Pseudodifferential operators on Hilbert space riggings with associated psi *-algebras and generalized Hörmander classes

The present thesis is concerned with certain aspects of differential and pseudodifferential operators on infinite dimensional spaces. We aim to generalize classical operator theoretical concepts of pseudodifferential operators on finite dimensional spaces to the infinite dimensional case. At first we summarize some facts about the canonical Gaussian measures on infinite dimensional Hilbert space riggings. Considering the naturally unitary group actions in $L^2(H_-,gamma)$ given by weighted shifts and multiplication with $e^{iSkp{t}{cdot}_0}$ we obtain an unitary equivalence $F$ between them. In this sense $F$ can be considered as an abstract Fourier transform. We show that $F$ coincides with the Fourier-Wiener transform. Using the Fourier-Wiener transform we define pseudodifferential operators in Weyl- and Kohn-Nirenberg form on our Hilbert space rigging. In the case of this Gaussian measure $gamma$ we discuss several possible Laplacians, at first the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator and then pseudo-differential operators with negative definite symbol. In the second case, these operators are generators of $L^2_gamma$-sub-Markovian semi-groups and $L^2_gamma$-Dirichlet-forms. In 1992 Gramsch, Ueberberg and Wagner described a construction of generalized Hörmander classes by commutator methods. Following this concept and the classical finite dimensional description of $Psi_{ro,delta}^0$ ($0leqdeltaleqroleq 1$, $delta< 1$) in the $C^*$-algebra $L(L^2)$ by Beals and Cordes we construct in both cases generalized Hörmander classes, which are $Psi^*$-algebras. These classes act on a scale of Sobolev spaces, generated by our Laplacian. In the case of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator, we prove that a large class of continuous pseudodifferential operators considered by Albeverio and Dalecky in 1998 is contained in our generalized Hörmander class. Furthermore, in the case of a Laplacian with negative definite symbol, we develop a symbolic calculus for our operators. We show some Fredholm-criteria for them and prove that these Fredholm-operators are hypoelliptic. Moreover, in the finite dimensional case, using the Gaussian-measure instead of the Lebesgue-measure the index of these Fredholm operators is still given by Fedosov's formula. Considering an infinite dimensional Heisenberg group rigging we discuss the connection of some representations of the Heisenberg group to pseudo-differential operators on infinite dimensional spaces. We use this connections to calculate the spectrum of pseudodifferential operators and to construct generalized Hörmander classes given by smooth elements which are spectrally invariant in $L^2(H_-,gamma)$. Finally, given a topological space $X$ with Borel measure $mu$, a locally compact group $G$ and a representation $B$ of $G$ in the group of all homeomorphisms of $X$, we construct a Borel measure $mu_s$ on $X$ which is invariant under $B(G)$.

Teoria spettrale in spazi di Hilbert

In questa tesi ci si occuperà di presentare alcuni aspetti salienti della teoria spettrale per gli operatori limitati negli spazi di Hilbert. Nel primo capitolo verranno presentate alcune nozioni fondamentali di analisi funzionale, necessarie per lo studio degli operatori. Il secondo capitolo si occupa invece di analizzare la teoria spettrale per operatori compatti. In particolare, verrà presentato il Teorema Spettrale per Operatori Normali Compatti e il Teorema dell'Alternativa di Fredholm. In seguito verrà applicata tale teoria alla risolubilità del problema di Dirichlet. Nel terzo capitolo verrà esteso quanto ottenuto per gli operatori compatti ad operatori limitati autoaggiunti e per gli operatori normali limitati, passando attraverso le famiglie spettrali.

Deriving Deligne-Mumford stacks with perfect obstruction theories

Intersection theory on moduli spaces has lead to immense progress in certain areas of enumerative geometry. For some important areas, most notably counting stable maps and counting stable sheaves, it is important to work with a virtual fundamental class instead of the usual fundamental class of the moduli space. The crucial prerequisite for the existence of such a class is a two-term complex controlling deformations of the moduli space. Kontsevich conjectured in 1994 that there should exist derived version of spaces with this specific property. Another hint at the existence of these spaces comes from derived algebraic geometry. It is expected that for every pair of a space and a complex controlling deformations of the space their exists, under some additional hypothesis, a derived version of the space having the chosen complex as cotangent complex. In this thesis one version of these additional hypothesis is identified. We then show that every space admitting a two-term complex controlling deformations satisfies these hypothesis, and we finally construct the derived spaces.

