This is a scene from Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice, staged by Tanghalang Pilipino. Here, Orpheus (Marco Viaña) returns to the underworld, clueless of the second death of his wife Eurydice (Lhorvie Nuevo). As memories are impermissible in the underworld, they can no longer recognise their bond in the living world nor feel the warmth of their short-lived love. Photo by I.R. Arenas Advertisements

Aunty Jee… I have a problem Dear Aunty Jee, My wife and I have been married for three years and it all started so well, but now it is turning very sour. Whenever we talk, whatever we say, even about domestic matters, if the conversation does not go in my wife’s favour, she goes to her room and stays there sulking for days, sometimes for a week, only coming out during the night to visit the loo and to eat. Simple questions such as “Shall we clean out the cupboard under the stairs” – if our views do not coincide, off she goes. She simply will not communicate. I have tried to suggest that we go for counselling but this sets her off again. We are in our latter life and it makes me depressed to think that my final years will be spent like this. I feel an anger rising in me and fear that soon I might lose my temper and lash out. I have tried to be nice when she is like this to no effect – now I am trying to be intolerant and angry, but neither seems to work. What can I do? Anonymous male, 64, Wakefield Dear Anonymous Male, You have tried being nice and you have tried getting angry and neither of these have worked. That is because you are investing too much time and effort into your wife’s sulking. If she is treating you this way then you need to act as if it doesn’t bother you, otherwise she will continue. Try acting indifferent. When she starts sulking, just ignore her. If you have done nothing wrong then you shouldn’t be made to feel as if you have done something wrong. It is unfair and cruel to you. On the other hand you could try to explain to her how you are feeling in a calm and friendly way. Try to express your concerns to her in a way that she will understand that what she is doing is hurting you. Your situation is a sensitive one, it isn’t easy at all I imagine. But just try what I have said and I hope that it works out for you. Best of luck Dear Aunty Jee, I have recently found out that my dad cheated on my mum when I was younger. They don’t know that I know and they seem happy together. But only recently when I found out that my dad has cheated again… but this time with my sister in law! I really love my dad to bits but don’t really get on well with my mum. I just do not know whether to tell her about him cheating on her because I am scared of them splitting up. On the other hand, I do not want to upset my dad because he has never done anything wrong to me and I care about him a lot. I am also scared that my mum will flip and won’t believe me if I tell her. I need help as I am worrying about it and making myself ill. Do you have any suggestions? Anonymous female, 22, Dewsbury Beti, your situation breaks my heart. It cannot be easy to know that your father has been having an affair. I would suggest that you speak to your father and tell him that you know what has been happening. It is his place to speak to your mother about this. This is difficult for me to give advice on as the situation is so very sensitive, but I would say that you start by speaking with your father. Tell him that you know what he has been doing and how it is effecting you. Tread with caution as the situation is delicate, but this is one of the only things you can do at this moment. Beyond this, it is up to your father and mother. I wish you the best of luck beti. Dear Aunty Jee, This is such a tricky one. My friend Sara is a nice girl but despite being clean in every other way and always changing her clothes on a daily basis, her breath smells awful. I offer her mints and sweets as an indirect statement but she doesn’t understand. I mean, her breath is really, really bad and makes my eyes water when I smell it. It stinks in a big way. Sometimes she sits next to me and it wafts in my direction or she wants to give me a quick hug as she leaves me or a kiss on the cheek and I hate to tell her why I pull away. Nobody else has said anything to me about it but she needs to know, so please advise me on how can I tell her? Anonymous female, 20, Leeds Beti, If the situation has got this bad it may be that she has a dental problem and needs to speak to a dentist. Speak to her alone, without anyone else there so she doesn’t feel embarrassed or attacked. Try not to be judgemental when you speak to her. Be understanding and speak to her as a friend that is concerned. Best of luck!

TITLE: Smallest n for which G embeds in $S_n$? QUESTION [33 upvotes]: Question: Given a finite group $G$, how do I find the smallest $n$ for which $G$ embeds in $S_n$? Equivalently, what is the smallest set $X$ on which $G$ acts faithfully by permutations? This looks like a basic question, but I seem not to be able to find answers or even this question in the literature. If this is known to be hard, is there at least a good strategy that would give a small (if not the smallest) $n$ for many groups? Note: I do not care whether $G$ acts transitively on $X$, so for example for $G=C_6$ the answer is $n=5$ (mapping the generator to (123)(45)), not $n=6$ (regular action). Edit: If this is not specific enough, is there a method that could find the smallest $n$ (or one close to the smallest one) for any group of size $\le 10^7$ in 5 seconds on some computer algebra system? REPLY [5 votes]: Let $\mu(G) = \min\{n \mid G \text{ embeds in } S_n\}$. Here are some results on $\mu(G)$ from this paper by O. Becker: $\mu(G)$ is known for abelian groups. It is known eactly when $\mu(G) = |G|$. If $\mu(G) < |G|$, then $\mu(G) \le \frac{5}{6}|G|$. The identity $\mu(G\times H) = \mu(G) + \mu(H)$ holds for a wide family of groups, for instance - for all $G,H$ with central socle.

Let me know what I missed, and what should be higher or lower, but here is this year's version of my annual list of the year's top ten US legal ethics stories, along with seven honorable mentions. Top Ten - SCOTUS’s Hamdan decision rejected the controversial legal theories articulated in the OLC’s “torture memorandums”; in response, Congress passed the Military Commission Act, severely restricting detainees’ right to counsel. - The plaintiff’s law firm Milberg Weiss was indicted. - Corporate lawyers under focus: HP lawyers were caught up in the pretexting scandal; lawyers drew attention in the options backdating scandals. - Mike Nifong’s prosecution of the Duke lacrosse players generated ethics controversies. - DOJ rethought the Thompson/Holder approach to coercing corporations into waiving attorney client privilege; issued the McNulty memo; Senator Specter proposed a bill protecting privilege as well. - McKesson successfully moved to disqualify Duane Morris even after signing a consent letter. - SCOTUS’s decision in Gonzalez-Lopez reaffirmed the importance of a defendant’s right to counsel of the defendant’s choice. - Law school news: pressure was placed on the ABA’s exercise of its role in accrediting law schools; Harvard and Stanford announced law school curriculum revisions; UC-Riverside announced its plans to open a new law school. - California Supreme Court ruled in SF v. Cobra Systems that ethical screens don’t work for government lawyers where the “poisoned lateral” is the head of the office. - State regulation of advertising: New York proposed stringent new rules on lawyer advertising; New Jersey outlawed participation in “Super Lawyer” campaign. Honorable Mention - Massachusetts required, and California considered requiring, mandatory disclosure of lawyers’ insurance coverage. - California quietly continued its major overhaul of the one set of legal ethics rules that is still largely divorced from the ABA Model Rules and Model Code. - Pop culture: an intoxicated lawyer was caught on Las Vegas court video tape and widely viewed on Youtube; Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to her lawyer’s child; an old Joe Jamail deposition excerpt was widely viewed on Youtube. - Inadvertent disclosure and metadata issues generated controversy -- and conflicting ethics opinions. - California Supreme Court ruled that a lawyer’s demand letter was criminal extortion (Flatley v. Mauro). - Activist lawyer Lynne Stewart was sentenced to 28 months in prison. - Alito’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings focused on judicial ethics.

For example, these hypotheses are satisfied by genuine $\Z/2$-spaces and the $\bbb{R}$-realization functor constructed by Morel--Voevodsky. This result does not contradict the existence of \'etale realization functors to (pro-)spaces, (pro-)spectra or complexes of modules with actions of the absolute Galois group when the endomorphisms of the unit is not enriched in a certain sense. It does restrict enrichments to representation rings of Galois groups. \end{abstract} \maketitle {\parskip=12pt \section{Introduction} Grothendieck envisioned that cohomological invariants of algebraic varieties are controlled by certain motives, with transcendental invariants, such as the Galois action on \'etale cohomology, being recovered by realization functors. Work of Morel--Voevodsky on $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory provides candidate categories of motives, and realization functors have been constructed from the Morel--Voevodsky $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy category and its stabilization \cite{morelvoevodsky1998} \cite{Isaksen-etale_realization} \cite{Quick-stable_realization} \cite{Ayoub-realization_etale}, \cite[Section~7.2]{CD-etale_motives}. For example, Morel--Voevodsky construct an $\bbb{R}$-realization functor \cite[3.3]{morelvoevodsky1998}. On the level of schemes, this functor takes an $\bbb{R}$-scheme $X$ to the topological space (or simplicial set) of its complex points $X(\bbb{C})$ together with the action of the Galois group $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$ on $X(\bbb{C})$. The association $X \mapsto X(\bbb{C})$ gives rise to functors from the $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy categories of spaces and of $\bbb{P}^1$-spectra. The target category of this functor may be taken to be the genuine $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$-homotopy category in the former case and the genuine $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$-equivariant stable homotopy category in the latter. The adjective genuine (or {\em fine} in the terminology of \cite[3.3]{morelvoevodsky1998}) refers to the homotopy theory in which a weak equivalence of $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$-spaces $X \to Y$ is not only an equivariant map which is a weak equivalence in the non-equivariant sense, but also satisfies the requirement that the map on fixed points $X^H \to Y^H$ is an equivalence for all subgroups of the group acting on the spaces, in this case $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$ \cite{LewisMaySteinberger}. In the stable case, more notation would be required to define genuine $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$-equivariant spectra, but one consequence of the more stringent notion of weak equivalence is that the group of endomorphisms of the sphere spectrum encodes interesting information about $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$-sets, in contrast to $\bbb{Z}$, which is isomorphic to the endomorphisms of the sphere in ordinary stable homotopy. It follows that the Euler characteristic in genuine equivariant homotopy theory can be enriched from an element of $\bbb{Z}$ to an element of the Burnside ring $\A(\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R}))$ of formal differences of finite $\Gal(\bbb{C}/\bbb{R})$-sets. One might hope to generalize this construction to fields $k$ with infinite Galois groups. Namely, let $G=\Gal_k=\Gal(\kbar/k)$ denote the absolute Galois group of $k$. One could hope to construct a category of genuine $G$-spectra or $G$-pro-spectra receiving an \'etale realization functor from $\bbb{P}^1$-spectra over $k$. Indeed, for profinite groups, homotopy theories of genuine $G$-(pro)-spectra are constructed in \cite{Fausk} and \cite{BarwickI}, and \cite{Quick-Profinite_G-spectra} contains a construction of a homotopy theory of profinite $G$-equivariant spectra. \'Etale realization functors have also been constructed over $k$ \cite{Isaksen-etale_realization} \cite{Quick-stable_realization} \cite{Ayoub-realization_etale}, but not so that the target is a genuine $G$-equivariant homotopy theory. We show here that there is a reason for this lacuna. Namely, for $k$ a global field, local field, or finite field with infinite Galois group, there does not exist a symmetric monoidal \'etale realization functor from $\bbb{P}^1$-spectra over $k$ to a genuine $G$-equivariant homotopy theory under a set of hypothesis on what the terms {\em \'etale realization} and {\em genuine} are expected to imply. The hypotheses are best explained by the proof, and the proof is based on a result of Hoyois \cite[Theorem 1.5]{Hoyois_lef}. Namely, Hoyois shows that the $\bbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of a smooth proper variety with trivial cotangent sheaf is $0$, which implies, in particular, that the $\bbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of an elliptic curve $E$ is $0$. The outline of the proof is as follows. Suppose there is a symmetric monoidal \'etale realization functor $L \Et$. Then the Euler characteristic of $L \Et (E)$ is well-defined and equal to $0$. On the other hand, in genuine $G$-spectra, one could expect that the Euler characteristic is related to the alternating sum of the cohomology groups (with coefficients in some ring or field) considered with their $G$-actions. For example, this is the case for $G$ a finite group (Proposition \ref{assocchiX=repchi}). The theory of weights for Galois representations shows that the alternating sum of the \'etale cohomology groups for $E$ is non-zero in a representation ring. Since one could expect the cohomology groups of the \'etale realization to be the \'etale cohomology groups, at least for finite coefficients (as in \cite[Proposition 5.9]{Friedlander}), this is a contradiction. A precise formulation is as follows. First, we introduce a definition. Let $k$ be a field and let $R$ be a ring. Let $\operatorname{Funct}(\Gal_k, R)$ denote the ring of functions $\Gal_k \to R$ with point-wise addition and multiplication. \begin{df}\label{df:representation_ring} By a {\em representation ring} of $\Gal_k$ with coefficients in $R$, we mean a ring $\Rep( \Gal_k, R)$ such that: \begin{enumerate} \item The isomorphism class of a finitely generated $R$-module $A$ with a continuous $\Gal_k$-action given by $A = \rH^i_{\et}(X_{\kbar}, R)$, where $X$ is a smooth, proper variety over $k$, determines an element $[A]$ of $\Rep( \Gal_k, R)$. \item The trace map which takes $A$ to the function $\Gal_k \to R$ defined by taking $g$ in $G$ to the trace of $g$ acting on $A$, $$g \mapsto \Tr g \vert A$$ extends to a homomorphism $\Rep(\Gal_k, R) \to \operatorname{Funct}(\Gal_k, R)$. \end{enumerate} \end{df} \begin{tm}\label{into:mainthm} Let $k$ be a global field, local field with infinite Galois group, or finite field. Let $p$ be a prime different from the characteristic of $k$. It is impossible to simultaneously construct all of the following \begin{enumerate} \item \label{mainthm_HgalK} A symmetric monoidal category $\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$, enriched over abelian groups. Let $\A(\Gal_k)= \End_{\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)}(\Sphere)$ denote the endomorphisms of the symmetric monoidal unit $\Sphere$. \item \label{mainthm_Rep} For all $n$, a representation ring $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/{p^n})$ with coefficients in $\Z/{p^n}$. \item \label{mainthm_realization} A symmetric monoidal additive functor $L \Et: \calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(k)) \to \calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$, and ring homomorphisms $\assoc_n: \A(G) \to \Rep(\Gal_k, \Z/p^n)$ such that $$\assoc_n \chi (L\Et \Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}X_+) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [H^i_{\et} (X_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)]$$ for smooth proper schemes $X$ over $k$. \end{enumerate} \end{tm} We are thinking of $\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$ as a genuine $\Gal_k$-equivariant stable homotopy category, $\A(\Gal_k)$ as a Burnside ring of $\Gal_k$, $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/{p^n})$ as a representation ring of $\Z/(p^n)$-modules with $\Gal_k$-action, and $L \Et$ as an \'etale realization functor. Since there are interesting contexts in which one may require a continuous Galois representation to satisfy additional conditions (e.g., be de Rham, crystalline, semi-stable, potentially semi-stable, etc.), we do not require that $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/{p^n})$ be the Grothendieck ring of continuous Galois representations, although this is certainly a possibility for \eqref{mainthm_Rep}. Theorem \ref{into:mainthm} is proven as Theorem \ref{tm:nonexistence} below and there is another variant given in Theorem \ref{tm:nonexistencev2}, where the representation rings involved only have coefficients in fields. In Section \ref{GR-realization}, we show that the constructions of Theorem \ref{into:mainthm} do exist when $k=\bbb{R}$, the realization functor \eqref{mainthm_realization} being that of Morel--Voevodsky \cite[3.3]{morelvoevodsky1998}, and \eqref{mainthm_HgalK} and \eqref{mainthm_Rep} being the usual genuine $\Z/2$-equivariant stable homotopy category and $\Z/2$-representation rings, respectively. Section \ref{Gk-realization} contains the main result. As described above, the basic idea of the proof is that the $\bbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of an elliptic curve and the alternating sum of its \'etale cohomology groups are incompatible as Galois representations. \section{Enriched Euler characteristics and genuine $\Gal_{\bbb{R}}$-realization}\label{GR-realization} Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $\A(G)$ denote the Burnside ring, defined as the group completion (or Grothendieck group) of the semi-ring of isomorphism classes of finite $G$-sets with addition and multiplication given by disjoint union and product respectively. The Burnside ring is the endomorphisms of the monoidal unit in the Burnside category $\Burn(G)$, whose definition we now recall. The objects of $\Burn(G)$ are finite $G$-sets. Given finite $G$-sets $T$ and $S$, consider the set of equivalence classes of diagrams of $G$-sets $$S \leftarrow U \rightarrow T$$ under the equivalence relation $[S \leftarrow U \rightarrow T]\sim[S \leftarrow U' \rightarrow T] $ when there is a $G$-equivariant bijection $\alpha: U \to U'$ such that the diagram $$\xymatrix{ & \ar[dl] U \ar[dd]_{\cong}^{\alpha} \ar[dr]& \\ S & &T \\ & \ar[ul] U' \ar[ur]&}$$ commutes. The morphisms $\Burn(G)(S,T)$ from $S$ to $T$ are the elements of the group completion of this set of equivalence classes under the operation $$[S \leftarrow U \rightarrow T] + [S \leftarrow U' \rightarrow T] = [S \leftarrow U \coprod U' \rightarrow T].$$ Composition of morphisms $S \leftarrow U \rightarrow T$ and $T \leftarrow U' \rightarrow Q$ is given by pullback \begin{equation}\label{BurnGcomp}\xymatrix{ && \ar[dl] V \ar[dr] && \\& \ar[dr]\ar[dl]U& &U' \ar[dr]\ar[dl] &\\ S&& T&& Q}\end{equation} and the composition $$\Burn(G)(S,T)\times \Burn(G)(T,Q) \to \Burn(G)(S,Q)$$ is defined by \eqref{BurnGcomp} and bilinearity. The symmetric monoidal structure takes $G$-sets $S$ and $T$ to their product $S \times T$, so $\A(G) = \Burn(G)(\ast, \ast)$, where $\ast$ denotes the one-point $G$-set. An object $X$ of a symmetric monoidal category with unit $\Sphere$ and monoidal product $\wedge$ is said to be fully dualizable if there is a dual object $DX$ together with coevaluation and evaluation morphisms $$\eta: \Sphere \to X \wedge DX, ~~\epsilon: DX \wedge X \to \Sphere $$ such that the compositions $$X \stackrel{\eta \wedge 1_X}{\to} X \wedge DX \wedge X \stackrel{1_X \wedge \epsilon}{\to} X ,$$ $$DX \stackrel{1_{DX} \wedge \eta }{\to} DX \wedge X \wedge DX \stackrel{ \epsilon \wedge 1_{DX}}{\to} DX $$ are the identities. For example, every element of $\Burn(G)$ is fully dualizable with $DX = X$. Given an endomorphism $f$ of a fully dualizable object $X$, the trace $\Tr (f)$ is the endomorphism of $\Sphere$ determined by the composition $$ \Sphere \stackrel{\eta}{\to} X \wedge DX \stackrel{f \wedge 1_{DX} }{\to} X \wedge DX\stackrel{\tau}{\to} DX \wedge X \stackrel{\epsilon}{\to} \Sphere,$$ where $\tau$ is the map which switches the order of the two factors. The Euler characteristic $\chi(X)$ is the trace of the identity $\chi(X) = \Tr (1_X)$. The following is a straightforward consequence of the definitions and is not original, but it is included for convenience and clarity. \begin{lm}\label{lm:TrTUT} Let $T$ and $U$ be finite $G$-sets, and let $T \stackrel{i}{\leftarrow} U \stackrel{j}{\rightarrow} T$ be a diagram of finite $G$-sets. For elements $t$ and $t'$ in $T$, let $U_{t,t'}$ be the set $U_{t,t'} = i^{-1}(t) \cap j^{-1}(t')$. Then there are the following equalities in the Burnside ring $\A(G)$. \begin{enumerate} \item\label{TrUinBurnG} $\Tr[T \leftarrow U \rightarrow T] = \coprod_{t \in T} U_{t,t}$. \item\label{chiT=T} $\chi (T) = T$. \end{enumerate} \end{lm} \begin{proof} We first show \eqref{TrUinBurnG}. Let $\Delta: T \to T \times X$ denote the diagonal. Then $\eta$ and $\epsilon$ are the morphisms $\ast \leftarrow T \stackrel{\Delta}{\to} T \times T $ and $ T \times T\stackrel{\Delta}{\leftarrow} T \to \ast$ respectively. The composition of $[T \leftarrow U \rightarrow T] \times 1_T $ and $\tau$ is $T \times T \stackrel{i \times 1_T}{\leftarrow} U \times T \stackrel{1_T \times j}\rightarrow T \times T$. The pullback diagram $$\xymatrix{ U\ar[d]^i\ar[r]_{1_U \times i} &U \times T \ar[d]^{i \times 1_T} \\T \ar[r]_{\Delta} & T \times T} $$ shows that the composition $\eta \circ ([T \leftarrow U \rightarrow T] \times 1_T) \circ \tau$ is $\ast \leftarrow U \stackrel{i \times j}{\to} T \times T$. The composition of this last map with $\eta$ shows $\Tr[T \leftarrow U \rightarrow T] = \coprod_{t \in T} U_{t,t}$. \eqref{chiT=T} follows from \eqref{TrUinBurnG}. \end{proof} Let $\calH_{G}(\Spt)$ denote the homotopy category of genuine $G$-spectra \cite[XII 5]{Alaska}, $\Sphere$ denote the sphere spectrum, and $\calH_{G}(\Spt)^d$ denote the full subcategory of fully dualizable objects. It is a result of Segal \cite{SegalICM} and tom Dieck \cite{tomDieck_Trans} that there is a ring isomorphism \begin{equation}\label{AGcongEnd}\A(G) \cong \End_{\calH_{G}(\Spt)}(\Sphere),\end{equation} so for $X$ in $\calH_{G}(\Spt)^d$ we consider $\chi(X)$ to be an element of the Burnside ring $\A(G)$. The ring homomorphism \eqref{AGcongEnd} is induced from the fully faithful, symmetric, monoidal functor $\Sigma^{\infty}_+: \Burn(G) \to \calH_{G}(\Spt)$ taking a finite $G$-set $T$ to the suspension spectrum of $T_+$ \cite[Corollary 3.2 XIX]{Alaska}. Let $R$ be a ring. Let $\Rep(G,R)$ denote the ring with generators given by isomorphism classes of finitely generated $R$-modules with $G$-action subject to the relation that $B = A \oplus C$ when there is a short exact sequence $$A \to B \to C.$$ Addition and multiplication in $\Rep(G,R)$ are induced from $\oplus$ and $\otimes$ respectively. For $X$ in $\calH_{G}(\Spt)$, the cohomology groups $H^i(X,R)$ determine elements of $\Rep(G,R)$. \begin{df}\label{assoc_def_rmk} Let $\assoc: \A(G) \to \Rep(G,R)$ be the map determined by taking a finite $G$-set $T$ to the permutation representation on $\oplus_T R$. \end{df} \begin{pr}\label{assocchiX=repchi} \begin{enumerate} \item \label{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case1} Let $R$ be any ring. For all finite $G$-CW complexes $X$ we have that $$\assoc \chi (X) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(X,R).$$ \item \label{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case2} Let $R$ be a field of characteristic not dividing the order of $G$. Then for all $X$ in $\calH_{G}(\Spt)^d$ $$\assoc \chi (X) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(X,R),$$ and in particular the right hand side is a well-defined element of $\Rep(G,R)$ in the sense that only finitely many of the summands are non-zero and the non-zero summands are finitely generated $R$-modules. \end{enumerate} \end{pr} The proof of Proposition \ref{assocchiX=repchi} \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case1} is a straightforward induction on the cells of $X$. To prove \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case2}, we will have use of the following lemmas. \begin{lm}\label{lm:int_Tr-to-perm} Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Let $R$ be a field of characteristic not dividing the order of $G$. Let $T$ be a finite $G$-set, and $V \subseteq \assoc T$ be a $G$-fixed subspace such that the corresponding representation $\rho: G \to \GL V$ satisfies the property that $\Tr(\rho(g))$ is the image of an integer under the canonical map $\mathbb{Z} \to R$ for all $g$ in $G$. Then there are $G$-sets $E$ and $I$ such that $V \oplus \assoc E \cong \assoc I$. \end{lm} \begin{proof} If $G$ has order $1$, then the lemma is true. Let $G$ have order $n>1$ and assume inductively that the lemma holds for cyclic groups of smaller orders. Because matrices which are similar over the algebraic closure of $R$ are similar over $R$, we may assume $R$ is algebraically closed. Thus $\assoc T$ and $V$ decompose into simultaneous $1$-dimensional eigenspaces whose eigenvalues are $n$th roots of unity. Let $d$ denote the largest order of an eigenvalue of $V$, and note that $d$ divides $n$. If $d=1$, then $V\cong \assoc I$ where $I$ is a set with trivial $G$-action of cardinality equal to the dimension of $V$, so the lemma is true. We now induct on $d$. Let $g$ denote a generator of $G$. The condition that $\Tr(\rho(g))$ is an integer implies that the eigenspaces of $g$ in $V$ associated to the primitive $d$th roots of $1$ are all the same dimension. Call this dimension $a$. Let $d=\prod_{j=1}^{l} p_j^{e_j}$ be the prime factorization of $d$. Let $E_j$ denote the $G$-set consisting of a single orbit of cardinality $d/p_j$, and let $E' = \coprod_{i=1}^a \coprod_{j=1}^l E_j$. Then for each $d$th root of unity, we may choose an $a$ dimensional eigenspace of $V \oplus \assoc E'$. Let $V'$ denote the direct sum of these chosen eigenspaces and let $V'' \subset V \oplus \assoc E'$ denote a complementary $G$-representation to $V'$. By construction $V' \cong \assoc (\coprod_{j=1}^a I')$, where $I'$ is the $G$-set with a single orbit of cardinality $d$. In particular, this representation satisfies the property that the trace of every element of $G$ is an integer. It follows that the same property holds for $V''$. By induction on $d$, there are $G$-sets $E''$ and $I''$ such that $V'' \oplus \assoc E'' \cong \assoc I''$. Thus $V \oplus \assoc E' \oplus \assoc E'' \cong \assoc(\coprod_{j=1}^a I') \oplus \assoc I''$. We may therefore let $E = E' \coprod E''$ and $I = (\coprod_{j=1}^a I') \coprod I''$, and the lemma is true. \end{proof} \begin{lm}\label{assoc_det_set_G=Z/n} Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Assume $R$ has a prime ideal of residue characteristic not dividing the order of $G$. If $T$ and $T'$ are two finite $G$-sets such that $\assoc T \cong \assoc T'$, then $T \cong T'$. \end{lm} \begin{rmk} Lemma \ref{assoc_det_set_G=Z/n} becomes false when $G$ is $\Z/2\times \Z/2$ \cite[\S 7 Example 2]{Roberts-Equivariant_Milnor}. \end{rmk} \begin{proof} By assumption, there is a ring map $R \to K$ where $K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic not dividing the order of $G$. We may replace $R$ by $K$, allowing us to decompose $\assoc T \cong \assoc T'$ into simultaneous $1$-dimensional eigenspaces whose eigenvalues are $n$th roots of unity. Let $d$ denote the largest order of such an eigenvalue. If $d=1$, then both $T$ and $T'$ have trivial $G$-actions and $\vert T \vert = \vert T' \vert = \dim \assoc T'$, so the lemma is true. Assume by induction that the lemma holds for all smaller values of $d$. Let $g$ be a generator of $G$ and $\zeta$ be a primitive $d$th root of unity. The number of $d$-cycles in $\assoc T$ is the dimension of the $\zeta$-eigenspace of $T$. Since the same holds for $T'$, it follows that $T$ and $T'$ contain the same number of $d$-cycles. Furthermore, removing the $d$-cycles from both $T$ and $T'$ results in finite $G$-sets with isomorphic associated permutation representations for which the lemma holds inductively. Thus $T \cong T'$. \end{proof} \begin{lm}\label{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)} Let $G$ be a finite group and let $f:T \to T$ be an idempotent in the Burnside category of $G$. Let $R$ be a field of characteristic not dividing the order of $G$. Then $\assoc \Tr(f) = \Image H^0(f)$ in $\Rep(G,R)$. \end{lm} We establish a few preliminaries before proving Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)}. \begin{rmk}\label{calculate_trImageH0(f)andTrf} We may directly calculate the trace functions $\chi_{\assoc \Tr(f)}$ and $\chi_{\Image H^0(f)}$ of $\assoc \Tr(f)$ and $\Image H^0(f)$. Since $f$ is idempotent, $$\chi_{\Image H^0(f)}(g) = \Tr(H^0(f) \vert \Image H^0(f) )= \Tr(H^0(g)H^0(f) \vert H^0(T)).$$ Let $f = [T \stackrel{i}{\leftarrow} U \stackrel{j}{\rightarrow} T] - [T \stackrel{i}{\leftarrow} V \stackrel{j}{\rightarrow} T]$. Let $\delta_t$ be the function $\delta_t: T \to R$ such that $\delta_t(t) = 1$ and $\delta_t(t') = 0$ for $t' \neq t$. In the below, $i_*$ denotes the push forward on $H^0$ associated to $i$, and $g^*, j^*$ are the corresponding pullbacks. We compute \begin{align*} \chi_{\Image H^0(f)}(g) = \Tr(H^0(g)H^0(f) \vert H^0(T)) = \sum_{t \in T} (g^* i_* j^* \delta_t)(t) = \sum_{t \in T} (i_* g^* j^* \delta_t)(t) \\ = \sum_{t \in T} (\sum_{u \in U : i(u) = t} (g^* j^* \delta_t)(u) - \sum_{v \in V : i(v) = t} (g^* j^* \delta_t)(v)) \\ = \sum_{t \in T} (\sum_{u \in U : i(u) = t} \delta_t(gju) - \sum_{v \in V : i(v) = t} \delta_t(gjv)) \\ = \vert \{u \in U : i(u) = gj(u) \} \vert - \vert \{v \in V : i(v) = gj(v) \} \vert . \end{align*} It follows from Lemma \ref{lm:TrTUT} that \begin{align*} \chi_{\assoc \Tr(f)}(g) = \vert \{u \in U : gu=u, i(u) = j(u) \} \vert - \vert \{v \in V : gv =v, i(v) = j(v) \} \vert.\end{align*} It is not clear from these calculations that $\chi_{\Image H^0(f)} = \chi_{\assoc \Tr(f)}$. We will show in Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)} that they are. It is clear that $\chi_{\Image H^0(f)}$ takes values in the integers, and it follows from $$\chi_{\Image H^0(f)} + \chi_{\Ker H^0(f)} = \chi_{H^0(T)},$$ that $\chi_{\Ker H^0(f)}$ also takes values in the integers. \end{rmk} To prove Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)}, we will make use of the following variation of the Burnside category. \begin{df} Define the category $\Burn(G,R)$ to have objects $G$-sets, and for $G$-sets $S$ and $T$, the morphisms $\Burn(G,R)(S, T)$ are $R$-linear combinations of equivalence classes of diagrams of $G$-sets $S \leftarrow U \rightarrow T$. Composition is defined to be $R$-bilinear and induced from \eqref{BurnGcomp} as in the definition of the Burnside category. \end{df} $\Burn(G,R)(S, T)$ is a symmetric, monoidal category with the monoidal structure defined by the product of $G$-sets, and $\Tr[T \leftarrow U \rightarrow T] = \coprod_{t \in T} U_{t,t}$ by the proof of Lemma \ref{lm:TrTUT}. \begin{lm}\label{TrAB=TrBA} Let $A$ and $B$ be morphisms in $\Burn(G,R)(T, T)$. Then $\Tr(A \circ B)= \Tr (B\circ A)$. \end{lm} \begin{proof} Since composition of morphisms is $R$-bilinear, and $\Tr$ is $R$-linear, it suffices to prove the claim where $A$ and $B$ are determined by diagrams of $G$-sets $T \leftarrow A \rightarrow T$ and $T \leftarrow B \rightarrow T$, respectively. Then: \begin{align*} \Tr(A \circ B)& \cong \coprod_{t \in T} (A \circ B)_{tt} \\ &\cong \coprod_{t \in T} \coprod_{t' \in T} A_{t, t'} \times B_{t',t} \\ & \cong \coprod_{t , t' \in T} A_{t, t'} \times B_{t',t} \\ & \cong \coprod_{t , t' \in T} B_{t',t} \times A_{t, t'} \\ &\cong \coprod_{t' \in T} \coprod_{t \in T} B_{t',t} \times A_{t, t'} \\ &\cong \coprod_{t' \in T} (A \circ B)_{t',t'} \cong \Tr(B \circ A) \end{align*} \end{proof} \begin{proof} (of Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)}) By Maschke's theorem \cite[Theorem 3.1, Theorem 3.5]{Etingofetal_Intro_Rep_thy}, it suffices to show that the trace functions $\chi_{\assoc \Tr(f)}$ and $\chi_{\Image H^0(f)}$ of $\assoc \Tr(f)$ and $\Image H^0(f)$ are the same. To do this, we may show for each $g$ in $G$ that $\chi_{\assoc \Tr(f)}(g) = \chi_{\Image H^0(f)}(g)$, thus reducing to the case where $G$ is a finite cyclic group. By Remark \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)}, $\chi_{\Image H^0(f)}$ takes values in the integers, so we may apply Lemma \ref{lm:int_Tr-to-perm} to $\Image H^0(f) \subseteq \assoc T$. Thus there are $G$-sets $E$ and $I$ such that $\Image H^0(f) \oplus \assoc E \cong \assoc I$. Let $f': T \coprod E \to T \coprod E$ be the idempotent in the Burnside category of $G$ defined $f'=f \coprod 1_E$. Applying Remark \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)} and Lemma \ref{lm:int_Tr-to-perm} to $\Ker H^0(f') \subseteq \assoc (T \coprod)$, there are $G$-sets $E'$ and $I'$ such that $\Ker H^0(f') \oplus \assoc E' \cong \assoc I'$. Define $f'': T \coprod E \coprod E' \to T \coprod E \coprod E' $ be the idempotent in the Burnside category of $G$ defined $f''=f' \coprod 0_{E'}$. By Lemma \ref{lm:TrTUT}, $\Tr f'' \cong E \coprod \Tr f$, and $\Image H^0(f'') \cong \Image H^0(f) \oplus \assoc E$. Therefore it suffices to prove the lemma with $f$ replaced by $f''$. Since $f''$ is an idempotent, $$\assoc ( T \coprod E \coprod E' \to T) \cong \Ker H^0(f'') \oplus \Image H^0(f'').$$ By construction, $\Image H^0(f'') \cong \Image H^0(f') \cong \Image H^0(f) \oplus \assoc E \cong I$, and $\Ker H^0(f'') \cong \Ker H^0(f') \oplus \assoc E' \cong \assoc I'$. Replacing $T$ by $T \coprod E \coprod E'$ and $f$ by $f''$, we may therefore assume that there exist $G$-sets $I$ and $I'$ such that $\Image H^0(f) \cong \assoc I$ and $\Ker H^0(f) \cong \assoc I'$. Since $f$ is an idempotent, there is an isomorphism $\assoc T \cong \Image H^0(f) \oplus \Ker H^0(f)$, whence an isomorphism $\eta: \assoc T \to \assoc (I \coprod I')$. Define $T'= I \coprod I'$. For $t \in T$ and $t' \in T'$, let $\eta_{t' ,t}$ denote the corresponding entry of the matrix of $\eta$ with respect to the bases $T$ and $T'$, and similarly define $(\eta^{-1})_{t,t'}$ to be the matrix entry of the inverse of $\eta$. Note that $\eta_{t' ,t} (t',t)$ is an element of $\assoc (T' \times T)$. The subset $\coprod_{t \in T,t' \in T'} \eta_{t' ,t} (t',t)$ of $\assoc (T' \times T)$ is invariant under the action of $G$ because $\eta$ is a $G$-isomorphism. It follows that we may view $\coprod_{t \in T,t' \in T'} \eta_{t' ,t} (t',t)$ as an $R$-linear combination of $G$-subsets of $T' \times T$. The analogous assertion holds for $\eta'$. The $R$-linear combination of $G$-invariant subsets of $T' \times T$ associated to $\coprod_{t \in T,t' \in T'} \eta_{t' ,t} (t',t)$ determines a morphism in $\Burn(G,R)(T, T')$, which we will denote by $\Burn(\eta)$. Similarly define $\Burn(\eta^{-1})$ in $\Burn(G,R)(T', T)$. By construction, $\Burn(\eta) \circ f \circ \Burn(\eta^{-1}) = I$ where the two maps to $T'$ are both the canonical inclusion $I \to T'$. We claim that Lemma \ref{TrAB=TrBA} implies that \begin{align*}\Tr (\Burn(\eta) \circ f \circ \Burn(\eta^{-1})) = \Tr (f) \end{align*} To see that we may apply Lemma \ref{TrAB=TrBA} in this case, note that by Lemma \ref{assoc_det_set_G=Z/n}, we may fix an isomorphism of $G$-sets $T \cong T'$, and consider $\Burn(\eta)$ and $\Burn(\eta^{-1})$ to both be elements of $\Burn(G,R)(T, T)$ allowing us to conclude $\Tr (\Burn(\eta) \circ f \circ \Burn(\eta^{-1}))= \Tr(\Burn(\eta^{-1})\circ \Burn(\eta) \circ f)$. Thus $\Tr (f) = I$. Since $\assoc I \cong \Image H^0(f)$, we have shown the lemma. \end{proof} The following corollary of Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)} is not needed for the rest of the article, but is included as a curiosity. To put this in context, we remark that there are many interesting idempotents of the Burnside ring of a finite group $G$. The idempotents of $\A(G) \otimes \Q$ were computed by \cite{Solomon}, \cite{Yoshida}, and \cite{Gluck-idempotent}. The integral idempotents, i.e., the idempotents of $\A(G)$, were computed by Dress \cite{Dress-solvable}, see \cite[Theorem 3.3.7, Corollary 3.3.9]{Bouc-Burnside_rings}. \begin{co}\label{co:associdempAg} Let $G$ be a finite group and let $R$ be a field of characteristic not dividing the order of $G$. Suppose $f$ is an idempotent in the Burnside ring $\A(G)$. Then $\assoc f$ is either $0$ or the trivial representation in $\Rep(G,R)$. \end{co} \begin{proof} Since $\Image H^0(f)$ is a submodule of $H^0(\ast)$, we have that $\Image H^0(f)$ is either $0$ or $R$ with the trivial action. The corollary then follows from Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)}. \end{proof} We wish to thank Serge Bouc and Alexander Duncan for useful correspondence concerning Corollary \ref{co:associdempAg}. In particular, they explicitly computed an interesting (integral) idempotent of the Burnside ring of the alternating group $G=A_5$ such that the associated element of $\Rep(G, \Q)$ is $0$. \begin{proof} (of Proposition \ref{assocchiX=repchi}) We first make an observation useful for proving both \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case1} and \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case2}: For a cofiber sequence $X \to Y \to Z$ in $\calH_{G}(\Spt)^d$, there is an equality $\chi(X) + \chi(Z) = \chi(Y)$ in $\A(G)$ (see for example \cite[XVII Theorem 1.6]{Alaska}), and therefore an equality $\assoc \chi(X) + \assoc \chi(Z) = \assoc \chi(Y)$. Since a short exact sequence $A \to B \to C$ of $G$-modules induces the relation $A + C = B$ in $\Rep(G,R)$, it follows by induction that an exact sequence $$ 0 \to M_{n} \to M_{n+1} \to \ldots \to M_{m-1} \to M_m \to 0$$ of $G$-modules induces the relation $\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i M_i = 0$. The cofiber sequence $X \to Y \to Z$ induces the long exact sequence $$ \ldots \to H^i(Z,R) \to H^i(Y,R) \to H^i(X,R) \to H^{i+1}(Z,R) \to \ldots $$ in cohomology, whence we have that $$ \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(X,R) +\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(Z,R)=\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(Y,R)$$ under the hypothesis that for two (and thus all three) of $X$, $Y$, and $Z$, only finitely many terms in each sum are non-zero. Therefore if the claim holds for any two of $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ in a cofiber sequence $X \to Y \to Z,$ it holds for the third. We now prove \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case1}: By induction on the number of cells of the finite $G$-CW complex $X$, it therefore suffices to show the claim for $X$ a finite $G$-set. This then follows from Lemma~\ref{lm:TrTUT}~\eqref{chiT=T}. We now prove \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case2}: Let $A$ be a $G$-CW complex which is a retract in the homotopy category of a finite $G$-CW complex $Y$. Let $\iota$ be the endomorphism of $Y$ given by the composition of the retract and the inclusion $\iota:Y \to A \to Y$. It is formal that $\Tr(\iota) = \chi(A)$. We likewise have that the image $\Image H^i(\iota)$ of $H^i(\iota)$ is a direct summand of $H^i(Y,R)$ isomorphic to $H^i(A,R)$. We show the claim for $A$ by proving that for a $G$-equivariant map $f:Y \to Y$ which is idempotent in the homotopy category, we have \begin{equation}\label{Trf=sumimage}\assoc \Tr(f) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [\Image H^i(f)],\end{equation} and applying \eqref{Trf=sumimage} for $f=\iota$. Both sides of are unchanged under equivariant homotopy, and it follows that we may assume that $f$ is cellular \cite[I. Theorem 3.4]{Alaska}. This allows us to induct on the dimension of the top cells of $Y$, reducing to the case where $Y = T_+ \wedge S^n$ for a $G$-set $T$. Since replacing $f$ by its suspension multiplies both sides of \eqref{Trf=sumimage} by $-1$, we replace $f$ by $f \wedge S^{-n}$, reducing to the case where $Y= T_+$ and the map $f$ is now is the stable homotopy category. Then as remarked above $f$ corresponds to an idempotent $f: T \to T$ in $\Burn(G)$ \cite[Corollary 3.2 XIX]{Alaska}. Thus $ \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [\Image H^i(f)] = [\Image H^0(f)] $. The equality \eqref{Trf=sumimage} then follows by Lemma \ref{fBurnside_idempotentTr(f)}. Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional representation of $G$ and let $S^{-V}$ be the dual of the one-point compactification $S^V$ of $V$. If $X$ is a strongly dualizable $G$-spectra, then so is $DX$ and $\chi(X) = \chi(DX)$. Thus $\chi(S^{-V})=\chi(S^V)$. Since $S^V$ is a finite $G$-CW complex, we have that $$\assoc \chi(S^V) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(S^V,R) = R + (-1)^n R,$$ where the action of $G$ on the first summand is trivial, and the action of $G$ on the second summand is via the sign on the determinant, i.e. $g \in G$ acts by $\pm 1$ depending on if $g$ preserves or reverses the orientation of $S^V$. Combining with the previous, we have $$\assoc \chi(S^{-V}) = R + (-1)^n R.$$ By definition, $H^i (DX, R) = \pi_{-i} F(DX, R) = \pi_{-i}(X \wedge R) = H_{-i} (X,R)$. Thus $$H^i(S^{-V}, R) = \begin{cases} R &\mbox{if } i= 0 \\ R & \mbox{if } i = -n \\ 0&\mbox{otherwise }\end{cases},$$ where for $i=0$, the action is trivial, and for $i=-n$, $G$ acts on $R$ by the sign of the determinant. Thus the claim holds for $S^{-V}$. By \cite[Proposition 2.1]{Fausk_Lewis_May}, $X$ in $\calH_{G}(\Spt)^d$ is equivalent to $\Sigma^{-V} \Sigma^{\infty} A$ where $A$ is a finitely dominated based $G$-CW complex and $V$ is a representation of $G$. Since $A$ is finitely dominated, by definition we have a finite $G$-CW complex $Y$ such that $A$ is a retract of $Y$ in the homotopy category of $G$-CW complexes. By the above, the claim holds for $A$ and $S^{-V}$. Since the smash product of two endomorphisms of $\Sphere$ induces the multiplication of $\A(G)$, we have $\chi(\Sigma^{-V} \Sigma^{\infty} A) = \chi(S^{-V}) \chi(A)$. Thus $\assoc \chi(\Sigma^{-V} \Sigma^{\infty} A) = \assoc \chi(S^{-V}) \assoc \chi(A)$. By the K\"unneth spectral sequence, we have the equality $$\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(\Sigma^{-V} \Sigma^{\infty} A,R) = (\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(S^{-V},R))(\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(A,R))$$ in $\Rep(G,R)$. The claim for $X$ then follows from the claim for $S^{-V}$ and $A$. \end{proof} This concludes the facts we need about genuine $G$-spectra. We now turn to the relationship between $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory over $\bbb{R}$ and genuine $\Gal_{\bbb{R}}$-spectra. Let $\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\spaces{\bbb{R}})$ denote the $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy category of simplicial presheaves on smooth schemes over $\bbb{R}$ in the sense of Morel-Voevodsky. Let $ \calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\sSet)$ denote the homotopy category of genuine $G$-spaces for $G = \Gal_{\bbb{R}}$. There is a symmetric monoidal functor $$LB:\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\spaces{\bbb{R}}) \to \calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\sSet),$$ called Betti realization, which takes a smooth scheme $X$ over $\bbb{R}$ to the complex points $X(\bbb{C})$ with the $\Gal_{\bbb{R}}$-action induced from the tautological action of $\Gal_{\bbb{R}}$ on $\bbb{C}$. See \cite[3, 3.3]{morelvoevodsky1998}. $LB$ furthermore determines a functor after stabilization. Namely, let $\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(\bbb{R}))$ denote the $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy category of $\bbb{P}^1$-spectra over $\bbb{R}$. As above, let $ \calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\Spt)$ denote the homotopy category of genuine $G$-spectra for $G = \Gal_{\bbb{R}}$. There is a commutative diagram of Betti-realization functors \cite[4.4]{HO_Galois} $$\xymatrix{\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\spaces{\bbb{R}}) \ar[rr]^{LB} \ar[d]^{(\Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1})_+}&& \ar[d]^{(\Sigma^{\infty}_{S^{\bbb{C}}})_+}\calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\sSet)\\ \calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(\bbb{R})) \ar[rr]^{LB}&& \calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\Spt).}$$ For $k$ a field, Morel has shown that the endomorphisms of the sphere $ \End_{\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(k))}(\Sphere)$ are isomorphic to the Grothendieck-Witt group $\GW(k)$ of $k$ \cite[Corollary 1.24]{morel} (see \cite[footnote p~2]{Hoyois_lef} about the non-perfect case), defined to be the group completion of the semi-ring of symmetric bilinear forms. $\GW(k)$ is generated by $\langle a \rangle$ for $a \in k^*/(k^*)^2$ and has relations given by $\langle u \rangle + \langle -u \rangle = \langle 1 \rangle + \langle -1 \rangle$ and $\langle u \rangle + \langle v \rangle = \langle u + v\rangle + \langle (u+v)uv \rangle$ for $u,v\in k^*$ and $u + v \neq 0$. See \cite[Lemma 3.9]{morel} who cites \cite{milnor73}. The element $\langle a \rangle$ corresponds to the bilinear form $(x,y) \mapsto a xy$. We will compare $\GW(\bbb{R})$ and $\A(\Gal_{\bbb{R}})$ and for this, we need the following well-known constructions. For a separable field extension $k \subseteq L$, there is a map $\Tr_{L/k}: \GW(L) \to \GW(k)$ defined by sending a symmetric bilinear form $b: V \times V \to L$ to the composition $\Tr_{L/k} b : V \times V \to k$ of the form $b$ with the field trace map $\Tr_{L/k}: L \to k$. In $\Tr_{L/k} b$, the vector space $V$ is now viewed as a vector space over $k$. The map sending a bilinear form to the ordered pair of its rank and signature determines an isomorphism $$\xymatrix{\GW(\bbb{R}) \ar[rrr]_{\cong}^{\text{rank} \times \text{signature}}&&& \Z \times \Z},$$ as can be checked using the generators and relations described above and Sylvester's law of inertia. Since $LB$ is a functor, it determines a map $$LB: \GW(\bbb{R}) \cong \End_{\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(\bbb{R}))}(\Sphere) \to \End_{\calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\Spt)}(\Sphere) \cong \A(\Gal_{\bbb{R}}).$$ Since $LB$ is symmetric monoidal, $LB(\chi Y) = \chi(LB Y)$ for every strongly dualizable object $Y$ of $\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(\bbb{R}))$. It is a result of Hoyois \cite[Theorem 1.9]{Hoyois_lef} that for a separable field extension $k \subseteq L$, the fully dualizable spectrum $\Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1} \Spec L_+$ has Euler characteristic $\chi \Spec L = \Tr_{L/k} \langle 1 \rangle$. Thus in $\End_{\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(\bbb{R}))}(\Sphere)$, we have that $\chi(\Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1} \Spec \C_+) = \langle 1 \rangle + \langle -1 \rangle$. Since $LB (\Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1} \Spec \C_+) $ is the element of $\calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\Spt)$ corresponding to the finite $ \Gal_{\bbb{R}}$-set given by $\Gal_{\bbb{R}}$ with left translation, it follows that the map $$ \GW(\bbb{R}) \to \A(\Gal_{\bbb{R}})$$ is determined by $$\xymatrix{ \GW(\bbb{R}) \ar[d]_{\text{rank} \times \text{signature}} \ar[r] & \A(\Gal_{\bbb{R}}) \ar[d]^{(T \mapsto \vert T \vert) \times (T \mapsto \vert T^{\Gal_{\bbb{R}} }\vert)} \\ \bbb{Z}^2 \ar[r]^1 & \bbb{Z}^2},$$ and in particular is an isomorphism. Here the notation $\vert T \vert$ for a finite set $T$ denotes the cardinality of $T$. We remark that there is much more to say about the relationship between the Burnside ring and the Grothendieck-Witt group. See, for example, the recent work of Kyle Ormsby and Jeremiah Heller \cite{HO_Galois}. The following proposition about an elliptic curve is one consequence of the existence of a realization over $k=\mathbb{R}$. In the next section, we show that the analogous result often fails to hold when $k$ is a more complicated field and then use this fact to show that a suitable realization functor cannot exist. \begin{pr}\label{chirER=0} Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\R$. Then \begin{enumerate} \item \label{chiRepEC=0} For any ring $R$, we have $\sum_{i=0}^{2}(-1)^i H^i (E(\bbb{C}),R) = 0$ in $\Rep(\Gal_{\bbb{R}},R).$ \item \label{chiRepetEC=0} For a finite ring $R$, we have $\sum_{i=0}^{2}(-1)^i H^i_{\et}(E_{\bbb{C}},R) = 0$ in $\Rep(\Gal_{\bbb{R}},R).$ \end{enumerate} \end{pr} \begin{proof} $E$ is strongly dualizable in $\calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\spaces{\bbb{R}})$, and by \cite[Theorem 1.5]{Hoyois_lef}, the Euler characteristic of $E$ is $0$. Since $LB$ is a symmetric monoidal functor, it follows that $LB E$ is strongly dualizable in $\calH_{\Gal_{\bbb{R}}}(\Spt)$ and that $\chi LB E = 0$. \noindent \eqref{chiRepEC=0}: By \cite{Illman}, $LB E$ is a finite $\Gal_{\bbb{R}}$-CW complex, so we may apply Proposition~\ref{assocchiX=repchi} \eqref{pr:assocchiX=repchi:case1} to $LB E$. It follows that $ \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i(LB E,R) = 0$. Since $LB E = E(\C)$ and $H^i(E(\C), R) = 0$ for $i<0$ and $i>2$, we have $\sum_{i=0}^{2}(-1)^i H^i (E(\bbb{C}),R) = 0$ as claimed. \noindent \eqref{chiRepetEC=0}: For $R$ finite, we have a natural isomorphism $H^i (E(\bbb{C}),R) \cong H^i_{\et}(E_{\bbb{C}},R) $ by \cite[III Theorem 3.12]{MilneECbook} \cite[XI]{sga4III}, so \eqref{chiRepetEC=0} follows from \eqref{chiRepEC=0}. \end{proof} \begin{rmk} We can also verify Proposition \eqref{chirER=0} directly. Indeed, when $R=\mathbb{C}$, the representations $H^{i}(E(\mathbb{C}), R)$ can be described explicitly as follows. Let $\C$ denote the trivial representation and $\C(1)$ denote the sign representation in $\Rep(\Gal_{\bbb{R}},\C)$. Then in $\Rep(\Gal_{\bbb{R}},\C)$, we have equalities $H^0(E(\bbb{C}),\C) = \C$, $H^2(E(\bbb{C}),\C) = \C(1)$, $H^1(E(\bbb{C}),\C) = \C + \C(1)$. Indeed, the first equality follows because $\Gal_{\R}$ acts trivially on the single connected component of $E(\C)$; the second equality follows because the non-trivial element of $\Gal_{\R}$ reverses orientation; the third equality follows because the cup product gives an isomorphism of $\Gal_{\R}$-representations $\wedge^2 H^1(E(\bbb{C}),\C) \cong H^2(E(\bbb{C}),\C)$, and in the representation ring, $H^1(E(\bbb{C}),\C)$ is a direct sum of one-dimensional representations. \end{rmk} \section{Enriched Euler characteristics and restrictions on genuine $\Gal_{k}$-realization}\label{Gk-realization} Now let $G$ be a profinite group, or more specifically a Galois group. One could hope to construct a homotopy category $\calH_{G}(\Spt)$ of genuine $G$-spectra or $G$-pro-spectra, and a Burnside ring $\A(G) = \End_{\calH_{G}(\Spt)}(\Sphere)$. For example, homotopy theories of $G$-spectra are constructed in \cite{Fausk} \cite{Quick-Profinite_G-spectra} and \cite{BarwickI}. We have in mind that there is some appropriate sort of $G$-set and corresponding Burnside category such that a suspension spectrum functor is fully faithful into $\calH_{G}(\Spt)$, and that objects in $\calH_{G}(\Spt)$ can be constructed from colimits of suspensions of these $G$-sets, as is the case when $G$ is finite. The point here being that the Euler characteristic of a $G$-set would be itself, and spaces would be built from $G$-sets, giving credibility to an analogue of Proposition \ref{assocchiX=repchi}. For any profinite group, a category of genuine $G$-equivariant spectra has been constructed from a Burnside category by Barwick in \cite{BarwickI}, and studied by Barwick, Glasman, and Shah in \cite{BGSII}. Let $k$ be a field, and let $\kbar$ denote an algebraic closure of $k$ and $\Gal_k = \Gal(\kbar/k)$. One could furthermore hope to construct an {\em \'etale realization functor} $$L \Et: \calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(k)) \to \calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$$ from the stable $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy category of $\bbb{P}^1$-spectra over $k$ to genuine $\Gal_k$-spectra or pro-spectra, appropriately completed away from the characteristic of $k$. For example, Quick has constructed an \'etale realization functor from the stable $\bbb{A}^1$-homotopy category to a stable homotopy category of profinite spaces in \cite{Quick-stable_realization}. \'Etale realization functors have been constructed and studied by Ayoub \cite{Ayoub-realization_etale} and \cite[Section~7.2]{CD-etale_motives} in a generalization of the following context. The category of Voevodsky motives is analogous to the stable $\bbb{A}^1$-category \cite[Section 2]{AyoubICM}. Let $\Lambda$ be the ring $\Lambda= \bbb{Z}/\ell$ for a prime $\ell$ different from the characteristic of $k$, and assume that $k$ is perfect. Let $D(\Sheaves(k_{\et}, \Lambda))$ denote the derived category of sheaves of $\Lambda$-modules on the small \'etale site of $\Spec k$. There is an \'etale realization functor from Voevodsky motives to $D(\Sheaves(k_{\et}, \Lambda))$. Since a sheaf of $\Lambda$-modules on the small \'etale site of $\Spec k$ is a $\Lambda$-module with an action of $\Gal_k$, the derived category $D(\Sheaves(k_{\et}, \Lambda))$ is similar to spectra (of $H \Lambda$-modules) equipped with an action of $\Gal_k$. We wish to draw a similarity between $D(\Sheaves(k_{\et}, \Lambda))$ and a homotopy theory of spectra with a $\Gal_k$-action and contrast $D(\Sheaves(k_{\et}, \Lambda))$ with a notion of genuine $\Gal_k$-spectra. For example, the endomorphisms of the symmetric monoidal unit of $D(\Sheaves(k_{\et}, \Lambda))$ is $\Lambda$, in contrast to the Burnside ring. Since \'etale realization functors exist in powerful contexts, one could hope for an \'etale realization functor to genuine Galois equivariant spectra or pro-spectra. We have in mind that applying the \'etale realization functor $L \Et$ to the suspension spectrum of a smooth scheme gives an appropriate suspension spectrum of the \'etale topological type of Artin-Mazur \cite{Artin-Mazur} and Friedlander \cite{Friedlander}. In other words, we have in mind that applying $L \Et$ is compatible with an unstable \'etale realization functor $L \Et$ as constructed by Isaksen \cite{Isaksen-etale_realization} in the non-equivariant context. From this, we are lead to the following two expectations. \begin{itemize} \item Since the \'etale topological type $\Et ((X \times Y)_{\kbar})$ is equivalent to the product $\Et (X_{\kbar}) \times \Et (Y_{\kbar})$, cf. \cite[Corollarie~1.11]{sga4andhalf}, it is reasonable to hope that $L \Et$ is symmetric monoidal. \item Since the \'etale cohomology of a smooth scheme $X$ with finite coefficients $R$ is isomorphic to the cohomology of the \'etale topological type $\Et X$ with coefficients in $R$, this would result in an isomorphism of $\Gal_k$-representations $$H^i_{\et}(X_{\kbar}, R) \cong H^i(L \Et X_{\kbar}, R).$$ This implies that if the Euler characteristic of a genuine $G$-spectrum or pro-spectrum is connected to the $\Gal_k$-representations given by its cohomology groups as in Proposition \ref{assocchiX=repchi}, then applying a homomorphism $\assoc$ from $\A(G)$ to a representation ring sends this Euler characteristic to $\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} H^i_{\et}(X_{\kbar}, R).$ \end{itemize} The purpose of this paper is to show that, for many fields $k$, it is impossible to simultaneously satisfy these hopes, i.e., such an \'etale realization functor does not exist. \begin{tm}\label{tm:nonexistence} Let $k$ be a global field, local field with infinite Galois group, or finite field. Let $p$ be a prime different from the characteristic of $k$. It is impossible to simultaneously construct all of the following \begin{enumerate} \item A symmetric monoidal category $\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$, enriched over abelian groups. Let $\A(\Gal_k)= \End_{\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)}(\Sphere)$ denote the endomorphisms of the symmetric monoidal unit $\Sphere$. \item For all $n$, a representation ring $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/{p^n})$ with coefficients in $\Z/{p^n}$. \item \label{thm:nonexistence:hyp:realization} A symmetric monoidal additive functor $L \Et: \calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(k)) \to \calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$, and ring homomorphisms $\assoc_n: \A(G) \to \Rep(\Gal_k, \Z/p^n)$ such that $$\assoc_n \chi (L\Et \Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}X_+) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [H^i_{\et} (X_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)]$$ for smooth proper schemes $X$ over $k$. \end{enumerate} \end{tm} \begin{lm}\label{chirepEFellneq0pn} Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a finite field $\bbb{F}_{\ell}$, and let $p$ be any prime not dividing $\ell$. Suppose that for all $n$, we have a ring $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/{p^n})$ as in Theorem \ref{tm:nonexistence}. There exists a positive integer $n$, such that $\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)]$ is non-zero in $\Rep(\Gal_k,\bbb{Z}/p^n)$. \end{lm} \begin{proof} Suppose the contrary. Then for all $g$ in $\Gal_k$ and all $n$, we have the equality $$\Tr g \vert H^1(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n) = \Tr g \vert H^0(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n) + \Tr g \vert H^2(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)$$ in $\Z/p^n$. By definition, $H^i(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p) = \Q_p \otimes \varprojlim_n H^i(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)$ \cite[V I]{MilneECbook}. Therefore \begin{equation}\label{TrgHiEQp}\Tr g \vert H^1(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p) = \Tr g \vert H^0(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p) + \Tr g \vert H^2(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p)\end{equation} in $\Q_p$. Let $F$ be the geometric Frobenius in $\Gal_k$, i.e., the inverse of the arithmetic Frobenius $a \mapsto a^{\ell}$ for all $a$ in $\kbar$. By the Weil Conjectures, $\Tr F \vert H^1(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p) = a_1 + a_2$, where $a_i$ are algebraic integers with absolute value $\ell^{1/2}$ \cite[Theorem~IV.1.2]{Freitag_Kiehl}. Since $\Gal_k$ acts trivially on $H^0(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p)$ and there is an isomorphism $H^2(E_{\kbar}, \Q_p) \cong \Q_p(1)$, Equation~\eqref{TrgHiEQp} for $g=F$ becomes $$ a_1 + a_2 = 1+\ell.$$ Taking the absolute value of both sides, we have $$ 2 \ell^{1/2}= \vert a_1 \vert + \vert a_2 \vert \geq \vert a_1 + a_2 \vert = 1 + \ell ,$$ which is impossible for any prime power $\ell$. \end{proof} \begin{proof} (of Theorem \ref{tm:nonexistence}) Suppose $k$ is a finite field $k=\bbb{F}_{\ell}$. Choose an elliptic curve over $k=\bbb{F}_{\ell}$. To see that this is indeed possible, note that the Weierstra\ss ~equation $y^2 = x (x-1)(x+1)$ determines an elliptic curve when $\bbb{F}_{\ell}$ has odd characteristic. When $\ell=2^d$, the equation $y^2+y=x^3$ produces the desired elliptic curve. By Lemma \ref{chirepEFellneq0pn}, there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)]$ is non-zero in $\Rep(\Gal_k,\bbb{Z}/p^n)$. By hypothesis \eqref{thm:nonexistence:hyp:realization} of the theorem, $\assoc_n \chi (L\Et \Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}E_+) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)]$. It follows that $\chi (L\Et \Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}E_+) $ is non-zero. Since $L \Et$ is a symmetric monoidal functor (by \eqref{thm:nonexistence:hyp:realization}), it follows that $L\Et \chi (\Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}E_+) = \chi (L\Et \Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}E_+)$, and therefore $\chi (\Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}E_+)$ is non-zero. This contradicts \cite[Theorem 1.5]{Hoyois_lef}. Suppose $k$ is a local field with infinite Galois group, i.e., $k$ is a finite extension of $\Q_{\ell}$ or $\bbb{F}_{\ell}((t))$, and let $\mathcal{O}_{k}$ denote the integral closure of $\Z_{\ell}$ or $\bbb{F}_{\ell}[[t]]$ in $k$. We may choose an elliptic curve $E$ over $k$ with good reduction by choosing an elliptic curve over the residue field (as discussed in the previous paragraph) and then applying \cite[III 7.3]{sga1}. Thus we have an elliptic curve $f: \mathcal{E} \to \Spec \mathcal{O}_k$. Let $E_0 = \mathcal{E} \times_{\Spec \mathcal{O}_k} \Spec \bbb{F}_{\ell}$ denote the fiber over the closed point. By smooth-proper base change, \cite[VI \S4 Corollary 4.2]{MilneECbook} $R^if_* \mathbb{Z}/p^n$ is a locally constant sheaf on $\Spec \mathcal{O}_k$ whose stalk at a geometric point $s: \Spec \Omega \to \Spec \mathcal{O}_k$ is $H^i(\mathcal{E}_s, \mathbb{Z}/p^n)$, where $\mathcal{E}_s = \mathcal{E} \times_{\Spec \mathcal{O}_k} \Spec \Omega$. It follows that the $\Gal_{k}$-action on $H^i(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)$ factors through the quotient map $$\Gal_{k} \to \Gal(k^{\text{un}}/k) \cong \pi_1(\Spec \mathcal{O}_k) \cong \Gal_{\bbb{F}_{\ell^d}},$$ where $k^{\text{un}}$ is the maximal unramified extension of $k$ and $\bbb{F}_{\ell^d}$ is the residue field. It likewise follows that $H^i(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)$ is isomorphic to $H^i((E_0)_{\overline{\bbb{F}_{\ell}}}, \Z/p^n)$ as $\Gal_{\bbb{F}_{\ell^d}}$-modules. This reduces the claim to the case where $k$ is a finite field. Lastly, suppose that $k$ is a global field. Choose an elliptic curve $E$ over $k$, and let $\nu$ be a place not dividing the discriminant, so $E$ has good reduction at $\nu$. Let $k_{\nu}$ be the completion of $k$ at $\nu$. The decomposition group of $\nu$ in $\Gal_k$ gives an injection $\Gal_{k_{\nu}} \to \Gal_k$, and the $\Gal_{k_{\nu}}$-action on $H^i(E_{\kbar}, \Z/p^n)$ is isomorphic to the $\Gal_{k_{\nu}}$-action on $H^i(E_{\overline{k_{\nu}}}, \Z/p^n)$. By the previous paragraph, we may again reduce the claim to the case where $k$ is a finite field. \end{proof} We give a slight variation on Theorem \ref{tm:nonexistence}, where only the representation rings $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/p)$ with $p$ prime appear. \begin{tm}\label{tm:nonexistencev2} Let $k$ be a global field, a local field with infinite Galois group, or a finite field. It is impossible to simultaneously construct all of the following \begin{enumerate} \item A symmetric monoidal category $\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$, enriched over abelian groups. Let $\A(\Gal_k)= \End_{\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)}(\Sphere)$ denote the endomorphisms of the symmetric monoidal unit $\Sphere$. \item \label{trassumption2} For infinitely many primes $p$, a representation ring $\Rep( \Gal_k, \Z/p)$ with coefficients in $\Z/p$. \item \label{trassumption3} A symmetric monoidal additive functor $L \Et: \calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(k)) \to \calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$, and a homomorphism of rings $\assoc: \A(G) \to \Rep(\Gal_k, \Z/p)$ such that $\assoc \chi (L\Et \Sigma^{\infty}_{\bbb{P}^1}X_+) = \sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i H^i_{\et} (X_{\kbar}, \Z/p)$ for smooth proper schemes $X$ over $k$. \end{enumerate} \end{tm} \begin{proof} Replace Lemma \ref{chirepEFellneq0pn} with Lemma \ref{chirepEFellneq0p} below in the proof of Theorem \ref{tm:nonexistence}. \end{proof} \begin{lm}\label{chirepEFellneq0p} Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a finite field $\bbb{F}_{\ell}$. Let $p$ be any prime greater than the cardinality of $E(\bbb{F}_{\ell})$. Then $\sum_{i=-\infty}^{\infty} (-1)^i [H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p) ]$ is non-zero in $\Rep(\Gal_k,\bbb{Z}/p)$. \end{lm} \begin{proof} Let $k= \bbb{F}_{\ell}$ and let $F$ be the geometric Frobenius in $\Gal_k$, i.e., the inverse of the arithmetic Frobenius $a \mapsto a^{\ell}$ for all $a$ in $\kbar$. By assumption \eqref{trassumption2}, it suffices to show that $\sum_{i=0}^{2} (-1)^i \Tr F\vert H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p) $ is non-zero in $\Z/p$. By \cite[pg.~292]{MilneECbook} the trace of $F$ equals the trace of the Frobenius endomorphism of $E$. By the Lefschetz Trace Formula, $$\sum_{i=0}^{2} (-1)^i \Tr F\vert H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p) = \vert E(\bbb{F}_{\ell}) \vert$$ in $\Z/p$ (see \cite[Proposition~7.1]{WIN3-2} for further explanation on the mod $p$ version; it is contained in \cite{sga4andhalf} and can also be deduced from \cite{Hoyois_lef}). Since $p$ is greater than $ \vert E(\bbb{F}_{\ell}) \vert$ by assumption and all elliptic curves contain at least one rational point, it follows that $\sum_{i=0}^{2} (-1)^i \Tr F\vert H^i_{\et} (E_{\kbar}, \Z/p)$ is non-zero as desired. \end{proof} \begin{rmk} By Section \ref{GR-realization}, when $k=\R$, there does exist a symmetric monoidal category $\calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$ and a symmetric monoidal functor $L \Et: \calH_{\bbb{A}^1}(\Spt^{\bbb{P}^1}(k)) \to \calH_{\Gal_k}(\Spt)$ satisfying the conditions of Theorems \ref{tm:nonexistence} and \ref{tm:nonexistencev2}. \end{rmk} \section{Acknowledgements} We wish to thank Joseph Ayoub, Gunnar Carlsson, Akhil Mathew, and all the participants of the AIM workshop on Derived Equivariant Algebraic Geometry, June 13--17, 2016, organized by Andrew Blumberg, Teena Gerhardt, Michael Hill, and Kyle Ormsby, and additionally including the participation of Clark Barwick, Elden Elmanto, Saul Glasman, Jeremiah Heller, Denis Nardin, and Jay Shah.

TITLE: Does $x^n = 1$ for all $x$ in $G$ imply that $G$ is abelian? QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Does $x^n = 1$ for all $x$ in $G$ imply that $G$ is abelian? For $n = 2$ i know that this is correct. For odd prime numbers i know that $H_p$ (Heisenberg group modulo p) is a counter-example. But what about $n = mk$. Does this case have a counter-example too? If not, how can i go about proving this statement. REPLY [3 votes]: Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$, and suppose $n>2$. Does there exist a non-abelian group $G$ in which $x^n=1$ for all $x\in G$? The answer is Yes. For an odd prime $p$ you know that $H_p$ satisfies $x^p=1$ for all $x$. For $n=4$ the Dihedral group $D_8$ of order $8$ (or the quaternion group) satisfies $x^4=1$ for all $x$. Now let $n>4$. If $n$ is divisible by an odd prime $p$ so that $n=pk$, then the Heisenberg group $H_p$ satisfies $x^n=(x^{p})^k=1$ for all $x$. If $n=2^k$ and $k\geqslant 2$ then $D_8$ satisfies $(x^4)^{2^{k-2}}=1$.

These are my novels on Lulu, please check them out. One of the great things about growing up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania was that every block had its own candy store. I had it even better; I had three candy stores, a movie theater, an ice cream counter, and a pizza parlor all in walking distance of my house. To top it off my house was next door to the city swimming pool; which also happen to be the gathering place for all the kids in the summer. George’s store was a block away and he had all of the classic penny candy. I must have run up to that store a thousand times with the coins that my mom could afford to give me. It was always a difficult choice. Would it be the milk chocolate squares called Grade A’s or the long lasting sweet balls called Jawbreakers, how about Mary Jane’s, love the peanut butter. Then there were things like the wax tubes with the different flavors of syrup in them and, of course, Bazooka bubble gum. George’s also offered a nickel soda but you had to return the bottle as soon as you were finished with it. I spent quite some time standing outside that little store drinking a cherry or an orange soda. The big candy bars were a nickel. I wouldn’t buy them unless I had lots of money, relatively speaking. Why would I buy one candy bar when I could get a variety of things? Those coins didn’t come easy and I had to get my bang for the buck, or should I say penny. There was another little store on the same street. I don’t remember its name; it closed when I was still a kid. This store was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In the summer, if I could get a hold of thirty cents, I would go and get the special ice cream cone. The man would take a rectangular pint of ice cream, that’s how pints were sold in those days, and he would use a big knife to cut it in thirds. I would get one third of a pint of ice cream in a cool rectangular topped code; that was a real treat. Now you can get some of the same candy in big bags but it’s not the same. The adventure was standing in front of that glass staring at the choices and carefully pointing out the ones that you wanted. That is experience that will not be duplicated in a society of instant gratification. Our neighborhood wasn’t very affluent, but we were all in the same boat. Every kid would get a few precious coins now and then and the candy is where we would go. Penny candy was a big deal, and the corner candy store was our dearest friend. Priceless descriptions of ‘our neighborhoods’ Pete. Thanks. I can see … and smell … the penny candies as I read your words. And … I can feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck (my head is bald; no feeling there.) as I ‘hear’ the shrill chastisement of the George brothers annoyance coming down on me with a vengeance as I changed my selections repeatedly. Thanks Dave. Yeah I remember being chased out of the store a few times myself.

. Recent research has linked gum disease with heart disease, underscoring the importance of caring for your gums. Gingivitis is often the first development in gum disease, and because gingivitis is inflammation, patients sometimes believe that treatment is unnecessary. But did you know that the bacteria responsible for gingivitis actually inhibit the immune system? Your Dallas dentist, Dr. Diep Truong, explains how gingivitis fools the immune system. Gingivitis and the Immune System The bacteria responsible for gingivitis are called porphyromonas gingivalis. These bacteria have an interesting effect on the body. Their presence triggers the production of an anti-inflammatory molecule called IL-10. This molecule, in turn, stops T-cells, blood cells which fight diseases and harmful substances, from working against the infection. Fighting Gum Disease Preventing gum disease involves keeping teeth clean of plaque and tartar, which contain harmful bacteria. To keep teeth clean, brush twice a day and floss once. When brushing, be sure to angle the bristles of the toothbrush toward the gum line. Changing your diet can also prove useful in the fight against gum disease. A diet consisting of too much sugar can feed bacteria and contribute to the formation of plaque. In addition to implementing good homecare and a healthy diet, visit your Dallas dentist, Dr. Truong, every six months for regular checkups and cleanings.

TITLE: Does this type of real functions have a name ? What are their characteristics? QUESTION [6 upvotes]: Let $n > 0$ be an integer. Let $f:\mathbb R^+ \times \mathbb R^+ \rightarrow \mathbb R_0$ be a symmetric function such that the $(n+1) \times k$ matrix \begin{equation} \mathbb M= \begin{pmatrix} f(s_{k-n+1},s_1) & \ldots & f(s_{k-n+1},s_k)\\ \vdots & & \vdots \\ f(s_{k+1},s_1) & \ldots & f(s_{k+1},s_k)\\ \end{pmatrix} \end{equation} has at most $n$ linearly independent rows for any $k>n$ and real sequence $s_1<s_2<\ldots<s_{k+1}$. What does that say about $f$ ? Do such function have a name ? What are their characteristics/properties ? Is there an easier "definition" that would be equivalent, without matrices for example? Or a stronger "easier" property that would imply the above property ? REPLY [1 votes]: This is a special case, but it is also a broad class. It isthe exact solution if $n=1$. If you take $f(x, y) = h(\min \{ x, y\} ) g(\max \{x,y\} ) $, then the first $(k-n+1) $ columns are multiple of $( g(s_{k+n-1}), \ldots , g(s_{k+1}) ) $ . The rank remain then unchanged if we discard the first $k-n$ columns; now we have $k-(k-n) = n $ columns, so that the rank is at most $n$ as desired. Note also that such functions are symmetric. Conversely, suppose $n=1$ and set $k=2$. Taking determinant one obtains (the function is never zero) $$ \frac{ f(s_2, s_2) }{ f(s_3, s_2) } = \frac{ f(s_2, s_1) }{f(s_3, s_1) } $$ Which means that the quotient on the right does not depend on $s_1 < s_2$. Taking $s_3 = L$ very big we get that for all $s_1 < s_2 < L$ : $$ f(s_2, s_1) = \frac{ f(s_2, s_2) }{f(L, s_2) } f(L, s_1) = g(s_2) \cdot h(s_1) $$ By symmetry we will have that for $s_2 < s_1 < L$ $$ f(s_1, s_2) = f(s_2, s_1) = g(s_1) h(s_2) $$ So that $f(x, y) = h(\min \{x, y\}) g(\max \{x, y\}) $. We can repeat this argument for greater $L$, but since the new $h, g$ must agree with the old ones on $s_1 , s_2 < L$, we will get well defined functions $h, g$ on all of $\mathbb{R}^+$. Hope you enjoy!

TITLE: possible determinants of permutations QUESTION [4 upvotes]: this is taken from Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra book: What are all the possible $4\times4$ determinants of $I + P_{even}$? (P - permutation matrix) I seem to be stuck on this question except for the one fact that the diagonal is always going contain $1$'s and that even permutations themselves have determinant $1.$ Thanks in advance REPLY [2 votes]: Decompose the permutation into cycles and consider the cycle lengths. There are five possibilities: 1+1+1+1 (this notation means there are four 1-cycles). This is an even permutation and $P=I$. So, $\det(I+P)=2^4$. 1+1+2. This is an odd permutation. 1+3. This is an even permutation and $P$ is permutation similar to $\pmatrix{1\\ &0&1&0\\ &0&0&1\\ &1&0&0}$. Hence $\det(I+P)=2^2$. 2+2. This is an even permutation and $P$ is permutation similar to $\pmatrix{0&1\\ 1&0\\ &&0&1\\ &&1&0}$. Hence $\det(I+P)=0$. 4 . The permutation is a 4-cycle, hence odd. In conclusion, $\det(I+P)$ can be $\color{red}{0,\,2^2}$ or $\color{red}{2^4}$.

, but on those things which became their pet issues, they saw a binary choice — “you are either with us or against us.” The issues which they divided were held up to be gospel issues, issues in which there was no place for disagreement or a difference in perspective. Black and white, right or wrong. While some revisionist historians may argue that it was a disagreement understood at the time to be about cultural issues, even a cursory read of the letters of secession shows this to be wrong. While the things which caused the secession of 1857 were most certainly about nonessentials, the people involved saw them as things core to the gospel. In 1882, there was another secessionist movement, this time over freemason lodge membership. There was nothing forcing boards of elders to allow members to be members of lodges, there was no statement by the General Synod allowing (or favoring) lodge membership. Indeed, the General Synod discouraged it. But because other churches somewhere else might allow their members to be members of lodges, a secession was required. Not because one is being forced to live and worship and practice their faith in a way that conflicted with their conscience, but because “somebody, somewhere might be doing or thinking something that I don’t like.” And so, this became a binary issue. Black or white, right or wrong. This became a gospel issue, and issue over which it was worth the risk of splitting the church apart again, leaving yet another wound in the body of Christ. *** These are only two examples in my little corner of the Kingdom of God. Throughout history and across traditions, there have been topics, issues, that are held up as gospel issues that one must choose, you must choose this or that, black or white, right or wrong. No ability to wrestle, to struggle, to be in fellowship with disagreement. Whereas Joshua told his people to serve God or foreign gods (Josh 24:14-15), the narrative at times of tension and conflict are: choose this day your stance on this particular topic, because this topic determines whether or not you are a part of Christ. This, however, is a false narrative, a false choice, a false dichotomy. To claim that we cannot be in relationship and fellowship and that we must break our covenantal promises because, while we all agree on the foundations of our faith and although we have all made the same promises, some see one topic differently. This false narrative is rearing its ugly and sinful head in the Reformed Church yet again. One’s stance on human sexuality has become elevated to the single “gospel issue” which seems to matter by many in the fundamentalist/evangelical wing of the communion. The means of grace (the sacraments), the nature of covenant, salvation, or even the covenant promises that we had made to God and each other when we were ordained to ecclesiastical office, all these take second place. The narrative is that there must be a choice forced between two binary poles. This narrative, however, is artificial. This narrative is little more than a way to scorch the earth in order to try to force one into a sense of the worldly understanding of “victory.” *** So often I hear, “We are tired of fighting!” To which I respond, “Then stop!” Stop fighting. Stop lobbing grenades over the walls, stop shooting artillery from your trenches. These are trenches that we have dug, they are walls that we have built, they are fights that we have initiated. Those who wish to cause the single issue of human sexuality to be the only thing that matters in covenantal fellowship wish to continue the fight until they either “win” or harm the church seeking a sense of victory. The goal is to continue the language of “us vs them” because it is known that if we are able to break free from this framework, that the fighting will stop, and no one except Christ and Christ’s church can claim victory. And what about those who are not able or willing to make an artificial binary choice? What about those who think there is more to the church than sex, and who can have sex with whom? What about those who want to focus on living as disciples of Christ and living as a foretaste of the kingdom of God? What about those who want to love God and love others? What about those who are weary of the fighting, weary of the division, weary of the trenches and grenades and the war of attrition in which we are currently locked? The choice is not binary. No two people can agree on everything, how much more for a church communion? The point is not to ignore differences, but to talk about them, even argue about them. For some, there are differences which are irreconcilable, but these are not the same for everyone. For one new and newly public faction, however, human sexuality seems to be a mark of the true church, but the means of grace are not. However, to insist that this must be the line in the sand for everyone is simply false. *** So to those who wish to be the church, you are invited not into a faction, not into an alliance. You are invited, not by me, or by a leadership cadre. You are invited by Christ and by the saints who have gone before. You are invited into the church, you are invited into the Body of Christ, and into our corner of the Kingdom of Christ, the Reformed Church in America. Into this covenantal communion who have commitments to each other in the things that we see as essential (these can be found in the Government (and disciplinary and judicial procedures), the Liturgy, and the four Doctrinal Standards), while also allowing for difference with proper oversight (board of elders for members, consistory for church, classis for ministers and consistories), as well as ensuring that we live up to our covenantal promises, and fulfill the obligations which we have promised to fulfill (the synods, then, have a role in this). There are those spinning this false narrative of an artificial binary choice which we must choose and choose in an instant, and if we allow this to control the conversation, we will never find peace, we will never find, unity, and we will never find purity. Indeed, there is no clear dividing line between the broad and problematic categories of “liberal,” “moderate,” and “conservative.” Indeed, there are conservatives who refuse to make this single issue the hill on which they are willing to die, and upon they are willing to, once again, carve up a part of Christ’s body. We are not the world. We do not have parties, we do not have a binary opposition. We may disagree, but we are all working together for the same goal. Now we are to live into this. Understanding there are differences, and some of these differences are big. Understanding we can disagree about these differences and that we can even disagree strongly. But always understanding that Christ is far bigger than whether we sing hymns or Psalms or how we teach the Heidelberg Catechism, Christ is far bigger than the question of lodge membership, Christ is far bigger than human sexuality. Because if Christ is not enough to hold us together, then what is? 3 thoughts on “Rethinking the Artificial Binary” Hi Matthew, I just had some clarifying questions for you, as I’m trying to better understand your post. First, if celebrating homosexuality was no different than membership in the masons, then yes, by all means let’s “stop fighting”. But isn’t this a much deeper, more foundational issue: an issue of sin? We have a portion of the denomination celebrating and affirming something that the vast majority of the universal church believes the Bible condemns and is sin. Would you be writing this same post if the issue was polyamory or pornography or adultery? These are also issues the vast majority of the universal church condems and considers to be sin. Would you herald polyamory, pornagraphy or adultery as non-binary choices for the sake of fellowship? Why or why not? Thanks in advance for any dialogue you can give regarding this. I really hope you are willing to answer these questions, as it will really help in better understanding the central argument that you made in this post. A couple of things. First, you downplay, I think, the seriousness with which the seceders saw lodge membership. They also saw it as something which was completely incompatible with loyalty to Christ. Second, the question at the root of all this is this: where is the “church”? When the Belgic Confession speaks of the marks of the church, where are those marks to be seen? It’s certainly not in a synod, indeed, it is the local church. So we are a collection of churches which are in covenantal communion…what does that mean? The Reformed Church is not a hierarchy, there are no higher and lower assemblies in the usual sense of the term. At one level this is a discussion about human sexuality, at a deeper level, however, this is also about what it means to be the church, and this is the discussion that we are not having but need to have. Thanks for the response. But to help me better understand you, could you answer the question of would you still write this article if the issue was adultery or polyamory? Would you herald these as non binary choices for the sake of a denomination staying together? Thanks in advance again for answering.

\chapter{The extension theorem}\label{chap:extension} \section{Morphisms of varieties with curves} \subsection{Jets of \'etale morphisms} Given a nonsingular variety $X$, let $\Delta_X : X \to X^\sharp$ denote the diagonal section. Since $X^\sharp$ is a bundle of formal discs, the sheaf $\underline\Aut_X(X^\sharp ; \Delta_X)$ is an affine group scheme over $X$, a Zariski-locally trivial twisted form of the group of origin-preserving automorphisms of a formal disc of dimension $\dim(X)$. Given another nonsingular variety $Y$ with $\dim(Y)=\dim(X)$, let $$ X \xleftarrow{\pr_X} X \times Y \xrightarrow{\pr_Y} Y $$ be the two projections, and consider the sheaves \begin{eqnarray*} \sF_{X,Y} &=& \underline\Hom_{X\times Y}(\pr_X^*X^\sharp,\pr_Y^*Y^\sharp ; \pr_X^*\Delta_X,\pr_Y^*\Delta_Y) \\ \sE_{X,Y} &=& \underline\Isom_{X\times Y}(\pr_X^*X^\sharp,\pr_Y^*Y^\sharp ; \pr_X^*\Delta_X,\pr_Y^*\Delta_Y) \end{eqnarray*} over $X\times Y$. Since $\pr_X^* X^\sharp$ and $\pr_Y^* Y^\sharp$ are bundles of formal discs of equal dimension, it follows that $\sF_{X,Y}$ is a Zariski-locally trivial $\AA^\infty$-bundle over $X\times Y$, while $\sE_{X,Y}$ is a Zariski-locally trivial right torsor for $\underline\Aut_X(X^\sharp;\Delta_X)\times Y$, and a Zariski-locally trivial left torsor for $X\times\underline\Aut_Y(Y^\sharp;\Delta_Y)$. \begin{lem}\label{lem:e-stratification} $\sF_{X,Y} / X$ is equipped with a natural stratification, restricting to $\sE_{X,Y}/X$. \end{lem} \begin{proof} Let $\epsilon : \sF_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp \to Y^\sharp$ be the universal map. Consider the commutative diagram $$\begin{CD} \sF_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_XX^\sharp @>{\id\times p_{13}}>> \sF_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp @>{\epsilon}>> Y^\sharp \\ @A{\id\times\Delta_X}AA @. @AA{\Delta_Y}A \\ \sF_{X,Y} \times_XX^\sharp @>{\epsilon}>> Y^\sharp @>{p_2}>> Y \end{CD}$$ where $p_2 :Y^\sharp \to Y$ is the right projection, and $p_{13} : X^\sharp\times_XX^\sharp \to X^\sharp$ is the leftmost-rightmost projection. By the universal property of $\sF_{X,Y}$, the top composite $\epsilon \circ (\id\times p_{13})$ defines a morphism fitting into a diagram $$\begin{CD} \sF_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp @>>> \sF_{X,Y} \\ @VVV @VVV \\ X^\sharp @>>> X \end{CD} $$ where the bottom horizontal arrow is the \emph{right} structure map. This gives the desired morphism $\sF_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp \to X^\sharp\times_X\sF_{X,Y}$ over $X^\sharp$. Since $\sE_{X,Y}$ is an open subscheme of $\sF_{X,Y}$, it inherits a stratification. \end{proof} The sheaf $\sE_{X,Y}$ parametrises $\infty$-jets of formally-\'etale maps $X \to Y$. Such maps induce isomorphisms of spaces of arcs: the universal map $$ \Phi_{X,Y} : \sE_{X,Y} \times_X X^\sharp \to \sE_{X,Y}\times_Y Y^\sharp $$ lifts to produce a commutative diagram $$\begin{CD} \sE_{X,Y} \times_X X^\sharp\times_X\Arc_X @>{\tilde\Phi_{X,Y}}>> \sE_{X,Y}\times_Y Y^\sharp\times_Y\Arc_Y \\ @VVV @VVV \\ \sE_{X,Y} \times_X X^\sharp @>{\Phi_{X,Y}}>> \sE_{X,Y}\times_Y Y^\sharp \end{CD}$$ where both horizontal arrows are isomorphisms. We now want to restrict to maps preserving families of arcs induced by families of rational curves. Let us for convenience introduce the following notion. \begin{defn} A \emph{good family} on a nonsingular projective variety $X$ is a irreducible component $\sM \subset \underline\Hom_\bir^n(\PP^1,X)$ such that the generic $\sM$-curve is minimal and unramified at $0$, and the generic fibre of $\sM_1^\free \to X$ is geometrically irreducible and positive-dimensional. \end{defn} Given a nonsingular variety with good family $(X,\sM)$, we will denote by $\hat\sM_1 \subset \Arc_X$ the closure of the image of the generic point of $\sM_1$ under the natural monomorphism $\sM_1^\arc \to \Arc_X$ (in particular, $\sM_1$ and $\hat\sM_1$ are birational). Given another such pair $(Y,\sN)$, with $\dim(Y)=\dim(X)$, consider the subsheaf $\sC_{X,Y} \subset \sE_{X,Y}$ defined by $$ \sC_{X,Y}(T) = \{ \varphi \in \sE_{X,Y}(T)\ |\ \varphi^*\tilde\Phi_{X,Y} : T \times_X X^\sharp \times_X \hat\sM_1 \xrightarrow{\simeq} T\times_Y Y^\sharp\times_Y \hat\sN_1 \}. $$ It is a closed subscheme of $\sE_{X,Y}$, parametrising $\infty$-jets of formally \'etale maps $X\to Y$ inducing isomorphisms of $\hat\sM_1$ onto $\hat\sN_1$. We will also use the `generic locus' $$ \sC_{X,Y}^\circ = x\times_X \sC_{X,Y}\times_Y y $$ where $x$, $y$ are the generic points of $X$, $Y$. \begin{lem}\label{lem:c-stratification} The stratification on $\sE_{X,Y} / X$ restricts to $\sC_{X,Y} / X$ and $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}/X$. \end{lem} \begin{proof} It is enough to notice that $\tilde\Phi_{X,Y}$ is horizontal with respect to the pullbacks of the canonical stratifications on $X^\sharp\times_X\Arc_X$ and $Y^\sharp\times_Y\Arc_Y$. \end{proof} \begin{lem}\label{lem:c-generic} $\sC_{X,Y}^\circ$ is dense in $\sC_{X,Y}$. \end{lem} \begin{proof} Let $c_0 \in \sC_{X,Y}$ be a point with $\pr_X(c_0)=x_0$. Let $I \subset \OO_{X,x_0}$ be the kernel of $\OO_{X,x_0} \to \pr_{X*}\OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c_0}$. By Lemma \ref{lem:c-stratification}, $I \subset \cap_r \fm_{x_0}^r = 0$, so that $x \times_X \Spec \OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c_0}$ is dense in $\Spec \OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c_0}$. Now let $c \in x \times_X \Spec \OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c_0}$ be a point with $\pr_Y(c)=y_0$. Let $J \subset \OO_{Y,y_0}$ be the kernel of $\OO_{Y,y_0} \to \pr_{Y*} \OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c}$. Since the definition of $\sC_{X,Y}$ is symmetric in $X$, $Y$, Lemma \ref{lem:c-stratification} gives a stratification on $\sC_{X,Y}/Y$. Hence $J \subset \cap_r \fm_{y_0}^r = 0$, so that $\Spec\OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c}\times_Y y$ is dense in $\Spec\OO_{\sC_{X,Y},c}$. \end{proof} \begin{lem}\label{lem:c-m1-n1} There is a natural commutative diagram $$\begin{CD} \sC_{X,Y}^\circ \times_X X^\sharp \times_X m_1 @>>> \sC_{X,Y}^\circ\times_Y Y^\sharp\times_Y n_1 \\ @VVV @VVV \\ \sC_{X,Y}^\circ \times_X X^\sharp \times_X \hat\sM_1 @>{\tilde\Phi_{X,Y}}>> \sC_{X,Y}^\circ\times_Y Y^\sharp\times_Y\hat\sN_1 \end{CD}$$ where $m_1$, $n_1$ are the generic points of $\sM_1$, $\sN_1$. \end{lem} \begin{proof} Recall that $m_1 \to \hat\sM_1$ and $n_1 \to \hat\sN_1$ are inclusions of generic points, while the bottom horizontal arrow is an isomorphism. The field extensions $\kappa(m_1)/\kappa(x)$ and $\kappa(n_1)/\kappa(y)$ are separable by freeness of $m_1$, $n_1$. It follows that for every $c \in C^\circ_{X,Y}$ the induced isomorphism $$\kappa(c)\otimes_{\kappa(x)}(x\times_X \hat\sM_1) \xrightarrow{\tilde\Phi_{X,Y}} \kappa(c)\otimes_{\kappa(y)}(y\times_Y \hat\sN_1)$$ sends $c\times_xm_1$ to $c\times_yn_1$. Since $\sC_{X,Y}^\circ\times_Y n_1$ is a localisation of $\sC_{X,Y}^\circ\times_Y\hat\sN_1$, it follows that $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp\times_X\hat\sM_1 \xrightarrow{\tilde\Phi_{X,Y}} \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_Y Y^\sharp\times_Y\sN_1 $$ sends $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X m_1$ into $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_YY^\sharp\times_Y n_1$. \end{proof} \subsection{Parallel transport along curves} Note that given a morphism $f:T \to X$, the stratification on $\sC_{X,Y}/X$ induces one on the pullback $f^*\sC_{X,Y} / T$: $$\begin{CD} T^\sharp \times_T f^*\sC_{X,Y}@= T^\sharp \times_X \sC_{X,Y} @= T^\sharp \times_{X^\sharp} (X^\sharp\times_X\sC_{X,Y}) \\ @. @. @V{\simeq}VV \\ f^*\sC_{X,Y}\times_TT^\sharp @= \sC_{X,Y}\times_XT^\sharp @= (\sC_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp)\times_{X^\sharp}T^\sharp. \end{CD}$$ The key point of this section is then the following `parallel transport' result, an analogue of Hwang and Mok's analytic continuation along rational curves~\cite{hwang-mok-extension}. \begin{pro}\label{pro:extension-m1} Let $(X,\sM)$ and $(Y,\sN)$ be a pair of nonsingular varieties with good families, such that $\dim(X)=\dim(Y)$. Let $m_2$ be the generic point of $\sM_2$ together with evaluation maps $m_2 \rightrightarrows X$. Then there is a natural isomorphism $$ {\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}\times_Xm_2 \to m_2\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ horizontal over $m_2$ with respect to the induced stratifications. \end{pro} \begin{proof} Let $\tilde m_1 \in \sM_2$ be the image of $m_1$ under the zero-section $\sM_1\to\sM_2$. Set $$ M = \Spec \OO_{\sM_2,\tilde m_1},\quad \hat M =\Spf\hat\OO_{\sM_2,\tilde m_1} $$ so that $M$ is the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring with closed point $\tilde m_1$ and generic point $m_2$, and $\hat M$ is its completion. We will first construct a morphism $$ \psi : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp \times_X M \to \sN_2. $$ extending the canonical top horizontal arrow in the diagram $$\begin{CD} \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp \times_X \hat M @>{\hat\psi}>> \hat\sN_2 \\ @VVV @VVV \\ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp \times_X \Arc_X \times_X X^\sharp @>>> \Arc_Y \times_Y Y^\sharp \end{CD}$$ where the bottom hotizontal arrow is induced by $\tilde \Phi$ and $\Phi$, while the vertical arrows are induced by the natural maps to the spaces of arcs and by evaluation at the second marked point. With $(\sM_2/X)^2$ denoting the fibre product of $\sM_2$ with itself with respect to the \emph{right} structure maps into $X$, consider the natural diagram $$ \sM_2 \overset{q_1}{\underset{\Delta}{\leftrightarrows}} (\sM_2/X)^\sharp \xrightarrow{q_2} X^\sharp\times_X \sM_2 $$ of morphisms over $X^\sharp$. Its pullback by the rightmost structure map $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\to X$ gives $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X M \overset{\tilde q_1}{\underset{\tilde\Delta}{\leftrightarrows}} \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X (M/X)^\sharp \xrightarrow{\tilde q_2} \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X X^\sharp \times_X X^\sharp \times_X M. $$ Let $\pi:\sM_2\to\sN_1$, $\varpi:\sN_2\to\sN_1$ and $p_{13} : X^\sharp\times_XX^\sharp\to X^\sharp$ denote the natural projections. By Lemma \ref{lem:c-m1-n1}, we have the composite \begin{eqnarray*} \nu : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp\times_X (M/X)^\sharp &\xrightarrow{\tilde q_2}& \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X X^\sharp\times_X X^\sharp\times_X M \\ &\xrightarrow{p_{13*}}& \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X M \\ &\xrightarrow{\pi_*} & \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X m_1\\ &\xrightarrow{\tilde\Phi_{X,Y}}& \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_YY^\sharp\times_Y n_1\\ &\xrightarrow{\pr_{n_1}}& n_1. \end{eqnarray*} Consider now the pullback diagram $$\begin{CD} \tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\sN_2 @>>> \nu^*\sN_2 @>>> \sN_2 \\ @V{h}VV @VVV @V{\varpi}VV \\ \\ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X M @>{\tilde\Delta}>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X (M/X)^\sharp @>{\nu}>> \sN_1 \end{CD}$$ where the vertical arrows are $\PP^1$-bundles. Viewing $\sN_2 \to \sN_1$ as the universal $\sN$-curve in $Y$, let $N_{\sN_2/Y}$ be the universal normal sheaf on $\sN_2$. Identifying $T_{M/X}$ with the pullback by $\Delta$ of the relative tangent sheaf of $q_1$, the pullback $\tilde\Delta^* d\nu$ defines by adjunction a map $$ g : r_1^* T_{M/X} \to r_2^* N_{\sN_2/Y} $$ of locally free sheaves on $\tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\sN_2$, where. $$ M \xleftarrow{r_1} \tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\sN_2 \xrightarrow{r_2} \sN_2, $$ are the natural projections. \begin{lem} The zero-locus of $g$ is the graph of a morphism $$\psi: {\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}\times_XX^\sharp\times_XM \to \sN_2$$ lifting $\nu \circ \tilde\Delta$ and extending $\hat\psi$. \end{lem} \begin{proof} Let ${\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ be the zero-locus of $g$. Since $h$ is proper, so it $h|_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$. Since the generic $\sN$-curve is minimal, the ideal sheaf $\sI_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ of ${\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ in $\tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\sN_2$ splits along the fibres of the $\PP^1$-bundle $h$ into invertible sheaves with degrees in $\{-1,0\}$, so that $R^1h_*\sI_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}=0$ and the natural map $$ \OO_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_XM} \to h_*\OO_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}} $$ is surjective. It follows that every geometric fibre of $h|_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ is either empty, a single reduced point, or a whole $\PP^1$. Consider the pullback $$\begin{CD} \iota^*\tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\hat\sN_2 @>{\tilde\iota}>> \tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\hat\sN_2 @>>> \hat\sN_2\\ @VVV @VVV @V{\varpi}VV\\ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp\times_X \hat M @>{\iota}>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp\times_X M @>{\nu\circ \tilde\Delta}>> \sN_1 \end{CD}$$ where $\iota$ is the natural monomorphism. By construction, the graph of $$\hat\psi : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X\hat M \to \hat\sN_2$$ factors through ${\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$. Since the geometric generic fibre of $\sM_1^\free \to X$ is positive-dimensional, the geometric fibres of $h|_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ over $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XX^\sharp\times_X \tilde m_1$ are single reduced points, so that the restriction ${\sC^\circ_{X,Y}} \cap \iota^*\tilde\Delta^*\nu^*\sN_2$ actually coincides with the graph of $\hat\psi$. In particular, $\iota^*h|_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ is an isomorphism. Since $\iota$ is an epimorphism of formal schemes, and $\varpi$ is a $\PP^1$-bundle, it follows that $\tilde\iota$ is an epimorphism of formal schemes. Thus $h|_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$ is a closed immersion, adic and admitting a section over $\iota$, hence an isomorphism. \end{proof} We have thus constructed the map $\psi$, which will allow us to produce a morphism $ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M \to M\times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y} $ whose restriction over $m_2$ gives the isomorphism announced in the Proposition. By freeness of the generic $\sM$-curve, we can choose an isomorphism $$ \rho : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M\times_XX^\sharp \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp\times_X M $$ over $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times X$ (leftmost-rightmost structure map). Let $\phi$ be the composite $$ \phi : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M\times_XX^\sharp \xrightarrow{\rho} \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp\times_X M \xrightarrow{\psi} \sN_2 \to Y $$ where the rightmost arrow is the right structure map. Consider now the pair $$\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XM\times_XX^\sharp \overset{s^*\phi}{\underset{\phi}{\rightrightarrows}} Y $$ where $s = \Delta_X \circ p_1:X^\sharp \to X^\sharp$ is the `retraction onto origin'. These induce a morphism $$ \theta = \langle \id , s^*\phi , \phi \rangle : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XM\times_XX^\sharp \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M \times_Y Y^\sharp $$ together with the map $$ [\theta]:\sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X M \to M\times_X \sF_{X,Y} $$ defined by the universal property of $\sF_{X,Y}$. Now, since $\psi$ is an extension of $\hat\psi$, there is a commutative diagram $$ \begin{CD} \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \hat M \times_X X^\sharp @>{\theta}>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \hat M \times Y^\sharp\\ @V{\id\times (p_{13} \circ e)}VV @VV{\id\times\pr_{Y^\sharp}}V \\ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp @>{\Phi_{X,Y}}>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_Y Y^\sharp \end{CD}$$ where $e:\hat M \to \hat X$ is the restriction of the structure morphism $\sM_2 \to X\times X$. Hence the restriction of $[\theta]$ to $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X\hat M$ is a pullback of the stratifying isomorphism $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X X^\sharp \to X^\sharp\times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y},$$ and in particular it is horizontal and factors through $\hat M\times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$. Since $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \hat M$ does not factor through any proper subscheme of $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M$, it follows that $[\theta]$ factors through the open subscheme $M\times_X \sE_{X,Y}\subset M\times_X \sF_{X,Y}$, through the closed subscheme $M\times_X \sC_{X,Y} \subset M\times_X \sE_{X,Y}$, and finally through the `generic locus' $M\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y} \subset M\times_X \sC_{X,Y}$. Letting $$\tau : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M \to M \times_X {\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}$$ be the map induced by the point-swapping involution on $M\subset\sM_2$, we have a pair of morphisms $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M \overset{[\theta]}{\underset{\tau[\theta]\tau}{\rightleftarrows}} M\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ such that $\tau[\theta]$ and $[\theta]\tau$ restrict to identity over $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \hat M$ and $\hat M\times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$. Hence the above morphisms are mutual inverses, and their restriction over $m_2$ gives the isomorphism announced in the Proposition, thus concluding its proof. \end{proof} \subsection{Induction and descent} We can now use Proposition \ref{pro:extension-m1} inductively to trivialise $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ along generic chains of $\sM$-curves. Under suitable conditions, the trivialisation descends generically to the base. \begin{pro}\label{pro:c-descent} Let $(X,\sM)$ and $(Y,\sN)$ be a pair of nonsingular varieties with good families such that $\dim(X)=\dim(Y)$. Suppose that $X$ is simply-connected, of Picard number $1$. Let $\xi$ be the generic point of $X\times X$. Then there is a natural isomorphism $$\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \xi\to \xi\times_X{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}} $$ horizontal over $\xi$. \end{pro} We will need the following bit of commutative algebra. \begin{lem}\label{lem:separable-closure} Let $L/K$ be a finitely generated field extension, and $K^{s,L}$ the separable algebraic closure of $K$ in $L$. Then the following is an equaliser diagram: $$ K^{s,L} \to L \rightrightarrows \widehat{L\otimes_KL} $$ where we complete at the diagonal ideal. \end{lem} \begin{proof} Let $K'\subset L$ be the equaliser of $L\rightrightarrows\widehat{L\otimes_KL}$. We first observe that the claim is true in the following cases: \begin{enumerate} \item $L/K$ purely transcendental: then $L\otimes_KL \to \widehat{L\otimes_KL}$ is injective, so that $K'=K$. \item $L/K$ purely inseparable: then $L\otimes_KL$ is Artinian, hence already complete, and we argue as above. \item $L/K$ separable algebraic: then $L\otimes_KL$ is a product of finitely many copies of $L$, so that the diagonal ideal is idempotent and $K'=L$. \end{enumerate} In the general case, by (2) we can assume that $L/K$ is separably generated, so that there is an intermediate extension $K \subset L_0 \subset L$ such that $L/L_0$ is separable algebraic and $L_0/K$ purely transcendental. Suppose $x \in K'$. Since $K'$ is invariant under the Galois group of $L/L_0$, the conjugates of $x$ are also contained in $K'$. It follows that the coefficients of the minimal polynomial of $x$ in $L_0$ are contained in $K' \cap L_0$, and thus in $K$ by (1). Hence $x$ is separable algebraic over $K$, and thus $K' \subset K^{s,L}$. The converse follows by (3). \end{proof} \begin{proof}[Proof of Proposition \ref{pro:c-descent}.] Let $m_2^i$ the generic point of $\sM_2^{i,\free}$. By Lemma \ref{lem:free-stuff}, $m_2^{i+1} \in m_2^i\times_X m_2$, so that Proposition \ref{pro:extension-m1} and induction on $i$ gives a horizontal isomorphism $$ \theta^i : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X m_2^i \to m_2^i\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ over $m_2^i$. By Lemma \ref{lem:free-chains} we can choose $i$ such that $m_2^i$ maps to $\xi\in X\times X$. By horizontality of $\theta^i$, the pullbacks $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X (m_2^i / \xi)^\sharp \rightrightarrows \sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ of $\pr_{\sC^\circ_{X,Y}}\circ \theta^i$ by $(m_2^i / \xi)^\sharp \rightrightarrows m_2^i$ coincide. Hence, by Lemma \ref{lem:separable-closure}, $\theta^i$ descends to a morphism $$ \bar\theta : \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \tilde\xi \to \tilde\xi\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ where $\tilde\xi$ is the spectrum of the separable algebraic closure of $\kappa(\xi)$ in $\kappa(m_2^i)$. Being an algebraic subextension of a finitely generated extension, $\kappa(\tilde\xi)/\kappa(\xi)$ is finite. Horizontality and invertibility of $\bar\theta$ follows from that of $\theta^i$ by descent. To show that $\bar\theta$ is in fact defined over $\kappa(\xi)$, we first consider a geometric generic point $\bar\zeta$ of $X\times\sM_0$ and the corresponding rational curve $$f : \PP^1_{\bar\zeta} \to \bar\zeta\times X \to X\times X.$$ \begin{lem}\label{lem:c-curves} Let $W\subset f^*\tilde\xi$ be a connected component. Then $f^*\bar\theta:\sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X W \to W\times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ descends along $W \to f^*\xi$. \end{lem} \begin{proof} Let $\bar\vartheta = \pr_2\circ \bar\theta:\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X\tilde\xi\to\sC^\circ_{X,Y}$. Recall that in the Proof of Proposition \ref{pro:extension-m1} we have actually constructed an isomorphism $ \theta : \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X M \to M\times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ horizontal over $M = \Spec \OO_{\sM_2,\tilde m_1}$, where $\tilde m_1$ is the image of $m_1$ under the zero-section $\sM_1 \to \sM_2$. Consider the diagram with Cartesian squares $$\begin{CD} \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X (X \backslash \tilde\xi)^\sharp \times_{X\times X} \hat M @>>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X (X \backslash \tilde\xi)^2 \times_{X\times X} M @>{\Theta}>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_XM\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\\ @VVV @VVV @VVV\\ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X (X\backslash \tilde\xi)^\sharp @>>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X (X\backslash \tilde\xi)^2 @>{\bar\vartheta\times\bar\vartheta}>> \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times\sC^\circ_{X,Y} \end{CD}$$ The left square is induced by the natural inclusion $(X\backslash\tilde\xi)^\sharp \to (X\backslash\tilde\xi)^2$. By horizontality, the top horizontal composite factors through the graph of $\theta$. Identify $\PP^1_{\bar\zeta}$ and $\PP^1_{\bar\zeta}\times_{\bar\zeta}\PP^1_{\bar\zeta}$ with, respectively, $\bar\zeta \times_{\sM_0}\sM_1$ and $\bar\zeta\times_{\sM_0}\sM_2$. Consider $M_{\bar\zeta} = \bar\zeta\times_{\sM_0}M$ as a subscheme of $\PP^1_{\bar\zeta}\times_{\bar\zeta}\PP^1_{\bar\zeta}$. The curve $f$ is identified with the natural morphism $\bar\zeta\times_{\sM_0}\sM_1 \to X \times X$ induced by $\bar\zeta\to X$ and $\sM_1 \to X$. Let $W \subset f^*\tilde\xi$ be an irreducible component. Pulling back the top row of the above diagram, we have that the composite $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X (W/\bar\zeta)^\sharp \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_{X} ( W / \bar\zeta )^2 \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times \sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ factors through the pullback of the diagram of $\theta$ by $(W/\bar\zeta)^\sharp \to M_{\bar\zeta}$. Hence so does the right arrow itself, and in particular the restriction $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X (W/\PP^1_{\bar\zeta})^2 \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times\sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ factors through the diagonal. Hence $f^*\bar\vartheta:\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times W \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ descends along $W \to f^*\xi$, and so does $f^*\bar\theta$. \end{proof} Continuing the proof of the Proposition, fix a separable closure $\kappa(\bar\xi^s)$ of $\kappa(\xi)$. The Galois group $\Gal(\bar\xi^s/\xi)$ acts on the set $E$ of isomorphisms $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X \bar\xi^s\to\bar\xi^s\times_X\sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ horizontal over $\bar\xi^s$. By the first part of the proof, there is an element $\bar\theta \in E$ whose stabiliser in $\Gal(\bar\xi^s/\xi)$ is of finite index. Letting $\eta \simeq \bar\zeta\otimes k(t)$ be the generic point of $\PP^1_{\bar\zeta}$, we have an extension $\kappa(\eta)/\kappa(\xi)$. We can lift it to $\kappa(\bar\eta^s)/\kappa(\bar\xi^s)$ where $\bar\eta^s$ is a separable closure of $\eta$. It then follows by Lemma \ref{lem:c-curves} that the stabiliser of $\bar\theta$ in $\Gal(\bar\xi^s/\xi)$ contains the image of $\Gal(\bar\eta^s/\eta)$. Let $\Gamma \to X\times X$ be a normal Galois cover corresponding to the stabiliser of $\bar\theta$, so that $\bar\theta$ is defined over the generic point of $\Gamma$, and $f^*\Gamma$ is trivial by the previous paragraph. We want to show that $\Gamma$ itself is trivial. Since $X$ is simply-connected, it will be enough to show that $\Gamma \to X\times X$ is \'etale. Assuming the opposite, we have by the classical purity theorem that it is ramified over a divisor $D \subset X\times X$. Since the problem is symmetric under the transposition on $X\times X$, we can assume that $D$ is not a pullback of a divisor from the first factor. Since $X$ has Picard number $1$, the pullback $f^*D$ is positive, and there is a lift $\tilde f : \PP^1_{\bar\zeta} \to \Gamma$ of $f$ intersecting the ramification divisor. It follows that $f$ is tangent to $D$ at the intersection points. But by Lemma \ref{lem:free-intersection} a generic $\sM$-curve intersects $D$ transversely, a contradiction. Hence $\Gamma$ is trivial, $\bar\theta$ is invariant under $\Gal(\bar\xi^s/\xi)$, and thus finally defined over $\xi$. \end{proof} \section{Extension} \begin{thm}\label{thm:extension} Let $(X,\sM)$ and $(Y,\sN)$ be a pair of simply-connected, nonsingular projective Fano varieties of Picard number $1$ and equal dimensions, together with good families of rational curves. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field, and $\bar c : \Spec K \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ a geometric point. Then there is an isomorphism $$ \phi : X \otimes K \to Y \otimes K $$ extending the canonical isomorphism $\bar c^*\Phi : \bar c^*X^\sharp\to\bar c^*Y^\sharp$. \end{thm} \begin{proof} By Lemma \ref{lem:free-chains}, $\sM_2^{i,\free} \to X\times X$ is dominant for some $i>0$. Let $X_K = X \otimes K$ and $Y_K = Y \otimes K$ with generic points $x_K$, $y_K$. Then, by Proposition \ref{pro:c-descent}, there is a horizontal section $$ \sigma : \eta_{X_K} \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \otimes K. $$ Its composite with projection to $Y_K$ extends to a morphism $$ \phi_0 : X_K \setminus W \to Y_K,\quad\quad \codim_{X_K}W \ge 2 $$ whose restriction to $x_K$ is formally \'etale and induces an isomorphism $x_K^* X^\sharp \times_X \hat\sM_1\simeq \phi_0|_{x_K}^* Y^\sharp\times_Y \hat\sN_1$. It follows that $\phi_0$ is dominant and generically \'etale. We will now show that it is actally \'etale on entire $X_K\setminus W$. Indeed, let $\bar\zeta$ be a geometric generic point of $\sM_1 \otimes K$. Then the generic $\sM$-curve $ f : \PP^1_\zeta \to X_K $ factors through $X_K \setminus W$ (by Lemma \ref{lem:free-intersection}), and $\phi_0 \circ f : \PP^1_\zeta \to Y_K$ is a generic $\sN$-curve (since its restriction to $\hat\PP^1_\zeta$ maps, as an unramified morphism from a formal disc, to the generic point of $\hat\sN_1$). Now, if $\phi_0$ is not \'etale, then, by the classical purity theorem, it is ramified over a divisor $D \subset Y_K$. Since $Y$ has Picard number $1$, $\phi_0\circ f$ intersects $D$. But since $\phi_0\circ f$ is free, the intersection is transverse (again by Lemma \ref{lem:free-intersection}). It then follows that $f$ does not intersect the ramification divisor in $X_K\setminus W$ -- a contradiction. Hence $\phi_0$ is \'etale. Furthermore, since $\phi_0 \circ f$ is free, it follows that the complement of the image of $\phi_0$ has codimension at least $2$ in $Y_K$ (Lemma \ref{lem:free-intersection}. It then follows by simply-connectedness of $Y_K$ that $\phi_0$ is an isomorphism onto its image. Now, since $X$ and $Y$ are Fano, we can find an integer $d>0$ such that $-dK_X$ and $-dK_Y$ are both very ample. Being an isomorphism of open subsets whose complements have codimension at least $2$, $\phi_0$ induces an isomorphism of Picard groups and of spaces of global sections for any invertible sheaf. Using the differential $d\phi_0$ to identify $\phi_0^*K_Y$ with $K_X$, we have a diagram $$\begin{diagram} \node{X_L}\arrow{s} \arrow{r,t,..}{\phi_0} \node{Y_L}\arrow{s} \\ \node{\PP H^0(X_K,\OO(-dK_X))^\vee} \arrow{=} \node{\PP H^0(Y_K,\OO(-dK_Y))^\vee} \end{diagram}$$ where the vertical arrows are the projective embeddings indced by $-dK_X$ and $-dK_Y$. Hence $\phi_0$ extends to an isomorphism $\phi:X_K\to Y_K$. It remains to check that $\phi$ is an extension of $\bar c^*\Phi$. Consider the lift of $\phi$ to a morphism $\tilde\phi$, horizontal over $\sM_2^i$ and fitting into a commutative diagram $$\begin{CD} \bar c \times_X \sM_2^i @>{\tilde\phi}>>\bar c\times_X \sM_2^i \times_X \sC_{X,Y} \\ @VVV @VVV \\ \bar c \times X @>{\phi}>> \bar c \times Y \end{CD}$$ where the left vertical arrow is induced by the right structure map $\sM_2^i\to X$. Recall that in the proof of Proposition \ref{pro:extension-m1} we have constructed an isomorphism $$ \sC^\circ_{X,Y}\times_X M \to M \times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ where $M = \Spec \OO_{\sM_2,\tilde m_1}$ and $\tilde m_1$ is the image of $m_1$ under the zero-section $\sM_1 \to \sM_2$. Note that its restriction over $\tilde m_1$ is the identity on $\sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X m_1$. By induction, we have an isomorphism $$ \tilde\theta^i: \sC^\circ_{X,Y} \times_X (X\backslash M/X)^i \to (X\backslash M/X)^i \times_X \sC^\circ_{X,Y} $$ extending $\theta^i$ of the proof of Proposition \ref{pro:c-descent}. It follows that we have a commutative diagram $$\begin{CD} \bar c \times_X m_2^i @>>> \bar c \times_X \sM_2^i \\ @VVV @V{\tilde\phi}VV \\ \bar c \times_X (X\backslash M/X)^i @>{\bar c^*\tilde\theta^i}>> \bar c\times_X\sM_2^i \times_X \sC_{X,Y} \end{CD}$$ i.e. $\tilde\phi$ and $\bar c^*\tilde\theta^i$ agree on $\bar c \times_X m_2^i$. Then, by irreducibility and reducedness of $\bar c\times_X \sM_2^{i,\free}$ (cf. Lemma \ref{lem:free-stuff}), they agree on $(X\backslash M/X)^i \subset \sM_2^i$. In particular, the composite $$ \bar c \times_X m_1 \xrightarrow{\bar c^*\langle \tilde m_1,\dots,\tilde m_1\rangle} \bar c \times_X \sM_2^i \xrightarrow{\tilde \phi} \bar c \times_X \sM_2^i \times_X \sC_{X,Y} \to \bar c\times_X \sC_{X,Y} $$ factors through the diagonal embedding $\bar c \to \bar c\times_X \sC_{X,Y}$. Since $\tilde\phi$ is a horizontal lift of $\phi$, it follows that we have a commutative diagram $$\begin{CD} (\bar c\times_X X^\sharp) \times_{X\times X}\sM_2^i @>{\tilde\phi}>> \bar c \times_X \sM_2^i \times_X \sC_{X,Y} \\ @VVV @VVV \\ \bar c\times_X X^\sharp @>{\bar c^*\Phi}>> \bar c \times Y \end{CD}$$ Since the left vertical arrow is an epimorphism of formal schemes, it follows that the composite $$ \bar c \times_X X^\sharp \to \bar c\times X \xrightarrow{\phi} \bar c \times Y $$ coincides with $\bar c^*\Phi$. \end{proof} \begin{cor}\label{cor:extension} Let $(X,\sM)$ and $(Y,\sN)$ be a pair of simply-connected, nonsingular projective Fano varieties of Picard number $1$ and equal dimensions, together with good families of rational curves. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field, and $\bar x_0:\Spec K \to X$, $\bar y_0:\Spec K \to Y$ a pair of geometric points such that there is an isomorphism $\bar x_0^*X^\sharp \simeq \bar y_0^*Y^\sharp$ identifying $\bar x_0^*X^\sharp\times_X\hat\sM_1$ with $\bar y_0^*Y^\sharp\times_Y\hat\sN_1$. Then there is an isomorphism $X \simeq Y$ identifying $\sM$ with $\sN$. \end{cor} \begin{proof} By Lemma \ref{lem:c-generic}, $\sC^\circ_{X,Y}$ is nonempty, so that there is an algebraically closed extension $L/K$ and a geometric point $\bar c : \Spec L \to \sC^\circ_{X,Y}$, inducing by Theorem \ref{thm:extension} an isomorphism $$ \phi_L : X\otimes L \to Y\otimes L $$ identifying $\hat\sM_1 \otimes L$ with $\hat\sN_1\otimes L$ and thus $\sM\otimes L$ with $\sN\otimes L$. Since $X$ and $Y$ are algebraic, there is a subalgebra $A \subset L$, of finite type over $k$, and such that $\phi_L$ is the base-change of an isomorphism $$ \phi_A : X\otimes A \to Y\otimes A $$ identifying $\sM\otimes A$ with $\sN\otimes A$. Restricting $\phi_A$ over a closed point of $\Spec A$ yields the desired isomorphism $X\simeq Y$. \end{proof} \endinput

TITLE: If $T$ is a linear transformation from $V$ to $W$, find the transformation matrix with respect to a given basis of $V$ and a given basis of $W$ QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Suppose that $T(x, y) = (2x + 3y, 2x + 5y, 3x + 4y)$. If $Bv$ is a basis of $V$ such that $Bv = \{(1, 2); (3, 1)\}$ and if $Bw$ is a basis of $W$ such that $Bw = \{(1, 2, 3); (4, 1, 2); (3, 4, 1)\}$, then what steps would I have to take to find the matrix of $T$ with respect to these bases? Please don't just give me the answer. I need to know how to get it. Thanks in advance! REPLY [0 votes]: Assume $x \in V $. Then if we call $v_1, v_2$ the basis $B_V $ we know that $x = \alpha v_1 + \beta v_2$ Then calculating $T(x) = T(\alpha v_1 + \beta v_2) = T(\alpha v_1) + T(\beta v_2) = \alpha T(v_1) + \beta T(v_2) $ Thus to calculate the image of any vector $x $ we only need the values of $T(v_1)$ and $T(v_2) $. But $T(v_1), T(v_2) $ are easily computable. Let us call them $v'_1$ and $v'_2$. Because each of the $v'$ is a vector from $W $, they can be written as a sum of the vectors from $B_W = \{w_1, w_2, w_3\} $. This yields $$\begin{cases} T(v_1) = v'_1 = a_1 w_1 + a_2 w_2 + a_3 w_3\\ T(v_2) = v'_2 = b_1 w_1 + b_2 w_2 + b_3 w_3\end{cases}$$ Now we know that a linear transformation has, in its columns, the images of the different vectors from the basis, meaning the columns of the matrix you want are precisely the images of $v_1$ and $v_2$ written in the basis $B_W $, i.e. the matrix will take the form $$\begin {bmatrix} a_1 & b_1\\ a_2 & b_2\\ a_3 & b_3\end {bmatrix} $$ All you have to do is compute those factors $a_i $ and $b_i $.

