Infinitesimal affine transformations of the second order tangent bundle with horizontal lift connection

We obtain the canonical expansion of an infinitesimal affine transformation of the second order tangent bundle with horizontal lift connection. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is an infinitesimal affine transformation. We also construct the horizontal lift of a linear connection to a second order Weil bundle.     

Affine and projective transformations of Berwald connections

We discuss the infinitesimal affine transformations of the Berwald connection of a spray, and the relation between the projective transformations of a spray and the affine transformations of its Berwald-Thomas-Whitehead connection.     

Multiplets of representations, twisted Dirac operators and Vogan's conjecture in affine setting

We extend classical results of Kostant et al. on multiplets of representations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras and on the cubic Dirac operator to the setting of affine Lie algebras and twisted affine cubic Dirac operator. We prove in this setting an analogue of Vogan's conjecture on infinitesimal characters of Harish-Chandra modules in terms of Dirac cohomology. For our calculations we use the machinery of Lie conformal and vertex algebras.     

Kac-Moody groups and integrability of soliton equations

Summary A new approach to integrability of affine Toda field theories and closely related to them KdV hierarchies is proposed. The flows of a hierarchy are explicity identified with infinitesimal action of the principal abelian subalgebra of the corresponding affine Kac-Moody algebra on a homogeneous space.Oblatum 14-III-1994     

Spectral averaging for trace compatible operators

In this note the notions of trace compatible operators and infinitesimal spectral flow are introduced. We define the spectral shift function as the integral of infinitesimal spectral flow. It is proved that the spectral shift function thus defined is absolutely continuous and Kreĭn's formula is established. Some examples of trace compatible affine spaces of operators are given.

     

Affine transformations of the direct product of nonprojective Euclidean affinely connected spaces

In this paper we obtain exact bounds for dimensions of the Lie algebras of infinitesimal affine transformations of the direct product of two nonprojective Euclidean affinely connected spaces without torsion.     

Geometric structures as deformed infinitesimal symmetries

A general model for geometric structures on differentiable manifolds is obtained by deforming infinitesimal symmetries. Specifically, this model consists of a Lie algebroid, equipped with an affine connection compatible with the Lie algebroid structure. The curvature of this connection vanishes precisely when the structure is locally symmetric.

This model generalizes Cartan geometries, a substantial class, to the intransitive case. Simple examples are surveyed and corresponding local obstructions to symmetry are identified. These examples include foliations, Riemannian structures, infinitesimal -structures, symplectic and Poisson structures.

     

Functors for unitary representations of classical real groups and affine Hecke algebras

We define exact functors from categories of Harish–Chandra modules for certain real classical groups to finite-dimensional modules over an associated graded affine Hecke algebra with parameters. We then study some of the basic properties of these functors. In particular, we show that they map irreducible spherical representations to irreducible spherical representations and, moreover, that they preserve unitarity. In the case of split classical groups, we thus obtain a functorial inclusion of the real spherical unitary dual (with “real infinitesimal character”) into the corresponding p-adic spherical unitary dual.     

Ruled real hypersurfaces of a complex space form

The purpose of this paper is to define a ruled real hypersurface of a complex space formM _n (c), c≠0, and to give characterizations of this hypersurface by the infinitesimal affine transformation of the structure vector field induced on the hypersurface.

Left invariant special Kähler structures

We construct left invariant special Kähler structures on the cotangent bundle of a flat pseudo-Riemannian Lie group. We introduce the twisted cartesian product of two special Kähler Lie algebras according to two linear representations by infinitesimal Kähler transformations. We also exhibit a double extension process of a special Kähler Lie algebra which allows us to get all simply connected special Kähler Lie groups with bi-invariant symplectic connections. All Lie groups constructed by performing this double extension process can be identified with a subgroup of symplectic (or Kähler) affine transformations of its Lie algebra containing a nontrivial 1-parameter subgroup formed by central translations. We show a characterization of left invariant flat special Kähler structures using étale Kähler affine representations, exhibit some immediate consequences of the constructions mentioned above, and give several non-trivial examples.     

Plethystic algebra

The notion of a Z-algebra has a non-linear analogue, whose purpose it is to control operations on commutative rings rather than linear operations on abelian groups. These plethories can also be considered non-linear generalizations of cocommutative bialgebras. We establish a number of category-theoretic facts about plethories and their actions, including a Tannaka-Krein-style reconstruction theorem. We show that the classical ring of Witt vectors, with all its concomitant structure, can be understood in a formula-free way in terms of a plethystic version of an affine blow-up applied to the plethory generated by the Frobenius map. We also discuss the linear and infinitesimal structure of plethories and explain how this gives Bloch's Frobenius operator on the de Rham-Witt complex.     

