Groups and Graphs, Designs and Dynamics
This collection of four short courses looks at group representations, graph spectra, statistical optimality, and symbolic dynamics, highlighting their common roots in linear algebra. It leads students from the very beginnings in linear algebra to high-level applications: representations of finite groups, leading to probability models and harmonic analysis; eigenvalues of growing graphs from quantum probability techniques; statistical optimality of designs from Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs; and symbolic dynamics, applying matrix stability and K-theory. An invaluable resource for researchers and beginning Ph.D. students, this book includes copious exercises, notes, and references.
Excluding Infinite Clique Minors
For each infinite cardinal [lowercase Greek]Kappa, we give a structural characterization of the graphs with no [italic capital]K[subscript lowercase Greek]Kappa minor. We also give such a characterization of the graphs with no "half-grid" minor.
Compact Connected Lie Transformation Groups on Spheres with Low Cohomogeneity, I
The cohomogeneity of a transformation group ([italic capitals]G, X) is, by definition, the dimension of its orbit space, [italic]c = dim [italic capitals]X, G. By enlarging this simple numerical invariant, but suitably restricted, one gradually increases the complexity of orbit structures of transformation groups. This is a natural program for classical space forms, which traditionally constitute the first canonical family of testing spaces, due to their unique combination of topological simplicity and abundance in varieties of compact differentiable transformation groups.
Cyclic Phenomena for Composition Operators
We undertake a systematic study of cyclic phenomena for composition operators. Our work shows that composition operators exhibit strikingly diverse types of cyclic behavior, and it connects this behavior with classical problems involving complex polynomial approximation and analytic functional equations.
Higher Multiplicities and Almost Free Divisors and Complete Intersections
Almost free divisors and complete intersections form a general class of nonisolated hypersurface and completer intersection singularities. They also include discriminants of mappings, bifurcation sets, and certain types of arrangements of hyperplanes such as Coxeter arrangements and generic arrangements. Associated to the singularities of this class is a "singular Milnor fibration" which has the same homotopy properties as the Milnor fibration for isolated singularities. This memoir deduces topological properties of singularities in a number of situations including: complements of hyperplane arrangements, various nonisolated complete intersections, nonlinear arrangements of hypersurfaces, functions on discriminants, singularities defined by compositions of functions, and bifurcation sets.
Analytic Deformations of the Spectrum of a Family of Dirac Operators on an Odd-Dimensional Manifold with Boundary
The analytic perturbation theory for eigenvalues of Dirac operators on odd dimensional manifolds with boundary is described in terms of [italic]extended L2 eigenvectors [end italics] on manifolds with cylindrical ends. These are generalizations of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer extended [italic capital]L2 kernel of a Dirac operator. We prove that they form a discrete set near zero and deform analytically, in contrast to [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors, which can be absorbed into the continuous spectrum under deformations when the tangential operator is not invertible. We show that the analytic deformation theory for extended [italic capital]L2 eigenvectors and Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eigenvectors coincides.
Global Aspects of Homoclinic Bifurcations of Vector Fields
In this book, the author investigates a class of smooth one parameter families of vector fields on some $n$-dimensional manifold, exhibiting a homoclinic bifurcation. That is, he considers generic families $x_\mu$, where $x_0$ has a distinguished hyperbolic singularity $p$ and a homoclinic orbit; an orbit converging to $p$ both for positive and negative time. It is assumed that this homoclinic orbit is of saddle-saddle type, characterized by the existence of well-defined directions along which it converges to the singularity $p$. The study is not confined to a small neighborhood of the homoclinic orbit. Instead, the position of the stable and unstable set of the homoclinic orbit is incorporated and it is shown that homoclinic bifurcations can lead to complicated bifurcations and dynamics, including phenomena like intermittency and annihilation of suspended horseshoes.
Cellular Automata
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry, ACRI 2004, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in October 2004. The 60 revised full papers and 30 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 150 submissions. The papers are devoted to methods and theory; evolved cellular automata; traffic, networks, and communication; applications in science and engineering; biomedical applications, natural phenomena and ecology; and social and economical applications.
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.
The Major Counting of Nonintersecting Lattice Paths and Generating Functions for Tableaux
A theory of counting nonintersecting lattice paths by the major index and its generalizations is developed. We obtain determinantal expressions for the corresponding generating functions for families of nonintersecting lattice paths with given starting points and given final points, where the starting points lie on a line parallel to [italic]x + [italic]y = 0. In some cases these determinants can be evaluated to result in simple products. As applications we compute the generating function for tableaux with [italic]p odd rows, with at most [italic]c columns, and with parts between 1 and [italic]n. Moreover, we compute the generating function for the same kind of tableaux which in addition hav...
