A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a) a principal left ideal in to be equal to the direct product of the corresponding principal left ideals , b) an -class to be equal to the direct product of the corresponding -classes .
L’espace des configurations de points distincts de admet une filtration naturelle qui est induite par les inclusions des dans . Nous caractérisons le type d’homotopie de cette filtration par les propriétés combinatoires d’une structure cellulaire sous-jacente, étroitement liée à la théorie des -opérades de May. Cela donne une approche unifiée des différents modèles combinatoires d’espaces de lacets itérés et redémontre les théorèmes d’approximation de Milgram, Smith et Kashiwabara.
On considère un immeuble de type ou , différents sous-ensembles de l’ensemble des sommets de et différents groupes d’automorphismes de , très fortement transitifs sur . On montre que l’algèbre des opérateurs -invariants agissant sur l’espace des fonctions sur est souvent non commutative (contrairement aux résultats classiques). Dans certains cas on décrit sa structure et on détermine ses fonctions radiales propres. On en déduit que la conjecture d’Helgason n’est pas toujours vérifiée...
We explore the interior geometry of the CAT(0) spaces , constructed by Croke and Kleiner [Topology 39 (2000)]. In particular, we describe a diffraction effect experienced by the family of geodesic rays that emanate from a basepoint and pass through a certain singular point called a triple point, and we describe the shadow this family casts on the boundary. This diffraction effect is codified in the Transformation Rules stated in Section 3 of this paper. The Transformation Rules have various applications....
A connection between representation of compact groups and some invariant ensembles of hermitian matrices is described. We focus on two types of invariant ensembles which extend the gaussian and the Laguerre Unitary ensembles. We study them using projections and convolutions of invariant probability measures on adjoint orbits of a compact Lie group. These measures are described by semiclassical approximation involving tensor and restriction multiplicities. We show that a large class of them are determinantal....
We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact -irreducible manifolds with positive first Betti number. For seven of the eight geometries (excluding hyperbolic) we are able to characterize which manifolds’ groups support a left-invariant or bi-invariant ordering. We also show that manifolds modelled on these geometries have virtually bi-orderable groups. The question of virtual orderability...
