Weyl Groups and Birational Transformations among Minimal Models

In this paper we provide a unified way of looking at the apparently sporadic Weyl groups connected with the classical geometry of surfaces, namely those with 1) the rational double points, 2) the Picard groups of Del Pezzo surfaces, 3) the Kodaira-type degenerations of elliptic curves, and 4) the Picard-Lefschetz reflections of [italic]K3-surfaces, by putting them together into the picture of 3-dimensional birational geometry in the realm of the recently established Minimal Model Theory for 3-folds.

Factorizing the Classical Inequalities

This memoir describes a new way of looking at the classical inequalities. The most famous such results, (those of Hilbert, Hardy, and Copson) may be interpreted as inclusion relationships, l[superscript italic]p [subset equality symbol] [italic capital]Y, between certain (Banach) sequence spaces, the norm of the injection being the best constant of the particular inequality. The inequalities of Hilbert, Hardy, and Copson all share the same space [italic capital]Y. That space -- alias [italic]ces([italic]p) -- is central to many celebrated inequalities, and thus is studied here in considerable detail.

Pseudofunctors on Modules with Zero Dimensional Support

Pseudofunctors with values on modules with zero dimensional support are constructed over the formally smooth category and residually finite category. Combining those pseudofunctors, a pseudofunctor over the category whose objects are Noetherian local rings and whose morphisms are local with finitely generated residue field extensions is constructed.

Manifolds with Group Actions and Elliptic Operators

This work studies equivariant linear second order elliptic operators [italic capital]P on a connected noncompact manifold [italic capital]X with a given action of a group [italic capital]G. The action is assumed to be cocompact, meaning that [italic capitals]GV = [italic capital]X for some compact subset of [italic capital]V of [italic capital]X. The aim is to study the structure of the convex cone of all positive solutions of [italic capital]P[italic]u = 0.

Algebraic and Analytic Geometry of Fans

A set which can be defined by systems of polynomial inequalities is called semialgebraic. When such a description is possible locally around every point, by means of analytic inequalities varying with the point, the set is called semianalytic. If one single system of strict inequalities is enough, either globally or locally at every point, the set is called basic. The topic of this work is the relationship between these two notions. Namely, Andradas and Ruiz describe and characterize, both algebraically and geometrically, the obstructions for a basic semianalytic set to be basic semialgebraic. Then they describe a special family of obstructions that suffices to recognize whether or not a basic semianalytic set is basic semialgebraic. Finally, they use the preceding results to discuss the effect on basicness of birational transformations.

On the Classification of $C^*$-algebras of Real Rank Zero: Inductive Limits of Matrix Algebras over Non-Hausdorff Graphs

In this paper a [italic capital]K-theoretic classification is given of the real rank zero [italic capital]C*-algebras that can be expressed as inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of matrix algebras over finite connected graphs (possibly with multiple vertices). The special case that the graphs are circles is due to Elliott.

On the Martingale Problem for Interactive Measure-Valued Branching Diffusions

This book develops stochastic integration with respect to ``Brownian trees'' and its associated stochastic calculus, with the aim of proving pathwise existence and uniqueness in a stochastic equation driven by a historical Brownian motion. Perkins uses these results and a Girsanov-type theorem to prove that the martingale problem for the historical process associated with a wide class of interactive branching measure-valued diffusions (superprocesses) is well-posed. The resulting measure-valued processes will arise as limits of the empirical measures of branching particle systems in which particles interact through their spatial motions or, to a lesser extent, through their branching rates.

Higher Spinor Classes

This work defines the higher spinor classes of an orthogonal representation of a Galois group. These classes are higher-degree analogues of the Fröhlich spinor class, which quantify the difference between the Stiefel-Whitney classes of an orthogonal representation and the Hasse-Witt classes of the associated form. Jardine establishes various basic properties, including vanishing in odd degrees and an induction formula for quadratic field extensions. The methods used include the homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves and the action of the Steenrod algebra on mod 2 étale cohomology.

Generalized Tate Cohomology

Let [italic capital]G be a compact Lie group, [italic capitals]EG a contractible free [italic capital]G-space and let [italic capitals]E~G be the unreduced suspension of [italic capitals]EG with one of the cone points as basepoint. Let [italic]k*[over][subscript italic capital]G be a [italic capital]G-spectrum. Let [italic capital]X+ denote the disjoint union of [italic capital]X and a [italic capital]G-fixed basepoint. Define the [italic capital]G-spectra [italic]f([italic]k*[over][subscript italic capital]G) = [italic]k*[over][subscript italic capital]G [up arrowhead symbol] [italic capitals]EG+, [italic]c([italic]k*[over][subscript italic capital]G) = [italic capital]F([italic capitals]EG...

Markov Fields over Countable Partially Ordered Sets: Extrema and Splitting

Various notions of the Markov property relative to a partial ordering have been proposed by both physicists and mathematicians. This work develops techniques for stying Markov fields on partially ordered sets. We introduce random transformations of the index set which preserves the Markov property of the field. These transformations yield new classes of Markov fields starting from relatively simple ones. Examples include a model for crack formation and a model for the distribution of fibres in a composite material.
