Authors:Jan Kohlhaase Pages: 1 - 49 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Jan Kohlhaase We develop a duality theory for admissible smooth representations of p-adic Lie groups on vector spaces over fields of characteristic p. To this end we introduce certain higher smooth duality functors and relate our construction to the Auslander duality of completed group rings. We study the behavior of smooth duality under tensor products, inflation and induction, and discuss the dimension theory of smooth mod-p representations of a p-adic reductive group. Finally, we compute the higher smooth duals of the irreducible smooth representations of GL 2 ( Q p ) in characteristic p and relate our results to the contragredient operation of Colmez.
Authors:Gufang Zhao; Changlong Zhong Pages: 50 - 90 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Gufang Zhao, Changlong Zhong For any formal group law, there is a formal affine Hecke algebra defined by Hoffnung–Malagón-López–Savage–Zainoulline. Coming from this formal group law, there is also an oriented cohomology theory. We identify the formal affine Hecke algebra with a convolution algebra coming from the oriented cohomology theory applied to the Steinberg variety. As a consequence, this algebra acts on the corresponding cohomology of the Springer fibers. This generalizes the action of classical affine Hecke algebra on the K-theory of the Springer fibers constructed by Lusztig. We also give a residue interpretation of the formal affine Hecke algebra, which generalizes the residue construction of Ginzburg–Kapranov–Vasserot when the formal group law comes from a 1-dimensional algebraic group.
Authors:Dominic Descombes; Maël Pavón Pages: 91 - 107 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Dominic Descombes, Maël Pavón We prove an explicit characterization of all injective subsets of the model space l ∞ ( I ) of all bounded real-valued functions defined on a non-empty set I, endowed with the supremum norm. Since the class of all injective metric spaces coincides with the one of all absolute 1-Lipschitz retracts, the present work yields a characterization of all the subsets of l ∞ ( I ) that are absolute 1-Lipschitz retracts.

To do so, we perform a detailed analysis of which projections are properly infinite in such C ⁎ -algebras.

Frank, Julien Sabin We generalize the L p spectral cluster bounds of Sogge for the Laplace–Beltrami operator on compact Riemannian manifolds to systems of orthonormal functions. The optimality of these new bounds is also discussed. These spectral cluster bounds follow from Schatten-type bounds on oscillatory integral operators.
Authors:Max Fathi; Brent Nelson Pages: 193 - 223 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Max Fathi, Brent Nelson We introduce a free version of the Stein kernel, relative to a semicircular law. We use it to obtain a free counterpart of the HSI inequality of Ledoux, Peccatti and Nourdin, which is an improvement of the free logarithmic Sobolev inequality of Biane and Speicher, as well as a rate of convergence in the (multivariate) entropic free Central Limit Theorem. We also compute the free Stein kernels for several relevant families of self-adjoint operators.

In particular, we provide a complete classification theory of these actions for compact Abelian groups and explain its relation to the classification of classical principal bundles.
Authors:Luca Rossi Pages: 267 - 298 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Luca Rossi We devise a new geometric approach to study the propagation of disturbance – compactly supported data – in reaction–diffusion equations. The method builds a bridge between the propagation of disturbance and of almost planar solutions. It applies to very general reaction–diffusion equations. The main consequences we derive in this paper are: a new proof of the classical Freidlin–Gärtner formula for the asymptotic speed of spreading for periodic Fisher–KPP equations; extension of the formula to the monostable, combustion and bistable cases; existence of the asymptotic speed of spreading for equations with almost periodic temporal dependence; derivation of multi-tiered propagation for multistable equations.

