Lattice Approach to Wigner-Type Theorems

The Wigner's Theorem states that a bijective transformation of the set of all one-dimensional linear subspaces of a complex Hilbert space which preserves orthogonality is induced by either a unitary or an anti-unitary operator. There exist many Wigner-type theorems, in particular in indefinite metric spaces, von Neumanns algebras and Banach spaces and we try to find a common origin of all these results by using properties of the lattice subspaces of certain topological vector spaces. We prove a Wigner-type theorem for a pair of dual spaces which allows us to obtain, as particular cases, the usual Wigner's Theorem and some of its generalizations.

The Orthomodular Poset of Projections of A Symmetric Lattices

In a Hilbert space, there exists a natural correspondence between continuous projections and particular pairs of closed subspaces. In this paper, we generalize this situation and associate to a symmetric lattice L a subset P(L) of L× L, called its projection poset. If L is the lattice of closed subspaces of a topological vector space then elements of P(L) correspond to continuous projections and we prove that automorphisms of P(L) are determined by automorphisms of the lattice L when this lattice satisfies some basic properties of lattices of closed subspaces.

On Tori Triangulations Associated with Two-Dimensional Continued Fractions of Cubic Irrationalities

The notion of equivalence of multidimensional continued fractions is introduced. We consider some properties and state some conjectures related to the structure of the family of equivalence classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions. Our approach to the study of the family of equivalence classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions leads to revealing special subfamilies of continued fractions for which the triangulations of the torus (i.e., the combinatorics of their fundamental domains) are subjected to clear rules. Some of these subfamilies are studied in detail; the way to construct other similar subfamilies is indicated.     

On the Representation of Primes by Cubic Polynomials in Two Variables

In an earlier paper (see Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 84 (2002)257–288) we showed that an irreducible integral binarycubic form f(x, y) attains infinitely many prime values, providingthat it has no fixed prime divisor. We now extend this resultby showing that f(m, n) still attains infinitely many primevalues if m and n are restricted by arbitrary congruence conditions,providing that there is still no fixed prime divisor. Two immediate consequences for the solvability of diagonal cubicDiophantine equations are given. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification11N32 (primary), 11N36, 11R44 (secondary).     

Isoperimetric inequalities in crystallography

Given a cubic space group (viewed as a finite group of isometries of the torus ), we obtain sharp isoperimetric inequalities for -invariant regions. These inequalities depend on the minimum number of points in an orbit of and on the largest Euler characteristic among nonspherical -symmetric surfaces minimizing the area under volume constraint (we also give explicit estimates of this second invariant for the various crystallographic cubic groups ). As an example, we prove that any surface dividing into two equal volumes with the same (orientation-preserving) symmetries as the A. Schoen minimal Gyroid has area at least (the conjectured minimizing surface in this case is the Gyroid itself whose area is ).

     

论略萨小说的“零件组合与立体叙事”艺术

略萨是结构现实主义小说的代表作家,主张"立体"地反映多样化的现实生活.为此,他在创作中积极引进了立体绘画艺术中的"粘贴"、"并置"等技巧,把多个故事的多个片段打乱并置在一起,既像色彩斑斓的粘贴画,又像细碎零件的有机组合,在时空交叉、跳跃中,多层面、多维度、多棱体地反映了现实生活的原生态.这样,小说的叙事就成为"立体"的,而读者的阅读随之也成为"立体"的了.     

Ising-Type and Other Transitions in One-Dimensional Coupled Map Lattices with Sign Symmetry

We consider a one-dimensional lattice of expanding antisymmetric maps [–1, 1][–1, 1] with nearest neighbor diffusive coupling. For such systems it is known that if the coupling parameter is small there is unique stationary (in time) state, which is chaotic in space-time. A disputed question is whether such systems can exhibit Ising-type phase transitions as grows beyond some critical value _c. We present results from computer experiments which give definite indication that such a transition takes place: the mean square magnetization appears to diverge as approaches some critical value, with a critical exponent around 0.9. We also study other properties of the coupled map system.     

Degree of strata of singular cubic surfaces

We determine the degree of some strata of singular cubic surfaces in the projective space . These strata are subvarieties of the parametrizing all cubic surfaces in . It is known what their dimension is and that they are irreducible. In 1986, D. F. Coray and I. Vainsencher computed the degree of the 4 strata consisting on cubic surfaces with a double line. To work out the case of isolated singularities we relate the problem with (stationary) multiple-point theory.

Spaces with Dual Order-Isomorphic to ℓ1

We establish that an ordered Banach space is order-isomorphic to c₀ if and only if it is a -Dedekind complete vector lattice and its norm dual is order-isomorphic to ₁.
