Download or read book Supported Blow Up and Prescribed Scalar Curvature on S n written by Man Chun Leung and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author expounds the notion of supported blow-up and applies it to study the renowned Nirenberg/Kazdan-Warner problem on $S^n$. When $n \ge 5$ and under some mild conditions, he shows that blow-up at a point with positive definite Hessian has to be a supported isolated blow-up, which, when combined with a uniform volume bound, is a removable singularity. A new asymmetric condition is introduced to exclude single simple blow-up. These enable the author to obtain a general existence theorem for $n \ge 5$ with rather natural condition.
Download or read book Dimer Models and Calabi Yau Algebras written by Nathan Broomhead and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012-01-23 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this article the author uses techniques from algebraic geometry and homological algebra, together with ideas from string theory to construct a class of 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau algebras. The Calabi-Yau property appears throughout geometry and string theory and is increasingly being studied in algebra. He further shows that the algebras constructed are examples of non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs), in the sense of Van den Bergh, of Gorenstein affine toric threefolds. Dimer models, first studied in theoretical physics, give a way of writing down a class of non-commutative algebras, as the path algebra of a quiver with relations obtained from a `superpotential'. Some examples are Calabi-Yau and some are not. The author considers two types of `consistency' conditions on dimer models, and shows that a `geometrically consistent' dimer model is `algebraically consistent'. He proves that the algebras obtained from algebraically consistent dimer models are 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau algebras. This is the key step which allows him to prove that these algebras are NCCRs of the Gorenstein affine toric threefolds associated to the dimer models.
Download or read book The Lin Ni s Problem for Mean Convex Domains written by Olivier Druet and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors prove some refined asymptotic estimates for positive blow-up solutions to $\Delta u+\epsilon u=n(n-2)u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}$ on $\Omega$, $\partial_\nu u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, $\Omega$ being a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$. In particular, they show that concentration can occur only on boundary points with nonpositive mean curvature when $n=3$ or $n\geq 7$. As a direct consequence, they prove the validity of the Lin-Ni's conjecture in dimension $n=3$ and $n\geq 7$ for mean convex domains and with bounded energy. Recent examples by Wang-Wei-Yan show that the bound on the energy is a necessary condition.
Download or read book n Harmonic Mappings between Annuli written by Tadeusz Iwaniec and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iwaniec and Onninen (both mathematics, Syracuse U., US) address concrete questions regarding energy minimal deformations of annuli in Rn. One novelty of their approach is that they allow the mappings to slip freely along the boundaries of the domains, where it is most difficult to establish the existence, uniqueness, and invertibility properties of the extremal mappings. At the core of the matter, they say, is the underlying concept of free Lagrangians. After an introduction, they cover in turn principal radial n-harmonics, and the n-harmonic energy.

Download or read book The Goodwillie Tower and the EHP Sequence written by Mark Behrens and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author studies the interaction between the EHP sequence and the Goodwillie tower of the identity evaluated at spheres at the prime $2$. Both give rise to spectral sequences (the EHP spectral sequence and the Goodwillie spectral sequence, respectively) which compute the unstable homotopy groups of spheres. He relates the Goodwillie filtration to the $P$ map, and the Goodwillie differentials to the $H$ map. Furthermore, he studies an iterated Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence approach to the homotopy of the layers of the Goodwillie tower of the identity on spheres. He shows that differentials in these spectral sequences give rise to differentials in the EHP spectral sequence. He uses his theory to recompute the $2$-primary unstable stems through the Toda range (up to the $19$-stem). He also studies the homological behavior of the interaction between the EHP sequence and the Goodwillie tower of the identity. This homological analysis involves the introduction of Dyer-Lashof-like operations associated to M. Ching's operad structure on the derivatives of the identity. These operations act on the mod $2$ stable homology of the Goodwillie layers of any functor from spaces to spaces.
Download or read book On the Shape of a Pure O Sequence written by Mats Boij and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A monomial order ideal is a finite collection X of (monic) monomials such that, whenever M∈X and N divides M, then N∈X. Hence X is a poset, where the partial order is given by divisibility. If all, say t t, maximal monomials of X have the same degree, then X is pure (of type t). A pure O-sequence is the vector, h_=(h0=1,h1,...,he), counting the monomials of X in each degree. Equivalently, pure O-sequences can be characterized as the f-vectors of pure multicomplexes, or, in the language of commutative algebra, as the h h-vectors of monomial Artinian level algebras. Pure O-sequences had their origin in one of the early works of Stanley's in this area, and have since played a significant role in at least three different disciplines: the study of simplicial complexes and their f f-vectors, the theory of level algebras, and the theory of matroids. This monograph is intended to be the first systematic study of the theory of pure O-sequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author develops a rigorous second order analysis on the space of probability measures on a Riemannian manifold endowed with the quadratic optimal transport distance $W_2$. The discussion includes: definition of covariant derivative, discussion of the problem of existence of parallel transport, calculus of the Riemannian curvature tensor, differentiability of the exponential map and existence of Jacobi fields. This approach does not require any smoothness assumption on the measures considered.