We extend the result to equations of Korteweg–de Vries type for a range of fractional dispersion.
Authors:Michael Temkin Pages: 438 - 472 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Michael Temkin We show that the metric structure of morphisms f : Y → X between quasi-smooth compact Berkovich curves over an algebraically closed field admits a finite combinatorial description. In particular, for a large enough skeleton Γ = ( Γ Y , Γ X ) of f, the sets N f , ≥ n of points of Y of multiplicity at least n in the fiber are radial around Γ Y with the radius changing piecewise monomially along Γ Y . In this case, for any interval l = [ z , y ] ⊂ Y connecting a point z of type 1 to the skeleton, the restriction f l gives rise to a profile piecewise monomial function φ y : [ 0 , 1 ] → [ 0 , 1 ] that depends only on the type 2 point y ∈ Γ Y . In particular, the metric structure of f is determined by Γ and the family of the profile functions { φ y } with y ∈ Γ Y ( 2 ) . We prove that this family is piecewise monomial in y and naturally extends to the whole Y. In addition, we extend the classical theory of higher ramification groups to arbitrary real-valued fields and show that φ y coincides with the Herbrand function of H ( y ) / H ( f ( y ) ) . This gives a curious geometric interpretation of the Herbrand function, which also applies to non-normal and even inseparable extensions.
Authors:Daniel Orr; Leonid Petrov Pages: 473 - 525 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Daniel Orr, Leonid Petrov We present two new connections between the inhomogeneous stochastic higher spin six vertex model in a quadrant and integrable stochastic systems from the Macdonald processes hierarchy. First, we show how Macdonald q-difference operators with t = 0 (an algebraic tool crucial for studying the corresponding Macdonald processes) can be utilized to get q-moments of the height function h in the higher spin six vertex model first computed in [21] using Bethe ansatz. This result in particular implies that for the vertex model with the step Bernoulli boundary condition, the value of h at an arbitrary point ( N + 1 , T ) ∈ Z ≥ 2 × Z ≥ 1 has the same distribution as the last component λ N of a random partition under a specific t = 0 Macdonald measure. On the other hand, it is known that x N : = λ N − N can be identified with the location of the Nth particle in a certain discrete time q-TASEP started from the step initial configuration. The second construction we present is a coupling of this q-TASEP and the higher spin six vertex model (with the step Bernoulli boundary condition) along time-like paths providing an independent probabilistic explanation of the equality of h ( N + 1 , T ) and x N + N in distribution. As an illustration of our main results we obtain GUE Tracy–Widom asymptotics of a certain discrete time q-TASEP (with the step initial configuration and special jump parameters) by means of Schur measures (which are t = q Macdonald measures). This analysis combines our results with the identification of averages of observables between the stochastic higher spin six vertex model and Schur measures obtained recently in [8].

We show that any minimizing H-disk in an H 0 -convex domain is embedded for any H ∈ [ 0 , H 0 ) . In particular, for the unit ball B in R 3 , this implies that for any H ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , any Jordan curve in ∂ B bounds an embedded H-disk in B.
Authors:Ryan E. Grady; Qin Li; Si Li Pages: 575 - 639 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Ryan E. Grady, Qin Li, Si Li Into a geometric setting, we import the physical interpretation of index theorems via semi-classical analysis in topological quantum field theory. We develop a direct relationship between Fedosov's deformation quantization of a symplectic manifold X and the Batalin–Vilkovisky (BV) quantization of a one-dimensional sigma model with target X. This model is a quantum field theory of AKSZ type and is quantized rigorously using Costello's homotopic theory of effective renormalization. We show that Fedosov's Abelian connections on the Weyl bundle produce solutions to the effective quantum master equation. Moreover, BV integration produces a natural trace map on the deformation quantized algebra. This formulation allows us to exploit a (rigorous) localization argument in quantum field theory to deduce the algebraic index theorem via semi-classical analysis, i.e., one-loop Feynman diagram computations.

This reveals a link between the kinematic formulas for area measures studied by Wannerer and the integral geometry of curved isotropic spaces. As an application we find explicitly the kinematic formula for the surface area measure in Hermitian space.

In particular, we describe doubles as explicit maximal symmetric subalgebras of certain generalized Schur algebras and establish a Schur–Weyl duality with wreath product algebras.
Authors:Daniel Cibotaru Pages: 718 - 757 Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Daniel Cibotaru We use the mapping cone for the relative deRham cohomology of a manifold with boundary in order to show that the Chern–Gauss–Bonnet Theorem for oriented Riemannian vector bundles over such manifolds is a manifestation of Lefschetz Duality in any of the two embodiments of the latter. We explain how Thom isomorphism fits into this picture, complementing thus the classical results about Thom forms with compact support. When the rank is odd, we construct, by using secondary transgression forms introduced here, a new closed pair of forms on the disk bundle associated to a vector bundle, pair which is Lefschetz dual to the zero section.

