Actions of discrete groups on spheres and real projective spaces

In this paper, we first define discrete, smooth actions on , whose limit sets are Cantor sets wildly embedded in (Antoine's necklaces). Secondly, we define Schottky groups on real projective spaces of odd dimensions, . We lift these actions to (locally) projective actions on the sphere and consider the quotient space of the domain of discontinuity by the group to obtain new examples of manifolds with real projective structures. *This work was partially supported by PROMEP (SEP). **This work was partially supported by CONACyT (México), grant U1 55084, PAPIIT (UNAM) grant IN102108.     

High Order Singular Rank One Perturbations of a Positive Operator

In this paper self-adjoint realizations in Hilbert and Pontryagin spaces of the formal expression are discussed and compared. Here L is a positive self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space with inner product 〈·,·〉, α is a real parameter, and φ in the rank one perturbation is a singular element belonging to with n ≥ 3, where is the scale of Hilbert spaces associated with L in      

Base subsets of symplectic Grassmannians

Let V and V′ be 2n-dimensional vector spaces over fields F and F′. Let also Ω: V× V→ F and Ω′: V′× V′→ F′ be non-degenerate symplectic forms. Denote by Π and Π′ the associated (2n−1)-dimensional projective spaces. The sets of k-dimensional totally isotropic subspaces of Π and Π′ will be denoted by and ${\mathcal G}'_{k}$, respectively. Apartments of the associated buildings intersect and by so-called base subsets. We show that every mapping of to sending base subsets to base subsets is induced by a symplectic embedding of Π to Π′.     

A note on morphic cohomology and algebraic cycles

We give examples of smooth projective complex varieties of dimension d ≥ 4 and primes ℓ such that the morphic cohomology group is infinite, and is not finitely generated as a rational vector space. In particular, for these examples the semi-topological K-group has infinite dimension.     

Exponential Dichotomy on the Real Line and Admissibility of Function Spaces

The purpose of this paper is to give characterizations for uniform exponential dichotomy of evolution families on the real line. We consider a general class of Banach function spaces denoted and we prove that if with and the pair is admissible for an evolution family then is uniformly exponentially dichotomic. By an example we show that the admissibility of the pair for an evolution family is not a sufficient condition for uniform exponential dichotomy. As applications, we deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for uniform exponential dichotomy of evolution families in terms of the admissibility of the pairs and with      

Über die Starrheit kompakter komplexer Räume

This article deals with deformations of compact complex spaces, the parameter-space being a general complex space. A compact space X₀ is called absolutely rigid, if every deformation of X₀ is trivial. Ex(X₀, ) is defined as the group of the extensions of by and it is shown that X₀ is absolutely rigid if and only if Ex(X₀, )=0.If X₀ is reduced, there is Ex(X₀, ). The proof makes use of the results of M.A{uprtin} [1] and D{upouady} [2].     

Equivariant gluing constructions of contact stationary Legendrian submanifolds in $${\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}}$$

A contact-stationary Legendrian submanifold of is a Legendrian submanifold whose volume is stationary under contact deformations. The simplest contact-stationary Legendrian submanifold (actually minimal Legendrian) is the real, equatorial n-sphere S ₀. This paper develops a method for constructing contact-stationary (but not minimal) Legendrian submanifolds of by gluing together configurations of sufficiently many many U(n + 1)-rotated copies of S ₀. Two examples of the construction, corresponding to finite cyclic subgroups of U(n + 1) are given. The resulting submanifolds are very symmetric; are geometrically akin to a ‘necklace’ of copies of S ₀ attached to each other by narrow necks and winding a large number of times around before closing up on themselves; and are topologically equivalent to .     

Moduli Spaces of Stable Polygons and Symplectic Structures on\overline {\mathcal{M}} _{0,n}

In this paper, certain natural and elementary polygonal objects in Euclidean space, the stable polygons, are introduced, and the novel moduli spaces of stable polygons are constructed as complex analytic spaces. Quite unexpectedly, these new moduli spaces are shown to be projective and isomorphic to the moduli space of the Deligne–Mumford stable curves of genus 0. Further, built into the structures of stable polygons are some natural data giving rise to a family of (classes of) symplectic (Kähler) forms. This, via the link to , brings up a new tool to study the Kähler topology of . A wild but precise conjecture on the shape of the Kähler cone of is given in the end.     

