Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir begins a program to classify a large subclass of the class of simple saturated 2-fusion systems of component type. Such a classification would be of great interest in its own right, but in addition it should lead to a significant simplification of the proof of the theorem classifying the finite simple groups. Why should such a simplification be possible? Part of the answer lies in the fact that there are advantages to be gained by working with fusion systems rather than groups. In particular one can hope to avoid a proof of the B-Conjecture, a important but difficult result in finite group theory, established only with great effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fusion system over a p-group S is a category whose objects form the set of all subgroups of S, whose morphisms are certain injective group homomorphisms, and which satisfies axioms first formulated by Puig that are modelled on conjugacy relations in finite groups. The definition was originally motivated by representation theory, but fusion systems also have applications to local group theory and to homotopy theory. The connection with homotopy theory arises through classifying spaces which can be associated to fusion systems and which have many of the nice properties of p-completed classifying spaces of finite groups. Beginning with a detailed exposition of the foundational material, the authors then proceed to discuss the role of fusion systems in local finite group theory, homotopy theory and modular representation theory. This book serves as a basic reference and as an introduction to the field, particularly for students and other young mathematicians.

Download or read book Quaternion Fusion Packets written by Michael Aschbacher and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let p p be a prime and S S a finite p p-group. A p p-fusion system on S S is a category whose objects are the subgroups of S and whose morphisms are certain injective group homomorphisms. Fusion systems are of interest in modular representation theory, algebraic topology, and local finite group theory. The book provides a characterization of the 2-fusion systems of the groups of Lie type and odd characteristic, a result analogous to the Classical Involution Theorem for groups. The theorem is the most difficult step in a two-part program. The first part of the program aims to determine a large subclass of the class of simple 2-fusion systems, while part two seeks to use the result on fusion systems to simplify the proof of the theorem classifying the finite simple groups.

Download or read book A Characterization of the 2 fusion System of L4 q written by Justin Lynd and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: We study saturated fusion systems F on a finite 2-group S with an involution centralizer having a unique component on a dihedral group and containing the Baumann subgroup of S. Assuming F is perfect with no nontrivial normal 2-subgroups and the centralizer of the component is a cyclic 2-group, it is shown F is uniquely determined as the 2-fusion system of L4(q) for some q = 3 (mod 4). This should be viewed as a contribution to a program recently outlined by Aschbacher for the classification of simple fusion systems at the prime 2. The analogous problem in the classification of finite simple groups of component type (the L2(q), A-- standard component problem) was one of the last to be completed, and was ultimately only resolved in an inductive context with heavy machinery. Thanks primarily to the hypothesis concerning the Baumann subgroup and the absence of cores, our arguments by contrast require only 2-fusion analysis and transfer. We prove a generalization of the Thompson transfer lemma in the context of fusion systems, which is applied often.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we study two problems in the area of fusion systems which are designed to mimic, simplify, and generalize parts of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups. In general, a finite simple group G is determined to a great extent by the structure and conjugacy pattern of a Sylow 2-subgroup. A 2-fusion system considers only a 2-group S equipped with a family of injective homomorphisms (called fusion maps) on subgroups of S without reference to aI) ambient group G. The general framework of fusion systems also arises naturally in the study of modular representations and classifying spaces; and so results proved for fusion systems have potential ramifications beyond the realm of finite group theory. One problem in this area is to determine S or, whenever possible, the entire 2-fusion system only from the knowledge of certain subgroups and fusion maps between these subgroups. In this thesis we consider two such problems: where S contains subgroups and fusion maps that arise in the Classification with standard components of type SL2(q) and PS L2(q). In particular, we give a characterization of simple, saturated fusion systems containing such components.

