Title: Topology of Gleason Parts in Maximal Ideal Spaces with no Analytic Discs
Abstract We strengthen, in various directions, the theorem of Garnett that every $$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$$ -compact, completely regular space $$X$$ occurs as a Gleason part for some uniform algebra. In particular, we show that the uniform algebra can always be chosen so that its maximal ideal space contains no analytic discs. We show that when the space $$X$$ is metrizable, the uniform algebra can be chosen so that its maximal ideal space is metrizable as well. We also show that for every locally compact subspace $$X$$ of a Euclidean space, there is a compact set $$K$$ in some $$\mathbb{C}^{N}$$ so that $$\widehat{K}\backslash K$$ contains a Gleason part homeomorphic to  $$X$$ , and $$\widehat{K}$$ contains no analytic discs.  more » « less

  1. We consider a non-stationary sequence of independent random isometries of a compact metrizable space. Assuming that there are no proper closed subsets with deterministic image, we establish a weak-* convergence to the unique invariant under isometries measure, ergodic theorem and large deviation type estimate. We also show that all the results can be carried over to the case of a random walk on a compact metrizable group. In particular, we prove a non-stationary analog of classical Itô–Kawada theorem and give a new alternative proof for the stationary case.

  2. If I is an ideal in a Gorenstein ring S, and S/I is Cohen-Macaulay, then the same is true for any linked ideal I ; but such statements hold for residual intersections of higher codimension only under restrictive hypotheses, not satisfied even by ideals as simple as the ideal Ln of minors of a generic 2 × n matrix when n > 3. In this paper we initiate the study of a different sort of Cohen-Macaulay property that holds for certain general residual intersections of the maximal (interesting) codimension, one less than the analytic spread of I. For example, suppose that K is the residual intersection of Ln by 2n − 4 general quadratic forms in Ln. In this situation we analyze S/K and show that In−3(S/K) is a self-dual maximal Cohen-Macaulay S/K-module with linear free resolution over S. The technical heart of the paper is a result about ideals of analytic spread 1 whose high powers are linearly presented.

  3. Let G G be a connected, linear, real reductive Lie group with compact centre. Let K > G K>G be compact. Under a condition on K K , which holds in particular if K K is maximal compact, we give a geometric expression for the multiplicities of the K K -types of any tempered representation (in fact, any standard representation) π \pi of G G . This expression is in the spirit of Kirillov’s orbit method and the quantisation commutes with reduction principle. It is based on the geometric realisation of π | K \pi |_K obtained in an earlier paper. This expression was obtained for the discrete series by Paradan, and for tempered representations with regular parameters by Duflo and Vergne. We obtain consequences for the support of the multiplicity function, and a criterion for multiplicity-free restrictions that applies to general admissible representations. As examples, we show that admissible representations of SU ( p , 1 ) \textrm {SU}(p,1) , SO 0 ( p , 1 ) \textrm {SO}_0(p,1) , and SO 0 ( 2 , 2 ) \textrm {SO}_0(2,2) restrict multiplicity freely to maximal compact subgroups.

  4. The main goal of this paper is to prove, in positive characteristic p p , stability behavior for the graded Betti numbers in the periodic tails of the minimal resolutions of Frobenius powers of the homogeneous maximal ideals for very general choices of hypersurface in three variables whose degree has the opposite parity to that of p p . We also find some of the structure of the matrix factorization giving the resolution. We achieve this by developing a method for obtaining the degrees of the generators of the defining ideal of an c \mathfrak {c} -compressed Gorenstein Artinian graded algebra from its socle degree, where c \mathfrak {c} is a Frobenius power of the homogeneous maximal ideal. As an application, we also obtain the Hilbert–Kunz function of the hypersurface ring, as well as the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the quotients by Frobenius powers of the homogeneous maximal ideal.

  5. We prove that large classes of algebras in the framework of root of unity quantum cluster algebras have the structures of maximal orders in central simple algebras and Cayley–Hamilton algebras in the sense of Procesi. We show that every root of unity upper quantum cluster algebra is a maximal order and obtain an explicit formula for its reduced trace. Under mild assumptions, inside each such algebra we construct a canonical central subalgebra isomorphic to the underlying upper cluster algebra, such that the pair is a Cayley–Hamilton algebra; its fully Azumaya locus is shown to contain a copy of the underlying cluster A \mathcal {A} -variety. Both results are proved in the wider generality of intersections of mixed quantum tori over subcollections of seeds. Furthermore, we prove that all monomial subalgebras of root of unity quantum tori are Cayley–Hamilton algebras and classify those ones that are maximal orders. Arbitrary intersections of those over subsets of seeds are also proved to be Cayley–Hamilton algebras. Previous approaches to constructing maximal orders relied on filtration and homological methods. We use new methods based on cluster algebras.
