Calculated Kindness

Calculated Kindness

by Gil Loescher, John A. Scanlan

1998 · Simon and Schuster

"Powerful . . . well-documented, well-written, and most informative, ("Calculated Kindness") is . . . for all Americans who wish to better understand the often competing policies and principles that have regulated immigrations practices in the United States".--(Rev.) Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Dame.

The Dirichlet Problem for Parabolic Operators with Singular Drift Terms

The Dirichlet Problem for Parabolic Operators with Singular Drift Terms

by Steve Hofmann, John L. Lewis

2001 · American Mathematical Soc.

This memoir considers the Dirichlet problem for parabolic operators in a half space with singular drift terms. Chapter I begins the study of a parabolic PDE modelled on the pullback of the heat equation in certain time varying domains considered by Lewis-Murray and Hofmann-Lewis. Chapter II obtains mutual absolute continuity of parabolic measure and Lebesgue measure on the boundary of this halfspace and also that the $L DEGREESq(R DEGREESn)$ Dirichlet problem for these PDEs has a solution when $q$ is large enough. Chapter III proves an analogue of a theorem of Fefferman, Kenig, and Pipher for certain parabolic PDEs with singular drift terms. Each of the chapters that comprise this memoir has its own numbering system and list

Smooth Molecular Decompositions of Functions and Singular Integral Operators

Smooth Molecular Decompositions of Functions and Singular Integral Operators

by John E. Gilbert

2002 · American Mathematical Soc.

Under minimal assumptions on a function $\psi$ the authors obtain wavelet-type frames of the form $\psi_{j, k}(x) = r DEGREES{(1/2)n j} \psi(r DEGREESj x - sk), j \in \integer, k \in \integer DEGREESn, $ for some $r > 1$ and $s > 0$. This collection is shown to be a frame for a scale of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces (which includes Lebesgue, Sobolev and Hardy spaces) and the reproducing formula converges in norm as well as pointwise a.e. The construction follows from a characterization of those operators which are bounded on a space of smooth molecules. This characterization also allows us to decompose a broad range of singular integral operators in ter

Almost Commuting Elements in Compact Lie Groups

Almost Commuting Elements in Compact Lie Groups

by Armand Borel, Robert Friedman, John W. Morgan

2002 · American Mathematical Soc.

This text describes the components of the moduli space of conjugacy classes of commuting pairs and triples of elements in a compact Lie group. This description is in the extended Dynkin diagram of the simply connected cover, together with the co-root integers and the action of the fundamental group. In the case of three commuting elements, we compute Chern-Simons invariants associated to the corresponding flat bundles over the three-torus, and verify a conjecture of Witten which reveals a surprising symmetry involving the Chern-Simons invariants and the dimensions of the components of the moduli space.

Topological Invariants for Projection Method Patterns

Topological Invariants for Projection Method Patterns

by Alan Forrest, John Hunton, Johannes Kellendonk

2002 · American Mathematical Soc.

This memoir develops, discusses and compares a range of commutative and non-commutative invariants defined for projection method tilings and point patterns. The projection method refers to patterns, particularly the quasiperiodic patterns, constructed by the projection of a strip of a high dimensional integer lattice to a smaller dimensional Euclidean space. In the first half of the memoir the acceptance domain is very general - any compact set which is the closure of its interior - while in the second half the authors concentrate on the so-called canonical patterns. The topological invariants used are various forms of $K$-theory and cohomology applied to a variety of both $C DEGREES*$-algebras and dynamical systems derived from such a p
