Geometric quantization, reduction and decomposition of group representations

We consider a Hamiltonian action of a connected group G on a symplectic manifold (P, ω) with an equivariant momentum map and its quantization in terms of a K?hler polarization which gives rise to a unitary representation of G on a Hilbert space . If O is a co-adjoint orbit of G quantizable with respect to a K?hler polarization, we describe geometric quantization of algebraic reduction of J ⁻¹(O). We show that the space of normalizable states of quantization of algebraic reduction of J ⁻¹(O) gives rise to a projection operator onto a closed subspace of on which is unitarily equivalent to a multiple of the irreducible unitary representation of G corresponding to O. This is a generalization of the results of Guillemin and Sternberg obtained under the assumptions that G and P are compact and that the action of G on P is free. None of these assumptions are needed here. Dedicated to Vladimir Igorevich Arnold     

Bounded differential forms,generalized Milnor–Wood inequality and an application to deformation rigidity

We establish sufficient conditions for a cohomology class of a discrete subgroup Γ of a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center to be representable by a bounded differential form on the quotient by Γ of the associated symmetric space; furthermore if \(\rho : \Gamma\to\mathrm{PU}(1,q)\) is any representation of any discrete subgroup Γ of SU (1, p), we give an explicit closed bounded differential form on the quotient by Γ of complex hyperbolic space which is a representative for the pullback via ρ of the Kähler class of PU(1,q). If G,G′ are Lie groups of Hermitian type, we generalize to representations \(\rho : \Gamma\to G'\) of lattices Γ < G the invariant defined in [Burger, M., Iozzi, A.: Bounded cohomology and representation variates in PU (1,n). Preprint announcement, April 2000] for which we establish a Milnor–Wood type inequality. As an application we study maximal representations into PU(1, q) of lattices in SU(1,1).     

The Noether map II

Let be a faithful representation of a finite group . In this paper we proceed with the study of the image of the associated Noether map

In our 2005 paper it has been shown that the Noether map is surjective if is a projective -module. This paper deals with the converse. The converse is in general not true: we illustrate this with an example. However, for -groups (where is the characteristic of the ground field ) as well as for permutation representations of any group the surjectivity of the Noether map implies the projectivity of .

     

Limits of discrete series with infinitesimal character zero

For a connected linear semisimple Lie group , this paper considers those nonzero limits of discrete series representations having infinitesimal character 0, calling them totally degenerate. Such representations exist if and only if has a compact Cartan subgroup, is quasisplit, and is acceptable in the sense of Harish-Chandra.

Totally degenerate limits of discrete series are natural objects of study in the theory of automorphic forms: in fact, those automorphic representations of adelic groups that have totally degenerate limits of discrete series as archimedean components correspond conjecturally to complex continuous representations of Galois groups of number fields. The automorphic representations in question have important arithmetic significance, but very little has been proved up to now toward establishing this part of the Langlands conjectures.

There is some hope of making progress in this area, and for that one needs to know in detail the representations of under consideration. The aim of this paper is to determine the classification parameters of all totally degenerate limits of discrete series in the Knapp-Zuckerman classification of irreducible tempered representations, i.e., to express these representations as induced representations with nondegenerate data.

The paper uses a general argument, based on the finite abelian reducibility group attached to a specific unitary principal series representation of . First an easy result gives the aggregate of the classification parameters. Then a harder result uses the easy result to match the classification parameters with the representations of under consideration in representation-by-representation fashion. The paper includes tables of the classification parameters for all such groups .

     

A Generalization of the Stone–Von Neumann Theorem to Nonregular Representations of the CCR-Algebra

We give a classification, up to unitary equivalence, of the representations of the C*-algebra of the Canonical Commutation Relations which generalizes the classical Stone–von Neumann Theorem to the case of representations which are strongly measurable, but not necessarily strongly continuous. The classification includes all the (nonregular) representations which have been considered in physical models.     

Proximity‐preserving labeling schemes

This article considers informative labeling schemes for graphs. Specifically, the question introduced is whether it is possible to label the vertices of a graph with short labels in such a way that the distance between any two vertices can be inferred from inspecting their labels. A labeling scheme enjoying this property is termed a proximity‐preserving labeling scheme. It is shown that, for the class of n‐vertex weighted trees with M‐bit edge weights, there exists such a proximity‐preserving labeling scheme using O(M log n + log²n) bit labels. For the family of all n‐vertex unweighted graphs, a labeling scheme is proposed that using O(log² n · κ · n^1/κ) bit labels can provide approximate estimates to the distance, which are accurate up to a factor of In particular, using O(log³n) bit labels, the scheme can provide estimates accurate up to a factor of $\sqrt{2 \log n}$. (For weighted graphs, one of the log n factors in the label size is replaced by a factor logarithmic in the network's diameter.) © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 33: 167–176, 2000     

Simulation of pH-Dependent Conformational Transitions in Membrane Proteins: The CLC-ec1 Cl−/H+ Antiporter

Intracellular transport of chloride by members of the CLC transporter family involves a coupled exchange between a Cl⁻ anion and a proton (H⁺), which makes the transport function dependent on ambient pH. Transport activity peaks at pH 4.5 and stalls at neutral pH. However, a structure of the WT protein at acidic pH is not available, making it difficult to assess the global conformational rearrangements that support a pH-dependent gating mechanism. To enable modeling of the CLC-ec1 dimer at acidic pH, we have applied molecular dynamics simulations (MD) featuring a new force field modification scheme—termed an Equilibrium constant pH approach (ECpH). The ECpH method utilizes linear interpolation between the force field parameters of protonated and deprotonated states of titratable residues to achieve a representation of pH-dependence in a narrow range of physiological pH values. Simulations of the CLC-ec1 dimer at neutral and acidic pH comparing ECpH-MD to canonical MD, in which the pH-dependent protonation is represented by a binary scheme, substantiates the better agreement of the conformational changes and the final model with experimental data from NMR, cross-link and AFM studies, and reveals structural elements that support the gate-opening at pH 4.5, including the key glutamates Glu_in and Glu_ex.
