Download or read book Intersection Pairings on Conley Indices written by Henry L. Kurland and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir is a careful and detailed study of the intersection pairing in the Conley index. The Conley index associates to an isolated invariant set of a semiflow (with some mild compactness conditions) a homotopy type of a space, constructed to be invariant under perturbations of the flow. The homology of this space is the homology Conley index. For a (two-sided) flow, each isolated invariant set has two indices defined: one for the forward flow, and one for the reverse. In general, there is no relationship between these two indices, but when the flow is on an orientable manifold, the two indices can be related by an intersection pairing. It is this pairing that receives a careful and detailed study in this memoir. Results are then applied to the motivating example of the work: the existence of transition layer behavior for two-point boundary value problems of singularly perturbed systems.

Download or read book Higher Multiplicities and Almost Free Divisors and Complete Intersections written by James Damon and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost free divisors and complete intersections form a general class of nonisolated hypersurface and completer intersection singularities. They also include discriminants of mappings, bifurcation sets, and certain types of arrangements of hyperplanes such as Coxeter arrangements and generic arrangements. Associated to the singularities of this class is a "singular Milnor fibration" which has the same homotopy properties as the Milnor fibration for isolated singularities. This memoir deduces topological properties of singularities in a number of situations including: complements of hyperplane arrangements, various nonisolated complete intersections, nonlinear arrangements of hypersurfaces, functions on discriminants, singularities defined by compositions of functions, and bifurcation sets.

Download or read book Generalized Symplectic Geometries and the Index of Families of Elliptic Problems written by Liviu I. Nicolaescu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, an index theorem is proved for arbitrary families of elliptic boundary value problems for Dirac operators and a surgery formula for the index of a family of Dirac operators on a closed manifold. Also obtained is a very general result on the cobordism invariance of the index of a family. All results are established by first symplectically rephrasing the problems and then using a generalized symplectic reduction technique. This provides a unified approach to all possible parameter spaces and all possible symmetries of a Dirac operator (eigh symmetries in the real case and two in the complex case). This text will also be of interest to those working in geometry and topology.

Download or read book Geometric Methods for Discrete Dynamical Systems written by Robert W. Easton and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at dynamics as an iteration process where the output of a function is fed back as an input to determine the evolution of an initial state over time. The theory examines errors which arise from round-off in numerical simulations, from the inexactness of mathematical models used to describe physical processes, and from the effects of external controls. The author provides an introduction accessible to beginning graduate students and emphasizing geometric aspects of the theory. Conley's ideas about rough orbits and chain-recurrence play a central role in the treatment. The book will be a useful reference for mathematicians, scientists, and engineers studying this field, and an ideal text for graduate courses in dynamical systems.

Download or read book Stratifying Endomorphism Algebras written by Edward Cline and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a systematic study of the relationships between the representation theories of [italic capital]R and [italic capital]A, especially those involving actual or potential quasi-hereditary structures on the latter algebra. Our original motivation comes from the theory of Schur algebras, work of Soergel on the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category [script capital]O, and resent results of Dlab-Heath-Marko realizing certain endomorphism algebras as quasi-hereditary algebras. We synthesize common features of all these examples, and go beyond them in a number of new directions.

Download or read book Two Classes of Riemannian Manifolds Whose Geodesic Flows Are Integrable written by Kazuyoshi Kiyohara and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two classes of manifolds whose geodesic flows are integrable are defined, and their global structures are investigated. They are called Liouville manifolds and Kahler-Liouville manifolds respectively. In each case, the author finds several invariants with which they are partly classified. The classification indicates, in particular, that these classes contain many new examples of manifolds with integrable geodesic flow.

Download or read book Lie Groups and Subsemigroups with Surjective Exponential Function written by Karl Heinrich Hofmann and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the structure theory of real Lie groups, there is still information lacking about the exponential function. Most notably, there are no general necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponential function to be surjective. It is surprising that for subsemigroups of Lie groups, the question of the surjectivity of the exponential function can be answered. Under nature reductions setting aside the "group part" of the problem, subsemigroups of Lie groups with surjective exponential function are completely classified and explicitly constructed in this memoir. There are fewer than one would think and the proofs are harder than one would expect, requiring some innovative twists. The main protagonists on the scene are SL(2, R) and its universal covering group, almost abelian solvable Lie groups (ie. vector groups extended by homotheties), and compact Lie groups. This text will also be of interest to those working in algebra and algebraic geometry.

This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir studies reducibility in a certain class of induced representations for and , where is -adic. In particular, it is concerned with representations obtained by inducing a one-dimensional representation from a maximal parabolic subgroup (i.e., degenerate principal series representations). Using the Jacquet module techniques of Tadić, the reducibility points for such representations are determined. When reducible, the composition series is described, giving Langlands data and Jacquet modules for the irreducible composition factors.

