Conservation and bifurcation of an invariant torus of a vector field

We consider small perturbations with respect to a small parameter ε≥0 of a smooth vector field in ℝ^n+m possessing an invariant torusT ^m. The flow on the torusT ^m is assumed to be quasiperiodic withm basic frequencies satisfying certain conditions of Diophantine type; the matrix Ω of the variational equation with respect to the invariant torus is assumed to be constant. We investigate the existence problem for invariant tori of different dimensions for the case in which Ω is a nonsingular matrix that can have purely imaginary eigenvalues.

On the embedding problem with non-Abelian kernel of orderp 4. IV

In the present paper, the embedding problem is considered for number fields with p-groups whose kernel is either of two groups with two generators α and β and with the following relations: (1) α^ρ=1, α^ρ=1, [α,β,β]=1, [α,β,α,α]=1, or (2) α^ρ=[α, β α], β^ρ=1, [α,β,β]=1. It is shown that for the solvability of the original embedding problem it is necessary and sufficient to have the solvability of the associated Abelian and local problems for all completions of the base fields.

The initial boundary-value problem with a free surface condition for the penalized equations of aqueous solutions of polymers

In this paper, we study some nonlocal problems for the Kelvin-Voight equations (1) and the penalized Kelvin-Voight equations (2): the first and second initial boundary-value problems and the first and second time periodic boundary problems. We prove that these problems have global smooth solutions of the classW _∞ ¹ (ℝ⁺;W ₂ ^2+k (Ω)),k=1,2,...;Ω⊂ℝ³. Bibliography: 25 titles. Dedicated to N. N.

The number of components of complements to level surfaces of partially harmonic polynomials

In this paperk-harmonic polynomials in ℝ ⁿ , i.e. polynomials satisfying the Laplace equation with respect tok variables: ∂²/∂x ₁ ² +...+∂²/∂x _k ² F=0 are considered; here 1≤k≤n andn≥2. For a polynomialF (of degreem) of this type, it is proved that the number of components of the complements of its level sets does not exceed 2m ⁿ⁻¹+O(m ⁿ⁻²). Under the assumptions that the singular set of the level surface is compact or that the leading homogeneous part of thek-harmonic polynomialF is nondegenerate, sharper estimates are also established.

On the Holmgren-John uniqueness theorem for the wave equation with piecewise analytic coefficients

In this paper a uniqueness theorem is proved for the wave equation in the domain Q^2T=Ω×(0,2T), where Ω is a piecewise analytic Riemannian manifold (Riemannian polyhedron). Initial data are assumed to be given on a part Γ₀ × (0, 2T) of the space-time boundary of the cylinder Q^2T, Γ₀. The uniqueness of a weak solution is proved “in the large,” in a domain formed by the corresponding characteristics of the wave equation. Bibliography:24 titles.

Integral representations of functions and embeddings of sobolev spaces on cuspidal domains

Some classes of cuspidal domainsG ⊂ ℝ ⁿ are introduced, and embeddings of the formW _p ^(l) (G)↪L_q(G),l ∈ ℕ, for sobolev spaces are established. To this end, estimates of some integral operators are needed. These operators cannot be estimated via Riesz potentials or their anisotropic analogs.

An exact estimate of the boundary behavior of functions from hardy-sobolev classes in the critical case

In the critical case αp=n functions from the Hardy-Sobolev spacesH _α ^p (B ⁿ ) have a limit almost everywhere on the boundary along certain regions of exponential contact with the boundary. It is proved in the paper that the maximal operator associated with these regions is bounded as an operator fromH _α ^p (B ⁿ ) toL ^p (ϖB ⁿ ).

Strengthening theC t -closing lemma for dynamical systems and foliations on the torus

We prove a strengthenedC ^r -closing lemma (r≥1) for wandering chain recurrent trajectories of flows without equilibrium states on the two-dimensional torus and for wandering chain recurrent orbits of a diffeomorphism of the circle. The strengthenedC ^r -closing lemma (r≥1) is proved for a special class of infinitely smooth actions of the integer lattice ℤ ^k on the circle. The result is applied to foliations of codimension one with trivial holonomy group on the three-dimensional torus. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 61, No. 3, pp. 323–331, March, 1997.

On the discrete spectrum of a given SO(2) symmetry of multiparticle systems in potential and homogeneous magnetic fields

For a system of n identical particles in a homogeneous magnetic field, the discrete spectrum of the Hamiltonian H^{α, m} on the subspaces of functions with permutational symmetry α and rotational (SO(2)) symmetry m is studied as m→∞. It is proved that the discrete spectrum of the operator H^α,m contains only one eigenvalue if certain conditions are satisfied. The asymptotic behavior of this eigenvalue as m→∞ is found.

Functional equations for Hecke-Maaass series

The Dirichlet (Hecke-Maass) series associated with the eigenfuctionsf andg of the invariant differential operator Δ_k=−y²(∂²/∂x²)+iky∂/∂x of weightk are investigated. It is proved that any relation of the form (f/kM)=g for thek-action of the groupSL ₂ SL ₂(ℝ) is equivalent to a pair of functional equations relating the Hecke-Maass series forf andg and involving only traditional gamma factors.

Geometry of real grassmann manifolds. Parts I, II

The paper deals with the properties of the exterior algebra ℝ(Λⁿ) related to the Euclidean structure on ℝ(Λⁿ) induced by the scalar product in ℝ(Λⁿ). A geometric interpretation of inner multiplication for simple p-vectors is given. An invariant form of the Cartan criterion for the simplicity of a p-vector is given. The Plücker model realizing the real Grassmann manifold as a submanifold of the Euclidean space ℝ(Λⁿ), and an isometry of this submanifold onto the classical Grassmann manifold with SO(n)-invariant metric are described. A canonical decomposition of bivectors is given. Bibliography: 12 titles. Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 246, 1997, pp. 84–107. Translated by N. Yu: Netsvetaev.

Diophantine representations of linear recurrent sequences. II

Direct constructions of Diophantine representations for linear recurrent sequences are considered. Diophantine representations of the sets of values for third-order sequences with negative discriminants are found. As an auxiliary problem, we study the structure of the multiplicative group of the ringZ[λ], where λ is an invertible algebraic integer (unit) in a real quadratic field or in a cubic field of negative discriminant. The index of the subgroup {±λ ⁿ ∣n ∈Z} in the group (Z[λ])^* and the generator of (Z[λ])^* are evaluated explicitly. Bibliography: 14 titles.
