On Differentiable Compactifications of the Hyperbolic Plane and Algebraic Actions of SL2(\mathbb R) on Surfaces

Real-analytic actions of SL(2;R) on surfaces have been classified, up to analytic change of coordinates. In particular it is known that there exists countably many analytic equivariant compactification of the isometric action on the hyperbolic plane. In this paper we study the algebraicity of these actions. We get a classification of the algebraic actions of SL(2,R) on surfaces. In particular, we classify the algebraic equivariant compactifications of the hyperbolic plane. An erratum to this article can be found at     

Navigating in the Cayley Graphs of {\rm SL}_{N}(\mathbb{Z}) and {\rm SL}_{N}(\mathbb{F}_{p})

We give a nondeterministic algorithm that expresses elements of , for N ≥ 3, as words in a finite set of generators, with the length of these words at most a constant times the word metric. We show that the nondeterministic time-complexity of the subtractive version of Euclid’s algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor of N ≥ 3 integers a₁, ..., a_N is at most a constant times . This leads to an elementary proof that for N ≥ 3 the word metric in is biLipschitz equivalent to the logarithm of the matrix norm – an instance of a theorem of Mozes, Lubotzky and Raghunathan. And we show constructively that there exists K>0 such that for all N ≥ 3 and primes p, the diameter of the Cayley graph of with respect to the generating set is at most .Mathematics Subject Classification: 20F05     

Simplicial volume of locally symmetric spaces covered by $${\rm SL}_{3}{\mathbb{R}}/{\rm SO}(3)$$

We give the first complete proof of the strict positivity of the simplicial volume of compact locally symmetric spaces covered by and show why the proof in [Savage RP, Trans Amer Math Soc 274(1):239–263, 1982] is incorrect.      

On free $${\mathbb{Z}_{p}}$$ actions on products of spheres

In this paper we consider free actions of large prime order cyclic groups on the product of any number of spheres of the same odd dimension and on products of two spheres of differing odd dimensions. We require only that the action be free on the product as a whole and not each sphere separately. In particular we determine equivariant homotopy type, and for both linear actions and for even numbers of spheres the simple homotopy type and simple structure sets. The results are compared to the analysis and classification done for lens spaces. Similar to lens spaces, the first k-invariant generally determines the homotopy type of many of the quotient spaces, however, the Reidemeister torsion frequently vanishes and many of the homotopy equivalent spaces are also simple homotopy equivalent. Unlike lens spaces, which are determined by their ρ-invariant and Reidemeister torsion, the ρ-invariant here vanishes for even numbers of spheres and linear actions and the Pontrjagin classes become p-localized homeomorphism invariants for a given dimension. The cohomology classes, Pontrjagin classes, and sets of normal invariants are computed in the process.     

A Version of the {\cal G} \rm{-conditional Bipolar Theorem in} {L^0 (\mathbb{R}^{d}_{+};\Omega}, {\cal F},\mathbb{P})

Motivated by applications in financial mathematics, Ref. 3 showed that, although fails to be locally convex, an analogue to the classical bipolar theorem can be obtained for subsets of : if we place this space in polarity with itself, the bipolar of a set of non-negative random variables is equal to its closed (in probability), solid, convex hull. This result was extended by Ref. 1 in the multidimensional case, replacing by a closed convex cone K of [0, )^d, and by Ref. 12 who provided a conditional version in the unidimensional case. In this paper, we show that the conditional bipolar theorem of Ref. 12 can be extended to the multidimensional case. Using a decomposition result obtained in Ref. 3 and Ref. 1, we also remove the boundedness assumption of Ref. 12 in the one dimensional case and provide less restrictive assumptions in the multidimensional case. These assumptions are completely removed in the case of polyhedral cones K.     

On correspondences between certain automorphic forms on Sp_{4n} (\mathbb{A}) and \widetilde{Sp}_{2n} (\mathbb{A})

In 2005, Ginzburg, Rallis and Soudry constructed, in terms of residues of certain Eisenstein series, and by use of the descent method, families of nontempered automorphic representations of $Sp_{4nm} (\mathbb{A})$ and $\widetilde{Sp}_{2n(2m - 1)} (\mathbb{A})$ , which generalized the classical work of Piatetski-Shapiro on Saito-Kurokawa liftings. In this paper, we introduce a new framework (Diagrams of Constructions) in order to establish explicit relations among the representations introduced in [GRS05]. In particular, we prove that these constructions yield bijections between a certain set of cuspidal automorphic forms on $\widetilde{Sp}_{2n} (\mathbb{A})$ and a certain set of square-integrable automorphic forms of $Sp_{4n} (\mathbb{A})$ . The proofs use new interpretations of composition of two consecutive descents with explicit identities, which we expect to be very useful to further investigation of the automorphic discrete spectrum of classical groups.

