Abstract/Résumé:

It is shown that, for any unital simple infinite-dimensional AF algebra, the KMS-state bundle for a one-parameter automorphism group is isomorphic to an arbitrary proper simplex bundle over the real line with (as is necessary) fibre at (inverse temperature) zero isomorphic to the trace simplex.

On démontre que, pour toute C*-algèbre AF simple à élément unité et à dimension infinie, le faisceau d’états KMS pour un grouped’automorphismes à un paramètre est isomorphe à un faisceau de simplices propre arbitraire sur la ligne réelle tel que (nécessairement) le fibre sur la température inverse zéro est isomorphe au simplex tracial.

Abstract/Résumé:

We show that a \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) action on a lattice-ordered dimension group will arise as an inductive limit of \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) actions on simplicial groups. The motivation for this study is the range of invariant problem in Elliott and Su’s classification of AF type \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) actions. We modify the proof of the Effros-Handelman-Shen theorem to include \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) actions.

Nous montrons qu’une action de \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) sur un groupe de dimension ordonné par treillis apparaît comme une limite inductive d’actions de \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) sur des groupes simpliciaux. La motivation de cette étude est le problème de la gamme de l’invariant dans la classification d’Elliott et de Su des actions de \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) de type AF. Nous modifions la preuve du théorème d’Effros-Handelman-Shen pour inclure les actions de \(\mathbb{Z}_2\).

Abstract/Résumé:

In this note, we extend the renormalization horseshoe we have recently constructed with N. Goncharuk for analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle to their small two-dimensional perturbations. As one consequence, Herman rings with rotation numbers of bounded type survive on a codimension one set of parameters under small two-dimensional perturbations.

On étend le fer à cheval de renormalisation récemment construit avec N. Goncharuk pour les difféomorphismes analytiques du cercle à leurs petites perturbations à deux dimensions. Il suit que les anneaux de Herman à nombre de rotation de type borné survivent sur un ensemble de paramètres à codimension un sous petites perturbations à deux dimensions.

Abstract/Résumé:

Eigenvalue problems on irreducible \(\mathfrak{su}(2)\) modules and their adjoints are considered in the Bargmann, Barut-Girardello and finite difference models. The biorthogonality relations that arise between the corresponding generating functions of the Krawtchouk polynomials are sorted out. A link with Padé approximation is made.

Des problèmes aux valeurs propres sur les modulesirréductibles de \(\mathfrak{su}(2)\) et leurs adjoints sont examinés dans les modèles de Bargmann, Barut–Girardello et aux différences finies. Les relations de biorthogonalité qui apparaissent entre les fonctions génératrices correspondantes des polynômes de Krawtchouk sont identifiées. Un lien avec l’approximation de Padé est fait.

Abstract/Résumé:

The flow of weights was introduced by Connes and Takesaki as a functor on the category of von Neumann algebras with isomorphisms as maps. While it is easy to see that this functor cannot be extended to the category of all von Neumann algebra homomorphisms, it is in fact possible to extend it to a certain extent. This can also be done, fairly extensively, for the Falcone and Takesaki non-commutative flow of weights.

Le flot des poids a été introduit par Connes et Takesaki comme foncteur sur la catégorie des algèbres de von Neumann avec isomorphismes comme flèches. On peut étendre ce foncteur jusqu’à un certain point dans les directions et covariante et contravariante. Le foncteur flot des poids non-commutatif peut aussi s’étendre, bien entendant pas aux homomorphismes arbitraires.

Abstract/Résumé:

In this paper, I explain the emergence of Symplectic geometry and Symplectic topology, as it occurred historically, from three sources: classical and quantum physics, complex Algebraic geometry, and String theory. Symplectic topology is nowadays one of the most fascinating subjects in mathematics, and has reached since the 1980’s a maturity that deserves the attention of all mathematicians and physicists. It combines topology, geometry, non-linear partial differential equations or relations, \(A^{\infty}\) algebras, and String theory in a powerful setting that addresses some of the most elusive questions of our times. It is made of soft \(h\)-principles coupled with hard transcendental, rigid, moduli spaces of solutions to PDE’s on manifolds. I will end the paper with some conjectures in Symplectic topology, after explaining the difference between smooth and \(C^0\) Symplectic topology.

Dans cet article, j’explique l’émergence de la géométrie symplectique et de la topologie symplectique, en suivant leur naissance et leur évolution au cours des siècles, à partir de trois sources: la physique classique et quantique, la géométrie algébrique complexe, et la théorie des cordes. La topologie symplectique est aujourd’hui l’un des domaines les plus fascinants de la recherche mathématique mondiale et a atteint, depuis les années 1980 une maturité qui mérite l’attention de tous les mathématiciens et physiciens. Elle rassemble la topologie, la géométrie, les équations aux dérivées partielles non-linéaires, les \(A^{\infty}\)-algèbres et la théorie des cordes dans une théorie puissante qui s’adresse aux problèmes les plus subtils de notre époque. Elle est faite du \(h\)-principe topologique, une théorie “soft”, couplée à un vaste ensemble d’espaces de modules d’EDP sur les variétés, que l’on peut qualifier de “hard” ou transcendental. Je conclurai cet article avec quelques conjectures en topologie symplectique après avoir expliqué la différence entre les topologies symplectiques lisse et \(C^0\).
