Holomorphy of spectral multipliers of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

Let γ be the Gauss measure on and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. For every p in [1,∞)?{2}, set , and consider the sector . The main results of this paper are the following. If p is in (1,∞)?{2}, and , i.e., if M is an Lp(γ)uniform spectral multiplier of in our terminology, and M is continuous on , then M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the sector . Furthermore, if p=1 a spectral multiplier M, continuous on , satisfies the condition if and only if M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the right half-plane, and its boundary value M(i·) on the imaginary axis is the Euclidean Fourier transform of a finite Borel measure on the real line. We prove similar results for uniform spectral multipliers of second order elliptic differential operators in divergence form on belonging to a wide class, which contains . From these results we deduce that operators in this class do not admit an H^∞ functional calculus in sectors smaller than .     

Malliavin calculus in abstract Wiener space using infinitesimals

Using infinitesimals, we develop Malliavin calculus on spaces which result from the classical Wiener space by replacing with any abstract Wiener space .We start from a Brownian motion b on a Loeb probability space Ω with values in the Banach space is the standard part of a ∗finite-dimensional Brownian motion B. Then we define iterated Itô integrals as standard parts of internal iterated Itô integrals. The integrator of the internal integrals is B and the values of the integrands are multilinear forms on , where is a ∗finite-dimensional linear space over between the Hilbert space and its ∗-extension .In the first part we prove a chaos decomposition theorem for L²-functionals on Ω that are measurable with respect to the σ-algebra generated by b. This result yields a chaos decomposition of L²-functionals with respect to the Wiener measure on the standard space of -valued continuous functions on [0,1]. In the second part we define the Malliavin derivative and the Skorohod integral as standard parts of internal operators defined on ∗finite-dimensional spaces. In an application we use the transformation rule for finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces to study time anticipating and non-anticipating shifts of Brownian motion by Bochner integrals (Girsanov transformations).     

Quasi sure analysis of local times of anticipating smooth semimartingales

Let be the anticipating smooth semimartingale and be its generalized local time. In this paper, we give some estimates about the quasi sure property of Xt and its quadratic variation process t〈X〉. We also study the fractional smoothness of and prove that the quadratic variation process of can be constructed as the quasi sure limit of the form , where is a sequence of subdivisions of [a,b], , i=0,1,…,n².     

On duality between étale groupoids and Hopf algebroids

For any étale Lie groupoid G over a smooth manifold M, the groupoid convolution algebra of smooth functions with compact support on G has a natural coalgebra structure over the commutative algebra which makes it into a Hopf algebroid. Conversely, for any Hopf algebroid A over we construct the associated spectral étale Lie groupoid over M such that is naturally isomorphic to G. Both these constructions are functorial, and is fully faithful left adjoint to . We give explicit conditions under which a Hopf algebroid is isomorphic to the Hopf algebroid of an étale Lie groupoid G.     

Reflection about k-jets and holomorphic extension of CR mappings

Let be a CR mapping between real analytic generic submanifolds M, M₁ of and , respectively. According to Webster's theory (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 86 (1982) 236-240) and its further developments, f has holomorphic extension to a full neighborhood of M in when the following requirements are fulfilled: f extends to a wedge W continuous up to M; f is of class C^k; (where denotes the complex tangent bundle); M₁ is “k-nondegenerate.” We deal here with the case where is strictly smaller than but is still real analytic in suitable sense. We show that a suitably refined condition of k-nondegeneracy still entails holomorphic extension of f.     

Various types of stochastic integrals with respect to fractional Brownian sheet and their applications

In this paper, we develop a stochastic calculus related to a fractional Brownian sheet as in the case of the standard Brownian sheet. Let be a fractional Brownian sheet with Hurst parameters H=(H₁,H₂), and (²[0,1],B(²[0,1]),μ) a measure space. By using the techniques of stochastic calculus of variations, we introduce stochastic line integrals along all sufficiently smooth curves γ in ²[0,1], and four types of stochastic surface integrals: , i=1,2, , , , . As an application of these stochastic integrals, we prove an Itô formula for fractional Brownian sheet with Hurst parameters H₁,H₂∈(1/4,1). Our proof is based on the repeated applications of Itô formula for one-parameter Gaussian process.     

