optimal decay rates for solutions of a nonlinear wave equation with localized nonlinear dissipation of unrestricted growth and critical exponent source terms under mixed boundary conditions abstract this article investigates optimal decay rates for solutions to a semilinear hyperbolic equation with localized interior damping and a source term both dissipation and the source are fully nonlinear and the growth rate of the source map may include critical exponents for sobolev s embedding h 1 l 2 besides continuity and monotonicity no growth or regularity assumptions are imposed on the damping we analyze the system in the presence of neumann type boundary conditions including the mixed cases dirichlet neumann robin the damping affects a thin layer a collar near a portion of the boundary to cope with the lack of control on the remaining section we develop a special method that accounts for propagation of the energy estimates from the dissipative region onto the entire domain the neumann system does not satisfy the lopatinski condition in higher dimensions hence the study of energy propagation in the absence of damping near the neumann segment requires special geometric considerations

complex geometry and the asymptotics of harish chandra modules for real reductive lie groups i let g be a connected semisimple real matrix group it is now apparent that the representation theory of g is intimately connected with the complex geometry of the flag variety 9 by studying appropriate orbit structures on 9 we are naturally led to representation theory in the category of harish chandra modules x or the representation theory of category 9 the jacquet functor j f 9 has proved a useful tool in converting yfw problems into 9 problems which are often more tractable in this paper we advance the philosophy that the complex geometry of 9 associated to yf and 9 interacts in a natural way with the functor j leading to deep new information on the structure of jacquet modules this in turn gives new insight into the structure of certain nilpotent cohomology groups associated to harish chandra modules our techniques are based upon many of the ideas present in the proof of the kazhdan lusztig conjectures and bernstein s proof of the jantzen conjecture

localization and standard modules for real semisimple lie groups i the duality theorem in this paper we relate two constructions of representations of semisimple lie groups constructions that appear quite different at first glance homogeneous vector bundles are one source of representations if a real semisimple lie group go acts on a vector bundle e m over a quotient space m go ho then go acts also on the space of sections c m e and on any subspace vcc m e defined by a go invariant system of differential equations ordinary induction so called cohomological induction and the construction of representations by quantizat ion all fit into the framework of homogeneous vector bundles for any complex semisimple lie algebra g there is an equivalence of categories due to beilinson bernstein 1 between modules on the one hand and sheaves of modules over the flag variety x of g on the other in the context of real semisimple lie groups this equivalence of categories associates infinitesimal representations to orbits in the flag variety of the complexified lie algebra orbits not of the group go itself but of the complexification of maximal compact subgroup ko c go we shall show that these beilinson bernstein modules are naturally dual to modules attached to certain homogeneous vector bundles in the special case of a compact group both the beilinson bernstein construction and the construction via homogeneous vector bundles reduce to the borel weil bott theorem our duality theorem is then a particular instance of serre duality

new trends towards lower energy estimates and optimality for nonlinearly damped vibrating systems abstract we present an approach based on comparison principles for energy and interpolation properties to derive lower energy estimates for nonlinearly either locally damped or boundary damped vibrating systems we show how the dissipation relation provides strong information on the asymptotic behavior of the energy of solutions the geometrical situations are either one dimensional or radial two dimensional or three dimensional for annulus domains we also consider the case of general domains but in this case for solutions with bounded velocities in time and space in all these cases the nonlinear damping function is assumed to have arbitrary strictly sublinear growth at the origin we give results for strong solutions and stronger lower estimates for smoother solutions the results are presented in two forms either on the side of energy comparison principles or through time pointwise lower estimates under additional geometric assumptions we give the resulting lower and upper estimates for four representative examples of damping functions we further give a weak lower estimate in the sense of a certain lim sup t and an upper estimate of the velocity for smoother solutions in case of general damping functions and for radial as well as multi dimensional domains we also discuss these estimates in the framework of optimality which is not proved here and indicate open problems raised by these results

