Affine Isometric Embeddings and Rigidity

The Pick cubic form is a fundamental invariant in the (equi)affine differential geometry of hypersurfaces. We study its role in the affine isometric embedding problem, using exterior differential systems (EDS). We give pointwise conditions on the Pick form under which an isometric embedding of a Riemannian manifold M ³ into is rigid. The role of the Pick form in the characteristic variety of the EDS leads us to write down examples of nonrigid isometric embeddings for a class of warped product M ³'s.     

Affine Spaces within Projective Spaces

We endow the set of complements of a fixed subspace of a projective space with the structure of an affine space, and show that certain lines of such an affine space are affine reguli or cones over affine reguli. Moreover, we apply our concepts to the problem of describing dual spreads. We do not assume that the projective space is finite-dimensional or pappian.     

Embeddings of Spherical Homogeneous Spaces

We review in these notes the theory of equivariant embeddings of spherical homogeneous spaces. Given a spherical homogeneous space G/H, the normal equivariant embeddings of G/H are classified by combinatorial objects called colored fans, which generalize the fans appearing in the classification of toric varieties and which encode several geometric properties of the corresponding variety.     

Compact Embeddings of Besov Spaces in Exponential Orlicz Spaces

Let 1 < p < , 0 < v < p', let be a bounded domainin Rⁿ, and denote by id the limiting compact embedding of theBesov space (Rⁿ) into the exponentialOrlicz space L_exp(t^v)(), mapping a function f onto its restrictionf|. In 1993 Triebel established, among others, two-sided estimatesfor the entropy numbers of id, which are even asymptoticallyoptimal for ‘small’ . The aim of the paper is toimprove the upper bounds in the case of ‘large’, where Triebel's estimates are not yet sharp, thus making afurther step towards the conjectured correct asymptotic behaviour.     

Linear Transformations on Grassmann Spaces III

We prove that a linear transformation from one grassmann space to another that takes decomposable vectors to decomposable vectors either maps the entire space into a pure subspace of the range space or is a composition of maps which are induced by linear maps and correlations between subspaces of the underlying vector spaces     

Vector Hulls of Affine Spaces and Affine Bundles

Every affine space A can be canonically immersed as a hyperplane into a vector space  , which is called the vector hull of A. This immersion satisfies a universal property for affine functions defined on A. In the same way, every affine map between affine spaces has a linear prolongation to their vector hulls. Though not much known, this construction is greatly clarifying, both for affine geometry and for its applications. The goal of this paper is to perform a thorough study of the vector hull functor and to describe its counterpart in the framework of affine bundles. With this respect, it is shown that the vector hull of some interesting affine bundles, and more specifically some jet bundles, can be identified with certain vector bundles.      

Absolutely Continuous Embeddings of Rearrangement-Invariant Spaces

Compactness of embeddings between rearrangement invariant spaces is closely related to absolute continuity of these embeddings. We study absolutely continuous embeddings between rearrangement invariant spaces. In particular it is shown that an absolutely continuous embedding is never optimal. We give sufficient (and under additional hypotheses necessary) conditions for absolute continuity of these embeddings. We also provide quantitative estimates of absolutely continuous embeddings.     

Strict Embeddings of Rearrangement Invariant Spaces

A Banach space E of measurable functions on [0,1] is called rearrangement invariant if E is a Banach lattice and equimeasurable functions have identical norms. The canonical inclusion E ? F of two rearrangement invariant spaces is said to be strict if functions from the unit ball of E have absolutely equicontinuous norms in F. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the strictness of canonical inclusion for Orlicz, Lorentz, and Marcinkiewicz spaces are obtained, and the relations of this concept to the disjoint strict singularity are studied.     

Lax Projective Embeddings of Polar Spaces

Let be a non-degenerate polar space of rank n 3 where all of its lines have at least three points. We prove that, if admits a lax embedding e : in a projective space defined over a skewfield K, then is a classical and defined over a sub-skewfield K₀ of K. Accordingly, admits a full embedding e₀ in a K₀-projective space ₀. We also prove that, under suitable hypotheses on e and e₀, there exists an embedding such that and preserves dimensions.Received: March, 2004     

On the Incidence Geometry of Grassmann Spaces

In this paper we identify some properties on the point-line structure of Grassmannians which are useful tools to characterize the incidence geometry of Grassmann varieties and of their special quotients.     

On Embeddings of Tori in Euclidean Spaces

Using the relation between the set of embeddings of tori into Euclidean spaces modulo ambient isotopies and the homotopy groups of Stiefel manifolds, we prove new results on embeddings of tori into Euclidean spaces.     

Spaces Universal under Closed Embeddings for Finite-Dimensional Complete Metric Spaces

We shall prove that for every natural number n and every cardinalnumber there exists an n-dimensional complete metric spaceX_n, of weight such that every n-dimensional complete metricspace of weight is embeddable in X_n, as a closed subset.

Interpolation and Embeddings of Weighted Tent Spaces

Given a metric measure space X, we consider a scale of function spaces \(T^{p,q}_s(X)\), called the weighted tent space scale. This is an extension of the tent space scale of Coifman, Meyer, and Stein. Under various geometric assumptions on X we identify some associated interpolation spaces, in particular certain real interpolation spaces. These are identified with a new scale of function spaces, which we call Z -spaces, that have recently appeared in the work of Barton and Mayboroda on elliptic boundary value problems with boundary data in Besov spaces. We also prove Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev-type embeddings between weighted tent spaces.
