Download or read book The Ricci Flow Techniques and Applications written by Bennett Chow and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ricci flow is a powerful technique using a heat-type equation to deform Riemannian metrics on manifolds to better metrics in the search for geometric decompositions. With the fourth part of their volume on techniques and applications of the theory, the authors discuss long-time solutions of the Ricci flow and related topics. In dimension 3, Perelman completed Hamilton's program to prove Thurston's geometrization conjecture. In higher dimensions the Ricci flow has remarkable properties, which indicates its usefulness to understand relations between the geometry and topology of manifolds. This book discusses recent developments on gradient Ricci solitons, which model the singularities developing under the Ricci flow. In the shrinking case there is a surprising rigidity which suggests the likelihood of a well-developed structure theory. A broader class of solutions is ancient solutions; the authors discuss the beautiful classification in dimension 2. In higher dimensions they consider both ancient and singular Type I solutions, which must have shrinking gradient Ricci soliton models. Next, Hamilton's theory of 3-dimensional nonsingular solutions is presented, following his original work. Historically, this theory initially connected the Ricci flow to the geometrization conjecture. From a dynamical point of view, one is interested in the stability of the Ricci flow. The authors discuss what is known about this basic problem. Finally, they consider the degenerate neckpinch singularity from both the numerical and theoretical perspectives. This book makes advanced material accessible to researchers and graduate students who are interested in the Ricci flow and geometric evolution equations and who have a knowledge of the fundamentals of the Ricci flow.

This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a previous study, the authors built the Bellman function for integral functionals on the space. The present paper provides a development of the subject. They abandon the majority of unwanted restrictions on the function that generates the functional. It is the new evolutional approach that allows the authors to treat the problem in its natural setting. What is more, these new considerations lighten dynamical aspects of the Bellman function, in particular, the evolution of its picture.

This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider the full irrotational water waves system with surface tension and no gravity in dimension two (the capillary waves system), and prove global regularity and modified scattering for suitably small and localized perturbations of a flat interface. An important point of the authors' analysis is to develop a sufficiently robust method (the “quasilinear I-method”) which allows the authors to deal with strong singularities arising from time resonances in the applications of the normal form method (the so-called “division problem”). As a result, they are able to consider a suitable class of perturbations with finite energy, but no other momentum conditions. Part of the authors' analysis relies on a new treatment of the Dirichlet-Neumann operator in dimension two which is of independent interest. As a consequence, the results in this paper are self-contained.

Download or read book Cluster Algebras and Triangulated Surfaces Part II Lambda Lengths written by Sergey Fomin and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For any cluster algebra whose underlying combinatorial data can be encoded by a bordered surface with marked points, the authors construct a geometric realization in terms of suitable decorated Teichmüller space of the surface. On the geometric side, this requires opening the surface at each interior marked point into an additional geodesic boundary component. On the algebraic side, it relies on the notion of a non-normalized cluster algebra and the machinery of tropical lambda lengths. The authors' model allows for an arbitrary choice of coefficients which translates into a choice of a family of integral laminations on the surface. It provides an intrinsic interpretation of cluster variables as renormalized lambda lengths of arcs on the surface. Exchange relations are written in terms of the shear coordinates of the laminations and are interpreted as generalized Ptolemy relations for lambda lengths. This approach gives alternative proofs for the main structural results from the authors' previous paper, removing unnecessary assumptions on the surface.

Download or read book Flat Rank Two Vector Bundles on Genus Two Curves written by Viktoria Heu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors study the moduli space of trace-free irreducible rank 2 connections over a curve of genus 2 and the forgetful map towards the moduli space of underlying vector bundles (including unstable bundles), for which they compute a natural Lagrangian rational section. As a particularity of the genus case, connections as above are invariant under the hyperelliptic involution: they descend as rank logarithmic connections over the Riemann sphere. The authors establish explicit links between the well-known moduli space of the underlying parabolic bundles with the classical approaches by Narasimhan-Ramanan, Tyurin and Bertram. This allows the authors to explain a certain number of geometric phenomena in the considered moduli spaces such as the classical -configuration of the Kummer surface. The authors also recover a Poincaré family due to Bolognesi on a degree 2 cover of the Narasimhan-Ramanan moduli space. They explicitly compute the Hitchin integrable system on the moduli space of Higgs bundles and compare the Hitchin Hamiltonians with those found by van Geemen-Previato. They explicitly describe the isomonodromic foliation in the moduli space of vector bundles with -connection over curves of genus 2 and prove the transversality of the induced flow with the locus of unstable bundles.

