Tempered representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic groups: special idempotents and topology

Let \(G=G(k)\) be a connected reductive group over a p-adic field k. The smooth (and tempered) complex representations of G can be considered as the nondegenerate modules over the Hecke algebra \({\mathcal {H}}={\mathcal {H}}(G)\) and the Schwartz algebra \({\mathcal {S}}={\mathcal {S}}(G)\) forming abelian categories \({\mathcal {M}}(G)\) and \({\mathcal {M}}^t(G)\), respectively. Idempotents \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) or \({\mathcal {S}}\) define full subcategories \({\mathcal {M}}_e(G)= \{V : {\mathcal {H}}eV=V\}\) and \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G)= \{V : {\mathcal {S}}eV=V\}\). Such an e is said to be special (in \({\mathcal {H}}\) or \({\mathcal {S}}\)) if the corresponding subcategory is abelian. Parallel to Bernstein’s result for \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) we will prove that, for special \(e \in {\mathcal {S}}\), \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G) = \prod _{\Theta \in \theta _e} {\mathcal {M}}^t(\Theta )\) is a finite direct product of component categories \({\mathcal {M}}^t(\Theta )\), now referring to connected components of the center of \({\mathcal {S}}\). A special \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) will be also special in \({\mathcal {S}}\), but idempotents \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) not being special can become special in \({\mathcal {S}}\). To obtain conditions we consider the sets \(\mathrm{Irr}^t(G) \subset \mathrm{Irr}(G)\) of (tempered) smooth irreducible representations of G, and we view \(\mathrm{Irr}(G)\) as a topological space for the Jacobson topology defined by the algebra \({\mathcal {H}}\). We use this topology to introduce a preorder on the connected components of \(\mathrm{Irr}^t(G)\). Then we prove that, for an idempotent \(e \in {\mathcal {H}}\) which becomes special in \({\mathcal {S}}\), its support \(\theta _e\) must be saturated with respect to that preorder. We further analyze the above decomposition of \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G)\) in the case where G is k-split with connected center and where \(e = e_J \in {\mathcal {H}}\) is the Iwahori idempotent. Here we can use work of Kazhdan and Lusztig to relate our preorder on the support \(\theta _{e_J}\) to the reverse of the natural partial order on the unipotent classes in G. We finish by explicitly computing the case \(G=GL_n\), where \(\theta _{e_J}\) identifies with the set of partitions of n. Surprisingly our preorder (which is a partial order now) is strictly coarser than the reverse of the dominance order on partitions.     

Integer Decomposition Property of Free Sums of Convex Polytopes

Let \({\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q} \subset \mathbb{R}^{e}}\) be integral convex polytopes of dimension d and e which contain the origin of \({\mathbb{R}^{d}}\) and \({\mathbb{R}^{e}}\), respectively. We say that an integral convex polytope \({\mathcal{P}\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}}\) possesses the integer decomposition property if, for each \({n\geq1}\) and for each \({\gamma \in n\mathcal{P}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{d}}\), there exist \({\gamma^{(1)}, . . . , \gamma^{(n)}}\) belonging to \({\mathcal{P}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{d}}\) such that \({\gamma = \gamma^{(1)} +. . .+\gamma^{(n)}}\). In the present paper, under some assumptions, the necessary and sufficient condition for the free sum of \({\mathcal{P}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q}}\) to possess the integer decomposition property will be presented.     

Fourth-order Schrödinger type operator with singular potentials

We prove that a deformation of a hypersurface in an (n + 1)-dimensional real space form \({{\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1}}\) induces a Hamiltonian variation of the normal congruence in the space \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1})}\) of oriented geodesics. As an application, we show that every Hamiltonian minimal submanifold in \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1})}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{n+1})}\)) with respect to the (para-)Kähler Einstein structure is locally the normal congruence of a hypersurface \({\Sigma}\) in \({{\mathbb S}^{n+1}}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb H}^{n+1}}\)) that is a critical point of the functional \({{\mathcal W}(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\left(\Pi_{i=1}^n|\epsilon+k_i^2|\right)^{1/2}}\), where k_i denote the principal curvatures of \({\Sigma}\) and \({\epsilon \in \{-1, 1\}}\). In addition, for \({n = 2}\), we prove that every Hamiltonian minimal surface in \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{3})}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{3})}\)), with respect to the (para-)Kähler conformally flat structure, is the normal congruence of a surface in \({{\mathbb S}^{3}}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb H}^{3}}\)) that is a critical point of the functional \({{\mathcal W}\prime(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\sqrt{H^2-K+1}}\) (resp. \({{\mathcal W}\prime(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\sqrt{H^2-K-1}}\)), where H and K denote, respectively, the mean and Gaussian curvature of \({\Sigma}\).     

