Real Soliton Lattices of the Kadomtsev Petviashvili II Equation and Desingularization of Spectral Curves: The GrTP(2, 4) Case

Abenda S., Grinevich P.G.

Abstract

We apply the general construction developed in our previous papers to the first nontrivial case of GrTP(2, 4). In particular, we construct finite-gap real quasi-periodic solutions of the KP-II equation in the form of a soliton lattice corresponding to a smooth M-curve of genus 4 which is a desingularization of a reducible rational M-curve for soliton data in GrTP(2, 4).

Torus Actions of Complexity 1 and Their Local Properties

Ayzenberg A.A.

Abstract

We consider an effective action of a compact (n − 1)-torus on a smooth 2n-manifold with isolated fixed points. We prove that under certain conditions the orbit space is a closed topological manifold. In particular, this holds for certain torus actions with disconnected stabilizers. There is a filtration of the orbit manifold by orbit dimensions. The subset of orbits of dimensions less than n − 1 has a specific topology, which is axiomatized in the notion of a sponge. In many cases the original manifold can be recovered from its orbit manifold, the sponge, and the weights of tangent representations at fixed points. We elaborate on the introduced notions using specific examples: the Grassmann manifold G4,2, the complete flag manifold F3, and quasitoric manifolds with an induced action of a subtorus of complexity 1.

Hirzebruch Functional Equation: Classification of Solutions

Bunkova E.Y.

Abstract

The Hirzebruch functional equation is \(\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^n {\prod\nolimits_{j \ne i} {(1/f({z_j} - {z_i})) = c} } \) with constant c and initial conditions f(0) = 0 and f'(0) = 1. In this paper we find all solutions of the Hirzebruch functional equation for n ≤ 6 in the class of meromorphic functions and in the class of series. Previously, such results have been known only for n ≤ 4. The Todd function is the function determining the two-parameter Todd genus (i.e., the χa,b-genus). It gives a solution to the Hirzebruch functional equation for any n. The elliptic function of level N is the function determining the elliptic genus of level N. It gives a solution to the Hirzebruch functional equation for n divisible by N. A series corresponding to a meromorphic function f with parameters in U ⊂ ℂk is a series with parameters in the Zariski closure of U in ℂk, such that for the parameters in U it coincides with the series expansion at zero of f. The main results are as follows: (1) Any series solution of the Hirzebruch functional equation for n = 5 corresponds either to the Todd function or to the elliptic function of level 5. (2) Any series solution of the Hirzebruch functional equation for n = 6 corresponds either to the Todd function or to the elliptic function of level 2, 3, or 6. This gives a complete classification of complex genera that are fiber multiplicative with respect to ℂPn−1 for n ≤ 6. A topological application of this study is an effective calculation of the coefficients of elliptic genera of level N for N = 2,..., 6 in terms of solutions of a differential equation with parameters in an irreducible algebraic variety in ℂ4.

Cobordisms, Manifolds with Torus Action, and Functional Equations

Buchstaber V.M.

Abstract

The paper is devoted to applications of functional equations to well-known problems of compact torus actions on oriented smooth manifolds. These include the problem of Hirzebruch genera of complex cobordism classes that are determined by complex, almost complex, and stably complex structures on a fixed manifold. We consider actions with connected stabilizer subgroups. For each such action with isolated fixed points, we introduce rigidity functional equations. This is based on the localization theorem for equivariant Hirzebruch genera. We consider actions of maximal tori on homogeneous spaces of compact Lie groups and torus actions on toric and quasitoric manifolds. The arising class of equations contains both classical and new functional equations that play an important role in modern mathematical physics.

Microformal Geometry and Homotopy Algebras

Voronov T.T.

Abstract

We extend the category of (super)manifolds and their smooth mappings by introducing a notion of microformal, or “thick,” morphisms. They are formal canonical relations of a special form, constructed with the help of formal power expansions in cotangent directions. The result is a formal category so that its composition law is also specified by a formal power series. A microformal morphism acts on functions by an operation of pullback, which is in general a nonlinear transformation. More precisely, it is a formal mapping of formal manifolds of even functions (bosonic fields), which has the property that its derivative for every function is a ring homomorphism. This suggests an abstract notion of a “nonlinear algebra homomorphism” and the corresponding extension of the classical “algebraic–functional” duality. There is a parallel fermionic version. The obtained formalism provides a general construction of L-morphisms for functions on homotopy Poisson (P) or homotopy Schouten (S) manifolds as pullbacks by Poisson microformal morphisms. We also show that the notion of the adjoint can be generalized to nonlinear operators as a microformal morphism. By applying this to L-algebroids, we show that an L-morphism of L-algebroids induces an L-morphism of the “homotopy Lie–Poisson” brackets for functions on the dual vector bundles. We apply this construction to higher Koszul brackets on differential forms and to triangular L-bialgebroids. We also develop a quantum version (for the bosonic case), whose relation to the classical version is like that of the Schrödinger equation to the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. We show that the nonlinear pullbacks by microformal morphisms are the limits as ħ → 0 of certain “quantum pullbacks,” which are defined as special form Fourier integral operators.

