The Penrose transform and Clifford analysis

Bureš, J., Souček, V. (1991)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]The Penrose transform is always based on a diagram of homogeneous spaces. Here the case corresponding to the orthogonal group S O ( 2 n , C ) is studied by means of Clifford analysis [see F. Brackx, R. Delanghe and F. Sommen: Clifford analysis (1982; Zbl 0529.30001)], and is presented a simple approach using the Dolbeault realization of the corresponding cohomology groups and a simple calculus with differential forms (the Cauchy integral formula for solutions of...

The positive mass theorem for ALE manifolds

Mattias Dahl (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We show what extra condition is necessary to be able to use the positive mass argument of Witten [12] on an asymptotically locally euclidean manifold. Specifically we show that the 'generalized positive action conjecture' holds if one assumes that the signature of the manifold has the correct value.

The proof of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture

Nils Dencker (2003)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We prove the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture : that for principal type pseudo-differential operators local solvability is equivalent to condition ( Ψ ). This condition rules out certain sign changes of the imaginary part of the principal symbol along the bicharacteristics of the real part. We obtain local solvability by proving a localizable estimate for the adjoint operator with a loss of two derivatives (compared with the elliptic case). The proof involves a new metric in the Weyl (or Beals-Fefferman)...

The Quantum Birkhoff Normal Form and Spectral Asymptotics

San Vũ Ngọc (2006)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

In this talk we explain a simple treatment of the quantum Birkhoff normal form for semiclassical pseudo-differential operators with smooth coefficients. The normal form is applied to describe the discrete spectrum in a generalised non-degenerate potential well, yielding uniform estimates in the energy E . This permits a detailed study of the spectrum in various asymptotic regions of the parameters ( E , ) , and gives improvements and new proofs for many of the results in the field. In the completely resonant...

The radiation field is a Fourier integral operator

Antônio Sá Barreto, Jared Wunsch (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that the ``radiation field'' introduced by F.G. Friedlander, mapping Cauchy data for the wave equation to the rescaled asymptotic behavior of the wave, is a Fourier integral operator on any non-trapping asymptotically hyperbolic or asymptotically conic manifold. The underlying canonical relation is associated to a ``sojourn time'' or ``Busemann function'' for geodesics. As a consequence we obtain some information about the high frequency behavior of the scattering...

The rectifiable distance in the unitary Fredholm group

Esteban Andruchow, Gabriel Larotonda (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Let U c ( ) = u: u unitary and u-1 compact stand for the unitary Fredholm group. We prove the following convexity result. Denote by d the rectifiable distance induced by the Finsler metric given by the operator norm in U c ( ) . If u , u , u U c ( ) and the geodesic β joining u₀ and u₁ in U c ( ) satisfy d ( u , β ) < π / 2 , then the map f ( s ) = d ( u , β ( s ) ) is convex for s ∈ [0,1]. In particular, the convexity radius of the geodesic balls in U c ( ) is π/4. The same convexity property holds in the p-Schatten unitary groups U p ( ) = u: u unitary and u-1 in the p-Schatten class...

The rectifying developable and the spherical Darboux image of a space curve

Shyuichi Izumiya, Haruyo Katsumi, Takako Yamasaki (1999)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we study singularities of certain surfaces and curves associated with the family of rectifying planes along space curves. We establish the relationships between singularities of these subjects and geometric invariants of curves which are deeply related to the order of contact with helices.