A Beurling-Blecher-Labuschagne Theorem for Noncommutative Hardy Spaces Associated with Semifinite von Neumann Algebras

We prove a Beurling-Blecher-Labuschagne theorem for \({H^\infty}\)-invariant spaces of \({L^p(\mathcal{M},\tau)}\) when \({0 < p \leq\infty}\), using Arveson’s non-commutative Hardy space \({H^\infty}\) in relation to a von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal{M}}\) with a semifinite, faithful, normal tracial weight \({\tau}\). Using the main result, we are able to completely characterize all \({H^\infty}\)-invariant subspaces of \({L^p(\mathcal{M} \rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{Z},\tau)}\), where \({\mathcal{M} \rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{Z} }\) is a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal{M}}\) by the integer group \({\mathbb{Z}}\), and \({H^\infty}\) is a non-selfadjoint crossed product of \({\mathcal{M}}\) by \({\mathbb{Z}^+}\). As an example, we characterize all \({H^\infty}\)-invariant subspaces of the Schatten p-class \({S^p(\mathcal{H})}\), where \({H^\infty}\) is the lower triangular subalgebra of \({B(\mathcal{H})}\), for each \({0 < p \leq\infty}\).     

Mutually prime sequences of inner functions and the ranks of subspaces over the bidisk

Let \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) be a sequence of inner functions satisfying that \({\zeta_n(z):=\varphi_n(z)/\varphi_{n+1}(z)\in H^\infty(z)}\) for every n ≥ 0 and \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) have no nonconstant common inner divisors. Associated with it, we have a Rudin type invariant subspace \({\mathcal{M}}\) of \({H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)}\) . We write \({\mathcal{N}= H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus\mathcal{M}}\) . If \({\{\zeta_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) ia a mutually prime sequence, then we shall prove that \({rank_{\{T^\ast_z,T^\ast_w\}} \mathcal{N}=1}\) and \({rank_{\{\mathcal{F}^\ast_z\}}(\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M})=1}\) , where \({\mathcal{F}_z}\) is the fringe operator on \({\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M}}\) .     

Some remarks on energy inequalities for harmonic maps with potential

We call the \({\delta}\)-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension d flat if the \({\delta}\)-vector is of the form \({(1,0,\ldots,0,a,\ldots,a,0,\ldots,0)}\), where \({a \geq 1}\). In this paper, we give the complete characterization of possible flat \({\delta}\)-vectors. Moreover, for an integral convex polytope \({\mathcal{P}\subset \mathbb{R}^N}\) of dimension d, we let \({i(\mathcal{P},n)=|n\mathcal{P}\cap \mathbb{Z}^N|}\) and \({i^*(\mathcal{P},n)=|n(\mathcal{P} {\setminus}\partial \mathcal{P})\cap \mathbb{Z}^N|}\). By this characterization, we show that for any \({d \geq 1}\) and for any \({k,\ell \geq 0}\) with \({k+\ell \leq d-1}\), there exist integral convex polytopes \({\mathcal{P}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q}}\) of dimension d such that (i) For \({t=1,\ldots,k}\), we have \({i(\mathcal{P},t)=i(\mathcal{Q},t),}\) (ii) For \({t=1,\ldots,\ell}\), we have \({i^*(\mathcal{P},t)=i^*(\mathcal{Q},t)}\), and (iii) \({i(\mathcal{P},k+1) \neq i(\mathcal{Q},k+1)}\) and \({i^*(\mathcal{P},\ell+1)\neq i^*(\mathcal{Q},\ell+1)}\).     

Gauge functions,Eikonal equations and Bôcher’s theorem on stratified Lie groups

Let \({\mathcal{L} = \sum_{i=1}^m X_i^2}\) be a real sub-Laplacian on a Carnot group \({\mathbb{G}}\) and denote by \({\nabla_\mathcal{L} = (X_1,\ldots,X_m)}\) the intrinsic gradient related to \({\mathcal{L}}\). Our aim in this present paper is to analyze some features of the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-gauge functions on \({\mathbb{G}}\), i.e., the homogeneous functions d such that \({\mathcal{L}(d^\gamma) = 0}\) in \({\mathbb{G} \setminus \{0\}}\) , for some \({\gamma \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}}\). We consider the relation of \({\mathcal{L}}\)-gauge functions with: the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-Eikonal equation \({|\nabla_\mathcal{L} u| = 1}\) in \({\mathbb{G}}\); the Mean Value Formulas for the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-harmonic functions; the fundamental solution for \({\mathcal{L}}\); the Bôcher-type theorems for nonnegative \({\mathcal{L}}\)-harmonic functions in “punctured” open sets \({\dot \Omega:= \Omega \setminus \{x_0\}}\).     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-Extreme Points in Symmetric Spaces of Measurable Operators

