A counterexample to the local-global principle of linear dependence for Abelian varieties

Antonella Perucca, Peter Simon Jossen

Let A be an Abelian variety defined over a number field k. Let P be a point in A(k) and let X be a subgroup of A(k). Gajda and Kowalski asked in 2002 whether it is true that the point P belongs to X if and only if the point (P mod p) belongs to (X mod p) f ...

Optically Generated Electric Fields by Lithium Niobate Nanowires

Demetri Psaltis, László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Ye Pu, Rachel Grange, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Jae-Woo Choi, Rita Smajda

We demonstrate that lithium niobate nanowires generate electric fields under 514 nm continuous wave laser illumination. Birefringent media are used to visualize the generated fields in a microfluidic channel. Input laser polarization dependence is shown. ( ...

Chow-Witt groups and Grothendieck-Witt groups of regular schemes

Jean Fasel

Let A be a noetherian commutative Z[1/2]-algebra of Krull dimension d and let P be a projective A-module of rank d. We use derived Grothendieck-Witt groups and Euler classes to detect some obstructions for P to split off a free factor of rank one. If d

Separation and Duality in Locally L0-Convex Modules

Damir Filipovic

Motivated by financial applications, we study convex analysis for modules over the ordered ring L0 of random variables. We establish a module analogue of locally convex vector spaces, namely locally L0-convex modules. In this context, we prove hyperplane s ...

Isometry groups of non-positively curved spaces: Discrete subgroups

Nicolas Monod

We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained after a detour throu ...

Convexly independent subsets of the Minkowski sum of planar point sets

János Pach, Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss

Let P and Q be finite sets of points in the plane. In this note we consider the largest cardinality of a subset of the Minkowski sum S ⊆ P⊕Q which consist of convex independent points. We show that, if P and Q contain at most n points, then |S| = O(n^(4/3) ...

A mealy machine with polynomial growth of irrational degree

We consider a very simple Mealy machine ( two nontrivial states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. It is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup, and we show that the growth function of its balls behave ...

A vanishing theorem for oriented intersection multiplicities

Jean Fasel

Let A be a regular local ring containing 1/2, which is either equicharacteristic, or is smooth over a d.v.r. of mixed characteristic. We prove that the product maps on derived Grothendieck-Witt groups of A satisfy the following property: given two elements ...

Varieties of modules for Z/2Z x Z/2Z

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We prove that the restricted nilpotent commuting variety C, that is the set of pairs of (n x n)-matrices (A, B) such that A(2) = B-2 = [A, B] = 0, is equidimensional. C can be identified with the ...

Minimum euclidien des ordres maximaux dans les algèbres centrales à division

Jérôme Chaubert

This work concerns the study of Euclidean minima of maximal orders in central simple algebras. In the first part, we define the concept of ideal lattice in the non-commutative case. Let A be a semi-simple algebra over Q. An ideal lattice over A is a triple ...
