The orbit method and Gelfand pairs, associated with nilpotent Lie groups

Let K be a compact Lie group acting by automorphisms on a nilpotent Lie group N. One calls (K, N) a Gelfand pair when the integrable K-invariant functions on N form a commutative algebra under convolution. We prove that in this case the coadjoint orbits for G:= K × N which meet the annihilator of the Lie algebra of K do so in single K-orbits. This generalizes a result of the authors and R. Lipsman concerning Gelfand pairs associated with Heisenberg groups.     

A converse of the Gelfand theorem

In this short note we obtain a converse to the Gelfand theorem: a Riemannian manifold is homogeneous if the isometrically invariant operators on the manifold form a commutative algebra.

Conditions for stable range of an elementary divisor rings

Using the concept of ring of Gelfand range 1 we proved that a commutative Bezout domain is an elementary divisor ring iff it is a ring of Gelfand range 1. Obtained results give a solution of problem of elementary divisor rings for different classes of commutative Bezout domains, in particular, PM*, local Gelfand domains and so on.     

On Banach spaces with the Gelfand-Phillips property. II

We present some result of lifting of the Gelfand Phillips property from Banach spacesE andF to Banach spaces of compact operators and of Bochner integrable functions. Moreover we studyC(K) spaces possessing the same property. In the last section we prove some result concerning the so called three space problem for the Gelfand Phillips property too.     

Remarks on Gelfand Pairs Associated to Non-Type-I Solvable Lie Groups

LetSbe a connected and simply connected unimodular solvable Lie group andKa connected compact Lie group acting onSas automorphisms. We call the pair (K S) a Gelfand pair if the Banach ∗-algebraL¹_K(S) of allK-invariant integrable functions onSis a commutative algebra. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the pair (K; S) to be a Gelfand pair using the representation theory of non-type-I solvable Lie groups. For a Gelfand pair (K; S) we realize all irreducibleK-spherical representations ofK?Sfrom irreducible unitary representations ofS.     

Commutative Abelian Galois extensions of a Banach algebra

Let A be a commutative unital Banach algebra with connected maximal ideal space X. We show that the Gelfand transform induces an isomorphism between the group of commutative Galois extensions of A with given finite Abelian Galois group, and the corresponding group of extensions of C(X). This result is applied, when X is sufficiently nice, to construct a separable projective finitely generated faithful Banach A-algebra whose maximal ideal space is a given finitely fibered covering space of X.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>-Algebras on some Free-Banach Spaces

The main goal of this work is to study the Gelfand spaces of some commutative Banach algebras with unit within the space of bounded linear operators. We will also show, under special condition, that this algebra is isometrically isomorphic to some space of continuous functions defined over a compact. Such isometries preserve idempotent elements. This fact will allow us to define the respective associated measure which is known as spectral measure. Let us also notice that this measure is obtained by restriction of the reciprocal of the Gelfand transform to the set of characteristic functions of clopen subsets of the spectrum of above algebra. We will finish this work showing that each element of such algebras described above can be represented as an integral of some continuous function, where the integral has been defined through the spectral measure.     

The lumpability property for a family of Markov chains on poset block structures

We construct different classes of lumpings for a family of Markov chain products which reflect the structure of a given finite poset. We essentially use combinatorial methods. We prove that, for such a product, every lumping can be obtained from the action of a suitable subgroup of the generalized wreath product of symmetric groups, acting on the underlying poset block structure, if and only if the poset defining the Markov process is totally ordered, and one takes the uniform Markov operator in each factor state space. Finally we show that, when the state space is a homogeneous space associated with a Gelfand pair, the spectral analysis of the corresponding lumped Markov chain is completely determined by the decomposition of the group action into irreducible submodules.     

Supercuspidal Gelfand pairs

If G is a totally disconnected group and H is a closed subgroup then, according to the Gelfand-Kazhdan Lemma, if the double coset space H?G/H is preserved by an antiautomorphism of G of order two then (G,H) must be a Gelfand pair in the sense that Hom_H(π,1) has dimension at most one for each irreducible, admissible representation π of G. Under certain rather general restrictions, we show that if the symmetry property holds only for almost all double cosets, then (G,H) is a supercuspidal Gelfand pair in the sense that for all irreducible, supercuspidal representations π of G. There exist examples of supercuspidal Gelfand pairs which are not Gelfand pairs.

