Strong spectral gaps for compact quotients of products of $PSL (2, ℝ)$ )

Dubi Kelmer, Peter Sarnak (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The existence of a strong spectral gap for quotients $Γ ∖ G$ of noncompact connected semisimple Lie groups is crucial in many applications. For congruence lattices there are uniform and very good bounds for the spectral gap coming from the known bounds towards the Ramanujan–Selberg conjectures. If $G$ has no compact factors then for general lattices a spectral gap can still be established, but there is no uniformity and no effective bounds are known. This note is concerned with the spectral...

Spectral synthesis and operator synthesis

K. Parthasarathy, R. Prakash (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Relations between spectral synthesis in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a compact group G and the concept of operator synthesis due to Arveson have been studied in the literature. For an A(G)-submodule X of VN(G), X-synthesis in A(G) has been introduced by E. Kaniuth and A. Lau and studied recently by the present authors. To any such X we associate a $V^{\infty} (G)$ -submodule X̂ of ℬ(L²(G)) (where $V^{\infty} (G)$ is the weak-* Haagerup tensor product $L^{\infty} (G) \otimes_{w * h} L^{\infty} (G)$ ), define the concept of X̂-operator synthesis and prove that a...

Spectral projections for the twisted Laplacian

Herbert Koch, Fulvio Ricci (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let n ≥ 1, d = 2n, and let (x,y) ∈ ℝⁿ × ℝⁿ be a generic point in ℝ²ⁿ. The twisted Laplacian $L = - 1 / 2 \sum_{j = 1}^{n} [(\partial_{x_{j}} + i y_{j}) ² + (\partial_{y_{j}} - i x_{j}) ²]$ has the spectrum n + 2k = λ²: k a nonnegative integer. Let $P_{λ}$ be the spectral projection onto the (infinite-dimensional) eigenspace. We find the optimal exponent ϱ(p) in the estimate $| | P_{λ} {u | |}_{L^{p} (ℝ^{d})} ≲ λ^{ϱ (p)} {| | u | |}_{L ² (ℝ^{d})}$ for all p ∈ [2,∞], improving previous partial results by Ratnakumar, Rawat and Thangavelu, and by Stempak and Zienkiewicz. The expression for ϱ(p) is ϱ(p) = 1/p -1/2 if 2 ≤ p ≤ 2(d+1)/(d-1), ϱ(p) = (d-2)/2 - d/p...

A spectral gap theorem in SU $(d)$

Jean Bourgain, Alex Gamburd (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We establish the spectral gap property for dense subgroups of SU $(d)$ $(d \geq 2)$ , generated by finitely many elements with algebraic entries; this result was announced in [BG3]. The method of proof differs, in several crucial aspects, from that used in [BG] in the case of SU $(2)$ .

Transferring $L^{p}$ eigenfunction bounds from $S^{2 n + 1}$ to hⁿ

Valentina Casarino, Paolo Ciatti (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

By using the notion of contraction of Lie groups, we transfer $L^{p} - L ²$ estimates for joint spectral projectors from the unit complex sphere $S^{2 n + 1}$ in $ℂ^{n + 1}$ to the reduced Heisenberg group hⁿ. In particular, we deduce some estimates recently obtained by H. Koch and F. Ricci on hⁿ. As a consequence, we prove, in the spirit of Sogge’s work, a discrete restriction theorem for the sub-Laplacian L on hⁿ.

Upper bounds for the number of resonances on geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds

David Borthwick, Colin Guillarmou (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

On geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds $Γ ∖ ℍ^{d}$ , including those with non-maximal rank cusps, we give upper bounds on the number $N (R)$ of resonances of the Laplacian in disks of size $R$ as $R \to \infty$ . In particular, if the parabolic subgroups of $Γ$ satisfy a certain Diophantine condition, the bound is $N (R) = 𝒪 (R^{d} {(\log R)}^{d + 1})$ .

