On some generalizations of the factorization method

The classical factorization method reduces the study of a system of ordinary differential equations U_t=[U₊, U] to solving algebraic equations. Here U(t) belongs to a Lie algebra which is the direct sum of its subalgebras and , where “+” signifies the projection on . We generalize this method to the case . The corresponding quadratic systems are reducible to a linear system with variable coefficients. It is shown that the generalized version of the factorization method can also be applied to Liouville equation-type systems of partial differential equations.

Quantum duality in quantum deformations

In accordance with the quantum duality principle, the twisted algebra is equivalent to the quantum group and has two preferred bases: one inherited from the universal enveloping algebra and the other generated by coordinate functions of the dual Lie group . We show howthe transformation can be explicitly obtained for any simple Lie algebra and a factorable chain of extended Jordanian twists. In the algebra , we introduce a natural vector grading , compatible with the adjoint representation of the algebra. Passing to the dual-group coordinates allows essentially simplifying the costructure of the deformed Hopf algebra , considered as a quantum group . The transformation can be used to construct new solutions of the twist equations. We construct a parameterized family of extended Jordanian deformations and study it in terms of ; we find new realizations of the parabolic twist.

Orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable and Lie algebras of complex-size matrices

We give a uniform interpretation of the classical continuous Chebyshev and Hahn orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable in terms of the Feigin Lie algebra for λ∈ℂ. The Chebyshev and Hahn q-polynomials admit a similar interpretation, and orthogonal polynomials corresponding to Lie superalgebras can be introduced. We also describe quasi-finite modules over , real forms of this algebra, and the unitarity conditions for quasi-finite modules. Analogues of tensors over are also introduced.

Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimate in the first order autoregressive process

Summary In this paper we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) based onT observations from the first order Gaussian process up to the term of orderT ⁻¹. The expansion is used to compare with a generalized estimate including the least square estimate (LSE) , based on the asymptotic probabilities around the true value of the estimates up to the terms of orderT ⁻¹. It is shown that (or the modified MLE ) is better than (or the modified estimate ). Further, we note that does not attain the bound for third order asymptotic median unbiased estimates.     

Construction of representations of the Poincaré Lie algebra by extension of direct integrals of representations ofSL(2,C)

Summary Continuing the program initiated in the first paper of this series, representations of the Lie algebra of the Poincaré group are constructed by forming suitable direct integrals of representations of SL(2, C) and extending them to by means of four additional momentum operators whose matrix elements are derived in a basis adapted to the direct integral structure. The representations obtained here include Wigner’s representations with positive mass and spin and Wigner’s representations with zero mass, spin and helicity ± .

The closure diagram for nilpotent orbits of the split real form of E8

Let and be adjoint nilpotent orbits in a real semisimple Lie algebra. Write ≥ if is contained in the closure of . This defines a partial order on the set of such orbits, known as the closure ordering. We determine this order for the split real form of the simple complex Lie algebra, E ₈. The proof is based on the fact that the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence preserves the closure ordering. We also present a comprehensive list of simple representatives of these orbits, and list the irreeducible components of the boundaries and of the intersections .

Problemi di curvatura su di una varietà quasi hermitiana

Sunto Su di una varietà quasi hermitiana V, la considerazione di alcune medie di curvature semplici e miste, relative a convenienti sistemi di 2-spazi associati ad un 2-spazio α, dà informazioni sulla curvatura semplice K_α, sulla media e sulla curvatura mista ( =Jα). Due delle medie accennate riescono nulle; le altre danno luogo a relazioni di dipendenza lineare. Considerate per la varietà V ipotesi di isotropia in media e di J-isotropia si ottengono teoremi del tipo di Schur. Altri risultati si stabiliscono nel caso k?hleriano.

Summary Let V be an almost Hermite space, α a tangent 2-dimensional space of V; five systems of tangent 2-spaces of V are considered, suitably related to α. The sectional curvature K_α, the mean value , and the bisectional curvature are expressed in terms of mean values of sectional and bisectional curvatures, evalued over the above mentioned systems. Two of the mean values vanish; linear relationships hold among the other ones. Schur-like theorems are proven under the assumption that V be isotropic in mean or J-isotropic. Further results are obtained for the case that V be a K?hler space.

