An Equivariant Brauer Group and Actions of Groups on C*-algebras

Abstract: Suppose that $(G,T)$ is a second countable locally compact transformation group given by a homomorphism $\ell:G\to\Homeo(T)$, and that $A$ is a separable continuous-trace \cs-algebra with spectrum $T$. An action $\alpha:G\to\Aut(A)$ is said to cover $\ell$ if the induced action of $G$ on $T$ coincides with the original one. We prove that the set $\brgt$ of Morita equivalence classes of such systems forms a group with multiplication given by the balanced tensor product: $[A,\alpha][B,\beta] = [A\Ttensor B,\alpha\tensor\beta]$, and we refer to $\brgt$ as the Equivariant Brauer Group. We give a detailed analysis of the structure of $\brgt$ in terms of the Moore cohomology of the group $G$ and the integral cohomology of the space $T$. Using this, we can characterize the stable continuous-trace \cs-algebras with spectrum $T$ which admit actions covering $\ell$. In particular, we prove that if $G=\R$, then every stable continuous-trace \cs-algebra admits an (essentially unique) action covering~$\ell$, thereby substantially improving results of Raeburn and Rosenberg.

An Equivariant Main Conjecture in Iwasawa Theory and Applications

Abstract: We construct a new class of Iwasawa modules, which are the number field analogues of the p-adic realizations of the Picard 1-motives constructed by Deligne in the 1970s and studied extensively from a Galois module structure point of view in our recent work. We prove that the new Iwasawa modules are of projective dimension 1 over the appropriate profinite group rings. In the abelian case, we prove an Equivariant Main Conjecture, identifying the first Fitting ideal of the Iwasawa module in question over the appropriate profinite group ring with the principal ideal generated by a certain equivariant p-adic L-function. This is an integral, equivariant refinement of the classical Main Conjecture over totally real number fields proved by Wiles in 1990. Finally, we use these results and Iwasawa co-descent to prove refinements of the (imprimitive) Brumer-Stark Conjecture and the Coates-Sinnott Conjecture, away from their 2-primary components, in the most general number field setting. All of the above is achieved under the assumption that the relevant prime p is odd and that the appropriate classical Iwasawa mu-invariants vanish (as conjectured by Iwasawa.)

Schrödinger Flow near Harmonic Maps

Abstract: For the Schrodinger flow from R 2 × R + to the 2-sphere S 2 , it is not known if finite energy solutions can blow up in finite time We study equivariant solutions whose energy is near the energy of the family of equivariant harmonic maps We prove that such solutions remain close to the harmonic maps until the blowup time (if any), and that they blow up if and only if the length scale of the nearest harmonic map goes to 0 c � 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc

Back stable Schubert calculus

Abstract: We study the back stable Schubert calculus of the infinite flag variety. Our main results are: 1) a formula for back stable (double) Schubert classes expressing them in terms of a symmetric function part and a finite part; 2) a novel definition of double and triple Stanley symmetric functions; 3) a proof of the positivity of double Edelman-Greene coefficients generalizing the results of Edelman-Greene and Lascoux-Schutzenberger; 4) the definition of a new class of bumpless pipedreams, giving new formulae for double Schubert polynomials, back stable double Schubert polynomials, and a new form of the Edelman-Greene insertion algorithm; 5) the construction of the Peterson subalgebra of the infinite nilHecke algebra, extending work of Peterson in the affine case; 6) equivariant Pieri rules for the homology of the infinite Grassmannian; 7) homology divided difference operators that create the equivariant homology Schubert classes of the infinite Grassmannian.
