For any bounded domain $Omega$ in $mathbb C^m,$ let ${mathrm B}_1(Omega)$ denote the Cowen-Douglas class of commuting $m$-tuples of bounded linear operators. For an $m$-tuple $boldsymbol T$ in the Cowen-Douglas class ${mathrm B}_1(Omega),$ let $N_{boldsymbol T}(w)$ denote the restriction of $boldsymbol T$ to the subspace ${cap_{i,j=1}^mker(T_i-w_iI)(T_j-w_jI)}.$ This commuting $m$-tuple $N_{boldsymbol T}(w)$ of $m+1$ dimensional operators induces a homomorphism $rho_{_{!N_{boldsymbol T}(w)}}$ of the polynomial ring $P[z_1, ..., z_m],$ namely, $rho_{_{!N_{boldsymbol T}(w)}}(p) = pbig (N_{boldsymbol T}(w) big),, pin P[z_1, ..., z_m].$ We study the contractivity and complete contractivity of the homomorphism $rho_{_{!N_{boldsymbol T}(w)}}.$ Starting from the homomorphism $rho_{_{!N_{boldsymbol T}(w)}},$ we construct a natural class of homomorphism $rho_{_{!N^{(lambda)}(w)}}, lambda>0,$ and relate the properties of $rho_{_{!N^{(lambda)}(w)}}$ to that of $rho_{_{!N_{boldsymbol T}(w)}}.$ Explicit examples arising from the multiplication operators on the Bergman space of $Omega$ are investigated in detail. Finally, it is shown that contractive properties of $rho_{_{!N_{boldsymbol T}(w)}}$ is equivalent to an inequality for the curvature of the Cowen-Douglas bundle $E_{boldsymbol T}$.
We prove that the energy dissipation property of gradient flows extends to the semigroup maximal operators in various settings. In particular, we show that the vertical maximal function relative to the $p$-parabolic extension does not increase the $dot{W}^{1,p}$ norm of $dot{W}^{1,p}(mathbb{R}^n) cap L^{2}(mathbb{R}^n)$ functions when $p > 2$. We also obtain analogous results in the setting of uniformly parabolic and elliptic equations with bounded, measurable, real and symmetric coefficients, where the solutions do not have a representation formula via a convolution.
We study Poincar{e} inequalities and long-time behavior for diffusion processes on R^n under a variable curvature lower bound, in the sense of Bakry-Emery. We derive various estimates on the rate of convergence to equilibrium in L^1 optimal transport distance, as well as bounds on the constant in the Poincar{e} inequality in several situations of interest, including some where curvature may be negative. In particular, we prove a self-improvement of the Bakry-Emery estimate for Poincar{e} inequalities when curvature is positive but not constant.
The concept of generalised (in the sense of Colombeau) connection on a principal fibre bundle is introduced. This definition is then used to extend results concerning the geometry of principal fibre bundles to those that only have a generalised connection. Some applications to singular solutions of Yang-Mills theory are given.
Denote by $P_n$ the set of $ntimes n$ positive definite matrices. Let $D = D_1oplus dots oplus D_k$, where $D_1in P_{n_1}, dots, D_k in P_{n_k}$ with $n_1+cdots + n_k=n$. Partition $Cin P_n$ according to $(n_1, dots, n_k)$ so that $Diag C = C_1oplus dots oplus C_k$. We prove the following weak log majorization result: begin{equation*} lambda (C^{-1}_1D_1oplus cdots oplus C^{-1}_kD_k)prec_{w ,log} lambda(C^{-1}D), end{equation*} where $lambda(A)$ denotes the vector of eigenvalues of $Ain Cnn$. The inequality does not hold if one replaces the vectors of eigenvalues by the vectors of singular values, i.e., begin{equation*} s(C^{-1}_1D_1oplus cdots oplus C^{-1}_kD_k)prec_{w ,log} s(C^{-1}D) end{equation*} is not true. As an application, we provide a generalization of a determinantal inequality of Matic cite[Theorem 1.1]{M}. In addition, we obtain a weak majorization result which is complementary to a determinantal inequality of Choi cite[Theorem 2]{C} and give a weak log majorization open question.
We specify the structure of completely positive operators and quantum Markov semigroup generators that are symmetric with respect to a family of inner products, also providing new information on the order strucure an extreme points in some previously studied cases.
