On the Directly and Subdirectly Irreducible Many-Sorted Algebras

2015

AbstractA theorem of single-sorted universal algebra asserts that every finite algebra can be represented as a product of a finite family of finite directly irreducible algebras. In this article, we show that the many-sorted counterpart of the above theorem is also true, but under the condition of requiring, in the definition of directly reducible many-sorted algebra, that the supports of the factors should be included in the support of the many-sorted algebra. Moreover, we show that the theorem of Birkhoff, according to which every single-sorted algebra is isomorphic to a subdirect product of subdirectly irreducible algebras, is also true in the field of many-sorted algebras.

A Primer on Carnot Groups: Homogenous Groups, Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, and Regularity of Their Isometries

2017

AbstractCarnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms that are dilations with respect to the distance. We present the basic theory of Carnot groups together with several remarks.We consider them as special cases of graded groups and as homogeneous metric spaces.We discuss the regularity of isometries in the general case of Carnot-Carathéodory spaces and of nilpotent metric Lie groups.

PIP-Space Valued Reproducing Pairs of Measurable Functions

2019

We analyze the notion of reproducing pairs of weakly measurable functions, a generalization of continuous frames. The aim is to represent elements of an abstract space Y as superpositions of weakly measurable functions belonging to a space Z : = Z ( X , μ ), where ( X , μ ) is a measure space. Three cases are envisaged, with increasing generality: (i) Y and Z are both Hilbert spaces; (ii) Y is a Hilbert space, but Z is a pip-space; (iii) Y and Z are both pip-spaces. It is shown, in particular, that the requirement that a pair of measurable functions be reproducing strongly constrains the structure of the initial space Y. Examples are presented for each case.

On the representation of integers by indefinite binary Hermitian forms

2011

Given an integral indefinite binary Hermitian form f over an imaginary quadratic number field, we give a precise asymptotic equivalent to the number of nonequivalent representations, satisfying some congruence properties, of the rational integers with absolute value at most s by f, as s tends to infinity.

Assouad dimension, Nagata dimension, and uniformly close metric tangents

2013

We study the Assouad dimension and the Nagata dimension of metric spaces. As a general result, we prove that the Nagata dimension of a metric space is always bounded from above by the Assouad dimension. Most of the paper is devoted to the study of when these metric dimensions of a metric space are locally given by the dimensions of its metric tangents. Having uniformly close tangents is not sufficient. What is needed in addition is either that the tangents have dimension with uniform constants independent from the point and the tangent, or that the tangents are unique. We will apply our results to equiregular subRiemannian manifolds and show that locally their Nagata dimension equals the to…

Normed Quasi *-Algebras: Bounded Elements and Spectrum

2020

Bounded elements of a Banach quasi *-algebra are intended to be those, whose images under every *-representation are bounded operators in a Hilbert space. This rough idea can be developed in several ways, as we shall see in the present chapter. These notions lead us to discuss a convenient concept of spectrum of an element in this context.

Feynman-Kac formulae

2015

In this chapter, we establish the connection between the deterministic EIT forward problem and the class of reflecting diffusion processes. We proceed along the lines of the recent paper [137] by Piiroinen and the author: We derive Feynman-Kac formulae in terms of these processes for the solutions to the forward problems corresponding to the continuum model and the complete electrode model, respectively. These results extend the classical Feynman-Kac formulae for elliptic boundary value problems in smooth domains and with smooth coefficients which were obtained in the 1980s and 1990s using the Feller semigroup approach and Ito stochastic calculus. In contrast to this well-studied situation,…

Rate of Mixing for Equilibrium States in Negative Curvature and Trees

2021

In this survey based on the recent book by the three authors, we recall the Patterson-Sullivan construction of equilibrium states for the geodesic flow on negatively curved orbifolds or tree quotients, and discuss their mixing properties, emphasizing the rate of mixing for (not necessarily compact) tree quotients via coding by countable (not necessarily finite) topological shifts. We give a new construction of numerous nonuniform tree lattices such that the (discrete time) geodesic flow on the tree quotient is exponentially mixing with respect to the maximal entropy measure: we construct examples whose tree quotients have an arbitrary space of ends or an arbitrary (at most exponential) grow…

THE BISHOP-PHELPS-BOLLOBAS PROPERTY FOR HERMITIAN FORMS ON HILBERT SPACES

On non-self-adjoint operators defined by Riesz bases in Hilbert and rigged Hilbert spaces

2018

In this paper we discuss some results on non self-adjoint Hamiltonians with real discrete simple spectrum under the assumption that their eigenvectors form Riesz bases of a certain Hilbert space. Also, we exhibit a generalization of those results to the case of rigged Hilbert spaces, and we also consider the problem of the factorization of the aforementioned Hamiltonians in terms of generalized lowering and raising operators.
