Compact representations of BL-algebras

In this paper we define sheaf spaces of BL-algebras (or BL-sheaf spaces), we study completely regular and compact BL-sheaf spaces and compact representations of BL-algebras and, finally, we prove that the category of non-trivial BL-algebras is equivalent with the category of compact local BL-sheaf spaces.

Canonical Semigroups of States and Cocycles for the Group of Automorphisms of a Homogeneous Tree

Let G=A ut(T) be the group of automorphisms of a homogeneous tree and let d(v,gv) denote the natural tree distance. Fix a base vertex e in T. The function (g)=exp(–d(e,ge)), being positive definte on G, gives rise to a semigroup of states on G whose infinitesimal generator d/d|₌₀=log() is conditionally positive definite but not positive definite. Hence, log() corresponds to a nontrivial cocycle (g): GH in some representation space H . In contrast with the case of PGL(2,), the representation is not irreducible.Let _o (g) be the derivative of the spherical function corresponding to the complementary series of A ut(T). We show that –d(e,ge) and _o (g) come from cohomologous cocycles. Moreover, _o is associated to one of the two (irreducible) special representations of A ut(T).     

Berezin transform on real bounded symmetric domains

Let be a bounded symmetric domain in a complex vector space with a real form and be the real bounded symmetric domain in the real vector space . We construct the Berezin kernel and consider the Berezin transform on the -space on . The corresponding representation of is then unitarily equivalent to the restriction to of a scalar holomorphic discrete series of holomorphic functions on and is also called the canonical representation. We find the spectral symbol of the Berezin transform under the irreducible decomposition of the -space.

     

Weil Representations as Globally Irreducible Representations

The notion of globally irreducible representations of finite groups was introduced by B.H. Gross, in order to explain new series of Euclidean lattices discovered recently by N. Elkies and T. Shioda using Mordell–Weil lattices of elliptic curves. It has been observed by R. Gow and Gross that irreducible Weil representations of certain finite classical groups lead to globally irreducible representations. In this paper we classify all globally irreducible representations coming from Weil representations of finite classical groups.     

Integral representations of functions and embeddings of sobolev spaces on cuspidal domains

Some classes of cuspidal domainsG ⊂ ℝ ⁿ are introduced, and embeddings of the formW _p ^(l) (G)↪L_q(G),l ∈ ℕ, for sobolev spaces are established. To this end, estimates of some integral operators are needed. These operators cannot be estimated via Riesz potentials or their anisotropic analogs.

Theory of irreversible processes in nonequilibrium quantum systems. I. General formalism

The theory of Van Hove for nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics is extensively reformulated in terms of a superspace (a kind of operator space). This reformulation enables us to introduce a diagrammatic method which makes it convenient to deal with practical problems in physical systems. In our formalism, quantum statistical effects are considered on the basis of a systematic rule for the contraction technique. A complicated statistical effect in boson or fermion systems can be treated by starting with a simple unsymmetrized formalism in the Boltzmann statistics.     

On the semisimplicity conjecture and Galois representations

The semisimplicity conjecture says that for any smooth projective scheme over a finite field , the Frobenius correspondence acts semisimply on , where is an algebraic closure of . Based on the works of Deligne and Laumon, we reduce this conjecture to a problem about the Galois representations of function fields. This reduction was also achieved by Laumon a few years ago (unpublished).

     

Eisenstein Cohomology and the Construction of p-Adic Analytic L-Functions

Let be a cuspidal automorphic representation of GL₃( ), unramified at pand of cohomological type at infinity. We construct p-adic L-functions, which interpolate the critical values of L(,s) and which satisfy a logarithmic growth condition. We obtain these functions as p-adic Mellin transforms of certain distributions on _p ^* having values in some fixed number field and which are of moderate growth. In the p-ordinary case we obtain the bound |(U)| _p |_Haar(U)| _p for open subsets U _p ^*, where _Haardenotes the invariant distribution on _p ^*.     

Spectral Properties of Abelian C*-Algebras

Let be an Abelian unital C ^*-algebra and let denote its Gelfand spectrum. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a nondegenerate representation of to be unitarily equivalent to a representation in which the elements of act multiplicatively, by their Gelfand transforms, on a space L ²( ,), where is a positive measure on the Baire sets of . We also compare these conditions with the multiplicity-free property of a representation.
