Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors introduce and study the class of groups graded by root systems. They prove that if \Phi is an irreducible classical root system of rank \geq 2 and G is a group graded by \Phi, then under certain natural conditions on the grading, the union of the root subgroups is a Kazhdan subset of G. As the main application of this theorem the authors prove that for any reduced irreducible classical root system \Phi of rank \geq 2 and a finitely generated commutative ring R with 1, the Steinberg group {\mathrm St}_{\Phi}(R) and the elementary Chevalley group \mathbb E_{\Phi}(R) have property (T).

Download or read book Steinberg Groups for Jordan Pairs written by Ottmar Loos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present monograph develops a unified theory of Steinberg groups, independent of matrix representations, based on the theory of Jordan pairs and the theory of 3-graded locally finite root systems. The development of this approach occurs over six chapters, progressing from groups with commutator relations and their Steinberg groups, then on to Jordan pairs, 3-graded locally finite root systems, and groups associated with Jordan pairs graded by root systems, before exploring the volume's main focus: the definition of the Steinberg group of a root graded Jordan pair by a small set of relations, and its central closedness. Several original concepts, such as the notions of Jordan graphs and Weyl elements, provide readers with the necessary tools from combinatorics and group theory. Steinberg Groups for Jordan Pairs is ideal for PhD students and researchers in the fields of elementary groups, Steinberg groups, Jordan algebras, and Jordan pairs. By adopting a unified approach, anybody interested in this area who seeks an alternative to case-by-case arguments and explicit matrix calculations will find this book essential.

Download or read book Tensor Products and Regularity Properties of Cuntz Semigroups written by Ramon Antoine and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cuntz semigroup of a -algebra is an important invariant in the structure and classification theory of -algebras. It captures more information than -theory but is often more delicate to handle. The authors systematically study the lattice and category theoretic aspects of Cuntz semigroups. Given a -algebra , its (concrete) Cuntz semigroup is an object in the category of (abstract) Cuntz semigroups, as introduced by Coward, Elliott and Ivanescu. To clarify the distinction between concrete and abstract Cuntz semigroups, the authors call the latter -semigroups. The authors establish the existence of tensor products in the category and study the basic properties of this construction. They show that is a symmetric, monoidal category and relate with for certain classes of -algebras. As a main tool for their approach the authors introduce the category of pre-completed Cuntz semigroups. They show that is a full, reflective subcategory of . One can then easily deduce properties of from respective properties of , for example the existence of tensor products and inductive limits. The advantage is that constructions in are much easier since the objects are purely algebraic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work the author lets be an irreducible root system, with Coxeter group . He considers subsets of which are abelian, meaning that no two roots in the set have sum in . He classifies all maximal abelian sets (i.e., abelian sets properly contained in no other) up to the action of : for each -orbit of maximal abelian sets we provide an explicit representative , identify the (setwise) stabilizer of in , and decompose into -orbits. Abelian sets of roots are closely related to abelian unipotent subgroups of simple algebraic groups, and thus to abelian -subgroups of finite groups of Lie type over fields of characteristic . Parts of the work presented here have been used to confirm the -rank of , and (somewhat unexpectedly) to obtain for the first time the -ranks of the Monster and Baby Monster sporadic groups, together with the double cover of the latter. Root systems of classical type are dealt with quickly here; the vast majority of the present work concerns those of exceptional type. In these root systems the author introduces the notion of a radical set; such a set corresponds to a subgroup of a simple algebraic group lying in the unipotent radical of a certain maximal parabolic subgroup. The classification of radical maximal abelian sets for the larger root systems of exceptional type presents an interesting challenge; it is accomplished by converting the problem to that of classifying certain graphs modulo a particular equivalence relation.

This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of finite subgroups of a simple algebraic group $G$ reduces in a sense to those which are almost simple. If an almost simple subgroup of $G$ has a socle which is not isomorphic to a group of Lie type in the underlying characteristic of $G$, then the subgroup is called non-generic. This paper considers non-generic subgroups of simple algebraic groups of exceptional type in arbitrary characteristic.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors consider unitary simple vertex operator algebras whose vertex operators satisfy certain energy bounds and a strong form of locality and call them strongly local. They present a general procedure which associates to every strongly local vertex operator algebra V a conformal net AV acting on the Hilbert space completion of V and prove that the isomorphism class of AV does not depend on the choice of the scalar product on V. They show that the class of strongly local vertex operator algebras is closed under taking tensor products and unitary subalgebras and that, for every strongly local vertex operator algebra V, the map W↦AW gives a one-to-one correspondence between the unitary subalgebras W of V and the covariant subnets of AV.