a unified approach via convexity for optimal energy decay rates of finite and infinite dimensional vibrating damped systems with applications to semi discretized vibrating damped systems the liapunov method is celebrated for its strength to establish strong decay of solutions of damped equations extensions to infinite dimensional settings have been studied by several authors see e g haraux 1991 11 and komornik and zuazua 1990 17 and references therein results on optimal energy decay rates under general conditions of the feedback is far from being complete the purpose of this paper is to show that general dissipative vibrating systems have structural properties due to dissipation we present a general approach based on convexity arguments to establish sharp optimal or quasi optimal upper energy decay rates for these systems and on comparison principles based on the dissipation property and interpolation inequalities in the infinite dimensional case for lower bounds of the energy we stress the fact that this method works for finite as well as infinite dimensional vibrating systems and as well as for applications to semi discretized nonlinear damped vibrating pde s a part of this approach has been introduced in alabau boussouira 2004 2005 1 2 in the present paper we identify a new simple and explicit criteria to select a class of nonlinear feedbacks for which we prove a simplified explicit energy decay formula comparatively to the more general but also more complex formula we give in alabau boussouira 2004 2005 1 2 moreover we prove optimality of the decay rates for this class in the finite dimensional case this class includes a wide range of feedbacks ranging from very weak nonlinear dissipation exponentially decaying in a neighborhood of zero to polynomial or polynomial logarithmic decaying feedbacks at the origin in the infinite dimensional case we establish a comparison principle on the energy of sufficiently smooth solutions through the dissipation relation this principle relies on suitable interpolation inequalities it allows us to give lower bounds for the energy of smooth initial data for the one dimensional wave equation with a distributed polynomial damping which improves haraux 1995 12 lower estimate of the energy for this case we also establish lower bounds in the multi dimensional case for sufficiently smooth solutions when such solutions exist we further mention applications of these various results to several classes of pde s namely the locally and boundary damped multi dimensional wave equation the locally damped plate equation and the globally damped coupled timoshenko beams system but it applies to several other examples furthermore we show that these optimal energy decay results apply to finite dimensional systems obtained from spatial discretization of infinite dimensional damped systems we illustrate these results on the one dimensional locally damped wave and plate equations discretized by finite differences and give the optimal energy decay rates for these two examples these optimal rates are not uniform with respect to the discretization parameter we also discuss and explain why optimality results have to be stated differently for feedbacks close to linear behavior at the origin

bgg algebras and the bgg reciprocity principle the bgg reciprocity principle is a famous result in the representation theary of complex semisimple lie algebras proved by bernstein gelfand and gelfand in bgg 21 it may be viewed as an analogue for the category 6 of the brauer reciprocity principle in the modular representation theory of finite groups and of humphreys reciprocity principle in the representation theory of restricted lie algebras indeed the result of humphreys served as motivation for the bgg result similar results have since been proved in a number of other settings by various approaches for all these results one works in a suitable category of modules in which each simple module l has a projective cover p in addition there is a family of intermediate modules mi such that each p has a filtration with m s as quotients then the appropriate reciprocity principle states that m occurs as a filtration quotient in p as often as l occurs as a composition factor in mi in the case of the category 0 the simple modules are the simple highest weight modules the category is introduced as a setting for projective covers to exist and the intermediate modules are the verma modules the proof of bgg reciprocity in bgg 21 is fairly straightforward once the basic facts about the category 0 are developed the crucial point is the construction of enough projective modules in 0 once these are constructed the existence of projective covers the existence of suitable filtrations on these and the reciprocity principle are ail proved with reference to the construction however another proof of reciprocity exists which is more natural in the sense that it makes no further reference to the construction of projective modules this proof can be used in some of the other settings as well although in any given setting no drastic simplifications result i believe it is still worthwhile to draw attention to this more conceptual approach the properties of the category 0 which are needed for the proof may be

regularity of higher energies of wave equation with nonlinear localized damping and a nonlinear source abstract wave equation driven by a nonlinear dissipative source and subjected to a nonlinear damping that is localized on a small region near the boundary is considered while finite energy h 1 l 2 solutions to this problem are bounded uniformly for all times t 0 this property generally fails for higher energy norms h 2 h 1 this is due to a generation of higher energy by the source and the ultimate loss of dissipativity however the presence of the damping may turn things around by counteracting the sources also at the higher energy levels the benefits of this counteraction depend on the nonlinear characteristics of dissipation any deviation from linearity be it origin or infinity causes degradation of the damping hence of decay rates of finite energy this in turn is shown to have an adverse effect on the stability of higher energies the main aim of this paper is to provide a quantitative analysis of the interaction between nonlinearity of the damping and nonlinearity of the source we show that under some correlation between growth rates of the damping and the source the norms of topological order above the finite energy level remain globally bounded for all times

schubert cells and representation theory let g be a linear real reductive group and let p be a parabolic subgroup the bruhat decomposition of g gives a cellular decomposition of the generalized flag manifold x g p originating in the work of schubert on grassmann manifolds this cellular decomposition was used by ehresmann eh to give a proof of the basis theorem for the integral cohomology of grassmannians since ehresmann it has been clear that for a generalized flag manifold x a more detailed understanding of this decomposition by generalized schubert cells would provide a determination of the integral co homology of x the aim of this article is to give a representation theoretic determination of the differentials in the schubert cell decomposition of x and thereby obtain a combinatorial description of the integral co homology of x our primary tool will be the infinite dimensional representation theory of g if g and p are complex groups elementary considerations show that all schubert cells define non zero integral homology classes and that none are torsion moreover the cohomology has the well known connection to finitedimensional representation theory ct ko1 ko2 bt for real groups g and p even in low dimensions torsion can be present in the homology of real flag manifolds thus the major new development in this paper is that the infinite dimensional representation theory of g detects which real schubert cells define integral in particular torsion classes in the co homology the innovation on the representation theoretic side that makes possible the consideration of co homology with integer coefficients is the geometric formulation of representation theory introduced by beilinson bernstein to compute homology we use a topological technique that applies to spaces with filtration let x p be the union of schubert cells whose dimension
