Polynomials on Riesz spaces

In this paper we investigate polynomial mappings on Riesz spaces. We give a characterization of positivity of homogeneous polynomials in terms of forward differences. Finally we prove Hahn-Banach type extension theorems for positive and regular polynomial mappings.     

Topology at infinity of polynominal mappings and Thom regularity condition

We consider polynomial mappings which have atypical fibres due to the asymptotic behavior at infinity. Fixing some proper extension of the polynomial mapping, we study the localizability at infinity of the variation of topology of fibres and the possibility of interpreting local results at infinity into global results. We prove local and global Bertini–Sard–Lefschetz type statements for noncompact spaces and nonproper mappings and we deduce results on the homotopy type or the connectivity of the fibres of polynomial mappings.     

Cycles of Polynomial Mappings in Several Variables over Rings of Integers in Finite Extensions of the Rationals,II

We prove (Theorem 1.1) an asymptotic for maximal cycle lengths of polynomial mappings in several variables over rings of integers in algebraic number fields. In addition (Proposition 3.1), we strengthen the shape of possible lengths of polynomial cycles over discrete valuation domains.

Invariant theory and reversible-equivariant vector fields

In this paper we present results for the systematic study of reversible-equivariant vector fields-namely, in the simultaneous presence of symmetries and reversing symmetries-by employing algebraic techniques from invariant theory for compact Lie groups. The Hilbert-Poincaré series and their associated Molien formulae are introduced, and we prove the character formulae for the computation of dimensions of spaces of homogeneous anti-invariant polynomial functions and reversible-equivariant polynomial mappings. A symbolic algorithm is obtained for the computation of generators for the module of reversible-equivariant polynomial mappings over the ring of invariant polynomials. We show that this computation can be obtained directly from a well-known situation, namely from the generators of the ring of invariants and the module of the equivariants.     

Bounded and unbounded polynomials and multilinear forms: Characterizing continuity

In this paper we prove a characterization of continuity for polynomials on a normed space. Namely, we prove that a polynomial is continuous if and only if it maps compact sets into compact sets. We also provide a partial answer to the question as to whether a polynomial is continuous if and only if it transforms connected sets into connected sets. These results motivate the natural question as to how many non-continuous polynomials there are on an infinite dimensional normed space. A problem on the lineability of the sets of non-continuous polynomials and multilinear mappings on infinite dimensional normed spaces is answered.     

Polynomials and limited sets

We prove that scalar-valued polynomials are weakly continuous on limited sets and that, as in the case of linear mappings, every -valued polynomial maps limited sets into relatively compact ones. We also show that a scalar-valued polynomial whose derivative is limited is weakly sequentially continuous.

     

On the structure of finite coverings of compact connected groups

Finite-sheeted covering mappings onto compact connected groups are studied. We show that for a covering mapping from a connected Hausdorff topological space onto a compact (in general, non-abelian) group there exists a topological group structure on the covering space such that the mapping becomes a homomorphism of groups. To prove this fact we construct an inverse system of covering mappings onto Lie groups which approximates the given covering mapping. As an application, it is shown that a covering mapping onto a compact connected abelian group G must be a homeomorphism provided that the character group of G admits division by degree of the mapping. We also get a criterion for triviality of coverings in terms of means and prove that each finite covering of G is equivalent to a polynomial covering.

An algebraic characterization of holomorphic nondegeneracy for real algebraic hypersurfaces and its application to CR mappings

We give a new algebraic characterization of holomorphic nondegeneracy for embedded real algebraic hypersurfaces in , . We then use this criterion to prove the following result about real analyticity of smooth CR mappings: any smooth CR mapping H between a real analytic hypersurface and a rigid polynomial holomorphically nondegenerate hypersurface is real analytic, provided the map H is not totally degenerate in the sense of Baouendi and Rothschild.