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 Fusion of Defects written by Arthur Bartels and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conformal nets provide a mathematical model for conformal field theory. The authors define a notion of defect between conformal nets, formalizing the idea of an interaction between two conformal field theories. They introduce an operation of fusion of defects, and prove that the fusion of two defects is again a defect, provided the fusion occurs over a conformal net of finite index. There is a notion of sector (or bimodule) between two defects, and operations of horizontal and vertical fusion of such sectors. The authors' most difficult technical result is that the horizontal fusion of the vacuum sectors of two defects is isomorphic to the vacuum sector of the fused defect. Equipped with this isomorphism, they construct the basic interchange isomorphism between the horizontal fusion of two vertical fusions and the vertical fusion of two horizontal fusions of sectors.

This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is an interval dynamics counterpart of three theories founded earlier by the authors, S. Smirnov and others in the setting of the iteration of rational maps on the Riemann sphere: the equivalence of several notions of non-uniform hyperbolicity, Geometric Pressure, and Nice Inducing Schemes methods leading to results in thermodynamical formalism. The authors work in a setting of generalized multimodal maps, that is, smooth maps f of a finite union of compact intervals Iˆ in R into R with non-flat critical points, such that on its maximal forward invariant set K the map f is topologically transitive and has positive topological entropy. They prove that several notions of non-uniform hyperbolicity of f|K are equivalent (including uniform hyperbolicity on periodic orbits, TCE & all periodic orbits in K hyperbolic repelling, Lyapunov hyperbolicity, and exponential shrinking of pull-backs). They prove that several definitions of geometric pressure P(t), that is pressure for the map f|K and the potential −tlog|f′|, give the same value (including pressure on periodic orbits, “tree” pressure, variational pressures and conformal pressure). Finally they prove that, provided all periodic orbits in K are hyperbolic repelling, the function P(t) is real analytic for t between the “condensation” and “freezing” parameters and that for each such t there exists unique equilibrium (and conformal) measure satisfying strong statistical properties.

Download or read book Quiver Grassmannians of Extended Dynkin Type D Part I Schubert Systems and Decompositions into Affine Spaces written by Oliver Lorscheid and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let Q be a quiver of extended Dynkin type D˜n. In this first of two papers, the authors show that the quiver Grassmannian Gre–(M) has a decomposition into affine spaces for every dimension vector e– and every indecomposable representation M of defect −1 and defect 0, with the exception of the non-Schurian representations in homogeneous tubes. The authors characterize the affine spaces in terms of the combinatorics of a fixed coefficient quiver for M. The method of proof is to exhibit explicit equations for the Schubert cells of Gre–(M) and to solve this system of equations successively in linear terms. This leads to an intricate combinatorial problem, for whose solution the authors develop the theory of Schubert systems. In Part 2 of this pair of papers, they extend the result of this paper to all indecomposable representations M of Q and determine explicit formulae for the F-polynomial of M.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors study crossed products of arbitrary operator algebras by locally compact groups of completely isometric automorphisms. They develop an abstract theory that allows for generalizations of many of the fundamental results from the selfadjoint theory to our context. They complement their generic results with the detailed study of many important special cases. In particular they study crossed products of tensor algebras, triangular AF algebras and various associated C -algebras. They make contributions to the study of C -envelopes, semisimplicity, the semi-Dirichlet property, Takai duality and the Hao-Ng isomorphism problem. They also answer questions from the pertinent literature.

This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, time changes of the Brownian motions on generalized Sierpinski carpets including n-dimensional cube [0,1]n are studied. Intuitively time change corresponds to alteration to density of the medium where the heat flows. In case of the Brownian motion on [0,1]n, density of the medium is homogeneous and represented by the Lebesgue measure. The author's study includes densities which are singular to the homogeneous one. He establishes a rich class of measures called measures having weak exponential decay. This class contains measures which are singular to the homogeneous one such as Liouville measures on [0,1]2 and self-similar measures. The author shows the existence of time changed process and associated jointly continuous heat kernel for this class of measures. Furthermore, he obtains diagonal lower and upper estimates of the heat kernel as time tends to 0. In particular, to express the principal part of the lower diagonal heat kernel estimate, he introduces “protodistance” associated with the density as a substitute of ordinary metric. If the density has the volume doubling property with respect to the Euclidean metric, the protodistance is shown to produce metrics under which upper off-diagonal sub-Gaussian heat kernel estimate and lower near diagonal heat kernel estimate will be shown.

