Jet isomorphism for conformal geometry

Robin C. Graham — 2007

Archivum Mathematicum

Jet isomorphism theorems for conformal geometry are discussed. A new proof of the jet isomorphism theorem for odd-dimensional conformal geometry is outlined, using an ambient realization of the conformal deformation complex. An infinite order ambient lift for conformal densities in the case in which harmonic extension is obstructed is described. A jet isomorphism theorem for even dimensional conformal geometry is formulated using the inhomogeneous ambient metrics recently introduced by the author...

Subtleties concerning conformal tractor bundles

C. GrahamTravis Willse — 2012

Open Mathematics

The realization of tractor bundles as associated bundles in conformal geometry is studied. It is shown that different natural choices of principal bundle with normal Cartan connection corresponding to a given conformal manifold can give rise to topologically distinct associated tractor bundles for the same inducing representation. Consequences for homogeneous models and conformal holonomy are described. A careful presentation is made of background material concerning standard tractor bundles and...

Existence of large ε-Kronecker and FZI₀(U) sets in discrete abelian groups

Colin C. GrahamKathryn E. Hare — 2012

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let G be a compact abelian group with dual group Γ and let ε > 0. A set E ⊂ Γ is a “weak ε-Kronecker set” if for every φ:E → there exists x in the dual of Γ such that |φ(γ)- γ(x)| ≤ ε for all γ ∈ E. When ε < √2, every bounded function on E is known to be the restriction of a Fourier-Stieltjes transform of a discrete measure. (Such sets are called I₀.) We show that for every infinite set E there exists a weak 1-Kronecker subset F, of the same cardinality as E, provided there are not “too many”...

Characterizing Sidon sets by interpolation properties of subsets

Colin C. GrahamKathryn E. Hare — 2008

Colloquium Mathematicae

Pisier's characterization of Sidon sets as containing proportional-sized quasi-independent subsets is given a sharper form for groups with only a finite number of elements having orders a power of 2. No such improvement is possible for a general Sidon subset of a group having an infinite number of elements of order 2. The method used also gives several sharper forms of Ramsey's characterization of Sidon sets as containing proportional-sized I₀-subsets in a uniform way, again in groups containing...

ε-Kronecker and I₀ sets in abelian groups, III: interpolation by measures on small sets

Colin C. GrahamKathryn E. Hare — 2005

Studia Mathematica

Let U be an open subset of a locally compact abelian group G and let E be a subset of its dual group Γ. We say E is I₀(U) if every bounded sequence indexed by E can be interpolated by the Fourier transform of a discrete measure supported on U. We show that if E·Δ is I₀ for all finite subsets Δ of a torsion-free Γ, then for each open U ⊂ G there exists a finite set F ⊂ E such that E∖F is I₀(U). When G is connected, F can be taken to be empty. We obtain a much stronger form of that for Hadamard sets...

ε-Kronecker and I₀ sets in abelian groups, IV: interpolation by non-negative measures

Colin C. GrahamKathryn E. Hare — 2006

Studia Mathematica

A subset E of a discrete abelian group is a "Fatou-Zygmund interpolation set" (FZI₀ set) if every bounded Hermitian function on E is the restriction of the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of a discrete, non-negative measure. We show that every infinite subset of a discrete abelian group contains an FZI₀ set of the same cardinality (if the group is torsion free, a stronger interpolation property holds) and that ε-Kronecker sets are FZI₀ (with that stronger interpolation property). ...
