The order of algebras with nontrivial fixed point subalgebras.
[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 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...
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.
We prove the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture : that for principal type pseudo-differential operators local solvability is equivalent to condition (). 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)...
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 . This permits a detailed study of the spectrum in various asymptotic regions of the parameters , and gives improvements and new proofs for many of the results in the field. In the completely resonant...
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...
Let = u: u unitary and u-1 compact stand for the unitary Fredholm group. We prove the following convexity result. Denote by the rectifiable distance induced by the Finsler metric given by the operator norm in . If and the geodesic β joining u₀ and u₁ in satisfy , then the map is convex for s ∈ [0,1]. In particular, the convexity radius of the geodesic balls in is π/4. The same convexity property holds in the p-Schatten unitary groups = u: u unitary and u-1 in the p-Schatten class...
