Multiplicity of fixed points and growth of ε-neighborhoods of orbits

2012

We study the relationship between the multiplicity of a fixed point of a function g, and the dependence on epsilon of the length of epsilon-neighborhood of any orbit of g, tending to the fixed point. The relationship between these two notions was discovered before (Elezovic, Zubrinic, Zupanovic) in the differentiable case, and related to the box dimension of the orbit. Here, we generalize these results to non-differentiable cases introducing a new notion of critical Minkowski order. We study the space of functions having a development in a Chebyshev scale and use multiplicity with respect to this space of functions. With the new definition, we recover the relationship between multiplicity o…

Characterizations of Orlicz-Sobolev Spaces by Means of Generalized Orlicz-Poincaré Inequalities

2012

Let Φ be anN-function. We show that a functionu∈LΦ(ℝn)belongs to the Orlicz-Sobolev spaceW1,Φ(ℝn)if and only if it satisfies the (generalized) Φ-Poincaré inequality. Under more restrictive assumptions on Φ, an analog of the result holds in a general metric measure space setting.

Some properties of vertex-oblique graphs

2016

The type t G ( v ) of a vertex v ? V ( G ) is the ordered degree-sequence ( d 1 , ? , d d G ( v ) ) of the vertices adjacent with v , where d 1 ? ? ? d d G ( v ) . A graph G is called vertex-oblique if it contains no two vertices of the same type. In this paper we show that for reals a , b the class of vertex-oblique graphs G for which | E ( G ) | ? a | V ( G ) | + b holds is finite when a ? 1 and infinite when a ? 2 . Apart from one missing interval, it solves the following problem posed by Schreyer et?al. (2007): How many graphs of bounded average degree are vertex-oblique? Furthermore we obtain the tight upper bound on the independence and clique numbers of vertex-oblique graphs as a fun…

L 2-topological invariants of 3-manifolds

1995

We give results on theL2-Betti numbers and Novikov-Shubin invariants of compact manifolds, especially 3-manifolds. We first study the Betti numbers and Novikov-Shubin invariants of a chain complex of Hilbert modules over a finite von Neumann algebra. We establish inequalities among the Novikov-Shubin invariants of the terms in a short exact sequence of chain complexes. Our algebraic results, along with some analytic results on geometric 3-manifolds, are used to compute theL2-Betti numbers of compact 3-manifolds which satisfy a weak form of the geometrization conjecture, and to compute or estimate their Novikov-Shubin invariants.

Character sums and double cosets

2008

Abstract If G is a p-solvable finite group, P is a self-normalizing Sylow p-subgroup of G with derived subgroup P ′ , and Ψ is the sum of all the irreducible characters of G of degree not divisible by p, then we prove that the integer Ψ ( P ′ z P ′ ) is divisible by | P | for all z ∈ G . This answers a question of J. Alperin.

McKay natural correspondences on characters

2014

Let [math] be a finite group, let [math] be an odd prime, and let [math] . If [math] , then there is a canonical correspondence between the irreducible complex characters of [math] of degree not divisible by [math] belonging to the principal block of [math] and the linear characters of [math] . As a consequence, we give a characterization of finite groups that possess a self-normalizing Sylow [math] -subgroup or a [math] -decomposable Sylow normalizer.

Formal Periods and the Period Conjecture

2017

Following Kontsevich (see Kontsevich in Operads and motives in deformation quantization. Lett. Math. Phys. 48(1):35–72, 1999), we now introduce another algebra \(\tilde{\mathbb {P}}(k)\) of formal periods from the same data we have used in order to define the actual period algebra of a field in Chap. 11. The main aim of this chapter is to give conceptual interpretation of this algebra of formal periods. We then use it to formulate and discuss the period conjecture.

Maximal function estimates and self-improvement results for Poincaré inequalities

2018

Our main result is an estimate for a sharp maximal function, which implies a Keith–Zhong type self-improvement property of Poincaré inequalities related to differentiable structures on metric measure spaces. As an application, we give structure independent representation for Sobolev norms and universality results for Sobolev spaces. peerReviewed

Quasihyperbolic boundary conditions and Poincaré domains

2002

We prove that a domain in ${\Bbb R}^n$ whose quasihyperbolic metric satisfies a logarithmic growth condition with coefficient $\beta\le 1$ is a (q,p)-\Poincare domain for all p and q satisfying $p\in[1,\infty)\cap(n-n\beta,n)$ and $q\in[p,\beta p^*)$ , where $p^*=np/(n-p)$ denotes the Sobolev conjugate exponent. An elementary example shows that the given ranges for p and q are sharp. The proof makes use of estimates for a variational capacity. When p=2 we give an application to the solvability of the Neumann problem on domains with irregular boundaries. We also discuss the relationship between this growth condition on the quasihyperbolic metric and the s-John condition.
