For a connected real Lie group G we consider the canonical standard-ordered star product arising from the canonical global symbol calculus based on the half-commutator connection of G. This star product trivially converges on polynomial functions on T\(^*\)G thanks to its homogeneity. We define a nuclear Fréchet algebra of certain analytic functions on T\(^*\)G, for which the standard-ordered star product is shown to be a well-defined continuous multiplication, depending holomorphically on the deformation parameter \(\hbar\). This nuclear Fréchet algebra is realized as the completed (projective) tensor product of a nuclear Fréchet algebra of entire functions on G with an appropriate nuclear Fréchet algebra of functions on \({\mathfrak {g}}^*\). The passage to the Weyl-ordered star product, i.e. the Gutt star product on T\(^*\)G, is shown to preserve this function space, yielding the continuity of the Gutt star product with holomorphic dependence on \(\hbar\).
Let (ϕ\(_t\))\(_{t≥0}\) be a semigroup of holomorphic functions in the unit disk \(\mathbb {D}\) and K a compact subset of \(\mathbb {D}\). We investigate the conditions under which the backward orbit of K under the semigroup exists. Subsequently, the geometric characteristics, as well as, potential theoretic quantities for the backward orbit of K are examined. More specifically, results are obtained concerning the asymptotic behavior of its hyperbolic area and diameter, the harmonic measure and the capacity of the condenser that K forms with the unit disk.
This paper studies differential graded modules and representations up to homotopy of Lie n-algebroids, for general \(n\in {\mathbb {N}}\). The adjoint and coadjoint modules are described, and the corresponding split versions of the adjoint and coadjoint representations up to homotopy are explained. In particular, the case of Lie 2-algebroids is analysed in detail. The compatibility of a Poisson bracket with the homological vector field of a Lie n-algebroid is shown to be equivalent to a morphism from the coadjoint module to the adjoint module, leading to an alternative characterisation of non-degeneracy of higher Poisson structures. Moreover, the Weil algebra of a Lie n-algebroid is computed explicitly in terms of splittings, and representations up to homotopy of Lie n-algebroids are used to encode decomposed VB-Lie n-algebroid structures on double vector bundles.
We extend Bourgain’s bound for the order of growth of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line to Lerch zeta functions. More precisely, we prove L(λ, α, 1/2 + it) ≪ t\(^{13/84+ϵ}\) as t → ∞. For both, the Riemann zeta function as well as for the more general Lerch zeta function, it is conjectured that the right-hand side can be replaced by t\(^ϵ\) (which is the so-called Lindelöf hypothesis). The growth of an analytic function is closely related to the distribution of its zeros.
We give a collection of 16 examples which show that compositions \(g\) \(\circ\) \(f\) of well-behaved functions \(f\) and \(g\) can be badly behaved. Remarkably, in 10 of the 16 examples it suffices to take as outer function \(g\) simply a power-type or characteristic function. Such a collection of examples may serve as a source of exercises for a calculus course.
For a graph \(\Gamma\) , let K be the smallest field containing all eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of \(\Gamma\) . The algebraic degree \(\deg (\Gamma )\) is the extension degree \([K:\mathbb {Q}]\). In this paper, we completely determine the algebraic degrees of Cayley graphs over abelian groups and dihedral groups.
Mathematical concepts are regularly used in media reports concerning the Covid-19 pandemic. These include growth models, which attempt to explain or predict the effectiveness of interventions and developments, as well as the reproductive factor. Our contribution has the aim of showing that basic mental models about exponential growth are important for understanding media reports of Covid-19. Furthermore, we highlight how the coronavirus pandemic can be used as a context in mathematics classrooms to help students understand that they can and should question media reports on their own, using their mathematical knowledge. Therefore, we first present the role of mathematical modelling in achieving these goals in general. The same relevance applies to the necessary basic mental models of exponential growth. Following this description, based on three topics, namely, investigating the type of growth, questioning given course models, and determining exponential factors at different times, we show how the presented theoretical aspects manifest themselves in teaching examples when students are given the task of reflecting critically on existing media reports. Finally, the value of the three topics regarding the intended goals is discussed and conclusions concerning the possibilities and limits of their use in schools are drawn.
We generalize a theorem by Titchmarsh about the mean value of Hardy’s \(Z\)-function at the Gram points to the Hecke \(L\)-functions, which in turn implies the weak Gram law for them. Instead of proceeding analogously to Titchmarsh with an approximate functional equation we employ a different method using contour integration.
The concept of derivative is characterised with reference to four basic mental models. These are described as theoretical constructs based on theoretical considerations. The four basic mental models—local rate of change, tangent slope, local linearity and amplification factor—are not only quantified empirically but are also validated. To this end, a test instrument for measuring students’ characteristics of basic mental models is presented and analysed regarding quality criteria.
Mathematics students (n = 266) were tested with this instrument. The test results show that the four basic mental models of the derivative can be reconstructed among the students with different characteristics. The tangent slope has the highest agreement values across all tasks. The agreement on explanations based on the basic mental model of rate of change is not as strongly established among students as one would expect due to framework settings in the school system by means of curricula and educational standards. The basic mental model of local linearity plays a rather subordinate role. The amplification factor achieves the lowest agreement values. In addition, cluster analysis was conducted to identify different subgroups of the student population. Moreover, the test results can be attributed to characteristics of the task types as well as to the students’ previous experiences from mathematics classes by means of qualitative interpretation. These and other results of students’ basic mental models of the derivative are presented and discussed in detail.
