Galois Reconstruction of Finite Quantum Groups

Let be a (small) category and let F:  →  alg_f be a functor, where alg_f is the category of finite-dimensional measured algebras over a field k (or Frobenius algebras). We construct a universal Hopf algebra A_aut(F) such that F factorizes through a functor :  →  coalg_f(A_aut(F)), where coalg_f(A_aut(F)) is the category of finite-dimensional measured A_aut(F)-comodule algebras. This general reconstruction result allows us to recapture a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra A from the category coalg_f(A) and the forgetful functor ω: coalg_f(A) →  alg_f: we have A  A_aut(ω). Our universal construction is also done in a C*-algebra framework, and we get compact quantum groups in the sense of Woronowicz.     

Interpolating hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

The following dichotomy is proved.

Every Banach space either contains a subspace isomorphic to , or it has an infinite-dimensional closed subspace which is a quotient of a Hereditarily Indecomposable (H.I.) separable Banach space.

In the particular case of , it is shown that the space itself is a quotient of a H.I. space. The factorization of certain classes of operators, acting between Banach spaces, through H.I. spaces is also investigated. Among others it is shown that the identity operator admits a factorization through a H.I. space. The same result holds for every strictly singular operator .

Interpolation methods and the geometric concept of thin convex sets together with the techniques concerning the construction of Hereditarily Indecomposable spaces are used to obtain the above mentioned results.     

The truncated complex -moment problem

Let denote a sequence of complex numbers ( 0, \gamma _{ij}=\bar{\gamma}_{ji}$">), and let denote a closed subset of the complex plane . The Truncated Complex -Moment Problem for entails determining whether there exists a positive Borel measure on such that ( ) and . For a semi-algebraic set determined by a collection of complex polynomials , we characterize the existence of a finitely atomic representing measure with the fewest possible atoms in terms of positivity and extension properties of the moment matrix and the localizing matrices . We prove that there exists a -atomic representing measure for supported in if and only if and there is some rank-preserving extension for which , where or .

     

On the generic nonexistence of rational geodesic foliations in the torus, Mather sets and Gromov hyperbolic spaces

Given a rational homology classh in a two dimensional torusT ², we show that the set of Riemannian metrics inT ² with no geodesic foliations having rotation numberh isC ^k dense for everyk N. We also show that, generically in theC ² topology, there are no geodesic foliations with rational rotation number. We apply these results and Mather's theory to show the following: let (M, g) be a compact, differentiable Riemannian manifold with nonpositive curvature, if (M, g) satisfies the shadowing property, then (M, g) has no flat, totally geodesic, immersed tori. In particular,M has rank one and the Pesin set of the geodesic flow has positive Lebesgue measure. Moreover, if (M, g) is analytic, the universal covering ofM is a Gromov hyperbolic space.Partially supported by CNPq-GMD, FAPERJ, and the University of Freiburg.     

Maximal transitive sets with singularities for genericC 1 vector fields

A transitive set of a vector fieldX ismaximal transitive if it contains every transitive set ofX intersecting it. We shall prove that ifX isC ¹ generic then every singularity ofX with either only one positive or only one negative eigenvalue belongs to a maximal transitive set ofX. In particular, we characterize maximal transitive sets with singularities for genericC ¹ vector fields on closed 3-manifolds in terms of homoclinic classes associated to a unique singularity. We apply our results to the examples introduced in [3] and [15].This work is partially supported by CNPq 001/2000, FAPERJ and PRONEX/Dynamical Systems, FINEP-CNPq.

Cantor sets and numbers with restricted partial quotients

For let be a Cantor set constructed from the interval , and let . We derive conditions under which

When these conditions do not hold, we derive a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the above sum and product. We use these results to make corresponding statements about the sum and product of sets , where is a set of positive integers and is the set of real numbers such that all partial quotients of , except possibly the first, are members of .

     

Random intersections of thick Cantor sets

Let , be Cantor sets embedded in the real line, and let , be their respective thicknesses. If , then it is well known that the difference set is a disjoint union of closed intervals. B. Williams showed that for some , it may be that is as small as a single point. However, the author previously showed that generically, the other extreme is true; contains a Cantor set for all in a generic subset of . This paper shows that small intersections of thick Cantor sets are also rare in the sense of Lebesgue measure; if , then contains a Cantor set for almost all in .

     

Relatively Compact Sets on Abstract Wiener Space

In this note, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for a set in an abstract Winner space （X, H, μ） to be relatively compact in L^2（X, μ）. Meanwhile, we give a sufficient condition for relative compactness in L^P（X, μ） for p〉1. We also provide an example of Da Prato-Malliavin Nualart to show the result.
