Segal-Bargmann transforms associated with finite Coxeter groups

Using a polarization of a suitable restriction map, and heat-kernel analysis, we construct a generalized Segal-Bargmann transform associated with every finite Coxeter group G on ? ^N . We find the integral representation of this transform, and we prove its unitarity. To define the Segal-Bargmann transform, we introduce a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on with reproducing kernel equal to the Dunkl-kernel. The definition and properties of extend naturally those of the well-known classical Fock space. The generalized Segal-Bargmann transform allows to exhibit some relationships between the Dunkl theory in the Schrödinger model and in the Fock model. Further, we prove a branching decomposition of as a unitary -module and a general version of Hecke's formula for the Dunkl transform.     

Spherical harmonic analysis on affine buildings

Let be a locally finite regular affine building with root system R. There is a commutative algebra spanned by averaging operators A _λ , λ ∈ P ⁺, acting on the space of all functions f:V _P → , where V _P is in most cases the set of all special vertices of , and P ⁺ is a set of dominant coweights of R. This algebra is studied in [6] and [7] for à _n buildings, and the general case is treated in [15]. In this paper we show that all algebra homomorphisms h: may be expressed in terms of the Macdonald spherical functions. We also provide a second formula for these homomorphisms in terms of an integral over the boundary of . We may regard as a subalgebra of the C ^*-algebra of bounded linear operators on ?²(V _P ), and we write for the closure of in this algebra. We study the Gelfand map , where M ₂= , and we compute M ₂ and the Plancherel measure of . We also compute the ?²-operator norms of the operators A _λ , λ ∈ P ⁺, in terms of the Macdonald spherical functions.     

The pseudo-effective cone of a non-Kählerian surface and applications

We describe the positive cone and the pseudo-effective cone of a non-Kählerian surface. We use these results for two types of applications: 1. Describe the set of possible total Ricci scalars associated with Gauduchon metrics of fixed volume 1 on a fixed non-Kählerian surface, and decide whether the assignment is a deformation invariant. 2. Study the stability of the canonical extension of a class VII surface X with positive b ₂. This extension plays an important role in our strategy to prove existence of curves on class VII surfaces, using gauge theoretical methods [Te2]. Our main tools are Buchdahl ampleness criterion for non-Kählerian surfaces [Bu2] and the recent results of Dloussky-Oeljeklaus-Toma [DOT] and Dloussky [D] on class VII surfaces with curves.     

Euler characteristics and Gysin sequences for group actions on boundaries

Let G be a locally compact group, let X be a universal proper G-space, and let be a G-equivariant compactification of X that is H-equivariantly contractible for each compact subgroup . Let . Assuming the Baum-Connes conjecture for G with coefficients and C(?X), we construct an exact sequence that computes the map on K-theory induced by the embedding . This exact sequence involves the equivariant Euler characteristic of X, which we study using an abstract notion of Poincaré duality in bivariant K-theory. As a consequence, if G is torsion-free and the Euler characteristic is non-zero, then the unit element of is a torsion element of order . Furthermore, we get a new proof of a theorem of Lück and Rosenberg concerning the class of the de Rham operator in equivariant K-homology.     

Totally geodesic immersions of Kähler manifolds and Kähler Frenet curves

In a given Kähler manifold (M,J) we introduce the notion of Kähler Frenet curves, which is closely related to the complex structure J of M. Using the notion of such curves, we characterize totally geodesic Kähler immersions of M into an ambient Kähler manifold and totally geodesic immersions of M into an ambient real space form of constant sectional curvature .     

Graphs of Triangulations and Perfect Matchings

Given a set P of points in general position in the plane, the graph of triangulations of P has a vertex for every triangulation of P, and two of them are adjacent if they differ by a single edge exchange. We prove that the subgraph of , consisting of all triangulations of P that admit a perfect matching, is connected. A main tool in our proof is a result of independent interest, namely that the graph that has as vertices the non-crossing perfect matchings of P and two of them are adjacent if their symmetric difference is a single non-crossing cycle, is also connected.     

Complex curves of genus three, Kummer surfaces and Quillen metrics

Let C be a smooth, complex, projective curve of genus 3. By choosing an unramified double covering of C, the Abel-Prym map yields an embedding of C into a Kummer surface K when C is non-hyperelliptic. We compute the Quillen metric on the determinant of the cohomologies of with respect to the metric on C induced from the flat Kähler metric on K. For the computation of the Quillen metric, we show the exact self-duality of the Heisenberg-invariant Kummer's quartic surfaces.     

