    A Tribute to Henri Cartan

    A Tribute to Henri Cartan This collection of articles paying tribute to the mathematician Henri Cartan was assembled and edited by Pierre Cartier, IHÉS, and Luc Illusie, Université Paris-Sud 11, in consultation with Jean-Pierre Serre, Collège de France. The collection begins with the present introductory article, which provides an overview of Cartan's work and a short contribution by Michael Atiyah. This overview is followed by three additional articles, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Cartan's rich life. —Steven G.

  • Lectures on Integrability of Lie Brackets

    Lectures on Integrability of Lie Brackets

    Geometry & Topology Monographs 17 (2011) 1–107 1 Lectures on integrability of Lie brackets MARIUS CRAINIC RUI LOJA FERNANDES These lectures discuss the problem of integrating infinitesimal geometric structures to global geometric structures. 22A22, 53D17, 58H05 Preface The subject of these lecture notes is the problem of integrating infinitesimal geometric structures to global geometric structures. We follow the categorical approach to differ- ential geometry, where the infinitesimal geometric structures are called Lie algebroids and the global geometric structures are called Lie groupoids. It is also one of our aims to convince you of the advantages of this approach. You may not be familiar with the language of Lie algebroids or Lie groupoids, but you have already seen several instances of the integrability problem. For example, the problem of integrating a vector field to a flow, the problem of integrating an involutive distribution to a foliation, the problem of integrating a Lie algebra to a Lie group or the problem of integrating a Lie algebra action to a Lie group action. In all these special cases, the integrability problem always has a solution. However, in general, this need not be the case and this new aspect of the problem, the obstructions to integrability, is one of the main topics of these notes. One such example, that you may have seen before, is the problem of geometric quantization of a presymplectic manifold, where the so-called prequantization condition appears. These notes are made up of five lectures. In Lecture 1, we introduce Lie groupoids and their infinitesimal versions. In Lecture 2, we introduce the abstract notion of a Lie algebroid and explain how many notions of differential geometry can be described in this language.

In particular, using contact groupoids, we prove a Kostant-type theorem on the prequantization of symplectic groupoids, which answers a question posed by We- instein and Xu. The methods used are those of Crainic-Fernandes on A-paths and monodromy group(oid)s of algebroids. In particular, most of the results we obtain are valid also in the non-integrable case.

    Higher Localized Analytic Indices and Strict Deformation Quantization3

    Higher localized analytic indices and strict deformation quantization Paulo Carrillo Rouse Abstract. This paper is concerned with the localization of higher analytic indices for Lie groupoids. Let G be a Lie groupoid with Lie algebroid AG . Let ∞ τ be a (periodic) cyclic cocycle over the convolution algebra Cc (G ). We say that τ can be localized if there is a correspondence 0 ∗ Ind K (A G ) −→τ C satisfying Indτ (a) = hindDa, τi (Connes pairing). In this case, we call Indτ the higher localized index associated to τ. In[CR08a] we use the algebra of functions over the tangent groupoid introduced in [CR08b], which is in fact a strict deformation quantization of the Schwartz algebra S (AG ), to prove the following results: • Every bounded continuous cyclic cocycle can be localized. • If G is ´etale, every cyclic cocycle can be localized. We will recall this results with the difference that in this paper, a formula for higher localized indices will be given in terms of an asymptotic limit of a pairing at the level of the deformation algebra mentioned above. We will discuss how the higher index formulas of Connes-Moscovici, Gorokhovsky-Lott fit in this unifying setting. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Index theory for Lie groupoids 4 3.

    Rostislav Grigorchuk Texas A&M University

    CLAREMONT CENTER for MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES CCMSCOLLOQUIUM On Gap Conjecture for group growth and related topics by Rostislav Grigorchuk Texas A&M University Abstract: In this talk we will present a survey of results around the Gap Conjecture which was formulated by thep speaker in 1989. The conjecture states that if growth of a finitely generated group is less than e n, then it is polynomial. If proved, it will be a far reaching improvement of the Gromov's remarkable theorem describing groups of polynomial growth as virtually nilpotent groups. Old and new results around conjecture and its weaker and stronger forms will be formulated and discussed. About the speaker: Professor Grigorchuk received his undergraduate degree in 1975 and Ph.D. in 1978, both from Moscow State University, and a habilitation (Doctor of Science) degree in 1985 at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Moscow. During the 1980s and 1990s, Rostislav Grigorchuk held positions in Moscow, and in 2002 joined the faculty of Texas A&M University, where he is now a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics. Grigorchuk is especially famous for his celebrated construction of the first example of a finitely generated group of intermediate growth, thus answering an important problem posed by John Milnor in 1968. This group is now known as the Grigorchuk group, and is one of the important objects studied in geometric group theory. Grigorchuk has written over 100 research papers and monographs, had a number of Ph.D. students and postdocs, and serves on editorial boards of eight journals. He has given numerous talks and presentations, including an invited address at the 1990 International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto, an AMS Invited Address at the March 2004 meeting of the AMS in Athens, Ohio, and a plenary talk at the 2004 Winter Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society.

    SCHREIER GRAPHS OF GRIGORCHUK'S GROUP AND A SUBSHIFT ASSOCIATED TO A NON-PRIMITIVE SUBSTITUTION ROSTISLAV GRIGORCHUK, DANIEL LENZ, AND TATIANA NAGNIBEDA Abstract. There is a recently discovered connection between the spectral theory of Schr¨o- dinger operators whose potentials exhibit aperiodic order and that of Laplacians associated with actions of groups on regular rooted trees, as Grigorchuk's group of intermediate growth. We give an overview of corresponding results, such as different spectral types in the isotropic and anisotropic cases, including Cantor spectrum of Lebesgue measure zero and absence of eigenvalues. Moreover, we discuss the relevant background as well as the combinatorial and dynamical tools that allow one to establish the afore-mentioned connection. The main such tool is the subshift associated to a substitution over a finite alphabet that defines the group algebraically via a recursive presentation by generators and relators.

    Arxiv:1003.6025V1 [Math.HO] 31 Mar 2010 Karl Stein (1913-2000)

    Karl Stein (1913-2000) Alan Huckleberry Karl Stein was born on the first of January 1913 in Hamm in Westfalen, grew up there, received his Abitur in 1932 and immediately thereafter be- gan his studies in M¨unster. Just four years later, under the guidance of Heinrich Behnke, he passed his Staatsexam, received his promotion and became Behnke’s assistant. Throughout his life, complex analysis, primarily in higher dimensions (“mehrere Ver¨anderliche”), was the leitmotif of Stein’s mathematics. As a fresh Ph.D. in M¨unster in 1936, under the leadership of the master Behnke, he had already been exposed to the fascinating developments in this area. The brilliant young Peter Thullen was proving fundamental theorems, Henri Cartan had visited M¨unster, and Behnke and Thullen had just writ- ten the book on the subject. It must have been clear to Stein that this was the way to go. Indeed it was! The amazing phenomenon of analytic continuation in higher dimensions had already been exemplified more than 20 years be- fore in the works of Hartogs and E. E. Levi. Thullen’s recent work had gone much further. In the opposite direction, Cartan and Thullen had arXiv:1003.6025v1 [math.HO] 31 Mar 2010 proved their characterization of domains in Cn which admit a holomor- phic function which can not be continued any further. Behnke himself was also an active participant in mathematics research, always bringing new ideas to M¨unster. This was indeed an exciting time for the young researcher, Karl Stein. Even though the pest of the Third Reich was already invading academia, Behnke kept things going for as long as possible.