Let \({\mathcal{M}}\) be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful, normal, semifinite trace \({\tau}\) and E be a strongly symmetric Banach function space on \({[0,\tau({\bf 1}))}\) . We show that an operator x in the unit sphere of \({E(\mathcal{M}, \tau)}\) is k-extreme, \({k \in {\mathbb{N}}}\) , whenever its singular value function \({\mu(x)}\) is k-extreme and one of the following conditions hold (i) \({\mu(\infty, x) = \lim_{t\to\infty}\mu(t, x) = 0}\) or (ii) \({n(x)\mathcal{M}n(x^*) = 0}\) and \({|x| \geq \mu(\infty, x)s(x)}\) , where n(x) and s(x) are null and support projections of x, respectively. The converse is true whenever \({\mathcal{M}}\) is non-atomic. The global k-rotundity property follows, that is if \({\mathcal{M}}\) is non-atomic then E is k-rotund if and only if \(E(\mathcal{M}, \tau)\) is k-rotund. As a consequence of the noncommutative results we obtain that f is a k-extreme point of the unit ball of the strongly symmetric function space E if and only if its decreasing rearrangement \({\mu(f)}\) is k-extreme and \({|f| \geq \mu(\infty,f)}\) . We conclude with the corollary on orbits Ω(g) and Ω′(g). We get that f is a k-extreme point of the orbit \({\Omega(g),\,g \in L_1 + L_{\infty}}\) , or \({\Omega'(g),\,g \in L_1[0, \alpha),\,\alpha < \infty}\) , if and only if \({\mu(f) = \mu(g)}\) and \({|f| \geq \mu(\infty, f)}\) . From this we obtain a characterization of k-extreme points in Marcinkiewicz spaces.     

On permutable meromorphic functions

We study the class \({\mathcal{M}}\) of functions meromorphic outside a countable closed set of essential singularities. We show that if a function in \({\mathcal{M}}\), with at least one essential singularity, permutes with a non-constant rational map g, then g is a Möbius map that is not conjugate to an irrational rotation. For a given function \({f \in\mathcal{M}}\) which is not a Möbius map, we show that the set of functions in \({\mathcal{M}}\) that permute with f is countably infinite. Finally, we show that there exist transcendental meromorphic functions \({f : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}}\) such that, among functions meromorphic in the plane, f permutes only with itself and with the identity map.     

Maximum Principle for H-Surfaces in the Unit Cone and Dirichlet’s Problem for their Equation in Central Projection

In the unit cone\({\mathcal{C} := \{(x, y, z)} \in {\mathbb R}^{3} : {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} < {z}^{2}, {z} > {0}\}\) we establish a geometric maximum principle for H-surfaces, where its mean curvature \({H = H(x, y, z)}\) is optimally bounded. Consequently, these surfaces cannot touch the conical boundary \({\partial \mathcal{C}}\) at interior points and have to approach \({\partial \mathcal{C}}\) transversally. By a nonlinear continuity method, we then solve the Dirichlet problem of the H-surface equation in central projection for Jordan-domains \({\Omega}\) which are strictly convex in the following sense: On its whole boundary \({\partial \mathcal{C}(\Omega)}\) their associate cone \({\mathcal{C}(\Omega) := \{(rx, ry, r) \in {\mathbb R}^{3} : (x, y) \in \Omega, r \in (0,+\infty)}\}\) admits rotated unit cones \({O \circ \mathcal{C}}\) as solids of support, where \({O \in {\mathbb R}^{3\times3}}\) represents a rotation in the Euclidean space. Thus we construct the unique H-surface with one-to-one central projection onto these domains \({\Omega}\) bounding a given Jordan-contour \({\Gamma \subset \mathcal{C} \backslash \{0\}}\) with one-toone central projection.     

