Intends to prove a functional equation for a local zeta function attached to the minimal spherical series for a class of real reductive symmetric spaces.

The aim of this paper is to prove a functional equation for a local zeta function attached to the minimal spherical series for a class of real reductive symmetric spaces. These symmetric spaces are obtained as follows. We consider a graded simple real Lie algebra $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}$ of the form $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}=V^-\oplus \mathfrak g\oplus V^+$, where $[\mathfrak g,V^+]\subset V^+$, $[\mathfrak g,V^-]\subset V^-$ and $[V^-,V^+]\subset \mathfrak g$. If the graded algebra is regular, then a suitable group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ has a finite number of open orbits in $V^+$, each of them is a realization of a symmetric space $G\slash H_p$.The functional equation gives a matrix relation between the local zeta functions associated to $H_p$-invariant distributions vectors for the same minimal spherical representation of $G$. This is a generalization of the functional equation obtained by Godement} and Jacquet for the local zeta function attached to a coefficient of a representation of $GL(n,\mathbb R)$.

Intends to prove the monodromy conjecture for the local Igusa zeta function of a quasi-ordinary polynomial of arbitrary dimension defined over a number field. In order to do it, this title computes the local Denef-Loeser motivic zeta function $Z_{\text{DL}}(h, T)$ of a quasi-ordinary power series $h$ of arbitrary dimension

This book focuses on a conjectural class of zeta integrals which arose from a program born in the work of Braverman and Kazhdan around the year 2000, the eventual goal being to prove the analytic continuation and functional equation of automorphic L-functions. Developing a general framework that could accommodate Schwartz spaces and the corresponding zeta integrals, the author establishes a formalism, states desiderata and conjectures, draws implications from these assumptions, and shows how known examples fit into this framework, supporting Sakellaridis' vision of the subject. The collected results, both old and new, and the included extensive bibliography, will be valuable to anyone who wishes to understand this program, and to those who are already working on it and want to overcome certain frequently occurring technical difficulties.

Fermionic expressions for all minimal model Virasoro characters $\chi DEGREES{p, p'}_{r, s}$ are stated and proved. Each such expression is a sum of terms of fundamental fermionic f

Presents a study of Wave Maps from ${\mathbf{R}}^{2+1}$ to the hyperbolic plane ${\mathbf{H}}^{2}$ with smooth compactly supported initial data which are close to smooth spherically symmetric initial data with respect to some $H^{1+\mu}$, $\mu>0$.

The theory of one-sided $M$-ideals and multipliers of operator spaces is simultaneously a generalization of classical $M$-ideals, ideals in operator algebras, and aspects of the theory of Hilbert $C*$-modules and their maps. Here we give a systematic exposition of this theory. The main part of this memoir consists of a 'calculus' for one-sided $M$-ideals and multipliers, i.e. a collection of the properties of one-sided $M$-ideals and multipliers with respect to the basic constructions met in functional analysis. This is intended to be a reference tool for 'noncommutative functional analysts' who may encounter a one-sided $M$-ideal or multiplier in their work.

A number of interpolation problems are considered in the Schur class of $p\times q$ matrix valued functions $S$ that are analytic and contractive in the open unit disk. The interpolation constraints are specified in terms of nontangential limits and angular derivatives at one or more (of a finite number of) boundary points. Necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions to these problems and a description of all the solutions when these conditions are met is given.The analysis makes extensive use of a class of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces ${\mathcal{H (S)$ that was introduced by de Branges and Rovnyak. The Stein equation that is associated with the interpolation problems under consideration is analyzed in detail. A lossless inverse scattering problem isalso considered.

In this memoir, we prove that the universal Teichmuller space $T(1)$ carries a new structure of a complex Hilbert manifold and show that the connected component of the identity of $T(1)$ -- the Hilbert submanifold $T {0 (1)$ -- is a topological group. We define a Weil-Petersson metric on $T(1)$ by Hilbert space inner products on tangent spaces, compute its Riemann curvature tensor, and show that $T(1)$ is a Kahler-Einstein manifold with negative Ricci and sectional curvatures. We introduce and compute Mumford-Miller-Morita characteristic forms for the vertical tangent bundle of the universal Teichmuller curve fibration over the universal Teichmuller space. As an application, we derive Wolpert curvature formulas for the finite-dimensional Teichmuller spaces from the formulas for the universal Teichmuller space. We study in detail the Hilbert manifold structure on $T {0 (1)$ and characterize points on $T {0 (1)$ in terms of Bers and pre-Bers embeddings by proving that the Grunsky operators $B {1 $ and The results of this memoir were presented in our e-prints: Weil-Petersson metric on the universal Teichmuller space I.
