On the Bicomplex Gleason–Kahane–Żelazko Theorem

We prove that a bicomplex linear functional acting on a bicomplex Banach algebra (with a hyperbolic-valued norm) in such a way that invertible elements are transformed into invertible bicomplex numbers is, in fact, a multiplicative functional and thus, an algebra homomorphism. We give two proofs of this. The first of them is based on the theory of bicomplex holomorphic functions and we present here a number of previously not published facts; the second uses its complex antecedent (classic Gleason–Kahane–?elazko theorem).     

On Linear Functionals and Hahn-Banach Theorems for Hyperbolic and Bicomplex Modules

We consider modules over the commutative rings of hyperbolic and bicomplex numbers. In both cases they are endowed with norms which take values in non–negative hyperbolic numbers. The exact analogues of the classical versions of the Hahn–Banach theorem are proved together with some of their consequences. Linear functionals on these modules are studied and their relations with the corresponding hyperplanes are established. Finally, we introduce the notion of hyperbolic convexity for hyperbolic modules (in analogy with real, not complex, convexity) and establish its relation with hyperplanes.     

Conservation laws and the variational bicomplex for second-order scalar hyperbolic equations in the plane

In this paper, we announce several new results concerning the cohomology of the variational bicomplex for a second-order scalar hyperbolic equation in the plane. These cohomology groups are represented by the conservation laws, and certain form-valued generalizations, for the equation. Our methods are based upon the introduction of an adapted coframe for the the variational bicomplex which is constructed by generalizing the classical Laplace transformation used to integrate certain linear hyperbolic equations in the plane.     

Finite-Dimensional Bicomplex Hilbert Spaces

This paper is a detailed study of finite-dimensional modules defined on bicomplex numbers. A number of results are proved on bicomplex square matrices, linear operators, orthogonal bases, self-adjoint operators and Hilbert spaces, including the spectral decomposition theorem. Applications to concepts relevant to quantum mechanics, like the evolution operator, are pointed out.     

Bicomplex Quantum Mechanics: I. The Generalized Schrödinger Equation

We introduce the set of bicomplex numbers which is a commutative ring with zero divisors defined by where We present the conjugates and the moduli associated with the bicomplex numbers. Then we study the bicomplex Schr?dinger equation and found the continuity equations. The discrete symmetries of the system of equations describing the bicomplex Schr?dinger equation are obtained. Finally, we study the bicomplex Born formulas under the discrete symmetries. We obtain the standard Born’s formula for the class of bicomplex wave functions having a null hyperbolic angle.     

Balance in complete cohomology

The balance of complete cohomology for modules that admit complete resolutions has been established by Christensen and Jorgensen (2013), as well as by Enochs, Estrada and Iacob (2012), by using two types of constructions on a given bicomplex. In this paper, we show that these constructions are closely related to each other. We also present an alternative proof of balance, which is based on the corresponding assertion for ordinary cohomology.     

Bicomplex holomorphic functional calculus

In this paper we introduce and study a functional calculus for bicomplex linear bounded operators. The study is based on the decomposition of bicomplex numbers and of linear operators using the two nonreal idempotents. We show that, due to the presence of zero divisors in the bicomplex numbers, the spectrum of a bounded operator is unbounded. We therefore introduce a different spectrum (called reduced spectrum) which is bounded and turns out to be the right tool to construct the bicomplex holomorphic functional calculus. Finally we provide some properties of the calculus.     

The Cauchy‐Kowalewski product for bicomplex holomorphic functions

In this paper we study the Cauchy‐Kowalewski extension of real analytic functions satisfying a system of differential equations connected to bicomplex analysis, and we use this extension to study the product in the space of bicomplex holomorphic functions. We also show how these ideas can be used to define a Fourier transform for bicomplex holomorphic functions.     

Bicomplex Weighted Hardy Spaces and Bicomplex <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-algebras

In this paper we study the bicomplex version of weighted Hardy spaces. Further, we describe reproducing kernels for the bicomplex weighted Hardy spaces. In particular, we generalize some results which holds for the classical weighted Hardy spaces. We also introduce the notion of bicomplex C*-algebra and discuss some of its properties.     

Discrete module categories and operations in K-theory

We study the categories of discrete modules for topological rings arising as the rings of operations in various kinds of topological K-theory. We prove that for these rings the discrete modules coincide with those modules which are locally finitely generated over the ground ring.     

