    27 pages, no figures.-- MSC2000 codes: 30F20, 30F45.MR#: MR2243795 (2007e:30063)Zbl#: Zbl 1108.30031We prove results on geodesic metric spaces which guarantee that some spaces are not hyperbolic in the Gromov sense. We use these theorems in order to study the hyperbolicity of Riemann surfaces. We obtain a criterion on the genus of a surface which implies non-hyperbolicity. We also include a characterization of the hyperbolicity of a Riemann surface S* obtained by deleting a closed set from one original surface S. In the particular case when the closed set is a union of continua and isolated points, the results clarify the role of punctures and funnels (and other more general ends) in the hyperbolicity of Riemann surfaces.Research by all three authors partially supported by a grant from DGI (BFM 2003-04870), Spain.

    Faithfulness of actions on Riemann-Roch spaces

    No full text
    Given a faithful action of a finite group G on an algebraic curve X of genus g > 1, we give explicit criteria for the induced action of G on the Riemann-Roch space H^0(X,O_X(D)) to be faithful, where D is a G-invariant divisor on X of degree at least 2g-2. This leads to a concise answer to the question when the action of G on the space H^0(X, \Omega_X^m) of global holomorphic polydifferentials of order m is faithful. If X is hyperelliptic, we furthermore provide an explicit basis of H^0(X, \Omega_X^m). Finally, we give applications in deformation theory and in coding theory and we discuss the analogous problem for the action of G on the first homology H_1(X, Z/mZ) if X is a Riemann surface

    The holomorphic flow of the Riemann zeta function

    No full text
    The flow of the Riemann zeta function, ś = ς(s), is considered, and phase portraits are presented. Attention is given to the characterization of the flow lines in the neighborhood of the first 500 zeros on the critical line. All of these zeros are foci. The majority are sources, but in a small proportion of exceptional cases the zero is a sink. To produce these portraits, the zeta function was evaluated numerically to 12 decimal places, in the region of interest, using the Chebyshev method and using Mathematica. The phase diagrams suggest new analytic properties of zeta, of which some are proved and others are given in the form of conjectures

    Linear law for the logarithms of the Riemann periods at simple critical zeta zeros

    No full text
    Each simple zero 1/2 + iγn of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line with γn > 0 is a center for the flow s˙ = ξ(s) of the Riemann xi function with an associated period Tn. It is shown that, as γn →∞, log Tn ≥ π/4 γn + O(log γn). Numerical evaluation leads to the conjecture that this inequality can be replaced by an equality. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a zeta zero separation conjecture γn+1 − γn≥ γn-θ for some exponent θ > 0, we obtain the upper bound log Tn ≤ γn2 + θ Assuming a weakened form of a conjecture of Gonek, giving a bound for the reciprocal of the derivative of zeta at each zero, we obtain the expected upper bound for the periods so, conditionally, log Tn = π/ 4 γn +O(log γn). Indeed, this linear relationship is equivalent to the given weakened conjecture, which implies the zero separation conjecture, provided the exponent is sufficiently large. The frequencies corresponding to the periods relate to natural eigenvalues for the Hilbert–Polya conjecture. They may provide a goal for those seeking a self-adjoint operator related to the Riemann hypothesis

    Riemann Invariants and Rank-k Solutions of Hyperbolic Systems

    No full text
    In this paper we employ a "direct method" in order to obtain rank-k solutions of any hyperbolic system of first order quasilinear differential equations in many dimensions. We discuss in detail the necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of these type of solutions written in terms of Riemann invariants. The most important characteristic of this approach is the introduction of specific first order side conditions consistent with the original system of PDEs, leading to a generalization of the Riemann invariant method of solving multi-dimensional systems of PDEs. We have demonstrated the usefulness of our approach through several examples of hydrodynamic type systems; new classes of solutions have been obtained in a closed form

    On the Adams-Riemann-Roch theorem in positive characteristic. [With an appendix by B. Koeck: Another formula for the Bott element]

    No full text
    We give a new proof of the Adams-Riemann-Roch theorem for a smooth projective morphism X ? Y, in the situation where Y is a scheme of characteristic p > 0, which is of finite type over a noetherian ring and carries an ample line bundle. This theorem implies the Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch theorem in characteristic 0. We also answer a question of B. Koeck.[Appendix: The object of the appendix is to give another formula for the Bott element of a smooth morphism. This formula is analogous to a formula in the main part of the paper and extends a list of miraculous analogies explained in an earlier paper.

    Uma generalização da Integral de Riemann

    No full text
    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Físicas e Matemáticas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Matemática e Computação Científica.Neste trabalho, estudamos uma modificação da Integral de Riemann, a Integral Henstock-Kurzweil, ou Integral de Riemann Generalizada, ou ainda, Integral "Gauge"(denotamos Integral R*). Mostramos o Teorema de Hake e o Lema de Saks-Henstock, e estes servem como ferramentas na aplicação da Integral R*. Esta integral contrasta com outras integrais, em particular com respeito a formulação do Teorema Fundamental do Cálculo, e sua respectiva classe de funções integráveis. Nós provamos que a Integral R* permite um elegante Teorema Fundamental e concluímos que integra uma classe maior de funções que a integral de Lebesgue, a qual generaliza

    Conditional Symmetries and Riemann Invariants for Hyperbolic Systems of PDEs

    No full text
    This paper contains an analysis of rank-k solutions in terms of Riemann invariants, obtained from interrelations between two concepts, that of the symmetry reduction method and of the generalized method of characteristics for first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems of PDEs in many dimensions. A variant of the conditional symmetry method for obtaining this type of solutions is proposed. A Lie module of vector fields, which are symmetries of an overdetermined system defined by the initial system of equations and certain first order differential constraints, is constructed. It is shown that this overdetermined system admits rank-k solutions expressible in terms of Riemann invariants. Finally, examples of applications of the proposed approach to the fluid dynamics equations in (k+1) dimensions are discussed in detail. Several new soliton-like solutions (among them kinks, bumps and multiple wave solutions) have been obtained
