This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The automorphisms of a two-generator free group F acting on the space of orientation-preserving isometric actions of F on hyperbolic 3-space defines a dynamical system. Those actions which preserve a hyperbolic plane but not an orientation on that plane is an invariant subsystem, which reduces to an action of a group on by polynomial automorphisms preserving the cubic polynomial and an area form on the level surfaces .
Download or read book Automorphisms of Fusion Systems of Finite Simple Groups of Lie Type written by Carles Broto and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a finite group G of Lie type and a prime p, the authors compare the automorphism groups of the fusion and linking systems of G at p with the automorphism group of G itself. When p is the defining characteristic of G, they are all isomorphic, with a very short list of exceptions. When p is different from the defining characteristic, the situation is much more complex but can always be reduced to a case where the natural map from Out(G) to outer automorphisms of the fusion or linking system is split surjective. This work is motivated in part by questions involving extending the local structure of a group by a group of automorphisms, and in part by wanting to describe self homotopy equivalences of BG∧p in terms of Out(G).

Download or read book The Triangle Free Process and the Ramsey Number R 3 k written by Gonzalo Fiz Pontiveros and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The areas of Ramsey theory and random graphs have been closely linked ever since Erdős's famous proof in 1947 that the “diagonal” Ramsey numbers R(k) grow exponentially in k. In the early 1990s, the triangle-free process was introduced as a model which might potentially provide good lower bounds for the “off-diagonal” Ramsey numbers R(3,k). In this model, edges of Kn are introduced one-by-one at random and added to the graph if they do not create a triangle; the resulting final (random) graph is denoted Gn,△. In 2009, Bohman succeeded in following this process for a positive fraction of its duration, and thus obtained a second proof of Kim's celebrated result that R(3,k)=Θ(k2/logk). In this paper the authors improve the results of both Bohman and Kim and follow the triangle-free process all the way to its asymptotic end.
Download or read book Rigid Character Groups Lubin Tate Theory and Modules written by Laurent Berger and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of the p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL2(Qp) uses in an essential way Fontaine's theory of cyclotomic (φ,Γ)-modules. Here cyclotomic means that Γ=Gal(Qp(μp∞)/Qp) is the Galois group of the cyclotomic extension of Qp. In order to generalize the p-adic local Langlands correspondence to GL2(L), where L is a finite extension of Qp, it seems necessary to have at our disposal a theory of Lubin-Tate (φ,Γ)-modules. Such a generalization has been carried out, to some extent, by working over the p-adic open unit disk, endowed with the action of the endomorphisms of a Lubin-Tate group. The main idea of this article is to carry out a Lubin-Tate generalization of the theory of cyclotomic (φ,Γ)-modules in a different fashion. Instead of the p-adic open unit disk, the authors work over a character variety that parameterizes the locally L-analytic characters on oL. They study (φ,Γ)-modules in this setting and relate some of them to what was known previously.
Download or read book The Bounded and Precise Word Problems for Presentations of Groups written by S. V. Ivanov and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author introduces and studies the bounded word problem and the precise word problem for groups given by means of generators and defining relations. For example, for every finitely presented group, the bounded word problem is in NP, i.e., it can be solved in nondeterministic polynomial time, and the precise word problem is in PSPACE, i.e., it can be solved in polynomial space. The main technical result of the paper states that, for certain finite presentations of groups, which include the Baumslag-Solitar one-relator groups and free products of cyclic groups, the bounded word problem and the precise word problem can be solved in polylogarithmic space. As consequences of developed techniques that can be described as calculus of brackets, the author obtains polylogarithmic space bounds for the computational complexity of the diagram problem for free groups, for the width problem for elements of free groups, and for computation of the area defined by polygonal singular closed curves in the plane. The author also obtains polynomial time bounds for these problems.

