A Class of Integral Operators on the Unit Ball of \mathbb{C}^{n}

For real parameters a, b, c, and t, where c is not a nonpositive integer, we determine exactly when the integral operator

$$ H^{p}_{w} - L^{p}_{w} $$ Boundedness of Marcinkiewicz Integral

The Marcinkiewicz integral is essentially a Littlewood-Paley g-function, which plays a very important role in harmonic analysis. In this paper we give weaker smoothness conditions assumed on Ω to imply the boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operator μ_Ω, where w belongs to the Muckenhoupt weight class.

Laguerre geometry of hypersurfaces in $$\mathbb{R}^{n}$$

Laguerre geometry of surfaces in is given in the book of Blaschke [Vorlesungen über Differentialgeometrie, Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York (1929)], and has been studied by Musso and Nicolodi [Trans. Am. Math. soc. 348, 4321–4337 (1996); Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg 69, 123–138 (1999); Int. J. Math. 11(7), 911–924 (2000)], Palmer [Remarks on a variation problem in Laguerre geometry. Rendiconti di Mathematica, Serie VII, Roma, vol. 19, pp. 281–293 (1999)] and other authors. In this paper we study Laguerre differential geometry of hypersurfaces in . For any umbilical free hypersurface with non-zero principal curvatures we define a Laguerre invariant metric g on M and a Laguerre invariant self-adjoint operator : TM → TM, and show that is a complete Laguerre invariant system for hypersurfaces in with n≥ 4. We calculate the Euler–Lagrange equation for the Laguerre volume functional of Laguerre metric by using Laguerre invariants. Using the Euclidean space , the semi-Euclidean space and the degenerate space we define three Laguerre space forms , and and define the Laguerre embeddings and , analogously to what happens in the Moebius geometry where we have Moebius space forms S ⁿ , and (spaces of constant curvature) and conformal embeddings and [cf. Liu et al. in Tohoku Math. J. 53, 553–569 (2001) and Wang in Manuscr. Math. 96, 517–534 (1998)]. Using these Laguerre embeddings we can unify the Laguerre geometry of hypersurfaces in , and . As an example we show that minimal surfaces in or are Laguerre minimal in .C. Wang Partially supported by RFDP and Chuang-Xin-Qun-Ti of NSFC.     

Certain invariants of extension algebras of C({\mathbb{T}}^{2})

In this paper, we compute certain invariants of extension algebras of the torus algebra by , where is the C*-algebra of compact operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space H. These extension algebras are also constructed up to isomorphism. Received: 5 July 2007, Revised: 14 February 2008     

Levels of quaternion algebras

The level of a ring R with 1 ≠ 0 is the smallest positive integer s such that −1 can be written as a sum of s squares in R, provided −1 is a sum of squares at all. D. W. Lewis showed that any value of type 2 ⁿ or 2 ⁿ + 1 can be realized as level of a quaternion algebra, and he asked whether there exist quaternion algebras whose levels are not of that form. Using function fields of quadratic forms, we construct such examples. Received: 23 March 2007, Revised: 30 October 2007     

Inequalities for the Volume of the Unit Ball in \mathbb {R}^{n}, II

We present several sharp inequalities for the volume of the unit ball in ,

Equidistribution over function fields

We prove equidistribution of a generic net of small points in a projective variety X over a function field K. For an algebraic dynamical system over K, we generalize this equidistribution theorem to a small generic net of subvarieties. For number fields, these results were proved by Yuan and we transfer here his methods to function fields. If X is a closed subvariety of an abelian variety, then we can describe the equidistribution measure explicitly in terms of convex geometry.     

Syzygies of Multi-Variable Higher Spin Dirac Operators on $$\mathbb{R}^{3}$$

This paper is a short report on the generalization of some results of our previous paper [12] to the case of spin j/2 Dirac operators in real dimension three for arbitrary odd integer j. We use an explicit formula for the local expression of such operators to study their algebraic properties, construct the compatibility conditions of the overdetermined system associated to the operator in several spatial variables, and we prove that its associated algebraic complex, dual do the BGG sequence coming from representation theory, has substantially the same pattern as the Cauchy-Fueter complex.

