Harmonicity of vector fields on the oscillator groups with neutral signature

In this paper, we mainly investigate curvature properties and harmonicity of invariant vector fields on the four-dimensional Oscillator groups endowed with three left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics of signature (2,2). We determine all harmonic vector fields, vector fields which define harmonic maps and the vector fields which are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields of the same length.     

Harnack inequalities for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by Lévy processes

By using the existing sharp estimates of the density function for rotationally invariant symmetric α-stable Lévy processes and rotationally invariant symmetric truncated α-stable Lévy processes, we obtain that the Harnack inequalities hold for rotationally invariant symmetric α-stable Lévy processes with α∈(0,2) and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes driven by rotationally invariant symmetric α-stable Lévy process, while the logarithmic Harnack inequalities are satisfied for rotationally invariant symmetric truncated α-stable Lévy processes.     

Vector fields dynamics as geodesic motion on Lie groups

We study to what extent vector fields on Lie groups may be considered as geodesic fields. For a given left invariant vector field on a Lie group, we prove there exists a Riemannian metric whose geodesics are its trajectories. When we consider left invariant metrics, differences between the Riemannian and the Lorentzian cases appear, coded by properties of the Lie algebra. To cite this article: G.T. Pripoae, C. R. Acad.

Invariant monotone vector fields on Riemannian manifolds

Various concepts of invariant monotone vector fields on Riemannian manifolds are introduced. Some examples of invariant monotone vector fields are given. Several notions of invexities for functions on Riemannian manifolds are defined and their relations with invariant monotone vector fields are studied.     

On the invariant properties of notions of positive dependence and copulas under increasing transformations

Notions of positive dependence and copulas play important roles in modeling dependent risks. The invariant properties of notions of positive dependence and copulas under increasing transformations are often used in the studies of economics, finance, insurance and many other fields. In this paper, we examine the notions of the conditionally increasing (CI), the conditionally increasing in sequence (CIS), the positive dependence through the stochastic ordering (PDS), and the positive dependence through the upper orthant ordering (PDUO). We first use counterexamples to show that the statements in Theorem 3.10.19 of Müller and Stoyan (2002) about the invariant properties of CIS and CI under increasing transformations are not true. We then prove that the invariant properties of CIS and CI hold under strictly increasing transformations. Furthermore, we give rigorous proofs for the invariant properties of PDS and PDUO under increasing transformations. These invariant properties enable us to show that a continuous random vector is PDS (PDUO) if and only of its copula is PDS (PDUO). In addition, using the properties of generalized left-continuous and right-continuous inverse functions, we give a rigorous proof for the invariant property of copulas under increasing transformations on the components of any random vector. This result generalizes Proposition 4.7.4 of Denuit et al. (2005) and Proposition 5.6. of McNeil et al. (2005).     

Simplicial differential geometric theory for language cortical dynamics

This paper starts by reformulating synthetic differential geometry on abstract simplicial complexes. A new, multidimensional simplicial differential geometry is built by the authors: multidimensional vector fields, multidimensional distributions of vector fields, multidimensional Lie brackets, etc. New concepts of attractors, invariant distributions, and accessibility are formulated in this framework. Using these, control systems are for the first time introduced, in a global manner, on simplicial complexes in order to describe neurodynamics. Invariant distributions, attractors, etc. for cortical controlled systems form a rich picture of the neurodynamics of aphasia (deblocking or facilitation).     

Conformal vector fields on Finsler spaces

Here, it is shown that every vector field on a Finsler space which keeps geodesic circles invariant is conformal. A necessary and sufficient condition for a vector field to keep geodesic circles invariant, known as concircular vector fields, is obtained. This leads to a significant definition of concircular vector fields on a Finsler space. Finally, complete Finsler spaces admitting a special conformal vector field are classified.

The Relation Between Automorphism Group and Isometry Group of Randers Lie Groups

In this paper we consider simply connected Lie groups equipped with left invariant Randers metrics which arise from left invariant Riemannian metrics and left invariant vector fields. Then we study the intersection between automorphism and isometry groups of these spaces. Finally it has shown that for any left invariant vector field, in a special case, the Lie group admits a left invariant Randers metric such that this intersection is a maximal compact subgroup of the group of automorphisms with respect to which the considered vector field is invariant.     