Dehn Invariant and Scissors Congruence of Flexible Polyhedra

Gaifullin A.A., Ignashchenko L.S.

Abstract

We prove that the Dehn invariant of any flexible polyhedron in n-dimensional Euclidean space, where n ≥ 3, is constant during the flexion. For n = 3 and 4 this implies that any flexible polyhedron remains scissors congruent to itself during the flexion. This proves the Strong Bellows Conjecture posed by R. Connelly in 1979. It was believed that this conjecture was disproved by V. Alexandrov and R. Connelly in 2009. However, we find an error in their counterexample. Further, we show that the Dehn invariant of a flexible polyhedron in the n-dimensional sphere or n-dimensional Lobachevsky space, where n ≥ 3, is constant during the flexion whenever this polyhedron satisfies the usual Bellows Conjecture, i.e., whenever its volume is constant during every flexion of it. Using previous results of the first named author, we deduce that the Dehn invariant is constant during the flexion for every bounded flexible polyhedron in odd-dimensional Lobachevsky space and for every flexible polyhedron with sufficiently small edge lengths in any space of constant curvature of dimension at least 3.

Integration over the Space of Functions and Poincaré Series Revisited

Gusein-Zade S.M., Delgado F., Campillo A.

Abstract

Earlier (2000) the authors introduced the notion of the integral with respect to the Euler characteristic over the space of germs of functions on a variety and over its projectivization. This notion allowed the authors to rewrite known definitions and statements in new terms and also turned out to be an effective tool for computing the Poincar´e series of multi-index filtrations in some situations. However, the “classical” (initial) notion can be applied only to multi-index filtrations defined by so-called finitely determined valuations (or order functions). Here we introduce a modified version of the notion of the integral with respect to the Euler characteristic over the projectivization of the space of function germs. This version can be applied in a number of settings where the “classical approach” does not work. We give examples of the application of this concept to definitions and computations of the Poincar´e series (including equivariant ones) of collections of plane valuations which contain valuations not centred at the origin.

Delone Sets in ℝ3 with 2R-Regularity Conditions

Dolbilin N.P.

Abstract

A regular system is the orbit of a point with respect to a crystallographic group. The central problem of the local theory of regular systems is to determine the value of the regularity radius, which is the least number such that every Delone set of type (r,R) with identical neighborhoods/clusters of this radius is regular. In this paper, conditions are described under which the regularity of a Delone set in three-dimensional Euclidean space follows from the pairwise congruence of small clusters of radius 2R. Combined with the analysis of one particular case, this result also implies the proof of the “10R-theorem,” which states that if the clusters of radius 10R in a Delone set are congruent, then this set is regular.

Bounded Discrete Holomorphic Functions on the Hyperbolic Plane

Dynnikov I.A.

Abstract

It is shown that, for the discretization of complex analysis introduced earlier by S. P. Novikov and the present author, there exists a rich family of bounded discrete holomorphic functions on the hyperbolic (Lobachevsky) plane endowed with a triangulation by regular triangles whose vertices have even valence. Namely, it is shown that every discrete holomorphic function defined in a bounded convex domain can be extended to a bounded discrete holomorphic function on the whole hyperbolic plane so that the Dirichlet energy be finite.

Integrable 3D Statistical Models on Six-Valent Graphs

Korepanov I.G., Talalaev D.V., Sharygin G.I.

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of a special statistical model on graphs with vertices of degrees 6 and 1. We show that this model is invariant with respect to certain Roseman moves if one regards the graph as the singular point set of the diagram of a 2-knot. Our approach is based on the properties of the tetrahedron cohomology complex.

Darboux System: Liouville Reduction and an Explicit Solution

Kulaev R.C., Pogrebkov A.K., Shabat A.B.

