A wall-crossing formula for the signature of symplectic quotients

We use symplectic cobordism, and the localization result of Ginzburg, Guillemin, and Karshon to find a wall-crossing formula for the signature of regular symplectic quotients of Hamiltonian torus actions. The formula is recursive, depending ultimately on fixed point data. In the case of a circle action, we obtain a formula for the signature of singular quotients as well. We also show how formulas for the Poincaré polynomial and the Euler characteristic (equivalent to those of Kirwan can be expressed in the same recursive manner.

     

Rotation numbers for curves on a torus

We define a regular homotopy invariant of closed curves on a surface, and give a formula for the rotation number of closed curves on torus, which is analogous to the Whitney formula for planar curves. As an application, we show a necessary condition for a Gauss word to be realized on torus.     

Betti Numbers of 3-Sasakian Quotients of Spheres by Tori

Asymptotics of the Distribution of Eigenvalues of a Selfadjoint Second Order Hyperbolic Differential Operator on the Two-Dimensional Torus

We study the asymptotic properties of the discrete spectrum for general selfadjoint second order hyperbolic operators on the two-dimensional torus. For a broad class of operators with sufficiently smooth coefficients and the principal part coinciding with the wave operator in the light cone coordinates we prove the discreteness of the spectrum and obtain an asymptotic formula for the distribution of eigenvalues. In some cases we can indicate the first two asymptotic terms. We discuss the relations of these questions to analytic number theory and mathematical physics.     

Chern–Simons Invariants of Torus Links

We compute the vacuum expectation values of torus knot operators in Chern–Simons theory, and we obtain explicit formulae for all classical gauge groups and for arbitrary representations. We reproduce a known formula for the HOMFLY invariants of torus knots and links, and we obtain an analogous formula for Kauffman invariants. We also derive a formula for cable knots. We use our results to test a recently proposed conjecture that relates HOMFLY and Kauffman invariants.     

Dimension and enumeration of primitive ideals in quantum algebras

In this paper, we study the primitive ideals of quantum algebras supporting a rational torus action. We first prove a quantum analogue of a Theorem of Dixmier; namely, we show that the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of primitive factors of various quantum algebras is always even. Next we give a combinatorial criterion for a prime ideal that is invariant under the torus action to be primitive. We use this criterion to obtain a formula for the number of primitive ideals in the algebra of 2×n quantum matrices that are invariant under the action of the torus. Roughly speaking, this can be thought of as giving an enumeration of the points that are invariant under the induced action of the torus in the “variety of 2×n quantum matrices”.

Action hamiltonienne d’un tore et formule de localisation en cohomologie équivariante

Using an idea of Witten (see [8]), we give a localization formula in equivariant cohomology in the case of an Hamiltonian torus action on a compact symplectic manifold χ. The integral over χ of an equivariant closed form can be written as an integral over the submanifold of critical points of the square of the moment map.     

Dimensions of some affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties

This paper concerns the dimensions of certain affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties, both in the affine Grassmannian and in the affine flag manifold. Rapoport conjectured a formula for the dimensions of the varieties Xμ(b) in the affine Grassmannian. We prove his conjecture for b in the split torus; we find that these varieties are equidimensional; and we reduce the general conjecture to the case of superbasic b. In the affine flag manifold, we prove a formula that reduces the dimension question for Xx(b) with b in the split torus to computations of dimensions of intersections of Iwahori orbits with orbits of the unipotent radical. Calculations using this formula allow us to verify a conjecture of Reuman in many new cases, and to make progress toward a generalization of his conjecture.     

On the diffusion equation and diffusion wavelets on flat cylinders and the n‐torus

In this paper we study the solutions to the diffusion equation on some conformally flat cylinders and on the n‐torus. Using the Clifford algebra calculus with an appropriate Witt basis, the solutions can be expressed as multiperiodic eigensolutions to the parabolic Dirac operator. We study their fundamental properties, give representation formulas of all these solutions and develop some integral representation formulas. In particular we set up a Green type formula for the solutions to the homogeneous diffusion equation on cylinders and tori. Then we also treat the inhomogeneous diffusion equation diffusion with prescribed boundary conditions in Lipschitz domains on these manifolds. As main application, we construct well localized diffusion wavelets on this class of cylinders and tori by means of multiperiodic eigensolutions to the parabolic Dirac operator. We round off with presenting some concrete numerical simulations for the three dimensional case. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The discriminant of an algebraic torus

For a torus T defined over a global field K, we revisit an analytic class number formula obtained by Shyr in the 1970s as a generalization of Dirichlet?s class number formula. We prove a local-global presentation of the quasi-discriminant of T, which enters into this formula, in terms of cocharacters of T. This presentation can serve as a more natural definition of this invariant.     

Halin图在环面上嵌入的灵活性

In this paper we show that the face-width of any embedding of a Halin graph(a type of planar graph) in the torus is one, and give a formula for determining the number of all nonequivalent embeddings of a Halin graph in the torus.     

