Mean Curvature Flows and Isotopy of Maps Between Spheres

Let f be a smooth map between unit spheres of possibly different dimensions. We prove the global existence and convergence of the mean curvature flow of the graph of f under various conditions. A corollary is that any area-decreasing map between unit spheres (of possibly different dimensions) is homotopic to a constant map.Comment: 21 page

Hilbert Transformation and Representation of ax+b Group

In this paper we study the Hilbert transformations over $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ and $L^2(\mathbb{T})$ from the viewpoint of symmetry. For a linear operator over $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ commutative with the ax+b group we show that the operator is of the form $\lambda I+\eta H,$ where $I$ and $H$ are the identity operator and Hilbert transformation respectively, and $\lambda,\eta$ are complex numbers. In the related literature this result was proved through first invoking the boundedness result of the operator, proved though a big machinery. In our setting the boundedness is a consequence of the boundedness of the Hilbert transformation. The methodology that we use is Gelfand-Naimark's representation of the ax+b group. Furthermore we prove a similar result on the unit circle. Although there does not exist a group like ax+b on the unit circle, we construct a semigroup to play the same symmetry role for the Hilbert transformations over the circle $L^2(\mathbb{T}).

Hilbert Transformation and rSpin(n)+Rnr\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n Group

In this paper we study symmetry properties of the Hilbert transformation of several real variables in the Clifford algebra setting. In order to describe the symmetry properties we introduce the group $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n, r>0,$ which is essentially an extension of the ax+b group. The study concludes that the Hilbert transformation has certain characteristic symmetry properties in terms of $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n.$ In the present paper, for $n=2$ and $3$ we obtain, explicitly, the induced spinor representations of the $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n$ group. Then we decompose the natural representation of $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n$ into the direct sum of some two irreducible spinor representations, by which we characterize the Hilbert transformation in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^2.$ Precisely, we show that a nontrivial skew operator is the Hilbert transformation if and only if it is invariant under the action of the $r\mathrm{Spin}(n)+\mathbb{R}^n, n=2,3,$ group

On the high energy spin excitations in the high temperature superconductors: an RVB theory

The high energy spin excitation in the high T$_{c}$ cuprates is studied in the single mode approximation for the $t-t'-J$ model. An exact form for the mode dispersion is derived. When the Gutzwiller projected BCS state is used as the variational ground state, a spin-wave-like dispersion of about 2.2$J$ is uncovered along the $\Gamma=(0,0)$ to $\mathrm{M}=(\pi,0)$ line. Both the mode energy and the integrated intensity of the spin fluctuation spectrum are found to be almost doping independent in large doping range, which agrees very well with the observations of recent RIXS measurements. Together with previous studies on the quasiparticle properties of the Gutzwiiler projected BCS state, our results indicate that such a Fermionic RVB theory can provide a consistent description of both the itinerant and the local aspect of electronic excitations in the high T$_{c}$ cuprates.Comment: 7 pages, with 2.5 pages of supplementary materia

Fourier Spectrum Characterizations of Clifford HpH^{p} Spaces on R+n+1\mathbf{R}^{n+1}_+ for 1≤p≤∞1\leq p \leq \infty

This article studies the Fourier spectrum characterization of functions in the Clifford algebra-valued Hardy spaces $H^p(\mathbf R^{n+1}_+), 1\leq p\leq \infty.$ Namely, for $f\in L^p(\mathbf R^n)$, Clifford algebra-valued, $f$ is further the non-tangential boundary limit of some function in $H^p(\mathbf R^{n+1}_+),$ $1\leq p\leq \infty,$ if and only if $\hat{f}=\chi_+\hat{f},$ where $\chi_+(\underline{\xi})=\frac{1}{2}(1+i\frac{\underline \xi}{|\underline \xi|}),$ where the Fourier transformation and the above relation are suitably interpreted (for some cases in the distribution sense). These results further develop the relevant context of Alan McIntosh. As a particular case of our results, the vector-valued Clifford Hardy space functions are identical with the conjugate harmonic systems in the work of Stein and Weiss. The latter proved the corresponding results in terms of the single integral form for the cases $1\leq p<\infty.

A Bernstein type result for special Lagrangian submanifolds

Let \Sigma be a complete minimal Lagrangian submanifold of \C^n. We identify regions in the Grassmannian of Lagrangian subspaces so that whenever the image of the Gauss map of \Sigma lies in one of these regions, then \Sigma is an affine space

Inverse mean curvature flows in the hyperbolic 3-space revisited

This note revisits the inverse mean curvature flow in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. In particular, we show that the limiting shape is not necessarily round after scaling, thus resolving an inconsistency in the literature.Comment: The higher dimensional case is added.

Curvature Decay Estimates of Graphical Mean Curvature Flow in Higher Codimensions

We derive pointwise curvature estimates for graphical mean curvature flows in higher codimensions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such estimates without assuming smallness of first derivatives of the defining map. An immediate application is a convergence theorem of the mean curvature flow of the graph of an area decreasing map between flat Riemann surfaces.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:math/030224

An efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for the evaluation of Renyi entanglement entropy of a general quantum dimer model at the R-K point

A highly efficient and simple to implement Monte Carlo algorithm is proposed for the evaluation of the Renyi entanglement entropy(REE) of quantum dimer model(QDM) at the Rokhsar-Kivelson(R-K) point. It makes possible the evaluation of REE at the R-K point to the thermodynamic limit for a general QDM. We apply the algorithm to QDM on both triangular and square lattice as demonstrations and find the REE on both lattices follow perfect linear scaling in the thermodynamic limit, apart from an even-odd oscillation in the latter case. We also evaluate the topological entanglement entropy(TEE) on both lattices with a subtraction procedure. While the expected TEE of $\ln2$ is clearly demonstrated for QDM on triangular lattice, a strong oscillation of the result is found for QDM on square lattice, which implies the relevance of boundary perturbation in such a critical system.Comment: 6 page

Linear Stability of Higher Dimensional Schwarzschild Spacetimes: Decay of Master Quantities

In this paper, we study solutions to the linearized vacuum Einstein equations centered at higher-dimensional Schwarzschild met- rics. We employ Hodge decomposition to split solutions into scalar, co-vector, and two-tensor pieces; the first two portions respectively cor- respond to the closed and co-closed, or polar and axial, solutions in the case of four spacetime dimensions, while the two-tensor portion is a new feature in the higher-dimensional setting. Rephrasing earlier work of Kodama-Ishibashi-Seto in the language of our Hodge decomposition, we produce decoupled gauge-invariant master quantities satisfying Regge- Wheeler type wave equations in each of the three portions. The scalar and co-vector quantities respectively generalize the Moncrief-Zerilli and Regge-Wheeler quantities found in the setting of four spacetime dimen- sions; beyond these quantities, we further discover a higher-dimensional analog of the Cunningham-Moncrief-Price quantity in the co-vector por- tion. In the analysis of the master quantities, we strengthen the mode stability result of Kodama-Ishibashi to a uniform boundedness estimate in all dimensions; further, we prove decay estimates in the case of six or fewer spacetime dimensions. Finally, we provide a rigorous argument that linearized solutions of low angular frequency are decomposable as a sum of pure gauge solution and linearized Myers-Perry solution, the lat- ter solutions generalizing the linearized Kerr solutions in four spacetime dimensions.Comment: 71 page
