A Non-split Torsor with Trivial Fixed Point Obstruction

نویسنده

چکیده

Let G be a linear algebraic group and X be an irreducible algebraic variety with a generically free G-action, all defined over an algebraically closed base field of characteristic zero. It is well known that X can be viewed as a G-torsor, representing a class [X] in H(K,G), where K is the field of G-invariant rational functions on X. We have previously shown that if X has a smooth H-fixed point for some nontoral diagonalizable subgroup of G then [X] 6= 1. It is natural to ask if the converse is true, assuming G is connected and X is projective and smooth. In this note we show that the answer is “no”.

Fixed point results for Su-type contractive mappings with an application

‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the concept of Su-type contractive mapping and establish fixed point theorems for such mappings in the setting of ordered‎ ‎extended partial $b$-metric space‎. ‎We also develop an‎ ‎application for Fredholm type integral equations to‎ ‎validate our main result and a non-trivial example is given to‎ ‎elucidate our work.

Equivariant Vector Fields on Non-trivial So3-torsors and Differential Galois Theory

We show how to produce SO3-equivariant vector fields on non-trivial SO3-torsors which correspond to quadratic forms non-equivalent to the unit form. We then show an example of a Picard-Vessiot extension with group SO3 which is the function field of a non-trivial SO3-torsor.

Restriction of Sections for Families of Abelian Varieties

Given a family of Abelian varieties over a positive-dimensional base, we prove that for a sufficiently general curve in the base, every rational section of the family over the curve is contained in a unique rational section over the entire base. 1. Main results sec-intro The starting point for this article is the following theorem. Theorem 1.1. [GHMS05, Theorem 6.2] Let B be a smooth, quasi-pro...

Equivariant vector fields on non-trivial SOn-torsors and differential Galois theory

We show how to produce SOn-equivariant vector fields on non-trivial SOn-torsors which correspond to quadratic forms non-equivalent to the unit form. For n 3 we then give an example of a Picard–Vessiot extension with group SOn which is the function field of a non-trivial SOn-torsor. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A New Measure of Instability and Topological Entropy of Area-preserving Twist Diffeomorphisms

We introduce a new measure of instability of areapreserving twist diffeomorphisms, which generalizes the notions of angle of splitting of separatrices, and flux through a gap of a Cantori. As an example of application, we establish a sharp > 0 lower bound on the topological entropy in a neighbourhood of a hyperbolic, unique action-minimizing fixed point, assuming only no topological obstruction...
