Book Cohomological Invariants  Exceptional Groups and Spin Groups

Download or read book Cohomological Invariants Exceptional Groups and Spin Groups written by Skip Garibaldi and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume concerns invariants of $G$-torsors with values in mod $p$ Galois cohomology--in the sense of Serre's lectures in the book Cohomological invariants in Galois cohomology--for various simple algebraic groups $G$ and primes $p$. The author determines the invariants for the exceptional groups $F_4$ mod 3, simply connected $E_6$ mod 3, $E_7$ mod 3, and $E_8$ mod 5. He also determines the invariants of $\mathrm{Spin}_n$ mod 2 for $n \leq 12$ and constructs some invariants of $\mathrm{Spin}_{14}$. Along the way, the author proves that certain maps in nonabelian cohomology are surjective. These surjectivities give as corollaries Pfister's results on 10- and 12-dimensional quadratic forms and Rost's theorem on 14-dimensional quadratic forms. This material on quadratic forms and invariants of $\mathrm{Spin}_n$ is based on unpublished work of Markus Rost. An appendix by Detlev Hoffmann proves a generalization of the Common Slot Theorem for 2-Pfister quadratic forms.

Book Algebraic Groups  Structure and Actions

Download or read book Algebraic Groups Structure and Actions written by Mahir Bilen Can and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 2015 Clifford Lectures on Algebraic Groups: Structures and Actions, held from March 2–5, 2015, at Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana. This volume consists of six articles on algebraic groups, including an enhanced exposition of the classical results of Chevalley and Rosenlicht on the structure of algebraic groups; an enhanced survey of the recently developed theory of pseudo-reductive groups; and an exposition of the recently developed operational -theory for singular varieties. In addition, there are three research articles containing previously unpublished foundational results on birational automorphism groups of algebraic varieties; solution of Hermite-Joubert problem over -closed fields; and cohomological invariants and applications to classifying spaces. The old and new results presented in these articles will hopefully become cornerstones for the future development of the theory of algebraic groups and applications. Graduate students and researchers working in the fields of algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory will benefit from this unique and broad compilation of fundamental results on algebraic group theory.

Book Unitary Invariants in Multivariable Operator Theory

Download or read book Unitary Invariants in Multivariable Operator Theory written by Gelu Popescu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper concerns unitary invariants for $n$-tuples $T:=(T_1,\ldots, T_n)$ of (not necessarily commuting) bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces. The author introduces a notion of joint numerical radius and works out its basic properties. Multivariable versions of Berger's dilation theorem, Berger-Kato-Stampfli mapping theorem, and Schwarz's lemma from complex analysis are obtained. The author studies the joint (spatial) numerical range of $T$ in connection with several unitary invariants for $n$-tuples of operators such as: right joint spectrum, joint numerical radius, euclidean operator radius, and joint spectral radius. He also proves an analogue of Toeplitz-Hausdorff theorem on the convexity of the spatial numerical range of an operator on a Hilbert space, for the joint numerical range of operators in the noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebra $F_n^\infty$.

Book Lyapunov Exponents and Invariant Manifolds for Random Dynamical Systems in a Banach Space

Book Generalized Noncrossing Partitions and Combinatorics of Coxeter Groups

Download or read book Generalized Noncrossing Partitions and Combinatorics of Coxeter Groups written by Drew Armstrong and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir is a refinement of the author's PhD thesis -- written at Cornell University (2006). It is primarily a desription of new research but also includes a substantial amount of background material. At the heart of the memoir the author introduces and studies a poset $NC^{(k)}(W)$ for each finite Coxeter group $W$ and each positive integer $k$. When $k=1$, his definition coincides with the generalized noncrossing partitions introduced by Brady and Watt in $K(\pi, 1)$'s for Artin groups of finite type and Bessis in The dual braid monoid. When $W$ is the symmetric group, the author obtains the poset of classical $k$-divisible noncrossing partitions, first studied by Edelman in Chain enumeration and non-crossing partitions.

Book Centres of Centralizers of Unipotent Elements in Simple Algebraic Groups

Download or read book Centres of Centralizers of Unipotent Elements in Simple Algebraic Groups written by Ross Lawther and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let G be a simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k whose characteristic is either 0 or a good prime for G, and let uEG be unipotent. The authors study the centralizer CG(u), especially its centre Z(CG(u)). They calculate the Lie algebra of Z(CG(u)), in particular determining its dimension; they prove a succession of theorems of increasing generality, the last of which provides a formula for dim Z(CG(u)) in terms of the labelled diagram associated to the conjugacy class containing u.

Book The Quadratic Isoperimetric Inequality for Mapping Tori of Free Group Automorphisms

Download or read book The Quadratic Isoperimetric Inequality for Mapping Tori of Free Group Automorphisms written by Martin R. Bridson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors prove that if $F$ is a finitely generated free group and $\phi$ is an automorphism of $F$ then $F\rtimes_\phi\mathbb Z$ satisfies a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. The authors' proof of this theorem rests on a direct study of the geometry of van Kampen diagrams over the natural presentations of free-by-cylic groups. The main focus of this study is on the dynamics of the time flow of $t$-corridors, where $t$ is the generator of the $\mathbb Z$ factor in $F\rtimes_\phi\mathbb Z$ and a $t$-corridor is a chain of 2-cells extending across a van Kampen diagram with adjacent 2-cells abutting along an edge labelled $t$. The authors prove that the length of $t$-corridors in any least-area diagram is bounded by a constant times the perimeter of the diagram, where the constant depends only on $\phi$. The authors' proof that such a constant exists involves a detailed analysis of the ways in which the length of a word $w\in F$ can grow and shrink as one replaces $w$ by a sequence of words $w_m$, where $w_m$ is obtained from $\phi(w_{m-1})$ by various cancellation processes. In order to make this analysis feasible, the authors develop a refinement of the improved relative train track technology due to Bestvina, Feighn and Handel.

Book Operator Algebras for Multivariable Dynamics

Download or read book Operator Algebras for Multivariable Dynamics written by Kenneth R. Davidson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space with $n$ proper continuous self maps $\sigma_i:X \to X$ for $1 \le i \le n$. To this the authors associate two conjugacy operator algebras which emerge as the natural candidates for the universal algebra of the system, the tensor algebra $\mathcal{A}(X,\tau)$ and the semicrossed product $\mathrm{C}_0(X)\times_\tau\mathbb{F}_n^+$. They develop the necessary dilation theory for both models. In particular, they exhibit an explicit family of boundary representations which determine the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra.|Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space with $n$ proper continuous self maps $\sigma_i:X \to X$ for $1 \le i \le n$.

Book Points and Curves in the Monster Tower

Download or read book Points and Curves in the Monster Tower written by Richard Montgomery and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartan introduced the method of prolongation which can be applied either to manifolds with distributions (Pfaffian systems) or integral curves to these distributions. Repeated application of prolongation to the plane endowed with its tangent bundle yields the Monster tower, a sequence of manifolds, each a circle bundle over the previous one, each endowed with a rank $2$ distribution. In an earlier paper (2001), the authors proved that the problem of classifying points in the Monster tower up to symmetry is the same as the problem of classifying Goursat distribution flags up to local diffeomorphism. The first level of the Monster tower is a three-dimensional contact manifold and its integral curves are Legendrian curves. The philosophy driving the current work is that all questions regarding the Monster tower (and hence regarding Goursat distribution germs) can be reduced to problems regarding Legendrian curve singularities.
