  • The Weil Proof and the Geometry of the Adèles Class Space
    The Weil Proof and the Geometry of the Adèles Class Space Alain Connes,1 Caterina Consani,2 and Matilde Marcolli3 1 Collège de France, 3, rue d’Ulm, Paris, F-75005 France [email protected] 2 Mathematics Department, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218 USA [email protected] 3 Department of Mathematics, California Institute of Technology 1200 E California Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101, USA [email protected] Dedicated to Yuri Manin on the occasion of his 70th birthday O simili o dissimili che sieno questi mondi non con minor raggione sarebe bene a l’uno l’essere che a l’altro Giordano Bruno – De l’infinito, universo e mondi Summary. This paper explores analogies between the Weil proof of the Riemann hypothesis for function fields and the geometry of the adèles class space, which is the noncommutative space underlying Connes’ spectral realization of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We consider the cyclic homology of the cokernel (in the abelian category of cyclic modules) of the “restriction map” defined by the inclu- sion of the idèles class group of a global field in the noncommutative adèles class space. Weil’s explicit formula can then be formulated as a Lefschetz trace formula for the induced action of the idèles class group on this cohomology. In this formu- lation the Riemann hypothesis becomes equivalent to the positivity of the relevant trace pairing. This result suggests a possible dictionary between the steps in the Weil proof and corresponding notions involving the noncommutative geometry of the adèles class space, with good working notions of correspondences, degree, and codegree etc.

We derive explicit expressions for the distributions of the extreme eigenvalues of the Beta-Wishart random matrices in terms of the hypergeometric function of a matrix argument. These results generalize the classical results for the real (β = 1), complex (β = 2), and quaternion (β = 4) Wishart matrices to any β > 0.

Introduction. Recently, the classical real (β = 1), complex (β = 2), and quaternion (β = 4) Wishart random matrix ensembles were generalized to any β > 0 by what is now called the Beta{Wishart ensemble [2, 9]. In this paper we derive the explicit distributions for the extreme eigenvalues and the trace of this ensemble as series of Jack functions and, in particular, in terms of the hypergeometric function of matrix argument.

  • The Random Matrix Technique of Ghosts and Shadows
    The Random Matrix Technique of Ghosts and Shadows Alan Edelman November 22, 2009 Abstract We propose to abandon the notion that a random matrix has to be sampled for it to exist. Much of today's applied nite random matrix theory concerns real or complex random matrices (β = 1; 2). The threefold way so named by Dyson in 1962 [2] adds quaternions (β = 4). While it is true there are only three real division algebras (β=dimension over the reals), this mathematical fact while critical in some ways, in other ways is irrelevant and perhaps has been over interpreted over the decades. We introduce the notion of a ghost random matrix quantity that exists for every beta, and a shadow quantity which may be real or complex which allows for computation. Any number of computations have successfully given reasonable answers to date though diculties remain in some cases. Though it may seem absurd to have a three and a quarter dimensional or pi dimensional algebra, that is exactly what we propose and what we compute with. In the end β becomes a noisiness parameter rather than a dimension. 1 Introduction This conference article contains an idea which has become a technique. Perhaps it might be labeled a conjecture, but I think idea is the better label right now. The idea was discussed informally to a number of researchers and students at MIT for a number of years now, probably dating back to 2003 or so. It was also presented at a number of conferences [3] . As slides do not quite capture a talk, this seemed a good place to write down the ideas.

Briefs are available in print but are intended as a primarily electronic publication to be included in Springer’s e-book package. Typical works might include: • An extended survey of a field • A link between new research papers published in journal articles • A presentation of core concepts that doctoral students must understand in order to make independent contributions • Lecture notes making a specialist topic accessible for non-specialist readers. SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics showcase, in a compact format, topics of current relevance in the field of mathematical physics. Published titles will encompass all areas of theoretical and mathematical physics.

  • Professor Herbert Walther (1935-2006)
    Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 59, No. 1, P. 3–4, 2007 IN MEMORIAM Professor Herbert Walther (1935-2006) Professor Herbert Walther, director and founder of Max-Planck Institut for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, passed from this world on 22 July 2006, in Munich. He was an outstanding researcher of the physics of LIGHT, an exceptional Man and Friend, an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy, a member of the Editorial board of the “Romanian Reports in Physics” and one of the strongest supporters of the “ROMOPTO” conferences. Professor Herbert Walther was born on 19 January 1935, in Ludwigshafen/ Rhine. He studied Physics at the University of Heidelberg, where he received the diploma in 1960 and obtained a doctorate two years later. Research work led him to the University of Hanover, to the Laboratoire Aimé Cotton (CNRS) in Orsay and to the Joint Laboratory of Astrophysics in Boulder, Colorado. He received positions of Professor at the University of Bonn in 1971, then at the University of Cologne. Since 1975, to his retirement in 2003, he held up the chair for Experimental Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University, in Munich, 2003. In 1976, Prof. Walther, together with Prof. Karl-Ludwig Kompa and Dr. S. Witkowski, formed the project group “Laser Research” in the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching. Five years later, the project group became an institute and in 1986 it took the name of MPQ, with the new location in Kopfermann Strasse. Professor Walther was a director at the MPQ and director/head of the Department of Laser Physics until his “Emeritierung”, in February 2003.
