Uniqueness of left invariant symplectic structures on the affine Lie group

We show the uniqueness of left invariant symplectic structures on the affine Lie group under the adjoint action of , by giving an explicit formula of the Pfaffian of the skew symmetric matrix naturally associated with , and also by giving an unexpected identity on it which relates two left invariant symplectic structures. As an application of this result, we classify maximum rank left invariant Poisson structures on the simple Lie groups and . This result is a generalization of Stolin's classification of constant solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation for and .

     

Invariant functionals and the uniqueness of invariant norms

Let τ be a representation of a compact group G on a Banach space (X,||·||). The question we address is whether X carries a unique invariant norm in the sense that ||·|| is the unique norm on X for which τ is a representation. We characterize the uniqueness of norm in terms of the automatic continuity of the invariant functionals in the case when X is a dual Banach space and τ is a -continuous representation of G on X such that τ(G) consists of -continuous operators. We illustrate the usefulness of this characterization by studying the uniqueness of the norm on the spaces Lp(Ω), where Ω is a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a positive Radon measure and G acts on Ω as a group of continuous invertible measure-preserving transformations.     

Local densities of 2-adic quadratic forms

In this paper, we give an explicit from formula for the local density number of representing a two by two 2-integral matrix T by a quadratic 2-integral lattice L over . The non-dyadic case was dealt in a previous paper. The special case when L is a (maximal) lattice in the space of trace zero elements in a quaternion algebra over yields a clean and interesting formula, which matches up perfectly with the non-dyadic case in terms of the Gross-Keating invariants. This work is used to compare the central derivative of a genus two Eisenstein series with certain generating function of arithmetic 0-cycles on certain Shimura curve, in a joint work with Kudla and Rapoport.     

Aggregation on Finite Ordinal Scales by Scale Independent Functions

We define and investigate the scale independent aggregation functions that are meaningful to aggregate finite ordinal numerical scales. Here scale independence means that the functions always have discrete representatives when the ordinal scales are considered as totally ordered finite sets. We also show that those scale independent functions identify with the so-called order invariant functions, which have been described recently. In particular, this identification allows us to justify the continuity property for certain order invariant functions in a natural way.

On the comparison of the spaces

The notion of -variation and the space arise in the study of regularity properties of solutions to perturbed conservation laws. In this article we show that this notion is equivalent to variation in the regular sense, and therefore the space is the same as the space in the sense of Cesari-Tonelli. We also point out some connection between the space and the Favard classes for translation semigroups.

Relativistic Linear Spacetime Transformations Based on Symmetry

Usually the Lorentz transformations are derived from the conservation of the spacetime interval. We propose here a way of obtaining spacetime transformations between two inertial frames directly from symmetry, the isotropy of the space and principle of relativity. The transformation is uniquely defined except for a constant e, that depends only on the process of synchronization of clocks inside each system. Relativistic velocity addition is obtained, and it is shown that the set of velocities is a bounded symmetric domain. If e=0, Galilean transformations are obtained. If e>0, the speed 1/e and a spacetime interval are conserved. By assuming constancy of the speed of light, we get e=1/c ² and the transformation between the frames becomes the Lorentz transformation. If e<0, a proper speed and a Hilbertian norm are conserved.     

Spectral Properties of a Piecewise Linear Intermittent Map

For a piecewise linear intermittent map, the evolution of statistical averages of a class of observables with respect to piecewise constant initial densities is investigated and generalized eigenfunctions of the Frobenius–Perron operator ^P are explicitly derived. The evolution of the averages are shown to be a superposition of the contributions from two simple eigenvalues 1 and _d (–1, 0), and a continuous spectrum on the unit interval [0,1] of ^P. Power-law decay of correlations are controlled by the continuous spectrum. Also the non-normalizable invariant measure in the non-stationary regime is shown to determine the strength of the power-law decay.     

On Iwasawa -invariants of cyclic cubic fields of prime conductor

For certain cyclic cubic fields , we verified that Iwasawa invariants vanished by calculating units of abelian number field of degree 27. Our method is based on the explicit representation of a system of cyclotomic units of those fields.

     

Invariant Sets and Exact Solutions to Nonlinear Diffusion Equations with x-Dependent Convection and Absorption

In this paper, we introduce a new invariant set ˜E₀={u:u_x=f^ˊ(x)F(u)+ε [g^ˊ(x) -f^ˊ(x)g(x)]F(u)exp(-∫^u(1/F(z))dz), where f and g are some smooth functions of x, ε is a constant, and F is a smooth function to be determined. The invariant sets and exact solutions to nonlinear diffusion equation u_t=(D(u)u_x)_x+Q(x,u)u_x+P(x,u), are discussed. It is shown that there exist several classes of solutions to the equation that belong to the invariant set ˜E₀.
