We give a superconnection proof of Connes’ index theorem for proper cocompact actions of étale groupoids. This includes Connes’ general foliation index theorem for foliations with Hausdor¤ holonomy groupoid.

Abstract We show that the universal minimal proximal flow and strongly of a discrete group can be realized as Stone spaces translation-invariant Boolean algebras subsets satisfying higher-order notion syndeticity. establish algebraic, combinatorial topological dynamical characterizations these we use to obtain new necessary sufficient conditions for strong amenability amenability. also characte...

We propose a general formalism of iterated random functions with semigroup property, under which exact and approximate Bayesian posterior updates can be viewed as specific instances. A convergence theory for iterated random functions is presented. As an application of the general theory we analyze convergence behaviors of exact and approximate message-passing algorithms that arise in a sequenti...

Let Lω(G) be a Beurling algebra on a locally compact abelian group G. We look for general conditions on the weight which allows the vanishing of continuous derivations of Lω(G). This leads us to introducing vector-valued Beurling algebras and considering the translation of operators on them. This is then used to connect the augmentation ideal to the behavior of derivation space. We apply these ...

Hypersonic vehicle has gained increasing attention due to its high cruise speed and long voyage. In this paper, an enhanced Sequential Approximate Optimization method is proposed for aerodynamic optimization of a hypersonic vehicle. method, constrained design experiment adopted generate the initial sampling set with adequate number feasible points. A field metamodel surrogate parameters distrib...
