The First Pontryagin Class
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a natural obstruction theoretic interpretation to the first Pontryagin class in terms of Courant algebroids. As an application we calculate the class of the stack of algebras of chiral differential operators. In particular, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the chiral de Rham complex.

A Topological Obstruction to Existence of Quaternionic Plücker Map
It is shown that there is no continuous map from the quaternionic Grassmannian Grk,n(k ≥ 2, n ≥ k + 2) to the quaternionic projective space HP ∞ such that the pullback of the first Pontryagin class of the tautological bundle over HP is equal to the first Pontryagin class of the tautological bundle over Grk,n. In fact some more precise statement is proved.
متن کاملA class of holomorphic Pontryagin spaces and expansions in orthogonal polynomials
We introduce two new classes of holomorphic Pontryagin spaces. Spaces in the first class consist of entire functions and in the second of functions analytic in a disk. These spaces admit reproducing kernels in the form of generalized hypergeometric series and are generalizations of the classical Fischer-Fock and Bergman spaces. In the first part of the paper we obtain representations for the in...
متن کاملThe Pontryagin maximum principle as an optimality criterion for a class of nonlinear control problems
It well known that the Pontryagin maximum principle is a necessary optimality condition for control problems. For linear control problems, it is also a sufficient condition, but for a nonlinear control problems in common form, it is not. We found a class of nonlinear control problems for which the Pontryagin maximum principle is also a sufficient optimality condition. This is a class of problem...
متن کاملThree-axis optimal control of satellite attitude based on Ponteryagin maximum principle
A long time ago, since the launch of the first artificial satellite in 1957, controling attitude of satellites has been considered by the designers and engineers of aerospace industry. Considering the importance of this issue various methods of control in response to this need have been presented and analyzed until now. In this paper, we propose and analyze a three-axis optimal control on the s...
متن کاملThe Pontryagin Maximum Principle and Transversality Conditions for a Class of Optimal Control Problems with Infinite Time Horizons
This paper suggests some further developments in the theory of first-order necessary optimality conditions for problems of optimal control with infinite time horizons. We describe an approximation technique involving auxiliary finite-horizon optimal control problems and use it to prove new versions of the Pontryagin maximum principle. Special attention is paid to the behavior of the adjoint var...
