The aim of these pages is to give the reader an idea about the first part of the mathematical life of José Luis Rubio de Francia.
The work of José Luis Rubio de Francia (II).
I am going to discuss the work José Luis Rubio did on weighted norm inequalities. Most of it is in the book we wrote together on the subject [12].
The work of José Luis Rubio de Francia (III).
The aim of this paper is to review a set of articles ([6], [10], [11], [13], [16], [25]) of which José Luis Rubio de Francia was author and co-author written between 1985 and 1987.
The work of José Luis Rubio de Francia (IV).
José Luis and I first met at the famous - and hugely enjoyable 1983 El Escorial conference of which he and Ireneo Peral were the chief organisers, but we did not really discuss mathematics together until the spring and summer of 1985. There is an old question - formally posed by Stein in the proceedings of the 1978 Williamstown conference [St] - concerning the disc multiplier and the Bochner-Riesz means.
The works of Charles Ehresmann on connections: from Cartan connections to connections on fibre bundles
Around 1923, Élie Cartan introduced affine connections on manifolds and defined the main related concepts: torsion, curvature, holonomy groups. He discussed applications of these concepts in Classical and Relativistic Mechanics; in particular he explained how parallel transport with respect to a connection can be related to the principle of inertia in Galilean Mechanics and, more generally, can be used to model the motion of a particle in a gravitational field. In subsequent papers, Élie Cartan...
The XVI-th Hilbert problem about limit cycles
1. Introduction. The XVI-th Hilbert problem consists of two parts. The first part concerns the real algebraic geometry and asks about the topological properties of real algebraic curves and surfaces. The second part deals with polynomial planar vector fields and asks for the number and position of limit cycles. The progress in the solution of the first part of the problem is significant. The classification of algebraic curves in the projective plane was solved for degrees less than 8. Among general...