TITLE: Orderings on a space such that every initial segment has measure 0 QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Let $(\mu,X,\Sigma)$ be an atomless probability measure. Is it alway possible to find a well-ordering of $X$, $<$, such that for any $x\in X$, $Pr(\{y\mid y<x\})=0$? (Edit: I'd also be interested in an answer to the weaker claim: it is always possible to find a well-ordering such that for every $x\in X$ such that $\{y\mid y<x\}$ is measureable, $Pr(\{y\mid y<x\})=0$.) REPLY [1 votes]: Consistently no. For example, add $\omega_2$ random reals to a model of CH. In this model, there is a (Sierpinski) set $X$ of size $\omega_2 = 2^{\aleph_0}$ each one of whose uncountable subsets is non null so any well ordering of reals has an initial segment that contains exactly $\aleph_1$ points of $X$ and hence is proper and non null. On the other hand, under CH, any measure space made by pasting together the product measures on $2^{\kappa}$'s cannot be a counterexample - Since we can partition them into $\aleph_1$ null sets and put them next to each other. This doesn't rule out a ZFC counterexample. Unfortunately, I don't know any examples of atomless probability measure spaces which are essentially different from the above. By Maharam's theorem, we know that their measure algebras are essentially made of the measure algebras of $2^{\kappa}$'s but this doesn't seem to help. If we only require that the measurable initial segments be null, then once again pasting together $2^{\kappa}$ doesn't work due to inner regularity. So I don't even know if this can be consistently false.

During an interview with the Better Government Association's Andy Shaw on Wednesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel dismissed using surplus funds from tax increment financing districts to plug the budget hole for Chicago Public Schools. Members of the parent group Raise Your Hand have pointed to $867 million in unallocated TIF funds and questioned why some of that money can't be declared a surplus. CPS would then be able to use a portion of those surplus funds rather than raise property taxes for the average homeowner by $84, they've argued. In the proposed budget to be voted on Aug. 24, school officials are hoping the higher taxes will bring in an extra $150 million to help close a $712 million budget shortfall.

\begin{document} \tcversion{}{\pagestyle{empty}} \maketitle \begin{abstract} \input{abstract.tex} \end{abstract} \tcversion{}{\newpage \pagestyle{plain}\setcounter{page}{1}} \section{Introduction} \textit{Rounding} is a crucial step in the design of many approximation algorithms. Given a fractional vector satisfying some constraints, a rounding method produces an integer vector that satisfies those constraints, either exactly or approximately. \textit{Randomized rounding} \cite{RT} \cite[Chapter 5]{SW}, in which the coordinates of the fractional vector are rounded randomly and independently, produces good integer vectors for many applications. \textit{Dependent rounding} methods, in which the resulting integer vector does not have independent coordinates, are important in many scenarios where naive randomized rounding does poorly. Various techniques exist for designing dependent rounding methods (see, e.g., the surveys \cite{SriSurvey,BansalSlides}). It is common for a rounding scenario to involve two types of constraints: hard constraints, which must be satisfied exactly by the integer solution, and soft constraints, which must be approximately satisfied by the integer solution. Low-congestion multi-path routing \cite{Sri01}, max cut with given sizes of parts \cite{AS}, thin spanning trees \cite{AGMOS}, and submodular maximization under a matroid constraint \cite{CCPV,CVZFOCS} are examples of problems whose solutions involve such a rounding scenario. The hard constraint is often membership in an integer polytope that is defined using combinatorial objects (e.g., matchings or matroids). The soft constraints are usually simple linear inequalities. With randomized rounding, the independent choices lead to concentration of measure phenomena that are useful for handling soft constraints. For example, Chernoff bounds are commonly used to show that linear inequalities are approximately satisfied \cite{RT}. The past decade has seen various uses of \emph{matrix} concentration bounds (e.g., \cite{AW,RV07,Tropp11}) to show that linear matrix inequalities are approximately satisfied by random sampling or rounding. Such uses have occurred in many diverse areas: graph sparsification \cite{SS08}, compressed sensing \cite{VershyninSurvey}, statistics \cite{TroppMasked}, machine learning \cite{Recht} and numerical linear algebra \cite{Mahoney}. With dependent rounding, concentration phenomena can also occur. \emph{Pipage rounding}, \emph{swap rounding} and \emph{maximum entropy sampling} are dependent rounding techniques that have seen many important uses over the past decade \cite{Sri01,AS,GandhiKPS06,CCPV,AGMOS,CVZFOCS}. An important feature in some scenarios is that any Chernoff bound that is valid under independent randomized rounding remains valid under these dependent rounding techniques. This fact is proven by showing that the rounded solution has a \emph{negatively correlated distribution}, then appealing to the fact that Chernoff bounds remain valid under such distributions~\cite{PS97}. Unfortunately, commutativity plays a key role in proving that fact, and these arguments do not seem to extend to matrix concentration bounds, e.g., \cite{AW,Oliviera,RV07,Tropp11}. Consequently, these matrix inequalities have so far not been combined with dependent rounding. We prove the first result showing that matrix concentration bounds are usable in a dependent rounding scenario. Our technique is not based on negative correlation, but rather the fortuitous interaction between pipage rounding and various pessimistic estimators. In particular, we show that Tropp's matrix Chernoff bound \cite{Tropp11} has a pessimistic estimator that decreases monotonically under pipage rounding. As a consequence, we can extend the reach of pipage rounding from soft constraints that are linear inequalities to soft constraints that are linear matrix inequalities. Our proof uses non-trivial techniques from matrix analysis and complex analysis; in particular, we prove a new variant of Lieb's concavity theorem. \subsection{Motivation and Results} One key area where our techniques yield new results is for \emph{thin spanning trees}. These are intriguing objects in graph theory that relate to foundational topics, such as nowhere-zero flows \cite{Goddyn}, and the asymmetric traveling salesman problem \cite{AGMOS}. Given a graph $G$ on $n$ nodes, a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ is \emph{$\alpha$-thin} if, for every cut, the number of edges of $T$ crossing the cut is at most $\alpha$ times the number of edges of $G$ crossing the cut. It has been conjectured that any graph with connectivity $\connec$ has an $f(\connec)$-thin spanning tree where $f(\connec) = O(1/\connec)$. This would imply a constant factor approximation algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem~\cite{OS}. Asadpour et al.~\cite{AGMOS} give a randomized algorithm to find a spanning tree that is $O(\frac{\log n}{\connec \log \log n})$-thin. Later Chekuri et al.~\cite{CVZArxiv,CVZFOCS} gave a simpler algorithm using randomized pipage rounding or swap rounding. A \emph{spectrally-thin} spanning tree is a stronger notion that is naturally motivated by work on spectral sparsification \cite{SS08,BSS09}. A spanning tree $T$ is $\alpha$-spectrally-thin if $L_T \preceq \alpha L_G$, where $L_G$ refers to the Laplacian of $G$, and $\preceq$ to the L\"owner ordering of Hermitian matrices. In \Section{thin}, we show a result on spectrally thin trees that strongly mirrors the result of Asadpour et al. \begin{theorem}\TheoremName{specthin} There is a deterministic, polynomial-time algorithm that given any graph on $n$ nodes where every edge has effective conductance at least $\conduc$, constructs a $O(\frac{\log n}{\conduc \log \log n})$-spectrally-thin spanning subtree. \end{theorem} This spectral notion of thinness seems to be an important one, as the recent breakthrough of Marcus et al.~\cite{MSS} implies that $O(1/\kappa)$-spectrally-thin trees exist. Details of this connection are given in \Appendix{kadison}. It is unknown if similar techniques can show that $O(1/k)$-thin trees exist. The best known algorithmic construction of spectrally-thin trees is still \Theorem{specthin}. This result is a special case of a result in a more abstract geometric setting. Suppose $V = \set{v_1,\ldots,v_m}$ are unit vectors in $\ell_2^n$ for which $\sum_{i=1}^m v_i v_i \transpose$ is a multiple of the identity. Does there exist a subset $V_B = \setst{ v_i }{ i \in B }$ that is a \emph{basis} of $\bR^n$ and for which the maximum eigenvalue of $\sum_{i \in B} v_i v_i \transpose$ is small? The maximum eigenvalue is 1 if and only if $V_B$ is orthonormal, but an arbitrary $V$ need not contain an orthonormal basis. Again, the breakthrough of Marcus et al.~\cite{MSS} yields a non-constructive proof of a basis with maximum eigenvalue $O(1)$; see \Appendix{kadison}. In \Section{isotropic}, we show how to find in polynomial time a basis $V_B \subseteq V$ for which the maximum eigenvalue of $\sum_{i \in B} v_i v_i \transpose$ is $O(\log n / \log \log n)$. Previous constructive techniques \cite{AW,Oliviera,RV07,Tropp11} only provide a bound of $O(\log n)$. Our geometric result also relates to the \newterm{column subset selection} problem in numerical linear algebra \cite{BMD,Tropp09,BDM,DR} which seeks to ``approximate'' a matrix $A$ by a small subset of its columns, under various notions of approximation. Define the \newterm{stable rank} of $A$ to be the Frobenius norm divided by the spectral norm, all squared; this roughly captures the rank of $A$, ignoring negligibly small singular values. In numerical linear algebra \cite{BMD,BDM,DR}, the number of columns chosen is typically much larger than the stable rank. The operator theory community considers similar questions \cite{BT87,BT91,SSRI,Tropp09}, although the number of columns selected is typically much smaller than the stable rank. In \Section{CSS}, we show that one can efficiently select a \emph{linearly independent} set of columns of size \emph{equal} to the stable rank, while carefully controlling the maximum singular value. \subsection{Techniques} Our results are based on the pipage rounding technique \cite{AS,Sri01,GandhiKPS06,CCPV}, which has had several interesting uses in the recent literature. Deterministic and randomized forms of pipage rounding exist; our result applies to both of those, as well as to swap rounding. Typical uses of pipage rounding involve some of the following ideas. \begin{itemize} \item There are processes that iteratively move a point in a matroid base polytope towards an extreme point, while modifying only two coordinates at a time. The exchange properties of matroid bases ensure that this is possible. \item One can define a ``potential function'' on the matroid base polytope (e.g., the ad hoc functions defined in \cite{AS}, or the multilinear extension of a submodular function \cite{CCPV}) such that the function is concave or convex in directions that increase one coordinate and decrease another. \item The randomized form of pipage rounding \cite{Sri01,GandhiKPS06,CVZFOCS} outputs a matroid base whose elements are negatively correlated (more precisely, \textit{negative cylinder dependent}). This ensures that linear functions of that base satisfy the same Chernoff-type concentration bounds that are satisfied under independent rounding. \end{itemize} Our aim is to show that, for various concentration bounds, the final extreme point satisfies the same bounds that would be achieved by independent randomized rounding. For Chernoff bounds this follows from negative correlation, but for other bounds such a result was not previously known. \begin{itemize} \item Let $f$ be a monotone submodular function defined on the ground set of the matroid. When using randomized pipage rounding, does the value of $f$ at the final extreme point satisfy the same lower tail bound as when using independent rounding? Chekuri et al.~\cite{CVZArxiv} conjectured this to be true, and they proved such a result when using swap rounding. \item Let $f$ be a linear function mapping points in the matroid base polytope to symmetric matrices. When using pipage rounding, can the value of $f$ at the final extreme point be guaranteed to satisfy the same eigenvalue bounds as when using independent rounding? \end{itemize} It does not seem easy to answer these questions using negative correlation properties. We present a new approach that leads to a positive answer to both of these questions. In both cases, we can define a pessimistic estimator \cite{R} that bounds the probability that randomized rounding fails to achieve the desired concentration. We show that these pessimistic estimators are concave when one element's sampling probability is increased and another's is decreased by the same amount. Due to that concavity property, the base output by randomized pipage rounding satisfies the same concentration bounds that would be satisfied under independent randomized rounding. For the second question (matrix concentration), the pessimistic estimator can be efficiently evaluated, so deterministic pipage rounding can also be used. The concavity property of our pessimistic estimator for matrix concentration is a non-trivial fact. We establish that fact by proving a new variant of Lieb's concavity theorem \cite{Lieb}, which is a ``masterpiece of matrix analysis''~\cite{BS} with deep applications in mathematical physics and quantum information theory \cite{Carlen,Effros,NC}. Although there is much interest in the mathematical physics community on extensions and variants of Lieb's theorem, our particular variant does not seem to appear in the literature. \section{Preliminaries} \SectionName{prelim} Let $[m] = \set{1,\ldots,m}$. For a set $S \subseteq [m]$, the vector $\chi(S) \in \bR^m$ is the characteristic vector of $S$. For a vector $x \in \bR^m$ and a set $S \subseteq [m]$, the notation $x(S)$ denotes $\sum_{i \in S} x_i$. The vector $e_i$ denotes the $i\th$ standard basis vector of the finite dimensional vector space that is apparent from context. The vector $\vec{1}$ denotes a vector whose components are all ones and whose dimension is apparent from context. We will use $\bRnneg$ and $\bZnneg$ to denote the nonnegative and positive reals respectively. Let $\Sym$ denote the space of symmetric, real matrices of size $n \times n$. Let $\Psd, \Pd \subset \Sym$ respectively denote the cones of positive semidefinite and positive definite matrices. Let $\Diag \subseteq \Sym$ denote the space of $n \times n$ diagonal matrices. Let $\preceq$ denote the L\"owner partial order on symmetric matrices, i.e., $A \preceq B$ iff $B-A \in \Psd$. Similarly, $A \prec B$ iff $B-A \in \Pd$. For $A \in \Sym$, let $\lmax(A)$ and $\lmin(A)$ respectively denote the largest and smallest eigenvalues of $A$. For $B \in \Sym$, let $B^+$ denote its Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse. For $B \in \Psd$, let $B^{+/2} \in \Psd$ denote the positive semidefinite square root of $B^+$. The image of $B$ is $\image B$ and the orthogonal projection onto $\image B$ is $I_{\image B}$. The notation $\norm{\cdot}$ denotes the $\ell_2$ norm for vectors and the $\ell_2$ operator norm for matrices. If $\cD$ is a distribution, $X \sim \cD$ means that the random variable $X$ has distribution $\cD$. \section{Concavity of Pessimistic \tcskip Estimators} In this section we state the known results on pipage rounding and our concavity of pessimistic estimators technique. We then apply this technique in three scenarios, of increasing difficulty: (1) Chernoff bounds, (2) submodular functions, and (3) matrix concentration. The latter two results are new, and in particular are not known to follow using negative correlation. This pessimistic estimator for matrix concentration underlies all applications in \Section{applications}. \subsection{Pipage Rounding} Pipage rounding is a dependent rounding process originating in works of Ageev, Srinivasan and Sviridenko \cite{AS,Sri01}. Calinescu et al.\ \cite{CCPV} generalized it to a matroid setting. We now state the main results of randomized and deterministic pipage rounding; a proof sketch is given in \Appendix{pip}. Let $\mat$ be a matroid on $[m]$ and let $P \subset \bR^m$ be its base polytope. For all algorithmic applications in this paper, $\mat$ can be presented to the algorithm via an independence oracle. A function $g : P \rightarrow \bR$ is said to be \textit{concave under swaps} if \begin{equation} \EquationName{fconcave} \forall p \in P, ~\forall a,b \in [m], \quad z \mapsto g\big(p + z (e_a\kern-1pt - e_b)\kern-1pt\big) ~~\text{is concave}. \end{equation} \begin{theorem}[Randomized Pipage Rounding] \iftc{\mbox{}\\} \TheoremName{randpip} There is a randomized, polynomial-time algorithm that, given $x \in P$, outputs an extreme point $\hat{x}$ of $P$ with $\expect{\hat{x}}=x$ and such that, for any $g$ concave under swaps, $\expect{g(\hat{x})} \leq g(x)$. \end{theorem} \begin{theorem}[Deterministic Pipage Rounding] \iftc{\mbox{}\\} \TheoremName{detpip} There is a deterministic, polynomial-time algorithm that, given $x \in P$ and a value oracle for a function $g$ that is concave under swaps, outputs an extreme point $\hat{x}$ of $P$ with $g(\hat{x}) \leq g(x)$. \end{theorem} The swap rounding procedure of Chekuri et al.\ \cite{CVZArxiv,CVZFOCS} also proves \Theorem{randpip} and \Theorem{detpip}. For $x \in [0,1]^m$, let $\cD(x)$ be the product distribution on $\set{0,1}^m$ with marginals given by $x$, i.e., $\probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{X_i=1} = x_i$. Let $\cE \subseteq \set{0,1}^m$. A \newterm{pessimistic estimator} \cite{R,SrinivasanNotes} for $\cE$ is a function $g : [0,1]^m \rightarrow \bR$ that satisfies \tcversion{\begin{gather} \EquationName{PE} \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{X \in \cE} ~\leq~ g(x) \qquad\forall x \in [0,1]^m \\\nonumber \min \{ g(x \!-\! x_i e_i), g(x \!+\!(1\!-\!x_i)e_i) \} \leq g(x) ~~\forall x \!\in\! [0,1]^m , i \!\in\! [m]. \end{gather}} {\begin{gather} \EquationName{PE} \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{X \in \cE} ~\leq~ g(x) \quad\quad\qquad\forall x \in [0,1]^m \\\nonumber \min \big\{\: g(x - x_i e_i) ,\, g\big(x +(1 - x_i)e_i\big) \:\big\} ~\leq~ g(x) ~~~\forall x \in [0,1]^m,~ i \in [m]. \end{gather} } For uses of pessimistic estimators in derandomization, the function $g$ is also required to be efficiently computable. That is not required with their use in randomized pipage rounding as $g$ is not even provided as input to the algorithm. \begin{claim}[Concavity of Pessimistic Estimators]\iftc{\mbox{}\\} \ClaimName{concPE} Let $\cE \subseteq \set{0,1}^m$ and let $g$ be a function that satisfies \eqref{eq:PE} and is concave under swaps. Suppose randomized pipage rounding is started at an initial point $x_0 \in P$, and let $\hat{x}$ be the (random) extreme point of $P$ that is output. If $g(x_0) \leq \epsilon$ then $\prob{ \hat{x} \in \cE } \leq \epsilon$. Suppose deterministic pipage rounding is given oracle access to $g$ and an initial point $x_0 \in P$ with $g(x_0) < 1$. Then the extreme point $\hat{x}$ of $P$ that is output satisfies $\hat{x} \not \in \cE$. \end{claim} We omit the proof of \Claim{concPE} as it is an easy consequence of \Theorem{randpip} and \Theorem{detpip}. \subsection{Chernoff bound} Let us start with a simple result to illustrate the technique. First we state the Chernoff bound in convenient notation. We discuss only the right tail; an analogous result holds for the left tail. Fix any vector $w \in [0,1]^m$. For $t \in \bR$ and $\theta > 0$, define $g_{t,\theta} : [0,1]^m \rightarrow \bR$ by $$ g_{t,\theta}(x) ~:=~ e^{-\theta t} \cdot \expectover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ e^{\theta w \transpose X}}. $$ Let $\mu = w \transpose x$ and $\delta \geq 0$. Then \tcversion{ \begin{align}\nonumber \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ w\transpose X \geq t } &~\leq~ \inf_{\theta>0} \, g_{t,\theta}(x) \\ \EquationName{chernoffRHS} \text{and}\tcversion{\quad}{\qquad\qquad} g_{(1+\delta) \mu ,\, \ln(1+\delta)}(x) &~\leq~ \Big( \frac{e^\delta}{(1+\delta)^{1+\delta}} \Big)^\mu. \end{align} }{ \begin{equation} \EquationName{chernoffRHS} \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ w\transpose X \geq t } ~\leq~ \inf_{\theta>0} \, g_{t,\theta}(x) \qquad \text{and}\qquad g_{(1+\delta) \mu ,\, \ln(1+\delta)}(x) ~\leq~ \Big( \frac{e^\delta}{(1+\delta)^{1+\delta}} \Big)^\mu. \end{equation} } The following claim is proven in \Appendix{concavity}. \begin{claim} \ClaimName{chernoffconcave} $g_{t,\theta}$ is concave under swaps. \end{claim} Consequently, \Claim{concPE} implies the following result. \begin{corollary} If randomized pipage rounding starts at $x_0 \in P$ and outputs the extreme point $\hat{x}$ of $P$ then, $\forall w \in [0,1]^m ,\, \delta \geq 0$, \begin{equation} \EquationName{pipageChernoffRHS} \prob{ w \transpose \hat{x} \geq (1+\delta) \mu } ~\leq~ \Big( \frac{ e^\delta }{ (1+\delta)^{1+\delta} } \Big)^{\mu} \end{equation} where $\mu = w \transpose x_0$. Furthermore, if this right-hand side is strictly less than $1$, then deterministic pipage rounding outputs an extreme point $\hat{x}$ of $P$ with $w \transpose \hat{x} < (1+\delta) \mu$. \end{corollary} The key point is that the right-hand sides of \eqref{eq:chernoffRHS} and \eqref{eq:pipageChernoffRHS} are the same. Chekuri et al.~\cite{CVZArxiv} proved this fact using negative correlation of $\hat{x}$, generalizing a result of Srinivasan~\cite{Sri01}. \subsection{Submodular functions} Chekuri et al.~\cite[Theorem 1.3]{CVZArxiv} prove an analog of the Chernoff bound for concentration of submodular functions under independent rounding. They show that the same bound remains true under swap rounding~\cite[Theorem 1.4]{CVZArxiv} and ask whether it remains true under pipage rounding. Formally, let $f : \set{0,1}^m \rightarrow \bR$ be a non-negative, monotone, submodular function with marginals in $[0,1]$. The \textit{multilinear extension} of $f$ is $F : [0,1]^m \rightarrow \bR$ with $ F(x) := \expectover{X \sim \cD(x)}{f(X)} $. For $t \in \bR$ and $\theta<0$, define $g_{t,\theta} : [0,1]^m \rightarrow \bR$ by \[ g_{t,\theta}(x) ~:=~ e^{-\theta t} \cdot \expectover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ e^{\theta f(X)} }. \] The left tail bound of Chekuri et al.\ is: with $\mu = F(x) ,\, \delta \in [0,1)$, \tcversion{ \begin{align*} \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ f(X) \leq t } &~\leq~ \inf_{\theta<0} \, g_{t,\theta}(x) \\ \text{and}\tcversion{\quad}{\qquad\qquad} g_{(1-\delta) \mu ,\, \ln(1-\delta)}(x) &~\leq~ \exp( - \delta^2 \mu / 2 ). \end{align*} }{ \[ \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ f(X) \leq t } ~\leq~ \inf_{\theta<0} \, g_{t,\theta}(x) \qquad\text{and}\qquad g_{(1-\delta) \mu ,\, \ln(1-\delta)}(x) ~\leq~ \exp( - \delta^2 \mu / 2 ). \] } The following claim is proven in \Appendix{concavity}. \begin{claim} \ClaimName{submodconcave} $g_{t,\theta}$ is concave under swaps. \end{claim} \Claim{concPE} implies the following result, answering an open question of Chekuri et al.\ \cite[p. 3]{CVZArxiv}. \begin{corollary} If randomized pipage rounding starts at $x_0 \in P$ and outputs the extreme point $\hat{x}$ of $P$ then, letting $\mu = F(x_0)$, we have $ \prob{ f(\hat{x}) \leq (1-\delta) \mu } \leq \exp(-\delta^2 \mu / 2)$. \end{corollary} \noindent Chekuri et al.~\cite[p.~583]{CVZFOCS} state that this fact does not follow from negative correlation of $\hat{x}$. \subsection{Matrix Concentration} \onote{Modified} Tropp~\cite{Tropp11}, improving on Ahlswede-Winter~\cite{AW} and Oliviera~\cite{Oliviera}, proves a beautiful analog of the Chernoff bound for sums of independent random matrices. We state a simplified form here. \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{tropp} Let $M_1,\ldots,M_m \in \Psd$ satisfy $M_i \preceq R \cdot I$. For $t \in \bR$ and $\theta>0$, define $g_{t,\theta} : [0,1]^m \rightarrow \bR$ by $$ g_{t,\theta}(x) ~:=~ e^{-\theta t} \cdot \trace \exp\Big(\sum_{i=1}^m \log \expectover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ e^{\theta X_i M_i} } \Big). $$ Then, for $\mu \geq \norm{ \expectover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ \sum_i X_i M_i } }$ and $\delta \geq 0$, \tcversion{ \begin{align*} \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ \norm{\smallsum{i}{} X_i M_i} \geq t } &~\leq~ \inf_{\theta>0} \, g_{t,\theta}(x) \\ \text{and}\tcversion{\quad}{\qquad\qquad\quad} g_{(1+\delta) \mu ,\, \ln(1+\delta)}(x) &~\leq~ n \cdot \Big( \frac{e^\delta}{(1+\delta)^{1+\delta}} \Big)^{\mu/R}. \end{align*} }{ $$ \probover{X \sim \cD(x)}{ \norm{\smallsum{i}{} X_i M_i} \geq t } ~\leq~ \inf_{\theta>0} \, g_{t,\theta}(x) \qquad\text{and}\qquad g_{(1+\delta) \mu ,\, \ln(1+\delta)}(x) ~\leq~ n \cdot \Big( \frac{e^\delta}{(1+\delta)^{1+\delta}} \Big)^{\mu/R}. $$ } \end{theorem} The following is our main lemma on pessimistic estimators. The proof is in \Appendix{concavity}. \begin{lemma} \LemmaName{pipage} $g_{t,\theta}$ is concave under swaps. \end{lemma} Consequently, \Claim{concPE} implies the following result. \begin{corollary} \CorollaryName{matrixconcentration} Let $P$ be a matroid base polytope and let $x_0 \in P$. Let $M_1,\ldots,M_m \in \Psd$ satisfy $M_i \preceq R \cdot I$. Let $\mu \geq \norm{\expectover{X \sim \cD(x_0)}{\sum_i X_i M_i}}$. If randomized pipage rounding starts at $x_0$ and outputs the extreme point $\hat{x}=\chi(S)$ of $P$ then we have \begin{equation} \EquationName{matrixPE} \prob{ \norm{\smallsum{i \in S}{} M_i } \geq (1+\delta) \mu } \:\leq\: n \cdot \Big( \frac{ e^\delta }{ (1+\delta)^{1+\delta} } \Big)^{\mu/R}. \end{equation} Furthermore, if this right-hand side is strictly less than $1$, then deterministic pipage rounding outputs an extreme point $\hat{x} = \chi(S)$ of $P$ with $\norm{\sum_{i \in S} M_i} < (1+\delta) \mu$. \end{corollary} The inequalities in \Theorem{tropp} involve non-trivial matrix analysis, such as operator concavity of $\log$ and Lieb's celebrated concavity theorem \cite{Lieb}. It seems that even those results do not suffice to prove \Lemma{pipage}. To prove it, we derive a new variant of Lieb's theorem (\Theorem{liebvariant}). Lieb \cite{Lieb} proved several related concavity theorems; for us, the most relevant form is: \begin{theorem}[Lieb \cite{Lieb}] \TheoremName{lieb} Let $L, K \in \Sym$ and $C \in \Pd$. Then $z \mapsto \trace \exp\big( L + \log(C+zK) \big)$ is concave in a neighborhood of\/ $0$. \end{theorem} The main technical result of this paper is: \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{liebvariant} \label{LIEBVARIANT} Let $L \in \Sym$, $C_1, C_2 \in \Pd$ and $K_1, K_2 \in \Psd$. Then the univariate function \begin{equation} \EquationName{exploglog} z ~\mapsto~ \trace \exp\Big( L + \log( C_1 + z K_1 ) + \log( C_2 - z K_2 ) \Big) \end{equation} is concave in a neighborhood of\/ $0$. \end{theorem} There are several known approaches to proving Lieb's theorem. The simplest is Tropp's approach \cite{Tropp12}; however, his proof is based on joint convexity of quantum entropy, which is itself usually proven using Lieb's theorem. We were unable to prove \Theorem{liebvariant} using Tropp's approach. Lieb's original proof~\cite{Lieb}, which proves concavity by directly analyzing the second derivative, involves numerous delicate steps of matrix analysis. We were able to adapt this approach to prove a weaker form of \Theorem{liebvariant} that requires some additional commutativity assumptions; details are in \Appendix{lieb}. This weaker result suffices to prove \Lemma{pipage}. Epstein~\cite{Epstein} gives an elegant approach to proving Lieb's theorem using complex analysis, and in particular powerful results concerning \emph{Herglotz functions}. Our proof of \Theorem{liebvariant}, which appears in \Appendix{epstein}, is an adaptation of Epstein's approach. \medskip \noindent \tcversion{\textsc{Remark.}}{\textbf{Remark.}} Another well-known matrix concentration inequality is the Ahlswede-Winter \cite{AW} inequality, for which pessimistic estimators were studied by Wigderson and Xiao \cite{WX}. It is natural to wonder whether we could have used their pessimistic estimators instead. Unfortunately they do not seem applicable for our scenario. The issue is that the Ahlswede-Winter inequality is most effective for analyzing sums of i.i.d.\ random matrices, due to some inequalities that arise in their analysis. In our scenario, due to the way that pipage rounding works, we require non-i.i.d.\ product distributions, so it is much more convenient to base our approach on \Theorem{tropp}. \section{Applications} \SectionName{applications} \subsection{Rounding of semidefinite programs} Let $\mat$ be a matroid and let $P \subset \bR^n$ be its base polytope. Consider the spectrahedron \begin{equation} \EquationName{Qdef} Q ~:=~ P \:\intersect\: \Bigl\{\,x \in \bR^m \;:\; \sum_{i=1}^m x_i A_i \preceq B \,\Bigr\}, \end{equation} where each $A_1,\ldots,A_m, B \in \Psd$. We think of $P$ as specifying ``hard'' constraints and the semidefinite constraint as being ``soft''. \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{main} Suppose that $A_i \preceq B$ for all $i$. If randomized pipage rounding starts at $x_0 \in Q$ and outputs the extreme point $\chi(S)$ of $P$, then $ \prob{ \smallsum{i \in S}{} A_i \preceq \alpha B } \geq 1-1/n $, for some $\alpha = O( \log n / \log \log n )$. Furthermore, if deterministic pipage rounding starts at $x_0 \in Q$, then it outputs an extreme point $\chi(S)$ of $P$ with $\smallsum{i \in S}{} A_i \preceq \alpha B$. \end{theorem} This theorem is optimal with respect to $\alpha$, as discussed below. The hypothesis that $A_i \preceq B$ is a ``width'' condition that commonly arises in optimization and rounding. \begin{proof} Recall the notation defined in \Section{prelim}. Let $M_i = B^{+/2} A_i B^{+/2}$. By standard arguments, \begin{align*} \smallsum{i=1}{m} x_i A_i \preceq B &\quad\iff\quad \smallsum{i=1}{m} x_i M_i \preceq I_{\image B} \\ \text{and}\quad \smallsum{i \in S}{} A_i \preceq \alpha B &\quad\iff\quad \smallsum{i \in S}{} M_i \preceq \alpha I_{\image B}. \end{align*} We assume that $A_i \preceq B$, so $\lmax(M_i) \leq 1$. Apply \Corollary{matrixconcentration} with $\delta = 4 \log n / \log \log n$, $\mu=1$ and $R=1$. A standard calculation shows that the right-hand side of \eqref{eq:matrixPE} is less than $1/n$. \end{proof} Chekuri, Vondr\'ak and Zenklusen \cite{CVZArxiv,CVZFOCS} considered the problem of rounding a point in a matroid polytope to an extreme point, subject to additional packing constraints. Their result generalizes the low-congestion multi-path routing problem studied earlier by Srinivasan et al.~\cite{Sri01,GandhiKPS06}, but it is itself a special case of \Theorem{main} where the matrices $A_i$ and $B$ are diagonal. The factor $\alpha = O(\log n / \log \log n)$ is optimal in \Theorem{main} because it is optimal for rounding this low-congestion multi-path routing problem, and even for the congestion minimization problem \cite{LRS}. \subsection{Rounding an isotropic distribution to a \tcskip nearly orthonormal basis} \SectionName{isotropic} Let $w_1,\ldots,w_m \in \bR^n$ satisfy $\norm{w_i} = 1$ for all $i$. Let $p_1,\ldots,p_m$ be a probability distribution on these vectors such that the covariance matrix is $\sum_i p_i w_i w_i \transpose = I/n$. A random vector drawn from that distribution is said to be in \newterm{isotropic position}. \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{isotropic} There is a polynomial time algorithm (either randomized or deterministic) to compute a subset $S \subseteq [m]$ such that $\setst{ w_i }{ i \in S }$ forms a \emph{basis} of\/ $\bR^n$, and for which $ \norm{ \sum_{i \in S} w_i w_i \transpose } \leq \alpha $, where $\alpha = O(\log n / \log \log n)$. \end{theorem} As is discussed in \Appendix{kadison}, the recent breakthrough on the Kadison-Singer problem~\cite{MSS} implies the following existential result: \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{strongIsotropic} There exists $S \subseteq [m]$ such that $\setst{ w_i }{ i \in S }$ forms a basis of\/ $\bR^n$, and for which $\norm{ \sum_{i \in S} w_i w_i \transpose } = O(1)$. \end{theorem} We now prove \Theorem{isotropic} using \Theorem{main}. Let $\mat$ be the linear matroid corresponding to the vectors $\set{w_1,\ldots,w_m}$. Let $P$ be the base polytope of that linear matroid. Let $r : 2^{[m]} \rightarrow \bZnneg$ be the rank function of that matroid, i.e., $r(S) = \operatorname{dim} \big(\operatorname{span} \setst{ w_i }{ i \in S }\big)$. Then \[ P ~:=~ \setst{ x \in \bRnneg^n }{ x(J) \leq r(J) ~\forall J \subseteq [m] ~~\text{and}~~ x([m]) = r([m]) }. \] Define $A_i = w_i w_i \transpose$, $B = I$ and \[ Q ~=~ P \:\intersect\: \Bigl\{\, x \in \bR^m \,:\, \sum_i x_i A_i \preceq B \,\Bigr\}. \] Let $x = n \cdot p$. Then the following claim and the hypothesis that $\sum_i p_i w_i w_i \transpose = I/n$ show that $x \in Q$. \begin{claim} \ClaimName{pinP} $x \in P$. \end{claim} Since $\norm{w_i}=1$, we have $A_i = w_i w_i \transpose \preceq I = B$. \Theorem{main} gives an algorithm to construct an extreme point $\chi(S)$ of $P$ for which $\sum_{i \in S} A_i \preceq \alpha \cdot B$, with $\alpha = O(\log n / \log \log n)$. Since $P$ is the base polytope of $\mat$, $\setst{ w_i }{ i \in S }$ forms a basis of $\bR^n$. Finally, $ \sum_{i \in S} w_i w_i \transpose \preceq \alpha \cdot I $. This completes the proof of \Theorem{isotropic}, modulo the proof of \Claim{pinP}. In \Appendix{Psubmodular}, we show that \Theorem{isotropic} can be generalized from a decomposition of the identity into rank-one matrices $w_i w_i \transpose$ to a decomposition into matrices of arbitrary rank. The proof of \Claim{pinP} is analogous to the proof of \Claim{pinPprime}. We remark that \Theorem{strongIsotropic} is not known to have a generalization to matrices of arbitrary rank. \subsection{Thin trees} \SectionName{thin} \label{THIN} Let $G = (V,E)$ be a graph. For convenience we assume that $V = [n]$. The \newterm{cut} defined by $U \subseteq V$ is \[ \delta_G(U) \:=\: \delta(U) \:=\: \setst{ uv \in E }{ \text{ exactly one of $u$ and $v$ is in $U$}}. \] For a subgraph $T$ of $G$, let $\delta_T(U)$ denote all edges of $T$ with exactly one endpoint in $U$. \begin{definition} A subgraph $T$ of $G$ is called \newterm{$\epsilon$-thin} if $\card{ \delta_T(U) } \leq \epsilon \cdot \card{ \delta_G(U) }$ for all $U \subseteq V$. \end{definition} \begin{conjecture}[Goddyn \cite{Goddyn}] \ConjectureName{goddyn} Every graph with connectivity at least $\connec$ has an $f(\connec)$-thin spanning subtree, for some function $f$ that vanishes as $\connec$ tends to infinity. \end{conjecture} The crucial detail in this conjecture is that the function $f$ should not depend on the size of the graph. The best progress on this conjecture for general graphs is as follows. \begin{theorem}[Asadpour et al.~\cite{AGMOS}] \TheoremName{asadpour} Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and connectivity $\connec$. Then $G$ has a $O\big( \frac{\log n}{\connec \log \log n} \big)$-thin spanning subtree. Moreover, there is a randomized, polynomial time algorithm to construct such a tree. \end{theorem} Now we define spectrally-thin trees and prove an analog of this theorem. The Laplacian of $G$ is the symmetric matrix $L_G$ with rows and columns indexed by $V$ defined by \[ L_G ~:=~ \sum_{uv \in E} (e_u - e_v) (e_u - e_v) \transpose. \] \begin{definition} Let $T$ be a spanning subtree of $G$ and let $L_T$ be the Laplacian of $T$. The tree $T$ is \newterm{$\epsilon$-spectrally-thin} if $L_T \preceq \epsilon L_G $. \end{definition} Any tree that is $\epsilon$-spectrally-thin is also $\epsilon$-thin, because \[ \card{\delta_T(U)} ~=~ \chi(U) \transpose \, L_T \, \chi(U) ~\leq~ \epsilon \cdot \chi(U) \transpose \, L_G \, \chi(U) ~=~ \epsilon \cdot \card{\delta_G(U)}. \] The converse is not true. Moreover, the connectivity hypothesis in \Theorem{asadpour} does not suffice\footnote{ This result was independently observed by M.~de Carli Silva, N.~Harvey and C.~Sato, and by M. Goemans~\cite{GoemansTalk}, using slightly different examples. } to obtain a good spectrally-thin tree. The proof is in \Appendix{nospectrallythintree}. \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{nospectrallythintree} For every $n, k \geq 1$, there exists a weighted graph with $n$ vertices and connectivity $\connec$ that does not have an $o( \sqrt{n}/\connec )$-spectrally-thin spanning subtree. \end{theorem} Nevertheless, if we strengthen the connectivity lower bound to a lower bound on the effective conductances, then we have the following construction of spectrally-thin trees. For an edge $e = uv \in E$, the \newterm{effective resistance} in $G$ between $u$ and $v$ is $R_e := (e_u - e_v)\transpose L_G^+ (e_u - e_v)$. The \newterm{effective conductance} in $G$ between $u$ and $v$ is $C_e := 1/R_e$. \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{conductanceweightedtree} Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices such that $\conduc \leq C_e$ for every edge $e$. Then there is a polynomial time algorithm (either randomized or deterministic) to construct a $O\big( \frac{\log n}{\conduc \log \log n} \big)$-spectrally-thin spanning subtree of $G$. \end{theorem} \Theorem{conductanceweightedtree} follows directly from \Theorem{main}, letting $\mat$ be the graphic matroid corresponding to $G$. It also follows from \Theorem{isotropic}, as we show in \Appendix{transitive}. That viewpoint is advantageous, since \Theorem{strongIsotropic} then immediately implies \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{verythintree} Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices such that $\conduc \leq C_e$ for every edge $e$. Then $G$ has a $O( 1/\conduc )$-spectrally-thin spanning subtree. \end{theorem} We are not aware of any formal connection between \Theorem{verythintree} and \Conjecture{goddyn} or the traveling salesman problem. Although \Theorem{asadpour} and \Theorem{conductanceweightedtree} are formally incomparable, it is worth understanding their similarities and differences. Both results have a seemingly suboptimal factor of $\log n / \log \log n$. \Theorem{asadpour} requires only a connectivity lower bound, which is important in applications \cite{Goddyn,AGMOS}, but the resulting tree is thin, not spectrally-thin; also, their algorithm is randomized. \Theorem{conductanceweightedtree} requires a conductance lower bound (which is stronger than a connectivity lower bound), but the resulting tree is spectrally-thin (which is stronger than being thin); also, our algorithm can be made deterministic. The use of randomization seems quite inherent in the algorithms \cite{AGMOS,CVZFOCS} for \Theorem{asadpour}, as the thinness condition involves controlling exponentially many cuts, which seems difficult to accomplish by a deterministic, polynomial-time algorithm. The quantities $\connec$ and $\conduc$ can be related in certain classes of graphs. We say that a family of graphs has \newterm{nearly equal resistances} if there is a constant $c$ (independent of the number of vertices) such that $R_e \leq c R_f$ for all edges $e,f$. For example, any Ramanujan graph has nearly equal resistances. Edge-transitive graphs, such as hypercubes, have nearly equal (in fact, exactly equal) resistances. \begin{corollary} \CorollaryName{transitive} Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, nearly equal resistances, and connectivity $\connec$. Then there is a deterministic, polynomial time algorithm to construct a $O\big( \frac{\log n}{\connec \log \log n} \big)$-spectrally-thin tree of $G$. \end{corollary} The proof is in \Appendix{transitive}. \subsection{Column-subset selection} \SectionName{CSS} \todo{Consequences of MSS here?} Column-subset selection is an important topic in numerical linear algebra \cite{BMD,Tropp09,DR,BDM}. Similar questions are considered in operator theory \cite{BT87,BT91,SSRI,Tropp09,Youssef}. In this section we prove a non-isotropic analog of \Theorem{isotropic}, which gives a new result on column-subset selection. For a real matrix $A$, let $\norm{A}_F = \sqrt{ \trace A \transpose A }$ denote its Frobenius norm. The \newterm{stable rank} of $A$ is $\stable(A) := \norm{A}_F^2/\norm{A}^2$. \begin{theorem} \TheoremName{kashin} Let $A$ be a real matrix of size $n \times m$ whose columns are denoted $a_1,\ldots,a_m$. Suppose that $\norm{a_i} = 1 ~\,\forall i$. Then there is a deterministic, polynomial time algorithm to compute $S \subseteq [m]$ of size $\card{S} \geq \floor{ \stable(A) }$ such that $\setst{ a_i }{ i \in S }$ is linearly independent, and $\norm{ \sum_{i \in S} a_i a_i \transpose } \leq O(\log n / \log \log n)$. \end{theorem} This is optimal with respect to $\card{S}$ as it can happen that $\stable(A)=\rank(A)$, in which case $\setst{ a_i }{ i \in S }$ is linearly dependent whenever $\card{S} > \stable(A)$. We now prove \Theorem{kashin} using \Theorem{main}. Note that $\norm{A}_F^2=m$. Let $p \in \bR^m$ be the vector with $p_i = \floor{m/\norm{A}^2}/m$ for all $i$. Note that $\sum_i p_i = \floor{\stable(A)}$. We claim that $p$ can be viewed as a ``fractional set'' of linearly independent vectors of size $\floor{\stable(A)}$. Formally, for any set $T \subseteq [m]$, let $A_T$ denote the submatrix of $A$ consisting of the columns in $T$. Define the following family of sets \[ \cB ~=~ \setst{ I \subseteq [m] }{ \rank A_I=\card{I}=\floor{\stable(A)} }. \] Then $\cB$ is the base family of the linear matroid corresponding to $A$, truncated to rank $\floor{\stable(A)}$. Let $\mat$ denote that matroid and let $P$ denote its base polytope. \begin{claim} \ClaimName{CSpinP} $p \in P$. \end{claim} The proof is in \Appendix{CSS}. Given this claim, all that remains is an easy application of \Theorem{main}. Define $A_i = a_i a_i \transpose$, $B = I$ and \[ Q ~=~ P \:\intersect\: \Bigl\{\: x \in \bR^m \;:\; \sum_i x_i A_i \preceq B \:\Bigr\}. \] We have $p \in Q$ by \Claim{CSpinP} and the fact that \[ \sum_i p_i A_i ~\preceq~ \sum_i \frac{A_i}{\norm{A}^2} ~=~ \frac{A A \transpose}{\norm{A}^2} ~\preceq~ I ~=~ B. \] Note that $A_i = a_i a_i \transpose \preceq I = B$. \Theorem{main} gives a deterministic algorithm to construct an extreme point $\chi(S)$ of $P$ for which $\sum_{i \in S} A_i \preceq \alpha \cdot B$, with $\alpha = O(\log n / \log \log n)$. Since $S$ is a base of $\mat$, the set $\setst{ a_i }{ i \in S }$ has rank equal to $\card{S} = \floor{\stable(A)}$. This completes the proof of \Theorem{kashin}. \paragraph*{Acknowledgements.} N.~Harvey thanks Joel Friedman and Mohit Singh for numerous enlightening discussions.

Tips for Conscience Building Try these practices to help your child develop a healthy conscience. Remember to keep in mind your child's level of development and tailor your activities accordingly. #1 Model Empathy Model empathetic and caring behavior by treating your child with respect and kindness. #2 Listen Actively Listen closely to when your child expresses his or her feelings, particularly negative ones. #3 Spend Time Spend a lot of time with your child that is not oriented around discipline. Playtime is especially important for younger children. Chat time is important for teens. #4 Set Limits Set firm limits that focus on allowing children to experience the consequences of their mistakes. Promote responsibility. #5 Do Not Tolerate Aggression Take special care to notice any behaviors that infringe on the rights of others, even the family pet. Discuss and correct these behaviors through instruction. Keep in mind that aggression is never permissible, not for children and not for parents. #6 Teach the Golden Rule Take every opportunity to teach your child about empathy. The question to ask is "How would it feel to be in the other persons' place? What would that be like?" #7 Allow Remorse Allow and encourage children to feel remorse when they cause another person pain. Help them figure out how to make amends or repair the damage. #8 Participate in Family Tasks Promote your child's involvement in caring for the family. Let them assist with basic household tasks when you can. Establish chores when age appropriate. Help them to feel part of the "family team." #9 Choose Media with Moral Messages Make use of media that provides moral lessons. These can be books, television shows, movies, plays, etc. Discuss the stories to see that the lessons are understood.

TITLE: Torque due to magnetic field QUESTION [5 upvotes]: My textbook states That the torque $\vec{\tau}$ experienced by a current carrying loop due to a magnetic field $\vec{B}$, is given by the equation $\vec{\tau} =\vec{M} \times \vec{B}$,where $\vec{M}$ denotes the magnetic moment of the current loop=$I\vec{A}$. However, it didnt specify about what point(s) is this equation valid. The most obvious choice seems to be the Center of mass of the loop. For a uniform circular Loop, I was able to derive that this indeed holds true about the COM. However, we can extend this further for ANY random point: Say the COM is $c$ and we wish to calculate the torque of magnetic field about a point say $p$. Take a current element $I\vec{dl}$. The force experienced by this Current element is $\vec{dF}$=$I\vec{dl} \times\vec{B}$. If the position vector Of point P wrt to the COM is $\vec{r_p}$, and that of the current element is $\vec{r_c}$, Then the torque, $\vec{dT}$ about point P is $(\vec{r_c}-\vec{r_p}) \times\vec{dF}$ = $\vec{r_c}\times\vec{dF}-\vec{r_p}\times\vec{dF}$. Integrating across the entire loop, The first integral becomes $\vec{M} \times \vec{B}$, while the second becomes zero.Which seems to suggest that the torque about ANY point is the same, and is $\vec{M} \times \vec{B}$. 1) How can we prove that for any , arbitrary loop,the Torue about COM is $\vec{M} \times \vec{B}$? 2)How do we show that the second integral cancels out? In the case I described above, the second integral had a term of $\int_{\theta=0} ^ {2\pi} \cos(\theta)\mathrm d\theta$ which became zero. Apart from "symmetry" how can we prove that the integral vanishes for a general case? 3) 1) and 2) together imply whatever be the loop, the Torque due to magnetic field about every point is the same. Can we generalize this further to the torque in an electric field given by $\vec{P} \times \vec{E}?$ REPLY [4 votes]: $\overrightarrow{\tau} = \overrightarrow{M} X \overrightarrow{B}$ is valid only in uniform magnetic field. Any point can be taken as origin and torque will be same. To prove it, first of all prove it for a rectangular loop. Handling rectangular loop is easier than circular loop. You will also find that net force is zero. This means that this torque is a couple. Torque of a couple does not depend on origin. This is a direct result from rotational mechanics. Now we can argue that any loop is made up of large number of rectangular loops! We get the required result immediately! This result can be extended to $\overrightarrow{\tau} = \overrightarrow{p} X \overrightarrow{E}$ in uniform electric field.

TITLE: Where $a$ and $b$ are both constants, find the values of $a$ and $b$ QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Given $$\frac{a}{6x-1}-\frac1{3x-1}\equiv\frac{b}{(6x-1)(3x+1)}$$ Where $a$ and $b$ are both constants, find the values of $a$ and $b$ REPLY [1 votes]: Assuming you mean that the denominator for the right side is to be $3x - 1$: $$\frac{a}{6x-1}-\frac1{3x-1} = \frac{b}{(6x-1)(3x-1)}$$ $$\frac{a(3x-1)}{(6x-1)(3x-1)}-\frac{6x - 1}{(6x - 1)(3x-1)} = \frac{b}{(6x-1)(3x-1)}$$ $$ a(3x - 1) - 6x + 1 = b $$ Note that this is an identity, so it must hold for any value of $x$. Choose $x = 1/3$, which makes the $a$ term vanish: $$ a(3(1/3) - 1) - 6(1/3) + 1 = b $$ $$ -2 + 1 = b $$ $$ -1 = b $$ Now returning to the equation: $$ a(3x - 1) - 6x + 1 = b $$ $$ a(3x - 1) - 6x + 1 = -1 $$ Let $x = 1$. Then we have: $$ a(3 \cdot 1 - 1) - 6 + 1 = -1 $$ $$ 2a - 5 = -1 $$ $$ 2a = 4 $$ $$ a = 2 $$ So: $$ a = 2 $$ $$ b = -1 $$ Assuming you mean that the denominator for the left side is to be $3x + 1$: $$\frac{a}{6x-1}-\frac{1}{3x+1} = \frac{b}{(6x-1)(3x+1)}$$ $$\frac{a(3x+1)}{(6x-1)(3x + 1)}-\frac{6x - 1}{(6x - 1)(3x+1)} = \frac{b}{(6x-1)(3x+1)}$$ $$a(3x + 1) - (6x - 1) = b$$ $$a(3x + 1) - 6x + 1 = b $$ Since this is an identity, it holds for any value of $x$. Choose $x = -1/3$, because it makes the $a$ term vanish. Then we have: $$a(3 \cdot -1/3 + 1) - 6 \cdot -1/3 + 1 = b $$ $$2 + 1 = b$$ $$3 = b$$ Returning to: $$a(3x + 1) - 6x + 1 = 3 $$ Let $x=1$. Now we have: $$4a - 6 + 1 = 3$$ $$4a - 5 = 3$$ $$4a = 8$$ $$a = 2$$ So: $$ a = 2 $$ $$ b = 3 $$

Boys soccer Top 20 countdown: No. 14 Bergen Tech Coach: Nelson Ramirez Last year’s record: 15-6-3 2016 final ranking: 16 Best assets: The Knights might have the top goal-scorer in Bergen County by season’s end. Senior M Daniel Ryvkin’s 21 goals from last year is tied for the lead among all returning players from the county. “He is extremely smart with the ball,” Ramirez said. “He is one of those players that coaches say has his head on a swivel.” Ryvkin will be asked to go above and beyond again with Bergen Tech losing a pair of important scorers. Junior Carter Gwon is out 6-to-8 weeks with a back injury, while Sungjae Lee will play for Ramapo High School this fall. A season-ending ACL injury to senior defenseman Kaito Higashi only adds more adversity. The team hopes to get offensive production out of senior Alex Whang along with Eric Gulich, who may convert to striker. Senior D Corey Schultz is another strength in a big class that Ramirez is high on. “We’re bullish,” he said. “There’s no question about it. What these seniors have done is motivate us to work a little harder.” Forecast: So much of the season will come down to how well Bergen Tech can overcome the obstacles and the changes on the field. If the Knights get offensive support for Ryvkin, they can contend for the Big North Liberty title and compete on the county level. Said Ramirez, “The fact that they are smart and willing to do the work makes us OK.” 50 H.S.

TITLE: Sets whose $\epsilon$-neighborhoods have intersection of zero measure QUESTION [1 upvotes]: Does there exist a characterization of subsets of a segment such that the Lebesgue measure of its $\epsilon$-neighborhood tends to $0$ as $\epsilon\searrow 0$; bounded functions that are continuous on the complement of a set of this type? I mean either standard terminology or something which could be more convenient to work with. REPLY [1 votes]: For any bounded set $A$, the limit of Lebesgue measure of its $\epsilon$-neighborhood as $\epsilon \to 0$ gives the Lebesgue measure of the closure $\overline{A}$. This is because the intersection of $\epsilon$-neighborhoods is the closure, and the measure is continuous on decreasing sequences of sets of finite measure. Therefore, the first condition amounts to $m(\overline{A})=0$. The second condition can be rephrased as: bounded functions that are continuous on an open set of full measure. This property implies Riemann integrabiity, but is not equivalent to it (Thomae's function is Riemann integrable despite having a dense set of discontinuities).

This first clip, from the old British Pathé newsreel, shows a canoe and kayak racing in Ausburg, Germany from 1957. British Pathe stopped producing in 1970 but until that time covered a wide range of clips in brief segments, giving the latest of news updates to everyone who might not enough reading the newspaper. Sometimes these clips would play before movies at the cinema, and later they made it to TV. The first event shown is apparently the Double-scull Canadian Canoe race.What exactly is the difference between canoe slalom and kayaking? I wondered the same thing, especially because the Olympic category for the sport includes both canoe and kayak sections.. The difference is small: in the canoe the paddler uses a single bladed paddle and kneels. In a kayak the paddler sits and uses and double ended paddle. Still this leads to two very different competitions, even if some may not be able to recognize the difference. Check out the second clip (it's in German, so be aware of that) to see a more thorough look at this 1957 competition! It's pretty cool to see just what this sport was like just a decade or so after the war ended, and before it developed into the Olympic sport it is today.

TITLE: Can a term be its own coefficent in algebra? QUESTION [3 upvotes]: I have a question in my math book; it asks me to find the coefficient of $b$ in the expression $3a+b+2c$. I thought, well, there is no coefficient of $b$, so I went on and then I wanted to go see if I was right at the back off the book and it says that $b$ counts as its own coefficient and I don't get it. Help explain it to me please; I`m so stuck. Thanks! REPLY [3 votes]: It is an important basic fact that no matter what number $b$ is, $1b = b$. So when you're asking about the "coefficient" of a certain term in a polynomial, and there isn't one written out explicitly, it makes the most sense to say that it is $1$. If your book says otherwise, I recommend that you get a different book. Please let us know what book it is, so we can be sure not to use it.

Bob Black takes on another Leftist sacred cow: democracy. As he astutely points out, everyone interested in attaining/seizing and maintaining power is a democrat -- at least by their own reckoning. Researching the relevant literature of philosophy and political science, Black finds plenty of objections to institutionalized mob rule and the chaos which naturally follows, but he finds almost nothing written in its defense, merely its glorification. From the likes of Kim Jong Un to David Graeber, everybody claims to be in favor of democracy; since Everyone now accepts it as an inevitable feature of modern political life, there's no need to justify it. But democracy is not like gravity.

\section{Introduction} State estimation algorithms either compute a single state, a probability distribution of the state, or bound the set of possible states by sets. In stochastic approaches, measurement and process noises are modeled by provided statistical distributions (e.g., Gaussian \cite{conf:kfintro}). On the other hand, set-based approaches assume noises to be unknown but bounded by known bounds. Safety-critical applications require guarantees on the state estimation during operation -- such guarantees can be provided by the set-based approaches. Also, set-based approaches are traditionally used in fault detection by generating an adaptive threshold to check the consistency of the measurements with the estimated output set \cite{conf:intervalVSset-membership,conf:set_fault1,conf:faultcombastel1,conf:set_fault3,conf:actuator_fault,conf:fdi}. Among the family of set-based approaches, interval-based and set-membership observers have been introduced separately \cite{conf:intervalVSset-membership}. We focus in the subsequent literature survey on both approaches. \footnotetext{\href{https://github.com/aalanwar/Distributed-Set-Based-Observers-Using-Diffusion-Strategy}{https://github.com/aalanwar/Distributed-Set-Based-Observers-Using-Diffusion-Strategy}} \textbf{Interval-based observers:} These observers obtain possible sets of states by combining the model and the measurements through the observer gain \cite{conf:comparison} in order to bound state estimates by upper and lower bounds, which are obtained for instance from differential equations as in \cite{conf:interval1,conf:interval3}. Related work in \cite{conf:interval2asym} designs an exponentially stable interval observer for a two-dimensional time-invariant linear system. The aforementioned work is extended for arbitrary finite dimension in \cite{conf:interval4}. The previous works on linear systems have been extended to nonlinear systems in \cite{conf:interval7,conf:interval8}. Another observer was proposed based on Muller’s theorem for nonlinear uncertain systems in \cite{conf:interval6bioreactor}. Also, authors in \cite{conf:h_inf} introduces $H_\infty$ design into interval estimation. Interval observers for uncertain biological systems are proposed in \cite{conf:interval5bio}. By merging optimal and robust observer gain designs, a zonotopic Kalman Filter is proposed in \cite{conf:combastelzonotopes2}. \textbf{Set-membership-based observers:} Unlike interval observers, which are based on observer gain derivation, set-membership-based observers intersect the set of states consistent with the model and the set consistent with the measurements to obtain the corrected state set \cite{conf:intervalVSset-membership}. One early example of set-membership-based observers is a recursive algorithm bounding the state by ellipsoids \cite{conf:1968}. Another early example based on normalized least-mean-squares (NLMS) is presented in \cite{conf:setmem4LMS}. A set-membership state estimation algorithm based on DC-programming is proposed in \cite{conf:setmem1dcprogramming}. Authors in \cite{conf:set_mem_discriptor} considers linear time-varying descriptor systems for set-membership estimation. Set-memberships observers for nonlinear models are investigated in \cite{conf:setmem5,conf:setmem6,conf:setmem7,conf:setmem8,conf:set-mem-event}. They are also used in applications such as underwater robotics \cite{conf:setmem2water}, a leader following consensus problem in networked multi-agent systems \cite{conf:setmem3eventleader} and localization \cite{conf:setloc}. Authors in \cite{conf:disevent} consider a class of discrete time-varying system with an event-based communication mechanism over sensor networks. Interconnected multi-rate system is considered in \cite{conf:intermulti}. Set-membership with affine-projection is considered in \cite{conf:affineset}. Finally, nonlinear kernel adaptive filtering is proposed in \cite{conf:nonlinearset}. Different set representations have been used in set-based estimation, e.g, ellipsoids \cite{conf:ellipsoide,conf:set-ellipsoida,conf:dis_ellip_multirate}, orthotopes, and polytopes \cite{conf:orthotope,conf:polytope}. Zonotopes \cite{conf:zonotope_rep} are a special class of polytopes for which one can efficiently compute linear maps and Minkowski sums -- both are important operations for set-membership-based observers. A state bounding observer based on zonotopes is introduced in \cite{conf:zono1_Combastel}. Set-membership for discrete-time piecewise affine systems using zonotopes is studied in \cite{conf:zono2piecewise}. Another work considers discrete-time descriptor systems in \cite{conf:zono_18pages}. Set-based estimation of uncertain discrete-time systems using zonotopes is proposed also in \cite{conf:zono4}. \textbf{Contributions:} We propose distributed set-based estimators, where a set of nodes is required to collectively estimate the set of possible states of a linear dynamical system in a distributed fashion. In traditional distributed set-based estimation, every node in a sensor-network receives the estimates based on its measurements only; then, the node intersects its set with the estimated sets of its neighbors \cite{conf:dis-interconnected,conf:dis-kalmaninspired,conf:dis-partial}. However, we propose to let every node shares its measurements with its neighbor for faster convergence. We also supplement our newly proposed observers with a set-based diffusion step, which intersects the shared state sets. Unlike prior efforts, we propose a new zonotopes intersection technique in the diffusion step, which reduces the over-approximation of the intersection results. We use the term \textit{diffusion} since our intersection formula resembles the traditional diffusion step in stochastic Kalman filter. In set-based estimation, the center of the set is considered as a single point estimate. We show that our diffusion step enhances the single point estimate and decreases the volume of the estimated sets. One main problem in distributed set-based estimation is the misalignment between the estimated sets by the distributed nodes, which would result in disagreements on fault detection results between nodes. This problem is usually solved by consensus methods \cite{conf:dis-consRR,conf:dis-cons2008,conf:dis-cons2013}. However, traditional consensus methods require the sensor network to perform several iterations before arriving at a consensus, which causes great overhead in set-based estimation. Our set-based diffusion step can be seen as lightweight approach to achieve partial consensus. One only obtains a partial consensus using our algorithms because every node has different neighbors with different measurements; thus, the resulting sets do not fully agree. More specifically, we make the following contributions: \begin{itemize} \item We propose two distributed set-membership and interval-based algorithms combined with a new technique for intersection of zonotopes which is exploited in the proposed set-based diffusion step. \item We provide closed-forms for our parameter-finding optimization problems to realize faster execution times. \end{itemize} The rest of the paper is organized as follows: System model and preliminaries are in Section \ref{sec:sysmodel}. In Section \ref{sec:setmem}, we present the distributed set-membership diffusion observer as our first algorithm. Our second solution is the distributed interval-based diffusion observer which is introduced in Section \ref{sec:berger}. Both algorithms are evaluated in Section \ref{sec:eval}. Finally, we conclude the paper in Section \ref{sec:conc}.

This obviously implies that there is no symplectic desingularization. \end{abstract} \maketitle \section{Introduction} Let $X$ be a complex projective K3 surface with polarization $H=\cO_X(1)$ generic in the sense of \cite{ogrady} \S0. Let $M(r,c_1,c_2)$ be the moduli space of rank $r$ $H$-semistable torsion-free sheaves on $X$ with Chern classes $(c_1,c_2)$ in $H^*(X,\zz)$. Let $M^s(r,c_1,c_2)$ be the open subscheme of $H$-stable sheaves in $M(r,c_1,c_2)$. In \cite{Muk84}, Mukai shows that $M^s(r,c_1,c_2)$ is smooth and has a holomorphic symplectic structure. By \cite{Gi77}, if either $(c_1.H)$ or $c_2$ is an odd number, then $M(2,c_1,c_2)$ is equal to $M^s(2,c_1,c_2) $ and thus $M(2,c_1,c_2)$ is a smooth projective irreducible symplectic variety. However if both $(c_1.H)$ and $c_2$ are even numbers then generally $M(2,c_1,c_2)$ admits singularities. We restrict our interest to the trivial determinant case i.e. $c_1=0$ and let $M_c=M(2,0,c)$ where $c=2n$ ($n\geq2$). It is well-known that $M_{2n}$ is an irreducible, normal (\cite{Yo01} Theorem 3.18) and projective variety (\cite{HL97} Theorem 4.3.4) of dimension $8n-6$ (\cite{Muk84} Theorem 0.1) with only Gorenstein singularities (\cite{HL97} Theorem 4.5.8, \cite{Ei95} Corollary 21.19). Since $M_{2n}$ contains the smooth open subset $M^s_{2n}$, there arises a natural question: does there exist a resolution of $M_{2n}$ such that the Mukai form on $M^s_{2n}$ extends to the resolution without degeneration? When $c=4$, O'Grady successfully extends the Mukai form on $M^s_{2n}$ to some resolution without degeneration (\cite{og97, ogrady}). At the same time, he conjectures nonexistence of a symplectic desingularization of $M_{2n}$ for $n\ge 3$ (\cite{ogrady}, (0.1)). Our main result in this paper is the following. \begin{theorem} \label{thm:main result} If $n\geq3$, there is no crepant resolution of $M_{2n}$. \end{theorem} The highest exterior power of a symplectic form gives a non-vanishing section of the canonical sheaf on $M_{2n}$. Likewise any symplectic desingularization of $M_{2n}$ has trivial canonical divisor and hence it must be a crepant resolution. Therefore, O'Grady's conjecture is a consequence of Theorem \ref{thm:main result}. \begin{corollary} \label{cor:O'Grady's conjecture} If $n\geq3$, there is no symplectic desingularization of $M_{2n}$. \end{corollary} The idea of the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:main result} is to use a new invariant called the stringy E-function \cite{Bat98, DL99}. Since $M_{2n}$ is normal irreducible variety with log terminal singularities (\cite{ogrady}, 6.1), the stringy E-function of $M_{2n}$ is a well-defined rational function. If there is a crepant resolution $\tM_{2n}$ of $M_{2n}$, then the stringy E-function of $M_{2n}$ is equal to the Hodge-Deligne polynomial (E-polynomial) of $\tM_{2n}$ (Theorem \ref{thm:Batyrev's result}). In particular, we deduce that the stringy E-function $E_{st}(M_{2n};u,v)$ must be a polynomial. Therefore, Theorem \ref{thm:main result} is a consequence of the following. \begin{proposition}\label{prop:stringy E-function test} The stringy E-function $E_{st}(M_{2n};u,v)$ is not a polynomial for $n\geq3$. \end{proposition} To prove that $E_{st}(M_{2n};u,v)$ is not a polynomial for $n\geq 3$, we show that $E_{st}(M_{2n};z,z)$ is not a polynomial in $z$. Thanks to the detailed analysis of Kirwan's desingularization in \cite{og97} and \cite{ogrady} which is reviewed in section 4, we can find an expression for $E_{st}(M_{2n};z,z)$ and then with some efforts on the combinatorics of rational functions we show that $E_{st}(M_{2n};z,z)$ is not a polynomial in section 3. In section 2, we recall basic facts on stringy E-function and in section 5 we prove a lemma which computes the E-polynomial of a divisor. In \cite{ogrady}, O'Grady gets a symplectic desingularization $\tM_{2n}$ of $M_{2n}$ in the case when $n=2$. This turns out to be a new irreducible symplectic variety, which means that it does not come from a generalized Kummer variety nor from a Hilbert scheme parameterizing 0-dimensional subschemes on a K3 surface \cite{og98, Bea83}. Corollary \ref{cor:O'Grady's conjecture} shows that unfortunately we cannot find any more irreducible symplectic variety in this way. After we finished the first draft of this paper, we learned that Kaledin and Lehn \cite{KL04} proved Corollary \ref{cor:O'Grady's conjecture} in a completely different way. We are grateful to D. Kaledin for informing us of their approach. The second named author thanks Professor Jun Li for useful discussions concerning the article \cite{VW94}. Finally we would like to express our gratitude to the referee for careful reading and challenging us for many details which led us to improve the manuscript and correct an error in Proposition 3.2. \section{Preliminaries} In this section we collect some facts that we shall use later. For a topological space $V$, the Poincar\'e polynomial of $V$ is defined as \begin{equation} \label{eqn:Poincare polynomial} P(V;z)=\sum_{i}(-1)^ib_i(V)z^i \end{equation} where $b_i(V)$ is the $i$-th Betti number of $V$. It is well-known from \cite{Go90} that the Betti numbers of the Hilbert scheme of points $X^{[n]}$ in $X$ are given by the following: \begin{equation}\label{eqn:Betti for X[n]} \sum_{n\geq 0}P(X^{[n]};z)t^n=\prod_{k\geq1} \prod_{i=0}^{4}(1-z^{2k-2+i}t^k)^{(-1)^{i+1}b_i(X)}. \end{equation} Next we recall the definition and basic facts about stringy E-functions from \cite{Bat98,DL99}. Let $W$ be a normal irreducible variety with at worst log-terminal singularities, i.e. \begin{enumerate} \item W is $\qq$-Gorenstein; \item for a resolution of singularities $\rho: V\to W$ such that the exceptional locus of $\rho$ is a divisor $D$ whose irreducible components $D_1,\cdots,D_r$ are smooth divisors with only normal crossings, we have \[K_V=\rho^*K_W+\sum^r_{i=1} a_iD_i \] with $a_i>-1$ for all $i$, where $D_i$ runs over all irreducible components of $D$. The divisor $\sum^r_{i=1}a_iD_i$ is called the \textit{discrepancy divisor}. \end{enumerate} For each subset $J\subset I=\{1,2,\cdots,r\}$, define $D_J=\cap_{j\in J}D_j$, $D_\emptyset=V$ and $D^0_J=D_J-\cup_{i\in I-J}D_i$. Then the stringy E-function of $W$ is defined by \begin{equation} \label{eqn:stringy E-function} E_{st}(W;u,v)=\sum_{J\subset I}E(D^0_J;u,v)\prod_{j\in J}\frac{uv-1}{(uv)^{a_j+1}-1} \end{equation} where \[ E(Z;u,v) = \sum_{p,q}\sum_{k\geq 0} (-1)^kh^{p,q}(H^k_c(Z;\cc))u^pv^q \] is the Hodge-Deligne polynomial for a variety $Z$. Note that the Hodge-Deligne polynomials have \begin{enumerate} \item the additive property: $E(Z;u,v)=E(U;u,v)+E(Z-U;u,v)$ if $U$ is a smooth open subvariety of $Z$; \item the multiplicative property: $E(Z;u,v)=E(B;u,v)E(F;u,v)$ if $Z$ is a Zariski locally trivial $F$-bundle over $B$. \end{enumerate} By \cite{Bat98} Theorem 6.27, the function $E_{st}$ is independent of the choice of a resolution (Theorem 3.4 in \cite{Bat98}) and the following holds. \begin{theorem} \label{thm:Batyrev's result} (\cite{Bat98} Theorem 3.12) Suppose $W$ is a $\qq$-Gorenstein algebraic variety with at worst log-terminal singularities. If $\rho:V\to W$ is a crepant desingularization (i.e. $\rho^*K_W=K_V$) then $E_{st}(W;u,v)=E(V;u,v)$. In particular, $E_{st}(W;u,v)$ is a polynomial. \end{theorem} \section{Proof of Proposition \ref{prop:stringy E-function test}} In this section we first find an expression for the stringy E-function of the moduli space $M_{2n}$ for $n\geq 3$ by using the detailed analysis of Kirwan's desingularization in \cite{og97, ogrady}. Then we show that it cannot be a polynomial, which proves Proposition \ref{prop:stringy E-function test}. We fix a generic polarization of $X$ as in \cite{ogrady}. The moduli space $M_{2n}$ has a stratification \[M_{2n}=M^s_{2n}\sqcup (\Sigma-\Omega)\sqcup \Omega\] where $M^s_{2n}$ is the locus of stable sheaves and $\Sigma\simeq(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]})/{\rm involution}$ is the locus of sheaves of the form $I_Z\oplus I_{Z'}$ ($[Z],[Z']\in X^{[n]}$) while $\Omega\simeq X^{[n]}$ is the locus of sheaves $I_Z\oplus I_{Z}$. For $n\geq 3$, Kirwan's desingularization $\rho:\hM_{2n}\to M_{2n}$ is obtained by blowing up $M_{2n}$ first along $\Omega$, next along the proper transform of $\Sigma$ and finally along the proper transform of a subvariety $\Delta$ in the exceptional divisor of the first blow-up. This is indeed a desingularization by \cite{ogrady} Proposition 1.8.3. Let $D_1=\hat{\Omega}$, $D_2=\hat{\Sigma}$ and $D_3=\hat{\Delta}$ be the (proper transforms of the) exceptional divisors of the three blow-ups. Then they are smooth divisors with only normal crossings as we will see in Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc} and the discrepancy divisor of $\rho:\hM_{2n}\to M_{2n}$ is (\cite{ogrady}, 6.1) \[(6n-7)D_1+(2n-4)D_2+(4n-6)D_3. \] Therefore the singularities are log-terminal for $n\geq 2$, and from (\ref{eqn:stringy E-function}) the stringy E-function of $M_{2n}$ is given by \begin{eqnarray}\label{eqn:stringy E-function of M_c} E(M^s_{2n};u,v)+E(D^0_1;u,v){\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{6n-6}}} +E(D^0_2;u,v){\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}}\nonumber \\ +E(D^0_3;u,v) {\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{4n-5}}} +E(D^0_{12};u,v){\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{6n-6}}\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}} \\ +E(D^0_{23};u,v){\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{4n-5}}} +E(D^0_{13};u,v){\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{4n-5}}\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{6n-6}}} \nonumber \\ +E(D^0_{123};u,v){\textstyle\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{6n-6}} \frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}\frac{1-uv}{1-(uv)^{4n-5}}} .\nonumber \end{eqnarray} We need to compute the Hodge-Deligne polynomials of $D^0_J$ for $J\subset \{1,2,3\}$. Let $(\cc^{2n},\omega)$ be a symplectic vector space. Let $\Gr^{\omega}(k,2n)$ be the Grassmannian of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\cc^{2n}$, isotropic with respect to the symplectic form $\omega$ (i.e. the restriction of $\omega$ to the subspace is zero). \begin{lemma}\label{lem:Hodge poly of Gr} For $k\leq n$, the Hodge-Deligne polynomial of $\Gr^\omega(k,2n)$ is \[\prod_{1\leq i\leq k} \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-2k+2i}}{1-(uv)^i}. \] \end{lemma} \proof Consider the incidence variety \[ Z= \{(a,b)\in \Gr^\omega(k-1,2n)\times \Gr^\omega(k,2n)|a\subset b\}. \] This is a $\pp^{2n-2k+1}$-bundle over $\Gr^\omega(k-1,2n)$ and a $\pp^{k-1}$-bundle over $\Gr^\omega(k,2n)$. We have the following equalities between Hodge-Deligne polynomials: \begin{eqnarray*} E(Z;u,v)&=&\frac{1-(uv)^{2n-2k+2}}{1-uv} E(\Gr^\omega(k-1,2n);u,v)\\ &=& \frac{1-(uv)^{k}}{1-uv} E(\Gr^\omega(k,2n);u,v). \end{eqnarray*} The desired formula follows recursively from $\Gr^\omega(1,2n)=\pp^{2n-1}$. \qed\\ Let $\hat{\pp}^5$ be the blow-up of $\pp^5$ (projectivization of the space of $3\times 3$ symmetric matrices) along $\pp^2$ (the locus of rank 1 matrices). We have the following from \cite{og97} and \cite{ogrady}. The proof will be presented in \S\ref{sec: Proof of Lemma}. \begin{proposition}\label{prop:analysis on exc} Let $n\geq 3$. (1) $D_1$ is a $\hat{\pp}^5$-bundle over a $\Gr^\omega(3,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. (2) $D_2^0$ is a free $\zz_2$-quotient of a Zariski locally trivial $I_{2n-3}$-bundle over $ X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}-\mathbf{\Delta} $ where $\mathbf{\Delta}$ is the diagonal in $ X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}$ and $I_{2n-3}$ is the incidence variety given by \[ I_{2n-3}=\{(p,H)\in \pp^{2n-3}\times \breve{\pp}^{2n-3}| p\in H\}. \] (3) $D_3$ is a $\pp^{2n-4}$-bundle over a Zariski locally trivial $ \pp^2$-bundle over a Zariski locally trivial $\Gr^\omega(2,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. (4) $D_{12}$ is a $\pp^2$-bundle over a $\pp^2$-bundle over a $\Gr^\omega(3,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. (5) $D_{23}$ is a $\pp^{2n-4}$-bundle over a $ \pp^1$-bundle over a $\Gr^\omega(2,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. (6) $D_{13}$ is a $ \pp^2$-bundle over a $\pp^2$-bundle over a $\Gr^\omega(3,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. (7) $D_{123}$ is a $\pp^1$-bundle over a $\pp^2$-bundle over a $\Gr^\omega(3,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. \\ All the above bundles except in (2) and (3) are Zariski locally trivial. Moreover, $D_i$ ($i=1,2,3$) are smooth divisors such that $D_1\cup D_2\cup D_3$ is normal crossing. \end{proposition} From Lemma \ref{lem:Hodge poly of Gr} and Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc}, we have the following corollary by the additive and multiplicative properties of the Hodge-Deligne polynomial. \begin{corollary}\label{eqn:computation of stringy E-function} $$ E(D_1;u,v) = \Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^6}{1-uv}-\!\frac{1-(uv)^3}{1-uv}+\!\bigl(\frac{1-(uv)^3}{1-uv}\bigr)^2}\Bigr) \! \times\!\!\! \prod_{1\leq i\leq 3}\! \Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-6+2i}}{1-(uv)^i}}\Bigr)\!\! \times\! E(X^{[n]};u,v),$$ $$E(D_3;u,v) = {\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}{1-uv}\cdot\frac{1-(uv)^3}{1-uv}} \times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-4+2i}} {1-(uv)^i}}\Bigr)\times E(X^{[n]};u,v), $$ $$ E(D_{12};u,v) = \Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^3}{1-uv}}\Bigr)^2\times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 3}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-6+2i}}{1-(uv)^i}}\Bigr) \times E(X^{[n]};u,v), $$ $$ E(D_{23};u,v) = {\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}{1-uv}\cdot\frac{1-(uv)^2}{1-uv}} \times\prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-4+2i}}{1-(uv)^i}}\Bigr)\times E(X^{[n]};u,v), $$ $$E(D_{13};u,v) = {\textstyle \frac{ 1-(uv)^3}{1-uv}\cdot\frac{1-(uv)^{2n-4}}{1-uv}} \times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-4+2i}}{1-(uv)^i}}\Bigr)\times E(X^{[n]};u,v), $$ $$ E(D^0_{123};u,v) ={\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^2}{1-uv}\cdot\frac{1-(uv)^{2n-4}}{1-uv}}\times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-4+2i}}{1-(uv)^i}}\Bigr)\times E(X^{[n]};u,v).$$ \end{corollary} \proof Perhaps the only part that requires proof is the equation for $E(D_3;u,v)$. From Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc} (3), $D_3$ is a projective variety which is a $\pp^{2n-4}$-bundle over a smooth projective variety, say $Y$, whose E-polynomial is $$E(\pp^2;u,v)\times E(\mathrm{Gr}^\omega (2,2n);u,v)\times E(X^{[n]};u,v).$$ By the Leray-Hirsch theorem (\cite{V02I} p.182), we have \begin{eqnarray*}H^*(D_3;\cc)\cong H^*(Y;\cc)\otimes H^*(\pp^{2n-4};\cc)\cong H^*(Y;\cc)\otimes \cc [\lambda]/(\lambda^{2n-3})\\ \cong H^*(Y;\cc)\oplus H^*(Y;\cc)\lambda\oplus \cdots \oplus H^*(Y;\cc)\lambda^{2n-4}\end{eqnarray*} where $\lambda$ is a class of type $(1,1)$ which comes from the K\"ahler class. The above determines the Hodge structure of $D_3$ because the Hodge structure is compatible with the cup product. Therefore we deduce that $$ E(D_3;u,v) = {\textstyle \frac{1-(uv)^{2n-3}}{1-uv}\times E(Y;u,v)}. $$ \qed For the E-polynomial of $D_2^0$ we have the following lemma whose proof is presented in section \ref{sec: Computation of E-poly of D_0^2}. Recall that $$I_{2n-3}=\{((x_i),(y_j))\in \pp^{2n-3}\times \pp^{2n-3}\,|\, \sum_{i=0}^{2n-3} x_iy_i=0\}$$ and there is an action of $\zz_2$ which interchanges $(x_i)$ and $(y_j)$. Let $H^r(I_{2n-3})^+$ denote the $\zz_2$-invariant subspace of $H^r(I_{2n-3})$ . \begin{lemma}\label{lem: Hodge Deligne poly of D02} \begin{eqnarray}\label{eqn: compute D02} \lefteqn{ E(D^0_2;z,z)=P(I_{2n-3};z) \Bigl( \frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2-P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2 \Bigr)} && \\ && + P^+(I_{2n-3};z)\bigl(P(X^{[n]};z^2)-P(X^{[n]};z) \bigr)\nonumber \end{eqnarray} where $P^+(I_{2n-3};z)=\displaystyle \sum_{r\geq0}(-1)^rz^r\dim H^r(I_{2n-3})^+$. Moreover \begin{eqnarray}\label{eqn: E D02 is divisible by some Q} E(D^0_2;z,z)=\frac{1-(z^2)^{2n-3}}{1-z^2} Q(z^2)\end{eqnarray} for some polynomial $Q$. \end{lemma} \textit{Proof of Proposition \ref{prop:stringy E-function test}.} Let us prove that \eqref{eqn:stringy E-function of M_c} cannot be a polynomial. Let $$S(z)=E_{st}(M_{2n};z,z)-E(M^s_{2n};z,z).$$ It suffices to show that $S(z)$ is not a polynomial for all $n\geq3$ because $E(M^s_{2n};z,z)$ is a polynomial. Note that given any $n\geq 3$, we can explicitly compute $E(X^{[n]};z,z)$ and $E(D^0_2;z,z)$ by (\ref{eqn:Betti for X[n]}) and Lemma \ref{lem: Hodge Deligne poly of D02}. If $n=3$, direct calculation shows that $S(z)$ is as follows: \begin{eqnarray*} S(z)& =& 1+46z^2+852z^4+12308z^6+111641z^8+886629z^{10}+4233151z^{12}\\ & & +4990239z^{14}+4999261z^{16}+4230852z^{18}+884441z^{20}+113877z^{22}\\ & & +12928z^{24}+3749z^{26}+3200z^{28}+2877z^{30}+299z^{32}+\cdots. \end{eqnarray*} It is easy to see from (\ref{eqn:stringy E-function of M_c}) and Corollary \ref{eqn:computation of stringy E-function} that if $S(z)$ were a polynomial, it should be of degree $\le 30$. Since the series $S(z)$ has a nonzero coefficient of $z^{32}$, $S(z)$ cannot be a polynomial. So we assume from now on that $n\ge 4$. Express the rational function $S(z)$ as $$\frac{N(z)}{(1-(z^2)^{2n-3})(1-(z^2)^{4n-5})(1-(z^2)^{6n-6})}.$$ All we need to show is that the numerator $N(z)$ is not divisible by the denominator $(1-(z^2)^{2n-3})(1-(z^2)^{4n-5})(1-(z^2)^{6n-6})$. As $E(X^{[n]};z,z)$ and $E(D^0_2;z,z)$ do not have nonzero terms of odd degree by (\ref{eqn:Betti for X[n]}) and Lemma \ref{lem: Hodge Deligne poly of D02}, all the nonzero terms in $S(z)$ are of even degree by (\ref{eqn:stringy E-function of M_c}) and Corollary \ref{eqn:computation of stringy E-function}. Hence, we can write $S(z)=s(z^2)=s(t)$ for some rational function $s(t)$ in $t=z^2$. The numerator $N(z)=n(z^2)=n(t)$ is not divisible by $1-(z^2)^{2n-3}$ if and only if $n(t)$ is not divisible by $1-t^{2n-3}$. By direct computation using (\ref{eqn:stringy E-function of M_c}), Corollary \ref{eqn:computation of stringy E-function} and Lemma \ref{lem: Hodge Deligne poly of D02}, $n(t)$ modulo $1-t^{2n-3}$ is congruent to \begin{eqnarray}\label{eqn:denumerator modulo} \shoveleft(1-t)^2(1-t^{4n-5})\times\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-t^3}{1-t}}\Bigr)^2\times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 3}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-6+2i}}{1-t^i}}\Bigr) \times p(X^{[n]};t) \\ -(1-t)^2(1-t^{4n-5})\times {\textstyle \frac{1-t^2}{1-t}\cdot\frac{1-t^{2n-4}}{1-t}}\times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-4+2i}}{1-t^i}}\Bigr) \times p(X^{[n]};t) \nonumber \\ -(1-t)^2(1-t^{6n-6})\times {\textstyle \frac{1-t^2}{1-t}\cdot\frac{1-t^{2n-4}}{1-t}}\times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-4+2i}}{1-t^i}}\Bigr) \times p(X^{[n]};t) \nonumber \\ + (1-t)^3\times{\textstyle \frac{1-t^2}{1-t} \cdot\frac{1-t^{2n-4}}{1-t}}\times \prod_{1\leq i\leq 2}\Bigl({\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-4+2i}}{1-t^i}}\Bigr)\times p(X^{[n]};t) \nonumber \end{eqnarray} where $p(X^{[n]};t)=P(X^{[n]};z)$ with $t=z^2$. We write (\ref{eqn:denumerator modulo}) as a product $\bar s(t)\cdot p(X^{[n]};t)$ for some polynomial $\bar s(t)$. For the proof of our claim for $n\geq 4$, it suffices to prove the following: \begin{enumerate} \item if $n$ is not divisible by 3, then $1-t$ is the GCD of $1-t^{2n-3}$ and $\bar s(t)$, and $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}$ does not divide $p(X^{[n]};t)$; \item if $n$ is divisible by 3, then $1-t^3$ is the GCD of $1-t^{2n-3}$ and $\bar s(t)$, and $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}$ does not divide $p(X^{[n]};t)$. \end{enumerate} For (1), suppose $n$ is not divisible by 3. From (\ref{eqn:denumerator modulo}), $\bar s(t)$ is divisible by $1-t$. We claim that $\bar s(t)$ is not divisible by any irreducible factor of $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}$, i.e. for any root $\alpha$ of $1-t^{2n-3}$ which is not 1, $\bar s(\alpha)\neq 0$. Using the relation $\alpha^{2n-3}=1$, we compute directly that \begin{equation}\label{eqn:bar s} \bar s(\alpha)={\textstyle -\frac{\alpha(1-\alpha^{-1}){(1-\alpha^3)}^2}{1+\alpha}}, \end{equation} which is not 0 because 3 does not divide $2n-3$. Next we check that $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}$ does not divide $p(X^{[n]};t)$. We put $${\displaystyle p(X^{[n]};t)=\sum_{0\leq i\leq 2n} c_it^i}$$ and write $p(X^{[n]};t)$ as follows: \begin{eqnarray} \label{eqn:p(t) when 3 NOT divides n} \lefteqn{ \sum_{0\leq i\leq 2n} c_it^i = (c_0+c_{2n-3})+(c_1+c_{2n-2})t+(c_2+c_{2n-1})t^2 +(c_3+c_{2n})t^3 } \\ & & + \sum_{4\leq i\leq 2n-4} c_it^i + c_{2n-3}(t^{2n-3}-1) + c_{2n-2}t(t^{2n-3}-1)\nonumber \\ & & + c_{2n-1}t^2(t^{2n-3}-1)+ c_{2n}t^3(t^{2n-3}-1).\nonumber \end{eqnarray} Therefore, the divisibility of $p(X^{[n]};t)$ by $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}$ is that of $(c_0+c_{2n-3})+ (c_1+c_{2n-2})t+ (c_2+c_{2n-1})t^2 +(c_3+c_{2n})t^3 + {\displaystyle \sum_{4\leq i\leq 2n-4} c_it^i}$ by $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}$. Since $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}={\displaystyle \sum_{0\leq i\leq 2n-4} t^i}$, the polynomial $(c_0+c_{2n-3})+ (c_1+c_{2n-2})t+ (c_2+c_{2n-1})t^2 +(c_3+c_{2n})t^3 + {\displaystyle \sum_{4\leq i\leq 2n-4} c_it^i}$ is divisible by $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t}$ if and only if it is a scalar multiple of ${\displaystyle \sum_{0\leq i\leq 2n-4} t^i}$, i.e. $c_0+c_{2n-3}=c_1+c_{2n-2}= c_2+c_{2n-1}=c_3+c_{2n}= c_4=\cdots =c_{2n-4}$ ($n\geq 4$). Table \ref{table:list of ci} is the list of $c_i$ ($1\leq i\leq 4$) for $n\geq 3$, which comes from direct computation using the generating functions (\ref{eqn:Betti for X[n]}) for the Betti numbers of $X^{[n]}$. By Table \ref{table:list of ci}, we can check that this is impossible. Indeed, for $n\geq 6$, $c_0=1$, $c_1=23$, $c_2=300$ and $c_3=2876$, which implies $c_{2n-3}=2876$, $c_{2n-2}=300$, $c_{2n-1}=23$ and $c_{2n-2}=1$ by Poincar\'{e} duality. Thus $c_0+c_{2n-3}=2877$ while $c_1+c_{2n-2}=323$. For $4\leq n\leq 5$, the proof is also direct computation using Table \ref{table:list of ci}. \begin{table}[t] \begin{tabular}{c|cccccc} &$n=3$& $n=4$ & $n=5$& $n=6$& $n=7$&$n\geq 8$ \\ \hline $c_1$ & 23 & 23 & 23 & 23 & 23 & 23 \\ $c_2$ & 299 & 300 & 300 &300 &300 &300 \\ $c_3$ & 2554& 2852 & 2875 & 2876 &2876 &2876 \\ $c_4$ & 299 & 19298 &22127 &22426 &22449 &22450 \end{tabular}\caption{list of $c_i$ \label{table:list of ci}} \end{table} For (2), suppose 3 divides $n$ and $n\neq 3$. Then from (\ref{eqn:bar s}), $(1-t^3)$ divides $\bar s(t)$. More precisely, for a third root of unity $\alpha$, $\bar s(\alpha)=0$. On the other hand, if $\alpha$ is a root of $1-t^{2n-3}$ but not a third root of unity then we can observe that $\bar s(\alpha)\neq 0$ by (\ref{eqn:bar s}). Therefore, since every root of $1-t^{2n-3}$ is a simple root, any irreducible factor of $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}$ does not divide $\bar s(t)$. We next check that the polynomial $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}$ does not divide $p(X^{[n]};t)$. Write $p(X^{[n]};t)=\displaystyle \sum_{0\leq i\leq 2n} c_it^i$ as follows: \begin{eqnarray}\label{eqn:p(t) when 3 divides n} \lefteqn{\sum_{0\leq i\leq 2n} c_it^i = (c_0+c_{2n-3})+(c_1+c_{2n-2})t+(c_2+c_{2n-1})t^2 +(c_3+c_{2n})t^3} \\ & & + \sum_{4\leq i\leq 2n-6} c_it^i - c_{2n-5} \Bigl(\sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-9}3} t^{3i+1} \Bigr)- c_{2n-4} \Bigl( \sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-9}3} t^{3i+2}\Bigr) \nonumber \\ & & + c_{2n-5}t\cdot{\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}} + c_{2n-4}t^2\cdot{\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}} + c_{2n-3}(t^{2n-3}-1) \nonumber \\ & & + c_{2n-2}t(t^{2n-3}-1) + c_{2n-1}t^2(t^{2n-3}-1)+ c_{2n}t^3(t^{2n-3}-1) \nonumber \end{eqnarray} where the equality comes from \begin{eqnarray*} t^{2n-5} = -\sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-9}3} t^{3i+1} +t\cdot{\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}}\ \ {\rm and}\ \ t^{2n-4} = -\sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-9}3} t^{3i+2} + t^2\cdot{\textstyle \frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}} \end{eqnarray*} since $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}=\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-6}3}t^{3i}$. Therefore, $p(X^{[n]};t)$ modulo $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}$ is congruent to \begin{eqnarray*} \lefteqn{R(t)=(c_0+c_{2n-3})+(c_1+c_{2n-2})t+(c_2+c_{2n-1})t^2 +(c_3+c_{2n})t^3} \\ & & + \displaystyle\sum_{4\leq i\leq 2n-6} c_it^i - c_{2n-5} \Bigl(\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-9}3} t^{3i+1} \Bigr)- c_{2n-4} \Bigl( \displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-9}3} t^{3i+2}\Bigr).\end{eqnarray*} Now $R(t)$ is divisible by $\frac{1-t^{2n-3}}{1-t^3}=\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-6}3}t^{3i}$ if and only if $R(t)$ is a scalar multiple of $\displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^{\frac{2n-6}3}t^{3i}$ because $R(t)$ is of degree $\le 2n-6$. Thus the coefficient of $R(t)$ with respect to $t^2$ should be 0 i.e. $c_2+c_{2n-1}-c_{2n-4}=0$. However, $c_2+c_{2n-1}-c_{2n-4}=c_2+c_1-c_4$ is not zero by Table \ref{table:list of ci}. This proves Proposition \ref{prop:stringy E-function test} for the case where 3 divides $n$ and $n\neq 3$. So the proof of Proposition \ref{prop:stringy E-function test} is completed for any $n\geq 3$. \qed\\ \begin{remark} In case of smooth projective curves, we remark that the stringy E-function of the moduli space of rank 2 bundles is explicitly computed (\cite{kiem} and \cite{KL}). We were not able to compute the stringy E-function of $M_{2n}$ precisely, because we do not know how to compute the Hodge-Deligne polynomial $E(M^s_{2n};u,v)$ of the locus $M^s_{2n}$ of stable sheaves. \end{remark} \section{Analysis of Kirwan's desingularization} \label{sec: Proof of Lemma} This section is devoted to the proof of Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc}. All can be extracted from \cite{og97} but we spell out the details for reader's convenience. To begin with, note that for each $Z\in X^{[n]}$, the tangent space $T_{X^{[n]},Z}$ of the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ is canonically isomorphic to $\Ext^1(I_Z,I_Z)$ where $I_Z$ is the ideal sheaf of the 0-dimensional closed subscheme $Z$. By the Yoneda pairing map and Serre duality, we have a skew-symmetric pairing $\omega:\Ext^1(I_Z,I_Z)\otimes \Ext^1(I_Z,I_Z) \to \Ext^2(I_Z,I_Z)\cong \cc$, which gives us a symplectic form $\omega$ on the tangent bundle $T_{X^{[n]}}$ by \cite{Muk84} Theorem 0.1. Note that the Killing form on $sl(2)$ gives an isomorphism $sl(2)^\vee\cong sl(2)$. Let $W=sl(2)^\vee\cong sl(2)\cong \cc^3$. The adjoint action of $PGL(2)$ on $W$ gives us an identification $SO(W)\cong PGL(2)$ (\cite{og97} \S1.5). For a symplectic vector space $(V,\omega)$, let $\Hom^\omega(W,V)$ be the space of homomorphisms from $W$ to $V$ whose image is isotropic. Let $\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}}) $ be the bundle over $X^{[n]}$ whose fiber over $Z\in X^{[n]}$ is $\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]},Z})$. Clearly $\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ is Zariski locally trivial over $X^{[n]}$. Let $\Hom_k^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ be the subbundle of $\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ of rank $\leq k$ elements in $\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$. Also let $\Gr^\omega(3,T_{X^{[n]}})$ be the relative Grassmannian of isotropic 3-dimensional subspaces in $T_{X^{[n]}}$ and let $\cB$ denote the tautological rank 3 bundle on $\Gr^\omega(3,T_{X^{[n]}})$. Obviously these bundles are all Zariski locally trivial as well. Let $\pp\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ (resp. $\pp\Hom_k^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$) be the projectivization of $\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ (resp. $\Hom_k^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$). Likewise, let $\pp\Hom(W,\cB)$ and $\pp\Hom_k(W,\cB)$ denote the projectivizations of the bundles $\Hom(W,\cB)$ and $\Hom_k(W,\cB)$. Note that there are obvious forgetful maps \begin{eqnarray*}f:\pp\Hom(W,\cB)\to\pp\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\ \mbox{\rm and}\\ f_k:\pp\Hom_k(W,\cB)\to\pp\Hom_k^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\end{eqnarray*} Since the pull-back of the defining ideal of $\pp\Hom_1^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ is the ideal of $\pp\Hom_1(W,\cB)$ (both are actually given by the determinants of $2\times 2$ minor matrices), $f$ gives rise to a map between blow-ups $$\overline{f}:Bl_{\pp\Hom_1(W,\cB)}\pp\Hom(W,\cB)\to Bl_{\pp\Hom_1^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})}\pp\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}}).$$ Let us denote $Bl_{\pp\Hom_1(W,\cB)}\pp\Hom(W,\cB)$ by $Bl^\cB$ and $Bl_{\pp\Hom_1^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})}\pp\Hom^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ by $Bl^T$. We denote the proper transform of $\pp\Hom_2(W,\cB)$ in $Bl^\cB$ by $Bl_2^\cB$ and the proper transform of $\pp\Hom_2^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ by $Bl_2^T$. Since $Bl_2^\cB$ is a Cartier divisor which is mapped onto $Bl_2^T$ and the pull-back of the defining ideal of $Bl_2^T$ is the ideal sheaf of $Bl_2^\cB$, $\overline{f}$ lifts to \begin{equation}\label{eq4.-2} \hat{f}:Bl^\cB \to Bl_{Bl_2^T}Bl^T.\end{equation} By \cite{og97} \S3.1 IV, $\hat f$ is an isomorphism on each fiber over $X^{[n]}$, so in particular $\hat f$ is bijective. Therefore, $\hat f$ is an isomorphism by Zariski's main theorem. Note that $\pp\Hom(W,\cB)\git SO(W)$ (resp. $\pp\Hom_k(W,\cB)\git SO(W)$) is isomorphic to the space of conics $\pp(S^2\cB)$ (resp. rank $\leq k$ conics $\pp(S^2_k\cB)$) where the $SO(W)$-quotient map is given by $[\alpha]\mapsto[\alpha\circ\alpha^t]$ where $\alpha^t$ denotes the transpose of $\alpha\in \Hom(W,\cB)$ (\cite{og97} \S3.1). Let $\hat \pp(S^2\cB) = Bl_{\pp(S^2_1\cB)}\pp(S^2\cB)$ denote the blow-up along the locus of rank 1 conics. Then $Bl^\cB\git SO(W)$ is canonically isomorphic to $\hat \pp(S^2\cB)$ by \cite{k2} Lemma 3.11. Since $\cB$ is Zariski locally trivial, so is $\hat \pp(S^2\cB)$ over $\Gr^\omega(3,T_{X^{[n]}})$. Now consider Simpson's construction of the moduli space $M_{2n}$ (\cite{og97} \S1.1). Let $Q$ be the closure of the set of semistable points $Q^{ss}$ in the Quot-scheme whose quotient by the natural $PGL(N)$ action is $M_{2n}$ for some even integer $N$. Then $Q^{ss}$ parameterizes semistable torsion-free sheaves $F$ together with surjective homomorphisms $h:\cO^{\oplus N}\to F(k)$ which induces an isomorphism $\cc^N\cong H^0(F(k))$ and $H^1(F(k))=0$. Let $\Omega_Q$ denote the subset of $Q^{ss}$ which parameterizes sheaves of the form $I_Z\oplus I_Z$ for some $Z\in X^{[n]}$. This is precisely the locus of closed orbits with maximal dimensional stabilizers, isomorphic to $PGL(2)$ and the quotient of $\Omega_Q$ by $PGL(N)$ is $X^{[n]}$. We can give a more precise description of $\Omega_Q$ as follows. Let $\cL\to X^{[n]}\times X$ be the universal rank 1 sheaf such that $\cL|_{Z\times X}$ is isomorphic to the ideal sheaf $I_Z$. By \cite{HL97} Theorem 10.2.1, the tangent bundle $T_{X^{[n]}}$ is in fact isomorphic to $\cE xt^1_{X^{[n]}}(\cL,\cL)$. Let $p:X^{[n]}\times X\to X^{[n]}$ be the projection onto the first component. For $k\gg 0$, $p_*\cL(k)$ is a vector bundle of rank $N/2$. Let \begin{equation}\label{eq4.-1}q:\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\to X^{[n]}\end{equation} be the $PGL(N)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$ whose fiber over $Z$ is $\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, H^0(I_Z(k)\oplus I_Z(k)))$. Note that the standard action of $GL(N)$ on $\cc^N$ and the obvious action of $GL(2)$ on $p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k)$ induce a $PGL(N)\times PGL(2)$-action on $\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\to X^{[n]}$ . \begin{lemma}\label{4.1} (1) $\Omega_Q\cong \pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\git SO(W).$\\ (2) Via the above isomorphism, the normal cone of $\Omega_Q$ in $Q^{ss}$ is $$q^*\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W)\to \pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\git SO(W)$$ whose fiber over a point lying over $Z\in X^{[n]}$ is $\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}(W,T_{X^{[n]},Z})$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (1) Let $\hat p:\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\times X\to \pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))$ be the obvious projection so that we have $q\circ \hat p=p\circ (q\times 1_X)$. Let $H$ be the dual of the tautological line bundle over $\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))$. There is a canonical isomorphism $\cO^{\oplus N}\cong q^*(p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\otimes H$. This induces a surjective homomorphism \begin{eqnarray*}\cO^{\oplus N}\to \hat{p}^*q^*(p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\otimes H =(q\times 1)^*(p^*p_*\cL(k)\oplus p^*p_*\cL(k))\otimes H\\ \to (q\times 1)^*(\cL(k)\oplus \cL(k))\otimes H\end{eqnarray*} over $\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\times X$. By the universal property of the Quot-scheme, we get a morphism $\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\to Q^{ss}$ whose image is clearly contained in $\Omega_Q$. This map is $PGL(2)$-invariant and hence we get a morphism \begin{equation}\label{eq4.00}\phi_\Omega:\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\git SO(W)\to \Omega_Q.\end{equation} It is easy to check that $\phi_\Omega$ is bijective. Since $\Omega_Q$ is smooth (\cite{og97} (1.5.1)), $\phi_\Omega$ is an isomorphism by Zariski's main theorem. (2) Let $\cO^{\oplus N} \to \cE(k)$ denote the universal quotient sheaf on $Q^{ss}\times X$ restricted to $\Omega_Q$ and let $\cF$ be the kernel of the twisted homomorphism $\cO^{\oplus N}(-k) \to \cE$ so that we have an exact sequence $$0\to \cF \to \cO^{\oplus N}(-k) \to \cE\to 0$$ over $\Omega_Q\times X$. The induced long exact sequence gives us \begin{equation}\label{eqn: rel long exact sequence} \HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cO^{\oplus N}(-k),\cE)\to \HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cF,\cE)\to \EExt^1_{\Omega_Q}(\cE,\cE)\to \EExt^1_{\Omega_Q}(\cO^{\oplus N}(-k),\cE) \end{equation} Let $\pi:\Omega_Q\times X\to \Omega_Q$ be the obvious projection. Note that $\EExt^1_{\Omega_Q}(\cO^{\oplus N}(-k),\cE)=R^1\pi_*(\cE(k))^{\oplus N}=0$ and that $\HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cO^{\oplus N}(-k),\cE)\cong \HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cO^{\oplus N},\cE(k))$ is a vector bundle over $\Omega_Q$ whose fiber is $gl(N)$ because $\cO_X^{\oplus N}\cong H^0(E(k))$ for any $[\cO_X^{\oplus N}\to E(k)]\in Q^{ss}$. Let $T^*_{Q^{ss}}, T^*_{\Omega_Q}$ be cotangent sheaves over $Q^{ss}$ and ${\Omega_Q}$ respectively. By a famous result of Grothendieck (\cite{Gr95} \S5) we know $$(T^*_{Q^{ss}}|_{\Omega_Q})^\vee\cong \HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cF,\cE)$$ which contains the tangent bundle of $\Omega_Q$ as a subbundle. So the first homomorphism in \eqref{eqn: rel long exact sequence} is the tangent map of the group action of $PGL(N)$\footnote{In fact the term prior to the first term of \eqref{eqn: rel long exact sequence} is $\HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cE,\cE)$ which contains $\cO$ obviously and the quotient of $\HHom_{\Omega_Q}(\cO^{\oplus N}(-k),\cE)$ by $\cO$ is a vector bundle whose fiber is the Lie algebra of $PGL(N)$. } on $\Omega_Q$ and the second homomorphism is the Kodaira-Spencer map. Via the isomorphism $\phi_\Omega$ \eqref{eq4.00}, we have a map $$\delta:\pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\to \pp \mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N, p_*\cL(k)\oplus p_*\cL(k))\git SO(W)\cong \Omega_Q.$$ From the proof of (1) above, the pull-back of $\cE$ by $\delta\times 1$ is isomorphic to $(q\times 1)^*(\cL(k)\oplus \cL(k))\otimes H$ and thus the vector bundle $\delta^*\cE xt^1_{\Omega_Q}(\cE,\cE)$ is isomorphic to $$q^*\cE xt^1_{X^{[n]}}(\cL, \cL)\otimes gl(2)\cong q^*T_{X^{[n]}}\otimes gl(2).$$ The pull-back of the tangent sheaf of $X^{[n]}$ sits in $q^*T_{X^{[n]}}\otimes gl(2)$ as $q^*T_{X^{[n]}}\otimes \left(\begin{matrix}1&0\\ 0&1\end{matrix}\right)$. Hence the pull-back by $\delta$ of the normal bundle of $\Omega_Q$ (in the sense of \cite{og97} \S1.3) is isomorphic to $$q^*T_{X^{[n]}}\otimes sl(2)\cong q^*\mathrm{Hom}(W,T_{X^{[n]}}).$$ By \cite{og97} (1.5.10), the normal cone is fiberwisely the same as the Hessian cone. (See \cite{og97} \S1.3 for more details on the Hessian cone.) Since the normal cone is contained in the Hessian cone, the normal cone is equal to the Hessian cone which is the inverse image of zero by the Yoneda square map $\Upsilon:\cE xt^1_{\Omega_Q}(\cE,\cE)\to \cE xt^2_{\Omega_Q}(\cE,\cE)$. It is elementary to see that $\delta^*\Upsilon^{-1}(0)$ is precisely $q^*\mathrm{Hom}^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}}).$ Since $SO(W)$ acts freely we obtain (2). See \cite{og97} (1.5.1) for a description of the normal cone at each point. \end{proof} Let $\Sigma_Q$ denote the subset of $Q^{ss}$ whose sheaves are of the form $I_Z\oplus I_W$ for some $Z,W\in X^{[n]}$. Then $\Sigma_Q-\Omega_Q$ is precisely the locus of points in $Q^{ss}$ whose stabilizer is isomorphic to $\cc^*$. Let $\pi_R:R\to Q^{ss}$ be the blow-up of $Q^{ss}$ along $\Omega_Q$ and let $\Omega_R$ denote the exceptional divisor. By the above lemma,we have \begin{equation}\label{eq4.0}\Omega_R\cong q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W).\end{equation} The following lemma is an easy exercise. \begin{lemma}\label{4.2} (1) The locus of points in $\pp\mathrm{Hom}^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]},Z})^{ss}$ whose stabilizer is 1-dimensional by the action of $SO(W)$ is precisely $\pp \mathrm{Hom}^\omega _1(W,T_{X^{[n]},Z})^{ss}$.\\ (2) The locus of nontrivial stabilizers is $\pp \mathrm{Hom}^\omega _2(W,T_{X^{[n]},Z})^{ss}$.\end{lemma} Let \begin{equation}\label{eq4.1}\Delta_R=q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_2(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W).\end{equation} Let $\Sigma_R$ be the proper transform of $\Sigma_Q$. Then $\Sigma_R^{ss}$ is precisely the locus of points in $R^{ss}$ with 1-dimensional stabilizers by \cite{k2}. Therefore we have the following from Lemma \ref{4.2}. \begin{corollary}\label{4.3} $\Sigma_R^{ss}\cap \Omega_R=q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_1(W,T_{X^{[n]}})^{ss}\git SO(W).$\end{corollary} We have an explicit description of $\Sigma_R^{ss}$ from \cite{og97} \S1.7 III as follows. Let $$\beta:\mathcal{X}^{[n]}\to X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}$$ be the blow-up along the diagonal and let $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0=X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}-\mathbf{\Delta}$ where $\mathbf{\Delta}$ is the diagonal. Let $\cL_1$ (resp. $\cL_2$) be the pull-back to $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}\times X$ of the universal sheaf $\cL\to X^{[n]}\times X$ by $p_{13}\circ (\beta\times 1)$ (resp. $p_{23}\circ (\beta\times 1)$) where $p_{ij}$ is the projection onto the first (resp. second) and third components. Let $p:\mathcal{X}^{[n]}\times X\to \mathcal{X}^{[n]}$ be the projection onto the first component. Then for $k\gg0$, $p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k)$ is a vector bundle of rank $N$. Let $$q:\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N,p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k))\to \mathcal{X}^{[n]}$$ be the $PGL(N)$-bundle. There is an action of $O(2)$ on $\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N,p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k))$. We quote \cite{og97} (1.7.10) and (1.7.1). \begin{lemma}\label{4.4} (1) $\Sigma_R^{ss}\cong\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N,p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k))\git O(2)$\\ (2) The normal cone of $\Sigma_R^{ss}$ in $R^{ss}$ is a locally trivial bundle over $\Sigma_R^{ss}$ with fiber the cone over a smooth quadric in $\pp^{4n-5}$. \end{lemma} In fact we can give a more explicit description of the normal cone when restricted to $\Sigma_R^0:=\Sigma_R^{ss}-\Omega_R$. Similarly as in the proof of Lemma \ref{4.1}, the normal vector bundle to $\Sigma_R^0$ is isomorphic to the vector bundle (of rank $4n-4$) \begin{equation}\label{eq4.2} q^*[\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\oplus \cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)]\git O(2)\end{equation} over $\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N,p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k))\git O(2)$ where $O(2)$ acts as follows: if we realize $O(2)$ as the subgroup of $PGL(2)$ generated by $$SO(2)=\{\theta_\alpha=\left(\begin{matrix}\alpha&0\\ 0&\alpha^{-1}\end{matrix}\right)\}/\{\pm Id\},\qquad \tau=\left(\begin{matrix} 0&1\\1&0\end{matrix}\right)$$ $\theta_\alpha$ multiplies $\alpha$ (resp. $\alpha^{-1}$) to $\cL_1$ (resp. $\cL_2$) and $\tau$ interchanges $\cL_1$ and $\cL_2$ by the induced action on $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}$ of interchanging the first and second factors of $X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}$. The normal cone is the inverse image $q^*\Upsilon^{-1}(0)$ of zero in terms of the Yoneda pairing \begin{equation}\label{eq4.3}\Upsilon:\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\oplus \cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)\to \cE xt^2_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_1).\end{equation} Let $\pi_S:S\to R^{ss}$ denote the blow-up of $R^{ss}$ along $\Sigma_R^{ss}$ and let $\Sigma_S$ be the exceptional divisor of $\pi_S$ while $\Omega_S$ (resp. $\Delta_S$) denotes the proper transform of $\Omega_R$ (resp. $\Delta_R$). By \eqref{eq4.3}, we have \begin{equation}\label{eq4.4} {\Sigma_S} |_{\pi_S^{-1}(\Sigma_R^0)}\cong q^*\pp \Upsilon^{-1}(0)\git O(2)\subset q^*\pp[\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\oplus \cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)]\git O(2). \end{equation} By \cite{og97} (1.8.10), $S^s=S^{ss}$ and $S^s$ is smooth. The quotient $S\git PGL(N)$ has only $\zz_2$-quotient singularities along $\Delta_S\git PGL(N)$. Let $\pi_T:T\to S^{s}$ be the blow-up of $S^{s}$ along $\Delta_S^{s}$. Then $T\git PGL(N)$ is nonsingular and this is Kirwan's desingularization $\rho:\hM_{2n}\to M_{2n}$. Let $\Omega_T$ and $\Sigma_T$ denote the proper transforms of $\Omega_S$ and $\Sigma_S$ respectively. Let $\Delta_T$ be the exceptional divisor of $\pi_T$. Their quotients $\Omega_T\git PGL(N)$, $\Sigma_T\git PGL(N)$ and $\Delta_T\git PGL(N)$ are denoted by $D_1=\hat\Omega$, $D_2=\hat\Sigma$ and $D_3=\hat\Delta$ respectively. With this preparation, we now embark on the proof of Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc}. \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (1).} This is just \cite{og97} (3.0.1). More precisely, by \eqref{eq4.0} and Corollary \ref{4.3}, $\Omega_S$ is the blow-up of $$q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W)\text{ along }q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_1(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W).$$ By \eqref{eq4.1}, $\Omega_T$ is the blow-up of $\Omega_S$ along the proper transform of $$q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_2(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W)$$ and $D_1=\hat\Omega$ is the quotient of $\Omega_T$ by the action of $PGL(N)$. Since the action of $PGL(N)$ commutes with the action of $SO(W)$, $D_1$ is in fact the quotient by $SO(W)\times PGL(N)$ of the variety obtained from $q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$ by two blow-ups. So $D_1$ is also the consequence of taking the quotient by $PGL(N)$ first and then the quotient by $SO(W)$ second. Since $q$ \eqref{eq4.-1} is a principal $PGL(N)$ bundle, the result of the first quotient is just $Bl_{Bl_2^T}Bl^T$ in \eqref{eq4.-2} which is isomorphic to $Bl^\cB$. If we take further the quotient by $SO(W)$, then as discussed above the result is $D_1=\hat\pp (S^2\cB)$. \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (2).} We use Lemma \ref{4.4}, \eqref{eq4.2}, and \eqref{eq4.4}. Note that $\Sigma_R^0$ does not intersect with $\Omega_R$ and $\Delta_R$. Hence $D_2^0$ is the quotient of $q^*\pp \Upsilon^{-1}(0)\git O(2)$ which is a subset of $q^*\pp[\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\oplus \cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)]\git O(2)$, by the action of $PGL(N)$. The above are bundles over the restriction of $$\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N,p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k))\git O(2)$$ to the complement $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0$ of the diagonal $\mathbf{\Delta}$ in $X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}$. As in the proof of (1), observe that $D_2^0$ is in fact the quotient of $q^*\pp\Upsilon^{-1}(0)$ by the action of $PGL(N)\times O(2)$ since the actions commute. So we can first take the quotient by the action of $PGL(N)$, then by the action of $SO(2)$, and finally by the action of $\zz_2=O(2)/SO(2)$. Since $\pp\mathrm{Isom}(\cc^N,p_*\cL_1(k)\oplus p_*\cL_2(k))$ is a principal $PGL(N)$-bundle, the quotient by $PGL(N)$ gives us $$\pp\Upsilon^{-1}(0)\subset \pp[\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\oplus \cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)]$$ over $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0$. The algebraic vector bundles $\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)$ and $\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)$ are certainly Zariski locally trivial and in fact these bundles are dual to each other by the Yoneda pairing $\Upsilon$ which is non-degenerate (possibly after tensoring with a line bundle). In particular, $\Upsilon^{-1}(0)$ is Zariski locally trivial. Next we take the quotient by the action of $SO(2)\cong \cc^*$. This action is trivial on the base $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0$ and $SO(2)$ acts on the fibers. Hence $\pp\Upsilon^{-1}(0)/SO(2)$ is a Zariski locally trivial subbundle of $$\pp[\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\oplus \cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)]\git \cc^*\cong \pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\times_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0} \pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)$$ over $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0$ given by the incidence relations in terms of the identification $$\pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\cong \pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)^\vee.$$ Finally, $D_2^0$ is the $\zz_2$-quotient of $\pp\Upsilon^{-1}(0)/SO(2)$. \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (3).} By \cite{og97} (1.7.10), the intersection of $\Sigma_R^{ss}$ and $\Omega_R$ is smooth. By Corollary \ref{4.3}, $\Delta_S$ is the blow-up of $q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_2(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W)$ along $q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_1(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W)$. Hence $\Delta_S\git PGL(N)$ is the quotient of $$ Bl_{q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_1 (W,T_{X^{[n]}})}q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_2(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$$ by the action of $SO(W)\times PGL(N)$. By taking the quotient by the action of $PGL(N)$ we get $$ Bl_{ \pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_1 (W,T_{X^{[n]}})} \pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_2(W,T_{X^{[n]}})$$since $q$ is a principal $PGL(N)$-bundle. Next we take the quotient by the action of $SO(W)$. Let $\mathrm{Gr}^\omega(2,T_{X^{[n]}})$ be the relative Grassmannian of isotropic 2-dimensional subspaces in $T_{X^{[n]}}$ and let $\mathcal A$ be the tautological rank 2 bundle on $\mathrm{Gr}^\omega(2,T_{X^{[n]}})$. We claim \begin{equation}\label{}Bl_{\pp \Hom_1^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})} {\pp \Hom_2^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})}\git SO(W)\simeq \pp(S^2\cA) \end{equation} which is a $\pp^{2}$-bundle over a $\Gr^\omega (2,2n)$-bundle over $X^{[n]}$. It is obvious that the bundles are Zariski locally trivial. There are forgetful maps \begin{eqnarray*}f:\pp\Hom(W,\cA)\to \pp\Hom_2^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}}) \\ f_1:\pp\Hom_1(W,\cA)\to \pp\Hom_1^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}}) \end{eqnarray*} where the subscript 1 denotes the locus of rank $\leq1$ homomorphisms. Because the ideal of $\pp\Hom^\omega_1(W,T_{[n]})$ pulls back to the ideal of $\pp\Hom_1(W,\cA)$, $f$ lifts to $$ \hat f:Bl_{\pp\Hom_1(W,\cA)} \pp\Hom(W,\cA)\to Bl_{\pp\Hom_1^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})} {\pp\Hom_2^\omega(W,T_{X^{[n]}})}$$ This map is bijective (\cite{og97} (3.5.1)) and hence $\hat f$ is an isomorphism by Zariski's main theorem because the varieties are smooth. Now observe that the quotient $\pp\Hom(W,\cA)\git SO(W)$ is $\pp(S^2\cA)$ where the quotient map is given by $[\alpha]\mapsto [\alpha\circ\alpha^t]$. Hence $\Delta_S\git PGL(N) $ is the blow-up of $\pp\Hom(W,\cA)\git SO(W)\cong\pp(S^2\cA)$ along the locus of rank 1 quadratic forms $\pp(S^2_1\cA)$ (\cite{k2} Lemma 3.11) which is a Cartier divisor. So we proved that $$ \Delta_S\git PGL(N)\cong \pp(S^2\cA).$$ Finally $S\git PGL(N)$ is singular only along $\Delta_S\git PGL(N)$ and the singularities are $\cc^{2n-3}/\{\pm 1\}$ by Luna's slice theorem \cite{og97} (1.2.1). Since $D_3$ is the exceptional divisor of the blow-up of $S\git PGL(N)$ along $\Delta_S\git PGL(N)$, we conclude that $D_3$ is a $\pp^{2n-4}$-bundle over $\pp (S^2\mathcal A)$. \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (4).} By Corollary \ref{4.3}, $\Sigma_S^s\cap\Omega_S$ is the exceptional divisor of the blow-up $Bl_{q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_1(W,T_{X^{[n]}})}q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W) $ and $\Sigma_T^s\cap \Omega_T$ is now the blow-up of the exceptional divisor along the proper transform of $q^*\pp\mathrm{Hom}^{\omega}_2(W,T_{X^{[n]}})\git SO(W)$. Using the isomorphism \eqref{eq4.-2}, this is the exceptional divisor of $$q^*Bl_{\pp (S^2_1\cB)}\pp (S^2\cB)\to q^*\pp (S^2\cB)$$ over $\mathrm{Gr}^\omega(3,T_{X^{[n]}})$. Since $q$ is a principal $PGL(N)$-bundle, $D_1\cap D_2=\Sigma_T^s\cap \Omega_T\git PGL(N)$ is the exceptional divisor of the blow-up $Bl_{\pp (S^2_1\cB)}\pp (S^2\cB)$. Because the exceptional divisor is a Zariski locally trivial $\pp^2 $-bundle over $\pp (S^2_1\cB)$ and $\pp (S^2_1\cB)$ itself is a Zariski locally trivial $\pp^2$-bundle over $\mathrm{Gr}^\omega(3,T_{X^{[n]}})$, we proved (4). \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (5).} From the above proof of (3) it follows immediately that $\Sigma_S^s\cap \Delta_S\git PGL(N)$ is $\pp (S^2_1\cA)$ and $D_2\cap D_3$ is a $\pp^{2n-4}$ bundle over $\pp (S^2_1\cA)$ which is Zariski locally trivial. \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (6).} As in the above proof of (4), we start with \eqref{eq4.1} and use the isomorphism \eqref{eq4.-2} to see that $D_1\cap D_3$ is the proper transform of $\pp (S^2_2\cB)$ in the blow-up $Bl_{\pp (S^2_1\cB)}\pp (S^2\cB)$. This is a Zariski locally trivial $\pp^2$-bundle over a Zariski locally trivially $\pp^2$-bundle over $\mathrm{Gr}^\omega(3,T_{X^{[n]}})$. \vspace{.5cm}\noindent \textbf{Proof of (7).} This follows immediately from the proof of (4) and (6). \vspace{.5cm} From the above descriptions, it is clear that $D_i$ ($i=1,2,3$) are normal crossing smooth divisors. \qed \section{Hodge-Deligne polynomial of $D_2^0 $} \label{sec: Computation of E-poly of D_0^2} In this section we prove Lemma \ref{lem: Hodge Deligne poly of D02}. Recall $$I_{2n-3}=\{((x_i),(y_j))\in \pp^{2n-3}\times \pp^{2n-3}\,|\, \sum_{i=0}^{2n-3} x_iy_i=0\}.$$ It is elementary (\cite{GH78} p. 606) to see that $$H^*(I_{2n-3};\qq)\cong \qq[a,b]/\langle a^{2n-2}, b^{2n-2}, a^{2n-3}+a^{2n-4}b+a^{2n-5}b^2+\cdots+b^{2n-3} \rangle$$ where $a$ (resp. $b$) is the pull-back of the first Chern class of the tautological line bundle of the first (resp. second) $\pp^{2n-3}$. The $\zz_2$-action interchanges $a$ and $b$ and the invariant subspace of $H^*(I_{2n-3};\qq)$ is generated by classes of the form $a^ib^j+a^jb^i$. As a vector space $H^*(I_{2n-3};\qq)$ is \begin{equation}\label{eq5.0}\qq\text{-span}\{a^ib^j\,|\, 0\le i\le 2n-3, 0\le j\le 2n-4\}\end{equation} while the invariant subspace is $$\qq\text{-span}\{a^ib^j+a^jb^i\,|\, 0\le i\le j\le 2n-4\}.$$ The index set $\{(i,j)\,|\, 0\le i\le j\le 2n-4\}$ is mapped to its complement in $\{(i,j)\,|\, 0\le i\le 2n-3, 0\le j\le 2n-4\}$ by the map $(i,j)\mapsto (j+1,i)$. This immediately implies that \begin{equation}\label{eq5.3} P(I_{2n-3};z)=(1+z^2)P^+(I_{2n-3};z)\end{equation} By \eqref{eq5.0} or the observation that $I_{2n-3}$ is the Zariski locally trivial $\pp^{2n-4}$-bundle over $\pp^{2n-3}$, we have \begin{equation}\label{eq5.2}P(I_{2n-3};z)=\frac{1-(z^2)^{2n-2}}{1-z^2}\cdot \frac{1-(z^2)^{2n-3}}{1-z^2}.\end{equation} Because $1+z^2$ divides $\frac{1-(z^2)^{2n-2}}{1-z^2}$, $\frac{1-(z^2)^{2n-3}}{1-z^2}$ also divides $P^+(I_{2n-3};z)$. Therefore, (\ref{eqn: E D02 is divisible by some Q}) is a direct consequence of \eqref{eqn: compute D02} since $P(X^{[n]};z)$ has no odd degree terms by \eqref{eqn:Betti for X[n]}. Now let us prove \eqref{eqn: compute D02}. Let $$\psi:\widetilde{D}_2^0:=\pp\Upsilon^{-1}(0)/SO(2)\to \mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0=X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}-\mathbf{\Delta}$$ be the Zariski locally trivial $I_{2n-3}$-bundle in the proof of Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc} (2) in \S4. Recall that $D_2^0=\widetilde{D}_2^0/\zz_2$. We have seen in the proof of Proposition \ref{prop:analysis on exc} (2) in \S4 that there is a $\zz_2$-equivariant embedding $$\imath:\widetilde{D}_2^0\hookrightarrow \pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)\times_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0} \pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)$$ where the $\zz_2$-action interchanges $\cL_1$ and $\cL_2$. Let $\lambda$ (resp. $\eta$) be the pull-back to $\widetilde{D}_2^0$ of the first Chern class of the tautological line bundle over $\pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_1,\cL_2)$ (resp. $\pp\cE xt^1_{\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0}(\cL_2,\cL_1)$). By definition, $\lambda$ and $\eta$ restrict to $a$ and $b$ respectively. The $\zz_2$-action interchanges $\lambda$ and $\eta$. By the Leray-Hirsch theorem\footnote{The Leray-Hirsch theorem in \cite{V02I} p.182 is stated for ordinary cohomology but the statement holds also for compact support cohomology. See the proof in \cite{V02I} p.195} we have an isomorphism \begin{equation}\label{eq5.5} H^*_c(\widetilde{D}_2^0)\ \ \cong \ H^*_c(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0)\otimes H^*(I_{2n-3}).\end{equation} As the pull-back and the cup product preserve mixed Hodge structure, \eqref{eq5.5} determines the mixed Hodge structure of $H^*_c(\widetilde{D}_2^0)$. The $\zz_2$-invariant part is \begin{equation}\label{eq5.6} H^*_c(\widetilde{D}_2^0)^+\cong \left( H^*_c(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0)^+\otimes H^*(I_{2n-3})^+\right) \oplus \left( H^*_c(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0)^-\otimes H^*(I_{2n-3})^-\right) \end{equation} where the superscript $\pm$ denotes the $\pm 1$-eigenspace of the $\zz_2$-action. Because $H^*_c(D_2^0)\cong H^*_c(\widetilde{D}_2^0/\zz_2)\cong H^*_c(\widetilde{D}_2^0)^+$ (\cite{Gr57} Theorem 5.3.1 and Proposition 5.2.3), $E(D_2^0;u,v)$ is equal to \begin{equation}\label{eq5.7} E^+(\widetilde{D}_2^0;u,v)=E^+(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0;u,v)E^+(I_{2n-3};u,v) +E^-(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0;u,v)E^-(I_{2n-3};u,v). \end{equation} where $E^\pm(Y;u,v)=\sum_{p,q}\sum_{k\geq0} (-1)^k h^{p,q}(H^k_c(Y)^\pm) u^pv^q$. It is easy to see \begin{eqnarray*}P^+(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]};z)=\frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2+P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2,\\ {P^-(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]};z)=\frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2-P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2}\end{eqnarray*} (Macdonald's formula). Since $X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}$ is smooth projective, we have \begin{eqnarray*} E^+(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]};z,z)=\frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2+P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2\\ E^-(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]};z,z)=\frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2-P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2 \end{eqnarray*} Now as $\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0=X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]}-\mathbf{\Delta}$ and $\mathbf{\Delta}\cong X^{[n]}$ is $\zz_2$-invariant, by the additive property of the E-polynomial we have \begin{eqnarray*} E^+(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0;z,z)=E^+(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]};z,z) -E(X^{[n]};z,z)\\ = \frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2+P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2-P(X^{[n]};z),\end{eqnarray*} \begin{eqnarray*}E^-(\mathcal{X}^{[n]}_0;z,z)=E^-(X^{[n]}\times X^{[n]};z,z)\\ =\frac{P(X^{[n]};z)^2-P(X^{[n]};z^2)}2.\end{eqnarray*} The equation \eqref{eqn: compute D02} is an immediate consequence of the above equations and \eqref{eq5.7}. \qed \bibliographystyle{amsplain}

