 Hermitian Harmonic Maps into Convex Balls In this paper, we consider Hermitian harmonic maps from Hermitian manifolds into convex balls. We prove that there exist no non-trivial Hermitian harmonic maps from closed Hermitian manifolds into convex balls, and we use the heat flow method to solve the Dirichlet problem for Hermitian harmonic maps when the domain is a compact Hermitian manifold with non-empty boundary.

 Homotopy Equivalence and Groups of Measure-Preserving Homeomorphisms It is shown that the group of compactly supported, measure-preserving homeomorphisms of a connected, second countable manifold is locally contractible in the direct limit topology. Furthermore, this group is weakly homotopically equivalent to the more general group of compactly supported homeomorphisms. Categories:57S05, 58F11

 The Spectrum and Isometric Embeddings of Surfaces of Revolution A sharp upper bound on the first $S^{1}$ invariant eigenvalue of the Laplacian for $S^1$ invariant metrics on $S^2$ is used to find obstructions to the existence of $S^1$ equivariant isometric embeddings of such metrics in $(\R^3,\can)$. As a corollary we prove: If the first four distinct eigenvalues have even multiplicities then the metric cannot be equivariantly, isometrically embedded in $(\R^3,\can)$. This leads to generalizations of some classical results in the theory of surfaces. Categories:58J50, 58J53, 53C20, 35P15

 Holomorphic Frames for Weakly Converging Holomorphic Vector Bundles Using a modification of Webster's proof of the Newlander--Nirenberg theorem, it is shown that, for a weakly convergent sequence of integrable unitary connections on a complex vector bundle over a complex manifold, there is a subsequence of local holomorphic frames that converges strongly in an appropriate Holder class.

 Short Geodesics of Unitaries in the $L^2$ Metric Let $\M$ be a type II$_1$ von Neumann algebra, $\tau$ a trace in $\M$, and $\l2$ the GNS Hilbert space of $\tau$. We regard the unitary group $U_\M$ as a subset of $\l2$ and characterize the shortest smooth curves joining two fixed unitaries in the $L^2$ metric. As a consequence of this we obtain that $U_\M$, though a complete (metric) topological group, is not an embedded riemannian submanifold of $\l2$ Keywords:unitary group, short geodesics, infinite dimensional riemannian manifolds.Categories:46L51, 58B10, 58B25

 Enlarged Inclusion of Subdifferentials This paper studies the integration of inclusion of subdifferentials. Under various verifiable conditions, we obtain that if two proper lower semicontinuous functions $f$ and $g$ have the subdifferential of $f$ included in the $\gamma$-enlargement of the subdifferential of $g$, then the difference of those functions is $\gamma$-Lipschitz over their effective domain.

 Remarques sur l'enlacement en thÃ©orie des points critiques pour des fonctionnelles continues Dans cet article, \a partir de la notion d'enlacement introduite dans ~\cite{F} entre des paires d'ensembles $(B,A)$ et $(Q,P)$, nous \'etablissons l'existence d'un point critique d'une fonctionnelle continue sur un espace m\'etrique lorsqu'une de ces paires enlace l'autre. Des renseignements sur la localisation du point critique sont aussi obtenus. Ces r\'esultats conduisent \a une g\'en\'eralisation du th\'eor\eme des trois points critiques. Finalement, des applications \a des probl\emes aux limites pour une \'equation quasi-lin\'eaire elliptique sont pr\'esent\'ees. Categories:58E05, 35J20

 A Residue Formula for $\SU(2)$-Valued Moment Maps Jeffrey and Kirwan gave expressions for intersection pairings on the reduced space $M_0=\mu^{-1}(0)/G$ of a Hamiltonian $G$-space $M$ in terms of multiple residues. In this paper we prove a residue formula for symplectic volumes of reduced spaces of a quasi-Hamiltonian $\SU(2)$-space. The definition of quasi-Hamiltonian $G$-spaces was recently introduced in .

 On the Composition of Differentiable Functions We prove that a Banach space $X$ has the Schur property if and only if every $X$-valued weakly differentiable function is Fr\'echet differentiable. We give a general result on the Fr\'echet differentiability of $f\circ T$, where $f$ is a Lipschitz function and $T$ is a compact linear operator. Finally we study, using in particular a smooth variational principle, the differentiability of the semi norm $\Vert \ \Vert_{\lip}$ on various spaces of Lipschitz functions. Categories:58C20, 46B20

 The Local MÃ¶bius Equation and Decomposition Theorems in Riemannian Geometry A partial differential equation, the local M\"obius equation, is introduced in Riemannian geometry which completely characterizes the local twisted product structure of a Riemannian manifold. Also the characterizations of warped product and product structures of Riemannian manifolds are made by the local M\"obius equation and an additional partial differential equation.

 Invariant Measures and Natural Extensions We study ergodic properties of a family of interval maps that are given as the fractional parts of certain real M\"obius transformations. Included are the maps that are exactly $n$-to-$1$, the classical Gauss map and the Renyi or backward continued fraction map. A new approach is presented for deriving explicit realizations of natural automorphic extensions and their invariant measures.