The algebra of generalized jacobifields

We study the structure of those vector fields on the tangent bundle of an arbitrary smooth manifold which commute with the geodesic vector field defined by an affine connection. The study is restricted to polylinear fields generated by a pair of symmetric pseudotensor fields of type (k, 1) and (k+1,1), k≥0, defined on the manifold. We establish an isomorphism between the space of infinitesimal automorphisms of fixed type and the space ℌ_k of the solutions of a partial differential equation generalizing the Jacobi equation for the infinitesimal automorphisms of the connection. It is shown that the spaces ℌ_k are finite-dimensional and form a graduated Lie algebra ℌ=⊕ _k=0 ^∞ ℌ_k. These algebras are classified in the case of one-dimensional manifolds. It is proved that if the geodesic vector field is complete, then so are the automorphisms corresponding to covariant constant fields of type (1, 1). Bibliography: 5 titles.

The automorphism group of a Banach principal bundle with {1}-structure

A {1}-structure on a Banach manifold M (with model space E) is an E-valued 1-form on M that induces on each tangent space an isomorphism onto E. Given a Banach principal bundle P with connected base space and a {1}-structure on P, we show that its automorphism group can be turned into a Banach–Lie group acting smoothly on P provided the Lie algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms consists of complete vector fields. As a consequence we show that the automorphism group of a connected geodesically complete affine Banach manifold M can be turned into a Banach–Lie group acting smoothly on M.     

Geometry of the structure of linear complements

Two geometries can be considered in the structure of linear complements: an affine spine space and an affine space. An affine spine space arises from a space of pencils. In terms of this geometry an affine partial line space may be defined. It is extensible to the affine space. Automorphisms of the affine spine space are automorphisms of appropriate affine space.

Weighted infinitesimal unitary bialgebras,pre-Lie,matrix algebras,and polynomial algebras

Motivated by comatrix coalgebras, we introduce the concept of a Newtonian comatrix coalgebra. We construct an infinitesimal unitary bialgebra on matrix algebras, via the construction of a suitable coproduct. As a consequence, a Newtonian comatrix coalgebra is established. Furthermore, an infinitesimal unitary Hopf algebra, under the view of Aguiar, is constructed on matrix algebras. By the close relationship between pre-Lie algebras and infinitesimal unitary bialgebras, we erect a pre-Lie algebra and a new Lie algebra on matrix algebras. Finally, a weighted infinitesimal unitary bialgebra on non-commutative polynomial algebras is also given.     

Representations of Affine Multifunctions by Affine Selections

The paper deals with affine selections of affine (both convex and concave) multifunctions acting between finite-dimensional real normed spaces. It is proved that each affine multifunction with compact values possesses an exhaustive family of affine selections and, consequently, can be represented by its affine selections. Moreover, a convex multifunction with compact values possesses an exhaustive family of affine selections if and only if it is affine. Thus the existence of an exhaustive family of affine selections is the characteristic feature of affine multifunctions which differs them from other convex multifunctions with compact values. Besides a necessary and sufficient condition for a concave multifunction to be affine on a given convex subset is also proved. Finally it is shown that each affine multifunction with compact values can be represented as the closed convex hull of its exposed affine selections and as the convex hull of its extreme affine selections. These statements extend the Straszewicz theorem and the Krein–Milman theorem to affine multifunctions. Dedicated to Boris Mordukhovich in honour of his 60th birthday.     

Invariances and Conservation Laws of the Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Taking the Korteweg-de Vries equation as an example of a soliton system, a connection between conservation laws and infinitesimal transformations (symmetries) is investigated. It is shown that there exist an infinite number of form-invariant infinitesimal transformations. A one-to-one correspondence between conservation laws and infinitesimal transformations is established explicitly. Then it is concluded that the Korteweg-de Vries equation has an infinite number of conservation laws, each of which corresponds to the symmetry of the system. Two methods of weaving an infinitesimal transformation into a finite one are presented; one of them is the extension of the Lie transformation to the nonlinear case, and the other is a transformation reducible to the Backlund transformation. Furthermore, it is found that Hamiltonian formalism naturally leads to the quantization of the wave field. During the discussions, a number of conjectures and theorems which have been proposed in earlier works are confirmed by using the infinitesimal transformation extensively.     

Infinitesimal Isometries Along Curves and Generalized Jacobi Equations

On a Riemannian manifold, a solution of the Killing equation is an infinitesimal isometry. Since the Killing equation is overdetermined, infinitesimal isometries do not exist in general. A completely determined prolongation of the Killing equation is a PDE on the bundle of 1-jets of vector fields. Restricted to a curve, this becomes an ODE that generalizes the Jacobi equation. A solution of this ODE is called an infinitesimal isometry along the curve, which we show to be an infinitesimal rigid variation of the curve. We define Killing transport to be the associated linear isometry between fibers of the bundle along the curve, and show that it is parallel translation for a connection on the bundle related to the Riemannian connection. Restricting to dimension two, we study the holonomy of this connection, prove the Gauss–Bonnet theorem by means of Killing transport, and determine the criteria for local existence of infinitesimal isometries.
