Global Well-Posedness of mKdV in L 2 (𝕋, ℝ)

ABSTRACT

We show that the Miura map L ²(𝕋) → H ^?1(𝕋), r?r _x  + r ² is a global fold and then apply our results on global well-posedness of KdV in H ^?1(𝕋) to show that mKdV is globally well-posed in L ²(𝕋).     

Non-random Invariant Sets for Some Systems of Parabolic Stochastic Partial Differential Equations

Abstract

In this article we investigate a class of non-autonomous, semilinear, parabolic systems of stochastic partial differential equations defined on a smooth, bounded domain 𝒪 ? ? ⁿ and driven by an infinite-dimensional noise defined from an L ²(𝒪)-valued Wiener process; in the general case the noise can be colored relative to the space variable and white relative to the time variable. We first prove the existence and the uniqueness of a solution under very general hypotheses, and then establish the existence of invariant sets along with the validity of comparison principles under more restrictive conditions; the main ingredients in the proofs of these results consist of a new proposition concerning Wong–Zakaï approximations and of the adaptation of the theory of invariant sets developed for deterministic systems. We also illustrate our results by means of several examples such as certain stochastic systems of Lotka–Volterra and Landau–Ginzburg equations that fall naturally within the scope of our theory.     

Equivalences Induced by Adjoint Functors

Abstract

Let 𝒜 and ? be two Grothendieck categories, R : 𝒜 → ?, L : ? → 𝒜 a pair of adjoint functors, S ∈ ? a generator, and U = L(S). U defines a hereditary torsion class in 𝒜, which is carried by L, under suitable hypotheses, into a hereditary torsion class in ?. We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions which assure that the functors R and L induce equivalences between the quotient categories of 𝒜 and ? modulo these torsion classes. Applications to generalized module categories, rings with local units and group graded rings are also given here.     

Tame Kernels of Quaternion Number Fields

Let E/F be a Galois extension of number fields with the quaternion Galois group Q ₈. In this paper, we prove some relations connecting orders of the odd part of the kernel of the transfer map of the tame kernel of E with the same orders of some of its subfields. Let E/? be a Galois extension of number fields with the Galois group Q ₈ and p an odd prime such that p ≡ 3 (mod 4). We prove that if there is at most one quadratic subfield such that the p-Sylow subgroup of the tame kernel is nontrivial, then p ^r -rank(K ₂(E/K)) is even, i.e., 2|p ^r -rank(K ₂(𝒪 _E )) ? p ^r -rank(K ₂(𝒪 _K )), where K is the quartic subfield of E.     

On Factorizations of Baer-Local Formations

Abstract

It is proved that if the product ? of formations 𝔐 and ? ≠ ? is either a Baer-local formation or an ω-local formation and if ? ? 𝔉 for some one-generated ω-local formation 𝔉, then 𝔐 is also an ω-local formation.     

A Nonlinear Version of Noether's Type Theorem

Abstract

Let L be a line bundle on a smooth curve C, which defines a birational morphism onto Φ(C) ? P ^r . We prove that, under suitable assumptions on L, which are satisfied by Castelnuovo's curves, a generic section in H ⁰(C, L ²) can be written as α² + β² + γ², with α, β, γ ∈ H ⁰(C, L). If there are no quadrics of rank 3 containing Φ(C), this is true for any section. For canonical curves, this gives a non linear version of Noether's Theorem.     

A New Second-Order Infeasible Primal-Dual Path-Following Algorithm for Symmetric Optimization

In this article, we propose a new second-order infeasible primal-dual path-following algorithm for symmetric cone optimization. The algorithm further improves the complexity bound of a wide infeasible primal-dual path-following algorithm. The theory of Euclidean Jordan algebras is used to carry out our analysis. The convergence is shown for a commutative class of search directions. In particular, the complexity bound is 𝒪(r^5/4log ?^?1) for the Nesterov-Todd direction, and 𝒪(r^7/4log ?^?1) for the xs and sx directions, where r is the rank of the associated Euclidean Jordan algebra and ? is the required precision. If the starting point is strictly feasible, then the corresponding bounds can be reduced by a factor of r^3/4. Some preliminary numerical results are provided as well.     

Dispersive Estimates of Solutions to the Wave Equation with a Potential in Dimensions n ≥ 4

We prove dispersive estimates for solutions to the wave equation with a real-valued potential V ∈ L ^∞(R ⁿ ), n ≥ 4, satisfying V(x) = O(?x?^?(n+1)/2?ε), ε > 0.     

Nonexistence of Global Solutions to Nonlinear Stochastic Wave Equations in Mean L p -Norm

This article is concerned with explosive solutions of the initial-boundary problem for a class of nonlinear stochastic wave equations in a domain 𝒟 ? ? ^d . Under appropriate conditions on the initial data, the nonlinear term and the noise intensity, it is proved in Theorem 3.4 that there cannot exist a global solution and the local solution will blow up at a finite time in the mean L ^p  ? norm for p ≥ 1. An example is given to show the application of this theorem.     

The multiplier ideal is a universal test ideal

Abstract

For a canonical threefold X, we know that h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (nK _X )) ≥ 1 for a sufficiently large n. When χ(𝒪 _X ) > 0, it is not easy to get such an integer n. Fletcher showed that h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (12K _X )) ≥ 1 and h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (24K _X )) ≥ 2 when χ(𝒪 _X ) = 1. He inquired about existence of a canonical threefold with given conditions which shows the result sharp. We show that such an example does not exist. Using a different technique, we prove h ⁰(X, 𝒪 _X (12K _X )) ≥ 2.     

