Galerkin-finite element solution of nonlinear evolution problems
After some remarks about the analogy between the classical gamma-function and Gaussian sums over finite fields a complete, very short explicit proof is given of an identity expressing a certain sum of products of Gaussian sums as a product of Gaussian sums. This identity is an analogue of the classical Barnes’ first lemma for the gamma-function. Four multiplicative characters of a finite field are concerned; the usually necessary restrictions on the triviality of certain products of these characters...
Summary: We specialize in a new way the second Noether theorem for gauge-natural field theories by relating it to the Jacobi morphism and show that it plays a fundamental role in the derivation of canonical covariant conserved quantities. In particular we show that Bergmann-Bianchi identities for such theories hold true covariantly and canonically only along solutions of generalized gauge-natural Jacobi equations. Vice versa, all vertical parts of gauge-natural lifts of infinitesimal principal automorphisms...
The author considers the Nijenhuis map assigning to two type (1,1) tensor fields , a mapping where , are vector fields. Then is a type (2,1) tensor field (Nijenhuis tensor) if and only if . Considering a smooth manifold with a smooth action of a Lie group, a secondary invariant may be defined as a mapping whose area of invariance is restricted to the inverse image of an invariant subset of under another invariant mapping. The author recognizes a secondary invariant related to the...
Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]A general theory of fibre bundles structured by an arbitrary differential-geometric category is presented. It is proved that the structured bundles of finite type coincide with the classical associated bundles.
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] A manifold (M,g) is said to be generalized Einstein manifold if the following condition is satisfied where S(X,Y) is the Ricci tensor of (M,g) and (X), (X) are certain -forms. In the present paper the author studies properties of conformal and geodesic mappings of generalized Einstein manifolds. He gives the local classification of generalized Einstein manifolds when g( (X), (X)).
Summary: We provide a geometric interpretation of generalized Jacobi morphisms in the framework of finite order variational sequences. Jacobi morphisms arise classically as an outcome of an invariant decomposition of the second variation of a Lagrangian. Here they are characterized in the context of generalized Lagrangian symmetries in terms of variational Lie derivatives of generalized Euler-Lagrange morphisms. We introduce the variational vertical derivative and stress its link with the classical...
