Some properties and applications of natural vector bundle morphisms $T_A\circ {⨂}_s^q\to {⨂}_s^q\circ T_A$ over $i{d}_{T_A}$ are presented.

Let m,n be positive integers such that m < n and let G(n,m) be the Grassmann manifold of all m-dimensional subspaces of ℝⁿ. For V ∈ G(n,m) let ${\pi }_V$ denote the orthogonal projection from ℝⁿ onto V. The following characterization of purely unrectifiable sets holds. Let A be an ${}^m$-measurable subset of ℝⁿ with ${}^m\left(A\right)<\infty$. Then A is purely m-unrectifiable if and only if there exists a null subset Z of the universal bundle $(V,v)\left|V\in G\right(n,m),v\in V$ such that, for all P ∈ A, one has ${}^{m(n-m)}\left(V\in G(n,m)\left|\right(V,{\pi }_V\left(P\right))\in Z\right)>0$. One can replace “for all P ∈ A” by “for...

Let m and r be natural numbers and let $P^r:ℳf_m\to ℱℳ$ be the rth order frame bundle functor. Let $F:ℳf_m\to ℱℳ$ and $G:ℳf_k\to ℱℳ$ be natural bundles, where $k=dim\left(P^r{ℝ}^m\right)$. We describe all $ℳf_m$-natural operators A transforming sections σ of $FM\to M$ and classical linear connections ∇ on M into sections A(σ,∇) of $G\left(P^{r}M\right)\to P^{r}M$. We apply this general classification result to many important natural bundles F and G and obtain many particular classifications.

We classify all $ℱ{ℳ}_{m,n}$-natural operators $:J²⟿J²V^A$ transforming second order connections Γ: Y → J²Y on a fibred manifold Y → M into second order connections $\left(\Gamma \right):V^{A}Y\to J²V^{A}Y$ on the vertical Weil bundle $V^{A}Y\to M$ corresponding to a Weil algebra A.

We first prove a strengthening of Miyaoka’s generic semi-positivity theorem: the quotients of the tensor powers of the cotangent bundle of a non-uniruled complex projective manifold $X$ have a pseudo-effective (instead of generically nef) determinant. A first consequence is that $X$ is of general type if its cotangent bundle contains a subsheaf with ‘big’ determinant. Among other applications, we deduce that if the universal cover of $X$ is not covered by compact positive-dimensional analytic...

We prove that the problem of finding all $ℳf_m$-natural operators $B:Q⟿Q{T}^A$ lifting classical linear connections ∇ on m-manifolds M to classical linear connections $B_M\left(\nabla \right)$ on the Weil bundle $T^{A}M$ corresponding to a p-dimensional (over ℝ) Weil algebra A is equivalent to the one of finding all $ℳf_m$-natural operators $C:Q⟿(T{¹}_{p-1},T*\otimes T*\otimes T)$ transforming classical linear connections ∇ on m-manifolds M into base-preserving fibred maps $C_M\left(\nabla \right):T{¹}_{p-1}M={⨁}_M^{p-1}TM\to T*M\otimes T*M\otimes TM$.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\&gt;0$. Given a semistable vector bundle $E$ over $X$, we show that its direct image $F_{*}E$ under the Frobenius map $F$ of $X$ is again semistable. We deduce a numerical characterization of the stable rank-$p$ vector bundles $F_{*}L$, where $L$ is a line bundle over $X$.

Let $J^{r}T*M$ be the r-jet prolongation of the cotangent bundle of an n-dimensional manifold M and let $(J^{r}T*M)*$ be the dual vector bundle. For natural numbers r and n, a complete classification of all linear natural operators lifting 1-forms from M to 1-forms on $(J^{r}T*M)*$ is given.

All natural operators A transforming a linear vector field X on a vector bundle E into a vector field A(X) on the r-jet prolongation $J^{r}E$ of E are given. Similar results are deduced for the r-jet prolongations $J_v^{r}E$ and $J^{\left[r\right]}E$ in place of $J^{r}E$.