Read & Watch: Del Potro Gets Personal In 'The Road To London' Juan Martin del Potro is working hard to make his first appearance at The O2 in six years and let cameras in during his road to recovery. In his new documentary “The Road to London: Juan Martin del Potro”, we went behind the scenes as the Argentine rehabbed from a fractured right kneecap he sustained last October at the Rolex Shanghai Masters, forcing him to miss the season-ending championships in London. As Del Potro spent grueling hours in the gym in his hometown of Tandil, returning to The O2 remained high on his mind. "It’s one event that every player wants to be in,” said Del Potro. “It’s not easy to qualify for London, but it will be a good challenge to see if I can qualify once again.” The documentary also shows a more relaxed side of Del Potro as he hosted a charity day event in his hometown, drank mate on a hill top and had a barbecue dinner with friends. Although he welcomed the time at home, the Argentine was eager to compete again and repeat the success of his 2018 season that saw him crack the Top 10 for the first time in four years. “I never expected to be in the Top 10 again after all of my problems. It’s never easy to repeat a similar year, but you never know if I’m still in good shape and feeling healthy.”

Piedmont Culture Piedmont is located in Northern Italy between Emilia Romagna and Switzerland, and it is a territory that boasts a rich cultural heritage. The history of the region is strongly related to the Savoy, a noble family that brought popularity and prestige to this part of Italy throughout time. The Savoy Residences, declared as UNESCO world heritage sites, stand out as a testimony to the solid presence of the monarchy. Since the Middle Ages, the monarchy characterized the facets of the region and its importance in the entire country. The domination of the Savoy dynasty, which reigned in Italy until the establishment of the Republic in 1946, has been a fundamental instrument in the cultural development of the region. Piedmont was also a homeland and preferred destination of many illustrious characters through the centuries, and a few contemporary personalities were born in the region. The capital of the region is Turin, a place that evolved yet maintained its original charm of a city of culture and art. Today, many stroll on the streets of modern Turin, or sip a cup of coffee or eat delicious dishes in historic cafés that once drew remarkable literates, poets, and scientists. The literature in Turin, and in Piedmont, is an important part of the local culture. Apart from many literates and authors famous the world over, the city now hosts one of the most important international book conventions, the Salone del Libro. Apart from literature, the region is linked to many other sides of the culture, such as the architecture and the arts, cinema, and even the music. While Turin is a vibrant and lively city, the other cities of the region preserve different rhythms and stronger bonds with the past. The medieval charm and traditions are still preserved in cities like Casale Monferrato, Alessandria and Asti. These areas are characterized by endless vineyards, bountiful agriculture and beautiful weather throughout the seasons. The local traditions still thrive in these areas and attract thousands to folkloristic events, such as the Palio of Asti or the Carnival of Ivrea. As a strongly religious region, Piedmont is visited by many pilgrims and believers from all over the world. Catholicism is the dominant religion, yet the region also boasts an important Hebraic community and some communities of the Protestant confession. Piedmont is also the homeland of two of the most iconic Italian products that turned the world’s head, the historic FIAT 500 and the delicious Nutella, a popular hazelnut cream spread. Piedmont’s Art and Architecture Piedmont’s art and architecture have ancient roots and early medieval-period testimonies. The first examples of artistic and architectural development in the region are the barbarian necropolis of Testona, near Moncalieri, and a Baptistery in Novara, together with a few remains of the churches that were built or rebuilt in the Romanesque period. The unique Romanesque-Lombardy style that characterizes the Piedmont region still lives in the impressive architecture of the church of San Michele in Oleggio and in the Cathedral of Ivrea, an example of the first local Romanesque basilica in Piedmont. But the crown of Romanesque art and architecture in the region is the majestic abbey Sacra di San Michele. The most impressive part of the abbey is, without a doubt, the Presbytery and its entrance that is flanked by capitals and pillars sculpted with images of the signs of the zodiac and constellations. The cathedrals of Casale Monferrato and the Abbey of Santa Maria of Vezzolano are other significant examples of the Romanesque style. Due to a weak urban development, only a few urban centers in Piedmont show traces of the medieval age. The traces are majorly constituted by abbeys and castles that were eventually destroyed or altered. Between the 12th and 13th centuries, the cities that knew some development were Novara, Asti, and Vercelli. Alessandria, one of the most important cities of the region, together with Turin, developed as boroughs at first, then were developed from an economic and cultural point of view later on. Regarding the art of the period, a few bas-reliefs in the basilica of Sant’Andrea in Vercelli and in the abbey of Sant’Antonio in Ranverso are some of the most representative examples of sculpture, while both edifices are splendid examples of Piedmont’s Gothic architecture. The painting and sculpting remained modest in the following centuries, yet numerous buildings show the local interpretation of the Gothic style, in particular, some churches characterized by high cusps and overlapping portals, such as the cathedral of San Giovanni in Saluzzo and the cathedrals of Cirié and Chivasso, and many other settlements. The cathedrals of Asti and Novara are beautiful, although the most representative examples in terms of both architecture and sculpture are the cathedrals of Chieri and Susa. In these cathedrals, part of the Gothic influence can be seen in the carved wood elements, such as the crucifixes, icons and the choir stalls. The 15th and 16th centuries are dominated by feudalism and its persistence in the region is evidenced by a large number of castles located in various centers with a dominant position. Particularly well-preserved are the castles of Canavese and Monferrato. From the same era, the ancient center of Saluzzo has remained essentially unchanged. In the second part of the 16th century, the political and social situation hindered the emergence of a more modern art manifested almost everywhere throughout Piedmont. The Renaissance style started to emerge in the Vercelli area, and was influenced by Lombardy’s art, which resulted in a remarkable school of painting being opened. Giovanni Martino Spanzotti, Defendente Ferrari, and Gaudenzio Ferrari’s works can be admired in many churches throughout Vercelli, Novara, Ivrea, and Turin. From all the artworks, one of the most representative frescoes can be found in the chapel of Our Lady of Loreto, while other splendid examples are present in the church of Madonna delle Grazie in Varallo. Turin started to meet a period of great artistic flowering in the second half of the 16th century, when the Savoy established the capital of the region in this city. The school of Turin was influenced by French art, and the local artists developed a unique interpretation of the Renaissance that is well visible in the Palace of Valentino. Baroque emerged in Piedmont in the 17th century, and the greatest architect of the time is unanimously considered to be Guarino Guarini, even he was not from Piedmont. Among the edifices projected by the architect, the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, which is annexed to the Cathedral of Turin, is perhaps the most famous. As it is easy to imagine, the chapel houses the famous shroud Jesus presumably wore after death. Besides the chapel, other important works of the architect include the church of San Lorenzo and the Carignano Palace in Turin. Inspired by the art of Borromini, the palace is a very bold interpretation of Baroque motifs. In the 17th century painting and sculpture didn’t thrive, yet one of the most important artists of the era, whose works beautify various churches throughout the region, is Tanzio da Varallo. The beginning of the 18th century represented a turning point in the architecture of Piedmont, thanks to the arrival of Filippo Juvarra. His works still impress locals and tourists alike, and among the most important edifices is the Palazzo Madama in Turin, Stupinigi Lodge in Nichelino and Basilica Superga in Turin. All these edifices are characterized by a perfect synthesis of space with Baroque or classic motifs. Other important architectural works of the 18th century are the bell tower of the Basilica of San Gaudenzio in Novara, and the cathedral of Carignano. While painting and sculpture were still shadowed by architecture, other arts and crafts started to arise in Piedmont, such as the production of furniture, tapestries, embroidery, and majolica, arts that transform the baroque of Piedmont in a splendid example of taste and sensitivity of the time. While architecture dominated the region until the 19th century, the era of sculpture soon took over, represented by many monuments of Carlo Marochetti. The painting school of the time is also noteworthy and characterized mainly by the reproduction of romantic landscapes. Nevertheless, great architecture emerges again in the second half of the 19th century. The greatest architect of the time is, without a doubt, Alessandro Antonelli, whose iconic Mole Antonelliana dominates the landscape of Turin and hosts the National Museum of Cinema. Another important work of the architect is the dome of the Basilica of San Gaudenzio in Novara, another splendid example of verticality and technical ability. The beginning of the 20th century in Piedmont is characterized by economic recovery and Liberty style. The affirmation of this style in Turin sets the basis of the Great Modern Art Exhibition inaugurated in 1902. The architecture of the time is also characterized by the imaginative structures of Raimondo D’Aronco who built the main pavilion of the Exhibition. Leonardo Bistolfi, a sculptor and exponent of Italian symbolism, is responsible for the suggestive transformations carried out in the art, while one of the most representative painters of the era, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, impresses with the Fourth State. The painting, now exhibited in the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan, is the result of a long elaboration in which the painter adapted the French post-impressionism to a new ethical content in the context of a social commitment characteristic of the Turin Socialist intellectuals. The Liberty style had a relatively short life in Piedmont and knew its fall by the first decade of the 20th century. Piedmont is an industrial region, and the demands of industrial production were hardly compatible with the sumptuousness of the Liberty style. From the second decade of the 20th century onwards, the architectural style of the region was dominated by industrial buildings and factories. Among the most representative examples is the FIAT building designed in 1919 by Giacomo Mattè-Trucco. The Lingotto plant is particularly interesting, characterized by a structure in reinforced concrete with multiple planes connected by a helix ramp that leads to the roof. The edifice was reinvented in 1983 by architect Renzo Piano who added to Lingotto new spaces, such as offices, auditoriums, and more. The most emblematic structure created by Renzo Piano in the reinvention of Lingotto is Bolla, a suspended meeting room that inspired the architect in some of his future works. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the occasion of the 2006 Winter Olympics hosted by Turin, the regional architectural style was reinvented once more, and a number of facilities emerged, including the Olympic Village. Science in Piedmont Although modest from a science perspective, the Piedmont region boasts a few important names and was the birthplace of a number of people who actually made a difference in Italy and in the world. One of these people is Joseph Louis Lagrange, unanimously considered one of the brightest mathematicians of the 18th century. Lagrange was born in Turin in 1736 and at the age of fourteen joined the University of Turin to undertake legal studies. His passion for geometry and experimental physics prevailed and the future genius of mathematics abandoned the legal studies to dedicate himself to the study of advanced mathematics. Although he published his first scientific work exclusively in Italian, his vision brought him the attention of the International Scientific Community, and King Charles Emanuel III nominates him the Substitute of the Master of Mathematics despite his young age. In 1766 Lagrange became the president of the Academy of Sciences in Berlin and continued his work that eventually led to the creation of the decimal metric system, which represents the basis of today’s International System. To pay tribute to Lagrange’s great mind, the city of Turin commissioned a sculpture that was executed by Giovanni Albertoni. The sculpture dominates the center of Lagrange square. Another important scientific figure of Piedmont is Rita Levi Montalcini, born in Turin in 1909. Montalcini was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1986, after years dedicated to the study of neurosciences. She began her medical studies at the age of 20, and although she determined to pursue an academic career as an assistant in neurobiology and psychiatry, the racial laws that were emanating from the fascist regime in Italy blocked her. Nevertheless, her passion for science pushed Montalcini to continue her research in an improvised home lab until an opportunity arose for her in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA. The United States of America became the second home to Montalcini and she continues her research on the NFG molecule, a protein that plays an essential role in the differentiation of the various nerve cells. Literature in Piedmont Besides science, literature played an important role in Piedmont. One of the greatest names of the literature of the region is Umberto Eco, a critic, essayist, and writer famous all over the world. Eco was born in Alessandria in 1932 and graduated the University of Turin in 1954 with a thesis on the aesthetic thought of Tommaso Aquino. His career started at a local TV agency where he collaborated with a few broadcasts while in parallel he began writing his first novels. In 1980 Umberto Eco publishes The Name of the Rose, a novel that conquered the hearts of literary critics and readers all over the world. The novel, inspired by some of the most iconic landmarks of Piedmont, such as the Sacra of San Michele, became the inspiration for a splendid cinematic transposition featuring Sean Connery as one of the actors. Besides Umberto Eco, Piedmont also boasts a few other important writers, such as Gianni Rodari, an author of novels and stories for children, Primo Levi, Cesare Pavese and Vittorio Alfieri. A literary tour in the region leads to the discovery of all the places that inspired these great wordsmiths and is a beautiful way of discovering an alternative Piedmont, away from the masses. Music in Piedmont From a musical point of view, Piedmont is dominated by two distinctive composers and players, Paolo Conti and Ludovico Einaudi. Paolo Conti was born in Asti in 1937 and as a teenager begins to cultivate his passion for the classic American jazz. He begins writing songs inspired by cinema, literature, and life, while in parallel he pursues a career as a solicitor. In the 60s some of his creations were made famous by a series of important Italian musicians such as Adriano Celentano and Patty Bravo, while Conti launches his first jazz album in 1974. Since then, he influenced styles and impressed critics and enthusiasts with his timeless jazz songs. Ludovico Einaudi, on the other hand, is an important composer and piano player who preserved in his musical expression an echo of the classical reality influenced by pop, jazz, and rock music. Because of his unique and distinctive style, Einaudi’s music is appreciated all over the world. Movies and Cinema In Piedmont Piedmont, and above all Turin, is also the birthplace of the Italian cinema. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the city played an important role in the film culture both in production and in the promotion of various Italian movies. In fact, after the invention of the cinema in 1896, Turin was one of the first cities where the film industry started to develop, at first with silent movies, then with other styles of cinema. One of the most iconic movies from the beginnings of cinema, Cabiria registered in 1914 by Giovanni Pastore, and it still represents a model of the evolution of cinema. To discover the history of Turin and the evolution of cinema, visit the National Museum of Cinema, inaugurated in 1941. Today, the museum is located among the impressive scenery of Mole Antonelliana, and here you will be able to find out more about the history of cinema, its various genres, and the most famous movies and protagonists. The museum is structured on four levels which are divided into the “archeology of cinema.” Exhibits include some pre-cinematic optic machines, magical lanterns, as well as ancient and modern cinematographic equipment. Among the most impressive objects in the collection are some decorations of the first Italian cinema hall seats. The second level is dedicated to the machines and various phases of filmmaking, while the third level hosts a gallery. The fourth level is probably the most impressive and it is unanimously considered the heart of the museum. The level is organized as a temple hall that offers access to ten different halls, each of them dedicated to a different cinematic genre. The center of the edifice is equipped with comfortable chaise lounges where you can sit and watch two silent movies and a short brief of the history of Italian cinema. The museum also has a constantly expanding library. A visit to the Mole Antonelliana also features a splendid panorama over the city and its surroundings. The museum also hosts various events dedicated to cinema and film, including the Torino Film Festival, an event dedicated exclusively to Italian cinema.

TITLE: Riemann normal coordinates and inertial frames in general relativity QUESTION [2 upvotes]: The weak equivalence principle states that for infinitesimal patches of space and time, the laws of nature are identical to that of special relativity. This is mathematically reflected in the existence of Riemann normal coordinates at every point on the manifold. Geodesics are straight lines in these coordinates as expected since particles are expected to move in straight lines in special relativity. However, I don't completely understand the relationship between these coordinates and inertial frames. Consider the case of a particle moving along a geodesic; we can construct normal coordinates at every point on its trajectory. However, depending on how I define my tetrad basis, the coordinates of each of the points close to the particle will be different. It appears to me that there is a special orientation to the tetrad basis we can choose. We can define the "time" basis vector to be tangent to the trajectory of the particle and the other "space" vectors to be orthogonal to this vector. Then, as the particle moves along its path in an infinitesimal time, the magnitude of the "space" coordinates will not vary with only the "time" coordinate changing. This is an inertial frame in which geodesics are straight lines and the particle does not move in its own reference frame (for an infinitesimal time at least before we switch to a different set of normal coordinates adapted to a different point). Is this what we mean by an inertial frame? If so, what is the interpretation of the normal coordinates that can be constructed such that the "time" basis is not tangent to the trajectory of the particle, and where all components change as the particle moves? Now on the other hand, say a particle is moving along a curve in the manifold with a non-zero four acceleration. At every point in time on its trajectory, it's still possible to construct normal coordinates at the position of the particle. If we follow the same procedure as before and define the "time" vector to be tangent to the trajectory of the particle at a point p, the geodesic along that tangent starting at p will appear to be parameterised by coordinates given by: $(t,0,0,0)$ (where t is the parameter). However, since the particle is not moving along a geodesic, the particles position cannot simply be parameterised by $(t,0,0,0)$ and there must be a change in position as well. This means that there are no normal coordinates in which a an accelerating particle can see geodesics as straight lines and simultaneously be at "rest" (in the normal coordinates). Is this a reflection of the fact that accelerating observers can't be in inertial reference frames? In that case, can the frame we constructed be considered a co-moving reference frame? I'm not sure if this the right way to think about normal coordinates, so any help is appreciated. REPLY [6 votes]: Is this what we mean by an inertial frame? If so, what is the interpretation of the normal coordinates that can be constructed such that the "time" basis is not tangent to the trajectory of the particle, and where all components change as the particle moves? Yes, this is a (local) inertial frame. If the time direction is not aligned with the tangent vector to the geodesic, then the 4-velocity of the particle will not be $\mathbf u = \frac{\partial}{\partial t}$; in other words, you have constructed an inertial frame in which the particle in question is moving. This frame is related to the rest frame of the particle by a Lorentz boost. Is this a reflection of the fact that accelerating observers can't be in inertial reference frames? In that case, can the frame we constructed be considered a co-moving reference frame? Yes to both.

TITLE: Is it possible for a solar system to have planets orbiting the star(s) in a spherical pattern? QUESTION [1 upvotes]: By the question I mean that the planets spin in their ellipse but all ellipses describe the surface of a near-sphere shape around a star. Same question but for a solar system with 2 stars of irrelevant sizes or nature REPLY [7 votes]: I think what you mean is - is it possible for a planetary system to exist such that the planets do not orbit in a single plane, but the planets have a large scatter of inclination angles? Our solar system has a relatively modest range, providing you ignore Pluto, of orbital inclination values (and eccentricities); zero to 7 degrees (Mercury). This is thought to be due to the way that the solar system was formed; from a rotating protoplanetary disk. Other planetary systems are thought to form in the same way and indeed there is evidence from many of the multiple planetary systems discovered via the transiting technique, that many other planetary systems are also very "flat" and often flatter than our solar system. (e.g. Fang & Margot 2012) Nevertheless there are exceptions. One can use the Rossiter-Mclaughlin effect to estimate the projected orientation of a transiting planet's orbit to the equatorial plane of rotation of its parent star. There are many examples of planets which have orbits that go over the rotation poles of their parent stars or are even retrograde. For example: Anderson et al. 2010; Triaud's 2011 PhD thesis. About 1/3 of "hot Jupiters" are misaligned in this way. The misalignment may be as a result of dynamical interaction with other planets or as a result of close fly-bys by other stars or interactions with a binary companion. EDIT: The R-M effect is suggestive of non-coplanarity, but as only one planet is seen, it is not conclusive. There is at present I think only one solid example where the measurements suggest non-coplanarity of two planets and that is in the planetary system surrounding Upsilon And A. Using radial velocities and astrometry from the fine guidance sensors on HST, MacArthur et al. (2010) were able to establish that the c and d planets (i.e. the 2nd and 3rd planets in the system) were inclined at angles of $30\pm1$ degrees with respect to each other. This is much larger than the differences seen in our solar system (maybe 7 degrees). The presence of two stars is something that is thought to be a key trigger of misalignment. Something called the Kozai mechanism can cause a periodic exchange between orbital inclination and eccentricity so that a planet flips backwards and forwards between two radically different orbits. It is quite possible for an outer planet to be affected by Kozai cycles whilst closer in, perhaps more massive planets contine on their more "usual" co-planar paths. If you would like (much) more information then a good read is the review by Melvynn Davies et al. given at last year's "Protostars and Planets VI" conference. The talk can also be viewed here (he's a good speaker).

TITLE: Taking limit of $\left(1 - \frac{\lambda}{n}\right)^n$ where $\lambda$ and $n$ are related in context of Poisson distribution QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Context of Poisson distribution: $n \rightarrow \infty$ and $\lambda := np$ where $p \in [0,1]$ can be thought of as probability of success, $n$ is the number of chances, and $\lambda$ as the average or expected value of success. You can see the entire proof of turning a binomial distribution's probability mass function into Poisson's here in page 3, though I don't think you need to read it for this question: https://mbernste.github.io/files/notes/Poisson.pdf A key step within this proof is this relation: $$e^{-\lambda} = \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \left(1-\frac{\lambda}{n}\right)^n$$ I understand this equality and its proof when $n$ and $\lambda$ are independent to each other, but have trouble accepting the equality when there is a relation, namely $\lambda = np$. Assuming $p$ is fixed and non-zero, $z:= -\frac{n}{\lambda}$, and using the limit definition of $e$, the proof for this equality goes like this: $$\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \left(1 - \frac{\lambda}{n}\right)^n = \lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}{\left(-\frac{n}{\lambda}\right)}\right)^{\left(-\frac{n}{\lambda}\right)\left(-\lambda\right)}=\lim_{z\rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{z}\right)^{z\left(-\lambda\right)} = e^{-\lambda}$$ I feel this proof is incomplete or has some errors, specifically: Since $z := -\frac{n}{\lambda}$, shouldn't the limit be $z \rightarrow -\infty$ instead? (The equality remains true) Since $n \rightarrow \infty$ and $\lambda := np$, shouldn't $\lambda \rightarrow \infty$ as well such that $e^{-\lambda} = 0$? REPLY [3 votes]: What you have is a special case of the Poisson limit theorem. The parameter $\lambda$ here is a fixed number, and $np=\lambda$ should be understood as $np_n=\lambda$. Note in particular that $p$ is not fixed.

Sports fantasy sports contests DraftKings has used in the past. Each contestant pays a $10,000 entry fee, then receives $5,000 in contest cash to make their wagers. Each player is required to make five wagers throughout the weekend, including one on Friday, two on Saturday, and two on Sunday. In the case of this last weekend’s DraftKings contest, contestants were required to make wagers on the two games on Sunday: The Los Angeles Chargers visiting the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the New Orleans Saints. At the end of the weekend, the sports bettors who still have bankrolls keep whatever cash they have left. Those at the top of the leaderboard receive a guaranteed total of $2.5 million, with the 1st place prize being $1 million. Rufus Peabody Loses Shot at $1 Million A contestant with the username rleejr86 made a final bet of $47,500 to boost his or her earnings to $101,474. That was enough for rleejr86 to take 1st place and win the $1,000,000 grand prize in the contest. Rufus Peabody, a professional sports bettor with the username Opti5624, had a bankroll of almost $82,000 heading into Sunday’s NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles. A winning bet of $20,000 would have been enough to hand Mr. Peabody the million-dollar prize. How Opti5624 Was in 1st Place Peabody had achieved first place by winning a double-or-nothing bet on the New England Patriots in the first game. The Patriots were -3.5 favorites against the Los Angeles Chargers in the 1pm EST game on Sunday. The Patriots won the game 41-28, boosting Peabody’s total ahead of everyone else in the championship. Unfortunately for Opti5624, the funds from the fourth leg in the contest were not released to his account before the Saints-Eagles game reached kickoff. The NFL staggers the schedule in the playoff rounds, so most games end 30 to 45 minutes before the next game on the schedule. The Patriots-Chargers game ended close to the Saints-Eagles kickoff, but DraftKings had plenty of time to process wagers and allow contestants to bet their full bankroll on the final contest, which many would have done. Rufus Peabody has a total of $0 at kickoff, so he was unable to make a wager at all. (His nearly $82k was returned to his account after the game started.) How Peabody Was Unable to Make a Bet Rufus Peabody, the co-founder of Massey-Peabody (football analytics) and a onetime ESPN employee, said to ESPN’s Chalk, .” DraftKings Statement on Sports Betting National Championship James Chisolm, a DraftKings spokesman, released a statement on the controversy: “We recognize that in the rules the scheduled end of betting [kickoff of the NFC divisional-round game].” DraftKings Sports Betting National Championship Prior to the contest’s launch, DraftKings had touted the sports betting tournament as a good betting prospect for bettors. The guaranteed prize pool of $2.5 million needed approximately 500 entries in order to break even, given the fact many would win back some of their cash. By Tuesday of last week, only 140 contestants had paid the $10,000 entry fee, producing a potential overlay. DraftKings mentioned this in public statements, hoping to drive high rollers to enter the contest. It still is not known how many entered, though one can assume DraftKings took a loss on the championship. Now, it appears DraftKings took a loss and a public relations hit. Add comment

TITLE: Is it true that the order of $ab$ is always equal to the order of $ba$? QUESTION [18 upvotes]: How do I prove that if $a$, $b$ are elements of group, then $o(ab) = o(ba)$? For some reason I end up doing the proof for abelian(ness?), i.e., I assume that the order of $ab$ is $2$ and do the steps that lead me to conclude that $ab=ba$, so the orders must be the same. Is that the right way to do it? REPLY [2 votes]: (1) $(ab)^n = e$ $\Rightarrow$ $(ba)^n = (ba)^nbb^{-1} = b(ab)^nb^{-1} = beb^{-1} = e$. (2) $(ba)^n = e$ $\Rightarrow$ $(ab)^n = (ab)^naa^{-1} = a(ba)^na^{-1} = aea^{-1} = e$.

TITLE: Supremum over a compact set QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Suppose $H$ is a separable Hilbert space and $F:H \to \mathbb{R}$ is a map (continuous if necessary). Let $K= \{a_n\}\cup \{a\}$ where $a_n \to a$ in $H$. Isn't it always the case that $$\sup_{h \in K} F(h) = \begin{cases} F(a_{k_*}) &: \text{for some $k_* \in \mathbb{N}$}\\ F(a) &: \text{o/w} \end{cases}$$ and hence, if the $F$ depends on a parameter $p$, $$\lim_{p \to p_0} \sup_{h \in K} F(h) = \begin{cases} \lim_{p \to p_0}F(a_{k_*}) &: \text{for some $k_* \in \mathbb{N}$}\\ \lim_{p \to p_0}F(a) &: \text{o/w} \end{cases}$$ Is it correct? REPLY [2 votes]: A convergent sequence together with its limit is always a compact space (at least in Hausdorff spaces). So the answer to your first question is "yes", because $F(K)$ is compact in $\mathbb{R}$. That's under assumption that $F$ is continous. Otherwise this is not true, $F(K)$ can be any countable subset of $\mathbb{R}$ (doesn't have to be closed, so $\sup$ doesn't have to belong to it). The answer to the second question is "no", even when $F$ is continous and $H$ is well behaving space like $\mathbb{R}$. That's because the limit $\lim\sup F_p(K)$ doesn't even have to exist. For example take $a_n=\frac{1}{n}\in\mathbb{R}$. Then $$K=\bigg\{0, 1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \ldots\bigg\}$$ Define $$F_p:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$$ $$F_p(x)=(-1)^p\cdot x$$ Then $$\sup F_p(K)=\begin{cases} 0 &\mbox{ for odd } p \\ 1 &\mbox{ for even } p \end{cases}$$ So the limit doesn't exist.

TITLE: Compact opens in sober $T_1$ are closed? QUESTION [3 upvotes]: I am trying to establish some basic facts about spectral spaces. In relation to this I am looking for a proof of, or a counter example to, the statement that compact open subsets of a sober $T_1$ space are closed. Recall that a topological space is sober if every closed irreducible subset has a generic point. Whence in a sober $T_1$ space the closed irreducible subsets are precisely the singletons. Any help is appreciated. REPLY [2 votes]: You can find counterexamples in some fairly typical sober $T_1$ spaces that are not Hausdorff. For example, consider $\mathbb{N}\cup\{x,y\}$ where every point of $\mathbb{N}$ is isolated and the neighbourhoods of $x$ and $y$ are the cofinite subsets containing $x$ and $y$ respectively. Then $\mathbb{N}\cup\{x\}$ is compact open but not closed.

A historic handshake sealed the deal Thursday night that will bring a new professional sports team to Orlando. Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs have agreed to a proposal that will put a new $85 million stadium downtown. Related: Follow WESH 2 sports director Larry Ridley on Twitter The decision is the biggest step necessary to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to Orlando. Orange County has pledged $20 million in tourist taxes. The deal also includes $25 million to finish the second phase of the Doctor Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. The agreement comes just two days after talks about the stadium hit a snag, when some county leaders raised concerns about budgeting.

\section{Examples} Here we compute some examples. Obviously, If $G \not \in \cA$, $c_i(G) =0$ for all $i$. \subsection{$\cA$ is the complement of triangle-free graphs} $\cA$ consists of all graphs which have an induced triangle. We compute the coefficients $c_i(G)$ of $\cP_{\cA}$ for various graphs $G$. \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item $G$ triangle-free. Then $c_i(G) =0$ for all $i$. This is trivially unimodal. \item $G = K_n$. Then $c_i(K_n) = {n \choose i}$ for $i \geq 3$ and $c_i(K_n) =0$ otherwise. This is clearly unimodal. \item $G=W_n=K_1\bowtie C_{n-1}$. Then $c_i(W_n)={{n-1} \choose {i-1}}-I_i(C_{n-1})$ where $I_i(C_{n-1})$ is the number of independent sets of size $i-1$ in $C_{n-1}$. This can be computed explicitly via the independence polynomial of a cycle: $$ I(C_n)=\frac{1}{2^{n-1}}[(1+2x+s)(1+s)^{n-2}+(1+2x-s)(1-s)^{n-2}] $$ where $s=\sqrt{1+4x}$ see \cite{levit2005independence}. To prove that $c_i(W_n)$ is unimodal using Corollary \ref{co:3-4} we need that there are no subsets $S\subseteq V(W_n)$ such that $|S|=\lceil n/2 \rceil$ and $W_n[S]\not\in \cA$. However, every subset $S$ with $|S|=\lceil n/2 \rceil$ which contains the vertex of degree $n-1$ has an induced triangle. Hence, Corollary \ref{co:3-4} cannot be applied, and we do not know whether $c_i(W_n)$ is unimodal. \end{enumerate} \begin{problem} Let $\cA$ be the complement of triangle-free graphs. Characterize the graphs $G$ for which $P_{\cA}(G;x)$ is unimodal. \end{problem} \ifskip\else In particular, we have: \begin{corollary} \label{cor} If $\cA$ is as above and $G$ is a graph of order $n$ such that there are no subsets $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that $|S|=\lceil n/2 \rceil$ and $G[S]\not\in \cA$, the sequence $\{c_i\}$ is unimodal with mode $\lceil n/2 \rceil$. \end{corollary} \begin{proof} If there are no subsets $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that $|S|=\lceil n/2 \rceil$ and $G[S]\not\in \cA$, then for $k=\lceil n/2 \rceil$, we have $\frac{c_k}{{n \choose k }}=1>\frac{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}{\lceil n/2 \rceil+1}$. \\ This can also be shown without using Lemma \ref{lemma2} by noting that in this case we have $c_i(G) = {n \choose i}$, for $i \geq \lceil n/2 \rceil$. \end{proof} \fi \subsection{$\cA$ is the complement of $H$-free graphs} Here $H$ is of order $h$. \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item $H =K_2$. Then $c_i(K_n) = {n \choose i}$ for $i \geq h$ and $c_i(K_n) =0$ otherwise. This is clearly unimodal. \item $H =K_2$. $c_i(K_{m,n})={n+m \choose i} - {m \choose i} - {n \choose i}$ for $i \geq 3$. \item $H =K_h$. Then $c_i(K_n) = {n \choose i}$ for $i \geq h$ and $c_i(K_n) =0$ otherwise. This is clearly unimodal. \item $H=K_{1,3}$. Then $\cA$ is the complement of claw-free graphs. Then $c_i(K_{n,m})={{n+m} \choose i}-{m \choose i} - {n \choose i}$ for $i>4$, $c_i(K_{n,m})={{n+m} \choose i}-{m \choose i} - {n \choose i}-{n \choose {i/2}}-{m \choose {i/2}}$ for $i=4$ and $c_i(K_{n,m})=0$ for $i<4$. \end{enumerate}

TITLE: Why does a scintillator need to be fast decaying? QUESTION [0 upvotes]: I have two scintillators, say, one with a decay time of 1 ns vs. one with 100 ns. All other parameters like light yield, size of crystal, electronics used, source emission rate, are the same for both. How would their responses differ (say, for neutron irradiation)? For purposes like active interrogation, would it really matter which one I use? Which is the limiting factor: timing of scintillator or timing of electronics? REPLY [3 votes]: As I stated in my comment you need an estimate of the counting rate. If the time between detections is much larger than dead time, the dead time will not really be a factor. However, if the time between detections is comparable to the dead time, then a smaller deadtime will increase your detection efficiency. To determine the time between detections just take a sample count rate and divide it by count time. So take a sample spectrum for 10 secs say and determine how many detections were counted. Some electronics modules will have a count rate meter built in.

The Global Impact of the Suez Canal blockage The nearly weeklong Suez Canal blockage will have weeks and months-long implications for global trade. Rapid growth in global demand for container transportation means that carriers are overly reliant on a handful of routes for moving everything from agricultural commodities to consumer goods, e-Commerce packages and empties around the world. During the crisis, there were two percentage figures that ruled the day. 12% of all global trade passes through the Suez over the course of a calendar year. The second figure – 30% – applies to both the total number of global container movements daily and to the amount of cargo destined for the US East Coast that traverses the Suez. While the Ever Given is being examined and her owners have declared general average, the ships stuck on either side are now reaching their destinations and finding already occupied berths for which they must wait their turns. Importers and exporters in the United States will find a series of slow-moving events that will unfold over the next few weeks because of this. We at Bestway felt it was important that the blockage fallout be brought forward so that plans can be made and customers worldwide advised of potential delays in shipment departures and arrivals. Congested European ports The major Mediterranean and north European ports will have been waiting for the arrival of the ships trapped in the Red Sea. Terminals would be receiving export boxes, increasingly to the point of running out of space which meant exporters holding containers and chassis offsite and incurring additional costs. The ships filled with imports from Asia also provide the necessary containers to load with European exports, creating an additional shortage in empty equipment at both quayside and inland depots. Vessel integrity further damaged Carriers operate fixed-day sailings on what are called “strings” and it takes multiple vessels to ensure that the port calls are made on the same schedule, week-in and week-out. The bottlenecks of multiple ships arriving at the same time at ports around the world mean that some vessels in the strings will be out of timing with their anticipated port calls. To bring the ships back into alignment, we are anticipating a flurry of blanked sailings, or canceled port calls, to restore schedules. This will lead to rolled bookings, exacerbate out-of-location containers and drive up the spot rate market. Air freight may be an option – but will be even more scarce IATA’s figures show how much cargo is moving by air, but this must be viewed through the prism of passenger cancellations and so-called phreighter flights where passenger aircraft are used to fly cargo between points that would not normally be a scheduled commercial route. The constrained capacity that has been tapped into by automotive and semiconductor companies because of a chip fire in Japan and consequential supply chain shortages means that companies who are looking to fly quantities of product to fill the gap before the arrival of a delayed ocean shipment are competing against more buyers for a limited set of options. Communication remains the key The more Bestway is a close partner in your supply chain from order placement to estimated fulfillment, the better positioned we are to provide the right kind of assistance. There are multiple alternatives available including utilizing different trade lanes, a combined sea / air service or leveraging available capacity into a city or region and then moving the cargo domestically to its final destination. Speak to your Bestway representative for the solution that your particular situation demands.

Debt Recovery during and after the Pandemic 6 May 2020 by Priya Patel The Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown has raised unprecedented challenges for businesses across the UK. Some companies continue to operate with employees working from home, but others may have ceased to operate and we are seeing some major household retailers now ceasing to trade and making mass redundancies. Businesses’ cash flow has never been more important for their survival and especially so while the banking system and access to loans to bridge financial interruption is depressed. Many businesses now operate on the basis that invoices are payable upon their presentation. It is therefore increasingly common for debts to rack up and in the current climate, default is rife. Whilst this is perhaps understandable given the conditions, it is having a significant detrimental impact on cash-flow and the ultimate survival of the creditor businesses that are involved. So what are some of the options for recovering these unpaid debts? Every matter will, of course, turn on its own facts and, be advised upon according to the terms of the goods or services contract in play and the status of the company against whom the debt is being pursued will also be a relevant factor to consider. In the majority of these cases though, there will be found to be a viable method of debt recovery. With the costs of the exercise in the round of considerations and the available methods of enforcement liable to take different periods to discharge and have potentially different prospects of succeeding depending on the debtor’s circumstances, it is important to select an appropriate method of debt recovery early on in the process. Depending on the size of the debt, the threat of insolvency proceedings for a defaulting business (or individual) can carry with it a big deterrent for continuing to default and/or not enter into negotiations to settle. What is a Statutory Demand? A Statutory Demand, which is a written demand for payment of a debt served on either a company or an individual, can be used as a pre-cursor to winding-up or bankruptcy proceedings. Payment of unsecured debts must be made within 21 days of issuing a Statutory Demand. An unpaid Statutory Demand is regarded as evidence of the debtor’s inability to pay its debts for the purposes of insolvency proceedings. After 21 days, if a qualifying debt remains unpaid, then an application to either bankrupt an individual or wind-up a company debtor can follow. The process has the following potential advantages: - It does not involve the courts from the outset; - Preparing and serving a statutory demand is quick and inexpensive. - It can either result in prompt payment of a debt, or flush out details of any dispute or cross-claim early on. The consequences of not making the demanded payment can, therefore, be severe for a debtor. The court will not generally make a winding-up order against a company where the petition debt is genuinely disputed by the debtor on substantial grounds though. It may, therefore, be that if such a challenge looks likely, other routes to recovery may be more advisable. Are there any alternative routes? An alternative route to recovery is to issue court proceedings using more traditional methods; by utilising a claim form (Part 7 proceedings). The typical way to start a claim is to send a debtor a Letter Before Action (LBA), containing the concise details of the claim, pursuant to the Practice Direction on Pre Action Conduct contained in the Civil Procedure Rules. That process seeks to elicit the response of the debtor, so that each party’s respective positions can be understood by each other in more detail, from the start. Having information about the other sides’ case, early, can sometimes assist by bringing the parties in to view of what settlement options there could be available to them – to help avoid the issuing of the claim at court. Otherwise, it can be a way of engaging alternative dispute resolution in the case, early enough to settle matters before costs are run-up, or give the creditor the opportunity to use tactics to put the risk of having to pay a proportion of the creditor’s costs on the debtor. Part 7 proceedings are more suitable for matters in relation to which there may be more likelihood of it being argued by the debtor that there is a dispute over there being a “debt” in the first place. There may also be arguments over a right to offset against what is owed, or a genuine cross or counter-claim which can also have sway. If the debtor fails to act following the LBA, the next step would usually be to issue court proceedings. Once a claim is issued, and upon allocation to track, if the value of a claim is £10,000 or less, it will most likely be allocated to the Small Claims Track and, generally, costs will not be recoverable by the winning party from the loser (unless there is a contractual right to recover costs). If the value of a claim exceeds £10,000, a claim will be allocated to either the Fast Track or the Multi Track, under which tracks costs are recoverable by the winning party from the loser. Enforcement At this time The Ministry of Justice has advised that all bailiffs must follow the Government’s guidance during the pandemic. As a result, they have advised that bailiffs suspend all in-person visits. The High Court Enforcement Officers Association states that all High Court Enforcement Officers (“HCEO”) members are also following this guidance. Other methods of enforcement are still available, such as third party debt orders and charging orders. Practical tips for Creditors - Consider sending LBAs sooner in the credit-control process; - Ensure contact details for customers are up-to-date, obtaining an email address where possible; - If an agreement cannot be reached creditors should still consider taking legal action to avoid any delays caused by a post-lockdown bottleneck.

This is not a political post even though that comes into it. I was born and raised in England, when I was young we had a Socialist Government. My Dad was into politics, he enjoyed the debate (much to my mums disgust) and wanted to do what he could in his work and living situations. So he was a member of the Labour Party. From what I can see, its not the same party now, much the same as here in the States, traditional values have changed. He was a union man. In his day the unions brought very necessary change to the lives of factory workers. Safety for machines that had often left people maimed due to lack of guards when they were needed. Accidents that could be prevented. No one though of suing back then, they fought to change things and make them better. Most of us started work at 14 or 15 years old but the old child labour laws had changed, so that children did not have to work in factories any longer. Going back to my genealogy children of 4 years old helped their parents to work from home. The women in my area were "plaiters" they plaited straw for the hat industry. A lot of women in my parents day did "Homework".......I know mum did several jobs from home. One I recall was putting birthday cards into the plastic sleeves or something like that, putting a card with an envelope and they got paid by the amount that they did. My Aunt Sally made hats. Putting feathers on them. Back then everyone wore hats. Under the Labour Party many things were run by the government. That would never be popular here in the States. However, there were some advantages. The BBC ran the airwaves and one had a licence to own a TV or Radio. No big deal, a small fee. The electricity and Gas were controlled as were public transportation and so in my mind (I was a kid) everything ran smoothly. One put a coin in the meter and got a certain amount of electricity. I remember when someone forgot to put money in and there would be this clunking noise as the lights went out. You would have to search for a coin in the dark or go next door to ask for one. However, everyone had the necessary means to live. Trains and buses went everywhere one did not need a car. Coal and things like that used for fires. All went smoothly. People grew vegetables in their gardens or had an allotment. When this changed and things were privatized so much happened, strikes for more money left us over the winters usually using candles and cooking over a coal fire in the living room. We learned to survive. God help us if the coal man went on strike. The big thing in England was the National Health Care system. A wonderful piece of (?) legislation. Public schools that taught everything imaginable. (even though they had little success in teaching me math or spelling it was not their fault haha.) Now..........to me, a country is not civilized if it does not give it's people health care from cradle to grave. Yes one pays higher taxes but few do not get back more than they pay in. You can opt out and pay insurance for private care always. People who live there complain. People always complain. You don't have to die because you cant go to the doctors though and throughout Europe you will see that most all countries have some form of health care far superior to the USA. I could go on. Doctors who made house calls. Midwives. Free dental and optical. If you could not pay, then free burial. The schools are free and superior to any here. Higher education as well. So now.............here we are with a president who is taking away the most basic human rights for us living in the USA that is supposed to be the leader in the free world. What a joke that is. To increase his military budget he is taking away things like free school lunches, when sometimes that is the only good meal the child gets. Meals on wheels for the elderly. It will be a step back for us. The public schools are in a mess now and the teachers are beside themselves. Please read this Michelle Charland I can't help but have tears in my eyes and pain in my stomach. I've loved and taught too many children over the past 20 years to stand back and watch our education system get torn apart!! Please call your Representative and tell them to vote No on House Bill 10. Our children deserve better than this!!!!!! "To. Yes, there are all of these programs happening in our education system, in addition to just academics. I was not going to get political but here we are. The situation with health care could leave millions without insurance and those who have pre-existing conditions or in the middle of treatments. What are people supposed to do? Just die? Is that what Trump wants. Sure Obama care may not be perfect. It has helped a lot, but others are paying way more than they can afford. So fix it.............don't do away with it. Face the problems and fix them. Or here's a thought. Universal Health and dental care. Who can afford a dentist. I sure can't. It is a mess...............the greed is overwhelming. Where is the compassion for those less fortunate, yes including immigrants. I know that in England (and Europe) the immigration problem is desperate. They flow in and are welcomed by the government who give them access to health care that they have not worked for or paid in to the system. True. What's the alternative? Let them die? No...........fix the laws that are flawed. Be sure some kind of work is found for them to earn their care. Educate them and move them forwards into society. In America, what happened to bring me your sick and dying, we have become a country of "I got mine, fuck you" (sorry) What is the answer? Free enterprise is great. Becoming wealthy is great. You cant legislate compassion but people can shame them into paying a fair share in taxes with no offshore accounts, no loopholes and instilling into people the fact that the more you have the more is expected of you. Its all about power and possessions. How much money can a person use. Some great men like Bill Gates understands it, he remembers where he came from and there are many many like him, but not enough. This while people like Trump use the laws and loopholes to avoid paying taxes and yet earn billions ever year and are proud that they avoided taxes that go into the national budget to help those less fortunate. That is morally and ethically wrong to me. When some have billions that they will never ever spend, nor will their kids or grandkids, and refuse to give up anything to help the homeless. Shame one them. It does not matter if anyone "deserves" to be helped, it's not something that one should judge. You don't know their story. That brings me to this, mental health. When the State Hospitals were closed nothing replaced them. Now people are out there (with guns) and no help because they cant afford the health care. Yet, the laws change so that even the mentally ill can purchase a gun or at least that is what it is coming to. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE IN IT? This president is also at war with the environment, destruction of the planet is fine by him. All that has been done to protect the public lands and animals, all in danger of being undone by one man who is the epitome of greed. Worse yet are the people who follow him. Sorry, no nice pictures in this post. I could go on but will leave it at that. ><< Thursday, March 16, 2017 Compassion................... 2 comments:. Merle............ Very well said Janice!!! I just hope everything gets turned around for the better! I really feel for the United States people right now!!

\section{Nonparametric consistency proofs}\label{section:consistency_proof} In this appendix, I (i) present technical lemmas for regression, unconditional mean embeddings, and conditional mean embeddings; (ii) appeal to these lemmas to prove uniform consistency of dose response curves, incremental response curves, and counterfactual distributions. \subsection{Lemmas} \subsubsection{Regression} Recall classic results for the kernel ridge regression estimator $\hat{\gamma}$ of $\gamma_0(w):=\mathbb{E}(Y|W=w)$. As in Section~\ref{sec:rkhs_main}, $W$ is the concatenation of regressors. Consider the following notation: \begin{align*} \gamma_0&=\argmin_{\gamma\in\mathcal{H}}\mathcal{E}(\gamma),\quad \mathcal{E}(\gamma)=\mathbb{E}[\{Y-\gamma(W)\}^2]; \\ \gamma_{\lambda}&=\argmin_{\gamma\in\mathcal{H}}\mathcal{E}_{\lambda}(\gamma),\quad \mathcal{E}_{\lambda}(\gamma)=\mathcal{E}(\gamma)+\lambda\|\gamma\|^2_{\mathcal{H}}; \\ \hat{\gamma}&=\argmin_{\gamma\in\mathcal{H}}\hat{\mathcal{E}}(\gamma),\quad \hat{\mathcal{E}}(\gamma)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\{Y_i-\gamma(W_i)\}^2+\lambda\|\gamma\|^2_{\mathcal{H}}. \end{align*} \begin{lemma}[Sampling error; Theorem 1 of \cite{smale2007learning}]\label{lemma:sampling} Suppose Assumptions~\ref{assumption:RKHS} and~\ref{assumption:original} hold. Then with probability $1-\delta$, $ \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_{\lambda}\|_{\mathcal{H}}\leq \frac{6 C \kappa_w \ln(2/\delta)}{\sqrt{n}\lambda}. $ \end{lemma} \begin{lemma}[Approximation error; Proposition 3 of \cite{caponnetto2007optimal}] \label{prop:approx_error} Suppose Assumptions~\ref{assumption:original} and~\ref{assumption:smooth_gamma} hold. Then $ \|\gamma_{\lambda}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\leq \lambda^{\frac{c-1}{2}}\sqrt{\zeta}. $ \end{lemma} \begin{lemma}[Regression rate; Theorem D.1 of \cite{singh2020kernel}]\label{theorem:regression} Suppose Assumptions~\ref{assumption:RKHS},~\ref{assumption:original}, and \ref{assumption:smooth_gamma} hold. Then with probability $1-\delta$, $$ \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\leq r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c):=\dfrac{ \sqrt{\zeta}(c+1)}{4^{\frac{1}{c+1}}} \left\{\dfrac{6 C \kappa_w \ln(2/\delta)}{ \sqrt{n\zeta}(c-1)}\right\}^{\frac{c-1}{c+1}}. $$ \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Immediate from triangle inequality using Lemmas~\ref{lemma:sampling} and~\ref{prop:approx_error}. \end{proof} \begin{remark}\label{remark:1} In sample selection problems, I consider $\gamma_0(w)=\mathbb{E}[SY|W=w]$ where $W$ and hence $\kappa_w$ varies. \begin{enumerate} \item Static sample selection \begin{enumerate} \item $\theta_0^{ATE}$, $\theta_0^{DS}$, $\theta_0^{ATT}$: $\kappa_w=\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_x$; \item $\theta_0^{CATE}$: $\kappa_w=\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_v\kappa_x$. \end{enumerate} \item Dynamic sample selection: $\kappa_w=\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_x\kappa_m$. \end{enumerate} \end{remark} \subsubsection{Unconditional mean embedding} Next, I recall classic results for the unconditional mean embedding estimator $\hat{\mu}_w$ for $\mu_w:=\mathbb{E}\{\phi(W)\}$. Let $W$ be a placeholder random variable as in Section~\ref{sec:rkhs_main}. \begin{lemma}[Bennett inequality; Lemma 2 of \cite{smale2007learning}]\label{lemma:prob} Let $(\xi_i)$ be i.i.d. random variables drawn from distribution $\mathbb{P}$ taking values in a real separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{K}$. Suppose there exists $ \tilde{M}$ such that $ \|\xi_i\|_{\mathcal{K}} \leq \tilde{M}<\infty$ almost surely and $ \sigma^2(\xi_i):=\mathbb{E}(\|\xi_i\|_{\mathcal{K}}^2)$. Then $\forall n\in\mathbb{N}, \forall \eta\in(0,1)$, $$ \mathbb{P}\left\{\left\|\dfrac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\xi_i-\mathbb{E}(\xi)\right\|_{\mathcal{K}}\leq\dfrac{2\tilde{M}\ln(2/\eta)}{n}+\sqrt{\dfrac{2\sigma^2(\xi)\ln(2/\eta)}{n}}\right\}\geq 1-\eta. $$ \end{lemma} \begin{lemma}[Mean embedding rate; Theorem D.2 of \cite{singh2020kernel}]\label{theorem:mean} Suppose Assumptions~\ref{assumption:RKHS} and~\ref{assumption:original} hold. Then with probability $1-\delta$, $$ \|\hat{\mu}_w-\mu_w\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{W}}}\leq r_{\mu}(n,\delta):=\frac{4\kappa_w \ln(2/\delta)}{\sqrt{n}}. $$ \end{lemma} I quote a result that appeals to Lemma~\ref{lemma:prob}. \cite[Theorem 15]{altun2006unifying} originally prove this rate by McDiarmid inequality. See \cite[Theorem 2]{smola2007hilbert} for an argument via Rademacher complexity. See \cite[Proposition A.1]{tolstikhin2017minimax} for an improved constant and the proof that the rate is minimax optimal. \begin{remark}\label{remark:2} In various applications, $\kappa_w$ varies. \begin{enumerate} \item Static sample selection. \begin{enumerate} \item $\theta_0^{ATE}$: with probability $1-\delta$, $ \|\hat{\mu}_x-\mu_x\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}}\leq r_{\mu}(n,\delta):=\frac{4\kappa_x \ln(2/\delta)}{\sqrt{n}}. $ \item $\theta_0^{DS}$: with probability $1-\delta$, $ \|\hat{\nu}_x-\nu_x\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}}\leq r_{\nu}(\tilde{n},\delta):=\frac{4\kappa_x \ln(2/\delta)}{\sqrt{\tilde{n}}}. $ \end{enumerate} \item Dynamic sample selection. \begin{enumerate} \item $\theta_0^{ATE}$: with probability $1-\delta$, $\forall d\in\mathcal{D}$ $$ \left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\{\phi(X_i) \otimes \mu_{m}(d,X_i)\}-\int \{\phi(x)\otimes \mu_{m}(d,x)\} \mathrm{d}\mathbb{P}(x)\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes \mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}} \leq r^{ATE}_{\mu}(n,\delta):=\frac{4\kappa_x \kappa_m \ln(2/\delta)}{\sqrt{n}}.$$ \item $\theta_0^{DS}$: with probability $1-\delta$, $\forall d \in\mathcal{D}$ $$ \left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\{\phi(\tilde{X}_{i}) \otimes \mu_{m}(d,\tilde{X}_{i})\}-\int \{\phi(x)\otimes \mu_{m}(d,x)\} \mathrm{d}\tilde{\mathbb{P}}(x)\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes \mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}} \leq r^{DS}_{\nu}(\tilde{n},\delta):=\frac{4\kappa_x\kappa_m \ln(2/\delta)}{\sqrt{\tilde{n}}}.$$ \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate} \end{remark} \subsubsection{Conditional expectation operator and conditional mean embedding} In Sections~\ref{section:static} and~\ref{section:dynamic} as well as Appendix~\ref{section:dist}, I consider the abstract conditonal expectation operator $E_j\in \mathcal{L}_2(\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{A}_j},\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{B}_j})$, where $\mathcal{A}_j$ and $\mathcal{B}_j$ are spaces that can be instantiated for different causal parameters. \begin{lemma}[Conditional mean embedding rate; Theorem 2 of \cite{singh2019kernel}]\label{theorem:conditional} Suppose Assumptions~\ref{assumption:RKHS},~\ref{assumption:original}, and~\ref{assumption:smooth_op} hold. Then with probability $1-\delta$, $$ \|\hat{E}_j-E_j\|_{\mathcal{L}_2}\leq r_E(\delta,n,c_j):=\dfrac{ \sqrt{\zeta_j}(c_j+1)}{4^{\frac{1}{c_j+1}}} \left\{\dfrac{4\kappa_b(\kappa_a+\kappa_b \|E_j\|_{\mathcal{L}_2}) \ln(2/\delta)}{ \sqrt{n\zeta_j}(c_j-1)}\right\}^{\frac{c_j-1}{c_j+1}}. $$ Moreover, $\forall b\in\mathcal{B}_j$ $$ \|\hat{\mu}_a(b)-\mu_a(b)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{A}_j}}\leq r_{\mu}(\delta,n,c_j):=\kappa_{b}\cdot \dfrac{ \sqrt{\zeta_j}(c_j+1)}{4^{\frac{1}{c_j+1}}} \left\{\dfrac{4\kappa_b(\kappa_a+\kappa_b \|E_j\|_{\mathcal{L}_2}) \ln(2/\delta)}{ \sqrt{n\zeta_j}(c_j-1)}\right\}^{\frac{c_j-1}{c_j+1}}. $$ \end{lemma} \begin{remark}\label{remark:3} Note that in various applications, $\kappa_a$ and $\kappa_b$ vary. \begin{enumerate} \item Static sample selection \begin{enumerate} \item $\theta_0^{ATT}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_x$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_d$; \item $\theta_0^{CATE}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_x$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_v$; \end{enumerate} \item Dynamic sample selection: \begin{enumerate} \item $\theta_0^{ATE}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_m$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_d\kappa_x$; \item $\theta_0^{DS}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_m$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_d\kappa_x$; \end{enumerate} \item Counterfactual distributions \begin{enumerate} \item Static $\theta_0^{D:ATE}$, $\theta_0^{D:DS}$, $\theta_0^{D:ATT}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_y$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_s \kappa_d \kappa_x$. \item Static $\theta_0^{D:CATE}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_y$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_s \kappa_d \kappa_v \kappa_x$. \item Dynamic $\theta_0^{D:ATE}$, $\theta_0^{D:DS}$: $\kappa_a=\kappa_y$, $\kappa_b=\kappa_s \kappa_d \kappa_x \kappa_m$. \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate} \end{remark} \subsection{Main results} Appealing to Remarks~\ref{remark:notation},~\ref{remark:1},~\ref{remark:2}, and~\ref{remark:3}, I prove uniform consistency for (i) dose response curves, (ii) incremental response curves, and (iii) counterfactual distributions. \subsubsection{Static sample selection} \begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem~\ref{theorem:consistency_static}] I generalize \cite[Theorem 6.5]{singh2020kernel} to the static sample selection problem. Consider $\theta_0^{ATE}$. \begin{align*} &\hat{\theta}^{ATE}(d)-\theta_0^{ATE}(d) =\langle \hat{\gamma} ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \hat{\mu}_x \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} - \langle \gamma_0 , \phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \mu_x \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &=\langle \hat{\gamma} ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes[\hat{\mu}_x-\mu_x] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} + \langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0], \phi(1)\otimes \phi(d) \otimes \mu_x \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &=\langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0],\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes[\hat{\mu}_x-\mu_x] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &\quad + \langle \gamma_0,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes[\hat{\mu}_x-\mu_x] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}}\\ &\quad+\langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0],\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d) \otimes \mu_x \rangle_{\mathcal{H}}. \end{align*} Therefore by Lemmas~\ref{theorem:regression} and~\ref{theorem:mean}, with probability $1-2\delta$ \begin{align*} &|\hat{\theta}^{ATE}(d)-\theta_0^{ATE}(d)|\leq \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}} \|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}} \|\hat{\mu}_x-\mu_x\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}}\\ &\quad + \|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\|\hat{\mu}_x-\mu_x\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\quad + \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}} \|\mu_x\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\leq \kappa_s\kappa_d \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c) \cdot r_{\mu}(n,\delta)+\kappa_s\kappa_d\cdot\|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}} \cdot r_{\mu}(n,\delta)+\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_x \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c)\\ &=O\left(n^{-\frac{1}{2}\frac{c-1}{c+1}}\right). \end{align*} By the same argument, with probability $1-2\delta$ \begin{align*} &|\hat{\theta}^{DS}(d,\tilde{\mathbb{P}})-\theta_0^{DS}(d,\tilde{\mathbb{P}})| \\ &\leq \kappa_s\kappa_d \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c) \cdot r_{\nu}(\tilde{n},\delta)+\kappa_s\kappa_d\cdot\|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}} \cdot r_{\nu}(\tilde{n},\delta)+\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_x \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c)\\ &=O\left( n^{-\frac{1}{2}\frac{c-1}{c+1}}+\tilde{n}^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right). \end{align*} Next, consider $\theta_0^{ATT}$. \begin{align*} &\hat{\theta}^{ATT}(d,d')-\theta_0^{ATT}(d,d') =\langle \hat{\gamma} ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d')\otimes \hat{\mu}_x(d) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} - \langle \gamma_0 ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d')\otimes \mu_x(d) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &=\langle \hat{\gamma} ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d')\otimes[\hat{\mu}_x(d)-\mu_x(d)] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} + \langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0],\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d') \otimes \mu_x(d) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &=\langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0], \phi(1)\otimes\phi(d')\otimes[\hat{\mu}_x(d)-\mu_x(d)] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &\quad + \langle \gamma_0, \phi(1)\otimes\phi(d')\otimes[\hat{\mu}_x(d)-\mu_x(d)] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}}\\ &\quad +\langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0], \phi(1)\otimes\phi(d') \otimes \mu_x(d) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}}. \end{align*} Therefore by Lemmas~\ref{theorem:regression} and~\ref{theorem:conditional}, with probability $1-2\delta$ \begin{align*} &|\hat{\theta}^{ATT}(d,d')-\theta_0^{ATT}(d,d')| \leq \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d')\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}} \|\hat{\mu}_x(d)-\mu_x(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}}\\ &\quad +\|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d')\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\|\hat{\mu}_x(d)-\mu_x(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\quad + \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d')\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}} \|\mu_x(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\leq \kappa_s\kappa_d \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c) \cdot r_{\mu}^{ATT}(n,\delta,c_1)+\kappa_s\kappa_d\cdot\|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}} \cdot r_{\mu}^{ATT}(n,\delta,c_1) +\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_x \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c) \\ &=O\left(n^{-\frac{1}{2}\frac{c-1}{c+1}}+n^{-\frac{1}{2}\frac{c_1-1}{c_1+1}}\right). \end{align*} Finally, consider $\theta_0^{CATE}$. \begin{align*} &\hat{\theta}^{CATE}(d,v)-\theta_0^{CATE}(d,v)=\langle \hat{\gamma} , \phi(1)\otimes\phi(d)\otimes \phi(v)\otimes \hat{\mu}_{x}(v) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} - \langle \gamma_0 ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d )\otimes \phi(v) \otimes \mu_{x}(v) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &=\langle \hat{\gamma} ,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \phi(v)\otimes[\hat{\mu}_{x}(v)-\mu_{x}(v)] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} + \langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0],\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \phi(v) \otimes \mu_{x}(v) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &=\langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0],\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \phi(v)\otimes[\hat{\mu}_{x}(v)-\mu_{x}(v)] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}} \\ &\quad + \langle \gamma_0,\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \phi(v)\otimes[\hat{\mu}_{x}(v)-\mu_{x}(v)] \rangle_{\mathcal{H}}\\ &\quad +\langle [\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0],\phi(1)\otimes \phi(d)\otimes \phi(v) \otimes \mu_{x}(v) \rangle_{\mathcal{H}}. \end{align*} Therefore by Lemmas~\ref{theorem:regression} and~\ref{theorem:conditional}, with probability $1-2\delta$ \begin{align*} &|\hat{\theta}^{CATE}(d,v)-\theta_0^{CATE}(d,v)|\leq \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\|\phi(v)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{V}}} \|\hat{\mu}_{x}(v)-\mu_{x}(v)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}}\\ &\quad+ \|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\|\phi(v)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{V}}}\|\hat{\mu}_{x}(v)-\mu_{x}(v)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\quad+ \|\hat{\gamma}-\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}}\|\phi(1)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{S}}}\|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\|\phi(v)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{V}}} \|\mu_{x}(v)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\leq \kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_{v} \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c) \cdot r_{\mu}^{CATE}(n,\delta,c_2) +\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_{v}\cdot\|\gamma_0\|_{\mathcal{H}} \cdot r_{\mu}^{CATE}(n,\delta,c_2) +\kappa_s\kappa_d\kappa_{v} \kappa_{x} \cdot r_{\gamma}(n,\delta,c) \\ &=O\left(n^{-\frac{1}{2}\frac{c-1}{c+1}}+n^{-\frac{1}{2}\frac{c_2-1}{c_2+1}}\right). \end{align*} For incremental responses, replace $\phi(d)$ with $\nabla_d \phi(d)$ and hence replace $\|\phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\leq \kappa_d$ with $\|\nabla_d \phi(d)\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{D}}}\leq \kappa_d'$. \end{proof} \subsubsection{Dynamic sample selection} To lighten notation, define \begin{align*} \Delta_p&:=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \{\phi(X_i)\otimes \hat{\mu}_{m}(d,X_i) \}-\int \{\phi(x)\otimes \mu_{m}(d,x) \}\mathrm{d}\mathbb{P}(x), \\ \Delta_q&:=\frac{1}{\tilde{n}}\sum_{i=1}^{\tilde{n}} \{\phi(\tilde{X}_i)\otimes \hat{\nu}_{m}(d,\tilde{X}_i) \}-\int \{\phi(x)\otimes \nu_{m}(d,x) \}\mathrm{d}\tilde{\mathbb{P}}(x). \end{align*} \begin{proposition}\label{prop:delta_p} Suppose Assumptions~\ref{assumption:RKHS} and~\ref{assumption:original} hold. \begin{enumerate} \item If in addition Assumption~\ref{assumption:smooth_op} holds with with $\mathcal{A}_4=\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{B}_4=\mathcal{D}\times \mathcal{X}$ then with probability $1-2\delta$ \begin{align*} &\left\|\Delta_p\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}}\leq \kappa_x \cdot r^{ATE}_{\mu}(n,\delta,c_4)+r^{ATE}_{\mu}(n,\delta). \end{align*} \item If in addition Assumption~\ref{assumption:smooth_op} hold with $\mathcal{A}_5=\mathcal{X}$ and $\mathcal{B}_5=\mathcal{D}\times \mathcal{X}$ then with probability $1-2\delta$ \begin{align*} &\left\|\Delta_q\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}}\leq \kappa_x \cdot r^{DS}_{\nu}(\tilde{n},\delta,c_5)+r^{DS}_{\nu}(\tilde{n},\delta). \end{align*} \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} By triangle inequality, \begin{align*} \left\|\Delta_p\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}} &\leq \left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \{\phi(X_i)\otimes \hat{\mu}_{m}(d,X_i) \}-\{\phi(X_i)\otimes \mu_{m}(d,X_i) \}\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}} \\ &\quad + \left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\{\phi(X_i) \otimes \mu_{m}(d,X_i)\}-\int \{\phi(x)\otimes \mu_{m}(d,x)\} \mathrm{d}\mathbb{P}(x)\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes \mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}}. \end{align*} Focusing on the former term, by Lemma~\ref{theorem:conditional} \begin{align*} &\left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \{\phi(X_i)\otimes \hat{\mu}_{m}(d,X_i) \}-\{\phi(X_i)\otimes \mu_{m}(d,X_i) \}\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}} \\ &=\left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n \phi(X_i) \otimes \{\hat{\mu}_{m}(d,X_i)-\mu_{m}(d,X_i)\} \right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{M}}} \\ &\leq \kappa_x \cdot \sup_{x\in\mathcal{X}}\left\| \hat{\mu}_{m}(d,x)-\mu_{m}(d,x)\right\|_{\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{X}}} \\ &\leq \kappa_x \cdot r^{ATE}_{\mu}(n,\delta,c_4). \end{align*} Focusing on the latter term, by Lemma~\ref{theorem:mean} \begin{align*} \left\|\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\{\phi(X_i) \otimes \mu_{m}(d,X_i)\}-\int