Equivalently, if A ⊆ R k is closed and the Hausdorff dimension of A exceeds the topological dimension of A, then every compact subset of every R n can be constructed from A using finitely many boolean operations, cartesian products, and linear operations. The same statement fails when Hausdorff dimension is replaced by packing dimension.

As consequences, we obtain analogues of the generalised classical Hardy and Rellich inequalities and the uncertainty principle on homogeneous groups. We also prove higher order inequalities of Hardy–Rellich type, all with sharp constants. A number of identities are derived including weighted and higher order types.

Under the assumption that uniform energy bounds and a weak form of local energy decay hold forward in time, we establish peeling estimates, as well as a t − 4 rate of decay on compact regions for all the components of the Maxwell tensor.
Authors:Christophe Eyral; Mutsuo Oka Pages: 94 - 113 Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Christophe Eyral, Mutsuo Oka In an unpublished lecture note, J. Briançon observed that if { f t } is a family of isolated complex hypersurface singularities such that the Newton boundary of f t is independent of t and f t is non-degenerate, then the corresponding family of hypersurfaces { f t − 1 ( 0 ) } is Whitney equisingular (and hence topologically equisingular). A first generalization of this assertion to families with non-isolated singularities was given by the second author under a rather technical condition. In the present paper, we give a new generalization under a simpler condition.

We show that this C ⁎ -algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of groups on the boundary of its Bass–Serre tree. We characterise when this action is minimal, and find a sufficient condition under which it is locally contractive. In the case of generalised Baumslag–Solitar graphs of groups (graphs of groups in which every group is infinite cyclic) we also characterise topological freeness of this action. We are then able to establish a dichotomy for simple C ⁎ -algebras associated to generalised Baumslag–Solitar graphs of groups: they are either a Kirchberg algebra, or a stable Bunce–Deddens algebra.

Conley, Dimitar Grantcharov The Lie algebra of vector fields on R m acts naturally on the spaces of differential operators between tensor field modules. Its projective subalgebra is isomorphic to sl m + 1 , and its affine subalgebra is a maximal parabolic subalgebra of the projective subalgebra with Levi factor gl m . We prove two results. First, we realize explicitly all injective objects of the parabolic category O g l m ( sl m + 1 ) of gl m -finite sl m + 1 -modules, as submodules of differential operator modules. Second, we study projective quantizations of differential operator modules, i.e., sl m + 1 -invariant splittings of their order filtrations. In the case of modules of differential operators from a tensor density module to an arbitrary tensor field module, we determine when there exists a unique projective quantization, when there exists no projective quantization, and when there exist multiple projective quantizations.

In their fundamental work, Phong and Stein established sharp L 2 estimates for T λ . The goal of this paper is to extend their results to all endpoints. In particular, we obtain a complete characterization for the mapping properties for T λ on L p ( R ) . More precisely, we show that ‖ T λ f ‖ p ≲ λ − α ‖ f ‖ p holds for some α > 0 if and only if ( 1 α p , 1 α p ′ ) lies in the reduced Newton polygon of S.

Through a modified Glimm scheme, an approximate solution sequence is constructed, and then a priori estimates are provided with the methods of approximate characteristics and approximate conservation laws, which gives not only the existence and uniqueness but also the uniform total variation bounds for the entropy solutions.
Authors:Arkady Berenstein; Jacob Greenstein Pages: 381 - 468 Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Arkady Berenstein, Jacob Greenstein We introduce a new class of bases for quantized universal enveloping algebras U q ( g ) and other doubles attached to semisimple and Kac–Moody Lie algebras. These bases contain dual canonical bases of upper and lower halves of U q ( g ) and are invariant under many symmetries including all Lusztig's symmetries if g is semisimple. It also turns out that a part of a double canonical basis of U q ( g ) spans its center and consists of higher Casimirs which suggests physical applications.
Authors:Mircea Petrache; Tristan Rivière Pages: 469 - 540 Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Mircea Petrache, Tristan Rivière We study the minimization problem for the Yang–Mills energy under fixed boundary connection in supercritical dimension n ≥ 5 . We define the natural function space A G in which to formulate this problem in analogy to the space of integral currents used for the classical Plateau problem. The space A G can be also interpreted as a space of weak connections on a “real measure theoretic version” of reflexive sheaves from complex geometry. We prove the existence of weak solutions to the Yang–Mills Plateau problem in the space A G . We then prove the optimal regularity result for solutions of this Plateau problem. On the way to prove this result we establish a Coulomb gauge extraction theorem for weak curvatures with small Yang–Mills density. This generalizes to the general framework of weak L 2 curvatures previous works of Meyer–Rivière and Tao–Tian in which respectively a strong approximability property and an admissibility property were assumed in addition.
Authors:Deepam Patel; G.V. Ravindra Pages: 554 - 575 Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Deepam Patel, G.V. Ravindra Let Y be a smooth projective variety over C , and X be a smooth hypersurface in Y. We prove that the natural restriction map on Chow groups of codimension two cycles is an isomorphism when restricted to the torsion subgroups provided dim Y ≥ 5 . We prove an analogous statement for a very general hypersurface X ⊂ P 4 of degree ≥5. In the more general setting of a very general hypersurface X of sufficiently high degree in a fixed smooth projective four-fold Y, under some additional hypothesis, we prove that the restriction map is an isomorphism on ℓ-primary torsion for almost all primes ℓ. As a consequence, we obtain a weak Lefschetz theorem for torsion in the Griffiths groups of codimension 2 cycles, and prove the injectivity of the Abel–Jacobi map when restricted to torsion in this Griffiths group, thereby providing a partial answer to a question of Nori.