We describe all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝Q{T}^{*}$ transforming projectable-projectable classical torsion-free linear connections $\nabla$ on fibred-fibred manifolds $Y$ into classical linear connections $D\left(\nabla \right)$ on cotangent bundles $T^{*}Y$ of $Y$. We show that this problem can be reduced to finding ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝(T^{*},{\otimes }^p{T}^{*}\otimes {\otimes }^{q}T)$ for $p=2$, $q=1$ and $p=3$, $q=0$.

We give a complete classification of right coideal subalgebras that contain all grouplike elements for the quantum group $U_q^{+}\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔬}}_{2n+1}\right)$ provided that $q$ is not a root of 1. If $q$ has a finite multiplicative order $t>4$; this classification remains valid for homogeneous right coideal subalgebras of the Frobenius–Lusztig kernel $u_q^{+}\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔬}}_{2n+1}\right)$. In particular, the total number of right coideal subalgebras that contain the coradical equals $\left(2n\right)!!$; the order of the Weyl group defined by the root system of type $B_n$.

We classify all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $A$ transforming projectable-projectable torsion-free classical linear connections $\nabla$ on fibered-fibered manifolds $Y$ of dimension $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$ into $r$th order Lagrangians $A\left(r\right)$ on the fibered-fibered linear frame bundle $L^{fib-fib}\left(Y\right)$ on $Y$. Moreover, we classify all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $B$ transforming projectable-projectable torsion-free classical linear connections r on fiberedfibered manifolds $Y$ of dimension $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$ into Euler morphism $B\left(\nabla \right)$ on $L^{fib-fib}\left(Y\right)$. These classifications can be expanded on...

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional manifold and $A={𝔻}_k^r/I=ℝ\oplus N_A$ a Weil algebra of height $r$. We prove that any $A$-covelocity $T_x^{A}f\in T_x^{A*}M$, $x\in M$ is determined by its values over arbitrary $max\{\mathrm{width}A,m\}$ regular and under the first jet projection linearly independent elements of $T_x^{A}M$. Further, we prove the rigidity of the so-called universally reparametrizable Weil algebras. Applying essentially those partial results we give the proof of the general rigidity result $T^{A*}M\simeq T^{r*}M$ without coordinate computations, which improves and generalizes the partial...

If $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold, we have the well-known base preserving   vector bundle isomorphism $TM\widetilde{=}{T}^{*}M$ given by $v\to g(v,-)$ between the tangent $TM$ and the cotangent $T^{*}M$ bundles of $M$. In the present note, we generalize this isomorphism to the one $T^{\left(r\right)}M\widetilde{=}{T}^{r*}M$ between the $r$-th order vector tangent $T^{\left(r\right)}M={\left(J^r{(M,R)}_0\right)}^{*}$ and the $r$-th order cotangent $T^{r*}M=J^r{(M,R)}_0$ bundles of $M$. Next, we describe all base preserving  vector bundle maps $C_M\left(g\right):T^{\left(r\right)}M\to T^{r*}M$ depending on a Riemannian metric $g$ in terms of natural (in $g$) tensor fields on $M$.

Let $E$ denote a holomorphic bundle with fiber $D$ and with basis $B$. Both $D$ and $B$ are assumed to be Stein. For $D$ a Reinhardt bounded domain of dimension $d=2$ or $3$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on $D$ for the existence of a non-Stein such $E$ (Theorem $1$); for $d=2$, we give necessary and sufficient criteria for $E$ to be Stein (Theorem $2$). For $D$ a Reinhardt bounded domain of any dimension not intersecting any coordinate hyperplane, we give a sufficient criterion for $E$ to be Stein (Theorem...

