M ay 2 00 7 TAME FLOWS
نویسنده
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.

This appendix contains detailed solutions to many of the games discussed in Appendix A. Figure 1 summarizes the status of every octal game with at most three code digits. For each game Γ, the chart indicates whether Γ is tame or wild, and whether its normaland/or misère-play solution is known. Figures 2 and 4 present complete solutions to wild twoand three-digit octal games with relatively simp...

We study blowups of affine n-space with center an arbitrary monomial ideal and call monomial ideals that render smooth blowups tame ideals. We give a combinatorial criterion to decide whether the blowup is smooth and apply this criterion to discuss a smoothing procedure proposed by Rosenberg, monomial building sets and permutohedra.

In the framework of Sobolev (Bessel potential) spaces Hn(R,R or C), we consider the nonlinear Nemytskij operator sending a function x ∈ R 7→ f(x) into a composite function x ∈ R 7→ G(f(x), x). Assuming sufficient smoothness for G, we give a ”tame” bound on the Hn norm of this composite function in terms of a linear function of the Hn norm of f , with a coefficient depending on G and on the Ha n...

Continuity of set-valued maps is hereby revisited: after recalling some basic concepts of variational analysis and a short description of the State-of-the-Art, we obtain as by-product two Sard type results concerning local minima of scalar and vector valued functions. Our main result though, is inscribed in the framework of tame geometry, stating that a closed-valued semialgebraic set-valued ma...

We revisit Taylor dispersion in oscillatory flows at zero Reynolds number, giving an alternative method of calculating the Taylor dispersivity that is easier to use with computer algebra packages to obtain exact expressions. We consider the effect of out-of-phase oscillatory shear and Poiseuille flow, and show that the resulting Taylor dispersivity is independent of the phase difference. We als...
