Lifting of convex functions on Carnot groups and lack of convexity for a gauge function

Let ${\mathbb{G}}Let \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}} be a Carnot group of step r and m generators and homogeneous dimension Q. Let \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}} denote the free Lie group of step r and m generators. Let also p:\mathbbF_m,r?\mathbbG{\pi:\mathbb{F}_{m,r}\to\mathbb{G}} be a lifting map. We show that any horizontally convex function u on \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}} lifts to a horizontally convex function u°p{u\circ \pi} on \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}} (with respect to a suitable horizontal frame on \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}}). One of the main aims of the paper is to exhibit an example of a sub-Laplacian L=?_j=1^m X_j²{\mathcal{L}=\sum_{j=1}^m X_j^2} on a Carnot group of step two such that the relevant L{\mathcal{L}}-gauge function d (i.e., d ^2-Q is the fundamental solution for L{\mathcal{L}}) is not h-convex with respect to the horizontal frame {X ₁, . . . , X _m }. This gives a negative answer to a question posed in Danielli et al. (Commun. Anal. Geom. 11 (2003), 263–341).     

Relative universality and universality obtained by adding constants

A variety ${\mathbb{V}}${\mathbb{V}} is var-relatively universal if it contains a subvariety \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} such that the class of all homomorphisms that do not factorize through any algebra in \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} is algebraically universal. And \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} if adding α nullary operations to all algebras in \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} gives rise to a class a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} of algebras that is algebraically universal. The first two authors have conjectured that any varrelative universal variety \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} . This note contains a more general result that proves this conjecture.     

Counting Ω-ideals

Let ${\mathbb{A}}Let \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} be a universal algebra of signature Ω, and let I{\mathcal{I}} be an ideal in the Boolean algebra P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} of all subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} . We say that I{\mathcal{I}} is an Ω-ideal if I{\mathcal{I}} contains all finite subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} and f(Aⁿ) ? I{f(A^{n}) \in \mathcal{I}} for every n-ary operation f ? W{f \in \Omega} and every A ? I{A \in \mathcal{I}} . We prove that there are 2^2à₀{2^{2^{\aleph_0}}} Ω-ideals in P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} provided that \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} is countably infinite and Ω is countable.     

Cyclic codes over $${{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}$$

In this work, we focus on cyclic codes over the ring \mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂{{{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}} , which is not a finite chain ring. We use ideas from group rings and works of AbuAlrub et.al. in (Des Codes Crypt 42:273–287, 2007) to characterize the ring (\mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂)/(xⁿ-1){({{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2})/(x^n-1)} and cyclic codes of odd length. Some good binary codes are obtained as the images of cyclic codes over \mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂{{{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}} under two Gray maps that are defined. We also characterize the binary images of cyclic codes over \mathbbF₂+u\mathbbF₂+v\mathbbF₂+uv\mathbbF₂{{{\mathbb{F}}_2+u{\mathbb{F}}_2+v{\mathbb{F}}_2+uv{\mathbb{F}}_2}} in general.     

Entropy bounds and second cohomology

When X is a finite complex and p₁X\pi_{1}X acts on \mathbbR²{\mathbb{R}}^2 by translations we give criteria involving H²X for an equivariant map F : [(X)\tilde] ? \mathbbR²F : \tilde{X} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^2 to be onto. Following work of Manning and Shub, this leads to entropy bounds related to Shub’s entropy conjecture.     

Hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space satisfying Lkψ?=?Aψ?+?b

We study hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space \mathbbLⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{L}^{n+1}} whose position vector ψ satisfies the condition L _k ψ = Aψ + b, where L _k is the linearized operator of the (k + 1)th mean curvature of the hypersurface for a fixed k = 0, . . . , n − 1, A ? \mathbbR^(n+1)×(n+1){A\in\mathbb{R}^{(n+1)\times(n+1)}} is a constant matrix and b ? \mathbbLⁿ⁺¹{b\in\mathbb{L}^{n+1}} is a constant vector. For every k, we prove that the only hypersurfaces satisfying that condition are hypersurfaces with zero (k + 1)th mean curvature, open pieces of totally umbilical hypersurfaces \mathbbSⁿ₁(r){\mathbb{S}^n_1(r)} or \mathbbHⁿ(-r){\mathbb{H}^n(-r)}, and open pieces of generalized cylinders \mathbbS^m₁(r)×\mathbbR^n-m{\mathbb{S}^m_1(r)\times\mathbb{R}^{n-m}}, \mathbbH^m(-r)×\mathbbR^n-m{\mathbb{H}^m(-r)\times\mathbb{R}^{n-m}}, with k + 1 ≤ m ≤ n − 1, or \mathbbL^m×\mathbbS^n-m(r){\mathbb{L}^m\times\mathbb{S}^{n-m}(r)}, with k + 1 ≤ n − m ≤ n − 1. This completely extends to the Lorentz-Minkowski space a previous classification for hypersurfaces in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} given by Alías and Gürbüz (Geom. Dedicata 121:113–127, 2006).     

