A Tauberian theorem for ℓ-adic sheaves on \mathbb{A} 1

Let K ∈ L ¹(?) and let f ∈ L ^∞(?) be two functions on ?. The convolution $$ \left( {K*F} \right)\left( x \right) = \int_\mathbb{R} {K\left( {x - y} \right)f\left( y \right)dy} $$ can be considered as an average of f with weight defined by K. Wiener’s Tauberian theorem says that under suitable conditions, if $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \left( {K*F} \right)\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \int_\mathbb{R} {\left( {K*A} \right)\left( x \right)} $$ for some constant A, then $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } f\left( x \right) = A $$ We prove the following ?-adic analogue of this theorem: Suppose K, F, G are perverse ?-adic sheaves on the affine line $ \mathbb{A} $ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p (p ≠ ?). Under suitable conditions, if $ \left( {K*F} \right)|_{\eta _\infty } \cong \left( {K*G} \right)|_{\eta _\infty } $ , then $ F|_{\eta _\infty } \cong G|_{\eta _\infty } $ , where η _∞ is the spectrum of the local field of $ \mathbb{A} $ at ∞.     

Height of a Superposition

We observe that, given a poset ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ and a finite covering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}} = {\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} \cup \cdots \cup {\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} $ of its ordering, the height of the poset does not exceed the natural product of the heights of the corresponding sub-relations: $$\mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)} \leqslant \mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} } \right)} \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}.$$ Conversely for every finite sequence $(\xi_1,\cdots,\xi_n)$ of ordinals, every poset ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ of height at most $\xi_1\otimes\cdots\otimes\xi_n$ admits a partition ${\left( {{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} , \cdots ,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}$ of its ordering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}}$ such that each ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{k} } \right)}$ has height at most $\xi_k$ . In particular for every finite sequence $(\xi_1,\cdots,\xi_n)$ of ordinals, the ordinal $$\xi _{1} \underline{ \otimes } \cdots \underline{ \otimes } \xi _{n} : = \sup {\left\{ {{\left( {\xi ^{\prime }_{1} \otimes \cdots \otimes \xi ^{\prime }_{n} } \right)} + 1:\xi ^{\prime }_{1} < \xi _{1} , \cdots ,\xi ^{\prime }_{n} < \xi _{n} } \right\}}$$ is the least $\xi$ for which the following partition relation holds $$\mathfrak{H}_{\xi } \to {\left( {\mathfrak{H}_{{\xi _{1} }} , \cdots ,\mathfrak{H}_{{\xi _{n} }} } \right)}^{2} $$ meaning: for every poset ${\left( {A,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ of height at least $\xi$ and every finite covering ${\left( {{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} , \cdots ,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}$ of its ordering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}}$ , there is a $k$ for which the relation ${\left( {A,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{k} } \right)}$ has height at least $\xi_k$ . The proof will rely on analogue properties of vertex coverings w.r.t. the natural sum.     

Ultrapowers ofL 1(μ) and the subsequence splitting principle

We study the ultrapowers $L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{U} $ of aL ₁(μ) space, by describing the components of the well-known representation $L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{U} = L_1 (\mu _\mathfrak{U} ) \oplus _1 L_1 (\nu _\mathfrak{U} )$ , and we give a representation of the projection from $L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{U} $ onto $L_1 (\mu _\mathfrak{U} )$ . Moreover, the subsequence splitting principle forL ₁(μ) motivates the following question: if $\mathfrak{V}$ is an ultrafilter on ? and $[f_i ] \in L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{V} $ , is it possible to find a weakly convergent sequence (g _i ) ?L ₁(μ) following $\mathfrak{V}$ and a disjoint sequence (h _i ) ?L ₁(μ) such that [f _i ]=[g _i ]+[h _i ]? If $\mathfrak{V}$ is a selective ultrafilter, we find a positive answer by showing that $f = [f_i ] \in L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{V} $ belongs to $L_1 (\mu _{_\mathfrak{V} } )$ if and only if its representatives {f _i } are weakly convergent following $\mathfrak{V}$ and $f \in L_1 (\nu _\mathfrak{V} )$ if and only if it admits a representative consisting of pairwise disjoint functions. As a consequence, we obtain a new proof of the subsequence splitting principle. If $\mathfrak{V}$ is not a p-point then the above characterizations of $L_1 (\nu _{_\mathfrak{V} } )$ and $L_1 (\nu _{_\mathfrak{V} } )$ fail and the answer to the question is negative.     

