Cohomogeneity one actions on Minkowski spaces

We study isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the \((n+1)\)-dimensional Minkowski space \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) up to orbit-equivalence. We give examples of isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) whose orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. We show that there exist isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\), \(n \ge 3\), which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of an n-dimensional degenerate subspace \(\mathbb {W}^n\) of \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) and not orbit-equivalent on \(\mathbb {W}^n\). We classify isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^2\) and \(\mathbb {L}^3\) up to orbit-equivalence.     

Equilibrium Diffusion on the Cone of Discrete Radon Measures

Let \({\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})}\) denote the cone of discrete Radon measures on \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). There is a natural differentiation on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\): for a differentiable function \(F:\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\to \mathbb {R}\), one defines its gradient \(\nabla ^{\mathbb {K}}F\) as a vector field which assigns to each \(\eta \in \mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) an element of a tangent space \(T_{\eta }(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d}))\) to \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) at point η. Let \(\phi :\mathbb {R}^{d}\times \mathbb {R}^{d}\to \mathbb {R}\) be a potential of pair interaction, and let μ be a corresponding Gibbs perturbation of (the distribution of) a completely random measure on \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). In particular, μ is a probability measure on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) such that the set of atoms of a discrete measure \(\eta \in \mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) is μ-a.s. dense in \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). We consider the corresponding Dirichlet form

$$\mathcal{E}^{\mathbb{K}}(F,G)={\int}_{\mathbb K(\mathbb{R}^{d})}\langle\nabla^{\mathbb{K}} F(\eta), \nabla^{\mathbb{K}} G(\eta)\rangle_{T_{\eta}(\mathbb{K})}\,d\mu(\eta). $$

Integrating by parts with respect to the measure μ, we explicitly find the generator of this Dirichlet form. By using the theory of Dirichlet forms, we prove the main result of the paper: If d ≥ 2, there exists a conservative diffusion process on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) which is properly associated with the Dirichlet form \(\mathcal {E}^{\mathbb {K}}\).

     

Reproducing Kernel for the Herglotz Functions in $$\mathbb {R}^n$$ and Solutions of the Helmholtz Equation

The purpose of this article is to extend to \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) known results in dimension 2 concerning the structure of a Hilbert space with reproducing kernel of the space of Herglotz wave functions. These functions are the solutions of Helmholtz equation in \(\mathbb {R} ^{n}\) that are the Fourier transform of measures supported in the unit sphere with density in \(L^{2}(\mathbb {S}^{n-1})\). As a natural extension of this, we define Banach spaces of solutions of the Helmholtz equation in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) belonging to weighted Sobolev type spaces \(\mathcal {H}^{p}\) having in a non local norm that involves radial derivatives and spherical gradients. We calculate the reproducing kernel of the Herglotz wave functions and study in \(\mathcal {H}^{p}\) and in mixed norm spaces, the continuity of the orthogonal projection \(\mathcal {P}\) of \(\mathcal {H}^{2}\) onto the Herglotz wave functions.     

Existence and concentration of solution for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems with subquadratic potential

In this article, we consider the following fractional Hamiltonian systems:

$$\begin{aligned} {_{t}}D_{\infty }^{\alpha }({_{-\infty }}D_{t}^{\alpha }u) + \lambda L(t)u = \nabla W(t, u), \;\;t\in \mathbb {R}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in (1/2, 1)\), \(\lambda >0\) is a parameter, \(L\in C(\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {R}^{n\times n})\) and \(W \in C^{1}(\mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^n, \mathbb {R})\). Unlike most other papers on this problem, we require that L(t) is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\), that is, \(L(t) \equiv 0\) is allowed to occur in some finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\) of \(\mathbb {R}\). Under some mild assumptions on W, we establish the existence of nontrivial weak solution, which vanish on \(\mathbb {R} \setminus \mathbb {I}\) as \(\lambda \rightarrow \infty ,\) and converge to \(\tilde{u}\) in \(H^{\alpha }(\mathbb {R})\); here \(\tilde{u} \in E_{0}^{\alpha }\) is nontrivial weak solution of the Dirichlet BVP for fractional Hamiltonian systems on the finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\). Furthermore, we give the multiplicity results for the above fractional Hamiltonian systems.

     

On the horizontal diameter of the unit sphere

For a singular Riemannian foliation \(\mathcal {F}\) on a Riemannian manifold M, a curve is called horizontal if it meets the leaves of \(\mathcal {F}\) perpendicularly. For a singular Riemannian foliation \(\mathcal {F}\) on a unit sphere \(\mathbb {S}^{n}\), we show that if \(\mathcal {F}\) satisfies some properties, then the horizontal diameter of \(\mathbb {S}^{n}\) is \(\pi \), i.e., any two points in \(\mathbb {S}^{n}\) can be connected by a horizontal curve of length \(\le \pi \).     

