Given a cocycle on a topological quiver by a locally compact group, the author constructs a skew product topological quiver and determines conditions under which a topological quiver can be identified as a skew product. We investigate the relationship between the ${C^*}$-algebra of the skew product and a certain native coaction on the ${C^*}$-algebra of the original quiver, finding that the crossed product by the coaction is isomorphic to the skew product. As an application, we show that the reduced crossed product by the dual action is Morita equivalent to the ${C^*}$-algebra of the original quiver.

We consider a class of nonhomogeneous elliptic equations in the half-space with critical singular boundary potentials and nonlinear fractional derivative terms. The forcing terms are considered on the boundary and can be taken as singular measure. Employing a functional setting and approach based on localization-in-frequency and Littlewood–Paley decomposition, we obtain results on solvability, regularity, and symmetry of solutions.

We study a system of nonlocal aggregation cross-diffusion PDEs that describe the evolution of opinion densities on a network. The PDEs are coupled with a system of ODEs that describe the time evolution of the agents on the network. Firstly, we apply the Deterministic Particle Approximation (DPA) method to the aforementioned system in order to prove the existence of solutions under suitable assumptions on the interactions between agents. Later on, we present an explicit model for opinion formation on an evolving network. The opinions evolve based on both the distance between the agents on the network and the ’attitude areas’, which depend on the distance between the agents’ opinions. The position of the agents on the network evolves based on the distance between the agents’ opinions. The goal is to study radicalisation, polarisation and fragmentation of the population while changing its open-mindedness and the radius of interaction.

We derive a global higher regularity result for weak solutions of the linear relaxed micromorphic model on smooth domains. The governing equations consist of a linear elliptic system of partial differential equations that is coupled with a system of Maxwell-type. The result is obtained by combining a Helmholtz decomposition argument with regularity results for linear elliptic systems and the classical embedding of $H(\operatorname {div};\Omega )\cap H_0(\operatorname {curl};\Omega )$ into $H^1(\Omega )$.

We show that any isometric immersion of a flat plane domain into ${\mathbb {R}}^3$ is developable provided it enjoys the little Hölder regularity $c^{1,2/3}$. In particular, isometric immersions of local $C^{1,\alpha }$ regularity with $\alpha >2/3$ belong to this class. The proof is based on the existence of a weak notion of second fundamental form for such immersions, the analysis of the Gauss–Codazzi–Mainardi equations in this weak setting, and a parallel result on the very weak solutions to the degenerate Monge–Ampère equation analysed in [M. Lewicka and M. R. Pakzad. Anal. PDE 10 (2017), 695–727.].

We introduce a new invariant, the conductor exponent, of a generic irreducible Casselman–Wallach representation of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n(F)$, where F is an archimedean local field, that quantifies the extent to which this representation may be ramified. We also determine a distinguished vector, the newform, occurring with multiplicity one in this representation, with the complexity of this vector measured in a natural way by the conductor exponent. Finally, we show that the newform is a test vector for $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n \times \operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n$ and $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n \times \operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_{n - 1}$ Rankin–Selberg integrals when the second representation is unramified. This theory parallels an analogous nonarchimedean theory due to Jacquet, Piatetski-Shapiro, and Shalika; combined, this completes a global theory of newforms for automorphic representations of $\operatorname {\mathrm {GL}}_n$ over number fields. By-products of the proofs include new proofs of Stade’s formulæ and a new resolution of the test vector problem for archimedean Godement–Jacquet zeta integrals.

This paper is inspired by a class of infinite order differential operators arising in quantum mechanics. They turned out to be an important tool in the investigation of evolution of superoscillations with respect to quantum fields equations. Infinite order differential operators act naturally on spaces of holomorphic functions or on hyperfunctions. Recently, infinite order differential operators have been considered and characterized on the spaces of entire monogenic functions, i.e. functions that are in the kernel of the Dirac operators. The focus of this paper is the characterization of infinite order differential operators that act continuously on a different class of hyperholomorphic functions, called slice hyperholomorphic functions with values in a Clifford algebra or also slice monogenic functions. This function theory has a very reach associated spectral theory and both the function theory and the operator theory in this setting are subjected to intensive investigations. Here we introduce the concept of proximate order and establish some fundamental properties of entire slice monogenic functions that are crucial for the characterization of infinite order differential operators acting on entire slice monogenic functions.

The purpose of this paper is to derive anisotropic mean curvature flow as the limit of the anisotropic Allen–Cahn equation. We rely on distributional solution concepts for both the diffuse and sharp interface models and prove convergence using relative entropy methods, which have recently proven to be a powerful tool in interface evolution problems. With the same relative entropy, we prove a weak–strong uniqueness result, which relies on the construction of gradient flow calibrations for our anisotropic energy functionals.

Let $\sigma _q \,:\,{{\mathbb{R}}^q} \to{\textbf{S}}^q\setminus N_q$ be the inverse of the stereographic projection with center the north pole $N_q$. Let $W_i$ be a closed subset of ${\mathbb{R}}^{q_i}$, for $i=1,2$. Let $\Phi \,:\,W_1 \to W_2$ be a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism. The main result states that the homeomorphism $\sigma _{q_2}\circ \Phi \circ \sigma _{q_1}^{-1}$ is a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism, extending bi-Lipschitz-ly at $N_{q_1}$ with value $N_{q_2}$ whenever $W_1$ is unbounded.

As two straightforward applications in the polynomially bounded o-minimal context over the real numbers, we obtain for free a version at infinity of: (1) Sampaio’s tangent cone result and (2) links preserving re-parametrization of definable bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of Valette.

In the context of random amenable group actions, we introduce the notions of random upper metric mean dimension with potentials and the random upper measure-theoretical metric mean dimension. Besides, we establish a variational principle for the random upper metric mean dimensions. At the end, we study the equilibrium state for random upper metric mean dimensions.

Given a set of standard binary patterns and a defective pattern, the pattern retrieval task is to find the closest pattern to the defective one among these standard patterns. The Hebbian network of Kuramoto oscillators with second-order coupling provides a dynamical model for this task, and the mutual orthogonality in memorised patterns enables us to distinguish these memorised patterns from most others in terms of stability. For the sake of error-free retrieval for general problems lacking orthogonality, a unified approach was proposed which transforms the problem into a series of subproblems with orthogonality using the orthogonal lift for two patterns. In this work, we propose the least orthogonal lift for three patterns, which evidently reduces the time of solving subproblems and even the dimensions of subproblems. Furthermore, we provide an estimate for the critical strength for stability/instability of binary patterns, which is convenient in practical use. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, we consider the question of smoothness of slowly varying functions satisfying the modern definition that, in the last two decades, gained prevalence in the applications concerning function spaces and interpolation. We show that every slowly varying function of this type is equivalent to a slowly varying function that has continuous classical derivatives of all orders.

The numerical range in the quaternionic setting is, in general, a non-convex subset of the quaternions. The essential numerical range is a refinement of the numerical range that only keeps the elements that have, in a certain sense, infinite multiplicity. We prove that the essential numerical range of a bounded linear operator on a quaternionic Hilbert space is convex. A quaternionic analogue of Lancaster theorem, relating the closure of the numerical range and its essential numerical range, is also provided.
