The analysis of the hypoelliptic Laplacian

Author(s):  
Jean-Michel Bismut

This chapter constructs a functional analytic machinery that is adapted to the analysis of the hypoelliptic Laplacian ℒA,bX. The analysis of the hypoelliptic Laplacian essentially consists in the construction of Sobolev spaces on which the operators ℒA,bX act as unbounded operators, and in the proof of regularizing properties of their resolvents and of their heat operators. The heat operators are shown to be given by smooth kernels. To make the analysis easier, the chapter first works with a scalar hypoelliptic operator AbX. This operator does not contain a quartic term. The results on AbX then easily extend to a scalar operator AbX acting over X with circumflex, which also does not contain the quartic term. A scalar operator AbX on ̂X containing the quartic term is introduced. Finally, the chapter extends the analysis to the operator ℒA,bX.

This chapter presents a selection of some of the most important results in the theory of Sobolev spacesn. Special emphasis is placed on embedding theorems and the question as to whether an embedding map is compact or not. Some results concerning the k-set contraction nature of certain embedding maps are given, for both bounded and unbounded space domains: also the approximation numbers of embedding maps are estimated and these estimates used to classify the embeddings.

AbstractThe equations governing the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid around a rigid body that performs a prescribed time-periodic motion with constant axes of translation and rotation are investigated. Under the assumption that the period and the angular velocity of the prescribed rigid-body motion are compatible, and that the mean translational velocity is non-zero, existence of a time-periodic solution is established. The proof is based on an appropriate linearization, which is examined within a setting of absolutely convergent Fourier series. Since the corresponding resolvent problem is ill-posed in classical Sobolev spaces, a linear theory is developed in a framework of homogeneous Sobolev spaces.

Abstract We consider a holographic thermal state and perturb it by a scalar operator whose associated real-time Green’s function has only gapped poles. These gapped poles correspond to the non-hydrodynamic quasinormal modes of a massive scalar perturbation around a Schwarzschild black brane. Relations between pole-skipping points, critical points and quasinormal modes in general emerge when the mass of the scalar and hence the dual operator dimension is varied. First, this novel analysis reveals a relation between the location of a mode in the infinite tower of quasinormal modes and the number of pole-skipping points constraining its dispersion relation at imaginary momenta. Second, for the first time, we consider the radii of convergence of the derivative expansions about the gapped quasinormal modes. These convergence radii turn out to be bounded from above by the set of all pole-skipping points. Furthermore, a transition between two distinct classes of critical points occurs at a particular value for the conformal dimension, implying close relations between critical points and pole-skipping points in one of those two classes. We show numerically that all of our results are also true for gapped modes of vector and tensor operators.
