Stability of flow map
$\DeclareMathOperator\Diff{Diff}$Setting:
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact and connected $C^{\infty}$-Riemannian manifold. Let $d_g$ denote the induced shorted path metric and equip $C^{\infty}(M)$ with the ...

Non-continuous representations of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbf{R})$
How does one construct a non-continuous representation $\rho:\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbf{R})\rightarrow G$ for some connected (finite dimensional) Lie group $G$?

Fourier transform of functions mapping manifolds, is there a definition?
$\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$I have a problem which boils down to the analysis of functions of the form
$$
f : \mathbb{R} \to \SO(3)^n
$$
Since $\SO(3)$ is a compact group so is $\SO(3)^n$.
Now if ...

Invariance of $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ dynamics when expressed via Euler angles
$\DeclareMathOperator{\SO}{\operatorname{SO}}$I am trying to understand the properties of the $\SO(3)$ Lie Group but when expressed via Euler angles instead of rotation matrix or quaternions.
I am ...

Results on: (path/initial condition)-dependent variant of exponential map generates compactly supported diffeomorphisms
Let $M$ be a connected and simply connected Riemannian manifold, non-compact, and suppose that $\{V_p\}_{p \in M}$ is a family of vector fields on $M$ indexed by $M$. Suppose moreover that the map

Reparameterization and group structure
I ran into the following question; let $x,y$ be two points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $(\psi_t)_{t\geq 0}$ be the mapping from $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$ defined, for all $t\geq 0$, by
$$

Semiflows and continuous symmetries
Given a differential equation on a Banach space $\mathcal{X}$ of the form $\frac{d u}{d t} = F(u)$, it is often the case that $F$ is equivariant under translations, i.e. that $T_\alpha F(u) = F(T_\...

What is the unitary $1$-parameter group generated by a vector field on a manifold?
If $M$ is a (compact, Riemannian) manifold, and one complexifies its tangent bundle, is it possible to give a meaning to the "unitary group"-like expression $t \mapsto \exp (\mathrm i t X)$ when $X$ ...

Lie Symmetries of the Bessel Differential Equation
The Bessel differential equation has an arbitrary looking form, but a lot is known about it.
$$ x^2 \frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + x \frac{dy}{dx} + (x^2 - n^2)y = 0 $$
Is there a way to derive the Bessel ...

Origins of the generalized shift operator exp(t*g(z)d/dz)
Charles Graves in the 1850s investigated iterated operators of the form $g(x) \frac {d}{dx}$ (see page 13 in The Theory of Linear Operators ... (Principia Press, 1936) by Harold T. Davis). Graves ...

Relationship between Laplacian and Hessian on compact Lie groups
If $f: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is smooth and compactly supported, one has
$$\int |\Delta f(\mathbf{x})|^2\,d\mathbf{x} = \int \| Hf(\mathbf{x}) \|_F^2\,d\mathbf{x}\,,$$
where $\Delta$ ...

A Non-homogeneous, Linear (Matrix) System of ODEs: What's Known About it? [closed]
Consider the following system of ODEs
$$
Y^{'}(t) = - \left[ A Y(t) + Y(t) A \right] + B(t)
,
$$
where $Y(t)$,$A$,$B(t)$ are all matrices, with the properties $A=A^T$, $Y=Y^T$. $Y(t)$ is the matrix ...

Parameter dependent differential equation in a Lie group
It is well-known that a linear differential equation in a finite-dimensional vector space depends continuously on some external parameters (for details see below). I search for an explicit reference ...

A possible refinement of a theorem of Malliavin
Due to a theorem of Malliavin (an improvement of an erlier theorem of Dixmier and Malliavin, see here) we know that every compactly supported smooth function $f$ on $\mathbb R^n$ can be written as a ...

Abelianization of Lie groups
If G is a group, its abelianization is the abelian group A and the map G → A such that any map G → B with B abelian factors through A. Abelianization is a functor, and in general a very ...