We extend the results of Lubinsky for Jacobi measures supported on [ − 1 , 1 ] to generalized Jacobi measures supported on a compact subset of the real line, where the singularity can be located in the interior or at an endpoint of the support. The analysis is based upon the Riemann–Hilbert method, Christoffel functions, the polynomial inverse image method of Totik and the normal family approach of Lubinsky.

Hernández, Evgeny M. Semenov, Pedro Tradacete We study the interpolation and extrapolation properties of strictly singular operators between different L p spaces. To this end, the structure of strictly singular non-compact operators between L p − L q spaces is analyzed. Among other things, we clarify the relation between strict singularity and the L-characteristic set of an operator. In particular, Krasnoselskii's interpolation theorem for compact operators is extended to the class of strictly singular operators.
Authors:Xavier Ros-Oton; Joaquim Serra Pages: 710 - 747 Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Xavier Ros-Oton, Joaquim Serra We study the regularity of the free boundary in the fully nonlinear thin obstacle problem. Our main result establishes that the free boundary is C 1 near any regular point. This extends to the fully nonlinear setting the celebrated result of Athanasopoulos–Caffarelli–Salsa [1]. The proofs we present here are completely independent from those in [1], and do not rely on any monotonicity formula. Furthermore, an interesting and novel feature of our proofs is that we establish the regularity of the free boundary without classifying blow-ups, a priori they could be non-homogeneous and/or non-unique. We do not classify blow-ups but only prove that they are 1D on { x n = 0 } .
Authors:Selçuk Barlak; Xin Li Pages: 748 - 769 Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Selçuk Barlak, Xin Li We show that a separable, nuclear C*-algebra satisfies the UCT if it has a Cartan subalgebra. Furthermore, we prove that the UCT is closed under crossed products by group actions which respect Cartan subalgebras. This observation allows us to deduce, among other things, that a crossed product O 2 ⋊ α Z p satisfies the UCT if there is some automorphism γ of O 2 with the property that γ ( D 2 ) ⊆ O 2 ⋊ α Z p is regular, where D 2 denotes the canonical masa of O 2 . We prove that this condition is automatic if γ ( D 2 ) ⊆ O 2 ⋊ α Z p is not a masa or α ( γ ( D 2 ) ) is inner conjugate to γ ( D 2 ) . Finally, we relate the UCT problem for separable, nuclear, M 2 ∞ -absorbing C*-algebras to Cartan subalgebras and order two automorphisms of O 2 .

