Golden Girl and Other Stories
A collection of some of Jack Vance's best short fiction, containing: Golden Girl Masquerade on Dicantropus Abercrombie Station Cholwell's Chickens The Mitr The World Between When the Five Moons Rise Meet Miss Universe The Insufferable Red-headed Daughter of Commander Tynnott, O.T.E.
Hyperbolic Groupoids and Duality
The author introduces a notion of hyperbolic groupoids, generalizing the notion of a Gromov hyperbolic group. Examples of hyperbolic groupoids include actions of Gromov hyperbolic groups on their boundaries, pseudogroups generated by expanding self-coverings, natural pseudogroups acting on leaves of stable (or unstable) foliation of an Anosov diffeomorphism, etc. The author describes a duality theory for hyperbolic groupoids. He shows that for every hyperbolic groupoid G there is a naturally defined dual groupoid G⊤ acting on the Gromov boundary of a Cayley graph of G. The groupoid G⊤ is also hyperbolic and such that (G⊤)⊤ is equivalent to G. Several classes of examples of hyperbolic groupoids and their applications are discussed.
On the Theory of Weak Turbulence for the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation
The authors study the Cauchy problem for a kinetic equation arising in the weak turbulence theory for the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. They define suitable concepts of weak and mild solutions and prove local and global well posedness results. Several qualitative properties of the solutions, including long time asymptotics, blow up results and condensation in finite time are obtained. The authors also prove the existence of a family of solutions that exhibit pulsating behavior.
Faithfully Quadratic Rings
In this monograph the authors extend the classical algebraic theory of quadratic forms over fields to diagonal quadratic forms with invertible entries over broad classes of commutative, unitary rings where is not a sum of squares and is invertible. They accomplish this by: (1) Extending the classical notion of matrix isometry of forms to a suitable notion of -isometry, where is a preorder of the given ring, , or . (2) Introducing in this context three axioms expressing simple properties of (value) representation of elements of the ring by quadratic forms, well-known to hold in the field case.
Period Functions for Maass Wave Forms and Cohomology
The authors construct explicit isomorphisms between spaces of Maass wave forms and cohomology groups for discrete cofinite groups Γ⊂PSL2(R). In the case that Γ is the modular group PSL2(Z) this gives a cohomological framework for the results in Period functions for Maass wave forms. I, of J. Lewis and D. Zagier in Ann. Math. 153 (2001), 191-258, where a bijection was given between cuspidal Maass forms and period functions. The authors introduce the concepts of mixed parabolic cohomology group and semi-analytic vectors in principal series representation. This enables them to describe cohomology groups isomorphic to spaces of Maass cusp forms, spaces spanned by residues of Eisenstein series, and spaces of all Γ-invariant eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator. For spaces of Maass cusp forms the authors also describe isomorphisms to parabolic cohomology groups with smooth coefficients and standard cohomology groups with distribution coefficients. They use the latter correspondence to relate the Petersson scalar product to the cup product in cohomology.
Level One Algebraic Cusp Forms of Classical Groups of Small Rank
The authors determine the number of level 1, polarized, algebraic regular, cuspidal automorphic representations of GLn over Q of any given infinitesimal character, for essentially all n≤8. For this, they compute the dimensions of spaces of level 1 automorphic forms for certain semisimple Z-forms of the compact groups SO7, SO8, SO9 (and G2) and determine Arthur's endoscopic partition of these spaces in all cases. They also give applications to the 121 even lattices of rank 25 and determinant 2 found by Borcherds, to level one self-dual automorphic representations of GLn with trivial infinitesimal character, and to vector valued Siegel modular forms of genus 3. A part of the authors' results are conditional to certain expected results in the theory of twisted endoscopy.
Locally AH-Algebras
A unital separable -algebra, is said to be locally AH with no dimension growth if there is an integer satisfying the following: for any and any compact subset there is a unital -subalgebra, of with the form , where is a compact metric space with covering dimension no more than and is a projection, such that The authors prove that the class of unital separable simple -algebras which are locally AH with no dimension growth can be classified up to isomorphism by their Elliott invariant. As a consequence unital separable simple -algebras which are locally AH with no dimension growth are isomorphic to a unital simple AH-algebra with no dimension growth.
Hitting Probabilities for Nonlinear Systems of Stochastic Waves
The authors consider a d-dimensional random field u={u(t,x)} that solves a non-linear system of stochastic wave equations in spatial dimensions k∈{1,2,3}, driven by a spatially homogeneous Gaussian noise that is white in time. They mainly consider the case where the spatial covariance is given by a Riesz kernel with exponent β. Using Malliavin calculus, they establish upper and lower bounds on the probabilities that the random field visits a deterministic subset of Rd, in terms, respectively, of Hausdorff measure and Newtonian capacity of this set. The dimension that appears in the Hausdorff measure is close to optimal, and shows that when d(2−β)>2(k+1), points are polar for u. Conversely, in low dimensions d, points are not polar. There is, however, an interval in which the question of polarity of points remains open.
Symmetry Breaking for Representations of Rank One Orthogonal Groups
The authors give a complete classification of intertwining operators (symmetry breaking operators) between spherical principal series representations of and . They construct three meromorphic families of the symmetry breaking operators, and find their distribution kernels and their residues at all poles explicitly. Symmetry breaking operators at exceptional discrete parameters are thoroughly studied. The authors obtain closed formulae for the functional equations which the composition of the symmetry breaking operators with the Knapp-Stein intertwining operators of and satisfy, and use them to determine the symmetry breaking operators between irreducible composition factors of the spherical principal series representations of and . Some applications are included.
On the Singular Set of Harmonic Maps into DM-Complexes
The authors prove that the singular set of a harmonic map from a smooth Riemammian domain to a Riemannian DM-complex is of Hausdorff codimension at least two. They also explore monotonicity formulas and an order gap theorem for approximately harmonic maps. These regularity results have applications to rigidity problems examined in subsequent articles.
