Global solvability for a class of overdetermined systems

In this work we consider systems of two smooth vector fields on the three-dimensional torus associated to a closed 1-form. We prove that, for such systems, the global solvability in the space of smooth functions is characterized by the property of all the sublevel and superlevel sets of a certain primitive of the 1-form being connected.     

Global Analytic Regularity for Structures of Co-Rank One

We consider real analytic involutive structures 𝒱, of co-rank one, defined on a real analytic paracompact orientable manifold M. To each such structure we associate certain connected subsets of M which we call the level sets of 𝒱. We prove that analytic regularity propagates along them. With a further assumption on the level sets of 𝒱 we characterize the global analytic hypoellipticity of a differential operator naturally associated to 𝒱.

As an application we study a case of tube structures.     

Complex Cauchy Problems with Intersecting Singularities

We consider linear Cauchy problems of order two in a complex domain. We assume that the initial values have singularities along a family of hypersurfaces, which cross pairwise transversally along a single intersection. We study the propagation of the singularities of the solution. We show that the solution may have anomalous singularities, and study the monodromy of the solution.     

Resolution of singularities of real-analytic vector fields in dimension three

Let χ be an analytic vector field defined in a real-analytic manifold of dimension three. We prove that all the singularities of χ can be made elementary by a finite number of blowing-ups in the ambient space. This work has been partially supported by the CNPq/Brasil Grant 205904/2003-5 and Fapesp Grant 02/03769-9.     

Minimal unit vector fields with respect to Riemannian natural metrics

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. We denote by $\stackrel{?}{G}$ an arbitrary Riemannian g-natural metric on the unit tangent sphere bundle $T_{1}M$, such metric depends on four real parameters satisfying some inequalities. The Sasaki metric, the Cheeger–Gromoll metric and the Kaluza–Klein metrics are special Riemannian g-natural metrics. In literature, minimal unit vector fields have been already investigated, considering $T_{1}M$ equipped with the Sasaki metric ${\stackrel{?}{G}}_S$ [12]. In this paper we extend such characterization to an arbitrary Riemannian g-natural metric $\stackrel{?}{G}$. In particular, the minimality condition with respect to the Sasaki metric ${\stackrel{?}{G}}_S$ is invariant under a two-parameters deformation of the Sasaki metric. Moreover, we show that a minimal unit vector field (with respect to $\stackrel{?}{G}$) corresponds to a minimal submanifold. Then, we give examples of minimal unit vector fields (with respect to $\stackrel{?}{G}$). In particular, we get that the Hopf vector fields of the unit sphere, the Reeb vector field of a K-contact manifold, and the Hopf vector field of a quasi-umbilical hypersurface with constant principal curvatures in a Kähler manifold, are minimal unit vector fields (with respect to $\stackrel{?}{G}$).     

Solvability of a first order differential operator on the two-torus

Global solvability on the two-torus of a first order differential operator with complex coefficients is investigated. Diophantine properties of the coefficients are linked to the solvability.     

Polynomial approximation on infinite intervals with weights having inner zeros

We generalize Laguerre weights on R⁺ by multiplying them by translations of finitely many Freud type weights which have singularities, and prove polynomial approximation theorems in the corresponding weighted spaces. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The Dirac spectrum on manifolds with gradient conformal vector fields

We show that the Dirac operator on a spin manifold does not admit L² eigenspinors provided the metric has a certain asymptotic behaviour and is a warped product near infinity. These conditions on the metric are fulfilled in particular if the manifold is complete and carries a non-complete vector field which outside a compact set is gradient conformal and non-vanishing.     

Energy of Radial Vector Fields on Compact Rank One Symmetric Spaces

We consider the energy (or the total bending) of unit vector fields oncompact Riemannian manifolds for which the set of its singularitiesconsists of a finite number of isolated points and a finite number ofpairwise disjoint closed submanifolds. We determine lower bounds for theenergy of such vector fields on general compact Riemannian manifolds andin particular on compact rank one symmetric spaces. For this last classof spaces, we compute explicit expressions for the total bending whenthe unit vector field is the gradient field of the distance function toa point or to special totally geodesic submanifolds (i.e., for radialunit vector fields around this point or these submanifolds).     

Analytic Hypoellipticity at Non-Symplectic Poisson-Treves Strata for Certain Sums of Squares of Vector Fields

We consider an operator P which is a sum of squares of vector fields with analytic coefficients. The operator has a non-symplectic characteristic manifold, but the rank of the symplectic form σ is not constant on Char P. Moreover the Hamilton foliation of the non-symplectic stratum of the Poisson-Treves stratification for P consists of closed curves in a ring-shaped open set around the origin. We prove that then P is analytic hypoelliptic on that open set. And we note explicitly that the local Gevrey hypoellipticity for P is G ^k+1 and that this is sharp.      

Limit behavior of global attractors for the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation on infinite lattices

In this work, the authors first show the existence of global attractors for the following lattice complex Ginzburg–Landau equation:

and for the following lattice Schrödinger equation:

Then they prove that the solutions of the lattice complex Ginzburg–Landau equation converge to that of the lattice Schrödinger equation as ε→0+. Also they prove the upper semicontinuity of as ε→0+ in the sense that .     

Nonexistence of complete conformal metrics with prescribed scalar curvatures on a manifold of nonpositive curvature

Let (M,g) be a complete simply-connected Riemannian manifold with nonpositive curvature, k its scalar curvature, and K a smooth function on M. We obtain a nonexistence result of complete metrics on M conformal to g and with K as their scalar curvature.     

The Infimum of the Energy of Unit Vector Fields on Odd-Dimensional Spheres

We construct a one-parameter family of unit smooth vector fieldsglobally defined on the sphere ^2k+1 for k 2, with energyconverging to the energy of the unit radial vector field, which isdefined on the complementary of two antipodal points. So we prove thatthe infimum of the energy of globally defined unit smooth vector fieldsis

Homology of the Lie algebra of vector fields on the line with coefficients in symmetric powers of its adjoint representation

We compute the homology of the Lie algebra W ₁ of (polynomial) vector fields on the line with coefficients in symmetric powers of its adjoint representation. We also list the results obtained so far for the homology with coefficients in tensor powers and, in turn, use them for partially computing the homology of the Lie algebra of W ₁-valued currents on the line.     

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.

On the index of finite determinacy of vector fields with resonances

In this paper we study normal forms for a class of germs of 1-resonant vector fields on R^n with mutually different eigenvalues which may admit extraneous resonance relations. We give an estimation on the index of finite determinacy from above as well as the essentially simplified polynomial normal forms for such vector fields. In the case that a vector field has a zero eigenvalue, the result leads to an interesting corollary, a linear dependence of the derivatives of the hyperbolic variables on the central variable.