Download or read book One Dimensional Empirical Measures Order Statistics and Kantorovich Transport Distances written by Sergey Bobkov and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is devoted to the study of rates of convergence of the empirical measures μn=1n∑nk=1δXk, n≥1, over a sample (Xk)k≥1 of independent identically distributed real-valued random variables towards the common distribution μ in Kantorovich transport distances Wp. The focus is on finite range bounds on the expected Kantorovich distances E(Wp(μn,μ)) or [E(Wpp(μn,μ))]1/p in terms of moments and analytic conditions on the measure μ and its distribution function. The study describes a variety of rates, from the standard one 1n√ to slower rates, and both lower and upper-bounds on E(Wp(μn,μ)) for fixed n in various instances. Order statistics, reduction to uniform samples and analysis of beta distributions, inverse distribution functions, log-concavity are main tools in the investigation. Two detailed appendices collect classical and some new facts on inverse distribution functions and beta distributions and their densities necessary to the investigation.

Download or read book Moufang Sets and Structurable Division Algebras written by Lien Boelaert and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Moufang set is essentially a doubly transitive permutation group such that each point stabilizer contains a normal subgroup which is regular on the remaining vertices; these regular normal subgroups are called the root groups, and they are assumed to be conjugate and to generate the whole group. It has been known for some time that every Jordan division algebra gives rise to a Moufang set with abelian root groups. The authors extend this result by showing that every structurable division algebra gives rise to a Moufang set, and conversely, they show that every Moufang set arising from a simple linear algebraic group of relative rank one over an arbitrary field k of characteristic different from 2 and 3 arises from a structurable division algebra. The authors also obtain explicit formulas for the root groups, the τ-map and the Hua maps of these Moufang sets. This is particularly useful for the Moufang sets arising from exceptional linear algebraic groups.

This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article studies constructions of reproducing kernel Banach spaces (RKBSs) which may be viewed as a generalization of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). A key point is to endow Banach spaces with reproducing kernels such that machine learning in RKBSs can be well-posed and of easy implementation. First the authors verify many advanced properties of the general RKBSs such as density, continuity, separability, implicit representation, imbedding, compactness, representer theorem for learning methods, oracle inequality, and universal approximation. Then, they develop a new concept of generalized Mercer kernels to construct p-norm RKBSs for 1≤p≤∞ .

This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Causal fermion systems and Riemannian fermion systems are proposed as a framework for describing non-smooth geometries. In particular, this framework provides a setting for spinors on singular spaces. The underlying topological structures are introduced and analyzed. The connection to the spin condition in differential topology is worked out. The constructions are illustrated by many simple examples such as the Euclidean plane, the two-dimensional Minkowski space, a conical singularity, a lattice system as well as the curvature singularity of the Schwarzschild space-time. As further examples, it is shown how complex and Kähler structures can be encoded in Riemannian fermion systems.

Download or read book CR Embedded Submanifolds of CR Manifolds written by Sean N. Curry and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors develop a complete local theory for CR embedded submanifolds of CR manifolds in a way which parallels the Ricci calculus for Riemannian submanifold theory. They define a normal tractor bundle in the ambient standard tractor bundle along the submanifold and show that the orthogonal complement of this bundle is not canonically isomorphic to the standard tractor bundle of the submanifold. By determining the subtle relationship between submanifold and ambient CR density bundles the authors are able to invariantly relate these two tractor bundles, and hence to invariantly relate the normal Cartan connections of the submanifold and ambient manifold by a tractor analogue of the Gauss formula. This also leads to CR analogues of the Gauss, Codazzi, and Ricci equations. The tractor Gauss formula includes two basic invariants of a CR embedding which, along with the submanifold and ambient curvatures, capture the jet data of the structure of a CR embedding. These objects therefore form the basic building blocks for the construction of local invariants of the embedding. From this basis the authors develop a broad calculus for the construction of the invariants and invariant differential operators of CR embedded submanifolds. The CR invariant tractor calculus of CR embeddings is developed concretely in terms of the Tanaka-Webster calculus of an arbitrary (suitably adapted) ambient contact form. This enables straightforward and explicit calculation of the pseudohermitian invariants of the embedding which are also CR invariant. These are extremely difficult to find and compute by more naïve methods. The authors conclude by establishing a CR analogue of the classical Bonnet theorem in Riemannian submanifold theory.
