Fixed point properties for semigroup of nonexpansive mappings on Fréchet spaces

In this paper, we shall establish a fixed point property on Fréchet spaces for left reversible semitopological semigroups generalizing some classical results.     

Poincaré Semigroup Symmetry as an Emergent Property of Unstable Systems

The notion that elementary systems correspond to irreducible representations of the Poincaré group is the starting point for this paper, which then goes on to discuss how a semigroup for the time evolution of unstable states and resonances could emerge from the underlying Poincaré symmetry. Important tools in this analysis are the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for the Poincaré group.     

On Sobolev infinitesimal rigidity of linear hyperbolic actions on the 2-torus*

Let A be a symmetric hyperbolic matrix in SL(2, ℤ) and Γ the subgroup of SL(2, ℤ) generated by A. We aim to study the infinitesimal rigidity of the standard action of Γ on the torus . More precisely, we will consider the Sobolev W^s–infinitesimal rigidity of this action (that is to determine if the cohomology space H¹(Γ,W^s (T M)) is trivial or not), and show that it is W^s–infinitesimally rigid only if 0 ≤ s < 1. A consequence will be that this action is not C^∞–infinitesimally rigid. *I would like to thank A. El Kacimi for introducing me this problem about which we had many fruitful discussions.     

On the Stability of Functional Equations and a Problem of Ulam

In this paper, we study the stability of functional equations that has its origins with S. M. Ulam, who posed the fundamental problem 60 years ago and with D. H. Hyers, who gave the first significant partial solution in 1941. In particular, during the last two decades, the notion of stability of functional equations has evolved into an area of continuing research from both pure and applied viewpoints. Both classical results and current research are presented in a unified and self-contained fashion. In addition, related problems are investigated. Some of the applications deal with nonlinear equations in Banach spaces and complementarity theory.     

Lagrangian Description of World-Line Deviations

We introduce a Lagrangian which can be varied to give both the equation of motion and world-line deviations of spinning particles simultaneously.     

Probability theory and polymer physics

This study applies the theory of stochastic processes to the equilibrium statistical physics of polymers in solution. The topics treated include random copolymers and randomly branching polymers, with self-consistent mean field effects. A new and more natural way of dealing with Boltzmann weighting is discussed, which makes it possible from the beginning of a calculation to consider only the physical polymer conformations. We also show that in general the random copolymer problem can be reduced to the ordinary polymer problem, and treat the self-consistent field problem for a general branching polymer.     

Global solutions of the Boltzmann equation on a lattice

The nonlinear Boltzmann equation with a discretized spatial variable is studied in a Banach space of absolutely integrable functions of the velocity variables. Conservation laws and positivity are utilized to extend weak local solutions to a global solution. This is shown to be a strong solution by analytic semigroup techniques.Supported by National Science Foundation Grant ENG-7515882.     

The Closed Subsemigroups of a Clifford Semigroup

In this paper we study the closed subsemigroups of a Clifford semigroup. It is shown that {∪α∈Y′ Gα | Y′∈ P(Y) } is the set of all closed subsemigroups of a Clifford semigroup S = [Y; Gα; ?α, β], where Y′denotes the subsemilattice of Y generated by Y′. In particular, G is the only closed subsemigroup of itself for a group G and each one of subsemilattices of a semilattice is closed. Also, it is shown that the semiring P(S) is isomorphic to the semiring P(Y) for a Clifford semigroup S = [Y; Gα; ?α, β].
