A class of nilpotent Lie algebras admitting a compact subgroup of automorphisms

2017

Abstract The realification of the ( 2 n + 1 ) -dimensional complex Heisenberg Lie algebra is a ( 4 n + 2 ) -dimensional real nilpotent Lie algebra with a 2-dimensional commutator ideal coinciding with the centre, and admitting the compact algebra sp ( n ) of derivations. We investigate, in general, whether a real nilpotent Lie algebra with 2-dimensional commutator ideal coinciding with the centre admits a compact Lie algebra of derivations. This also gives us the occasion to revisit a series of classic results, with the expressed aim of attracting the interest of a broader audience.

A note on rank 2 diagonals

2020

<p>We solve two questions regarding spaces with a (G<sub>δ</sub>)-diagonal of rank 2. One is a question of Basile, Bella and Ridderbos about weakly Lindelöf spaces with a G<sub>δ</sub>-diagonal of rank 2 and the other is a question of Arhangel’skii and Bella asking whether every space with a diagonal of rank 2 and cellularity continuum has cardinality at most continuum.</p>

Universal infinitesimal Hilbertianity of sub-Riemannian manifolds

2019

We prove that sub-Riemannian manifolds are infinitesimally Hilbertian (i.e., the associated Sobolev space is Hilbert) when equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure. The result follows from an embedding of metric derivations into the space of square-integrable sections of the horizontal bundle, which we obtain on all weighted sub-Finsler manifolds. As an intermediate tool, of independent interest, we show that any sub-Finsler distance can be monotonically approximated from below by Finsler ones. All the results are obtained in the general setting of possibly rank-varying structures.

A short proof of the infinitesimal Hilbertianity of the weighted Euclidean space

2020

We provide a quick proof of the following known result: the Sobolev space associated with the Euclidean space, endowed with the Euclidean distance and an arbitrary Radon measure, is Hilbert. Our new approach relies upon the properties of the Alberti-Marchese decomposability bundle. As a consequence of our arguments, we also prove that if the Sobolev norm is closable on compactly-supported smooth functions, then the reference measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

On GIT quotients of Hilbert and Chow schemes of curves

2011

The aim of this note is to announce some results on the GIT problem for the Hilbert and Chow scheme of curves of degree d and genus g in P^{d-g}, whose full details will appear in a subsequent paper. In particular, we extend the previous results of L. Caporaso up to d>4(2g-2) and we observe that this is sharp. In the range 2(2g-2)<d<7/2(2g-2), we get a complete new description of the GIT quotient. As a corollary, we get a new compactification of the universal Jacobian over the moduli space of pseudo-stable curves.

Let $d \geq 2$ and $n \geq 1$ be integers and $P_{n+1}$ be the pure braid group on $n + 1$ strands. In this paper, the author studies the image of $P_{n+1}$ under the monodromy action on the homology of a cyclic covering of degree $d$ of the projective line. More precisely, let $k_{1}, \ldots, k_{n + 1}$ be integers such that $1 \leq k_{i} \leq d - 1$ and gcd$(k_{i}, d) = 1$ for each $i$. Moreover, let $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n + 1}$ be distinct points of the complex plane and $C$ be the space of points in $\mathbb{C}^{n + 1}$ with all distinct coordinates. Let us denote by $X_{a, k}$ the affine curve defined by the equation $$ y^{d} = (x - a_{1})^{k_{1}} (x - a_{2})^{k_{2}} \cdots (x - a_{n +1}…

Duality of moduli in regular toroidal metric spaces

2020

We generalize a result of Freedman and He [4, Theorem 2.5], concerning the duality of moduli and capacities in solid tori, to sufficiently regular metric spaces. This is a continuation of the work of the author and Rajala [12] on the corresponding duality in condensers. peerReviewed

Multiplicative loops of 2-dimensional topological quasifields

2015

We determine the algebraic structure of the multiplicative loops for locally compact $2$-dimensional topological connected quasifields. In particular, our attention turns to multiplicative loops which have either a normal subloop of positive dimension or which contain a $1$-dimensional compact subgroup. In the last section we determine explicitly the quasifields which coordinatize locally compact translation planes of dimension $4$ admitting an at least $7$-dimensional Lie group as collineation group.

Geometria e architettura militare

2007

The essay highlights the growing diffusion of treaties relating to the military architecture in Sicily since the second half of the sixteenth century. The research carried out by analyzing the inventories of wills of the Sicilian architects of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the library catalog '"Biscari "and the inventories related to the libraries of some religious orders, revealed an unusually large presence of international treaties related to the mathematical sciences and its applications in the field of architecture both civic and military (geometry, perspective, optics). The research has allowed to reconstruct in part the library of some prestigious architects such as Paolo…