Spectral radius of operators associated with dynamical systems in the spaces C(X)

Krzysztof Zajkowski (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We consider operators acting in the space C(X) (X is a compact topological space) of the form $A u (x) = (\sum_{k = 1}^{N} e^{φ_{k}} T_{α_{k}}) u (x) = \sum_{k = 1}^{N} e^{φ_{k} (x)} u (α_{k} (x))$ , u ∈ C(X), where $φ_{k} \in C (X)$ and $α_{k} : X \to X$ are given continuous mappings (1 ≤ k ≤ N). A new formula on the logarithm of the spectral radius r(A) is obtained. The logarithm of r(A) is defined as a nonlinear functional λ depending on the vector of functions $φ = {(φ_{k})}_{k = 1}^{N}$ . We prove that $l n (r (A)) = λ (φ) = m a x_{ν \in M e s} \sum_{k = 1}^{N} \int_{X} φ_{k} d ν_{k} - λ * (ν)$ , where Mes is the set of all probability vectors of measures $ν = {(ν_{k})}_{k = 1}^{N}$ on X × 1,..., N and λ* is some convex lower-semicontinuous functional on...

A.e. convergence of anisotropic partial Fourier integrals on Euclidean spaces and Heisenberg groups

D. Müller, E. Prestini (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define partial spectral integrals $S_{R}$ on the Heisenberg group by means of localizations to isotropic or anisotropic dilates of suitable star-shaped subsets V containing the joint spectrum of the partial sub-Laplacians and the central derivative. Under the assumption that an L²-function f lies in the logarithmic Sobolev space given by $l o g (2 + L_{α}) f \in L ²$ , where $L_{α}$ is a suitable “generalized” sub-Laplacian associated to the dilation structure, we show that $S_{R} f (x)$ converges a.e. to f(x) as R → ∞.

Limits of relatively hyperbolic groups and Lyndon’s completions

Olga Kharlampovich, Alexei Myasnikov (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We describe finitely generated groups $H$ universally equivalent (with constants from $G$ in the language) to a given torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group $G$ with free abelian parabolics. It turns out that, as in the free group case, the group $H$ embeds into the Lyndon’s completion $G^{ℤ [t]}$ of the group $G$ , or, equivalently, $H$ embeds into a group obtained from $G$ by finitely many extensions of centralizers. Conversely, every subgroup of $G^{ℤ [t]}$ containing $G$ is universally equivalent to $G$ . Since finitely...

We prove the central limit theorem for the multisequence $\sum_{1 \leq n ₁ \leq N ₁} \dots \sum_{1 \leq n_{d} \leq N_{d}} a_{n ₁, . . ., n_{d}} c o s (⟨ 2 π m, A ₁^{n ₁} . . . A_{d}^{n_{d}} x ⟩)$ where $m \in ℤ^{s}$ , $a_{n ₁, . . ., n_{d}}$ are reals, $A ₁, . . ., A_{d}$ are partially hyperbolic commuting s × s matrices, and x is a uniformly distributed random variable in ${[0, 1]}^{s}$ . The main tool is the S-unit theorem.

On the structural theory of ${II}_{1}$ factors of negatively curved groups

Ionut Chifan, Thomas Sinclair (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Ozawa showed in [21] that for any i.c.c. hyperbolic group, the associated group factor $L Γ$ is solid. Developing a new approach that combines some methods of Peterson [29], Ozawa and Popa [27, 28], and Ozawa [25], we strengthen this result by showing that $L Γ$ is strongly solid. Using our methods in cooperation with a cocycle superrigidity result of Ioana [12], we show that profinite actions of lattices in $Sp (n, 1)$ , $n \geq 2$ , are virtually $W^{*}$ -superrigid.