Some Finsler spaces with homogeneous geodesics

A geodesic in a homogeneous Finsler space is called a homogeneous geodesic if it is an orbit of a one‐parameter subgroup of G . A homogeneous Finsler space is called Finsler g.o. space if its all geodesics are homogeneous. Recently, the author studied Finsler g.o. spaces and generalized some geometric results on Riemannian g.o. spaces to the Finslerian setting. In the present paper, we investigate homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous spaces, and obtain the sufficient and necessary condition for an space to be a g.o. space. As an application, we get a series of new examples of Finsler g.o. spaces.     

The Congruences of Clausen-von Staudt and Kummer for Half-integral Weight Eisenstein Series

We extend sharp forms of the classical uncertainty principle to the context of commutative hypergroups. This hypergroup setting includes Gelfand pairs, Riemannian symmetric spaces, and locally compact abelain groups. For some Gelfand pairs our inequalities will be sharper than those in a recent paper by J. A. WOLF.     

On functional representation of normed algebras

Let A be a commutative algebra over complex numbers with a space norm ‖⋅‖ making the multiplication on A separately continuous. We will study the Gelfand representation of this type of normed algebra. In particular, we look at the cases where the standard Gelfand representation (i.e., the use of supremum-norm on the Gelfand transform algebra ) gives different properties from the original algebra (A,‖⋅‖). We show that there are even Banach algebras for which this type of difficulty may happen. We will provide with some weighted supremum-norm and by using these weights we can avoid the difficulties mentioned above. For the definition of these weights we adopt the ideas of Cochran represented in [A.C. Cochran, Representation of A-convex algebras, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 30 (1973) 473-479].     

Invariant distributions on a non-isotropic pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space of rank one

We investigate the structure of invariant distributions on a non-isotropic non-Riemannian symmetric space of rank one. Especially, the J-criterion related to the generalized Gelfand pair is shown for this space without imposing the condition on the eigenfuction of the Laplace-Bertrami operator.     

Propagation of Exponential Phase Space Singularities for Schrödinger Equations with Quadratic Hamiltonians

We study propagation of phase space singularities for the initial value Cauchy problem for a class of Schrödinger equations. The Hamiltonian is the Weyl quantization of a quadratic form whose real part is non-negative. The equations are studied in the framework of projective Gelfand–Shilov spaces and their distribution duals. The corresponding notion of singularities is called the Gelfand–Shilov wave front set and means the lack of exponential decay in open cones in phase space. Our main result shows that the propagation is determined by the singular space of the quadratic form, just as in the framework of the Schwartz space, where the notion of singularity is the Gabor wave front set.     

Symplectic Implosion

Let K be a compact Lie group. We introduce the process of symplectic implosion, which associates to every Hamiltonian K-manifold a stratified space called the imploded cross-section. It bears a resemblance to symplectic reduction, but instead of quotienting by the entire group, it cuts the symmetries down to a maximal torus of K. We examine the nature of the singularities and describe in detail the imploded cross-section of the cotangent bundle of K, which turns out to be identical to an affine variety studied by Gelfand, Popov, Vinberg, and others. Finally we show that "quantization commutes with implosion".     

Structure of the Center of the Algebra of Invariant Differential Operators on Certain Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces

We study Duflo's conjecture on the isomorphism between the center of the algebra of invariant differential operators on a homogeneous space and the center of the associated Poisson algebra. For a rather wide class of Riemannian homogeneous spaces, which includes the class of (weakly) commutative spaces, we prove the "weakened version" of this conjecture. Namely, we prove that some localizations of the corresponding centers are isomorphic. For Riemannian homogeneous spaces of the form X = (H ⋌ N)/H, where N is a Heisenberg group, we prove Duflo's conjecture in its original form, i.e., without any localization.     

K2,3的多重多部图设计的构造

λKn(t)是一个λ重完全多部图,G为一个不带孤立点的简单图.所谓的图设计G-HDλ(tn)是一个序偶(X,B),其中X是Kn(t)的顶点集,B为λKn(t)的一些子图(亦称为区组)构成的集合,使得任一区组均与图G同构,且λKn(t)的任意2个不同点组成的边恰在B的λ个区组中出现.本文讨论了G=K2,3的完全多部图设计存在性问题,证明了存在G-HDλ(tn)当且仅当λn(n-1)t2≡0(mod12),n≥2,nt≥5且(n,,λt)≠(9,1,1),(12,1,1),(3,1,2),(4,1,2).
