For the geometry of oriented $(2,3,5)$ distributions $(M,)$, which correspond to regular, normal parabolic geometries of type $(G_2,P)$ for a particular parabolic subgroup $P<G_2$, we develop the corresponding tractor calculus and use it to analyze the first BGG operator ${\Theta }_0$ associated to the $7$-dimensional irreducible representation of $G_2$. We give an explicit formula for the normal connection on the corresponding tractor bundle and use it to derive explicit expressions for this operator. We also show that solutions...

The relative cohomology ${\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{diff}}^1(𝕂\left(1\right|3),\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3);{𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right))$ of the contact Lie superalgebra $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ with coefficients in the space of differential operators ${𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right)$ acting on tensor densities on $S^{1|3}$, is calculated in N. Ben Fraj, I. Laraied, S. Omri (2013) and the generating $1$-cocycles are expressed in terms of the infinitesimal super-Schwarzian derivative $1$-cocycle $s\left(X_f\right)=D_1{D}_2{D}_3\left(f\right){\alpha }_3^{1/2}$, $X_f\in 𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ which is invariant with respect to the conformal subsuperalgebra $\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3)$ of $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$. In this work we study the supergroup case. We give an explicit construction of $1$-cocycles...

Let $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n,n\ge 3$, and let $p,1<p<\infty ,p\ne 2$, be given. In this paper we study the dimension of $p$-harmonic measures that arise from non-negative solutions to the $p$-Laplace equation, vanishing on a portion of $\partial \Omega$, in the setting of $\delta$-Reifenberg flat domains. We prove, for $p\ge n$, that there exists $\tilde{\delta }=\tilde{\delta }(p,n)>0$ small such that if $\Omega$ is a $\delta$-Reifenberg flat domain with $\delta <\tilde{\delta }$, then $p$-harmonic measure is concentrated on a set of $\sigma$-finite $H^{n-1}$-measure. We prove, for $p\ge n$, that for sufficiently flat Wolff snowflakes the Hausdorff dimension of $p$-harmonic...

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $P_g$ an elliptic, formally self-adjoint, conformally covariant operator of order $m$ acting on smooth sections of a bundle over $M$. We prove that if $P_g$ has no rigid eigenspaces (see Definition 2.2), the set of functions $f\in C^{\infty }(M,ℝ)$ for which $P_{e^{f}g}$ has only simple non-zero eigenvalues is a residual set in $C^{\infty }(M,ℝ)$. As a consequence we prove that if $P_g$ has no rigid eigenspaces for a dense set of metrics, then all non-zero eigenvalues are simple for a residual set of metrics...

Let $(M,\theta )$ be a compact CR manifold of dimension $2n+1$ with a contact form $\theta$, and $L=(2+2/n){\Delta }_b+R$ its associated CR conformal laplacien. The CR Yamabe conjecture states that there is a contact form $\tilde{\theta }$ on $M$ conformal to $\theta$ which has a constant Webster curvature. This problem is equivalent to the existence of a function $u$ such that $Lu=u^{1+2/n}$, $u>0$ on $M$. D. Jerison and J. M. Lee solved the CR Yamabe problem in the case where $n\ge 2$ and $(M,\theta )$ is not locally CR equivalent to the sphere $S^{2n+1}$ of ${𝐂}^n$. In a join work with R. Yacoub, the CR Yamabe...

We give new characterizations of the analytic Besov spaces $B_p$ on the unit ball $𝔹$ of ${ℂ}^n$ in terms of oscillations and integral means over some Euclidian balls contained in $𝔹$.

Given d ≥ 2 consider the family of polynomials $P_c\left(z\right)=z^d+c$ for c ∈ ℂ. Denote by $J_c$ the Julia set of $P_c$ and let ${ℳ}_d=c|J_{c}isconnected$ be the connectedness locus; for d = 2 it is called the Mandelbrot set. We study semihyperbolic parameters $c₀\in \partial {ℳ}_d$: those for which the critical point 0 is not recurrent by $P_{c₀}$ and without parabolic cycles. The Hausdorff dimension of $J_c$, denoted by $HD\left(J_c\right)$, does not depend continuously on c at such $c₀\in \partial {ℳ}_d$; on the other hand the function $c\mapsto HD\left(J_c\right)$ is analytic in $ℂ-{ℳ}_d$. Our first result asserts that there is still some...

In this paper we study some potential theoretical properties of solutions and super-solutions of some PDE systems (S) of type $L_{1}u=-{\mu }_{1}v$, $L_{2}v=-{\mu }_{2}u$, on a domain $D$ of ${ℝ}^d$, where ${\mu }_1$ and ${\mu }_2$ are suitable measures on $D$, and $L_1$, $L_2$ are two second order linear differential elliptic operators on $D$ with coefficients of class ${𝒞}^{\infty }$. We also obtain the integral representation of the nonnegative solutions and supersolutions of the system (S) by means of the Green kernels and Martin boundaries associated with $L_1$ and $L_2$, and...

The harmonic Cesàro operator is defined for a function f in $L^p\left(ℝ\right)$ for some 1 ≤ p < ∞ by setting $\left(f\right)\left(x\right):={\int }_x^{\infty }(f\left(u\right)/u)du$ for x > 0 and $\left(f\right)\left(x\right):=-{\int }_{-\infty }^x(f\left(u\right)/u)du$ for x < 0; the harmonic Copson operator ℂ* is defined for a function f in $L{¹}_{loc}\left(ℝ\right)$ by setting $*\left(f\right)\left(x\right):=(1/x){\int }^{x₀}f\left(u\right)du$ for x ≠ 0. The notation indicates that ℂ and ℂ* are adjoint operators in a certain sense. We present rigorous proofs of the following two commuting relations: (i) If $f\in L^p\left(ℝ\right)$ for some 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, then ${\left(\left(f\right)\right)}^{\wedge }\left(t\right)=*\left(f̂\right)\left(t\right)$ a.e., where f̂ denotes the Fourier transform of f. (ii) If $f\in L^p\left(ℝ\right)$ for some 1 < p ≤ 2, then...

Let $(X,d,\mu )$ be a metric measure space satisfying the doubling condition and an $L^2$-Poincaré inequality. Consider the nonnegative operator $ℒ$ generalized by a Dirichlet form on $X$. We will show that a solution $u$ to $(-{\partial }_t^2+ℒ)u=0$ on $X\times {ℝ}_{+}$ satisfies an $\alpha$-Carleson condition if and only if $u$ can be represented as the Poisson integral of the operator $ℒ$ with the trace in the generalized Morrey space $L^{2,\alpha }\left(X\right)$, where $\alpha$ is a nonnegative function defined on a class of balls in $X$. This result extends the analogous characterization...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

For an integer $k\ge 2$, let ${\left(n\right)}_n$ be the $k-$generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is given by the linear recurrence $n=2n-1+n-2+\cdots +n-k$. In this paper, we find all $k$-generalized Pell numbers with only one distinct digit (the so-called repdigits). Some interesting estimations involving generalized Pell numbers, that we believe are of independent interest, are also deduced. This paper continues a previous work that searched for repdigits in the usual Pell sequence ${\left(P_n^{\left(2\right)}\right)}_n$. ...