Limit theorems for von Mises statistics of a measure preserving transformation

For a measure preserving transformation \(T\) of a probability space \((X,\mathcal{F },\mu )\) and some \(d \ge 1\) we investigate almost sure and distributional convergence of random variables of the form $$\begin{aligned} x \rightarrow \frac{1}{C_n} \sum _{0\le i_1,\ldots ,\,i_d where \(C_1, C_2,\ldots \) are normalizing constants and the kernel \(f\) belongs to an appropriate subspace in some \(L_p(X^d\!,\, \mathcal{F }^{\otimes d}\!,\,\mu ^d)\) . We establish a form of the individual ergodic theorem for such sequences. Using a filtration compatible with \(T\) and the martingale approximation, we prove a central limit theorem in the non-degenerate case; for a class of canonical (totally degenerate) kernels and \(d=2\) , we also show that the convergence holds in distribution towards a quadratic form \(\sum _{m=1}^{\infty } \lambda _m\eta ^2_m\) in independent standard Gaussian variables \(\eta _1, \eta _2, \ldots \) .     

On Deformations of Lie Algebroids

For any Lie algebroid A, its 1-jet bundle ${\mathfrak{J} A}$ is a Lie algebroid naturally and there is a representation ${\pi:\mathfrak{J} A\longrightarrow\mathfrak{D} A}$ . Denote by ${{\rm d}_{\mathfrak{J}}}$ the corresponding coboundary operator. In this paper, we realize the deformation cohomology of a Lie algebroid A introduced by M. Crainic and I. Moerdijk as the cohomology of a subcomplex ${(\Gamma({\rm Hom}(\wedge^\bullet\mathfrak{J} A,A)_{{\mathfrak{D}} A}),{\rm d}_{\mathfrak{J}})}$ of the cochain complex ${(\Gamma({\rm Hom}(\wedge^\bullet\mathfrak{J} A, A)),{\rm d}_\mathfrak{J})}$ .     

A Construction of Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules for Locally Reductive Lie Algebras

We study cohomological induction for a pair $ {\left( {\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k}} \right)} $ , $ \mathfrak{g} $ being an infinitedimensional locally reductive Lie algebra and $ \mathfrak{k} \subset \mathfrak{g} $ being of the form $ \mathfrak{k}_{0} \subset C_{\mathfrak{g}} {\left( {\mathfrak{k}_{0} } \right)} $ , where $ \mathfrak{k}_{0} \subset \mathfrak{g} $ is a finite-dimensional reductive in $ \mathfrak{g} $ subalgebra and $ C_{\mathfrak{g}} {\left( {\mathfrak{k}_{0} } \right)} $ is the centralizer of $ \mathfrak{k}_{0} $ in $ \mathfrak{g} $ . We prove a general nonvanishing and $ \mathfrak{k} $ -finiteness theorem for the output. This yields, in particular, simple $ {\left( {\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k}} \right)} $ -modules of finite type over k which are analogs of the fundamental series of generalized Harish-Chandra modules constructed in [PZ1] and [PZ2]. We study explicit versions of the construction when $ \mathfrak{g} $ is a root-reductive or diagonal locally simple Lie algebra.     

Bethe subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group

We introduce families $ \mathcal{B}_n^S\left( {{z_1},\ldots,{z_n}} \right) $ and $ \mathcal{B}_{{n,\hbar}}^S\left( {{z_1},\ldots,{z_n}} \right) $ of maximal commutative subalgebras, called Bethe subalgebras, of the group algebra $ \mathbb{C}\left[ {\mathfrak{S}n} \right] $ of the symmetric group. Bethe subalgebras are deformations of the Gelfand?Zetlin subalgebra of $ \mathbb{C}\left[ {\mathfrak{S}n} \right] $ . We describe various properties of Bethe subalgebras.     