Hyperideal polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space

Xiliang Bao, Francis Bonahon (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

A hyperideal polyhedron is a non-compact polyhedron in the hyperbolic $3$ -space $ℍ^{3}$ which, in the projective model for $ℍ^{3} \subset {ℝℙ}^{3}$ , is just the intersection of $ℍ^{3}$ with a projective polyhedron whose vertices are all outside $ℍ^{3}$ and whose edges all meet $ℍ^{3}$ . We classify hyperideal polyhedra, up to isometries of $ℍ^{3}$ , in terms of their combinatorial type and of their dihedral angles.

The existence of Carathéodory solutions of hyperbolic functional differential equations

Adrian Karpowicz (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

We consider the following Darboux problem for the functional differential equation $\partial ² u / \partial x \partial y (x, y) = f (x, y, u_{(x, y)}, \partial u / \partial x (x, y), \partial u / \partial y (x, y))$ a.e. in [0,a]×[0,b], u(x,y) = ψ(x,y) on [-a₀,a]×[-b₀,b] $0, a] \times (0, b],$ where the function $u_{(x, y)} : [- a ₀, 0] \times [- b ₀, 0] \to ℝ^{k}$ is defined by $u_{(x, y)} (s, t) = u (s + x, t + y)$ for (s,t) ∈ [-a₀,0]×[-b₀,0]. We prove a theorem on existence of the Carathéodory solutions of the above problem.

A spectral bound for graph irregularity

Felix Goldberg (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The imbalance of an edge $e = {u, v}$ in a graph is defined as $i (e) = | d (u) - d (v) |$ , where $d (\cdot)$ is the vertex degree. The irregularity $I (G)$ of $G$ is then defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$ . This concept was introduced by Albertson who proved that $I (G) \leq 4 n^{3} / 27$ (where $n = | V (G) |$ ) and obtained stronger bounds for bipartite and triangle-free graphs. Since then a number of additional bounds were given by various authors. In this paper we prove a new upper bound, which improves a bound found by Zhou and Luo in 2008. Our bound involves...

The Salvetti complex and the little cubes

Dai Tamaki (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For a real central arrangement $𝒜$ , Salvetti introduced a construction of a finite complex Sal $(𝒜)$ which is homotopy equivalent to the complement of the complexified arrangement in [Sal87]. For the braid arrangement $𝒜_{k - 1}$ , the Salvetti complex Sal $(𝒜_{k - 1})$ serves as a good combinatorial model for the homotopy type of the configuration space $F (ℂ, k)$ of $k$ points in $C$ , which is homotopy equivalent to the space $C_{2} (k)$ of k little $2$ -cubes. Motivated by the importance of little cubes in homotopy theory, especially in...

Matrix coefficients, counting and primes for orbits of geometrically finite groups

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $G : = SO {(n, 1)}^{\circ}$ and $Γ (n - 1) / 2$ for $n = 2, 3$ and when $δ > n - 2$ for $n \geq 4$ , we obtain an effective archimedean counting result for a discrete orbit of $Γ$ in a homogeneous space $H ∖ G$ where $H$ is the trivial group, a symmetric subgroup or a horospherical subgroup. More precisely, we show that for any effectively well-rounded family ${ℬ_{T} \subset H ∖ G}$ of compact subsets, there exists $η > 0$ such that $# [e] Γ \cap ℬ_{T} = ℳ (ℬ_{T}) + O (ℳ {(ℬ_{T})}^{1 - η})$ for an explicit measure $ℳ$ on $H ∖ G$ which depends on $Γ$ . We also apply the affine sieve and describe the distribution of almost primes on orbits of $Γ$ in arithmetic...

Integral equalities for functions of unbounded spectral operators in Banach spaces

Benedetto Silvestri

Similarity:

The work is dedicated to investigating a limiting procedure for extending “local” integral operator equalities to “global” ones in the sense explained below, and to applying it to obtaining generalizations of the Newton-Leibniz formula for operator-valued functions for a wide class of unbounded operators. The integral equalities considered have the form $g (R_{F}) \int f_{x} (R_{F}) d μ (x) = h (R_{F})$ . (1) They involve functions of the kind $X ∋ x \mapsto f_{x} (R_{F}) \in B (F)$ , where X is a general locally compact space, F runs over a suitable class of Banach subspaces...