Hilbert transform

The Hilbert transform is an important tool in both pure and applied mathematics. It is largely used in the field of signal processing. Lately has been used in mathematical finance as the fast Hilbert transform method is an efficient and accurate algorithm for pricing discretely monitored barrier and Bermudan style options. The purpose of this report is to show the basic properties of the Hilbert transform and to check the domain of definition of this operator.

Questo lavoro prende in esame lo schema di Hilbert di punti di C^2, il quale viene descritto assieme ad alcune sue proprietà, ad esempio la sua struttura hyper-kahleriana. Lo scopo della tesi è lo studio del polinomio di Poincaré di tale schema di Hilbert: ciò che si ottiene è una espressione del tipo serie di potenze, la quale è un caso particolare di una formula molto più generale, nota con il nome di formula di Goettsche.

Knowledge Creation as a Square Dance on the Hilbert Cube

This paper presents a micro-model of knowledge creation and transfer in a small group of people. Our model incorporates two key aspects of the cooperative process of knowledge creation: (i) heterogeneity of people in their state of knowledge is essential for successful cooperation in the joint creation of new ideas, while (ii) the very process of cooperative knowledge creation a¤ects the heterogeneity of people through the accumulation of knowledge in common. The model features myopic agents in a pure externality model of interaction. In the two person case, we show that the equilibrium process tends to result in the accumulation of too much knowledge in common compared to the most productive state. Unlike the two-person case, in the four person case we show that the equilibrium process of knowledge creation may converge to the most productive state. Equilibrium paths are found analytically, and they are a discontinuous function of initial heterogeneity.

First-order equivalent to Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian

A first-order Lagrangian L ∇ variationally equivalent to the second-order Einstein- Hilbert Lagrangian is introduced. Such a Lagrangian depends on a symmetric linear connection, but the dependence is covariant under diffeomorphisms. The variational problem defined by L ∇ is proved to be regular and its Hamiltonian formulation is studied, including its covariant Hamiltonian attached to ∇ .

Sistemas integrables discretos, polinomios matriciales ortogonales y problemas de Riemann-Hilbert

El propósito de esta tesis doctoral es el estudio de la conexión, mediante el problema de Riemann-Hilbert, entre sistemas discretos y la teoría de polinomios matriciales ortogonales. La investigación de los modelos integrables se originó en la Mecánica Clásica, en relación a la resolución de las ecuaciones de Newton [2]. Los trabajos de Liouville, Hamilton, Jacobi y otros sentaron las bases de los sistemas integrables como prototipos modelos resolubles por cuadraturas, v.g., por integración directa [7]. Hay una cantidad importante de investigación dedicada a los aspectos geométricos de los sistemas clásicos integrables y superintegrables [66], [82], especialmente en relación a la separación de variables de la ecuación de Hamilton-Jacobi [75]. Fue la aplicación, en la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, de la transformada espectral inversa para la resolución del problema de Cauchy de la ecuación de Korteweg-de Vries [42, 43] la que marcó el inicio de una nueva etapa en este campo, el del estudio de sistemas integrables con un número infinito de grados de libertad, que generalmente se expresan en términos de jerarquías de ecuaciones no lineales en derivadas parciales. Particularmente reseñable, por su aplicación en la hidrodinámica y en la óptica cuántica, es la aparición de las soluciones a un número de solitones arbitrario. En las últimas tres décadas ha habido un importante interés por el estudio de modelos discretos, v.g., sistemas dinámicos de nidos en un retículo de puntos, y expresados en términos de ecuaciones no lineales en diferencia parciales. Muchas de las técnicas encontradas en el mundo continuo se extendieron a este nuevo contexto discreto. Hay dos razones fundamentales para este interés...
