  • Nikolay Luzin, His Students, Adversaries, and Defenders (Notes
    Nikolay Luzin, his students, adversaries, and defenders (notes on the history of Moscow mathematics, 1914-1936) Yury Neretin This is historical-mathematical and historical notes on Moscow mathematics 1914-1936. Nikolay Luzin was a central figure of that time. Pavel Alexandroff, Nina Bari, Alexandr Khinchin, Andrey Kolmogorov, Mikhail Lavrentiev, Lazar Lyusternik, Dmitry Menshov, Petr Novikov, Lev Sсhnirelman, Mikhail Suslin, and Pavel Urysohn were his students. We discuss the time of the great intellectual influence of Luzin (1915-1924), the time of decay of his school (1922-1930), a moment of his administrative power (1934-1936), and his fall in July 1936. But the thing which served as a source of Luzin’s inner drama turned out to be a source of his subsequent fame... Lazar Lyusternik [351] Il est temps que je m’arr ete: voici que je dis, ce que j’ai d´eclar´e, et avec raison, ˆetre inutile `adire. Henri Lebesgue, Preface to Luzin’s book, Leˇcons sur les ensembles analytiques et leurs applications, [288] Прошло сто лет и что ж осталось От сильных, гордых сих мужей, Столь полных волею страстей? Их поколенье миновалось Alexandr Pushkin ’Poltava’ There is a common idea that a life of Nikolay Luzin can be a topic of a Shakespeare drama. I am agree with this sentence but I am extremely far from an intention to realize this idea. The present text is an impassive historical-mathematical and historical investigation of Moscow mathematics of that time. On the other hand, this is more a story of its initiation and turning moments than a history of achievements.

  • Chapter 4 X.Pdf
    CHAPTER 4 ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNING EQUATIONS 4.1 INTRODUCTION The mathematical nature of the systems of governing equations deduced in Chapters 2 and 3 is investigated in this chapter. The systems of PDEs that express the quasi-equilibrium approximation are studied in greater depth. The analysis is especially important for the systems whose solutions are likely to feature discontinuities, as a result of strong gradients growing steeper, or because the initial data is already discontinuous. The geomorphic shallow-water flows, such as the dam-break flow considered in Chapter 3, are the paradigmatic example of flows for which discontinuities arise fundamentally because of the initial conditions. Laboratory experiments show that, in the first instants of a sudden collapse of a dam, vertical accelerations are strong and a bore is formed, either through the breaking of a wave (Stansby et al. 1998) or due to the incorporation of bed material (Capart 2000, Leal et al. 2002). Intense erosion occurs in the vicinity of the dam and a highly saturated wave front is likely to form at ttt≡≈0 4 , thg00= , where h0 is the initial water depth in the reservoir. The saturated wave front can be seen forming in figure 3.1(a). Unlike the debris flow resulting from avalanches or lahars, the saturated front is followed by a sheet-flow similar to that 303 encountered in surf or swash zones (Asano 1995), as seen in figures 3.2(b) and (c). The intensity of the sediment transport decreases in the upstream direction as the flow velocities approach fluvial values.

  • On the Iwasawa Invariants of Kato's Zeta Elements for Modular Forms
    ON THE IWASAWA INVARIANTS OF KATO’S ZETA ELEMENTS FOR MODULAR FORMS CHAN-HO KIM, JAEHOON LEE, AND GAUTIER PONSINET Abstract. We study the behavior of the Iwasawa invariants of the Iwasawa modules which appear in Kato’s main conjecture without p-adic L-functions under congruences. It general- izes the work of Greenberg–Vatsal, Emerton–Pollack–Weston, B.D. Kim, Greenberg–Iovita– Pollack, and one of us simultaneously. As a consequence, we establish the propagation of Kato’s main conjecture for modular forms of higher weight at arbitrary good prime under the assumption on the mod p non-vanishing of Kato’s zeta elements. The application to the ± and ♯/♭-Iwasawa theory for modular forms is also discussed. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Main results and applications 6 3. “Prime-to-p local” Iwasawa theory 8 4.

