In this paper we study the complex representations of reductive groups over local non-Archimedean fields. We use the building of the reductive group to give upper-bounds for the absolute value of the character of an admissible…
We study the appearance of multiple solutions to certain decompositions of Einstein's constraint equations. Pfeiffer and York recently reported the existence of two branches of solutions for identical background data in the extended…
A popular account of the mixing patterns for the three generations of quarks and leptons is through the characters $\kappa$ of a finite group $G$. Here we introduce a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space with $d=cc(G)$, the number of conjugacy…
We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…
Parreau compactified the Hitchin component of a closed surface $S$ of negative Euler characteristic in such a way that a boundary point corresponds to the projectivized length spectrum of an action of $\pi_1(S)$ on an $\mathbb R$-Euclidean…
The linearized Boltzmann collision operator has a central role in many important applications of the Boltzmann equation. Recently some important classical properties of the linearized collision operator for monatomic single species were…
We study global solutions to the thin obstacle problem with at most quadratic growth at infinity. We show that every ellipsoid can be realized as the contact set of such a solution. On the other hand, if such a solution has a compact…
In this paper, a unified family, for $n\geqslant2$ and $1\leqslant k \leqslant n-1$, of finite element schemes are presented for the primal weak formulation of the $n$-dimensional $H(\mathbf{d}^k)\cap H(\boldsymbol{\delta}_k)$ elliptic…
We investigate a beautiful conjecture of T. Wilde on character values and element orders of finite groups. We reduce it to a statement on nearly simple groups that can be checked ``prime by prime". For these groups, we show that a strong…
A finite element methodology for large classes of variational boundary value problems is defined which involves discretizing two linear operators: (1) the differential operator defining the spatial boundary value problem; and (2) a Riesz…
We present a systematic study of the structure of crossed products and fixed point algebras by compact group actions with the Rokhlin property on not necessarily unital C*-algebras. Our main technical result is the existence of an…
Let $A$ be a unital, simple and Z-stable C$^*$-algebra. We show that the set of positive elements in $A$ (resp. $A \otimes K$) belonging to a fixed non-compact Cuntz class is contractible as a topological subspace of $A$ (resp. $A \otimes…
Finite group theorists have established many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group in terms of sums of characters of the group. An obstacle to applying these formulas is lack of control over the dimensions of…
We give a new formula for the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsigular compact complex analytic variety. In particular this formula generalizes our previous result on the Euler characteristic of such a hypersurface.…
We develop the basic topological properties of compact polygons, i.e. of compact topological Tits buildings of rank two. It is proved that the Coxeter diagram of such a building is always crystallographic, that is, compact connected n-gons…
Recently $C^m$-conforming finite elements on simplexes in arbitrary dimension are constructed by Hu, Lin and Wu. The key in the construction is a non-overlapping decomposition of the simplicial lattice in which each component will be used…
We prove the well posedness in weighted Sobolev spaces of certain linear and nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems posed on convex domains and under singular forcing. It is assumed that the weights belong to the Muckenhoupt class $A_p$…
We give a sufficient condition for a composition operator with positive characteristic to be compact on the Hardy space of Dirichlet series.
In this paper we give an interpretation to the boundary points of the compactification of the parameter space of convex projective structures on an n-manifold M. These spaces are closed semi-algebraic subsets of the variety of characters of…
The implementation of the finite element method for linear elliptic equations requires to assemble the stiffness matrix and the load vector. In general, the entries of this matrix-vector system are not known explicitly but need to be…