This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the authors prove global well-posedness of the massless Maxwell–Dirac equation in the Coulomb gauge on R1+d(d≥4) for data with small scale-critical Sobolev norm, as well as modified scattering of the solutions. Main components of the authors' proof are A) uncovering null structure of Maxwell–Dirac in the Coulomb gauge, and B) proving solvability of the underlying covariant Dirac equation. A key step for achieving both is to exploit (and justify) a deep analogy between Maxwell–Dirac and Maxwell-Klein-Gordon (for which an analogous result was proved earlier by Krieger-Sterbenz-Tataru, which says that the most difficult part of Maxwell–Dirac takes essentially the same form as Maxwell-Klein-Gordon.
Download or read book A Unified Approach to Structural Limits and Limits of Graphs with Bounded Tree Depth written by Jaroslav Nešetřil and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper the authors introduce a general framework for the study of limits of relational structures and graphs in particular, which is based on a combination of model theory and (functional) analysis. The authors show how the various approaches to graph limits fit to this framework and that the authors naturally appear as “tractable cases” of a general theory. As an outcome of this, the authors provide extensions of known results. The authors believe that this puts these into a broader context. The second part of the paper is devoted to the study of sparse structures. First, the authors consider limits of structures with bounded diameter connected components and prove that in this case the convergence can be “almost” studied component-wise. They also propose the structure of limit objects for convergent sequences of sparse structures. Eventually, they consider the specific case of limits of colored rooted trees with bounded height and of graphs with bounded tree-depth, motivated by their role as “elementary bricks” these graphs play in decompositions of sparse graphs, and give an explicit construction of a limit object in this case. This limit object is a graph built on a standard probability space with the property that every first-order definable set of tuples is measurable. This is an example of the general concept of modeling the authors introduce here. Their example is also the first “intermediate class” with explicitly defined limit structures where the inverse problem has been solved.

This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the new tools mentioned above apply to non-orientable minimal surfaces endowed with a fixed choice of a conformal structure. This enables the authors to obtain significant new applications to the global theory of non-orientable minimal surfaces. In particular, they construct proper non-orientable conformal minimal surfaces in Rn with any given conformal structure, complete non-orientable minimal surfaces in Rn with arbitrary conformal type whose generalized Gauss map is nondegenerate and omits n hyperplanes of CPn−1 in general position, complete non-orientable minimal surfaces bounded by Jordan curves, and complete proper non-orientable minimal surfaces normalized by bordered surfaces in p-convex domains of Rn.
Download or read book Geometric Optics for Surface Waves in Nonlinear Elasticity written by Jean-François Coulombel and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is devoted to the analysis of high frequency solutions to the equations of nonlinear elasticity in a half-space. The authors consider surface waves (or more precisely, Rayleigh waves) arising in the general class of isotropic hyperelastic models, which includes in particular the Saint Venant-Kirchhoff system. Work has been done by a number of authors since the 1980s on the formulation and well-posedness of a nonlinear evolution equation whose (exact) solution gives the leading term of an approximate Rayleigh wave solution to the underlying elasticity equations. This evolution equation, which is referred to as “the amplitude equation”, is an integrodifferential equation of nonlocal Burgers type. The authors begin by reviewing and providing some extensions of the theory of the amplitude equation. The remainder of the paper is devoted to a rigorous proof in 2D that exact, highly oscillatory, Rayleigh wave solutions uε to the nonlinear elasticity equations exist on a fixed time interval independent of the wavelength ε, and that the approximate Rayleigh wave solution provided by the analysis of the amplitude equation is indeed close in a precise sense to uε on a time interval independent of ε. This paper focuses mainly on the case of Rayleigh waves that are pulses, which have profiles with continuous Fourier spectrum, but the authors' method applies equally well to the case of wavetrains, whose Fourier spectrum is discrete.
