The Wave Group and Radiation Fields on Asymptotically Hyperbolic Manifolds
The paper provides a description of the wave map problem with a specific focus on the breakthrough work of T. Tao which showed that a wave map, a dynamic lorentzian analog of a harmonic map, from Minkowski space into a sphere with smooth initial data and a small critical Sobolev norm exists globally in time and remains smooth. When the dimension of the base Minkowski space is , the critical norm coincides with energy, the only manifestly conserved quantity in this (lagrangian) theory. As a consequence,...
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]Differential spaces, whose theory was initiated by R. Sikorski in the sixties, provide an abstract setting for differential geometry. In this paper the author studies the wedge sum of such spaces and deduces some basic results concerning this construction.
This paper belongs to a series of papers devoted to the study of the cohomology of classifying spaces. Generalizing the Weil algebra of a Lie algebra and Kalkman’s BRST model, here we introduce the Weil algebra associated to any Lie algebroid . We then show that this Weil algebra is related to the Bott-Shulman complex (computing the cohomology of the classifying space) via a Van Est map and we prove a Van Est isomorphism theorem. As application, we generalize and find a simpler more conceptual...
Soit un -fibré principal différentiable sur une variété ( un groupe de Lie compact). Étant donné une action d’un groupe de Lie compact sur , on se pose la question de savoir si elle provient d’une action sur le fibré . L’originalité de ce travail est de relier ce problème à l’existence de points fixes pour les actions de que l’on induit naturellement sur divers espaces de modules de -connexions sur .
