Représentations de Gelfand–Graev pour les groupes réductifs non connexesGelfand–Graev representations for non connected reductive groups

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over $\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{q}}$ and let F be the corresponding Frobenius endomorphism. Let σ be a quasi-central rational automorphism of G. We define in this article Gelfand–Graev representations of the group $\text{G}{}^{\mathrm{F}}\text{=G}{}^{\mathrm{F}}\text{.〈σ〉}$ when σ is unipotent and when it is semi-simple. We show that they have similar properties to Gelfand–Graev representations of the group G^F. To cite this article: K Sorlin, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 179–184.     

Uncertainty principle and Lp–Lq-sufficient pairs on noncompact real symmetric spaces

We consider a real semi-simple Lie group G with finite center and a maximal compact sub-group K of G. Let $\text{G=K}\text{exp}\text{(}\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{+}}\text{)K}$ be a Cartan decomposition of G. For x∈G denote ∥x∥ the norm of the $\text{a}{}_{\mathrm{+}}$-component of x in the Cartan decomposition of G. Let $\text{a>0,}\text{b>0}$ and 1?p,q?∞. In this Note we give necessary and sufficient conditions on $\text{a,}\text{b}$ such that for all K-bi-invariant measurable function f on G, if e^a∥x∥2f∈L^p(G) and then f=0 almost everywhere.

Some pathologies in the Mackey analysis for a certain nonseparable group

Suppose G is a separable locally compact group and N is a closed normal subgroup. If the dual N? is smooth and the orbit space $\text{N}\text{?}\text{G}$ is smooth for the natural action of G on $\text{N}\text{?}\text{(L}{}^{\mathrm{x}}\text{(n) = L(xnx}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{))}$, the method of G. W. Mackey (Acta Math.99 (1958), 265–311) gives a fairly simple procedure for constructing the dual ?. In this paper we examine an example which shows that the nonseparable case is much more complicated. In the example, N is abelian, $\text{N}\text{?}\text{G}$ is finite and even when the stabilizer is N there are many irreducible representations of G associated with the same orbit.     

Levi-flat extensions from a part of the boundary

Let G be a bounded domain in $\text{C}\text{×}\text{R}$ such that $\text{G×}\text{R}\text{?}\text{C}{}^2$ is strictly pseudoconvex and U an open subset of bG. We define an open subset $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}$ of $\text{G}$ with the property $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}\text{∩bG=U}$ such that the following extension theorem holds true: for every ?∈C(U) there exist two functions $\text{Φ}{}^{\mathrm{\pm }}\text{∈C(Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}\text{)}$ such that Φ^±|_U=? and the graphs Γ(Φ^±) of Φ^± are Levi-flat over $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}\text{∩G}$. Moreover, for each $\text{Φ∈C(Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}\text{)}$ such that Φ|_U=? and Γ(Φ) is Levi-flat over $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}\text{∩G}$ one has Φ^??Φ?Φ⁺ on $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}$. We also show that if G is diffeomorphic to a 3-ball and U is the union of simply-connected domains each of which is contained either in the “upper” or in the “lower” part of bG (with respect to the u-direction), then $\text{Ω}{}^{\mathrm{U}}$ is the maximal domain of Levi-flat extensions for some function ?∈C(U).

One determines the cohomology groups $\text{H}{}^{\mathrm{i}}\text{(X,}\text{L}\text{)}$ of any invertible sheaf $\text{L}$ on X, as $\text{G}\text{×}\text{G}$-modules. To cite this article: A.

The minimal generating space of a polynomial

Given a polynomial $\text{P(X}{}_1\text{,…,X}{}_{\mathrm{N}}\text{)∈}\text{R}\text{[}\text{X}\text{]}$, we calculate a subspace G_p of the linear space 〈X〉 generated by the indeterminates which is minimal with respect to the property $\text{P∈}\text{R}\text{[}\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{p}}\text{]}$ (the algebra generated by G_p, and prove its uniqueness. Furthermore, we use this result to characterize the pairs (P,Q) of polynomials P(X₁,…,X_n) and Q(X₁,…,X_n) for which there exists an isomorphism T:〈X〉 →〈X〉 that “separates P from Q,” i.e., such that for some k(1<k<n) we can write P and Q as $\text{P}{}^1\text{(Y}{}_1\text{,…,Y}{}_{\mathrm{k}}\text{)}$ and $\text{Q}{}^1\text{(Y}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>k+</mtext><mtext>1</mtext>}}\text{,…,Y}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{)}$ respectively, where $\text{Y}\text{=T}\text{X}$.     

