The notes consist of a study of special Lagrangian linear subspaces. We will give a condition for the graph of a linear symplectomorphism $f:({ℝ}^{2n},\sigma ={\sum }_{i=1}^{n}d{x}_i\wedge d{y}_i)\to ({ℝ}^{2n},\sigma )$ to be a special Lagrangian linear subspace in $({ℝ}^{2n}\times {ℝ}^{2n},\omega =\pi *₂\sigma -\pi *₁\sigma )$. This way a special symplectic subset in the symplectic group is introduced. A stratification of special Lagrangian Grassmannian $S{\Lambda }_{2n}\simeq SU\left(2n\right)/SO\left(2n\right)$ is defined.

We provide a formula for the symplectic period of an Eisenstein series on $\mathrm{GL}\left(2n\right)$ and determine when it is not identically zero.

The Conley-Zehnder index associates an integer to any continuous path of symplectic matrices starting from the identity and ending at a matrix which does not admit $1$ as an eigenvalue. Robbin and Salamon define a generalization of the Conley-Zehnder index for any continuous path of symplectic matrices; this generalization is half integer valued. It is based on a Maslov-type index that they define for a continuous path of Lagrangians in a symplectic vector space $(W,\overline{\Omega })$, having chosen a given...

Let $(X,{\omega }_X)$ and $(Y,{\omega }_Y)$ be compact symplectic manifolds (resp. symplectic manifolds) of dimension 2n > 2. Fix 0 < s < n (resp. 0 < k ≤ n) and assume that a diffeomorphism Φ : X → Y maps all 2s-dimensional symplectic submanifolds of X to symplectic submanifolds of Y (resp. all isotropic k-dimensional tori of X to isotropic tori of Y). We prove that in both cases Φ is a conformal symplectomorphism, i.e., there is a constant c ≠0 such that $\Phi *{\omega }_Y=c{\omega }_X$.

The paper concerns a ${𝒞}^0$-rigidity result for the characteristic foliations in symplectic geometry. A symplectic homeomorphism (in the sense of Eliashberg-Gromov) which preserves a smooth hypersurface also preserves its characteristic foliation.

We construct a version of rational Symplectic Field Theory for pairs $(X,L)$, where $X$ is an exact symplectic manifold, where $L\subset X$ is an exact Lagrangian submanifold with components subdivided into $k$ subsets, and where both $X$ and $L$ have cylindrical ends. The theory associates to $(X,L)$ a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded chain complex of vector spaces over ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$, filtered with $k$ filtration levels. The corresponding $k$-level spectral sequence is invariant under deformations of $(X,L)$ and has the following property: if $(X,L)$ is obtained by...

The first two authors have recently defined Rabinowitz Floer homology groups $RF{H}_{*}(M,W)$ associated to a separating exact embedding of a contact manifold $(M,\xi )$ into a symplectic manifold $(W,\omega )$. These depend only on the bounded component $V$ of $W\setminus M$. We construct a long exact sequence in which symplectic cohomology of $V$ maps to symplectic homology of $V$, which in turn maps to Rabinowitz Floer homology $RF{H}_{*}(M,W)$, which then maps to symplectic cohomology of $V$. We compute $RF{H}_{*}(S{T}^{*}L,T^{*}L)$, where $S{T}^{*}L$ is the unit cosphere bundle of a closed...

Let $M$ be a Kähler surface and $\Sigma$ be a closed symplectic surface which is smoothly immersed in $M$. Let $\alpha$ be the Kähler angle of $\Sigma$ in $M$. We first deduce the Euler-Lagrange equation of the functional $L={\int }_{\Sigma }\frac{1}{cos\alpha }d\mu$ in the class of symplectic surfaces. It is ${cos}^3\alpha H={\left(J{(J\nabla cos\alpha )}^{\top }\right)}^{\perp }$, where $H$ is the mean curvature vector of $\Sigma$ in $M$, $J$ is the complex structure compatible with the Kähler form $\omega$ in $M$, which is an elliptic equation. We call such a surface a symplectic critical surface. We show that, if $M$ is a Kähler-Einstein surface...