Harmonic measure on the Julia set for polynomial-like maps

For a generalized polynomial-like mapping we prove the existence of an invariant ergodic measure equivalent to the harmonic measure on the Julia set J( f). We also prove that for polynomial-like mappings the harmonic measure is equivalent to the maximal entropy measure iff f is conformally equivalent to a polynomial. Next, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of harmonic measure on the Julia set of a generalized polynomial-like map is strictly smaller than 1 unless the Julia set is connected.

Polynomial mappings of groups

A mapping ϕ of a groupG to a groupF is said to be polynomial if it trivializes after several consecutive applications of operatorsD _h ,h ∈G, defined byD _h ϕ(g)=ϕ(g) ⁻¹ ϕ(gh). We study polynomial mappings of groups, mainly to nilpotent groups. In particular, we prove that polynomial mappings to a nilpotent group form a group with respect to the elementwise multiplication, and that any polynomial mappingG→F to a nilpotent groupF splits into a homomorphismG→G’ to a nilpotent groupG’ and a polynomial mappingG’→F. We apply the obtained results to prove the existence of the compact/weak mixing decomposition of a Hilbert space under a unitary polynomial action of a finitely generated nilpotent group.

On the Schwarz symmetry principle in a model case

In this article, we prove that smooth CR diffeomorphisms between two real analytic holomorphically nondegenerate hypersurfaces, one of which is rigid and polynomial, extend to be locally biholomorphic. It turns out that the result can be generalized to not totally degenerate mappings, in the sense of Baouendi and Rothschild.

     

A sharp bound for the degree of proper monomial mappings between balls

The authors prove that a proper monomial holomorphic mapping from the two-ball to the N-ball has degree at most 2N-3, and that this result is sharp. The authors first show that certain group-invariant polynomials (related to Lucas polynomials) achieve the bound. To establish the bound the authors introduce a graph-theoretic approach that requires determining the number of sinks in a directed graph associated with the quotient polynomial. The proof also relies on a result of the first author that expresses all proper polynomial holomorphic mappings between balls in terms of tensor products.

On the Dirichlet–Riquier problem for biharmonic equations

In the paper, it is proved that the distribution of a measurable polynomial on an infinite-dimensional space with log-concave measure is absolutely continuous if the polynomial is not equal to a constant almost everywhere. A similar assertion is proved for analytic functions and for some other classes of functions. Properties of distributions of norms of polynomial mappings are also studied. For the space of measurable polynomial mappings of a chosen degree, it is proved that the L ¹-norm with respect to a log-concave measure is equivalent to the L ¹-norm with respect to the restriction of the measure to an arbitrarily chosen set of positive measure.     

Positive results on discreteness and openness for mappings of finite distortion

In this paper, we prove some positive results on discreteness and openness of mappings of finite distortion under some integrability condition on the distortion and the multiplicity function of the mapping. We also show that in some sense, our results are sharp.     

Fixed point theorems for hybrid multivalued mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of hybrid multivalued mappings in Hilbert spaces. We then prove some properties and the existence of fixed points of these mappings. Further, we prove weak and strong convergence theorems for a finite family of hybrid multivalued mappings.     

The polynomial sub-Riemannian differentiability of some Hölder mappings of Carnot groups

The polynomial sub-Riemannian differentiability is established for the large classes of Hölder mappings in the sub-Riemannian sense, namely, the classes of smooth mappings, their graphs, and the graphs of Lipschitz mappings in the sub-Riemannian sense defined on nilpotent graded groups. We also describe some special bases that carry the sub-Riemannian structure of the preimage to the image.     

Hermitian Symmetric Polynomials and CR Complexity

Properties of Hermitian forms are used to investigate several natural questions from CR geometry. To each Hermitian symmetric polynomial we assign a Hermitian form. We study how the signature pairs of two Hermitian forms behave under the polynomial product. We show, except for three trivial cases, that every signature pair can be obtained from the product of two indefinite forms. We provide several new applications to the complexity theory of rational mappings between hyperquadrics, including a stability result about the existence of non-trivial rational mappings from a sphere to a hyperquadric with a given signature pair.