Complex homomorphisms on self-conjugate algebras of functions

Let X be a non-void set and A be a subalgebra of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . We call a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional \({\varphi}\) on A a 1-evaluation if \({\varphi(f) \in f(X) }\) for all \({f\in A}\) . From the classical Gleason–Kahane–?elazko theorem, it follows that if X in addition is a compact Hausdorff space then a mapping \({\varphi}\) of \({C_{\mathbb{C}}(X) }\) into \({\mathbb{C}}\) is a 1-evaluation if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism. In this paper, we aim to investigate the extent to which this equivalence between 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms can be generalized to a wider class of self-conjugate subalgebras of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . In this regards, we prove that a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional on a self-conjugate subalgebra A of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) is a positive \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\overline{1}}\) -evaluation, that is, \({\varphi(f) \in\overline{f\left(X\right)}}\) for all \({f\in A}\) . As consequences of our general study, we prove that 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms on \({C_{\mathbb{C}}\left( X\right)}\) coincide for any topological space X and we get a new characterization of realcompact topological spaces.     

Partially isometric immersions and free maps

In this paper we investigate the existence of “partially” isometric immersions. These are maps \({f:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^q}\) which, for a given Riemannian manifold M, are isometries on some sub-bundle \({\mathcal{H}\subset TM}\). The concept of free maps, which is essential in the Nash–Gromov theory of isometric immersions, is replaced here by that of \({\mathcal{H}}\) –free maps, i.e. maps whose restriction to \({\mathcal{H}}\) is free. We prove, under suitable conditions on the dimension q of the Euclidean space, that \({\mathcal{H}}\) –free maps are generic and we provide, for the smallest possible value of q, explicit expressions for \({\mathcal{H}}\) –free maps in the following three settings: 1–dimensional distributions in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\), Lagrangian distributions of completely integrable systems, Hamiltonian distributions of a particular kind of Poisson Bracket.     

A Unified Framework for Linear Dimensionality Reduction in L1

For a family of interpolation norms \({\| \cdot \|_{1,2,s}}\) on \({\mathbb{R}^{n}}\), we provide a distribution over random matrices \({\Phi_s \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}}\) parametrized by sparsity level s such that for a fixed set X of K points in \({\mathbb{R}^{n}}\), if \({m \geq C s \log(K)}\) then with high probability, \({\frac{1}{2}\| \varvec{x} \|_{1,2,s} \leq \| \Phi_s (\varvec{x}) \|_1 \leq 2 \| \varvec{x} \|_{1,2,s}}\) for all \({\varvec{x} \in X}\). Several existing results in the literature roughly reduce to special cases of this result at different values of s: For s = n, \({\| \varvec{x} \|_{1,2,n}\equiv \| \varvec{x} \|_{1}}\) and we recover that dimension reducing linear maps can preserve the ?₁-norm up to a distortion proportional to the dimension reduction factor, which is known to be the best possible such result. For s = 1, \({\| \varvec{x} \|_{1,2,1}\equiv \| \varvec{x} \|_{2}}\), and we recover an ?₂/?₁ variant of the Johnson–Lindenstrauss Lemma for Gaussian random matrices. Finally, if \({\varvec{x}}\) is s- sparse, then \({\| \varvec{x} \|_{1,2,s} = \| \varvec{x} \|_1}\) and we recover that s-sparse vectors in \({\ell_1^n}\) embed into \({\ell_1^{\mathcal{O}(s \log(n))}}\) via sparse random matrix constructions.     

Some estimates for the Schrödinger type operators with nonnegative potentials

In this paper we consider the Schrödinger operator ?Δ + V on \({\mathbb R^d}\), where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Hölder class \({B_{q_{_1}}}\) for some \({q_{_1}\geq \frac{d}{2}}\) with d ≥ 3. Let \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) denote the Hardy space related to the Schrödinger operator L = ?Δ + V and \({BMO_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) be the dual space of \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\). We show that the Schrödinger type operator \({\nabla(-\Delta +V)^{-\beta}}\) is bounded from \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) into \({L^p(\mathbb R^d)}\) for \({p=\frac{d}{d-(2\beta-1)}}\) with \({ \frac{1}{2}<\beta<\frac{3}{2} }\) and that it is also bounded from \({L^p(\mathbb R^d)}\) into \({BMO_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) for \({p=\frac{d}{2\beta-1}}\) with \({ \frac{1}{2}<\beta< 2}\).     

M-$${\mathcal{}}$$-Injective (Flat) and Strongly $${\mathcal{B}}$$B-Injective (Flat) Modules

Let M be a left R-module, \({\mathcal{A}}\)be a family of some submodules of M and \({\mathcal{B}}\)be a family of some left R-modules. In this article, we introduce and characterize \({\mathcal{A}}\)-coherent, \({P\mathcal{A}}\), \({F\mathcal{A}}\), M-\({\mathcal{A}}\)-injective (flat) and strongly \({\mathcal{B}}\)-injective (flat) modules, which are generalizations of coherent, PS, FS, M-injective (flat) and strongly M-injective modules, respectively. We extend some known results to this general structure.     

