Uniqueness of diffusion on domains with rough boundaries

2016

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbf R^d$ and $h(\varphi)=\sum^d_{k,l=1}(\partial_k\varphi, c_{kl}\partial_l\varphi)$ a quadratic form on $L_2(\Omega)$ with domain $C_c^\infty(\Omega)$ where the $c_{kl}$ are real symmetric $L_\infty(\Omega)$-functions with $C(x)=(c_{kl}(x))>0$ for almost all $x\in \Omega$. Further assume there are $a, \delta>0$ such that $a^{-1}d_\Gamma^{\delta}\,I\le C\le a\,d_\Gamma^{\delta}\,I$ for $d_\Gamma\le 1$ where $d_\Gamma$ is the Euclidean distance to the boundary $\Gamma$ of $\Omega$. We assume that $\Gamma$ is Ahlfors $s$-regular and if $s$, the Hausdorff dimension of $\Gamma$, is larger or equal to $d-1$ we also assume a mild uniformity property for $\Omega$ i…

Positivity, complex FIOs, and Toeplitz operators

2018

International audience; We establish a characterization of complex linear canonical transformations that are positive with respect to a pair of strictly plurisubharmonic quadratic weights. As an application, we show that the boundedness of a class of Toeplitz operators on the Bargmann space is implied by the boundedness of their Weyl symbols.

On the Quadratic Type of Some Simple Self-Dual Modules over Fields of Characteristic Two

1997

Let G be a finite group and let K be an algebraically closed field of Ž characteristic 2. Let V be a non-trivial simple self-dual KG-module we . say that V is self-dual if it is isomorphic to its dual V * . It is a theorem of w x Fong 4, Lemma 1 that in this case there is a non-degenerate G-invariant alternating bilinear form, F, say, defined on V = V. We say that V is a KG-module of quadratic type if F is the polarization of a non-degenerate w x G-invariant quadratic form defined on V. In a previous paper 6 , the present authors described some methods to decide if such a module V is of w x quadratic type. One of the main results of 6 is the following. Suppose that Ž . G is a group with a s…

Quadratic rational solvable groups

2012

Abstract A finite group G is quadratic rational if all its irreducible characters are either rational or quadratic. If G is a quadratic rational solvable group, we show that the prime divisors of | G | lie in { 2 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 13 } , and no prime can be removed from this list. More generally, if G is solvable and the field Q ( χ ) generated by the values of χ over Q satisfies | Q ( χ ) : Q | ⩽ k , for all χ ∈ Irr ( G ) , then the set of prime divisors of | G | is bounded in terms of k . Also, we prove that the degree of the field generated by the values of all characters of a semi-rational solvable group (see Chillag and Dolfi, 2010 [1] ) or a quadratic rational solvable group over Q is bou…

Einklassige Geschlechter totalpositiver quadratischer Formen in totalreellen algebraischen Zahlkörpern

1971

Abstract It is proved that totally positive quadratic forms with three or more variables and class number h = 1 exist only in a finite number of algebraic number fields. Each field allows only a finite number of such forms with bounded scale. To prove this, upper estimates for all local factors in Siegel's analytic formula are constructed by calculating explicitly numbers of solutions of quadratic congruences.

Quadratic characters in groups of odd order

2009

Abstract We prove that in a finite group of odd order, the number of irreducible quadratic characters is the number of quadratic conjugacy classes.

Signature of the presence of a third body orbiting around XB 1916-053

2015

The ultra-compact dipping source \object{XB 1916-053} has an orbital period of close to 50 min and a companion star with a very low mass (less than 0.1 M$_{\odot}$). The orbital period derivative of the source was estimated to be $1.5(3) \times 10^{-11}$ s/s through analysing the delays associated with the dip arrival times obtained from observations spanning 25 years, from 1978 to 2002. The known orbital period derivative is extremely large and can be explained by invoking an extreme, non-conservative mass transfer rate that is not easily justifiable. We extended the analysed data from 1978 to 2014, by spanning 37 years, to verify whether a larger sample of data can be fitted with a quadra…

Breakdown of the Isobaric Multiplet Mass Equation atA=33,T=3/2

2001

Mass measurements on ${}^{33,34,42,43}\mathrm{Ar}$ were performed using the Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP and a newly constructed linear Paul trap. This arrangement allowed us, for the first time, to extend Penning trap mass measurements to nuclides with half-lives below one second ( ${}^{33}\mathrm{Ar}$: ${T}_{1/2}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}174\mathrm{ms}$). A mass accuracy of about ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$ $(\ensuremath{\delta}m\ensuremath{\approx}4\mathrm{keV})$ was achieved for all investigated nuclides. The isobaric multiplet mass equation was checked for the $A\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}33$, $T\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom…

Integral binary Hamiltonian forms and their waterworlds

2018

We give a graphical theory of integral indefinite binary Hamiltonian forms $f$ analogous to the one by Conway for binary quadratic forms and the one of Bestvina-Savin for binary Hermitian forms. Given a maximal order $\mathcal O$ in a definite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb Q$, we define the waterworld of $f$, analogous to Conway's river and Bestvina-Savin's ocean, and use it to give a combinatorial description of the values of $f$ on $\mathcal O\times\mathcal O$. We use an appropriate normalisation of Busemann distances to the cusps (with an algebraic description given in an independent appendix), and the $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathcal O)$-equivariant Ford-Voronoi cellulation of the real …
