Examples of non-conjugated holomorphic vector fields and foliations

We consider germs of holomorphic vector fields near the origin of with a saddle-node singularity, and the induced singular foliations. In a previous article we described the invariants addressing the analytical classification of these vector fields. They split into three parts: a formal, an orbital and a tangential component. For a fixed formal class, the orbital invariant (associated to the foliation) was obtained by Martinet and Ramis; we give it an integral representation. We then derive examples of non-orbitally conjugated foliations by the use of a “first-step” normal form, whose first-significative jet is an invariant. The tangential invariant also admits an integral representation, hence we derive explicit examples of vector fields, inducing the same foliation, that are not mutually conjugated. In addition, we provide a family of normal forms for vector fields orbitally equivalent to the model of Poincaré-Dulac.

Semistrictly quasiconvex mappings and non-convex vector optimization

This paper introduces a new class of non-convex vector functions strictly larger than that of P-quasiconvexity, with P ^m being the underlying ordering cone, called semistrictly ( ^m\ –int P)-quasiconvex functions. This notion allows us to unify various results on existence of weakly efficient (weakly Pareto) optima. By imposing a coercivity condition we establish also the compactness of the set of weakly Pareto solutions. In addition, we provide various characterizations for the non-emptiness, convexity and compactness of the solution set for a subclass of quasiconvex vector optimization problems on the real-line. Finally, it is also introduced the notion of explicit ( ^m\ –int P)-quasiconvexity (equivalently explicit (int P)-quasiconvexity) which plays the role of explicit quasiconvexity (quasiconvexity and semistrict quasiconvexity) of real-valued functions.Acknowldegements.The author wishes to thank both referees for their careful reading of the paper, their comments, remarks, helped to improve the presentation of some results.

Holomorphic Vector Bundle on Hopf Manifolds with Abelian Fundamental Groups

Let X be a Hopf manifolds with an Abelian fundamental group. E is a holomorphic vector bundle of rank r with trivial pull-back to W = ℂ ⁿ –{0}. We prove the existence of a non-vanishing section of L⊗E for some line bundle on X and study the vector bundles filtration structure of E. These generalize the results of D. Mall about structure theorem of such a vector bundle E. The research was supported by 973 Project Foundation of China and the Outstanding Youth Science Grant of NSFC (grant no. 19825105)     

Potential Analysis on Carnot Groups，Part II：Relationship between Hausdorff Measures and Capacities

Abstract In this paper, we establish the relationship between Hausdorff measures and Bessel capacities on any nilpotent stratified Lie group (i. e., Carnot group). In particular, as a special corollary of our much more general results, we have the following theorem (see Theorems A and E in Section 1): Let Q be the homogeneous dimension of . Given any set E ⊂ , B _α,p (E) = 0 implies ℋ ^{Q−αp+ ε}(E) = 0 for all ε > 0. On the other hand, ℋ ^Q−αp (E) < ∞ implies B _α,p (E) = 0. Consequently, given any set E ⊂ of Hausdorff dimension Q − d, where 0 < d < Q, B _α,p (E) = 0 holds if and only if αp ≤ d. A version of O. Frostman’s theorem concerning Hausdorff measures on any homogeneous space is also established using the dyadic decomposition on such a space (see Theorem 4.4 in Section 4).

Investigating directed cortical interactions in time-resolved fMRI data using vector autoregressive modeling and Granger causality mapping

We present a framework aimed to reveal directed interactions of activated brain areas using time-resolved fMRI and vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling in the context of Granger causality. After describing the underlying mathematical concepts, we present simulations helping to characterize the conditions under which VAR modeling and Granger causality can reveal directed interactions from fluctuations in BOLD-like signal time courses. We apply the proposed approach to a dynamic sensorimotor mapping paradigm. In an event-related fMRI experiment, subjects performed a visuomotor mapping task for which the mapping of two stimuli (“faces” vs “houses”) to two responses (“left” or “right”) alternated periodically between the two possible mappings. Besides expected activity in sensory and motor areas, a fronto-parietal network was found to be active during presentation of a cue indicating a change in the stimulus-response (S-R) mapping. The observed network includes the superior parietal lobule and premotor areas. These areas might be involved in setting up and maintaining stimulus-response associations. The Granger causality analysis revealed a directed influence exerted by the left lateral prefrontal cortex and premotor areas on the left posterior parietal cortex.     

BERNOULLI CONVOLUTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CERTAIN NON——PISOT NUMBERS

The Bernoulli convolution Vλ measure is shown to be absolutely continuous with L^2 density for almost all 1/2＜λ＜1, and singular if λ^-1 is a Pisot number. It is an open question whether the Pisot type Bernoulli conuolutions are the only singular ones. In this paper, we construct a family of non-Pisot type Bernoulli convo-lutions Vλ such that their density functions, if they exist, are not L^2. We also construct other Bernolulli convo-lutions whose density functions if they exist, behave rather badly.     

Generalized one-electron spin functions and self-similarity measures

A simple method for construction of eigenfunctions of one-electron spin angular momentum operators from products of the primitive one-electron spin functions is presented. Properties of these functions and their applications to the evaluation of some integrals met in theory of quantum similarity are briefly discussed.     

On Vector Quasi-Equilibrium Problems with Set-Valued Maps

In this paper, we introduce a new class of vector quasi-equilibrium problems with set-valued maps. Almost all the vector equilibrium models of the Blum-Oettli type in the literature are special cases of our new class of equilibrium problems under consideration. Moreover, a number of C-diagonal quasiconvexity properties are proposed for set-valued maps, which are natural generalizations of the -diagonal quasiconvexity for real functions. Together with an application of continuous selection and fixed-point theorems, these conditions enable us to prove unified existence results of solutions for such vector equilibrium problems.