Spectral radius of weighted composition operators in $L^{p}$ -spaces

Krzysztof Zajkowski (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We prove that for the spectral radius of a weighted composition operator $a T_{α}$ , acting in the space $L^{p} (X,, μ)$ , the following variational principle holds: $l n r (a T_{α}) = m a x_{ν \in M ¹_{α, e}} \int_{X} l n | a | d ν$ , where X is a Hausdorff compact space, α: X → X is a continuous mapping preserving a Borel measure μ with suppμ = X, $M ¹_{α, e}$ is the set of all α-invariant ergodic probability measures on X, and a: X → ℝ is a continuous and $_{\infty}$ -measurable function, where $_{\infty} = ⋂_{n = 0}^{\infty} α^{- n} ()$ . This considerably extends the range of validity of the above formula, which was previously known...

On the perturbation functions and similarity orbits

Haïkel Skhiri (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that the essential spectral radius $ϱ_{e} (T)$ of T ∈ B(H) can be calculated by the formula $ϱ_{e} (T)$ = inf $ℱ_{♯ \cdot ♯} (X T X^{- 1})$ : X an invertible operator, where $ℱ_{♯ \cdot ♯} (T)$ is a Φ₁-perturbation function introduced by Mbekhta [J. Operator Theory 51 (2004)]. Also, we show that if $_{♯ \cdot ♯} (T)$ is a Φ₂-perturbation function [loc. cit.] and if T is a Fredholm operator, then $d i s t (0, σ_{e} (T))$ = sup $_{♯ \cdot ♯} (X T X^{- 1})$ : X an invertible operator.

Effective bounds for Faltings’s delta function

Jay Jorgenson, Jürg Kramer (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In his seminal paper on arithmetic surfaces Faltings introduced a new invariant associated to compact Riemann surfaces $X$ , nowadays called Faltings’s delta function and here denoted by $δ_{Fal} (X)$ . For a given compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g_{X} = g$ , the invariant $δ_{Fal} (X)$ is roughly given as minus the logarithm of the distance with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric of the point in the moduli space $ℳ_{g}$ of genus $g$ curves determined by $X$ to its boundary $\partial ℳ_{g}$ . In this paper we begin by revisiting a formula derived...

Sharp bounds for the intersection of nodal lines with certain curves

Junehyuk Jung (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $Y$ be a hyperbolic surface and let $φ$ be a Laplacian eigenfunction having eigenvalue $- 1 / 4 - τ^{2}$ with $τ > 0$ . Let $N (φ)$ be the set of nodal lines of $φ$ . For a fixed analytic curve $γ$ of finite length, we study the number of intersections between $N (φ)$ and $γ$ in terms of $τ$ . When $Y$ is compact and $γ$ a geodesic circle, or when $Y$ has finite volume and $γ$ is a closed horocycle, we prove that $γ$ is “good” in the sense of [TZ]. As a result, we obtain that the number of intersections between $N (φ)$ and $γ$ is $O (τ)$ . This bound is...

$C^{1}$ self-maps on closed manifolds with finitely many periodic points all of them hyperbolic

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Let $X$ be a connected closed manifold and $f$ a self-map on $X$ . We say that $f$ is almost quasi-unipotent if every eigenvalue $λ$ of the map $f_{* k}$ (the induced map on the $k$ -th homology group of $X$ ) which is neither a root of unity, nor a zero, satisfies that the sum of the multiplicities of $λ$ as eigenvalue of all the maps $f_{* k}$ with $k$ odd is equal to the sum of the multiplicities of $λ$ as eigenvalue of all the maps $f_{* k}$ with $k$ even. We prove that if $f$ is $C^{1}$ having finitely many periodic points all of them...
