Half twists and the cohomology of hypersurfaces

A Hodge structure V of weight k on which a CM field acts defines, under certain conditions, a Hodge structure of weight , its half twist. In this paper we consider hypersurfaces in projective space with a cyclic automorphism which defines an action of a cyclotomic field on a Hodge substructure in the cohomology. We determine when the half twist exists and relate it to the geometry and moduli of the hypersurfaces. We use our results to prove the existence of a Kuga-Satake correspondence for certain cubic 4-folds. Received: 25 August 2000; in final form: 8 January 2001 / Published online: 18 January 2002     

Laguerre expansion on the Heisenberg group and Fourier-Bessel transform on C~n Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday

Given a principal value convolution on the Heisenberg group Hn = Cn×R, we study the relation between its Laguerre expansion and the Fourier-Bessel expansion of its limit on Cn. We also calculate the Dirichlet kernel for the Laguerre expansion on the group Hn.     

Quiver Hopf algebras

In this paper we study subHopfalgebras of graded Hopf algebra structures on a path coalgebra kQ^c. We prove that a Hopf structure on some subHopfquivers can be lifted to a Hopf structure on the whole Hopf quiver. If Q is a Schurian Hopf quiver, then we classified all simple-pointed subHopfalgebras of a graded Hopf structure on kQ^c. We also prove a dual Gabriel theorem for pointed Hopf algebras.     

Enclosure results for second-order relative spectra by elementary means

Motivated by the general approach due to Shargorodsky we derive enclosure results for the second-order relative spectrum of bounded selfadjoint operators by studying quadratic operator pencils. The quality of the results is discussed by means of a simple example.
