  • Delta-semidefinite and Delta-convex Quadratic Forms in Banach Spaces
    Positivity, 2008
    Co-Authors: Nigel Kalton, Sergei V. Konyagin, Libor Veselý
    Abstract:

    A continuous quadratic form (“quadratic form”, in short) on a Banach space X is: (a) delta-semidefinite (i.e., representable as a difference of two nonnegative quadratic forms) if and only if the corresponding Symmetric Linear Operator $$T: X\rightarrow X^*$$ factors through a Hilbert space; (b) delta-convex (i.e., representable as a difference of two continuous convex functions) if and only if T is a UMD-Operator. It follows, for instance, that each quadratic form on an infinite-dimensional L _ p ( μ ) space (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) is: (a) delta-semidefinite iff p ≥ 2; (b) delta-convex iff p > 1. Some other related results concerning delta-convexity are proved and some open probms are stated.

  • Delta-semidefinite and delta-convex quadratic forms in Banach spaces
    arXiv: Functional Analysis, 2006
    Co-Authors: Nigel Kalton, Sergei V. Konyagin, Libor Veselý
    Abstract:

    A continuous quadratic form ("quadratic form", in short) on a Banach space $X$ is: (a) delta-semidefinite (i.e., representable as a difference of two nonnegative quadratic forms) if and only if the corresponding Symmetric Linear Operator $T\colon X\to X^*$ factors through a Hilbert space; (b) delta-convex (i.e., representable as a difference of two continuous convex functions) if and only if $T$ is a UMD-Operator. It follows, for instance, that each quadratic form on an infinite-dimensional $L_p(\mu)$ space ($1\le p \le\infty$) is: (a) delta-semidefinite iff $p \ge 2$; (b) delta-convex iff $p>1$. Some other related results concerning delta-convexity are proved and some open problems are stated.

  • The B. and M. Shapiro conjecture in real algebraic geometry and the Bethe ansatz
    Annals of Mathematics, 2009
    Co-Authors: Evgeny Mukhin, Vitaly Tarasov, Alexander Varchenko
    Abstract:

    We prove the B. and M. Shapiro conjecture that if the Wronskian of a set of polynomials has real roots only, then the complex span of this set of polynomials has a basis consisting of polynomials with real coefficients. This, in particular, implies the following result: If all ramification points of a parametrized rational curve φ: ℂℙ 1 → ℂℙ r lie on a circle in the Riemann sphere ℂℙ 1 , then φ maps this circle into a suitable real subspace ℝℙ r ⊂ ℂℙ r . The proof is based on the Bethe ansatz method in the Gaudin model. The key observation is that a Symmetric Linear Operator on a Euclidean space has real spectrum. In Appendix A, we discuss properties of differential Operators associated with Bethe vectors in the Gaudin model. In particular, we prove a statement, which may be useful in complex algebraic geometry; it claims that certain Schubert cycles in a Grassmannian intersect transversally if the spectrum of the corresponding Gaudin Hamiltonians is simple. In Appendix B, we formulate a conjecture on reality of orbits of critical points of master functions and prove this conjecture for master functions associated with Lie algebras of types A r , B r and C r .

  • The B. and M. Shapiro conjecture in real algebraic geometry and the Bethe ansatz
    arXiv: Algebraic Geometry, 2005
    Co-Authors: Evgeny Mukhin, Vitaly Tarasov, Alexander Varchenko
    Abstract:

    We prove the B. and M. Shapiro conjecture that says that if the Wronskian of a set of polynomials has real roots only, then the complex span of this set of polynomials has a basis consisting of polynomials with real coefficients. This in particular implies the following result: If all ramification points of a parametrized rational curve $ f : CP^1 \to CP^r $ lie on a circle in the Riemann sphere $ CP^1 $, then $f$ maps this circle into a suitable real subspace $ RP^r \subset CP^r $. The proof is based on the Bethe ansatz method in the Gaudin model. The key observation is that a Symmetric Linear Operator on a Euclidean space has a real spectrum. In Appendix we discuss properties of differential Operators associated with Bethe vectors in the Gaudin model and, in particular, prove a conditional statement: we deduce the transversality of certain Schubert cycles in a Grassmannian from the simplicity of the spectrum of the Gaudin Hamiltonians.

  • Dirac structures and Boundary Control Systems associated with Skew-Symmetric Differential Operators
    Siam Journal on Control and Optimization, 2005
    Co-Authors: Y. Le Gorrec, Hans Zwart, Bernhard Maschke
    Abstract:

    Associated with a skew-Symmetric Linear Operator on the spatial domain $[a,b]$ we define a Dirac structure which includes the port variables on the boundary of this spatial domain. This Dirac structure is a subspace of a Hilbert space. Naturally, associated with this Dirac structure is an infinite-dimensional system. We parameterize the boundary port variables for which the \( C_{0} \)-semigroup associated with this system is contractive or unitary. Furthermore, this parameterization is used to split the boundary port variables into inputs and outputs. Similarly, we define a Linear port controlled Hamiltonian system associated with the previously defined Dirac structure and a Symmetric positive Operator defining the energy of the system. We illustrate this theory on the example of the Timoshenko beam.

  • a semigroup approach to port hamiltonian systems associated with Linear skew Symmetric Operator
    16th International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems MTNS 2004, 2004
    Co-Authors: Le Y Gorrec, Heiko J Zwart, Bernhard Maschke
    Abstract:

    In this paper we first define a Dirac structure on a Hilbert spaces associated with a skew-Symmetric Linear Operator including port variables on the boundary of its domain. Secondly, we associate $C_0$-semigroup with some parameterization of the boundary port variables and define a family of boundary control systems. Thirdly we define a Linear port controlled Hamiltonian system associated with the previously defined Dirac structure and generated by a Symmetric positive Operator defining the energy of the system.
