A twistor correspondence and Penrose transform for odd-dimensional hyperbolic space

For odd-dimensional hyperbolic space , we construct transforms between the cohomology of certain line bundles on (a twistor space for ) and eigenspaces of the Laplacian and of the Dirac operator on . The transforms are isomorphisms. As a corollary we obtain that every eigenfunction of or on extends as a holomorphic eigenfunction of the corresponding holomorphic operator on a certain region of the complexification of . We also obtain vanishing theorems for the cohomology of a class of line bundles on .

A counterexample to a -analogue of the chromatic splitting conjecture

We prove that, if , the -localization of the -localization map is not a split monomorphism in the stable category by exhibiting spectra for which the map is not injective. If and , we show that may be taken to be a two-cell complex in the sense of -local homotopy theory. The question of whether the map splits was asked by Hovey and is in some sense a -analogue of Hopkins' chromatic splitting conjecture.

Partial actions of groups and actions of inverse semigroups

Given a group , we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup associated to . The actions of are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of , both in the case of actions on a set, and that of actions as operators on a Hilbert space. In other words, and have the same representation theory. We show that governs the subsemigroup of all closed linear subspaces of a -graded -algebra, generated by the grading subspaces. In the special case of finite groups, the maximum number of such subspaces is computed. A ``partial' version of the group -algebra of a discrete group is introduced. While the usual group -algebra of finite commutative groups forgets everything but the order of the group, we show that the partial group -algebra of the two commutative groups of order four, namely and , are not isomorphic.

Let and be matrices of determinant over a field , with or . We show that if is not a scalar matrix, then is a product of matrices similar to . Analogously, we conjecture that if and are elements of a semisimple algebraic group over a field of characteristic zero, and if there is no normal subgroup of containing but not , then is a product of conjugates of . The conjecture is verified for orthogonal groups and symplectic groups, and for all semisimple groups over local fields. Thus, in a connected, semisimple Lie group with finite center, the only conjugation-invariant subsemigroups are the normal subgroups.

On scrambled sets and a theorem of Kuratowski on independent sets

The measure of scrambled sets of interval self-maps was studied by many authors, including Smítal, Misiurewicz, Bruckner and Hu, and Xiong and Yang. In this note, first we introduce the notion of ``-chaos" which is related to chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke, and we prove a general theorem which is an improvement of a theorem of Kuratowski on independent sets. Second, we apply the result to scrambled sets of higher dimensional cases. In particular, we show that if a map of the unit -cube is -chaotic on , then for any there is a map such that and are topologically conjugate, and has a scrambled set which has Lebesgue measure 1, and hence if , then there is a homeomorphism with a scrambled set satisfying that is an -set in and has Lebesgue measure 1.
