Summary: In order to get a mathematical understanding of the BRS-transformation and the Slavnov-Taylor identities, we treat them in a finite dimensional setting. We show that in this setting the BRS-transformation is a vector field on a certain supermanifold. The connection to the BRS-complex will be established. Finally we treat the generating functional and the Slavnov-Taylor identity in this setting.
The role of the second critical exponent , the Sobolev critical exponent in one dimension less, is investigated for the classical Lane–Emden–Fowler problem , under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a domain in with bounded, smooth boundary. Given , a geodesic of the boundary with negative inner normal curvature we find that for , there exists a solution such that converges weakly to a Dirac measure on as , provided that is nondegenerate in the sense of second variations of...
We prove that any bundle functor F:ℱol → ℱℳ on the category ℱ olof all foliated manifolds without singularities and all leaf respecting maps is of locally finite order.
Let F:ℳ f →ℱℳ be a bundle functor with the point property F(pt) = pt, where pt is a one-point manifold. We prove that F is product preserving if and only if for any m and n there is an -canonical construction D of general connections D(Γ) on Fp:FY → FM from general connections Γ on fibred manifolds p:Y → M.
In the nonconvex case, solutions of rate-independent systems may develop jumps as a function of time. To model such jumps, we adopt the philosophy that rate-independence should be considered as limit of systems with smaller and smaller viscosity. For the finite-dimensional case we study the vanishing-viscosity limit of doubly nonlinear equations given in terms of a differentiable energy functional and a dissipation potential that is a viscous regularization of a given rate-independent dissipation...

Soit un opérateur pseudodifférentiel (ou microdifférentiel) tel que soit aussi un opérateur pseudodifférentiel. Alors le symbole de s’ecrit avec un symbole . Pour la réciproque, si est un opérateur à symbole , il existe un opérateur tel que . Tous ces résultats reposent sur la théorie développée dans la Note I de cette série. Comme application, on obtient une condition suffisante d’inversibilité pour les opérateurs pseudodifférentiels d’ordre infini.
Cet article s’intéresse au calcul symbolique des opérateurs microdifférentiels avec symboles exponentiels. On donne la loi de composition des symboles exponentiels. Comme application, on trouve une condition suffisante d’ellipticité pour les opérateurs microdifférentiels d’ordre infini.