Variations on ω-boundedness

Let be a property (or, equivalently, a class) of topological spaces. A space X is called -bounded if every subspace of X with (or in) has compact closure. Thus, countable-bounded has been known as ω-bounded and (σ-compact)-bounded as strongly ω-bounded. In this paper we present a systematic study of the interrelations of these two known “boundedness” concepts with -boundedness where is one of the further countability properties weakly Lindelöf, Lindelöf, hereditarily Lindelöf, and ccc.     

The algebraic surfaces on which the classical Phragmén-Lindelöf theorem holds

Let V be an algebraic variety in . We say that V satisfies the strong Phragmén-Lindelöf property (SPL) or that the classical Phragmén-Lindelöf Theorem holds on V if the following is true: There exists a positive constant A such that each plurisubharmonic function u on V which is bounded above by |z|+o(|z|) on V and by 0 on the real points in V already is bounded by A| Im z|. For algebraic varieties V of pure dimension k we derive necessary conditions on V to satisfy (SPL) and we characterize the curves and surfaces in which satisfy (SPL). Several examples illustrate how these results can be applied.     

Convolution functions of several variables with generalized bounded variation

Let L ¹ be the class of all complex-valued functions, with period 2π in each variable, in the space , where $\mathbb{T} = [0,2\pi )$ is the one-dimensional torus. Here, it is observed that L ¹ * E ? E for E = Lip(p; α ₁, α ₂, ..., α _N ) over , for , for , and for in the sense of Vitali as well as Hardy.     

On minimal non- -groups

A finite group G is called an J N J-group if every proper subgroup H of G is either subnormal in G or self-normalizing. We determinate the structure of non-J N J-groups in which all proper subgroups are J N J- groups.     

The error norm of Gauss-Kronrod quadrature formulae for weight functions of Bernstein-Szegö type

We consider the Gauss-Kronrod quadrature formulae for the Bernstein-Szegö weight functions consisting of any one of the four Chebyshev weights divided by the polynomial On certain spaces of analytic functions, the error term of these formulae is a continuous linear functional. We compute explicitly the norm of the error functional.     

Non-Jumping Numbers for 4-Uniform Hypergraphs

Let r≥2 be an integer. A real number α ∈ [0,1) is a jump for r if for any Open image in new window >0 and any integer m, m≥r, any r-uniform graph with n>n₀( Open image in new window ,m) vertices and at least Open image in new window edges contains a subgraph with m vertices and at least Open image in new window edges, where c=c(α) does not depend on Open image in new window and m. It follows from a theorem of Erd?s, Stone and Simonovits that every α ∈ [0,1) is a jump for r=2. Erd?s asked whether the same is true for r≥3. Frankl and Rödl gave a negative answer by showing that Open image in new window is not a jump for r if r≥3 and l>2r. Following a similar approach, we give several sequences of non-jumping numbers generalizing the above result for r=4.

On a Hypergraph Matching Problem

Let H = (V, E) be an r-uniform hypergraph and let A matching M of H is (α, )-perfect if for each F ∈ , at least α|F| vertices of F are covered by M. Our main result is a theorem giving sufficient conditions for an r-uniform hypergraph to have a -perfect matching. As a special case of our theorem we obtain the following result. Let K(n, r) denote the complete r-uniform hypergraph with n vertices. Let t and r be fixed positive integers where t≥r≥2. Then, K(n, r) can be packed with edge-disjoint copies of K(t, r) such that each vertex is incident with only o(n ^{r ?1}) unpacked edges. This extends a result of Rödl [9].     

Continuous embeddings of Besov-Morrey function spaces

We study embeddings of spaces of Besov-Morrey type, M Bp1,q1s1,r1(Rd ) → M Bp2 ,q2s2 ,r2 (R d ), and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for this. Moreover, we can also characterise the special weighted situation Bp1 ,r1s1 (R d , w) → M Bp2 ,q2s2 ,r2 (Rd ) for a Muckenhoupt A ∞ weight w, with wα(x) = |x|α , α -d1, as a typical example.     

Variational method for precise asymptotic formulas for nonlinear eigenvalue problems

We consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem motivated by the perturbed elliptic sine-Gordon equation where p >1 is a constant and λ ∈ R is an eigenvalue parameter. Our aim is to clarify the asymptotic relationship between L ^p+1-norm, L ^∞-norm of the solutions and λ when these norms are large. To this end, we consider an associated variational problem with this equation on a manifold new parameter), and obtain a solution pair . We establish the precise asymptotic formulas for .
