The Lusin Theorem and Horizontal Graphs in the Heisenberg Group

Piotr Hajłasz, Jacob Mirra (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

In this paper we prove that every collection of measurable functions fα , |α| = m, coincides a.e. withmth order derivatives of a function g ∈ Cm−1 whose derivatives of order m − 1 may have any modulus of continuity weaker than that of a Lipschitz function. This is a stronger version of earlier results of Lusin, Moonens-Pfeffer and Francos. As an application we construct surfaces in the Heisenberg group with tangent spaces being horizontal a.e.

A Formula for Popp’s Volume in Sub-Riemannian Geometry

Davide Barilari, Luca Rizzi (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

For an equiregular sub-Riemannian manifold M, Popp’s volume is a smooth volume which is canonically associated with the sub-Riemannian structure, and it is a natural generalization of the Riemannian one. In this paper we prove a general formula for Popp’s volume, written in terms of a frame adapted to the sub-Riemannian distribution. As a first application of this result, we prove an explicit formula for the canonical sub- Laplacian, namely the one associated with Popp’s volume. Finally,...

Uniform Gaussian Bounds for Subelliptic Heat Kernels and an Application to the Total Variation Flow of Graphs over Carnot Groups

Luca Capogna, Giovanna Citti, Maria Manfredini (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

In this paper we study heat kernels associated with a Carnot group G, endowed with a family of collapsing left-invariant Riemannian metrics σε which converge in the Gromov- Hausdorff sense to a sub-Riemannian structure on G as ε→ 0. The main new contribution are Gaussian-type bounds on the heat kernel for the σε metrics which are stable as ε→0 and extend the previous time-independent estimates in [16]. As an application we study well posedness of the total variation flow of graph surfaces...

On Asymmetric Distances

Andrea C.G. Mennucci (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

In this paper we discuss asymmetric length structures and asymmetric metric spaces. A length structure induces a (semi)distance function; by using the total variation formula, a (semi)distance function induces a length. In the first part we identify a topology in the set of paths that best describes when the above operations are idempotent. As a typical application, we consider the length of paths defined by a Finslerian functional in Calculus of Variations. In the second part we generalize...

Compactness of Special Functions of Bounded Higher Variation

Luigi Ambrosio, Francesco Ghiraldin (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

Given an open set Ω ⊂ Rm and n > 1, we introduce the new spaces GBnV(Ω) of Generalized functions of bounded higher variation and GSBnV(Ω) of Generalized special functions of bounded higher variation that generalize, respectively, the space BnV introduced by Jerrard and Soner in [43] and the corresponding SBnV space studied by De Lellis in [24]. In this class of spaces, which allow as in [43] the description of singularities of codimension n, the distributional jacobian Ju need not...

A Non-Probabilistic Proof of the Assouad Embedding Theorem with Bounds on the Dimension

Guy David, Marie Snipes (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Similarity:

We give a non-probabilistic proof of a theorem of Naor and Neiman that asserts that if (E, d) is a doubling metric space, there is an integer N > 0, depending only on the metric doubling constant, such that for each exponent α ∈ (1/2; 1), one can find a bilipschitz mapping F = (E; dα ) ⃗ ℝ RN.

Mathematical modeling of semiconductor quantum dots based on the nonparabolic effective-mass approximation

Jinn-Liang Liu (2012)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

Similarity:

Within the effective mass and nonparabolic band theory, a general framework of mathematical models and numerical methods is developed for theoretical studies of semiconductor quantum dots. It includes single-electron models and many-electron models of Hartree-Fock, configuration interaction, and current-spin density functional theory approaches. These models result in nonlinear eigenvalue problems from a suitable discretization. Cubic and quintic Jacobi-Davidson methods of block or nonblock...

A Riemann-Hilbert problem with a vanishing coefficient and applications to Toeplitz operators

A. Perälä, J. A. Virtanen, L. Wolf (2013)

Concrete Operators

Similarity:

We study the homogeneous Riemann-Hilbert problem with a vanishing scalar-valued continuous coefficient. We characterize non-existence of nontrivial solutions in the case where the coefficient has its values along several rays starting from the origin. As a consequence, some results on injectivity and existence of eigenvalues of Toeplitz operators in Hardy spaces are obtained.

Group reflection and precompact paratopological groups

Mikhail Tkachenko (2013)

Topological Algebra and its Applications

Similarity:

We construct a precompact completely regular paratopological Abelian group G of size (2ω)+ such that all subsets of G of cardinality ≤ 2ω are closed. This shows that Protasov’s theorem on non-closed discrete subsets of precompact topological groups cannot be extended to paratopological groups. We also prove that the group reflection of the product of an arbitrary family of paratopological (even semitopological) groups is topologically isomorphic to the product of the group reflections...

Dependence of Stock Returns in Bull and Bear Markets

Jadran Dobric, Gabriel Frahm, Friedrich Schmid (2013)

Dependence Modeling

Similarity:

Despite of its many shortcomings, Pearson’s rho is often used as an association measure for stock returns. A conditional version of Spearman’s rho is suggested as an alternative measure of association. This approach is purely nonparametric and avoids any kind of model misspecification. We derive hypothesis tests for the conditional rank-correlation coefficients particularly arising in bull and bear markets and study their finite-sample performance by Monte Carlo simulation. Further,...

On the derivation and mathematical analysis of some quantum–mechanical models accounting for Fokker–Planck type dissipation: Phase space, Schrödinger and hydrodynamic descriptions

José Luis López, Jesús Montejo–Gámez (2013)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

Similarity:

This paper is intended to provide the reader with a review of the authors’ latest results dealing with the modeling of quantum dissipation/diffusion effects at the level of Schrödinger systems, in connection with the corresponding phase space and fluid formulations of such kind of phenomena, especially in what concerns the role of the Fokker–Planck mechanism in the description of open quantum systems and the macroscopic dynamics associated with some viscous hydrodynamic models of Euler...