The arguments for other counterfactual distributions are identical. \end{proof}

In all the field theories, the twist generates different planar one-loop contributions to the 2-point function which are at most UV linearly diverging. Some of these theories are free of UV/IR mixing. In the others, UV/IR mixing shows up in non-planar contributions to the 2-point function at exceptional zero external momenta while staying finite at non-zero external momenta. These results are discussed together with the possibility for the KMS weight relative to the quantum space algebra to trigger the appearance of KMS state on the algebra of observables. \end{abstract} \vskip 1 true cm \newpage \section{Introduction.} It is widely believed that the classical notion of space-time is no longer adequate at the Planck scale to reconcile gravity with quantum mechanics. One possible attempt to reach this goal comprises to trade the continuous smooth manifold describing the space-time by a non-commutative (quantum) space \cite{Doplich1}. In this spirit, the $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time appears in the physics literature to be one of the most studied non-commutative spaces with Lie algebra type non-commutativity and is sometimes regarded as a good candidate for a quantum space-time to be involved in a description of quantum gravity at least in some limit. Informally, it may be viewed as the enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $[x_0,x_i]=i\kappa^{-1} x_i,\ [x_i,x_j]=0,\ i,j=1,\cdots, d$, where the deformation parameter $\kappa$ has dimension of a mass. The $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time has been characterized a long time ago in \cite{majid-ruegg} by exhibiting the Hopf algebra bicrossproduct structure of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e quantum algebra \cite{luk1} which (co-)acts covariantly on it and may be viewed as describing its quantum symmetries. A considerable amount of literature has been devoted to the exploration of algebraic aspects related to $\kappa$-Minkowski space and $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra, in particular dealing with concepts inherited from quantum groups \cite{leningrad} as well as (twists) deformations. For a comprehensive recent review, on these algebraic developments, see e.g \cite{luk2} and the references therein. Besides, the possibility to have testable/observable consequences from related phenomenological models has raised a growing interest and resulted in many works dealing for instance with Doubly Special Relativity together with modified dispersion relations and relative locality \cite{ame-ca1,reloc}.\bigskip Once the non-commutative nature of the space-time is assumed, Non-Commutative Field Theories (NCFT) arise naturally. For reviews on early studies, see e.g \cite{dnsw-rev} and references therein. Compared to the ordinary field theories, NCFT have their own salient features. In particular, many efforts have been focused on the exploration of their quantum behavior in order to obtain a good understanding of their renormalisation properties. The renormalisation of NCFT is known to be often a difficult task since most of these theories are non-local, thus precluding the use of the standard machinery controlling the ordinary local field theories. The technical hard points may even be complicated by the possible appearance of the UV/IR mixing, a typical phenomenon of NCFT which spoils renormalisability. For the popular Moyal spaces $\mathbb{R}^4_\theta$ and $\mathbb{R}^2_\theta$ as well as for $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, a deformation of $\mathbb{R}^3$ \cite{lagraa}, it has been shown that this phenomenon and all the technical difficulties can be overcome from different ways within some NCFT as well as some non-commutative gauge models leading to renormalisable (or even finite in some instance) field theories on these quantum spaces \cite{Grosse:2003aj-pc,brol-1,vign-sym,thes-vt,wal-16,poulwal-1,vitwal2,vitwal1} and outlining the deep relationship between NCFT and matrix models \cite{Wallet:2007c,matrix1,matrix2}. Recall that the 4-d Moyal space can be viewed {\it{informally}} as $\mathbb{C}[x_\mu]/\mathcal{R}$, the quotient of the free algebra generated by 4 hermitean coordinates $(x_\mu)_{\mu=1,...,4}$ by the relation $\mathcal{R}$ defined by $[x_\mu,x_\nu]=i\theta_{\mu\nu}$ where $\theta_{\mu\nu}$ is a skew symmetric constant tensor. This deformation of $\mathbb{R}^4$ can be described as a (suitable) algebra of functions on $\mathbb{R}^4$ equipped with the popular Moyal product \cite{groen,Moyal} obtained from the Wigner-Weyl quantization scheme. For various presentations of the Moyal product, see e.g \cite{dnsw-rev}. The non-commutative $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, another example of space with Lie algebra type non-commutativity, as the $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time also is, can be viewed {\it{informally}} as related to the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{su}(2)$, $U(\mathfrak{su}(2))\simeq\mathbb{C}[x_i]/\mathcal{R}'$, where the relation $\mathcal{R}'$ is defined by $[x_i,x_j]=i\varepsilon_{ijk}x_k$. For various derivations of star products related to $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, see e.g \cite{lagraa,poulwal-1} and references therein. Note that these non-commutative spaces share a common underlying structure, each one being related to a group algebra. This latter corresponds, in the Moyal case, to the algebra for the Heisenberg group, which actually underlies the Weyl quantization, as it will be recalled below. For the space $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, it is the convolution algebra of $SU(2)$, which has been shown to play an essential role in originating the special properties of $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$ \cite{vitwal1,vitwal2,wal-16}. In the case of $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time, the relevant group algebra is the convolution algebra of the affine group as it will be shown below.\bigskip An important question to address is the fate of the symmetries of a non-commutative space-time. This has triggered a lot of works using various approaches which basically depend if one insists on preserving (almost all) the classical symmetries or if one considers deformed ones. For instance in \cite{Doplich1} the attention was focused on preserving the classical (undeformed) Lorentz or Poincar\'e symmetries for the Moyal space, as well as in \cite{dabrow} for $\kappa$-Minkowski space. In this latter work, the authors ensures classical covariance of $\kappa$-Minkowski space starting from a generalised version of it introduced in \cite{luk3}, i.e. $[x_\mu,x_\nu]=i\kappa^{-1}(v_\mu x_\nu - v_\nu x_\mu)$. They show that, under some assumptions, deformed (quantum) symmetries are not the only viable and consistent solution for treating such models. Note however that the original $\kappa$-Minkowski space \eqref{kappa-alg-d} (which we consider in this paper) does not fit in that description and breaks the classical relativity principle. This leads us to the other approach widely studied in the literature, namely the extension of the usual notion of Lie algebra symmetries to the one of (deformed) Hopf algebra symmetries aiming to encode the new (canonical) symmetries for the quantum space-times. This point of view is motivated by the fact that, in the commutative case, the Minkowski space-time can be regarded as the homogeneous space the Poincar\'e symmetry group acts on transitively. Hence, a deformation of the former should (in principle) implies a deformation of the latter and vice versa. This idea underlies the original derivation of $\kappa$-Minkowski as the homogeneous space associated to $\kappa$-Poincar\'e \cite{majid-ruegg}. Another interesting exemple (to put in perspective with \cite{Doplich1}) is given in \cite{chaichian}, where it is shown that the symmetries for the Moyal space can be obtained through formal (Drinfeld) twist deformation of the Lorentz sector of the Poincar\'e algebra while translation remains undeformed. General discussions on the fate of the Poincar\'e symmetries within the context of non-commutative (or quantum) space-times can be found in \cite{GAC2002:2} and references therein.\bigskip NCFT on $\kappa$-Minkowski space have received a lot of interest from a long time, see for instance \cite{ital-1,habsb-imp,kappa-star1,hrvat-1}, but amazingly their quantum properties are not so widely explored, compared to the present status of the above mentioned NCFT. Nevertheless, the UV/IR mixing within some scalar field theories on $\kappa$-Minkowski has been examined a long time ago in \cite{gross-whl} and found to possibly occur. The corresponding analysis was based on a star product for the $\kappa$-deformation derived in \cite{star-spunz} from a general relationship between the Kontsevich formula and the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) formula that can be conveniently used when the non-commutativity is of Lie algebra type \cite{ypa}. NCFT considered in \cite{gross-whl} was $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant, which is a physically reasonable requirement, keeping in mind the important role played by the Poincar\'e invariance in ordinary field theories together with the fact that $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra can be viewed as describing the quantum symmetries of the $\kappa$-Minkowski space-time. \bigskip It turns out that a very convenient star product for $\kappa$-Minkowski space can be obtained from a mere adaptation of the initial Wigner-Weyl quantization scheme which gives rise to the popular Moyal product. This can be illustrated schematically as follows. Recall that one important feature of this scheme is the notion of ``twisted convolution" of two functions{\footnote{with $f,g\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)$.}} $f$ and $g$ on the phase space $\mathbb{R}^2$, that we denote by $f\bullet g$, whose explicit expression was first given by von Neumann \cite{jvn}. This product is defined by $W(f\bullet g)=W(f)W(g)$ where $W(f)$ is the Weyl operator given by $W(f)=\int d\xi_1d\xi_2\ e^{i(\xi_1P+\xi_2Q)}f(\xi_1,\xi_2)$ in which the unitary operator in the integrand can be viewed as an element of the unimodular Heisenberg group{\footnote{To see that, use e.g the Glauber formula to reproduce the usual composition law for elements of the Heisenberg group.}}, obtained by exponentiating the Heisenberg algebra, says $[P,Q]=i\theta$ where $\theta$ is central. From this follows directly the Moyal product defining the deformation of $\mathbb{R}^2$. It is defined by $f\star g=\mathcal{F}^{-1}(\mathcal{F}f\bullet\mathcal{F}g)$ where the Weyl quantization map is $Q(f)=W(\mathcal{F}f)$ and $\mathcal{F}f$ is the Fourier transform of $f$.\bigskip The natural extension of the above scheme to the construction of a star product for $\kappa$-Minkowski can then be achieved by simply replacing the Heisenberg group by the non-unimodular affine group as explained below, while $W(f)$ will be replaced by a representation of the convolution algebra of the affine group. Doing this, one can take advantage of the machinery of the harmonic analysis on Lie groups and, in particular, measures involved in action functionals are provided by Haar measures. Note that such a viewpoint has also been intensively used in \cite{vitwal2,wal-16} for $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$, the relevant group being $SU(2)$ reflecting the $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ non-commutativity of the quantum space and has provided the relationship between $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$ and the convolution algebra of $SU(2)$, the determination of the natural measure in the action functionals and by the way clarified the origin of the matrix basis used in \cite{vitwal1}. In the case of $\kappa$-Minkowski space, we note that such a natural construction has already been used in \cite{DS,matas} to derive a star product for a 2-dimensional $\kappa$-Minkowski space and to characterize a related multiplier algebra \cite{DS}. As far as we know, this product was amazingly not further exploited in the study of NCFT on $\kappa$-Minkowski space, despite its relatively simple expression and the associated tools of group harmonic analysis which make him well adapted to the study of quantum field theories. \bigskip The construction of this natural star product defining the $\kappa$-deformation of the 4-d Minkowski space, considered with Euclidean signature in the present work, is presented in the section \ref{section2}. We then study in the section \ref{section3} different classes of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant (complex) scalar field theories on the 4-d $\kappa$-Minkowski space whose commutative limit coincides with the usual $\phi^4$ theory. The kinetic operators are chosen to be square of Dirac operators. Requiring $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance forces the (Lebesgue) integral involved in the actions to be a twisted trace with respect to the star product. This therefore defines a Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) weight on the non-commutative (C*-)algebra modeling the $\kappa$-Minkowski space. The associated modular group and Tomita modular operator are characterized. This is presented in the subsection \ref{section30} where we also discuss the possibility for the above KMS weight together with the associated modular data related on the non-commutative algebra modeling the $\kappa$-Minkowski space to generate the appearance of KMS states on the algebra of observables related to a global (observer-independent) time. The mathematical material as well as technical computations are collected in the appendix \ref{apendixB}.\\ The one-loop contributions to the 2-point functions of each of these theories are computed and their UV and IR behaviors are analyzed. The corresponding material is given in the subsections \ref{section31} and \ref{subsection32}. We find that the twist automorphism related to the twisted trace splits the planar contributions to the 2-point function into different IR finite contributions whose UV behavior is controlled by the twist. These contributions are found to be at most UV linearly diverging, some being UV finite. A part of scalar theories considered in this work cannot give rise to non-planar contributions to the 2-point function so that these theories are expected to be free of UV/IR mixing. Conversely, UV/IR mixing shows up in another class of theories for which we find that the non-planar contributions to the 2-point function, while finite at non zero external momenta, becomes singular at exceptional zero external momenta with polynomial singularity. These results are finally discussed in the section \ref{section4}. \section{$\kappa$-Minkowski space as a group algebra.}\label{section2} \subsection{Convolution algebras and $\kappa$-Minkowski spaces.}\label{section2-1} A convenient presentation of the $\kappa$-Minkowski space can be achieved by exploiting standard objects of the framework of group algebras and (C*-)dynamical systems \cite{dana}. This approach, which has been used in \cite{DS,matas} is the one we mainly follow in this paper. This framework has also been used in recent studies on $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$ spaces \cite{vitwal2,wal-16} related to the convolution algebra of the compact $SU(2)$ Lie group. Here, the relevant group is (related to) the affine group of the real line in the 2-dimensional case, i.e. a semi direct product of the two abelian groups $\mathbb{R}$, which extends in the $(d+1)$-dimensional case to $\mathbb{R}\ltimes_{\phi}\mathbb{R}^d$. We now collect the suitable material for the ensuing analysis.\bigskip First, recall that the $\kappa$-deformation of the Minkowski space can be {\it{informally}} viewed as related to the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ defined by: \begin{equation} [x_0,x_i]=\frac{i}{\kappa}x_i,\ \ [x_i,x_j]=0,\ \ i,j=1,\cdots, d.\label{kappa-alg-d} \end{equation} Here, $\kappa$ is a real number ($\kappa>0$) and the coordinates $x_0,\ x_i$ are assumed to be self-adjoint operators acting on some suitable Hilbert space. It turns out that $\mathfrak{g}$ is solvable. This can be easily deduced from the so-called derived Lie algebra $[\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{g}]$ which is readily seen to be nilpotent. This is equivalent to have solvable $\mathfrak{g}$. Hence the associated Lie group, hereafter denoted by $\mathcal{G}_{d+1}$, is solvable (see e.g Theorem 5.9 of \cite{ypa-2}). We use this property below to characterize the relevant algebra modelling the non-commutative space. \\ Notice that any Lie group of the form $A\ltimes_{\phi}B$, $\phi:A\to \mathrm{Aut}(B)$, where $A$ and $B$ are Abelian connected Lie groups, is solvable and connected (and is simply connected whenever $A$ and $B$ are simply connected). This is the case for $\mathcal{G}_{d+1}=\mathbb{R}\ltimes_{\phi}\mathbb{R}^d$, relevant to describe the $(d+1)$-dimensional $\kappa$-Minkowski spaces. This group is not unimodular signaling the existence of distinct left and right-invariant Haar measures, denoted respectively by $d\mu$ and $d\nu$. They are related by the modular function of $\mathcal{G}_d$, a continuous group homomorphism $\Delta_{\mathcal{G}_{d+1}}:\mathcal{G}_{d+1}\to\mathbb{R}^+_{/0}$, by $d\nu(s)=\Delta_{\mathcal{G}_{d+1}}(s^{-1})d\mu(s)$ for any $s\in\mathcal{G}_{d+1}$.\bigskip For the moment, we assume $d=1$, the extension to $d=3$ is straightforward and will be exploited below. $\mathcal{G}_2$ is known to be the orientation-preserving affine group of the real line, i.e. the ``$(ax+b)$-group", $a>0$, widely studied in the mathematical literature. For basic mathematical details, see e.g \cite{dana,khalil} and references therein. For our present purpose, this (non-abelian simply connected) Lie group can be conveniently characterized by defining \begin{equation} W(p^0,p^1):=e^{ip^1x_1}e^{ip^0x_0}\label{group-elem}, \end{equation} where $p^0,\ p^1\in\mathbb{R}$ can be interpreted as momenta. The group elements \eqref{group-elem} are related to the more traditional exponential form of the Lie algebra \eqref{kappa-alg-d} through a mere redefinition of $p^1$. Indeed, by using in \eqref{group-elem} the simplified BCH formula $e^Xe^Y=e^{\lambda(u)X+Y}$, valid whenever $[X,Y]=uX$, see \cite{vanbrunt}, where $\lambda(u)=\frac{ue^u}{e^u-1}$, one obtains $W(p^0,p^1)=e^{i(p^0x_0+\lambda(\frac{p^0}{\kappa})p^1x_1)}$. However, \eqref{group-elem} is easier to manipulate for the ensuing computations. Now, upon using $e^Xe^Y=e^{Y}e^{e^uX}$ which holds true when again $[X,Y]=uX$, one obtains from \eqref{group-elem} the group product on $\mathcal{G}_2$ given by \begin{equation} W(p^0,p^1)W(q^0,q^1)=W(p^0+q^0,p^1+e^{-p^0/\kappa}q^1).\label{grouplaw} \end{equation} The unit element and inverse are respectively given by \begin{equation} \bbone_{G}=W(0,0),\ W^{-1}(p^0,p^1)=W(-p^0,-e^{p^0/\kappa}p^1)\label{group-unit-invers}. \end{equation} At this point, some remarks are in order. \begin{itemize} \item {First, observe that the usual composition law for the $(ax+b)$-group can be obtained from \eqref{grouplaw} by representing the group elements \eqref{group-elem} as \begin{equation} W(p^0,b)=\begin{pmatrix}e^{-p^0/\kappa}&b\\0&1\end{pmatrix} \end{equation} and setting $a:=e^{-p^0/\kappa}$. That latter rewriting exhibits clearly the semi-direct product structure of $\mathcal{G}_2$ as \begin{equation} \mathcal{G}_2=\mathbb{R}^+_{/0}\ltimes_{\check{\phi}}\mathbb{R},\label{semi-dir} \end{equation} with $\check{\phi}:\mathbb{R}^+_{/0}\to\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{R})$ being given by the adjoint action of $\mathbb{R}^+_{/0}$ on $\mathbb{R}$. Indeed, the identifications $a\mapsto (a,0)$ and $b\mapsto (1,b)$ yield respectively the factors $\mathbb{R}^+_{/0}$ and $\mathbb{R}$ appearing in \eqref{semi-dir} while the action $\check{\phi}$, defined by $\check{\phi}(a)b=(a,0)(1,b)(a^{-1},0)$, is reflected at the level of \eqref{grouplaw} in \begin{equation} \phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{R}),\qquad \phi(p^0)q=e^{-p^0/\kappa}q . \label{autom} \end{equation} } \item {Next, note that the energy-momentum composition law is essentially given by the BCH formula for the Lie group underlying the non-commutative space-times whose algebras of coordinates are of Lie algebra type. This is the case for $\kappa$-Minkowski, see eqn. \eqref{kappa-alg-d}, as well as for the Moyal plane (resp. $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$) whose algebra of coordinate operators is given by the Heisenberg algebra $[x_\mu,x_\nu]=i\theta$ (resp. $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ algebra $[x_\mu,x_\nu]=i\lambda\varepsilon_{\mu\nu}^{\hspace{9pt}\rho} x_\rho$). Here, the composition law can be directly read from \eqref{grouplaw} and reflects the non trivial coproduct structure of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra, see \eqref{hopf1}. } \end{itemize} Let $\pi_U:\mathcal{G}_2\to\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ denote a (strongly continuous) unitary representation of $\mathcal{G}_2$ where $\mathcal{H}$ is some suitable Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ is the (C*-)algebra of bounded operators on $\mathcal{H}$. A star product defining the 2-dimensional $\kappa$-Minkowski space can be obtained in a way similar to the usual Weyl quantization leading to the construction of Moyal product on the Moyal plane $\mathbb{R}^2_\theta$, see \cite{hennings}, the Heisenberg algebra and Heisenberg group being replaced now by \eqref{kappa-alg-d} and $\mathcal{G}_2$ \eqref{semi-dir} respectively. Accordingly, it is convenient to start from $L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)$, the convolution algebra of $\mathcal{G}_2$. Recall that it is a $^*$-algebra made of the set of integrable complex-valued functions on $\mathcal{G}_2$ with respect to some Haar measure equipped with the related convolution product{\footnote{Recall that $L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)$ is isomorphic to the completion w.r.t. the norm $||f||_1=\int_{\mathcal{G}_2}d\nu(s)f(s)$ of the algebra of compactly supported complex-valued functions on $\mathcal{G}_2$.}}. From now on, it will be assumed to be the right-invariant measure. Accordingly, the convolution product is defined by $(f\circ g)(t)=\int_{\mathcal{G}_2}d\nu(s)\ f(ts^{-1})g(s)$ for any $t\in\mathcal{G}_2$, $f, g\in{L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)}$. The involutive structure of the algebra can be ensured by any element of the one-parameter family of involutions defined $\forall t\in\mathcal{G}_2$ by $f^*(t):=\bar{f}(t^{-1})\Delta_{\mathcal{G}_2}^\alpha(t)$, $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. It turns out that the choice $\alpha=1$, assumed from now on, ensures that any representation of the convolution algebra defined for any $f\in{L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)}$ by \begin{equation} \pi:L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)\to \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}),\quad \pi(f)=\int_{\mathcal{G}_2}d\nu(s)f(s)\pi_U(s),\label{unireps} \end{equation} is a non-degenerate $^*$-representation. Indeed, a simple computation yields \begin{equation} \langle u,\pi(f)^\dag v\rangle=\langle \pi(f)u,v\rangle=\int_{\mathcal{G}_2}d\nu(s)\bar{f}(s)\langle u,\pi_U(s^{-1})v \rangle,\label{equai} \end{equation} where anti-linearity of the Hilbert product $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$ and unitary property of $\pi_U$ have been used. Note that in \eqref{equai} the symbol $^\dag$ denotes the adjoint operation acting on operators, the nature of the various involutions should be obvious from the context. On the other hand, one computes \begin{equation} \langle u,\pi(f^*) v\rangle=\int_{\mathcal{G}_2}d\nu(s)\Delta_{\mathcal{G}_2}^\alpha(s)\bar{f}(s^{-1})\langle u,\pi_U(s)v\rangle,\label{equaii} \end{equation} which combined with the relation $d\nu(s^{-1})=\Delta_{\mathcal{G}_2}(s)d\nu(s)$ is equal to \eqref{equai} provided $\alpha=1$.\bigskip To summarize: \begin{equation} \pi(f)^\dag=\pi(f^*), \end{equation} and one can easily check that \begin{equation} \pi(f\circ g)=\pi(f)\pi(g), \label{alg-morph-conv} \end{equation} for any $f, g\in{L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)}$. \subsection{Quantization map and star product.}\label{2-2} Let $\mathcal{F}f(p^0,p^1):=\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}dx_0dx_1e^{-i(p^0x_0+p^1x_1)}f(x_0,x_1)$ be the Fourier transform of $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)$. In the following, $\mathcal{S}_c$ denotes the space of Schwartz functions on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with compact support in the first variable.\bigskip The quantization map is defined \cite{DS,matas} upon identifying functions on $\mathcal{G}_2$ with functions on $\mathbb{R}^2$ in view of \eqref{group-elem}-\eqref{group-unit-invers}. Namely, for any $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)\cap\mathcal{F}^{-1}(L^1(\mathbb{R}^2))$, we define \begin{equation} Q(f):=\pi(\mathcal{F}f),\label{quantizmap} \end{equation} where $\pi$ is the representation given by \eqref{unireps}. Notice that in view of \eqref{group-elem}, functions involved in the convolution product and involution map defined above are interpreted as Fourier transforms of functions of space-time coordinates. Hence, the occurrence of $\mathcal{F}f$ in the RHS of \eqref{quantizmap}. Then, since $Q$ must be a morphism of algebra, one writes \begin{equation} Q(f\star g)=Q(f)Q(g)=\pi(\mathcal{F}f)\pi(\mathcal{F}g)=\pi(\mathcal{F}f\circ\mathcal{F}g)\label{intermed1} \end{equation} where \eqref{alg-morph-conv} has been used to obtain the last equality in \eqref{intermed1}, which compared with $Q(f\star g)=\pi(\mathcal{F}(f\star g))$ stemming from \eqref{quantizmap} and using the non-degeneracy of \eqref{unireps}, yields \begin{equation} f\star g=\mathcal{F}^{-1}(\mathcal{F}f\circ\mathcal{F}g)\label{star prod-gene}, \end{equation} where $\mathcal{F}^{-1}$ is the inverse Fourier transform on $\mathbb{R}^2$. In the same way, the requirement for $Q$ to be a $^*$-morphism yields \begin{equation} f^\dag=\mathcal{F}^{-1}(\mathcal{F}(f)^*)\label{involgen}. \end{equation} Note that both the star product and the involution are representation independent despite the fact that the quantization map $Q$ depends on $\pi$. Finally, by using the fact that the right-invariant measure on $\mathcal{G}_2$ is $d\nu(p^0,p^1)=dp^0dp^1$, i.e. the Lebesgue measure, with the modular function given by \begin{equation} \Delta_{\mathcal{G}_2}(p^0,p^1)=e^{p^0/\kappa},\label{modul-2d} \end{equation} and combining the definition of the right-convolution product given above with eqns. \eqref{group-elem}-\eqref{group-unit-invers}, a simple calculation yields, for any $f,g\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$, \begin{equation} (f\star g)(x_0,x_1)=\int \frac{dp^0}{2\pi} dy_0\ e^{-iy_0p^0}f(x_0+y_0,x_1)g(x_0,e^{-p^0/\kappa}x_1) \label{starpro}, \end{equation} with $f\star g\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$, and \begin{equation} f^\dag(x_0,x_1)= \int \frac{dp^0}{2\pi} dy_0\ e^{-iy_0p^0}{\bar{f}}(x_0+y_0,e^{-p^0/\kappa}x_1),\ \ f^\dag\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)\label{invol}, \end{equation} which coincide with the star product and involution of \cite{DS,matas}. \bigskip \noindent At this point, some comments are in order. \begin{itemize} \item First, it is instructive to get more insight on $C^*(\mathcal{G}_2)$, the C$^*$-algebra which models the $\kappa$-Minkowski space. Indeed, the completion of $L^1(\mathcal{G}_2)$ with respect to the norm related to the left regular representation on $L^2(\mathcal{G}_2)$ yields the reduced group C$^*$-algebra, $C^*_{red}(\mathcal{G}_2)$. Furthermore, since $\mathcal{G}_2$ is amenable as any solvable (locally compact) group, one has $C^*_{red}(\mathcal{G}_2)\simeq C^*(\mathcal{G}_2)$, involving as dense $^*$-subalgebra the set of Schwartz functions with compact support equipped with the above convolution product. \item Eqns. \eqref{starpro} and \eqref{invol} can be extended \cite{DS} to (a subalgebra of) the multiplier algebra{\footnote{It involves the smooth functions on $\mathbb{R}^2$ satisfying standard polynomial bounds together with all the derivatives, with Fourier transform having compact support in the first variable.}} of $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ involving in particular $x_0$ and $x_1$ and the unit function. From \eqref{starpro} and \eqref{invol}, one easily obtains \begin{equation} x_0\star x_1=x_0x_1+\frac{i}{\kappa}x_1,\ x_1\star x_0=x_0x_1,\ x_\mu^\dag=x_\mu,\ \mu=1,2\label{def-relations}, \end{equation} consistent with the defining relation \eqref{kappa-alg-d} (for $d=1$). \end{itemize} The extension of the above construction to the 4-dimensional case is straightforward. Indeed, the group law becomes now $W(p^0,\vec{p})W(q^0,\vec{q})=W(p^0+q^0,\vec{p}+e^{-p^0/\kappa}\vec{q})$ with $W(p^0,\vec{p}):=e^{ip^ix_i}e^{ip^0x_0}$, $\vec{p}=(p^i,\ i=1,2,3)$ and $W^{-1}(p^0,\vec{p})=W(-p^0,-e^{p^0/\kappa}\vec{p})$. This entails the semi-direct product structure $\mathcal{G}_4=\mathbb{R}\ltimes_{\phi}\mathbb{R}^3$ where $\phi$ is still given by \eqref{autom}. Then, the construction leading to \eqref{starpro} and \eqref{invol} can be thoroughly reproduced, replacing $\mathbb{R}^2$ by $\mathbb{R}^4$ and \eqref{modul-2d} by \begin{equation} \Delta_{\mathcal{G}_4}(p^0,\vec{p})=e^{3p^0/\kappa}\label{modul-4d}. \end{equation} Setting for short $x:=(x_0,\vec{x})$, one obtains \begin{align} (f\star g)(x)&=\int \frac{dp^0}{2\pi} dy_0\ e^{-iy_0p^0}f(x_0+y_0,\vec{x})g(x_0,e^{-p^0/\kappa}\vec{x}) \label{starpro-4d},\\ f^\dag(x)&= \int \frac{dp^0}{2\pi} dy_0\ e^{-iy_0p^0}{\bar{f}}(x_0+y_0,e^{-p^0/\kappa}\vec{x})\label{invol-4d}, \end{align} for any functions $f,g\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ and one still has $f\star g\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ and $f^\dag\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$. Here, $\mathcal{S}_c$ is now the set of Schwartz functions of $\mathbb{R}^4$ with compact support in the $p^0$ variable. Of course, comments similar to the one given above for $C^*(\mathcal{G}_2)$ and \eqref{def-relations} apply to the 4-dimensional case on which we focus in the rest of this paper. Notice that the functions in $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ are by construction analytic in the variable $x_0$, being Fourier transforms of functions with compact support in the variable $p^0$, thanks to the Paley-Wiener theorem.\bigskip For the ensuing discussion, it will be sufficient to consider the algebra $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ unless otherwise stated, which will be denoted hereafter by $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. \subsection{$\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant actions.}\label{section22} In this section, we discuss general properties shared by $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant action functionals for complex-valued scalar fields, denoted generically by $S_\kappa(\phi)$.\\ Let $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ denote the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra. We will demand that the action functional $S_\kappa(\phi)$ obeys the following two conditions: \begin{enumerate} \item $S_\kappa(\phi)$ is $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$-invariant which is expressed as \begin{equation} h\triangleright S_\kappa(\phi)=\epsilon(h)S_\kappa(\phi),\label{invarquant} \end{equation} for any $h$ in the Hopf algebra $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ where $\epsilon$ is the co-unit of $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ (see appendix \ref{apendixA}), \item $S_\kappa(\phi)$ reduces to the standard $\phi^4$ scalar field theory in the commutative limit $\kappa\to\infty$. \end{enumerate} Recall that $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ has a natural action on $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ which informally may be viewed as the action of a quantum symmetry on the corresponding quantum (non-commutative) space modelled by $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$, reflecting the fact that the algebra $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ is a left-module over the Hopf algebra $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$. A convenient presentation of $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ can be obtained from the 11 elements $(P_i, N_i,M_i, \mathcal{E},\mathcal{E}^{-1})$, $i=1,2,3$, which are respectively the momenta, the boost and the rotations together with the invertible element \begin{equation} \mathcal{E}:=e^{-P_0/\kappa},\label{Erond} \end{equation} to be discussed at length in a while. The relations between these elements which characterize the Hopf algebra structure together with the duality between the Hopf subalgebra describing the ``deformed translation algebra" and the $\kappa$-Minkowski space are presented in the appendix \ref{apendixA} for the sake of completeness.\bigskip Going back to the condition a), it is known that the invariance of $S_\kappa(\phi)$ under $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ is automatically achieved by considering action functionals of the form \begin{equation} S_\kappa(\phi)=\int d^4x\ \mathcal{L}(\phi),\label{weight} \end{equation} where $\phi\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ so that $\mathcal{L}(\phi)\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ in view of \eqref{starpro}. Indeed, by using \eqref{left-module0}-\eqref{left-modules1bis}, one has plainly \begin{equation} P_\mu\triangleright S_\kappa(\phi):=\int d^4x\ P_\mu \triangleright \mathcal{L}(\phi)=0,\ \ M_i\triangleright S_\kappa(\phi):=\int d^4x\ M_i \triangleright \mathcal{L}(\phi)=0, \end{equation} while \begin{equation} \mathcal{E}\triangleright S_\kappa(\phi):=\int d^4x\ \mathcal{E}\triangleright \mathcal{L}(\phi)=S_\kappa(\phi) \end{equation} where the last equality stems from the Cauchy theorem. Next, one obtains from \eqref{left-module2} \begin{equation} N\triangleright S_\kappa(\phi):=\int d^4x\ ([\frac{\kappa}{2}L_{x_i}(\mathcal{E}-\mathcal{E}^{-1})+L_{x_0}P_i\mathcal{E}+L_{x_i}\vec{P}^2\mathcal{E}])\triangleright \mathcal{L}(\phi). \end{equation} By using \eqref{left-module0}, \eqref{left-module1}, one easily checks that the last two terms in the right hand side vanish as integrals of total derivative of Schwartz functions while the 2 contributions of the first term balance each other thanks to the Cauchy theorem.\bigskip For further use, we quote useful formulas \begin{align} \int d^4x\ (f\star g^\dag)(x)&=\int d^4x\ f(x){\bar{g}}(x),\label{algeb-1}\\ \int d^4x\ f^\dag(x)&=\int d^4x\ {\bar{f}}(x),\label{int-form1} \end{align} stemming from mere changes of variables and the use of the Cauchy theorem as it can be easily verified. We note that a mere consequence of \eqref{algeb-1} is \begin{equation} \int d^4x\ f\star f^\dag\ge0,\ \ \int d^4x\ f^\dag\star f\ge0,\label{positivity} \end{equation} thus defining two positive maps $\int d^4x:\mathcal{M}_{\kappa+}\to \mathbb{R}^+$ where $\mathcal{M}_{\kappa+}$ denotes the set of positive elements of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$.\bigskip It turns out that the Lebesgue integral does not define a trace. Indeed, a simple computation yields \begin{equation} \int d^4x\ f\star g=\int d^4x\ (\sigma\triangleright g)\star f\label{twistrace}, \end{equation} where we define for further convenience \begin{equation} \sigma\triangleright f:=\mathcal{E}^3\triangleright f=e^{-\frac{3P_0}{\kappa}}\triangleright f\label{twistoperator}, \end{equation} in which $\mathcal{E}$ is given by \eqref{Erond}. Hence, the Lebesgue integral cannot define a trace since cyclicity is lost in view of \eqref{twistrace}. Instead, it defines a twisted trace. \bigskip Recall that a twisted trace (on an algebra) is defined in the mathematical literature as a linear positive map $\textrm{Tr}$ satisfying $\textrm{Tr}(a\star b)=\textrm{Tr}((\sigma\triangleright b)\star a)$, where $\sigma$ is an automorphism of the algebra called the twist. This is verified by the Lebesgue integral in view of \eqref{positivity}, \eqref{twistrace} where the corresponding twist is explicitly given by \eqref{twistoperator}, which will be discussed in the subsection \ref{section30}. This loss of cyclicity has often been considered as a troublesome feature of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant field theories, this having probably discouraged the pursue of many studies of their properties at the quantum level.\bigskip However, whenever there is a twisted trace, there is a related KMS condition (up to additional technical requirements that will not be essential for the ensuing discussion), a fact that is known in the mathematical literature. The relevant technical material needed for the discussion is presented in the appendix \ref{apendixB}. In the subsection \ref{section30}, we discuss some possible consequences of this KMS condition on field theories on $\kappa$-Minkowski space. In the subsections \ref{section31} and \ref{subsection32}, we construct a family of scalar field theories on 4-d $\kappa$-Minkowski space and study the UV and IR behaviour of the corresponding 2-point functions at one-loop order. \section{Scalar field theories on 4-d $\kappa$-Minkowski space.}\label{section3} \subsection{Trading cyclicity for KMS condition.}\label{section30} To see that the Lebesgue integral actually defines a twisted trace, one key observation is to notice that \eqref{twistrace} and \eqref{twistoperator} can be interpreted as a KMS weight on $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ for the group of $^*$-automorphisms of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ defined by \begin{equation} \sigma_t(f):=e^{it\frac{3P_0}{\kappa}}\triangleright f=e^{\frac{3t}{\kappa}\partial_0}\triangleright f, \label{sigmat-modul} \end{equation} for any $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. This group of automorphisms is called the modular group for the KMS weight{\footnote{Roughtly speaking, a weight differs only from a state by an overall normalisation.}}. The corresponding mathematical details, technical computations and related references are collected in the appendix \ref{apendixB}. \\ The modular group, whose \eqref{sigmat-modul} is an example, is at the corner stone of the Modular Theory of Tomita-Takesaki, an essential tool in the area of von Neumann algebras. For details, see e.g \cite{takesaki} and references therein. It turns out that one of the initial motivations of Tomita to construct the Modular Theory was related to the harmonic analysis of (locally compact) non-unimodular group, as the one underlying the present study. In particular for these groups, the word ``modular'' refers to the modular function of the group, here \eqref{modul-4d}, while the Tomita modular operator is simply the multiplication by the modular function \eqref{modul-4d}. Recall that Modular Theory, KMS condition and twisted trace are rigidly linked. Hence, it is not surprising that these structures underlie the present framework since the requirement of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance of the action functional fixes the trace involved in it to be twisted. \bigskip To summarize the analysis of appendix \ref{apendixB}, the KMS weight $\varphi$ is simply given by the map \begin{equation} \varphi(f):=\int d^4x\ f(x),\label{varphi} \end{equation} for any $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ which verifies \begin{equation} \varphi(\sigma_t f)=\varphi(f),\ \ \varphi\big((e^{i\frac{3}{2\kappa}\partial_0}\triangleright f)\star(e^{-i\frac{3}{2\kappa}\partial_0}\triangleright f^\dag)\big)=\varphi(f^\dag\star f).\label{defining-properties} \end{equation} These 2 properties are actually defining properties for a KMS weight. Note that the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance is crucial to insure that \eqref{defining-properties} holds true. It follows obviously that any action functional for a $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant theory is related to a KMS weight. Hence, the requirement of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance trades the cyclicity of the trace for a KMS condition.\bigskip Now, from a general theorem (Theorem [6.36] of 1st of ref. \cite{kuster}), one concludes that $\varphi$ must obey a KMS condition. Indeed, one defines{\footnote{ Note that $f_{a,b}(t)$ is continuous and bounded owing to the properties of the star product \eqref{starpro-4d}. As already mentioned at the end of Section \ref{2-2}, analyticity of $f_{a,b}$ stems from the Paley-Wiener theorem.}} \begin{equation} f_{a,b}(t):=\int d^4x\ \sigma_t(a)\star b,\label{eq0} \end{equation} for any $a,b\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. Then, by using the algebraic properties of the twist and $\sigma_t$, one computes \begin{equation} f_{a,b}(t)=\int d^4x\ \sigma_t(a)\star b =\int d^4x\ \sigma_i(b)\star \sigma_t(a) =\int d^4x\ \sigma_i(b\star \sigma_{t-i}(a))=\int d^4x\ b\star \sigma_{t-i}(a).\label{eq1} \end{equation} in which we used \eqref{b10}. From this follows that \begin{equation} f_{a,b}(t+i)=\int d^4x\ b\star \sigma_{t}(a),\label{eq2} \end{equation} which verifies the above mentioned theorem (see appendix \ref{apendixB}). \bigskip As pointed out in the appendix \ref{apendixB}, \eqref{eq0} and \eqref{eq2} represent an abstract version of the KMS condition introduced a long time ago as a tool to characterize equilibrium temperature states of quantum systems in field theory and statistical physics. To see that, set formally $f_{a,b}(t)=\langle \sigma_t(a)\star b\rangle$; then, \eqref{eq1} implies $\langle \sigma_t(a)\star b\rangle=\langle b\star\sigma_{t-i}(a)\rangle$ which bears some formal similarity with the usual form of the KMS condition for the quantum systems. Notice that $\sigma_t$ actually represents a ``time-translation operator" related to the Tomita operator $\Delta_T=e^{3P_0/\kappa}$ via $\sigma_t=(\Delta_T)^{it}$, as shown at the end of the appendix \ref{apendixB}. \bigskip However, in the case of quantum systems or quantum field theory, $f_{A,B}(t)$ corresponds to a correlation function $\langle \Sigma_t(A)B\rangle_{\Omega}$ computed for some (thermal) vacuum $\Omega$ where $A$ and $B$ are now function(al)s (operators) of the fields and $\Sigma_t$ is the (Heisenberg) evolution operator, hence elements pertaining to the algebra of observables of the theory. But whenever a KMS condition holds true on the {\it{algebra of observables of a quantum system or a quantum field theory}}, the flow generated by the modular group, i.e. the Tomita flow, may be used to define a global (observer-independent) time which can be interpreted as the ``physical time". This reflects the deep correspondence between KMS condition and dynamics. This observation underlies the interesting proposal about the thermal origin of time introduced in \cite{ConRove}.\bigskip While it would be tempting to interpret $\sigma_t$ \eqref{sigmat-modul} as defining (or generating) a ``physical time" for the present system, akin to the thermal time mentioned above, no conclusion can yet be drawn. In fact, eqn. \eqref{KMS-abst} linked to the modular group and its associated KMS condition \eqref{eq1}, \eqref{eq2} only holds at the level of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$, the algebra modelling the $\kappa$-Minkowski space. To show that a natural global time can be defined requires to determine if \eqref{eq1}, \eqref{eq2} force a KMS condition to hold true at the level of the algebra of observables. This could be achieved by actually showing the existence of some KMS state(s) on this latter algebra built from the path integral machinery. In view of the possibility to associate to $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant non-commutative field theories a natural global time, a physically appealing property, the implications of the KMS condition \eqref{eq1}, \eqref{eq2} shared by all these theories obviously deserves further study. The full analysis is beyond the scope of the present paper. \bigskip We now pass to the construction of reasonable $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant action functionals and the study of the UV and IR property of their one-loop 2-point functions, adopting the standard viewpoint of the non-commutative field theories, namely representing the non-commutative action functional as an action functional describing non-local commutative field theories. It turns out that the use of the star product introduced in the section \ref{section2} simplifies the computations of the correlation functions. This will be exemplified by explicit computations of 2-point functions in the subsection \ref{subsection32}. We first introduce the main elements of our framework and analyse carefully the corresponding properties. \subsection{Construction of real action functionals.}\label{section31} \subsubsection{Preliminary considerations.}\label{section311} It is convenient to begin by introducing the following Hilbert product on $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ \begin{equation} \langle f,g\rangle:=\int d^4x\left(f^\dag\star g\right)(x)=\int d^4x\ {\bar{f}}(x)(\sigma\triangleright g)(x),\ \forall f,g\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa. \label{hilbert-product} \end{equation} To check that \eqref{hilbert-product} defines actually a Hilbert product, one observes that positivity is apparent from \eqref{positivity} while ${\overline{\langle f,g \rangle}}=\langle g,f \rangle $ stems from \eqref{int-form1} applied to $f^\dag\star g=(g^\dag\star f)^\dag$. Furthermore, the corresponding Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ can be shown to be (unitarily) isomorphic to $L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$, i.e. $\mathcal{H}\simeq L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$. The proof is given in the appendix \ref{apendixC}.\\ One can verify that $P_i$, $i=1,2,3$, and $\mathcal{E}$ are self-adjoint w.r.t. the Hilbert product \eqref {hilbert-product}. Indeed, one computes \begin{align} \langle f,P_i^\dag\triangleright g\rangle&=\langle P_i\triangleright f,g \rangle=-\int d^4x\ (\mathcal{E}^{-1}P_i\triangleright(f^\dag))\star g=-\int d^4x\ (P_i\triangleright(f^\dag))\star (\mathcal{E}\triangleright g)\nonumber\\ &=\int d^4x\ (\mathcal{E}\triangleright(f^\dag))\star (P_i\mathcal{E}\triangleright g)=\int d^4x\ f^\dag\star (P_i\triangleright g)\nonumber\\ &=\langle f,P_i\triangleright g\rangle, \end{align} where we have successively used \eqref{dag-hopfoperat}, the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance \eqref{invarquant}, \eqref{deriv-twist1} and \eqref{relation-calE}. Hence $P_i$ is self-adjoint. Self-adjointness of $P_0$ and $\mathcal{E}$ can be shown similarly.\bigskip In order to construct real action functionals, notice that \eqref{hilbert-product} is $\mathbb{R}$-valued for any $f, g\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ satisfying $\langle f,g\rangle=\langle g,f\rangle $. Hence, reality condition for kinetic term of the form $\langle f,K_\kappa f\rangle$ is automatically verified providing that the kinetic operator $K_\kappa$ (assumed in the following to have dense domain in $\mathcal{H}$) is self-adjoint since this implies $\langle f,K_\kappa f\rangle=\langle K_\kappa f,f\rangle $.\\ We further assume the kinetic operator $K_\kappa$ to be a pseudo-differential operator, i.e. \begin{equation} (K_\kappa f)(x)=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} d^4y\ \mathcal{K}_\kappa(p)f(y)e^{ip(x-y)},\label{pseudoper} \end{equation} for any $f$ in the domain of $K_\kappa$, where $\mathcal{K}_\kappa(p)$ is some rational fraction of $(p^0,\vec{p})$. Note that self-adjointness for $K_\kappa$ requires \begin{equation} {\overline{\mathcal{K}_\kappa}}(p^0,\vec{p})=\mathcal{K}_\kappa(p^0,\vec{p})\label{constr-K}, \end{equation} a condition that will be fulfilled in the situations we will consider below. Indeed, a simple computation yields \begin{equation} \langle f,K_\kappa f\rangle=\int d^4xd^4y\frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4}\ \bar{f}(x)f(y)e^{ip(x-y)}e^{-3p^0/\kappa}\mathcal{K}_\kappa(p^0,\vec{p}),\label{algeb2} \end{equation} while \begin{equation} \langle K_\kappa f,f\rangle=\int d^4xd^4y\frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4}\ \bar{f}(x)f(y)e^{ip(x-y)}e^{-3p^0/\kappa}{\overline{\mathcal{K}_\kappa}}(p^0,\vec{p}),\label{algeb3} \end{equation} proving the above statement.\bigskip We are now in position to construct $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant action functionals $S_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)$ such that \begin{equation}\label{action-limit} \lim_{\kappa\to\infty}S_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)=\int d^4x \left(\bar{\phi}(-\partial_\mu\partial^\mu+m^2)\phi+\lambda\bar{\phi}\phi\bar{\phi}\phi\right)(x),\ \lambda\in\mathbb{R}, \end{equation} i.e. fulfilling the condition b) introduced in the section \ref{section22}. We assume the following usual generic form for the action functionals \begin{equation}\label{star-act} S_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)=S_\kappa^\text{kin}(\phi^\dag,\phi)+S_\kappa^\text{int}(\phi^\dag,\phi), \end{equation} where $S_\kappa^\text{int}(\phi^\dag,\phi)$ is a quartic polynomial in the fields and $S_\kappa^\text{kin}(\phi^\dag,\phi)$ is the kinetic term. For the theories under consideration, the mass dimension for the fields and parameters are respectively $[\phi]=[\phi^\dag]=1$, $[\lambda]=0$ and $[m]=1$. \subsubsection{Derivation of the kinetic term.} Let us first discuss the kinetic term $S_\kappa^\text{kin}(\phi^\dag,\phi)$.\\According to the above discussion, admissible real kinetic terms are of the form \begin{equation} \langle \phi, K_\kappa\phi \rangle,\ \ \langle \phi^\dag,K_\kappa\phi^\dag \rangle,\label{realkineticterm} \end{equation} where $K_\kappa$ is self-adjoint. Its explicit expression will be given in a while. We also incorporate all possible ``mass terms" of similar forms, namely $m^2\langle \phi,\phi \rangle$ and $m^2\langle\phi^\dag,\phi^\dag \rangle$.\bigskip A first natural choice for the kinetic operator is provided by the first Casimir of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$. This latter is given in the Majid-Ruegg basis by \begin{equation} \mathcal{C}_\kappa(P_\mu)=4\kappa^2\sinh^2\left(\frac{P_0}{2\kappa}\right) + e^{P_0/\kappa} \vec{P}^2 \label{Casimir}, \end{equation} or equivalently \begin{equation}\label{Casimir2} \mathcal{C}_\kappa(P_\mu)= e^{P_0/\kappa}\left(\kappa^2\left(1-e^{-P_0/\kappa}\right)^2+\vec{P}^2\right). \end{equation} The Casimir operator \eqref{Casimir} can be put into the form \begin{equation} \mathcal{C}_\kappa(P_\mu)=D_0^2+D_iD^i,\label{casimir-carre} \end{equation} with \begin{equation} D_0:=\kappa \mathcal{E}^{-1/2}(1-\mathcal{E}),\ \ D_i:= \mathcal{E}^{-1/2}P_i,\ i=1,2,3\label{dirac}, \end{equation} where $D_0$ and $D_i$ define self-adjoint operators. To see that, first observe that one has $\int d^4x\ D_\mu f=0$ for any $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ and use \eqref{pairing-involution}, \eqref{invarquant} and \eqref{deriv-twist1} to compute for instance \begin{align} \langle D_if,g \rangle&=\int d^4x\ (D_if)^\dag\star g=-\int d^4x\ (\mathcal{E}^{-1/2}P_i\triangleright f^\dag)\star g\nonumber\\ &=-\int d^4x\ (P_i\triangleright f^\dag)\star (\mathcal{E}^{1/2}\triangleright g)=\int d^4x\ f^\dag\star (\mathcal{E}^{-1/2}P_i\triangleright g)\nonumber\\ &=\langle f,D_ig \rangle, \end{align} for any $f,g\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. The computation for $D_0$ is similar. Note by the way that $D_0$ and $D_i$ are not derivations of the algebra $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. \bigskip A second possible natural choice is given by the square of the equivariant Dirac operator involved in the construction of an equivariant spectral triple for the $\kappa$-Minkowski space \cite{frans-2}. It is given by \begin{equation} K^{eq}_\kappa(P_\mu):=\mathcal{C}_\kappa(P_\mu)+\frac{1}{4\kappa^2}\mathcal{C}_\kappa(P_\mu)^2.\label{kinetic} \end{equation} For latter convenience, we quote here a useful factorization of the kinetic operator \eqref{kinetic} supplemented by a mass term, assuming $0\leq m \leq \kappa$, \begin{equation} K^{eq}_\kappa(P_\mu)+m^2 = \frac{e^{2P_0/\kappa}}{4\kappa^2}\left(\vec{P}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{+}\right)\left(\vec{P}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{-}\right),\label{factor-propa} \end{equation} where the two positive functions $\mu^2_{+}$ and $\mu^2_{-}$ are given by \begin{equation} \mu^2_{\pm}(m,P_0):=\left[1 \pm 2e^{-P_0/\kappa} \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2} + e^{-2P_0/\kappa}\right]. \end{equation} Again, one can write \begin{equation} K^{eq}_\kappa(P_\mu)=D^{eq}_0D^{eq}_0+\sum_i D^{eq}_iD^{eq}_i,\label{carre-equiv} \end{equation} where \begin{equation} D^{eq}_0:=\frac{\mathcal{E}^{-1}}{2}\left(\kappa(1-\mathcal{E}^2)-\frac{1}{\kappa}\vec{P}^2\right) \ \ ,\ D^{eq}_i:=\mathcal{E}^{-1}P_i,\label{equivdirac} \end{equation} which can be easily verified to be self-adjoint using successively eqn. \eqref{pairing-involution}, the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance \eqref{invarquant} and the twisted Leibnitz rules for the $P_\mu$ \eqref{deriv-twist1}, \eqref{deriv-twist2}.\bigskip Now, recall that one has for any of the operators \eqref{dirac}, \eqref{equivdirac}, the following usefull formula \begin{equation} \langle \mathcal{D}_\mu f,g\rangle=\langle f,\mathcal{D}_\mu g \rangle,\label{byparts} \end{equation} for any $f,g\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$, in which $\mathcal{D}_\mu$ denotes any of the operators \eqref{dirac}, \eqref{equivdirac}, stemming from the self-adjointness of these operators. From \eqref{realkineticterm}, \eqref{casimir-carre}, \eqref{carre-equiv} and \eqref{byparts}, a suitable form for the kinetic term is then given by \begin{align} S^\text{kin}_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)&=\langle \phi, (K_\kappa+m^2)\phi \rangle+\langle \phi^\dag,(K_\kappa+m^2)\phi^\dag \rangle\nonumber\\ &=\int d^4x\ \phi^\dag\star(K_\kappa+m^2)\phi+\int d^4x\ \phi\star(K_\kappa+m^2)\phi^\dag\nonumber\\ &=\int d^4x\ \phi^\dag\star(1+\sigma^{-1})(K_\kappa+m^2)\phi,\label{kinetic-term} \end{align} where $K_\kappa=\mathcal{D}_\mu\mathcal{D}^\mu$ is any of the 2nd order operators \eqref{Casimir}, \eqref{kinetic}. Note by the way that, ignoring the mass terms, one has \begin{equation} \langle \phi, K_\kappa\phi \rangle=\langle \mathcal{D}_\mu\phi, \mathcal{D}_\mu\phi \rangle, \end{equation} and similarly for $\phi\to\phi^\dag$.\bigskip It is important to realise that the analysis of the quantum behaviour of the NCFT under consideration can be conveniently carried out within the present framework by expressing the non-commutative action functional $S_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)$ (involving star products) as a non-local ordinary quantum field theory $S_\kappa(\bar{\phi},\phi)$ (involving pointwise products). This can be achieved by making use of the integral forms for the star product \eqref{starpro-4d} and the involution \eqref{invol-4d} in the expression for the action functional \eqref{star-act}, \eqref{kinetic-term}, \eqref{interac-type1} and \eqref{interac-type2}.\\Applying this procedure to $S^\text{kin}_\kappa$ leads to a great simplification in the computation of the propagator, despite the fact that the star product \eqref{starpro-4d} is not closed w.r.t. the Lebesgue integral, i.e. $\int d^4x\ (f\star g)(x)\ne\int d^4x\ f(x)g(x)$. Indeed, further using \eqref{pseudoper}, we obtain \begin{align} S^\text{kin}_\kappa(\bar{\phi},\phi) &= \int d^4x_1d^4x_2 \ \bar{\phi}(x_1)\phi(x_2) \mathcal{K}_\kappa(x_1-x_2),\label{pratik-kinet-act}\\ \text{with}\ \ \mathcal{K}_\kappa(x_1-x_2) &= \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \left(1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}\right) \left(\mathcal{K}_\kappa(p)+m^2\right) e^{ip\cdot(x_1-x_2)}.\label{pratik-kinet} \end{align} The corresponding propagator can be derived by solving $\int d^4yd^4z\ \mathcal{K}_\kappa(x-y)P_\kappa(y-z)f(z)= \int d^4z\ \delta(x-z)f(z)$ for any suitable test function $f(z)$, which amounts to invert $\mathcal{K}_\kappa(x-y)$.\\ Finally, assuming $K_\kappa=K^{eq}_\kappa$, eqn. \eqref{kinetic}, one obtains \begin{equation} P_\kappa(x_1-x_2) = \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{ip\cdot(x_1-x_2)}}{\left(1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}\right) \left(\mathcal{K}^{eq}_\kappa(p)+m^2\right)},\label{intermed2} \end{equation} which, combining \eqref{intermed2} with \eqref{factor-propa}, yields \begin{equation} \label{propagator} P_{\kappa}(x_1-x_2)=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{-2p^0/\kappa}}{1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}} \ \frac{(2\kappa)^2e^{ip\cdot(x_1-x_2)}}{\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{+}\right)\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{-}\right)}. \end{equation} While assuming $K_\kappa=\mathcal{C}_\kappa$, eqn. \eqref{Casimir}, leads in a similar manner to \begin{align} P_{\kappa}(x_1-x_2)&=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{-p^0/\kappa}}{1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}}\ \frac{e^{ip\cdot(x_1-x_2)}}{\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2 \mu^2},\\ \mu^2(m,p^0)&=\left(m/\kappa\right)^2 e^{-p^0/\kappa}+\left(1-e^{-p^0/\kappa}\right)^2. \end{align} \subsubsection{Derivation of the interaction term.} Let us now discuss the interaction part $S^\text{int}_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)$.\\ In view of \eqref{hilbert-product}, the requirement for the action functional to be real forces to use the natural involution \eqref{invol-4d} in the construction of $S_\kappa$\footnote{Notice that $S_\kappa$ describes {\it{a priori}} the dynamics of a complex-valued field (obvious from \eqref{invol-4d}) unless one imposes the additional constraint $\bar{\phi}=\phi$, which therefore would give rise to a NCFT for a real-valued field.}. Recall that this involution is rigidly linked to the construction of the C*-algebra modeling the $\kappa$-Minkowski space (see section \ref{section2-1}). Hence, according to the discussion given section \ref{section311} and eqn. \eqref{positivity}, admissible (positive) real quartic (star) polynomial interactions are of the form $\langle f,f\rangle$, with $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ a polynomial in the fields $\phi$ and $\phi^\dag$. They are given by \begin{align} \langle\phi^\dag\star\phi,\phi^\dag\star\phi\rangle,\ \langle\phi^\dag\star\phi^\dag,\phi^\dag\star\phi^\dag\rangle,\ \langle\phi\star\phi^\dag,\phi\star\phi^\dag\rangle,\ \langle\phi\star\phi,\phi\star\phi\rangle, \end{align} leading respectively to the following real interactions terms, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, \begin{align} S_{1;\kappa}^\text{int}&=\lambda\int d^4x\left(\phi^\dag\star\phi\star\phi^\dag\star\phi\right)(x),\ S_{2;\kappa}^\text{int}=\lambda\int d^4x\left(\phi\star\phi\star\phi^\dag\star\phi^\dag\right)(x),\label{interac-type1}\\ S_{3;\kappa}^\text{int}&=\lambda\int d^4x\left(\phi\star\phi^\dag\star\phi\star\phi^\dag\right)(x),\ S_{4;\kappa}^\text{int}=\lambda\int d^4x\left(\phi^\dag\star\phi^\dag\star\phi\star\phi\right)(x).\label{interac-type2} \end{align} The existence of these four different families of interactions reflects the non-commutativity of the star product, as well as the non-cyclicity of the integral, involved in $S_\kappa$, although they all admit the same commutative limit $\lambda\vert\phi\vert^4$, eqn. \eqref{action-limit}. In fact, the second set of interactions \eqref{interac-type2} differs from the first one \eqref{interac-type1} by some power of the twist factor $\sigma$, eqns. \eqref{twistrace}, \eqref{twistoperator}, as it can be easily realised upon using \eqref{twistrace} in \eqref{interac-type2}\footnote{Straightforward application of the twisted trace property of the integral \eqref{twistrace} in \eqref{interac-type2} yields \begin{equation}\label{interac-type2bis} S_{3;\kappa}^\text{int}=\lambda\int d^4x\left((\sigma\triangleright\phi^\dag)\star\phi\star\phi^\dag\star\phi\right)(x),\ \ S_{4;\kappa}^\text{int}=\lambda\int d^4x\left((\sigma\triangleright(\phi\star\phi))\star\phi^\dag\star\phi^\dag\right)(x). \end{equation} \label{foot-twist}}. The actual non-equivalence of the four interactions becomes more apparent after using the integral expressions for the star product \eqref{starpro-4d} and involution \eqref{invol-4d} in \eqref{interac-type1} and \eqref{interac-type2}, leading to the expressions for the corresponding vertex-functions, eqns. \eqref{vertex-p1}-\eqref{vertex-p4}. Anticipating the results of the section \ref{subsection32}, it will be shown that each of these theories leads to different quantum (one-loop) corrections to the 2-point functions.\\ Notice that $S_{1;\kappa}^\text{int}$ and $S_{3;\kappa}^\text{int}$ (resp. $S_{2;\kappa}^\text{int}$ and $S_{4;\kappa}^\text{int}$) may be viewed as so-called orientable (resp. non-orientable) interaction, according to the standard liturgy of NCFT, each type leading to its own quantum behavior for the corresponding NCFT. For more technical details on the diagrammatic, see e.g \cite{vign-sym,thes-vt} for NCFT on Moyal space and \cite{poulwal-1} for the $\mathbb{R}^3_\theta$ case and references therein.\\ Notice also that these four interactions obviously reduce to a single one whenever $\phi$ satisfies $\phi^\dag=\phi$. The resulting interaction actually coincides with the quartic interaction considered in \cite{GAC2002} only when the field $\phi$ satisfies the additional constraint $\bar{\phi}=\phi$, i.e $\phi$ is real-valued. This can be explicitly verified by standard computation from eqns. \eqref{vertex-p1}-\eqref{vertex-p4} given below. Recall that in \cite{GAC2002}, a nice use is made of path integral quantization methods to investigate some properties of real-valued scalar NCFT with quartic interaction on $\kappa$-Minkowski space, in particular the non-linear conservation law characterizing the interaction.\\ As we did for the kinetic term, it is convenient to express $S_{I;\kappa}^\text{int}$, $I=1,2,3,4$, as (commutative) non-local interaction terms involving $\phi$ and $\bar{\phi}$. This is achieved by successively using \eqref{algeb-1} and \eqref{starpro-4d}, \eqref{invol-4d} in \eqref{interac-type1} and \eqref{interac-type2}. Standard computations yield \begin{equation} S_{I;\kappa}^\text{int}=(2\pi)^4\lambda\int \left[\prod_{i=1}^4d^4x_i\right] \ \bar{\phi}(x_1) \phi(x_2) \bar{\phi}(x_3) \phi(x_4) \mathcal{V}_{I;\kappa}(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4), \label{inter-real-gene} \end{equation} where the vertex function takes the form \begin{equation} \mathcal{V}_{I;\kappa}(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4) = \int \left[\prod_{i=1}^4\frac{d^4p_i}{(2\pi)^4}\right] \ \widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}(p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4)e^{i(p_1\cdot x_1 - p_2\cdot x_2 + p_3\cdot x_3 - p_4\cdot x_4)}.\label{real-xvertex-gene} \end{equation} The explicit expressions for the vertex functions characterising the above interactions, \eqref{interac-type1} and \eqref{interac-type2}, are given by \begin{align} \widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{1;\kappa}(\lbrace p_i\rbrace)& = \delta\left(p_2^0-p_1^0+p_4^0-p_3^0\right)\delta^{(3)}\left(\left(\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_1\hspace{2pt}\right)e^{p_1^0/\kappa}+\left(\vec{p}_4-\vec{p}_3\hspace{2pt}\right)e^{p_4^0/\kappa}\right),\label{vertex-p1}\\ \widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{2;\kappa}(\lbrace p_i\rbrace) &= \delta\left(p_2^0-p_1^0+p_4^0-p_3^0\right)\delta^{(3)}\left(\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_4e^{-p_2^0/\kappa}-\vec{p}_3e^{-p_1^0/\kappa}\right)\label{vertex-p2},\\ \widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{3;\kappa}(\lbrace p_i\rbrace) &=\delta\left(p_2^0-p_1^0+p_4^0-p_3^0\right)\delta^{(3)}\left(\vec{p}_2-\vec{p}_3+\vec{p}_4e^{(p_4^0-p_3^0)/\kappa}-\vec{p}_1e^{(p_1^0-p_2^0)/\kappa}\right), \label{vertex-p3}\\ \widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{4;\kappa}(\lbrace p_i\rbrace) &= \delta\left(p_2^0-p_1^0+p_4^0-p_3^0\right) \delta^{(3)}\left((\vec{p}_2+\vec{p}_4e^{-p_4^0/\kappa})e^{-p_2^0/\kappa}-(\vec{p}_1+\vec{p}_3e^{-p_3^0/\kappa})e^{-p_1^0/\kappa}\right)\label{vertex-p4}. \end{align} Equations \eqref{vertex-p1}-\eqref{vertex-p4} exhibit the energy-momentum conservation laws for each of those theories. As expected, the conservation law for the energy (time-like momenta) sector is the standard one while the 3-momentum conservation law becomes non linear. This stems from the semi-direct product structure underlying the non-commutative C*-algebra modelling $\kappa$-Minkowski and reflects the (Hopf algebraic) structure of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra underlying its (quantum) symmetries. Note this is sometimes geometrically interpreted (for instance in the context of relative locality, see e.g. \cite{reloc}) as reflecting the existence of a curvature of the energy-momentum space at very high (i.e. of order $\kappa$) energy.\bigskip Finally, in view of the above discussions and the explicit expressions for the $\widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}$'s characterising the various models, one easily convinces ourself that it is not possible to reduce the four (tree level) vertex functions \eqref{vertex-p1}-\eqref{vertex-p4} into one unique vertex (involving a unique delta function). This is obvious when considering two theories of different nature (i.e. either orientable or non-orientable). On the other hand, $S_{1;\kappa}$ and $S_{3;\kappa}$ (resp. $S_{2;\kappa}$ and $S_{4;\kappa}$) differ from each other by some power of the twist factor (see e.g. footnote \ref{foot-twist}). Hence, there is a priori no reason for the different interactions to describe equivalent theories. Computations of first order corrections to the 2-point functions (reported section \ref{subsection32}) will show that the different models studied have indeed very different quantum behaviours, the twist playing an important role in their actual UV behaviour. In particular, UV/IR mixing shows up for non-orientable theories albeit absent in the orientable models. \subsection{One-loop 2-point functions.}\label{subsection32} In this section, we present the computation of the one-loop 2-point functions for each of the two field theories characterized respectively by the interaction terms $S_{1;\kappa}^\text{int}$ and $S_{2;\kappa}^\text{int}$, \eqref{interac-type1}, both with kinetic term corresponding to \eqref{kinetic}. We have verified that the field theories corresponding to interaction terms $S_{3;\kappa}^\text{int}$ or $S_{4;\kappa}^\text{int}$, \eqref{interac-type2}, exhibit a similar behaviour regarding the structure of the contributions received by the 2-point functions and their respective UV and IR behaviours. Their analysis can be obtained from straightforward adaptations of the material presented below. Anticipating the results, we find that the 2-point function for each of the theories \eqref{interac-type1} receives 4 types of contributions, hereafter denoted by Type-I, Type-II, Type-III and Type-IV. Type-I contributions can be interpreted as standard planar contributions while Type-II and Type-III contributions can be viewed as planar contributions stemming from the fact that the Lebesgue integral involved in the action is a twisted trace. The Type-IV contributions can be viewed as non-planar contributions which exhibit UV/IR mixing. Changing the kinetic term \eqref{kinetic} to \eqref{Casimir} does not modify noticeably the conclusions on the UV and IR behaviour of the field theories. This will be discussed in the Section \ref{section4}. \subsubsection{Preliminary considerations.} To deal with the perturbative expansion, we follow the usual route used in (most of) the studies of NCFT, which we briefly recall now. Namely, first by making use of \eqref{starpro-4d} and \eqref{invol-4d}, the action functional $S_\kappa(\phi^\dag,\phi)$ involving star products is represented as an ordinary, albeit non local, action functional $S_\kappa(\bar{\phi},\phi)$ depending on $\phi$, $\bar{\phi}$ and the ordinary (commutative) product among functions, hence describing the dynamics of a complex scalar field. Accordingly, the perturbative expansion related to the NCFT is nothing but a usual perturbative expansion for an ordinary (complex scalar) field theory, stemming from the generating functional of the connected correlation functions \begin{equation} W_{I}[\bar{J},J]:=\ln\left(\mathcal{Z}_{I}[\bar{J},J]\right) \end{equation} with \begin{equation} \mathcal{Z}_{I}[\bar{J},J]:=\int d\bar{\phi}d\phi \ e^{-S^\text{kin}_\kappa(\bar{\phi},\phi)-S^\text{int}_{I;\kappa}(\bar{\phi},\phi)+\int d^4x \ \bar{J}(x)\phi(x) + \int d^4x \ J(x)\bar{\phi}(x)}, \ I=1,2, \end{equation} in which the functional measure is merely the ordinary functional measure for a scalar field theory $S_\kappa(\bar{\phi},\phi)$ implementing formally the integration over the field configurations $\phi$ and $\bar{\phi}$. Accordingly, correlation functions built from $\phi$ and $\bar{\phi}$ are then generated by the repeated action of standard functional derivatives with respect to $J$ and $\bar{J}$ satisfying the usual functional rule \begin{equation} \frac{\delta J(p)}{\delta J(q)}=\delta^{(4)}(p-q). \end{equation} Note that there is no need to introduce a notion of non-commutative (star) functional derivative in the present approach. \bigskip Let us recall, for the sake of completeness, the main steps of the derivation of the contributions to the one-loop 2-point functions. This can be achieved by first rewriting the interaction term $S^\text{int}_{I;\kappa}$ replacing the fields $\phi$ and $\bar{\phi}$ by the functional derivatives w.r.t. their corresponding sources $\bar{J}$ and $J$ respectively, then computing the Gaussian integral for the free field theory. This leads to \begin{align} &W_{0}[\bar{J},J]:=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \overline{\mathcal{F}J}(p)P_\kappa(p)\mathcal{F}J(p),\\ W_{I}[\bar{J},J]=\ln N&+W_{0}[\bar{J},J]+\ln\left(1+e^{-W_{0}}\left(e^{-S_{I;\kappa}^\text{int}[\frac{\delta}{\delta \mathcal{F}J},\frac{\delta}{\delta\overline{\mathcal{F}J}}]}-1\right)e^{W_{0}}\right),\label{expansion1} \end{align} with $N$ some normalisation constant, $P_\kappa(p)$ the Fourier transform of \eqref{propagator} and where we have switched from position to momentum representation for computational convenience.\\Now expanding the last logarithm in \eqref{expansion1} up to the first order in the coupling constant $\lambda$ and defining the effective action $\Gamma$ as the Legendre transform of $W_{I}$, \begin{equation} \Gamma[\bar{\phi},\phi]:=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \left(\overline{\mathcal{F}J}(p)\mathcal{F}\phi(p)+\mathcal{F}J(p)\overline{\mathcal{F}\phi}(p)\right)-W_{I}[\bar{J},J], \end{equation} one finds, after standard computation, the following expression for the one-loop quadratic part of $\Gamma$ \begin{equation} \Gamma^{(2)}_1[\bar{\phi},\phi]:=\int\frac{d^4p_3}{(2\pi)^4}\frac{d^4p_4}{(2\pi)^4}\ \overline{\mathcal{F}\phi}(p_3)\mathcal{F}\phi(p_4) \Gamma^{(2)}_1(p_3,p_4), \end{equation} with \begin{align} \Gamma^{(2)}_1(p_3,p_4):=\lambda\int &\frac{d^4p_1}{(2\pi)^4}\frac{d^4p_2}{(2\pi)^4}\ P_\kappa(p_1) \delta^{(4)}(p_2-p_1)\times\nonumber\\ &\times\Big[\widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}(p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4)+\widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}(p_3,p_4,p_1,p_2)+\nonumber\\ &\hspace{1cm}+\widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}(p_3,p_2,p_1,p_4)+\widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}(p_1,p_4,p_3,p_2)\Big],\label{gamma2} \end{align} The various contributions mentioned at the beginning of this section are then obtained by replacing $\widetilde{\mathcal{V}}_{I;\kappa}$ by the different expressions for the vertex function \eqref{vertex-p1}-\eqref{vertex-p4} in \eqref{gamma2}. \subsubsection{Scalar theory with $\phi^\dag\star\phi\star\phi^\dag\star\phi$ interaction.}\label{321} The relevant classical action functional is $S^\text{kin}_\kappa+S_{1;\kappa}^\text{int}$, see \eqref{pratik-kinet-act}, \eqref{pratik-kinet}, \eqref{interac-type1}. By a simple inspection of \eqref{gamma2}, one easily realizes that the one-loop 2-point function receives two types of contribution, hereafter called Type-I and Type-II contributions.\\ The contributions of Type-I are nothing but the usual planar contributions, according to the usual denomination prevailing in the non-commutative field theories. The Type-II contributions, while similar to the planar contributions in that they do not depend on the external momenta, are a new type of contributions generated by the twist which arises in the vertex functions, thus altering some diagrams with ``planar topology". No non-planar contributions (namely, depending on the external momenta) can be obtained within the present model so that no IR singularity related to the UV/IR mixing can occur in the 2-point function. Let us now study the UV behaviour of these contributions.\bigskip Typical Type-I contribution to the one-loop effective action can be written as \begin{equation} \Gamma^{(2)}_{1;(I)}(p_3,p_4)= e^{-3p_3^0/\kappa}\delta^{(4)}(p_4-p_3)\Sigma_{(I)},\label{type1-struct} \end{equation} in which \begin{equation} \label{Sigma1} \Sigma_{(I)} := \lambda \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{-2p^0/\kappa}}{1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}} \ \frac{4\kappa^2}{\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{+}\right)\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{-}\right)}. \end{equation} Because of the strong decay of the propagator at large momentum $\vec{p}$ (, $\sim 1/\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}4}$), the spatial integral is finite and the integration over the 3-momentum $d^3\vec{p}$ can be performed by making use of the two following relations \begin{align} \frac{1}{A^aB^b}=\frac{\Gamma(a+b)}{\Gamma(a)\Gamma(b)} & \int_0^1 du \ \frac{u^{a-1}(1-u)^{b-1}}{\left(uA+(1-u)B\right)^{a+b}}, \ a,b>0, \\ \int \frac{d^np}{(2\pi)^n} \frac{1}{(p^2+M^2)^{m}}&=M^{n-2m}\frac{\Gamma(m-n/2)}{(4\pi)^{n/2} \Gamma(m)}, \ m>n/2> 0, \end{align} where $\Gamma(z)$ is the Euler gamma function. This leads to \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I)} = \frac{2\kappa^2\lambda}{(2\pi)^2} \int_\mathbb{R} dp^0\ \frac{e^{-2p^0/\kappa}}{\left(1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}\right)} \ \frac{\sqrt{\mu^2_{+}}-\sqrt{\mu^2_{-}}}{\mu^2_{+}-\mu^2_{-}}, \end{equation} with $\mu^2_{+}-\mu^2_{-}=4\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}\ e^{-p^0/\kappa}$. By finally performing the change of variables, \begin{equation} y=e^{-p^0/\kappa}, \label{change-var} \end{equation} $\Sigma_{(I)}$ reduces to \begin{align} &\Sigma_{(I)} = C \int_0^\infty dy \left[\frac{\sqrt{1+2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}y+y^2}}{1+y^3}-\frac{\sqrt{1-2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}y+y^2}}{1+y^3}\right], \label{typeI} \\ &\text{with}\ \ C:=\frac{\lambda}{(2\pi)^2}\frac{\kappa^3}{2\sqrt{\kappa^2-m^2}}, \label{constanteC} \end{align} whose UV behaviour can easily be inferred by use of the d'Alembert criterion as shown below. Before proceeding to that analysis, some comments are in order: \begin{itemize} \item First, notice that, due to the change of variables \eqref{change-var}, both the lower $(0)$ and upper $(\infty)$ bounds of integration in \eqref{typeI} correspond to the UV (large $|p^0|$) regime. \item Next, some of the integrals w.r.t. the $y$ variable appearing in the computation of the one-loop order corrections to the 2-point function, have to be understood as regularized integrals. One way of regularizing them amounts to introduce a cut-off for $y$. Motivated by the Hopf algebraic structure of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra (in particular the deformed translation algebra), which is generated by $P_i$ and $\mathcal{E}=e^{-P_0/\kappa}$ (for more details see appendix \ref{apendixA}), it is natural to interpret $y=e^{-p^0/\kappa}$ as related to the ``physical" quantity replacing $p^0$ in the NCFT. More precisely, having in mind the expression for the 1st Casimir operator of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra, \eqref{Casimir2}, one can interpret the quantity \begin{equation} \mathcal{P}^0(\kappa):=\kappa(1-y) \end{equation} as the relevant quantity for the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e covariant quantum field theories, which reduces to $p^0$ when taking the formal commutative limit ($\kappa\to\infty$). Assuming $\vert\mathcal{P}^0\vert\leq\Lambda_0$, it follows that one can derive an appropriate cut-off for $y$. This is achieved by noticing that the introduction of $\Lambda_0$ induces a cut-off for $p^0$, say $M_\kappa(\Lambda_0)$, which is easily shown to be related to $\Lambda_0$ by \begin{equation} M_\kappa(\Lambda_0) = \kappa \ln\left(1+\frac{\Lambda_0}{\kappa}\right), \end{equation} with the limit $M_\kappa(\Lambda_0)\to\Lambda_0$ when $\kappa\to\infty$. Thus, \begin{equation} \frac{\kappa}{\kappa+\Lambda_0} \leq y \leq \frac{\kappa+\Lambda_0}{\kappa}. \end{equation} \end{itemize} Having in mind these two comments, we can now study the UV behaviour of the scalar field theories under consideration.\\ When $y\to \infty$, one can check that \begin{equation} \sqrt{\mu^2_{+}}-\sqrt{\mu^2_{-}}=2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}+\mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{y^2}),\label{mumu} \end{equation} so that the integrand in eqn. \eqref{typeI} behaves like $\sim y^{-3}$. Meanwhile, when $y\to 0$, one verifies that the integrand behaves like $\sim y$. Hence, the integral is convergent, showing that typical Type-I contribution given by $\Sigma^{(I)}$ is (UV) finite. \bigskip By performing a similar computation, one finds that typical contribution of Type-II have the same structure than those of Type-I \eqref{type1-struct}, still independent of external momenta, but receiving an extra contribution proportional to some power of $e^{-3p^0/\kappa}$ stemming from the twist $\sigma$, as indicated above. Indeed, the one-loop effective action can be cast into the form \begin{equation} \Gamma^{(2)}_{1;(I{\hspace{-2pt}I})}(p_3,p_4)=\delta^{(4)}(p_4-p_3)\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I})}, \end{equation} where \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I})} = \lambda \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{-5p^0/\kappa}}{1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}} \ \frac{4\kappa^2}{\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{+}\right)\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{-}\right)}. \label{Sigma2} \end{equation} Observe from \eqref{Sigma2} and \eqref{Sigma1} that one has formally \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I)}=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4}\ \mathcal{I}(p),\label{type1-sig} \end{equation} where the integrand $\mathcal{I}$ can be read off from \eqref{Sigma1}, while \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I})}=\int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4}\ e^{-3p^0/\kappa}\mathcal{I}(p),\label{type2-sig} \end{equation} in which the extra factor $e^{-3p^0/\kappa}$ is generated by a twist factor.\bigskip Now, performing the change of variable \eqref{change-var} in \eqref{Sigma2} and characterizing the UV (large $|p^0|$) regime as done above for the Type-I contributions, one easily finds that the integral in \eqref{Sigma2} reduces to \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I})} = C \int_0^\infty dy \ y^3 \left[\frac{\sqrt{1+2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}y+y^2}}{1+y^3}-\frac{\sqrt{1-2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}y+y^2}}{1+y^3}\right], \end{equation} where the constant $C$ is given by \eqref{constanteC}. The integral is still convergent for $y\to 0$ since the twist contributes by a factor $y^3$ at the numerator while the integrand behaves now like \eqref{mumu} when $y\to\infty$, instead of the convergent behaviour of the Type-I contribution. Hence, \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I})} \sim \frac{\lambda\kappa}{(2\pi)^2} \ \Lambda_0 + \lbrace \text{finite terms}\rbrace, \end{equation} which exhibits a linear UV divergence essentially produced by the twist in view of \eqref{type1-sig} and \eqref{type2-sig}.\bigskip To summarize the results, we have found that within the field theory described by the action functional $S^\text{kin}_\kappa+S_{1;\kappa}^\text{int}$, the twist splits the planar contributions to the 2-point function into two different planar-like contributions which are IR finite and whose UV behaviour is affected by the twist. Note that all the contributions to the 2-point functions are independent of the external momenta so that no IR singularities at exceptional (zero) momenta, related to UV/IR mixing, can occur (there is no non-planar contributions). \subsubsection{Scalar theory with $\phi\star\phi\star\phi^\dag\star\phi^\dag$ interaction.}\label{322} The relevant classical action functional is now $S^\text{kin}_\kappa+S_{2;\kappa}^\text{int}$, see \eqref{pratik-kinet-act}, \eqref{pratik-kinet}, \eqref{interac-type1}. From the perturbative expansion of the corresponding partition function, one finds that the one-loop 2-point function receives three types of contribution, hereafter called Type-I, Type-III and Type-IV contributions.\\ The Type-I and Type-III are planar type, i.e. independent of the external momenta but differing from each other by its own contribution coming from the twist $\sigma$. This results in different powers of the factor $e^{-3p^0/\kappa}$ in the integrands of the various contributions, hence the denomination ``Type-III" since this factor is different from the one for Type-II contributions exhibited in the subsection \ref{321}. As for the field theory examined in subsection \ref{321}, Type-I contributions are found to be UV finite. The Type-IV contributions can be actually interpreted as non-planar contributions. This signals that the corresponding field theory has UV/IR mixing since Type-IV contributions evaluated at exceptional zero external momentum are divergent.\bigskip Let us start by considering planar contributions. Typical Type-III contribution to the one-loop effective action can be written as \begin{equation} \Gamma^{(2)}_{1;(I{\hspace{-2pt}I}{\hspace{-2pt}I})}(p_3,p_4)= \delta^{(4)}(p_4-p_3)\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I}{\hspace{-2pt}I})}, \end{equation} in which $\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I}{\hspace{-2pt}I})}=\int d^4p\ e^{3p^0/\kappa}\mathcal{I}(p)$, with $\mathcal{I}(p)$ defined in \eqref{type1-sig}. After performing the integration over $d^3\vec{p}$ and the change of variable \eqref{change-var}, one obtains \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I}{\hspace{-2pt}I})} =C \int_0^\infty \frac{dy}{y^3} \left[\frac{\sqrt{1+2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}y+y^2}}{1+y^3}-\frac{\sqrt{1-2\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{m}{\kappa}\right)^2}y+y^2}}{1+y^3}\right].\label{type3-div} \end{equation} Using \eqref{mumu}, one easily finds that the integrand in \eqref{type3-div} behaves like $\sim y^{-6}$ when $y\to\infty$ while it behaves like $\sim y^{-2}$ for $y\to0$, such that \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I}{\hspace{-2pt}I})}\sim \frac{\lambda\kappa}{(2\pi)^2} \ \Lambda_0 + \lbrace \text{finite terms}\rbrace , \end{equation} indicating that \eqref{type3-div} has a UV linear divergence (as for Type-II contribution of the field theory considered in the previous subsection).\bigskip Finally, let us consider the non-planar Type-IV contributions. That latter can be written as \begin{equation} \Gamma^{(2)}_{1;(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(p_3,p_4)=\delta(p_4^0-p_3^0)\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(p_3,p_4),\label{decadix1} \end{equation} where \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(p_3,p_4) = (2\kappa)^2\lambda \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{-2p^0/\kappa}}{1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}} \frac{\delta^{(3)}\left(\left(1-e^{-p_3^0/\kappa}\right)\vec{p}+\vec{p}_4e^{-p^0/\kappa}-\vec{p}_3\right)}{\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{+}\right)\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{-}\right)}. \label{nonplanar} \end{equation} Note that $\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(p_3,p_4)$ depends on two (external) momenta which however are not independent, due to the (non-linear) momentum conservation ensured by the delta functions. This dependence by the way signals that the effective action functional \eqref{decadix1} is non-local. Let's first examine the infrared sector. Setting $(p^0_3,\vec{p}_3)\to(0,\vec{0})$ in \eqref{nonplanar} leads to \begin{equation} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(0,p_4) = (2\kappa)^2\lambda \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4} \ \frac{e^{-2p^0/\kappa}}{1+e^{-3p^0/\kappa}}\frac{e^{3p^0/\kappa}}{\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{+}\right)\left(\vec{p}^{\hspace{2pt}2}+\kappa^2\mu^2_{-}\right)} \ \delta^{(3)}(\vec{p}_4), \end{equation} such that \begin{equation} \label{mixingIII} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(0,p_4)=\delta^{(3)}(\vec{p}_4)\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}I}{\hspace{-2pt}I})}, \end{equation} indicating that the conservation law is preserved, namely $p_4\to 0$ when $p_3\to 0$, and that the non-planar contributions tends toward (Type-III) planar contributions in the limit of vanishing external momenta. To study the UV behaviour of \eqref{nonplanar}, we perform the integration over $d^3\vec{p}$ together with the change of variables \eqref{change-var}. Standard computation yield \begin{equation}\label{typeIV} \Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(p_3,p_4) = \frac{\kappa^2\lambda}{4\pi^4} \left|1-e^{-p_3^0/\kappa}\right| \int_0^\infty dy \ \frac{y}{\left(1+y^3\right)\Omega_{+}(y)\Omega_{-}(y)}, \end{equation} with \begin{equation} \Omega_{\pm}(y) = \left(y\vec{p}_4-\vec{p}_3\right)^2+\kappa^2\left(1-e^{-p_3^0/\kappa}\right)^2\mu_{\pm}^2(y). \end{equation} Now, one can easily check that the integrand in \eqref{typeIV} behaves like $\sim y$ when $y\to0$, while it behaves like $\sim y^{-6}$ when $y\to\infty$. Therefore, one concludes that Type-IV contributions are finite for any (non zero) external 4-momenta while $\lim_{p_3\to 0}\Sigma_{(I{\hspace{-2pt}V})}(p_3,p_4)\sim-\lambda\kappa\Lambda_0$, namely diverges (UV) linearly. This last phenomenon reflects the existence of perturbative UV/IR mixing when considering interactions of the form of $S^\text{int}_{2;\kappa}$. The same result occurs for interactions given by $S^\text{int}_{4;\kappa}$. \section{Discussion and conclusion.}\label{section4} The Weyl quantization scheme provides a natural framework to describe $\kappa$-deformations of the Minkowski space-time. A well controlled star product for $\kappa$-Minkowski space is easily obtained from the representations of the convolution algebra of the affine group which here replaces the Heisenberg group underlying the popular quantization of a phase space. Owing to the fact that the $\kappa$-Minkowski space supports a natural action of a deformation of the Poincar\'e Lie algebra, the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra playing the role of the algebra of symmetry of the quantum space, it is physically relevant to require $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance of any physically reasonable action functional. Doing this necessarily implies that the trace building the action functional is twisted, stemming simply from the peculiar behavior of the star product w.r.t. the Lebesgue integral involved in the action.\bigskip We have examined various classes of (complex) scalar field theories on 4-d $\kappa$-Minkowski space, considering all possible types of quartic interaction allowed by reality condition of the action functional, and whose commutative limit coincides with the standard (commutative) complex $\phi^4$ theory. The kinetic operators were chosen to be square of different Dirac operators. The use of algebraic properties of the twisted trace leads to an easy computation of the corresponding propagators, despite the fact that the star product is not closed w.r.t. the integral.\bigskip Focusing first on a kinetic operator \eqref{kinetic} related to the Dirac operator of an equivariant spectral triple considered in \cite{frans-2}, we have analyzed the one-loop UV and IR behavior of the 2-point functions for each of these theories, presenting in details the technical analysis for representative classes of theories \eqref{interac-type1} in the subsection \ref{subsection32}. We find that the twist splits the planar contributions to the 2-point function into different {\it{IR finite}} contributions whose UV behavior depends on the power of the twist factor arising, technically speaking, from the respective positions of the contracted fields in the interaction combined with the non-cyclicity of the trace. The UV behavior of these contributions ranges from UV finitude to at most UV linear divergence, which is slightly milder than in the commutative scalar theory. The interaction term of the scalar theory considered in the subsection \ref{321} cannot produce non-planar contributions, since the interaction is orientable (in the terminology of non-commutative field theories). Hence, no UV/IR mixing is expected to occur in this field theory which therefore should be perturbatively renormalizable to all orders.\\ It turns out that the computation of the 1-loop contributions to the 4-point function for this NCFT shows that this latter is UV finite. The full derivation is cumbersome and will be reported elsewhere \cite{PW-1} together with the analysis of 2- and 4-point functions for the other NCFT considered in this paper. The UV finiteness is partly due to the large spatial momentum behavior of the propagator which decays as $1/\vec{p}^{\ 4}$. This yields finite spatial integrals for all the contributions while each of the remaining integrals over $y$ is found to be finite by a mere use of d'Alembert criterion. This additional observation together with the strong decay of the propagator at large (spatial) momenta makes very likely the perturbative renormalisability of this NCFT to all orders.\bigskip UV/IR mixing is expected to occur in the scalar theory of subsection \ref{322} (the interaction is no longer orientable). Indeed, we find that the so-called Type-IV contribution, which depends on the external momenta, is finite for non zero external moment while it becomes singular at exceptional zero external momenta, see for instance \eqref{mixingIII}. It would be interesting to examine if this UV/IR mixing could be removed by using procedures similar to the one used to deal with the mixing within non-commutative field theories on Moyal spaces \cite{Grosse:2003aj-pc}. The above conclusions apply to the 2-point functions of the field theories \eqref{interac-type2}, whose analysis can be obtained from straightforward adaptations of subsection \ref{subsection32}. In the same way, changing the kinetic term \eqref{kinetic} to \eqref{Casimir} does not modify significantly the conclusions on the UV and IR behavior of these field theories. For instance, for the theory considered section \ref{321}, the Type-I contribution remains finite whereas the Type-II contribution diverges quadratically. Note that our conclusions qualitatively agree with those obtained a long time ago in \cite{gross-whl} where a scalar field theory built from another (albeit presumably equivalent) star product and a different kinetic operator has been considered. Again, linear UV divergences for planar-type contributions together with UV/IR mixing in non-planar contributions was shown to occur in that model. The precise comparison between both work is however drastically complicated by the technical approach used in \cite{gross-whl} leading to very involved formulas.\bigskip An immediate natural extension of this analysis is the computation of the one-loop corrections to the vertex functions and beta functions in the above field theories. The corresponding work will be reported elsewhere \cite{PW-1}. The extension of the present work to the case of gauge theories defined on $\kappa$-Minkowski spaces is an interesting issue \cite{PSW-1}. In view of the natural action of the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e algebra, the framework of bicovariant differential calculus \cite{Maj-sit} seems to be better suited here than the standard derivation-based differential calculus with which most of the non-commutative gauge models on $\mathbb{R}^4_\theta$ or $\mathbb{R}^3_\lambda$ have been built \cite{mdv-jcw}. A suitable framework should presumably take into account algebras of twisted derivations as well as twisted gauge transformations.\bigskip To conclude, we mention that the star product considered in this paper could be used in the construction of other (even non $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariant) NCFT or gauge versions of them and should prove convenient to compute related quantum corrections. We note that the NCFT with orientable interaction \eqref{vertex-p1} provides an explicit example (as far as we know the first one) of a UV/IR mixing free NCFT on the 4-d $\kappa$-Minkowski space which is very likely renormalisable to all orders. It would be very interesting to show if some KMS condition stemming from the twisted trace rules the correlation functions of this NCFT which would signal the appearance of an observer-independent time within this theory and would then give to the NCFT on $\kappa$-Minkowski space a new impulse toward potential applications to fundamental physics. \vskip 0,5 true cm {\bf{Acknowledgments:}} J.-C.

Let $\Delta:\mathcal{P}_\kappa\otimes\mathcal{P}_\kappa\to\mathcal{P}_\kappa$, $\epsilon:\mathcal{P}_\kappa\to\mathbb{C}$ and $S:\mathcal{P}_\kappa\to\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ be respectively the coproduct, counit and antipode, thus endowing $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ with a Hopf algebra structure. A convenient presentation of $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ is obtained from the 11 elements $(P_i, N_i,M_i, \mathcal{E},\mathcal{E}^{-1})$, $i=1,2,3$, respectively the momenta, the boost, the rotations and $\mathcal{E}:=e^{-P_0/\kappa}$ satisfying the Lie algebra relations{\footnote{In the following, Greek (resp. Latin) indices label as usual space-time (resp. purely spatial) coordinates.}} \begin{equation} [M_i,M_j]= i\epsilon_{ij}^{\hspace{5pt}k}M_k,\ [M_i,N_j]=i\epsilon_{ij}^{\hspace{5pt}k}N_k,\ [N_i,N_j]=-i\epsilon_{ij}^{\hspace{5pt}k}M_k\label{poinc1}, \end{equation} \begin{equation} [M_i,P_j]= i\epsilon_{ij}^{\hspace{5pt}k}P_k,\ [P_i,\mathcal{E}]=[M_i,\mathcal{E}]=0,\ [N_i,\mathcal{E}]=-\frac{i}{\kappa}P_i\mathcal{E}\label{poinc2}, \end{equation} \begin{equation} [N_i,P_j]=-\frac{i}{2}\delta_{ij}\left(\kappa(1-\mathcal{E}^{2})+\frac{1}{\kappa}\vec{P}^2\right)+\frac{i}{\kappa}P_iP_j\label{poinc3}, \end{equation} with the Hopf algebra structure defined by \begin{align} \Delta P_0&=P_0\otimes\bbone+\bbone\otimes P_0,\ \Delta P_i=P_i\otimes\bbone+\mathcal{E}\otimes P_i,\label{hopf1}\\ \Delta \mathcal{E}&=\mathcal{E}\otimes\mathcal{E},\ \Delta M_i=M_i\otimes\bbone+\bbone\otimes M_i,\label{hopf1bis}\\ \Delta N_i&=N_i\otimes \bbone+\mathcal{E}\otimes N_i-\frac{1}{\kappa}\epsilon_{i}^{\hspace{2pt}jk}P_j\otimes M_k,\label{hopf2} \end{align} and \begin{align} \epsilon(P_0)&=\epsilon(P_i)=\epsilon(M_i)=\epsilon(N_i)=0,\ \epsilon(\mathcal{E})=1\label{hopf3},\\ S(P_0)&=-P_0,\ S(\mathcal{E})=\mathcal{E}^{-1},\ S(P_i)=-\mathcal{E}^{-1}P_i,\label{hopf4}\\ S(M_i)&=-M_i,\ S(N_i)=-\mathcal{E}^{-1}(N_i-\frac{1}{\kappa}\epsilon_{i}^{\hspace{2pt}jk}P_jM_k)\label{hopf4bis}. \end{align} Recall that the $\kappa$-Minkowski space can be viewed as the dual of the Hopf subalgebra generated by $P_\mu$, $\mathcal{E}$, sometimes called the ``deformed translation algebra". This latter becomes a $^*$-Hopf algebra through: $P_\mu^\dag=P_\mu$, $\mathcal{E}^\dag=\mathcal{E}$. Then, by promoting the above duality to a duality between $^*$-algebras insuring compatibility among the involutions, one obtains \begin{equation} (t\triangleright f)^\dag=S(t)^\dag\triangleright f,\label{pairing-involution} \end{equation} which holds true for any $t$ in the deformed translation algebra and for any $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. This, combined with \eqref{hopf4} implies \begin{equation} (P_0\triangleright f)^\dag=-P_0\triangleright(f^\dag),\ (P_i\triangleright f)^\dag=-\mathcal{E}^{-1}P_i\triangleright(f^\dag),\ (\mathcal{E}\triangleright f)^\dag=\mathcal{E}^{-1}\triangleright(f^\dag)\label{dag-hopfoperat}. \end{equation} It must be stressed that the $P_i$'s act as twisted derivations on $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ while $P_0$ remains untwisted as it can be readily seen from \eqref{hopf1}. One has for any $f,g\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ \begin{align} P_i\triangleright(f\star g)&=(P_i\triangleright f)\star g+(\mathcal{E}\triangleright f)\star (P_i\triangleright g)\label{deriv-twist1},\\ P_0\triangleright(f\star g)&=(P_0\triangleright f)\star g+f\star(P_0\triangleright g )\label{deriv-twist2}. \end{align} Note that $\mathcal{E}$ is not a derivation of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ since one has \begin{equation} \mathcal{E}\triangleright(f\star g)=(\mathcal{E}\triangleright f)\star(\mathcal{E}\triangleright g).\label{relation-calE} \end{equation} The structure of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ as left-module over the Hopf algebra $\mathcal{P}_\kappa$ can be expressed, for any $f\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$, in terms of the bicrossproduct basis $(M_i,N_i,P_\mu)$, \cite{majid-ruegg}, by \begin{align} (\mathcal{E}\triangleright f)(x)&=f(x_0+\frac{i}{\kappa},\vec{x})\label{left-module0},\\ (P_\mu\triangleright f)(x)&=-i(\partial_\mu f)(x),\label{left-module1}\\ (M_i\triangleright f)(x)&=\left(\epsilon_{ijk}L_{x_j}P_k\triangleright f\right)(x),\label{left-modules1bis}\\ (N_i\triangleright f)(x)&=\bigg(\big(\frac{1}{2}L_{x_i}(\kappa(1-\mathcal{E}^2)+\frac{1}{\kappa}\vec{P}^{2})+L_{x_0}P_i-\frac{i}{\kappa}L_{x_k}P_kP_i \big)\triangleright f\bigg)(x),\label{left-module2} \end{align} where $L_a$ denotes the left (standard) multiplication operator, i.e. $L_af:=af$. \section{KMS weight and twisted trace.}\label{apendixB} A KMS weight on a (C*-)algebra $\mathbb{A}$ for a modular group of $^*$-automorphisms $\{\sigma_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ is defined \cite{kuster} as a (densely defined) linear map $\varphi:\mathbb{A}_+\to\mathbb{R}^+$ ($\mathbb{A}_+$ is the set of positive elements of $\mathbb{A}$) such that $\{\sigma_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ admits an analytic extension, still a one-parameter group, $\{\sigma_z\}_{z\in\mathbb{C}}$ acting on $\mathbb{A}$ satisfying the following two conditions{\footnote{Some alternative equivalent definitions exist, which however are less convenient for the present discussion. The above definition \cite{kuster} also require that $\varphi$ is lower semi-continuous and that $\{\sigma_z\}$ is norm-continuous, two conditions which are fortunately fulfilled in this paper.}}: \begin{equation} {\textrm{i)}}\ \ \varphi\circ\sigma_z=\varphi,\ \ {\textrm{ii)}}\ \ \varphi(a^\dag \star a)=\varphi(\sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}(a)\star(\sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}(a))^\dag),\label{prop-kmsweight} \end{equation} for any $a$ in the domain of $\sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}$. The notion of weight on a C*-algebra extends the usual notion of state, since a state can be viewed (up to technical subtleties) as a weight with unit norm. In the present situation, the characterization of the relevant C*-algebra has been discussed in the section \ref{section2}. For our purpose, it will be sufficient to keep in mind that it involves $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ as a dense $^*$-subalgebra. For more mathematical details on KMS weights, see e.g \cite{kuster}. Note that the notion of KMS weight related to the present twisted trace has been already used in \cite{matas} to construct a modular spectral triple for $\kappa$-Minkowski space.\bigskip To verify that the twisted trace \eqref{twistrace}, \eqref{twistoperator} is actually a KMS weight, we first characterize the properties of $\sigma_t$ \eqref{sigmat-modul}. From \eqref{sigmat-modul}, \eqref{starpro-4d} and \eqref{invol-4d}, one obtains \begin{equation} \sigma_{t_1}\sigma_{t_2}=\sigma_{t_1+t_2},\ \sigma^{-1}_t=\sigma_{-t},\ \ \forall t,t_1,t_2\in\mathbb{R}, \label{modulargroup} \end{equation} and \begin{equation} \sigma_t(f\star g)=\sigma_t(f)\star\sigma_t(g),\ \ \sigma_t(f^\dag)=(\sigma_t(f))^\dag,\ \forall t\in\mathbb{R}\label{modular-sigma}, \end{equation} for any $f,g\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. Hence $\sigma_t$ \eqref{sigmat-modul} defines a group of $^*$-automorphisms of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. Next, set $\varphi(f):=\int d^4x\ f(x)$. Then, $\varphi$ verifies the property i) of \eqref{prop-kmsweight} as a mere consequence of \eqref{invarquant}, i.e. the $\kappa$-Poincar\'e invariance of the action functional. Namely \begin{equation} \varphi(\sigma_t f)=\sigma_t\triangleright\int d^4x\ f(x)=(\mathcal{E})^{-i3t}\triangleright\int d^4x\ f(x)=\epsilon(\mathcal{E})^{-i3t}\int d^4x\ f(x)=\varphi(f), \end{equation} for any $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ where the action of $\mathcal{E}$ has been extended to the one of $\sigma_t$ by using the functional calculus. \\ Before we verify the property ii) of \eqref{prop-kmsweight}, one remark is in order. Extend $\sigma_t$ \eqref{modular-sigma} to \begin{equation} \sigma_z(f):=e^{iz\frac{3P_0}{\kappa}}\triangleright f=e^{\frac{3z}{\kappa}\partial_0}\triangleright f,\ \forall z\in\mathbb{C}\label{sigmat-modul-z}, \end{equation} for any $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$. Then, one can easily verify that \eqref{modulargroup} and \eqref{modular-sigma} extend respectively to \begin{equation} \sigma_{z_1}\sigma_{z_2}=\sigma_{z_1+z_2},\ \sigma^{-1}_z=\sigma_{-z},\ \ \forall z,z_1,z_2\in\mathbb{C}, \label{prop-modulargroup-z} \end{equation} and \begin{equation} \sigma_z(f\star g)=\sigma_z(f)\star\sigma_z(g)\label{morphalg-modul-z}, \end{equation} while $\sigma_z$ is no longer an automorphism of $^*$-algebra. Namely, one has \begin{equation} \sigma_z(f^\dag)=(\sigma_{\bar{z}}(f))^\dag,\ \forall z\in\mathbb{C}\label{modulargroup-z}. \end{equation} In particular, the twist $\sigma$ \eqref{twistoperator} is recovered for $z=i$, i.e. \begin{equation} \sigma=\sigma_{z=i}\label{b10} \end{equation} and one has $\sigma(f^\dag)=(\sigma^{-1}(f))^\dag$. This type of automorphim is known as a regular automorphim in the mathematical literature and occurs in the framework of twisted spectral triples. It has been introduced in \cite{como-1} in conjunction with the assumption of the existence of a distinguished group of ($^*$-)automorphisms of the algebra indexed by one real parameter, says $t$, i.e. the modular group, such that the analytic extension $\sigma_{t=i}$ coincides precisely with the regular automorphism. Here, the modular group linked with the twisted trace is defined by $(\sigma_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ while the twist $\sigma=\sigma_{t=i}$ defines the related regular automorphism.\bigskip To verify the 2nd property of \eqref{prop-kmsweight}, we use \eqref{morphalg-modul-z}, \eqref{modulargroup-z} and \eqref{twistrace} to compute the RHS of ii) \eqref{prop-kmsweight}. One has \begin{align} \varphi(\sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}(f)\star(\sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}(f))^\dag)&=\int d^4x\ \sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}(f)\star\sigma_{-\frac{i}{2}}(f^\dag)=\int d^4x\ \sigma_{\frac{i}{2}}(f\star\sigma_{-i}(f^\dag))\nonumber\\ &=\int d^4x\ f\star\sigma_{-i}(f^\dag)=\int d^4x\ \sigma(\sigma_{-i}(f^\dag))\star f =\varphi(f^\dag\star f)\label{proof-kmsweight}. \end{align} Hence $\varphi(f)=\int d^4x\ f(x)$ for any $f\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$ defines a KMS weight. \bigskip Now, the Theorem [6.36] of the 1st of ref. \cite{kuster} guarantees, for each pair $(a,b)\in\mathbb{A}$, the existence of a bounded continuous function $f:\Sigma\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Sigma$ is the strip defined by $\{z\in\mathbb{C},\ 0\le\textrm{Im}(z)\le 1\}$, such that one has \begin{equation} f(t)=\varphi(\sigma_t(a)\star b),\ \ f(t+i)=\varphi(b\star\sigma_t(a)),\label{KMS-abst} \end{equation} where it is easy to realize that eqn. \eqref{KMS-abst} is an abstract version of the KMS condition.\bigskip Note that $\sigma_t$ \eqref{sigmat-modul} defines ``time translations" since one has $\sigma_t(\phi)(x_0,\vec{x})=\phi(x_0+\frac{3t}{\kappa},\vec{x})$. Now we introduce the GNS representation of $\mathcal{M}_\kappa$, $\pi_{GNS}:\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)\to\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$, defined as usual by $\pi_{GNS}(\phi)\cdot v=\phi\star v$ for any $v\in\mathcal{H}$ where $\mathcal{H}$ is the Hilbert space unitary equivalent to $L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$ discussed in the subsection \ref{section31}. Then, we compute \begin{eqnarray} \pi_{GNS}(\sigma_t\phi)\cdot\omega&=&(\sigma_t\phi)\star\omega=\sigma_t(\phi\star(\sigma_t^{-1}\omega)) =(\sigma_t\odot\pi_{GNS}(\phi)\odot\sigma_t^{-1})\cdot(\omega)\nonumber\\ &=&((\Delta_T)^{it}\odot\pi_{GNS}(\phi)\odot(\Delta_T)^{-it})\cdot\omega\label{compo2}, \end{eqnarray} for any $\omega\in\mathcal{H}$ and any $\phi\in\mathcal{M}_\kappa$, where $\odot$ stands for the composition law of maps (not to be confused with the convolution product) and $\Delta_T$ is the Tomita operator given by \begin{equation} \Delta_T=e^{\frac{3P_0}{\kappa}}, \end{equation} which coincides with \eqref{modul-4d} and such that $\sigma_t=(\Delta_T)^{it}$. Eqn. \eqref{compo2} indicates that the modular group defined by $\{\sigma_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ generates a ``temporal" evolution for the operators stemming from the Weyl quantization map $Q$. \bigskip \section{Characterization of the Hilbert space.}\label{apendixC} The Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ related to the Hilbert product \eqref{hilbert-product} can be obtained canonically from the GNS construction by completing the linear space $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ with respect to the natural norm \begin{equation} ||f||^2=\langle f,f\rangle=\int d^4x\ \left(f^\dag\star f\right)(x)=\int d^4x\ |f^\dag(x)|^2. \end{equation} Unitary equivalence between $\mathcal{H}$ and $L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$ can be easily shown by considering the (invertible) intertwiner map $A_\kappa:\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)\to L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$ which is defined for any $f\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ by \begin{equation} (A_\kappa f)(x)=\int \frac{dp^0}{2\pi} dy_0\ e^{iy_0p^0}{f}(x_0+y_0,e^{-p^0/\kappa}\vec{x}),\label{intertwin} \end{equation} with \begin{equation} {\overline{(A_\kappa f)}}(x)=f^\dag(x)\label{conjug-unitar}. \end{equation} It follows immediately that $||A_\kappa f||^2_2=\int d^4x\ {\overline{(A_\kappa f)}}(x)(A_\kappa f)(x)=\int d^4x\ |f^\dag(x)|^2=||f||^2$. Therefore $A_\kappa $ defines an isometry which, owing to the density of $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ in $\mathcal{H}$, extends to $\mathcal{H}\to L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$ while surjectivity of $A_\kappa$ stems directly from the existence of $A_\kappa^{-1}$ together with density of $\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^4)$. This proves that $A_\kappa$ is unitary together with the unitary equivalence mentioned above. Note that one verifies that $A_\kappa^{-1}$ is simply given by \begin{equation} (A_\kappa^{-1}f)(x)=\int \frac{dp^0}{2\pi} dy_0e^{-ip^0y_0}f(x_0+y_0,e^{-p^0/\kappa}\vec{x}),\label{intertwin-invers} \end{equation} for any $f\in\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{S}_c)$ so that \eqref{conjug-unitar} takes the convenient form $f^\dag(x)=(A_\kappa^{-1}\bar{f})(x)$.

\section{An intuitive view of SVRG as approximate stochastic Newton descent} \label{append:sec:svrg-intuition} Here we present an intuitive view of SVRG as approximate stochastic Newton descent, which is the inspiration behind our work. Gradient descent solves the optimization problem $\htheta = \arg \min_\theta f(\theta)$, where the function is a sum of $n$ functions $f(\theta) = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n f_i(\theta)$, using \begin{align*} \theta_{t+1} = \theta_t - \eta \nabla f(\theta_t), \end{align*} and stochastic gradient descent uniformly samples a random index at each step \begin{align*} \theta_{t+1} = \theta_t - \eta_t \nabla f_i(\theta_t). \end{align*} \begin{center} \scalebox{1.0}{\framebox{ \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth} \begin{itemize} \item \textbf{Outer loop:} \item $g \gets \nabla f(\theta_t) = \sum_{i=1}^n \nabla f_i(\theta_t)$ \item Let $d$ be the descent direction \item \begin{itemize} \item \textbf{Inner loop:} \item Choose a random index $k$ \item $d \gets d - \eta ( \nabla f_k(\theta_t + d) - \nabla f_k(\theta_t) + g)$ \end{itemize} \item $\theta_{t+1} = \theta_t + d$ \end{itemize} \end{minipage} }} \end{center} SVRG \cite{johnson2013accelerating} improves gradient descent and SGD by having an outer loop and an inner loop. Here, we give an intuitive explanation of SVRG as stochastic proximal Newton descent, by arguing that \begin{itemize} \item each outer loop approximately computes the Newton direction $-(\nabla^2 f)^{-1} \nabla f$ \item the inner loops can be viewed as SGD steps solving a proximal Newton step $ \min_d \langle \nabla f, d \rangle + \frac{1}{2} d^\top (\nabla^2 f) d$ \end{itemize} First, it is well known \cite{bubeck2015convex} that the Newton direction is exactly the solution of \begin{align} \min_d \langle \nabla f(\theta), d \rangle + \frac{1}{2} d^\top [\nabla^2 f(\theta)] d . \label{eq:newton-dir} \end{align} Next, let's consider solving \eqref{eq:newton-dir} using gradient descent on a function of $d$, and notice that its gradient with respect to $d$ is \begin{align*} \nabla f(\theta) + [\nabla^2 f(\theta)] d , \end{align*} which can be approximated through $f$'s Taylor expansion ($[\nabla^2 f(\theta)] d \approx \nabla f(\theta + d) - \nabla f(\theta)$) as \begin{align*} \nabla f(\theta) + [\nabla f(\theta + d) - \nabla f(\theta)] . \end{align*} Thus, SVRG's inner loops can be viewed as using SGD to solve proximal Newton steps in outer loops. And it can be viewed as the power series identity for matrix inverse $H^{-1} = \sum_{i=0}^\infty (I - \eta H)$, which corresponds to unrolling the gradient descent recursion for the optimization problem $H^{-1} = \arg \min_\Omega \operatorname{Tr}\left( \frac{1}{2} \Omega^\top H \Omega - \Omega \right) $.