Authors:Nir Lev; Alexander Olevskii Pages: 1 - 26 Abstract: Publication date: 31 July 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 315 Author(s): Nir Lev, Alexander Olevskii We prove that a positive-definite measure in R n with uniformly discrete support and discrete closed spectrum, is representable as a finite linear combination of Dirac combs, translated and modulated. This extends our recent results where we proved this under the assumption that also the spectrum is uniformly discrete. As an application we obtain that Hof's quasicrystals with uniformly discrete diffraction spectra must have a periodic diffraction structure.
Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): Gábor Szabó In this paper, we accomplish two objectives. Firstly, we extend and improve some results in the theory of (semi-)strongly self-absorbing C ⁎ -dynamical systems, which was introduced and studied in previous work. In particular, this concerns the theory when restricted to the case where all the semi-strongly self-absorbing actions are assumed to be unitarily regular, which is a mild technical condition. The central result in the first part is a strengthened version of the equivariant McDuff-type theorem, where equivariant tensorial absorption can be achieved with respect to so-called very strong cocycle conjugacy. Secondly, we establish completely new results within the theory. This mainly concerns how equivariantly Z -stable absorption can be reduced to equivariantly UHF-stable absorption with respect to a given semi-strongly self-absorbing action. Combining these abstract results with known uniqueness theorems due to Matui and Izumi–Matui, we obtain the following main result. If G is a torsion-free abelian group and D is one of the known strongly self-absorbing C ⁎ -algebras, then strongly outer G-actions on D are unique up to (very strong) cocycle conjugacy. This is new even for Z 3 -actions on the Jiang–Su algebra.
Authors:Simental Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): José Simental We study Harish-Chandra bimodules over the rational Cherednik algebra H c ( W ) associated to a complex reflection group W with parameter c. Our results allow us to partially reduce the study of these bimodules to smaller algebras. We classify those pairs of parameters ( c , c ′ ) for which there exist fully supported Harish-Chandra bimodules, and give a description of the category of all Harish-Chandra bimodules modulo those without full support. When W is a symmetric group we are able to classify all irreducible Harish-Chandra bimodules. Our proofs are based on localization techniques, the action of the Namikawa–Weyl group on the set of parameters, and the study of partial KZ functors.
Authors:Stevo Abstract: Publication date: 7 September 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 317 Author(s): Miloš S. Kurilić, Stevo Todorčević Let 〈 R , ∼ 〉 be the Rado graph, Emb ( R ) the monoid of its self-embeddings, P ( R ) = { f ( R ) : f ∈ Emb ( R ) } the set of copies of R contained in R, and I R the ideal of subsets of R which do not contain a copy of R. We consider the poset 〈 P ( R ) , ⊂ 〉 , the algebra P ( R ) / I R , and the inverse of the right Green's preorder on Emb ( R ) , and show that these preorders are forcing equivalent to a two step iteration of the form P ⁎ π , where the poset P is similar to the Sacks perfect set forcing: adds a generic real, has the ℵ 0 -covering property and, hence, preserves ω 1 , has the Sacks property and does not produce splitting reals, while π codes an ω-distributive forcing. Consequently, the Boolean completions of these four posets are isomorphic and the same holds for each countable graph containing a copy of the Rado graph.

Teixeira, José Miguel Urbano We establish a new oscillation estimate for solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations of elliptic, degenerate type. This new tool yields a precise control on the growth rate of solutions near their set of critical points, where ellipticity degenerates. As a consequence, we are able to prove the planar counterpart of the longstanding conjecture that solutions of the degenerate p-Poisson equation with a bounded source are locally of class C p ′ = C 1 , 1 p − 1 ; this regularity is optimal.
Abstract: Publication date: 20 August 2017 Source:Advances in Mathematics, Volume 316 Author(s): András Máthé The main result of this paper is the following. Given countably many multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients and maximum degree d, we construct a compact set E ⊂ R n of Hausdorff dimension n / d which does not contain finite point configurations corresponding to the zero sets of the given polynomials. Given a set E ⊂ R n , we study the angles determined by three-point subsets of E. The main result implies the existence of a compact set in R n of Hausdorff dimension n / 2 which does not contain the angle π / 2 . (This is known to be sharp if n is even.) We show that there is a compact set of Hausdorff dimension n / 8 which does not contain an angle in any given countable set. We also construct a compact set E ⊂ R n of Hausdorff dimension n / 6 for which the set of angles determined by E is Lebesgue null. In the other direction, we present a result that every set of sufficiently large dimension contains an angle ε close to any given angle. The main result can also be applied to distance sets. As a corollary we obtain a compact set E ⊂ R n ( n ≥ 2 ) of Hausdorff dimension n / 2 which does not contain rational distances nor collinear points, for which the distance set is Lebesgue null, moreover, every distance and direction is realised only at most once by E.
