Après avoir introduit une bonne notion de p énergie, on donne une définition possible d’espace de Sobolev et on prouve un théorème d’existence des p minimiseurs. Puis on considère les fonctions bivaluées de deux variables, stationnaires pour les déformations au départ et à l’arrivée. On démontre qu’elles sont localement lipschitziennes et on utilise cette régularité pour montrer la convergence forte dans W 1,2 vers leur unique éclatement en un point. L’ensemble de branchement d’une telle fonction est la réunion localement finie de courbes analytiques qui se rencontrent en faisant des angles égaux. Nous donnons aussi un exemple de fonction discontinue et stationnaire seulement pour les déformations au départ. Dans un deuxième temps, on prouve qu’il n’existe pas de rétraction uniformément continue de l’espace des champs vectoriels continus vers le sous-espace de ceux dont la divergence est nulle en un sens distributionnel. On généralise ce résultat en toute codimension en utilisant la notion de m charge et à tout ensemble X Rn vérifiant une hypothèse géométrique mineure. ⊂ Keywords : Stationary multiple valued function, branch set, normal currents, charges, metric calibrations. Abstract We study multiple valued functions with values in a Hilbert space. We introduce a possible definition of Sobolev spaces and the rightful notion of p energy. We prove the existence of p minimizers. Then we consider two-valued real functions of two variables which are station- ary with respect to both domain and range transformations. We prove their local Lipschitz continuity and use it to establish strong convergence in W 1,2 to their unique blow-up at any point. We claim that the branch set of any such function consists of finitely many real analytic curves meeting at nod points with equal angles. We also provide an example showing that stationarity with respect to domain transformations only does not imply continuity. In a second part, we prove that there does not exist a uniformly continuous retraction from the space of continuous vector fields onto the subspace of vector fields whose divergence vanishes in the distributional sense. We then generalise this result using the concept of m charges on any subset X Rn satisfying a mild geometric condition, there is no uniformly ⊂ continuous representation operator for mcharges in X.

The Plateau problem amounts to asking what are the possible shapes it can assume. The liquid surface acts as an elastic membrane. In a first time, we can say that the total surface energy of such a soap film is proportionnal to its area, though such a statement leaves behind situations with multiple sheets. A shape is a physical solution of the Plateau problem only if it cannot change to a configuration with less energy. Therefore, we will be interested in certain generalized surfaces of R3 that are stable, i.e stable critical points of the area functional. The first physicist to have studied the geometry of soap films appears to be the Belgian Joseph Plateau. In his honor, various mathematical questions dealing with the geometry of soap-film-like surfaces are referred to as the Plateau problem. The first difficulty is that there is no universal agreement on what is meant by a “surface” and its “area”. Here is a list of different formulations, to see how this problem led to a bushy mathematical literature 9 • immersed surfaces: the first progress in this direction was independently achieved in the thirties by Tibor Radó and Jesse Douglas. Both relied on setting up mini- mization problems and complex analysis. However, their work does not extend in higher dimensions. • sets with finite perimeter, introduced by De Giorgi. • rectifiable currents: introduced by Federer and Flemming. They generalize sets with finite perimeter to codimensions greater than 1. • varifolds: they can useful for the study of stationary surfaces which are not nec- essarily minimizing. However, they lack a boundary operator. • Almgren’s (M, 0, δ) minimal sets: they are accurate models of physical solutions, but the lack of a compactness theorem makes it difficult to prove the existence of an area minimizer. Establishing the existence and regularity of solutions to the Plateau problem in general dimensions and codimensions is one of the most challenging problem in geometric measure theory. In the eighties, Frederick J. Almgren proved the following theorem: Theorem 1. Let T be an m dimensional mass minimizing current in Rn. Consider the set reg(T ) of all points x supp T supp ∂T for which there exists an open neighborhood U of x such that supp T ∈ supp ∂T\ U is an C∞ manifold. Then the set sing(T ) := supp T (supp ∂T reg(T\)) has Hausdorff∩ dimension less than m 2. \ ∪ − This theorem is optimal, as shown by the case of complex varieties. Its proof has required development of several new geometric and analytic techniques, central among which is the utilization of multiple valued functions to study branching phenomena. We believe stationary varifolds can be well approximated by stationary multiple valued functions, and that one can deduce from this approximation some regularity results. The following question is open, even in the case Q = 2. Conjecture 1. Suppose (A) V is a 2 dimensional stationary varifold in R3 with integer multiplicities, (B) ε [0, 1), Q N∗, ∈ ∈ (C) V B3(0, 1) π(Q + ε) k k ≤ Then there exists γ (0, 1) such that H 2(sing V B3(0, γ)) = 0. ∈ ∩ Multiple valued functions Let Y be a metric space and Q be an integer. We define QQ(Y ) to be the subset of measures in Y : Q Q (Y ) := y : y , . , y Y . Q i 1 Q ∈ Xi=1 J K 10 We will adopt the compact notation Q y1, . , yQ = yi .

