On the geometry of regular maps from a quasi-projective surface to a curve

2013, Parameswaran, A.J., Tibar, M.

We explore consequences of the triviality of the monodromy group, using the condition of purity of the mixed Hodge structure on the cohomology of the surface X.

Infeasibility certificates for linear matrix inequalities

2011, Klep, Igor, Schweighofer, Markus

Farkas' lemma is a fundamental result from linear programming providing linear certi cates for infeasibility of systems of linear inequalities. In semidefinite programming, such linear certificates only exist for strongly infeasible linear matrix inequalities. We provide nonlinear algebraic certificates for all infeasible linear matrix inequalities in the spirit of real algebraic geometry. More precisely, we show that a linear matrix inequality L(x)⪰0 is infeasible if and only if −1 lies in the quadratic module associated to L. We prove exponential degree bounds for the corresponding algebraic certificate. In order to get a polynomial size certi cate, we use a more involved algebraic certificate motivated by the real radical and Prestel's theory of semiorderings. Completely different methods, namely complete positivity from operator algebras, are employed to consider linear matrix inequality domination.

G-complete reducibility in non-connected groups

2013, Bate, Michael, Herpel, Sebastian, Martin, Benjamin, Röhrle, Gerhard

In this paper we present an algorithm for determining whether a subgroup H of a non-connected reductive group G is G-completely reducible. The algorithm consists of a series of reductions; at each step, we perform operations involving connected groups, such as checking whether a certain subgroup of G0 is G0-cr. This essentially reduces the problem of determining G-complete reducibility to the connected case.

An extension problem and trace Hardy inequality for the sublaplacian on H-type groups

2017, Roncal, Luz, Thangavelu, Sundaram

In this paper we study the extension problem for the sublaplacian on a H-type group and use the solutions to prove trace Hardy and Hardy inequalities for fractional powers of the sublaplacian.

On the Markov inequality in the L2-norm with the Gegenbauer weight

2017, Nikolov, Geno P., Shadrin, Alexei

Let wλ(t):=(1−t2)λ−1/2, where λ>−12, be the Gegenbauer weight function, let ∥⋅∥wλ be the associated L2-norm, |f∥wλ={∫1−1|f(x)|2wλ(x)dx}1/2, and denote by Pn the space of algebraic polynomials of degree ≤n. We study the best constant cn(λ) in the Markov inequality in this norm ∥p′n∥wλ≤cn(λ)∥pn∥wλ,pn∈Pn, namely the constant cn(λ):=suppn∈Pn∥p′n∥wλ∥pn∥wλ. We derive explicit lower and upper bounds for the Markov constant cn(λ), which are valid for all n and λ.

Mehler-Heine asymptotics of a class of generalized hypergeometric polynomials

2013, Bracciali, Cleonice F., Moreno-Balcázar, Juan José

We obtain a Mehler–Heine type formula for a class of generalized hypergeometric polynomials. This type of formula describes the asymptotics of polynomials scale conveniently. As a consequence of this formula, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding zeros. We illustrate these results with numerical experiments and some figures.

A series of algebras generalizing the octonions and Hurwitz-Radon identity

2010, Morier-Genoud, Sophie, Ovsienko, Valentin

We study non-associative twisted group algebras over (Z2)n with cubic twisting functions. We construct a series of algebras that extend the classical algebra of octonions in the same way as the Clifford algebras extend the algebra of quaternions. We study their properties, give several equivalent definitions and prove their uniqueness within some natural assumptions. We then prove a simplicity criterion. We present two applications of the constructed algebras and the developed technique. The first application is a simple explicit formula for the following famous square identity: (a21+...+a2N)(b21+...+b2ρ(N))=c21+...+c2N, where ck are bilinear functions of the ai and bj and where ρ(N) is the Hurwitz-Radon function. The second application is the relation to Moufang loops and, in particular, to the code loops. To illustrate this relation, we provide an explicit coordinate formula for the factor set of the Parker loop.

Noncompact harmonic manifolds

2013, Knieper, Gerhard, Peyerimhoff, Norbert

The Lichnerowicz conjecture asserts that all harmonic manifolds are either flat or locally symmetric spaces of rank 1. This conjecture has been proved by Z.I. Szab´o [Sz] for harmonic manifolds with compact universal cover. E. Damek and F. Ricci [DR] provided examples showing that in the noncompact case the conjecture is wrong. However, such manifolds do not admit a compact quotient. The classification of all noncompact harmonic spaces is still a very difficult open problem. In this paper we provide a survey on recent results on noncompact simply connected harmonic manifolds, and we also prove many new results, both for general noncompact harmonic manifolds and for noncompact harmonic manifolds with purely exponential volume growth.

A construction of hyperbolic coxeter groups

2010, Osajda, Damian

We give a simple construction of Gromov hyperbolic Coxeter groups of arbitrarily large virtual cohomological dimension. Our construction provides new examples of such groups. Using this one can construct e.g. new groups having some interesting asphericity properties.