 Real-Analytic Negligibility of Points and Subspaces in Banach Spaces, with Applications We prove that every infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ having a (not necessarily equivalent) real-analytic norm is real-analytic diffeomorphic to $X \setminus \{0\}$. More generally, if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional Banach space and $F$ is a closed subspace of $X$ such that there is a real-analytic seminorm on $X$ whose set of zeros is $F$, and $X/F$ is infinite-dimensional, then $X$ and $X \setminus F$ are real-analytic diffeomorphic. As an application we show the existence of real-analytic free actions of the circle and the $n$-torus on certain Banach spaces. Categories:46B20, 58B99

CMB 2001 (vol 44 pp. 323) Schuman, Bertrand  Une classe d'hamiltoniens polynomiaux isochrones Soit$H_0 = \frac{x^2+y^2}{2}$un hamiltonien isochrone du plan$\Rset^2$. On met en \'evidence une classe d'hamiltoniens isochrones qui sont des perturbations polynomiales de$H_0$. On obtient alors une condition n\'ecessaire d'isochronisme, et un crit\ere de choix pour les hamiltoniens isochrones. On voit ce r\'esultat comme \'etant une g\'en\'eralisation du caract\ere isochrone des perturbations hamiltoniennes homog\enes consid\'er\'ees dans [L], [P], [S]. Let$H_0 = \frac{x^2+y^2}{2}$be an isochronous Hamiltonian of the plane$\Rset^2$. We obtain a necessary condition for a system to be isochronous. We can think of this result as a generalization of the isochronous behaviour of the homogeneous polynomial perturbation of the Hamiltonian$H_0$considered in [L], [P], [S].

CMB 2001 (vol 44 pp. 129) Currás-Bosch, Carlos  LinÃ©arisation symplectique en dimension 2 In this paper the germ of neighborhood of a compact leaf in a Lagrangian foliation is symplectically classified when the compact leaf is$\bT^2$, the affine structure induced by the Lagrangian foliation on the leaf is complete, and the holonomy of$\bT^2$in the foliation linearizes. The germ of neighborhood is classified by a function, depending on one transverse coordinate, this function is related to the affine structure of the nearly compact leaves.

CMB 2001 (vol 44 pp. 210) Leung, Man Chun  Growth Estimates on Positive Solutions of the Equation$\Delta u+K u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}=0$in$\R^n$We construct unbounded positive$C^2$-solutions of the equation$\Delta u + K u^{(n + 2)/(n - 2)} = 0$in$\R^n$(equipped with Euclidean metric$g_o$) such that$K$is bounded between two positive numbers in$\R^n$, the conformal metric$g=u^{4/(n-2)}g_o$is complete, and the volume growth of$g$can be arbitrarily fast or reasonably slow according to the constructions. By imposing natural conditions on$u$, we obtain growth estimate on the$L^{2n/(n-2)}$-norm of the solution and show that it has slow decay.

CMB 2001 (vol 44 pp. 140) Gotay, Mark J.; Grabowski, Janusz  On Quantizing Nilpotent and Solvable Basic Algebras We prove an algebraic no-go theorem'' to the effect that a nontrivial \pa\ cannot be realized as an associative algebra with the commu\-ta\-tor bracket. Using it, we show that there is an obstruction to quantizing the \pa\ of polynomials generated by a nilpotent \ba\ on a \sm. This result generalizes \gr 's famous theorem on the impossibility of quantizing the Poisson algebra of polynomials on$\r^{2n}$. Finally, we explicitly construct a polynomial quantization of a \sm\ with a solvable \ba, thereby showing that the obstruction in the nilpotent case does not extend to the solvable case.

Helices, Hasimoto Surfaces and BÃ¤cklund Transformations Travelling wave solutions to the vortex filament flow generated by elastica produce surfaces in$\R^3$that carry mutually orthogonal foliations by geodesics and by helices. These surfaces are classified in the special cases where the helices are all congruent or are all generated by a single screw motion. The first case yields a new characterization for the B\"acklund transformation for constant torsion curves in$\R^3$, previously derived from the well-known transformation for pseudospherical surfaces. A similar investigation for surfaces in$H^3$or$S^3$leads to a new transformation for constant torsion curves in those spaces that is also derived from pseudospherical surfaces.

Subdifferential Regularity of Directionally Lipschitzian Functions Formulas for the Clarke subdifferential are always expressed in the form of inclusion. The equality form in these formulas generally requires the functions to be directionally regular. This paper studies the directional regularity of the general class of extended-real-valued functions that are directionally Lipschitzian. Connections with the concept of subdifferential regularity are also established.

CMB 2000 (vol 43 pp. 51) Edward, Julian  Eigenfunction Decay For the Neumann Laplacian on Horn-Like Domains The growth properties at infinity for eigenfunctions corresponding to embedded eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian on horn-like domains are studied. For domains that pinch at polynomial rate, it is shown that the eigenfunctions vanish at infinity faster than the reciprocal of any polynomial. For a class of domains that pinch at an exponential rate, weaker,$L^2$bounds are proven. A corollary is that eigenvalues can accumulate only at zero or infinity.

A Remark On the Moser-Aubin Inequality For Axially Symmetric Functions On the Sphere Let$\scr S_r$be the collection of all axially symmetric functions$f$in the Sobolev space$H^1(\Sph^2)$such that$\int_{\Sph^2} x_ie^{2f(\mathbf{x})} \, d\omega(\mathbf{x})$vanishes for$i=1,2,3\$. We prove that $$\inf_{f\in \scr S_r} \frac12 \int_{\Sph^2} |\nabla f|^2 \, d\omega + 2\int_{\Sph^2} f \, d\omega- \log \int_{\Sph^2} e^{2f} \, d\omega > -\oo,$$ and that this infimum is attained. This complements recent work of Feldman, Froese, Ghoussoub and Gui on a conjecture of Chang and Yang concerning the Moser-Aubin inequality.