The rational cohomology of $${\overline{\mathcal{M}_4}}$$

We present two approaches to the study of the cohomology of moduli spaces of curves. Together, they allow us to compute the rational cohomology of the moduli space of stable complex curves of genus 4, with its Hodge structure.     

Examples of scalar-flat hypersurfaces in $${\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}$$

Given a hypersurface M of null scalar curvature in the unit sphere , n ≥ 4, such that its second fundamental form has rank greater than 2, we construct a singular scalar-flat hypersurface in as a normal graph over a truncated cone generated by M. Furthermore, this graph is 1-stable if the cone is strictly 1-stable.     

On some classes of linear codes over $${\mathbb {Z}}_{2}{\mathbb {Z}}_{4}$$ and their covering radii

In this paper, we define the simplex and MacDonald codes of types \(\alpha \) and \(\beta \) over \({\mathbb {Z}}_{2}{\mathbb {Z}}_{4}\). We also examine the covering radii of these codes. Further, we study the binary images of these codes and prove that the binary image of the simplex codes of type \(\alpha \) meets the Gilbert bound.     

Real Paley-Wiener type theorems for the Dunkl transform on {\mathcal{S}}'(\mathbb{R}^{d})

We prove real Paley-Wiener type theorems for the Dunkl transform ℱ _D on the space of tempered distributions. Let T∈S′(ℝ ^d ) and Δ _κ the Dunkl Laplacian operator. First, we establish that the support of ℱ _D (T) is included in the Euclidean ball , M>0, if and only if for all R>M we have lim  _n→+∞ R ⁻²ⁿ Δ _κ ⁿ T=0 in S′(ℝ ^d ). Second, we prove that the support of ℱ _D (T) is included in ℝ ^d ∖B(0,M), M>0, if and only if for all R<M, we have lim  _n→+∞ R ²ⁿ  ℱ _D ⁻¹(‖y‖⁻²ⁿ ℱ _D (T))=0 in S′(ℝ ^d ). Finally, we study real Paley-Wiener theorems associated with -slowly increasing function.

Examples of area-minimizing surfaces in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group $${\mathbb{H}^1}$$ with low regularity

We give new examples of entire area-minimizing t-graphs in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group . They are locally Lipschitz in Euclidean sense. Some regular examples have prescribed singular set consisting of either a horizontal line or a finite number of horizontal halflines extending from a given point. Amongst them, a large family of area-minimizing cones is obtained. Research supported by MEC-Feder grant MTM2007-61919.

In this paper,we count the number of SL2(F2^s)-representations of torus knot groups up to a conjugacy.For the finite field F2^s with character 2,the counting method is similar to that in out previous work[1].Explicit formulae of the effective counting are given in this paper.Twisted Alexander polynomials related to those reprsentations are discussed.     

On the Upper Bound of Some Geometric Constants of Absolute Normalized Norms on $${\mathbb{R}^2}$$

This is a continuation of the paper (Mizuguchi and Saito, Ann Funct Anal 2:22–33, 2011). We consider the Banach space \({X=(\mathbb{R}^2, \|\cdot\|)}\) with a normalized, absolute norm. We treat three geometric constants; the von Neumann–Jordan constant C _NJ(X), the modified von Neumann–Jordan constant \({C^{\prime}_{\rm NJ}(X)}\) and the Zb?ganu constant C _Z (X). We consider the conditions in which these constants coincide with their upper bound.     

On incidence between strata of the Hilbert scheme of points on $$\mathbb{P}^{2}$$

The Hilbert scheme of n points in the projective plane has a natural stratification obtained from the associated Hilbert series. In general, the precise inclusion relation between the closures of the strata is still unknown. Guerimand, Ph.D Thesis, Universite’de Nice, 2002 studied this problem for strata whose Hilbert series are as close as possible. Preimposing a certain technical condition he obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the incidence of such strata. In this paper we present a new approach, based on deformation theory, to Guerimand’s result. This allows us to show that the technical condition is not necessary.

An asymptotic theorem for minimal surfaces and existence results for minimal graphs in $${\mathbb H^2 \times \mathbb R}$$

In this paper we prove a general and sharp Asymptotic Theorem for minimal surfaces in . As a consequence, we prove that there is no properly immersed minimal surface whose asymptotic boundary Γ_∞ is a Jordan curve homologous to zero in such that Γ_∞ is contained in a slab between two horizontal circles of with width equal to π. We construct vertical minimal graphs in over certain unbounded admissible domains taking certain prescribed finite boundary data and certain prescribed asymptotic boundary data. Our admissible unbounded domains Ω in are non necessarily convex and non necessarily bounded by convex arcs; each component of its boundary is properly embedded with zero, one or two points on its asymptotic boundary, satisfying a further geometric condition.