\begin{document} \bibliographystyle{amsplain} \title{Character degree sums and real representations of finite classical groups of odd characteristic} \author {C. Ryan Vinroot} \date{} \maketitle \begin{abstract} Let $\FF_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, and let $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ and $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ denote the symplectic and orthogonal groups of similitudes over $\FF_q$, respectively. We prove that every real-valued irreducible character of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ or $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation, and we find the sum of the dimensions of the real representations of each of these groups. We also show that if $\bG$ is a classical connected group defined over $\FF_q$ with connected center, with dimension $d$ and rank $r$, then the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $\bG(\FF_q)$ is bounded above by $(q+1)^{(d+r)/2}$. Finally, we show that if $\bG$ is any connected reductive group defined over $\FF_q$, for any $q$, the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $\bG(\FF_q)$ is bounded below by $q^{(d-r)/2}(q-1)^r$. We conjecture that this sum can always be bounded above by $q^{(d-r)/2}(q+1)^r$. \\ \\ 2000 {\it Mathematics Subject Classification:} 20C33, 20G40 \end{abstract} \section{Introduction} Given a finite group $G$, and an irreducible complex representation $(\pi, V)$ of $G$ which is self-dual (that is, has a real-valued character), one may ask whether $(\pi, V)$ is a real representation. Frobenius and Schur gave a method of answering this question by introducing an invariant, which we denote $\ep(\pi)$, or $\ep(\chi)$ when $\chi$ is the character of $\pi$ (called the Frobenius-Schur indicator), which gives the value $0$ when $\chi$ is not real-valued, $1$ when $\pi$ is a real representation, and $-1$ when $\chi$ is real-valued but $\pi$ is not a real representation (see \cite[Chapter 4]{Is76}). For example, if $S_n$ is the symmetric group on $n$ elements, it is known that all of the representations of $S_n$ are real (and, in fact, rational). It follows from results of Frobenius and Schur that the sum of all of the dimensions of the irreducible representations of $S_n$ is equal to the number of elements in $S_n$ which square to the identity element. Now consider the group $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ of invertible linear transformations on an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field $\FF_q$ with $q$ elements, where $q$ is the power of a prime $p$. Not every irreducible character of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ is real-valued, however, every real-valued irreducible character of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation. That is, $\ep(\pi) = 0$ or $1$ for every irreducible representation $\pi$ of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$. This follows from Ohmori's result \cite{Oh77} that every irreducible character of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ has rational Schur index 1 (also proved by Zelevinsky \cite{Ze81}), and a direct proof is given by Prasad \cite{Pr98}. This result also follows from a theorem of Gow \cite{Go83}, which states that when $q$ is the power of an odd prime, the sum of the dimensions of the irreducible representations of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ is equal to the number of symmetric matrices in the group (also obtained by Klyachko \cite{Kl83} and Macdonald \cite{Mac95} for all $q$). Gow's proof actually implies that the {\em twisted} Frobenius-Schur indicator (see Section \ref{realreps}) of an irreducible representation of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$, with respect to the transpose-inverse automorphism, is always $1$. Using the result that every real-valued character of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation, in Section \ref{realsums}, we compute the sum of the dimensions of the real representations of the group. This gives one way to compare the size of the set of real representations to the size of the set of all representations of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$. In Section \ref{realreps} of this paper, we consider the groups of symplectic and orthogonal similitudes over a finite field, denoted $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ and $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ respectively, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime. The main results of Section \ref{realreps}, which are Theorems \ref{GSpReal} and \ref{GOReal}, state that, as in the case of the group $\GL(n, \FF_q)$, every real-valued irreducible character of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ or $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation. There is a very direct proof in the case of the groups $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, which comes from the fact that every irreducible representation of the orthogonal groups $\gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, is a real representation, another result of Gow \cite{Go85}. Also in \cite{Go85}, Gow proves that a real-valued character of the symplectic group $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, is the character of real representation if and only if the central element $-I$ acts trivially, and in particular, has irreducible real-valued characters which are not the characters of real representations. It may seem to be a surprising result, then, that there are no such characters for the group of symplectic similitudes $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ by Theorem \ref{GSpReal}. However, the situation is similar for the finite special linear group, $\SL(n, \FF_q)$, where in the case that $n$ is congruent to $2$ mod $4$ and $q$ is congruent to $1$ mod $4$ the group has real-valued characters which are not characters of real representations (see \cite{Go81}), while all irreducible real-valued characters of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ are characters of real representations. So, in this instance, the relationship between the characters of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ and $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ is similar to the relationship between the characters of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ and $\SL(n, \FF_q)$. In Section \ref{realsums}, we apply the results of Section \ref{realreps} to compute expressions for the sum of the dimensions of the real representations of the groups $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ and $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, in Theorems \ref{GSpRealSum} and \ref{GORealSum}. By results of Frobenius and Schur and Theorems \ref{GSpReal} and \ref{GOReal}, we need only count the number of elements in each group which square to the identity element. In the resulting expressions, we obtain a term which is the sum of all of the dimensions of the representations of $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ and $\gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$. This sum has been computed for $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ by Gow in the case that $q$ is congruent to $1$ mod $4$ in \cite{Go85}, and by the author in the case that $q$ is congruent to $3$ mod $4$ in \cite{Vi05}. This sum has not been computed in the case of the orthogonal groups $\gO^{\pm}(n, \FF_q)$, however, and so we do this in Section \ref{OrthogSums}, with the result given in Theorem \ref{OrthSum}. We also give several corollaries for the special orthogonal groups in Section \ref{OrthogSums}. In the last three sections, we focus on the following result of Kowalski \cite[Proposition 5.5]{Ko08}, which he obtains in the context of sieving applications. \begin{theorem} [Kowalski] \label{KoThm} Let $\bG$ be a split connected reductive group with connected center over $\bar{\FF}_q$, defined over $\FF_q$. Let $d$ be the dimension of $\bG$, let $r$ be the rank of $\bG$, let $W$ be the Weyl group of $\bG$, and let $G = \bG(\FF_q)$. Then, the sum of the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$ is bounded above as follows: $$ \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)} \chi(1) \leq (q+1)^{(d+r)/2} \left(1 + \frac{2r|W|}{q-1} \right).$$ \end{theorem} Kowalski also notes that in the cases of the groups $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ and $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ ($q$ the power of an odd prime), by results of Gow \cite{Go83} and the author \cite{Vi05}, the factor $1 + \frac{2r|W|}{q-1}$ may be removed from the bound in Theorem \ref{KoThm}. In Section \ref{IneqLemmas}, we prove several inequalities which we apply to improve Theorem \ref{KoThm} in the cases of orthogonal groups. In particular, in Theorem \ref{MainBound}, which is the main result of Section \ref{Bound}, we prove that the factor $1 + \frac{2r|W|}{q-1}$ may be removed from the bound in Theorem \ref{KoThm} for any connected classical group (removing the restriction of being split) with connected center which is defined over $\FF_q$, with $q$ the power of an odd prime. In the case of the unitary group $\U(n, \FF_{q^2})$, this follows from a specific formula for the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters due to Thiem and the author \cite{ThVi07}. The other groups to check are the special orthogonal groups $\SO(2n+1, \FF_q)$ and the connected orthogonal similitude groups $\GO^{\pm, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$, which is where our results from Sections \ref{OrthogSums} and \ref{IneqLemmas} are applied. Finally, in Section \ref{Lower}, we turn to the general case of a finite reductive group with connected center. We use the Gelfand-Graev character to prove, in Proposition \ref{LowerProp}, that if $\bG$ is a connected reductive group with connected center defined over $\FF_q$ (for any $q$) with dimension $d$ and rank $r$, then the sum of the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $\bG(\FF_q)$ is bounded below by $q^{(d-r)/2}(q-1)^r$. We notice that in the cases of the finite general linear, unitary, and symplectic similitude groups (for $q$ odd), the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters can actually be bounded above by $q^{(d-r)/2}(q+1)^r$, and we conjecture that this is the case for all finite reductive groups with connected center. \\ \\ {\bf Acknowledgments. } The author thanks Julio Brau for checking some of the calculations made in Section \ref{OrthogSums}. \section{Real representations of finite classical groups} \label{realreps} Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma$ an automorphism of $G$ such that $\sigma^2$ is the identity. Let $(\pi, W)$ be an irreducible complex representation of $G$, and suppose that ${^\sigma \pi} \cong \hat{\pi}$, where $\hat{\pi}$ is the contragredient representation of $\pi$ and ${^\sigma \pi}$ is defined by ${^\sigma \pi}(g) = \pi(\sigma(g))$. If $\chi$ is the character of $\pi$, note that ${^\sigma \pi} \cong \hat{\pi}$ if and only if ${^\sigma \chi} = \bar{\chi}$. From the isomorphism ${^\sigma \pi} \cong \hat{\pi}$, there must exist a nondegenerate bilinear form $B_{\sigma}: W \times W \rightarrow \CC$, unique up to scalar by Schur's Lemma, such that $$ B_{\sigma}({^\sigma \pi}(g) u, \pi(g) v) = B_{\sigma}(u, v), \;\; \text{ for all } g \in G, \, u, v \in W.$$ Since switching the variables of $B_{\sigma}$ gives a bilinear form with the same property, and the bilinear form is unique up to scalar, then $B_{\sigma}$ must be either symmetric or skew-symmetric. That is, we have $$B_{\sigma}(u, v) = \varepsilon_{\sigma}(\pi) B_{\sigma}(v, u) \;\; \text{ for all } u, v \in W,$$ where $\ep_{\sigma}(\pi) = \pm 1$. If ${^\sigma \pi} \not\cong \hat{\pi}$, then define $\ep_{\sigma}(\pi) = 0$. We will also write $\ep_{\sigma}(\pi) = \ep_{\sigma}(\chi)$. In the case that $\sigma$ is the identity automorphism, then $\ep_{\sigma}(\pi) = \ep(\pi)$ is just the classical Frobenius-Schur indicator of $\pi$. In this case, if $\chi$ is the character of $\pi$, then $\ep(\chi) = 0$ exactly when $\chi$ is not real-valued, and when $\chi = \bar{\chi}$, then $\ep(\chi) = 1$ if $\chi$ is the character of a real representation, and $\ep(\chi) = -1$ otherwise. In the case that $\sigma$ is an order $2$ automorphism, the invariant $\ep_{\sigma}(\pi)$ is called the {\em twisted} Frobenius-Schur indicator of $\pi$, which was first considered by Mackey \cite{Ma58}, and later studied in more detail by Kawanaka and Matsuyama \cite{KaMa90}. For any finite group $G$, let $\Irr(G)$ denote the set of complex irreducible characters of $G$. The twisted Frobenius-Schur indicators satisfy the following identity (see \cite{KaMa90}), which reduces to the classical Frobenius-Schur involution formula in the case that $\sigma$ is trivial: $$ \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(G)} \ep_{\sigma}(\chi) \chi(1) = \big| \{ g \in G \, \mid \, \sigma(g) = g^{-1} \} \big|.$$ If $G$ is a finite group with $(\pi, W)$ an irreducible complex representation with character $\chi$, and $z$ is a central element of $G$, then by Schur's Lemma $\pi(z)$ acts by a scalar on $W$. We let $\omega_{\pi}(z)$, or $\omega_{\chi}(z)$, denote this scalar. If $\sigma$ is an order $2$ automorphism of $G$ and $z$ is a central element of $G$, we define $G(\sigma, z)$ to be the following central extension of $G$: $$ G(\sigma, z) = \langle G, \tau \; \mid \; \tau^2 = z, \tau^{-1} g \tau = \sigma(g) \text{ for all } g \in G \rangle.$$ Note that $G$ is an index $2$ subgroup of $G(\sigma, z)$. In the case that $z = 1$, we just have that $G(\sigma, 1)$ is the split extension of $G$ by $\sigma$. We have the following properties of the representations of $G$ and $G(\sigma, z)$, and their Frobenius-Schur indicators, which were proven in \cite[Section 2]{Vi05}. \begin{proposition} \label{induce} Let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$, and $\chi^{+}$ the induced character ${\rm Ind}_G^{G(\sigma, z)}(\chi)$. Then: \begin{enumerate} \item $\chi^{+}$ is irreducible if and only if ${^\sigma \chi} \neq \chi$. In this case, we have $\ep(\chi^{+}) = \ep(\chi) + \omega_{\chi}(z) \ep_{\sigma}(\chi)$. \item If ${^\sigma \chi} = \chi$, then $\chi^+ = \psi_1 + \psi_2$, where $\psi_1$ and $\psi_2$ are irreducible characters of $G(\sigma, z)$. In this case, we have $\ep(\psi_1) + \ep(\psi_2) = \ep(\chi) + \omega_{\chi}(z) \ep_{\sigma}(\chi)$. Also, each $\psi_i$ is an extension of the character $\chi$, and $\ep(\psi_1) = \ep(\psi_2)$. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} In statement 2 in the proposition above, although the last claim is not specifically proven in \cite[Section 2]{Vi05}, it follows from the definition of the induced character that each $\psi_i$ is an extension of $\chi$, and it follows from the same calculation as in \cite[Lemma 2.3]{Vi05} that we have $\ep(\psi_i) = \frac{1}{2}(\ep(\chi) + \omega_{\chi}(z)\ep_{\sigma}(\chi))$ for $i=1,2$, so that $\ep(\psi_1) = \ep(\psi_2)$. The next lemma is used in the proof of the first main result of this section. \begin{lemma} \label{MainLemma} Let $G$ be a finite group, and $\sigma$ an order 2 automorphism of $G$. Suppose that every character of $G(\sigma, z)$ is real-valued, and that every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ satisfies $\ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = \omega_{\chi}(z)$. Then, every real-valued character $\chi$ of $G$ satisfies $\ep(\chi) = 1$, and every irreducible character $\psi$ of $G(\sigma, z)$ satisfies $\ep(\psi) = 1$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Let $\chi$ be an irreducible real-valued character of $G$, so that $\ep(\chi) = \pm 1$. We are assuming that $\ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = \omega_{\chi}(z) = \pm 1$, so that in particular we have ${^\sigma \chi} = \bar{\chi}$. Since $\chi$ is real-valued, then ${^\sigma \chi} = \chi$, and by Proposition \ref{induce}, $\chi^+ = \psi_1 + \psi_2$, where $$ \ep(\psi_1) + \ep(\psi_2) = \ep(\chi) + \omega_{\chi}(z) \ep_{\sigma}(\chi).$$ Now, we have $\omega_{\chi}(z) \ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = 1$ by assumption, and $\ep(\chi) = \pm 1$, $\ep(\psi_1) = \ep(\psi_2) = \pm 1$, by Proposition \ref{induce} and by assumption. The only possibility is $\ep(\chi) = 1$ and $\ep(\psi_i) = 1$. For the second statement, every irreducible character of $G(\sigma, z)$ is either extended or induced from an irreducible character of $G$, since $G$ is an index $2$ subgroup. We have just checked that whenever $\psi$ is an irreducible of $G(\sigma, z)$ which is extended from $G$, then $\ep(\psi) = 1$. Now assume that $\psi = {\rm Ind}_G^{G(\sigma, z)}(\chi)$ for some irreducible $\chi$ of $G$. By Proposition \ref{induce}, we must have ${^\sigma \chi} \neq \chi$, and so $\chi \neq \bar{\chi}$ since we are assuming $\ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = \pm 1$. From Proposition \ref{induce}(1), we have $\ep(\psi) = \ep(\chi) + \omega_{\chi}(z) \ep_{\sigma}(\chi)$. Now, $\ep(\chi) = 0$ since $\chi \neq \bar{\chi}$, and $\omega_{\chi}(z) \ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = 1$ by assumption. Thus $\ep(\psi) = 1$. \end{proof} Let $\FF_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime. Let $V = \FF_q^{2n}$, and let $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ be a nondegenerate skew-symmetric form on $V$ (of which there is only one equivalence class, by \cite[Theorem 2.10]{Gr02}). The group of all elements $g$ of $\GL(V)$ which leave $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ invariant up to a scalar multiple is called the {\em symplectic group of similitudes on $\FF_q^{2n}$} (or the {\em conformal symplectic group on $\FF_q^{2n}$}) which we will denote as $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ (this group is also denoted as $\CSp(2n, \FF_q)$). That is, $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ is the group of elements $g$ of $\GL(2n, \FF_q)$ such that $\langle gv, gw \rangle = \mu(g) \langle v, w \rangle$ for all $v, w \in V$, where $\mu(g) \in \FF_q^{\times}$ is a scalar depending only on $g$. Then $\mu: \GSp(2n, \FF_q) \rightarrow \FF_q^{\times}$ is a character called the {\em similitude character}, and the symplectic group over $\FF_q$, denoted $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$, is the kernel of $\mu$. Now consider the case that $G = \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, and we let $\sigma$ be the order $2$ automorphism of $G$ defined by $\sigma(g) = \mu(g)^{-1} g$, where $\mu$ is the similitude character. We have the following results for the group $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ proven previously by the author, the first statement in \cite[Theorem 6.2]{Vi05}, and the second in \cite{Vi04}. \begin{proposition} \label{factor} Let $G = \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime. Then: \begin{enumerate} \item Every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ satisfies $\ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = \omega_{\chi}(-I)$, where $\sigma(g) = \mu(g)^{-1} g$. \item For any $g \in G$, we may write $g = h_1 h_2$ such that $h_1^2 = I$, $\mu(h_1) = -1$, and $h_2^2 = \mu(g) I, \mu(h_2) = - \mu(g)$. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} We are now ready to prove the following result. \begin{theorem} \label{GSpReal} Let $G = \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, and $q$ the power of an odd prime. Then: \begin{enumerate} \item[i.] If $\chi$ is an irreducible real-valued character of $G$, then $\ep(\chi) = 1$. \item[ii.] If $\sigma$ is the order $2$ automorphism of $G$ defined by $\sigma(g) = \mu(g)^{-1} g$, then every irreducible character $\psi$ of $G(\sigma, -I)$ satisfies $\ep(\psi) = 1$. \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Since $\ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = \omega_{\chi}(-I)$ for every irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$, then by Lemma \ref{MainLemma}, it is enough to show that every irreducible character of $G(\sigma, -I)$ is real-valued. Equivalently, we must show that every element of $G(\sigma, -I)$ is conjugate to its inverse. We prove this by applying the factorization given by Proposition \ref{factor}(2). First, let $g \in G \subset G(\sigma, -I)$. Write $g = h_1 h_2$ as in Proposition \ref{factor}(2). Then, $$g^{-1} = h_2^{-1} h_1^{-1} = \mu(g)^{-1} h_2 h_1.$$ If we conjugate $g$ by $h_1 \tau$, we obtain $$ (h_1 \tau) g (h_1 \tau)^{-1} = h_1 (\tau g \tau^{-1}) h_1 = h_1 (\mu(g)^{-1} h_1 h_2) h_1 = \mu(g)^{-1} h_2 h_1 = g^{-1},$$ and so $g$ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$. Now let $g \tau \in G(\sigma, -I) \setminus G$, and again write $g = h_1 h_2$ as in Proposition \ref{factor}(2). In this case, $$(g\tau)^{-1} = \tau^{-1}\mu(g)^{-1} h_2 h_1 = -\mu(g) \tau h_2 h_1 = -\mu(g) \mu(h_2)^{-1} h_2 h_1 \tau = h_2 h_1 \tau,$$ since $\mu(h_2) = - \mu(g)$. Now conjugate $g\tau$ by $h_1$, and we have $$ h_1(g\tau)h_1 = h_2 \tau h_1 = h_2 h_1 \tau = (g \tau)^{-1}.$$ So, $g\tau$ is conjugate to its inverse, and all characters of $G(\sigma, -I)$ are real-valued. \end{proof} Gow \cite{Go83} proved that the split extension of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ by the transpose-inverse automorphism has the property that all of its characters are characters of real representations. This is analogous to our result for the central extension of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ in Theorem \ref{GSpReal}(ii). Now consider a nondegenerate symmetric form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ on a vector space $V = \FF_q^n$ over a finite field $\FF_q$, where $q$ is odd. Similar to the symplectic case, the {\em orthogonal group of similitudes on $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$} ({\em or conformal orthogonal group}) is the group of elements $g \in GL(V)$ which leave the form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ invariant up to a scalar multiple. When the form does not need to be emphasized, we will denote this group by $\GO(n, \FF_q)$ (the group is sometimes denoted ${\rm CO}(n, \FF_q)$). As in the symplectic case, we let $\mu$ denote the similitude character, where if $g \in \GO(n, \FF_q)$, then $\langle gu, gv \rangle = \mu(g) \langle u, v \rangle$ for all $u, v \in V$. In particular, the orthogonal group $\gO(n, \FF_q)$ for the form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ is the kernel of the homomorphism $\mu: \GO(n, \FF_q) \rightarrow \FF_q^{\times}$. When $n = 2m+1$ is odd, any symmetric form on $V$ gives an isomorphic group (see \cite[Chapter 9]{Gr02}), and in fact the group $\GO(2m+1, \FF_q)$ is just the direct product of its center with the special orthogonal group $\SO(2m+1, \FF_q)$ \cite[Lemma 1.3]{Sh80}. So, we will not consider the odd case. When $n = 2m$ is even, however, there are two different equivalence classes of symmetric forms, split and nonsplit (see \cite[Chapter 9]{Gr02} or \cite[Section 15.3]{DiMi91}), giving two non-isomorphic groups denoted $\GO^+(2m, \FF_q)$ and $\GO^-(2m, \FF_q)$, respectively. When considering both cases, and the type of form makes a difference in the result, we will write $\GO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$. Similarly, we let ${\rm O}^{+}(n, \FF_q)$ denote a split orthogonal group, ${\rm O}^-(n, \FF_q)$ the non-split orthogonal group, and in the case that $n$ is odd, we just write $\gO(n, \FF_q)$ for the unique orthogonal group. When considering the split and non-split orthogonal groups at the same time, we use the notation $\gO^{\pm}(n, \FF_q)$. We also use $\gO(n, \FF_q)$ for any of these orthogonal groups when the general case is considered. We now study the real-valued characters of the groups $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$. We could proceed in a fashion similar to the case of the group $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, by defining an automorphism $\sigma(g) = \mu(g)^{-1} g$ on $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$. The exact same argument will work, since in \cite{Vi06} the author proved the appropriate factorization result, and $\ep_{\sigma}(\chi) = 1$ for every irreducible character $\chi$ of any orthogonal similitude group. However, a more direct argument is possible here, coming from the result of Gow \cite[Theorem 1]{Go85} that for odd $q$, every irreducible character of any orthogonal group $\gO(n, \FF_q)$ has Frobenius-Schur indicator $1$. We give this direct argument in the following, and the proof is very similar to that of \cite[Theorem 2]{Vi06}. \begin{theorem} \label{GOReal} Let $G = \GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime. Then every irreducible real-valued character $\chi$ of $G$ satisfies $\ep(\chi) = 1$. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Let $\chi$ be an irreducible real-valued character of $G$, which is the character of the representation $(\pi, W)$. Then there is a nondegenerate bilinear form $B$ on $W$, unique up to scalar, such that $$B(\pi(g) u, \pi(g) v) = B(u, v) \quad \text{for all } g \in G, \, u, v \in W,$$ which must be either symmetric or skew-symmetric, and $\ep(\chi) = 1$ is equivalent to $B$ being a symmetric form. Now let $Z$ be the center of $G$, which consists of all nonzero scalar matrices, where we have $\mu(bI) = b^2$ for any $b \in \FF_q^{\times}$. Let $H = Z \cdot \gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, which is an index $2$ subgroup of $G$, since $G/H \cong \FF_q^{\times}/ (\FF_q^{\times})^2$. Note that any irreducible representation of $H$ is an extension of an irreducible of $\gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, since $Z$ is central. Since $H$ is an index $2$ subgroup of $G$, then $\pi$ is either extended or induced from an irreducible representation of $H$. First suppose that $\pi$ is extended from an irreducible $\rho$ of $H$, with character $\psi$. Then $\psi$ is the extension of a real-valued irreducible character $\theta$ of $\gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, and say $\theta$ is the character of the representation $(\phi, W)$. By the result of Gow \cite{Go85}, we have $\ep(\theta) = 1$, which means there is a nondegenerate bilinear form on $W$, unique up to scalar, which is invariant under the action of $G$ under $\phi$, which must be symmetric. But the form $B$ is such a form, since $(\pi, W)$ is an extension of $(\rho, W)$. Therefore, $B$ must be symmetric and $\ep(\chi) = 1$ in this case. Now suppose that $\pi$ is induced from an irreducible representation of $H$, which means that $\pi$ restricted to $H$ is isomorphic to the direct sum of two irreducible representations, $(\rho_1, W_1)$ and $(\rho_2, W_2)$ of $H$, which are extended from irreducible representations $(\phi_1, W_1)$ and $(\phi_2, W_2)$ of $\gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, respectively. If $\theta_1$ is the character of $\phi_1$, then again by Gow's result, $\ep(\theta_1) = 1$, and there is a nondegenerate bilinear form on $W_1$, unique up to scalar, which is invariant under the action of $\phi_1$ and is symmetric. We can make the same conclusion as in the previous case if we can show that the form $B$ is nondegenerate on $W_1$, since then $B$ would be symmetric on a nonzero subspace, and thus symmetric everywhere. If $B$ is nondegenerate on $W_1 \times W_2$, then for $u \in W_1$, $v \in W_2$, and $g \in G$, we would have $B(\pi(g) u, \pi(g) v) = B(\phi_1(g) u_1, \phi_2(g) u_2)$, which would imply $\phi_1 \cong \hat{\phi_2} \cong \phi_2$. This, in turn, would imply that $\rho_1 \cong \rho_2$, but it is impossible for an irreducible representation to restrict to the direct sum of $2$ isomorphic representations of an index $2$ subgroup \cite[Corollary 6.19]{Is76}. Then $B$ must be degenerate on $W_1 \times W_2$, and so must be nondegenerate on $W_1 \times W_1$, since it is nondegenerate on $W$. Thus, $B$ must be symmetric, and $\ep(\chi) = 1$. \end{proof} In summary, when $q$ is odd, all real-valued irreducible characters of the groups $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ (see the Introduction), $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, and $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ have Frobenius-Schur indicator $1$, and the same is also true for the special orthogonal groups $\SO(2n+1, \FF_q)$ \cite[Theorem 2]{Go85}. These are all examples of groups of $\FF_q$-points of classical groups with connected center (although the algebraic groups $\GO^{\pm}(2n)$ are disconnected). Another example one might consider is the finite unitary group $\U(n, \FF_{q^2})$, but this is known to have irreducible characters with Frobenius-Schur indicator equal to $-1$ (see \cite{Oh96}, for example). \section{Degree sums of real-valued characters} \label{realsums} As mentioned in the Introduction, every real-valued irreducible character of the group $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation. It follows from the classical Frobenius-Schur involution formula (see \cite[Chapter 4]{Is76}) that when $G = \GL(n, \FF_q)$, we have $$ \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1) = | \{ g \in G \, \mid \; g^2 = I \}|.$$ We may count the number of elements in $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ which square to the identity by summing the indices of the centralizer of an element in each order 2 conjugacy class. We will make such counts for several groups, and the following notation will be helpful for the expressions obtained. For any $q > 1$, and any integers $m, k \geq 0$ such that $m \geq k$, the {\em $q$-binomial} or {\em Gaussian binomial coefficients} are defined as $$ \binom{m}{k}_q = \frac{(q^m - 1) (q^{m-1} - 1) \cdots (q^{m-k+1} - 1)}{(q^k -1)(q^{k-1} -1) \cdots (q-1)}.$$ It follows from induction and the identity $\binom{m}{k}_q = \binom{m-1}{k}_q + q^{m-k} \binom{m-1}{k-1}_q$, $m \geq 1$, that the Gaussian binomial coefficients are polynomials in $q$. The Gaussian binomial coefficients have analogous properties to the standard binomial coefficients, for example, we have $\binom{m}{k}_q = \binom{m}{m-k}_q$. We now count the number of elements in $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ which square to the identity, when $q$ is the power of an odd prime. Each such element in $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ must have elementary divisors only of the form $x \pm 1$, and so is conjugate to a diagonal element with only $1$'s and $-1$'s on the diagonal. An element in the conjugacy class of elements with exactly $k$ eigenvalues which are equal to $1$, and $n-k$ eigenvalues equal to $-1$, has centralizer isomorphic to $\GL(k, \FF_q) \times \GL(n-k, \FF_q)$. Since $|\GL(m, \FF_q)| = q^{m(m-1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^m (q^i -1)$, then the size of the conjugacy class containing the elements whose square is $I$ and which have exactly $k$ eigenvalues equal to $1$ is $$ \frac{|\GL(n, \FF_q)|}{|\GL(k, \FF_q) \times \GL(n-k, \FF_q)|} = q^{k(n-k)} \frac{\prod_{i=1}^n (q^i -1)}{\prod_{i=1}^k (q^i -1) \prod_{i=1}^{n-k} (q^i -1)} = q^{k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_q.$$ Summing the size of each conjugacy class, for $0 \leq k \leq n$, gives the result \begin{equation} \label{GLReal} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1) = \sum_{k=0}^n q^{k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_q. \end{equation} Using the fact that as a polynomial in $q$, the degree of $\binom{n}{k}_q$ is $k(n-k)$, we calculate that the sum in (\ref{GLReal}), as a polynomial in $q$, has degree $n^2/2$ when $n$ is even, and degree $(n^2 - 1)/2$ when $n$ is odd. On the other hand, from a result of Gow \cite[Theorem 4]{Go83}, the sum of the degrees of all of the irreducible characters of $\GL(n,\FF_q)$ as a polynomial in $q$ has degree $(n^2 + n)/2$. The ratio of the sum of the degrees of real-valued characters over the sum of all degrees in this case is roughly $q^{n/2}$ when $n$ is even and $q^{(n+1)/2}$ when $n$ is odd. This gives a quick comparison in measure of the set of real-valued irreducible characters of $\GL(n,\FF_q)$ to the set of all irreducible characters, relative to degree size. By Theorem \ref{GSpReal}, when $q$ is odd, every real-valued character of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation, and so the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ is equal to the number of elements in $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ which square to $I$. Similar to the case of $\GL(n, \FF_q)$, we may count these elements to obtain an expression in $q$ for this character degree sum. \begin{theorem} \label{GSpRealSum} Let $q$ be the power of an odd prime, let $G = \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, and let $H = \Sp(2n, \FF_q)$. Then, the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of $G$ is given by \begin{align*} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1) = \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} + \sum_{ \chi \in {\rm Irr}(H)} \chi(1) & = \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} + \frac{|\Sp(2n, \FF_q)|}{|\GL(n, \FF_q)|} \\ & = \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} + q^{n(n+1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^n (q^i + 1). \end{align*} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} We must count the number of elements of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ such that $g^2 = I$. Such an element must satisfy $\mu(g) = \pm 1$. If $\mu(g) = 1$, then we have $g \in \Sp(2n, \FF_q)$, and we may count such elements using results on the conjugacy classes and their centralizers in $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ due to Wall \cite{Wa62}. An element in $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ which squares to the identity must have elementary divisors only of the form $x \pm 1$, and thus must be conjugate in $\GL(2n, \FF_q)$ to a diagonal element with only $1$'s and $-1$'s on the diagonal. By \cite[p. 36, Case B]{Wa62}, the only such elements which are in $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ must have an even number $2k$ of eigenvalues equal to $1$, and so $2(n-k)$ eigenvalues equal to $-1$, and there is a unique such conjugacy class. Also by \cite[p. 36, Case B]{Wa62}, an element in this conjugacy class has centralizer in $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ with size equal to $|\Sp(2k, \FF_q) \times \Sp(2(n-k), \FF_q)|$. Using the fact that $|\Sp(2m, \FF_q)| = q^{m^2} \prod_{i=1}^m (q^{2i} - 1)$, we have that the size of the conjugacy class of $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ consisting of elements with $2k$ eigenvalues equal to $1$ and $2(n-k)$ eigenvalues equal to $-1$ and which square to the identity is $$ \frac{|\Sp(2n, \FF_q)|}{|\Sp(2k, \FF_q) \times \Sp(2(n-k), \FF_q)|} = q^{2k(n-k)} \frac{\prod_{i=1}^n (q^{2i} - 1)}{\prod_{i=1}^k (q^{2i}-1) \prod_{i=1}^{n-k} (q^{2i}-1)} = q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2}.$$ Thus, the total number of elements in $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ such that $g^2 = I$ and $\mu(g) = 1$ is \begin{equation} \label{FirstTerm} \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2}. \end{equation} Now suppose $g \in \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ such that $g^2 = I$ and $\mu(g) = -1$. In other words, $g^2 = -\mu(g) I$. By \cite[Proposition 4]{Vi04}, there is a unique such conjugacy class in $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, and by \cite[Proposition 3.2]{Vi05}, the centralizer in $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ of any element in this conjugacy class has size $(q-1)|\GL(n, \FF_q)|$. Therefore, the total number of elements in $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ such that $g^2 = I$ and $\mu(g)=-1$ is \begin{equation} \label{SecondTerm} \frac{|\GSp(2n, \FF_q)|}{(q-1)|\GL(n, \FF_q)|} = \frac{|\Sp(2n, \FF_q)|}{|\GL(n, \FF_q)|} = q^{n(n+1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^n (q^i + 1). \end{equation} From \cite[Theorem 3]{Go85} and \cite[Corollary 6.1]{Vi05}, the expression (\ref{SecondTerm}) is also the sum of the degrees of all irreducible characters of the symplectic group $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ when $q$ is odd. Finally, the total number of elements in $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ which square to $I$ is the sum of (\ref{FirstTerm}) and (\ref{SecondTerm}), as desired. \end{proof} From Theorem \ref{GSpRealSum}, the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ is a polynomial in $q$ of degree $n^2 + n$, while from \cite[Corollary 6.1]{Vi05}, the sum of the degrees of all of the irreducible characters of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ is a polynomial in $q$ of degree $n^2 + n + 1$. In this case, the ratio of the sum of all degrees to the sum of the degrees of real-valued characters is roughly $q$, which is quite different from the $\GL(n, \FF_q)$ case. If we let $H = \Sp(2n, \FF_q)$, $q$ odd, then it follows from the Frobenius-Schur involution formula that the expression (\ref{FirstTerm}) is exactly \begin{equation} \label{SpReal} \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} = \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(H)} \ep(\chi) \chi(1) = \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(H) \atop{ \ep(\chi) = 1 }} \chi(1) - \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(H) \atop{ \ep(\chi) = -1}} \chi(1). \end{equation} In the case that $q \equiv 1($mod $4)$, it follows from a result of Wonenburger \cite[Theorem 2]{Wo66} and the fact that $-1$ is a square in $\FF_q$, that $\ep(\chi) = \pm 1$ for every irreducible character of $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$. When $q \equiv 3($mod $4)$, however, there are characters of $\Sp(2n, \FF_q)$ which are not real-valued, by \cite[Lemma 5.3]{FeZu82}. Combining these facts with (\ref{SpReal}) and Theorem \ref{GSpRealSum}, we obtain the following. \begin{corollary} \label{SpSum} Let $q$ be the power of an odd prime, let $H = \Sp(2n, \FF_q)$, and let $G = \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$. Then, $$ 2 \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(H) \atop{ \ep(\chi) = 1 }} \chi(1) + \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(H) \atop{ \ep(\chi) = 0 }} \chi(1) = \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1).$$ If $q \equiv 1($mod $4)$, then for $\delta = 1$ or $-1$, we have $$ \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(H) \atop{ \ep(\chi) = \delta }} \chi(1) = \frac{1}{2} \left(q^{n(n+1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^n (q^i + 1) + \delta \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} \right).$$ \end{corollary} We now turn to the orthogonal similitude groups, $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$. By Theorem \ref{GOReal}, every real-valued character of $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ has Frobenius-Schur indicator $1$, and so again we find the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of this group by counting the number of elements which square to the identity. Just as in the case of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$, such an element must either be orthogonal, or skew-orthogonal (that is, has similitude $-1$). We prove that in the group $\GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$, the latter elements form a single conjugacy class, whereas there are no such elements in $\GO^-(2n, \FF_q)$. These facts follow from the classification of conjugacy classes in $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ due to Shinoda \cite{Sh80}, although we are also able to give an elementary proof, which is essentially the same as the proof of a result of Gow \cite[Lemma 1]{Go88} for symplectic groups. We also find the centralizer of a skew-orthogonal order $2$ element in the group $\GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$. The following result could certainly be obtained for a more general type of conjugacy class in the group of orthogonal similitudes over an arbitrary field (with characteristic not $2$), similar to the results for groups of symplectic similitudes in \cite[Proposition 4]{Vi04} and \cite[Proposition 3.2]{Vi05}, but we do not need such a result here. \begin{lemma} \label{GOConjClass} Let $G = \GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime. Consider the set $K = \{ g \in G \, \mid \, g^2 = I, \mu(g) = -1 \}$. Then we have the following: \begin{enumerate} \item If $G = \GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$, then the set $K$ forms a single conjugacy class in $G$. The centralizer in $G$ of any element of $K$ is isomorphic to $\FF_q^{\times} \times \GL(n, \FF_q)$. \item If $G = \GO^-(2n, \FF_q)$, then the set $K$ is empty. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Let $V = \FF_q^{2n}$, let $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ denote a nondegenerate symmetric form on $V$, and let $G$ be the orthogonal group of similitudes on $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$. If $g \in G$ such that $g^2 = I$ and $\mu(g) = -1$, then the only eigenvalues of $g$ are $1$ and $-1$. Let $V_1$ and $V_{-1}$ be the eigenspaces of $g$ for $1$ and $-1$, respectively, and note that the assumption $\mu(g) = -1$ forces $V_1$ and $V_{-1}$ to be totally isotropic spaces with respect to $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$. This implies both $V_1$ and $V_{-1}$ have dimension $n$, and through the inner product $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$, $V_{-1}$ is isomorphic to the dual space of $V_1$. If $v_1, \ldots v_n$ is any basis of $V_1$, choose $w_1, \ldots, w_n$ to be a dual basis of $V_{-1}$, so that $\langle v_i, w_j \rangle = \delta_{ij}$. With respect to this basis, the form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ can be represented by the matrix $\left( \begin{array} {cc} 0 & I \\ I & 0 \end{array} \right)$, which means that it must be a split form on $V$. That is, assuming that an element $g \in G$ with the above properties exists, we cannot have that $G$ is a group corresponding to a non-split form, which proves statement $2$. We may now assume $G = \GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$. With respect to the basis we have chosen, $g$ must be the element $\left( \begin{array} {cc} I & 0 \\ 0 & -I \end{array} \right)$, thus determining the conjugacy class of $g$ uniquely. Now, without loss of generality, we may assume the form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ is given by the matrix $\left( \begin{array} {cc} 0 & I \\ I & 0 \end{array} \right)$, and the element $g = \left( \begin{array} {cc} I & 0 \\ 0 & -I \end{array} \right)$. It is a direct computation that the centralizer of $g$ in $G$ consists of the following set of elements: $$ \left\{ \left( \begin{array} {cc} A & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda ({^T A}^{-1}) \end{array} \right) \, \mid \, A \in \GL(n, \FF_q), \lambda \in \FF_q^{\times} \right\}.$$ By mapping the element $\left( \begin{array} {cc} A & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda ({^T A}^{-1}) \end{array} \right)$ to $(\lambda, A)$, we see that this group is isomorphic to $\FF_q^{\times} \times \GL(n, \FF_q)$, completing the proof of statement 1. \end{proof} We now use the above result to give expressions for the sums of the degrees of real-valued characters of the groups $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$. The key result due to Gow \cite[Theorem 1]{Go85} we use here, which we also used in the previous section, is that any irreducible character $\chi$ of any finite orthogonal group $\gO(n, \FF_q)$ (where $q$ is odd) satisfies $\ep(\chi) = 1$. \begin{theorem} \label{GORealSum} The sum of the degrees of the irreducible real-valued characters of the groups $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, are given as follows: \begin{enumerate} \item If $G = \GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$ and $H = \gO^+(2n, \FF_q)$, then $$\sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1) = \sum_{ \chi \in {\rm Irr}(H)} \chi(1) + \frac{|\gO^+(2n, \FF_q)|}{|\GL(n, \FF_q)|} = \sum_{ \chi \in {\rm Irr}(H)} \chi(1) + 2q^{n(n-1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} (q^i + 1).$$ \item If $G = \GO^-(2n, \FF_q)$, and $H = \gO^-(2n, \FF_q)$, then $$ \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1) = \sum_{ \chi \in {\rm Irr}(H)} \chi(1).$$ \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} From Theorem \ref{GOReal}, the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ is equal to the number of elements $g$ in the group such that $g^2 = I$. In the case $G = \GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$, we add the number of such elements in the group $\gO^+(2n, \FF_q)$ to the number of these elements such that $\mu(g) = -1$. The number of elements in $\gO^+(2n, \FF_q)$ which square to the identity is equal to the sum of the degrees of all of the irreducible characters of $\gO^{+}(2n, \FF_q)$, by the Frobenius-Schur formula and \cite[Theorem 1]{Go85}. By Lemma \ref{GOConjClass}(1), the number of order $2$ elements in $\GO^+(2n, \FF_q)$ such that $\mu(g) = -1$ is equal to the index of the centralizer of the unique conjugacy class of such elements in the group, which is given by $$ \frac{|\GO^+(2n, \FF_q)|}{|\FF_q^{\times} \times \GL(n, \FF_q)|} = \frac{|\gO^+(2n, \FF_q)|}{|\GL(n, \FF_q)|} = \frac{ 2q^{n(n-1)} (q^n - 1) \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} (q^{2i} - 1)}{ q^{n(n-1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^n(q^i - 1)} = 2q^{n(n-1)/2} \prod_{i=1}^{n-1} (q^i + 1).$$ Adding this quantity to the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $\gO^+(2n, \FF_q)$ gives the result for this case. In the case $G = \GO^-(2n, \FF_q)$, by Lemma \ref{GOConjClass}(2), the only elements in $G$ which square to the identity are in the group $H = \gO^-(2n, \FF_q)$. So, the sum of the degrees of the real-valued irreducible characters of $G$ is equal to the number of elements in $H$ which square to the identity, which, as in the previous case, is equal to the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $H$. \end{proof} In Theorem \ref{OrthSum} below, we find expressions in $q$ for the sums of the degrees of the orthogonal groups $\gO(n, \FF_q)$, which, combined with Theorem \ref{GORealSum}, give us expressions for the sums of the degrees of the real-valued irreducible characters of $\GO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ as polynomials in $q$. There are several similarities between Theorems \ref{GSpRealSum} and \ref{GORealSum}(1). Both sums have a part corresponding to the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of the symplectic or orthogonal subgroups, respectively. Also, both sums have a part which is the index of a general linear group as a subgroup of the symplectic or orthogonal subgroups, which corresponds to the size of a unique conjugacy class. This part of the sum is conveniently factorizable as a polynomial in $q$. The main difference is that this part of the sum corresponds to the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of the symplectic group in Theorem \ref{GSpRealSum}, but it does not correspond to the sum of the degrees for the orthogonal group in Theorem \ref{GORealSum}(1). This transposed difference of the role of this part of the sum is essentially due to the difference between the defining bilinear forms, one being skew-symmetric, and the other symmetric, which switches the roles of the two different types of order $2$ elements which must be counted in each case. As a result, we will see in the next section that the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of a finite orthogonal group is not, in general, a conveniently factorizable polynomial in $q$, but rather another sum involving Gaussian binomial coefficients. \section{Character degree sums for orthogonal groups} \label{OrthogSums} In this section we compute an expression for the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of the orthogonal groups over finite fields of odd characteristic. By the main theorem of \cite{Go85}, every irreducible character of such a group is the character of a real representation, and so by the classical Frobenius-Schur involution formula, the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters is equal to the number of elements which square to the identity in the group. So, in order to find the character degree sum for these finite orthogonal groups, we must count the number of involutions, which we do using the results on conjugacy classes in these groups due to Wall \cite{Wa62}. If $g \in {\rm O}(n, \FF_q)$ and $g^2 = I$, then any elementary divisor of $g$ must be either $x+1$ or $x-1$, so over $\GL(n,\FF_q)$ is conjugate to a diagonal matrix with only $1$'s and $-1$'s on the diagonal. By the results of Wall \cite[p. 36, Case B]{Wa62} (see also \cite[Section 2.2]{Fu00}), if there are $j$ eigenvalues of $g$ equal to $1$, and $n-j$ eigenvalues equal to $-1$, where $0 < j < n$, then there are exactly $2$ conjugacy classes in ${\rm O}(n, \FF_q)$ of such elements which square to the identity. Let us label these conjugacy classes by the notation $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$, where $j$ is the number of eigenvalues equal to $1$, $n-j$ the number of eigenvalues equal to $-1$, and the sign $\pm$ distinguishes the two corresponding conjugacy classes. The following summarizes the results we use from \cite{Wa62} for these conjugacy classes and the order of the centralizers of elements in these conjugacy classes. \begin{proposition} [Wall] \label{OrthCent} Let $G$ be an orthogonal group over $\FF_q$ with $q$ the power of an odd prime. \begin{enumerate} \item If $G = {\rm O}(n, \FF_q)$ with $n$ odd, and $j$ is even, then an element in the conjugacy class $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$ has centralizer size $|\gO^{\pm}(k, \FF_q) \times \gO(n-j, \FF_q)|$. If $j$ is odd, an element in the conjugacy class $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$ has centralizer size $|\gO(j, \FF_q) \times \gO^{\pm}(n-j, \FF_q)|$. \item If $G = \gO^+(n, \FF_q)$ with $n$ even, and $j$ is even, then an element in the conjugacy class $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$ has centralizer size $|\gO^{\pm}(j, \FF_q) \times \gO^{\pm}(n-j, \FF_q)|$. If $j$ is odd, an element in either of the conjugacy classes $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$ has centralizer size $|\gO(j,\FF_q) \times \gO(n-j, \FF_q)|$. \item If $G = \gO^-(n, \FF_q)$ with $n$ even, and $j$ is even, then an element in the conjugacy class $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$ has centralizer size $|\gO^{\pm}(j, \FF_q) \times \gO^{\mp}(n-j, \FF_q)|$. If $j$ is odd, an element in either of the conjugacy classes $(j, n-j)^{\pm}$ has centralizer size $|\gO(j,\FF_q) \times \gO(n-j, \FF_q)|$. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} Using Proposition \ref{OrthCent}, and that the orders of the orthogonal groups are given by $$ |\gO(2m+1, \FF_q)| = 2q^{m^2} \prod_{i=1}^m (q^{2i}-1), \quad \text{ and } \quad |\gO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)| = 2q^{m(m-1)} (q^m \mp 1) \prod_{i=1}^{m-1} (q^{2i} -1),$$ when $q$ is the power of an odd prime, we may obtain the following. \begin{theorem} \label{OrthSum} The sums of the character degrees of the orthogonal groups over $\FF_q$, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, are given as follows: \begin{enumerate} \item If $G = {\rm O}(n, \FF_q)$, where $n = 2m+1$ is odd, then $$ \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(G)} \chi(1) = 2 \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ \item If $G = {\rm O}^{\pm}(n, \FF_q)$, where $n=2m$ is even, then $$ \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(G)} \chi(1) = \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} + q^{m-1} (q^m \mp 1) \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} q^{2k(m-k-1)} \binom{m-1}{k}_{q^2}.$$ \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} In each case, we must sum the indices of the centralizers of the conjugacy classes of elements which square to the identity, using Proposition \ref{OrthCent}. In case 1, when $G = \gO(2m+1, \FF_q)$, first consider the two conjugacy classes of type $(j, 2m+1-j)^{\pm}$, when $j=2k$ is even, $0 < k \leq m$. Then, the sizes of the two centralizers $C^{\pm}$ of these classes are $$|C^{\pm}| = |\gO^{\pm}(2k, \FF_q) \times \gO(2(m-k)+1, \FF_q)| = 4q^{k(k-1) + (m-k)^2} (q^k \mp 1) \prod_{i=1}^{k-1} (q^{2i}-1) \prod_{i=1}^{m-k} (q^{2i} - 1).$$ Computing the sum of the indices of these centralizers, we obtain $$ \frac{|G|}{|C^{+}|} + \frac{|G|}{|C^{-}|} = q^{2k(m-k+1)} \frac{\prod_{i=1}^m (q^{2i} - 1)}{\prod_{i=1}^k (q^{2i} - 1) \prod_{i=1}^{m-k} (q^{2i}-1)} = q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ Consider now the two conjugacy classes of type $(j, 2m+1-j)^{\pm}$, when $j = 2k+1$ is odd, so $2m+1 - j = 2(m-k)$, and $0 \leq k < m$. The orders of the two centralizers $C^{\pm}$ in this case are $$ |C^{\pm}| = |\gO(2k+1, \FF_q) \times \gO^{\pm}(2(m-k), \FF_q)|,$$ which are the same as in the previous case, except that $k$ is replaced by $m-k$. Thus, the sum of the indices of these centralizers is $$ \frac{|G|}{|C^+|} + \frac{|G|}{|C^-|} = q^{2(m-k)(k+1)} \binom{m}{m-k}_{q^2}.$$ Taking the sum of these terms, and replacing $k$ by $m-k$ in the sum, we obtain $$ \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} q^{2(m-k)(k+1)} \binom{m}{m-k}_{q^2} = \sum_{k=1}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}$$ elements from these conjugacy classes which square to the identity. Adding in the two central elements $\pm I$, we obtain that the total number of elements in $\gO(2m+1, \FF_q)$ which square to the identity, and so the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters is $$ 2 \sum_{k=1}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} + 2 = 2\sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ Now consider case 2, when $G = \gO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$. If $G = \gO^+(2m, \FF_q)$, then the two conjugacy classes of type $(j, 2m-j)^{\pm}$, where $j = 2k$ is even, $0 < k < m$, have centralizers $C^{\pm}$ with orders $|\gO^{\pm}(2k, \FF_q) \times \gO^{\pm}(2(m-k), \FF_q)|$, so $$|C^{\pm}| = 4 q^{k(k-1) + (m-k)(m-k-1)} (q^k \mp 1)(q^{m-k} \mp 1) \prod_{i=1}^{k-1}(q^{2i}-1) \prod_{i=1}^{m-k-1}(q^{2i}-1).$$ If $G = \gO^-(2m, \FF_q)$, the two corresponding conjugacy classes have centralizers $C^{\pm}$ with orders $|\gO^{\pm}(2k, \FF_q) \times \gO^{\mp}(2(m-k), \FF_q)|$, which is the same as above, except that $q^{m-k} \mp 1$ is replaced by $q^{m-k} \pm 1$. In both cases, the sum of the indices of these centralizers is computed to be $$ \frac{|G|}{|C^+|} + \frac{|G|}{|C^-|} = q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ Adding in the two central elements, these conjugacy classes contribute exactly \begin{equation} \label{EvenCon} \sum_{k=1}^{m-1} q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} + 2 = \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}. \end{equation} When $G = \gO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$, the two conjugacy classes of type $(2k+1, 2m-(2k+1))^{\pm}$, $0 \leq k \leq m-1$, have centralizers of the same order $|\gO(2k+1, \FF_q) \times \gO(2(m-k-1) + 1, \FF_q)|$. The union of these two conjugacy classes thus has cardinality $$ \frac{2|\gO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)|}{|\gO(2k+1, \FF_q) \times \gO(2(m-k-1) + 1, \FF_q)|} = q^{2k(m-k-1) + m -1} (q^m \mp 1) \binom{m-1}{k}_{q^2}.$$ Taking the sum of these contributions from $k=0$ to $k=m-1$, and adding to (\ref{EvenCon}), the result is obtained. \end{proof} In the case that $n=2m+1$ is odd, the orthogonal group $\gO(n, \FF_q)$ is just the direct product $\{\pm I\} \times \SO(2m+1, \FF_q)$ of the center with the special orthogonal group. The sum of the degrees of the characters of $\SO(2m+1, \FF_q)$ is thus exactly half the sum for $\gO(2m+1, \FF_q)$ obtained in case 1 of Theorem \ref{OrthSum}. That is, we have the following. \begin{corollary} \label{SOcor} Let $q$ be the power of an odd prime, and let $G = \SO(2m+1, \FF_q)$. Then $$ \sum_{\chi \in \Irr(G)} \chi(1) = \sum_{k = 0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ \end{corollary} When $n = 2m$ is even, Gow \cite[Theorem 2]{Go85} proved that every real-valued character of $\SO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$ is the character of a real representation, and in the case $n = 4l$ is divisible by $4$, every character of $\SO^{\pm}(4l, \FF_q)$ is real-valued. To find the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of $\SO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$ in these cases, then, we have to count the number of elements of the group which square to the identity. This is exactly the number of elements in $\gO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$ which square to the identity and which have determinant $1$, and so have an even number of eigenvalues equal to $-1$ (and an even number equal to $1$). This is just the first part of the sum obtained in case 2 of Theorem \ref{OrthSum}. Curiously, this is exactly what is obtained as the sum of the degrees of the real-valued characters of $\GL(m, \FF_{q^2})$ in (\ref{GLReal}). We summarize these observations below. \begin{corollary} \label{SOcor2} Let $q$ be the power of an odd prime, let $H = \SO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$, and let $G = \GL(m, \FF_{q^2})$. Then, $$\sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(H) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1) = \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} = \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G) \atop{ \chi \; \RR \text{-valued}}} \chi(1).$$ In the case that $m = 2l$ is also even, this is the sum of the degrees of all of the characters of the group $\SO^{\pm}(4l, \FF_q)$. \end{corollary} \section{Inequality Lemmas} \label{IneqLemmas} In this section, we prove several inequalities in preparation for the results in Section \ref{Bound}. We begin with an elementary bound for the Gaussian binomial coefficients. \begin{lemma} \label{binomineq} For any integers $m \geq 1$, $1 \leq k \leq m$, we have $$ \binom{m}{k}_q \leq q^{k(m-k) - m+1} (q+1)^{m-1}.$$ \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The inequality reduces to $1 \leq 1$ when $m = 1$. If $k = 1$, then for any $m \geq 1$, we have $\binom{m}{1}_q = q^{m-1} + \cdots + q + 1 \leq (q+1)^{m-1}$. So, we may assume $k \geq 2$. Assume the inequality holds for $m=n-1$, for any $k \geq 1$. We use the identity $\binom{n}{k}_q = \binom{n-1}{k}_q + q^{n-k}\binom{n-1}{k-1}_q$, $k \geq 1$, which was mentioned in Section \ref{realsums}. By this identity and the induction hypothesis, and with $k \geq 2$, we have \begin{align*} \binom{n}{k}_q & \leq (q^{k(n-1-k)-n+2} + q^{k(n-k) -n+2})(q+1)^{n-2} = q^{k(n-1-k) - n+2} (q^k + 1)(q+1)^{n-2} \\ & \leq q^{k(n-1-k)-n+2}q^{k-1}(q+1)(q+1)^{n-2} = q^{k(n-k) - n+1} (q+1)^{n-1}, \end{align*} as desired. \end{proof} The next two Lemmas will be used to bound the expressions obtained in Section \ref{OrthogSums}. \begin{lemma} \label{EvenDimIneq} For any integer $m \geq 1$, and any $q > 1$, $$ \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} \leq \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 2(q+1)^{m^2-1} & \text{if $m$ is odd} \\ (q+1)^{m^2} & \text{if $m$ is even.} \end{array} \right.$$ \end{lemma} \begin{proof} From the symmetry in $k$ and $m-k$ in the sum, we have \begin{equation} \label{SymmSum} \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 2\sum_{k=0}^{(m-1)/2} q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \text{if $m$ is odd} \\ q^{m^2/2} \binom{m}{m/2}_{q^2} + 2\sum_{k=0}^{(m/2) - 1} q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \text{if $m$ is even.} \end{array} \right. \end{equation} From Lemma \ref{binomineq}, we have, for any $k \geq 1$, $$ \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} \leq q^{2k(m-k)-2m+2} (q^2 + 1)^{m-1} \leq q^{2k(m-k)-m+1} (q+1)^{m-1},$$ since $q^2 + 1 \leq q(q+1)$. Now, for $s = (m-1)/2$ if $m$ is odd, or $s = (m/2) - 1$ if $m$ is even, we have \begin{align} \label{Intermed} \sum_{k=0}^s q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \leq (q+1)^{m-1} \left( 1 + \sum_{k=1}^s q^{4k(m-k) - m+1} \right) \notag\\ & \leq (q+1)^{m-1} (q+1)^{4s(m-s) - m+1} = (q+1)^{4s(m-s)}, \end{align} since the exponent of $q$ in the sum is maximum when $k=s$. When $m$ is odd, then substituting $s=(m-1)/2$ and applying (\ref{SymmSum}) gives the desired result. When $m$ is even, then applying (\ref{Intermed}) with $s = (m/2) - 1$, and Lemma \ref{binomineq}, we have \begin{align*} q^{m^2/4} \binom{m}{m/2}_{q^2} + 2\sum_{k=0}^{(m/2) - 1} q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \leq q^{m^2 - m + 1}(q+1)^{m-1} + 2(q+1)^{m^2 - 4} \\ & \leq (q+1)^{m^2 - 4}(q^4 + 2) \leq (q+1)^{m^2}, \end{align*} as claimed for $m$ even. \end{proof} \begin{lemma} \label{OddDimIneq} For any integer $m \geq 0$, and any $q > 1$, $$ \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} \leq (q+1)^{m^2 + m}.$$ \end{lemma} \begin{proof} We may assume $m \geq 1$. Note that by switching the roles of $k$ and $m-k$, we obtain $$ \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} = \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k} q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} = \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2(m-k)} q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ It follows that we have $$2\sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} = \sum_{k=0}^m (q^{2k}+q^{2(m-k)})q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2}.$$ From the symmetry in $k$ and $m-k$ in the right-hand side of the above equation, we have \begin{equation*} \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} = \end{equation*} \begin{equation} \label{SymmSum2} =\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \sum_{k=0}^{(m-1)/2}(q^{2k} + q^{2(m-k)})q^{2k(m-k)}\binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \text{if $m$ is odd} \\ q^{m^2/2 + m}\binom{m}{m/2}_{q^2} + \sum_{k=0}^{(m/2)-1} (q^{2k} + q^{2(m-k)}) q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \text{if $m$ is even}. \end{array} \right. \end{equation} Let $s = (m-1)/2$ if $m$ is odd, and $s = (m/2)-1$ if $m$ is even. In the sums (\ref{SymmSum2}), the term $q^{2k} + q^{2(m-k)}$ takes its maximum value when $k=s$. Applying this, and the inequality (\ref{Intermed}), we have \begin{align} \label{Intermed2} \sum_{k=0}^s (q^{2k} + q^{2(m-k)}) q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \leq (q^{2s} + q^{2(m-s)}) \sum_{k=0}^s q^{2k(m-k)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} \notag \\ & \leq (q^{2s} + q^{2(m-s)})(q+1)^{4s(m-s)}. \end{align} When $m$ is odd and $s = (m-1)/2$, then by (\ref{Intermed2}) and (\ref{SymmSum2}), $$\sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} \leq (q^{m-1} + q^{m+1})(q+1)^{(m^2-1)/2} = q^{m-1}(q+1)^{m^2 + 1} \leq (q+1)^{m^2 + m},$$ as claimed. When $m$ is even, with $s = (m/2) -1$, apply (\ref{Intermed2}), together with (\ref{SymmSum2}) and Lemma \ref{binomineq} to obtain \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^m q^{2k(m-k+1)} \binom{m}{k}_{q^2} & \leq q^{m^2 + 1} (q+1)^{m-1} + (q^{m-2} + q^{m+2})(q+1)^{m^2 - 4} \\ & \leq q^{m^2 + 1} (q+1)^{m-1} + q^{m-2} (q^4 + 1)(q + 1)^{m^2 - 4} \\ & \leq q^2 (q+1)^{m^2 + m - 2} + (q+1)^{m^2 +m -2} \leq (q+1)^{m^2+m}, \end{align*} as desired. \end{proof} \section{An upper bound for character degree sums} \label{Bound} Let $\bG$ be a connected algebraic group with connected center over $\bar{\FF}_q$, defined over $\FF_q$ by some Frobenius map. By the {\em dimension} of $\bG$, we mean the dimension of $\bG$ as an algebraic variety over $\bar{\FF}_q$. The {\em rank} of $\bG$ is the dimension of a maximal torus of $\bG$. That is, if the rank of $\bG$ is $r$, then a maximal torus of $\bG$ is isomorphic to $(\bar{\FF}_q^{\times})^r$. In this section, we will consider the case when $\bG$ is a connected {\em classical} group with connected center, when $q$ is the power of an odd prime. For us, these are the groups $\GL(n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, $\SO(2n+1, \bar{\FF}_q)$, $\GSp(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, and a certain index $2$ subgroup of $\GO(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, denoted $\GO^{\circ}(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, which we describe now. Let $V$ be a $2n$-dimensional vector space over $\bar{\FF}_q$, with $q$ odd, and consider a nondegenerate symmetric form on $V$. Since $\bar{\FF}_q$ is algebraically closed, there is only one equivalence class of forms (by \cite[Theorem 4.4]{Gr02}, for example), which we may assume corresponds to the matrix $J = \left( \begin{array} {cc} 0 & I \\ I & 0 \end{array} \right)$. Consider the orthogonal group of similitudes $\GO(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$ of this form. For any $g \in \GO(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, then, we have ${^T g} = J \mu(g) g^{-1} J$. Since $g$ is conjugate to its transpose in $\GL(V)$, it follows that $g$ is conjugate to $\mu(g) g^{-1}$ in $\GL(V)$, and so they have the same determinant. In particular, we have ${\rm det}(g)^2 = \mu(g)^{2n}$. The subgroup consisting of elements with the property that ${\rm det}(g) = \mu(g)^n$ is a connected algebraic group (by an argument similar to that given in \cite[Section 15.2]{DiMi91}). So, we define \begin{equation} \label{GOconnDefn} \GO^{\circ} (2n, \bar{\FF}_q) = \{ g \in \GO(2n, \bar{\FF}_q) \, \mid \, {\rm det}(g) = \mu(g)^n \}, \end{equation} the connected component of the identity in the orthogonal group of similitudes. Note that $\SO(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$ is contained in $\GO^{\circ}(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, and its center consists of all scalar matrices. If we define the $\FF_q$-structure of $\GO^{\circ}(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$ by the standard Frobenius map $F$, which raises entries to the power of $q$, we get that the group of $\FF_q$-points is the index $2$ subgroup of the split orthogonal group of similitudes over $\FF_q$ satisfying the condition in (\ref{GOconnDefn}), which we denote $\GO^{+, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$. If we compose the standard Frobenius map with conjugation by an orthogonal reflection defined over $\FF_q$ (see \cite[Section 15.3]{DiMi91}), we get that the group of $\FF_q$-points of $\GO^{\circ}(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$ is the index $2$ subgroup of the non-split orthogonal group of similitudes over $\FF_q$ which satisfies (\ref{GOconnDefn}), which we denote $\GO^{-, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$. We may relate the character degree sums for the groups $\GO^{\pm, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$ to those for the orthogonal groups $\gO^{\pm}(2n, \FF_q)$ in the following way. \begin{lemma} \label{GOSumLemma} Let $q$ be the power of an odd prime, let $G = \GO^{\pm, \circ}(2m, \FF_q)$, and let $H = \gO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$. Then $$ \sum_{ \chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)} \chi(1) \leq (q-1) \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(H)} \chi(1).$$ \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Let $S = \SO^{\pm}(2m, \FF_q)$ be the special orthogonal group. Then $S$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ of index $q-1$, with $G/S \cong \FF_q^{\times}$ cyclic. From Clifford theory (see \cite[Chapter 6 and Theorem 11.7]{Is76}), the restriction of any irreducible character of $G$ to $S$ has a multiplicity-free decomposition, and each irreducible character of $S$ appears in the restriction to $S$ of at most $q-1$ characters of $G$. It follows that we have \begin{equation} \label{IneqOne} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)} \chi(1) \leq (q-1) \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(S)} \chi(1). \end{equation} Since $S$ is an index $2$ subgroup of $H$, every irreducible character of $H$ is extended or induced from an irreducible character of $S$. A character of $H$ which is extended from a character of $S$ has the same degree as that character of $H$, while that character of $S$ may be extended to give a second distinct irreducible of $H$. A character of $H$ which is induced from a character of $S$ has degree twice that of the character of $S$, but can also be induced by exactly one other distinct character of $S$. It follows that we have \begin{equation} \label{IneqTwo} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(S)} \chi(1) \leq \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(H)} \chi(1). \end{equation} The result follows from (\ref{IneqOne}) and (\ref{IneqTwo}). \end{proof} We may now prove the main result of this section, in which we improve Kowalski's Theorem \ref{KoThm} in the case of any connected classical group with connected center, as follows. \begin{theorem} \label{MainBound} Let $q$ be the power of an odd prime, and let $\bG$ be a connected classical group with connected center defined over $\FF_q$, where the rank of $\bG$ is $r$, and the dimension of $\bG$ is $d$. Then the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of the finite group $\bG(\FF_q)$ may be bounded as follows: $$ \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(\bG(\FF_q))} \chi(1) \leq (q+1)^{(d+r)/2}.$$ \end{theorem} \begin{proof} The dimensions and ranks of finite classical groups may be computed directly from their definitions (see \cite[Chapter 15] {DiMi91}, for example). If $\bG = \GL(n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, then $d = n^2$ and $r = n$. In this case, $\bG$ may have $\FF_q$-structure given by the standard Frobenius map, in which case $\bG(\FF_q) = \GL(n, \FF_q)$, or the standard Frobenius map composed with the transpose-inverse automorphism, in which case $\bG(\FF_q) = {\rm U}(n, \FF_{q^2})$, the finite unitary group defined over $\FF_q$. The case $\bG(\FF_q) = \GL(n, \FF_q)$ was considered by Kowalski \cite[p. 80]{Ko08}, and he showed that the sum of the degrees of the characters is indeed bounded above by $(q+1)^{(d+r)/2}$. When $\bG(\FF_q) = {\rm U}(n, \FF_{q^2})$, the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $\bG(\FF_q)$ was computed by Thiem and the author \cite[Theorem 5.2]{ThVi07} to be \begin{align*} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(\bG(\FF_q))} \chi(1) & = (q+1)q^2(q^3+1)q^4 \cdots (q^n + (1-(-1)^n)/2)\\ & \leq \prod_{i=1}^n (q+1)^i = (q+1)^{(n^2 + n)/2} = (q+1)^{(d+r)/2}. \end{align*} If $\bG = \GSp(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, then $d = 2n^2 + n +1$ and $r = n+1$, and we may assume $\bG$ has $\FF_q$-structure given by the standard Frobenius map, so that $\bG(\FF_q) = \GSp(2n, \FF_q)$. This case was also considered by Kowalski, and he noticed that by the formula given in \cite[Corollary 6.1]{Vi05}, the sum of the degrees of $\GSp(2n, \FF_q)$ is bounded above by $(q+1)^{(d+r)/2}$. We note that the results in \cite{Vi05} are proven only when $q$ is odd, and so we can only obtain this bound in the case $q$ is odd. If $\bG = \SO(2n+1, \bar{\FF}_q)$, then $d = 2n^2 + n$ and $r = n$, and again we may assume $\bG$ has $\FF_q$-structure given by the standard Frobenius map, and so $\bG(\FF_q) = \SO(2n+1, \FF_q)$. By Corollary \ref{SOcor} and Lemma \ref{OddDimIneq}, we have $$ \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(\bG(\FF_q))} \chi(1) = \sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k+1)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} \leq (q+1)^{n^2 + n} = (q+1)^{(d+r)/2}. $$ If $\bG = \GO^{\circ}(2n, \bar{\FF}_q)$, then $d = 2n^2 - n + 1$ and $r = n+1$. In this case, as explained above, $\bG$ can have $\FF_q$-structure given by the standard Frobenius map, so that $\bG(\FF_q) = \GO^{+, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$, or by the standard Frobenius map composed with conjugation by an orthogonal reflection defined over $\FF_q$, in which case $\bG(\FF_q) = \GO^{-, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$. We consider both cases at once, so let $\bG(\FF_q) = \GO^{\pm, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$. By Theorem \ref{OrthSum}(2) and Lemma \ref{GOSumLemma}, we have \begin{equation} \label{GOIntermed} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(\bG(\FF_q))} \chi(1) \leq (q-1) \left(\sum_{k=0}^n q^{2k(n-k)} \binom{n}{k}_{q^2} + q^{n-1} (q^n + 1) \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} q^{2k(n-k-1)} \binom{n-1}{k}_{q^2} \right). \end{equation} If $n$ is even, then by (\ref{GOIntermed}) and Lemma \ref{EvenDimIneq}, we have \begin{align*} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(\bG(\FF_q))} \chi(1) & \leq (q-1)\left( (q+1)^{n^2} + q^{n-1}(q^n + 1) 2(q+1)^{(n-1)^2-1} \right) \\ & \leq (q-1) \left( (q+1)^{n^2} + 2(q+1)^{n^2 - 1} \right) = (q+1)^{n^2 - 1}(q-1)(q+3) \\ & = (q+1)^{n^2 -1} (q^2 + 2q -3) \leq (q+1)^{n^2 + 1} = (q+1)^{(d+r)/2}, \end{align*} as required. Similarly, when $n$ is odd, then by (\ref{GOIntermed}) and Lemma \ref{EvenDimIneq}, we have \begin{align*} \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(\bG(\FF_q))} \chi(1) & \leq (q-1)\left( 2(q+1)^{n^2-1} + q^{n-1}(q^n + 1)(q+1)^{(n-1)^2} \right) \\ & \leq (q-1) \left( 2(q+1)^{n^2-1} + (q+1)^{n^2} \right) = (q+1)^{n^2 - 1}(q-1)(q+3) \\ & = (q+1)^{n^2 -1} (q^2 + 2q -3) \leq (q+1)^{n^2 + 1} = (q+1)^{(d+r)/2}, \end{align*} which was the last case to consider. \end{proof} \section{A lower bound and a conjecture} \label{Lower} We now consider the case that $\bG$ is any connected reductive group over $\bar{\FF}_q$ with connected center, defined over $\FF_q$, where $q$ is the power of some prime $p$ (we allow $p=2$ here). If $G = \bG(\FF_q)$, and $N$ is a maximal unipotent subgroup of $G$, then $N$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ \cite[Proposition 3.19(i)]{DiMi91}. The {\em Gelfand-Graev character} of $G$ is constructed by inducing a {\em nondegenerate} linear character from $N$ to $G$. For a detailed discussion on Gelfand-Graev characters and nondegenerate characters, see \cite[Section 8.1]{Ca85} or \cite[Chapter 14]{DiMi91}. The main result on the Gelfand-Graev character which we need is that its decomposition into a sum of irreducible characters of $G$ is multiplicity-free, a result which is due to Steinberg \cite{St67} in the general case. By applying this fact, we obtain the following lower bound for the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $G = \bG(\FF_q)$. \begin{proposition} \label{LowerProp} Let $\bG$ be a connected reductive group over $\bar{\FF}_q$ with connected center, defined over $\FF_q$, of dimension $d$ and rank $r$. Then the sum of the dimensions of the irreducible representations of the group $G = \bG(\FF_q)$ is bounded below as follows: $$ \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)} \chi(1) \geq q^{(d-r)/2} (q-1)^r.$$ \end{proposition} \begin{proof} Since the Gelfand-Graev character of $G = \bG(\FF_q)$ is multiplicity-free, then the degree of the Gelfand-Graev character gives a lower bound for the sum of the degrees of all of the irreducible characters of $G$. We give a lower bound for the degree of the Gelfand-Graev character to prove our claim. The {\em semisimple rank} of $\bG$, which we denote by $l$, is defined as the rank of $\bG/R(\bG)$, where $R(\bG)$ is the radical of $\bG$, which is the maximal closed, connected, normal, solvable subgroup of $\bG$ (see \cite[6.4.14]{Sp98}). The degree of the Gelfand-Graev character is the $p'$-part of the order of $G$, since it is induced from a linear character of a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. By \cite[Section 2.9]{Ca85}, the $p'$-part of the order of $G$ is given by $$ |\bZ(\FF_q)| \prod_{i=1}^l (q^{d_i} - \omega_i),$$ where $\bZ$ is the center of $\bG$, the $d_i$ are the degrees of the generators of the ring of polynomial invariants of the Weyl group $W$ of $\bG$, and the $\omega_i$ are roots of unity which are eigenvalues of a linear map on the algebra of polynomial invariants of $W$. Now, we have $|q^{d_i} - \omega_i| \geq q^{d_i} - 1 \geq q^{d_i - 1}(q-1)$. From \cite[Proposition 2.4.1(iv)]{Ca85}, we have $\sum_{i=1}^l (d_i - 1)$ is equal to the number of positive roots of the root system corresponding to the Weyl group $W$, and by \cite[Corollary 8.1.3(ii)]{Sp98}, this is equal to $(d-r)/2$. These observations give \begin{equation} \label{firstpart} \prod_{i=1}^l (q^{d_i} - \omega_i) \geq q^{\sum_{i=1}^l (d_i - 1)} (q-1)^l = q^{(d-r)/2} (q-1)^l. \end{equation} By \cite[Proposition 7.3.1(i)]{Sp98}, since $\bG$ is assumed to be a connected reductive group with connected center $\bZ$, we have $R(\bG) = \bZ$, where $\bZ$ is itself a torus. In particular, we have $r = l + {\rm dim}(\bZ)$, by the definition of semisimple rank. By \cite[Proposition 3.3.7]{Ca85} and the formula for the order of the $\FF_q$-points of a maximal torus \cite[Proposition 3.3.5]{Ca85}, like in \cite[p. 75]{Ko08}, this implies we have $|\bZ(\FF_q)| \geq (q-1)^{r - l}$. Combining this with (\ref{firstpart}) gives us the desired bound. \end{proof} Let us return to the question of a general upper bound for the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $\bG(\FF_q)$. When $\bG(\FF_q) = \GL(n, \FF_q)$, then the sum of the character degrees of $\bG(\FF_q)$ is given by (see \cite{Go83, Kl83, Mac95}) $$(q-1)q^2(q^3-1) \cdots (q^n - (1 - (-1)^n)/2),$$ which is, of course, bounded above by $q^{(n^2+n)/2} < q^{(n^2 - n)/2}(q+1)^n$. When $\bG(\FF_q) = {\rm U}(n, \FF_{q^2})$, then by the sum of the character degrees given in the proof of Theorem \ref{MainBound}, this can be seen to be bounded above by $q^{(n^2 - n)/2}(q+1)^n$ as well. Note that in these two cases, we have $(n^2 - n)/2 = (d-r)/2$ and $n = r$. When $\bG(\FF_q) = {\rm GSp}(2n, \FF_q)$, with $q$ odd, the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $\bG(\FF_q)$, by \cite[Corollary 6.1]{Vi05}, is $$ \frac{1}{2} q^{(n^2 + n)/2}(q-1) \left( \prod_{i=1}^n (q^i + 1) + \prod_{i=1}^n (q^i + (-1)^i) \right) \leq q^{n^2} (q+1)^{n+1},$$ where $n+1=r$ and $n^2 = (d-r)/2$. If $\bG(\FF_q)$ is $\SO(2n+1, \FF_q)$ or $\GO^{\pm, \circ}(2n, \FF_q)$, with $q$ odd, then we may check directly for small values of $n$ that the sum of the character degrees of these groups are bounded by $q^{(d-r)/2}(q+1)^r$ as well. We could perhaps prove this for all $n$ for these groups, although we would have to tighten the bounds found in Section \ref{IneqLemmas}. It would be much more satisfying to have a general proof using Deligne-Lusztig theory, along the same lines as Kowalski's proof of Theorem \ref{KoThm} in \cite{Ko08}. Based on these examples, we conclude by making the following conjecture for an upper bound for the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of a finite reductive group. We include the lower bound obtained in Proposition \ref{LowerProp} in the statement to stress the symmetry in these bounds. \begin{conjecture} Let $\bG$ be a connected reductive group over $\bar{\FF}_q$ with connected center, defined over $\FF_q$, of dimension $d$ and rank $r$. Then the sum of the degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G = \bG(\FF_q)$ may be bounded as follows: $$ q^{(d-r)/2}(q-1)^r \leq \sum_{\chi \in {\rm Irr}(G)} \chi(1) \leq q^{(d-r)/2}(q+1)^r.$$ \end{conjecture}

Roemi Ice Cream9:25:00 PM March 3rd 2012 After lunch together, my high school friend had another business so we splited, and so did Aji Adi and Bilal. Its only me, Hesna and Agung with no where to go. When Agung recomended an ice cream place..we're directly went there. yuhuuuu~ So its Roemi Ice cream. Another line of business by the owner of Mirota. After torn between sat inside or outside, and Thank God its gave me time to took some picture, we're finally sat outside and not on the sofa. hahaha Oh how i love Jogjakarta. I felt like so damn rich ! hahaha. Only its not my money that gets a lot, its the price thats oh so cheap, possible me to buy a lot. Its a big ice cream cafe, but the price is so friendly. Check the menu. It will be hard to find something this cheap in Jakarta. We ordered Blueberry Riffle, Bitter Chocolate and Strawberry gelato. And...its so yum yum <3 God, i ate a lot in this trip. No wonder i gain a lot :( This Ice cream cafe also sale cakes, unique chocolates, snack and milk powder from Mirota. And let me say it clearly..everything is cheap. Those beautiful cakes cost only Rp 50.000 ! haa, Jogjaa..jogjaaaa.. I bough one chocolate. It tasted good, but cadburry blackforest is my own personal chocolate heaven. Nothing compare to it, except feroro rocher :p For this delicious ice cream and chocolate, each of us only spend under Rp20.000. Extra wow ! hahaha Later i'll compare to another Jogjakarta's ice cream cafe. But for now..let me said GOOD NIGHT :D

The tuba is the largest and lowest-pitched musical instrument in the brass family. As with all brass instruments, the sound a tuba makes is produced by lip vibration into a large mouthpiece. The tuba first appeared in the mid-19th century, making it one of the newer instruments in the modern orchestra and concert band.

\begin{document} \title{The allelic partition for coalescent point processes} \author{\textsc{By Amaury Lambert } } \date{\today} \maketitle \noindent\textsc{Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires\\ UMR 7599 CNRS and UPMC Univ Paris 06\\ Case courrier 188\\ 4, Place Jussieu\\ F-75252 Paris Cedex 05, France}\\ \textsc{E-mail: }amaury.lambert@upmc.fr\\ \textsc{URL: }http://ecologie.snv.jussieu.fr/amaury/ \begin{abstract} \noindent Assume that individuals alive at time $t$ in some population can be ranked in such a way that the coalescence times between consecutive individuals are i.i.d. The ranked sequence of these branches is called a coalescent point process. We have shown in a previous work \cite{L} that splitting trees are important instances of such populations. Here, individuals are given DNA sequences, and for a sample of $n$ DNA sequences belonging to distinct individuals, we consider the number $S_n$ of polymorphic sites (sites at which at least two sequences differ), and the number $A_n$ of distinct haplotypes (sequences differing at one site at least). It is standard to assume that mutations arrive at constant rate (on germ lines), and never hit the same site on the DNA sequence. We study the mutation pattern associated with coalescent point processes under this assumption. Here, $S_n$ and $A_n$ grow linearly as $n$ grows, with explicit rate. However, when the branch lengths have infinite expectation, $S_n$ grows more rapidly, e.g. as $n \ln(n)$ for critical birth--death processes. Then, we study the frequency spectrum of the sample, that is, the numbers of polymorphic sites/haplotypes carried by $k$ individuals in the sample. These numbers are shown to grow also linearly with sample size, and we provide simple explicit formulae for mutation frequencies and haplotype frequencies. For critical birth--death processes, mutation frequencies are given by the harmonic series and haplotype frequencies by Fisher's logarithmic series. \end{abstract} \medskip \textit{Running head.} The allelic partition for coalescent point processes.\\ \textit{MSC Subject Classification (2000).} Primary 92D10; secondary 60-06, 60G10, 60G51, 60G55, 60G70, 60J10, 60J80, 60J85.\\ \textit{Key words and phrases.} coalescent point process -- splitting tree -- Crump--Mode--Jagers process -- linear birth--death process -- Yule process -- allelic partition -- infinite site model -- infinite allele model -- Poisson point process -- Lévy process -- scale function -- law of large numbers -- Kingman coalescent -- Fisher logarithmic series. \section{Introduction} \subsection{The coalescent point process} Splitting trees are those random trees where individuals give birth at constant rate $b$ during a lifetime with general distribution $\Lambda(\cdot)/b$, to i.i.d. copies of themselves (see \cite{GK}), where $\Lambda$ is a positive measure on $(0,\infty]$ with total mass $b$ called the \emph{lifespan measure}. In \cite{L}, we have shown that if the splitting tree is started from one individual with known birth time, say $0$, and known death time, then individuals alive at time $t$ can be ranked in such a way that the coalescence times between consecutive individuals are i.i.d. \begin{figure}[ht] \unitlength 2mm \linethickness{0.4pt} \begin{picture}(66,33)(-5,10) \put(4,39.875){\line(1,0){62}} \put(10,40){\line(0,-1){9}} \put(14,40){\line(0,-1){11.5}} \put(18,40){\line(0,-1){4}} \put(22,40){\line(0,-1){7}} \put(26,40){\line(0,-1){16}} \put(30,40){\line(0,-1){6}} \put(34,39.875){\line(0,-1){8.5}} \put(38,40){\line(0,-1){5.5}} \put(42,40){\line(0,-1){11.5}} \put(46,40){\line(0,-1){3.625}} \put(50,40){\line(0,-1){22}} \put(54,40){\line(0,-1){5}} \put(58,40){\line(0,-1){7.5}} \put(62,39.875){\line(0,-1){5}} \put(6,40){\line(0,-1){25}} \put(5.93,14.93){\line(0,-1){.8}} \put(5.93,13.33){\line(0,-1){.8}} \put(5.93,11.73){\line(0,-1){.8}} \put(9.93,30.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(8.33,30.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(6.73,30.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(13.93,28.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(12.152,28.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(10.374,28.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(8.596,28.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(6.819,28.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(17.805,35.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(16.205,35.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(14.605,35.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(21.93,32.93){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(20.152,32.93){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(18.374,32.93){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(16.596,32.93){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(14.819,32.93){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(25.93,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(24.025,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(22.12,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(20.215,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(18.311,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(16.406,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(14.501,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(12.596,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(10.692,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(8.787,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(6.882,23.93){\line(-1,0){.9524}} \put(29.93,33.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(28.33,33.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(26.73,33.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(33.93,31.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(32.152,31.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(30.374,31.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(28.596,31.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(26.819,31.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(37.93,34.43){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(36.33,34.43){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(34.73,34.43){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(41.93,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(40.047,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(38.165,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(36.283,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(34.4,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(32.518,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(30.636,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(28.753,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(26.871,28.43){\line(-1,0){.9412}} \put(45.93,36.43){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(44.33,36.43){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(42.73,36.43){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(49.93,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(47.974,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(46.019,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(44.063,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(42.107,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(40.152,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(38.196,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(36.241,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(34.285,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(32.33,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(30.374,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(28.419,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(26.463,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(24.507,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(22.552,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(20.596,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(18.641,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(16.685,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(14.73,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(12.774,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(10.819,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(8.863,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(6.907,17.93){\line(-1,0){.9778}} \put(53.93,34.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(52.33,34.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(50.73,34.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(57.93,32.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(56.152,32.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(54.374,32.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(52.596,32.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(50.819,32.43){\line(-1,0){.8889}} \put(61.93,34.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(60.33,34.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(58.73,34.93){\line(-1,0){.8}} \put(6,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$0$}} \put(10,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$1$}} \put(14,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$2$}} \put(18,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$3$}} \put(22,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$4$}} \put(26,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$5$}} \put(30,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$6$}} \put(34,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$7$}} \put(38,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$8$}} \put(42,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$9$}} \put(46,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$10$}} \put(50,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$12$}} \put(54,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$13$}} \put(58,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$14$}} \put(62,41){\makebox(0,0)[cc]{$15$}} \end{picture} \caption{ A coalescent point process for $n=16$ individuals.} \label{fig : coalpointproc} \end{figure} Specifically, let $N_t$ be the number of individuals alive at time $t$. The process $(N_t;t\ge 0)$ is a (homogeneous, binary) Crump--Mode--Jagers process, and is not Markovian unless $\Lambda$ has an exponential density or is a point mass at $\infty$. To these $N_t$ individuals, give labels $0,1,\ldots, N_t-1$ according to the (unique) order complying with the following rule : `any individual comes before her own descendants, but after her younger siblings and their descendants'. For any integers $i,k$ such that $0\le i<i+k< N_t$, we let $C_{i,i+k}$ be the \emph{coalescence time} (or \emph{divergence time}) between individual $i$ and individual $i+k$, that is, the time elapsed since the lineages of individual $i$ and $i+k$ have diverged. Also define $H_{i+1}:=C_{i,i+1}$. Then recall from \cite{L} that for a splitting tree, \begin{equation} \label{eqn : def coal} C_{i,i+k}=\max\{H_{i+1},\ldots,H_{i+k}\} \end{equation} and conditional on $\{N_t\not=0\}$, the sequence $(H_i;1\le i \le N_t-1)$ has the same law as a sequence of i.i.d. r.v. killed at its first value $\ge t$. As a by-product, we get that the law of $N_t$ conditional on $\{N_t\not=0\}$ is geometric. The aforementioned property comes from the fact that the jumping contour process of the splitting tree is a Lévy process $X=(X_s;s\ge0)$ with Lévy measure $\Lambda$ and drift coefficient $-1$. Then the excursions of the contour process between consecutive visits of points at height $t$ are i.i.d. excursions of $X$. As a consequence, the $(H_i)$ are also i.i.d., and their common distribution is that of $H':=t-\inf_s X_s$, where $X$ is started at $t$ and killed upon hitting $\{0\}\cup(t,+\infty)$. Note that all branch lengths but the last one are distributed as some r.v. $H$ which is $H'$ conditioned to be smaller than $t$. The distribution of $H'$ can be expressed in terms of a nonnegative, nondecreasing, differentiable function $W$, called the \emph{scale function} of $X$, such that $W(0)=1$ \begin{equation} \label{eqn : scale} \PP(H'> x)=\frac{1}{W(x)}\qquad x\ge 0. \end{equation} The scale function $W$ is characterised by its Laplace transform (see e.g. \cite{B}) \begin{equation} \label{eqn : LT scale} \intgen dx\, e^{-\lbd x} \, W(x) = \left(\lbd -\intgen \Lambda(dx) (1-e^{-\lbd x}) \right)^{-1}. \end{equation} From now on, with no need to refer to the framework of splitting trees, we will consider the genealogy of what we call a \emph{coalescent point process} (originating from \cite{P} where $\Lambda (dx)=b^2\exp(-bx) dx$) : \begin{enumerate} \item let $H_1, H_2,\ldots$ be a sequence of independent random variables called \emph{branch lengths} all distributed as some positive r.v. $H$, and set $H_0$ to equal $+\infty$. \item the genealogy of the population $\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ is given by \eqref{eqn : def coal}. \end{enumerate} We will stick to the notation $$ W(x):=\frac{1}{\PP(H> x)}\qquad x\ge 0. $$ It will always be implicit that a \emph{sample} of $n$ individuals refers to the \emph{first} $n$ individuals $\{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}$. \begin{rem} \label{rem : H' et H} In the case of splitting trees, conditional on $\{N_t\not=0\}$, $N_t$ is geometric with success probability $\PP(H'>t)$, and conditional on $\{N_t=n\}$, the branch lengths $(H_i;1\le i \le n-1)$ are i.i.d. with distribution $\PP(H'\in\cdot\mid H'<t)$. In what follows, we will repeatedly refer to the genealogy of a splitting tree with $n$ leaves by setting the r.v. $H$ to equal $H'$, without the conditioning (i.e. $t\to\infty$). In the subcritical case, this amounts to considering quasi-stationary populations, which are those populations conditioned to be still alive at time $t$, as $t\tendinfty$ (see e.g. \cite{L9}). Another possibility would be, as in \cite{AP}, to give a prior distribution to the time $t$ of origin, and condition the whole tree on $\{N_t=n\}$. Then as $n\to\infty$, the posterior distribution of $t$ goes to $\infty$, and we would be left with a (possibly different) distribution of $H$ charging the whole half-line. \end{rem} \begin{rem} No distribution of edge lengths can make the coalescent point process coincide with the Kingman coalescent \cite{Ki}. Indeed, here, the smallest branch length in a sample of $n$ individuals is the minimum of $n-1$ i.i.d. random variables, whereas in the Kingman coalescent, it is the minimum of $n(n-1)/2$ i.i.d. random variables (with exponential distribution). \end{rem} Our goal is to characterise the mutation pattern for samples of $n$ individuals, mainly as $n$ gets large. We specify the mutation scheme in the next subsection. Works studying mutation patterns arising from random genealogies are numerous. Mutation patterns related to populations with fixed size (Wright--Fisher model, Kingman coalescent) are well-known and culminate in \emph{Ewens' sampling formula} (see \cite{D1} for a comprehensive account on that subject). More recent works concern mutation patterns related to more general coalescents \cite{BG,M}, to branching populations \cite{AD, Bclusters}, or to both \cite{BBS}. \subsection{Mutation scheme} We adopt two classical assumptions on mutation schemes from population genetics (see e.g. \cite{Ew}) \begin{enumerate} \item mutations occur at \emph{constant rate} $\theta$ on germ lines, \item mutations are \emph{neutral}, that is, they have no effect on birth rates and lifetimes. \end{enumerate} As is usual, we assume that mutations are point substitutions occurring at a single site on the DNA sequence, and that each site can be hit at most once by a mutation. This last assumption is known as the \emph{infinitely-many sites model} (ISM). Instances of DNA sequence are called \emph{alleles} or \emph{haplotypes}, so that under the ISM, each mutation yields a new allele. Without reference to DNA sequences, this last assumption by itself is known as the \emph{infinitely-many alleles model} (IAM).\\ \\ Specifically, we let $({\cal P}_i;i=0,1,2\ldots)$ be independent Poisson measures on $(0,\infty)$ with intensity $\theta$ (cf. assumption 1). For each $i$ we denote the atoms of ${\cal P}_i$ by $\ell_{i1}<\ell_{i2}<\cdots$ and call them \emph{mutations}. Now let $H_1, H_2, \ldots$ be an independent coalescent point process (cf. assumption 2). In agreement with the genealogical structure of a coalescent point process explained in the beginning of this section, we will say that individual $i+k$ \emph{carries} (or \emph{bears}) mutation $\ell_{ij}$ if $k\ge 0$ and $$ \max\{H_{i+1},\ldots H_{i+k} \}< \ell_{ij} <H_i, $$ where we agree that $\max\emptyset=0$ and $H_0=+\infty$. The second inequality is trivially due to the fact that we throw away all atoms $\ell_{ij}$ such that $H_i\le\ell_{ij}$. The set of mutations that an individual bears is her \emph{allele} or her \emph{haplotype}, or merely her type.\\ \\ For a sample of $n$ individuals, we call $S_n$ the number of \emph{polymorphic sites}, that is, the number of mutations $(\ell_{ij}; 0\le i\le n-1, j\ge 1)$ that are carried by at least one individual and at most $n-1$. Formally, this yields $$ S_n=\mbox{Card}\{\ell_{ij}< H_i, 1\le i\le n-1, j\ge 1\}+\mbox{Card}\{\ell_{0j}<\max\{H_1,\ldots, H_{n-1}\}, j\ge 1\}. $$ Further, we define $S_n(k)$ as the number of mutations carried by $k$ individuals in the sample. In particular, $$ S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}S_n(k). $$ The sequence $(S_n(1),\ldots, S_n(n-1))$ is called the \emph{site frequency spectrum} of the sample. \begin{figure}[ht] \unitlength 3mm

In particular, we have $$ A_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n}A_n(k) \mbox{ and }\sum_{k=1}^n kA_n(k) = n. $$ The sequence $(A_n(1),\ldots, A_n(n))$ is called the \emph{allele frequency spectrum} of the sample. \begin{rem} One always has the inequality $S_n\ge A_n -1$. Indeed, apart from the ancestral haplotype, each new haplotype independent of at least one new mutation. \end{rem} \subsection{Examples of coalescent point processes} Before going into the main part of this work, we provide a few simple examples of coalescent point processes derived from splitting trees, in part for application purposes. \paragraph{Yule tree.} When $\Lambda$ is a point mass at $\infty$, the splitting tree is a Yule tree, and $(N_t;t\ge0)$ is a pure-birth binary process with birth rate, say $a$. Then $W(x)=e^{ax}$, and $H$ has an exponential distribution with parameter $a$ (see \cite{P}). \paragraph{Birth--death process.} When $\Lambda$ has an exponential density, $(N_t;t\ge 0)$ is a Markovian birth--death process with (birth rate $b$ and) death rate, say $d$. Then it is known (see \cite{L} for example) that if $b\not=d$, then $$ W(x) = \frac{d-be^{(b-d)x}}{d-b}\qquad x\ge 0, $$ whereas if $b=d=:a$, $$ W(x)=1+ax\qquad x\ge 0. $$ Notice that in the subcritical case ($b<d$), $H$ can take the value $\infty$ with probability $1-(b/d)$, which is due to the constrained size of quasi-stationary populations (see Remark \ref{rem : H' et H}). Elementary calculations show that $H$ conditioned to be finite has the same law as the branch length of a \emph{supercritical} birth--death process with birth rate $d$ and death rate $b$. \paragraph{Consistency and sampling.} The genealogy associated with a coalescent point process is \emph{consistent} in the sense that the genealogy of a sample of $n$ individuals has the same law as that of a sample of $n+1$ individuals from which the \emph{last} individual has been withdrawn (in the splitting tree framework, the last individual is the individual who has no descendants in the sample, and whose ancestors have no elder sibling with descendants in the sample). This property would not hold any longer if the withdrawn individual was chosen at random. On the other hand, if all individuals in the population are censused \emph{independently} with probability $c$, then the genealogy of the census is still that of a coalescent point process. Indeed, the typical branch length is $H''$, where $$ H''\stackrel{\cal L}{=}\max\{H_1,\ldots, H_K\}, $$ and $K$ is an independent (modified) geometric r.v., that is, $\PP(K=j)=c(1-c)^{j-1}$. As a consequence, $$ \frac{1}{W_c(x)}:=\PP(H''> x)=1-\sum_{j\ge 1}c(1-c)^{j-1}\PP(H\le x)^{j}\qquad x\ge 0. $$ This last equation also reads $$ W_c = 1-c +cW. $$ Applying this Bernoulli sampling procedure with intensity $c$ to the previous examples yields the following elementary results. \begin{description} \item[--] the census of a Yule population has the genealogy of a birth--death process population, with birth rate $ac$ and death rate $a(1-c)$ \item[--] the census of a birth--death process population has the genealogy of another birth--death process population with birth rate $bc$ and death rate $d-b(1-c)$. In particular, censusing a critical birth--death process population with rate $b=d=:a$ amounts to replacing $a$ with $ac$. \end{description} \paragraph{Infinite lifespan measure.} Actually, everything that was stated about splitting trees still holds if the lifespan measure is infinite, provided the lifespans of children remain summable, that is $\intgen(1\wedge r)\Lambda(dr)<\infty$. In particular, one still has $W(0)=1$, and the number of individuals alive at a fixed time remains a.s. finite. On the contrary, it is a completely different task to define the real tree whose jumping contour process is a Lévy process with no negative jumps but \emph{infinite variation} (see \cite{B}). However, in our setting, this only requires replacing the coalescent point process $H_1, H_2,\ldots$ with a true Poisson point process with intensity measure $ds\,\nu(dx)$, where $\nu$ is a $\sigma$-finite positive measure defined as the push forward of the excursion measure of $X$ away from $\{t\}$ by the function which maps an excursion $\eps$ into $t-\inf_s\eps_s$. Similarly as in the finite variation case, $$ W(x):=\frac{1}{\nu((x,\infty))}\qquad x\ge0. $$ In the Brownian case, for example $\nu(dx)= x^{-2}dx$ (again, see \cite{P}), that is, $W(x)=x$. Here, the analogue of Bernoulli sampling with intensity $c$ consists in taking the maximum $H''$ of the point process on an interval with exponential length of parameter $c$ (instead of a geometric length). Now $c$ can take any positive value. Standard calculations then yield $$ \frac{1}{W_c(x)}:=\PP(H''> x)=1-\frac{c}{c+\nu((x,\infty))}\qquad x\ge 0, $$ so that $$ W_c=1+cW. $$ As far as splitting trees with infinite variation are concerned, we will only focus on the stable case, where $W(x)=x^{\alpha-1}$ for some $\alpha\in(1,2]$, the Brownian case corresponding to $\alpha=2$. In particular, we see that the Brownian coalescent point process censused with intensity $c$ has the same law as the coalescent point process associated with a critical birth--death process with rate $c$. \subsection{Statements, outline, examples} Our results regarding polymorphic sites are stated in Section \ref{sec : S}. In the first two subsections of Section \ref{sec : S}, we assume that $\EE(H)$ is finite. Theorem \ref{thm : LLN+CLT} provides a law of large numbers and a central limit theorem (if $H$ has a second moment) on the number $S_n$ of polymorphic sites. In particular, \begin{equation} \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{S_n}{n}=\theta\,\EE(H)\qquad\mbox{ a.s. } \end{equation} We also give exact explicit formulae for the \emph{expectation} of the number $S_n(k)$ of mutations carried by $k$ individuals in a sample of $n$. In the third subsection, we make the less stringent assumption that $\EE(\min (H_1, H_2))$ is finite. Theorem \ref{thm : SFS large} then gives the asymptotic behaviour of the site frequency spectrum of large samples via the following a.s. convergence \begin{equation} \label{eqn : SFS large} \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{S_n(k)}{n} = \theta\,\intgen \frac{dx}{W(x)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W(x)}\right)^{k-1}. \end{equation} In the fourth subsection, we treat the case of stable laws with parameter $\alpha$, that is, $W$ is given by $W(x)=1+c x^{\alpha -1}$, where $\alpha\in(1,2]$ and $c$ is some positive parameter that can be interpreted as a sampling intensity. Since here $\EE(H)=\infty$, the only result holding in the stable case is \eqref{eqn : SFS large}, and only for $\alpha>3/2$. Theorems \ref{thm : brown} and \ref{thm : stable} give the asymptotic behaviour of $S_n$. When $\alpha=2$, $S_n/n\ln (n)$ converges in probability (to $\theta/c$), and when $\alpha\not=2$, $S_n/n^{\beta}$ converges in distribution, with $\beta=1/(\alpha-1)$.\\ \\ Section \ref{sec : A} displays our results regarding distinct haplotypes. The trick is to characterise the law of the branch length $H^\theta$ of the next individual bearing no mutation other than those carried by, say, individual 0. Proposition \ref{prop : next branch with no} does this as follows $$ \frac{1}{\PP(H_\theta>x)}=:W_\theta(x)=1+\int_0^x W'(u)e^{-\theta u}\, du\qquad x\ge 0. $$ Theorem \ref{thm : AFS large} states a.s. convergences without moment existence assumptions. Specifically, \begin{equation} \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{A_n}{n}=\EE\left(1-e^{-\theta H^\theta}\right)\qquad\mbox{ a.s., } \end{equation} and the allele frequency spectrum for large samples is given by the following a.s. convergence \begin{equation} \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{A_n(k)}{n} = \intgen dx \,\theta\,e^{-\theta x} \frac{1}{W_\theta(x)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(x)}\right)^{k-1}. \end{equation} Before ending this last subsection, we want to point out that in some cases, more explicit formulae can be computed. First, for the \emph{Yule process} with birth rate 1, (or with parameter $a$, but after replacing $\theta$ with $a\theta$), that is, when $W(x) = e^x$, one gets easily $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{S_n}{n}=\theta\quad\mbox{ and }\quad \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{S_n(k)}{n}=\frac{\theta}{k(k+1)}\ . $$ Computations are not as straightforward for the number of haplotypes. Second, for the \emph{critical birth--death process} with birth rate 1 (or with parameter $a$, but after replacing $\theta$ with $a\theta$), that is, when $W(x) = 1+x$, one gets $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{S_n}{n \ln(n)}=\theta\quad\mbox{ and }\quad \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{S_n(k)}{n}=\frac{\theta}{k}\ . $$ In addition, $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{A_n}{n}=\theta \ln\left(1+\theta^{-1}\right)\quad\mbox{ and }\quad \lim_{n\tendinfty}\frac{A_n(k)}{n}=\frac{\theta}{k} \left(1+\theta\right)^{-k}\ . $$ \begin{rem} It is amusing to notice that the rescaled number $A_n(k)$ of haplotypes with $k$ representatives is also the probability that a species has $k$ representatives in Fisher's \emph{log-series of species abundance} \cite{FCW}. In Fisher's model, a given species has an unknown density which is assumed to be drawn from a Gamma distribution with parameter $a$. As a result of Bernoulli sampling in a large population, it is then assumed that given the value $d$ of this density, the number $X$ of individuals spotted from this species is Poisson with parameter $\rho d$, where $\rho$ is the sampling intensity. It can then be shown that as $a\downarrow 0$, conditional on $\{X\ge 1\}$ (since at least one individual must be spotted for the species to be recorded), $\PP(X=k)$ goes to $C(1+1/\rho)^{-k}/k$, for some normalising constant $C$. \end{rem} \begin{rem} In a coalescent point process, divergence times are on average deeper than in the Kingman coalescent (our trees are more `star-like'). This forbids convergence of our statistics without rescaling (by the sample size $n$ or by $n\ln(n)$). In particular, notice that the asymptotic proportion of individuals in a cluster of size greater than $K$, i.e. $\lim_n n^{-1}\sum_{k\ge K}A_n(k)$, vanishes as $K$ grows to $\infty$. This shows that the largest cluster in a sample of $n$ has neglectable size w.r.t. $n$, which contrasts with the Kingman coalescent, where the allele frequency spectrum is given by Ewens' sampling formula (see \cite{D1, Ew}). As $n\to\infty$, the numbers of haplotypes $A_n(k)$ carried by $k$ individuals \cite{ABT} converge to independent Poisson r.v. with parameter $\theta/k$, and the $i$-th eldest haplotype \cite{DT} is carried by approximately $P_in$ individuals, where $(P_i;i\ge 1)$ is a Poisson--Dirichlet r.v. \end{rem} \section{Number of polymorphic sites} \label{sec : S} Results for polymorphic sites depend on integrability assumptions on $H$. Of course these are always fulfilled if the time $t$ when the population was founded is known, since then $H\le t$ a.s. We will see that the critical assumptions are either $\EE(\min(H_1,H_2))<\infty$, or the more stringent $\EE (H)<\infty$. Notice that the first assumption is equivalent to the integrability of $1/W^2$, and the second one to the integrability of $1/W$. \subsection{Law of large numbers and central limit theorem} Recall that $S_n$ is the number of polymorphic sites in the sample of $n$ individuals. \begin{thm} \label{thm : LLN+CLT} If $\EE(H)<\infty$, then $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}S_n = \theta\, \EE(H)\qquad\mbox{a.s. and in }L^1. $$ If in addition $\EE(H^{2})<\infty$, then $$ \sqrt{n}\left(n^{-1}S_n-\theta\,\EE(H)\right) $$ converges in distribution to a centered normal variable with variance $\theta\,\EE(H)+\theta^2\mbox{Var}(H)$. \end{thm} \paragraph{Proof.} Set $Y_n:=\max\{H_1, \ldots, H_{n-1}\}$. Recall from the Introduction that $$ S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} Q_i +R_n, $$ where $Q_i$ is the number of points of the Poisson point process ${\cal P}_i$ in $(0,H_i)$, and $R_n$ is the number of points of the Poisson point process ${\cal P}_0$ in $(0,Y_n)$. By the strong law of large numbers, we know that $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} Q_i = \theta\, \EE(H)\qquad\mbox{a.s. and in }L^1, $$ so we need to prove that $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1} R_n = 0\qquad\mbox{a.s. and in }L^1. $$ Now because $R_n/Y_n$ converges to $\theta$ a.s. and in $L^1$, it is sufficient to prove that $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1} Y_n = 0\qquad\mbox{a.s. and in }L^1. $$ Because $Y_n<\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}H_i$, $$ \limsup_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1} Y_n =:Y<\infty\mbox{ a.s.} $$ By the 0-1 law, $Y$ is not random. To prove that $Y=0$, we let $Y_n^{(1)}$ (resp. $Y_n^{(2)}$) be the maximum of the $H_i$'s indexed by odd (resp. even) numbers. Then it is clear that $Y_n=\max(Y_n^{(1)}, Y_n^{(2)})$, and that $n^{-1}Y_n^{(1)}$ as well as $n^{-1}Y_n^{(2)}$ both converge to $Y/2$. This shows that $Y=Y/2$, so that $Y=0$. For convergence in $L^1$, pick any $x>0$, and notice that \debeq n^{-1}\EE(Y_n) &=& n^{-1}\EE(Y_n,Y_n\le x)+n^{-1}\EE(Y_n, Y_n>x)\\ &\le& n^{-1}x+n^{-1}\EE\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}H_i\indic{H_i>x}\right)\\ &\le& n^{-1}x+\EE(H,H>x). \fineq Since $\EE(H)<\infty$, this last inequality shows that $n^{-1}\EE(Y_n)$ vanishes as $n\tendinfty$. Now we prove the central limit theorem for $S_n$. It is elementary to compute $\mbox{Var}(Q_1)$ as $\theta\,\EE(H)+\theta^2\mbox{Var}(H)$, so by the classical central limit theorem applied to the sum of $Q_i$'s, we only have to prove that $R_n/\sqrt{n}$ converges to 0 in probability. For any $\lbd>0$, $$ \EE\left(\exp\left(-\lbd R_n/\sqrt{n}\right)\right)=\EE\left(\exp\left(-\theta Y_n\left(1-e^{-\lbd/\sqrt{n}}\right)\right)\right), $$ which shows it is sufficient to prove that $Y_n/\sqrt{n}$ converges to 0 in probability. As previously, we write \debeq n^{-1}\EE\left(Y_n^2\right) &=& n^{-1}\EE\left(Y_n^2,Y_n\le x\right)+n^{-1}\EE\left(Y_n^2, Y_n>x\right)\\ &\le& n^{-1}x^2+n^{-1}\EE\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}H_i^2\indic{H_i>x}\right)\\ &\le& n^{-1}x^2+\EE\left(H^2,H>x\right). \fineq Thus, convergence of $Y_n/\sqrt{n}$ to 0 holds in $L^2$, and subsequently, it holds in probability. \hfill$\Box$ \subsection{Explicit formulae for the expected frequency spectrum} Recall that $S_n(k)$ denotes the number of mutant sites that are carried by exactly $k$ individuals in the sample of $n$ individuals (and since we only count polymorphic sites, $S_n(n)=0$). \begin{thm} \label{thm : exact exp} For all $1\le k\le n-1$, \begin{equation*} \EE(S_n(k)) = \theta\,\intgen dx \left(1-\frac{1}{W(x)}\right)^{k-1} \left( \frac{n-k-1}{W(x)^2}+\frac{2}{W(x)} \right), \end{equation*} which is finite if and only if $\EE(H)<\infty$. Then in particular, $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty}n^{-1}\EE(S_n(k)) = \theta\,\intgen \frac{dx}{W(x)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W(x)}\right)^{k-1}. $$ \end{thm} \begin{rem} Taking the sum over $k$ in the r.h.s. of the last equality of the theorem, one gets $\theta\,\EE(H)$, so that, thanks to the $L^1$ convergence in Theorem \ref{thm : LLN+CLT}, $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty}n^{-1}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}\EE(S_n(k))=\theta\,\EE(H)=\sum_{k\ge 1}\lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}\EE (S_n(k)). $$ \end{rem} Before giving a proof of the previous theorem, we want to make a point that will also be useful in the next subsection. For any tree with point mutations, a mutation is carried by $k$ individuals if and only of it is in the part of the tree subtending $k$ leaves. Then in any given tree with edge lengths and Poisson point process of mutations (with rate $\theta$) independent of the genealogy (as in our situation), the expectation of the number of mutations carried by $k$ individuals is $\theta L_k$, where $L_k$ is the Lebesgue measure of the part of the tree subtending $k$ leaves (i.e., tips). In our setting, we will call $L_k(n)$, for $k\le n-1$, the Lebesgue measure of the part of the tree subtending $k$ tips among individuals $\{0,1,\ldots, n-1\}$, so that $$ \EE(S_n(k)) = \theta\, \EE(L_k(n))\qquad 1\le k\le n-1. $$ \begin{rem} The last equality along with more specific considerations given in the next subsection provide a less analytic and more transparent proof than the proof we give hereafter. However, we stick to it for the interest of the method itself. \end{rem} \paragraph{Proof of Theorem \ref{thm : exact exp}} We set $N(x)$ to be the smallest $i\ge 1$ such that $H_i> x$. The proof relies on the fact that $$ \EE(S_n(k)) = \lim_{x\tendinfty}\theta\,\EE(L_k(N(x)) \mid N(x)=n)\qquad 1\le k\le n-1. $$ On the event $\{N(x)=n\}$, we will need to extend the definition of $L_k(N(x))$ to $k=n$, as being the Lebesgue measure of the part of the tree \emph{up to time $-x$} subtending all tips $\{0,1,\ldots, n-1\}$, that is, $L_n(N(x))= x-\max_{i=1,\ldots, n-1}H_i$. For editing reasons, we will prefer to write $F(x)=\PP(H>x)$, instead of $1/W(x)$. Since $F$ is a.e. differentiable and our goal is to let $x\tendinfty$, we can set $f(x) := -F'(x)$ without loss of generality. We let $\tilde{H}$ denote the branch length $H_{N(x)}$, and we set $$ \tilde{N}:=\min\{k\ge 1:H_{N(x)+k}>x+dx\}, $$ as well as $\tilde{L}_k$ the Lebesgue measure of the part of the tree subtending $k$ leaves among individuals $\{N(x),N(x)+1,\ldots, N(x+dx)-1\}$. Note that $(\tilde{N}, \tilde{L}_k, \tilde{H})$ are independent of $(N(x), L_k(N(x)))$; that $\tilde{H}$ is distributed as $H$ conditional on $\{H>x\}$; and that ($\tilde{N},\tilde{L}_k)$ is independent of $\tilde{H}$ and distributed as $(N(x+dx), L_k(N(x+dx))$. Next observe that if $\tilde{H}>x+dx$, then $N(x+dx)=N(x)$ and $L_k(N(x+dx))=L_k(N(x))$, except if $k=n$, where by definition $L_n(N(x+dx))=L_n(N(x))+dx$. On the other hand, if $\tilde{H}\in dx$, $L_k(N(x+dx))$ is the sum of measures of edges subtending $k$ tips in $\{0,1,\ldots,N(x)-1\}$ with measures of edges subtending $k$ tips in $\{N(x),\ldots,N(x)+\tilde{N}-1\}$. This reads \begin{multline*} L_k(N(x+dx))\indic{N(x+dx)=n} = \indic{\tilde{H}>x+dx}\indic{N(x)=n}\left(L_k(N(x))+dx\indicbis{k=n}\right)\\ +\indic{\tilde{H}\le x+dx}\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}\indic{N(x)=j}\indic{\tilde{N}=n-j}\left(L_k(N(x))+\tilde{L}_k(\tilde{N})\right), \end{multline*} where we have used the extension of the definition of $L_k$ specified earlier (cases when $k=j$ or $k=n-j$ in the sum). Now set $$ U_{k,n}(x):= \EE(L_k(N(x)), N(x)=n). $$ By the independences stated previously, taking expectations, we get $$ U_{k,n}'(x+)= -U_{k,n}(x)\frac{f}{F}(x)+\indicbis{k=n}\PP(N(x)=k) +2\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}U_{k,j}(x)\PP(N(x)=n-j)\frac{f}{F}(x). $$ Setting $$ V_k(x;s):=\sum_{n\ge k}U_{k,n}(x)s^n\qquad s\in[0,1), $$ and observing that $\vert U_{k,n}(x)\vert\le nx$, and (so) that $\vert U_{k,n}'(x)\vert \le c(x)n^2$ for some positive $c(x)$ independent of $k$ and $n$, we get $$ \frac{\partial V_k}{\partial x}(x;s)= -\frac{f}{F}(x)V_k(x;s)+\PP(N(x)=k) s^k + 2 \frac{f}{F}(x)\sum_{n\ge k}s^n\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}U_{k,j}(x)\PP(N(x)=n-j). $$ Since $U_{k,j}(x)=0$ when $j\le k-1$, the last term equals \debeq 2 \frac{f}{F}(x)\sum_{n\ge k+1}s^n\sum_{j=k}^{n-1}U_{k,j}(x)\PP(N(x)=n-j)&=& 2 \frac{f}{F}(x)\sum_{j\ge k}U_{k,j}(x)s^j\sum_{n\ge j+1}s^{n-j}\PP(N(x)=n-j)\\ &=& 2 \frac{f}{F}(x)V_k(x;s)\sum_{n\ge 1}s^{n}\PP(N(x)=n). \fineq As a consequence, we get the following differential equation $$ \frac{\partial V_k}{\partial x}(x;s)= G_k(x;s)V_k(x;s)+\PP(N(x)=k)s^k, $$ where we have put $$ G_k(x;s):=\left(2\EE\left(s^{N(x)}\right)-1\right)\frac{f}{F}(x). $$ Now since $\PP(N(x)=k)=F(x)(1-F(x))^{k-1}$, we easily get $$ \int_0^x G_k(y;s) \, dy = \ln\left[\frac{F(x)}{\left( 1-s+sF(x)\right)^2}\right]. $$ This allows us to integrate the differential equation in $V_k(.;s)$ to finally arrive at $$ V_k(x;s)=\frac{s^k F(x)}{(1-s+sF(x))^2} \int_0^x(1-F(y))^{k-1}(1-s+sF(y))^2\, dy. $$ With the shortcuts $u:=1-F(x)$ and $v:=1-F(y)$, and using the series expansion of $(1-us)^{-2}$, we get $$ V_k(x;s)=s^k (1-u)\int_0^x v^{k-1} (1-vs)^2 \sum_{j\ge 1} ju^{j-1}s^{j-1}\, dy. $$ It is elementary algebra to compute the following equality $$ (1-vs)^2 \sum_{j\ge 1} ju^{j-1}s^{j-1} = 1+\sum_{j\ge 1}s^j u^{j-2}\left(j(u-v)^2+u^2-v^2\right), $$ which yields $$ V_k(x;s)= s^k(1-u)\int_0^x v^{k-1}\, dy+(1-u)\sum_{j\ge 1}\int_0^x v^{k-1}s^{k+j} u^{j-2}\left(j(u-v)^2+u^2-v^2\right)\, dy. $$ Identifying this entire series with the definition of $V_k$, we get for all $1\le k\le n-1$, \begin{multline*} U_{k,n}(x)= F(x)(1-F(x))^{n-k-2}\int_0^x (1-F(y))^{k-1}\times\\ \times\left((n-k)(F(y)-F(x))^2+(1-F(x))^2- (1-F(y))^2 \right)\, dy. \end{multline*} As a consequence, \begin{multline*} \EE(L_k(N(x)) \mid N(x)=n)=(1-F(x))^{-k-1}\int_0^x (1-F(y))^{k-1}\times\\ \times\left((n-k)(F(y)-F(x))^2+(1-F(x))^2- (1-F(y))^2 \right)\, dy. \end{multline*} which, by Beppo Levi's theorem, converges, as $x\tendinfty$, to $$ \theta^{-1} \EE(S_n(k))=\intgen (1-F(y))^{k-1} \left((n-k)F(y)^2+1- (1-F(y))^2 \right)\, dy, $$ and this finishes the proof.\hfill$\Box$ \subsection{Site frequency spectrum of large samples} Here, we assume that $\EE(\min(H_1,H_2))<\infty$, that is, $1/W^2$ is integrable. \begin{thm} \label{thm : SFS large} For all $1\le k\le n-1$, the following convergence holds a.s. (and in $L^1$ as well if $\EE(H)<\infty$) \begin{eqnarray*} \lim_{n\tendinfty}n^{-1}S_n(k) &=& \theta\, \EE\left(\left( \min\{H_1,H_{k+1}\}-\max\{H_2,\ldots,H_k\}\right)^+\right)\\ &=& \theta\,\intgen \frac{dx}{W(x)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W(x)}\right)^{k-1}. \end{eqnarray*} \end{thm} \paragraph{Proof.} Reasoning similarly as in the previous subsection, we see that a point mutation occurring on branch $i$ is carried by $k$ individuals if and only if it is carried by individuals $i,i+1,\ldots, i+k-1$, and by no one else. This happens if and only if this mutation, corresponding to the atom $\ell_{ij}$, say, of ${\cal P}_i$, has $$ \max\{H_{i+1},\ldots, H_{i+k-1}\}<\ell_{ij}<H_i, $$ for the mutation to be carried by individuals $i,i+1,\ldots, i+k-1$, along with $$ \ell_{ij}<H_{i+k}, $$ for the mutation not to be carried by others. More formally, we set ${\cal F}$ the space of point processes on $(0,\infty)$, and ${F}_k$ the set of $(k+1)$-dimensional arrays with values in ${\cal F}\times (0,\infty)$. Next, for any $\Xi\in F_k$, written as $\Xi = ((p_0,x_0),\ldots, (p_k, x_k))$ we define $$ G(\Xi):= \mbox{Card}\left(p_0\cap \left(\max\{x_{1},\ldots, x_{k-1}\}, \min\{x_0, x_{k}\}\right)\right), $$ where it is understood that the interval $(a,b)$ is empty if $a\ge b$. Then the number of mutations carried by $k$ individuals among the first $n$ can be written as $$ S_n(k)=\sum_{i=0}^{n-k}G(\Xi_i), $$ where $$ \Xi_i:=(({\cal P}_i, H_i),\ldots,({\cal P}_{i+k}, H_{i+k})) $$ and, for the last term of the sum to be correctly written, $H_{n}$ is set to $+\infty$ (as $H_0$). Next, observe that $$ \EE(G(\Xi_1)) =\theta\, \EE\left(\left( \min\{H_1,H_{k+1}\}-\max\{H_2,\ldots,H_k\}\right)^+\right), $$ so that $G(\Xi_1)$ is integrable (assumption stated before the theorem). Now for any $0\le r\le k$, the random values $G(\Xi_i)$, for $i$ such that $i=r\; [k+1]$ (standing for mod $(k+1)$), are i.i.d. and integrable, so by the strong law of large numbers, we have the following a.s. convergence $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}\sum_{0\le i= r [k+1]\le n-k}G(\Xi_i)=\frac{1}{k+1}\;\EE(G(\Xi_1)). $$ Actually, the convergence would also hold in $L^1$ if we had discarded mutations carried by individual $0$ and individual $n-k$, which involve terms that are not integrable if $\EE(H)=\infty$. If $\EE(H)<\infty$, then convergence holds in $L^1$. Summing over $r$ these $k+1$ equalities, we get the convergence of $n^{-1}S_n(k)$ to $\EE(G(\Xi_1))$, and \debeq \EE(G(\Xi_1)) &=&\theta\, \EE\left(\left( \min\{H_1,H_{k+1}\}-\max\{H_2,\ldots,H_k\}\right)^+\right)\\ &=&\theta\,\EE\intgen dx\,\indicbis{x<\min\{H_1,H_{k+1}\}}\,\indicbis{x>\max\{H_2,\ldots,H_k\}}\\ &=&\theta\,\intgen dx\,\PP(H>x)^2\,\PP(H<x)^{k-1}, \fineq which ends the proof.\hfill$\Box$ \subsection{Stable laws} Here, we tackle the case when $H$ is in the domain of attraction of a stable law, which happens in particular for a splitting tree whose contour process is a stable Lévy process with no negative jumps with index $\alpha\in(1,2]$. If such a population is censused with intensity $c>0$ then the corresponding function $W$ (see Introduction) is $$ W(x)=1+cx^{\alpha-1}\qquad x\ge 0. $$ From now on, we will assume that $W$ has the form given in the foregoing display. Recall that $1/W(x)$ is the probability that a branch has length greater than $x$. Observe that here $H$ is not integrable, so that Theorems \ref{thm : LLN+CLT} and \ref{thm : exact exp} do not apply. However, asymptotic results for the site frequency spectrum of large samples given in Theorem \ref{thm : SFS large} apply for $\alpha>3/2$. \subsubsection{Brownian case} Here, we assume that $\alpha=2$, which corresponds both to a (censused) Brownian population and to the (censused or not) population of a critical birth--death process. \begin{thm} \label{thm : brown} When $W(x)=1+cx$, we have the following convergence in probability $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} \frac{S_n}{n\ln (n)} = \theta/c. $$ \end{thm} \paragraph{Proof.} Recall that $S_n$ is to be written as $$ S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} Q_i +R_n, $$ where $Q_i$ is the number of points of the Poisson point process ${\cal P}_i$ in $(0,H_i)$, and $R_n$ is the number of points of the Poisson point process ${\cal P}_0$ in $(0,Y_n)$, where $Y_n=\max\{H_1, \ldots, H_{n-1}\}$. Now observe that $$ \PP(Y_n>\vareps n\ln (n)) = 1-\left(1-\frac{1}{1+c\vareps n\ln (n)} \right)^{n-1}, $$ which vanishes as $n\tendinfty$, so that $Y_n/n\ln (n)$ converges to 0 in probability. This implies in turn that $R_n/n\ln (n)$ also converges to 0 in probability. As a consequence, we can focus on the sum of $Q_i$'s. Pick any $\lbd>0$ and check that $$ \EE\left(\exp-\frac{\lbd}{n\ln(n)} \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} Q_i\right)=\left(\EE\left(\exp-\theta H\left(1-e^{-\lbd/n\ln(n)}\right)\right)\right)^{n-1}, $$ We are bound to study the behaviour of $\EE(\exp-yH)$ as $y\to 0$. \debeq \EE(\exp-yH) &=& 1-y\int_0^\infty\frac{e^{-yx}}{W(x)}\, dx\\ &=& 1-y\int_0^\infty\frac{e^{-u}}{y+cu}\, du\\ &=& 1-y\int_1^\infty\frac{e^{-u}}{y+cu}\,du +y \int_0^1\frac{1-e^{-u}}{y+cu}\,du- yc^{-1}\ln((y+c)/y)\\ &=& 1+c^{-1}y\ln(y) + O(y), \fineq where $O(y)/y$ is bounded near 0. Setting $u_n:=\theta\left(1-e^{-\lbd/n\ln(n)}\right)$, there is a vanishing sequence $v_n$ such that \debeq \EE\left(\exp-\lbd\frac{S_n}{n\ln(n)} \right) &=&\left(1+c^{-1}u_n\ln(u_n)+O(u_n)\right)^n(1+v_n)\\ &=&\exp\left(c^{-1}nu_n\ln(u_n)+O(nu_n)\right)(1+v_n), \fineq which converges to $\exp(-\lbd\theta/c)$.\hfill$\Box$ \subsubsection{Stable case $\alpha\not= 2$} Here, we assume that $W(x)=1+cx^{\alpha-1}$, for some $\alpha\in(1,2)$. \begin{thm} \label{thm : stable} When $W(x)=1+cx^{\alpha-1}$, we have the following convergence in distribution $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} \frac{S_n}{n^{1/(\alpha-1)}} = Z_{\varphi(\mathbf{e})}, $$ where $(Z_t;t\ge 0)$ is the stable subordinator with Laplace exponent $\lbd\mapsto c^{-1}\theta^{\alpha-1}\lbd^{\alpha - 1}$, $\mathbf{e}$ is an independent exponential r.v. with parameter 1, and $\varphi$ is defined by $$ \varphi(x)=x^{1-\alpha}\,e^{-x}+\int_0^x ds\, s^{1-\alpha}\,e^{-s}\qquad x>0. $$ \end{thm} \begin{rem} Observe that $\varphi$ decreases on $(0,\infty)$ from $+\infty$ to a positive limit, equal to $\Gamma(2-\alpha)$. Also, recall that $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} Q_i +R_n$, where $R_n$ is the extra contribution from the maximum branch length. Then it is possible to see by the same kind of proof as that of the theorem, that $\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} Q_i$ converges in distribution to $Z_{\Gamma(2-\alpha)}$. This indicates that, opposite to the Brownian case, the (double) contribution of the maximum branch length is not negligible here. \end{rem} \paragraph{Proof.} Let us compute the limiting distribution of $n^{-1/(\alpha -1)}(Y_n+\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}H_i)$, where $Y_n=\max\{H_1, \ldots, H_{n-1}\}$. Set $\beta:=1/(\alpha-1)$, as well as $$ I_n(\lbd):=\EE\left(\exp-\lbd\, n^{-\beta}\left(Y_n+\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}H_i\right)\right). $$ Then $$ I_n(\lbd)=\intgen\PP(Y_n \in dz) e^{-2\lbd n^{-\beta} z} \left( \EE\left(e^{-\lbd n^{-\beta}H_z'}\right)\right)^{n-2}, $$ where $H_z'$ has the law of $H$ conditioned on being smaller than $z$. Next, we have $$ \PP(Y_n\in dz) = \left(\frac{cz^{\alpha-1}}{1+cz^{\alpha-1}}\right)^{n-2}\frac{c(n-1)(\alpha-1)z^{\alpha-2}}{(1+cz^{\alpha-1})^2}\,dz\qquad z>0 $$ and $$ \PP(H_z'\in dx) = \frac{c(\alpha-1)x^{\alpha-2}}{(1+cx^{\alpha-1})^2}\,\frac{1+cz^{\alpha-1}}{cz^{\alpha-1}}\,dx\qquad 0< x < z, $$ so we get $$ I_n(\lbd)=\intgen dz \,\frac{c(n-1)(\alpha-1)z^{\alpha-2}}{(1+cz^{\alpha-1})^2}e^{-2\lbd n^{-\beta} z} \left( \int_0^z dx\, \frac{c(\alpha-1)x^{\alpha-2}}{(1+cx^{\alpha-1})^2}\,e^{-\lbd n^{-\beta}x}\right)^{n-2} $$ Changing variables, this also reads $$ I_n(\lbd)=c^{-1} (1-n^{-1})(\alpha-1)\lbd^{\alpha-1}\intgen dv \,\frac{v^{-\alpha} \,e^{-2v}}{\left(1+n^{-1}c^{-1}\lbd^{\alpha-1}v^{1-\alpha}\right)^2} J_n(v;\lbd)^{n-2} $$ where \debeq J_n(v;\lbd) &=& (\alpha-1)cn\lbd^{1-\alpha}\int_0^v du\, \frac{u^{\alpha-2}\, e^{-u}}{(1+cn\lbd^{1-\alpha}u^{\alpha-1})^2}\\ &=& \left[\frac{- e^{-u}}{1+cn\lbd^{1-\alpha}u^{\alpha-1}}\right]_0^v- \int_0^v du\,\frac{ e^{-u}}{1+cn\lbd^{1-\alpha}u^{\alpha-1}}\\ &=&1-\frac{ e^{-v}}{1+cn\lbd^{1-\alpha}v^{\alpha-1}}- \int_0^v du\,\frac{ e^{-u}}{1+cn\lbd^{1-\alpha}u^{\alpha-1}}\\ &=& 1-n^{-1}K_n(v;\lbd), \fineq where $K_n(v;\lbd)$ is positive and converges to $c^{-1}\lbd^{\alpha-1}\varphi(v)$ as $n\tendinfty$. By the Lebesgue convergence theorem, we get the convergence of $I_n(\lbd)$ to $$ c^{-1}(\alpha-1)\lbd^{\alpha-1}\intgen dv \,v^{-\alpha} \,e^{-2v} \exp (-c^{-1}\lbd^{\alpha-1}\varphi(v)). $$ Integrating by parts with $\varphi'(v)=(1-\alpha)v^{-\alpha}e^{-v}$, we finally get $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} I_n(\lbd) = \intgen dv \,e^{-v} \exp (-c^{-1}\lbd^{\alpha-1}\varphi(v)). $$ The last step is the same as in the foregoing proof, that is \debeq \lim_{n\tendinfty} \EE\left(\exp-\lbd\, n^{-1/(\alpha-1)}S_n\right) &=&\lim_{n\tendinfty} \EE\left(\exp-\theta\,\left(1-e^{-\lbd n^{-1/(\alpha-1)}}\right)\left(Y_n+\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}H_i\right)\right)\\ &=&\lim_{n\tendinfty} I_n(\theta\lbd )\\ &=&\intgen dv \,e^{-v} \exp (-c^{-1}\theta^{\alpha-1}\lbd^{\alpha-1}\varphi(v)), \fineq which is the desired result. \hfill $\Box$ \section{Number of distinct haplotypes} \label{sec : A} \subsection{The next branch with no extra mutation} We let ${\cal E}^\theta$ denote the set of individuals who \emph{carry no more mutations than} individual $0$ (some of and at most exactly the mutations carried by $0$, but no other mutation). Set $K^\theta_0:=0$ and for $i\ge 1$, define $K^\theta_i$ as the $i$-th individual in ${\cal E}^\theta$, and $H^\theta_i:=H_{K^\theta_i}$ the associated branch length. We write $H^\theta$ in lieu of $H^\theta_1$ and we define the function $W_\theta$ by $$ \PP(H^\theta>x)=\frac{1}{W_\theta(x)}\qquad x\ge 0. $$ \begin{prop} \label{prop : next branch with no} The bivariate sequence $((K^\theta_i-K^\theta_{i-1},H^\theta_i);i\ge 1)$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random pairs. The function $W_\theta$ is given by $$ W_\theta(x)=1+\int_0^x W'(u)e^{-\theta u}\, du\qquad x\ge 0. $$ \end{prop} \begin{rem} In the case when the coalescent process is derived from a splitting tree with lifespan measure $\Lambda$, the calculation of $W_\theta$ is straightforward. Indeed, it can be seen in that case that the point process $(H^\theta_i;i\ge 1)$ is the coalescent point process of the splitting tree obtained from the initial splitting tree with mutations after throwing away all points above a mutation. But this new tree is again a splitting tree, since lifespans are i.i.d. and terminate either at death time or at the first point mutation, so the lifespan measure is now $\Lambda_\theta (dx)=e^{-\theta x}\,\Lambda (dx)+ \theta e^{-\theta x} \Lambda((x,\infty))\, dx$. As a consequence, $W_\theta$ is here the scale function characterised as in \eqref{eqn : LT scale} by its Laplace transform \debeq \intgen dx\, e^{-\lbd x} \, W_\theta(x) &=& \left(\lbd -\intgen \Lambda_\theta(dx) (1-e^{-\lbd x}) \right)^{-1}\\ &=&\frac{\lbd+\theta}{\lbd}\left(\lbd+\theta -\intgen \Lambda(dx) (1-e^{-(\lbd +\theta) x}) \right)^{-1}\\ &=&\frac{\lbd+\theta}{\lbd} \intgen dx\, e^{-(\lbd+\theta) x} \, W(x), \fineq which yields the equality given in the statement. \end{rem} \paragraph{Proof.} First observe that the pair $(K^\theta_1, H^\theta_1)$ does not depend on the haplotype of individual $0$, and that the $i$-th individual with no mutation other than those carried by individual $0$ is also the next individual after $K^\theta_{i-1}$ with no mutation other than those carried by individual $K^\theta_{i-1}$. This ensures that $(K^\theta_i-K^\theta_{i-1},H^\theta_i)$ has the same law as $(K^\theta_1,H^\theta_1)$, and the independence between $(K^\theta_i-K^\theta_{i-1},H^\theta_i)$ and previous pairs is due to the independence of branch lengths and the fact that new mutations can only occur on branches with labels strictly greater than $K^\theta_{i-1}$. Now the event $\{H^\theta\in dx\}$ can be decomposed according to: the value of $H_1$; conditional on $H_1=z$, the value of the age $V_z$ of the oldest mutation on $H_1$; conditional on $V_z=y$, the value $H_y'$ of the branch length associated with the first individual in ${\cal E}^\theta_1$ with branch length greater than $y$. Indeed, $H^\theta\in dx$ if: $H_1\in dx$ and there is no mutation in $H_1$ (then $K^\theta_0=1$); or $H_1\in dx$, the age of the oldest mutation on $H_1=x$ is $V_x=y<x$ and the next individual with no mutation other than those carried by individual $1$ and branch length $H_y'>y$ has $H_y'<x$; or $H_1=z<x$, the age of the oldest mutation on $H_1=z$ is $V_z=y<z$ and the next individual with no mutation other than those carried by individual $1$ and branch length $H_y'>y$ has $H_y'\in dx$. \begin{multline*} \PP(H^\theta\in dx)= \PP(H_1\in dx)e^{-\theta x}+\PP(H_1\in dx)\int_0^x\PP(V_x\in dy)\PP(H_y'<x)\\ +\int_0^x\PP(H_1\in dz)\int_0^z\PP(V_z\in dy)\PP(H_y'\in dx). \end{multline*} Thanks to the first statement of the proposition, $H_y'$ has the same law as $H^\theta$ conditioned on being greater than $y$. Then since $\PP(V_z\in dy)=\theta \,e^{-\theta(z-y)}\,dy$, we get $$ \PP(H^\theta\in dx) =\PP(H_1\in dx)(1-\PP(H^\theta>x) f(x))+\PP(H^\theta \in dx)\int_0^x \PP(H_1\in dz) f(z), $$ where we have set $$ f(x):=\int_0^x\, dy\, \theta \,e^{-\theta (x-y)}\,W_\theta (y)\qquad x\ge 0. $$ We can drop the index 1 of $H_1$, since only its law now matters. We can rewrite the last result as $$ \PP(H\in dx)=\PP(H^\theta\in dx)(1-\int_0^x \PP(H\in dz) f(z))+\PP(H\in dx)\PP(H^\theta>x) f(x), $$ which can be integrated as $$ \PP(H > x)=\PP(H^\theta >x)(1-\int_0^x \PP(H\in dz) f(z)). $$ Defining now the function $G$ as $$ G(x):=\PP(H>x)(W_\theta(x)-f(x)), $$ we get, thanks to the last integration, $$ G(x)=1-\int_0^x \PP(H\in dz) f(z)-\PP(H>x)f(x). $$ Integrating by parts yields $$ G(x)=1-\int_0^x dz\,\PP(H>z) f'(z)= 1-\int_0^x dz\,\PP(H>z)(-\theta f(z) +\theta W_\theta (z))=1-\theta \int_0^x dz\, G(z), $$ which shows that $G(x)=e^{-\theta x}$. This reads $$ W(x)=e^{\theta x} W_\theta(x)-\theta \int_0^x\, dy \,e^{\theta y}\,W_\theta (y). $$ One differentiation and one integration provide the result.\hfill $\Box$ \subsection{Main result} \subsubsection{Statement} Recall that $A_n(k)$ denotes the number of haplotypes carried by $k$ individuals in a sample of $n$. \begin{thm} \label{thm : AFS large} For all $k\ge 1$, the following convergence holds a.s. $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}A_n(k) = \intgen dx \,\theta\,e^{-\theta x} \frac{1}{W_\theta(x)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(x)}\right)^{k-1}. $$ In addition, $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}A_n = \intgen dx \,\theta\,e^{-\theta x} \frac{1}{W_\theta(x)}=\EE\left(1-e^{-\theta H^\theta}\right). $$ \end{thm} Before proving this statement, we insert a (sub)subsection in which we state and prove a preliminary key result. \subsubsection{The key lemma} Recall that $\ell_{1i}$ denotes the (time elapsed since the) $i$-th (most recent) mutation on the first branch length. In particular, the mutations carried by individual 1 and not by individual 0 are exactly those $\ell_{1i}$ such that $\ell_{1i}<H_1$ (the other points of the process are thrown away). Let $N_i$ denote the number of individuals whose \emph{most recent mutation} is $\ell_{1i}$. \begin{lem} \label{lem : key} In an infinite sample, for any integer $k\ge 1$, $$ \sum_{i\ge 1} \PP(N_i=k)= \intgen \theta \,e^{-\theta z} \, dz \,\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\right)^{k-1} $$ \end{lem} \paragraph{Proof.} In the first place, not to care for the fact that only mutations with $\ell_{1i}<H_1$ contribute, we consider the number $N_i'$ of individuals whose most recent mutation is $\ell_{0i}$, and we condition on $\ell_{0j}=v_j$, $j\ge 1$. We will use later the fact that the law of $N_i$ conditional on $\ell_{1j}=v_j$, $j\ge 1$, is that of $N_i'\indicbis{v_i<H}$, where $H$ is independent of $N_i'$ and the point process $(\ell_{0i};i\ge 1)$. Recall from the previous subsection that ${\cal E}^\theta$ is the set of individuals who carry no more mutations than individual 0, that $K_i^\theta$ is the $i$-th individual in ${\cal E}^\theta$, and $H_i^\theta:=H_{K_i^\theta}$. Then set $D_0:=0$ and $$ D_i:= \inf\{j\ge 1 : H_j^\theta > v_{i-1}\}\qquad i\ge 1. $$ Now observe that $N_i'=D_{i}-D_{i-1}$ for all $i\ge 1$ (for $N_1'$, the count includes individual 0). As an application of Proposition \ref{prop : next branch with no}, we get that conditional on $\ell_{0j}=v_j$, $j\ge 1$, $$ \PP(N_1'=k)= \PP(H^\theta <v_1 )^{k-1}\PP(H^\theta >v_1), $$ whereas for any $i\ge 2$, $$ \PP(N_i'\not=0)= \PP(H^\theta <v_i \mid H^\theta > v_{i-1}) \quad \mbox{ and }\quad \PP(N_i'=k \mid N_i' \not=0)= \PP(H^\theta <v_i )^{k-1}\PP(H^\theta >v_i). $$ Recalling the relation between the laws of $N_i$ and $N_i'$ mentioned in the beginning of the proof, we get that conditional on $\ell_{1j}=v_j$, $j\ge 1$, $$ \PP(N_1=k)= \PP(H^\theta <v_1 )^{k-1}\PP(H^\theta >v_1)\PP(H >v_1). $$ whereas for any $i\ge 2$, $$ \PP(N_i\not=0)= \PP(H^\theta <v_i \mid H^\theta > v_{i-1})\PP(H>v_i). $$ Now $\PP(N_i'=k \mid N_i' \not=0)=\PP(N_i=k \mid N_i \not=0)$, so we finally get (for $i\ge 2$) \debeq \PP(N_i=k) &=&\PP(H^\theta <v_i )^{k-1}\PP(H^\theta <v_i \mid H^\theta > v_{i-1})\PP(H^\theta >v_i)\PP(H>v_i)\\ &=&\left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(v_i)}\right)^{k-1}\left(1-\frac{W_\theta(v_{i-1})}{W_\theta(v_i)}\right)\frac{1}{W(v_i)W_\theta(v_i)} . \fineq It is well-known that for the Poisson point process of mutations, $$ \PP(\ell_{1,i-1}\in dx, \ell_{1i} \in dz)= \frac{\theta^i x^{i-2}}{(i-2)!}\,e^{-\theta z}\, dx\, dz\qquad 0<x<z, i\ge 2, $$ so that \debeq \sum_{i\ge 2}\PP(N_i=k) &=& \sum_{i\ge 2} \intgen dz \int_0^z dx\, \frac{\theta^i x^{i-2}}{(i-2)!} \, e^{-\theta z}\, \left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\right)^{k-1}\left(1-\frac{W_\theta(x)}{W_\theta(z)}\right)\frac{1}{W(z)W_\theta(z)}\\ &=&\intgen dz\, \theta \, e^{-\theta z} \left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\right)^{k-1}\frac{1}{W(z)W_\theta(z)} \int_0^z dx\, \theta\,e^{\theta x} \left(1-\frac{W_\theta(x)}{W_\theta(z)}\right). \fineq Now thanks to Proposition \ref{prop : next branch with no}, we can perform the following integration by parts on the last integral in the last display \debeq \int_0^z dx\, \theta\,e^{\theta x} \left(1-\frac{W_\theta(x)}{W_\theta(z)}\right) &=& \left[ e^{\theta x} \left(1-\frac{W_\theta(x)}{W_\theta(z)}\right)\right]_0^z +\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\int_0^z dx\, e^{\theta x} W_\theta'(x)\\ &=& -1+\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}+ \frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\int_0^z dx\, W'(x)\\ &=& \frac{W(z)}{W_\theta(z)}-1. \fineq This entails $$ \sum_{i\ge 2}\PP(N_i=k) = \intgen dz\, \theta \, e^{-\theta z} \left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\right)^{k-1}\frac{1}{W(z)W_\theta(z)}\left(\frac{W(z)}{W_\theta(z)}-1\right). $$ But since $$ \PP(N_1=k)=\intgen dz\, \theta \, e^{-\theta z} \left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\right)^{k-1}\frac{1}{W(z)W_\theta(z)}, $$ the result follows.\hfill$\Box$ \subsubsection{Proof of Theorem \ref{thm : AFS large}} For each individual $i\ge 0$, we denote by ${\cal A}_{ij}$ the set of individuals bearing the unique haplotype whose most recent mutation is $\ell_{ij}$. In particular, it is understood that ${\cal A}_{ij}=\emptyset$ whenever $\ell_{ij}>H_i$ (because no such haplotype exists). Now fix $M\ge 1$. Similarly as in the proof of Theorem \ref{thm : SFS large}, we can define $$ G_M(\Xi_i):= \mbox{ Card } \{j\ge 1: \mbox{ Card } {\cal A}_{ij} \cap\{i,\ldots,i+M\} \ge k\}, $$ where $$ \Xi_i:=(({\cal P}_i, H_i),\ldots,({\cal P}_{i+M}, H_{i+M})). $$ Observe that $G_M$ is bounded from above, so that $G_M(\Xi_i)$ is integrable for all $i\ge 0$. Now for any $0\le r\le M$, the random variables $G_M(\Xi_i)$, for $i$ such that $i=r\; [M+1]$ (standing for mod $(M+1)$), are i.i.d. and integrable, so by the strong law of large numbers, we have the following convergence a.s. (and in $L^1$) $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}\sum_{0\le i= r [M+1]\le n-M}G_M(\Xi_i)=\frac{1}{M+1}\;\EE(G_M(\Xi_1)). $$ Summing over $r$ these $M+1$ equalities, we get the following convergence a.s. (and in $L^1$) $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}\sum_{i=0}^{n-M}G_M(\Xi_i)=\EE(G_M(\Xi_1)). $$ Our goal is now to let $M\tendinfty$. First define $$ A_n'(k):=\sum_{i=0}^n\mbox{ Card } \{j\ge 1: \mbox{ Card } {\cal A}_{ij} \cap\{i,\ldots,n\} \ge k\}. $$ Notice that $$ A_n'(k) = \sum_{h\ge k} A_n(h). $$ Then for any $i=0,\ldots, n-M$, for any $j\ge 1$, if $\mbox{ Card } {\cal A}_{ij} \cap\{i,\ldots,i+M\} \ge k$, then $\mbox{ Card } {\cal A}_{ij} \cap\{i,\ldots,n\} \ge k$, so that $A_n'(k)\ge \sum_{i=1}^{n-M}G_M(\Xi_i)$, and $$ \liminf_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1} A_n'(k)\ge \liminf_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n-M}G_M(\Xi_i)= \EE(G_M(\Xi_1)). $$ Letting $M\tendinfty$, Beppo Levi's theorem yields $$ \liminf_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1} A_n'(k) \ge \EE\;\big[ \mbox{Card } \{j\ge 1: \mbox{ Card } {\cal A}_{1j} \ge k\}\big]= \sum_{j\ge 1} \PP(\mbox{Card } {\cal A}_{1j} \ge k)=:y_k. $$ In the notation of the previous subsection $\mbox{Card } {\cal A}_{1j}=N_j$, so by Fubini--Tonelli's theorem, $$ y_k=\sum_{j\ge 1}\PP(N_j\ge k)=\sum_{j\ge 1}\sum_{h\ge k}\PP(N_j=h)=\sum_{h\ge k} x_h, $$ where $x_k:= \sum_{j\ge 1}\PP(N_j=k)$. Thanks to Lemma \ref{lem : key} we have the following explicit expression for $x_k$ $$ x_k=\intgen \theta \,e^{-\theta z} \, dz \,\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)^2}\left(1-\frac{1}{W_\theta(z)}\right)^{k-1}. $$ Now recall that $\sum_{k\ge 1}A_n'(k)=\sum_{h\ge 1}hA_n(h)=n$. Since it is easily seen that $\sum_{k\ge 1}y_k=\sum_{h\ge 1}hx_h=1$, by Fatou's lemma $$ 1=\sum_{k\ge 1}y_k \le \sum_{k\ge 1}\liminf_n n^{-1}A_n'(k)\le \liminf_n n^{-1}\sum_{k\ge 1} A_n'(k)=1. $$ Then we would get a contradiction if there was $k_0$ such that $\liminf_n n^{-1}A_n'(k_0)>y_{k_0}$, so that for all $k\ge 1$ a.s., $$ \lim_{n\tendinfty} n^{-1}A_n'(k)=y_{k}. $$ The first equation of the theorem stems from the fact that $A_n(k) = A_n'(k) -A_n'(k+1)$ and the second one by taking $k=1$ in the last display. It takes an elementary integration by parts to check that $$ y_1 = \intgen dx \,\theta\,e^{-\theta x} \frac{1}{W_\theta(x)}= \EE\left(1-e^{-\theta H^\theta}\right). $$ \paragraph{Acknowledgments.} This work was partially funded by the project MAEV `Modèles Aléatoires de l'\'Evolution du Vivant' of ANR (French national research agency).