Examples of non-conjugated holomorphic vector fields and foliations

We consider germs of holomorphic vector fields near the origin of with a saddle-node singularity, and the induced singular foliations. In a previous article we described the invariants addressing the analytical classification of these vector fields. They split into three parts: a formal, an orbital and a tangential component. For a fixed formal class, the orbital invariant (associated to the foliation) was obtained by Martinet and Ramis; we give it an integral representation. We then derive examples of non-orbitally conjugated foliations by the use of a “first-step” normal form, whose first-significative jet is an invariant. The tangential invariant also admits an integral representation, hence we derive explicit examples of vector fields, inducing the same foliation, that are not mutually conjugated. In addition, we provide a family of normal forms for vector fields orbitally equivalent to the model of Poincaré-Dulac.     

On the non-smoothness of the vector fields for the dynamically invariant Beltrami coefficients

For \(\mu \in L^{\infty }(\Delta )\), the vector fields on the unit circle determined by \(\mu \) play an important role in the theory of the universal Teichmüller space. The aim of this paper is to give some characterizations of the vector fields induced by dynamically invariant \(\mu \). We show that those vector fields are not contained in the Sobolev class \(H^{3/2}\). At last, we give some results on dynamically invariant vectors to show that the vector fields, the quasi-symmetric homeomorphisms, and the quasi-circles are closely related.     

Polynomials,Higher Order Sobolev Extension Theorems and Interpolation Inequalities on Weighted Folland-Stein Spaces on Stratified Groups

This paper consists of three main parts. One of them is to develop local and global Sobolev interpolation inequalities of any higher order for the nonisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified nilpotent Lie groups. Despite the extensive research after Jerison's work [3] on Poincaré-type inequalities for Hörmander's vector fields over the years, our results given here even in the nonweighted case appear to be new. Such interpolation inequalities have crucial applications to subelliptic or parabolic PDE's involving vector fields. The main tools to prove such inqualities are approximating the Sobolev functions by polynomials associated with the left invariant vector fields on ?. Some very usefull properties for polynomials associated with the functions are given here and they appear to have independent interests in their own rights. Finding the existence of such polynomials is the second main part of this paper. Main results of these two parts have been announced in the author's paper in Mathematical Research Letters [38].The third main part of this paper contains extension theorems on anisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified groups and their applications to proving Sobolev interpolation inequalities on (?,δ) domains. Some results of weighted Sobolev spaces are also given here. We construct a linear extension operator which is bounded on different Sobolev spaces simultaneously. In particular, we are able to construct a bounded linear extension operator such that the derivatives of the extended function can be controlled by the same order of derivatives of the given Sobolev functions. Theorems are stated and proved for weighted anisotropic Sobolev spaces on stratified groups.     

Invariant circles for homogeneous polynomial vector fields on the 2-dimensional sphere

LexX be a homogeneous polynomial vector field of degreen≥3 on S² having finitely many invariant circles. Then, for such a vector fieldX we find upper bounds for the number of invariant circles, invariant great circles, invariant circles intersecting at a same point and parallel circles with the same director vector. We give examples of homogeneous polynomial vector fields of degree 3 on S² having finitely many invariant circles which are not great circles, which are limit cycles, but are not great circles and invariant great circles that are limit cycles. Moreover, for the casen=3 we determine the maximum number of parallel invariant circles with the same director vector.

On projective symmetries on Finsler spaces

There are two definitions of Einstein-Finsler spaces introduced by Akbar-Zadeh, which we will show is equal along the integral curves of I-invariant projective vector fields. The sub-algebra of the C-projective vector fields, leaving the H-curvature invariant, has been studied extensively. Here we show on a closed Finsler space with negative definite Ricci curvature reduces to that of Killing vector fields. Moreover, if an Einstein-Finsler space admits such a projective vector field then the flag curvature is constant. Finally, a classification of compact isotropic mean Landsberg manifolds admitting certain projective vector fields is obtained with respect to the sign of Ricci curvature.     

A Comparison of Leibniz and Cyclic Homologies

We relate Leibniz homology to cyclic homology by studying a map from a long exact sequence in the Leibniz theory to the Connes' periodicity (ISB) exact sequence in the cyclic theory. We then show that the Godbillon–Vey invariant, as detected by the Leibniz homology of formal vector fields, maps to the Godbillon–Vey invariant as detected by the cyclic homology of the universal enveloping algebra of these vector fields. Additionally the Leibniz theory maps surjectively to string topology where the latter is expressed as cyclic homology.

Rotational invariance of quadromer correlations on the hexagonal lattice

In 1963 Fisher and Stephenson (Phys. Rev. (2) 132 (1963) 1411) conjectured that the monomer-monomer correlation on the square lattice is rotationally invariant. In this paper we prove a closely related statement on the hexagonal lattice. Namely, we consider correlations of two quadromers (four-vertex subgraphs consisting of a monomer and its three neighbors) and show that they are rotationally invariant.
