Rigidity of quasisymmetric mappings on self-affine carpets
2016
We show that the class of quasisymmetric maps between horizontal self-affine carpets is rigid. Such maps can only exist when the dimensions of the carpets coincide, and in this case, the quasisymmetric maps are quasi-Lipschitz. We also show that horizontal self-affine carpets are minimal for the conformal Assouad dimension.
Morphisms of certain banach C*-modules
2000
Morphisms and representations of a class of Banach C*-modules, called CQ*algebras, are considered. Together with a general method for constructing CQ*-algebras, two different ways of extending the GNS-representation are presented.
Multiplications of Distributions in One Dimension and a First Application to Quantum Field Theory
2002
In a previous paper we introduced a class of multiplications of distributions in one dimension. Here we furnish different generalizations of the original definition and we discuss some applications of these procedures to the multiplication of delta functions and to quantum field theory. © 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
Classification and non-existence results for weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions
2021
Abstract We classify positive solutions to a class of quasilinear equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions in convex domains. Our main tool is an integral formula involving the trace of some relevant quantities for the problem. Under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, a relevant consequence of our results is that we can extend to weak solutions a celebrated result obtained for stable solutions by Casten and Holland and by Matano.
TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM DOUBLE
1994
Following a preceding paper showing how the introduction of a t.v.s. topology on quantum groups led to a remarkable unification and rigidification of the different definitions, we adapt here, in the same way, the definition of quantum double. This topological double is dualizable and reflexive (even for infinite dimensional algebras). In a simple case we show, considering the double as the "zero class" of an extension theory, the uniqueness of the double structure as a quasi-Hopf algebra. A la suite d'un précédent article montrant comment l'introduction d'une topologie d'e.v.t. sur les groupes quantiques permet une unification et une rigidification remarquables des différentes définitions,…
Existence of viscosity solutions to two-phase problems for fully nonlinear equations with distributed sources
2018
In this paper we construct a viscosity solution of a two-phase free boundary problem for a class of fully nonlinear equation with distributed sources, via an adaptation of the Perron method. Our results extend those in [Caffarelli, 1988], [Wang, 2003] for the homogeneous case, and of [De Silva, Ferrari, Salsa, 2015] for divergence form operators with right hand side.
Signatures of physical constraints in rotating rigid bodies
2023
We study signatures of physical constraints on free rotations of rigid bodies. We show analytically that the physical or non-physical nature of the moments of inertia of a system can be detected by qualitative changes both in the Montgomery Phase and in the Tennis Racket Effect.
Invariant deformation theory of affine schemes with reductive group action
2015
We develop an invariant deformation theory, in a form accessible to practice, for affine schemes $W$ equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. Given the defining equations of a $G$-invariant subscheme $X \subset W$, we device an algorithm to compute the universal deformation of $X$ in terms of generators and relations up to a given order. In many situations, our algorithm even computes an algebraization of the universal deformation. As an application, we determine new families of examples of the invariant Hilbert scheme of Alexeev and Brion, where $G$ is a classical group acting on a classical representation, and describe their singularities.
The hidden group structure of quantum groups: strong duality, rigidity and preferred deformations
1994
A notion of well-behaved Hopf algebra is introduced; reflexivity (for strong duality) between Hopf algebras of Drinfeld-type and their duals, algebras of coefficients of compact semi-simple groups, is proved. A hidden classical group structure is clearly indicated for all generic models of quantum groups. Moyal-product-like deformations are naturally found for all FRT-models on coefficients andC∞-functions. Strong rigidity (H bi 2 ={0}) under deformations in the category of bialgebras is proved and consequences are deduced.
Some contributions to the theory of transformation monoids
2019
The aim of this paper is to present some contributions to the theory of finite transformation monoids. The dominating influence that permutation groups have on transformation monoids is used to describe and characterise transitive transformation monoids and primitive transitive transformation monoids. We develop a theory that not only includes the analogs of several important theorems of the classical theory of permutation groups but also contains substantial information about the algebraic structure of the transformation monoids. Open questions naturally arising from the substantial paper of Steinberg [A theory of transformation monoids: combinatorics and representation theory. Electron. J…
