Multiplicity of Radial Ground States for the Scalar Curvature Equation Without Reciprocal Symmetry

We study existence and multiplicity of positive ground states for the scalar curvature equation $$\begin{aligned} \varDelta u+ K(|x|)\, u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}=0, \quad x\in {{\mathbb {R}}}^n\,, \quad n>2, \end{aligned}$$ Δ u + K ( | x | ) u n + 2 n - 2 = 0 , x ∈ R n , n > 2 , when the function $$K:{{\mathbb {R}}}^+\rightarrow {{\mathbb {R}}}^+$$ K : R + → R + is bounded above and below by two positive constants, i.e. $$0<\underline{K} \le K(r) \le \overline{K}$$ 0 < K ̲ ≤ K ( r ) ≤ K ¯ for every $$r > 0$$ r > 0 , it is decreasing in $$(0,{{{\mathcal {R}}}})$$ ( 0 , R ) and increasing in $$({{{\mathcal {R}}}},+\infty )$$ ( R , + ∞ ) for a certain $${{{\mathcal {R}}}}>0$$ R > 0 . We recall that in this case ground states have to be radial, so the problem is reduced to an ODE and, then, to a dynamical system via Fowler transformation. We provide a smallness non perturbative (i.e. computable) condition on the ratio $$\overline{K}/\underline{K}$$ K ¯ / K ̲ which guarantees the existence of a large number of ground states with fast decay, i.e. such that $$u(|x|) \sim |x|^{2-n}$$ u ( | x | ) ∼ | x | 2 - n as $$|x| \rightarrow +\infty $$ | x | → + ∞ , which are of bubble-tower type. We emphasize that if K(r) has a unique critical point and it is a maximum the radial ground state with fast decay, if it exists, is unique.

Smooth Wavelet Approximations of Truncated Legendre Polynomials via the Jacobi Theta Function

The family ofnth orderq-Legendre polynomials are introduced. They are shown to be obtainable from the Jacobi theta function and to satisfy recursion relations and multiplicatively advanced differential equations (MADEs) that are analogues of the recursion relations and ODEs satisfied by thenth degree Legendre polynomials. Thenth orderq-Legendre polynomials are shown to have vanishingkth moments for0≤k<n, as does thenth degree truncated Legendre polynomial. Convergence results are obtained, approximations are given, a reciprocal symmetry is shown, and nearly orthonormal frames are constructed. Conditions are given under which a MADE remains a MADE under inverse Fourier transform. This is used to construct new wavelets as solutions of MADEs.

Piecewise-linear and birational toggling

International audience We define piecewise-linear and birational analogues of toggle-involutions, rowmotion, and promotion on order ideals of a poset $P$ as studied by Striker and Williams. Piecewise-linear rowmotion relates to Stanley's transfer map for order polytopes; piecewise-linear promotion relates to Schützenberger promotion for semistandard Young tableaux. When $P = [a] \times [b]$, a reciprocal symmetry property recently proved by Grinberg and Roby implies that birational rowmotion (and consequently piecewise-linear rowmotion) is of order $a+b$. We prove some homomesy results, showing that for certain functions $f$, the average of $f$ over each rowmotion/promotion orbit is independent of the orbit chosen. Nous définissons et étudions certains analogues linéaires-par-morceaux et birationnels d’involutions toggles, rowmotion et promotion sur les idéaux d’un poset $P$, comme étudié par Striker et Williams. La rowmotion linéaire-par-morceaux est liée à la fonction transfert de Stanley pour les polytopes d’ordre; la promotion linéaire-par-morceaux se rapporte à la promotion de Schützenberger pour les tableaux semi-standards de Young. Lorsque $P = [a] \times [b]$, une propriété de symétrie réciproque récemment prouvée par Grinberg et Roby implique que la rowmotion birationnelle (et par conséquent la rowmotion linéaire-par-morceaux) est de l’ordre $a+b$. Nous démontrons quelques résultats d’homomésie, montrant que pour certaines fonctions $f$, la moyenne de $f$ sur chaque orbite de rowmotion/promotion est indépendante de l’orbite choisie.

Reciprocal symmetry, unimodality and Khintchine’s theorem

The symmetric distributions on the real line and their multi-variate extensions play a central role in statistical theory and many of its applications. Furthermore, data in practice often consist of non-negative measurements. Reciprocally symmetric distributions defined on the positive real line may be considered analogous to symmetric distributions on the real line. Hence, it is useful to investigate reciprocal symmetry in general, and Mudholkar and Wang’s notion of R-symmetry in particular. In this paper, we shall explore a number of interesting results and interplays involving reciprocal symmetry, unimodality and Khintchine’s theorem with particular emphasis on R-symmetry. They bear on the important practical analogies between the Gaussian and inverse Gaussian distributions.

Reciprocal Symmetry and its Relation to Einstein's Postulate, Lorentz Transformation and Discreteness

Objectivity demands that kinematics should be independent of the quantities (velocities or their reciprocals) we define. This demand is translated as Reciprocal Symmetry (RS), which we have defined. We have shown that RS gives an upper bound velocity, the mathematical analogue of Einstein's postulate, and Lorentz transformation. RS also requires discreteness. RS promises to bridge the gap between relativity and quantum mechanics.