The spectrum of compact hypersurface in sphere

Let M be a compact minimal hypersurface of sphere Sn 1(1). Let (M) be H (r)-torus of sphere Sn 1 (1).Assume they have the same constant mean curvature H, the result in [1] is that ifSpec0(M, g) =Spec0((M), g),then for 3≤ n ≤ 6, r2≤n-1/n or n ≥ 6, r2 ≥ n-1, then M is isometric to (M). We improved the result and prove that: if Spec0(M,g) =Spec0((M),g), then M is isometric to (M). Generally, if Specp(M,g) =Specp((M),g), here p is fixed and satisfies that n(n - 1) ≠ 6p(n - p), then M is isometric to (M).

Sunto Un campo di vettori di una varietà riemanniana V_n+1 induce in essa mediante la decomposizione locale dello spazio tangente nel sottospazio parallelo a e nel sottospazio ad esso normale e supplementare una particolare struttura quasi prodotto. Vengono qui studiate le connessioni rispettanti tale struttura (connessioni vincolate) con particolare riguardo alla connessione vincolata canonicamente associata alla connessione riemanniana Γ. Si danno semplici formule che legano la derivazione covariante secondo alla derivazione covariante riemanniana. Lavoro eseguito nell'ambito dell'attività del Gruppo di ricerca matematica N^o 1 del C.

A local duality theorem for categories of modules

Let Λ be an associative ring with identity and let be the category of left unitary Λ-modules. A subcateqory of the category is said to be small if the pairwise nonisomorphic objects of form a set. The main result of this paper consists of the fact that for every small full subcategory , there exists a ring Γ such that is dual to a small full subcategory of the category . Some applications of this result are indicated. Bibliography: 3 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 227, 1995, pp. 66–73.

Remarks on dispersionless KP,KdV, and 2D gravity

Summary We use the SDiff(2) framework of Takasaki and Takebe and the (L, M) program (L is the Lax operator andMω=ω_λ) to show that =semiclassical limit ofM is , where ( ) are action angle variables in the Gibbons-Kodama theory of Hamilton-Jacobi type for dispersionless KP. We also show is the semiclassical limit ofWxW ⁻¹ (W is the gauge operator), whereG=WxW ⁻¹ is a quantity studied by the author in an earlier paper in connection with symmetries. We give then a semiclassical version of the Jevicki-Yoneya action principle for 2D gravity, where again arises in calculations, and this yields directly the Landau-Ginsburg equation that corresponds to the semiclassical limit of an integrated string equation. For KdV we also show how inverse scattering data are connected to Hamiltonians for dispersionless KdV. We also discuss Hirota bilinear formulas relative to the dispersionless hierarchies and establish various limiting formulas.

Special finite-dimensional monocomposition algebras

Special monocomposition algebras introduced in [1] are studied. Using their properties, we prove that any nondegenerate monocomposition algebra ,dim ≥ 3, with unity contains no proper ideal of dimension ≤8. This implies that if 3≤dim ≤ 9, then is a central simple algebra. Translated fromAlgebra i Logika, Vol. 35, No. 2, pp. 125–144, March–April, 1996.     

Generalized interval exchanges and the 2–3 conjecture

We introduce the notion of a generalized interval exchange induced by a measurable k-partition of [0,1). can be viewed as the corresponding restriction of a nondecreasing function on ℝ with . A is called λ-dense if λ(A _i ∩(a, b))>0 for each i and any 0≤ a< b≤1. We show that the 2–3 Furstenberg conjecture is invalid if and only if there are 2 and 3 λ-dense partitions A and B of [0,1), such that . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this equality to hold. We show that for each integer m≥2, such that 3∤2m+1, there exist 2 and 3 non λ-dense partitions A and B of [0,1), corresponding to the interval exchanges on 2m intervals, for which and commute.
