsion and cotorsion modules, and so on.     

Coupling leads to chaos

The main goal of this paper is to prove analytically the existence of strange attractors in a family of vector fields consisting of two Brusselators linearly coupled by diffusion. We will show that such a family contains a generic unfolding of a 4-dimensional nilpotent singularity of codimension 4. On the other hand, we will prove that in any generic unfolding Xμ of an n-dimensional nilpotent singularity of codimension n there are bifurcation curves of (n−1)-dimensional nilpotent singularities of codimension n−1 which are in turn generically unfolded by Xμ. Arguments conclude recalling that any generic unfolding of the 3-dimensional nilpotent singularity of codimension 3 exhibits strange attractors.     

Construction process for simple Lie algebras

We give here a construction process for the complex simple Lie algebras and the non-Hermitian type real forms which intersect the minimal nilpotent complex adjoint orbit, using a finite dimensional irreducible representation of the conformal group, or of some two-fold covering of it, with highest weight vector a semi-invariant of degree four. This process leads to a five-graded simple complex Lie algebra and the underlying semi-invariant is intimately related to the structure of the minimal nilpotent orbit. We also describe a similar construction process for the simple real Lie algebras of Hermitian type.     

On balanced Hermitian structures on Lie groups

We present several methods for the construction of balanced Hermitian structures on Lie groups. In our methods a partial differential equation is involved so that the resulting structures are in general non homogeneous. In particular, we prove that for 3-step nilpotent Lie groups G of dimension 6, any left-invariant complex structure on G admits a balanced Hermitian metric. Starting from normal almost contact structures, we construct balanced metrics on 6-dimensional manifolds, generalizing warped products. Finally, explicit balanced Hermitian structures are also given on solvable Lie groups defined as semidirect products ${\mathbb{R}^k \ltimes \mathbb{R}^{2n-k}}$ .     

Further Reduction of Normal Forms for Vector Fields

We study Lie's method in the way of Ushiki for further reduction of normal forms for vector fields with singularity at the origin. We give further reduction of normal forms in two typical cases for vector fields in dimension 2: one with a rotation as its linear part and the other with a nilpotent linear part.     

Stepwise square integrable representations of nilpotent Lie groups

We study the conditions for a nilpotent Lie group to be foliated into subgroups that have square integrable (relative discrete series) unitary representations, that fit together to form a filtration by normal subgroups. Then we use that filtration to construct a class of “stepwise square integrable” representations on which Plancherel measure is concentrated. Further, we work out the character formulae for those stepwise square integrable representations, and we give an explicit Plancherel formula. Next, we use some structure theory to check that all these constructions and results apply to nilradicals of minimal parabolic subgroups of real reductive Lie groups. Finally, we develop multiplicity formulae for compact quotients $N/\varGamma $ where $\varGamma $ respects the filtration.     

The up-down formula for nil-homogeneous spaces

One considers a multiflow on a nil-homogeneous space—that is, the action of a vector group A on a quotient N/H, where N is a simply connected nilpotent Lie group and H is a closed connected subgroup. If A is also a subgroup of N, then the corresponding unitary action of A on L²(N/H) is anup-down representation—a succession of induced and restricted representations. An explicit orbital formula for the direct integral decomposition of this unitary representation is obtained. An unexpectedly simple sufficient condition for finite multiplicity is derived as a consequence. Similarities to ergodic actions are indicated.Supported by NSF # DMS-90-02642.     

Unique normal forms for the Takens–Bogdanov singularity in a special case

We consider further reduction of normal forms for nilpotent planar vector fields. We give a unique normal form for a special case of an open problem for the Takens–Bogdanov singularity.     

The Analytic and Formal Normal Form for the Nilpotent Singularity

We study orbital normal forms for analytic planar vector fields with nilpotent singularity. We show that the Takens normal form is analytic. In the case of generalized cusp we present the complete formal orbital normal form; it contains functional moduli. We interprete the coefficients of these moduli in terms of the hidden holonomy group.

On the tangential Cauchy‐Fueter operators on nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces in \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amssymb}\begin{document}\pagestyle{empty}${\mathbb {H}^2}$\end{document}

On quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {H}^2$, we find the explicit forms of tangential Cauchy‐Fueter operators and associated tangential Laplacians □_b. Then by using the Fourier transformation on the associated nilpotent Lie groups of step two, we construct the relative fundamental solutions to the tangential Laplacians and Szegö kernels on the nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces. It is different from the complex case that the quaternionic tangential structures on the nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {H}^2$ cannot be reduced to one standard model and the non‐homogeneous tangential Cauchy‐Fueter equations are solvable even in many convex cases.     

INTERSECTION COHOMOLOGY AND LIE ALGEBRA HOMOLOGY

For a semisimple algebraic group G over C, we try to make a comparative study between intersection cohomology of Schubert varieties and Lie algebra homology of certain nilpotent Lie algebras. We prove that when all simple factors of G are simply laced, these two are the same as vector spaces over C at the first homology level. We give counter-examples in the general case and state a conjecture as a possible direction for generalisation.     

A curve of nilpotent Lie algebras which are not Einstein nilradicals

The only known examples of non-compact Einstein homogeneous spaces are standard solvmanifolds (special solvable Lie groups endowed with a left invariant metric), and according to a long standing conjecture, they might be all. The classification of Einstein solvmanifolds is equivalent to the one of Einstein nilradicals, i.e. nilpotent Lie algebras which are nilradicals of the Lie algebras of Einstein solvmanifolds. Up to now, very few examples of ${\mathbb N}$ -graded nilpotent Lie algebras that cannot be Einstein nilradicals have been found. In particular, in each dimension, there are only finitely many known. We exhibit in the present paper two curves of pairwise non-isomorphic nine-dimensional two-step nilpotent Lie algebras which are not Einstein nilradicals.     

A CLASS OF HOMOGENEOUS LEFT INVARIANT OPERATORS ON THE NILPOTENT LIE GROUP G^{d+2}

This paper is devoted to a class of homogeneous left invariant operators L\ on the nilpotent Lie group G^{d+2} of the form $L-\lambda=-\sum\limits_{j=1}^d X_j^2-i\sum\limits_{m=1}^2 \lambda _m T_m,\lambda=\lambda_1,\lambda_2)\in C^2$ where {X_1,\cdots ,X_d,T_1, T_2} is a base of left invariant vector fields on G^{d+2}. With aid of harmonic analysis on nilpotent Lie groups and the method of increment operators, for all admissible L_\lambda, subelliptic estimate and an explicit inverse axe given and the hypoellipticity and the global solvability are obtained. Also, the structure of the set of admissible points \lambda is described exhaustively.     

On classical artinian localizations

ABSTRACT

We present some results about Lie algebras, which can be written as the sum of two subalgebras in two cases: where both subalgebras are simple or both are nilpotent. In the first case we suggest new examples of simple Lie algebras admitting decomposition into the sum of simple subalgebras and give explicit realizations where the existence of such decompositions was established earlier. We single out cases where such decomposition is not possible. We also construct examples of solvable Lie algebras, which are the sums of two nilpotent subalgebras, and the derived length of the sum is greater than the sum of the nilpotent indexes of the summands.