Projective curves of degree=codimension+2

In this article we study nondegenerate projective curves of degree d which are not arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay. Note that for a rational normal curve and a point . Our main result is about the relation between the geometric properties of X and the position of P with respect to . We show that the graded Betti numbers of X are uniquely determined by the rank of P with respect to . In particular, X satisfies property N _2,p if and only if . Therefore property N _2,p of X is controlled by and conversely can be read off from the minimal free resolution of X. This result provides a non-linearly normal example for which the converse to Theorem 1.1 in (Eisenbud et al., Compositio Math 141:1460–1478, 2005) holds. Also our result implies that for nondegenerate projective curves of degree d which are not arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay, there are exactly distinct Betti tables.     

Closed geodesics on compact nilmanifolds with Chevalley rational structure

We study the distribution of closed geodesics on nilmanifolds Γ \ N arising from a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra constructed from an irreducible representation of a compact semisimple Lie algebra on a real finite dimensional vector space U. We determine sufficient conditions on the semisimple Lie algebra for Γ \ N to have the density of closed geodesics property where Γ is a lattice arising from a Chevalley rational structure on .     

Symmetric Tensors And Geometry of {\mathbb{P}} ^N Subvarieties

This paper using a geometric approach produces vanishing and nonvanishing results concerning the spaces of twisted symmetric differentials on subvarieties , with k ≤ m. Emphasis is given to the case of k = m which is special and whose nonvanishing results on the dimensional range dim X > 2/3(N − 1) are related to the space of quadrics containing X and the variety of all tangent trisecant lines of X. The paper ends with an application showing that the twisted symmetric plurigenera, along smooth families of projective varieties X_t are not invariant even for α arbitrarily large.

On deformations of maps and curve singularities

We study several deformation functors associated to the normalization of a reduced curve singularity . The main new results are explicit formulas, in terms of classical invariants of (X, 0), for the cotangent cohomology groups T ⁱ , i  =  0,1,2, of these functors. Thus we obtain precise statements about smoothness and dimension of the corresponding local moduli spaces. We apply the results to obtain explicit formulas, respectively, estimates for the -codimension of a parametrized curve singularity, where denotes the Mather–Wall group of left-right equivalence.     

Differential operators on toric varieties and Fourier transform

We show that Fourier transforms on the Weyl algebras have a geometric counterpart in the framework of toric varieties, namely they induce isomorphisms between twisted rings of differential operators on regular toric varieties, whose fans are related to each other by reflections of one-dimensional cones. The simplest class of examples is provided by the toric varieties related by such reflections to projective spaces. It includes the blow-up at a point of the affine space and resolution of singularities of varieties appearing in the study of the minimal orbit of .     

Moduli spaces of principal <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>-bundles

In this paper we construct certain moduli spaces, which we call moduli spaces of (principal) F-bundles, and study their basic properties. These spaces are associated to triples consisting of a smooth projective geometrically connected curve over a finite field, a split reductive group G, and an irreducible algebraic representation .of of Our spaces generalize moduli spaces of F-sheaves, studied by Drinfeld and Lafforgue, which correspond to the case G = GL^r and is the tensor product of the standard representation and its dual. The importance of the moduli spaces of F-bundles is due to the belief that Langlands correspondence is realized in their cohomology.

Boundedness of Some Marcinkiewicz Integral Operators Related to Higher Order Commutators on Hardy Spaces

In this paper, the authors study the boundedness properties of μΩ↑m,b generated by the function b ∈Lipβ（R^n）（0 〈β≤ 1/m） and the Marcinkiewicz integrals operator μΩ. The boundednesses are established on the Hardy type spaces Hb^m^p,n（R^n） and the Herz Hardy type spaces Hbm Kq^α,p（R^b）.
