The Local Equivalence Problem in Cr Geometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article is dedicated to the centenary of the local CR equivalence problem, formulated by Henri Poincaré in 1907. The first part gives an account of Poincaré’s heuristic counting arguments, suggesting existence of infinitely many local CR invariants. Then we sketch the beautiful completion of Poincaré’s approach to the problem in the work of Chern and Moser on Levi nondegenerate hypersurfaces. The last part is an overview of recent progress in solving the problem on Levi degenerate manifolds.

Time-fixed geometry of 2nd order ODEs
Abstract : Let be a 2nd order ODE. By Cartan equivalence method, we will study the local equivalence problem under the transformations group of time-fixed coordinates. We are going to solve this problem by an applicable method which has been recognized by R. Gardner, and classify them.
متن کاملAn equivalence functor between local vector lattices and vector lattices
We call a local vector lattice any vector lattice with a distinguished positive strong unit and having exactly one maximal ideal (its radical). We provide a short study of local vector lattices. In this regards, some characterizations of local vector lattices are given. For instance, we prove that a vector lattice with a distinguished strong unit is local if and only if it is clean with non no-...
متن کاملThe Equivalence and the Embedding Problems for Cr-structures of Any Codimension
We give a solution to the equivalence and the embedding problems for smooth CRsubmanifolds of complex spaces (and, more generally, for abstract CR-manifolds) in terms of complete differential systems in jet bundles satisfied by all CR-equivalences or CR-embeddings respectively (local and global). For the equivalence problem, the manifolds are assumed to be of finite type and finitely nondegener...
متن کاملPartial Observation in Distributed Supervisory Control of Discrete-Event Systems
Distributed supervisory control is a method to synthesize local controllers in discrete-eventsystems with a systematic observation of the plant. Some works were reported on extending this methodby which local controllers are constructed so that observation properties are preserved from monolithic todistributed supervisory control, in an up-down approach. In this paper, we find circumstances in ...
متن کاملThe Equivalence Problem for Higher-codimensional Cr Structures
The equivalence problem for CR structures can be viewed as a special case of the equivalence problem for G-structure. This paper uses Cartan’s methods (in modernized form) to show that a CR manifold of codimension 3 or greater with suitably generic Levi form admits a canonical connection on a reduced structure bundle whose group is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of complex numbers. As c...