PAC fields over finitely generated fields

We prove the following theorem for a finitely generated field K: Let M be a Galois extension of K which is not separably closed. Then M is not PAC over K.

Fibred multilinks and singularities $${f \overline g}$$

In this article we extend Milnor’s fibration theorem to the case of functions of the form with f, g holomorphic, defined on a complex analytic (possibly singular) germ (X, 0). We further refine this fibration theorem by looking not only at the link of , but also at its multi-link structure, which is more subtle. We mostly focus on the case when X has complex dimension two. Our main result (Theorem 4.4) gives in this case the equivalence of the following three statements:

The action of S n on the cohomology of \overline{M}_{0,n}(\mathbb{R})

In recent work by Etingof, Henriques, Kamnitzer, and the author, a presentation and explicit basis was given for the rational cohomology of the real locus of the moduli space of stable genus 0 curves with n marked points. We determine the graded character of the action of S_n on this space (induced by permutations of the marked points), both in the form of a plethystic formula for the cycle index, and as an explicit product formula for the value of the character on a given cycle type.      

\mathcal {PT} -Symmetric Waveguides

We introduce a planar waveguide of constant width with non-Hermitian -symmetric Robin boundary conditions. We study the spectrum of this system in the regime when the boundary coupling function is a compactly supported perturbation of a homogeneous coupling. We prove that the essential spectrum is positive and independent of such perturbation, and that the residual spectrum is empty. Assuming that the perturbation is small in the supremum norm, we show that it gives rise to real weakly-coupled eigenvalues converging to the threshold of the essential spectrum. We derive sufficient conditions for these eigenvalues to exist or to be absent. Moreover, we construct the leading terms of the asymptotic expansions of these eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions.      

Denominators of Eisenstein cohomology classes for GL2 over imaginary quadratic fields

We study the arithmetic of Eisenstein cohomology classes for symmetric spaces associated to GL₂ over imaginary quadratic fields. We prove in many cases a lower bound on their denominator in terms of an L-value of a Hecke character providing evidence for a conjecture of Harder that the denominator is given by this L-value. Furthermore, we exibit conditions under which the restriction of the classes to the boundary is integral.     

The absolute Galois groups of finite extensions of $${\mathbb{R}}(t)$$

Let R be a real closed field and L be a finite extension of R(t). We prove that Gal(L) ≅ Gal(R(t)) if L is formally real and Gal(L) is the free profinite group of rank card (R) if L is not formally real. Received: 3 April 2007

In this paper we present a parabolic approach to studying the diffusive long time behaviour of solutions to the Cauchy problem:

Multiplicity one theorem for ({\rm GL}_{n+1}({\mathbb{R}}), {\rm GL} _ {n} ({ \mathbb{R}}))

Let F be either or . Consider the standard embedding and the action of GL_n(F) on GL_n+1(F) by conjugation. We show that any GL_n(F)-invariant distribution on GL_n+1(F) is invariant with respect to transposition. We prove that this implies that for any irreducible admissible smooth Fréchet representations π of GL_n+1(F) and of GL_n(F),

On the \varpi_n-related elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres

Let X = {x ₁, …, x _n } be a set of n points in the d-dimensional Euclidean space , with unit diameter. In this work we give the complete proof of a conjecture by Witsenhausen, stating that the maximum M(d, n) of in dimension d is attained if and only if the points are distributed as evenly as possible among the vertices of a regular d-dimensional simplex of edge-length 1.

On nonatomic submeasures on {\mathbb{N}}. III

In our earlier paper (Arch. Math. 91 (2008), 76–85), we proved that if F is a sequence of finite nonempty subsets of such that a certain quantity t(F) is finite, then the associated submeasure d_F on is nonatomic. In the present note, we give two curious characterizations of the set of such sequences F. The second author is partially supported by the Foundation for Polish Science.