On the cohomology of the orthosymplectic superalgebra

Let $\mathfrak{F}_{\lambda}^{n}$ be the $\mathop {\mathfrak {osp}}\nolimits \,(n|2)$ -module of weighted densities on ?^1|n of weight ??. We compute the cohomology spaces $\mathrm{H}^{k}_{\mathrm{diff}}\left(\mathop {\mathfrak {osp}}\nolimits \,(n|2),\mathfrak{F}_{\lambda}^{n}\right)$ , where k=1 and n=0,1,2 or k=2 and n=0,1. We explicitly give cocycles spanning these cohomology spaces.     

Tiling Convex Polygons with Congruent Equilateral Triangles

We study the sets $\mathcal{T}_{v}=\{m \in\{1,2,\ldots\}: \mbox{there is a convex polygon in }\mathbb{R}^{2}\mbox{ that has }v\mbox{ vertices and can be tiled with $m$ congruent equilateral triangles}\}$ , v=3,4,5,6. $\mathcal{T}_{3}$ , $\mathcal{T}_{4}$ , and $\mathcal{T}_{6}$ can be quoted completely. The complement $\{1,2,\ldots\} \setminus\mathcal{T}_{5}$ of $\mathcal{T}_{5}$ turns out to be a subset of Euler’s numeri idonei. As a consequence, $\{1,2,\ldots\} \setminus\mathcal{T}_{5}$ can be characterized with up to two exceptions, and a complete characterization is given under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.     

Classical limit of the tensor product of holomorphic discrete series representations

For three coadjoint orbits \(\mathcal {O}_1, \mathcal {O}_2\) and \(\mathcal {O}_3\) in \(\mathfrak {g}^*\) , the Corwin–Greenleaf function \(n(\mathcal {O}_1 \times \mathcal {O}_2, \mathcal {O}_3)\) is given by the number of \(G\) -orbits in \(\{(\lambda , \mu ) \in \mathcal {O}_1 \times \mathcal {O}_2 \, : \, \lambda + \mu \in \mathcal {O}_3 \}\) under the diagonal action. In the case where \(G\) is a simple Lie group of Hermitian type, we give an explicit formula of \(n(\mathcal {O}_1 \times \mathcal {O}_2, \mathcal {O}_3)\) for coadjoint orbits \(\mathcal {O}_1\) and \(\mathcal {O}_2\) that meet \(\left( [\mathfrak {k}, \mathfrak {k}] + \mathfrak {p}\right) ^{\perp }\) , and show that the formula is regarded as the ‘classical limit’ of a special case of Kobayashi’s multiplicity-free theorem (Progr. Math. 2007) in the branching law to symmetric pairs.     

Bochner–Riesz Means with Respect to a Generalized Cylinder

We study the L ^p boundedness of the generalized Bochner–Riesz means S ^λ which are defined as $$S^{\lambda}f(x) = \mathcal{F}^{-1} \left[\left(1 - \rho \right)_{+}^{\lambda} \widehat{f} \right](x)$$ where ${\rho(\xi) = {\rm max}\{|\xi_{1}|, \ldots, |\xi_{\ell}|\}}$ for ${\xi = (\xi_{1},\ldots, \xi_{\ell}) \in \mathbb{R}^{{d}_{1}} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{R}^{{d}_{\ell}}}$ and ${\mathcal{F}^{-1}}$ is the inverse Fourier transform.     