On height isotopy classes of embeddings in the plane of a Morse function of a circle

Let \(\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\) be a set of stable Morse functions of an oriented circle such that the number of singular points is \(2n\in \mathbb {N}\) and the order of singular values satisfies the particular condition. For an orthogonal projection \(\pi :\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), let \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) be embedding lifts of f. If there is an ambient isotopy \(\tilde{\varphi }_t:\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) \((t\in [0,1])\) such that \({\pi \circ \tilde{\varphi }}_t(y_1,y_2)=y_1\) and \(\tilde{\varphi }_1\circ {\tilde{f}}_0={\tilde{f}}_1\), we say that \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1\) are height isotopic. We define a function \(I:\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\rightarrow \mathbb {N}\) as follows: I(f) is the number of height isotopy classes of embeddings such that each rotation number is one. In this paper, we determine the maximal value of the function I equals the n-th Baxter number and the minimal value equals \(2^{n-1}\).     

On the Chaoticity of Some Tensor Product Weighted Backward Shift Operators Acting on Some Tensor Product Fock–Bargmann Spaces

In Advances in Mathematical Physics (2011) we showed that the weighted shift \(z^{p}\frac{d^{p+1}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) acting on classical Bargmann space \(\mathbb {B}_{p}\) is chaotic operator. In Journal of Mathematical physics (2014), we constructed an chaotic weighted shift \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) on some lattice Fock–Bargmann \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\) generated by the orthonormal basis \( {e_{m}^{(\alpha ,p)}(z) = e_{m}^{\alpha } ; m=p, p+1,\ldots }\) where \( {e_{m}^{\alpha }(z) = (\frac{2\nu }{\pi })^{1/4}e^{\frac{\nu }{2}z^{2}}e^{-\frac{\pi ^{2}}{\nu }(m +\alpha )^{2} +2i\pi (m +\alpha )z}; m \in \mathbb {N}}\) with \(\nu , \alpha \) are real numbers; \(\nu > 0\), \(\mathbb {M}\) is an weighted shift and \(\mathbb {M^{*}}\) is the adjoint of the \(\mathbb {M}\). In this paper we study the chaoticity of tensor product \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1}\otimes z^{p}\frac{d^{p}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2, \ldots )\) acting on \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\otimes \mathbb {B}_{p}\).     

Sparse Recovery from Inaccurate Saturated Measurements

This article studies a variation of the standard compressive sensing problem, in which sparse vectors \(\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^{N}\) are acquired through inaccurate saturated measurements \(\mathbf{y}= \mathcal{S}(\mathbf {A}\mathbf{x}+ \mathbf{e}) \in\mathbb{R}^{m}\), \(m \ll N\). The saturation function \(\mathcal{S}\) acts componentwise by sending entries that are large in absolute value to plus-or-minus a threshold while keeping the other entries unchanged. The present study focuses on the effect of the presaturation error \(\mathbf{e}\in\mathbb{R}^{m}\). The existing theory for accurate saturated measurements, i.e., the case \(\mathbf{e}= \mathbf{0}\), which exhibits two regimes depending on the magnitude of \(\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb {R}^{N}\), is extended here. A recovery procedure based on convex optimization is proposed and shown to be robust to presaturation error in both regimes. Another procedure ignoring the presaturation error is also analyzed and shown to be robust in the small magnitude regime.     

Sign-changing solutions to a partially periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in domains with unbounded boundary

We consider the problem

$$\begin{aligned} -\Delta u+\left( V_{\infty }+V(x)\right) u=|u|^{p-2}u,\quad u\in H_{0} ^{1}(\Omega ), \end{aligned}$$

where \(\Omega \) is either \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\) or a smooth domain in \(\mathbb {R} ^{N}\) with unbounded boundary, \(N\ge 3,\) \(V_{\infty }>0,\) \(V\in \mathcal {C} ^{0}(\mathbb {R}^{N}),\) \(\inf _{\mathbb {R}^{N}}V>-V_{\infty }\) and \(2<p<\frac{2N}{N-2}\). We assume V is periodic in the first m variables, and decays exponentially to zero in the remaining ones. We also assume that \(\Omega \) is periodic in the first m variables and has bounded complement in the other ones. Then, assuming that \(\Omega \) and V are invariant under some suitable group of symmetries on the last \(N-m\) coordinates of \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\), we establish existence and multiplicity of sign-changing solutions to this problem. We show that, under suitable assumptions, there is a combined effect of the number of periodic variables and the symmetries of the domain on the number of sign-changing solutions to this problem. This number is at least \(m+1\)

     

Construction of sign-changing solutions for a harmonic equation with subcritical exponent

In this paper, we study the harmonic equation involving subcritical exponent \((P_{\varepsilon })\): \( \Delta u = 0 \), in \(\mathbb {B}^n\) and \(\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu } + \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2}u = \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2} K u^{\frac{n}{n-2}-\varepsilon }\) on \( \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) where \(\mathbb {B}^n \) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\), \(n\ge 5\) with Euclidean metric \(g_0\), \(\partial \mathbb {B}^n = \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) is its boundary, K is a function on \(\mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) and \(\varepsilon \) is a small positive parameter. We construct solutions of the subcritical equation \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which blow up at two different critical points of K. Furthermore, we construct solutions of \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which have two bubbles and blow up at the same critical point of K.     