TITLE: Resultants - if $a,b$ have degrees $m,n$, why are there polynomials $u,v$ of degrees $m-1,n-1$ so that $Res(a,b)=av-bu$? QUESTION [2 upvotes]: Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Suppose I have polynomials $a\left(x\right),b\left(x\right) \in R\left[x\right]$ of degrees $m,n$, respectively. My reading states that there then exist polynomials $u\left(x\right),v\left(x\right) \in R\left[x\right]$ of degrees $m-1,n-1$, respectively, such that $a(x)v(x)-b(x)u(x) = \operatorname{Res}_{m,n}(a(x), b(x))$. My question is why must this be true and how can it be proven? I have tried small examples by hand and it seems to be true, but I have no idea how to approach a proof. I think there might be a way via the division algorithm, but that isn't obvious to me. REPLY [2 votes]: You cannot demand $u\left( x\right) $ and $v\left( x\right) $ to have degrees exactly $m-1$ and $n-1$. Indeed, if $R=\mathbb{Q}$ and $m=2$ and $n=2$ and $a\left( x\right) =x^{2}$ and $b\left( x\right) =x^{2}-1$, then the only pair $\left( u\left( x\right) ,\ v\left( x\right) \right) $ of two polynomials $u\left( x\right) $ and $v\left( x\right) $ of degree $\leq1$ satisfying $a\left( x\right) v\left( x\right) -b\left( x\right) u\left( x\right) =\operatorname{Res}_{2,2}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) =1$ is $\left( 1,\ 1\right) $, so the degrees are $0$ here. So the appropriate thing to ask for is to have two polynomials $u\left( x\right) $ and $v\left( x\right) $ of degrees $\leq m-1$ and $\leq n-1$, respectively, that satisfy \begin{align} a\left( x\right) v\left( x\right) -b\left( x\right) u\left( x\right) =\operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) . \end{align} To prove that two such polynomials exist (in full generality, assuming that $m+n > 0$), we recall the linear-algebraic meaning of the resultant first. For each nonnegative integer $k$, we let $R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<k}$ denote the $R$-submodule of $R\left[ x\right] $ spanned by $x^{0},x^{1} ,\ldots,x^{k-1}$. This is a free $R$-module of rank $k$; it consists of those polynomials that have degree $<k$. Now, consider the map \begin{align*} \Phi:R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m} & \rightarrow R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n+m},\\ \left( r\left( x\right) ,\ s\left( x\right) \right) & \mapsto a\left( x\right) r\left( x\right) +b\left( x\right) s\left( x\right) . \end{align*} This is an $R$-linear map between two free $R$-modules of the same rank. Moreover, with respect to the "monomial" bases of both $R$-modules $R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}$ and $R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n+m}$ (that is, the bases formed by the monomials), this linear map $\Phi$ is represented precisely by the Sylvester matrix \begin{align} S:=\left( \begin{array} [c]{c} \begin{array} [c]{ccccccccc} a_{0} & 0 & 0 & \cdots & 0 & b_{0} & 0 & \cdots & 0\\ a_{1} & a_{0} & 0 & \cdots & 0 & b_{1} & b_{0} & \cdots & 0\\ \vdots & a_{1} & a_{0} & \cdots & 0 & \vdots & b_{1} & \ddots & \vdots\\ \vdots & \vdots & a_{1} & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & b_{0}\\ a_{m} & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & a_{0} & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & b_{1}\\ 0 & a_{m} & \vdots & \ddots & a_{1} & b_{n} & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots & 0 & b_{n} & \ddots & \vdots\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \ddots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \cdots & a_{m} & 0 & 0 & \cdots & b_{n} \end{array} \\ \underbrace{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } _{n\text{ columns}} \underbrace{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ } _{m\text{ columns}} \end{array} \right) \end{align} (where $a_{0},a_{1},\ldots,a_{m}$ are the coefficients of $a\left( x\right) $, and where $b_{0},b_{1},\ldots,b_{n}$ are the coefficients of $b\left( x\right) $). The determinant $\det S$ of this matrix $S$ is precisely the resultant $\operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) $. Now, we need the following fact: Lemma 1. Let $M$ and $N$ be two free $R$-modules of the same rank, which is finite. Let $f:M\rightarrow N$ be an $R$-linear map. Let $A$ be a matrix that represents this map $f$ with respect to some pair of bases of $M$ and of $N$. Then, $\left( \det A\right) \cdot v\in f\left( M\right) $ for each $v\in N$. Proof of Lemma 1. Let $k$ be the rank of the free modules $M$ and $N$. We WLOG assume that both $M$ and $N$ are the $R$-module $R^{k}$ of column vectors of size $k$, and that the $R$-linear map $f$ is actually the left multiplication by the matrix $A$ -- that is, we have $f\left( w\right) =Aw$ for each vector $w\in R^{k}$. (This is an assumption we can make, because we can always replace $M$ and $N$ by $R^{k}$ via the two bases we have chosen, and then the linear map $f$ becomes the left multiplication by the matrix that represents it with respect to these bases; but this matrix is precisely $A$.) Let $\operatorname*{adj}A$ be the adjugate of the matrix $A$. It is well-known that $A\cdot\operatorname*{adj}A=\left( \det A\right) \cdot I_{k}$ (where $I_{k}$ denotes the $k\times k$ identity matrix). Now, let $v\in N$. Then, $v\in N=R^{k}$ and $\left( \operatorname*{adj}A\right) \cdot v\in R^{k}=M$. Furthermore, \begin{align*} f\left( \left( \operatorname*{adj}A\right) \cdot v\right) & =\underbrace{A\cdot\left( \operatorname*{adj}A\right) }_{=\left( \det A\right) \cdot I_{k}}\cdot v\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left( \text{since }f\left( w\right) =Aw\text{ for each }w\in R^{k}\right) \\ & =\left( \det A\right) \cdot I_{k}v=\left( \det A\right) \cdot v, \end{align*} so that \begin{align} \left( \det A\right) \cdot v=f\left( \left( \operatorname*{adj}A\right) \cdot v\right) \in f\left( M\right) . \end{align} This proves Lemma 1. $\blacksquare$ We can now easily finish our proof: Applying Lemma 1 to $M=R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}$ and $N=R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n+m}$ and $f=\Phi$ and $A=S$ and $v=1$, we conclude that \begin{align} \left( \det S\right) \cdot1\in\Phi\left( R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}\right) \end{align} (since $R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}$ and $R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n+m}$ are two free $R$-modules of the same rank, which is finite). Since $\left( \det S\right) \cdot1=\det S=\operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) $, we can rewrite this as \begin{align} \operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) =\Phi\left( R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}\right) . \end{align} In other words, there exists a pair $\left( r\left( x\right) ,\ s\left( x\right) \right) \in R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}$ such that $\operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) =\Phi\left( r\left( x\right) ,\ s\left( x\right) \right) $. Consider this pair. Then, \begin{align*} \operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) & =\Phi\left( r\left( x\right) ,\ s\left( x\right) \right) \\ & =a\left( x\right) r\left( x\right) +b\left( x\right) s\left( x\right) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \left( \text{by the definition of }\Phi\right) \\ & =a\left( x\right) r\left( x\right) -b\left( x\right) \left( -s\left( x\right) \right) . \end{align*} Moreover, from $\left( r\left( x\right) ,\ s\left( x\right) \right) \in R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}\times R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<m}$, we obtain $r\left( x\right) \in R\left[ x\right] _{\deg<n}$, so that $\deg\left( r\left( x\right) \right) <n$ and thus $\deg\left( r\left( x\right) \right) \leq n-1$. Similarly, $\deg\left( s\left( x\right) \right) \leq m-1$, so that $\deg\left( -s\left( x\right) \right) \leq m-1$ as well. Thus, we have found two polynomials $u\left( x\right) $ and $v\left( x\right) $ of degrees $\leq m-1$ and $\leq n-1$, respectively, that satisfy \begin{align} a\left( x\right) v\left( x\right) -b\left( x\right) u\left( x\right) =\operatorname{Res}_{m,n}\left( a\left( x\right) ,\ b\left( x\right) \right) \end{align} (namely, $u\left( x\right) =-s\left( x\right) $ and $v\left( x\right) =r\left( x\right) $).

\begin{document} \title[Classification problems in $2$-representation theory] {Classification problems in\\ $2$-representation theory} \author{Volodymyr Mazorchuk} \begin{abstract} This article surveys recent advances and future challenges in the $2$-representation theory of finitary $2$-categories with a particular emphasis on problems related to classification of various classes of $2$-representations. \end{abstract} \maketitle \section{Introduction}\label{s1} Higher representation theory emerged as an offspring of categorification. The latter term traditionally describes the approach, originated in \cite{CF,Cr}, of upgrading set-theoretical notions to category theoretical with a hope to create more structure. The major breakthrough of categorification was invention of Khovanov homology in \cite{Kh}. After that several other spectacular applications followed, for example, to Brou{\'e}'s abelian defect group conjecture in \cite{CR}, to study of modules over Lie superalgebras in \cite{BS,BLW} and to various other problems. The common feature of all these and many other applications is that construction and comparison of functorial actions on different categories was the key part of the argument. Functorial actions form the red thread of \cite{BFK} leading to an alternative reformulation of Khovanov homology in \cite{St} using BGG category $\mathcal{O}$. In \cite{CR} and, later on, in \cite{Ro}, functorial actions were abstractly reformulated in terms of representation theory of certain $2$-categories. This direction of study was subsequently called {\em higher representation theory} or, alternatively, just {\em $2$-representation theory} to emphasize that, so far, it directs only at this second level of general higher categories. However, one has to note that these and many further papers like \cite{KL,El} and other mainly study special examples of $2$-categories which originate in topologically motivated diagrammatic calculus. The series \cite{MM1,MM2,MM3,MM4,MM5,MM6} of papers took higher representation theory to a more abstract level. These papers started a systematic study of abstract $2$-analogues of finite dimensional algebras, called {\em finitary $2$-categories}, and their representation theory. Despite of the fact that the $2$-category of $2$-representations of an abstract finitary $2$-category is much more complicated than the category of modules over a finite dimensional algebra (in particular, it is not abelian), it turned out that, in many cases, it is possible to {\em construct}, {\em compare} and even {\em classify} various classes of $2$-representations. These kinds of problems were recently studied in a number of papers, see \cite{MM5,MM6,Zh2,MZ1,MaMa,KMMZ,MT,MMMT,MMZ,MZ2}. The aim of the present article is to give an overview of these results with a particular emphasis on open problems and future challenges. We start in Section~\ref{s2} with a brief description of main objects of study. Section~\ref{s3} lists a number of classical examples. Sections~\ref{s4}, \ref{s5} and \ref{s6} then concentrate on special classes of $2$-representations. In particular, Sections~\ref{s4} addresses {\em cell $2$-representations} and Sections~\ref{s5} is devoted to {\em simple transitive $2$-representations}. We do not provide any proofs but rather give explicit references to original sources. The present paper might serve as a complement reading to the series of lectures on higher representation theory which the author gave during {\em Brazilian Algebra Meeting} in Diamantina, Brazil, in August 2016. \vspace{5mm} {\bf Acknowledgments.} The author is partially supported by the Swedish Research Council and G{\"o}ran Gustafsson Stiftelse.

This means that a $2$-category $\cC$ consists of \begin{itemize} \item objects, denoted $\mathtt{i}$, $\mathtt{j}$, $\mathtt{k}$,\dots; \item small morphism categories $\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$, for all $\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j}\in\cC$; \item bifunctorial compositions $\cC(\mathtt{j},\mathtt{k})\times \cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j}) \to \cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{k})$, for all $\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j},\mathtt{k}\in\cC$; \item and identity objects $\mathbbm{1}_{\mathtt{i}}\in \cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{i})$, for all $\mathtt{i}\in\cC$; \end{itemize} which satisfy the obvious collection of strict axioms. The following terminology is standard: \begin{itemize} \item objects in $\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ are called {\em $1$-morphisms} of $\cC$ and will be denoted by $\mathrm{F}$, $\mathrm{G}$, etc.; \item morphisms in $\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ are called {\em $2$-morphisms} of $\cC$ and will be denoted by $\alpha$, $\beta$, etc.; \item composition of $2$-morphisms inside $\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ is called {\em vertical} and will be denoted by $\circ_v$; \item composition of $2$-morphisms coming from $\cC(\mathtt{j},\mathtt{k})\times \cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j}) \to \cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{k})$ is called {\em horizontal} and will be denoted by $\circ_h$. \end{itemize} As usual, for a $1$-morphism $\mathrm{F}$, the identity $2$-morphism for $\mathrm{F}$ is denoted $\mathrm{id}_{\mathrm{F}}$, moreover, for a $2$-morphism $\alpha$, the compositions $\mathrm{id}_{\mathrm{F}}\circ_h\alpha$ and $\mathrm{id}_{\mathrm{F}}\circ_h\alpha$ are denoted by $\mathrm{F}(\alpha)$ and $\alpha_{\mathrm{F}}$, respectively. We refer the reader to \cite{Le,Mc} for more details on $2$-categories and for various generalizations, in particular, for the corresponding {\em non-strict} notion of a {\em bicategory}. Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field. Recall that a category $\mathcal{C}$ is called {\em finitary $\Bbbk$-linear} provided that it is equivalent to the category of projective modules over a finite dimensional (associative) $\Bbbk$-algebra. Each such category is $\Bbbk$-linear, that is enriched over the category of $\Bbbk$-vector spaces, moreover, it is idempotent split and Krull-Schmidt and has finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects and finite dimensional (over $\Bbbk$) spaces of morphisms. Following \cite[Subsection~2.2]{MM1}, we will say that a {\em $2$-category} $\cC$ is {\em finitary over $\Bbbk$} provided that \begin{itemize} \item each $\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ is finitary $\Bbbk$-linear; \item all compositions are biadditive and $\Bbbk$-bilinear, whenever appropriate; \item all $\mathbbm{1}_{\mathtt{i}}$ are indecomposable. \end{itemize} The last condition is a technical condition which makes the life easier at many occasions. From the representation theoretic prospective, this condition is not restrictive as, starting from a $2$-category satisfying all other conditions, one can use idempotent splitting to produce a finitary $2$-category with essentially the same representation theory. In what follows, we will simply say that $\cC$ is {\em finitary} as our field $\Bbbk$ will be fixed throughout the paper (with the exception of examples related to Soergel bimodules where $\Bbbk=\mathbb{C}$). \subsection{$2$-representations}\label{s2.2} For two $2$-categories $\cA$ and $\cC$, a {\em $2$-functor} $\Phi:\cA\to \cC$ is a functor which respects all $2$-categorical structure. This means that $\Phi$ \begin{itemize} \item maps $1$-morphisms to $1$-morphisms; \item maps $2$-morphisms to $2$-morphisms; \item is compatible with composition of $1$-morphisms; \item is compatible with both horizontal and vertical composition of $2$-morphisms; \item sends identity $1$-morphisms to identity $1$-morphisms; \item sends identity $2$-morphisms to identity $2$-morphisms. \end{itemize} A {\em $2$-representation} of a $2$-category $\cC$ is a $2$-functor to some fixed $2$-category. Classical examples of such target $2$-categories are: \begin{itemize} \item the $2$-category $\mathbf{Cat}$ of small categories, here $1$-morphisms are functors and $2$-morphisms are natural transformations; \item the $2$-category $\mathfrak{A}^{f}_{\Bbbk}$ of {\em finitary $\Bbbk$-linear} categories, here $1$-morphisms are additive $\Bbbk$-linear functors and $2$-morphisms are natural transformations; \item the $2$-category $\mathfrak{R}_{\Bbbk}$ of {\em finitary abelian $\Bbbk$-linear} categories, here objects are categories equivalent to module categories of finite dimensional (associative) $\Bbbk$-algebras, $1$-morphisms are right exact additive $\Bbbk$-linear functors and $2$-morphisms are natural transformations. \end{itemize} All $2$-representations of a $2$-category $\cC$ (in a fixed target $2$-category) form a $2$-category. In this $2$-category we have: \begin{itemize} \item $1$-morphisms are (strong) $2$-natural transformations; \item $2$-morphisms are modifications. \end{itemize} One has to make a choice for the level of strictness for $1$-morphisms in the $2$-category of $2$-representations of $\cC$. In the language of \cite[Subsection~1.2]{Le}, this corresponds to choosing between the so-called strong or strict transformations. Strict transformations were considered in the paper \cite{MM1} and the setup was changed to strong transformations in \cite{MM3}. The latter allows for more flexibility and more reasonable results (for example, the relation of equivalence of two $2$-representations becomes symmetric). For a finitary $2$-category $\cC$, its $2$-representations in $\mathfrak{A}^{f}_{\Bbbk}$ are called {\em finitary additive} $2$-representations and the corresponding $2$-category of $2$-representations is denoted by $\cC\text{-}\mathrm{afmod}$. Further, $2$-representations of $\cC$ in $\mathfrak{R}_{\Bbbk}$ are called {\em abelian} $2$-representations and the corresponding $2$-category of $2$-representations is denoted by $\cC\text{-}\mathrm{mod}$. Note that neither $\cC\text{-}\mathrm{afmod}$ nor $\cC\text{-}\mathrm{mod}$ are abelian categories. We will usually denote $2$-representations of $\cC$ by $\mathbf{M}$, $\mathbf{N}$ etc. For the sake of readability, it is often convenient to use the actions notation $\mathrm{F}\, X$ instead of the representation notation $\mathbf{M}(\mathrm{F})\big( X\big)$. Here is an example of a $2$-representation: for $\mathtt{i}\in\cC$, the {\em principal} $2$-representation $\mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}$ is defined to be the Yoneda $2$-representation $\cC(\mathtt{i},{}_-)$. If $\cC$ is finitary, we have $\mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}\in \cC\text{-}\mathrm{afmod}$. Two $2$-representations $\mathbf{M}$ and $\mathbf{N}$ of $\cC$ are called {\em equivalent} provided that there is a $2$-natural transformation $\Phi:\mathbf{M}\to\mathbf{N}$ such that $\Phi_{\mathtt{i}}$ is an equivalence of categories, for each $\mathtt{i}\in\cC$. \subsection{Abelianization}\label{s2.3} Given a finitary $\Bbbk$-linear category $\mathcal{C}$, the {\em diagrammatic abe\-li\-a\-ni\-za\-tion} of $\mathcal{C}$ is the category $\overline{\mathcal{C}}$ of diagrams of the form $X\overset{\alpha}{\longrightarrow} Y$ over $\mathcal{C}$ with morphisms being the obvious commutative squares modulo the projective homotopy relations. The category $\overline{\mathcal{C}}$ is abelian and is equivalent to the category of modules over a finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra. The original category $\mathcal{C}$ canonically embeds into $\overline{\mathcal{C}}$ via diagrams of the form $0\to Y$ and this embedding provides an equivalence between $\mathcal{C}$ and the category of projective objects in $\overline{\mathcal{C}}$. We refer the reader to \cite{Fr} for details. For a finitary $2$-category $\cC$, using diagrammatic abelianization and component-wise action on diagrams defines a $2$-functor \begin{displaymath} \overline{\hspace{1mm}\cdot\hspace{1mm}}: \cC\text{-}\mathrm{afmod}\to \cC\text{-}\mathrm{mod}, \end{displaymath} called {\em abelianization}, see \cite[Subsection~3.1]{MM1}. In \cite[Section~3]{MMMT} one finds a more advanced refinement of this construction which is way more technical but also has some extra nice properties. \subsection{Fiat $2$-categories}\label{s2.4} As we will see, many examples of finitary $2$-categories have additional structure which plays very important role and significantly simplifies many arguments. This additional structure, on a finitary $2$-category $\cC$, consists of \begin{itemize} \item a {\em weak involution} $\star$ which inverts the direction of both $1$- and $2$-morphisms, \item {\em adjunction morphisms} $\varepsilon^{(\mathrm{F})}:\mathrm{F}\circ \mathrm{F}^{\star}\to\mathbbm{1}_{\mathtt{j}}$ and $\eta^{(\mathrm{F})}:\mathbbm{1}_{\mathtt{i}}\to \mathrm{F}^{\star}\circ \mathrm{F}$, for each $\mathrm{F}\in\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$, which make $(\mathrm{F},\mathrm{F}^{\star})$ a pair of adjoint $1$-morphisms in the sense that \begin{displaymath} \mathrm{id}_{\mathrm{F}}=\varepsilon^{(\mathrm{F})}_{\mathrm{F}}\circ_v\mathrm{F}(\eta^{(\mathrm{F})}) \quad\text{ and }\quad \mathrm{id}_{\mathrm{F}}^{\star}=\mathrm{F}^{\star}(\varepsilon^{(\mathrm{F})})\circ_v \eta^{(\mathrm{F})}_{\mathrm{F}^{\star}}. \end{displaymath} \end{itemize} A $2$-category $\cC$ having such an additional structure is called {\em fiat}, where ``f'' stands for {\em finitary}, ``i'' stands for {\em involution}, ``a'' stands for {\em adjunction} and ``t'' stands for {\em $2$-category}, see \cite[Subsection~2.4]{MM1}. If a similar structure exists for a not necessarily involutive anti-autoequivalence $\star$, the $2$-category $\cC$ is called {\em weakly fiat}, see \cite[Subsection~7.3]{MM2} and \cite[Appendix]{MM6}. In many situations, involutions in $2$-categories change the direction of $1$-morphisms but preserve the direction of $2$-morphisms, see e.g. \cite[Page~3]{Le}. The above definition, in which both the directions of $1$- and $2$-morphisms get reversed, is motivated by the $2$-category of endofunctors of $A$-mod, for a finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$. For each pair $(\mathrm{F},\mathrm{G})$ of adjoint endofunctors of $A$-mod, there is an $A$-$A$-bimodule $Q$ such that $\mathrm{F}$ is isomorphic to $Q\otimes_A{}_-$ and $\mathrm{G}$ is isomorphic to $\mathrm{Hom}_{A-}(Q,{}_-)$, see \cite[Chapter~I]{Ba}. Natural transformations between functors correspond to homomorphisms between bimodules. When taking the adjoint functor, the bimodule $Q$ ends up on the contravariant place of the bifunctor $\mathrm{Hom}$ and hence the direction of natural transformations gets reversed. In the literature one could find similar structures under the name of {\em rigid} tensor categories categories, see e.g. \cite{EGNO}. \subsection{Grothendieck decategorification}\label{s2.5} For an finitary $\Bbbk$-linear category $\mathcal{C}$, let $[\mathcal{C}]_{\oplus}$ denote the {\em split Grothendieck group} of $\mathcal{C}$. Then $[\mathcal{C}]_{\oplus}$ is a free abelian group which has a canonical generating set given by isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in $\mathcal{C}$. For a category $\mathcal{C}$ equivalent to $A$-mod, for some finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, let $[\mathcal{C}]$ denote the {\em Grothendieck group} of $\mathcal{C}$. Then $[\mathcal{C}]$ is a free abelian group which has a canonical generating set given by isomorphism classes of simple objects in $\mathcal{C}$. Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}\in \cC$-afmod. Let $[\cC]_{\oplus}$ denote the ordinary category which has the same objects as $\cC$ and in which morphisms are given by $[\cC]_{\oplus}(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j}):=[\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})]_{\oplus}$ with induced composition. The category $[\cC]_{\oplus}$ is called the {\em Grothendieck decategorification} of $\cC$. The category $[\cC]_{\oplus}$ acts on abelian groups $[\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i})]_{\oplus}$, where $\mathtt{i}\in \cC$, which in this way defines the {\em Grothendieck decategorification} $[\mathbf{M}]_{\oplus}$ of $\mathbf{M}$. If $\cC$ is fiat and $\mathbf{M}\in \cC$-mod, then $[\cC]_{\oplus}$ acts on abelian groups $[\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i})]$, where $\mathtt{i}\in \cC$, which in this way defines the {\em Grothendieck decategorification} $[\mathbf{M}]$ of $\mathbf{M}$. We note that there are alternative decategorifications, notably, the {\em trace decategorification} introduced in \cite{BGHL}. \section{Examples of finitary $2$-categories}\label{s3} \subsection{Set-theoretic issues}\label{s3.1} There are some set-theoretic complications due to the fact that, by definition, each $\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ of a $2$-category $\cC$ has to be small. This prevents us to consider, for example, the category of all $A$-$A$--bimodules, for a finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, as a $2$-category (with one formal object that can be identified with $A$-mod). The reason for that is the observation that the category of all bimodules is not small. In what follows we will give many examples by considering all endofunctors (of some type) of some category $\mathcal{C}$. To avoid the above problem, we will always assume that $\mathcal{C}$ is small. This, however, creates a choice. For example, one has to choose a small category $\mathcal{C}$ equivalent to $A$-mod. Different choices of $\mathcal{C}$ lead to different, however, usually {\em biequivalent}, $2$-categories. \subsection{Projective endofunctors of $A$-mod}\label{s3.2} Let $A$ be a finite dimensional, basic, connected $\Bbbk$-algebra. Fix a small category $\mathcal{C}$ equivalent to $A$-mod. Recall that a {\em projective} $A$-$A$-bimodule is an $A$-$A$-bimodule from the additive closure $\mathrm{add}(A\otimes_{\Bbbk}A)$ of ${}_AA\otimes_{\Bbbk}A_A$. We also have the {\em regular} or {\em identity} $A$-$A$-bimodule ${}_AA_A$. Denote by $\cC_A=\cC_{A,\mathcal{C}}$ the $2$-category which has \begin{itemize} \item one object $\mathtt{i}$ (which should be though of as $\mathcal{C}$); \item as $1$-morphisms, endofunctors of $\mathcal{C}$ from the additive closure of endofunctors given by tensoring with projective or regular $A$-$A$-bimodules; \item as $2$-morphisms, all natural transformations of functors. \end{itemize} This $2$-category appears in \cite[Subsection~7.3]{MM1}. If $A$ is simple, then $A\cong\Bbbk$ and $\cC_A$ has a unique (up to isomorphism) indecomposable $1$-morphism, namely $\mathbb{1}_{\mathtt{i}}$. If $A$ is not simple, let $e_1+e_2+\dots+e_n=1$ be a primitive decomposition of the identity $1\in A$. Then, apart from $\mathbb{1}_{\mathtt{i}}$, the $2$-category $\cC_A$ has $n^2$ additional indecomposable $1$-morphisms $\mathrm{F}_{ij}$, where, for $i,j=1,2,\dots,n$, the morphism $\mathrm{F}_{ij}$ corresponds to tensoring with $Ae_i\otimes_{\Bbbk}e_jA$. We note that \begin{displaymath} \mathrm{F}_{ij}\circ\mathrm{F}_{st}\cong \mathrm{F}_{it}^{\dim(e_jAe_s)}\quad\text{ and }\quad \mathrm{F}\circ \mathrm{F}\cong\mathrm{F}^{\dim(A)},\quad\text{ for }\quad \mathrm{F}:=\bigoplus_{i,j=1}^n\mathrm{F}_{ij}. \end{displaymath} The $2$-category $\cC_A$ is always finitary. It is weakly fiat if and only if $A$ is self-injective. It is fiat if and only if $A$ is weakly symmetric. In the latter case, $(\mathrm{F}_{ij},\mathrm{F}_{ji})$ forms an adjoint pair of $1$-morphisms, for all $i$ and $j$. \subsection{Finitary $2$-categories of all bimodules}\label{s3.3} For $n=1,2,\dots$, let $A_n$ denote the $\Bbbk$-algebra given as the quotient of the path algebra of the quiver \begin{equation}\label{eq1} \xymatrix{1\ar[rr]&&2\ar[rr]&&3\ar[rr]&&\dots\ar[rr]&&n} \end{equation} by the relations that the product of any two arrows is zero. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small category equivalent to $A$-mod. Denote by $\cF_{A_n}=\cF_{A_n,\mathcal{C}}$ the $2$-category which has \begin{itemize} \item one object $\mathtt{i}$ (which should be though of as $\mathcal{C}$); \item as $1$-morphisms, all right exact endofunctors of $\mathcal{C}$; \item as $2$-morphisms, all natural transformations of functors. \end{itemize} The $2$-category $\cF_{A_n}$ is finitary, see \cite[Section~2]{MZ2}. The reason for that is the fact that the enveloping algebra $A_n\otimes_{\Bbbk}A_n^{\mathrm{op}}$ of $A_n$ is a special biserial algebra in the sense of \cite{BR,WW}, so one can use the classification of indecomposable modules for this algebra to check that it has, in fact, only finitely many of them, up to isomorphism. Unless $n=1$, the $2$-category $\cF_{A_n}$ is neither fiat nor weakly fiat. Note that a similar $2$-category $\cF_{A}$ can be defined for any connected and basic $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$. However, if $\cF_{A}$ is fiat, then $A\cong A_n$, for some $n$, see \cite[Theorem~1]{MZ2}. \subsection{Subbimodules of the identity bimodule}\label{s3.4} Let $\Gamma$ be a finite oriented tree and $A$ be the path algebra of $\Gamma$. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small category equivalent to $A$-mod. Denote by $\cG_{A}=\cG_{A,\mathcal{C}}$ the $2$-category which has \begin{itemize} \item one object $\mathtt{i}$ (which should be though of as $\mathcal{C}$); \item as $1$-morphisms, all endofunctors of $\mathcal{C}$ from the additive closure of subfunctors of the identity functor; \item as $2$-morphisms, all natural transformations of functors. \end{itemize} The $2$-category $\cG_{A}$ is finitary due to the fact that the regular $A$-$A$-bimodule is multiplicity free and hence has only finitely many subbimodules. Unless $\Gamma$ has one vertex, the $2$-category $\cF_{A_n}$ is neither fiat nor weakly fiat. The $2$-category $\cG_{A}$ first appeared, slightly disguised, in \cite{GM1} (inspired by \cite{Gr}), for $\Gamma$ being the quiver in \eqref{eq1}. It was further studied, for various special types of trees, in \cite{GM2} and \cite{Zh1,Zh2}. \subsection{Soergel bimodules for finite Coxeter systems}\label{s3.5} Let $(W,S)$ be a finite Coxeter system and $\mathfrak{h}$ be a reflection faithful complexified $W$-module. Let, further, $\mathtt{C}$ be the corresponding coinvariant algebra, that is the quotient of $\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{h}]$ by the ideal generated by homogeneous $W$-invariant polynomials of positive degree. Then $\mathtt{C}$ is a finite dimensional algebra which carries the natural structure of a regular $W$-module, in particular, $\dim(\mathtt{C})=|W|$. For $s\in S$, denote by $\mathtt{C}^s$ the subalgebra of $s$-invariants in $\mathtt{C}$. Then $\mathtt{C}$ is a free $\mathtt{C}^s$-module of rank two. Both algebras $\mathtt{C}$ and $\mathtt{C}^s$ are symmetric (recall that $A$ is symmetric provided that ${}_AA_A\cong \mathrm{Hom}_{\Bbbk}({}_AA_A,\Bbbk)$). We refer to \cite{Hi} for details. For $w\in W$ with reduced decomposition $w=s_1s_2\cdots s_k$, define the {\em Bott-Samelson} $\mathtt{C}$-$\mathtt{C}$-bimodule \begin{displaymath} \hat{B}_w:=\mathtt{C}\otimes_{\mathtt{C}^{s_1}}\mathtt{C}\otimes_{\mathtt{C}^{s_2}}\mathtt{C} \otimes_{\mathtt{C}^{s_3}}\dots \otimes_{\mathtt{C}^{s_k}}\mathtt{C}. \end{displaymath} Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small category equivalent to $\mathtt{C}$-mod. Denote by $\cS_{W}=\cS_{W,S,V,\mathcal{C}}$ the $2$-category which has \begin{itemize} \item one object $\mathtt{i}$ (which should be though of as $\mathcal{C}$); \item as $1$-morphisms, all endofunctors of $\mathcal{C}$ coming from tensoring with bimodules from the additive closure of all Bott-Samelson bimodules; \item as $2$-morphisms, all natural transformations of functors. \end{itemize} The $2$-category $\cS_{W}$ is called the $2$-category of {\em Soergel bimodules} over $\mathtt{C}$. The non-trivial point here is the fact that it is closed under composition of functors. This is shown in \cite{So2}. Moreover, it is also shown in \cite{So2} that, for each $w\in W$, the bimodule $\hat{B}_w$ contains a unique indecomposable summand $B_w$ which does not belong to the additive closure of all $\hat{B}_x$, where the length of $x$ is strictly smaller than that of $w$. Bimodules $B_w$ are usually called {\em Soergel bimodules} (although the name is also used for any direct sum of such bimodules). The $2$-category $\cS_{W}$ is both finitary and fiat, where $(B_w,B_{w^{-1}})$ forms an adjoint pair of $1$-morphisms, for all $w$. The theory is inspired by \cite{So1} where, for finite {\em Weyl} groups, Soergel bimodules appear as ``combinatorial description'' of indecomposable projective functors on the principal block of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ associated with a triangular decomposition of the simple finite dimensional Lie algebra corresponding to $W$, see \cite{BGG,BG,Hu} for details on the latter. An explicit connection between the $2$-category of Soergel bimodules and the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis of the Hecke algebra of $(W,S)$ was established in \cite{EW}. \subsection{Singular Soergel bimodules}\label{s3.6} Let $(W,S)$ be a finite Coxeter system, $\mathfrak{h}$ a reflection faithful complexified $W$-module and $\mathtt{C}$ the corresponding coinvariant algebra. For each $T\subset S$, let $W^T$ be the subgroup of $W$ generated by all $t\in T$ and $\mathtt{C}^T$ the subalgebra of $W^T$-invariants in $\mathtt{C}$. Note that $\mathtt{C}^{\varnothing}=\mathtt{C}$ while $\mathtt{C}^S=\mathbb{C}$. For each $T\subset S$, let $\mathcal{C}^T$ be a small category equivalent to $\mathtt{C}^T$-mod. Denote by $\cS\cS_{W}=\cS\cS_{W,S,V,\mathcal{C}}$ the $2$-category which has \begin{itemize} \item objects $\mathtt{i}^T$, where $T\subset S$ (each $\mathtt{i}^T$ should be though of as $\mathcal{C}^T$); \item as $1$-morphisms, all endofunctors from $\mathcal{C}^T$ to $\mathcal{C}^R$ given by \begin{displaymath} \mathrm{Res}^{\mathtt{C}}_{\mathtt{C}^R} \circ\mathrm{F}\circ \mathrm{Ind}^{\mathtt{C}}_{\mathtt{C}^T}, \end{displaymath} where $\mathrm{F}$ is given by a usual Soergel bimodule; \item as $2$-morphisms, all natural transformations of functors. \end{itemize} The $2$-category $\cS\cS_{W}$ is called the $2$-category of {\em singular Soergel bimodules} over $\mathtt{C}$. The $2$-category $\cS\cS_{W}$ is both finitary and fiat. The $2$-category $\cS\cS_{W}$ also admits an alternative description using projective functors between {\em singular} blocks of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$, see \cite{So1,BGG,BG}. \subsection{Finitary quotients of $2$-Kac-Moody algebras}\label{s3.7} Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple complex finite dimensional Lie algebra and $\dot{U}_{\mathfrak{g}}$ the idempotented version of the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$, see \cite{Lu}. The papers \cite{KL,Ro} introduce certain (not finitary) $2$-categories whose Grothendieck decategorification is isomorphic to the integral form of $\dot{U}_{\mathfrak{g}}$. In \cite{Br} it is further shown that the two (slightly different) constructions in \cite{KL,Ro} give, in fact, biequivalent $2$-categories. These are the so-called {\em $2$-Kac-Moody algebras} of finite type which we will denote $\cU_{\mathfrak{g}}$. Each simple finite dimensional $\mathfrak{g}$-module $V(\lambda)$, where $\lambda$ is the highest weight, admits a {\em categorification} in the sense that there exists a $2$-representation $\mathbf{M}_{\lambda}$ of $\cU_{\mathfrak{g}}$ (even a unique one, up to equivalence, under the additional assumption that the object $\lambda$ is represented by a non-zero semi-simple category) whose Grothendieck decategorification is isomorphic to the integral form of $V(\lambda)$. Let $\cI_{\lambda}$ be the kernel of $\mathbf{M}_{\lambda}$. Then $\cI_{\lambda}$ is a two-sided $2$-ideal of $\cU_{\mathfrak{g}}$ and the quotient $2$-category $\cU_{\mathfrak{g}}/\cI_{\lambda}$ is both, finitary and fiat. \section{Cells and cell $2$-representations}\label{s4} \subsection{Cells}\label{s4.1} For a finitary $2$-category $\cC$, denote by $\mathcal{S}[\cC]$ the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable $1$-objects in $\cC$. The set $\mathcal{S}[\cC]$ is finite and has the natural multivalued operation $\bullet$ given, for $[\mathrm{F}],[\mathrm{G}]\in \mathcal{S}[\cC]$, by \begin{displaymath} [\mathrm{F}]\bullet[\mathrm{G}]= \{[\mathrm{H}]\,:\,\mathrm{H}\text{ is isomorphic to a summand of } \mathrm{F}\circ \mathrm{G}\}. \end{displaymath} The operation $\bullet$ is associative (as a multivalued operation) and hence defines on $\mathcal{S}[\cC]$ the structure of a {\em multisemigroup}, see \cite[Section~3]{MM2} (see also \cite{KuMa} for more details on multisemigroups). The {\em left} partial pre-order $\leq_L$ on $\mathcal{S}[\cC]$ is defined by setting $[\mathrm{F}]\leq_L[\mathrm{G}]$, for $[\mathrm{F}],[\mathrm{G}]\in \mathcal{S}[\cC]$, provided that $\mathrm{G}$ is isomorphic to a summand of $\mathrm{H}\circ \mathrm{F}$, for some $1$-morphism $\mathrm{H}$. Equivalence classes with respect to $\leq_L$ are called {\em left cells} and the corresponding equivalence relation is denoted $\sim_L$. The {\em right} partial pre-order $\leq_R$, the {\em right cells} and the corresponding equivalence relation $\sim_R$ are defined similarly using multiplication with $\mathrm{H}$ on the right of $\mathrm{F}$. The {\em two-sided} partial pre-order $\leq_J$, the {\em two-sided cells} and the corresponding equivalence relation $\sim_J$ are defined similarly using multiplication with $\mathrm{H}_1$ and $\mathrm{H}_2$ on both sides of $\mathrm{F}$. These notions are similar and spirit to and generalize the notions of {\em Green's} relations and partial orders for semigroups, see \cite{Gre}, and also the notions of Kazhdan-Lusztig cells and order in \cite{KaLu}, see also \cite{KM2}. We refer the reader to \cite{KuMa} for more details and to \cite{KM2} for a generalization to positively based algebras. For simplicity, we will say ``left cells in $\cC$'' instead of ``left cells in $\mathcal{S}[\cC]$'' and similarly for right and $2$-sided cells. A two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$ is said to be {\em regular} provided that \begin{itemize} \item any pair of left cells inside $\mathcal{J}$ is incomparable with respect to the left order; \item any pair of right cells inside $\mathcal{J}$ is incomparable with respect to the right order. \end{itemize} A two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$ is said to be {\em strongly regular} provided that it is regular and $|\mathcal{L}\cap\mathcal{R}|=1$, for any left cell $\mathcal{L}$ in $\mathcal{J}$ and any right cell $\mathcal{R}$ in $\mathcal{J}$. We refer to \cite[Subsection~4.8]{MM1} for details. A two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$ is said to be {\em idempotent} provided that it contains three elements $\mathrm{F}$, $\mathrm{G}$ and $\mathrm{H}$ (not necessarily distinct) such that $\mathrm{F}$ is isomorphic to a direct summand of $\mathrm{G}\circ \mathrm{H}$, see \cite[Subsection~2.3]{CM}. The following is \cite[Corollary~19]{KM2}. \begin{proposition}\label{prop5} Each idempotent two-sided cell of finitary $2$-category is regular, in particular, each two-sided cell of (weakly) fiat $2$-category is regular. \end{proposition} \subsection{Cell $2$-representations}\label{s4.2} Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathcal{L}$ a left cell in $\cC$. Then there is an object $\mathtt{i}=\mathtt{i}_{\mathcal{L}}\in\cC$ such that all $1$-morphisms in $\mathcal{L}$ start from $\mathtt{i}$. Consider the principal $2$-representation $\mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}$. For each $\mathtt{j}\in\cC$, denote by $\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{j})$ the additive closure in $\mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}(\mathtt{j})$ of all indecomposable $1$-morphisms $\mathrm{F}\in \mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}(\mathtt{j})=\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ satisfying $\mathcal{L}\leq_L \mathrm{F}$ (note that the latter notation makes sense as $\mathcal{L}$ is a left cell). Then $\mathbf{M}$ has the natural structure of a $2$-representation of $\cC$ which is inherited from $\mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}$ by restriction. The following lemma can be found e.g. in \cite[Lemma~3]{MM5}. \begin{lemma}\label{lem1} The $2$-representation $\mathbf{M}$ has a unique maximal $\cC$-invariant ideal $\mathbf{I}$. \end{lemma} The quotient $2$-representation $\mathbf{M}/\mathbf{I}$ is called the {\em cell $2$-representation} corresponding to $\mathcal{L}$ and denoted $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}$. The construction presented here first appears in \cite[Subsection~6.5]{MM2}. It follows directly from the construction that isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in \begin{displaymath} \coprod_{\mathtt{j}\in\ccC} \mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathtt{j}) \end{displaymath} correspond bijectively to elements in $\mathcal{L}$. Note that two cell $2$-representations $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}$ and $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}'}$ might be equivalent even in the case $\mathcal{L}\neq \mathcal{L}'$. The following is \cite[Theorem~3.1]{MM6}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm7} Let $\cC$ be a weakly fiat $2$-category in which all two-sided cells are strongly regular. Then, for any left cells $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{L}'$ in $\cC$, we have $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}\cong \mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}'}$ if and only if $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{L}'$ belong to the same two-sided cell in $\cC$. \end{theorem} Cell $2$-representations can be viewed as natural $2$-analogues of semigroups representations associated to left cells, see \cite[Subsection~11.2]{GM}. \subsection{Basic properties of cell $2$-representations}\label{s4.3} Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}\in \cC$-afmod. We will say that $\mathbf{M}$ is {\em transitive} provided that, for any $\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j}\in \cC$ and for any indecomposable $X\in \mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i})$ and $Y\in \mathbf{M}(\mathtt{j})$, there is a $1$-morphism $\mathrm{F}\in\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ such that $Y$ is isomorphic to a summand of $\mathrm{F}\, X$. Directly from the definition of left cells and the construction of cell $2$-representations it follows that each cell $2$-representation is transitive. We will say that $\mathbf{M}$ is {\em simple} provided that $\mathbf{M}$ has no proper $\cC$-stable ideals. Note that every simple $2$-representation is automatically transitive. Directly from construction of cell $2$-representations and Lemma~\ref{lem1} it follows that each cell $2$-representation is simple. So, we have the following claim (see \cite[Section~3]{MM5}): \begin{proposition}\label{prop2} Every cell $2$-representation of a finitary $2$-category is both simple and transitive. \end{proposition} \subsection{Alternative construction of cell $2$-representations for fiat $2$-categories}\label{s4.4} Let $\cC$ be a fiat $2$-category, $\mathcal{L}$ a left cell in $\cC$ and $\mathtt{i}=\mathtt{i}_{\mathcal{L}}$. Consider the principal $2$-representation $\mathbf{P}_{\mathtt{i}}$ and its abelianization $\overline{\mathbf{P}}_{\mathtt{i}}$. For $\mathtt{j}\in\cC$, projective objects in $\overline{\mathbf{P}}_{\mathtt{i}}(\mathtt{j})$ correspond (up to isomorphism) to $1$-morphisms $\mathrm{F}\in\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$ and are denoted $P_{\mathrm{F}}$. The simple top of $P_{\mathrm{F}}$ is denoted $L_{\mathrm{F}}$. In the fiat case, \cite[Section~4]{MM1} provides an alternative construction of cell $2$-representation which is based on the notion of {\em Duflo involution}. The following is \cite[Proposition~17]{MM1}: \begin{proposition}\label{prop3} The left cell $\mathcal{L}$ contains a unique element $\mathrm{G}=\mathrm{G}_{\mathcal{L}}$, called the {\em Duflo involution} in $\mathcal{L}$, such that there is a sub-object $K$ of the projective object $P_{\mathbbm{1}_{\mathtt{i}}}$ satisfying the following conditions: \begin{enumerate}[$($a$)$] \item\label{prop3.1} $\mathrm{F}\, (P_{\mathbbm{1}_{\mathtt{i}}}/K)=0$, for all $\mathrm{F}\in \mathcal{L}$; \item\label{prop3.2} $\mathrm{F}\, \mathrm{top}(K)\neq 0$, for all $\mathrm{F}\in \mathcal{L}$; \item\label{prop3.3} $\mathrm{top}(K)\cong L_{\mathrm{G}}$. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} For $\mathtt{j}\in\cC$, denote by $\mathbf{N}(\mathtt{j})$ the additive closure, in $\overline{\mathbf{P}}_{\mathtt{i}}(\mathtt{j})$, of all elements of the form $\mathrm{F}\, L_{\mathrm{G}}$, where $\mathrm{F}\in\mathcal{L}\cap\cC(\mathtt{i},\mathtt{j})$. The following is \cite[Proposition~22]{MM2}: \begin{proposition}\label{prop4} {\hspace{2mm}} \begin{enumerate}[$($i$)$] \item\label{prop4.1} The assignment $\mathbf{N}$ inherits, by restriction from $\overline{\mathbf{P}}_{\mathtt{i}}$ , the natural structure of a $2$-representation of $\cC$. \item\label{prop4.2} The $2$-representations $\mathbf{N}$ and $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}$ are equivalent. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} The notion of Duflo involution was generalized to some non-fiat $2$-categories in \cite{Zh1}. In \cite[Example~8]{Xa} (see also \cite[Subsection~9.3]{KMMZ}) one finds an example of a fiat $2$-category with a left cell $\mathcal{L}$ such that the corresponding Duflo involution $\mathrm{G}$ satisfies $\mathrm{G}\not\cong\mathrm{G}^{\star}$. \section{Simple transitive $2$-representations}\label{s5} \subsection{Weak Jordan-H{\"o}lder theory}\label{s5.1} In this subsection we overview the weak Jordan-H{\"o}lder theory for additive $2$-representations of finitary $2$-categories developed in \cite[Section~4]{MM5}. Here simple transitive $2$-representations play a crucial role. We start with the following observation which is just a variation of Lemma~\ref{lem1}, see \cite[Lemma~4]{MM5}. \begin{lemma}\label{lem11} Every transitive $2$-representation of a finitary $2$-category has a unique simple transitive quotient. \end{lemma} Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}\in\cC$-afmod. Let $\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbf{M})$ be the (finite!) set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects in \begin{displaymath} \coprod_{\mathtt{i}\in\ccC} \mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i}). \end{displaymath} The {\em action pre-order} $\to_{\ccC}$ on $\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbf{M})$ is defined as follows: $X\to_{\ccC}Y$ provided that $Y$ is isomorphic to a direct summand of $\mathrm{F}\, X$, for some $1$-morphism $\mathrm{F}$ in $\cC$. Consider a filtration \begin{equation}\label{eq2} \varnothing=\mathcal{Q}_0\subsetneq \mathcal{Q}_1\subsetneq \dots \subsetneq \mathcal{Q}_m=\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbf{M}) \end{equation} such that, for each $i=1,2,\dots,m$, \begin{itemize} \item the set $\mathcal{Q}_i\setminus \mathcal{Q}_{i-1}$ is an equivalence class with respect to $\to_{\ccC}$, \item the set $\mathcal{Q}_i$ has the property that, for all $X\in \mathcal{Q}_i$ and $Y\in \mathrm{Ind}(\mathbf{M})$ such that $X\to_{\ccC}Y$, we have $Y\in \mathcal{Q}_i$. \end{itemize} For $i=1,2,\dots,m$ and $\mathtt{j}\in\cC$, let $\mathbf{M}_i(\mathtt{j})$ denote the additive closure in $\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{j})$ of all objects from $\mathcal{Q}_i\cap \mathbf{M}(\mathtt{j})$. Furthermore, we denote by $\mathbf{I}_i(\mathtt{j})$ the ideal of $\mathbf{M}_i(\mathtt{j})$ generated by all objects from $\mathcal{Q}_{i-1}\cap \mathbf{M}(\mathtt{j})$. The assignment $\mathbf{M}_i$ inherits, by restriction from $\mathbf{M}$, the structure of a $2$-representation of $\cC$, moreover, $\mathbf{I}_i$ is a $\cC$-stable ideal in $\mathbf{M}_i$. Hence we have a filtration \begin{displaymath} 0\subset \mathbf{M}_1\subset \mathbf{M}_2\subset \dots\subset \mathbf{M}_m=\mathbf{M} \end{displaymath} of $\mathbf{M}$ by $2$-representations. This is a {\em weak Jordan-H{\"o}lder } series of $\mathbf{M}$. By construction, the $2$-representation $\mathbf{M}_i/\mathbf{I}_i$ is transitive and we can denote by $\mathbf{L}_i$ its unique simple transitive quotient, given by Lemma~\ref{lem11}. For a $2$-representation $\mathbf{N}$, denote by $[\mathbf{N}]$ the equivalence class of $\mathbf{N}$. The multiset $\{[\mathbf{L}_i]\,:\,i=1,2,\dots,m\}$ is then the multiset of {\em weak Jordan-H{\"o}lder subquotients} of $\mathbf{M}$. The following is \cite[Theorem~8]{MM5}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm12} The multiset $\{[\mathbf{L}_i]\,:\,i=1,2,\dots,m\}$ does not depend on the choice of the filtration \eqref{eq2}. \end{theorem} \subsection{How many simple transitive $2$-representations do we have?}\label{s5.2} Theorem~\ref{thm12} motivates the study of simple transitive $2$-representations for finitary $2$-categories. Note that simple $2$-representations are automatically transitive and hence the name is slightly redundant. However, the name {\em simple transitive} has an advantage that it addresses both layers of the representation structure: \begin{itemize} \item transitivity refers to the discrete layer of objects; \item simplicity refers to the $\Bbbk$-linear layer of morphisms. \end{itemize} For an arbitrary finitary $2$-category $\cC$, we thus have a general problem: \begin{problem}\label{prob14} Classify all simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cC$, up to equivalence. \end{problem} Later on we will survey the cases in which this problem is solved, however, for general $\cC$, even for general fiat $\cC$, it is wide open. Of course, one could try to draw parallels with finite dimensional algebras. One very easy fact from the classical representation theory is that every finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra has only a finite number of isomorphism classes of simple modules. The corresponding statement in $2$-representation theory is still open. At the moment this seems to be one of the major challenges in this theory. \begin{question}\label{quest15} Is it true that, for any finitary (fiat) $2$-category $\cC$, the number of equivalence classes of simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cC$ is finite? \end{question} In all cases in which the answer to Problem~\ref{prob14} is known (see below), the number of of equivalence classes of simple transitive $2$-representations is indeed finite. \subsection{Finitary $2$-categories of type I}\label{s5.3} A finitary $2$-category $\cC$ is said to be of {\em type} I provided that every simple transitive $2$-representation of $\cC$ is equivalent to a cell $2$-representations. Thus, for a finitary $2$-category of type I, Problem~\ref{prob14} has a fairly easy answer (modulo comparison of cell $2$-representations with each other). Moreover, for a finitary $2$-category of type I, Question~\ref{quest15} has positive answer. The first example of finitary $2$-categories of type I is provided by \cite[Theorem~18]{MM5} and \cite[Theorem~33]{MM6}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm16} Every weakly fiat $2$-category with strongly regular two-sided cells is of type I. \end{theorem} Here we also note that many results in \cite{MM1}--\cite{MM5} assume that a certain {\em numerical condition} is satisfied. This assumption was rendered superfluous by \cite[Proposition~1]{MM6}. As a special case of Theorem~\ref{thm16}, we have that, the $2$-category $\cC_A$, for a self-injective finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$, see Subsection~\ref{s3.2}, is of type I. Another special case of Theorem~\ref{thm16} is that the $2$-category $\cS_{W}$ of Soergel bimodules in Weyl type $A$ (that is when $W$ is isomorphic to the symmetric group), see Subsection~\ref{s3.5}, is of type I. Furthermore, all finitary quotients of $2$-Kac-moody algebras from Subsection~\ref{s3.7} are of type I, see \cite[Subsection~7.2]{MM5} for details. Simple transitive $2$-representations of the $2$-category $\cC_A$ were also studied for some $A$ which are not self-injective (in this case $\cC_A$ is not weakly fiat). The first result in this direction was the following statement, which is the main result of \cite{MZ1}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm18} For $A=A_2$ or $A_3$ as in Subsection~\ref{s3.3}, the corresponding $2$-category $\cC_A$ is of type I. \end{theorem} Despite of the fact that $A$ as in Theorem~\ref{thm18} is not self-injective, it has a non-zero projective-injective module. The latter plays a crucial role in the arguments. Recently, based on some progress made in \cite{KM2} and \cite{KMMZ}, Theorem~\ref{thm18} was generalized in \cite{MZ2} as follows: \begin{theorem}\label{thm19} Let $A$ be a basic connected $\Bbbk$-algebra which has a non-zero projective-injective module and which is directed in the sense that the Gabriel quiver of the algebra $A$ has neither loops nor oriented cycles. Then the corresponding $2$-category $\cC_A$ is of type I. \end{theorem} When $A$ does not have any non-zero projective-injective module, the approach of \cite{MM5,MZ1,MZ2} fails. Only one special case (the smallest one) was recently completed in \cite[Theorem~6]{MMZ} (partially based on \cite[Subsection~7.1]{MM5}). \begin{theorem}\label{thm20} For $A=\Bbbk[x,y]/(x^2,y^2,xy)$, the corresponding $2$-category $\cC_A$ is of type I. \end{theorem} After all the cases listed above, the following question is rather natural: \begin{question}\label{quest17} Is it true that the $2$-category $\cC_A$ is of type I, for any $A$? \end{question} Apart from the cases listed above, there is a number of other type I examples. The following result in \cite[Theorem~6.1]{Zi}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm21} The $2$-category of Soergel bimodules in Weyl type $B_2$ is of type I. \end{theorem} One interesting difference of the latter case compared to all other cases listed above is the fact that, for the $2$-category of Soergel bimodules in Weyl type $B_2$, there are non-equivalent cell $2$-representations which correspond to left cells inside the same two-sided cell. Let $(W,S)$ be a finite Coxeter system. The corresponding $2$-category $\cS_W$ of Soergel bimodules, see Subsection~\ref{s3.5}, has a unique minimum two-sided cell consisting of the identity $1$-morphism. If we take this minimum two-sided cell away, in what remains there is again a unique minimum two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$. This two-sided cell contains, in particular, all Soergel bimodules of the form $\mathtt{C}\otimes_{\mathtt{C}^s}\mathtt{C}$, where $s\in S$. There is a unique $2$-ideal $\cI$ in $\cS_W$ which is maximal, with respect to inclusions, in the set of all $2$-ideals in $\cS_W$ that do not contain identity $2$-morphisms for $1$-morphisms in $\mathcal{J}$. The quotient $\underline{\cS_W}:=\cS_W/\cJ$ is called the {\em small quotient} of $\cS_W$, see \cite[Subsection~3.2]{KMMZ}. The $2$-category $\underline{\cS_W}$ inherits from $\cS_W$ the structure of a fiat $2$-category. The following result can be found in \cite[Sections~6, 7 and 8]{KMMZ}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm22} {\hspace{2mm}} \begin{enumerate}[$($i$)$] \item\label{thm22.1} If $|S|>2$, then $\underline{\cS_W}$ is of type I. \item\label{thm22.2} If $(W,S)$ is of Coxeter type $I_2(n)$, with $n>4$, then $\underline{\cS_W}$ is of type I if and only if $n$ is odd. \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} \subsection{Finitary $2$-categories that are not of type I}\label{s5.4} First, rather degenerate examples of finitary $2$-categories which are not of type I were constructed already in \cite[Subsection~3.2]{MM5}. They are inspired by transitive group actions. Each finite group structure can be extended to a fiat $2$-category in a fairly obvious way (by adding formal direct sums of elements and linearizing spaces of identity $2$-morphisms). The resulting $2$-category has just one left cell and the corresponding cell $2$-representation is, morally, the left regular representation of the group. However, simple transitive $2$-representations correspond to transitive actions of the original group on sets. The latter are given by action on (left) cosets modulo subgroups. In particular, we get a lot of simple transitive $2$-representations which are not cell $2$-representations. The example, however, feels rather artificial. The first more ``natural'' example was constructed in \cite{MaMa}. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system of type $I_2(n)$, with $n>3$. Consider the small quotient $\underline{\cS_W}$ of the $2$-category of Soergel bimodules. This is a fiat $2$-category with two two-sided cells. The minimum one consists just of the identity $1$-morphisms. The maximum one is not strongly regular. Let $S=\{s,t\}$. Denote by $\cQ_n$ the $2$-full sub-$2$-category of $\underline{\cS_W}$ given by all $1$-morphisms in the additive closure of the identity $1$-morphisms and of all $1$-morphisms $\mathrm{F}$ which lie in the same right cell and in the same left cell as the $1$-morphisms given by $\mathtt{C}\otimes_{\mathtt{C}^s}\mathtt{C}$. The main result of \cite{MaMa} is the following: \begin{theorem}\label{thm23} {\hspace{2mm}} \begin{enumerate}[$($i$)$] \item\label{thm23.1} The $2$-category $\cQ_5$ is of type I. \item\label{thm23.2} The $2$-category $\cQ_4$ is not of type I. In fact, $\cQ_4$ has a unique (up to equivalence) simple transitive $2$-representation which is not equivalent to any of two cell $2$-representations. \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} The major part of \cite{MaMa} is devoted to an explicit construction of this additional simple transitive $2$-representation of $\cQ_4$. The construction is very technical and is based on the following idea: One of the two cell $2$-representations of $\cQ_4$ has an invertible automorphism which swaps the isomorphism classes of the two non-isomorphic indecomposable objects in the underlying category of this $2$-representation. The additional simple transitive $2$-representation is constructed using the orbit category with respect to this non-trivial automorphism. The main issue is that this automorphism is not strict (as homomorphisms between $2$-rep\-re\-sen\-ta\-tions are not strict) and so it requires a lot of technical effort to go around this complication. Based on this construction, the following statement was proved in \cite[Sections~7]{KMMZ}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm24} Let $(W,S)$ be of Coxeter type $I_2(n)$, with $n>4$ even. Then $\underline{\cS_W}$ is not of type I. Moreover, the following holds: \begin{enumerate}[$($i$)$] \item\label{thm24.1} Two of the three cell $2$-representations of $\underline{\cS_W}$ have an invertible automorphism which is not isomorphic to the identity. The orbit construction as in \cite{MaMa} with respect to this automorphism produces a new simple transitive $2$-representation of $\underline{\cS_W}$. \item\label{thm24.2} If $n\neq 12,18,30$, then every simple transitive $2$-representation of $\underline{\cS_W}$ is equivalent to either a cell $2$-representation or one of the $2$-representations constructed in \eqref{thm24.1}. \end{enumerate} \end{theorem} \subsection{Schur's lemma}\label{s5.5} As we saw in the previous subsection, endomorphisms of cell $2$-representations play an important role in this study. This naturally raises the following problem: \begin{problem}\label{quest25} Describe the (properties of the) bicategory of endomorphisms of a simple transitive $2$-representation of a finitary $2$-category. \end{problem} The only known result in this direction is the following statement which is \cite[Theorem~16]{MM3}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm26} Let $\cC$ be a fiat $2$-category, $\mathcal{J}$ a strongly regular two-sided cell in $\cC$ and $\mathcal{L}$ a left cell in $\mathcal{J}$. Then any endomorphism of the cell $2$-representation $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}$ is isomorphic to the direct sum of a number of copies of the identity endomorphism $\mathrm{ID}_{\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}}$. Moreover, the endomorphism space (given by all modifications) of $\mathrm{ID}_{\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}}$ consist just of scalar multiplies of the identity modification. \end{theorem} \subsection{Apex}\label{s5.6} The following is \cite[Lemma~1]{CM}. \begin{lemma}\label{lem31} Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}$ a transitive $2$-representation of $\cC$. There is a unique two sided cell $\mathcal{J}=\mathcal{J}_{\mathbf{M}}$ which is maximal, with respect to the two-sided order, in the set of all two-sided cells that contain $1$-morphisms which are not annihilated by $\mathbf{M}$. The two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$ is idempotent. \end{lemma} The two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$ is called the {\em apex} of $\mathbf{M}$. The general problem of classification of all simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cC$ thus splits naturally into subproblems to classify simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cC$ with a fixed apex $\mathcal{J}$ (which should be an idempotent two-sided cell). Quite often, this simplifies the problem, due to the following result which is proved analogously to \cite[Theorem~18]{MM5}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm31} Let $\cC$ be a weakly fiat $2$-category, $\mathcal{J}$ a strongly regular two-sided cell in $\cC$ and $\mathbf{M}$ a simple transitive $2$-representation of $\cC$ with apex $\mathcal{J}$. Then $\mathbf{M}$ is equivalent to a cell $2$-representation. \end{theorem} \subsection{Connection to integral matrices}\label{s5.7} Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}\in\cC$-afmod. Let $\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbf{M})$ be as in Subsection~\ref{s5.1}. Then, to any $1$-morphism $\mathrm{F}$ in $\cC$, one can associate a matrix $[\mathrm{F}]_{\mathbf{M}}$ whose rows and columns are indexed by elements in $\mathrm{Ind}(\mathbf{M})$ and the intersection of the $X$-row and $Y$-column gives the multiplicity of $X$ as a summand of $\mathrm{F}\, Y$. The following observation is \cite[Lemma~11(ii)]{MM5}. \begin{lemma}\label{lem32} Assume that $\mathbf{M}$ is transitive and that $\mathrm{F}$ contains, as summands, representatives from all isomorphism classes of indecomposable $1$-morphisms in $\cC$. Then all coefficients in $[\mathrm{F}]_{\mathbf{M}}$ are positive. \end{lemma} This observation allows one to use the classical Perron-Frobenius Theorem (see \cite{Pe,Fro1,Fro2}) in the study of simple transitive $2$-representations. This is an important ingredient in the arguments in \cite{MM5,MZ1,Zi,MMZ}. The above observation also provides some evidence for the general positive answer to Question~\ref{quest15}. Indeed, the Grothendieck decategorification of a finitary $2$-category $\cC$ gives a finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra, call it $A$. For each $1$-morphism $\mathrm{F}$ in $\cC$, we thus have the minimal polynomial $g_{\mathrm{F}}(\lambda)$ for the class $[\mathrm{F}]_{\oplus}$ in $A$. Now, if $\mathbf{M}\in\cC$-afmod, then $[\mathbf{M}]_{\oplus}$ gives rise to an $A$-module and hence \begin{displaymath} g_{\mathrm{F}}([\mathrm{F}]_{\mathbf{M}})=0. \end{displaymath} Therefore, if $\mathbf{M}$ is transitive and $\mathrm{F}$ contains, as summands, representatives from all isomorphism classes of indecomposable $1$-morphisms in $\cC$, then, because of Lemma~\ref{lem32} and \cite[Theorem~3.2]{Zi2}, there are only finitely many possibilities for the matrix $[\mathrm{F}]_{\mathbf{M}}$. Consequently, there are only finitely many possibilities for matrices $[\mathrm{G}]_{\mathbf{M}}$, where $\mathrm{G}$ is an indecomposable $1$-morphism in $\cC$. In many papers, for instance, in \cite{MM5,MM6,MZ1,MZ2,Zi}, the classification problem was approached in two steps. The first step addressed classification of all possibilities for matrices $[\mathrm{F}]_{\mathbf{M}}$. The second step studied actual $2$-representations for each solution provided by the first step. In case of the $2$-category $\cC_A$, the first step studied matrices $M$ with positive integer coefficients satisfying $M^2=\dim(A) M$. This is an interesting combinatorial problem which was investigated in detail in \cite{Zi2}. \subsection{Approach using (co)algebra objects}\label{s5.8} The story with the cases $n=12$, $18$, $30$ in Theorem~\ref{thm24}\eqref{thm24.2} was quite interesting. The detailed study of integral matrices, as outlined in Subsection~\ref{s5.7}, suggested in these cases possibility of existence of simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cS_W$ which are neither cell $2$-representations nor the ones constructed in Theorem~\ref{thm24}\eqref{thm24.1}. These $2$-representations were constructed in \cite{MT}, based on \cite{El}, using diagrammatic calculus. Under the additional assumption of gradeability, it was shown that, together with cell $2$-representations and the $2$-representations constructed in Theorem~\ref{thm24}\eqref{thm24.1}, these exhaust all simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cS_W$. Unfortunately, the diagrammatic calculus is not really compatible with our definitions of $2$-categories. This raised a natural problem to reformulate the results of \cite{MT} in some language compatible with our definitions. This was achieved in \cite{MMMT} using ideas of \cite{EGNO} related to the study of algebra and coalgebra objects in $2$-categories. More precisely, the following is \cite[Theorem~9]{MMMT}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm33} Let $\cC$ be a fiat $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}$ a transitive $2$-representations of $\cC$. Then there is a coalgebra object $A$ in the injective abelianization $\underline{\cC}$ of $\cC$ such that $\mathbf{M}$ is equivalent to the $2$-representation of $\cC$ given by the action of $\cC$ on the category of injective right $A$-comodule objects in $\underline{\cC}$. \end{theorem} For cell $2$-representations, the corresponding coalgebra objects turn out to be related to Duflo involutions, see \cite[Subsection~6.3]{MMMT}. Theorem~\ref{thm33} motivates the following general problem: \begin{problem}\label{prob34} Classify all coalgebra objects in $\underline{\cC}$, up to isomorphism. \end{problem} In this general formulation, Problem~\ref{prob34} is certainly more difficult than Problem~\ref{prob14}. However, the very useful side of Theorem~\ref{thm33} is that one can construct simple transitive $2$-representations by guessing the corresponding coalgebra objects (as it was done for the ``exotic'' simple transitive $2$-representations of $\cS_W$ in types $I_2(12)$, $I_2(18)$ and $I_2(30)$ in \cite{MMMT}). \section{Other classes of $2$-representations and related questions}\label{s6} \subsection{Isotypic $2$-representations}\label{s6.1} Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}$ a $2$-rep\-re\-sen\-ta\-tion of $\cC$. We will say that $\mathbf{M}$ is {\em isotypic} provided that all weak Jordan-H{\"o}lder subquotients of $\mathbf{M}$ are equivalent, see \cite[Subsection~4.3.4]{Ro2} and \cite[Subsection~3.6]{MM6}. For any $2$-representation $\mathbf{M}$ of $\cC$ and any finitary $\Bbbk$-linear $2$-category $\mathcal{A}$ one defines the {\em inflation} $\mathbf{M}^{\boxtimes\mathcal{A}}$ of $\mathbf{M}$ by $\mathcal{A}$ as the $2$-representation of $\cC$ which sends each $\mathtt{i}\in \cC$ to the tensor product $\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i})\boxtimes \mathcal{A}$ and defines the action of $\cC$ on the objects and morphisms in these tensor products by acting on the first component, see \cite[Subsection~3.6]{MM6} for details. The following result is \cite[Theorem~4]{MM6}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm37} Let $\cC$ be a weakly fiat $2$-category with a unique maximal two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$. Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a left cell in $\mathcal{J}$. Assume that $\mathcal{J}$ is strongly regular and that any non-zero $2$-ideal of $\cC$ contains the identity $2$-morphism, for some $1$-morphism in $\mathcal{J}$. Then any isotypic faithful $2$-representation of $\cC$ is equivalent to an inflation of the cell $2$-representation $\mathbf{C}_{\mathcal{L}}$. \end{theorem} For finitary quotients of $2$-Kac-Moody algebras, the statement of Theorem~\ref{thm37} can be deduced from \cite[Subsection~4.3.4]{Ro2}. Compared to the general case, the case of $2$-Kac-Moody algebras is substantially simplified by existence of idempotent $1$-morphisms in each two-sided cell. A challenging problem related to isotypic $2$-representation is the following: \begin{problem}\label{thm37} Classify faithful isotypic $2$-representation for an arbitrary weakly fiat $2$-category $\cC$ with unique maximal two-sided cell $\mathcal{J}$ under the assumption that that $\mathcal{J}$ is strongly regular. \end{problem} In the easiest case, this problem will appear in the next subsection. \subsection{All $2$-representations}\label{s6.2} The question of classification of all $2$-representations, for a given finitary $2$-category $\cC$, is open in all non-trivial case. The only {\em trivial} case is the case when the only indecomposable $1$-morphisms in $\cC$ are the identities, up to isomorphism. It is certainly enough to consider the case when $\cC$ has one object, say $\mathtt{i}$. Up to biequivalence, we may also assume that $\mathbb{1}_{\mathtt{i}}$ is the only indecomposable $1$-morphism in $\cC$ (on the nose and not just up to isomorphism). Then, directly from the definition, we have that a $2$-representation of such $\cC$ is given by a pair $(Q,\varphi)$, where $Q$ is a finite dimensional $\Bbbk$-algebra and $\varphi$ is an algebra homomorphism from $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb{1}_{\mathtt{i}})$ to the center of $Q$. Then $\cC$ acts on a small category equivalent to $Q$-proj in the obvious way. Note that all $2$-representations of $\cC$ are isotypic. Furthermore, $\cC$ satisfies the assumptions of Theorem~\ref{thm37} if and only if $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb{1}_{\mathtt{i}})\cong\Bbbk$. The first non-trivial case to consider would be the following: \begin{problem}\label{prop45} Classify, up to equivalence, all finitary additive $2$-representations of $\cC_D$, where $D=\mathbb{C}[x]/(x^2)$. \end{problem} \subsection{Discrete extensions between $2$-representations}\label{s6.3} A major challenge in $2$-representation theory is the following: \begin{problem}\label{prob46} Develop a sensible homological theory for the study of $2$-rep\-re\-sen\-ta\-tions. \end{problem} A fairly naive attempt to define some analogue of $\mathrm{Ext}^1$ for $2$-representations was made in \cite{CM}. Let $\cC$ be a finitary $2$-category and $\mathbf{M}\in\cC$-afmod. For each $\mathtt{i}\in\cC$, choose a full, additive, idempotents split and isomorphism closed subcategory $\mathbf{K}(\mathtt{i})$ of $\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i})$ such that $\mathbf{K}$ becomes a sub-$2$-representation of $\cC$ by restriction. Let $\mathbf{I}$ be the ideal of $\mathbf{M}$ generated by $\mathbf{K}$ and $\mathbf{N}:=\mathbf{M}/\mathbf{I}$. Then the sequence \begin{equation}\label{eq3} 0\to \mathbf{K}\overset{\Phi}{\longrightarrow}\mathbf{M}\overset{\Psi}{\longrightarrow}\mathbf{N}\to 0, \end{equation} where $\Phi$ is the natural inclusion and $\Psi$ is the natural projection, will be called a {\em short exact sequence} of $2$-representations of $\cC$. The {\em discrete extension} $\Theta$ {\em realized} by \eqref{eq3} is the subset of $\mathcal{S}[\cC]$ that consists of all classes $[\mathrm{F}]$ for which there exist an indecomposable object $X$ in some $\mathbf{M}(\mathtt{i})\setminus \mathbf{K}(\mathtt{i})$ and an indecomposable object $Y$ in some $\mathbf{K}(\mathtt{j})$ such that $Y$ is isomorphic to a summand of $\mathrm{F}\, X$. For $\mathbf{K}',\mathbf{N}'\in\cC$-afmod, the set $\mathrm{Dext}(\mathbf{N}',\mathbf{K}')$ of {\em discrete extensions} from $\mathbf{N}'$ to $\mathbf{K}'$ consists of all possible $\Theta$ which are realized by some short exact sequence \eqref{eq3} with $\mathbf{K}$ equivalent to $\mathbf{K}'$ and $\mathbf{N}$ equivalent to $\mathbf{N}'$. In many case, a very useful piece of information is to know whether $\mathrm{Dext}(\mathbf{N},\mathbf{K})$ is empty (i.e. the first discrete extension {\em vanishes}) or not. In a number of cases, one could also either explicitly describe all elements in $\mathrm{Dext}(\mathbf{N},\mathbf{K})$ or at least give a reasonable estimate of how they look like. Vanishing of discrete extensions between certain simple transitive $2$-representations appears in a disguised form and is an essential part of the arguments in \cite{MM5,MM6}. The following is \cite[Theorem~25]{CM}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm47} Let $\cC$ be a weakly fiat $2$-category, $\mathbf{K}$ a transitive $2$-representation of $\cC$ with apex $\mathcal{J}_{\mathbf{K}}$, and $\mathbf{N}$ a transitive $2$-representation of $\cC$ with apex $\mathcal{J}_{\mathbf{N}}$. Assume that, for any left cell $\mathcal{L}$ in $\mathcal{J}_{\mathbf{N}}$, there exists a left cell $\mathcal{L}'$ in $\mathcal{J}_{\mathbf{K}}$ such that $\mathcal{L}\geq_L\mathcal{L}'$. Then $\mathrm{Dext}(\mathbf{N},\mathbf{K})=\varnothing$. \end{theorem} As a consequence of Theorem~\ref{thm47}, all discrete self-extensions for transitive $2$-rep\-re\-sen\-ta\-tions of weakly fiat $2$-categories vanish. The results in \cite[Subsection~7.2]{CM} suggest that the answer to Question~\ref{quest48} might be interesting and is not obvious. \begin{question}\label{quest48} What is $\mathrm{Dext}(\mathbf{N},\mathbf{K})$, for any pair $(\mathbf{N},\mathbf{K})$ of simple transitive $2$-representations of the $2$-category $\cS_W$ of Soergel bimodules in Weyl type $A$? \end{question} \subsection{Applications}\label{s6.4} The first, rather spectacular, application of classification of certain classes of $2$-representations appears in \cite{CR}. More precisely, \cite[Proposition~5.26]{CR} classifies, up to equivalence, all $2$-representations of the $2$-Kac-Moody version of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ which satisfy a number of natural assumptions. This is an essential ingredient in the proof of derived equivalence for certain blocks of the symmetric group, see \cite[Theorem~7.6]{CR}. Similar ideology was used, in particular, to describe blocks of Lie superalgebras, see, for example, \cite{BS,BLW} and references therein. In \cite{KM1}, classification of simple transitive $2$-representation for the $2$-category of Soergel bimodules in type $A$ (cf. Theorem~\ref{thm16}) was used to classify indecomposable projective functors on the principal block of BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$.

TITLE: How can I prove the countability of a set which is an union of the set itself and it cartesian product with itself? QUESTION [0 upvotes]: Assume we need to prove the countability of $(\Bbb{N}\times\Bbb{N}) \cup \Bbb{N}$ As far as I know, $\Bbb{N}\times\Bbb{N}$ will result in pairs such as $\langle\,1,1\,\rangle$ for all possible $\Bbb{N}$. The resulting set of the union, would then contains all possible $\Bbb{N}$ values plus all the pairs. To prove the countability of the sets, I usually draw in extension mode a bijective function, and then I can assume that it is countable as the cardinality are the same. The problem here is that I have no idea how to map to a set which has pairs and singleton - is that even possible ? Any hint ? REPLY [2 votes]: Guide: Prove that $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ is countable. Prove that union of countable set is countable. Remark: $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ is known as the cartesian product rather than the power set.

\section{Proof of cut elmination and the Church-Rosser property} \label{sec-proof-ce} In this appendix we show that the cut elimination procedure terminates and that the rewrite system induced by the cut elimination rewrites and the communting conversion has the Church-Rosser property. We begin by proving that cut elimination is a terminating procedure. \begin{remark}[Generalized rewrites] \label{remark-genre} The number of rewritings in our system motivates the use of a ``generalized'' system of rewritings which help to reduce this number. Let $\alpha(f)$ denote any of the morphims \[\alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i\}_i, \qquad \alpha[a]f, \qquad \alpha\<(\alpha_i) \mapsto f\>, \qquad \alpha\<\alpha_i \mid \Lambda_i \mapsto f_i\>_i \] Then $\alpha(f);_\gamma g \Lra \alpha(f ;_\gamma g)$ will be used respectively to denote: \[\begin{array}{rcl} \alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i\}_i ;_\gamma g &\xymatrix{\ar@{=>}[r]^{(3)}&}& \alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i ;_\gamma g\}_i \medskip\\ \alpha[a]f ;_\gamma g &\xymatrix{\ar@{=>}[r]^{(5)}&}& \alpha[a](f ;_\gamma g) \medskip\\ \alpha\<(\alpha_i) \mapsto f\> ;_\gamma g &\xymatrix{\ar@{=>}[r]^{(7)}&}& \alpha\<(\alpha_i) \mapsto f;_\gamma g\> \smallskip\\ \alpha\<\alpha_i \mid \Lambda_i \mapsto f_i\>_i ;_\gamma g &\xymatrix{\ar@{=>}[r]^{(9)}&}& \alpha\left\<\begin{array}{l} \alpha_i \mid \Lambda_i \mapsto f_i \\ \alpha_k \mid \Lambda_k \cup \Lambda(g) \setminus \{\gamma\} \mapsto f_k ;_\gamma g \end{array}\right\>_{i \neq k} \end{array} \] Dually $\xymatrix@1{g ;_\gamma \alpha(f) \ar@{=>}[r] & \alpha(g;_\gamma f)}$ will denote any of the rewrites (4), (6), (7), or (10). The rewrites (11) and (13) (and their duals) may be represented as $\xymatrix@1{\gamma(f) ;_\gamma \gamma(g) \ar@{=>}[r] & f ;_\gamma g}$ and the permuting conversions (15) through (24) may be represented as $\xymatrix@1{\alpha(\beta(f)) \ar@{|=|}[r] & \beta(\alpha(f))}$. \end{remark} \subsection{The cut measure on terms} The purpose of this section is to show that the cut elimination procedure terminates. To this end we define a bag of cut heights and show that the bag is strictly reduced on each of the cut elmination rewrites. We begin by defining the multiset ordering of Dershowitz and Manna~\cite{dershowitz79:proving}. Let $(S,\succ)$ be a partially-ordered set, and let $\script{M}(S)$ denote the multisets (or bags) over $S$. For $M,N \in \script{M}(S)$, $M > N$ (``$>$'' is called the \textbf{multiset} (or \textbf{bag}) \textbf{ordering}), if there are multisets $X,Y \in \script{M}(S)$, where $\emptyset \neq X \subseteq M$, such that \[N = (M \bs X) \cup Y \quad \text{and} \quad (\forall y \in Y) (\exists x \in X)\ x \succ y \] where $\cup$ here is the multiset union. For example, \[[3] > [2,2,2,1], \quad [7,3] > [7], \quad [5,2] > [5,1] \] Recall from~\cite{dershowitz79:proving} that if $(S,\succ)$ is a total order (linear order) then $\script{M}(S)$ is a total order. To see this consider $M,N \in \script{M}(S)$. To determine whether $M > N$ sort the elements of both $M$ and $N$ and then compare the two sorted sequences lexicograpically. We now define the \textbf{height} of a term as: \begin{itemize} \item $\hgt[a] = 1$ when $a$ is an atomic map (or an identity) \item $\hgt[\alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i\}_{i \in I}] = 1+ \max\{\hgt[f_i] \mid i \in I\}$ \item $\hgt[\alpha[a_k] \cdot f] = 1+\hgt[f]$ \item $\hgt[\alpha\<(\alpha_i)_{i \in I} \mapsto f\>] = 1 + \hgt[f]$ \item $\hgt[\alpha\<\alpha_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_{i \in I}] = 1 + \sum_{i \in I} \hgt[f_i]$ \item $\hgt[f ; g] = \hgt[f] + \hgt[g]$ \end{itemize} The \textbf{height of a cut} is defined simply as its height, e.g., $\cuthgt[f;g] = \hgt[f;g]$. Define a function $\Lambda:T \ra \bag(\mathbb{N})$ which takes a term to its bag of cut heights. \begin{proposition} \quad \begin{enumerate}[{\upshape (i)}] \item If $\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{=>}[r]& t_2}$ then $\Lambda(t_1) > \Lambda(t_2)$. \item If $\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{|=|}[r]^{(a)}& t_2}$ and $(a)$ is an interchange which does not involve the nullary cotuple or tuple then $\Lambda(t_1) = \Lambda(t_2)$. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} We begin with the proof of part (i). There are three properties that must be shown: $\hgt[t_1] \geq \hgt[t_2]$, the height of each non-principal cut does not increase, and the height of any cut produced from the principal cut is strictly less than the height of the principal cut. A simple examination of the rewrites will confirm that if $t_1 \Lra t_2$ then $\hgt[t_1] \geq \hgt[t_2]$: \begin{equation*} \tag*{(1), dually (2)} \hgt[f;1] = \hgt[f] + \hgt[1] > \hgt[f] \end{equation*} \begin{align*} \tag*{(3), dually (4)} \hgt[\alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i\}_{i \in I} ;_\gamma g] &= \hgt[\alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i\}_{i \in I}] + \hgt[g] \\ &= 1+ \max\{\hgt[f_i] \mid i \in I\} + \hgt[g] \\ &= 1+ \max\{\hgt[f_i] + \hgt[g] \mid i \in I\} \\ &= \hgt[\alpha\{a_i \mapsto f_i ;_\gamma g\}_{i \in I}] \end{align*} If $I = \emptyset$ then \[\hgt[\alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g] = \hgt[\alpha\{\,\}] + \hgt[g] > \hgt[\alpha\{\,\}] \] \begin{align*} \tag*{(5), dually (6)} \hgt[\alpha[a_k]f ;_\gamma g] &= \hgt[\alpha[a_k]f]+\hgt[g] \\ &= 1+ \hgt[f] + \hgt[g] \\ &= \hgt[\alpha[a_k](f ;_\gamma g)] \end{align*} \begin{align*} \tag*{(7), dually (8)} \hgt[\alpha\<(\alpha_i)_{i \in I} \mapsto f\> ;_\gamma g] &= \hgt[\alpha\<(\alpha_i)_{i \in I} \mapsto f\> +\hgt[g] \\ &= 1 + \hgt[f] + \hgt[g] \\ &= \hgt[\alpha\<(\alpha_i)_{i \in I} \mapsto f ;_\gamma g\> \end{align*} \begin{align*} \tag*{(9), dually (10)} \hgt[\alpha\<\alpha_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_{i \in I} ;_\gamma g] &= \hgt[\alpha\<\alpha_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_{i \in I}]+\hgt[g]\\ &= 1 + \sum_{k \neq i \in I} \hgt[f_i] + \hgt[f_k] + \hgt[g] \\ &= \hgt\left[\alpha\left\<\begin{array}{l} \alpha_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i \\ \alpha_k \mid \Omega_k \mapsto f_k ;_\gamma g \end{array} \right\>_{k \neq i \in I}\right] \end{align*} \begin{align*} \tag*{(11), dually (12)} \hgt[\gamma[a_k]f ;_\gamma \gamma\{a_i \mapsto g_i\}_{i \in I}] &= \hgt[\gamma[a_k]f] + \hgt[\gamma\{a_i \mapsto g_i\}_{i \in I}] \\ &= 1+ \hgt[f] + 1 + \max\{\hgt[g_i] \mid i \in I\} \\ &> \hgt[f] + \max\{\hgt[g_i] \mid i \in I\} \\ &\geq \hgt[f] + \hgt[g_k] \\ &= \hgt[f ;_\gamma g_k] \end{align*} \begin{align*} \tag*{(13), dually (14)} \hgt[\gamma\<\alpha_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_i ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\alpha_i)_i \mapsto g\>] &= \hgt[\gamma\<\alpha_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_i] + \hgt[\alpha\<(\alpha_i)_i \mapsto g\>] \\ &= 1 + \sum_i \hgt[f_i] + 1 + \hgt[g] \\ &> \sum_i \hgt[f_i] + \hgt[g] \\ &= \hgt\left[f_n ;_{\alpha_n} ( \cdots (f_2 ;_{\alpha_2} (f_1 ;_{\alpha_1} g)) \cdots)\right] \end{align*} If $I = \emptyset$ then \begin{align*} \hgt[\gamma\<\,\>_i ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\,) \mapsto g\>] &= \hgt[\gamma\<\,\>_i] + \hgt[\gamma\<(\,) \mapsto g\>] \\ &= 1+1+\hgt[g] \\ &> \hgt[g] \end{align*} Moreover, this implies that cuts below and cuts above the redex will not increase their cut height on a rewriting. Finally, consider the principal cut of the reduction. Rewrite (1) (dually (2)) removes a cut and so strictly reduces the bag of cut heights. It is an easy observation that (5), (7), (9), and (11) (and their duals) each replace a cut with one of lesser height, and that (3) and (13) (and their duals) replace a cut with zero or more cuts of lesser height. Thus applying any of the rewrites strictly reduces the bag. We now prove part (ii). For the equations (15), (16), (17), and (18) we assume that the index sets are non-empty. This then implies that the commuting conversions are all of the form $\alpha(\beta(f))$ and thus \[\hgt[\alpha(\beta(f))] = 1 + \hgt[\beta(f)] = 1 + 1+ \hgt[f] = \hgt[\beta(\alpha(f))] \] which proves that the height does not change across these (non-empty (co)tuple) interchanges. \end{proof} To see that the height is not invariant across the emtpy cotuple (dually the tuple) rule recall one of the nullary versions of the rewrite (15): \[\alpha\{\,\} \pc \beta\{b_j \mapsto \alpha\{\,\}\}_j \] The height on the left-hand side is one, while on the right-hand side the height is two. \subsection{Proof of the Church-Rosser property} \label{sec-church-rosser} In this section we present a proof of the Church-Rosser property for morphisms. We wish to show that given any two morphisms related by a series of reductions and permuting conversions \[\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{<=}[r] & t_2 \ar@{|=|}[r] & t_3 \ar@{=>}[r] & \quad \cdots \quad & \ar@{=>}[l] t_{n-2} \ar@{|=|}[r] & t_{n-1} \ar@{=>}[r] & t_n} \] there is an alternative way of arranging the reductions and permuting conversions so that $t_1$ and $t_n$ can be reduced to terms which are related by the permuting conversions alone. That is, we wish to show that there is a convergence of the following form: \[\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{=>}[dr]_{*} & && & t_n \ar@{=>}[dl]^{*} \\ & t_1' \ar@{|=|}[rr]_{*} && t_n'} \] When the rewriting system terminates (in the appropriate sense) this allows the decision procedure for the equality of $\Sigma\Pi$-terms to be reduced to the decision procedure for the permuting conversions (see Section~\ref{sec-dp}). In order to test the equality of two terms, one can rewrite both terms into a reduced form (one from which there are no further reductions), and these will be equal if and only if the two reduced forms are equivalent through the permuting conversions alone. In the current situation the reduction process is, of course, the cut-elimination procedure. Following~\cite{cockett01:finite} we say a rewrite system is \textbf{locally confluent modulo equations} if any (one step) divergence of the following form \[\vcenter{\xymatrix{& t_0 \ar@{=>}[dl] \ar@{=>}[dr] \\ t_1 && t_2}} \qquad \text{or} \qquad \vcenter{\xymatrix{& t_0 \ar@{=>}[dl] \ar@{|=|}[dr] \\ t_1 && t_2}} \] (where ``$\xymatrix@1{\ar@{=>}[r]&}$'' denotes a reduction and ``$\xymatrix@1{t_1 \ar@{|=|}[r]& t_2}$'' an equation) has a convergence, respectively, of the form \[ \vcenter{\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{|=>}[dr]_{*} && t_2 \ar@{|=>}[dl]^{*} \\ & t'}} \qquad \text{and} \qquad \vcenter{\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{|=>}[ddr]_{*} && t_2 \ar@{=>}[d] \\ && t_2' \ar@{|=>}[dl]^{*} \\ & t'}} \] where the new arrow ``$\xymatrix@1{\ar@{|=>}[r]&}$'' indicates either an equality or a reduction in the indicated direction. This gives: \begin{proposition} \label{prop-conf} Suppose $(N,\mathcal{R},\mathcal{E})$ is a rewriting system with the equations equipped with a well-ordered measure on the rewrite arrows such that the measure of the divergences is strictly greater than the measure of the convergences then the system is confluent modulo equations if and only if it is locally confluent modulo equations. \end{proposition} \begin{proof} If the system is confluent modulo equations it is certainly locally confluent modulo equations. Conversely suppose we have a chain of reductions, equations, and expansions. We may associate with it the bag of measures of the arrows of the sequence. The idea will be to show that replacing any local divergence in this chain by a local confluence will result in a new chain whose bag measure is strictly smaller. However, this can be seen by inspection as we are removing the arrows associated with the divergence and replacing them with the arrows associated with the convergence. The measure on the arrows associated with the divergence is strictly greater then that of the measure on the arrows associated with the convergence. Thus, each rewriting reduces the measure and, therefore, any sequence of rewriting on such a chain must terminate. However, it can only terminate when there are no local divergences to resolve. This then implies that the end result must be a confluence modulo equations. \end{proof} \subsubsection{Resolving critical pairs locally} The proof of Church-Rosser involves examining all the possible critical pairs involving reductions or reductions and conversions, and showing that they are all of the form shown above and that they may be resolved in the way shown above. It then must be shown that there is some measure on the arrows which decreases when replacing a divergence with a convergences. This will then suffice to show that our system is locally confluent modulo equations, so that by Proposition~\ref{prop-conf}, it is confluent modulo equations. The rewrites (1)-(12) are the ``reductions'' and the commuting conversions (13)-(24) are the ``equations''. The resolutions of the critical pairs will be presented using the ``generalized'' rewrites (see Remark~\ref{remark-genre}). For the additive rewrites see~\cite{pastro:msc} where they have been written out in detail. The reductions are as follows. Note that these reductions assume that all index sets are non-empty. The reductions when the index set is empty are handled separately below. \begin{description} \item[Reduction diagram 0:] $\xymatrix{1;1 \ar@{=>}[r]_{(2)}^{(1)} & 1}$ \item[Reduction diagram 1:] Substitute (3), (5), (7), or (9) for $(a)$ to get the reduction diagrams for (1)-(3), (1)-(5), (1)-(7), and (1)-(9). \[\xymatrix@R=5ex@C=7ex{ & \alpha(f) ;_\gamma 1 \ar@{=>}[dl]_-{(1)} \ar@{=>}[dr]^-{(a)} \\ \alpha(f) && \alpha(f ;_\gamma 1) \ar@{=>}[ll]^-{\alpha\{(1)\}} } \] Substituting the dual rewrites in the mirror image of the diagram above give the dual reduction diagrams. \item[Reduction diagram 2:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair ($a$)-($b$). \[\begin{array}{c|c|c} a & b & c \\ \hline 3 & 4 & 15 \\ 3 & 6 & 16 \\ 3 & 8 & 17 \\ 3 & 10 & 18 \\ 5 & 6 & 19 \\ 5 & 8 & 20 \\ 5 & 10 & 21 \\ 7 & 8 & 22 \\ 7 & 10 & 23 \\ 9 & 10 & 24 \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=20ex@R=10ex@!0{ & \alpha(f) ;_\gamma \beta(g) \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(a)} \ar@{=>}[dr]^{(b)} \\ \alpha(f ;_\gamma \beta(g)) \ar@{=>}[d]_{\alpha((b))} && \beta(\alpha(f) ;_\gamma g) \ar@{=>}[d]^{\beta((a))} \\ \alpha(\beta(f ;_\gamma g)) \ar@{|=|}[rr]_{(c)} && \beta(\alpha(f ;_\gamma g))}} \] \item[Reduction diagram 3:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair ($a$)-($b$). \[\begin{array}{c|c|c} a & b & c \\ \hline 3 & 15 & 3 \\ 3 & 16 & 5 \\ 3 & 17 & 7 \\ 3 & 18 & 9 \\ 5 & 16 & 3 \\ 5 & 19 & 5 \\ 5 & 20 & 7 \\ 5 & 21 & 9 \\ \end{array} \quad \begin{array}{c|c|c} a & b & c \\ \hline 7 & 17 & 3 \\ 7 & 20 & 5 \\ 7 & 22 & 7 \\ 7 & 23 & 9 \\ 9 & 18 & 3 \\ 9 & 21 & 5 \\ 9 & 23 & 7 \\ 9 & 24 & 9 \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=20ex@R=10ex@!0{ & \alpha(\beta(f)) ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(a)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^{(b);1} \\ \alpha(\beta(f) ;_\gamma g) \ar@{=>}[dd]_{\alpha((c))} && \beta(\alpha(f)) ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[d]^{(c)} \\ && \beta(\alpha(f) ;_\gamma g) \ar@{=>}[d]^{\beta((a))} \\ \alpha(\beta(f ;_\gamma g)) \ar@{|=|}[rr]_{(d)} && \beta(\alpha(f ;_\gamma g))}} \] \item[Reduction diagram 4:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair ($a$)-($b$). \[\begin{array}{c|c|c|c} a & b & c & d\\ \hline 3 & w & 4 & 15 \\ 3 & w & 6 & 16 \\ 3 & w & 8 & 17 \\ 3 & w & 10 & 18 \\ 5 & x & 4 & 16 \\ 5 & x & 6 & 19 \\ 5 & x & 8 & 20\\ 5 & x & 10 & 21 \end{array} \quad \begin{array}{c|c|c|c} a & b & c & d \\ \hline 7 & y & 4 & 17 \\ 7 & y & 6 & 20 \\ 7 & y & 8 & 22 \\ 7 & y & 10 & 23 \\ 9 & z & 4 & 18 \\ 9 & z & 6 & 21 \\ 9 & z & 8 & 23 \\ 9 & z & 10 & 24 \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=20ex@R=10ex@!0{ & \alpha(\gamma(f)) ;_\gamma \beta(g) \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(a)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^{(b);1} \\ \alpha(\gamma(f) ;_\gamma \beta(g)) \ar@{=>}[ddd]_{\alpha((c))} && \gamma(\alpha(f)) ;_\gamma \beta(g) \ar@{=>}[d]^{(c)} \\ && \beta(\gamma(\alpha(f)) ;_\gamma g) \ar@{|=|}[d]^{\beta((b);1)} \\ && \beta(\alpha(\gamma(f)) ;_\gamma g) \ar@{=>}[d]^{\beta((a))} \\ \alpha(\beta(\gamma(f) ;_\gamma g)) \ar@{|=|}[rr]_{(d)} && \beta(\alpha(\gamma(f) ;_\gamma g))}} \] where $w \in \{15, 16, 17, 18\}$, $x \in \{16, 19, 20, 21\}$, $y \in \{17,20,22,23\}$, and $z \in \{18,21,23,24\}$.

This may be a good time for a concrete example. Suppose $(a,b,c,c') = (13,21,5,(5^+,6^*))$, $i \in \{1,\ldots,n\}$, and $\alpha \in \Omega_k$. The reduction diagram for this case is: \[\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=27ex@R=12ex@!0{ & {\gamma\left\<\begin{array}{l} \gamma_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i \\ \gamma_k \mid \Omega_k \mapsto \alpha[a]f_k \end{array}\right\>_{i \neq k} ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\gamma_i)_i \mapsto g\>} \ar@{=>}[dl]_-{(13)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^-{(21);1} \\ f_n ;_{\gamma_n} (\cdots (\alpha[a]f_k ;_{\gamma_k} (\cdots (f_1 ;_\gamma g)\cdots))\cdots) \ar@{=>}[d]_{(5)} && \alpha[a]\gamma\<\gamma_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_i ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\gamma_i)_i \mapsto g\> \ar@{=>}[dd]^{(5)} \\ f_n ;_{\gamma_n} (\cdots (\alpha[a](f_k ;_{\gamma_k} (\cdots (f_1 ;_\gamma g)\cdots)))\cdots) \ar@{=>}[d]_{(6)^*} \\ \alpha[a](f_n ;_{\gamma_n} (\cdots (f_k ;_{\gamma_k} (\cdots (f_1 ;_\gamma g)\cdots)))\cdots) && \alpha[a](\gamma\<\gamma_i \mid \Omega_i \mapsto f_i\>_i ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\gamma_i)_i \mapsto g\>) \ar@{=>}[ll]^-{\alpha((13))}} \] \item[Reduction diagram 6:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair ($a$)-($b$). \[\begin{array}{c|c|c|c} a & b & c & c' \\ \hline 11 & 15 & 4 & 4 \\ 11 & 16 & 6 & 4 \\ 11 & 17 & 8 & 8 \\ 11 & 18 & 10 & 10 \\ 13 & 17 & 4 & 4^+,3^* \\ 13 & 20 & 6 & 6^+,5^* \\ 13 & 22 & 8 & 8^+,7^* \\ 13 & 23 & 10 & 10^+,9^* \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=20ex@R=10ex@!0{ & \gamma(f) ;_\gamma \gamma(\beta(g)) \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(a)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^{1;(b)} \\ f ;_\gamma \beta(g) \ar@{=>}[d]_{(c')} && \gamma(f) ;_\gamma \beta(\gamma(g)) \ar@{=>}[d]^{(c)} \\ \beta(f ;_\gamma g) && \beta(\gamma(f) ;_\gamma \gamma(g)) \ar@{=>}[ll]^-{\beta((a))}}} \] where $x^+,y^*$ means zero or one application of the rewrite ($x$) and zero or more applications of the rewrite ($y$). \end{description} We now explore the cases when the index sets may be empty. For the empty ltensor (dually rpar) rule the rewrites fit the cases above. The cases for the empty cotuple (dually tuple) and rtensor (dually lpar) however do not. We start by first examing what happens to the reduction diagrams for the case of the empty cotuple (dually tuple). \begin{description} \item[Reduction diagram 1:] $\xymatrix{\alpha\{\,\};1 \ar@{=>}[r]_{(3)}^{(1)} & \alpha\{\,\}}$ \item[Reduction diagram 2:] there are two (non-dual) cases corresponding to only $I = \emptyset$ and both $I = J = \emptyset$.