    Grothendieck's Theorem, Past and Present

    Grothendieck’s Theorem, past and present by Gilles Pisier∗ Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843, U. S. A. and Universit´eParis VI Equipe d’Analyse, Case 186, 75252 Paris Cedex 05, France January 26, 2011 Abstract Probably the most famous of Grothendieck’s contributions to Banach space theory is the result that he himself described as “the fundamental theorem in the metric theory of tensor products”. That is now commonly referred to as “Grothendieck’s theorem” (GT in short), or sometimes as “Grothendieck’s inequality”. This had a major impact first in Banach space theory (roughly after 1968), then, later on, in C∗-algebra theory, (roughly after 1978). More recently, in this millennium, a new version of GT has been successfully developed in the framework of “operator spaces” or non-commutative Banach spaces. In addition, GT independently surfaced in several quite unrelated fields: in connection with Bell’s inequality in quantum mechanics, in graph theory where the Grothendieck constant of a graph has been introduced and in computer science where the Grothendieck inequality is invoked to replace certain NP hard problems by others that can be treated by “semidefinite programming’ and hence solved in polynomial time. In this expository paper, we present a review of all these topics, starting from the original GT. We concentrate on the more recent developments and merely outline those of the first Banach space period since detailed accounts of that are already available, for instance the author’s 1986 CBMS notes. ∗Partially supported by NSF grant 0503688 Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Classical GT 7 3 The Grothendieck constants 15 4 The Hahn-Banach argument 17 5 The “little” GT 20 6 Banach spaces satisfying GT and operator ideals 22 7 Non-commutative GT 23 8 Non-commutative “little GT” 25 9 Non-commutative Khintchine inequality 26 10 Maurey factorization 32 11 Best constants (Non-commutative case) 33 12 C∗-algebra tensor products, Nuclearity 35 13 Operator spaces, c.b.

    Grothendieck Proved a Theorem That He Called “Le Th´Eor`Eme Fondamental De La Th´Eoriemetrique Des Produits Tensoriels”

    THE GROTHENDIECK CONSTANT IS STRICTLY SMALLER THAN KRIVINE'S BOUND MARK BRAVERMAN, KONSTANTIN MAKARYCHEV, YURY MAKARYCHEV, AND ASSAF NAOR Abstract. The (real) Grothendieck constant KG is the infimum over those K 2 (0; 1) such that for every m; n 2 N and every m × n real matrix (aij) we have m n m n X X X X max aijhxi; yji 6 K max aij"iδj: fx gm ;fy gn ⊆Sn+m−1 f" gm ;fδ gn ⊆{−1;1g i i=1 j j=1 i=1 j=1 i i=1 j j=1 i=1 j=1 The classical Grothendieck inequality asserts the non-obvious fact that the above inequal- ity does hold true for some K 2 (0; 1) that is independent of m; n and (aij). Since Grothendieck's 1953 discovery of this powerful theorem, it has found numerous applica- tions in a variety of areas, but despite attracting a lot of attention, the exact value of the Grothendieck constant KG remains a mystery. The last progress on this problem was in 1977, when Krivine proved that K π p and conjectured that his bound is opti- G 6 2 log(1+ 2) mal. Krivine's conjecture has been restated repeatedly since 1977, resulting in focusing the subsequent research on the search for examples of matrices (aij) which exhibit (asymptot- ically, as m; n ! 1) a lower bound on KG that matches Krivine's bound. Here we obtain an improved Grothendieck inequality that holds for all matrices (aij) and yields a bound K < π p − " for some effective constant " > 0.

    THEORY OF COMPUTING, Volume 10 (4), 2014, pp. 77–105 www.theoryofcomputing.org Grothendieck Inequalities for Semidefinite Programs with Rank Constraint Jop Briët∗ Fernando Mário de Oliveira Filho† Frank Vallentin‡ Received May 4, 2012; Revised January 21, 2014; Published May 31, 2014 Abstract: Grothendieck inequalities are fundamental inequalities which are frequently used in many areas of mathematics and computer science. They can be interpreted as upper bounds for the integrality gap between two optimization problems: a difficult semidefinite program with rank-1 constraint and its easy semidefinite relaxation where the rank constraint is dropped. For instance, the integrality gap of the Goemans-Williamson approximation algorithm for MAX CUT can be seen as a Grothendieck inequality. In this paper we consider Grothendieck inequalities for ranks greater than 1 and we give two applications: approximating ground states in the n-vector model in statistical mechanics and XOR games in quantum information theory.

    Grothendieck’s inequalities for real and complex JBW*-triples Antonio M. Peralta∗ and Angel Rodr´ıguezPalacios† Abstract √ We prove that, if M > 4(1 + 2 3) and ε > 0, if V and W are complex JBW*-triples (with preduals V∗ and W∗, respectively), and if U is a separately weak*-continuous bilinear form on V ×W, then there exist norm-one functionals ϕ1, ϕ2 ∈ V∗ and ψ1, ψ2 ∈ W∗ satisfying 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 |U(x, y)| ≤ M kUk kxkϕ2 + ε kxkϕ1 kykψ2 + ε kykψ1 for all (x, y) ∈ V ×W.