Analytic cohomology groups in top degrees of Zariski open sets in {\mathbb{P}^n}

We show that if A is a closed analytic subset of \mathbbPⁿ{\mathbb{P}^n} of pure codimension q then Hⁱ(\mathbbPⁿ\ A,F){H^i(\mathbb{P}^n{\setminus} A,{\mathcal F})} are finite dimensional for every coherent algebraic sheaf F{{\mathcal F}} and every i 3 n-[\fracn-1q]{i\geq n-\left[\frac{n-1}{q}\right]} . If n-1 3 2q we show that H^n-2(\mathbbPⁿ\ A,F)=0{n-1\geq 2q\,{\rm we show that}\, H^{n-2}(\mathbb{P}^n{\setminus} A,{\mathcal F})=0} .     

Composition Followed by Differentiation Between H ∞ and Zygmund Spaces

H(\mathbbD){g \in H(\mathbb{D})}. The boundedness and compactness of the operator DC_j : H^￥ ? Z{DC_\varphi : H^\infty \rightarrow { \mathcal Z}} are investigated in this paper.     

Mass equidistribution of Hilbert modular eigenforms

Let \mathbbF\mathbb{F} be a totally real number field, and let f traverse a sequence of non-dihedral holomorphic eigencuspforms on \operatornameGL₂/\mathbbF\operatorname{GL}_{2}/\mathbb{F} of weight (k₁,?,k_{[\mathbbF:\mathbbQ]})(k_{1},\ldots,k_{[\mathbb{F}:\mathbb{Q}]}), trivial central character and full level. We show that the mass of f equidistributes on the Hilbert modular variety as max(k₁,?,k_{[\mathbbF:\mathbbQ]}) ? ￥\max(k_{1},\ldots,k_{[\mathbb{F}:\mathbb{Q}]}) \rightarrow \infty.     

Almost Periodicity of Parabolic Evolution Equations with Inhomogeneous Boundary Values

We show the existence and uniqueness of the (asymptotically) almost periodic solution to parabolic evolution equations with inhomogeneous boundary values on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} and \mathbbR_±\mathbb{R}_{\pm}, if the data are (asymptotically) almost periodic. We assume that the underlying homogeneous problem satisfies the ‘Acquistapace–Terreni’ conditions and has an exponential dichotomy. If there is an exponential dichotomy only on half intervals ( − ∞, − T] and [T, ∞), then we obtain a Fredholm alternative of the equation on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} in the space of functions being asymptotically almost periodic on \mathbbR₊{\mathbb{R}}_{+} and \mathbbR_-\mathbb{R}_{-}.     

Numerical Ranges of Radial Toeplitz Operators on Bergman Space

A Toeplitz operator T_fT_\phi with symbol f\phi in L^￥(\mathbbD)L^{\infty}({\mathbb{D}}) on the Bergman space A²(\mathbbD)A^{2}({\mathbb{D}}), where \mathbbD\mathbb{D} denotes the open unit disc, is radial if f(z) = f(|z|)\phi(z) = \phi(|z|) a.e. on \mathbbD\mathbb{D}. In this paper, we consider the numerical ranges of such operators. It is shown that all finite line segments, convex hulls of analytic images of \mathbbD\mathbb{D} and closed convex polygonal regions in the plane are the numerical ranges of radial Toeplitz operators. On the other hand, Toeplitz operators T_fT_\phi with f\phi harmonic on \mathbbD\mathbb{D} and continuous on [`(\mathbbD)]{\overline{\mathbb{D}}} and radial Toeplitz operators are convexoid, but certain compact quasinilpotent Toeplitz operators are not.     