Maximal fitting subclasses of the class of all finite π-groups

Call a Fitting class $\mathfrak{F}$ π-maximal if $\mathfrak{F}$ is (inclusion-)maximal in the class $\mathfrak{C}_\pi$ of all finite π-groups, where π stands for a nonempty set of primes. We establish a π-maximality criterion for a Fitting class $\mathfrak{F}$ of finite π-groups: we prove that a nontrivial Fitting class $\mathfrak{F}$ is π-maximal if and only if there is a prime p ∈ π such that, for every π-group G, the index of the $\mathfrak{F}$ -radical $G_\mathfrak{F}$ in G is equal to 1 or p. This implies Laue’s familiar result on a necessary and sufficient condition of the maximality of an arbitrary Fitting class of finite groups in the class $\mathfrak{C}$ of all finite groups. The π-maximality criterion obtained also gives a confirmation of the negative solution of Skiba’s Problem asking whether a local Fitting class has no inclusion-maximal Fitting subclasses (see Problem 13.50, The Kourovka Notebook: Unsolved Problems in Group Theory, 14th ed., Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Novosibirsk, 1999).     

A commutant realization of Odake’s algebra

The bcβγ-system $ \mathcal{W} $ of rank 3 has an action of the affine vertex algebra $ {V_0}\left( {\mathfrak{s}{{\mathfrak{l}}_2}} \right) $ , and the commutant vertex algebra $ \mathcal{C}=\mathrm{Com}\left( {{V_0}\left( {\mathfrak{s}{{\mathfrak{l}}_2}} \right),\mathcal{W}} \right) $ contains copies of V _?3/2 $ \left( {\mathfrak{s}{{\mathfrak{l}}_2}} \right) $ and Odake’s algebra $ \mathcal{O} $ . Odake’s algebra is an extension of the N = 2 super-conformal algebra with c = 9, and is generated by eight fields which close nonlinearly under operator product expansions. Our main result is that V _?3/2 $ \left( {\mathfrak{s}{{\mathfrak{l}}_2}} \right) $ and $ \mathcal{O} $ form a Howe pair (i.e., a pair of mutual commutants) inside $ \mathcal{C} $ . More generally, any finite-dimensional representation of a Lie algebra $ \mathfrak{g} $ gives rise to a similar Howe pair, and this example corresponds to the adjoint representation of $ \mathfrak{s}{{\mathfrak{l}}_2} $ .     

The index of centralizers of elements in classical Lie algebras

The index of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is the minimum of dimensions of the stabilizers $\mathfrak{g}_\alpha $ over all covectors $\alpha \in \mathfrak{g}^ * $ . Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a reductive Lie algebra over a field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic ≠ = 2. Élashvili conjectured that the index of $\mathfrak{g}_\alpha $ is always equal to the index, or, which is the same, the rank of $\mathfrak{g}$ . In this article, Élashvili’s conjecture is proved for classical Lie algebras. Furthermore, it is shown that if $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}_n $ or $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{p}_{2n} $ and $e \in \mathfrak{g}$ is a nilpotent element, then the coadjoint action of $\mathfrak{g}_e $ has a generic stabilizer. For $\mathfrak{g}$ , we give examples of nilpotent elements $e \in \mathfrak{g}$ such that the coadjoint action of $\mathfrak{g}_e $ does not have a generic stabilizer.     

On uniformly bounded spherical functions in Hilbert space

Let G be a commutative group, written additively, with a neutral element 0, and let K be a finite group. Suppose that K acts on G via group automorphisms ${G \ni a \mapsto ka \in G}$ , ${k \in K}$ . Let ${{\mathfrak{H}}}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${{\mathcal L}({\mathfrak{H}})}$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on ${{\mathfrak{H}}}$ . A mapping ${u \colon G \to {\mathcal L}({\mathfrak{H}})}$ is termed a K-spherical function if it satisfies (1) ${|K|^{-1} \sum_{k\in K} u (a+kb)=u (a) u (b)}$ for any ${a,b\in G}$ , where |K| denotes the cardinality of K, and (2) ${u (0) = {\rm id}_{\mathfrak {H}},}$ where ${{\rm id}_{\mathfrak {H}}}$ designates the identity operator on ${{\mathfrak{H}}}$ . The main result of the paper is that for each K-spherical function ${u \colon G \to {\mathcal {L}}({\mathfrak {H}})}$ such that ${\| u \|_{\infty} = \sup_{a\in G} \| u (a)\|_{{\mathcal L}({\mathfrak{H}})} < \infty,}$ there is an invertible operator S in ${{\mathcal L}({\mathfrak{H}})}$ with ${\| S \| \, \| S^{-1}\| \leq |K| \, \| u \|_{\infty}^2}$ such that the K-spherical function ${{\tilde{u}} \colon G \to {\mathcal L}({\mathfrak{H}})}$ defined by ${{\tilde{u}}(a) = S u (a) S^{-1},\,a \in G,}$ satisfies ${{\tilde{u}}(-a) = {\tilde{u}}(a)^*}$ for each ${a \in G}$ . It is shown that this last condition is equivalent to insisting that ${{\tilde{u}}(a)}$ be normal for each ${a \in G}$ .     