Download or read book Abelian Galois Cohomology of Reductive Groups written by Mikhail Borovoi and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, a new function H 2/ab (K, G) of abelian Galois cohomology is introduced from the category of connected reductive groups G over a field K of characteristic 0 to the category of abelian groups. The abelian Galois cohomology and the abelianization map ab1: H1 (K, G) -- H 2/ab (K, G) are used to give a functorial, almost explicit description of the usual Galois cohomology set H1 (K, G) when K is a number field

Download or read book The Fundamental Lemma for the Shalika Subgroup of GL 4 written by Solomon Friedberg and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors establish the fundamental lemma for a relative trace formula. The trace formula compares generic automorphic representations of [italic capitals]GS[italic]p(4) with automorphic representations of [italic capitals]GS(4) which are distinguished with respect to a character of the Shalika subgroup, the subgroup of matrices of 2 x 2 block form ([superscript italic]g [over] [subscript capital italic]X [and] 0 [over] [superscript italic]g). The fundamental lemma, giving the equality of the orbital integrals of the unit elements of the respective Hecke algebras, amounts to a comparison of certain exponential sums arising from these two different groups.

Download or read book Large Time Behavior of Solutions for General Quasilinear Hyperbolic Parabolic Systems of Conservation Laws written by Tai-Ping Liu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are interested in the time-asymptotic behavior of solutions to viscous conservation laws. Through the pointwise estimates for the Green's function of the linearized system and the analysis of coupling of nonlinear diffusion waves, we obtain explicit expressions of the time-asymptotic behavior of the solutions. This yields optimal estimates in the integral norms. For most physical models, the viscosity matrix is not positive definite and the system is hyperbolic-parabolic, and not uniformly parabolic. This implies that the Green's function may contain Dirac [lowercase Greek]Delta-functions. When the corresponding inviscid system is non-strictly hyperbolic, the time-asymptotic state contains generalized Burgers solutions. These are illustrated by applying our general theory to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations and the equations of magnetohydrodynamics.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about tree-like structures, namely semilinear ordering, general betweenness relations, C-relations and D-relations. It contains a systematic study of betweenness and introduces C- and D- relations to describe the behaviour of points at infinity (leaves or ends or directions of trees). The focus is on structure theorems and on automorphism groups, with applications to the theory of infinite permutation groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We undertake a systematic study of cyclic phenomena for composition operators. Our work shows that composition operators exhibit strikingly diverse types of cyclic behavior, and it connects this behavior with classical problems involving complex polynomial approximation and analytic functional equations.

Download or read book A Continuum Limit of the Toda Lattice written by Percy Deift and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1998 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors describe a continuum limit of the Toda ODE system, obtained by taking as initial data for the finite lattice successively finer discretizations of two smooth functions. Using the integrability of the finite Toda lattice, the authors adapt the method introduced by Lax and Levermore for the study of the small dispersion limit of the Korteweg de Vries equations to the case of the Toda lattice. A general class of initial data is considered which permits, in particular, the formation of shocks. A feature of the analysis in this book is an extensive use of techniques from the theory of Riemann-Hilbert problems.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this power we show how to compute the parameter space [italic capital]X for the versal deformation of an isolated singularity ([italic capital]V, 0) under the assumptions [italic]dim [italic capital]V [greater than or equal to symbol] 4, depth {0} [italic capital]V [greater than or equal to symbol] 3, from the CR-structure on a link [italic capital]M of the singularity. We do this by showing that the space [italic capital]X is isomorphic to the space (denoted here by [script capital]K[subscript italic capital]M) associated to [italic capital]M by Kuranishi in 1977. In fact we produce isomorphisms of the associated complete local rings by producing quasi-isomorphisms of the controlling differential graded Lie algebras for the corresponding formal deformation theories.

Download or read book Analytic Deformations of the Spectrum of a Family of Dirac Operators on an Odd Dimensional Manifold with Boundary written by Paul Kirk and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analytic perturbation theory for eigenvalues of Dirac operators on odd dimensional manifolds with boundary is described in terms of [italic]extended L2 eigenvectors [end italics] on manifolds with cylindrical ends. These are generalizations of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer extended [italic capital]L2 kernel of a Dirac operator. We prove that they form a discrete set near zero and deform analytically, in contrast to [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors, which can be absorbed into the continuous spectrum under deformations when the tangential operator is not invertible. We show that the analytic deformation theory for extended [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors and Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eigenvectors coincides.

Book excerpt: This book provides a unified treatment for the study of the existence of equilibria of abstract economics in topological vector spaces from the viewpoint of Ky Fan minimax inequalities, which strongly depend on his infinite dimensional version of the classical Knaster, Kuratowski and Mazurkiewicz Lemma (KKM Lemma) in 1961. Studied are applications of general system versions of minimax inequalities and generalized quasi-variational inequalities, and random abstract economies and its applications to the system of random quasi-variational inequalities are given.
