Download or read book Kinematic Formula in Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces written by D H Howard Howard and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows that much of classical integral geometry can be derived from the coarea formula by some elementary techniques. Howard generalizes much of classical integral geometry from spaces of constant sectional curvature to arbitrary Riemannian homogeneous spaces. To do so, he provides a general definition of an integral invariant'' of a submanifold of the space that is sufficiently general enough to cover most cases that arise in integral geometry. Working in this generality makes it clear that the type of integral geometric formulas that hold in a space does not depend on the full group of isometries, but only on the isotropy subgroup. As a special case, integral geometric formulas that hold in Euclidean space also hold in all the simply connected spaces of constant curvature. Detailed proofs of the results and many examples are included. Requiring background of a one-term course in Riemannian geometry, this book may be used as a textbook in graduate courses on differential and integral geometry.
Download or read book Littlewood Paley Theory on Spaces of Homogeneous Type and the Classical Function Spaces written by Yongsheng Han and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, Han and Sawyer extend Littlewood-Paley theory, Besov spaces, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces to the general setting of a space of homogeneous type. For this purpose, they establish a suitable analogue of the Calder 'on reproducing formula and use it to extend classical results on atomic decomposition, interpolation, and T1 and Tb theorems. Some new results in the classical setting are also obtained: atomic decompositions with vanishing b-moment, and Littlewood-Paley characterizations of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with only half the usual smoothness and cancellation conditions on the approximate identity.
Download or read book Shortest Paths for Sub Riemannian Metrics on Rank Two Distributions written by Wensheng Liu and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1995 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sub-Riemannian manifold ([italic capitals]M, E, G) consists of a finite-dimensional manifold [italic capital]M, a rank-two bracket generating distribution [italic capital]E on [italic capital]M, and a Riemannian metric [italic capital]G on [italic capital]E. All length-minimizing arcs on ([italic capitals]M, E, G) are either normal extremals or abnormal extremals. Normal extremals are locally optimal, i.e., every sufficiently short piece of such an extremal is a minimizer. The question whether every length-minimizer is a normal extremal was recently settled by R. G. Montgomery, who exhibited a counterexample. The present work proves that regular abnormal extremals are locally optimal, and, in the case that [italic capital]E satisfies a mild additional restriction, the abnormal minimizers are ubiquitous rather than exceptional. All the topics of this research report (historical notes, examples, abnormal extremals, Hamiltonians, nonholonomic distributions, sub-Riemannian distance, the relations between minimality and extremality, regular abnormal extremals, local optimality of regular abnormal extremals, etc.) are presented in a very clear and effective way.
Download or read book Harmonic Analysis for Anisotropic Random Walks on Homogeneous Trees written by Alessandro Figà-Talamanca and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a detailed study of the anisotropic series representations of the free product group Z/2Z*...*Z/2Z. These representations are infinite dimensional, irreducible, and unitary and can be divided into principal and complementary series. Anisotropic series representations are interesting because, while they are not restricted from any larger continuous group in which the discrete group is a lattice, they nonetheless share many properties of such restrictions. The results of this work are also valid for nonabelian free groups on finitely many generators.
Download or read book Stochastic Models Information Theory and Lie Groups Volume 2 written by Gregory S. Chirikjian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique two-volume set presents the subjects of stochastic processes, information theory, and Lie groups in a unified setting, thereby building bridges between fields that are rarely studied by the same people. Unlike the many excellent formal treatments available for each of these subjects individually, the emphasis in both of these volumes is on the use of stochastic, geometric, and group-theoretic concepts in the modeling of physical phenomena. Stochastic Models, Information Theory, and Lie Groups will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in applied mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering. Extensive exercises, motivating examples, and real-world applications make the work suitable as a textbook for use in courses that emphasize applied stochastic processes or differential geometry.
Download or read book Anticipative Girsanov Transformations and Skorohod Stochastic Differential Equations written by Rainer Buckdahn and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a concise exposition of recent developments in anticipative stochastic calculus. The anticipative calculus uses tools from differential calculus and distribution theory on Wiener space to analyze stochastic integrals with integrands which can anticipate the future of the Brownian integrator. In particular, the Skorohod integral, defined as a dual operator to the Wiener space derivative, and the anticipating Stratonovich integrals are fundamental.
Download or read book Behavior of Distant Maximal Geodesics in Finitely Connected Complete 2 dimensional Riemannian Manifolds written by Takashi Shioya and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph studies the topological shapes of geodesics outside a large compact set in a finitely connected, complete, and noncompact surface admitting total curvature. When the surface is homeomorphic to a plane, all such geodesics behave like those of a flat cone. In particular, the rotation numbers of the geodesics are controlled by the total curvature. Accessible to beginners in differential geometry, but also of interest to specialists, this monograph features many illustrations that enhance understanding of the main ideas.
Download or read book Integral Geometry and Valuations written by Semyon Alesker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last years there has been significant progress in the theory of valuations, which in turn has led to important achievements in integral geometry. This book originated from two courses delivered by the authors at the CRM and provides a self-contained introduction to these topics, covering most of the recent advances. The first part, by Semyon Alesker, provides an introduction to the theory of convex valuations with emphasis on recent developments. In particular, it presents the new structures on the space of valuations discovered after Alesker's irreducibility theorem. The newly developed theory of valuations on manifolds is also described. In the second part, Joseph H. G. Fu gives a modern introduction to integral geometry in the sense of Blaschke and Santaló. The approach is new and based on the notions and tools presented in the first part. This original viewpoint not only enlightens the classical integral geometry of euclidean space, but it also allows the computation of kinematic formulas in other geometries, such as hermitian spaces. The book will appeal to graduate students and interested researchers from related fields including convex, stochastic, and differential geometry.
Download or read book Geometry and Topology of Submanifolds and Currents written by Weiping Li and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he papers in this volume are mainly from the 2013 Midwest Geometry Conference, held October 19, 2013, at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK, and partly from the 2012 Midwest Geometry Conference, held May 12-13, 2012, at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. The papers cover recent results on geometry and topology of submanifolds. On the topology side, topics include Plateau problems, Voevodsky's motivic cohomology, Reidemeister zeta function and systolic inequality, and freedom in 2- and 3-dimensional manifolds. On the geometry side, the authors discuss classifying isoparametric hypersurfaces and review Hartogs triangle, finite volume flows, nonexistence of stable p-currents, and a generalized Bernstein type problem. The authors also show that the interaction between topology and geometry is a key to deeply understanding topological invariants and the geometric problems.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bounds for orthogonal polynomials which hold on the 'whole' interval of orthogonality are crucial to investigating mean convergence of orthogonal expansions, weighted approximation theory, and the structure of weighted spaces. This book focuses on a method of obtaining such bounds for orthogonal polynomials (and their Christoffel functions) associated with weights on [-1,1]. Also presented are uniform estimates of spacing of zeros of orthogonal polynomials and applications to weighted approximation theory.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We introduce a matricial approach to the truncated complex moment problem, and apply it to the case of moment matrices of flat data type, for which the columns corresponding to the homogeneous monomials in [italic]z and [italic]z̄ of highest degree can be written in terms of monomials of lower degree. We discuss the connection between complex moment problems and the subnormal completion problem for 2-variable weighted shifts, and present in detail the construction of solutions for truncated complex moment problems associated with monomials of degrees one and two.