Let $p_1,p_2,\cdots$ be the sequence of all primes in ascending order. Using explicit estimates from the prime number theory, we show that if $k\ge 5$, then $$(p_{k+1}-1)!\mid \left(\frac{1}{2}(p_{k+1}-1)\right)!p_k!,$$ which improves a previous result of the second author.

Let $K_{s,t}$ be the complete bipartite graph with partite sets $\{x_1,...,x_s\}$ and $\{y_1,...,y_t\}$. A split bipartite-graph on $(s+s^{\text{'}})+(t+t^{\text{'}})$ vertices, denoted by ${\mathrm{SB}}_{s+s^{\text{'}},t+t^{\text{'}}}$, is the graph obtained from $K_{s,t}$ by adding $s^{\text{'}}+t^{\text{'}}$ new vertices $x_{s+1},...,x_{s+s^{\text{'}}}$, $y_{t+1},...,y_{t+t^{\text{'}}}$ such that each of $x_{s+1},...,x_{s+s^{\text{'}}}$ is adjacent to each of $y_1,...,y_t$ and each of $y_{t+1},...,y_{t+t^{\text{'}}}$ is adjacent to each of $x_1,...,x_s$. Let $A$ and $B$ be nonincreasing lists of nonnegative integers, having lengths $m$ and $n$, respectively. The pair $(A;B)$ is potentially ${\mathrm{SB}}_{s+s^{\text{'}},t+t^{\text{'}}}$-bigraphic if there is a simple bipartite graph containing ${\mathrm{SB}}_{s+s^{\text{'}},t+t^{\text{'}}}$ (with $s+s^{\text{'}}$ vertices $x_1,...,x_{s+s^{\text{'}}}$ in the part of size $m$...

For a double complex $(A,d^{\text{'}},d^{\text{'}\text{'}})$, we show that if it satisfies the $d^{\text{'}}{d}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-lemma and the spectral sequence $\left\{E_r^{p,q}\right\}$ induced by $A$ does not degenerate at $E_0$, then it degenerates at $E_1$. We apply this result to prove the degeneration at $E_1$ of a Hodge-de Rham spectral sequence on compact bi-generalized Hermitian manifolds that satisfy a version of $d^{\text{'}}{d}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-lemma.

We consider elementary operators $x\mapsto {\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_{j}x{b}_j$, acting on a unital Banach algebra, where $a_j$ and $b_j$ are separately commuting families of generalized scalar elements. We give an ascent estimate and a lower bound estimate for such an operator. Additionally, we give a weak variant of the Fuglede-Putnam theorem for an elementary operator with strongly commuting families $a_j$ and $b_j$, i.e. $a_j=a_j^{\text{'}}+i{a}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j=b_j^{\text{'}}+i{b}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$), where all $a_j^{\text{'}}$ and $a_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j^{\text{'}}$ and $b_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$) commute. The main tool is an L¹ estimate of the Fourier transform of a certain class...

In this paper, we study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem for $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ (the magnetization) of two variables $x^{\text{'}}$: $E_{\epsilon }\left(m^{\text{'}}\right)=\epsilon \int {|{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}+\frac{1}{2}\int {\left||{\nabla }^{\text{'}}{|}^{-1/2}{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}\right|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}$. We are interested in the behavior of minimizers as $\epsilon \to 0$. They are expected to be $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ of vanishing distributional divergence ${\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}=0$, so that appropriate boundary conditions enforce line discontinuities. For finite $\epsilon >0$, these line discontinuities are approximated by smooth transition layers, the so-called Néel...

We consider certain class of second order nonlinear nonautonomous delay differential equations of the form $$a\left(t\right)x^{\text{'}\text{'}}+b\left(t\right)g(x,x^{\text{'}})+c\left(t\right)h\left(x(t-r)\right)m\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)=p(t,x,x^{\text{'}})$$ and $${\left(a\left(t\right)x^{\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}+b\left(t\right)g(x,x^{\text{'}})+c\left(t\right)h\left(x(t-r)\right)m\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)=p(t,x,x^{\text{'}}),$$ where $a$, $b$, $c$, $g$, $h$, $m$ and $p$ are real valued functions which depend at most on the arguments displayed explicitly and $r$ is a positive constant. Different forms of the integral inequality method were used to investigate the boundedness of all solutions and their derivatives. Here, we do not require construction of the Lyapunov-Krasovski functional to establish our results....