Introduction 1.1. Overview. In Iwasawa theory for elliptic curves and modular forms, the techniques of congruences of modular forms has played important roles. Especially, in their ground-breaking work [GV00], Greenberg and Vatsal observed that both algebraic and analytic Iwasawa in- variants of elliptic curves with good ordinary reduction over the cyclotomic Zp-extension Q∞ of Q can be described in terms of the information of the residual representations and the local arXiv:1909.01764v2 [math.NT] 29 Nov 2019 behavior at bad reduction primes under the µ = 0 assumption.

  • Arxiv:1806.02470V2 [Hep-Th] 3 Feb 2020 in Particular, Topology of 4-Manifolds and Vertex Operator Algebra
    VOA[M4] Boris Feigin and Sergei Gukov Abstract. We take a peek at a general program that associates vertex (or, chiral) algebras to smooth 4-manifolds in such a way that operations on al- gebras mirror gluing operations on 4-manifolds and, furthermore, equivalent constructions of 4-manifolds give rise to equivalences (dualities) of the corre- sponding algebras. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Gluing via extensions: Toric M4 8 3. Operations and relations 16 4. Vertex algebras and trisections 25 5. Modules and knotted surfaces 30 6. Gluing via BRST reduction 33 7. Associated variety of VOA[M4] 36 References 37 1. Introduction The main goal of this paper is to blaze new trails between topology and algebra, arXiv:1806.02470v2 [hep-th] 3 Feb 2020 in particular, topology of 4-manifolds and vertex operator algebra. While various connections between these two subjects emerged during the past 2-3 decades, the questions of prime interest in topology | that involve (cutting and gluing) surgery operations | remain, surprisingly, untouched. Similarly, from the algebra perspec- tive, many traditional connections to topology rely on algebraic structures used as an input, i.g. Frobenius algebras in the construction of 2d TQFTs or modular tensor categories in the construction of 3d TQFTs. More recent developments, however, suggest that such algebraic structures can themselves be topological invariants of manifolds, so that one can speak of VOA[M4] or MTC[M3]. Pointing a flashlight directly at these underappreciated aspects can potentially be very beneficial for the development of both subjects. Specifically, we describe a large class of vertex operator algebras (VOAs), each labeled by a choice of a 1 2 BORIS FEIGIN AND SERGEI GUKOV 1 smooth 4-manifold M4 and a root system g of ADE Cartan type.

  • L-Invariants of Low Symmetric Powers of Modular Forms and Hida Deformations
    L-invariants of low symmetric powers of modular forms and Hida deformations Robert William Harron A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Recommended for Acceptance by the Department of Mathematics Adviser: Andrew Wiles September 2009 c Copyright by Robert William Harron, 2009. All Rights Reserved Abstract We obtain formulae for Greenberg's L-invariant of symmetric square and symmetric sixth power motives attached to p-ordinary modular forms in the vein of theorem 3.18 of [GS93]. For the symmetric square of f, the formula obtained relates the L- invariant to the derivative of the p-adic analytic function interpolating the pth Fourier coefficient (equivalently, the unit root of Frobenius) in the Hida family attached to f. We present a different proof than Hida's, [Hi04], with slightly different assumptions. The symmetric sixth power of f requires a bigger p-adic family. We take advantage of a result of Ramakrishnan{Shahidi ([RS07]) on the symmetric cube lifting to GSp(4)=Q, Hida families on the latter ([TU99] and [Hi02]), as well as results of several authors on the Galois representations attached to automorphic representations of GSp(4)=Q, to compute the L-invariant of the symmetric sixth power of f in terms of the derivatives of the p-adic analytic functions interpolating the eigenvalues of Frobenius in a Hida family on GSp(4)=Q. We must however impose stricter conditions on f in this case. Here, Hida's work (e.g. [Hi07]) does not provide answers as specific as ours.