Sufficiency and invariance

Suppose that a statistical decision problem is invariant under a group of transformations g?G. T (X) is equivariant if there exists $\text{g}{}^1\text{? G}{}^1$ such that $\text{T(g(X)) = g}{}^1\text{(T((X))}$. We show that the minimal sufficient statistic is equivalent and that if T(X) is an equivariant sufficient statistics and d(X) is invariant under G, then $\text{d}{}^1\text{(T) = Ed(X)∥T}$ is invariant under $\text{G}{}^1$.     

Qualitative behavior of special functions on compact symmetric spaces

For a symmetric space $\text{G}\text{K}$ of compact type, the highest-weight vectors for representations of G occurring in $\text{L}{}^2\text{(G}\text{K)}$ become heavily concentrated near certain submanifolds of $\text{G}\text{K}$ as the highest weight goes to infinity. This fact is applied to obtain estimates for the spectral measures of the operators qλ = P_λqP_λ, where $\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}\text{: L}{}^2\text{(}\text{G}\text{K}\text{) → V}{}_{\mathrm{\lambda }}$ is an orthogonal projection onto a G-irreducible summand, and q: G/K → $\text{R}$ is a continuous function acting on $\text{L}{}^2\text{(G}\text{K)}$ by multiplication.     

Best pseudo-isolated Gerschgorin disks for Eigenvalues

Let A be an arbitrary n×n matrix, partitioned so that if A=[A_ij], then all submatrices A_ii are square. If x is a positive vector, it is well-known that $\text{G(}\text{x}\text{) =∪}{}^{\mathrm{N}}{}_{\mathrm{i=1}}\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{(}\text{x}\text{)}$, where

$\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{(}\text{x}\text{) =}\text{z}\text{6(zI ? A}{}_{\mathrm{ii}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{6}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{?}\text{1}\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{∑}\text{j = 1}\text{j ≠ i}\text{N}\text{`6A}{}_{\mathrm{ij}}\text{6x}{}_{\mathrm{j}}$

, contains all the eigenvalues of A. The purpose of this paper is to give a new definition of the concept of an isolated subregion of G(x). An algorithm is given for obtaining the best such isolated subregion in a certain sense, and examples are given to show that tighter bounds for some eigenvalues of A may be obtained than with previous algorithms. For ease of computation, each subregion G_i(x) is replaced by the union of circular disks centered at the eigenvalues of A_ii.     

Positive definite distributions on K\GK

Let G be a semisimple noncompact Lie group with finite center and let K be a maximal compact subgroup. Then W. H. Barker has shown that if T is a positive definite distribution on G, then T extends to Harish-Chandra's Schwartz space $\text{C}$¹(G). We show that the corresponding property is no longer true for the space of double cosets $\text{K}\text{G}\text{K}$. If G is of real-rank 1, we construct liner functionals $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{p}}\text{? (C}{}_{\mathrm{c}}{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{(K}\text{G}\text{K}\text{))′}$ for each p, 0 < p ? 2, such that $\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{p}}\text{(f 1 f}{}^1\text{) ? 0, ?f ? C}{}_{\mathrm{c}}{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{(K}\text{G}\text{K}\text{)}$ but T_p does not extend to a continuous functional on $\text{C}{}^{\mathrm{p}}\text{(K}\text{G}\text{K}\text{)}$. In particular, if p ? 1, T_v does not extend to a continuous functional on $\text{C}{}^1\text{(K}\text{G}\text{K}\text{)}$. We use this to answer a question (in the negative) raised by Barker whether for a K-bi-invariant distribution T on G to be positive definite it is enough to verify that $\text{T(f 1 f}{}^1\text{) ? 0, ?f ? C}{}_{\mathrm{c}}{}^{\mathrm{\infty }}\text{(K}\text{G}\text{K}\text{)}$. The main tool used is a theorem of Trombi-Varadarajan.     

K-duality for pseudomanifolds with an isolated singularity

We associate to a pseudomanifold X with an isolated singularity a differentiable groupoid G which plays the role of the tangent space of X. We construct a Dirac element D and a Dual Dirac element λ which induce a Poincaré duality in K-theory between the $\text{C}{}^1$-algebras C(X) and $\text{C}{}^1\text{(G)}$. To cite this article: C.

