On coset-spaces of compact Lie groups by subgroups of corank 2

Let G be a simple compact connected simply connected Lie group, H its connected Lie subgroup of corank 2 which coincides with the commutator group of the centralizer of a torus, and let Sam(G/H) = 0. We prove that if a compact connected simply connected Lie group G' acts transitively and locally effectively on the manifold G/H, then G' is isomorphic to G. if the root system of G consists of roots of the same length, then the action of G' on G/H is similar to the action of G.     

Separation Theorems for Group Invariant Polynomials

We study the existence of separation theorems by polynomials that are invariant under a group action. We show that if G is a finite subgroup of \(\textit{GL}(n,{\mathbb {C}})\), K is a set in \({\mathbb {C}}^{n}\) that is invariant under the action of G and z is a point in \({\mathbb {C}}^{n}\setminus K\) that can be separated from K by a polynomial Q, then z can be separated from K by a G-invariant polynomial P. Furthermore, if Q is homogeneous then P can be chosen to be homogeneous. As a particular case, if K is a symmetric polynomially convex compact set in \({\mathbb {C}}^{n}\) and \(z\notin K\) then there exists a symmetric polynomial that separates z and K.     

Certain Subsets on Which Every Bounded Convex Function Is Continuous

To guarantee every real-valued convex function bounded above on a set is continuous, how ＂thick＂ should the set be？ For a symmetric set A in a Banach space E,the answer of this paper is： Every real-valued convex function bounded above on A is continuous on E if and only if the following two conditions hold： i） spanA has finite co-dimentions and ii） coA has nonempty relative interior. This paper also shows that a subset A C E satisfying every real-valued convex function bounded above on A is continuous on E if （and only if） every real-valued linear functional bounded above on A is continuous on E, which is also equivalent to that every real-valued convex function bounded on A is continuous on E.     

On classifying unitary modules by their Dirac cohomology

Let G be a connected real reductive group with maximal compact subgroup K of the same rank as G. Dirac cohomology of an A_q(λ) module can be identified with a geometric object—the k-dominant part of a face of the convex hull of the Weyl group orbit of the parameter λ + ρ. We show how Dirac cohomology can be used as a parameter to classify the A_q(λ) modules.     

On the rank of compact <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic Lie groups

The rank of a profinite group G is the basic invariant \({{\rm rk}(G):={\rm sup}\{d(H) \mid H \leq G\}}\), where H ranges over all closed subgroups of G and d(H) denotes the minimal cardinality of a topological generating set for H. A compact topological group G admits the structure of a p-adic Lie group if and only if it contains an open pro-p subgroup of finite rank. For every compact p-adic Lie group G one has rk(G) ≥ dim(G), where dim(G) denotes the dimension of G as a p-adic manifold. In this paper we consider the converse problem, bounding rk(G) in terms of dim(G). Every profinite group G of finite rank admits a maximal finite normal subgroup, its periodic radical π(G). One of our main results is the following. Let G be a compact p-adic Lie group such that π(G) = 1, and suppose that p is odd. If \(\{g \in G \mid g^{p-1}=1 \}\) is equal to {1}, then rk(G) = dim(G).     

RESTRICTED LIE ALGEBRAS WITH MAXIMAL 0-PIM

In this paper it is shown that the projective cover of the trivial irreducible module of a finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebra is induced from the one dimensional trivial module of a maximal torus. As a consequence, the number of the isomorphism classes of irreducible modules with a fixed p-character for a finite-dimensional solvable restricted Lie algebra L is bounded above by p ^MT(L), where MT(L) denotes the maximal dimension of a torus in L. Finally, it is proved that in characteristic p > 3 the projective cover of the trivial irreducible L-module is induced from the one-dimensional trivial module of a torus of maximal dimension, only if L is solvable.     

On convex hulls of compact sets of probability measures with countable supports

E. Michael and I. Namioka proved the following theorem. Let Y be a convex G _δ -subset of a Banach space E such that if K ? Y is a compact space, then its closed (in Y) convex hull is also compact. Then every lower semicontinuous set-valued mapping of a paracompact space X to Y with closed (in Y) convex values has a continuous selection. E. Michael asked the question: Is the assumption that Y is G _δ essential? In this note we give an affirmative answer to this question of Michael.     