We present some results concerning the problem $-\Delta u=\lambda \frac{u}{{\left|x\right|}^2}+u^q$, $u>0$ in $\Omega$, ${u|}_{\partial \Omega }=0$, where $0<q<(N+2)/\left(N-2\right)$, $q\ne 1$, $\lambda \ge 0$ and $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain containing the origin. In particular, bifurcation and uniqueness results are discussed.

We consider a convexity notion for complex spaces $X$ with respect to a holomorphic line bundle $L$ over $X$. This definition has been introduced by Grauert and, when $L$ is analytically trivial, we recover the standard holomorphic convexity. In this circle of ideas, we prove the counterpart of the classical Remmert’s reduction result for holomorphically convex spaces. In the same vein, we show that if $H^0(X,L)$ separates each point of $X$, then $X$ can be realized as a Riemann domain over the complex projective...

Si studiano le condizioni sotto cui l’immagine (o l'immagine inversa) di uno spazio localmente $S$-chiuso sia localmente $S$-chiuso.

We prove that any first order ${ℱ}_2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operator transforming projectable general connections on an $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$-dimensional fibred-fibred manifold $p=(p,p):(p_Y:Y\to Y)\to (p_M:M\to M)$ into general connections on the vertical prolongation $VY\to M$ of $p:Y\to M$ is the restriction of the (rather well-known) vertical prolongation operator $𝒱$ lifting general connections $\overline{\Gamma }$ on a fibred manifold $Y\to M$ into $𝒱\overline{\Gamma }$ (the vertical prolongation of $\overline{\Gamma }$) on $VY\to M$.

Let $ℳf_m$ be the category of $m$-dimensional manifolds and local diffeomorphisms and  let $T$ be the tangent functor on $ℳf_m$. Let $𝒱$ be the category of real vector spaces and linear maps and let ${𝒱}_m$ be the category of $m$-dimensional real vector spaces and linear isomorphisms. We characterize all regular covariant functors $F:{𝒱}_m\to 𝒱$ admitting $ℳf_m$-natural operators $\tilde{J}$ transforming classical linear connections $\nabla$ on $m$-dimensional manifolds $M$ into almost complex structures $\tilde{J}\left(\nabla \right)$ on $F\left(T\right)M={\bigcup }_{x\in M}F\left(T_{x}M\right)$.

We describe all ${}_m\left(G\right)$-gauge-natural operators lifting right-invariant vector fields X on principal G-bundles P → M with m-dimensional bases into vector fields (X) on the rth order principal prolongation $W^{r}P=P^{r}M{\times }_M{J}^{r}P$ of P → M. In other words, we classify all ${}_m\left(G\right)$-natural transformations $J^{r}LP{\times }_M{W}^{r}P\to T{W}^{r}P=L{W}^{r}P{\times }_M{W}^{r}P$ covering the identity of $W^{r}P$, where $J^{r}LP$ is the r-jet prolongation of the Lie algebroid LP=TP/G of P, i.e. we find all ${}_m\left(G\right)$-natural transformations which are similar to the Kumpera-Spencer isomorphism $J^{r}LP=L{W}^{r}P$. We formulate axioms which...

We deal with the problem ⎧ -Δu = f(x,u) + λg(x,u), in Ω, ⎨ ($P_{\lambda }$) ⎩ $u_{\mid \partial \Omega }=0$ where Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ is a bounded domain, λ ∈ ℝ, and f,g: Ω×ℝ → ℝ are two Carathéodory functions with f(x,0) = g(x,0) = 0. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that there exists λ* > 0 such that, for each λ ∈ (0,λ*), problem ($P_{\lambda }$) admits a non-zero, non-negative strong solution $u_{\lambda }\in {\bigcap }_{p\ge 2}{W}^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)$ such that $li{m}_{\lambda \to 0⁺}\left|\right|u_{\lambda }{\left|\right|}_{W^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)}=0$ for all p ≥ 2. Moreover, the function $\lambda \mapsto I_{\lambda }\left(u_{\lambda }\right)$ is negative and decreasing in ]0,λ*[, where $I_{\lambda }$ is the energy functional related to ($P_{\lambda }$). ...