This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present work the author generalizes the construction of monopole Floer homology due to Kronheimer and Mrowka to the case of a gradient flow with Morse-Bott singularities. Focusing then on the special case of a three-manifold equipped equipped with a structure which is isomorphic to its conjugate, the author defines the counterpart in this context of Manolescu's recent Pin(2)-equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Floer homology. In particular, the author provides an alternative approach to his disproof of the celebrated Triangulation conjecture.

In characteristic zero, a fairly general criterion is exhibited.

This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let X be an abstract not necessarily compact orientable CR manifold of dimension 2n−1, n⩾2, and let Lk be the k-th tensor power of a CR complex line bundle L over X. Given q∈{0,1,…,n−1}, let □(q)b,k be the Gaffney extension of Kohn Laplacian for (0,q) forms with values in Lk. For λ≥0, let Π(q)k,≤λ:=E((−∞,λ]), where E denotes the spectral measure of □(q)b,k. In this work, the author proves that Π(q)k,≤k−N0F∗k, FkΠ(q)k,≤k−N0F∗k, N0≥1, admit asymptotic expansions with respect to k on the non-degenerate part of the characteristic manifold of □(q)b,k, where Fk is some kind of microlocal cut-off function. Moreover, we show that FkΠ(q)k,≤0F∗k admits a full asymptotic expansion with respect to k if □(q)b,k has small spectral gap property with respect to Fk and Π(q)k,≤0 is k-negligible away the diagonal with respect to Fk. By using these asymptotics, the authors establish almost Kodaira embedding theorems on CR manifolds and Kodaira embedding theorems on CR manifolds with transversal CR S1 action.

This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper the author studies elliptic PDEs on compact Gromov-Hausdorff limit spaces of Riemannian manifolds with lower Ricci curvature bounds. In particular the author establishes continuities of geometric quantities, which include solutions of Poisson's equations, eigenvalues of Schrödinger operators, generalized Yamabe constants and eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian, with respect to the Gromov-Hausdorff topology. The author applies these to the study of second-order differential calculus on such limit spaces.

Download or read book Mathematical Study of Degenerate Boundary Layers A Large Scale Ocean Circulation Problem written by Anne-Laure Dalibard and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is concerned with a complete asymptotic analysis as $E \to 0$ of the Munk equation $\partial _x\psi -E \Delta ^2 \psi = \tau $ in a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf R^2$, supplemented with boundary conditions for $\psi $ and $\partial _n \psi $. This equation is a simple model for the circulation of currents in closed basins, the variables $x$ and $y$ being respectively the longitude and the latitude. A crude analysis shows that as $E \to 0$, the weak limit of $\psi $ satisfies the so-called Sverdrup transport equation inside the domain, namely $\partial _x \psi ^0=\tau $, while boundary layers appear in the vicinity of the boundary.

This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors provide a complete classification of globally generated vector bundles with first Chern class $c_1 \leq 5$ one the projective plane and with $c_1 \leq 4$ on the projective $n$-space for $n \geq 3$. This reproves and extends, in a systematic manner, previous results obtained for $c_1 \leq 2$ by Sierra and Ugaglia [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 213 (2009), 2141-2146], and for $c_1 = 3$ by Anghel and Manolache [Math. Nachr. 286 (2013), 1407-1423] and, independently, by Sierra and Ugaglia [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 218 (2014), 174-180]. It turns out that the case $c_1 = 4$ is much more involved than the previous cases, especially on the projective 3-space. Among the bundles appearing in our classification one can find the Sasakura rank 3 vector bundle on the projective 4-space (conveniently twisted). The authors also propose a conjecture concerning the classification of globally generated vector bundles with $c_1 \leq n - 1$ on the projective $n$-space. They verify the conjecture for $n \leq 5$.

Download or read book Neckpinch Dynamics for Asymmetric Surfaces Evolving by Mean Curvature Flow written by Zhou Gang and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors study noncompact surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow (mcf). For an open set of initial data that are $C^3$-close to round, but without assuming rotational symmetry or positive mean curvature, the authors show that mcf solutions become singular in finite time by forming neckpinches, and they obtain detailed asymptotics of that singularity formation. The results show in a precise way that mcf solutions become asymptotically rotationally symmetric near a neckpinch singularity.

Download or read book Degree Spectra of Relations on a Cone written by Matthew Harrison-Trainor and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let $\mathcal A$ be a mathematical structure with an additional relation $R$. The author is interested in the degree spectrum of $R$, either among computable copies of $\mathcal A$ when $(\mathcal A,R)$ is a ``natural'' structure, or (to make this rigorous) among copies of $(\mathcal A,R)$ computable in a large degree d. He introduces the partial order of degree spectra on a cone and begin the study of these objects. Using a result of Harizanov--that, assuming an effectiveness condition on $\mathcal A$ and $R$, if $R$ is not intrinsically computable, then its degree spectrum contains all c.e. degrees--the author shows that there is a minimal non-trivial degree spectrum on a cone, consisting of the c.e. degrees.
