Pontryagin algebra of a transitive Lie algebroid

Kubarski, Jan (1990)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] It was previously known that for every principal fibre bundle P there is some corresponding transitive Lie algebroid A(P) - a vector bundle equipped with some structure like the structure of a Lie algebra in the module of sections. The author of this article shows that the Chern-Weil homomorphism of P is a notion of the Lie algebroid of P, i.e. knowing only A(P) of P one can uniquely reproduce the ring of invariant polynomials ( V g * ) I and the Chern-Weil...

Porous media equation on locally finite graphs

Li Ma (2022)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper, we consider two typical problems on a locally finite connected graph. The first one is to study the Bochner formula for the Laplacian operator on a locally finite connected graph. The other one is to obtain global nontrivial nonnegative solution to porous-media equation via the use of Aronson-Benilan argument. We use the curvature dimension condition to give a characterization two point graph. We also give a porous-media equation criterion about stochastic completeness of the graph....

Prékopa–Leindler type inequalities on Riemannian manifolds, Jacobi fields, and optimal transport

Dario Cordero-Erausquin, Robert J. McCann, Michael Schmuckenschläger (2006)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We investigate Prékopa-Leindler type inequalities on a Riemannian manifold M equipped with a measure with density e - V where the potential V and the Ricci curvature satisfy Hess x V + Ric x λ I for all x M , with some λ . As in our earlier work [14], the argument uses optimal mass transport on M , but here, with a special emphasis on its connection with Jacobi fields. A key role will be played by the differential equation satisfied by the determinant of a matrix of Jacobi fields. We also present applications of the method...

Preparation theorems for matrix valued functions

Nils Dencker (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We generalize the Malgrange preparation theorem to matrix valued functions F ( t , x ) C ( R × R n ) satisfying the condition that t det F ( t , 0 ) vanishes to finite order at t = 0 . Then we can factor F ( t , x ) = C ( t , x ) P ( t , x ) near (0,0), where C ( t , x ) C is inversible and P ( t , x ) is polynomial function of t depending C on x . The preparation is (essentially) unique, up to functions vanishing to infinite order at x = 0 , if we impose some additional conditions on P ( t , x ) . We also have a generalization of the division theorem, and analytic versions generalizing the Weierstrass preparation...
