Advances in Dynamic Game Theory

This collection of selected contributions gives an account of recent developments in dynamic game theory and its applications, covering both theoretical advances and new applications of dynamic games in such areas as pursuit-evasion games, ecology, and economics. Written by experts in their respective disciplines, the chapters include stochastic and differential games; dynamic games and their applications in various areas, such as ecology and economics; pursuit-evasion games; and evolutionary game theory and applications. The work will serve as a state-of-the art account of recent advances in dynamic game theory and its applications for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in applied mathematics, mathematical finance, and engineering.

Lyapunov Exponents and Invariant Manifolds for Random Dynamical Systems in a Banach Space

The authors study the Lyapunov exponents and their associated invariant subspaces for infinite dimensional random dynamical systems in a Banach space, which are generated by, for example, stochastic or random partial differential equations. The authors prove a multiplicative ergodic theorem and then use this theorem to establish the stable and unstable manifold theorem for nonuniformly hyperbolic random invariant sets.

Weighted Shifts on Directed Trees

A new class of (not necessarily bounded) operators related to (mainly infinite) directed trees is introduced and investigated. Operators in question are to be considered as a generalization of classical weighted shifts, on the one hand, and of weighted adjacency operators, on the other; they are called weighted shifts on directed trees. The basic properties of such operators, including closedness, adjoints, polar decomposition and moduli are studied. Circularity and the Fredholmness of weighted shifts on directed trees are discussed. The relationships between domains of a weighted shift on a directed tree and its adjoint are described. Hyponormality, cohyponormality, subnormality and complete hyperexpansivity of such operators are entirely characterized in terms of their weights. Related questions that arose during the study of the topic are solved as well.

Definable Additive Categories: Purity and Model Theory

Most of the model theory of modules works, with only minor modifications, in much more general additive contexts (such as functor categories, categories of comodules, categories of sheaves). Furthermore, even within a given category of modules, many subcategories form a ``self-sufficient'' context in which the model theory may be developed without reference to the larger category of modules. The notion of a definable additive category covers all these contexts. The (imaginaries) language which one uses for model theory in a definable additive category can be obtained from the category (of structures and homomorphisms) itself, namely, as the category of those functors to the category of abelian groups which commute with products and direct limits. Dually, the objects of the definable category--the modules (or functors, or comodules, or sheaves)--to which that model theory applies may be recovered as the exact functors from the, small abelian, category (the category of pp-imaginaries) which underlies that language.

The Generalized Fitting Subsystem of a Fusion System

Here, the author seeks to build a local theory of fusion systems, analogous to the local theory of finite groups, involving normal subsystems and factor systems.

Metrics of Positive Scalar Curvature and Generalised Morse Functions, Part I

It is well known that isotopic metrics of positive scalar curvature are concordant. Whether or not the converse holds is an open question, at least in dimensions greater than four. The author shows that for a particular type of concordance, constructed using the surgery techniques of Gromov and Lawson, this converse holds in the case of closed simply connected manifolds of dimension at least five.

$Q$-Valued Functions Revisited

In this memoir the authors revisit Almgren's theory of $Q$-valued functions, which are functions taking values in the space $\mathcal{A}_Q(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ of unordered $Q$-tuples of points in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In particular, the authors: give shorter versions of Almgren's proofs of the existence of $\mathrm{Dir}$-minimizing $Q$-valued functions, of their Holder regularity, and of the dimension estimate of their singular set; propose an alternative, intrinsic approach to these results, not relying on Almgren's biLipschitz embedding $\xi: \mathcal{A}_Q(\mathbb{R}^{n})\to\mathbb{R}^{N(Q,n)}$; improve upon the estimate of the singular set of planar $\mathrm{D}$-minimizing functions by showing that it consists of isolated points.

Iwasawa Theory, Projective Modules, and Modular Representations

This paper shows that properties of projective modules over a group ring $\mathbf{Z}_p[\Delta]$, where $\Delta$ is a finite Galois group, can be used to study the behavior of certain invariants which occur naturally in Iwasawa theory for an elliptic curve $E$. Modular representation theory for the group $\Delta$ plays a crucial role in this study. It is necessary to make a certain assumption about the vanishing of a $\mu$-invariant. The author then studies $\lambda$-invariants $\lambda_E(\sigma)$, where $\sigma$ varies over the absolutely irreducible representations of $\Delta$. He shows that there are non-trivial relationships between these invariants under certain hypotheses.

Erdos Space and Homeomorphism Groups of Manifolds

Let M be either a topological manifold, a Hilbert cube manifold, or a Menger manifold and let D be an arbitrary countable dense subset of M. Consider the topological group H(M,D) which consists of all autohomeomorphisms of M that map D onto itself equipped with the compact-open topology. We present a complete solution to the topological classification problem for H(M,D) as follows. If M is a one-dimensional topological manifold, then we proved in an earlier paper that H(M,D) is homeomorphic to Qω, the countable power of the space of rational numbers. In all other cases we find in this paper that H(M,D) is homeomorphic to the famed Erdős space E E, which consists of the vectors in Hilbert space l2 with rational coordinates. We obtain the second result by developing topological characterizations of Erdős space.
