Description

This book is the result of research initiatives formed during the workshop "Low Dimensional Topology and Number Theory XIII" at Kyushu University in 2022.

The activity was aimed at understanding and deepening recent developments of lively and fruitful interactions between low-dimensional topology and number theory over the past decades.

In this volume of proceedings, the reader will find research papers as well as survey articles, including open problems, at the interface between classical and quantum topology, and algebraic and analytic number theory, written by leading experts and active researchers in the respective fields.

Topics include, among others, the strong slope conjecture; KashiwaraVergne Lie algebra; braids and bered double branched covers of 3-manifolds; TemperleyLiebJones category andconformal blocks; WRT invariants and false theta functions; the colored Jones polynomial of the gure-eight knot; potential functions and A-polynomials; l-adic Galois polylogarithms; DijkgraafWitten invariants in Bloch groups; analogies between knots and primes in arithmetic topology; normalized Jones polynomials for rational links; Iwasawa main conjecture; Webers class number problem.

The book provides a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students interested in topics related to both low-dimensional topology and number theory.

Square Roots of Elliptic Systems in Locally Uniform Domains

Format: Hardback, 188 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 2 Illustrations, color; V, 162 p. 4 illus., 1 Hardback
Series: Linear Operators and Linear Systems 303
Pub. Date: 10-Sep-2024
ISBN-13: 9783031637674

Description

This book establishes a comprehensive theory to treat square roots of elliptic systems incorporating mixed boundary conditions under minimal geometric assumptions. To lay the groundwork, the text begins by introducing the geometry of locally uniform domains and establishes theory for function spaces on locally uniform domains, including interpolation theory and extension operators. In these introductory parts, fundamental knowledge on function spaces, interpolation theory and geometric measure theory and fractional dimensions are recalled, making the main content of the book easier to comprehend. The centerpiece of the book is the solution to Kato's square root problem on locally uniform domains. The Kato result is complemented by corresponding $L^p$ bounds in natural intervals of integrability parameters.

This book will be useful to researchers in harmonic analysis, functional analysis and related areas.