Equivariant chain complexes, twisted homology and relative minimality of arrangements

We show that the π-equivariant chain complex (), , associated to a Morse-theoretic minimal CW-structure X on the complement of an arrangement , is independent of X. The same holds for all scalar extensions, , a field, where X is an arbitrary minimal CW-structure on a space M. When is a section of another arrangement , we show that the divisibility properties of the first Betti number of the Milnor fiber of  obstruct the homotopy realization of  as a subcomplex of a minimal structure on .If is aspherical and is a sufficiently generic section of , then may be described in terms of π, L and , for an arbitrary local system L; explicit computations may be done, when is fiber-type. In this case, explicit -presentations of arbitrary abelian scalar extensions of the first non-trivial higher homotopy group of , π_p(M), may also be obtained. For nonresonant abelian scalar extensions, the -rank of is combinatorially determined.     

Caractérisation des feuilletages holomorphes singuliers, contenus dans des feuilletages Levi flat, sur les surfaces complexes compactes

Let be a holomorphic foliation with reduced singularities on a complex surface M and a real analytic codimension one foliation on M whose leaves contain the ones of . We show that a Levi flat group of diffeomorphisms of is resoluble and holomorphically conjugate to his normal form. We deduce, in one hand, that each singularity of  is conjugate to his normal form. In the other hand at each singularity m of , where is not defined, up a conjugacy, by the one form ω=xdy+ydx, one of the local invariant curves of , with non obvious holonomy, is contained in the set of singularities of . Moreover if M is a compact Stein variety we show, under some generic conditions, that has a 1-Liouvillian first integrating factor.     

A fixed point localization formula for the Fourier transform of regular semisimple coadjoint orbits

Let be a Lie group acting on an oriented manifold M, and let ω be an equivariantly closed form on M. If both and M are compact, then the integral is given by the fixed point integral localization formula (Theorem 7.11 in Berline et al. Heat Kernels and Dirac Operators, Springer, Berlin, 1992). Unfortunately, this formula fails when the acting Lie group is not compact: there simply may not be enough fixed points present. A proposed remedy is to modify the action of in such a way that all fixed points are accounted for.Let be a real semisimple Lie group, possibly noncompact. One of the most important examples of equivariantly closed forms is the symplectic volume form dβ of a coadjoint orbit Ω. Even if Ω is not compact, the integral exists as a distribution on the Lie algebra . This distribution is called the Fourier transform of the coadjoint orbit.In this article, we will apply the localization results described in [L1,L2] to get a geometric derivation of Harish-Chandra's formula (9) for the Fourier transforms of regular semisimple coadjoint orbits. Then, we will make an explicit computation for the coadjoint orbits of elements of which are dual to regular semisimple elements lying in a maximally split Cartan subalgebra of .

A Besov class functional calculus for bounded holomorphic semigroups

It is well-known that -sectorial operators generally do not admit a bounded H^∞ calculus over the right half-plane. In contrast to this, we prove that the H^∞ calculus is bounded over any class of functions whose Fourier spectrum is contained in some interval [ε,σ] with 0<ε<σ<∞. The constant bounding this calculus grows as as and this growth is sharp over all Banach space operators of the class under consideration. It follows from these estimates that -sectorial operators admit a bounded calculus over the Besov algebra of the right half-plane. We also discuss the link between -sectorial operators and bounded Tadmor-Ritt operators.     

Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .     

The Cayley transform and uniformly bounded representations

Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, with Iwasawa decomposition and Bruhat big cell . Then the space may be (almost) identified with N and with K/M, and these identifications induce the (generalised) Cayley transform . We show that is a conformal map of Carnot-Caratheodory manifolds, and that composition with the Cayley transform, combined with multiplication by appropriate powers of the Jacobian, induces isomorphisms of Sobolev spaces and . We use this to construct uniformly bounded and slowly growing representations of G.