If both $\alpha$ and $\beta$ have empty index sets: \[\xymatrix@R=4ex@C=5ex{ & \alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma \beta\{\,\} \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(3)} \ar@{=>}[dr]^{(4)} \\ \alpha\{\,\} \ar@{|=|}[rr]_-{(15)} && \beta\{\,\}} \] \item[Reduction diagram 3:] there are three cases. The first we describe is when both $I = J = \emptyset$. The resolution is as follows: \[\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=12ex@R=9ex@!0{ & \alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(3)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^{(15)} \\ \alpha\{\,\} \ar@{|=|}[dr]_-{(15)} && \beta\{\,\} ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[dl]^{(3)} \\ & \beta\{\,\}} \] The two remaining cases corresponding to whether the apex (of the reduction diagram) starts with $\alpha\{\,\}$ or with $\beta(\alpha\{\,\})$. Each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair (3)-($b$) in the reduction diagram on the left and ($a$)-($b$) in the reduction diagram on the right. \[\vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=12ex@R=9ex@!0{ & \alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(3)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^{(b);1} \\ \alpha\{\,\} \ar@{|=|}[d]_{(a)} && \beta(\alpha\{\,\}) ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[d]^{(a)} \\ \beta(\alpha\{\,\}) && \beta(\alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g) \ar@{=>}[ll]^{\beta((3))}}} \qqqquad \begin{array}{c|c} a & b \\ \hline 3 & 15 \\ 5 & 16 \\ 7 & 17 \\ 9 & 18 \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=12ex@R=9ex@!0{ & \beta(\alpha\{\,\}) ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[dl]_{(a)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^{(b);1} \\ \beta(\alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g) \ar@{=>}[d]_{\beta((3))} && \alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[d]^{(3)} \\ \beta(\alpha\{\,\}) && \alpha\{\,\} \ar@{|=|}[ll]^{(b)}}} \] \item[Reduction diagram 4:] The channel $\alpha$ is non-empty and if channel $\gamma$ is empty the reduction diagram is identical. \item[Reduction diagram 5:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair ($a$)-($b$). \[\begin{array}{c|c|c} a & b & c \\ \hline 11 & 16 & 3 \\ 13 & 18 & 3^+,4^* \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=11ex@R=8ex@!0{ & \gamma(\alpha\{\,\}) ;_\gamma \gamma(g) \ar@{=>}[dl]_-{(a)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^-{(b);1} \\ \alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma g \ar@{=>}[dr]_-{(c)} && \alpha\{\,\} ;_\gamma \gamma(g) \ar@{=>}[dl]^-{(3)} \\ & \alpha\{\,\}}} \] where $3^+,4^*$ means zero or one application of the rewrite (3) and zero or more applications of the rewrite (4). \item[Reduction diagram 6:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair ($a$)-($b$). \[\begin{array}{c|c|c} a & b & c \\ \hline 11 & 15 & 4 \\ 13 & 17 & 4^* \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=11ex@R=8ex@!0{ & \gamma(f) ;_\gamma \gamma(\beta\{\,\}) \ar@{=>}[dl]_-{(a)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^-{1;(b)} \\ f ;_\gamma \beta\{\,\} \ar@{=>}[dr]_-{(c)} && \gamma(f) ;_\gamma \beta\{\,\} \ar@{=>}[dl]^-{(3)} \\ & \beta\{\,\}}} \] where $4^*$ means zero or more applications of the rewrite (4). \end{description} We now examing what happens to the reduction diagrams for the case of the empty rtensor (dually lpar). Due to the typing constraints the only reduction diagrams that need be considered are 1 and 6. \begin{description} \item[Reduction diagram 1:] $\xymatrix{\alpha\<\,\>;1 \ar@{=>}[r]_{(13)}^{(1)} & \alpha\<\,\>}$ \item[Reduction diagram 6:] each row in the table corresponds to the resolution of the critical pair (13)-($a$). \[\begin{array}{c|c} a & b \\ \hline 17 & 4 \\ 20 & 6 \\ 22 & 8 \\ 23 & 10 \end{array} \qqqquad \vcenter{\xymatrix@M=1ex@C=11ex@R=8ex@!0{ & \gamma\<\,\> ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\,) \mapsto \beta(g)\> \ar@{=>}[dl]_-{(13)} \ar@{|=|}[dr]^-{1;(a)} \\ \beta(g) && \gamma\<\,\> ;_\gamma \beta(\gamma\<(\,) \mapsto g\>) \ar@{=>}[dl]^-{(b)} \\ & \beta(\gamma\<\,\> ;_\gamma \gamma\<(\,) \mapsto g\>) \ar@{=>}[ul]^-{\delta(13)}}} \] \end{description} \subsubsection{The measure on the rewriting arrows} We define a measure $\lambda:A \ra \bag(\mathbb{N})$ on the rewriting arrows as follows: \begin{itemize} \item if $\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{=>}[r]^x & t_2}$ then $\lambda(x) = \min\{\Lambda(t_1),\ \Lambda(t_2)\}$ \item if $\xymatrix{t_1 \ar@{|=|}[r]^x & t_2}$ then $\lambda(x) = \max\{\Lambda(t_1),\ \Lambda(t_2)\}$ \end{itemize} where $\Lambda(t)$ is the bag of cut heights of $t$. A quick examination of the reduction diagrams now confirms that this measure will decrease when we replace a divergence with a convergence. This completes the proof of the proposition: \begin{proposition} $\channel(\cat{A})$ under the rewrites (1)-(14) is confluent modulo the equations (15)-(24). \end{proposition}

Given an integer $k\ge2$, define a sequence $\set{X_n}_{n=1}^\infty$ of approximately linear recursions with small perturbations $\set{\Delta_n}_{n=0}^\infty$ by \[ X_{n+1} = \sum_{i=1}^k a_{n,i} X_{n,i} + \Delta_n \quad \text{for all } n\ge0 \] where $X_{n,1},\dots,X_{n,k}$ are independent copies of the $X_n$ and $a_{n,1},\dots,a_{n,k}$ are real numbers. In 2004, Goldstein obtained bounds on the Wasserstein distance between the standard normal distribution and the law of $X_n$ which is in the form $C \gamma^n$ for some constants $C>0$ and $0 < \gamma < 1$. In this article, we extend the results to the case of two effects by studying a linear model $Z_n=X_n+Y_n$ for all $n\ge0$, where $\set{Y_n}_{n=1}^\infty$ is a sequence of approximately linear recursions with an initial random variable $Y_0$ and perturbations $\set{\Lambda_n}_{n=0}^\infty$, i.e., for some $\ell \ge2$, \[ Y_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^\ell b_{n,j} Y_{n,j} + \Lambda_n \quad \text{for all } n\ge0 \] where $Y_n$ and $Y_{n,1},\dots,Y_{n,\ell}$ are independent and identically distributed random variables and $b_{n,1},\dots,b_{n,\ell}$ are real numbers. Applying the zero bias transformation in the Stein\rq s equation, we also obtain the bound for $Z_n$. Adding further conditions that the two models $(X_n,\Delta_n)$ and $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$ are independent and that the difference between variance of $X_n$ and $Y_n$ is smaller than the sum of variances of their perturbation parts, our result is the same as previous work. \end{abstract} \medskip \noindent {\bf Mathematics Subject Classification:} 60F05, 60G18 \smallskip \noindent {\bf Keywords:} Hierarchical sequence, Stein\rq s method, Zero bias \section{Introduction and Main Theorem} Let $Z$ be a standard normally distributed random variable and $X_0$ a non-constant random variable with finite variance. For a positive integer $k\ge2$, we consider a sequence $\{X_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of approximately linear recursions with perturbations $\{\Delta_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$, \[ X_{n+1} = \sum_{i=1}^k a_{n,i} X_{n,i} + \Delta_n \quad \text{ for all } n \ge 0 \] where the $X_n$ and $X_{n,1},\dots,X_{n,k}$ are independent and identically distributed random variables and $a_{n,1},\dots,a_{n,k}$ are real numbers. For all integers $n\ge0$, we introduce some notation for the model $\paren{X_n,a_n,\Delta_n}$, \[ \lambda_{a,n}^2 = \sum_{i=1}^k a_{n,i}^2, \;\; \varphi_{a,n} = \sum_{i=1}^k \frac{|a_{n,i}|^3}{\lambda_{a,n}^3}, \;\; \var{X_n} = \sigma_{X,n}^2 \] and \[ \widetilde{X}_n = \frac{X_n-\E X_n}{\sigma_{X,n}}. \] Arising originally from statistical physics, the approximately linear recursions are special type of hierarchical strucutres and often applied to the conductivity of random mediums. A natural way in the classical probability theory is to study limit theorems for the distributions of these models. A strong law of large numbers for the hierarchical structure was obtained by \cite{Wehr1997, LiRogers1999, Jordan2002}. The central limit theorem for recursions was first introduced by \cite{WehrWoo2001} and the bounds to normal approximation based on the Wasserstein distance were obtained by \cite{Goldstein2004}. The following two conditions were used in the last work. \begin{condition} \label{condition1} For each $i=1,\dots,k$, the sequence $\{a_{n,i}\}_{n=0}^\infty$ converges to some real number $a_i$ satisfying that at least two of the $a_i$\rq s are nonzero. Set $\lambda_{a}^2 = \sum_{i=1}^k a_i^2$. There exist $0 < \delta_{X,2} < \delta_{\Delta,2} < 1$ and positive constants $C_{X,2}$, $C_{\Delta,2}$ such that for all $n\ge 0$, \[ \var{X_n} \ge C_{X,2}^2 \lambda_{a}^{2n} \paren{1-\delta_{X,2}}^{2n}, \] \[ \var{\Delta_n} \le C_{\Delta,2}^2 \lambda_{a}^{2n} \paren{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}^{2n}. \] \end{condition} \begin{condition} \label{condition2} With $\delta_{X,2}$, $\delta_{\Delta,2}$ and $\lambda_{a}$ as in the Condition \ref{condition1}, there exists $\delta_{X,4} \ge 0$ and $\delta_{\Delta,4} \ge 0$ such that \[ \phi_{X,\Delta,2} = \frac{\paren{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}} \paren{1+\delta_{X,4}}^3} {\paren{1-\delta_{X,2}}^4} < 1 \;\; \text{ and } \;\; \phi_{X,\Delta,4} = \paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Delta,4}}{1-\delta_{X,2}} }^2 < 1 \] and positive constants $C_{X,4}$, $C_{\Delta,4}$ such that \[ \E \paren{X_n - \E X_n}^4 \le C_{X,4}^4 \lambda_{a}^{4n} \paren{1+\delta_{X,4}}^{4n}, \] \[ \E \paren{\Delta_n - \E \Delta_n}^4 \le C_{\Delta,4}^4 \lambda_{a}^{4n} \paren{1-\delta_{\Delta,4}}^{4n} . \] \end{condition} Recall that the Wasserstien distance or $L^1$-distance between two laws $F$ and $G$ is given by \[ \norm{F-G}_1 = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \abs{F(t) - G(t)} \,dt. \] For any random variable $X$, the law or cumulative distribution function of $X$ is denoted by $\mathcal L(X)$. \begin{thm} \textnormal{\cite{Goldstein2004}} \label{intro:linearrecursion:Goldstein} Under Conditions \ref{condition1} and \ref{condition2}, there exist constants $C>0$ and $\gamma \in (0,1)$ such that \[ \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde{X}_n ) - \mathcal L (Z)}_1 \le C \gamma^n. \] \end{thm} In this article, we extend the bounds to the case of two effects. Let $\{Z_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ be a sequence of linear model with two effects given by \[ Z_n = X_n + Y_n \quad \text{ for all } n \ge 0 \] where $Y_0$ is a non-degenerated random and for some integer $\ell \ge2$, \[ Y_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^\ell b_{n,j} Y_{n,j} + \Lambda_n \quad \text{for all } n\ge0 \] where $b_{n,1},\dots,b_{n,\ell}$ are real numbers, $Y_{n,1},\dots,Y_{n,\ell}$ are independent copy of the $Y_n$ and $\Lambda_n$ is a small perturbation. Note that the perturbations $\Delta_n$ and $\Lambda_n$ always depend on $X_n$ and $Y_n$, respectively. From now on, we assume that random variables from two models of recursions $(X_n,\Delta_n)$ and $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$ are independent for all $n\ge0$, and denote \[ \lambda_n^2 = \sum_{i=1}^k a_{n,i}^2 + \sum_{j=1}^\ell b_{n,j}^2, \quad \var{Z_n} = \sigma_{X,n}^2 + \sigma_{Y,n}^2 = \sigma_{n}^2 \] and \[ \widetilde Z_n = \frac{Z_n -\E Z_n}{\sigma_n}. \] The bound for linear recursions with two effects is derived by adding further assumption that the difference between variances of two models $(X_n,\Delta_n)$, $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$, is smaller than variances of perturbations, the following is our main theorem. \begin{thm} \label{intro:twoeffect:mainthm} With constants $\delta_{X,2}$, $\delta_{X,4}$, $\delta_{\Delta,2}$ and $\delta_{Y,2}$, $\delta_{Y,4}$, $\delta_{\Lambda,2}$ as in Condition \ref{condition1} and \ref{condition2} for the models $\paren{X_n,\Delta_n}$ and $\paren{Y_n,\Lambda_n}$, suppose that \[ \psi_{X,Y,\Lambda} = \frac{\paren{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}} \paren{1+\delta_{X,4}}^3 }{\paren{1-\delta_{Y,2}}\paren{1-\delta_{X,2}}^3} < 1 \;\; \text{ and } \;\; \psi_{Y,X,\Delta} = \frac{\paren{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}} \paren{1+\delta_{Y,4}}^3 }{\paren{1-\delta_{X,2}}\paren{1-\delta_{Y,2}}^3} < 1 \] and that \[ \abs{\var{X_n} - \var{Y_n}} \le \frac{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n}}{\max\{\lambda_{a,n}^2,\lambda_{b,n}^2 \} } , \] then there exist constants $C>0$ and $\gamma\in(0,1)$ such that \[ \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Z_n) - \mathcal L (Z)}_1 \le C \gamma^n. \] \end{thm} \section{Auxiliary Results} \label{auxresult} Before proving the main theorem, we present some results for the models $(X_n,\Delta_n)$ and $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$. For all $n\ge 0$, let \[ r_{X,n } = \frac{\lambda_n \sigma_{X,n}}{\sigma_{n+1}}, \quad r_{Y,n } = \frac{\lambda_n \sigma_{Y,n}}{\sigma_{n+1}} . \] We begin with the bounds of $r_{X,n}$ and $r_{Y,n}$. \begin{lem} \label{auxresult:lem:boundrn} With constants $\delta_{X,2}$, $\delta_{\Delta,2}$ and $\delta_{Y,2}$, $\delta_{\Lambda,2}$ as in Condition \ref{condition1} for the models $(X_n,\Delta_n)$ and $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$, and suppose that \[ \abs{\var{X_n} - \var{Y_n}} \le \frac{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n}}{\max\{\lambda_{a,n}^2,\lambda_{b,n}^2 \} } , \] then for an integer $p\ge1$, there exists a positive constant $C_{r,p}$ such that \[ \abs{r_{X,n}^p -1} \le C_{r,p} \set{\paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}{1-\delta_{X,2}}}^n + \paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}}{1-\delta_{Y,2}}}^n } \] and \[ \abs{r_{Y,n}^p -1} \le C_{r,p} \set{\paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}{1-\delta_{X,2}}}^n + \paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}}{1-\delta_{Y,2}}}^n } . \] \end{lem} \proof Following the argument of \cite[Lemma 6]{WehrWoo2001}, we consider the variances of linear model of recursions \begin{eqnarray*} \sigma_{n+1}^2 &= & \var{Z_{n+1}} \\ &= & \lambda_{a,n}^2 \var{X_n} + \lambda_{b,n}^2 \var{Y_n} + \var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} \\ &= & \lambda_n^2 \sigma_{X,n}^2 + \lambda_{b,n}^2 \set{ \var{Y_n} - \var{X_n} } + \var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} , \end{eqnarray*} The triangle inequality yields \begin{eqnarray*} \sigma_{n+1} &\le & \lambda_n \sigma_{X,n} + \sqrt{\lambda_{b,n}^2 \abs{ \var{Y_n} - \var{X_n} }} + \sqrt{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} } \\ &\le & \lambda_n \sigma_{X,n} + 2 \sqrt{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} } . \end{eqnarray*} Also, we note that \begin{eqnarray*} \lambda_{a,n}^2 \sigma_{X,n}^2 &= & \sigma_{n+1}^2 - \lambda_{b,n}^2 \set{ \var{Y_n} - \var{X_n} } - \var{\Delta_n} - \var{\Lambda_n} \\ &\le & \sigma_{n+1}^2 + \lambda_{b,n}^2 \abs{ \var{Y_n} - \var{X_n} } + \var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} , \end{eqnarray*} which implies that \begin{eqnarray*} \lambda_n \sigma_{X,n} &\le & \sigma_{n+1} + \sqrt{\lambda_{b,n}^2 \abs{ \var{Y_n} - \var{X_n} }} + \sqrt{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} } \\ &\le & \lambda_n \sigma_{X,n} + 2 \sqrt{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} } . \end{eqnarray*} Then there exists a constant $C_{r,1}$ such that \begin{eqnarray*} \abs{r_{X,n}-1} &= & \frac{\abs{ \lambda_n \sigma_{X,n} - \sigma_{n+1} } }{\sigma_{n+1}} \\ &\le & \frac{2 \sqrt{\var{\Delta_n} + \var{\Lambda_n} } }{\sigma_{n+1}} \\ &\le & 2 \sqrt{\frac{\var{\Delta_n}}{\var{X_{n+1}}} } + 2 \sqrt{ \frac{\var{\Lambda_n}}{\var{Y_{n+1}}} } \\ &\le & \frac{2C_{\Delta,2} \paren{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}^n } {C_{X,2} \lambda_a \paren{1-\delta_{X,2} }^{n+1} } + \frac{2C_{\Lambda,2} \paren{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}}^n } {C_{Y,2} \lambda_b \paren{1-\delta_{Y,2} }^{n+1} } \\ &\le & C_{r,1} \set{\paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}{1-\delta_{X,2}}}^n + \paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}}{1-\delta_{Y,2}}}^n } . \end{eqnarray*} Now, since \[ \abs{r^p-1} = \abs{\paren{r-1+1}^p-1} \le \sum_{j=1}^p \binom{p}{j} \abs{r-1}^j \] and the assumption that $0<\delta_{X,2}<\delta_{\Delta,2}<1$ and $0<\delta_{Y,2}<\delta_{\Lambda,2}<1$, there are constants $C_{r,p}$ such that \[ \abs{r_{X,n}^p -1} \le C_{r,p} \set{\paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}{1-\delta_{X,2}}}^n + \paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}}{1-\delta_{Y,2}}}^n } \] and similarly, we can see that \[ \abs{r_{Y,n}^p -1} \le C_{r,p} \set{\paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Delta,2}}{1-\delta_{X,2}}}^n + \paren{\frac{1-\delta_{\Lambda,2}}{1-\delta_{Y,2}}}^n } \] for all $p=1,2,3,\dots$. \endproof For all $n\ge 0$, let \[ U_n = U_{X,n} + U_{Y,n} \] where \[ U_{X,n+1} = \sum_{i=1}^k \frac{a_{n,i}}{\lambda_n} \paren{ \frac{X_{n,i} - \E X_{n,i}}{\sigma_{X,n}} } \;\; \text{ and } \;\; U_{Y,n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^\ell \frac{b_{n,j}}{\lambda_n} \paren{ \frac{Y_{n,j} - \E Y_{n,j}}{\sigma_{Y,n}} } . \] Next, we follow the proof of \cite[Lemma 4.1]{ChenEt2010} to prepare an inequality for the Wasserstein distance between laws of $U_n$ and its zero bias transformation. \begin{lem} \label{auxresult:lem:boundLU} For all integers $n\ge1$ and the zero bias transformation $U_n^\ast$, $\widetilde X_n^\ast$, $\widetilde Y_n^\ast$ of the $U_n$, $\widetilde X_n$, $\widetilde Y_n$, respectively, we have \[ \norm{\mathcal L (U_n) - \mathcal L (U_n^\ast) }_1 \le \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_n^\ast)}_1 + \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n^\ast)}_1 . \] \end{lem} \proof Set $m=k+\ell$. Let \[ \xi_i = \begin{cases} \paren{ X_{n,i} - \E X_{n,i} } / \sigma_{X,n} & \text{ for } i = 1,\dots, k \\ \paren{ Y_{n,i-k} - \E Y_{n,i-k} } / \sigma_{Y,n} & \text{ for } i = k+1,\dots,m \end{cases} \] and \[ \alpha_{n,i} = \begin{cases} a_{n,i} & \text{ for } i = 1,\dots, k \\ b_{n,i-k} & \text{ for } i = k+1,\dots,m. \end{cases} \] Note that $U_{n+1}$ is a sum of independent random variables and can be written as \[ U_{n+1} = \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{\alpha_{n,i}}{\lambda_n} \xi_i. \] Let $I$ be a random index independent of all other variables and satisfying that \[ \PP{I = i} = \frac{\alpha_{n,i}^2}{\lambda_n^2} \quad \text{for } i = 1,\dots,m. \] By the result of \cite[Lemma 2.8]{ChenEt2010}, the random variable \[ U_{n+1}^\ast = U_{n+1} - \frac{\alpha_{n,I}}{\lambda_n} \paren{\xi_{I}^\ast - \xi_{I} } \] has the $U_{n+1}$-zero biased distribution. By taking the dual form of the $L^1$-distance discussed in \cite{Rachev1984}, we can see that \[ \norm{\mathcal L (U_{n+1}) - \mathcal L (U_{n+1}^\ast) }_1 \; = \; \inf \E \abs{X-Y} \; \le \; \E \abs{U_{n+1} - U_{n+1}^\ast} \] where the infimum is taken over all coupling of $X$ and $Y$ having the joint distribution with $\mathcal L (U_{n+1})$ and its zero bias distribution. Let $V_1,\dots, V_m$ be independent uniformly distributed random variables on $[0, 1]$. For $i=1,\dots,m$, let $\xi_i^\ast$ be the zero bias transformation of $\xi_i$. Let $F_\xi$ and $F_{\xi^\ast}$ be the distribution functions of $\xi$ and $\xi^\ast$, respectively. Set \[ (\xi_i,\xi_i^\ast) = \paren{F_{\xi_i}^{-1} (V_i) , F_{\xi_i^\ast}^{-1} (V_i) } \quad \text{ for all } i=1,\dots,m. \] By the results of \cite{Rachev1984}, we obtain that \[ \E \abs{\xi_i - \xi_i^\ast} = \begin{cases} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_n^\ast)}_1 & \text{ for } i=1,\dots,k \\ \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n^\ast)}_1 & \text{ for } i=k+1,\dots,m. \end{cases} \] Now, we obtain \begin{eqnarray*} &&\hskip-.75cm \norm{\mathcal L (U_{n+1}) - \mathcal L (U_{n+1}^\ast) }_1 \\ &\le & \E \abs{U_{n+1} - U_{n+1}^\ast} \\ &= & \E \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{|\alpha_{n,i}|}{\lambda_n} \abs{\xi_i - \xi_i^\ast} \boldsymbol{1} \paren{I = i} \\ &= & \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{|\alpha_{n,i}|^3}{\lambda_n^3} \E \abs{\xi_i - \xi_i^\ast} \\ &= & \sum_{i=1}^k \frac{|a_{n,i}|^3}{\lambda_n^3} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_n^\ast)}_1 + \sum_{j=1}^\ell \frac{|b_{n,j}|^3}{\lambda_n^3} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n^\ast)}_1 \\ &= & \frac{\lambda_{a,n}^3 \, \varphi_{a,n}}{\lambda_n^3} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_n^\ast)}_1 + \frac{\lambda_{b,n}^3 \, \varphi_{b,n}}{\lambda_n^3} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n^\ast)}_1 \\ &\le & \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_n^\ast)}_1 + \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_n^\ast)}_1. \end{eqnarray*} \endproof \section{Proof of Main Theorem} \proof[Proof of Theorem \ref{intro:twoeffect:mainthm}] By the results of \cite[Theorem 4.1]{ChenEt2010}, we can calculate the bound on $L^1$-distance by using the zero bias transformation as follows \begin{eqnarray} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Z_n) - \mathcal L (Z)}_1 & \le & 2 \norm{\mathcal L(\widetilde Z_n) - \mathcal L(\widetilde Z_n^\ast) }_1 . \label{proof:eq:LZn-LZ} \end{eqnarray} Moreover, we can use equivalent forms of the $L^1$-distance found in \cite{Rachev1984} and given by \[ \norm{\mathcal L(\widetilde Z_n) - \mathcal L(\widetilde Z_n^\ast) }_1 \; =\; \sup_{h\in \mathfrak{Lip}} \abs{\E h(\widetilde Z_n) - \E h(\widetilde Z_n^\ast)} \; =\; \sup_{f\in \mathfrak{F_{ac}}} \abs{\E f'(\widetilde Z_n) - \E f'(\widetilde Z_n^\ast)} \] where \( \mathfrak{Lip} = \set{h\colon\R\to\R : \abs{h(x)-h(y)} \le |x-y| \; \text{ for all } x,y\in \R} \) \noindent and \( \mathfrak{F_{ac}} = \set{f\colon\R\to\R : f \text{ is absolutely continuous, } f(0)=f'(0)=0, \, f'\in \mathfrak{Lip}} . \) Now, we present some facts about the Stein\rq s method for normal approximation. For each $f \in\mathcal F$, define $h\colon\R\to\R$ by \[ h(w) = f'(w) - wf(w). \] By the characterization of normal distribution, $\E h(Z)=0$. Also, we observe that \[ \abs{h'(w)} \; = \; \abs{f''(w) - wf'(w) - f(w)} \; \le \; 1 + w^2 + \frac{w^2}{2} \] and hence \[ \abs{h(w) - h(u) } = \abs{\int_{u}^{w} h'(t)\,dt} \le \abs{w-u} +\frac{1}{2}\abs{w^3-u^3}. \] From the definition of zero bias transformation and that $\var{\widetilde Z_{n+1}} = 1$, we have \begin{eqnarray} &&\hskip-.75cm \abs{\E f'(\widetilde Z_{n+1}) - \E f'(\widetilde Z_{n+1}^\ast)} \notag\\ &=& \abs{\E f'(\widetilde Z_{n+1}) - \E \widetilde Z_{n+1} f(\widetilde Z_{n+1})} \notag\\ &=& \abs{\E h(\widetilde Z_{n+1})} \notag\\ &\le & \abs{\E h(\widetilde Z_{n+1}) - \E h(U_{n+1}) } + \abs{\E h(U_{n+1}) } \notag\\ &\le & \E \abs{\widetilde Z_{n+1} - U_{n+1}} + \frac{1}{2} \E \abs{\widetilde Z_{n+1}^3 - U_{n+1}^3} + \abs{\E h(U_{n+1}) } \notag\\ &= & \beta_n + \abs{\E f'(U_{n+1}) - \E f'(U_{n+1}^\ast)} \notag\\ &\le & \beta_n + \norm{\mathcal L (U_{n+1}) - \mathcal L (U_{n+1}^\ast) }_1 \notag\\ &\le & \beta_n + \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_{n}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_{n}^\ast) }_1 + \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_{n}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_{n}^\ast) }_1 \label{proof:eq:EfZ-EfZstar} \end{eqnarray} where we apply Lemma \ref{auxresult:lem:boundLU} in the last inequality and denote for all $n\ge0$, \begin{eqnarray} \beta_n = \E \abs{\widetilde Z_{n+1} - U_{n+1}} + \frac{1}{2} \E \abs{\widetilde Z_{n+1}^3 - U_{n+1}^3} . \label{proof:eq:betan} \end{eqnarray} By (\ref{proof:eq:LZn-LZ}) and taking the supremum of (\ref{proof:eq:EfZ-EfZstar}) over $f \in \mathfrak{F_{ac}}$, we obtain \begin{eqnarray*} \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Z_{n+1}) - \mathcal L (Z) }_1 &\le & 2 \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Z_{n+1}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Z_{n+1}^\ast)}_1 \\ &\le & 2 \beta_n + 2 \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_{n}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_{n}^\ast) }_1 + 2 \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_{n}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_{n}^\ast) }_1 . \end{eqnarray*} Applying the Condition \ref{condition1} and \ref{condition2} for the models $(X_n,\Delta_n)$ and $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$ in Theorem \ref{intro:linearrecursion:Goldstein}, there exist positive constants $C_{X,a,\Delta}$, $C_{Y,b\Lambda}$ and $\gamma_{X,a,\Delta}\in(0,1)$, $\gamma_{Y,b,\Lambda}\in(0,1)$ such that for all $n\ge 0$, \[ \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde X_{n}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde X_{n}^\ast) }_1 \le C_{X,a,\Delta} \paren{\gamma_{X,a,\Delta} }^n \] and \[ \norm{\mathcal L (\widetilde Y_{n}) - \mathcal L (\widetilde Y_{n}^\ast) }_1 \le C_{Y,b,\Lambda} \paren{\gamma_{Y,b,\Lambda} }^n . \] We remain to show that $\beta_n \le C_\beta \gamma_\beta^n$ for some $C_\beta>0$ and $\gamma_\beta\in(0,1)$ and the proof is completed by choosing $C=C_{X,a,\Delta} + C_{Y,b,\Lambda} + C_\beta$ and $\gamma=\max\set{\gamma_{X,a,\Delta},\gamma_{Y,b,\Lambda},\gamma_\beta}$. \medskip Recalling the definition of $r_{X,n}$, $r_{Y,n}$ and $U_{X,n}$, $U_{Y,n}$ in Lemma \ref{auxresult:lem:boundrn} and \ref{auxresult:lem:boundLU}, respectively, the linear model of recursions can be written as \begin{eqnarray*} \widetilde Z_{n+1} &=& \frac{Z_{n+1} - \E Z_{n+1}}{\sigma_{n+1}} \notag\\ &=& \frac{X_{n+1} - \E X_{n+1}}{\sigma_{n+1}} + \frac{Y_{n+1} - \E Y_{n+1}}{\sigma_{n+1}} \notag\\ &=& \frac{\sigma_{X,n}}{\sigma_{n+1}} \set{ \sum_{i=1}^k a_{n,i} \paren{\frac{X_{n,i} - \E X_{n,i} }{\sigma_{X,n} } } + \frac{\Delta_n - \E \Delta_n}{\sigma_{X,n}} } \notag\\ && + \frac{\sigma_{Y,n}}{\sigma_{n+1}} \set{ \sum_{j=1}^\ell b_{n,j} \paren{\frac{Y_{n,j} - \E Y_{n,j} }{\sigma_{Y,n}} } + \frac{\Lambda_n - \E \Lambda_n}{\sigma_{Y,n}} } \notag\\ &=& r_{X,n} {U}_{X,n+1} + r_{Y,n} {U}_{Y,n+1} + \Gamma_n \end{eqnarray*} where $\Gamma_n = \Gamma_{X,\Delta,n} + \Gamma_{Y,\Lambda,n}$, \[ \Gamma_{X,\Delta,n} = \frac{\sigma_{X,n}}{\sigma_{n+1}} \paren{\frac{\Delta_n - \E \Delta_n}{\sigma_{X,n}} } \;\; \text{and } \;\; \Gamma_{Y,\Lambda,n} = \frac{\sigma_{Y,n}}{\sigma_{n+1}} \paren{\frac{\Delta_n - \E \Delta_n}{\sigma_{Y,n}} } . \] Using Conditions \ref{condition1} and \ref{condition2} for the models $(X_n,\Delta_n)$ and $(Y_n,\Lambda_n)$, the result of \cite[Lemma 6]{WehrWoo2001} gives that the limits \[ \lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{\sigma_{X,n}}{\lambda_{a,0} \dots \lambda_{a,n-1}} \;\;

I am closing out Top Shelf month with an e-book I bought from Comixology for my Kindle Fire. Yes, they sell digital, too! The facile way to describe this book would be to call it Stephen King's "The Body" meets District 9 set in Australia (I almost wrote Alien Nation, but that just means I am OLD). But Blue. This deceptively complex book disarms the reader with a very cartoonish style, and writer/artist Pat Grant demonstrations some great storytelling skills. It is an outstanding debut work, one that smacks of technical and artistic expertise. That said, this Melbourne-based comics creator is a relative newcomer and has worked on a variety of small projects listed here. He also is interested in surf culture and has an excellent essay about the history of Australian surfing and underground comix as his influences in the back pages of Blue. Reviews I have read online have been very complimentary about this freshman effort. Andy Khouri called it "an uncommonly sophisticated look at prejudice and localism." Bill Sherman wrote, "Sharply unsentimental and often darkly funny, it makes a powerful debut for artist, writer and, zinemaker Grant—a must read for anyone invested in following literary comics." Slate's Dan Kois called it "thoughful and complicated" and added that it "really stuck with me after I read it." A preview and much more is available here from the publisher. The whole book is also available online here, though I think it is still well worth its purchase prices. Support an author who is starting out! Also, if I have not a great job selling you on the book - or if you are already onboard - you should check out Pat Grant's SHAMELESS PUBLICITY DOCUMENT!

These are the first two pieces in my smaller set of landscape series. They are 10X10 fiber art mounted on a 12X12 canvas. The first one is a picture from my own imagination. It reminds me of my own private retreat; somewhere I would like to go to just enjoy nature's beauty. It's almost like a hideaway. I have been stuggling for a name for this piece and as of yet have not found one. Any suggestions would be welcome. The second piece was composed from a picture that a friend took while on vacation. It is reminiscent of a peaceful oasis garden and hence I have named it "The Oasis." Funny how some artwork seem to be born with names while others are harder to convey with titles and more easily expressed with thoughts and images. I would like to put forth a few more additions to this series and see where it takes me. At the moment, I am thinking I like the images born of my own imagination better than those set before me. What do they say? The images concocted from your mind are always better than the images you see before you? I wonder if that is really true.

TITLE: Eigenvectors and $x_{n}$ QUESTION [0 upvotes]: I've got the following problem in linear algebra under chapter eigenvector and eigenvalue. Determine $x_{n}$ if $$\left\{\begin{matrix} x_{1}=3\\ x_{2}=0\\ x_{n}=x_{n-1}+2x_{n-2},\ n=3,4... \end{matrix}\right.$$ The answer is: $$x_{n}=2(-1)^{n-1}+2^{n-1}$$ I do not understand the problem. How should I handle this? REPLY [1 votes]: The equation is linear, and this is why it is relevant in the context of linear algebra: if you find several independent solutions, their linear combination will also be a solution. Now, to get some inspiration about the possible shape of a solution, let us consider the simpler $$z_0=1,z_n=2z_{n-1}.$$ The first terms are $z_1=2,z_2=4,z_3=8,\cdots$ and the obvious pattern $z_n=2^n$ appears. Hence, for the original problem we will try $$x_n=r^n.$$ Plugging in the recurrence, $$r^n=r^{n-1}+2r^{n-2},$$ or after simplification $$r^2=r+2.$$ Solving this quadratic equation, we have established that $2^n$ and $(-1)^n$ are two solutions, and any linear combination $$a\,2^n+b\,(-1)^n$$ is also a solution. You can determine $a,b$ by using the extra information available. Theory shows that a linear recurrence of order $k$ (largest difference between the term indexes, here $k=2$) has exactly $k$ independent solutions, which form a basis for the general solution.

Our main result is a description of the mapping spaces between two dg-categories $C$ and $D$ in terms of the nerve of a certain category of $(C,D)$-bimodules. We also prove that the homotopy category $Ho(dg-Cat)$ possesses internal Hom's relative to the (derived) tensor product of dg-categories. We use these two results in order to prove a derived version of Morita theory, describing the morphisms between dg-categories of modules over two dg-categories $C$ and $D$ as the dg-category of $(C,D)$-bi-modules. Finally, we give three applications of our results. The first one expresses Hochschild cohomology as endomorphisms of the identity functor, as well as higher homotopy groups of the \emph{classifying space of dg-categories} (i.e. the nerve of the category of dg-categories and quasi-equivalences between them). The second application is the existence of a good theory of localization for dg-categories, defined in terms of a natural universal property. Our last application states that the dg-category of (continuous) morphisms between the dg-categories of quasi-coherent (resp. perfect) complexes on two schemes (resp. smooth and proper schemes) is quasi-equivalent to the dg-category of quasi-coherent (resp. perfect) complexes on their product. \end{abstract} \medskip \tableofcontents \bigskip \section{Introduction} Let $A$ and $B$ be two associative algebras (over some field $k$), and $A-Mod$ and $B-Mod$ be their categories of right modules. It is well known that any functor $A-Mod \longrightarrow B-Mod$ which commutes with colimits is of the form $$\begin{array}{ccc} A-Mod & \longrightarrow & B-Mod \\ M & \mapsto & M \otimes_{A} P, \end{array}$$ for some $A^{op}\otimes B$-module $P$. More generally, there exists a natural equivalence of categories between $(A^{op}\otimes B)-Mod$ and the category of all colimit preserving functors $A-Mod \longrightarrow B-Mod$. This is known as Morita theory for rings. Now, let $A$ and $B$ be two associative dg-algebras (say over some field $k$), together with their triangulated derived category of right (unbounded) dg-modules $D(A)$ and $D(B)$. A natural way of constructing triangulated functors from $D(A)$ to $D(B)$ is by choosing $P$ a left $A^{op}\otimes B$-dg-module, and considering the derived functor $$\begin{array}{ccc} D(A) & \longrightarrow & D(B) \\ M & \mapsto & M\otimes_{A}^{\mathbb{L}}P. \end{array}$$ However, it is well known that there exist triangulated functors $D(A) \longrightarrow D(B)$ that do not arise from a $A^{op}\otimes B$-dg-module (see e.g. \cite[2.5, 6.8]{ds}). The situation is even worse, as the functor $$D(A^{op}\otimes B) \longrightarrow Hom_{tr}(D(A),D(B))$$ is not expected to be reasonable in any sense as the right hand side simply does not possess a natural triangulated structure. Therefore, triangulated categories do not appear as the right object to consider if one is looking for an extension of Morita theory to dg-algebras. The main purpose of this work is to provide a solution to this problem by replacing the notion of triangulated categories by the notion of dg-categories. \\ \begin{center} \textit{dg-Categories} \end{center} A dg-category is a category which is enriched over the monoidal category of complexes over some base ring $k$. It consists of a set of objects together with complexes $C(x,y)$ for two any objects $x$ and $y$, and composition morphisms $C(x,y)\otimes C(y,z) \longrightarrow C(x,z)$ (assumed to be associative and unital). As linear categories can be understood as \emph{rings with several objects}, dg-categories can be thought as \emph{dg-algebras with several objects}, the precise statement being that dg-algebras are exactly dg-categories having a unique object. From a dg-category $C$ one can form a genuine category $[C]$ by keeping the same set of objects and defining the set of morphisms between $x$ and $y$ in $[C]$ to be $H^{0}(C(x,y))$. In turns out that a lot of triangulated categories appearing in geometric contexts are of the form $[C]$ for some natural dg-category $C$ (this is for example the case for the derived category of a reasonable abelian category, as well as for the derived category of dg-modules over some dg-algebra). The new feature of dg-categories is the notion of \emph{quasi-equivalences}, a mixture between quasi-isomorphisms and categorical equivalences and which turns out to be the right notion of equivalences between dg-categories. Precisely, a morphism $f : C \longrightarrow D$ between two dg-categories is a quasi-equivalence if it satisfies the following two conditions \begin{itemize} \item For any objects $x$ and $y$ in $C$ the induced morphism $C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is a quasi-isomorphism. \item The induced functor $[C] \longrightarrow [D]$ is an equivalence of categories. \end{itemize} In practice we are only interested in dg-categories up to quasi-equivalences, and the main object of study is thus the localized category $Ho(dg-Cat)$ of dg-categories with respect to quasi-equivalences, or better its refined simplicial version $L(dg-Cat)$ of Dwyer and Kan (see \cite{dk2}). The main purpose of this paper is to study the simplicial category $L(dg-Cat)$, and to show that a derived version of Morita theory can be extracted from it. The key tool for us will be the existence of a model structure on the category of dg-categories (see \cite{tab}), which will allow us to use standard constructions of homotopical algebra (mapping spaces, homotopy limits and colimits \dots) in order to describe $L(dg-Cat)$. \\ \begin{center} \textit{Statement of the results} \end{center} Let $C$ and $D$ be two dg-categories, considered as objects in $L(dg-Cat)$. A first invariant is the homotopy type of the simplicial set of morphism $L(dg-Cat)(C,D)$, which is well known to be weakly equivalent to the mapping space $Map(C,D)$ computed in the model category of dg-categories (see \cite{dk,dk2}). From $C$ and $D$ one can form the tensor product $C\otimes D^{op}$ (suitably derived if necessary), as well as the category $(C\otimes D^{op})-Mod$ of $C\otimes D^{op}$-modules (these are enriched functors from $C\otimes D^{op}$ to the category of complexes). There exists an obvious notion of quasi-isomorphism between $C\otimes D^{op}$-modules, and thus a homotopy category $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod)$. Finally, inside $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod)$ is a certain full sub-category of \emph{right quasi-representable objects}, consisting of modules $F$ such that for any $x\in C$ the induced $D^{op}$-module $F(x,-)$ is quasi-isomorphic to a $D^{op}$-module of the form $D(-,y)$ for some $y\in D$ (see \S 3 for details). One can then consider the category $\mathcal{F}(C,D)$ consisting of all right quasi-representable $C\otimes D^{op}$-modules and quasi-isomorphisms between them. The main result of this work is the following. \begin{thm}\label{ti1}{(See Thm. \ref{t1})} There exists a natural weak equivalence of simplicial sets $$Map(C,D)\simeq N(\mathcal{F}(C,D))$$ where $N(\mathcal{F}(C,D))$ is the nerve of the category $\mathcal{F}(C,D)$. \end{thm} We would like to mention that this theorem does not simply follow from the existence of the model structure on dg-categories. Indeed, this model structure is not simplicially enriched (even in some weak sense, as the model category of complexes is for example), and there is no obvious manner to compute the mapping spaces $Map(C,D)$. \\ As an important corollary one gets the following result. \begin{cor}\label{cti1} \begin{enumerate} \item There is a natural bijection between $[C,D]$, the set of morphisms between $C$ and $D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat)$, and the isomorphism classes of right quasi-representable objects in $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod)$. \item For two morphism $f,g : C\longrightarrow D$ there is a natural weak equivalence $$\Omega_{f,g}Map(C,D) \simeq Map(\phi(f),\phi(g))$$ where $Map(\phi(f),\phi(g))$ is the mapping space between the $C\otimes D^{op}$-modules corresponding to $f$ and $g$. \end{enumerate} \end{cor} The tensor product of dg-categories, suitably derived, induces a symmetric monoidal structure on $Ho(dg-Cat)$. Our second main result states that this monoidal structure is closed. \begin{thm}\label{ti2}{(See Thm. \ref{t2})} The symmetric monoidal category $Ho(dg-Cat)$ is closed. More precisely, for any three dg-categories $A$, $B$ and $C$, there exists a dg-category $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(B,C)$ and functorial isomorphisms in $Ho(SSet)$ $$Map(A,\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(B,C))\simeq Map(A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} B,C).$$ Furthermore, $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(B,C)$ is naturally isomorphic in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ to the dg-category of cofibrant right quasi-representable $B\otimes C^{op}$-modules. \end{thm} Finally, Morita theory can be expressed in the following terms. Let us use the notation $\widehat{C}:=\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C^{op},Int(C(k)))$, where $Int(C(k))$ is the dg-category of cofibrant complexes. Note that by our theorem \ref{ti2} $\widehat{C}$ is also quasi-equivalent to the dg-category of cofibrant $C^{op}$-modules. \begin{thm}\label{ti3}{(See Thm. \ref{t3} and Cor. \ref{ct3})} There exists a natural isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})\simeq \widehat{C^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D},$$ where $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$ is the full sub-dg-category of $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$ consisting of morphisms commuting with infinite direct sums. \end{thm} As a corollary we obtain the following result. \begin{cor}\label{cti3} There is natural bijection between $[\widehat{C},\widehat{D}]_{c}$, the sub-set of $[\widehat{C},\widehat{D}]$ consisting of direct sums preserving morphisms, and the isomorphism classes in $Ho((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})-Mod)$. \end{cor} \bigskip \begin{center} \textit{Three applications} \end{center} \smallskip We will give three applications of our general results. The first one is a description of the homotopy groups of the classifying space of dg-categories $|dg-Cat|$, defined as the nerve of the category of quasi-equivalences between dg-categories. For this, recall that the Hochschild cohomology of a dg-category $C$ is defined by $$\mathbb{HH}^{i}:=[C,C[i]]_{C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}-Mod},$$ where $C$ is the $C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}$-module sending $(x,y)\in C\otimes C^{op}$ to $C(y,x)$. \begin{cor}{(See Cor. \ref{chh'}, \ref{crpic})} \begin{enumerate} For any dg-category $C$ one has \item $$\mathbb{HH}^{*}(C)\simeq H^{*}(\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,C)(Id,Id)).$$ \item $$\pi_{i}(|dg-Cat|,C)\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{2-i}(C) \qquad\forall i>2.$$ \item $$\pi_{2}((|dg-Cat|,C)\simeq Aut_{Ho(C\otimes C^{op}-Mod)}(C)\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{0}(C)^{*}$$ \item $$\pi_{1}(|dg-Cat|,\widehat{BA})\simeq RPic(A),$$ where $A$ is a dg-algebra, $BA$ the dg-category with a unique object and $A$ as its endomorphism, and where $RPic(A)$ is the derived Picard group of $A$ as defined for example in \cite{rz,ke2,yek}. \end{enumerate} \end{cor} Our second application is the existence of localization for dg-categories. For this, let $C$ be any dg-category and $S$ be a set of morphisms in $[C]$. For any dg-category $D$ we define $Map_{S}(C,D)$ as the sub-simplicial set of $Map(C,D)$ consisting of morphisms sending $S$ to isomorphisms in $[D]$. \begin{cor}{(See Cor. \ref{cloc})} The $Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$-enriched functor $$Map_{S}(C,-) : Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$$ is co-represented by an object $L_{S}(C) \in Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$. \end{cor} Our final application will provide a proof of the following fact, which can be considered as a possible answer to a folklore question to know whether or not all triangulated functors between derived categories of varieties are induced by some object in the derived category of their product (see e.g. \cite{o} where this is proved for triangulated equivalences between derived categories of smooth projective varieties). \begin{cor}\label{cti3'}{(See Thm. \ref{tfour})} Let $X$ and $Y$ be two quasi-compact and separated $k$-schemes, one of them being flat over $Spec\, k$, and let $L_{qcoh}(X)$ and $L_{qcoh}(Y)$ their dg-categories of (fibrant) quasi-coherent complexes. Then, one has a natural isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ $$L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y)\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y)).$$ In particular, there is a natural bijection between $[L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y)]_{c}$ and set of isomorphism classes of objects in the category $D_{qcoh}(X\times Y)$. If furthermore $X$ and $Y$ are smooth and proper over $Spec\, k$, then one has a natural isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ $$L_{parf}(X\times_{k} Y)\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(L_{parf}(X),L_{parf}(Y)),$$ where $L_{parf}(X)$ (resp. $L_{parf}(Y)$) is the full sub-dg-category of $L_{qcoh}(X)$ (resp. of $L_{qcoh}(Y)$) consisting of perfect complexes. \end{cor} \bigskip \begin{center} \textit{Related works} \end{center} The fact that dg-categories provide natural and interesting enhancement of derived categories has been recognized for some times, and in particular in \cite{bk}. They have been used more recently in \cite{bll} in which a very special case of our theorem \ref{tfour} is proved for smooth projective varieties. The present work follows the same philosophy that dg-categories are the \emph{true derived categories} (though I do not like very much this expression). Derived equivalences between (non-dg) algebras have been heavily studied by J. Rickard (see e.g. \cite{ri1,ri2}), and the results obtained have been commonly called \emph{Morita theory for derived categories}. The present work can be considered as a continuation of this fundamental work, though our techniques and our purposes are rather different. Indeed, in our mind the word \emph{derived} appearing in our title does not refer to generalizing Morita theory from module categories to derived categories, but to generalizing Morita theory from algebras to dg-algebras. Morita theory for dg-algebras and ring spectra has been approached recently using model category techniques in \cite{ss}. The results obtained this way state in particular that two ring spectra have Quillen equivalent model categories of modules if and only if a certain bi-module exists. This approach, however, does not say anything about \emph{higher homotopies}, in the sense that it seems hard (or even impossible) to compare the whole model category of bi-modules with the category of Quillen equivalences, already simply because a model category of Quillen functors does not seem to exist in any reasonable sense. This is another incarnation of the principle that model category theory does not work very well as soon as categories of functors are involved, and that some sort of higher categorical structures are then often needed (see e.g. \cite[\S 1]{to2}). A relation between the derived Picard group and Hochschild cohomology is given in \cite{ke2}, and is somehow close to our Corollary \ref{chh'}. An interpretation of Hochschild cohomology as first order deformations of dg-categories is also given in \cite{hagII}. There has been many works on dg-categories (as well as its weakened, but after all equivalent, notion of $A_{\infty}$-categories) in which several universal constructions, such as reasonable dg-categories of dg-functors or quotient and localization of dg-categories, have been studied (see for example \cite{dr,ke,ly,ly2}). Of course, when compared in a correct way, our constructions give back the same objects as the ones considered in these papers, but I would like to point out that the two approaches are different and that our results can not be deduced from these previous works. Indeed, the universal properties of the constructions of \cite{dr,ke,ly,ly2} are expressed in a somehow un-satisfactory manner (at least for my personal taste) as they are stated in terms of certain dg-categories of dg-functors that are not themselves defined by some universal properties (except an obvious one with respect to themselves !)\footnote{The situation is very comparable to the situation where one tries to explain why categories of functors give the \emph{right notion}: expressing universal properties using itself categories of functors is not helpful.}. In some sense, the results proved in these papers are more properties satisfied by certain constructions rather than existence theorems. On the contrary our results truly are existence theorems and our dg-categories of dg-functors, or our localized dg-categories, are constructed as solution to a universal problem inside the category $Ho(dg-Cat)$ (or rather inside the simplicial category $L(dg-Cat)$). As far as I know, these universal properties were not known to be satisfied by the constructions of \cite{dr,ke,ly,ly2}. The results of the present work can also be generalized in an obvious way to other contexts, as for example simplicially enriched categories, or even spectral categories. Indeed, the key tool that makes the proofs working is the existence of a nice model category structure on enriched categories. For simplicial categories this model structure is known to exist by a recent work of J. Bergner, and our theorems \ref{t1} and \ref{t2} can be easily shown to be true in this setting (essentially the same proofs work). Theorem \ref{t3} also stays correct for simplicial categories except that one needs to replace the notion of continuous morphisms by the more elaborated notion of colimit preserving morphisms. More recently, J. Tapia has done some progress for proving the existence of a model category structure on $M$-enriched categories for very general monoidal model categories $M$, including for example spectral categories (i.e. categories enriched in symmetric spectra). I am convinced that theorems \ref{t1} and \ref{t2}, as well as the correct modification of theorem \ref{t3}, stay correct in this general setting. As a consequence one would get a Morita theory for symmetric ring spectra. Finally, I did not investigate at all the question of the behavior of the equivalence of theorem \ref{t1} with respect to composition of morphisms. Of course, on the level of bi-modules composition is given by the tensor product, but the combinatorics of these compositions are not an easy question. This is related to the question: \emph{What do dg-categories form ?} It is commonly expected that the answer is \emph{an $E_{2}$-category}, whatever this means. The point of view of this work is to avoid this difficulty by stating that another possible answer is \emph{a simplicially enriched category} (precisely the Dwyer-Kan localization $L(dg-Cat)$), which is a perfectly well understood structure. Our theorem \ref{t2}, as well as its corollary \ref{cp5'} state that the simplicial category $L(dg-Cat)$ is enriched over itself in a rather strong sense. In fact, one can show that $L(dg-Cat)$ is a \emph{symmetric monoidal simplicial category} in the sense of Segal monoids explained in \cite{kt}, and I believe that another equivalent way to talk about $E_{2}$-categories is by considering $L(dg-Cat)$-enriched simplicial categories, again in some Segal style of definitions (see for example \cite{to}). In other words, I think the $E_{2}$-category of dg-categories should be completely determined by the symmetric monoidal simplicial category $L(dg-Cat)$. \bigskip \textbf{Acknowledgments:} I am very grateful to M. Anel, C. Barwick, L. Katzarkov, T. Pantev, M. Spitzweck, J. Tapia, M. Vaqui\'e and G. Vezzosi for their participation in the small workshop on non-abelian Hodge theory which took place in Toulouse during the spring 2004. I also would like to thank warmly C. Simpson for his participation to this workshop via some tricky but enjoyable video-conference meeting. It has been during one of the informal conversation of this workshop that the general ideas for a proof of theorem \ref{tfour} have been found, and I think this particular theorem should be attributed to the all of us. I would like to thank B. Keller for several comments on earlier versions of this work, and for pointing out to me related references. I also thank the referee for his careful reading. \bigskip \bigskip \textbf{Conventions:} All along this work universes will be denoted by $\mathbb{U}\in \mathbb{V}\in \mathbb{W} \dots$. We will always assume that they satisfy the infinite axiom. We use the notion of model categories in the sense of \cite{ho}. The expression \emph{equivalence} always refer to weak equivalence in a model category. For a model category $M$, we will denote by $Map_{M}$ (or $Map$ if $M$ is clear) its mapping spaces as defined in \cite{ho}. We will always consider $Map_{M}(x,y)$ as an object in the homotopy category $Ho(SSet)$. In the same way, the set of morphisms in the homotopy category $Ho(M)$ will be denoted by $[-,-]_{M}$, or by $[-,-]$ if $M$ is clear. The natural $Ho(SSet)$-tensor structure on $Ho(M)$ will be denoted by $K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}X$, for $K$ a simplicial set and $X$ an object in $M$. In the same way, the $Ho(SSet)$-cotensor structure will be denoted by $X^{\mathbb{R}K}$. The homotopy fiber products will be denoted by $x\times^{h}_{z}y$, and dually the homotopy push-outs will be denoted by $x\coprod^{\mathbb{L}}_{z}y$. For all along this work, we fix an associative, unital and commutative ring $k$. We denote by $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$ the category of $\mathbb{U}$-small (un-bounded) complexes of $k$-modules, for some universe $\mathbb{U}$ with $k\in \mathbb{U}$. The category $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$ is a symmetric monoidal model category, where one uses the projective model structures for which fibrations are epimorphisms and equivalences are quasi-isomorphisms (see e.g. \cite{ho}). When the universe $\mathbb{U}$ is irrelevant we will simply write $C(k)$ for $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$. The monoidal structure on $C(k)$ is the usual tensor product of complexes over $k$, and will be denoted by $\otimes$. Its derived version will be denoted by $\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}$. \section{The model structure} Recall that a $\mathbb{U}$-small $dg$-category $C$ consists of the following data. \begin{itemize} \item A $\mathbb{U}$-small set of objects $Ob(C)$, also sometimes denoted by $C$ itself. \item For any pair of objects $(x,y)\in Ob(C)^{2}$ a complex $C(x,y)\in C(k)$. \item For any triple $(x,y,z)\in Ob(C)^{3}$ a composition morphism $C(x,y)\otimes C(y,z) \longrightarrow C(x,z)$, satisfying the usual associativity condition. \item For any object $x\in Ob(C)$, a morphism $k \longrightarrow C(x,x)$, satisfying the usual unit condition with respect to the above composition. \end{itemize} For two dg-categories $C$ and $D$, a morphism of dg-categories (or simply a dg-functor) $f : C \longrightarrow D$ consists of the following data. \begin{itemize} \item A map of sets $f : Ob(C) \longrightarrow Ob(D)$. \item For any pair of objects $(x,y)\in Ob(C)^{2}$, a morphism in $C(k)$ $$f_{x,y} : C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$$ satisfying the usual unit and associativity conditions. \end{itemize} The $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories and dg-functors do form a category $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. When the universe $\mathbb{U}$ is irrelevant, we will simply write $dg-Cat$ for $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. \\ We define a functor $$[-] : dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}} \longrightarrow Cat_{\mathbb{U}},$$ from $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ to the category of $\mathbb{U}$-small categories by the following construction. For $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, the set of object of $[C]$ is simply the set of object of $C$. For two object $x$ and $y$ in $[C]$, the set of morphisms from $x$ to $y$ in $[C]$ is defined by $$[C](x,y):=H^{0}(C(x,y)).$$ Composition of morphisms in $[C]$ is given by the natural morphism $$[C](x,y)\times [C](y,z) = H^{0}(C(x,y)) \times H^{0}(C(x,y)) \longrightarrow H^{0}(C(x,y)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C(y,z)) \longrightarrow H^{0}(C(x,z))=[C](x,z).$$ The unit of an object $x$ in $[C]$ is simply given by the point in $[k,C(x,x)]=H^{0}(C(x,x))$ image of the unit morphism $k \longrightarrow C(x,x)$ in $M$. This construction, provides a functor $C \mapsto [C]$ from $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ to the category of $\mathbb{U}$-small categories. For a morphism $f : C \longrightarrow D$ in $dg-Cat$, we will denote by $[f] : [C] \longrightarrow [D]$ the corresponding morphism in $Cat$. \begin{df}\label{d1} Let $f : C \longrightarrow D$ be a morphism in $dg-Cat$. \begin{enumerate} \item The morphism $f$ is \emph{quasi-fully faithful} if for any two objects $x$ and $y$ in $C$ the morphism $f_{x,y} : C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is a quasi-isomorphism. \item The morphism $f$ is \emph{quasi-essentially surjective} if the induced functor $[f] : [C] \longrightarrow [D]$ is essentially surjective. \item The morphism $f$ is a \emph{quasi-equivalence} if it is quasi-fully faithful and quasi-essentially surjective. \item The morphism $f$ is a \emph{fibration} if it satisfies the following two conditions. \begin{enumerate} \item For any $x$ and $y$ in $C$ the morphism $f_{x,y} : C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is a fibration in $C(k)$ (i.e. is an epimorphism). \item For any $x\in C$, and any isomorphism $v : [f](x) \rightarrow y'$ in $[D]$, there exists an isomorphism $u : x \rightarrow y$ in $[C]$ such that $[f](u)=v$. \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate} \end{df} In \cite{tab} it is proved that the above notions of fibrations and quasi-equivalences in $dg-Cat$ form a model category structure. The model category $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ is furthermore $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated in the sense of \cite[Appendix]{hagI}. Moreover, for $\mathbb{U}\in \mathbb{V}$, the set of generators for the cofibrations and trivial cofibrations can be chosen to be the same for $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ and for $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. As a consequence we get that the natural inclusion functor $$Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$$ is fully faithful. This inclusion functor also induces natural equivalences on mapping spaces $$Map_{dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}}(C,D)\simeq Map_{dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}}(C,D),$$ for two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories $C$ and $D$. As a consequence we see that we can change our universe without any serious harm. Note also that the functor $$[-] : dg-Cat \longrightarrow Cat$$ induces a functor $$Ho(dg-Cat) \longrightarrow Ho(Cat),$$ where $Ho(Cat)$ is the category of small categories and isomorphism classes of functors between them. In other words, any morphism $C \rightarrow D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ induces a functor $[C] \rightarrow [D]$ well defined up to a non-unique isomorphism. This lack of uniqueness will not be so much of a trouble as we will essentially be interested in properties of functors which are invariant by isomorphisms (e.g. being fully faithful, being an equivalence \dots). \begin{df}\label{dqess} Let $f : C \longrightarrow D$ be a morphism of dg-categories. The \emph{quasi-essential image of $f$} is the full sub-dg-category of $D$ consisting of all objects $x\in D$ whose image in $[D]$ lies in the essential image of the functor $[f] : [C] \rightarrow [D]$. \end{df} The model category $dg-Cat$ also satisfies the following additional properties. \begin{prop}\label{p0} \begin{enumerate} \item Any object $C\in dg-Cat$ is fibrant. \item There exists a cofibrant replacement functor $Q$ on $dg-Cat$, such that for any $C\in dg-Cat$ the natural morphism $Q(C) \longrightarrow C$ induces the identity of the sets of objects. \item If $C$ is a cofibrant object in $dg-Cat$ and $x$ and $y$ are two objects in $C$, then $C(x,y)$ is a cofibrant object in $C(k)$. \end{enumerate} \end{prop} \textit{Sketch of proof:} $(1)$ is clear by definition. $(2)$ simply follows from the fact that one can choose the generating cofibrations $A\rightarrow B$ to induce the identity on the set of objects (see \cite{tab} for details). Finally, for $(3)$, one uses that any cofibrant object can be written as a transfinite composition of push-outs along the generating cofibrations. As the functor $C \mapsto C(x,y)$ commutes with filtered colimits, and that a filtered colimit of cofibrations stays a cofibration, one sees that it is enough to prove that the property $(3)$ is preserved by push-outs along a generating cofibration. But this can be easily checked by an explicit description of such a push-out (see \cite{tab} proof of Lem. 2.2. for more details). \hfill $\Box$ \\ To finish this paragraph, recall that a morphism $x \rightarrow y$ in a model category $M$ is called a \emph{homotopy monomorphism} if for any $z\in M$ the induced morphism $$Map_{M}(z,x) \longrightarrow Map_{M}(z,y)$$ induces an injection on $\pi_{0}$ and isomorphisms on all $\pi_{i}$ for $i>0$ (for all base points). This is also equivalent to say that the natural morphism $$x \longrightarrow x\times^{h}_{y}x$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$. The following lemma will be used implicitly in the sequel. \begin{lem}\label{lmono} A morphism $f : C \longrightarrow D$ in $dg-Cat$ is a homotopy monomorphism if and only if it is quasi-fully faithful. \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} We can of course suppose that the morphism $f$ is a fibration in $dg-Cat$. Then, $f$ is a homotopy monomorphism if and only if the induced morphism $$\Delta : C \longrightarrow C\times_{D}C$$ is a quasi-equivalence. Let us first assume that $f$ is quasi-fully faithful. For any $x$ and $y$ in $C$ the induced morphism by $\Delta$ is the diagonal of $C(x,y)$ $$\Delta(x,y) : C(x,y) \longrightarrow C(x,y)\times_{D(f(x),f(y))}C(x,y).$$ As $f$ is a fibration, the morphism $C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is a trivial fibration, and thus the morphism $\Delta(x,y)$ is a quasi-isomorphism. This shows that $\Delta$ is quasi-fully faithful. Now, let $t$ be an object in $C\times_{D}C$, corresponding to two points $x$ and $y$ in $C$ such that $f(x)=f(y)$. We consider the identity morphism $f(x) \rightarrow f(y)$ in $[D]$. As $[C] \rightarrow [D]$ is fully faithful, the identity can be lifted to an isomorphism in $[C]$ $u : x \rightarrow y$. Furthermore, as $C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is a fibration, the morphism $u$ can be represented by a zero cycle $u\in Z^{0}(C(x,y))$ whose image by $f$ is the identity. This implies that the point $t$ is isomorphic in $[C\times_{D}C]$ to the image of the point $x\in C$ by $\Delta$, and thus that $\Delta$ is quasi-essentially surjective. We have shown that $\Delta$ is a quasi-equivalence and therefore that $f$ is a homotopy monomorphism. Conversely, let us assume that $f$ is a homotopy monomorphism. Then, for any $x$ and $y$ in $C$ the natural morphism $$C(x,y) \longrightarrow C(x,y)\times_{D(f(x),f(y))}C(x,y)$$ is a quasi-isomorphism, and thus the morphism $C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is a homotopy monomorphism in $C(k)$. As $C(k)$ is a stable model category (see \cite[\S 7]{ho})this clearly implies that $C(x,y) \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))$ is in fact a quasi-isomorphism. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{clmono} Let $C \longrightarrow D$ be a quasi-fully faithful morphism in $dg-Cat$ and $B$ be any dg-category. Then, the induced morphism $$Map(B,C) \longrightarrow Map(B,D)$$ induces an injection on $\pi_{0}$ and an isomorphism on $\pi_{i}$ for $i>0$. Furthermore, the image of $$\pi_{0}(Map(B,C))=[B,C] \longrightarrow [B,D]=\pi_{0}(Map(B,D))$$ consists of all morphism such that the induced functor $[B] \rightarrow [D]$ factors through the essential image of $[C] \rightarrow [D]$. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Only the last statement requires a proof. For this we can of course assume that $B$ is cofibrant. Furthermore, one can replace $C$ by its quasi-essential image in $D$. The statement is then clear by the description of $[B,C]$ and $[B,D]$ as homotopy classes of morphisms between $B$ and $C$ or $D$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \section{Modules over dg-categories} Let $C \in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a fixed $\mathbb{U}$-small $dg$-category. Recall that a $\mathbb{U}$-small $C$-dg-module $F$ (or simply a $C$-module) consists of the following data. \begin{itemize} \item For any object $x\in C$ a complex $F(x)\in C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$. \item For any two objects $x$ and $y$ in $C$, a morphism of complexes $$ C(x,y)\otimes F(x) \longrightarrow F(y),$$ satisfying the usual associativity and unit conditions. \end{itemize} Note that a $C$-module is nothing else than a morphism of dg-categories $F : C \longrightarrow C(k)$, where $C(k)$ is a dg-category in the obvious way, or equivalently as a $C(k)$-enriched functor from $C$ to $C(k)$. For two $C$-dg-modules $F$ and $G$, a morphism from $F$ to $G$ is simply the data of morphisms $f_{x} : F(x) \longrightarrow G(x)$ commuting with the structure morphisms. This is nothing else than a $C(k)$-enriched natural transformation between the corresponding $C(k)$-enriched functors. The $\mathbb{U}$-small $C$-modules and morphisms between them form a category, denoted by $C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. Once again, when the universe $\mathbb{U}$ is irrelevant we will simply write $C-Mod$ for $C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. \\ Let $z\in C$ be an object in $C$. One defines a $C$-module $\underline{h}^{z}\in C-Mod$, by the formula $\underline{h}^{z}(x):=C(z,x)$, and with structure morphisms $$C(z,x)\otimes C(x,y) \longrightarrow C(z,y)$$ being the composition in $C$. \begin{df}\label{d2} Let $C\in dg-Cat$ and $f : F \longrightarrow G$ be a morphism of $C$-modules. The morphism $f$ is an \emph{equivalence} (resp. a \emph{fibration}) if for any $x\in C$ the morphism $$f_{x} : F(x) \longrightarrow G(x)$$ is an equivalence (resp. a fibration) in $C(k)$. \end{df} We recall that as $C(k)$ is cofibrantly generated, the above definition endows $C-Mod$ with a structure of a cofibrantly generated model category (see for example \cite[\S 11]{hi}). The natural $C(k)$-enrichment of $C-Mod$ endows furthermore $C-Mod$ with a structure of a $C(k)$-model category in the sense of \cite[4.2.18]{ho}. The $C(k)$-enriched $Hom$'s of the category $C-Mod$ will be denoted by $\underline{Hom}$, and its derived version by $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom} : Ho(C-Mod)^{op}\times Ho(C-Mod) \longrightarrow Ho(C(k)).$$ The notion of modules over dg-categories has the following natural generalization. Let $M$ be a $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-model category in the sense of \cite[4.2.18]{ho}, and let us suppose that it is $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated in the sense of \cite[Appendix A]{hagI}. Then, for a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category $C$ one has a category of $C(k)$-enriched functors $M^{C}$ from $C$ to $M$. Furthermore, it can be endowed with a structure of a $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated model category for which equivalences and fibrations are defined levelwise in $M$ (see e.g. \cite[11.6]{hi}). The category $M^{C}$ has itself a natural $C(k)$-enrichment induced from the one on $M$, making it into a $C(k)$-model category. When $M=C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$ itself, the model category $M^{C}$ can be identified with $C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. Let $f : C \longrightarrow D$ be a morphism in $dg-Cat$. Composing with $f$ gives a restriction functor $$f^{*} : M^{D} \longrightarrow M^{C}.$$ This functor has a left adjoint $$f_{!} : M^{C} \longrightarrow M^{D}.$$ The adjunction $(f_{!},f^{*})$ is clearly a Quillen adjunction, compatible with the $C(k)$-enrichment. \begin{prop}\label{p1} Let $f : C \longrightarrow D$ be a quasi-equivalence between $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories. Let $M$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated $C(k)$-model category, such that the domain and codomain of a set of generating cofibrations are cofibrant objects in $M$. We assume that one of the following conditions is satisfied. \begin{enumerate} \item For any cofibrant object $A\in M$, and any quasi-isomorphism $X \longrightarrow Y$ in $C(k)$, the induced morphism $$X\otimes A \longrightarrow Y\otimes A$$ is an equivalence in $M$. \item All the complexes of morphisms of $C$ and $D$ are cofibrant objects in $C(k)$. \end{enumerate} Then the Quillen adjunction $(f_{!},f^{*})$ is a Quillen equivalence. \end{prop} \textit{Proof:} The functor $f^{*}$ clearly preserves equivalences. Furthermore, as $f$ is quasi-essentially surjective, the functor $f^{*} : Ho(M^{D}) \longrightarrow Ho(M^{C})$ is easily seen to be conservative. Therefore, one is reduced to check that the adjunction morphism $Id\Rightarrow f^{*}\mathbb{L}f_{!} $ is an isomorphism. For $x\in C$, and $A\in M$, one writes $\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A \in M^{C}$ for the object defined by $$\begin{array}{cccc} \underline{h}^{x}\otimes A & C & \longrightarrow & M \\ & y & \mapsto & C(x,y)\otimes A. \end{array}$$ The model category $M^{C}$ is itself cofibrantly generated, and a set of generating cofibration can be chosen to consist of morphisms of the form $$\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A \longrightarrow \underline{h}^{x}\otimes B$$ for some generating cofibration $A\longrightarrow B$ in $M$. By assumption on $M$, any object $F\in Ho(M^{C})$ can thus be written as a homotopy colimit of objects of the form $\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A$, for certain cofibrant $A\in M$, and certain $x\in C$. As the two functors $f^{*}$ and $\mathbb{L}f_{!}$ commute with homotopy colimits it is then enough to show that the natural morphism $$\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A \longrightarrow f^{*}\mathbb{L}f_{!} (\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A) $$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M^{C})$. By adjunction, one clearly has $\mathbb{L}f_{!}(\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A)\simeq \underline{h}^{f(x)}\otimes A$. Therefore, the adjunction morphism $$\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A \longrightarrow f^{*}\mathbb{L}f_{!} (\underline{h}^{x}\otimes A)\simeq f^{*}(\underline{h}^{f(x)}\otimes A) $$ evaluated at $y\in C$ is the morphism $$f_{x,y}\otimes Id_{A} : C(x,y) \otimes A \longrightarrow D(f(x),f(y))\otimes A.$$ The fact that this is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$ follows from the fact that $f$ is quasi-fully faithful, one of our hypothesis $(1)$ and $(2)$, and the fact that $M$ is a $C(k)$-model category. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Another important property of the model category $M^{C}$ is the following. \begin{prop}\label{p2} Let $C$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category with cofibrant complexes of morphisms (i.e. $C(x,y)$ is cofibrant in $C(k)$ for all $x$ and $y$), and $M$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated $C(k)$-model category. Then, for any $x\in C$ the evaluation functor $$\begin{array}{cccc} x^{*} : & M^{C} & \longrightarrow & M \\ & F & \mapsto & F(x) \end{array}$$ preserves fibrations, cofibrations and equivalences. \end{prop} \textit{Proof:} For fibrations and equivalences this is clear by definition. The functor $x^{*}$ commutes with colimits, and thus by a small object argument one is reduced to show that $x^{*}$ sends generating cofibrations to cofibrations. One knows that the generating set of cofibrations in $M^{C}$ can be chosen to consist of morphisms of the form $\underline{h}^{z}\otimes A \longrightarrow \underline{h}^{z}\otimes B$ for some cofibration $A \longrightarrow B$ in $M$. The image by $x^{*}$ of such a morphism is $$C(z,x)\otimes A \longrightarrow C(z,x)\otimes B.$$ As by assumption $C(z,x)$ is a cofibrant object in $C(k)$, one sees that this morphism is a cofibration in $M$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Two important cases of application of proposition \ref{p2} is when $C$ itself is a cofibrant dg-category (see Prop. \ref{p0}), or when $k$ is a field. \\ \begin{cor}\label{cp2} The conclusion of Prop. \ref{p1} is satisfied when $M$ is of the form $D-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, for a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category $D$ with cofibrant complexes of morphisms (in particular for $M=C(k)$). \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This follows easily from Prop. \ref{p2} and the fact that $C(k)$ itself satisfies the hypothesis $(1)$ of Prop. \ref{p1}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Let $\mathbb{U} \in \mathbb{V}$ be two universes. Let $M$ be a $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-model category which is supposed to be furthermore $\mathbb{V}$-small. We define a $\mathbb{V}$-small dg-category $Int(M)$ in the following way\footnote{The notation \emph{Int} is taken from \cite{hs}. As far as I understand it stands for \emph{internal}.}. The set of objects of $Int(M)$ is the set of fibrant and cofibrant objects in $M$. For two such objects $F$ and $E$ one sets $$Int(M)(E,F):=\underline{Hom}(E,F)\in C(k)_{\mathbb{U}},$$ where $\underline{Hom}(E,F)$ is the $C(k)$-valued Hom of the category $M$. The dg-category $Int(M)$ is of course only $\mathbb{V}$-small as its sets of objects is only $\mathbb{V}$-small. However, for any $E$ and $F$ in $Int(M)$ the complex $Int(M)(E,F)$ is in fact $\mathbb{U}$-small. \\ The following is a general fact about $C(k)$-enriched model categories. \begin{prop}\label{p3} There exists a natural equivalence of categories $$[Int(M)]\simeq Ho(M).$$ \end{prop} \textit{Proof:} This follows from the formula $$H^{0}(\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(X,Y))\simeq [k,\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(X,Y)]_{C(k)}\simeq [X,Y]_{M},$$ for two objects $X$ and $Y$ in $M$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ For $x\in C$, the object $\underline{h}^{x} \in C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ is cofibrant and fibrant, and therefore the construction $x \mapsto \underline{h}^{x}$, provides a morphism of dg-categories $$\underline{h}^{-} : C^{op} \longrightarrow Int(C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}),$$ where $C^{op}$ is the opposite dg-category of $C$ ($C^{op}$ has the same set of objects than $C$ and $C^{op}(x,y):=C(y,x)$). The morphism $\underline{h}^{-}$ can also be written dually as $$\underline{h}_{-} : C \longrightarrow Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}).$$ The dg-functor $\underline{h}^{-}$ will be considered as a morphism in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$, and is clearly quasi-fully faithful by an application of the $C(k)$-enriched Yoneda lemma. \begin{df}\label{d3} \begin{enumerate} \item Let $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, and $F\in C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a $C^{op}$-module. The object $F$ is called \emph{representable} (resp. \emph{quasi-representable}) if it is isomorphic in $C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ (resp. in $Ho(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$) to $\underline{h}_{x}$ for some object $x\in C$. \item Dually, let $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, and $F\in C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a $C$-module. The object $F$ is called \emph{corepresentable} (resp. \emph{quasi-corepresentable}) if it is isomorphic in $C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ (resp. in $Ho(C-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$) to $\underline{h}^{x}$ for some object $x\in C$. \end{enumerate} \end{df} As the morphism $\underline{h}_{-}$ is quasi-fully faithful, it induces a quasi-equivalence between $C$ and the full dg-category of $Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ consisting of quasi-representable objects. This quasi-equivalence is a morphism in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. \\ \section{Mapping spaces and bi-modules} Let $C$ and $D$ be two objects in $dg-Cat$. One has a tensor product $C\otimes D \in dg-Cat$ defined in the following way. The set of objects of $C\otimes D$ is $Ob(C)\times Ob(D)$, and for $(x,y)$ and $(x',y')$ two objects in $Ob(C\otimes D)$ one sets $$(C\otimes D)((x,y),(x',y')):=C(x,y)\otimes D(x',y').$$ Composition in $C\otimes D$ is given by the obvious formula. This defines a symmetric monoidal structure on $dg-Cat$, which is easily seen to be closed. The unit of this structure will be denoted by $\mathbf{1}$, and is the dg-category with a unique object and $k$ as its endomorphism ring. The model category $dg-Cat$ together with the symmetric monoidal structure $-\otimes -$ is \emph{not} a symmetric monoidal model category, as the tensor product of two cofibrant objects in $dg-Cat$ is not cofibrant in general. A direct consequence of this fact is that the internal Hom object between cofibrant-fibrant objects in $dg-Cat$ can not be invariant by quasi-equivalences, and thus does not provide internal Hom's for the homotopy categories $Ho(dg-Cat)$. This fact is the main difficulty in computing the mapping spaces in $dg-Cat$, as the naive approach simply does not work. However, it is true that the monoidal structure $\otimes$ on $dg-Cat$ is closed, and that $dg-Cat$ has corresponding internal Hom objects $C^{D}$ satisfying the usual adjunction rule $$Hom_{dg-Cat}(A\otimes B,C)\simeq Hom(A,C^{B}).$$ This gives a natural equivalence of categories $$M^{C\otimes D}\simeq (M^{C})^{D}$$ for any $C(k)$-enriched category $M$. Furthermore, when $M$ is a $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated model category, this last equivalence is compatible with the model structures on both sides. \\ The functor $-\otimes -$ can be derived into a functor $$-\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} - : dg-Cat\times dg-Cat \longrightarrow dg-Cat$$ defined by the formula $$C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D:= Q(C)\otimes D$$ where $Q$ is a cofibrant replacement in $dg-Cat$ which acts by the identity on the sets of objects. Clearly, the functor $-\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} -$ preserves quasi-equivalences and passes through the homotopy categories $$-\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} - : Ho(dg-Cat)\times Ho(dg-Cat) \longrightarrow Ho(dg-Cat).$$ Note that when $C$ is cofibrant, one has a natural quasi-equivalence $C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D \longrightarrow C\otimes D$. We now consider $(C\otimes D^{op})-Mod$, the category of $(C\otimes D^{op})$-modules. For any object $x\in C$, there exists a natural morphism of dg-categories $D^{op} \longrightarrow (C\otimes D^{op})$ sending $y\in D$ to the object $(x,y)$, and $$D^{op}(y,z) \longrightarrow (C\otimes D^{op})((x,y),(x,z))= C(x,x)\otimes D^{op}(y,z)$$ being the tensor product of the unit $k \longrightarrow C(x,x)$ and the identity on $D^{op}(y,z)$. As $C$ and $Q(C)$ has the same set of objects, one sees that for any $x\in C$ one also gets a natural morphism of dg-categories $$i_{x} : D^{op} \longrightarrow Q(C)\otimes D^{op}=C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op}.$$ \begin{df}\label{d4} Let $C$ and $D$ be two dg-categories. An object $F \in (C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod$ is called \emph{right quasi-representable}, if for any $x\in C$, the $D^{op}$-module $i_{x}^{*}(F)\in D^{op}-Mod$ is quasi-representable in the sense of Def. \ref{d3}. \end{df} We now let $\mathbb{U}\in \mathbb{V}$ be two universes, and let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories. Let $\Gamma^{*}$ be a co-simplicial resolution functor in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ in the sense of \cite[\S 16.1]{hi}. Recall that $\Gamma^{*}$ is a functor from $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ to $dg-Cat^{\Delta}_{\mathbb{U}}$, equipped with a natural augmentation $\Gamma^{0} \longrightarrow Id$, and such the following two conditions are satisfied. \begin{itemize} \item For any $n$, and any $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ the morphism $\Gamma^{n}(C) \rightarrow C$ is a quasi-equivalence. \item For any $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, the object $\Gamma^{*}(C) \in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}^{\Delta}$ is cofibrant for the Reedy model structure. \item The morphism $\Gamma^{0}(C) \longrightarrow C$ is equal to $Q(C) \longrightarrow C$. \end{itemize} The left mapping space between $C$ and $D$ is by definition the $\mathbb{U}$-small simplicial set $$\begin{array}{cccc} Map^{l}(C,D):=Hom(\Gamma^{*}(C),D) : & \Delta^{op} & \longrightarrow & Set_{\mathbb{U}} \\ & [n] & \mapsto & Hom(\Gamma^{n}(C),D). \end{array}$$ Note that the mapping space $Map^{l}(C,D)$ defined above has the correct homotopy type as all objects are fibrant in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. For any $[n] \in \Delta$, one considers the (non-full) sub-category $\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$ of $(\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ defined in the following way. The objects of $\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$ are the $(\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op})$-modules $F$ such that $F$ is right quasi-representable, and for any $x\in \Gamma^{n}(C)$ the $D^{op}$-module $F(x,-)$ is cofibrant in $D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. The morphisms in $\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$ are simply the equivalences in $(\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. The nerve of the category $\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$ gives a $\mathbb{V}$-small simplicial set $N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D))$. For $[n] \rightarrow [m]$ a morphism in $\Delta$, one has a natural morphism of dg-categories $\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op} \longrightarrow \Gamma^{m}(C)\otimes D^{op}$, and thus a well defined morphism of simplicial sets $$N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{m}(C),D)) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D))$$ obtained by pulling back the modules from $\Gamma^{m}(C)\otimes D^{op}$ to $\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op}$. This defines a functor $$\begin{array}{cccc} N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D)) : & \Delta^{op} & \longrightarrow & SSet_{\mathbb{V}} \\ & [n] & \mapsto & N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)). \end{array}$$ The set of zero simplices in $N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D))$ is the set of all objects in the category $\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$. Therefore, one defines a natural morphism of sets $$Hom(\Gamma^{n}(C),D) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D))_{0}$$ by sending a morphism of dg-categories $f : \Gamma^{n}(C) \longrightarrow D$, to the $(\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op})$-module $\phi(f)$ defined by $\phi(f)(x,y):=D(y,f(x))$ and the natural transition morphisms. Note that $\phi(f)$ belongs to the sub-category $\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$ as for any $x\in \Gamma^{n}(C)$ the $D^{op}$-module $\phi(f)(x,-)=\underline{h}_{f(x)}$ is representable and thus quasi-representable and cofibrant. By adjunction, this morphism of sets can also be considered as a morphism of simplicial sets $$\phi : Hom(\Gamma^{n}(C),D) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)),$$ where the set $Hom(\Gamma^{n}(C),D)$ is considered as a constant simplicial set. This construction is clearly functorial in $n$, and gives a well defined morphism of bi-simplicial sets $$\phi : Hom(\Gamma^{*}(C),D) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D)).$$ Passing to the diagonal one gets a morphism in $SSet_{\mathbb{V}}$ $$\phi : Map^{l}(C,D) \longrightarrow d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))).$$ Finally, the diagonal $d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D)))$ receives a natural morphism $$\psi : N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{0}(C),D))=N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)) \longrightarrow d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))).$$ Clearly, the diagram of simplicial sets $$\xymatrix{ Map^{l}(C,D) \ar[r]^-{\phi} & d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))) & \ar[l]_-{\psi} N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D))}$$ is functorial in $C$. \\ The main theorem of this work is the following. \begin{thm}\label{t1} The two morphisms in $SSet_{\mathbb{V}}$ $$\xymatrix{ Map^{l}(C,D) \ar[r]^-{\phi} & d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))) & \ar[l]_-{\psi} N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D))}$$ are weak equivalences. \end{thm} \textit{Proof:} For any $n$, the morphism $\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op} \longrightarrow Q(C)\otimes D^{op}$ is a quasi-equivalence of dg-categories. Therefore, Prop. \ref{cp2} implies that the pull-back functor $$(Q(C)\otimes D^{op})-Mod \longrightarrow (\Gamma^{n}(C)\otimes D^{op})-Mod$$ is the right adjoint of a Quillen equivalence. As these functors obviously preserve the notion of being right quasi-representable, one finds that the induced morphism $$N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{n}(C),D))$$ is a weak equivalence. This clearly implies that the morphism $\psi$ is a weak equivalence. It remains to show that the morphism $\phi$ is also a weak equivalence. For this, we start by proving that it induces an isomorphism on connected components. \begin{lem}\label{lt1} The induced morphism $$\pi_{0}(\phi) : [C,D]\simeq \pi_{0}(Map^{l}(C,D))\longrightarrow \pi_{0}(d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))))$$ is an isomorphism. \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} First of all, replacing $C$ by $Q(C)$ one can suppose that $Q(C)=C$ (one can do this because of Prop. \ref{cp2}). One then has $\pi_{0}(Map^{l}(C,D))\simeq [C,D]$, and $\pi_{0}(d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))))\simeq \pi_{0}(N(\mathcal{M}(C,D)))$ is the set of isomorphism classes in $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod)^{rqr}$, the full sub-category of $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod)$ consisting of all right quasi-representable objects. The morphism $\phi$ naturally gives a morphism $$\phi : [C,D] \longrightarrow Iso(Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod)^{rqr})$$ which can be described as follows. For any $f\in [C,D]$, represented by $f : C \longrightarrow D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat)$, $\phi(f)$ is the $C\otimes D^{op}$-module defined by $\phi(f)(x,y):=D(y,f(x))$. \begin{sublem}\label{sl2} With the same notations as above, let $M$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-model category, which is furthermore $\mathbb{V}$-small. Let $Iso(Ho(M^{C}))$ be the set of isomorphism classes of objects in $Ho(M^{C})$. Then, the natural morphism $$Hom(C,Int(M)) \longrightarrow Iso(Ho(M^{C}))$$ is surjective. \end{sublem} \textit{Proof of sub-lemma \ref{sl2}:} Of course, the morphism $$Hom(C,Int(M)) \longrightarrow Iso(Ho(M^{C}))$$ sends a morphism of dg-categories $C \longrightarrow Int(M)$ to the corresponding object in $M^{C}$. Let $F\in Ho(M^{C})$ be a any cofibrant and fibrant object. This object is given by a $C(k)$-enriched functor $F : C \longrightarrow M$. Furthermore, as $F$ is fibrant and cofibrant, Prop. \ref{p2} tells us that $F(x)$ is fibrant and cofibrant in $M$ for any $x\in C$. The object $F$ can therefore be naturally considered as a morphism of $\mathbb{V}$-small dg-categories $$F : C \longrightarrow Int(M),$$ which gives an element in $Hom(C,Int(M))$ sent to $F$ by the map of the lemma. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Let us now prove that the morphism $\phi$ is surjective on connected component. For this, let $F\in Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ be a right quasi-representable object. One needs to show that $F$ is isomorphic to some $\phi(f)$ for some morphism of dg-categories $f : C \longrightarrow D$. Sub-lemma \ref{sl2} applied to $M=D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ implies that $F$ corresponds to a morphism of $\mathbb{V}$-small dg-categories $$F : C \longrightarrow Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{qr},$$ where $Int(D^{op}-Mod)^{qr}$ is the full sub-dg-category of $Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ consisting of all quasi-representable objects. One has a diagram in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$ $$\xymatrix{ C \ar[r]^-{F} & Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{qr} \\ & D \ar[u]_-{\underline{h}}.}$$ As the morphism $\underline{h}$ is a quasi-equivalence, and as $C$ is cofibrant, one finds a morphism of dg-categories $f : C \longrightarrow D$, such that the two morphisms $$F : C \longrightarrow Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{qr} \qquad \underline{h}_{f(-)}=\phi(f) : C \longrightarrow Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{qr}$$ are homotopic in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. Let $$\xymatrix{ C \ar[d]_-{i_{0}}\ar[rd]^-{F} & \\ C' \ar[r]^-{H} & Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{qr} \\ C\ar[u]^-{i_{1}} \ar[ru]_-{\phi(f)} & }$$ be a homotopy in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. Note that $C'$ is a cylinder object for $C$, and thus can be chosen to be cofibrant and $\mathbb{U}$-small. We let $p : C' \longrightarrow C$ the natural projection, such that $p\circ i_{0}=p\circ i_{1}=Id$. This diagram gives rise to an equivalence of categories (by Prop. \ref{cp2}) $$i_{0}^{*}\simeq i_{1}^{*}\simeq (p^{*})^{-1} : Ho((C'\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}).$$ Furthermore, one has $$F\simeq i_{0}^{*}(H)\simeq i_{1}^{*}(H)\simeq \phi(f).$$ This shows that the two $C\otimes D^{op}$-modules $F$ and $\phi(f)$ are isomorphic in $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$, or in other words that $\phi(f)=F$ in $Iso(Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}))$. This finishes the proof of the surjectivity part of the lemma \ref{lt1}. \\ Let us now prove that $\phi$ is injective. For this, let $f,g : C \longrightarrow D$ be two morphisms of dg-categories, such that the two $(C\otimes D^{op})$-modules $\phi(f)$ and $\phi(g)$ are isomorphic in $Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}))$. Composing $f$ and $g$ with $$\underline{h} : D \longrightarrow Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$$ one gets two new morphisms of dg-categories $$f',g' : C \longrightarrow Int(D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}).$$ Using that $\underline{h}$ is quasi-fully faithful Cor. \ref{clmono} implies that if $f'$ and $g'$ are homotopic morphisms in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$, then $f$ and $g$ are equal as morphisms in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$. As the inclusion $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ is fully faithful (see remark after Def. \ref{d1}), we see it is enough to show that $f'$ and $g'$ are homotopic in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. \begin{sublem}\label{sl1} Let $M$ be a $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-model category which is $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated and $\mathbb{V}$-small. Let $u$ and $v$ be two morphisms in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$ $$u,v : C \longrightarrow Int(M)$$ such that the corresponding objects in $Ho(M^{C})$ are isomorphic. Then $u$ and $v$ are homotopic as morphisms in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. \end{sublem} \textit{Proof of sub-lemma \ref{sl1}:} First of all, any isomorphism in $Ho(M^{C})$ between levelwise cofibrant and fibrant objects can be represented as a string of trivial cofibrations and trivial fibrations between levelwise cofibrant and fibrant objects. Therefore, sub-lemma \ref{sl2} shows that one is reduced to the case where there exists an equivalence $\alpha : u \longrightarrow v$ in $M^{C}$ which is either a fibration or a cofibration. Let us start with the case where $\alpha$ is a cofibration in $M^{C}$. The morphism $\alpha$ can also be considered as an object in $(M^{I})^{C}$, where $I$ is the category with two objects $0$ and $1$ and a unique morphism $0\rightarrow 1$. The category $M^{I}$, which is the category of morphisms in $M$, is endowed with its projective model structure, for which fibrations and equivalences are defined on the underlying objects in $M$. As the morphism $\alpha$ is a cofibration in $M^{C}$, we see that for $x\in C$ the corresponding morphism $\alpha_{x} : u(x) \rightarrow v(x)$ is a cofibration in $M$, and thus is a cofibrant (and fibrant) object in $M^{I}$ because of proposition \ref{p2}. This implies that $\alpha$ gives rise to a morphism of dg-categories $$\alpha : C \longrightarrow Int(M^{I}).$$ Now, let $Int(M) \longrightarrow Int(M^{I})$ be the natural inclusion morphism, sending a cofibrant and fibrant object in $M$ to the identity morphism. This a morphism in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$ which is easily seen to be quasi-fully faithful. We let $C'\subset Int(M^{I})$ be the quasi-essential image of $Int(M)$ in $Int(M^{I})$. It is easy to check that $C'$ is the full sub-dg-category of $Int(M^{I})$ consisting of all objects in $M^{I}$ corresponding to equivalences in $M$. The morphism $\alpha : C \longrightarrow Int(M^{I})$ thus factors through the sub-dg-category $C'\subset Int(M^{I})$. The two objects $0$ and $1$ of $I$ give two projections $$C' \subset Int(M^{I}) \rightrightarrows Int(M),$$ both of them having the natural inclusion $Int(M) \longrightarrow Int(M^{I})$ as a section. We have thus constructed a commutative diagram in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$ $$\xymatrix{ & Int(M) \\ C \ar[r]^-{\alpha} \ar[ru]^-{u} \ar[rd]_-{v} & C' \ar[u] \ar[d] \\ & Int(M)}$$ which provides a homotopy between $u$ and $v$ in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. For the case where $\alpha$ is a fibration in $M^{C}$, one uses the same argument, but endowing $M^{I}$ with its injective model structure, for which equivalences and cofibrations are defined levelwise. We leave the details to the reader. \hfill $\Box$ \\ We have finished the proof of sub-lemma \ref{sl1}, which applied to $M=D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ finishes the proof of the injectivity on connected components, and thus of lemma \ref{lt1}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ In order to finish the proof of the theorem, one uses the functoriality of the morphisms $\phi$ and $\psi$ with respect to $D$. First of all, the simplicial set $Map^{l}(C,D)=Hom(\Gamma^{*}(C),D)$ is obviously functorial in $D$. One thus has a functor $$\begin{array}{cccc} Map^{l}(C,-) : & dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}} & \longrightarrow & SSet_{\mathbb{V}} \\ & D & \mapsto & Map^{l}(C,D). \end{array}$$ The functoriality of $N(\mathcal{M}(C,D))$ in $D$ is slightly more complicated. Let $u : D \longrightarrow E$ a morphism in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. One has a functor $$(Id\otimes u_{!}) : (C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}} \longrightarrow (C\otimes E^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}.$$ This functor can also be described as $$(u_{!})^{C} : (D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{C} \longrightarrow (E^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})^{C},$$ the natural extension of the functor $u_{!} : D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}} \longrightarrow E^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. Clearly, the functor $(u_{!})^{C}$ sends the sub-category $\mathcal{M}(C,D)$ to the sub-category $\mathcal{M}(C,E)$ (here one uses that $(u_{!})^{C}$ preserves equivalences because the object $F\in \mathcal{M}(C,D)$ are such that $F(x,-)$ is cofibrant in $D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$). Unfortunately, this does not define a presheaf of categories $\mathcal{M}(C,-)$ on $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, as for two morphisms $$\xymatrix{ D \ar[r]^-{u} & E \ar[r]^-{v} & F}$$ of dg-categories one only has a natural isomorphism $(v\circ u)_{!}\simeq (v_{!})\circ u_{!}$ which in general is not an identity. However, these natural isomorphisms makes $D \mapsto \mathcal{M}(C,D)$ into a lax functor from $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ to $Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. Using the standard rectification procedure, one can replace up to a natural equivalence the lax functor $\mathcal{M}(C,-)$ by a true presheaf of categories $\mathcal{M}'(C,-)$. Furthermore, the natural morphism $$Hom(C,D) \longrightarrow \mathcal{M}(C,D)$$ from the set of morphisms $Hom(C,D)$, considered as a discrete category, to the category $\mathcal{M}(C,D)$ clearly gives a morphism of lax functors $$Hom(C,-) \longrightarrow \mathcal{M}(C,-).$$ By rectification this also induces a natural morphism of presheaves of categories $$Hom(C,-) \longrightarrow \mathcal{M}'(C,-).$$ Passing to the nerve one gets a morphism of functors from $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ to $SSet_{\mathbb{V}}$ $$Hom(C,-) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}'(C,-)).$$ This morphism being functorial in $C$ give a diagram in $(SSet_{\mathbb{V}})^{dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}}$ $$\xymatrix{ Map^{l}(C,-)=Hom(\Gamma^{*}(C),-) \ar[r]^-{\phi'} & d(N(\mathcal{M}'(\Gamma^{*}(C),-))) & \ar[l]_-{\psi'} N(\mathcal{M}'(Q(C),-)).}$$ These morphisms, evaluated at an object $D\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ gives a diagram of simplicial sets $$\xymatrix{ Map^{l}(C,D) \ar[r] & d(N(\mathcal{M}'(\Gamma^{*}(C),D)) & \ar[l] N(\mathcal{M}'(Q(C),D)),}$$ weakly equivalent to the diagram $$\xymatrix{ Map^{l}(C,D) \ar[r] & d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D)) & \ar[l] N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)).}$$ In order to finish the proof of the theorem it is therefore enough to show that the two morphism $\phi'$ and $\psi'$ are weak equivalences of diagrams of simplicial sets. We already know that $\psi'$ is a weak equivalence, and thus we obtain a morphism well defined in $Ho((SSet_{\mathbb{V}})^{dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}})$ $$k : (\psi')^{-1}\circ \phi : Map^{l}(C,-) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}'(Q(C),-)).$$ Using our corollary \ref{cp2} it is easy to see that the functor $N(\mathcal{M}'(Q(C),-))$ sends quasi-equivalences to weak equivalences. Furthermore, the standard properties of mapping spaces imply that so does the functor $Map^{l}(C,-)$. \begin{sublem}\label{sl3} Let $k : F \longrightarrow G$ be a morphism in $(SSet_{\mathbb{V}})^{dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}}$. Assume the following conditions are satisfied. \begin{enumerate} \item Both functors $F$ and $G$ send quasi-equivalences to weak equivalences. \item For any diagram in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ $$\xymatrix{ & C\ar[d]^-{p} \\ D \ar[r] &E}$$ with $p$ a fibration, the commutative diagrams $$\xymatrix{ F(C\times_{E}D) \ar[r] \ar[d] & F(C) \ar[d] & & & G(C\times_{E}D) \ar[r] \ar[d] & G(C) \ar[d] \\ F(D) \ar[r] & F(E) & & & G(D) \ar[r] & G(E)}$$ are homotopy cartesian. \item $F(*)\simeq G(*)\simeq *$, where $*$ is the final object in $dg-Cat$. \item For any $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ the morphism $k_{C} : \pi_{0}(F(C)) \longrightarrow \pi_{0}(G(C))$ is an isomorphism. \end{enumerate} Then, for any $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ the natural morphism $$k_{C} : F(C) \longrightarrow G(C)$$ is a weak equivalence. \end{sublem} \textit{Proof of sub-lemma \ref{sl3}:} Condition $(1)$ implies that the induced functors $$Ho(F),Ho(G) : Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{V}})$$ have natural structures of $Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$-enriched functors (see for example \cite[Thm. 2.3.5]{hagI}). In particular, for any $K\in Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$, and any $C\in Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ one has natural morphisms in $Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$ $$F(C^{\mathbb{R}K})\longrightarrow Map(K,F(C)) \qquad G(C^{\mathbb{R}K})\longrightarrow Map(K,G(C)).$$ Our hypothesis $(2)$ and $(3)$ tells us that when $K$ is a finite simplicial set, these morphisms are in fact isomorphisms, as the object $C^{\mathbb{R}K}$ can be functorially constructed using successive homotopy products and homotopy fiber products. Therefore, conditions $(4)$ implies that for any finite $K\in Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$ and any $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, the morphism $k_{C}$ induces an isomorphism $$k_{C^{\mathbb{R}K}} : \pi_{0}(F(C^{\mathbb{R}K}))\simeq [K,F(C)] \longrightarrow [K,G(C)]\simeq \pi_{0}(G(C^{\mathbb{R}K})).$$ This of course implies that $F(C) \longrightarrow G(C)$ is a weak equivalence. \hfill $\Box$ \\ In order to finish the proof of theorem \ref{t1} it remains to show that the two functors $Map^{l}(C,-)$ and $N(\mathcal{M}'(Q(C),-))$ satisfy the conditions of sub-lemma \ref{sl3}. The case of $Map^{l}(C,-)$ is clear by the standard properties of mapping spaces (see \cite[\S 5.4]{ho} or \cite[\S 17]{hi}). It only remains to show property $(2)$ of sub-lemma \ref{sl3} for the functor $N(\mathcal{M}'(Q(C),-))$. \begin{sublem}\label{sl5} Let $C$ be a cofibrant $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category, and let $$\xymatrix{ D \ar[r]^-{u} \ar[d]_-{v} & D_{1} \ar[d]^-{p} \\ D_{2} \ar[r]_-{q} & D_{3}}$$ be a cartesian diagram in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ with $p$ a fibration. Then, the square $$\xymatrix{ N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D)) \ar[r] \ar[d] & N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{1})) \ar[d] \\ N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{2})) \ar[r] & N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{3}))}$$ is homotopy cartesian. \end{sublem} \textit{Proof:} We start by showing that the morphism $$N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D)) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{1}))\times^{h}_{N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{3}))} N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{2}))$$ induces an injection on $\pi_{0}$ and an isomorphism on all $\pi_{i}$ for $i>0$. For this, we consider the induced diagram of dg-categories $$\xymatrix{ C\otimes D^{op} \ar[r]^-{u} \ar[d]_-{v} & C\otimes D^{op}_{1} \ar[d]^-{p} \\ C\otimes D^{op}_{2} \ar[r]_-{q} & C\otimes D^{op}_{3},}$$ where we keep the same names for the induced morphisms after tensoring with $C$. It is then enough to show that for $F$ and $G$ in $\mathcal{M}(C,D)$ the square of path spaces $$\xymatrix{ \Omega_{F,G}N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D)) \ar[r] \ar[d] & \Omega_{u_{!}F,u_{!}G}N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{1})) \ar[d] \\ \Omega_{v_{!}F,v_{!}G}N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{2})) \ar[r] & \Omega_{w_{!}F,w_{!}G}N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{3})),}$$ is homotopy cartesian (where $w=p\circ u$). Using the natural equivalence between path spaces in nerves of sub-categories of equivalences in model categories and mapping spaces of equivalences (see \cite{dk}, and also \cite[Appendix A]{hagII}), one finds that the previous diagram is in fact equivalent to the following one $$\xymatrix{ Map^{eq}(F,G) \ar[r] \ar[d] & Map^{eq}(u_{!}F,u_{!}G) \ar[d] \\ Map^{eq}(v_{!}F,v_{!}G) \ar[r] & Map^{eq}(w_{!}F,w_{!}G),}$$ where $Map^{eq}$ denotes the sub-simplicial set of the mapping spaces consisting of all connected components corresponding to equivalences. By adjunction, this last diagram is equivalent to $$\xymatrix{ Map^{eq}(F,G) \ar[r] \ar[d] & Map^{eq}(F,u^{*}u_{!}G) \ar[d] \\ Map^{eq}(F,v^{*}v_{!}G) \ar[r] & Map^{eq}(F,w^{*}w_{!}G).}$$ Therefore, to show that this last square is homotopy cartesian, it is enough to prove that for any $G\in \mathcal{M}(C,D)$ the natural morphism $$G\longrightarrow u^{*}u_{!}G \times^{h}_{w^{*}w_{!}G}v^{*}v_{!}G$$ is an equivalence in $C \otimes D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. As this can be tested by fixing some object $x\in C$ and considering the corresponding morphism $$G(x,-)\longrightarrow (u^{*}u_{!}G \times^{h}_{w^{*}w_{!}G}v^{*}v_{!}G)(x,-)$$ in $D^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, we see that one can assume that $C=\mathbf{1}$. One can then write $G=\underline{h}_{x}$ for some point $x\in D$. For $z\in D$, one has natural isomorphisms $$u^{*}u_{!}G(z)=D_{1}(u(z),u(x)) \qquad v^{*}v_{!}G(z)=D_{2}(v(z),v(x)) \qquad w^{*}w_{!}G(z)=D_{3}(w(z),w(x)).$$ We therefore find that for any $z\in D$ the morphism $$G(z)\longrightarrow (u^{*}u_{!}G \times^{h}_{w^{*}w_{!}G}v^{*}v_{!}G)(z)$$ can be written as $$D(z,x)\longrightarrow D_{1}(u(z),u(x)) \times_{D_{3}(w(z),w(x))}^{h} D_{2}(v(z),v(x)),$$ which by assumption on the morphism $p$ is a quasi-isomorphism of complexes. This implies that the morphism $$G\longrightarrow u^{*}u_{!}G \times^{h}_{w^{*}w_{!}G}v^{*}v_{!}G$$ is an equivalence, and thus that $$N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D)) \longrightarrow N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{1}))\times^{h}_{N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{3}))} N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{2}))$$ induces an injection on $\pi_{0}$ and an isomorphisms on all $\pi_{i}$ for $i>0$. It only remains to show that the above morphism is also surjective on connected components. The set $\pi_{0}(N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{1}))\times^{h}_{N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{3}))} N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{2})))$ can be described in the following way. We consider a category $\mathcal{N}$ whose objects are 5-tuples $(F_{1},F_{2},F_{3};a,b)$, with $F_{i}\in \mathcal{M}(C,D_{i})$ and where $a$ and $b$ are two morphisms in $\mathcal{M}(C,D_{3})$ $$a : p_{!}(F_{1}) \longrightarrow F_{3} \longleftarrow q_{!}(F_{2}) : b.$$ Morphisms in $\mathcal{N}$ are defined in the obvious way, as morphisms $F_{i} \rightarrow G_{i}$ in $\mathcal{M}(C,D_{i})$, commuting with the morphisms $a$ and $b$. It is not hard to check that $\pi_{0}(N(\mathcal{N}))$ is naturally isomorphic to $\pi_{0}(N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{1}))\times^{h}_{N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{3}))} N(\mathcal{M}'(C,D_{2})))$. Furthermore, the natural map $$\pi_{0}(N(\mathcal{M}(C,D))) \longrightarrow \pi_{0}(N(\mathcal{N}))$$ is induced by the functor $\mathcal{M}(C,D) \longrightarrow \mathcal{N}$ that sends an object $F\in \mathcal{M}(C,D)$ to $(u_{!}F,v_{!}F,w_{!}F;a,b)$ where $a$ and $b$ are the two natural isomorphisms $$p_{!}u_{!}(F) \simeq w_{!}(F)\simeq q_{!}v_{!}(F).$$ Now, let $(F_{1},F_{2},F_{3};a,b) \in \mathcal{N}$, and let us define an object $F\in Ho((C\otimes D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ by the following formula $$F:=u^{*}(F_{1})\times^{h}_{w^{*}(F_{3})}v^{*}(F_{1}).$$ Clearly, one has natural morphisms in $Ho(C\otimes D_{i}^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ $$\mathbb{L}u_{!}(F)\rightarrow F_{1} \qquad \mathbb{L}v_{!}(F)\rightarrow F_{2} \qquad \mathbb{L}w_{!}(F)\rightarrow F_{3}.$$ We claim that $F$ is right quasi-representable and that these morphisms are in fact isomorphisms. This will clearly finish the proof of the surjectivity on connected components. For this one can clearly assume that $C=\mathbf{1}$. One can then write $F_{i}=\underline{h}_{x_{i}}$, for some $x_{i}\in D_{i}$. As $p$ is a fibration, the equivalence $$a : p_{!}(\underline{h}_{x_{1}})=\underline{h}_{p(x_{1})} \longrightarrow \underline{h}_{x_{3}}$$ can be lifted to an equivalence $\underline{h}_{x_{1}} \longrightarrow \underline{h}_{x_{1}'}$ in $D^{op}_{1}-Mod$. Replacing $x_{1}$ by $x_{1}'$ one can suppose that $p(x_{1})=x_{3}$ and $a=id$. In the same way, the equivalence $$b : q_{!}(\underline{h}_{x_{2}}) \longrightarrow\underline{h}_{p(x_{1})}$$ can be lifted to an equivalence $\underline{h}_{x_{1}''} \longrightarrow \underline{h}_{x_{1}}$ in $D^{op}_{1}-Mod$. Thus, replacing $x_{1}$ by $x_{1}''$ one can suppose that $q(x_{2})=p(x_{1})=x_{3}$ and that $a$ and $b$ are the identity morphisms. Then, clearly $F\simeq \underline{h}_{x}$, where $x\in D$ is the point given by $(x_{1},x_{2},x_{3})$. This shows that $F$ is right quasi-representable, and also that the natural morphisms $$u_{!}(F)\rightarrow F_{1} \qquad v_{!}(F)\rightarrow F_{2} \qquad w_{!}(F)\rightarrow F_{3}$$ are equivalences. \hfill $\Box$ \\ We have now finished the proof of sub-lemma \ref{sl5} and thus of theorem \ref{t1}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Recall that $\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)$ has been defined as the category of equivalences between right quasi-representable $Q(C)\otimes D^{op}$-modules $F$ such that $F(x,-)$ is cofibrant in $D^{op}-Mod$ for any $x\in C$. This last condition is only technical and useful for functorial reasons and does not affect the nerve. Indeed, let $\mathcal{F}(Q(C),D)$ be the category of all equivalences between right quasi-representable $(Q(C)\otimes D^{op})$-modules. The natural inclusion functor $$\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D) \longrightarrow \mathcal{F}(Q(C),D)$$ induces a weak equivalence on the corresponding nerves as there exists a functor in the other direction just by taking a cofibrant replacement (note that a cofibrant $(Q(C)\otimes D^{op})$-module $F$ is such that $F(x,-)$ is cofibrant for any $x\in Q(C)$, because of Prop. \ref{p2}). In particular, theorem \ref{t1} implies the existence of a string of weak equivalences $$\xymatrix{ Map^{l}(C,D) \ar[r] & d(N(\mathcal{M}(\Gamma^{*}(C),D))) & \ar[l] N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)) \ar[r] & N(\mathcal{F}(Q(C),D)).}$$ The following corollary is a direct consequence of theorem \ref{t1} and the above remark. \begin{cor}\label{ct1} Let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories. Then, there exists a functorial bijection between the set of maps $[C,D]$ in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$, and the set of isomorphism classes of right quasi-representable objects in $Ho((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$. \end{cor} Another important corollary of Theorem \ref{t1} is the following. \begin{cor}\label{ct1'} Let $C$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories. Then, there exists a functorial isomorphism between the set $[\mathbf{1},C]$ and the set of isomorphism classes of the category $[C]$. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} The Yoneda embedding $\underline{h} : C \longrightarrow Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ induces a fully faithful functor $$[C] \longrightarrow [Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})].$$ The essential image of this functor clearly is the sub-category of quasi-representable $C^{op}$-modules. Therefore, $[\underline{h}]$ induces a natural bijection between the isomorphism classes of $[C]$ and the isomorphism classes of quasi-representable objects in $[Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})]$. As one has a natural equivalence $[Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})]\simeq Ho(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ corollary \ref{ct1} implies the result. \hfill $\Box$ \\ More generally, one can describe the higher homotopy groups of the mapping spaces by the following formula. \begin{cor}\label{cint} Let $C$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category, and $x\in C$ be an object. Then, one has natural isomorphisms of groups $$\pi_{1}(Map(\mathbf{1},C),x)\simeq Aut_{[C]}(x) \qquad \pi_{i}(Map(\mathbf{1},C),x)\simeq H^{1-i}(C(x,x)) \; \forall \; i>1.$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} We use the general formula $$\pi_{1}(N(W),x)\simeq Aut_{Ho(M)}(x) \qquad \pi_{i}(N(W),x)\simeq \pi_{i-1}(Map_{M}(x,x),Id) \; \forall \; i>1,$$ for a model category $M$, its sub-category of equivalences $W$ and a point $x\in M$ (see e.g. \cite[Cor. A.0.4]{hagII}). Applied to $M=C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ and using theorem \ref{t1} one finds $$\pi_{1}(Map(\mathbf{1},C),x)\simeq Aut_{Ho(C^{op}-Mod)}(\underline{h}_{x}) \qquad \pi_{i}(Map(\mathbf{1},C),x)\simeq \pi_{i-1}(Map_{C^{op}-Mod}(\underline{h}_{x},\underline{h}_{x}),Id) \; \forall \; i>1.$$ Using that the morphism $\underline{h}$ is quasi-fully faithful one finds $$Aut_{Ho(C^{op}-Mod)}(\underline{h}_{x}) \simeq Aut_{[C]}(x) \qquad \pi_{i-1}(Map_{C^{op}-Mod}(\underline{h}_{x},\underline{h}_{x}),Id)\simeq H^{1-i}(C(x,x)).$$ \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{ct1''} Let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories. Let $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})$ be the full sub-dg-category of $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ consisting of all right quasi-representable objects. Then, $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})$ is isomorphic in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ to a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Indeed, we know by corollary \ref{ct1} that the set of isomorphism classes of $[Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})]$ is essentially $\mathbb{U}$-small, as it is in bijection with $[C,D]$. Let us choose an essentially $\mathbb{U}$-small full sub-dg-category $E$ in $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})$ which contains a set of representatives of isomorphism classes of objects. As we already know that the complexes of morphisms in $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})$ are $\mathbb{U}$-small, the dg-category $E$ is essentially $\mathbb{U}$-small, and thus isomorphic to a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category. As $E$ is quasi-equivalent to $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})$ this implies the result. \hfill $\Box$ \\ We finish by the following last corollary. \begin{cor}\label{cint2} Let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories, and let $f,g : C \longrightarrow D$ be two morphisms with corresponding $(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})$-modules $\phi(f)$ and $\phi(g)$. Then, there exists a natural weak equivalence of simplicial sets $$\Omega_{f,g}Map_{dg-Cat}(C,D)\simeq Map_{(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})-Mod}^{eq}(\phi(f),\phi(g)),$$ where $Map^{eq}(\phi(f),\phi(g))$ is the sub-simplicial set of $Map(\phi(f),\phi(g))$ consisting of equivalences. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This follows immediately from theorem \ref{t1} and the standard relations between path spaces of nerves of equivalences in a model category and its mapping spaces (see e.g. \cite[Appendix A]{hagII}). \hfill $\Box$ \\ \section{The simplicial structure} Let $K\in SSet_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small simplicial set and $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. One can form the derived tensor product $K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C \in Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$, as well as the derived exponential $C^{\mathbb{R}K}$. One has the usual adjunction isomorphism $$[K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D]\simeq [C,D^{\mathbb{R}K}]\simeq [K,Map(C,D)].$$ Let $\Delta(K)$ be the simplex category of $K$. An object of $\Delta(K)$ is therefore a pair $(n,a)$ with $n\in \Delta$ and $x\in K_{n}$. A morphism $(n,x) \rightarrow (m,y)$ is the data of a morphism $u : [n] \rightarrow [m]$ in $\Delta$ such that $u^{*}(y)=x$. The simplicial set $K$ is then naturally weakly equivalent to the homotopy colimit of the constant diagram $$\Delta(K) \longrightarrow * \in SSet.$$ In other words, one has a natural weak equivalence $$N(\Delta(K))\simeq K.$$ We now consider $\Delta(K)_{k}$ the $k$-linear category freely generated by the category $\Delta(K)$, and consider $\Delta(K)_{k}$ as an object in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. \begin{thm}\label{p5} Let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories, and $K\in SSet_{\mathbb{U}}$. Then, there exists a functorial injective map $$[K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D] \longrightarrow [\Delta(K)_{k}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D].$$ Moreover, the image of this map consists exactly of all morphism $\Delta(K)_{k}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C\longrightarrow D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ such that for any $c\in C$ the induced functor $$\Delta(K)_{k} \longrightarrow [D]$$ sends all morphisms in $\Delta(K)_{k}$ to isomorphisms in $[D]$. \end{thm} \textit{Proof:} Using our theorem \ref{t1} one finds natural equivalences $$[K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D]\simeq [K,Map(C,D)]\simeq [K,N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D))].$$ We then use the next technical lemma. \begin{lem}\label{lp5} Let $M$ be a $\mathbb{V}$-small $\mathbb{U}$-combinatorial model category and $K\in SSet_{\mathbb{U}}$. Let $W\subset M$ be the sub-category of equivalences in $M$. Then, there exists a natural bijection between $[K,N(W)]_{SSet_{\mathbb{V}}}$ and the set of isomorphism classes of objects $F \in Ho(M^{\Delta(K)})$ corresponding to functors $F : \Delta(K) \longrightarrow M$ sending all morphisms of $\Delta(K)$ to equivalences in $M$. \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} First of all, the lemma is invariant by changing $M$ up to a Quillen equivalence, and thus by \cite{du} one can suppose that $M$ is a simplicial model category. The proof of the lemma will use some techniques of simplicial localizations \`a la Dwyer-Kan, as well as some result about $S$-categories. We start by a short digression on the subject. We recall the existence of a model category of $S$-categories, as shown in \cite{be}, and which is similar to the one we use on dg-categories. This model category will be denoted by $S-Cat$ (or $S-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$ if one needs to specify the universe). For any $\mathbb{V}$-small category $C$ with a sub-category $S\subset C$, one can form a $\mathbb{V}$-small $S$-category $L(C,S)$ by formally inverting the morphisms in $S$ in a homotopy meaningful way (see e.g. \cite{dk2}). Using the language of model categories, this means that for any $\mathbb{V}$-small $S$-category $T$, there exists functorial isomorphisms between $[L(C,S),T]_{S-Cat}$ and the subset of $[C,T]_{S-Cat}$ consisting of all morphisms sending $S$ to isomorphisms in $[T]$ (the category $[T]$ is defined by taking connected component of simplicial sets of morphisms in $T$). Finally, one can define a functor $N : Ho(S-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}) \longrightarrow Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{V}})$ by sending an $S$-category to its nerve. It is well known that the functor $N$ becomes an equivalence when restricted to $S$-categories $T$ such that $[T]$ is a groupoid (this is just another way to state delooping theory). Finally, for any category $C$ with a sub-category $S\subset C$, one has a natural weak equivalence $N(L(C,S))\simeq N(C)$. Now, as explained in \cite[Prop. A.0.6]{hagII}, $N(W)$ can be also interpreted as the nerve of the $S$-category $\mathcal{G}(M)$, of cofibrant and fibrant objects in $M$ together with their simplicial sets of equivalences. One therefore has natural isomorphism $$[K,N(W)]\simeq [N(\Delta(K)),N(\mathcal{G}(M))]\simeq [L(\Delta(K),\Delta(K)),\mathcal{G}(M)].$$ Furthermore, as all morphisms in $[\mathcal{G}(M)]$ are isomorphisms one finds a bijection between $[K,N(W)]$ and $[\Delta(K),\mathcal{G}(M)]$. Let $Int(M)$ be the $S$-category of fibrant and cofibrant objects in $M$ together with their simplicial sets of morphisms. Then, as $\mathcal{G}(M)$ is precisely the sub-$S$-category of $Int(M)$ consisting of equivalences, the set $[\Delta(K),\mathcal{G}(M)]$ is also the subset of $[\Delta(K),Int(M)]$ consisting of all morphisms such that the induced functor $\Delta(K) \longrightarrow [Int(M)]\simeq Ho(M)$ sends all morphisms to isomorphisms. Finally, it turns out that the same results as our lemmas \ref{sl2} and \ref{sl1} are valid in the context of $S$-categories (their proofs are exactly the same). Therefore, we see that $[\Delta(K),Int(M)]$ is in a natural bijection with isomorphism classes of objects in $Ho(M^{\Delta(K)})$. Putting all of this together gives the lemma. \hfill $\Box$ \\ We apply the previous lemma to the case where $M:=(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, and we find a natural injection $[K,N(W)] \hookrightarrow Iso(Ho(M^{\Delta(K)}))$, whose image consists of all functors $\Delta(K) \rightarrow M$ sending all morphisms of $\Delta(K)$ to equivalences in $M$. Composing with the natural inclusion $\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)\subset M$ provides a natural injection of $$[K,N(\mathcal{M}(Q(C),D))] \subset [K,N(W)] \subset Iso(Ho(M^{\Delta(K)})).$$ By the construction of the bijection of lemma \ref{lp5} one easily sees that the image of this inclusion consists of all functors $F : \Delta(K) \longrightarrow W$ such that for any $k\in K$ one has $F(k)\in \mathcal{M}(Q(C),D)$. Finally, one clearly has a natural equivalence of categories, compatible with the model structures $$M^{\Delta(K)}\simeq (C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{\Delta(K)_{k}}\simeq (\Delta(K)_{k}\otimes C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}},$$ inducing a bijection between $Iso(Ho(M^{\Delta(K)}))$ and the isomorphism classes of objects in $Ho((\Delta(K)_{k}\otimes C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$. Another application of theorem \ref{t1} easily implies the result. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \section{Internal Hom's} Let us recall that $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ is endowed with the symmetric monoidal structure $\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}$. Recall that the monoidal structure $\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}$ is said to be closed if for any two objects $C$ and $D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ the functor $A \mapsto [A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D]$ is representable by an object $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,D)\in Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$. Recall also from corollary \ref{ct1''} that the $\mathbb{V}$-small dg-category $Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})$ is essentially $\mathbb{U}$-small and therefore can be considered as an object in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$. \begin{thm}\label{t2} The monoidal category $(Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}),\otimes^{\mathbb{L}})$ is closed. Furthermore, for any two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories $C$ and $D$ one has a natural isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,D)\simeq Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr}).$$ \end{thm} \textit{Proof:} The proof is essentially the same as for theorem \ref{t1} and is also based on the same lemmas \ref{sl2} and \ref{sl1}. Indeed, from these two lemmas one extracts the following result. \begin{lem}\label{l3} Let $M$ be $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-enriched $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated model category which is $\mathbb{V}$-small. We assume that the domain and codomain of a set of generating cofibrations are cofibrant in $M$. Let $M_{0}$ be a full sub-category of $M$ which is closed by equivalences, and $Int(M_{0})$ be the full sub-dg-category of $Int(M)$ consisting of all objects belonging to $M_{0}$. Let $A$ be a cofibrant and $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category, and let $Ho(M_{0}^{A})$ be the full sub-category of $Ho(M^{A})$ consisting of objects $F\in Ho(M^{A})$ such that $F(a)\in M_{0}$ for any $a\in A$. Then, one has a natural isomorphism $$\phi : [A,Int(M_{0})]\simeq Iso(Ho(M_{0}^{A})).$$ \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} The morphism $$\phi : [A,Int(M_{0})]\longrightarrow Iso(Ho(M_{0}^{A}))$$ simply sends a morphism $A \longrightarrow Int(M_{0})$ to the corresponding object in $M_{0}^{A}$. Using our proposition \ref{p1} it is easy to see that this maps sends homotopic morphisms to isomorphic objects in $Ho(M_{0}^{A})$, and is therefore well defined. As for the proof of lemma \ref{sl2}, the morphism $\phi$ is clearly surjective. Let $u,v : A \longrightarrow Int(M_{0})$ be two morphisms of dg-categories such that the corresponding objects in $Ho(M_{0}^{A})$ are isomorphic. Then, these objects are isomorphic in $Ho(M^{A})$, which implies by lemma \ref{sl1} that the two compositions $$u',v' : A \longrightarrow Int(M_{0}) \longrightarrow Int(M)$$ are homotopic in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}$. Let $$\xymatrix{ A \ar[rd]^-{u'} \ar[d] & \\ A' \ar[r]^-{H} & Int(M) \\ A \ar[ru]_-{v'} \ar[u]}$$ be a homotopy between $u'$ and $v'$. As $M_{0}$ is closed by equivalences in $M$ one clearly sees that the morphism $H$ factors through the sub-dg-category $Int(M_{0})$, showing that $u$ and $v$ are homotopic. \hfill $\Box$ \\ We come back to the proof of theorem \ref{t2}. Using our theorem \ref{t1} one has a natural isomorphism $$[A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D]\simeq Iso(Ho(((A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} C)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr}))\simeq Iso(Ho(((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})^{A})).$$ An application of lemma \ref{l3} (with $M=(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ and $M_{0}$ the full sub-category of right quasi-representable objects) shows that one has a natural isomorphism $$[A,Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})]\simeq Iso(Ho(((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})^{A})).$$ Putting this together one finds a natural isomorphism $$[A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,D]\simeq [A,Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr})]$$ showing the theorem. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{cp5} For any $C$ and $D$ two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories, and any $K\in SSet_{\mathbb{U}}$, one has a functorial isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ $$K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D)\simeq (K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D.$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This follows easily from Thm. \ref{p5}, Thm. \ref{t2} and the Yoneda lemma applied to $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{cp5'} For any $C$, $D$ and $E$ three $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories one has a functorial isomorphism in $Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$ $$Map(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D,E)\simeq Map(C,\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(D,E)).$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} By Cor. \ref{cp5}, for any $K\in SSet_{\mathbb{U}}$, one has functorial isomorphisms $$[K,Map(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D,E)]\simeq [K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D),E]\simeq [(K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D,E]\simeq$$ $$[K\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C,\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(D,E)]\simeq [K,Map(C,\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(D,E))].$$ \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{cp5''} Let $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a dg-category. Then the functor $$-\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C : dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}} \longrightarrow dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$$ commutes with homotopy colimits. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This follows formally from Cor. \ref{cp5'}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{cp5'''} Let $C \longrightarrow D$ be a quasi-fully faithful morphism in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. Then, for any $B\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ the induced morphism $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(B,C) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(B,D)$$ is quasi-fully faithful. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Using Lem. \ref{lmono} it is enough to show that $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(B,-)$ preserves homotopy monomorphisms. But this follows formally from Cor. \ref{cp5'}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \section{Morita morphisms and bi-modules} In this paragraph we will use the following notations. For any $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ one sets $$\widehat{C}:=Int(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}.$$ By theorem \ref{t2} and lemma \ref{l3}, one has an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$\widehat{C}\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C^{op},Int(C(k)_{\mathbb{U}})) \in Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}).$$ Indeed, lemma \ref{l3} implies that for any $A\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ one has $$[A,\widehat{C}]\simeq Iso(Ho((A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}))\simeq [A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op},\widehat{\mathbf{1}}].$$ Note also that $$Int(C(k)_{\mathbb{U}})\simeq \widehat{\mathbf{1}}.$$ We will also consider $\widehat{C}_{pe}$ the full sub-dg-category of $\widehat{C}$ consisting of $C^{op}$-modules which are homotopically finitely presented. In other words, a $C^{op}$-module $F$ is in $\widehat{C}_{pe}$ if for any filtered diagram of objects $G_{i}$ in $C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, the natural morphism $$Colim_{i}Map(F,G_{i}) \longrightarrow Map(F,Colim_{i}G_{i})$$ is a weak equivalence. It is easy to check that the objects in $\widehat{C}_{pe}$ are precisely the objects equivalent to retracts of finite cell $C^{op}$-modules. To be more precise, an object $F\in Ho(\widehat{C})$ is in $Ho(\widehat{C}_{pe})$ if and only if it is a retract in $Ho(\widehat{C})$ of an object $G$ for which there exists a finite sequence of morphisms of $C^{op}$-modules $$\xymatrix{ 0 \ar[r] & G_{1} \ar[r] & G_{2} \ar[r] & \dots \ar[r] & G_{n}=G,}$$ in such a way that for any $i$ there exists a push-out square $$\xymatrix{G_{i} \ar[r] & G_{i+1} \\ A\otimes \underline{h}_{x} \ar[u] \ar[r] & \ar[u] B\otimes \underline{h}_{x}}$$ for some $x\in C$, and some cofibration $A\rightarrow B$ in $C(k)$ with $A$ and $B$ bounded complexes of projective modules of finite type. Objects in $\widehat{C}_{pe}$ will also be called \emph{compact} or \emph{perfect} (note that they are precisely the compact objects in the triangulated category $[\widehat{C}]$, in the usual sense). More generally, for any dg-category $T$, we will write $T_{pe}$ for the full sub-dg-category of $T$ consisting of compact objects (i.e. the objects $x$ such that $[T](x,-)$ commutes with (infinite) direct sums). \\ Let us consider $C$ and $D$ two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories, and $u : \widehat{C} \longrightarrow \widehat{D}$ a morphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$. Then, $u$ induces a functor, well defined up to an (non-unique) isomorphism $$[u] : [\widehat{C}]\longrightarrow [\widehat{D}].$$ We will say that the morphism $u$ is \emph{continuous} if the functor $[u]$ commutes with $\mathbb{U}$-small direct sums. Note that $[\widehat{C}]$ and $[\widehat{D}]$ are the homotopy categories of the model categories of $C^{op}$-modules and $D^{op}$-modules, and thus these two categories always have direct sums. More generally, we will denote by $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$ the full sub-dg-category of $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$ consisting of continuous morphisms. \begin{df}\label{d5} Let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories. \begin{enumerate} \item The dg-category of \emph{Morita morphisms} from $C$ to $D$ is $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$. \item The dg-category of \emph{perfect Morita morphisms} from $C$ to $D$ is $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe})$. \end{enumerate} \end{df} We warn the reader that there are in general no relations between the dg-category $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe})$ and $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})_{pe}$. An example where these two objects agree will be given in Thm. \ref{tfour2}. \\ \begin{thm}\label{t3} Let $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, and let us consider the Yoneda embedding $\underline{h} : C \longrightarrow \widehat{C}$. Let $D$ be any $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category. \begin{enumerate} \item The pull-back functor $$\underline{h}^{*} : \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D}) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{D})$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$. \item The pull-back functor $$\underline{h}^{*} : \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe}) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{D}_{pe})$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$. \end{enumerate} \end{thm} \textit{Proof:} We start by proving $(1)$. \\ Using the universal properties of internal Hom's one reduces the problem to show that for any $A\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$, the morphism\footnote{We prefer to change notation from $\underline{h}$ to $l$ during the proof, just in order to avoid future confusions.} $$l:=\underline{h} : C \longrightarrow \widehat{C}$$ induces a bijective morphism $$l^{*} : [\widehat{C}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A,\widehat{D}]_{c} \longrightarrow [C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A,\widehat{D}],$$ where by definition $[\widehat{C}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A,\widehat{D}]_{c}$ is the subset of $[\widehat{C}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A,\widehat{D}]$ consisting of morphisms $f : \widehat{C}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A \longrightarrow \widehat{D}$ such that for any object $a\in A$ the induced morphism $f(-,a) : \widehat{C} \longrightarrow \widehat{D}$ is continuous. Now, as $\widehat{D}=\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(D^{op},\widehat{\mathbf{1}})$, one has natural bijections $$[C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A,\widehat{D}]\simeq [C,\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}] \qquad [\widehat{C}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A,\widehat{D}]_{c} \simeq [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}]_{c}.$$ Therefore, we have to prove that for any $A$ the induced morphism $$l^{*} : [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}]_{c} \longrightarrow [C,\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}],$$ is bijective. For this, we consider the quasi-fully faithful morphism in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{W}}$ for some universe $\mathbb{V}\in \mathbb{W}$ $$\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}\simeq Int((A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow \widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}:= Int((A\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{V}}).$$ One has a commutative square $$\xymatrix{ [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}]_{c} \ar[r] \ar[d] & [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}]_{c} \ar[d] \\ [C,\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}] \ar[r] & [C,\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}].}$$ We claim that the right vertical morphism is bijective. For this, we use lemma \ref{l3} which implies that it is enough to show the following lemma. \begin{lem}\label{lt3} Let $C$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category and $M$ a $\mathbb{V}$-combinatorial $C(k)_{\mathbb{V}}$-model category which is $\mathbb{W}$-small for some $\mathbb{V}\in \mathbb{W}$. We assume that the domain and codomain of a set of generating cofibrations are cofibrant in $M$. We also assume that for any cofibrant object $X\in M$, and any quasi-isomorphism $Z\longrightarrow Z'$ in $C(k)$, the induced morphism $$Z\otimes X \longrightarrow Z'\otimes X$$ is an equivalence in $M$. Then, the Quillen adjunction $$l_{!} : M^{C} \longrightarrow M^{\widehat{C}} \qquad M^{C} \longleftarrow M^{\widehat{C}} : l^{*}$$ induces a fully faithful functor $$\mathbb{L}l_{!} : Ho(M^{C}) \longrightarrow Ho(M^{\widehat{C}})$$ whose essential image consists of all $\widehat{C}$-modules corresponding to continuous morphisms in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{W}})$. \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} First of all, the modules $F \in Ho(M^{\widehat{C}})$ corresponding to continuous morphisms are precisely the ones for which for any $\mathbb{U}$-small family of objects $x_{i}\in \widehat{C}$, the natural morphism $$\bigoplus^{\mathbb{L}} F(x_{i}) \longrightarrow F(\oplus_{i}x_{i})$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$. We start by showing that $\mathbb{L}l_{!}$ is fully faithful. As both functors $\mathbb{L}l_{!}$ and $l^{*}$ commute with homotopy colimits, it is enough to show that for any $x\in C$ and any $X\in M$, the adjunction morphism $$X\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} \underline{h}^{x} \longrightarrow l^{*}\mathbb{L}l_{!}( X\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} \underline{h}^{x})$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M^{C})$. But this follows immediately from the fact that the morphism of dg-categories $l$ is fully faithful and our hypothesis on $M$. It remains to show that for any $F\in Ho(M^{\widehat{C}})$, corresponding to a continuous morphism, the adjunction morphism $$\mathbb{L}l_{!}l^{*}(F) \longrightarrow F$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M^{\widehat{C}})$. As we already know that $\mathbb{L}l_{!}$ is fully faithful it is enough to show that the functor $l^{*}$ is conservative when restricted to the sub-category of modules corresponding to continuous functors. Let $u : F \longrightarrow G$ be morphism between such modules, and let us assume that $l^{*}(F) \longrightarrow l^{*}(G)$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M^{C})$. We need to show that $u$ itself is an isomorphism in $Ho(M^{\widehat{C}})$. \begin{sublem}\label{sllt3} Let $F : \widehat{C} \longrightarrow M$ be a morphism of dg-categories corresponding to a continuous morphism. \begin{enumerate} \item Let $X : I \longrightarrow C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small diagram of cofibrant objects in $C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. Then, the natural morphism $$Hocolim_{i}F(X_{i}) \longrightarrow F(Hocolim_{i}X_{i})$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$. \item Let $Z\in C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$ and $X\in M$. Then, the natural morphism $$Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}F(X) \longrightarrow F(Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}X)$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$. \end{enumerate} \end{sublem} \textit{Proof of sub-lemma \ref{sllt3}:} $(1)$ As any homotopy colimit is a composition of homotopy push-outs and infinite (homotopy) sums, it is enough to check the sub-lemma for one of these colimits. For the direct sum case this is our hypothesis on $F$. It remains to show that $F$ commutes with homotopy push-outs. For this we assume that $F$ is fibrant and cofibrant, and thus is given by a morphism of dg-categories $\widehat{C} \longrightarrow Int(M)$. We consider the commutative diagram of dg-categories $$\xymatrix{ (\widehat{C})^{op} \ar[r]^-{F} \ar[d] & Int(M)^{op} \ar[d] \\ Int(\widehat{C}-Mod_{\mathbb{V}}) \ar[r]_-{F_{!}} & Int(Int(M)-Mod_{\mathbb{V}}),}$$ where the vertical morphisms are the dual Yoneda embeddings $\underline{h}^{(-)}$. The functor $F_{!}$ being left Quillen clearly commutes, up to equivalences, with homotopy push-outs. Furthermore, as the model categories $\widehat{C}-Mod_{\mathbb{V}}$ and $Int(M)-Mod_{\mathbb{V}}$ are stable model categories, this implies that $F_{!}$ also commutes, up to equivalence, with homotopy pull-backs. Furthermore, the morphism $\underline{h}^{(-)}$ sends homotopy push-out squares to homotopy pull-back squares, and moreover a square in $Int(M)$ is a homotopy push-out square if and only if its image by $\underline{h}$ is a homotopy pull-back square in $Int(M)-Mod_{\mathbb{V}}$. We deduce from these remarks that $F$ preserves homotopy push-out squares. \\ $(2)$ Any complex $Z$ can be constructed from the trivial complex $k$ using homotopy colimits and loop objects. As we already know that $F$ commutes with homotopy colimits, it is enough to see that it also commutes with loop objects. But the loop functor is inverse, up to equivalence, to the suspension functor. The suspension being a homotopy push-out, $F$ commutes with it, and therefore $F$ commutes with the loop functor. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Now, let us come back to our morphism $u : F \longrightarrow G$ such that $l^{*}(u)$ is an equivalence. Let $X$ be an object in $\widehat{C}$. We know that $X$ can be written as the homotopy colimit of objects of the form $Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}\underline{h}_{x}$ with $x\in C$ and $Z\in C(k)$. Therefore, one has a commutative diagram in $Ho(M)$ $$\xymatrix{ Hocolim_{i} F(Z_{i}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}\underline{h}_{x_{i}}) \ar[d] \ar[r]^-{u} & Hocolim_{i} G(Z_{i}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}\underline{h}_{x_{i}}) \ar[d] \\ F(X) \ar[r]^-{u} & G(X).}$$ By the sub-lemma $(1)$ the vertical morphisms are isomorphisms in $Ho(M)$, and the top horizontal morphism is also by hypothesis and the sub-lemma $(2)$. Thus, the bottom horizontal morphism is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$, and this for any $X\in \widehat{C}$. This shows that $l^{*}$ is conservative when restricted to continuous morphisms, and thus finishes the proof of the lemma \ref{lt3}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ We come back to our commutative diagram $$\xymatrix{ [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}]_{c} \ar[r] \ar[d] & [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}]_{c} \ar[d] \\ [C,\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}] \ar[r] & [C,\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}].}$$ Lemma \ref{lt3} shows that the right vertical morphism is bijective, and corollary \ref{clmono} implies that the horizontal morphisms are injective. It remains to show that a morphism $u\in [\widehat{C},\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}]_{c}$, whose restriction $C \longrightarrow \widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}_{\mathbb{V}}$ factors thought $\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}$, itself factors through $\widehat{A^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}$. But this is true as by sub-lemma \ref{sllt3} the image by $u$ of any $C^{op}$-module can be written as a $\mathbb{U}$-small homotopy colimit of objects of the form $Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}u(l(x)) $ for $Z\in C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$ and $x\in C$. Therefore, if the restriction of $u$ to $C$ has $\mathbb{U}$-small images, then so does $u$ itself. This finishes the proof of theorem \ref{t3} $(1)$. \\ $(2)$ We consider the quasi-fully faithful morphism $\widehat{D}_{pe} \longrightarrow \widehat{D}$. We therefore have a homotopy commutative diagram $$\xymatrix{ \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe}) \ar[r] \ar[d] & \ar[d] \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}) \\ \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{D}_{pe}) \ar[r] & \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{D}),}$$ where the horizontal morphisms are quasi-fully faithful by Cor. \ref{cp5'''}. We claim that the right vertical morphism is a quasi-equivalence. For this, using the universal properties of internal Hom's, it is enough to show that the induced morphism $$[\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}] \longrightarrow [C,\widehat{D}]$$ is bijective for any $D$. Using our lemma \ref{l3} one sees that it is enough to prove the following lemma. \begin{lem}\label{lt3'} Let $C$ be a cofibrant and $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category and $M$ a $\mathbb{V}$-combinatorial $C(k)_{\mathbb{V}}$-model category satisfying the same assumption as in lemma \ref{lt3}. \begin{enumerate} \item Then, the Quillen adjunction $$l_{!} : M^{C} \longrightarrow M^{\widehat{C}_{pe}} \qquad M^{C} \longleftarrow M^{\widehat{C}_{pe}} : l^{*}$$ is a Quillen equivalence. \item For any $F\in M^{\widehat{C}_{pe}}$, and any a $\mathbb{U}$-small diagram of perfect and cofibrant objects in $C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, $X : I \longrightarrow C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, the natural morphism $$Hocolim_{i}F(X_{i}) \longrightarrow F(Hocolim_{i}X_{i})$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$. \item For any $F\in M^{\widehat{C}_{pe}}$, and any perfect complex $Z\in C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$ and any $X\in M$, the natural morphism $$Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}F(X) \longrightarrow F(Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}X)$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(M)$. \end{enumerate} \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} This is the same as for lemma \ref{lt3} and sub-lemma \ref{sllt3}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Coming back to our square of dg-categories one sees that the horizontal morphisms are quasi-fully faithful and that the right vertical morphism is a quasi-equivalence. This formally implies that the left vertical morphism is quasi-fully faithful. We now consider the square of sets $$\xymatrix{ [\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe}] \ar[r] \ar[d] & [\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}] \ar[d] \\ [C,\widehat{D}_{pe}] \ar[r] & [C,\widehat{D}],}$$ obtained from the square of dg-categories by passing to equivalence classes of objects. Again, the right vertical morphism is a bijection and the horizontal morphisms are injective. For $u\in [C,\widehat{D}_{pe}]$, its image in $[C,\widehat{D}]$ comes from an element $v\in [\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}]$. For any $x\in C$, $v(l(x)) \in \widehat{D}$ is a perfect $D^{op}$-module, and thus so is $v(Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}l(x))\simeq Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}v(l(x))$ for any perfect complex $Z$ of $k$-modules. As any perfect $C^{op}$-module is constructed as a retract of a finite homotopy colimit of objects of the form $Z\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}l(x)$, we deduce that $v(X)$ is a perfect $D^{op}$-module for any $X\in \widehat{C }_{pe}$. Therefore, Cor. \ref{clmono} implies that $v$ comes in fact from an element in $[\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe}]$. This shows that $[\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe}] \longrightarrow [C,\widehat{D}_{pe}]$ is surjective, and thus that $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C}_{pe},\widehat{D}_{pe}) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{D}_{pe})$$ is quasi-essentially surjective. This finishes the proof of the theorem. \hfill $\Box$ \\ The following corollary is the promised derived version of Morita theory. \begin{cor}\label{ct3} Let $C$ and $D$ be two $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-categories, then there exists a natural isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})\simeq \widehat{C^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}\simeq Int((C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}).$$ In particular, there exists a natural weak equivalence $$Map_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})\simeq |(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}|,$$ where $Map_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$ is the sub-simplicial set of continuous morphisms in $Map(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})$ and where $|(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}|$ is the nerve of the sub-category of equivalences between $C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op}$-modules. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} The first part follows from the universal properties of internal Hom's, as by theorem \ref{t3} $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D})\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(D^{op},\widehat{\mathbf{1}}))\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op},\widehat{\mathbf{1}})\simeq \widehat{C^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}.$$ The second part follows from the relation between mapping spaces and internal Hom's, as well as Prop. \ref{cp5'}. Indeed, one has $$Map_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D}) \simeq Map(\mathbf{1},\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{C},\widehat{D}))\simeq Map(\mathbf{1},\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op},\widehat{\mathbf{1}})) \simeq Map(\mathbf{1},\widehat{C^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}).$$ By theorem \ref{t1} this last simplicial set is weakly equivalent to the nerve of the category of equivalences between quasi-representable $\mathbb{V}$-small $\widehat{C^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D}$-modules. The enriched Yoneda lemma for the model category $C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op}-Mod$ easily implies that this nerve is weakly equivalent to the nerve of equivalences between $\mathbb{U}$-small $C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}D^{op}$-modules. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \section{Applications} In this last section we present three kinds of applications of our main results. A first application explains the relation between Hochschild cohomology and internal Hom's of dg-categories. In the same spirit, we present a relation between the negative part of Hochschild cohomology and the higher homotopy groups of the \emph{classifying space of dg-categories}, as well as an interpretation of the fundamental group of this space as the so-called \emph{derived Picard group}. As a second application, we present a proof of the existence of a good localization functor for dg-categories. This implies for example the existence of a quotient of a dg-category by a full sub-dg-category, satisfying the required universal property. Finally, our last application states that the (derived) dg-category of morphisms between the dg-categories of quasi-coherent complexes over some (reasonable) schemes is naturally equivalent to the dg-category of quasi-coherent complexes over their product. Under smoothness and properness conditions the same statement stays correct when one replaces \emph{quasi-coherent} by \emph{perfect}. This last result can be considered as a solution to a question of D. Orlov, concerning the existence of representative objects for triangulated functors between derived categories of smooth projective varieties. \subsection{Hochschild cohomology, classifying space of dg-categories, and derived Picard groups} As a first application we give a formula relating higher homotopy groups of mapping spaces between dg-categories and Hochschild cohomology. For this, let us recall that for any $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category $C$, one defines its Hochschild cohomology groups as $$\mathbb{HH}^{i}(C):=H^{i}(\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}}(C,C)),$$ where $C$ is the $C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}$-module defined by the trivial formula $C(x,y):=C(x,y)$, and where $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}}$ are the $Ho(C(k))$-enriched Hom's of the category $Ho(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$. More generally, the Hochschild complex of $C$ is defined by $$\mathbb{HH}(C):=\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}}(C,C)),$$ which is a well defined object in the derived category $Ho(C(k))$ of complexes of $k$-modules. \begin{cor}\label{chh-} With the notation above, there exists an isomorphism in $Ho(C(k))$ $$\mathbb{HH}(C)\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,C)(Id,Id),$$ where $Id$ is the identity of $C$, considered as an object of the dg-category $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,C)$. In particular, one has $$\mathbb{HH}^{i}(C)\simeq H^{i}(\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,C)(Id,Id)).$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Using Thm. \ref{t2}, one has $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,C)(Id,Id)\simeq Int(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}^{rqr}).$$ Furthermore, through this identification the identity morphism of $C$ goes to the bi-module $C$ itself. This implies the result by the definition of Hochschild cohomology. \hfill $\Box$ \\ An important consequence of Cor. \ref{chh-} is the following Morita invariance of Hochschild cohomology. \begin{cor}\label{chh--} With the notation above, there exists an isomorphism in $Ho(C(k))$ $$\mathbb{HH}(C)\simeq \mathbb{HH}(\widehat{C}).$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Indeed, the identity of $\widehat{C}$ is clearly continuous, and thus by Thm. \ref{t3} (1) one has $$\mathbb{HH}(\widehat{C})\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(\widehat{C},\widehat{C})(Id,Id) \simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{C})(\underline{h},\underline{h}),$$ where $\underline{h} : C \longrightarrow \widehat{C}$ is the Yoneda embedding. As the morphism $\underline{h}$ is quasi-fully faithful, Cor. \ref{cp5'''} implies that the morphism $$\underline{h}^{*} : \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,\widehat{C})(\underline{h},\underline{h}) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,C)(Id,Id)$$ is a quasi-isomorphism. Cor. \ref{chh-} implies the result. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{chh} With the notation above one has isomorphisms of groups $$\pi_{i}(Map(C,C),Id)\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{1-i}(C)$$ for any $i>1$. For $i=1$, one has an isomorphism of groups $$\pi_{1}(Map(C,C),Id)\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{0}(C)^{*}=Aut_{Ho(C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})}(C).$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This follows immediately from Thm. \ref{t1}, the well-known relations between mapping spaces and classifying spaces of model categories (see e.g. \cite[Cor. A.0.4]{hagII}) and the formula $$H^{-i}(\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}}(C,C))\simeq \pi_{i}(Map_{C\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}}(C,C)).$$ \hfill $\Box$ \\ Let $|dg-Cat|$ be the nerve of the category of quasi-equivalences in $dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$. Using the usual relations between mapping spaces in model category and nerve of categories of equivalences (see e.g. \cite[Appendix A]{hagII}) one finds the following consequence. \begin{cor}\label{chh'} For a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category $C$, one has $$\pi_{i}(|dg-Cat|,C)\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{2-i}(C) \qquad \forall \; i >2.$$ Moreover, one has $$\pi_{2}(|dg-Cat|,C)\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{0}(C)^{*}.$$ \end{cor} \begin{rmk} \emph{The above corollary only gives an interpretation of negative Hochschild cohomology groups. The positive part of the Hochschild cohomology can also be interpreted in terms of deformation theory of dg-categories as done for example in \cite[\S 8.5]{hagII}.} \end{rmk} For a ($\mathbb{U}$-small) dg-algebra $A$, one can define the derived Picard group $RPic(A)$ of $A$, as done for example in \cite{rz,ke2,yek}. Using our notations and definitions, the group $RPic(A)$ can be defined in the following way. To simplify notations let us assume that the underlying complex of $A$ is cofibrant, and we will consider $A$ as a dg-category with a unique object which we denote by $BA$. Note that the category $(A\otimes A^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$, of $A\otimes A^{op}$-dg-modules, is also the category $(BA\otimes BA^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$. This category can be endowed with the following monoidal structure. For $X$ and $Y$ two $(A\otimes A^{op})$-dg-modules, we can form the internal tensor product $X\otimes_{A}Y \in (A\otimes A^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ as the coequalizer of the two natural morphisms $$(X\otimes A \otimes Y) \rightrightarrows X\otimes Y.$$ This endows the model category $(A\otimes A^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$ with a structure of monoidal model category (see for example \cite{kt} where the simplicial analog is considered). Deriving this monoidal structure provides a monoidal category $(Ho((A\otimes A^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}),\otimes_{A}^{\mathbb{L}})$. By definition, the group $RPic(A)$ is the group of isomorphism classes of objects in $Ho((A\otimes A^{op})-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})$ which are invertible for the monoidal structure $\otimes_{A}^{\mathbb{L}}$. \begin{cor}\label{crpic} There is a group isomorphism $$RPic(A)\simeq \pi_{1}(|dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}|,\widehat{BA}).$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This easily follows from the formula $$\pi_{1}(|dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}}|,\widehat{C}) \simeq Aut_{Ho(dg-Cat)}(\widehat{C})$$ and Cor. \ref{ct3}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \subsection{Localization and quotient of dg-categories} Let $C$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg category, and $S$ be a set of morphisms in $[C]$. For any $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category $D$, we consider $Map_{S}(C,D)$ the sub-simplicial set of $Map(C,D)$ being the union of all connected components corresponding to morphisms $f : C \longrightarrow D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ such that $[f] : [C] \longrightarrow [D]$ sends $S$ to isomorphisms in $[D]$. \begin{cor}\label{cloc} The $Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$-enriched functor $$Map_{S}(C,-) : Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}) \longrightarrow Ho(SSet_{\mathbb{U}})$$ is co-represented by an object $L_{S}(C) \in Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Let $I_{k}$ be the dg-category with two objects $0$ and $1$, and freely generated by a unique morphism $0 \rightarrow 1$. Using theorem \ref{t1} one easily sees that $Map(I_{k},C)$ can be identified with the nerve of the category $(C^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}})_{rqr}^{I}$, of morphisms between quasi-representable $C^{op}$-modules. Using the dg-Yoneda lemma one sees that $[I_{k},C]$ is in a natural bijection with isomorphism classes of morphisms in $[C]$. In particular, the set $S$ can be classified by a morphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}})$ $$S : \coprod_{f\in S}I_{k} \longrightarrow C.$$ We consider the natural morphism $I_{k} \longrightarrow \mathbf{1}$, and we define $L_{S}C$ to be the homotopy push-out $$\xymatrix{ \coprod_{f\in S}I_{k} \ar[r] \ar[d] & C \ar[d] \\ \coprod_{f\in S}\mathbf{1} \ar[r] & L_{S}C.}$$ For any $D$ one has a homotopy pull-back diagram $$\xymatrix{ Map(L_{S}C,D) \ar[r] \ar[d] & \prod_{f\in S}Map(\mathbf{1},D) \ar[d] \\ Map(C,D) \ar[r] & \prod_{f\in S}Map(I_{k},D).}$$ Therefore, in order to see that $L_{S}C$ has the correct universal property, it is enough to check that $Map(\mathbf{1},D) \longrightarrow Map(I_{k},D)$ induces an injection on $\pi_{0}$, a bijection on $\pi_{i}$ for $i>0$, and that its image in $[I_{k},D]$ consists of all morphisms in $[D]$ which are isomorphisms. Using theorem \ref{t1} once again we see that this follows from the following very general fact: if $M$ is a model category, then the Quillen adjunction $Mor(M) \leftrightharpoons M$ (where $Mor(M)$ is the model category of morphisms in $M$), sending a morphism in $M$ to its target, induces a fully faithful functor $Ho(M) \longrightarrow Ho(Mor(M))$, whose essential image consists of all equivalences in $M$. \hfill $\Box$. \begin{cor}\label{cloc2} Let $C\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ be a dg-category and $S$ a set of morphisms in $[C]$. Then, the natural morphism $C \longrightarrow L_{S}C$ induces for any $D\in dg-Cat_{\mathbb{U}}$ a quasi-fully faithful morphism $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(L_{S}C,D) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,D),$$ whose quasi-essential image consists of all morphisms $C \rightarrow D$ in $Ho(dg-Cat)$ sending $S$ to isomorphisms in $[D]$. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} This follows formally from Cor. \ref{cloc}, Thm. \ref{t2} and Lem. \ref{lmono}. \hfill $\Box$ \\ One important example of application of the localization construction is the existence of a good theory of quotients of dg-categories. For this, let $C$ be a $\mathbb{U}$-small dg-category, and $\{X_{i}\}_{i\in I}$ be a sub-set of objects in $C$. We assume that $[C]$ has a zero object $0$. One consider $S$ the set of morphisms in $[C]$ consisting of all $X_{i} \rightarrow 0$. The dg-category $L_{S}C$ is then denoted by $C/<X_{i}>$, and is called the quotient of $C$ by the sub-set of objects $\{X_{i}\}_{i\in I}$. This terminology is justified by the fact that for any dg-category $D$ with a zero object, the morphism $$l^{*} : \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C/<X_{i}>,D) \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(C,D)$$ is quasi-fully faithful, and its image consists of all morphisms $f : C \longrightarrow D$ such that for all $i\in I$ $[f(X_{i})]\simeq 0$ in $[D]$. \subsection{Maps between dg-categories of quasi-coherent complexes} We now pass to our last application describing maps between dg-categories of quasi-coherent complexes on $k$-schemes. For this, let $X$ be a quasi-compact and separated scheme over $Spec\, k$. We consider $QCoh(X)$ the category of $\mathbb{U}$-small quasi-coherent sheaves on $X$. As this is a Grothendieck category we know that there exists a $\mathbb{U}$-cofibrantly generated model category $C(QCoh(X))$ of (unbounded) complexes of quasi-coherent sheaves on $X$ (the cofibrations being the monomorphisms and the equivalences being the quasi-isomorphisms, see e.g. \cite{ho2}). It is easy to check that the natural $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-enrichment of $C(QCoh(X))$ makes it into a $C(k)_{\mathbb{U}}$-model category, and thus as explained in \S 3 we can construct a $\mathbb{V}$-small dg-category $Int(C(QCoh(X))$. This dg-category will be denoted by $L_{qcoh}(X)$. Note that $[L_{qcoh}(X)]$ is naturally equivalent to the (unbounded) derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves $D_{qcoh}(X)$, and will be identified with it. We need to recall that an object $E$ in $L_{qcoh}(X)$ is homotopically finitely presented, or perfect in the sense of \S 7, if and only if it is a compact object of $D_{qcoh}(X)$, and thus if and only if it is a perfect complex on $X$ (see for example \cite{bv}). We will use this fact implicitly in the sequel. \\ \begin{thm}\label{tfour} Let $X$ and $Y$ be two quasi-compact and separated schemes over $k$, and assume that one of them is flat over $Spec\, k$. Then, there exists an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y))\simeq L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y).$$ \end{thm} \textit{Proof:} We start noticing that the model categories $C(QCoh(X))$ and $C(QCoh(Y))$ are stable, proper, cofibrantly generated, and admit a compact generator (see \cite{bv}). Therefore, they satisfy the conditions of the main theorem of \cite{ss}, and thus one can find two objects $E_{X}$ and $E_{Y}$ in $L_{qcoh}(X)$ and $L_{qcoh}(Y)$, and two Quillen equivalences $$C(QCoh(X)) \leftrightharpoons A_{X}^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}} \qquad C(QCoh(Y)) \leftrightharpoons A_{Y}^{op}-Mod_{\mathbb{U}}$$ where $A_{X}$ (resp. $A_{Y}$) is the full sub-dg-category of $L_{qcoh}(X)$ (resp. of $L_{qcoh}(Y)$) consisting of $E_{X}$ (resp. $E_{Y}$) only (in other words, $A_{X}$ is the dg-category with a unique object and $\mathbb{R}\underline{End}(E_{X})$ as endomorphism dg-algebra). In the following we will write $A_{X}$ for both, the dg-category and the corresponding dg-algebra $\mathbb{R}\underline{End}(E_{X})$ (and the same with $A_{Y}$). These Quillen equivalences are $C(k)$-enriched Quillen equivalences, and with a bit of care one can check that they provide natural isomorphisms in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$L_{qcoh}(X)\simeq \widehat{A_{X}} \qquad L_{qcoh}(Y)\simeq \widehat{A_{Y}}.$$ \begin{lem}\label{ldual} There exists an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$\widehat{A_{Y}}\simeq \widehat{A_{Y}^{op}}.$$ \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} By the general theory of \cite{ss} it is enough to show that the triangulated category $D_{qcoh}(Y)\simeq [L_{qcoh}(Y)]$ possesses a compact generator $F_{Y}$ such that the dg-algebra $\mathbb{R}\underline{End}(F_{Y})$ is naturally equivalent to $\mathbb{R}\underline{End}(E_{Y})^{op}$. For this we take $F_{Y}=E_{Y}^{\vee}$ to be the dual perfect complex of $E_{Y}$. Let $<F_{Y}>$ be the smallest thick triangulated sub-category of $D_{parf}(Y)$ containing $F_{Y}$. We let $\phi : D_{parf}(Y) \longrightarrow D_{parf}(Y)^{op}$ be the involution sending a perfect complex $E$ to its dual $E^{\vee}$. Then, clearly $\phi(<F_{Y}>)=<E_{Y}>=D_{parf}(Y)$. This shows that $F_{Y}$ classically generates $D_{parf}(Y)$, and thus by \cite[Thm. 2.1.2]{bv} that $F_{Y}$ is a compact generator of $D_{qcoh}(Y)$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{lem}\label{ldiag} There exists an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$\widehat{A_{X}\otimes_{k}^{\mathbb{L}} A_{Y}}\simeq L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y).$$ \end{lem} \textit{Proof:} This follows from the fact that the external product $E_{X}\boxtimes E_{Y}$ is a compact generator of $D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y)$, as explained in \cite[Lem. 3.4.1]{bv}. Indeed, flat base change induces a natural quasi-isomorphism of dg-algebras (one uses here that either $X$ or $Y$ is flat over $k$) $$\mathbb{R}\underline{End}(E_{X}\boxtimes E_{Y})\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{End}(E_{X})\otimes_{k}^{\mathbb{L}} \mathbb{R}\underline{End}(E_{Y})\simeq A_{X}\otimes_{k}^{\mathbb{L}} A_{Y}.$$ \hfill $\Box$ \\ We are now ready to prove theorem \ref{tfour}. Indeed, using theorem \ref{t3} one finds $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y))\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{A_{X}},\widehat{A_{Y}})\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(A_{X},\widehat{A_{Y}}).$$ Lemma \ref{ldual} and the universal properties of internal Hom's give an isomorphism $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(A_{X},\widehat{A_{Y}})\simeq \mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(A_{X},\widehat{A_{Y}^{op}})\simeq \widehat{A_{X}\otimes_{k}^{\mathbb{L}} A_{Y}}.$$ Finally lemma \ref{ldiag} implies the theorem. \hfill $\Box$ \\ \begin{cor}\label{cfour-1} Under the same conditions as in Thm. \ref{tfour}, there exists a bijection between $[L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y)]_{c}$, the sub-set of $[L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y)]$ consisting of continuous morphisms, and the isomorphism classes of objects in the derived category $D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y)$. \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Readily follows from theorem \ref{tfour} and the fact that $[L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y)]\simeq D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y)$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Tracking back the construction of the equivalence in theorem \ref{tfour} one sees that the bijection of corollary \ref{cfour-1} can be described as follows. Let $E \in D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} Y)$ be an object, and let us consider the two projections $$p_{X} : X\times_{k}Y \longrightarrow X \qquad p_{Y} : X\times_{k}Y \longrightarrow Y.$$ We consider the functor $$\phi_{E} : D_{qcoh}(X) \longrightarrow D_{qcoh}(Y)$$ defined by $$\phi_{E}(F):=\mathbb{R}(p_{Y})_{*}(\mathbb{L}p_{X}^{*}(F)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} E),$$ for any $F\in D_{qcoh}(X)$. Then, the functor $\phi_{E}$ is the natural functor induced by the morphism $L_{qcoh}(X) \longrightarrow L_{qcoh}(Y)$ in $Ho(dg-Cat)$, corresponding to $E$ via the bijection of Cor. \ref{cfour-1}. \begin{cor}\label{cfour} Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and separated scheme, flat over $Spec\, k$. Then, one has $$\pi_{1}(Map(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(X),Id))\simeq \mathcal{O}_{X}(X)^{*}$$ $$\pi_{i}(Map(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(X),Id))\simeq \mathbb{HH}^{1-i}(A_{X}) \simeq 0 \; \forall \; i>1.$$ \end{cor} \textit{Proof:} Indeed theorem \ref{tfour}, theorem \ref{t1}, corollary \ref{cint} and corollary \ref{cp5'} give $$Map(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(X))\simeq Map(*,L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} X)).$$ Furthermore, the identity on the right is clearly sent to the diagonal $\Delta_{X}$ in $L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} X)$. Therefore, one finds for any $i>1$ $$\pi_{i}(Map(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(X)),Id))\simeq \pi_{i}(Map(*,L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} X)),\Delta_{X})\simeq$$ $$H^{1-i}(L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} X)(\Delta_{X},\Delta_{X}))\simeq Ext^{1-i}_{X\times_{k} X}(\Delta(X),\Delta(X))\simeq 0.$$ For $i=1$, one has $$\pi_{1}(Map(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(X)),Id))\simeq \pi_{1}(Map(*,L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} X)),\Delta_{X})\simeq Aut_{D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k} X)}(\Delta_{X})\simeq \mathcal{O}_{X}(X)^{*}.$$ \hfill $\Box$ \\ Corollary \ref{cfour} combined with the usual relations between mapping spaces and nerves of categories of equivalences also has the following important consequence. \begin{cor}\label{cfour'} Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and separated scheme, flat over $k$. Then, one has $$\pi_{i}(|dg-Cat|,L_{qcoh}(X))\simeq 0 \qquad \forall \; i>2.$$ In particular, the sub-simplicial set of $|dg-Cat|$ corresponding to dg-categories of the form $L_{qcoh}(X)$, for $X$ a quasi-compact and separated scheme flat over $k$, is a $2$-truncated simplicial set. \end{cor} We finish by a refined version of theorem \ref{tfour} involving only perfect complexes instead of all quasi-coherent complexes. For this, we will denote by $L_{parf}(X)$ the full sub-dg-category of $L_{qcoh}(X)$ consisting of all perfect complexes. \begin{thm}\label{tfour2} Let $X$ and $Y$ be two smooth and proper schemes over $Spec\, k$. Then, there exists an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$ $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(L_{parf}(X),L_{parf}(Y))\simeq L_{parf}(X\times_{k} Y).$$ \end{thm} \textit{Proof:} The triangulated category $D_{qcoh}(X)$ being generated by its compact objects, one sees that the Yoneda embedding $$L_{qcoh}(X) \longrightarrow \widehat{L_{parf}(X)}$$ is an isomorphism in $Ho(dg-Cat_{\mathbb{V}})$. Using our Thm. \ref{t3} we see that $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(L_{parf}(X),L_{parf}(Y))$ can be identified, up to quasi-equivalence, with the full sub-dg-category of $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(L_{qcoh}(X),L_{qcoh}(Y))$ consisting of all morphisms $L_{qcoh}(X) \longrightarrow L_{qcoh}(Y)$ which preserve perfect complexes. Using Thm. \ref{tfour}, we see that $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(L_{parf}(X),L_{parf}(Y))$ is quasi-equivalent to the full sub-dg-category of $L_{qcoh}(X\times_{k}Y)$ consisting of objects $E$ such that for any perfect complex $F$ on $X$, the complex $\mathbb{R}(p_{Y})_{*}(p_{X}^{*}(F)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}E)$ is perfect on $Y$. To finish the proof we thus need to show that an object $E\in D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k}Y)$ is perfect if and only if the functor $$\Phi_{E}:=\mathbb{R}(p_{Y})_{*}(p_{X}^{*}(-)\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}E) : D_{qcoh}(X) \longrightarrow D_{qcoh}(Y)$$ preserves perfect objects. Clearly, as $X$ is flat and proper over $Spec\, k$, $\Phi_{E}$ preserves perfect complexes if $E$ is itself perfect. Conversely, let $E$ be an object in $D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k}Y)$ such that $\Phi_{E}$ preserves perfect complexes. \begin{lem}\label{ltfour2} Let $Z$ be a smooth and proper scheme over $Spec\, k$, and $E\in D_{qcoh}(Z)$. If for any perfect complex $F$ on $Z$, the complex of $k$-modules $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(F,E)$ is perfect, then $E$ is perfect on $Z$. \end{lem} \textit{Proof of the lemma:} We let $A_{Z}$ be a dg-algebra over $k$ such that $L_{qcoh}(Z)$ is quasi-equivalent to $\widehat{A_{Z}}$ (with the same abuse of notations that $A_{Z}$ also means the dg-category with a unique object and $A_{Z}$ as endomorphism dg-algebra). As $Z$ is flat and proper over $Spec\, k$, the underlying complex of $k$-modules of $A_{Z}$ is perfect. Furthermore, as $Z$ is smooth, the diagonal $\Delta : Z \hookrightarrow Z\times_{k}Z$ is a local complete intersection morphism, and thus $\Delta_{*}(\mathcal{O}_{Z})$ is a perfect complex on $Z$. Equivalently, the $A_{Z}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}_{k}A_{Z}^{op}$-dg-module $A_{Z}$ is perfect, or equivalently lies in the smallest sub-dg-category of $\widehat{A_{Z}^{op}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}_{k}A_{Z}}$ containing $A_{Z}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}A_{Z}^{op}$ and which is stable by retracts, homotopy push-outs and the loop functor (or the shift functor). We now apply our theorem \ref{t3} in order to translate this last fact in terms of dg-categories of morphisms. Let $F : \widehat{A_{Z}} \longrightarrow \widehat{A_{Z}}$ be the morphism of dg-categories sending an $A_{Z}^{op}$-dg-module $M$ to the free $A_{Z}^{op}$-dg-module $$F(M):=\underline{M}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}A_{Z}^{op},$$ where $\underline{M}$ is the underlying complex of $k$-modules of $M$. By what we have seen, the identity morphism lies in the smallest sub-dg-category of $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}_{c}(\widehat{A_{Z}},\widehat{A_{Z}})$ containing the object $F$ and which is stable by retracts, homotopy push-outs and the loop functor. Evaluating the identity of the dg-category $\widehat{A_{Z}}$ at an object $M$, we get that the object $M\in \widehat{A_{Z}}$ lies in the smallest sub-dg-category of $\widehat{A_{Z}}$ containing $\underline{M}\otimes^{\mathbb{L}} A_{Z}^{op}$ and stable by retracts, homotopy push-outs and by the loop functor. Now, by our hypothesis the object $E$ corresponds to $M\in \widehat{A_{Z}}$ such that $\underline{M}$ is a perfect complex of $k$-modules. Therefore, $M$ itself belongs to the smallest sub-dg-category of $\widehat{A_{Z}}$ containing $A_{Z}^{op}$ and which stable by retracts, homotopy push-outs and the loop functor. By definition of being perfect, this implies that $M\in \widehat{A_{Z}}_{pe}$, and thus that $E$ is a perfect complex on $Z$. \hfill $\Box$ \\ Let now $E_{X}$ and $E_{Y}$ be compact generators of $D_{qcoh}(X)$ and $D_{qcoh}(Y)$. Then, by the projection formula one has $$\mathbb{R}(p_{Y})_{*}((E_{X}^{\vee}\boxtimes E_{Y}^{\vee})\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}E) \simeq \mathbb{R}(p_{Y})_{*}(p_{X}^{*}(E_{X}^{\vee})\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}E) \otimes^{\mathbb{L}}E_{Y}^{\vee}$$ which is perfect on $Y$. This implies in particular that $$\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(E_{X}\boxtimes E_{Y},E)\simeq \mathbb{R}\Gamma(Y,\mathbb{R}(p_{Y})_{*}((E_{X}^{\vee}\boxtimes E_{Y}^{\vee})\otimes^{\mathbb{L}}E)$$ is a perfect complex of $k$-modules. As the perfect complex $E_{X}\boxtimes E_{Y}$ is a generator on $D_{qcoh}(X\times_{k}Y)$, one sees that for any perfect complex $F$ on $X\times_{k}Y$, the complex of $k$-modules $\mathbb{R}\underline{Hom}(F,E)$ is perfect. The lemma \ref{ltfour2} implies that $E$ is perfect on $X\times_{k}Y$, which finishes the proof of the theorem. \hfill $\Box$ \\

