Arithmetic differential equations on $$GL_n$$, III Galois groups

Differential equations have arithmetic analogues (Buium in Arithmetic differential equations, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs, vol 118. American Mathematical Society, Providence 2005) in which derivatives are replaced by Fermat quotients; these analogues are called arithmetic differential equations, and the present paper is concerned with the “linear” ones. The equations themselves were introduced in a previous paper (Buium and Dupuy, in Arithmetic differential equations on \(GL_{n}\), II: arithmetic Lie–Cartan theory, arXiv:1308.0744). In the present paper we deal with the solutions of these equations as well as with the Galois groups attached to the solutions.     

Connections on the Total Space of a Holomorphic Lie Algebroid

The main purpose of the paper is the study of the total space of a holomorphic Lie algebroid E. The paper is structured in three parts. In the first section, we briefly introduce basic notions on holomorphic Lie algebroids. The local expressions are written and the complexified holomorphic bundle is introduced. The second section presents two approaches on the study of the geometry of the complex manifold E. The first part contains the study of the tangent bundle \(T_{\mathbb {C}}E=T'E\oplus T''E\) and its link, via the tangent anchor map, with the complexified tangent bundle \(T_{\mathbb {C}}(T'M)=T'(T'M)\oplus T''(T'M)\). A holomorphic Lie algebroid structure is emphasized on \(T'E\). A special study is made for integral curves of a spray on \(T'E\). Theorem 2.8 gives the coefficients of a spray, called canonical, obtained from a complex Lagrangian on \(T'E\). In the second part of section two, we study the holomorphic prolongation \(\mathcal {T}'E\) of the Lie algebroid E. In the third section, we study how a complex Lagrange (Finsler) structure on \(T'M\) induces a Lagrangian structure on E. Three particular cases are analysed by the rank of the anchor map, the dimensions of manifold M, and those of the fibres. We obtain the correspondent on E of the Chern–Lagrange nonlinear connection from \(T'M\).     

Arithmetic partial differential equations, II

We continue the study of arithmetic partial differential equations initiated in [7] by classifying “arithmetic convection equations” on modular curves, and by describing their space of solutions. Certain of these solutions involve the Fourier expansions of the Eisenstein modular forms of weight 4 and 6, while others involve the Serre-Tate expansions (Mori, 1995 [13], Buium, 2003 [4]) of the same modular forms; in this sense, our arithmetic convection equations can be seen as “unifying” the two types of expansions. The theory can be generalized to one of “arithmetic heat equations” on modular curves, but we prove that they do not carry “arithmetic wave equations.” Finally, we prove an instability result for families of arithmetic heat equations converging to an arithmetic convection equation.     

Lipscomb's space

It is known that Lipscomb's space can be imbedded in Hilbert's space . Let be the imbedded version of endowed with the -induced topology. We show how to construct as the attractor of an iterated function system containing an infinite number of affine transformations of . In this way we answer an open question of J.C. Perry.

     

Enumerative Properties of NC (B) (p,q)

We determine the rank generating function, the zeta polynomial and the M?bius function for the poset NC ^(B) (p, q) of annular non-crossing partitions of type B, where p and q are two positive integers. We give an alternative treatment of some of these results in the case q = 1, for which this poset is a lattice. We also consider the general case of multiannular noncrossing partitions of type B, and prove that this reduces to the cases of non-crossing partitions of type B in the annulus and the disc.