Cyclic cohomology of certain nuclear Fréchet algebras and DF algebras

We give explicit formulae for the continuous Hochschild and cyclic homology and cohomology of certain \(\hat \otimes\)-algebras. We use well-developed homological techniques together with some niceties of the theory of locally convex spaces to generalize the results known in the case of Banach algebras and their inverse limits to wider classes of topological algebras. To this end we show that, for a continuous morphism ?: x → y of complexes of complete nuclear DF-spaces, the isomorphism of cohomology groups H ⁿ(?): H ⁿ (x) → H ⁿ (y) is automatically topological. The continuous cyclic-type homology and cohomology are described up to topological isomorphism for the following classes of biprojective \(\hat \otimes\)-algebras: the tensor algebra E \(\hat \otimes\) F generated by the duality (E,F,<·,·>) for nuclear Fréchet spaces E and F or for nuclear DF-spaces E and F; nuclear biprojective Köthe algebras λ(P) which are Fréchet spaces or DF-spaces; the algebra of distributions ε^*(G) on a compact Lie group G.     

Sharp nonremovability examples for Hölder continuous quasiregular mappings in the plane

Let α ∈ 2 (0, 1), K ≥ 1, and \(d = 2\frac{{1 + \alpha K}}{{1 + K}}\). Given a compact set E ? ?, it is known that if \(\mathcal{H}^d (E) = 0\), then E is removable for α-Hölder continuous K-quasiregular mappings in the plane. The sharpness of the index d is shown with the construction, for any t > d, of a set E of Hausdorff dimension dim(E) = t which is not removable. In this paper, we improve this result and construct compact nonremovable sets E such that \(0 < \mathcal{H}^d (E) < \infty \). For the proof, we give a precise planar K-quasiconformal mapping whose Hölder exponent is strictly bigger than \(\frac{1}{K}\) and which exhibits extremal distortion properties.     

On the hyperbolicity of flows

Let X be a C~1 vector field on a compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold M(dim M≥2),and A a compact invariant set of X.Suppose that A has a hyperbolic splitting,i.e.,T∧M = E~sX E~u with E~s uniformly contracting and E~u uniformly expanding.We prove that if,in addition,A is chain transitive,then the hyperbolic splitting is continuous,i.e.,A is a hyperbolic set.In general,when A is not necessarily chain transitive,the chain recurrent part is a hyperbolic set.Furthermore,we show that if the whole manifold M admits a hyperbolic splitting,then X has no singularity,and the flow is Anosov.     

Komlós properties in Banach lattices

Several Komlós like properties in Banach lattices are investigated. We prove that C(K) fails the \({oo}\)-pre-Komlós property, assuming that the compact Hausdorff space K has a nonempty separable open subset U without isolated points such that every u \({\in}\) U has countable neighborhood base. We prove also that, for any infinite dimension al Banach lattice E, there is an unbounded convex uo-pre-Komlós set C \({\subseteq E_{+}}\) which is not uo-Komlós.     

Inner derivations of simple Lie pencils of rank 1

We prove that simple Lie pencils of rank 1 over an algebraically closed field P of characteristic 0 with operators of left multiplication being derivations are of the form of a sandwich algebra M ₃(U,D′), where U is the subspace of all skew-symmetric matrices in M ₃(P) and D′ is any subspace containing 〈E〉 in the space of all diagonal matrices D in M ₃(P).     

Iwasawa theory of quadratic twists of <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>(49)

The field \(K = \mathbb{Q}\left( {\sqrt { - 7} } \right)\) is the only imaginary quadratic field with class number 1, in which the prime 2 splits, and we fix one of the primes p of K lying above 2. The modular elliptic curve X ₀(49) has complex multiplication by the maximal order O of K, and we let E be the twist of X ₀(49) by the quadratic extension \(KK(\sqrt M )/K\), where M is any square free element of O with M ≡ 1 mod 4 and (M,7) = 1. In the present note, we use surprisingly simple algebraic arguments to prove a sharp estimate for the rank of the Mordell-Weil group modulo torsion of E over the field F _∞ = K(E _p∞), where E _p∞ denotes the group of p^∞-division points on E. Moreover, writing B for the twist of X ₀(49) by \(K(\sqrt[4]{{ - 7}})/K\), our Iwasawa-theoretic arguments also show that the weak form of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer implies the non-vanishing at s = 1 of the complex L-series of B over every finite layer of the unique Z₂-extension of K unramified outside p. We hope to give a proof of this last non-vanishing assertion in a subsequent paper.     

