A localization argument for characters of reductive Lie groups

This article provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the question posed by Schmid (in: Deformation Theory and Symplectic Geometry, Mathematical Physics Studies, Vol. 20, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, 1997, pp. 259-270).A corresponding problem in the compact group setting was solved by Berline et al. (Heat Kernels and Dirac Operators, Springer, Berlin, 1992) by an application of the theory of equivariant forms and particularly the fixed point integral localization formula. This article (besides its representation-theoretical significance) provides a whole family of examples where it is possible to localize integrals to fixed points with respect to an action of a noncompact group. Moreover, a localization argument given here is not specific to the particular setting considered in this article and can be extended to a more general situation.There is a broadly accessible article (Libine, A Localization Argument for Characters of Reductive Lie Groups: An Introduction and Examples, 2002, math.RT/0208024) which explains how the argument works in the case, where the key ideas are not obstructed by technical details and where it becomes clear how it extends to the general case.

boundedness is considered for the commutator of higher-dimensional Marcinkiewicz integral. Some conditions implying the and the boundedness for the commutator of the Marcinkiewicz integral are obtained.     

Optimal control for semilinear evolutionary variational bilateral problem

This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem for some semilinear evolutionary variational inequalities associated with bilateral constraints. The control domain is a general separable metric space and has no algebraic structure, in particular, it is not necessarily convex. Existence and optimality conditions of optimal pairs are established.     

What is the Rees algebra of a module?

In this paper we show that the Rees algebra can be made into a functor on modules over a ring in a way that extends its classical definition for ideals. The Rees algebra of a module may be computed in terms of a ``maximal' map from to a free module as the image of the map induced by on symmetric algebras. We show that the analytic spread and reductions of can be determined from any embedding of into a free module, and in characteristic 0--but not in positive characteristic!--the Rees algebra itself can be computed from any such embedding.

     

Inner bounds for the spectrum of quasinormal operators

A linear operator in a separable Hilbert space is called a quasinormal one if it is a sum of a normal operator and a compact one. In the paper, bounds for the spectrum of quasinormal operators are established. In addition, the lower estimate for the spectral radius is derived. Under some restrictions, that estimate improves the well-known results. Applications to integral operators and matrices are discussed. Our results are new even in the finite-dimensional case.

     

On the Differential Properties of Temlyakov-Type and Temlyakov-Bavrin-Type Integrals

We establish a formula that expresses the value of the density of the Temlyakov-type integral with defining domain of type A in terms of the integral itself by means of a differential operator. We extend this operator connection to the Temlyakov–Bavrin-type integral of order k. Our study bases on the method of linear differential operators with variable coefficients which is developed by A. V. Nelaev.     

On Solvability of a Boundary Value Problem for Singular Integral Equations

This paper deals with the solvability of boundary value problems for singular integral equations of the form (i)-(ii).By an algebraic method we reduce the problem (i)-(ii) to a system of linear algebraic equations which gives all solutions in a closed form.AMS Subject Classification: 47G05, 45GO5, 45E05     

Measure of Ordering in Statistical Systems

In this paper, we introduce a phenomenological measure of ordering in statistical systems. Using this characteristic, we construct a formal model of a system evolving according to the law of steepest ascent as the control parameter increases.     

On a Problem of Karpilovsky

Let G be a finite elementary group. Let ⁿ (G) denote the nth power of the augmentation ideal (G) of the integral group ring G. In this paper, we give an explicit basis of the quotient group Q_n(G) = ⁿ(G)/ⁿ⁺¹ (G) and compute the order of Qⁿ (G).2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16S34, 20C05
