چکیده
The tame flows are “nice” flows on “nice” spaces. The nice (tame) sets are the pfaffian sets introduced by Khovanski, and a flow Φ : R×X → X on pfaffian set X is tame if the graph of Φ is a pfaffian subset of R × X × X. Any compact tame set admits plenty tame flows. We prove that the flow determined by the gradient of a generic real analytic function with respect to a generic real analytic metric is tame. The typical tame gradient flow satisfies the Morse-Smale condition, and we prove that in the tame context the Morse-Smale condition is equivalent to the fact that the stratification by unstable manifolds is Verdier and Whitney regular. We explain how to compute the Conley indices of isolated stationary points of tame flows in terms of their unstable varieties, and then use this technology to produce a Morse theory on posets generalizing R. Forman’s discrete Morse theory. Finally, we use the Harvey-Lawson finite volume flow technique to produce a homotopy between the DeRham complex of a smooth manifold and the simplicial chain complex associated to a triangulation.

We study (g, 1)-knots and their strongly-cyclic branched coverings, proving the necessary and sufficient conditions for their existence and uniqueness, and characterizing their fundamental groups. As a relevant example, we prove that generalized periodic Takahashi manifolds belong to this family of manifolds.

Let f : X → Y be a perfect n-dimensional surjective map of paracompact spaces and Y a C-space. We consider the following property of continuous maps g : X → Ik = [0, 1], where 1 ≤ k ≤ ω: each g(f(y)), y ∈ Y , is at most n-dimensional. It is shown that all maps g ∈ C(X, In+1) with the above property form a dense Gδ-set in the function space C(X, I n+1 ) equipped with the source limitation topolo...

We give several remarks on Strichartz estimates for homogeneous wave equation with special attention to the cases of Lx estimates, radial solutions and initial data from the inhomogeneous Sobolev spaces. In particular, we give the failure of the endpoint estimate L 4 n−1 t Lx for n = 2, 3 even for data in inhomogeneous Sobolev spaces.