Stability properties and gap theorem for complete f-minimal hypersurfaces

In this paper, we study complete oriented f -minimal hypersurfaces properly immersed in a cylinder shrinking soliton \((\mathbb{S}^n \times \mathbb{R},\bar g,f)\).We prove that such hypersurface with L _f -index one must be either \(\mathbb{S}^n \times \{ 0\}\) or \(\mathbb{S}^{n - 1} \times \mathbb{R}\), where \({S}^{n - 1}\) denotes the sphere in \(\mathbb{S}^n\) of the same radius. Also we prove a pinching theorem for them.     

Estimates for coefficients of certain <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

Let \(\pi _{\varphi }\) (or \(\pi _{\psi }\)) be an automorphic cuspidal representation of \(\text {GL}_{2} (\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\) associated to a primitive Maass cusp form \(\varphi \) (or \(\psi \)), and \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\) be the jth symmetric power lift of \(\pi _{\varphi }\). Let \(a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)\) denote the nth Dirichlet series coefficient of the principal L-function associated to \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\). In this paper, we study first moments of Dirichlet series coefficients of automorphic representations \(\mathrm{sym}^3 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{4}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\), and \(\pi _{\psi }\otimes \mathrm{sym}^2 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{6}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\). For \(3 \le j \le 8\), estimates for \(|a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)|\) on average over a short interval have also been established.     

On the Heat Equation with Nonlinearity and Singular Anisotropic Potential on the Boundary

This paper concerns with the heat equation in the half-space \(\mathbb {R}_{+}^{n}\) with nonlinearity and singular potential on the boundary \(\partial \mathbb {R}_{+}^{n}\). We show a well-posedness result that allows us to consider critical potentials with infinite many singularities and anisotropy. Motivated by potential profiles of interest, the analysis is performed in weak L ^p -spaces in which we prove linear estimates for some boundary operators arising from the Duhamel integral formulation in \(\mathbb {R}_{+}^{n}\). Moreover, we investigate qualitative properties of solutions like self-similarity, positivity and symmetry around the axis \(\overrightarrow {Ox_{n}}\).     

Absolute continuity and singularity of Palm measures of the Ginibre point process

We prove a dichotomy between absolute continuity and singularity of the Ginibre point process \(\mathsf {G}\) and its reduced Palm measures \(\{\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {x}}, \mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {C}^{\ell }, \ell = 0,1,2\ldots \}\), namely, reduced Palm measures \(\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {x}}\) and \(\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {y}}\) for \(\mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {C}^{\ell }\) and \(\mathbf {y} \in \mathbb {C}^{n}\) are mutually absolutely continuous if and only if \(\ell = n\); they are singular each other if and only if \(\ell \not = n\). Furthermore, we give an explicit expression of the Radon–Nikodym density \(d\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {x}}/d \mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {y}}\) for \(\mathbf {x}, \mathbf {y} \in \mathbb {C}^{\ell }\).     

On Lipschitz continuity of solutions of hyperbolic Poisson’s equation

In this paper, we investigate solutions of the hyperbolic Poisson equation \(\Delta _{h}u(x)=\psi (x)\), where \(\psi \in L^{\infty }(\mathbb {B}^{n}, {\mathbb R}^n)\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta _{h}u(x)= (1-|x|^2)^2\Delta u(x)+2(n-2)\left( 1-|x|^2\right) \sum _{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}(x) \end{aligned}$$

is the hyperbolic Laplace operator in the n-dimensional space \(\mathbb {R}^n\) for \(n\ge 2\). We show that if \(n\ge 3\) and \(u\in C^{2}(\mathbb {B}^{n},{\mathbb R}^n) \cap C(\overline{\mathbb {B}^{n}},{\mathbb R}^n )\) is a solution to the hyperbolic Poisson equation, then it has the representation \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{ h}[\psi ]\) provided that \(u\mid _{\mathbb {S}^{n-1}}=\phi \) and \(\int _{\mathbb {B}^{n}}(1-|x|^{2})^{n-1} |\psi (x)|\,d\tau (x)<\infty \). Here \(P_{h}\) and \(G_{h}\) denote Poisson and Green integrals with respect to \(\Delta _{h}\), respectively. Furthermore, we prove that functions of the form \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{h}[\psi ]\) are Lipschitz continuous.