Asymptotics for Solutions of Elliptic Equations in Double Divergence Form

We consider weak solutions of an elliptic equation of the form ? _i ? _i (a _ij u) = 0 and their asymptotic properties at an interior point. We assume that the coefficients are bounded, measurable, complex-valued functions that stabilize as x → 0 in that the norm of the matrix (a _ij (x) ? δ _ij ) on the annulus B _2r \ B _r is bounded by a function Ω(r), where Ω²(r) satisfies the Dini condition at r = 0, as well as some technical monotonicity conditions; under these assumptions, solutions need not be continuous. Our main result is an explicit formula for the leading asymptotic term for solutions with at most a mild singularity at x = 0. As a consequence, we obtain upper and lower estimates for the L ^p -norm of solutions, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for solutions to be bounded or tend to zero in L ^p -mean as r → 0.     

Infeasible Mehrotra-Type Predictor-Corrector Interior-Point Algorithm for the Cartesian P *(κ)-LCP Over Symmetric Cones

We propose an infeasible Mehrotra-type predictor-corrector algorithm with a new center parameter updating scheme for Cartesian P _*(κ)-linear complementarity problem over symmetric cones. Based on the Nesterov-Todd direction, we show that the iteration-complexity bound of the proposed algorithm is 𝒪((1 + κ)³ r ²log ε^?1), where r is the rank of the associated Euclidean Jordan algebras and κ is the handicap of the problem and ε > 0 is the required precision. Some numerical results are reported as well.     

Symplectic algebras and poisson algebras

Abstract

A ring R is called left P-injective if for every a ∈ R, aR = r(l(a)) where l( ? ) and r( ? ) denote left and right annihilators respectively. The ring R is called left GP-injective if for any 0 ≠ a ∈ R, there exists n > 0 such that a ⁿ  ≠ 0 and a ⁿ R = r(l(a ⁿ )). As a response to an open question on GP -injective rings, an example of a left GP-injective ring which is not left P-injective is given. It is also proved here that a ring R is left FP -injective if and only if every matrix ring 𝕄 _n (R) is left GP-injective.     

A Note on the Double Affine Hecke Algebra of Type GL2

We express the double affine Hecke algebra ? associated to the general linear group GL₂(k) (here, k is a field with char(k) ≠ 2) as an amalgamated free product of quadratic extensions over the three-dimensional quantum torus 𝒪_q((k^×)³). With an eye towards proving ring-theoretic results pertaining to ?, a general treatment of amalgamated products of Ore and quadratic extensions is given. We prove an analogue of the Hilbert Basis Theorem for an amalgamated product Q of quadratic extensions and determine conditions for when the one-sided ideals of Q are principal or doubly-generated. Furthermore, we determine sufficient conditions which imply Q is a principal ideal ring. Finally, we construct an explicit isomorphism from ? to the amalgamated free product ring of quadratic extensions over 𝒪_q((k^×)³), a ring known to be noetherian. Therefore, it follows that ? is noetherian.     

A Non-Concentration Estimate for Partially Rectangular Billiards

We consider quasimodes on planar domains with a partially rectangular boundary. We prove that for any ε₀ > 0, an 𝒪(λ^?ε₀ ) quasimode must have L ² mass in the “wings” (in phase space) bounded below by λ^?2?δ for any δ > 0. The proof uses the author's recent work on 0-Gevrey smooth domains to approximate quasimodes on C ^{1, 1} domains. There is an improvement for C ^{k, α} and C ^∞ domains.     

A Family of Complex Irreducible Characters Possessed by Unitary and Special Unitary Groups Defined over Local Rings

Abstract

Let 𝒪 be a discrete valuation ring whose residue field 𝒪/𝔭 is finite and has odd characteristic. Let l be a positive integer. Set R = 𝒪/𝔭 ^l and let R = R[θ] be the ring obtained by adjoining to R a square root of a non-square unit. Consider the involution σ of R that fixes R elementwise and sends θ to ? θ. Let V be a free R-module of rank n > 0 endowed with a non-degenerate hermitian form ( , ) relative to σ. Let U _n (R) be the subgroup of GL(V) that preserves ( , ). Let SU _n (R) be the subgroup of all g ∈ U _n (R) whose determinant is equal to one. Let Ψ be the Weil character of U _n (R).

All irreducible constituents of Ψ are determined. An explicit character formula is given for each of them. In particular, all character degrees are computed. For n > 2 the corresponding results are also obtained for the restriction of Ψ to SU _n (R).     

Weak solutions to a stationary heat equation with nonlocal radiation boundary condition and right‐hand side in Lp (p⩾1)

Accurate modelling of heat transfer in high‐temperature situations requires accounting for the effect of heat radiation. In complex industrial applications involving dissipative heating, we hardly can expect from the mathematical theory that the heat sources will be in a better space than L¹. In this paper, we focus on a stationary heat equation with nonlocal boundary conditions and L^p right‐hand side, with p?1 being arbitrary. Thanks to new coercivity results, we are able to produce energy estimates that involve only the L^p norm of the heat sources and to prove the existence of weak solutions.

Tensor Product Representations of the Lie Superalgebra 𝔭(n) and Their Centralizers

Abstract

We construct an associative algebra A _k and show that there is a representation of A _k on V ^?k , where V is the natural 2n-dimensional representation of the Lie superalgebra 𝔭(n). We prove that A _k is the full centralizer of 𝔭(n) on V ^?k , thereby obtaining a “Schur-Weyl duality” for the Lie superalgebra 𝔭(n). This result is used to understand the representation theory of the Lie superalgebra 𝔭(n). In particular, using A _k we decompose the tensor space V ^?k , for k = 2 or 3, and show that V ^?k is not completely reducible for any k ≥ 2.