The torus related Riemann problem

The Riemann jump problem is solved for analytic functions of several complex variables with the unit torus as the jump manifold. A well-posed formulation is given which does not demand any solvability conditions. The higher dimensional Plemelj-Sokhotzki formula for analytic functions in torus domains is established. The canonical functions of the Riemann problem for torus domains are represented and applied in order to construct solutions for both of the homogeneous and inhomogeneous problems. Thus contrary to earlier research the results are similar to the respective ones for just one variable. A connection between the Riemann and the Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem for the unit polydisc is explained.     

Topological conjugacy of linear endomorphisms of the 2-torus

We describe two complete sets of numerical invariants of topological conjugacy for linear endomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus, i.e., continuous maps from the torus to itself which are covered by linear maps of the plane. The trace and determinant are part of both complete sets, and two candidates are proposed for a third (and last) invariant which, in both cases, can be understood from the topological point of view. One of our invariants is in fact the ideal class of the Latimer-MacDuffee-Taussky theory, reformulated in more elementary terms and interpreted as describing some topology. Merely, one has to look at how closed curves on the torus intersect their image under the endomorphism. Part of the intersection information (the intersection number counted with multiplicity) can be captured by a binary quadratic form associated to the map, so that we can use the classical theories initiated by Lagrange and Gauss. To go beyond the intersection number, and shortcut the classification theory for quadratic forms, we use the rotation number of Poincaré.

     

Multi‐periodic eigensolutions to the Dirac operator and applications to the generalized Helmholtz equation on flat cylinders and on the n‐torus

In this paper, we study the solutions to the generalized Helmholtz equation with complex parameter on some conformally flat cylinders and on the n‐torus. Using the Clifford algebra calculus, the solutions can be expressed as multi‐periodic eigensolutions to the Dirac operator associated with a complex parameter λ∈?. Physically, these can be interpreted as the solutions to the time‐harmonic Maxwell equations on these manifolds. We study their fundamental properties and give an explicit representation theorem of all these solutions and develop some integral representation formulas. In particular, we set up Green‐type formulas for the cylindrical and toroidal Helmholtz operator. As a concrete application, we explicitly solve the Dirichlet problem for the cylindrical Helmholtz operator on the half cylinder. Finally, we introduce hypercomplex integral operators on these manifolds, which allow us to represent the solutions to the inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation with given boundary data on cylinders and on the n‐torus.

On the localization formula in equivariant cohomology

We give a generalization of the Atiyah-Bott-Berline-Vergne localization theorem for the equivariant cohomology of a torus action. We replace the manifold having a torus action by an equivariant map of manifolds having a compact connected Lie group action. This provides a systematic method for calculating the Gysin homomorphism in ordinary cohomology of an equivariant map. As an example, we recover a formula of Akyildiz-Carrell for the Gysin homomorphism of flag manifolds.     

Unfolding the torus: Oscillator geometry from time delays

Summary We present a simple method of plotting the trajectories of systems of weakly coupled oscillators. Our algorithm uses the time delays between the “firings” of the oscillators. For any system ofn weakly coupled oscillators there is an attracting invariantn-dimensional torus, and the attractor is a subset of this invariant torus. The invariant torus intersects a suitable codimension-1 surface of section at an (n−1)-dimensional torus. The dynamics ofn coupled oscillators can thus be reduced,in principle, to the study of Poincaré maps of the (n−1)-dimensional torus. This paper gives apractical algorithm for measuring then−1 angles on the torus. Since visualization of 3 (or higher) dimensional data is difficult we concentrate onn=3 oscillators. For three oscillators, a standard projection of the Poincaré map onto the plane yields a projection of the 2-torus which is 4-to-1 over most of the torus, making it difficult to observe the structure of the attractor. Our algorithm allows a direct measurement of the 2 angles on the torus, so we can plot a 1-to-1 map from the invariant torus to the “unfolded torus” where opposite edges of a square are identified. In the cases where the attractor is a torus knot, the knot type of the attractor is obvious in our projection.     

Tree modules of the generalised Kronecker quiver

For coprime roots certain torus fixed points of the Kronecker moduli space are indecomposable tree modules. They are indecomposable representations of the regular m-tree and can be glued in order to get stable torus fixed points for every coprime root. Using their stability and the reflection functor we show that for arbitrary roots there exist indecomposable tree modules of the Kronecker quiver as factor modules of these torus fixed points.     

On the noncommutative Donaldson-Thomas invariants arising from brane tilings

Given a brane tiling, that is a bipartite graph on a torus, we can associate with it a quiver potential and a quiver potential algebra. Under certain consistency conditions on a brane tiling, we prove a formula for the Donaldson-Thomas type invariants of the moduli space of framed cyclic modules over the corresponding quiver potential algebra. We relate this formula with the counting of perfect matchings of the periodic plane tiling corresponding to the brane tiling. We prove that the same consistency conditions imply that the quiver potential algebra is a 3-Calabi-Yau algebra. We also formulate a rationality conjecture for the generating functions of the Donaldson-Thomas type invariants.     

Finite galois modules

A single general formula is given for the weak approximation in algebraic tori over global fields. We calculate the first cohomology group for the torus of an embedding problem of fields with Abelian kernel, the coefficients being the Picard group of a nonsingular projective model of the torus. The Tamagawa numbers of a certain class of reductive groups are calculated.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