Topology and Smooth Structure for Pseudoframes

Let G\BbbkG_{\Bbbk} be a simple, simply connected algebraic \Bbbk\Bbbk-group with \operatornameLie(G\Bbbk)=\mathfrakg\Bbbk\operatorname{Lie}(G_{\Bbbk})={\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}. In this paper, we apply recent results of Rudolf Tange on the fraction field of the centre of the universal enveloping algebra U(\mathfrakg\Bbbk)U({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) to show that if the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture (from 1966) holds for \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}}, then for all p≫0 the field of rational functions \Bbbk (\mathfrakg\Bbbk)\Bbbk ({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) is purely transcendental over its subfield \Bbbk(\mathfrakg\Bbbk)G\Bbbk\Bbbk({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk})^{G_{\Bbbk}}. Very recently, it was proved by Colliot-Thélène, Kunyavskiĭ, Popov, and Reichstein that the field of rational functions \mathbbK(\mathfrakg){\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}}) is not purely transcendental over its subfield \mathbbK(\mathfrakg)\mathfrakg{\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}})^{\mathfrak{g}} if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B n , n≥3, D n , n≥4, E6, E7, E8 or F4. We prove a modular version of this result (valid for p≫0) and use it to show that, in characteristic 0, the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture fails for the simple Lie algebras of the above types. In other words, if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B n , n≥3, D n , n≥4, E6, E7, E8 or F4, then the Lie field of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is more complicated than expected.      15.

An Inverse Theorem for the Uniformity Seminorms Associated with the Action of {{\mathbb {F}^{\infty}_{p}}}

Let ${\mathbb {F}}Let \mathbb F{\mathbb {F}} a finite field. We show that the universal characteristic factor for the Gowers–Host–Kra uniformity seminorm U ^k (X) for an ergodic action (T_g)_{g ? \mathbb F^w}{(T_{g})_{{g} \in \mathbb {F}^{\omega}}} of the infinite abelian group \mathbb F^w{\mathbb {F}^{\omega}} on a probability space X = (X, B, m){X = (X, \mathcal {B}, \mu)} is generated by phase polynomials f: X ? S¹{\phi : X \to S^{1}} of degree less than C(k) on X, where C(k) depends only on k. In the case where k ￡ char(\mathbb F){k \leq {\rm char}(\mathbb {F})} we obtain the sharp result C(k) = k. This is a finite field counterpart of an analogous result for \mathbb Z{\mathbb {Z}} by Host and Kra [HK]. In a companion paper [TZ] to this paper, we shall combine this result with a correspondence principle to establish the inverse theorem for the Gowers norm in finite fields in the high characteristic case k ￡ char(\mathbb F){k \leq {\rm char}(\mathbb {F})} , with a partial result in low characteristic.     

The Inverse Conjecture for the Gowers Norm over Finite Fields in Low Characteristic

We establish the inverse conjecture for the Gowers norm over finite fields, which asserts (roughly speaking) that if a bounded function f : V ? \mathbbC{f : V \rightarrow \mathbb{C}} on a finite-dimensional vector space V over a finite field \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} has large Gowers uniformity norm ||f||_U^s+1(V){{\parallel{f}\parallel_{U^{s+1}(V)}}} , then there exists a (non-classical) polynomial P: V ? \mathbbT{P: V \rightarrow \mathbb{T}} of degree at most s such that f correlates with the phase e(P) = e ^2πiP . This conjecture had already been established in the “high characteristic case”, when the characteristic of \mathbbF{\mathbb{F}} is at least as large as s. Our proof relies on the weak form of the inverse conjecture established earlier by the authors and Bergelson [3], together with new results on the structure and equidistribution of non-classical polynomials, in the spirit of the work of Green and the first author [22] and of Kaufman and Lovett [28].     

Compact Operators that Commute with a Contraction

Let T be a C₀–contraction on a separable Hilbert space. We assume that I_H − T*T is compact. For a function f holomorphic in the unit disk \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} and continuous on [`(\mathbbD)]\overline{{\mathbb{D}}}, we show that f(T) is compact if and only if f vanishes on s(T)?\mathbbT\sigma(T)\cap{\mathbb{T}}, where σ(T) is the spectrum of T and \mathbbT{\mathbb{T}} the unit circle. If f is just a bounded holomorphic function on \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}}, we prove that f(T) is compact if and only if lim_{n? ￥}||Tⁿf(T)|| = 0\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow \infty}\|T^{n}f(T)\| = 0.
