Given a henselian pair $(R, I)$ of commutative rings, we show that the relative $K$-theory and relative topological cyclic homology with finite coefficients are identified via the cyclotomic trace $K \to \mathrm{TC}$. This yields a…

A semi-infinite weighted Hankel matrix with entries defined in terms of basic hypergeometric series is explicitly diagonalized as an operator on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{N}_{0})$. The approach uses the fact that the operator commutes with a…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I\subset R$ be a nilpotent ideal such that the quotient $R/I$ splits out of $R$ as a ring. Let $N$ be a natural number such that ${I^N=0}$. We establish a canonical isomorphism between the relative Milnor…

This paper studies the (small) quantum homology and cohomology of fibrations $p: P\to S^2$ whose structural group is the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of the fiber $(M,\om)$. It gives a proof that the rational cohomology splits…

We prove local solvability for large classes of operators of the form $$ L=\sum_{j,k=1}^{2n}a_{jk}V_jV_k+i\alpha U,$$ where the $V_j$ are left-invariant vector fields on the Heisenberg group satisfying the commutation relations…

Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…

The goal of this paper is to prove that if Q is a connected non-Dynkin quiver then the preprojective algebra of Q over any field k is Koszul, and has Hilbert series 1/(1-Ct+t^2), where C is the adjacency matrix of the double of Q. (This…

Given a classical semisimple complex algebraic group G and a symmetric pair (G, K) of non-Hermitian type, we study the closures of the spherical nilpotent K-orbits in the isotropy representation of K. For all such orbit closures, we study…

Let F be a field of characteristic zero and let f(t,n) be the stabilization homomorphism from the n-th integral homology of SL(t,F) to the n-th homology of SL(t+1,F). We prove the following results: For all n, f(t,n) is an isomorphism if t…

Gerstenhaber showed in 1961 that any commuting pair of n x n matrices over a field k generates a k-algebra A of k-dimension \leq n. A well-known example shows that the corresponding statement for 4 matrices is false. The question for 3…

We present an efficient algorithm for computing the permanent for matrices of size N that can written as a product of L block diagonal matrices with blocks of size at most 2. For fixed L, the time and space resources scale linearly in N,…

This paper is a contribution to the study of the relations between special functions, Lie algebras and rigged Hilbert spaces. The discrete indices and continuous variables of special functions are in correspondence with the representations…

Given a Lie group $G$, a compact subgroup $K$ and a representation $\tau\in\hat K$, we assume that the algebra of $\text{End}(V_\tau)$-valued, bi-$\tau$-equivariant, integrable functions on $G$ is commutative. We present the basic facts of…

Let $(\mathcal{H}_k, \mathcal{H}_{\ell})$ be a pair of Hilbert function spaces with kernels $k, \ell$. In a 2005 paper, Shimorin showed that a certain factorization condition on $(k, \ell)$ yields a commutant lifting theorem for multipliers…

The simplest and most natural examples of completely nonunitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions are the nilpotent operators. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the…

We show that whenever a contractive $k$-tuple $T$ on a finite dimensional space $H$ has a unitary dilation, then for any fixed degree $N$ there is a unitary $k$-tuple $U$ on a finite dimensional space so that $q(T) = P_H q(U) |_H$ for all…

We consider a class of non-trivial perturbations ${\mathscr A}$ of the degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in ${\mathbb R}^N$. In fact we perturb both the diffusion and the drift part of the operator (say $Q$ and $B$) allowing the…

The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…

We show that algebraizability of the functors $R^1\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ and $R^2\pi_*\mathcal{K}^M_{2,X}$ is a stable birational invariant for smooth and proper varieties $\pi:X\rightarrow k$ defined over an algebraic extension $k$ of…

Let $P=G/K$ be a semisimple non-compact Riemannian symmetric space, where $G=I_0(P)$ and $K=G_p$ is the stabilizer of $p\in P$. Let $X$ be an orbit of the (isotropy) representation of $K$ on $T_p(P)$ ($X$ is called a real flag manifold).…
