Geometric quantization and no-go theorems

Viktor Ginzburg, Richard Montgomery (2000)

Banach Center Publications

A geometric quantization of a Kähler manifold, viewed as a symplectic manifold, depends on the complex structure compatible with the symplectic form. The quantizations form a vector bundle over the space of such complex structures. Having a canonical quantization would amount to finding a natural (projectively) flat connection on this vector bundle. We prove that for a broad class of manifolds, including symplectic homogeneous spaces (e.g., the sphere), such connection does not exist. This is a...

Geometric realization and coincidence for reducible non-unimodular Pisot tiling spaces with an application to β -shifts

Veronica Baker, Marcy Barge, Jaroslaw Kwapisz (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This article is devoted to the study of the translation flow on self-similar tilings associated with a substitution of Pisot type. We construct a geometric representation and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the flow to have pure discrete spectrum. As an application we demonstrate that, for certain beta-shifts, the natural extension is naturally isomorphic to a toral automorphism.

Geometric rigidity of × m invariant measures

Michael Hochman (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let μ be a probability measure on [ 0 , 1 ] which is invariant and ergodic for T a ( x ) = a x 𝚖𝚘𝚍 1 , and 0 < 𝚍𝚒𝚖 μ < 1 . Let f be a local diffeomorphism on some open set. We show that if E and ( f μ ) E μ E , then f ' ( x ) ± a r : r at μ -a.e. point x f - 1 E . In particular, if g is a piecewise-analytic map preserving μ then there is an open g -invariant set U containing supp μ such that g U is piecewise-linear with slopes which are rational powers of a . In a similar vein, for μ as above, if b is another integer and a , b are not powers of a common integer, and if ν is a T b -invariant...

Geometrical aspects of the Landau-Hall problem on the hiperbolic plane.

A. López Almorox, C. Tejero Prieto (2001)

RACSAM

Se discuten algunos aspectos del problema de Landau-Hall hiperbólico. El álgebra de Lie de las simetrías infinitesimales de este problema se da explícitamente, resultando ser isomorfa a so(2,1) y que sus invariantes Noether asociados son los momentos angulares hiperbólicos. Asimismo se desarrolla la formulación hamiltoniana, lo que nos permitirá obtener la variedad de órbitas de energía constante de este problema mediante técnicas de reducción simpléctica.

Geometrical methods in hydrodynamics

Adrian Constantin (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We describe some recent results on a specific nonlinear hydrodynamical problem where the geometric approach gives insight into a variety of aspects.

Geometry and dynamics of admissible metrics in measure spaces

Anatoly Vershik, Pavel Zatitskiy, Fedor Petrov (2013)

Open Mathematics

We study a wide class of metrics in a Lebesgue space, namely the class of so-called admissible metrics. We consider the cone of admissible metrics, introduce a special norm in it, prove compactness criteria, define the ɛ-entropy of a measure space with an admissible metric, etc. These notions and related results are applied to the theory of transformations with invariant measure; namely, we study the asymptotic properties of orbits in the cone of admissible metrics with respect to a given transformation...

Geometry of currents, intersection theory and dynamics of horizontal-like maps

Tien-Cuong Dinh, Nessim Sibony (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce a geometry on the cone of positive closed currents of bidegree ( p , p ) and apply it to define the intersection of such currents. We also construct and study the Green currents and the equilibrium measure for horizontal-like mappings. The Green currents satisfy some extremality properties. The equilibrium measure is invariant, mixing and has maximal entropy. It is equal to the intersection of the Green currents associated to the horizontal-like map and to its inverse.

Geometry of fluid motion

Boris Khesin (2002/2003)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We survey two problems illustrating geometric-topological and Hamiltonian methods in fluid mechanics: energy relaxation of a magnetic field and conservation laws for ideal fluid motion. More details and results, as well as a guide to the literature on these topics can be found in [3].