Download or read book Propagating Terraces and the Dynamics of Front Like Solutions of Reaction Diffusion Equations on R written by Peter Poláčik and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author considers semilinear parabolic equations of the form ut=uxx+f(u),x∈R,t>0, where f a C1 function. Assuming that 0 and γ>0 are constant steady states, the author investigates the large-time behavior of the front-like solutions, that is, solutions u whose initial values u(x,0) are near γ for x≈−∞ and near 0 for x≈∞. If the steady states 0 and γ are both stable, the main theorem shows that at large times, the graph of u(⋅,t) is arbitrarily close to a propagating terrace (a system of stacked traveling fonts). The author proves this result without requiring monotonicity of u(⋅,0) or the nondegeneracy of zeros of f. The case when one or both of the steady states 0, γ is unstable is considered as well. As a corollary to the author's theorems, he shows that all front-like solutions are quasiconvergent: their ω-limit sets with respect to the locally uniform convergence consist of steady states. In the author's proofs he employs phase plane analysis, intersection comparison (or, zero number) arguments, and a geometric method involving the spatial trajectories {(u(x,t),ux(x,t)):x∈R}, t>0, of the solutions in question.
Download or read book Higher Orbifolds and Deligne Mumford Stacks as Structured Infinity Topoi written by David Carchedi and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author develops a universal framework to study smooth higher orbifolds on the one hand and higher Deligne-Mumford stacks (as well as their derived and spectral variants) on the other, and use this framework to obtain a completely categorical description of which stacks arise as the functor of points of such objects. He chooses to model higher orbifolds and Deligne-Mumford stacks as infinity-topoi equipped with a structure sheaf, thus naturally generalizing the work of Lurie, but his approach applies not only to different settings of algebraic geometry such as classical algebraic geometry, derived algebraic geometry, and the algebraic geometry of commutative ring spectra but also to differential topology, complex geometry, the theory of supermanifolds, derived manifolds etc., where it produces a theory of higher generalized orbifolds appropriate for these settings. This universal framework yields new insights into the general theory of Deligne-Mumford stacks and orbifolds, including a representability criterion which gives a categorical characterization of such generalized Deligne-Mumford stacks. This specializes to a new categorical description of classical Deligne-Mumford stacks, which extends to derived and spectral Deligne-Mumford stacks as well.

This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors prove an elementary recursive bound on the degrees for Hilbert's 17th problem. More precisely they express a nonnegative polynomial as a sum of squares of rational functions and obtain as degree estimates for the numerators and denominators the following tower of five exponentials 222d4k where d is the number of variables of the input polynomial. The authors' method is based on the proof of an elementary recursive bound on the degrees for Stengle's Positivstellensatz. More precisely the authors give an algebraic certificate of the emptyness of the realization of a system of sign conditions and obtain as degree bounds for this certificate a tower of five exponentials, namely 22(2max{2,d}4k+s2kmax{2,d}16kbit(d)) where d is a bound on the degrees, s is the number of polynomials and k is the number of variables of the input polynomials.
Download or read book Quadratic Vector Equations on Complex Upper Half Plane written by Oskari Ajanki and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider the nonlinear equation −1m=z+Sm with a parameter z in the complex upper half plane H, where S is a positivity preserving symmetric linear operator acting on bounded functions. The solution with values in H is unique and its z-dependence is conveniently described as the Stieltjes transforms of a family of measures v on R. In a previous paper the authors qualitatively identified the possible singular behaviors of v: under suitable conditions on S we showed that in the density of v only algebraic singularities of degree two or three may occur. In this paper the authors give a comprehensive analysis of these singularities with uniform quantitative controls. They also find a universal shape describing the transition regime between the square root and cubic root singularities. Finally, motivated by random matrix applications in the authors' companion paper they present a complete stability analysis of the equation for any z∈H, including the vicinity of the singularities.
Download or read book Nonlinear Diffusion Equations and Curvature Conditions in Metric Measure Spaces written by Luigi Ambrosio and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to provide new characterizations of the curvature dimension condition in the context of metric measure spaces (X,d,m). On the geometric side, the authors' new approach takes into account suitable weighted action functionals which provide the natural modulus of K-convexity when one investigates the convexity properties of N-dimensional entropies. On the side of diffusion semigroups and evolution variational inequalities, the authors' new approach uses the nonlinear diffusion semigroup induced by the N-dimensional entropy, in place of the heat flow. Under suitable assumptions (most notably the quadraticity of Cheeger's energy relative to the metric measure structure) both approaches are shown to be equivalent to the strong CD∗(K,N) condition of Bacher-Sturm.