This book was released on 2012-02-22 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors construct new families of smooth admissible $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$-representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(F)$, where $F$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. When $F$ is unramified, these representations have the $\mathrm{GL}_2({\mathcal O}_F)$-socle predicted by the recent generalizations of Serre's modularity conjecture. The authors' motivation is a hypothetical mod $p$ Langlands correspondence.
Download or read book Reifenberg Parameterizations for Sets with Holes written by Guy David and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors extend the proof of Reifenberg's Topological Disk Theorem to allow the case of sets with holes, and give sufficient conditions on a set $E$ for the existence of a bi-Lipschitz parameterization of $E$ by a $d$-dimensional plane or smooth manifold. Such a condition is expressed in terms of square summability for the P. Jones numbers $\beta_1(x,r)$. In particular, it applies in the locally Ahlfors-regular case to provide very big pieces of bi-Lipschitz images of $\mathbb R^d$.
Download or read book Weighted Shifts on Directed Trees written by Zenon Jan Jablónski and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new class of (not necessarily bounded) operators related to (mainly infinite) directed trees is introduced and investigated. Operators in question are to be considered as a generalization of classical weighted shifts, on the one hand, and of weighted adjacency operators, on the other; they are called weighted shifts on directed trees. The basic properties of such operators, including closedness, adjoints, polar decomposition and moduli are studied. Circularity and the Fredholmness of weighted shifts on directed trees are discussed. The relationships between domains of a weighted shift on a directed tree and its adjoint are described. Hyponormality, cohyponormality, subnormality and complete hyperexpansivity of such operators are entirely characterized in terms of their weights. Related questions that arose during the study of the topic are solved as well.

Download or read book The Hermitian Two Matrix Model with an Even Quartic Potential written by Maurice Duits and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider the two matrix model with an even quartic potential $W(y)=y^4/4+\alpha y^2/2$ and an even polynomial potential $V(x)$. The main result of the paper is the formulation of a vector equilibrium problem for the limiting mean density for the eigenvalues of one of the matrices $M_1$. The vector equilibrium problem is defined for three measures, with external fields on the first and third measures and an upper constraint on the second measure. The proof is based on a steepest descent analysis of a $4\times4$ matrix valued Riemann-Hilbert problem that characterizes the correlation kernel for the eigenvalues of $M_1$. The authors' results generalize earlier results for the case $\alpha=0$, where the external field on the third measure was not present.

Download or read book A Theory of Generalized Donaldson Thomas Invariants written by Dominic D. Joyce and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants $\bar{DT}{}^\alpha(\tau)$. They are rational numbers which `count' both $\tau$-stable and $\tau$-semistable coherent sheaves with Chern character $\alpha$ on $X$; strictly $\tau$-semistable sheaves must be counted with complicated rational weights. The $\bar{DT}{}^\alpha(\tau)$ are defined for all classes $\alpha$, and are equal to $DT^\alpha(\tau)$ when it is defined. They are unchanged under deformations of $X$, and transform by a wall-crossing formula under change of stability condition $\tau$. To prove all this, the authors study the local structure of the moduli stack $\mathfrak M$ of coherent sheaves on $X$. They show that an atlas for $\mathfrak M$ may be written locally as $\mathrm{Crit}(f)$ for $f:U\to{\mathbb C}$ holomorphic and $U$ smooth, and use this to deduce identities on the Behrend function $\nu_\mathfrak M$. They compute the invariants $\bar{DT}{}^\alpha(\tau)$ in examples, and make a conjecture about their integrality properties. They also extend the theory to abelian categories $\mathrm{mod}$-$\mathbb{C}Q\backslash I$ of representations of a quiver $Q$ with relations $I$ coming from a superpotential $W$ on $Q$.
Download or read book On First and Second Order Planar Elliptic Equations with Degeneracies written by Abdelhamid Meziani and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2012 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper deals with elliptic equations in the plane with degeneracies. The equations are generated by a complex vector field that is elliptic everywhere except along a simple closed curve. Kernels for these equations are constructed. Properties of solutions, in a neighborhood of the degeneracy curve, are obtained through integral and series representations. An application to a second order elliptic equation with a punctual singularity is given.
