New Families of Symplectic Runge-Kutta-Nyström Integration Methods
2001
We present new 6-th and 8-th order explicit symplectic Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods for Hamiltonian systems which are more efficient than other previously known algorithms. The methods use the processing technique and non-trivial flows associated with different elements of the Lie algebra involved in the problem. Both the processor and the kernel are compositions of explicitly computable maps.
Analytic vectors, anomalies and star representations
1989
It is hinted that anomalies are not really anomalous since (at least in characteristic examples) they can be related to a lack of common analytic vectors for the Hamiltonian and the observables. We reanalyze the notions of analytic vectors and of local representations of Lie algebras in this light, and show how the notion of preferred observables introduced in the deformation (star product) approach to quantization may help give an anomaly-free formulation to physical problems. Finally, some remarks are made concerning the applicability of these considerations to field theory, especially in two dimensions.
The cauchy problem for non-linear Klein-Gordon equations
1993
We consider in ℝ n+1,n≧2, the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation. We prove for such an equation that there is a neighbourhood of zero in a Hilbert space of initial conditions for which the Cauchy problem has global solutions and on which there is asymptotic completeness. The inverse of the wave operator linearizes the non-linear equation. If, moreover, the equation is manifestly Poincare covariant then the non-linear representation of the Poincare Lie algebra, associated with the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation is integrated to a non-linear representation of the Poincare group on an invariant neighbourhood of zero in the Hilbert space. This representation is linearized by the inverse of the …
Metric properties of the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms
2001
Area preserving cliffeoinorpliisms of the 2-disk which are identity near the boundary form a group D2 wllich can be equipped, usin-g tlhe L2nlorm on its Lie algebra, with a right invariant metric. Witll tllis metric the diameter of D2 is infinite. In this paper we sl-iow that D2 contains quasiisometric embeddings of any finitely generated free group and any finitely generated abelian free group.
Polynomial Identities of Algebras of Small Dimension
2009
It is well known that given an associative algebra or a Lie algebra A, its codimension sequence c n (A) is either polynomially bounded or grows at least as fast as 2 n . In [2] we proved that for a finite dimensional (in general nonassociative) algebra A, dim A = d, the sequence c n (A) is also polynomially bounded or c n (A) ≥ a n asymptotically, for some real number a > 1 which might be less than 2. Nevertheless, for d = 2, we may take a = 2. Here we prove that for d = 3 the same conclusion holds. We also construct a five-dimensional algebra A with c n (A) < 2 n .
Séparation des orbites coadjointes d'un groupe exponentiel par leur enveloppe convexe
2008
Resume Revenant sur la question de la separation des representations unitaires irreductibles d'un groupe de Lie exponentiel G par leur application moment, nous presentons ici une nouvelle solution : au lieu de prolonger l'application moment a l'algebre enveloppante de G , nous proposons de definir une application (non lineaire) Φ de g ∗ dans le dual g + ∗ de l'algebre de Lie d'un groupe resoluble G + , de prolonger les representations de G a G + de telle facon que les orbites coadjointes correspondantes de G + soient caracterisees par l'adherence de leur enveloppe convexe. Ceci nous permet de separer les representations irreductibles de G .
Topological lower bounds on the distance between area preserving diffeomorphisms
2000
Area preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-disk which are Identity near the boundary form a group which can be equipped, using theL2-norm on its Lie algebra, with a right invariant metric. In this paper we give a lower bound on the distance between diffeomorphisms which is invariant under area preserving changes of coordinates and which improves the lower bound induced by the Calabi invariant. In the case of renormalizable and infinitely renormalizable maps, our estimate can be improved and computed.

Semisimple Lie Algebras
1989
Let F be the field of real or complex numbers. A Lie algebra is a vector space g over F with a Lie product (or commutator) [·,·]: g × g → g such that $$x \mapsto \left[ {x,y} \right]\;is\;linear\;for\;any\;y \in g,$$ (1) $$\left[ {x,y} \right] =- \left[ {y,x} \right],$$ (2) $$\left[ {x,\left[ {y,z} \right]} \right] + \left[ {y,\left[ {z,x} \right]} \right] + \left[ {z,\left[ {x,y} \right]} \right] = 0.$$ (3) The last condition is called the Jacobi identity. From (1) and (2) it follows that also y ↦ [x,y] is linear for any x ∈ g. In this chapter we shall consider only fini te-dimensional Lie algebras. In any vector space g one can always define a trivial Lie product [x,y] = 0. A Lie algebra …
Norms of harmonic projection operators on compact Lie groups
1988
In order to simplify the notation, we will assume throughout that G is connected, simply connected and semisimple. Sharp estimates for vp(z 0 when G = SU(2) have been obtained by Sogge [6], who proved that Vp(Zt) ~ d~ tl/v), where y(t) is the function which is affine on [1/2, 3/4] and on [3/4, 1] and is such that 7(1/2)=0, 7(3/4)=1/4, 7(1)=1. Two results in the literature give crucial estimates from below for vp(n) in the general case. The first estimate concernes the LP'-norm of the character X, : if ,~, is the highest weight of n and 0 is half the sum of the positive roots, then II x=llp,--> + 011-dimG/p" (1.2)