Topological dynamics of the Weil-Petersson geodesic flow

We prove topological transitivity for the Weil-Petersson geodesic flow for real two-dimensional moduli spaces of hyperbolic structures. Our proof follows a new approach that combines the density of singular unit tangent vectors, the geometry of cusps and convexity properties of negative curvature. We also show that the Weil-Petersson geodesic flow has: horseshoes, invariant sets with positive topological entropy, and that there are infinitely many hyperbolic closed geodesics, whose number grows exponentially in length. Furthermore, we note that the volume entropy is infinite.     

Geometric expansion,Lyapunov exponents and foliations

We consider hyperbolic and partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on compact manifolds. Associated with invariant foliation of these systems, we define some topological invariants and show certain relationships between these topological invariants and the geometric and Lyapunov growths of these foliations. As an application, we show examples of systems with persistent non-absolute continuous center and weak unstable foliations. This generalizes the remarkable results of Shub and Wilkinson to cases where the center manifolds are not compact.     

Infinite Dimensional Bicomplex Spectral Decomposition Theorem

This paper presents a bicomplex version of the Spectral Decomposition Theorem on infinite dimensional bicomplex Hilbert spaces. In the process, the ideas of bounded linear operators, orthogonal complements and compact operators on bicomplex Hilbert spaces are introduced and treated in relation with the classical Hilbert space M′ imbedded in any bicomplex Hilbert space M.     

Complex Laplacian and Derivatives of Bicomplex Functions

In this paper we study in detail the theory of bicomplex holomorphy, in the context of the several ways in which bicomplex numbers can be considered. In particular we will show how the notions of bicomplex derivability and bicomplex holomorphy can be interpreted in these different ways, and the consequences that can be derived.     

Hyperbolic groups have flat-rank at most 1

The flat-rank of a totally disconnected, locally compact group G is an integer, which is an invariant of G as a topological group. We generalize the concept of hyperbolic groups to the topological context and show that a totally disconnected, locally compact, hyperbolic group has flat-rank at most 1. It follows that the simple totally disconnected locally compact groups constructed by Paulin and Haglund have flat-rank at most 1.     

Topological laminations on surfaces

We present and prove a topological characterization of geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces of finite type.     

Bicomplex hyperfunctions

In this paper, we consider bicomplex holomorphic functions of several variables in _boxclose C^n{{\mathbb B}{\mathbb C}^n} .We use the sheaf of these functions to define and study hyperfunctions as their relative 3n-cohomology classes. We show that such hyperfunctions are supported by the Euclidean space \mathbb Rⁿ{{\mathbb R}^n} within the bicomplex space \mathbb B\mathbb Cⁿ{{\mathbb B}{\mathbb C}^n}, and we construct an abstract Dolbeault complex that provides a fine resolution for the sheaves of bicomplex holomorphic functions. As a corollary, we show how that the bicomplex hyperfunctions can be represented as classes of differential forms of degree 3n − 1.     

Periodic solutions of nonlinear hyperbolic evolution systems

We shall deal with the periodic problem for nonlinear perturbations of abstract hyperbolic evolution equations generating an evolution system of contractions. We prove an averaging principle for the translation operator associated with the nonlinear evolution system, expressed in terms of the topological degree. The abstract results shall be applied to the damped hyperbolic partial differential equation.     

Indefinite Kasparov Modules and Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds

We present a definition of indefinite Kasparov modules, a generalisation of unbounded Kasparov modules modelling non-symmetric and non-elliptic (e.g. hyperbolic) operators. Our main theorem shows that to each indefinite Kasparov module we can associate a pair of (genuine) Kasparov modules, and that this process is reversible. We present three examples of our framework: the Dirac operator on a pseudo-Riemannian spin manifold (i.e. a manifold with an indefinite metric); the harmonic oscillator; and the construction via the Kasparov product of an indefinite spectral triple from a family of spectral triples. This last construction corresponds to a foliation of a globally hyperbolic spacetime by spacelike hypersurfaces.     

Polynomials and multilinear mappings in topological modules

Criteria for the equicontinuity of sets of multilinear mappings between topological modules are studied, as well as topological modules of continuous multilinear mappings. As a consequence, criteria for the equicontinuity of sets of homogeneous polynomials between topological modules are also studied, as well as topological modules of continuous homogeneous polynomials.