This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider the energy super critical semilinear heat equation The authors first revisit the construction of radially symmetric self similar solutions performed through an ode approach and propose a bifurcation type argument which allows for a sharp control of the spectrum of the corresponding linearized operator in suitable weighted spaces. They then show how the sole knowledge of this spectral gap in weighted spaces implies the finite codimensional nonradial stability of these solutions for smooth well localized initial data using energy bounds. The whole scheme draws a route map for the derivation of the existence and stability of self-similar blow up in nonradial energy super critical settings.
Download or read book Matrix Functions of Bounded Type An Interplay Between Function Theory and Operator Theory written by Raúl E. Curto and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the authors study matrix functions of bounded type from the viewpoint of describing an interplay between function theory and operator theory. They first establish a criterion on the coprime-ness of two singular inner functions and obtain several properties of the Douglas-Shapiro-Shields factorizations of matrix functions of bounded type. They propose a new notion of tensored-scalar singularity, and then answer questions on Hankel operators with matrix-valued bounded type symbols. They also examine an interpolation problem related to a certain functional equation on matrix functions of bounded type; this can be seen as an extension of the classical Hermite-Fejér Interpolation Problem for matrix rational functions. The authors then extend the H∞-functional calculus to an H∞¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯+H∞-functional calculus for the compressions of the shift. Next, the authors consider the subnormality of Toeplitz operators with matrix-valued bounded type symbols and, in particular, the matrix-valued version of Halmos's Problem 5 and then establish a matrix-valued version of Abrahamse's Theorem. They also solve a subnormal Toeplitz completion problem of 2×2 partial block Toeplitz matrices. Further, they establish a characterization of hyponormal Toeplitz pairs with matrix-valued bounded type symbols and then derive rank formulae for the self-commutators of hyponormal Toeplitz pairs.

This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the method developed by Waldspurger and Beuzart-Plessis in their proofs of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture, the author is able to prove the geometric side of a local relative trace formula for the Ginzburg-Rallis model. Then by applying such formula, the author proves a multiplicity formula of the Ginzburg-Rallis model for the supercuspidal representations. Using that multiplicity formula, the author proves the multiplicity one theorem for the Ginzburg-Rallis model over Vogan packets in the supercuspidal case.
Download or read book Time Like Graphical Models written by Tvrtko Tadić and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author studies continuous processes indexed by a special family of graphs. Processes indexed by vertices of graphs are known as probabilistic graphical models. In 2011, Burdzy and Pal proposed a continuous version of graphical models indexed by graphs with an embedded time structure— so-called time-like graphs. The author extends the notion of time-like graphs and finds properties of processes indexed by them. In particular, the author solves the conjecture of uniqueness of the distribution for the process indexed by graphs with infinite number of vertices. The author provides a new result showing the stochastic heat equation as a limit of the sequence of natural Brownian motions on time-like graphs. In addition, the author's treatment of time-like graphical models reveals connections to Markov random fields, martingales indexed by directed sets and branching Markov processes.
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 133 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 Dimensions of Affine Deligne Lusztig Varieties A New Approach Via Labeled Folded Alcove Walks and Root Operators written by Elizabeth Milićević and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let G be a reductive group over the field F=k((t)), where k is an algebraic closure of a finite field, and let W be the (extended) affine Weyl group of G. The associated affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties Xx(b), which are indexed by elements b∈G(F) and x∈W, were introduced by Rapoport. Basic questions about the varieties Xx(b) which have remained largely open include when they are nonempty, and if nonempty, their dimension. The authors use techniques inspired by geometric group theory and combinatorial representation theory to address these questions in the case that b is a pure translation, and so prove much of a sharpened version of a conjecture of Görtz, Haines, Kottwitz, and Reuman. The authors' approach is constructive and type-free, sheds new light on the reasons for existing results in the case that b is basic, and reveals new patterns. Since they work only in the standard apartment of the building for G(F), their results also hold in the p-adic context, where they formulate a definition of the dimension of a p-adic Deligne–Lusztig set. The authors present two immediate applications of their main results, to class polynomials of affine Hecke algebras and to affine reflection length.
Download or read book Applying the Classification of Finite Simple Groups written by Stephen D. Smith and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classification of Finite Simple Groups (CFSG) is a major project involving work by hundreds of researchers. The work was largely completed by about 1983, although final publication of the “quasithin” part was delayed until 2004. Since the 1980s, CFSG has had a huge influence on work in finite group theory and in many adjacent fields of mathematics. This book attempts to survey and sample a number of such topics from the very large and increasingly active research area of applications of CFSG. The book is based on the author's lectures at the September 2015 Venice Summer School on Finite Groups. With about 50 exercises from original lectures, it can serve as a second-year graduate course for students who have had first-year graduate algebra. It may be of particular interest to students looking for a dissertation topic around group theory. It can also be useful as an introduction and basic reference; in addition, it indicates fuller citations to the appropriate literature for readers who wish to go on to more detailed sources.