  • Kirszbraun's Theorem

    Kirszbraun's Theorem

    Version of 14.9.18 Kirszbraun’s theorem D.H.Fremlin University of Essex, Colchester, England Wikipedia gives a statement of this theorem and an outline of its history, but no online source for the proof. It’s so pretty that I write one out here. 1 The essential ideas 1A The context I’ll come to the actual statement of the theorem, taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Kirszbraun theorem, in 1G below. This will be in the standard full-generality form concerning Lipschitz maps between (real) Hilbert spaces H1 and H2. If you aren’t familiar with ‘Hilbert spaces’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert space), then you will probably prefer to start by taking both n H1 and H2 to be a Euclidean space R , with the inner product n (x y)= x.y = ξiηi | Pi=1 n if x =(ξ1,... ,ξn) and y =(η1,... ,ηn) belong to R , and the norm x = (x x)= n ξ2, k k p | pPi=1 i so that n 2 x y = (ξi ηi) k − k pPi=1 − is the Euclidean distance from x to y calculated with the n-dimensional version of Pythagoras’ theorem. In fact all the really interesting ideas of the proof, in 1B-1F below, are needed for the two-dimensional case n = 2. (The case n = 1 is much easier, as noted in Wikipedia.) I do have to warn you, however, that ordinary proofs of Kirszbraun’s theorem involve ‘Tychonoff’s theorem’ (see 2B below), and unless the words ‘topology’, ‘compact set’ and ‘continuous function’ mean something to you, you are going to have a good deal of work to do to understand the ‘first proof’ offered in 2.

Some consequences are ob- tained and, in particular, we establish new inclusion theorems for multiple sum- ming operators. Of independent interest, we settle all Grothendieck’s type (ℓ1, ℓ2) theorems for multilinear operators. We further employ the new regularity principle to solve the classification problem concerning all pairs of admissible exponents in the anisotropic Hardy–Littlewood inequality.

  • Challenges in Hadamard Spaces 3

    Challenges in Hadamard Spaces 3

    OLD AND NEW CHALLENGES IN HADAMARD SPACES MIROSLAV BACˇAK´ Abstract. Hadamard spaces have traditionally played important roles in geometry and geometric group theory. More recently, they have additionally turned out to be a suitable framework for convex analysis, optimization and nonlinear probability theory. The attractiveness of these emerging subject fields stems, inter alia, from the fact that some of the new results have already found their applications both in math- ematics and outside. Most remarkably, a gradient flow theorem in Hadamard spaces was used to attack a conjecture of Donaldson in K¨ahler geometry. Other areas of applications include metric geometry and minimization of submodular functions on modular lattices. There have been also applications into computational phylogenetics and imaging. We survey recent developments in Hadamard space analysis and optimization with the intention to advertise various open problems in the area. We also point out several fallacies in the existing proofs. 1. Introduction The present paper is a follow-up to the 2014 book [16] with the aim to present new advances in the theory of Hadamard spaces and their applications. We focus primarily on analysis and optimization, because their current development stage is, in our opinion, very favorable. On the one hand, these subject fields are very young and offer many new possibilities for further research, and on the other hand, the existing theory is already mature enough to be applied elsewhere. We will highlight the most notable applications including a conjecture of Donaldson on the asymptotic behavior of the Calabi flow in K¨ahler geometry, • the existence of Lipschitz retractions in Finite Subset Space, • submodular function minimization on modular lattices, • computing averages of trees in phylogenetics, • computing averages of positive definite matrices in Diffusion Tensor Imaging.

Communicated by the Editors Received October 27, 1976; revised April 17, 1977 We study a conjecture of Grothendieck on bilinear forms on a C*-algebra @. We prove that every “approximable” operator from /X into oT* factors through a Ililbert space, and we describe the factorization. In the commutative case, this is known as Grothendieck’s theorem. These results enable us to prove a con- jecture of Ringrose on operators on a C*-algebra. In the Appendix, we present a new proof of Grothendieck’s inequality which gives an improved upper bound for the so-called Grothendieck constant KG. One of the various reformulations of Grothendieck’s “fundamental theorem of the metric theory of tensor products” is as follows: Let M be a locally compact space and let C(M) denote the Banach space of continuous functions on M which tend to zero at infinity. For any bounded bilinear form u on C(M) x C(M), there exist probability measures A, p on M such that where K is an absolute constant, the best value of which is referred to as Grothen- dieck’s constant: KG . In [2, Question 4, p. 731 Grothendieck asked if one can replace in the above theorem the space C(M) by a C*-algebra 0T, the concIusion being changed to V(N, y) E Gr x a, I 4~ r)l < K II u IIMI x I’) .