     

Maps Preserving Moment Sequences

For any sequence s of real numbers, we consider the class \(\mathcal {L}\) of maps (from \(\mathbb {R}^{\mathbb {N}_0}\) to \(\mathbb {R}^{\mathbb {N}_0}\)) that linearly combine a finite or infinite number of elements of s to obtain the new values of the transformed sequence. We characterize those maps in \(\mathcal {L}\) that transform moment sequences into moment sequences in terms of the existence of a stochastic process fulfilling appropriate requirements. Then, well-known stochastic processes are used to construct significant examples of such preserving mappings. As application, we also show that some celebrated numerical sequences (including several important combinatorial sequences) are actually transformed moment sequences.     

A Mountain Pass-type Theorem for Vector-valued Functions

The mountain pass theorem for scalar functionals is a fundamental result of the minimax methods in variational analysis. In this work we extend this theorem to the class of \(\mathcal{C}^{1}\) functions \(f:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{m}\), where the image space is ordered by the nonnegative orthant \(\mathbb{R}_{+}^{m}\). Under suitable geometrical assumptions, we prove the existence of a critical point of f and we localize this point as a solution of a minimax problem. We remark that the considered minimax problem consists of an inner vector maximization problem and of an outer set-valued minimization problem. To deal with the outer set-valued problem we use an ordering relation among subsets of \(\mathbb{R}^{m}\) introduced by Kuroiwa. In order to prove our result, we develop an Ekeland-type principle for set-valued maps and we extensively use the notion of vector pseudogradient.     

Positive Systems of Kostant Roots

Let \(\mathfrak {g}\) be a simple complex Lie algebra and let \(\mathfrak {t} \subset \mathfrak {g}\) be a toral subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\). As a \(\mathfrak {t}\)-module \(\mathfrak {g}\) decomposes as

$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s} \oplus \left( \oplus_{\nu \in \mathcal{R}}~ \mathfrak{g}^{\nu}\right)$$

where \(\mathfrak {s} \subset \mathfrak {g}\) is the reductive part of a parabolic subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\) and \(\mathcal {R}\) is the Kostant root system associated to \(\mathfrak {t}\). When \(\mathfrak {t}\) is a Cartan subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\) the decomposition above is nothing but the root decomposition of \(\mathfrak {g}\) with respect to \(\mathfrak {t}\); in general the properties of \(\mathcal {R}\) resemble the properties of usual root systems. In this note we study the following problem: “Given a subset \(\mathcal {S} \subset \mathcal {R}\), is there a parabolic subalgebra \(\mathfrak {p}\) of \(\mathfrak {g}\) containing \(\mathcal {M} = \oplus _{\nu \in \mathcal {S}} \mathfrak {g}^{\nu }\) and whose reductive part equals \(\mathfrak {s}\)?”. Our main results is that, for a classical simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {g}\) and a saturated \(\mathcal {S} \subset \mathcal {R}\), the condition \((\text {Sym}^{\cdot }(\mathcal {M}))^{\mathfrak {s}} = \mathbb {C}\) is necessary and sufficient for the existence of such a \(\mathfrak {p}\). In contrast, we show that this statement is no longer true for the exceptional Lie algebras F₄,E₆,E₇, and E₈. Finally, we discuss the problem in the case when \(\mathcal {S}\) is not saturated.

     

Multi-bump solitons to linearly coupled systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations

This paper is devoted to study a class of systems of nonlinear Schrödinger equations: \(\left\{\begin{array}{rcl} -\Delta u+u-u^{3}=\epsilon v, \\ -\Delta v+v-v^{3}=\epsilon u, \end{array}\right.\) in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) with dimension n = 1,2,3. Our main result states that if \(\mathcal{P}\) denotes a regular polytope centered at the origin of \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\) such that its side is greater than the radius, then there exists a solution with one multi-bump component having bumps located near the vertices of \(\xi\mathcal{P}\), where \({\xi\sim \log(1/\varepsilon)}\), while the other component has one negative peak.     

On some constacyclic codes over $$\mathbb {Z}_{4}\left[ u\right] /\left\langle u^{2}-1\right\rangle $$, their $$\mathbb {Z}_4$$Z4 images,and new codes

In this paper, we study \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over the ring \(R=\mathbb {Z}_4+u\mathbb {Z}_4\) where \(u^{2}=1\), for \(\lambda =3+2u\) and \(2+3u\). Two new Gray maps from R to \(\mathbb {Z}_4^{3}\) are defined with the goal of obtaining new linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_4\). The Gray images of \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over R are determined. We then conducted a computer search and obtained many \(\lambda \)-constacyclic codes over R whose \(\mathbb {Z}_4\)-images have better parameters than currently best-known linear codes over \(\mathbb {Z}_4\).