Abstract

For a Darboux system in ℝ3, we introduce a class of solutions for which an auxiliary second-order linear problem satisfies the factorization condition. We show that this reduction provides the (local) solvability of the Darboux system, and present an explicit solution to this problem for two types of dependent variables. We also construct explicit formulas for the Lamé coefficients and solutions to the associated linear problem. The previously known reduction to a weakly nonlinear system is shown to be a particular case of the approach proposed.

Calabi Yau Hypersurfaces and SU-Bordism

Limonchenko I.Y., Lü Z., Panov T.E.

Abstract

V. V. Batyrev constructed a family of Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces dual to the first Chern class in toric Fano varieties. Using this construction, we introduce a family of Calabi–Yau manifolds whose SU-bordism classes generate the special unitary bordism ring \({\Omega ^{SU}}[\frac{1}{2}] \cong Z[\frac{1}{2}][{y_i}:i \geqslant 2]\). We also describe explicit Calabi–Yau representatives for multiplicative generators of the SU-bordism ring in low dimensions.

The Theory of Closed 1-Forms, Levels of Quasiperiodic Functions and Transport Phenomena in Electron Systems

Maltsev A.Y., Novikov S.P.

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the applications of the theory of dynamical systems to the theory of transport phenomena in metals in the presence of strong magnetic fields. More precisely, we consider the connection between the geometry of the trajectories of dynamical systems arising at the Fermi surface in the presence of an external magnetic field and the behavior of the conductivity tensor in a metal in the limit ωBτ →∞. We describe the history of the question and investigate special features of such behavior in the case of the appearance of trajectories of the most complex type on the Fermi surface of a metal.

Polynomial Lie Algebras and Growth of Their Finitely Generated Lie Subalgebras

Millionshchikov D.V.

Abstract

The concept of polynomial Lie algebra of finite rank was introduced by V. M. Buchstaber in his studies of new relationships between hyperelliptic functions and the theory of integrable systems. In this paper we prove the following theorem: the Lie subalgebra generated by the frame of a polynomial Lie algebra of finite rank has at most polynomial growth. In addition, important examples of polynomial Lie algebras of countable rank are considered in the paper. Such Lie algebras arise in the study of certain hyperbolic partial differential equations, as well as in the construction of self-similar infinite-dimensional Lie algebras (such as the Fibonacci algebra).

Integrability of Exceptional Hydrodynamic-Type Systems

Pavlov M.V.

Abstract

We consider non-diagonalizable hydrodynamic-type systems integrable by the extended hodograph method. We restrict the analysis to non-diagonalizable hydrodynamic reductions of the three-dimensionalMikhalev equation. We show that families of these hydrodynamictype systems are reducible to the heat hierarchy. Then we construct new particular explicit solutions for the Mikhalev equation.

Groups of S-Units and the Problem of Periodicity of Continued Fractions in Hyperelliptic Fields

Platonov V.P., Petrunin M.M.

Abstract

We construct a theory of periodic and quasiperiodic functional continued fractions in the field k((h)) for a linear polynomial h and in hyperelliptic fields. In addition, we establish a relationship between continued fractions in hyperelliptic fields, torsion in the Jacobians of the corresponding hyperelliptic curves, and S-units for appropriate sets S. We prove the periodicity of quasiperiodic elements of the form \(\sqrt f /d{h^s}\), where s is an integer, the polynomial f defines a hyperelliptic field, and the polynomial d is a divisor of f; such elements are important from the viewpoint of the torsion and periodicity problems. In particular, we show that the quasiperiodic element \(\sqrt f \) is periodic. We also analyze the continued fraction expansion of the key element \(\sqrt f /{h^{g + 1}}\), which defines the set of quasiperiodic elements of a hyperelliptic field.

Quasitoric Totally Normally Split Manifolds

Solomadin G.D.

Abstract

A smooth stably complex manifold is called a totally tangentially/normally split manifold (TTS/TNS manifold for short) if the respective complex tangential/normal vector bundle is stably isomorphic to a Whitney sum of complex line bundles, respectively. In this paper we construct manifolds M such that any complex vector bundle over M is stably equivalent to a Whitney sum of complex line bundles. A quasitoric manifold shares this property if and only if it is a TNS manifold. We establish a new criterion for a quasitoric manifold M to be TNS via non-semidefiniteness of certain higher degree forms in the respective cohomology ring of M. In the family of quasitoric manifolds, this generalizes the theorem of J. Lannes about the signature of a simply connected stably complex TNS 4-manifold. We apply our criterion to show the flag property of the moment polytope for a nonsingular toric projective TNS manifold of complex dimension 3.