The asymptotic eigenvalue-distribution for a certain class of random matrices

For an n × n Hermitean matrix A with eigenvalues λ₁, …, λ_n the eigenvalue-distribution is defined by $\text{G(x, A) :=}\text{1}\text{n}$ · number {λ_i: λ_i ? x} for all real x. Let A_n for n = 1, 2, … be an n × n matrix, whose entries a_ik are for i, k = 1, …, n independent complex random variables on a probability space (Ω, $\text{R}$, p) with the same distribution F_a. Suppose that all moments $\text{E}$ | a | ^k, k = 1, 2, … are finite, $\text{E}$a=0 and $\text{E}$ | a | ². Let

$\text{M(A)=}\text{∑}\text{σ=1}\text{s}\text{θ}{}_{\mathrm{\sigma }}\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{\sigma }}\text{(A,A}{}^1\text{)}$

with complex numbers θ_σ and finite products P_σ of factors A and $\text{A}{}^1$ (= Hermitean conjugate) be a function which assigns to each matrix A an Hermitean matrix M(A). The following limit theorem is proved: There exists a distribution function G₀(x) = G₁x) + G₂(x), where G₁ is a step function and G₂ is absolutely continuous, such that with probability $\text{1 G(x, M(}\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{n}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{))}$ converges to G₀(x) as n → ∞ for all continuity points x of G₀. The density g of G₂ vanishes outside a finite interval. There are only finitely many jumps of G₁. Both, G₁ and G₂, can explicitly be expressed by means of a certain algebraic function f, which is determined by equations, which can easily be derived from the special form of M(A). This result is analogous to Wigner's semicircle theorem for symmetric random matrices (E. P. Wigner, Random matrices in physics, SIAM Review9 (1967), 1–23). The examples $\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{r}}\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{1r}}$, $\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{r}}\text{+ A}{}^{\mathrm{1r}}$, $\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{r}}\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{1r}}\text{± A}{}^{\mathrm{1r}}\text{A}{}^{\mathrm{r}}$, r = 1, 2, …, are discussed in more detail. Some inequalities for random matrices are derived. It turns out that with probability 1 the sharpened form

$\text{lim sup}\text{n→∞}\text{∑}\text{i=1}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{|γ}{}_{\mathrm{i}}{}^{\mathrm{(n)}}\text{|}{}^2\text{?6A}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{6}{}^2\text{? 0.8228…}$

of Schur's inequality for the eigenvalues λ_i⁽ⁿ⁾ of A_n holds. Consequently random matrices do not tend to be normal matrices for large n.

Consider a wildly ramified G-Galois cover of curves $\text{φ:Y→}\text{P}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{k}}$ branched at only one point over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p.

Further results on graph equations for line graphs and n-th power graphs

We present solutions of seven graph equations involving the line graph, complement and n-th power operations. One such equation $\text{L(G)}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{=}\text{G}\text{?}$ generalizes a result of M. Aigner. In addition, some comments are made about graphs satisfying $\text{G}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{=}\text{G}\text{?}$.     

Trace formulas for a class of Toeplitz-like operators II

Let P_T denote the orthogonal projection of L²(R¹, dΔ) onto the space of entire functions of exponential type ? T which are square summable on the line with respect to the measure $\text{dΔ(γ) = ¦ h(γ)¦}{}^2\text{dγ}$, and let G denote the operator of multiplication by a suitably restricted complex valued function g. It is shown that if $\text{(γ}{}^2\text{+ 1)}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{log}\text{¦ h(γ)¦}$ is summable, if $\text{¦ h ¦}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}$ is locally summable, and if $\text{h}\text{h}{}^{\mathrm{\#}}$ belongs to the span in L^∞ of e^?iyTH^∞:T ? 0, in which h is chosen to be an outer function and h^#(γ) agrees with the complex conjugate of h(γ) on the line, then

$\text{lim trace}\text{T↑∞}\text{{(P}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{GP}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{? P}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{G}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{T}}\text{}}$

exists and is independent of h for every positive integer n. This extends the range of validity of a formula due to Mark Kac who evaluated this limit in the special case h = 1 using a different formalism. It also extends earlier results of the author which were established under more stringent conditions on h. The conclusions are based in part upon a preliminary study of a more general class of projections.