We determine the duals of the homogeneous matrix-weighted Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ which were previously defined in [5]. If W is a matrix $A_p$ weight, then the dual of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ can be identified with ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$ and, similarly, $\left[{ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)\right]*\approx {ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$. Moreover, for certain W which may not be in the $A_p$ class, the duals of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ are determined and expressed in terms of the Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$ and ${ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$, which we define in terms of reducing operators ${A_Q}_Q$ associated with W. We also develop the basic theory of these reducing operator Besov spaces....

Viene dimostrata l'esistenza di soluzioni del problema di Darboux per l'equazione iperbolica $z_{xy}^{\mathrm{\prime \prime }}=f(x,y,z,Z_x^{\prime },z_y)$ sul planiquarto $x\ge 0$, $y\ge 0$. Qui, $f$ è una funzione continua, con valori in uno spazio Banach che soddisfano alcune condizioni di regolarità espresse in termini della misura di non-compattezza $\alpha$.

Let A denote the space of all analytic functions in the unit disc Δ with the normalization f(0) = f’(0) − 1 = 0. For β < 1, let $P{⁰}_{\beta }=f\in A:Re{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)>\beta ,z\in \Delta$. For λ > 0, suppose that denotes any one of the following classes of functions: $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(1\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(2\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z²f^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(3\right)}=f\in :Re1/2{\left(z{\left(z²f^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}-1>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$. The main purpose of this paper is to find conditions on λ and γ so that each f ∈ is in ${}_{\gamma }$ or ${}_{\gamma }$, γ ∈ [0,1/2]. Here ${}_{\gamma }$ and ${}_{\gamma }$ respectively denote the class of all starlike functions of order γ and the class of all convex functions of order γ. As a consequence, we obtain...

We study the existence of solutions of the system $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{\left({\phi }_1\left(u_1^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}=f_1(t,u_1\left(t\right),u_2\left(t\right),u_1^{\text{'}}\left(t\right),u_2^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)),\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],{\left({\phi }_2\left(u_2^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}=f_2(t,u_1\left(t\right),u_2\left(t\right),u_1^{\text{'}}\left(t\right),u_2^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)),\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ submitted to nonlinear coupled boundary conditions on $[0,T]$ where ${\phi }_1,{\phi }_2:(-a,a)\to ℝ$, with $0<a<+\infty$, are two increasing homeomorphisms such that ${\phi }_1\left(0\right)={\phi }_2\left(0\right)=0$, and $f_i:[0,T]\times {ℝ}^4\to ℝ$, $i\in \{1,2\}$ are two $L^1$-Carathéodory functions. Using some new conditions and Schauder fixed point Theorem, we obtain solvability result.

Let d be a positive integer and μ a generalized Cantor measure satisfying $\mu ={\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j\mu \circ S_j^{-1}$, where $0<a_j<1$, ${\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j=1$, $S_j=\rho R+b_j$ with 0 < ρ < 1 and R an orthogonal transformation of ${ℝ}^d$. Then ⎧1 < p ≤ 2 ⇒ ⎨$su{p}_{r>0}{r}^{d(1/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}-1/p^{\text{'}})}({\int }_{J_x^r}{\left|\mu ̂\left(y\right)\right|}^{p^{\text{'}}}{dy)}^{1/p^{\text{'}}}\le D₁{\rho }^{-d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}$, $x\in {ℝ}^d$, ⎩ p = 2 ⇒ infr≥1 rd(1/α’-1/2) (∫J₀r|μ̂(y)|² dy)1/2 ≥ D₂ρd/α’$,$where $J_x^r={\prod }_{i=1}^d(x_i-r/2,x_i+r/2)$, α’ is defined by ${\rho }^{d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}={\left({\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j^p\right)}^{1/p}$ and the constants D₁ and D₂ depend only on d and p.