Joins and subdirect products of varieties

We generalise in three different directions two well-known results in universal algebra. Grätzer, Lakser and P?onka proved that independent subvarieties \({\mathcal{V}_{1}, \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) of a variety \({\mathcal{V}}\) are disjoint and such that their join \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \vee \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) (in the lattice of subvarieties of \({\mathcal{V}}\)) is their direct product \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \times \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) . Jónsson and Tsinakis provided a partial converse to this result: if \({\mathcal{V}}\) is congruence permutable and \({\mathcal{V}_{1}, \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) are disjoint, then they are independent (and so \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \vee \mathcal{V}_{2} = \mathcal{V}_{1} \times \mathcal{V}_{2}}\)). We show that (i) if \({\mathcal{V}}\) is subtractive, then Jónsson’s and Tsinakis’ result holds under some minimal assumptions; (ii) if \({\mathcal{V}}\) satisfies some weakened permutability conditions, then disjointness implies a generalised notion of independence and \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \vee \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) is the subdirect product of \({\mathcal{V}_{1}}\) and \({\mathcal{V}_2}\) ; (iii) the same holds if \({\mathcal{V}}\) is congruence 3-permutable.     

Uniform in bandwidth exact rates for a class of kernel estimators

Given an i.i.d sample (Y _i , Z _i ), taking values in \({\mathbb{R}^{d'}\times\mathbb{R}^d}\), we consider a collection Nadarya–Watson kernel estimators of the conditional expectations \({\mathbb{E}( <\,c_g(z),g(Y)>+d_g(z)\mid Z=z)}\), where z belongs to a compact set \({H\subset \mathbb{R}^d}\), g a Borel function on \({\mathbb{R}^{d'}}\) and c _g (·), d _g (·) are continuous functions on \({\mathbb{R}^d}\). Given two bandwidth sequences \({h_n<\mathfrak{h}_n}\) fulfilling mild conditions, we obtain an exact and explicit almost sure limit bounds for the deviations of these estimators around their expectations, uniformly in \({g\in\mathcal{G},\;z\in H}\) and \({h_n\le h\le \mathfrak{h}_n}\) under mild conditions on the density f _Z , the class \({\mathcal{G}}\), the kernel K and the functions c _g (·), d _g (·). We apply this result to prove that smoothed empirical likelihood can be used to build confidence intervals for conditional probabilities \({\mathbb{P}( Y\in C\mid Z=z)}\), that hold uniformly in \({z\in H,\; C\in \mathcal{C},\; h\in [h_n,\mathfrak{h}_n]}\). Here \({\mathcal{C}}\) is a Vapnik–Chervonenkis class of sets.     

Local derivations of full matrix rings

Let \({\mathcal{R}}\) be a unital commutative ring and \({\mathcal{M}}\) be a 2-torsion free central \({\mathcal{R}}\) -bimodule. In this paper, for \({n \geqq 3}\), we show that every local derivation from M _n (\({\mathcal{R}}\)) into M _n (\({\mathcal{M}}\)) is a derivation.     

Einstein solvmanifolds: existence and non-existence questions

The aim of this paper is to study the problem of which solvable Lie groups admit an Einstein left invariant metric. The space \({\mathcal{N}}\) of all nilpotent Lie brackets on \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) parametrizes a set of (n + 1)-dimensional rank-one solvmanifolds \({\{S_{\mu}:\mu\in\mathcal{N}\}}\), containing the set of all those which are Einstein in that dimension. The moment map for the natural GL _n -action on \({\mathcal{N}}\), evaluated at \({\mu\in\mathcal{N}}\), encodes geometric information on S _μ and suggests the use of strong results from geometric invariant theory. For instance, the functional on \({\mathcal{N}}\) whose critical points are precisely the Einstein S _μ ’s, is the square norm of this moment map. We use a GL _n -invariant stratification for the space \({\mathcal{N}}\) and show that there is a strong interplay between the strata and the Einstein condition on the solvmanifolds S _μ . As an application, we obtain criteria to decide whether a given nilpotent Lie algebra can be the nilradical of a rank-one Einstein solvmanifold or not. We find several examples of \({\mathbb{N}}\)-graded (even 2-step) nilpotent Lie algebras which are not. A classification in the 7-dimensional, 6-step case and an existence result for certain 2-step algebras associated to graphs are also given.
