Pseudo-differential operators and Markov semigroups on compact Lie groups

We extend the Ruzhansky-Turunen theory of pseudo-differential operators on compact Lie groups into a tool that can be used to investigate group-valued Markov processes in the spirit of the work in Euclidean spaces of N. Jacob and collaborators. Feller semigroups, their generators and resolvents are exhibited as pseudo-differential operators and the symbols of the operators forming the semigroup are expressed in terms of the Fourier transform of the transition kernel. The symbols are explicitly computed for some examples including the Feller processes associated to stochastic flows arising from solutions of stochastic differential equations on the group driven by Lévy processes. We study a family of Lévy-type linear operators on general Lie groups that are pseudo-differential operators when the group is compact and find conditions for them to give rise to symmetric Dirichlet forms.     

Definable groups and compact p-adic Lie groups

We formulate p-adic analogues of the o-minimal group conjecturesfrom the works of Hrushovski, Peterzil and Pillay [J. Amer.Math. Soc., to appear] and Pillay [J. Math. Log. 4 (2004) 147–162];that is, we formulate versions that are appropriate for groupsG definable in (saturated) P-minimal fields. We then restrictour attention to saturated models K of Th(_p) and Th(_{p, an}),record some elementary observations when G is defined over thestandard model _p, and then make a detailed analysis of the casewhere G = E(K) for E an elliptic curve over K. Essentially,our P-minimal conjectures hold in these contexts and, moreover,our case study of elliptic curves yields counterexamples toa more naive direct translation of the o-minimal conjectures.     

Hardy space estimates for the wave equation on compact Lie groups

Let −L be the Laplacian. In this paper, we prove that on a compact Lie group G of dimension n, the multiplier operator , s∈(0,1], extends to a bounded operator on the Hardy space Hp(G), 0<p<∞, if and only if . The result is an analogue of a well-known theorem in Euclidean space.     

Maximal semigroups in semi-simple Lie groups

The maximal semigroups with nonempty interior in a semi-simple Lie group with finite center are characterized as compression semigroups of subsets in the flag manifolds of the group. For this purpose a convexity theory, called here -convexity, based on the open Bruhat cells is developed. It turns out that a semigroup with nonempty interior is maximal if and only if it is the compression semigroup of the interior of a -convex set.

     

Nonhomogeneous G-spaces of compact Lie groups

A duality theorem for a compact G-manifold M of a compact Lie group G is proved. For the case when all the orbits in M are principal, it is proved that the quotient space of the complexification of M by the action of the associated algebraic group G^c is isomorphic to the quotient space of M by the action of G.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol, 13, No. 4, pp. 523–529, April, 1973.This paper was completed under the guidance of A. L. Onishchik, to whom the author expresses his thanks.     

Spherical resolutions for compact Lie groups

Let G be a compact Lie group and A a G-space. When does there exist a relative G-CW-complex (X,A) with free G-action on X\A, such that X has the homology of a sphere? This paper gives sufficient conditions, which can be used for the construction of homotopy representations.     

Lipschitz spaces on compact Lie groups

We prove the equivalence between Lipschitz spaces on a compact Lie group defined in terms of Weierstrass integrals and by means of higher order difference operators.     

On multipliers on compact Lie groups

In this note we announce L ^p multiplier theorems for invariant and noninvariant operators on compact Lie groups in the spirit of the well-known Hörmander-Mikhlin theorem on ? ⁿ and its versions on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ . Applications to mapping properties of pseudo-differential operators on L ^p -spaces and to a priori estimates for nonhypoelliptic operators are given.     

Complete minimal submanifolds of compact Lie groups

We give a new method for manufacturing complete minimal submanifolds of compact Lie groups and their homogeneous quotient spaces. For this we make use of harmonic morphisms and basic representation theory of Lie groups. We then employ our method to construct many examples of compact minimal submanifolds of the special unitary groups.     

Symplectically asystatic actions of compact Lie groups

In this paper we introduce the notion of symplectically asystatic Hamiltonian action on a Kahler manifold. In the algebraic setting we prove that if a complex linear group G acts on a Kahler manifold in a symplectically asystatic fashion, then the G-orbits are spherical. Finally, we give the complete classification of symplectically asystatic irreducible representations.     

Central oscillating multipliers on compact Lie groups

Fefferman and Stein and Wainger proved optimal L ^p boundedness for certain oscillating multipliers on ${\mathbb{R}^{d}}$ . In this article, we prove analogues of their results for a compact Lie group.