Fuchsian polyhedra in Lorentzian space-forms

Let S be a compact surface of genus > 1, and g be a metric on S of constant curvature \({K\in\{-1,0,1\}}\) with conical singularities of negative singular curvature. When K = 1 we add the condition that the lengths of the contractible geodesics are > 2π. We prove that there exists a convex polyhedral surface P in the Lorentzian space-form of curvature K and a group G of isometries of this space such that the induced metric on the quotient P/G is isometric to (S, g). Moreover, the pair (P, G) is unique (up to global isometries) among a particular class of convex polyhedra, namely Fuchsian polyhedra. This extends theorems of Alexandrov and Rivin–Hodgson (Rec Math [Mat Sbornik] NS 11(53):15–65, 1942; Invent Math 111(1):77–111, 1993) concerning the sphere to the higher genus cases, and it is also the polyhedral version of a theorem of Labourie and Schlenker (Math Ann 316(3):465–483, 2000).     

On the reflexivity of $$\mathcal {P}_{w}(^{n}E;F)$$

In this paper we prove that if E and F are reflexive Banach spaces and G is a closed linear subspace of the space \(\mathcal {L}_{K}(E;F)\) of all compact linear operators from E into F, then G is either reflexive or non-isomorphic to a dual space. This result generalizes (Israel J Math 21:38-49, 1975, Theorem 2) and gives the solution to a problem posed by Feder (Ill J Math 24:196-205, 1980, Problem 1). We also prove that if E and F are reflexive Banach spaces, then the space \(\mathcal {P}_{w}(^{n}E;F)\) of all n-homogeneous polynomials from E into F which are weakly continuous on bounded sets is either reflexive or non-isomorphic to a dual space.     

Metric projection onto subsets of compact connected two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds

The paper is focused on combinatorial properties of the metric projection P _E of a compact connected Riemannian two-dimensional manifold M ² onto its subset E consisting of k closed connected sets E _j . A point x ∈ M ² is called singular if P _E (x) contains points from at least three distinct E _j . An exact estimate of the number of singular points is obtained in terms of k and the type of the manifold M ². A similar estimate is proved for subsets E of a normed plane consisting of a finite number of connected components.     

Weakly complex Einstein-Finsler vector bundle

Let (E, F) be a complex Finsler vector bundle over a compact Kähler manifold (M, g) with Kähler form Φ. We prove that if (E, F) is a weakly complex Einstein-Finsler vector bundle in the sense of Aikou (1997), then it is modeled on a complex Minkowski space. Consequently, a complex Einstein-Finsler vector bundle (E, F) over a compact Kähler manifold (M, g) is necessarily Φ-semistable and (E, F) = (E₁, F₁) ? · · · ? (Ek; Fk); where F _j := F |E _j , and each (E _j , F _j ) is modeled on a complex Minkowski space whose associated Hermitian vector bundle is a Φ-stable Einstein-Hermitian vector bundle with the same factor c as (E, F).     

Solvability,Structure, and Analysis for Minimal Parabolic Subgroups

We examine the structure of the Levi component MA in a minimal parabolic subgroup \(P = MAN\) of a real reductive Lie group G and work out the cases where M is metabelian, equivalently where \(\mathfrak {p}\) is solvable. When G is a linear group we verify that \(\mathfrak {p}\) is solvable if and only if M is commutative. In the general case M is abelian modulo the center \(Z_G\) , we indicate the exact structure of M and P, and we work out the precise Plancherel Theorem and Fourier Inversion Formulae. This lays the groundwork for comparing tempered representations of G with those induced from generic representations of P.     

On the analytic and Cauchy capacities

We give new sufficient conditions for a compact set E ? C to satisfy γ(E) = γ_c(E), where γ is the analytic capacity and γ_c is the Cauchy capacity. As a consequence, we provide examples of compact plane sets such that the above equality holds but the Ahlfors function is not the Cauchy transform of any complex Borel measure supported on the set.     

Holomorphic injective extensions of functions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>) and algebra generators

We present necessary and sufficient conditions on planar compacta K and continuous functions f on K in order that f generate the algebras P(K), R(K), A(K) or C(K). We also unveil quite surprisingly simple examples of non-polynomial convex compacta K ? C and f ∈ P(K) with the property that f ∈ P(K) is a homeomorphism of K onto its image, but for which f ^?1 ? P(f(K)). As a consequence, such functions do not admit injective holomorphic extensions to the interior of the polynomial convex hull \(\widehat K\). On the other hand, it is shown that the restriction f*|_G of the Gelfand-transform f* of an injective function f ∈ P(K) is injective on every regular, bounded complementary component G of K. A necessary and sufficient condition in terms of the behaviour of f on the outer boundary of K is given in order that f admit a holomorphic injective extension to \(\widehat K\). We also include some results on the existence of continuous logarithms on punctured compacta containing the origin in their boundary.
