Algebraic Reflexivity of Non-Canonical Isometries on Lipschitz Spaces

Let Lip([0,1]) be the Banach space of all Lipschitz complex-valued functions f on [0,1], equipped with one of the norms: fσ=|f(0)|+f′L∞ or fm=max|f(0)|,f′L∞, where ·L∞ denotes the essential supremum norm. It is known that the surjective linear isometries of such spaces are integral operators, rather than the more familiar weighted composition operators. In this paper, we describe the topological reflexive closure of the isometry group of Lip([0,1]). Namely, we prove that every approximate local isometry of Lip([0,1]) can be represented as a sum of an elementary weighted composition operator and an integral operator. This description allows us to establish the algebraic reflexivity of the sets of surjective linear isometries, isometric reflections, and generalized bi-circular projections of Lip([0,1]). Additionally, some complete characterizations of such reflections and projections are stated.

Skew Killing spinors in four dimensions

This paper is devoted to the classification of 4-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds carrying skew Killing spinors. A skew Killing spinor $$\psi $$ ψ is a spinor that satisfies the equation $$\nabla _X\psi =AX\cdot \psi $$ ∇ X ψ = A X · ψ with a skew-symmetric endomorphism A. We consider the degenerate case, where the rank of A is at most two everywhere and the non-degenerate case, where the rank of A is four everywhere. We prove that in the degenerate case the manifold is locally isometric to the Riemannian product $${\mathbb {R}}\times N$$ R × N with N having a skew Killing spinor and we explain under which conditions on the spinor the special case of a local isometry to $${\mathbb {S}}^2\times {\mathbb {R}}^2$$ S 2 × R 2 occurs. In the non-degenerate case, the existence of skew Killing spinors is related to doubly warped products whose defining data we will describe.

Analytic Extension of Riemannian Analytic Manifolds and Local Isometries

This article deals with a locally given Riemannian analytic manifold. One of the main tasks is to define its regular analytic extension in order to generalize the notion of completeness. Such extension is studied for metrics whose Lie algebra of all Killing vector fields has no center. The generalization of completeness for an arbitrary metric is given, too. Another task is to analyze the possibility of extending local isometry to isometry of some manifold. It can be done for metrics whose Lie algebra of all Killing vector fields has no center. For such metrics there exists a manifold on which any Killing vector field generates one parameter group of isometries. We prove the following almost necessary condition under which Lie algebra of all Killing vector fields generates a group of isometries on some manifold. Let g be Lie algebra of all Killing vector fields on Riemannian analytic manifold, h⊂g is its stationary subalgebra, z⊂g is its center and [g,g] is commutant. G is Lie group generated by g and is subgroup generated by h⊂g. If h∩(z+[g;g])=h∩[g;g], then H is closed in G.

Let mathcal M be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful normal finite trace tau, and let Sleft( mathcalM, tauright) be an ast -algebra of all tau -measurable operators affiliated with mathcal M . For x in Sleft( mathcalM, tauright) the generalized singular value function mu(x):trightarrow mu(tx), t0, is defined by the equality mu(tx)infxp_mathcalM:, p2pp in mathcalM, , tau(mathbf1-p)leq t. Let psi be an increasing concave continuous function on 0, infty) with psi(0) 0, psi(infty)infty, and let Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) left x in Sleft( mathcalM, tauright): x _psi int_0inftymu(tx)dpsi(t) infty right be the non-commutative Lorentz space. A surjective (not necessarily linear) mapping V:, Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) to Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) is called a surjective 2-local isometry, if for any x, y in Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) there exists a surjective linear isometry V_x, y:, Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) to Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) such that V(x) V_x, y(x) and V(y) V_x, y(y). It is proved that in the case when mathcalM is a factor, every surjective 2-local isometry V:Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) to Lambda_psi(mathcal M,tau) is a linear isometry.

Symmetric M-theory backgrounds

We classify symmetric backgrounds of eleven-dimensional supergravity up to local isometry. In other words, we classify triples (M, g, F), where (M,g) is an eleven-dimensional lorentzian locally symmetric space and F is an invariant 4-form, satisfying the equations of motion of eleven-dimensional supergravity. The possible (M,g) are given either by (not necessarily nondegenerate) Cahen-Wallach spaces or by products AdSd × M11−d for 2 ⩽ d ⩽ 7 and M11−d a not necessarily irreducible riemannian symmetric space. In most cases we determine the corresponding F-moduli spaces.

2-Local Isometries on Spaces of Lipschitz Functions

Let (X, d) be a metric space, and let Lip(X) denote the Banach space of all scalar-valued bounded Lipschitz functions ƒ on X endowed with one of the natural normswhere L(ƒ) is the Lipschitz constant of ƒ. It is said that the isometry group of Lip(X) is canonical if every surjective linear isometry of Lip(X) is induced by a surjective isometry of X. In this paper we prove that if X is bounded separable and the isometry group of Lip(X) is canonical, then every 2-local isometry of Lip(X) is a surjective linear isometry. Furthermore, we give a complete description of all 2-local isometries of Lip(X) when X is bounded.
