    Stochastic Equivariant Cohomologies and Cyclic Cohomology

    Full text link
    We give two stochastic diffeologies on the free loop space which allow us to define stochastic equivariant cohomology theories in the Chen-Souriau sense and to establish a link with cyclic cohomology. With the second one, we can establish a stochastic fixed point theorem.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009117905000000170 in the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

    Sensitivity Analysis for Convex Multiobjective Programming in Abstract Spaces.

    The main object of this paper is to prove that for a linear or convex multiobjective program, a dual program can be obtained which gives the primal sensitivity without any special hypothesis about the way of choosing the optimal solution in the efficient set.

    Bifurcation of Fredholm Maps I; The Index Bundle and Bifurcation

    Full text link
    We associate to a parametrized family ff of nonlinear Fredholm maps possessing a trivial branch of zeroes an {\it index of bifurcation} Ī²(f)\beta(f) which provides an algebraic measure for the number of bifurcation points from the trivial branch. The index Ī²(f)\beta(f) is derived from the index bundle of the linearization of the family along the trivial branch by means of the generalized JJ-homomorphism. Using the Agranovich reduction and a cohomological form of the Atiyah-Singer family index theorem, due to Fedosov, we compute the bifurcation index of a multiparameter family of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems from the principal symbol of the linearization along the trivial branch. In this way we obtain criteria for bifurcation of solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations which cannot be achieved using the classical Lyapunov-Schmidt method.Comment: 42 pages.
