Double point curves for corank 2 map germs from C2 to C3
2012
Abstract We characterize finite determinacy of map germs f : ( C 2 , 0 ) → ( C 3 , 0 ) in terms of the Milnor number μ ( D ( f ) ) of the double point curve D ( f ) in ( C 2 , 0 ) and we provide an explicit description of the double point scheme in terms of elementary symmetric functions. Also we prove that the Whitney equisingularity of 1-parameter families of map germs f t : ( C 2 , 0 ) → ( C 3 , 0 ) is equivalent to the constancy of both μ ( D ( f t ) ) and μ ( f t ( C 2 ) ∩ H ) with respect to t , where H ⊂ C 3 is a generic plane.
Degrees of irreducible characters of the symmetric group and exponential growth
2015
We consider sequences of degrees of ordinary irreducible S n S_n - characters. We assume that the corresponding Young diagrams have rows and columns bounded by some linear function of n n with leading coefficient less than one. We show that any such sequence has at least exponential growth and we compute an explicit bound.

Explicit expressions for totally symmetric spherical functions and symmetry-dependent properties of multipoles
2014
Closed expressions for matrix elements 〈 lm' | A (G)| lm 〉, where | lm 〉 are spherical functions and A (G) is the average of all symmetry operators of point group G, are derived for all point groups (PGs) and then used to obtain linear combinations of spherical functions that are totally symmetric under all symmetry operations of G. In the derivation, we exploit the product structure of the groups. The obtained expressions are used to explore properties of multipoles of symmetric charge distributions. We produce complete lists of selection rules for multipoles Q l and their moments Q lm , as well as of numbers of independent moments in a multipole, for any l and m and for all PGs. Periodic…
Understanding Quantum Algorithms via Query Complexity
2017
Query complexity is a model of computation in which we have to compute a function $f(x_1, \ldots, x_N)$ of variables $x_i$ which can be accessed via queries. The complexity of an algorithm is measured by the number of queries that it makes. Query complexity is widely used for studying quantum algorithms, for two reasons. First, it includes many of the known quantum algorithms (including Grover's quantum search and a key subroutine of Shor's factoring algorithm). Second, one can prove lower bounds on the query complexity, bounding the possible quantum advantage. In the last few years, there have been major advances on several longstanding problems in the query complexity. In this talk, we su…
2-SYMMETRIC CRITICAL POINT THEOREMS FOR NON-DIFFERENTIABLE FUNCTIONS
2008
AbstractIn this paper, some min–max theorems for even andC1functionals established by Ghoussoub are extended to the case of functionals that are the sum of a locally Lipschitz continuous, even term and a convex, proper, lower semi-continuous, even function. A class of non-smooth functionals admitting an unbounded sequence of critical values is also pointed out.
The convolution operation on the spectra of algebras of symmetric analytic functions
2012
Abstract We show that the spectrum of the algebra of bounded symmetric analytic functions on l p , 1 ≤ p + ∞ with the symmetric convolution operation is a commutative semigroup with the cancellation law for which we discuss the existence of inverses. For p = 1 , a representation of the spectrum in terms of entire functions of exponential type is obtained which allows us to determine the invertible elements.
Generalized ``transition probability''
1975
An operationally meaningful symmetric function defined on pairs of states of an arbitrary physical system is constructed and is shown to coincide with the usual “transition probability” in the special case of systems admitting a quantum-mechanical description. It can be used to define a metric in the set of physical states. Conceivable applications to the analysis of certain aspects of Quantum Mechanics and to its possible modifications are mentioned.
Parabolic equations with natural growth approximated by nonlocal equations
2017
In this paper we study several aspects related with solutions of nonlocal problems whose prototype is $$ u_t =\displaystyle \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} J(x-y) \big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) \mathcal G\big( u(y,t) -u(x,t) \big) dy \qquad \mbox{ in } \, \Omega \times (0,T)\,, $$ being $ u (x,t)=0 \mbox{ in } (\mathbb{R}^N\setminus \Omega )\times (0,T)\,$ and $ u(x,0)=u_0 (x) \mbox{ in } \Omega$. We take, as the most important instance, $\mathcal G (s) \sim 1+ \frac{\mu}{2} \frac{s}{1+\mu^2 s^2 }$ with $\mu\in \mathbb{R}$ as well as $u_0 \in L^1 (\Omega)$, $J$ is a smooth symmetric function with compact support and $\Omega$ is either a bounded smooth subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$, with nonlocal Dirichlet bound…
The algebra of symmetric analytic functions on L∞
2017
We consider the algebra of holomorphic functions on L∞ that are symmetric, i.e. that are invariant under composition of the variable with any measure-preserving bijection of [0, 1]. Its spectrum is identified with the collection of scalar sequences such that is bounded and turns to be separable. All this follows from our main result that the subalgebra of symmetric polynomials on L∞ has a natural algebraic basis.