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup. Denote by $D(G;H)$ (or $D\left(G\right)$) the crossed product of $C\left(G\right)$ and $ℂH$ (or $ℂG$) with respect to the adjoint action of the latter on the former. Consider the algebra $\langle D\left(G\right),e\rangle$ generated by $D\left(G\right)$ and $e$, where we regard $E$ as an idempotent operator $e$ on $D\left(G\right)$ for a certain conditional expectation $E$ of $D\left(G\right)$ onto $D(G;H)$. Let us call $\langle D\left(G\right),e\rangle$ the basic construction from the conditional expectation $E:D\left(G\right)\to D(G;H)$. The paper constructs a crossed product algebra $C(G/H\times G)⋊ℂG$, and proves that there is an algebra isomorphism between...

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c\left(X\right)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K\left(X\right)$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right))$ the set of all functions in $C_c\left(X\right)$ with compact (resp., pseudocompact) support. First, we observe that $C_c^K\left(X\right)=O_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right)=M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus {\upsilon }_{0}X}$), where ${\beta }_{0}X$ is the Banaschewski compactification of $X$ and ${\upsilon }_{0}X$ is the $\mathbb{N}$-compactification of $X$. This implies that for an $\mathbb{N}$-compact space $X$, the intersection of all free maximal ideals in $C_c\left(X\right)$ is equal to $C_c^K\left(X\right)$, i.e., $M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}=C_c^K\left(X\right)$. By applying...

Denote by spanf₁,f₂,... the collection of all finite linear combinations of the functions f₁,f₂,... over ℝ. The principal result of the paper is the following. Theorem (Full Clarkson-Erdős-Schwartz Theorem). Suppose ${\left({\lambda }_j\right)}_{j=1}^{\infty }$ is a sequence of distinct positive numbers. Then $span1,x^{\lambda ₁},x^{\lambda ₂},...$ is dense in C[0,1] if and only if ${\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }\left({\lambda }_j\right)/({\lambda }_j²+1)=\infty$. Moreover, if ${\sum }_{j=1}^{\infty }\left({\lambda }_j\right)/({\lambda }_j²+1)<\infty$, then every function from the C[0,1] closure of $span1,x^{\lambda ₁},x^{\lambda ₂},...$ can be represented as an analytic function on z ∈ ℂ ∖ (-∞, 0]: |z| < 1 restricted to (0,1). This result improves an...

Si costruiscono curve di genere $g=4n\mathrm{—}3$, $n\ge 3$ che hanno $2^{n-3}(2^{n-2}-1)$ fasci semicanonici $L$ tali che $h^0(L)=4$. Per $n+3$ si dimostra che gli $L$ sono molto ampi.

Let ${\left(f_{\lambda }\right)}_{\lambda \in \Lambda }$ be a holomorphic family of rational mappings of degree $d$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^1\left(ℂ\right)$, with $k$ marked critical points $c_1,...,c_k$. To this data is associated a closed positive current $T_1\wedge \cdots \wedge T_k$ of bidegree $(k,k)$ on $\Lambda$, aiming to describe the simultaneous bifurcations of the marked critical points. In this note we show that the support of this current is accumulated by parameters at which $c_1,...,c_k$ eventually fall on repelling cycles. Together with results of Buff, Epstein and Gauthier, this leads to a complete characterization of $\mathrm{Supp}(T_1\wedge \cdots \wedge T_k)$. ...

Let $D$ be an open set of a Stein manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ such that $H^k(D,𝒪)=0$ for $2\le k\le n-1$. We prove that $D$ is Stein if and only if every topologically trivial holomorphic line bundle $L$ on $D$ is associated to some Cartier divisor $𝔡$ on $D$.

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...
