A characterization of the Schur property through the disk algebra
2017
[EN] In this paper we give a new characterization of when a Banach space E has the Schur property in terms of the disk algebra. We prove that E has the Schur property if and only if A(D, E) = A(D,E-w). (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Restriction of odd degree characters and natural correspondences
2016
Let $q$ be an odd prime power, $n > 1$, and let $P$ denote a maximal parabolic subgroup of $GL_n(q)$ with Levi subgroup $GL_{n-1}(q) \times GL_1(q)$. We restrict the odd-degree irreducible characters of $GL_n(q)$ to $P$ to discover a natural correspondence of characters, both for $GL_n(q)$ and $SL_n(q)$. A similar result is established for certain finite groups with self-normalizing Sylow $p$-subgroups. We also construct a canonical bijection between the odd-degree irreducible characters of $S_n$ and those of $M$, where $M$ is any maximal subgroup of $S_n$ of odd index; as well as between the odd-degree irreducible characters of $G = GL_n(q)$ or $GU_n(q)$ with $q$ odd and those of $N_{G}…
Triple planes with $p_g=q=0$
2019
We show that general triple planes with p_g=q=0 belong to at most 12 families, that we call surfaces of type I,..., XII, and we prove that the corresponding Tschirnhausen bundle is direct sum of two line bundles in cases I, II, III, whereas is a rank 2 Steiner bundle in the remaining cases. We also provide existence results and explicit constructions for surfaces of type I,..., VII, recovering all classical examples and discovering several new ones. In particular, triple planes of type VII provide counterexamples to a wrong claim made in 1942 by Bronowski.
The cup product of Hilbert schemes for K3 surfaces
2003
To any graded Frobenius algebra A we associate a sequence of graded Frobenius algebras A [n] so that there is canonical isomorphism of rings (H *(X;ℚ)[2]) [n] ≅H *(X [n] ;ℚ)[2n] for the Hilbert scheme X [n] of generalised n-tuples of any smooth projective surface X with numerically trivial canonical bundle.
Automorphism groups of some affine and finite type Artin groups
2004
We observe that, for fixed n ≥ 3, each of the Artin groups of finite type An, Bn = Cn, and affine type ˜ An−1 and ˜ Cn−1 is a central extension of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of the (n + 2)-punctured sphere. (The centre is trivial in the affine case and infinite cyclic in the finite type cases). Using results of Ivanov and Korkmaz on abstract commensurators of surface mapping class groups we are able to determine the automorphism groups of each member of these four infinite families of Artin groups. A rank n Coxeter matrix is a symmetric n × n matrix M with integer entries mij ∈ N ∪ {∞} where mij ≥ 2 for ij, and mii = 1 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n. Given any rank n Coxeter matr…
Three cyclic branched covers suffice to determine hyperbolic knots.
2005
Let n > m > 2 be two fixed coprime integers. We prove that two Conway reducible, hyperbolic knots sharing the 2-fold, m-fold and n-fold cyclic branched covers are equivalent. Using previous results by Zimmermann we prove that this implies that a hyperbolic knot is determined by any three of its cyclic branched covers.
The renormalized electron mass in non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics
2007
This work addresses the problem of infrared mass renormalization for a scalar electron in a translation-invariant model of non-relativistic QED. We assume that the interaction of the electron with the quantized electromagnetic field comprises a fixed ultraviolet regularization and an infrared regularization parametrized by $\sigma>0$. For the value $p=0$ of the conserved total momentum of electron and photon field, bounds on the renormalized mass are established which are uniform in $\sigma\to0$, and the existence of a ground state is proved. For $|p|>0$ sufficiently small, bounds on the renormalized mass are derived for any fixed $\sigma>0$. A key ingredient of our proofs is the operator-t…
Combinatorial proofs of two theorems of Lutz and Stull
2021
Recently, Lutz and Stull used methods from algorithmic information theory to prove two new Marstrand-type projection theorems, concerning subsets of Euclidean space which are not assumed to be Borel, or even analytic. One of the theorems states that if $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is any set with equal Hausdorff and packing dimensions, then $$ \dim_{\mathrm{H}} π_{e}(K) = \min\{\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K,1\} $$ for almost every $e \in S^{n - 1}$. Here $π_{e}$ stands for orthogonal projection to $\mathrm{span}(e)$. The primary purpose of this paper is to present proofs for Lutz and Stull's projection theorems which do not refer to information theoretic concepts. Instead, they will rely on combinatori…
Efficient Quantum Algorithms for (Gapped) Group Testing and Junta Testing
2015
In the k-junta testing problem, a tester has to efficiently decide whether a given function f: {0, 1}n → {0, 1} is a k-junta (i.e., depends on at most fc of its input bits) or is ε-far from any k-junta. Our main result is a quantum algorithm for this problem with query complexity Õ([EQUATION]) and time complexity Õ(n[EQUATION]). This quadratically improves over the query complexity of the previous best quantum junta tester, due to Atıcı and Servedio. Our tester is based on a new quantum algorithm for a gapped version of the combinatorial group testing problem, with an up to quartic improvement over the query complexity of the best classical algorithm. For our upper bound on the time complex…
Lines on K3 quartic surfaces in characteristic 2
2016
We prove that a K3 quartic surface defined over a field of characteristic 2 can contain at most 68 lines. If it contains 68 lines, then it is projectively equivalent to a member of a 1-dimensional family found by Rams and Sch\"utt.