A class of subelliptic quasilinear equations

Suppose $\mathfrak {X} = \{X_1, X_2, \ldots,\,X_m\}$ is a system of real smooth vector fields on an open neighbourhood Ω of the closure of a bounded connected open set M in $\mathbb {R}^N$ satisfying the finite rank condition of Hörmander, namely the rank of the Lie algebra generated by $\mathfrak {X}$ under the usual bracket operation is a constant equal to N. We study the smoothness of solutions of a class of quasilinear equations of the form $$Q_{\mathfrak {X}}u = \sum _{j=1}^m X_j^*a_j(x, u, Xu) +b (x, u, Xu) = 0$$ where $a_j,\,b \in C^{\infty}(\Omega \times \mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^m; \mathbb {R})$ . It is shown that if the matrix $\left({\frac {\partial a_j}{\partial \xi_i}}\right)$ is positive definite on $M \times \mathbb {R}^{m+1}$ then any weak solution $u \in \mathcal {C}^{2,\alpha}(M, \mathfrak {X})$ belongs to C ^∞(M).     

Harmonic mappings and conformal minimal immersions of Riemann surfaces into {\mathbb {R}^{\rm N}}

We prove that for any open Riemann surface ${\mathcal{N}}$ , natural number N ≥ 3, non-constant harmonic map ${h:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}}$ ^N?2 and holomorphic 2-form ${\mathfrak{H}}$ on ${\mathcal{N}}$ , there exists a weakly complete harmonic map ${X=(X_j)_{j=1,\ldots,{\sc N}}:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}^{\sc N}}$ with Hopf differential ${\mathfrak{H}}$ and ${(X_j)_{j=3,\ldots,{\sc N}}=h.}$ In particular, there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion ${Y=(Y_j)_{j=1,\ldots,{\sc N}}:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}^{\sc N}}$ such that ${(Y_j)_{j=3,\ldots,{\sc N}}=h}$ . As some consequences of these results (1) there exist complete full non-decomposable minimal surfaces with arbitrary conformal structure and whose generalized Gauss map is non-degenerate and fails to intersect N hyperplanes of ${\mathbb{CP}^{{\sc N}-1}}$ in general position. (2) There exist complete non-proper embedded minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}^{\sc N},}$ ${\forall\,{\sc N} >3 .}$      

\mathfrak{E} of topological spaces II

In this paper, we obtain analogues, in the situation of \(\mathfrak{E}\) -extensions, of Magill's theorem on lattices of compactifications. We define an epireflective subcategory of the categoryT 2 of all Hausdorff spaces to be admissive (respectively finitely admissive) if for any \(\mathfrak{E}\) -regular spaceX, every Hausdorff quotient of \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X\) which is Urysohn on \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) (respectively which is finitary on \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) ) and which is identity onX, has \(\mathfrak{E}\) . We notice that there are many proper epireflective subcategories ofT 2 containing all compact spaces and which are admissive; there are many such which are not admissive but finitely admissive. We prove that when \(\mathfrak{E}\) is a finitely admissive epireflective subcategory ofT 2, then the lattices of finitary \(\mathfrak{E}\) -extensions of two spacesX andY are isomorphic if and only if \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) and \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} Y - Y\) are homeomorphic. Further if \(\mathfrak{E}\) is admissive, then the lattices of Urysohn \(\mathfrak{E}\) -extensions ofX andY are isomorphic if and only if \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) and \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} Y - Y\) are homeomorphic.
