The index formula for elliptic pseudodifferential operators on a two-dimensional manifold with conical points contains the Atiyah-Singer integral as well as two additional terms. One of the two is the 'eta' invariant defined by the conormal symbol, and the other term is explicitly expressed via the principal and subprincipal symbols of the operator at conical points. In the preceding paper we clarified the meaning of the additional terms for first-order differential operators. The aim of this paper is an explicit description of the contribution of a conical point for higher-order differential operators. We show that changing the origin in the complex plane reduces the entire contribution of the conical point to the shifted 'eta' invariant. In turn this latter is expressed in terms of the monodromy matrix for an ordinary differential equation defined by the conormal symbol.
We introduce a natural symmetry condition for a pseudodifferential operator on a manifold with cylindrical ends ensuring that the operator admits a doubling across the boundary. For such operators we prove an explicit index formula containing, apart from the Atiyah-Singer integral, a finite number of residues of the logarithmic derivative of the conormal symbol.
We describe a natural construction of deformation quantisation on a compact symplectic manifold with boundary. On the algebra of quantum observables a trace functional is defined which as usual annihilates the commutators. This gives rise to an index as the trace of the unity element. We formulate the index theorem as a conjecture and examine it by the classical harmonic oscillator.
For each compact subset K of the complex plane C which does not surround zero, the Riemann surface Sζ of the Riemann zeta function restricted to the critical half-strip 0 < Rs < 1/2 contains infinitely many schlicht copies of K lying ‘over’ K. If Sζ also contains at least one such copy, for some K which surrounds zero, then the Riemann hypothesis fails.
In this paper we study the convergence of continuous Newton method for solving nonlinear equations with holomorphic mappings in complex Banach spaces. Our contribution is based on a recent progress in the geometric theory of spirallike functions. We prove convergence theorems and illustrate them by numerical simulations.
We consider the Dirichlet, Neumann and Zaremba problems for harmonic functions in a bounded plane domain with nonsmooth boundary. The boundary curve belongs to one of the following three classes: sectorial curves, logarithmic spirals and spirals of power type. To study the problem we apply a familiar method of Vekua-Muskhelishvili which consists in using a conformal mapping of the unit disk onto the domain to pull back the problem to a boundary problem for harmonic functions in the disk. This latter is reduced in turn to a Toeplitz operator equation on the unit circle with symbol bearing discontinuities of second kind. We develop a constructive invertibility theory for Toeplitz operators and thus derive solvability conditions as well as explicit formulas for solutions.
We consider quasicomplexes of Boutet de Monvel operators in Sobolev spaces on a smooth compact manifold with boundary. To each quasicomplex we associate two complexes of symbols. One complex is defined on the cotangent bundle of the manifold and the other on that of the boundary. The quasicomplex is elliptic if these symbol complexes are exact away from the zero sections. We prove that elliptic quasicomplexes are Fredholm. As a consequence of this result we deduce that a compatibility complex for an overdetermined elliptic boundary problem operator is also Fredholm. Moreover, we introduce the Euler characteristic for elliptic quasicomplexes of Boutet de Monvel operators.
For elliptic systems of differential equations on a manifold with boundary, we prove the Fredholm property of a class of boundary problems which do not satisfy the Shapiro-Lopatinskii property. We name these boundary problems generalised elliptic, for they preserve the main properties of elliptic boundary problems. Moreover, they reduce to systems of pseudodifferential operators on the boundary which are generalised elliptic in the sense of Saks (1997).
The inhomogeneous ∂-equations is an inexhaustible source of locally unsolvable equations, subelliptic estimates and other phenomena in partial differential equations. Loosely speaking, for the anaysis on complex manifolds with boundary nonelliptic problems are typical rather than elliptic ones. Using explicit integral representations we assign a Fredholm complex to the Dolbeault complex over an arbitrary bounded domain in C up(n).
Given a system of entire functions in Cn with at most countable set of common zeros, we introduce the concept of zeta-function associated with the system. Under reasonable assumptions on the system, the zeta-function is well defined for all s ∈ Zn with sufficiently large components. Using residue theory we get an integral representation for the zeta-function which allows us to construct an analytic extension of the zeta-function to an infinite cone in Cn.
The problem of analytic representation of integrable CR functions on hypersurfaces with singularities is treated. The nature o singularities does not matter while the set of singularities has surface measure zero. For simple singularities like cuspidal points, edges, corners, etc., also the behaviour of representing analytic functions near singular points is studied.
We prove a theorem on analytic representation of integrable CR functions on hypersurfaces with singular points. Moreover, the behaviour of representing analytic functions near singular points is investigated. We are aimed at explaining the new effect caused by the presence of a singularity rather than at treating the problem in full generality.
The classical Lefschetz fixed point formula expresses the number of fixed points of a continuous map f : M -> M in terms of the transformation induced by f on the cohomology of M. In 1966 Atiyah and Bott extended this formula to elliptic complexes over a compact closed manifold. In particular, they presented a holomorphic Lefschtz formula for compact complex manifolds without boundary, a result, in the framework of algebraic geometry due to Eichler (1957) for holomorphic curves. On compact complex manifolds with boundary the Dolbeault complex is not elliptic, hence the Atiyah-Bott theory is no longer applicable. To get rid of the difficulties related to the boundary behaviour of the Dolbeault cohomology, Donelli and Fefferman (1986) derived a fixed point formula for the Bergman metric. The purpose of this paper is to present a holomorphic Lefschtz formula on a compact complex manifold with boundary