The recipe I used called for pecans in the topping but I didn't have any on hand. But I'm sure they would be a great addition to the sweet and crunchy topping. These are a great way to start the day, especially if you have a breakfast sweet tooth like I do. Do you prefer sweet or savory breakfast? Please head over to the Brown Eyed Baker's blog for the recipe: Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Muffins. Thanks for stopping by, have a great Saturday! 8 comments: ooh i must make these! mmmmmm i ♥ streusel stopping!!! Wow!! They look very yummy!! I need to try these one day too!! TFS!! hi Mara! Your muffins look delicious!! I like a cookie (or a little something sweet) with my coffee in the morning too. :) I just have to tell you that my daughter made these yesterday, and they were divine! I think they were gone within a half an hour. Next time we'll have to double the recipe (or triple, or quadruple...). They were so good. Thank you for sharing. man...i'm so jealous! all that yummy baking! those look SO yummy! What a winning recipe! These look deeeelicious, Mara! Mara you are awesome and these muffins are beyond delicious! Recipe keeper for sure!

(I hope you’ll forgive me for talking mostly about books the last two weeks. 🙂 I happened to finish several recently and I’m trying to finish off my Spring Reading Thing before it ends.) I’ve mentioned before the importance of reading missionary biographies, for our own growth and inspiration and to keep before us those names in church history that need to be remembered just like Washington, Lincoln, and others need to be remembered in our secular history. Hudson Taylor is one of those names for several reasons. suffered much hardship uncomplainingly and purposefully lived as simple a life as possible. resp0nsible in its habits led to Hudson beginning the China Inland Mission. There were a few missionaries in the bigger cities, but China wanted to go inland where the gospel had not been preached. Probably the most notable aspects of Hudson, however, were his simple childlike (but not childish) faith and his unswerving obedience to what he perceived God wanted him to do. For these reasons I was very glad to see It Is Not Death to Die: A New Biography of Hudson Taylor by Jim Cromarty. There are two older well-known biographies of Hudson Taylor. One and they can sometimes be hard to find (Amazon only had used copies but I found them on sale just now here.) These are excellent and easily readable though they were written over a hundred years ago. The other well-known biography of Taylor is Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret, also written by his daughter and son-in-law, but much more compact at 272 pages and still printed regularly today. I had high hopes that this new biography by Cromarty would bridge the gap between these two and bring Hudson’s life before a modern audience that might not seek out the older books. And while it is a faithful representation with much research evidently behind it and I can recommend it, I wish it were more dynamically written. It’s a good reference book for people who want to know more about Taylor, but I don’t know if it would draw in those who are unfamiliar with him or those who do not like to read biographies. Biographers do have it a little rough: they can write in a story form, which is more interesting but tends to be less accurate as the biographer has to invent conversations and situations to bring out the points he needs to; or they can right a factual version which can tend to be more encyclopedic and accurate, but which doesn’t appeal to the average modern reader. This one is in the style of the latter. I think it could have been much more condensed: there are many descriptions of various CIM missionaries’ travels which could have been left out or at least summarized. The book is 481 pages, not including indexes and end notes, and I have to admit I got bogged down in places. But I do recommend the book. If you persevere, you will find great nuggets about Taylor’s character. He was not unflawed: he was very human and he would never have wanted people to think he was some super-Christian. But he loved and followed the Lord in an exemplary and humble way. I marked way too many places to share, especially in a review that is long already: But here are a few places that stood out to me: His health, as he described it, could “not be called robust” (p. 49), but I hadn’t realized he struggled so much with his health through the years, including regular bouts of dysentery. as). I had thought that the title of this book came from the hymn, “It is Not Death to Die,” originally written in 1832 and recently updated. But in writing of Hudson’s death, Cromarty cites the Banner of Truth 1977 publication of Pilgrim’s Progress, at the section where Mr. Valiant-For-Truth dies, and the line “It Is Not Death to Die” is in the passage he quotes but I have not found it in the online versions of Pilgrim’s Progress. Nevertheless, the sentiment is true. Dying to self and living for Christ, which Hudson Taylor exemplified, is true life, just as dying to this body makes way for heaven for those who have trusted Christ as Savior. (For a more positive review that brings out some different things about Cromarty’s book and Taylor’s life, see my friend Debbie’s review here.) I love it when a book is marked up like that! It means that you got a lot out of it! Thanks for sharing this great book! Thanks for the review and recommendation. I have learned quite about Hudson Taylor from friends, but I have not yet read any biographies on his life. I will add it to my list. 🙂 I just finished a book about China (by a Christian journalist who used to work for NPR – how is that for unlikely?) and it whetted my appetite for all things Hudson Taylor. I was delighted to read your review. I think I’ll start with the earlier biographies, but this one is on my TBR list. Thank you! Now there’s a rich review of a book! I appreciate your excerpts — they help me get a feel for the writing style and level of detail.

TITLE: Can path integrals be used to understand entanglement? QUESTION [15 upvotes]: I like path integrals. I prefer to try to understand quantum phenomena in terms of path integrals rather than Hamiltonian mechanics. However, most of the standard texts on quantum mechanics start from Hamiltonian mechanics and mention the path integrals as a side note. This makes it difficult for me to gain insight into common phenomena (with a few exceptions like certain areas of optics) from the perspective of path integrals formulations. I am aware of some exceptions to this rule (books on path integrals in particular), but I have only seen entanglement explained from the perspective of eigenstates of a Hamiltonian. I was wondering how entanglement would be interpreted if you started from a path integral formulation. I would be more than happy to hear from a quantum field theoretic perspective as well, but the usual quantum mechanical path integral would certainly satisfy my curiosity. REPLY [3 votes]: Path integrals have been used to discuss entanglement of quantum fields. The path integral is used to trace out part of the system, so that the entanglement is given in terms of Von Neumann entropy, in terms of the trace of the partial density matrix. You can find an example here for instance: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9401125

TITLE: Is SO(2n+1)/U(n) a symmetric space? QUESTION [15 upvotes]: I am a physics student with only a rudimentary knowledge of differential geometry, so please feel free to point out if I miss something elementary / trivial. According to https://arxiv.org/abs/1408.2760, $ SO(2n+1)/U(n) $ is not a symmetric space because it does not have the right Cartan decomposition of the Lie algebra. That is, suppose that $ \mathfrak{g} $ is the Lie algebra of $ SO(2n+1)$ and $ \mathfrak{h} $ is the Lie algebra of $ U(n) $. There is a decomposition $$ \mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{h} + \mathfrak{p} $$ for some $ \mathfrak{p} $ such that $ [\mathfrak{h},\mathfrak{h}] \subset \mathfrak{h}$ and $[\mathfrak{h},\mathfrak{p}] \subset \mathfrak{p}$. But $ [\mathfrak{p},\mathfrak{p}] $ is not in $ \mathfrak{h} $, so we do not have a Cartan involution on this space. I'm wondering if it is that simple. I'll be grateful if someone can clear up my confusion below. I think that $SO(2n+1)/U(n)$ and $SO(2n+2)/U(n+1)$ are diffeomorphic. For instance, this book shows that the two are the same homogeneous spaces by showing that Any element $SO(2n+1)$ can be written as an ordered product of two elements, one in $SO(2n+1)$ and another in $U(n+1)$. They write this as $SO(2n+2)=SO(2n+1)\cdot U(n+1)$ The quotient $X = SO(2n+2)/U(n+1) = SO(2n+1)\cdot U(n+1) / U(n+1)$ can be thought of as $ SO(2n+1)/U(n)$ because the $SO(2n+1)$-action on $X$ is transitive and the stabilizer of the identity $eU(n+1)$ of $X$ are the elements of $SO(2n+1)$ that are also in $U(n+1)$: $SO(2n+1) \cap U(n+1) = U(n)$. An example in low dimensions is $ SO(5)/U(2) = SO(6)/U(3) = \mathbb{C}P^3$, a complex projective space. But $SO(2n+2)/U(n+1)$ is a symmetric space. So why is $SO(2n+1)/U(n)$ not? REPLY [3 votes]: The homogeneous space $M=G/K=SO(2n+1)/U(n)$ is not a symmetric space but a generalized flag manifold of the compact simple Lie group $SO(2n+1)$. It arises from the more general family $$ M_{n, p}:=SO(2n+1)/(U(p) \times SO(2(n-p)+1) ) $$ for $p=n$. Notice that for any $2\leq p\leq n$ the isotropy representation of $M_{n, p}$ decomposes intro two isotropy summands: $${\frak m}\cong T_{o}M_{n, p}=\frak{m}_{1}\oplus\frak{m}_{2}.$$ This is true, since in this case you paint black in the Dynkin diagram of $G=SO(2n+1)$ a simple root of Dynkin mark equal to 2. It is easy to see that $[\frak{m}, \frak{m}]\neq \frak{k}$, in particular one computes $$ [\frak{m}_{1}, \frak{m}_{1}]\subset\frak{k}\oplus\frak{m}_{2}, \quad [\frak{m}_{1}, \frak{m}_{2}]\subset\frak{m}_{1},\quad [\frak{m}_{2}, \frak{m}_{2}]\subset\frak{k} $$ For $p=1$ one gets the Hermitian symmetric space $SO(2n+1)/SO(2)\times SO(2n-1)$, which of course is isotropy irreducible (in this case, in the Dynkin diagram of $G=SO(2n+1)$ we paint black the first simple root, which has Dynkin mark equal to 1, recall that the highest root of $SO(2n+1)$ is given by $\tilde{\alpha}=\alpha_1+2\alpha_2+\cdots+2\alpha_{n}$ where $\{\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_{n}\}$ is a basis of simple roots. The coefficients $\{1, 2, \ldots, 2\}$ are the so called Dynkin marks). In fact, the only generalized flag manifolds which are the same time symmetric spaces are the (compact) Hermitian symmetric spaces and these are the unique flag manifolds which are isotropy irreducible. (see Which Kahler Manifolds are also Einstein Manifolds? for more details) Finally notice that a smooth manifold can has more than one expressions as a homogeneous space, $M=G/K=G'/K'$. For example $$S^{6}=SO(7)/SO(6)=G_2/SU(3), \quad S^{7}=SO(8)/SO(7)=Sp(2)/Sp(1)=Spin(7)/G_2.$$ However, only the pairs $(SO(7), SO(6))$ and $(SO(8), SO(7))$ are symmetric pairs (and so passing to the double coverings you get simply-connected symmetric spaces). And similar in your example: the first complex projective space $$SO(5)/U(2)=ℂP^{3}_{{\frak m}_{1}\oplus{\frak m}_{2}}$$ is not a symmetric space but a flag manifold with two isotropy summands, but $SU(4)/U(3)=ℂP^{3}$ is a Hermitian symmetric space (irreducible).

A Survey on Packaging Materials and Technologies for Commercial Food Products 1University of Parma 1University of Parma 1University of Parma 1University of Naples Federico II Citation Information: International Journal of Food Engineering. Volume 7, Issue 1, Pages –, ISSN (Online) 1556-3758, DOI: 10.2202/1556-3758.1687, January 2011 - Published Online: - 2011-01-11 This paper presents the outcomes of a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the Italian food market, targeting the Fast Moving Consumer Goods products and aimed at defining the existing relationships between product characteristics and packaging technologies. A sample of 175 products has been examined, and the corresponding characteristics and packaging technologies were derived from an in-field investigation performed in large and small Italian retailers. Subsequent statistical analyses were first focused on providing descriptive statistics concerning the packaging materials used for food products. Then, cluster analysis was exploited to group products on the basis of the material used for the primary packaging. Discriminant analysis was also adopted to identify product characteristics that significantly contribute to the choice of packaging material. Finally, based on the clusters obtained, contingency tables were used to explore possible relationships among packaging material, packaging techniques and relevant product characteristics. Results of this study could provide useful guidelines to food manufacturers to identify the most suitable packaging technology for new food products.

This tradition is based on the central limit theorem of probability theory which states that the distributions of sums of (independent) random variables satisfying certain conditions (say, the Lindeberg condition) converge to the normal law as the number of summands infinitely increases. However, it is practically impossible to check the conditions providing the validity of the central limit theorem when the observed sample size is limited. In particular, with moderate sample size, the histogram constructed from the sample from the Cauchy distribution whose tails are so heavy that even the mathematical expectation does not exist, is practically visually indistinguishable from the normal (Gaussian) density. Therefore it is very important to know what the real accuracy of the normal approximation is in the cases where it is used despite it is theoretically inapplicable. Moreover, in some situations related with computer simulation, if the distributions of separate summands in the sum belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law with characteristic exponent less than two, then the observed distance between the distribution of the normalized sum and the normal law first decreases as the number of summands grows and begins to increase only when the number of summands becomes large enough. In the present paper an attempt is undertaken to give some theoretical explanation to this effect. In Section 2 we introduce the notation, give necessary definitions and formulate some auxiliary results. In Section 3 the theorem is proved presenting the upper bound for the accuracy of the invalid normal approximation. In Section 4 the problem of evaluation of the threshold number of summands providing best possible accuracy of the invalid normal approximation is considered. \section{Notation, definitions and auxiliary results} Throughout the paper we assume that all the random variables are defined on the same probability space $(\Omega,\mathfrak{F},{\sf P})$. The mathematical expectation and variance with respect to the probability measure ${\sf P}$ will be denoted ${\sf E}$ and ${\sf D}$, respectively. The symbol $\eqd$ means the coincidence of distributions. For $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be a homogeneous sample, that is, a set of independent identically distributed random variables with common distribution function $F(x)={\sf P}(X_1<x)$, $x\in\R$. For simplicity, without serious loss of generality we will assume that $F(x)$ is continuous. We will follow the lines of approach described in \cite{Korolev2020}. Denote $S_n=X_1+\ldots+X_n$. The indicator of a set (event) $A\in\mathfrak{F}$ will be denoted $\I_A=\I_A(\omega)$, $\omega\in\Omega$: $$ \I_A(\omega)=\begin{cases}1, & \omega\in A,\vspace{1mm}\cr 0, &\omega\notin A.\end{cases} $$ Consider $u>0$ such that $0<F(u)<1$. It is obvious that $X_j=X_j\I_{\{|X_j|\le u\}}+X_j\I_{\{|X_j|> u\}}$. Then $$ S_n=\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n X_j\I_{\{|X_j|\le u\}}+\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n X_j\I_{\{|X_j|> u\}}\equiv S_n^{(\le u)}+S_n^{(> u)}. $$ The number $N_n(u)$ of non-zero summands in the sum $S_n^{(\le u)}$ is a random variable that has the binomial distribution with parameters $n$ (``number of trials'') and $p=p(u)={\sf P}(|X_1|\le u)=F(u)-F(-u)$ (probability of ``success''). Note that, as $u$ infinitely grows, the parameter $p$ tends to 1. So, for $x\in\R$ we can write $$ {\sf P}(S_n^{(\le u)}<x)\eqd {\sf P}\Big(\sum\nolimits_{j=0}^{N_n(u)}X_j^{(\le u)}<x\Big),\eqno(1) $$ where the random variables $X_1^{(\le u)},X_2^{(\le u)},\ldots$ are independent and have one and the same distribution function $$ F^{(\le u)}(x)\equiv {\sf P}(X_1^{(\le u)}<x)={\sf P}\big(X_1\I_{\{|X_1|\le u\}}<x\big|\,|X_1|\le u\big)= $$ $$ =\frac{{\sf P}(X_1<x;\,|X_1|\le u)}{{\sf P}(|X_1|\le u)}=\begin{cases}1, & x> u;\vspace{1mm}\\{\displaystyle\frac{F(x)-F(-u)}{F(u)-F(-u)}}, & |x|\le u; \vspace{1mm}\\0, & x<-u.\end{cases}\eqno(2) $$ Moreover, the random variable $N_n(u)$ can be assumed to be independent of the sequence $X_1^{(\le u)},X_2^{(\le u)},\ldots$ For definiteness, if $N_n(u)=0$, then the sum $S_n^{(\le u)}$ is set equal to zero. Similarly, for $x\in\R$ we have $$ {\sf P}(S_n^{(>u)}<x)\eqd {\sf P}\Big(\sum\nolimits_{j=0}^{n-N_n(u)}X_j^{(>u)}<x\Big),\eqno(3) $$ where $N_n(u)$ is {\it the same as in} (1) and is independent of the independent random variables $X_1^{(>u)},X_2^{(>u)},\ldots$ that have one and the same distribution function $$ F^{(>u)}(x)\equiv {\sf P}(X_1^{(>u)}<x)={\sf P}\big(X_1\I_{\{|X_1|>u\}}<x\big|\,|X_1|>u\big)= $$ $$ =\frac{{\sf P}(X_1<x;\,|X_1|> u)}{{\sf P}(|X_1|> u)}=\begin{cases}{\displaystyle\frac{F(x)}{F(-u)+1-F(u)}}, & x<-u;\vspace{2mm}\\{\displaystyle\frac{F(-u)}{F(-u)+1-F(u)}}, & |x|\le u;\vspace{2mm}\\{\displaystyle\frac{F(-u)+F(x)-F(u)}{F(-u)+1-F(u)}}, & x>u. \end{cases}\eqno(4) $$ For definiteness, if $N_n(u)=n$, then the sum $S_n^{(>u)}$ is set equal to zero. Moreover, in (1) and (3) the random variables $X_1^{(\le u)},X_2^{(\le u)},\ldots,X_1^{(>u)},X_2^{(>u)},\ldots$ can be assumed to be jointly independent while the random variables $S_n^{(\le u)}$ and $S_n^{(> u)}$ are {\it not} independent and are related by the random variable $N_n(u)$. \smallskip {\sc Lemma 1.} {\it Let $A\in\mathfrak{F}$, $B\in\mathfrak{F}$. Then ${\sf P}(AB)\ge{\sf P}(A)-{\sf P}(\overline{B})$.} \smallskip The {\sc proof} is elementary. \smallskip The uniform (Kolmogorov) distance between the distribution functions $F_{\xi}$ and $F_{\eta}$ of random variables $\xi$ and $\eta$ will be denoted $\rho(F_{\xi},\,F_{\eta})$, $\rho(F_{\xi},\,F_{\eta})=\sup_x|F_{\xi}(x)-F_{\eta}(x)|$. The normal distribution function with expectation $a\in\R$ and variance $\sigma^2>0$ will be denoted $\Phi_{a,\sigma}(x)$, $$ \Phi_{a,\sigma}(x)=\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^{x}\exp\Big\{-\frac{(z-a)^2}{2\sigma^2}\Big\}dz=\Phi_{0,1}\Big(\frac{x-a}{\sigma}\Big)= \Phi_{0,\sigma}(x-a),\ \ \ x\in\R. $$ \smallskip {\sc Lemma 2.} {\it For any $a\in\R$, $\sigma>0$, $b\in\R$} $$ \rho(\Phi_{a+b,\,\sigma},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})= 2\Phi_{0,\sigma}\big({\textstyle\frac{|b|}{2}}\big)-1. $$ \smallskip {\sc Proof.} First, note that if $H(x)$ and $G(x)$ are two differentiable distribution functions, then $\rho(H,G)$ is realized (the supremum in $\sup_x|H(x)-G(x)|$ is attained) at one of the points $x$ where $F'(x)=G'(x)$. Indeed, we have $$ \rho(H,G)=\sup_x|H(x)-G(x)|=\max\big\{\max_x\big[H(x)-G(x)\big], \max_x\big[G(x)-H(x)\big]\big\}, $$ and the extremum of each of the expressions in braces on the right-hand side is attained at the point where the derivative of the corresponding expression is equal to zero, which is equivalent to the equality of the derivatives of the distribution functions $H$ and $G$, that is, to the equality of the corresponding densities. In the case under consideration the latter condition is equivalent to that $$ \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp\Big\{-\frac12\Big(\frac{x-a-b}{\sigma}\Big)^2\Big\}= \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\exp\Big\{-\frac12\Big(\frac{x-a}{\sigma}\Big)^2\Big\}, $$ or $\big(x-(a+b)\big)^2=(x-a)^2$. Solving this equation we obtain $x-a=\frac{b}{2}$ yielding the desired result with the account of the relation $\Phi_{0,\sigma}(-|b|)=1-\Phi_{0,\sigma}(|b|)$. \smallskip Using the Lagrange formula, it is easy to deduce from Lemma 2 that $$ \rho(\Phi_{a+b,\,\sigma},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})\le \frac{|b|}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}} $$ (see, e. g., inequality (3.4) in \cite{Petrov1972}). \smallskip {\sc Lemma 3}. {\it For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ let $\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_n$ be random variables, $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ be positive numbers such that $a_1+\ldots+a_n=1$. Then for any $x>0$ $$ {\sf P}\Big(\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n\xi_j\Big|\ge x\Big)\le\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n{\sf P}(|\xi_j|\ge a_jx). $$ If, in addition, the random variables $\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_n$ are identically distributed, then $$ {\sf P}\Big(\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n\xi_j\Big|\ge x\Big)\le n{\sf P}\big(|\xi_1|\ge {\textstyle\frac{x}{n}}\big). $$ } \smallskip {\sc Proof}. First, note that $$ {\sf P}\Big(\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n\xi_j\Big|\ge x\Big)\le{\sf P}\Big(\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n|\xi_j|\ge x\Big). $$ Next, from geometrical considerations it follows that $$ \Big\{\omega:\, \sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n|\xi_j(\omega)|\ge x\Big\}\subseteq\big\{\omega:\,|\xi_1(\omega)|\ge a_1x\big\}\bigcup \Big\{\omega:\, \sum\nolimits_{j=2}^n|\xi_j(\omega)|\ge (1-a_1)x\Big\}\subseteq $$ $$ \subseteq\big\{\omega:\,|\xi_1(\omega)|\ge a_1x\big\}\bigcup\big\{\omega:\,|\xi_2(\omega)|\ge a_2x\big\}\bigcup \Big\{\omega:\, \sum\nolimits_{j=3}^n|\xi_j(\omega)|\ge (1-a_1-a_2)x\Big\}\subseteq\ldots $$ $$ \ldots\subseteq\bigcup_{j=1}\nolimits^n\big\{\omega:\,|\xi_j(\omega)|\ge a_jx\big\}. $$ Therefore, $$ {\sf P}\Big(\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n\xi_j\Big|\ge x\Big)\le{\sf P}\Big(\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n|\xi_j|\ge x\Big)\le $$ $$ \le{\sf P}\Big(\bigcup\nolimits_{j=1}^n\big\{\omega:\,|\xi_j(\omega)|\ge a_jx\big\}\Big)\le\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n{\sf P}(|\xi_j|\ge a_jx). $$ The lemma is proved. \smallskip {\sc Lemma 4}. {\it For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ let $\xi_1,\ldots,\xi_n$ be random variables such that ${\sf E}|\xi_j|^{\delta}<\infty$ for some $\delta>0$, $j=1,\ldots,n$.

Statement (i) is elementary, statement (ii) was proved in \cite{BahrEsseen1965}. \section{Main results} Consider the upper bound for the uniform distance between the distribution of the normalized sum $$ S_n^*=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^nX_j $$ and the normal law with some expectation $a\in\R$ and variance $\sigma^2>0$. The choice of concrete values of $a$ and $\sigma^2$ will be discussed later. From what has been said it follows that $$ S_n^*\eqd\frac{S_n^{(\le u)}}{\sqrt{n}}+\frac{S_n^{(> u)}}{\sqrt{n}}. $$ For brevity and convenience, we will use the notation $$ \zeta_n=\frac{S_n^{(\le u)}}{\sqrt{n}},\ \ \ \eta_n=\frac{S_n^{(> u)}}{\sqrt{n}}. $$ \smallskip {\sc Theorem 1.} {\it Let $u>0$ be arbitrary. Then for any $a\in\R$ and $\sigma>0$ we have} $$ \rho(F_{\zeta_n+\eta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})\le\rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})+n\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big).\eqno(5) $$ \smallskip {\sc Proof}. Let $\epsilon>0$ be arbitrary. According to Lemma 1 we have $$ {\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)={\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x;\,|\eta_n|\le\epsilon)+{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x;\,|\eta_n|>\epsilon)\ge $$ $$ \ge{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x-\eta_n;\,|\eta_n|\le\epsilon)\ge{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x-\epsilon;\,|\eta_n|\le\epsilon)\ge{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x-\epsilon)-{\sf P}(|\eta_n|\ge\epsilon).\eqno(6) $$ On the other hand, obviously, $$ {\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)={\sf P}(\zeta_n<x-\eta_n;\,|\eta_n|\le\epsilon)+{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x;\,|\eta_n|>\epsilon)\le $$ $$ \le{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x+\epsilon;\,|\eta_n|\le\epsilon)+{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x;\,|\eta_n|>\epsilon)\le{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x+\epsilon)+{\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon).\eqno(7) $$ It is easy to see that $$ |{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)|=\max\big\{{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x),\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)-{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)\big\}.\eqno(8) $$ Using (7) and Lemma 2 we obtain $$ {\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)\le {\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)+\big[{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x+\epsilon)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x+\epsilon)\big]+ $$ $$ +\big[\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x+\epsilon)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)\big]\le{\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)+\rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})+ \big[2\Phi_{0,\sigma}\big({\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\big)-1\big].\eqno(9) $$ Using (6) and Lemma 2 we obtain $$ \Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)-{\sf P}(\zeta_n+\eta_n<x)\le \Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)-{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x-\epsilon)+{\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)= $$ $$ =\big[\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x-\epsilon)\big]-\big[{\sf P}(\zeta_n<x-\epsilon)-\Phi_{a,\,\sigma}(x-\epsilon)\big]+ {\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon) \le $$ $$ \le\rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})+{\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)+\big[2\Phi_{0,\sigma}\big({\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\big)-1\big].\eqno(10) $$ Substituting (9) and (10) in (8) we obtain $$ \rho(F_{\zeta_n+\eta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})\le\rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})+\big[2\Phi_{0,\sigma}\big({\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\big)-1\big]+ {\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon).\eqno(11) $$ To estimate the last term on the right-hand side of (11) use representation (3) for $S_n^{(>u)}$. With the account of the convention $\sum_{j=0}^0=0$, by the formula of total probability we have $$ {\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)={\sf P}\Big(\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^{n-N_n(u)}X_j^{(>u)}\Big|>\epsilon\sqrt{n}\Big)= $$ $$ =\sum_{k=1}^nC_n^k\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)^k \big(F(u)-F(-u)\big)^{n-k}{\sf P}\Big(\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^kX_j^{(>u)}\Big|>\epsilon\sqrt{n}\Big).\eqno(13) $$ Estimating the probability in the last expression by Lemma 3, continuing (13) we obtain $$ {\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)\le\sum_{k=1}^nC_n^k\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)^k \big(F(u)-F(-u)\big)^{n-k}k{\sf P}\big(|X_j^{(>u)}|>{\textstyle\frac{\epsilon\sqrt{n}}{k}}\big)\le $$ $$ \le{\sf P}\big(|X_j^{(>u)}|>{\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{\sqrt{n}}}\big)\cdot\sum_{k=1}^nC_n^k\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)^k \big(F(u)-F(-u)\big)^{n-k}k= $$ $$ =n\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big){\sf P}\big(|X_j^{(>u)}|>{\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{\sqrt{n}}}\big). $$ Substitution of this bound in (11) yields $$ \rho(F_{\zeta_n+\eta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})\le\rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})+\big[2\Phi_{0,\sigma}\big({\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\big)-1\big]+ n\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big){\sf P}\big(|X_j^{(>u)}|>{\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{\sqrt{n}}}\big).\eqno(14) $$ Now let $\epsilon\to 0$ in (14) and obtain the desired result. The theorem is proved. \smallskip In practice, the values of the parameters $a$ and $\sigma$ can be chosen by the following reasoning. It is easy to verify (say, by the consideration of characteristic functions) that $$ S_n^{(\le u)}\eqd\sum\nolimits_{j=1}^n\widetilde{X}_j^{(\le u)}, $$ where $\widetilde{X}_1^{(\le u)},\ldots,\widetilde{X}_n^{(\le u)}$ are independent identically distributed random variables, $$ \widetilde{X}_j^{(\le u)}=\begin{cases}X_j^{(\le u)} & \text{ with probability } F(u)-F(-u);\vspace{2mm}\\ 0 & \text{ with probability } F(-u)+1-F(u).\end{cases} $$ Then in accordance with (3), the parameter $a$ can be defined as $$ a=a(u)={\sf E}\widetilde{X}_1^{(\le u)}=[F(u)-F(-u)]{\sf E}X_1^{(\le u)}, $$ and the parameter $\sigma^2$ can be defined as $$ \sigma^2=\sigma^2(u)={\sf D}\widetilde{X}_1^{(\le u)}=[F(u)-F(-u)]{\sf D}X_1^{(\le u)}+[F(-u)+1-F(u)]\big({\sf E}X_1^{(\le u)}\big)^2. $$ With these values of $a$ and $\sigma$ the first term on the right-hand side of (5) will tend to zero by the central limit theorem as $n\to\infty$, and can be estimated by the standard techniques, say, by the Berry--Esseen inequality for binomial random sums, see \cite{KorolevDorofeeva2017, KorolevShevtsova2012}. As regards the second term on the right-hand side of (5), with large $u$, $p=F(u)-F(-u)$ close to one and moderate (but large enough) $n$ the term $\eta_n$ may be small due to that the sum $S_n^{(>u)}$ contains very few summands. Moreover, in the case of light tails, putting $u=u_n$ so that $n[F(-u)+1-F(u_n)]\to 0$ as $n\to\infty$, it is possible to make sure that the right-hand side of (5) can be made arbitrarily small by the choice of arbitrarily large $n$ so that the limit distribution for the normalized sum $S_n^*$ will be normal. Under some additional conditions, at the expense of introducing additional parameter, the dependence of the second term of the bound given in Theorem 1 on $n$ can be made better. \smallskip For $c\in(0,2]$ let $h(c)=\I_{(1,2]}(c)$. \smallskip {\sc Theorem 2}. {\it Assume that the distribution function $F(x)$ belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law with characteristic exponent $\alpha\in(0,2)$. If, moreover, $\alpha\ge1$, then additionally assume that $F$ is symmetric $($that is, $F(-x)=1-F(x)$ for $x>0$$)$. Then for any $u>0$ $\epsilon>0$ and $\delta\in(0,\alpha)$ we have} $$ \rho(F_{\zeta_n+\eta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})\le\rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\,\sigma})+\big[2\Phi_{0,\sigma}\big({\textstyle\frac{\epsilon}{2}}\big)-1\big]+ 2^{h(\delta)}\epsilon^{-\delta}n^{1-\delta/2}\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big){\sf E}\big|X_1^{(>u)}\big|^{\delta}.\eqno(15) $$ \smallskip {\sc Proof}. The starting point of the proof is inequality (11). In accordance with the result of \cite{Tucker1975}, in the case under consideration ${\sf E}|X_1|^{\delta}<\infty$ for any $\delta\in(0,\alpha)$, and hence, ${\sf E}|X_1^{(>u)}|^{\delta}<\infty$. Moreover, if $\alpha>1$, then the mathematical expectation of $X_1$ exists and, due to the assumption that in that case the distribution of $X_1$ is symmetric, ${\sf E}X_1=0$. Therefore by representation (3), the Markov inequality, and Lemma 4, continuing (13) we obtain $$ {\sf P}(|\eta_n|>\epsilon)\le\frac{1}{\epsilon^{\delta}n^{\delta/2}}\sum\nolimits_{k=0}^{n}C_n^k\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)^k\big(F(u)-F(-u)\big)^{n-k} {\sf E}\Big|\sum\nolimits_{j=0}^kX_j^{(>u)}\Big|^{\delta}\le $$ $$ \le\frac{2^{h(\delta)}{\sf E}\big|X_1^{(>u)}\big|^{\delta}}{\epsilon^{\delta}n^{\delta/2}}\sum\nolimits_{k=0}^nC_n^kk\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)^k\big(F(u)-F(-u)\big)^{n-k}= $$ $$ =2^{h(\delta)}\epsilon^{-\delta}n^{1-\delta/2}\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big){\sf E}\big|X_1^{(>u)}\big|^{\delta}.\eqno(16) $$ The theorem is proved. \smallskip We see that in (15) the exponent of $n$ is less than that in (5). However, in (15) an additional parameter $\epsilon$ appeared. The second term on the right-hand side of (15) can be made arbitrarily small by the appropriate choice of $\epsilon$. With $n$ and $\epsilon$ fixed, the third term on the right-hand side of (15) can be made arbitrarily small by the choice of large enough $u$. Actually Theorems 1 and 2 are simple variants of a so-called pre-limit theorem, see \cite{Klebanov1999}. As an illustration of how Theorem 2 acts, consider the following example. \smallskip {\sc Example}. Assume that the random variables $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ have common probability density $$ f(x)=\frac{3}{4(1+|x|)^{5/2}},\ \ \ x\in\R. $$ The corresponding distribution function has the form $$ F(x)=\begin{cases}{\displaystyle\frac{1}{2(|x|+1)^{3/2}}}, & x<0;\vspace{2mm}\\ {\displaystyle 1-\frac{1}{2(x+1)^{3/2}}}, & x\ge0.\end{cases} $$ This distribution function belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law with characteristic exponent $\frac32$. It is easy to make sure that in this case, according to (4), we have $$ {\sf E}|X_1^{(>u)}|=2\int_{0}^{\infty}xdF^{(>u)}(x)={\textstyle\frac32}(u+1)^{3/2}\int_u^{\infty}\frac{xdx}{(1+x)^{5/2}}=3(u+1)-1. $$ Hence, choosing $\delta=1$ we see that the right-hand side of (16) is $$ \frac{\sqrt{n}(1-p){\sf E}|X_1^{(>u)}|}{\epsilon}=\frac{\sqrt{n}(3u-2)}{2\epsilon(u+1)^{3/2}}=\frac{\sqrt{n}}{2\epsilon}\Big[\frac{3}{\sqrt{u+1}}+ o\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}\Big)\Big] $$ as $u\to\infty$. Therefore, with fixed $\epsilon>0$ and $n$ by choosing $u$ large enough the third summand on the right-hand side of (15) can be made arbitrarily small. \section{On the threshold value of the number of summands} Consider the problem of determination of $n_0$ such that for $n$ growing from 1 to $n_0$ the distance $\rho(F_{\zeta_n+\eta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\sigma})$ decreases and for $n>n_0$ this distance increases. Assume that the first summand on the right-hand side of (5) is estimated by the Berry--Esseen inequality $$ \rho(F_{\zeta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\sigma})\le \frac{C_0\widetilde{L}_3^{(\le u)}}{\sqrt{n}}, $$ where $\widetilde{L}_3^{(\le u)}$ is the Lyapunov fraction, $$ \widetilde{L}_3^{(\le u)}=\frac{{\sf E}\big|\widetilde{X}_1^{(\le u)}-{\sf E}\widetilde{X}_1^{(\le u)}\big|^3}{\big({\sf D}\widetilde{X}_1^{(\le u)}\big)^{3/2}}, $$ $C_0>0$ is the absolute constant, $C_0\le 0.4690$ \cite{Shevtsova2014}. It is easy to verify that if $c>0$, $d>0$, then $$ \mathrm{arg}\min_{z>0}\Big(\frac{c}{\sqrt{z}}+dz\Big)=\Big(\frac{c}{2d}\Big)^{2/3}. $$ Putting $z=n$, $c=C_0\widetilde{L}_3^{(\le u)}$, $d=F(-u)+1-F(u)$, we see that the minimum of the upper bound for $\rho(F_{\zeta_n+\eta_n},\,\Phi_{a,\sigma})$ is attained at $n_0$ which is either the integer part of $$ z_0=\bigg(\frac{C_0\widetilde{L}_3^{(\le u)}}{2\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)}\bigg)^{2/3}, $$ or at $n_0+1$. Now assume that conditions of Theorem 2 hold. Then we have $$ \mathrm{arg}\min_{z>0}\Big(\frac{c}{\sqrt{z}}+dz^{1-\delta/2}\Big)=\bigg(\frac{c}{2d(1-\frac{\delta}{2})}\bigg)^{\frac{2}{3-\delta}} $$ so that $$ z_0=\bigg(\frac{C_0\widetilde{L}_3^{(\le u)}}{2(1-\frac{\delta}{2})\big(F(-u)+1-F(u)\big)}\bigg)^{\frac{2}{3-\delta}}, $$ \renewcommand{\refname}{References}

TITLE: Complex analysis computation of $Im(f(z)-f(z_0))$ QUESTION [2 upvotes]: I have a computation that I wanted to carry out and know the answer. My issue is that when I did the computation I did not arrive at the answer that I know to be true. I would really appreciate a fresh set of eyes to comment on my work. For $f(z)= kz- \sqrt{z}$ we want to compute Im$[f(z)-f\left(\frac{1}{4k^2}\right)]=0$, where $k$ is a real number. What we should obtain is a parabola $x= \frac{1}{4k^2}-k^2y^2$. My computations Consider that Im$[f(z)-f\left(\frac{1}{4k^2}\right)]=0$ is the same as Im$[f(z)]=$Im$[f\left(\frac{1}{4k^2}\right)]$. Then I compute $f(\frac{1}{4k^2})=k \frac{1}{4k^2} - \sqrt{\frac{1}{4k^2}} =\frac{1}{4k}- \frac{1}{2k}= -\frac{1}{4k}$ Where we know that this is real thus we know the Im$[f\left(\frac{1}{4k^2}\right)]=0$ To compute Im$[f(z)]=0$ we let $z= x+iy$ then we observe Im $[ k(x+iy) -\sqrt{x+iy}]=0$ Which is equivalent to Im$[k(x+iy)]=$Im$[\sqrt{x+iy}]$. Then to deal with the sqrt I use the exponential definition of complex numbers and see that $r= \sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ and $\theta$ be the corresponding angle. Thus Im$[k(x+iy)]=$Im$[\sqrt{x+iy}]$ is the same as $ky=$Im$[r^{1/2} e^{\theta/2}]$. Then using Eulers identity to make $e^{\theta/2} =\cos \theta/2+i \sin \theta/2$. Then we get that $$ky= r^{1/2} \cos\theta/2.$$ Squaring both sides we obtain $$k^2y^2= r \cos^2 \theta/2.$$ Using trig we get $$k^2y^2=\frac{1}{2} r(1+ \cos \theta).$$ Now using that $\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r}$ we get $$k^2y^2 = \frac{1}{2}(r+ x).$$ We can turn $r$ into $x$ and $y$, $$k^2y^2= \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{y^2+x^2} +x).$$ However that is not the answer that is given to be true, i.e. $x= \frac{1}{4k^2}-k^2y^2$. I would really appreciate comments and solutions. REPLY [2 votes]: A mistake I see is that the imaginary part of $r^{1/2}e^{\theta/2}$ is $r^{1/2}\sin\theta/2$ (and not cosine). The change is minor, though: your last equality changes to $$ k^2y^2= \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{y^2+x^2} -x). $$ So $$ \sqrt{x^2+y^2}=x+2k^2y^2. $$ Squaring, $$ x^2+y^2=x^2+4xk^2y^2+4k^4y^4, $$ so, after subtracting $x^2$ and dividing by $y^2$, $$ 1=4xk^2+4k^4y^2. $$ Solving for $x$, $$ x=\frac1{4k^2}-k^2y^2. $$

Well, it’s been a few weeks since my last entry here, which normally indicates a lack of activity on my part. In this case though, nothing could be further from the truth. Firstly there was a couple of trips to the wall that were, well, uneventful. And then there was a four day trip to the Montserrat Massif with the chaps at climbcatalunya last weekend, which turned out to be one of the greatest things I’ve ever done, culminating in a multi-pitch to the top of one of the pinnacles that make up the startlingly dramatic landscape of the summit of the massif. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The trip started pretty badly actually, with a long wait on the runway at Stansted due to fog in Barcelona. There were meant to be four of us climbing for the weekend - however, at that moment Sol & I were sitting at Stansted, while Eddie and Champ were sitting at Luton for exactly the same reason. Eventually Barcelona air traffic control declared that they could see well enough, and we got going, arriving there a couple of hours later to be met by our guides for the weekend, Gee and Carole. We all piled into Gee’s Landy, and headed straight from the airport up to the massif. The landscape is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. And rather than trying (and failing,no doubt) to describe it, let’s see if I can find a photo. Ah - yup, here we go. (Image copyright someone else. No idea who. Hope they don’t mind me linking to it, but as I’m the only person ever likely to read this, I don’t suppose they’ll notice the extra bandwidth). Well, as you can guess, we were all pretty excited to see something like this, and couldn’t wait to get started. Important things first though, we stopped at the cafe and had coffee and a sandwich before heading up the funicular railway, and a short walk in to the base of six or seven climbs, all about 25 metres. Now, given that the only place I’ve ever clipped a bolt before now is at the wall at Hatfield, I had two immediate concerns. Firstly, where were the big plastic juggy holds? Secondly, why were the bolts four or five metres apart? I had about twenty minutes or so to ponder on this, as Sol decided to lead the first climb. This sort of technical fidgety climbing is right up his street, and he fairly whistled up the climb before tying off at the top and abbing back down with an enormous smile on his face. So… My turn. My first outdoor sports lead, on an unfamiliar rock type best describe as ‘entertainingly bolted’. I needn’t have worried. It took a few metres to get used to the technique for moving up on this rock (just look for any kind of feature, no matter how small, jam your toe on/into it and stand up. Don’t bother looking for handholds - there aren’t any. If you find a handhold, it’s usually cause for quite a celebration) but move up I did. The runout between the bolts really didn’t bother me actually, as I was enjoying the climb so much and concentrating on the movements. I made it to the top, clipped into the lower-off with a handy quickdraw, and turned around to look at the view before rethreading. Wow. Really wow*10^6 - now I’d cleared the trees at the base of the climb I could see clearly, and the view was stunning. Anyhow. Acutely aware that I was hanging on a single piece of protection, I decided that rethreading was a good idea, and then it hit me that my actions in the next minute or so would have a distinct effect on the length and excitement of the rest of my life… I checked the knot four times before shouting to Sol to take up the slack in the rope while I unclipped the quickdraw. I was back on the ground twenty seconds later, in complete control, with the biggest smile on my face. The rest of the afternoon was spent at the same face, trying different routes, and chilling out enjoying ourselves. I probably made about three climbs, before attempting one last one but dropping off half way through ‘cos I was hungry, and tired having been up since 4am in order to catch the plane. For tea, Gee and Carole took us to a local restaurant where we had cold beer, tapas, squid and chips. Perfect… Next day dawned bright and beautiful, with some stunning views from our refuge down to the mist in the valley below. I’ve got some photos somewhere which I’ll upload when I get an hour spare. Anyhow, a long day on the south face of the massif beckoned, so we breakfasted, drank coffee, and all bundled into the car. The walk-in was a bit more strenuous this time, with a bit of ‘bushwhacking’ as Gee described it to get to the base of the first face. Gee scuttled off up a 6a+ climb to put a rope up for us, Sol led up a very technical 5+, while I settled for the easy option and led up a nicely situated 4+ just around the corner. In fact, I liked it so much I pulled the rope down, and led up the route immediately next to it as well. The sun was up, and I was feeling good. I then had a go at top-roping Gee’s 6a+ route, and suddenly realised that despite feeling good, I wasn’t Johnny Dawes. I got about 12 metres up, and just fell off. So I tried again, made it to about 13 metres, and this time just gave up. I’m not sure why, but this knocked me back a bit, and I completely failed to complete any further climbs that day, including a beautiful technical crack line that Gee picked out when he saw I was struggling with the technical climbing. I couldn’t help feeling that for some reason I was letting everyone else down by not giving it 100% effort. Sol & Eddie on the other hand were both giving it at least 100% effort, and proved it by both climbing a beautiful 30 metre neighbouring route involving a chimney, some bridging, laybacking from a hanging flake, traversing an undercut before clipping in to the lower-off a full 30 metres up. A beautiful route, but quite beyond me. I sat at the bottom, sulked a little, and realised that just because a line is there, I don’t *have* to climb it. I can appreciate it just as much by looking at it and working how I’d approach the climb if I was technically capable. Food. Beer. Zzzzzzz… Next day, and another sector on the South face with another fearsome walk-in. First route up was a brutal looking chimney, straight up, a full 30 metres. I belayed while Eddie led it, and it was obviously a struggle, as it took him 30 minutes or so. My turn… I like this kind of climbing more than the technical nadgery stuff we’d been doing up to that point, so was expecting to enjoy this climb and do well. But, yesterday’s demons were still haunting me as I got to a tricky narrowing of the chimney about 15 metres up, and rather than press on, just bailed out when I looked down and got scared. I was furious with myself. Bloody furious. It was such a beautiful piece of rock, and well within my ability. So I cleaned the crap off my shoes, told the demons to piss off and got back on there. 10 minutes later I was at the lower-off, feeling bloody marvellous. From there, it was straight onto a very technical “six something plus I guess” that was next to me. And here, I had another epiphany. I got to a very reachy technical move which normally I’d just shrug my shoulders at and drop off saying “can’t do that”. This time, however, I had a big sweary moment. I really shouted. Lots. And, with a final scream of “f*cksocks” I pulled up on a handhold that was no wider than a pencil using a pebble hole no bigger than a large grape for my toe before driving straight through another less than enormous hold up to a “resting point” which was actually a small ledge smaller than my mobile phone. I closed my eyes, breathed very very deeply, and relaxed. At this moment Sol took a picture, so rather than capturing the most dynamically explosive move of the weekend, it actually looks like I’m having a snooze. I’m sure I climbed something else later that day, but I’m already having difficulties remembering exactly what I did and when I did it. What I do remember is eating sausage and chips for tea in a local bar and drinking a couple of cold beers before suggesting to Gee that we maybe have a pop at a small, easy, multi-pitch route the next day. And, next day, I was standing at the bottom of one of the massif pinnacles after a 7c+ walk-in wondering what on earth I’d done. It was about a 100 metre climb in all, with a traverse, two 30 metre pitches and a final 20 metre scramble to the summit. Champ had flown home ill the day before, so the plan was for Gee to lead me, and then Sol and Eddie to follow us up exchanging the lead. There was a lot of ropework to learn, and Gee was brilliant at explaining everything at ground level, demonstrating as he went along. So, all geared up, he started off along the traverse. Eventually I heard the call of “safe” so took him off belay, shouted “that’s me” as the rope came taught, and started off. I’ve never done a traverse before, and bloody hell, this was a baptism of fire. It started off easy enough, but there were only three bolts over the entire length of the pitch. And the second one was immediately *before* the hardest set of moves, so if I’d slipped there I would have had a 10 metre swing out over the trees. It’s safe to say at this point that my mind was concentrated wonderfully. I made the belay ’stance’ (actually, it was technically a hanging belay, as there was no ledge at all, just a couple of bolts and a chain) clipped in, and breathed a huge sigh of relief. Gee then went through exactly what was going to happen next, and exactly what my responsibilities were as I belayed him up. Off he went. The first bolt was a good four metres above, so a fall while reaching to clip it would have been entertaining for both of us. Of course, he didn’t fall. He vanished round the corner, and 10 minutes later again I heard the call of “safe” and the process repeated itself. The climbing wasn’t too tricky - a couple of balancey moves, but really, a lot easier than we’d been doing the day before. The exposure was completely different though, as I was acutely aware that I was starting from a point 20 metres up, and climbing another 30 metres from there. It was fantastic. The next belay point was a cave, where we stopped, had a quick bite to eat and a drink, and again, a lesson in constructing safe anchors and belaying off them. I felt enormously privileged to be there - on a global scale, a mere handful of people had ever sat in this cave and seen this view. Next pitch was more of the same. 30 metres of quite simple climbing up to the next belay. At which point, rather than making myself safe, Gee just told me to scramble the final metres up to the summit being bloody careful not to fall off as the only protection was from his belay point. I crawled onto the top of the pinnacle, clove-hitched my rope to a rusty old piece of kit bolted on up there, and sat down. I’d made it. And just sitting here typing it up is enough to give me a huge surge of adrenaline. The feeling was completely and utterly indescribable. I don’t care that it wasn’t the highest pinnacle on the massif. It was the proudest moment of my life in terms of achievement, and I had about 30 minutes of complete solitude up there while Gee waited at the belay for Sol and Eddie to make their way up. I’m not a spiritual person, but sitting up there, completely alone, on the summit was the closest I’ve ever been to a spiritual revelation. Enough of this though. As anyone will tell you, a climb is not over until you’re safe on the ground again, and we had a two pitch abseil ahead of us, using full length ropes. I made a bit of a meal of this to be honest, as my belay plate doesn’t work too well for abbing on two full ropes, so I bounced my way down, and managed to jam my thumb in the bloody thing just to add injury to insult. (As I write this, I am debating what to replace it with). The last abseil pitch was the most risky part of the whole day, for two reasons. Firstly, the back of the chimney we were descending was very loose so a lot of rock came down. Secondly, there was a bees nest at the bottom. But, we all made it down, thanked Gee profusely for the help and guidance, and prepared for the flight home. (Actually, there was a lot of chilling out and chatting, but my typing finger is hurting now). I got home after midnight. Tired, but immensely, immensely proud. Enormous thanks to Gee and Carole for their hospitality, assistance, good humour, coffee and encouragement. I’ll be back again. No doubt.

Regardless of what you need to do, Will not overdo it! When you've got been a heel striker almost all of your life, it'll take heaps of work to switch to forefoot striking. In case you produce lasting suffering, halt and check with a health practitioner. Jerrod “These are definitely pretty much the only real sneakers I dress in now. Inside a 7 days of putting them on, my plantar fasciitis wholly disappeared. I did some arch stretches for the duration of this time, but that’s all it took." My favored Brancas style feature will be the heel strap. Independent of the laces, the heel strap firmly locks your heel set up thus protecting against your foot from slipping off the back again from the sandal thanks to it staying constructed from an elastic, one particular-inch large rubber. Racers can exhibit their personal best time with PR beads. Get Imaginative, have some fun… and ship shots to point out us what you’ve carried out! Lems boots are Tremendous great and rugged looking! They seem to be extra adaptable and have a thinner sole when compared with traditional boots. My partner at present purchases what ever he can discover at a discount so I would like to let him know there are actually other, improved alternatives in which his foot are going to be extra cozy, less confined, but nevertheless shielded. They're at the highest of the checklist for him! Allow me to commence out by indicating: bare is best. Each time and wherever you can go barefoot, I remarkably suggest you are doing for many different causes. You could read through about some health advantages of barefooting or find out how to guide a barefoot Life-style. I would be willing to bet that they are quite great at fooling folks into thinking that you happen to be donning open up toed sneakers, as you are doing need to glance intently to begin to see the absence of the sole. Matthew: Unshoes makes several different sandals they mass industry on their own website, which attribute a minimalist sole with a few tactical strapping. They resemble a minimalist Model of Teva's basically. Many of the "injuries" that individuals encounter when transitioning to flip flops are due to the fact flip flops do let you make use of the muscles and structures of your toes for stabilization because the footbed is normally flat, like the bottom, and habitual shoe wearers would knowledge precisely the same aches and pains transitioning to strolling barefoot more. These barefoot running sandals are lightweight, pretty at ease and functional. They can practically cope with any terrain that you will be Discovering. I do like the choices they've for customizing with colors and sole thickness. They even have the option to exclude the strap concerning your toes. I only wore them for the couple of months right before resulting to whole-time barefooting. They might have Discover More helped with spanning out my toes plus they did assist to eliminate a calus within the side of my foot that I didn't know I'd. Now, soon after 7 months of strict barefooting, After i place my FiveFingers on and they are definitely unpleasant.

This is provided to low-income locals, but you might certify even if you consider yourself middle-class. Your income and medical expenditures will be taken into account, and if you certify, a lot of or even all of your expenses will be paid for. You merely have to check out the requirements for your state, and then apply. What Do Substance Abuse Counselors Do? You have to substance abuse counseling get to be a watchful watch-dog over your very own mind. Observe where your attention wants to go. Master how to handle it and direct it where you prefer, or it will handle you! You may or might not like the garden that you wind up in. Also check online Community Directories and regional organisation directory sites online. There ought to be one for the majority of locations in the United States. Then start calling around. , if you are looking for specific requirements in a center bring this up to anybody you are on the phone with.. It may take 5-10 call to find the location you are trying to find. Likewise ask if they accept personal insurance coverage if you have any, and specifically if they accept the insurance you have through your company. Those who fight with alcohol or drug dependency are discovering that frequently the “treatment professionals” or traditional thinking isn’t really assisting, however making things worse. The success rate for standard substance abuse treatment is not that high which suggests that most of those who enter treatment will not prosper. In addition to this, those who do not enter treatment have as high or greater success rate in eliminating their addictive habits! They inform you regression belongs of treatment! What? Then why go? If something does not produce appropriate results, why continue in it? Since we have actually been led to think by the treatment experts that it is the only way! While during your recovery you will be appointed a group of therapists. Your counselors will assemble a treatment plan based upon your info and their expert suggestions. Know precisely what steps they prepare to take. Houston Delaware 19954 Substance Abuse Centers: What Is Drug Abuse? If your kid grows older, as mine did, you may even need to utilize some “tough love” to make them see they will lose all their help, pals, and household. My child might have been helped a lot earlier, if I had not kept enabling him! This kind of love is extremely difficult, however ultimately the drug abuser typically sees the effect their way of life is having on the ones they love. Obviously, teenagers aren’t going to like being challenged about their habits. As moms and dads, you might hear some difficult feedback and be asked to respond to concerns that feel intrusive. However in the middle of this, you and your kid must feel like the therapist truly appears to care and to understand. To Conclude It is possible to keep your kid from using drugs, however only if you take efficient steps to assist them prevent needing to end up in a drug abuse rehabilitation. Four million Americans look for substance abuse treatment each year. That implies four million shattered families and lives filled with torment. Through education, you can prevent your household from going through such an experience. Talk with your child about exactly what drugs do, and exactly what drug dealers state. As the old stating goes, much better safe than sorry.
