A homotopy method for finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors

Abstract

Suppose we want to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the linear operator L, and suppose that we have solved this problem for some other "nearby" operator K. In this paper we show how to represent the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of L in terms of the corresponding properties of K.

Operations on $\mathscr{M}\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(U)}\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$. Stokes theorem for locally convex linear space valued forms. Divergence theorem for locally convex linear space valued vector fields

We extend to $\mathscr{M}\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(U)}\mathfrak{T}_{\bullet}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the usual operations defined on $\mathfrak{T}_{\bullet}^{\bullet}(U,M)$, then by employing the properties of the projective tensor product of locally convex spaces, we generalize to $\mathscr{M}\otimes_{\mathcal{A}(U)}\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the usual wedge product, insertion operator and exterior differential defined on $\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ and establish their properties. Here $M$ is a smooth finite dimensional manifold, $U$ an open submanifold of $M$, $\mathcal{A}(U)$ the ring of smooth maps on $U$, $\mathfrak{T}_{\bullet}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the $\mathcal{A}(U)$-module of smooth tensor fields of $M$ defined on $U$, $\mathrm{Alt}^{\bullet}(U,M)$ the $\mathcal{A}(U)$-module of smooth alternating tensor fields of $M$ defined on $U$, while $\mathscr{M}$ is a $\mathcal{A}(U)$-module. $\mathscr{M}$ depending by the operation might be either general, or one of the following function spaces: $\mathscr{L}_{c}^{1}(U,G,λ)$, $\mathscr{L}_{loc}^{1}(U,G,λ)$, $\mathcal{B}^{p}(U,G)$ with $G$ a Hausdorff locally convex space. This framenwork permits to construct the divergence of a $G$-valued $p$-times continuously differentiable vector field, to define the weak integral of $G$-valued compactly supported scalarly integrable maximal forms, to associate a $G$-valued measure with any locally integrable $G$-valued form, to establish a Stokes type theorem for $G$-valued compactly supported $p$-times continuously differentiable forms and to obtain a divergence type theorem for $G$-valued $p$-times continously differentiable vector fields.

The Grothendieck Constant is Strictly Larger than Davie-Reeds' Bound

The Grothendieck constant $K_{G}$ is a fundamental quantity in functional analysis, with important connections to quantum information, combinatorial optimization, and the geometry of Banach spaces. Despite decades of study, the value of $K_{G}$ is unknown. The best known lower bound on $K_{G}$ was obtained independently by Davie and Reeds in the 1980s. In this paper we show that their bound is not optimal. We prove that $K_{G} \ge K_{DR} + 10^{-12}$, where $K_{DR}$ denotes the Davie-Reeds lower bound. Our argument is based on a perturbative analysis of the Davie-Reeds operator. We show that every near-extremizer for the Davie-Reeds problem has $Ω(1)$ weight on its degree-3 Hermite coefficients, and therefore introducing a small cubic perturbation increases the integrality gap of the operator.

Higher-order differentiability of Korevaar--Schoen energy forms and energy measures

In this paper, we investigate the differentiability of Korevaar--Schoen $p$-energy forms and the associated $p$-energy measures. We obtain higher-order derivatives by virtue of explicit realizations of Korevaar--Schoen $p$-energy forms and the associated $p$-energy measures as subsequential pointwise limits of certain double integrals.
