Abelian Galois Cohomology of Reductive Groups


Book Description

In this volume, a new function H 2/ab (K, G) of abelian Galois cohomology is introduced from the category of connected reductive groups G over a field K of characteristic 0 to the category of abelian groups. The abelian Galois cohomology and the abelianization map ab1: H1 (K, G) -- H 2/ab (K, G) are used to give a functorial, almost explicit description of the usual Galois cohomology set H1 (K, G) when K is a number field







Wandering Vectors for Unitary Systems and Orthogonal Wavelets


Book Description

Investigates topological and structural properties of the set W(U) of all complete wandering vectors for a system U of unitary operators acting on a Hilbert space. The authors parameterize W(U) in terms of a fixed vector y and the set of all unitary operators which locally commute with U at y. No index.

Higher Initial Ideals of Homogeneous Ideals


Book Description

Given a homogeneous ideal I and a monomial order, the initials ideal in (I) can be formed. The initial idea gives information about I, but quite a lot of information is also lost. The author remedies this by defining a series of higher initial ideals of a homogenous ideal, and considers the case when I is the homogenous ideal of a curve in P3 and the monomial order is reverse lexicographic.

On Stability and Endoscopic Transfer of Unipotent Orbital Integrals on $p$-adic Symplectic Groups


Book Description

The invariant integrals of spherical functions over certain infinite families of unipotent orbits in symplectic groups over a p-adic field of characteristic zero are explicitly calculated. The results are then put into a conjectural framework that predicts for split classical groups which linear combinations of unipotent orbital integrals are stable distributions. No index.

Algebro-Geometric Quasi-Periodic Finite-Gap Solutions of the Toda and Kac-van Moerbeke Hierarchies


Book Description

In this work, the authors provide a self-contained discussion of all real-valued quasi-periodic finite-gap solutions of the Toda and Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchies of completely integrable evolution equations. The approach utilizes algebro-geometric methods, factorization techniques for finite difference expressions, as well as Miura-type transformations. Detailed spectral theoretic properties of Lax pairs and theta function representations of the solutions are derived. Features: Simple and unified treatment of the topic. Self-contained development. Novel results for the Kac-van Moerbeke hierarchy and its algebro-geometric solutions.







The Defect Relation of Meromorphic Maps on Parabolic Manifolds


Book Description

This book is intended for graduate students and research mathematicians working in several complex variables and analytic spaces.




Nonlinear Eigenvalues and Analytic-Hypoellipticity


Book Description

Explores the failure of analytic-hypoellipticity of two partial differential operators. The operators are sums of squares of real analytic vector fields and satisfy Hormander's condition. By reducing to an ordinary differential operator, the author shows the existence of non-linear eigenvalues, which is used to disprove analytic- hypoellipticity of the original operators. No index.

Existence and Persistence of Invariant Manifolds for Semiflows in Banach Space


Book Description

Extends the theory for normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds to infinite dimensional dynamical systems in a Banach space, thereby providing tools for the study of PDE's and other infinite dimensional equations of evolution. In the process, the authors establish the existence of center-unstable and center-stable manifolds in a neighborhood of the unperturbed compact manifold. No index.
