Li, Huajie. "Contributions to the relative trace formula of Guo-Jacquet." Thesis, Université de Paris (2019-....), 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020UNIP7080.
Full textWe establish global and local trace formulae for infinitesimal symmetric spaces of Guo-Jacquet. We also prove several local results concerning the comparison of regular semi-simple terms which are noninvariant weighted orbital integrals. This thesis contains five chapters. In Chapter 1, we recall the motivations and state our main reults. Our work is inspired by a conjecture of Guo-Jacquet, which is an example in the relative Langlands programme, and analytic problems appearing in the relative trace formula approach. In Chapter 2, we establish an infinitesimal variant of Guo-Jacquet trace formula for the case of (GL (2n, D), GL (n, D) ⨉GL (n, D)). It is a kind of Poisson summation formula obtained by an analogue of Arthur’s truncation. We describe regular semi-simple terms as explicit weighted orbital integrals. In Chapter 3, we estabilish a similar formula and have a similar description of regular semi-simple terms for the case of a central simple algebra containing a quadratic extension. Moreover, we state and prove the weighted fundamental lemma thanks to Labesse’s work on the base change for GL(n). In Chapter 4, we establish an infinitesimal invariant local trace formula of Guo-Jacquet over a p-adic field by following works of Waldspurger and Arthur. During the proof, we also obtain an infinitesimal noninvariant local trace formula, Howe’s finiteness for weighted orbital integrals and the representability of the Fourier transform of weighted orbital integrals. In Chapter 5, with the results in previous chapters, we adopt Waldspurger’s strategy on the endoscopic transfer to prove some relations between Fourier transforms of invariant local weighted orbital integrals

Full textIn this thesis, we give an explicit geometric formula for the twisted semisimple orbital integrals associated with the heat kernel on symmetric spaces. For that purpose, we use the method of the hypoelliptic Laplacian developed by Bismut. We show that our results are compatible with classical results in local equivariant index theory. We also use this formula to evaluate the leading term of the asymptotics as d -> + ∞ of the equivariant Ray-Singer analytic torsion associated with a sequence of flat vector bundles Fd on a compact locally symmetric space. We show that the leading term can be evaluated in terms of the W-invariants constructed by Bismut-Ma-Zhang

Full textWe study the Newton stratification of Shimura varieties of PEL type, at the places of good reduction. We consider the basic stratum of certain simple Shimura varieties of PEL type at a place of good reduction. Under simplifying hypotheses we prove a relation between the l-adic cohomology of this basic stratum and the cohomology of the complex Shimura variety. In particular we obtain explicit formulas for the number of points in the basic stratum over finite fields, in terms of automorphic representations. We obtain our results using the trace formula and truncation of the formula of Kottwitz for the number of points on a Shimura variety over a finite field. We prove, using the trace formula that any Newton stratum of a Shimura variety of PEL-type of type (A) is non-empty at a prime of good reduction. This result is already established by Viehmann-Wedhorn; we give a new proof of this theorem. We consider the basic stratum of Shimura varieties associated to certain unitary groups in cases where this stratum is a finite variety. Then, we prove an equidistribution result for Hecke operators acting on the basic stratum. We relate the rate of convergence to the bounds from the Ramanujan conjecture of certain particular cuspidal automorphic representations on Gl_n. The Ramanujan conjecture turns out to be known for these automorphic representations, and therefore we obtain very sharp estimates on the rate of convergence. We prove that any connected reductive group G over a non-Archimedean local field has a cuspidal representation. Together with Erez Lapid we compute the Jacquet module of a Ladder representation at any standard parabolic subgroup of the general linear group over a non-Archimedean local field
Bouthier, Alexis. "Géométrisation du côté orbital de la formule des traces." Thesis, Paris 11, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA112064.
Full textThis main goal of this work is to construct and study the properties of Hitchin fibration for groups which appears naturally when we try to geometrize the trace formula. We begin by constructing this fibration using the Vinberg’s semigroup. On this semigroup, we show that there exists a characteristic polynomial morphism equipped with a natural section, analog at the Kostant’s one in the case of Lie algebras. We also show that there exists on the base of characteristic polynomials a regular centralizer scheme, which is a smooth commutative group scheme.Then, we are interested in some variant of affine Springer fibers, for which we see that the Vinberg’s semigroup appears naturally to obtain an integrality condition analog to Kazhdan-Lusztig’s one. These affine Springer fibers are local incarnation of Hitchin fibers.In a third time, we go back to the global case and give a modular interpretation of this new Hitchin fibration on which we construct an action of a Picard stack, coming from the regular centralizer.The total space of this fibration, even on the generically regular semisimple locus will be singular and we want to understand his intersection complex. This space can be obtained as the intersection of the Hecke stack with the diagonal of the stack of G-bundles and we show that on a sufficiently big open subset of the Hitchin base, the intersection complex of the Hitchin’s space is the restriction of the corresponding intersection complex on the Hecke stack.Finally, in the last part of this work, we establish a support theorem in the case of a singular total space, generalizing Ngo’s theorem et we show that in the case of Hitchin fibration, the supports that appear are related to the endoscopic strata

Full textDuring my thesis we studied two specific problems in quantum chaos. First we confirmed the percolation mod describing the nodal lines of wavefunction of classically chaotic systems. These lines were described via a certain Schrammm Loewner Evolution process and our study agrees with the recent theorem stating that it is linked with the critical percolation. Secondly we generalized results in quantum chaos weil known for closed billiards to open dielectric cavities. We gave general formulas for a slight pertubation of a circular cavity and proposed a generalized trace formula for these systems. We especially gave the first terms of a Weyl expansion in order to count the resonances of a dielectric cavity. These results agree weil with experimental data and numerical simulations. Both these studies show how fundamental and transverse techniques of quantum chaos are for topical problems

Full textWe are interested in the analytical aspects of the spectral statistics of quantum diffractive systems. Dynamical systems have a classical behaviour which ranges from integrable to chaotic or intermediate, and there seems to be a correspondance between this classical behaviour and the quantum properties of the system. This work is a study of the spectral correlation functions of integrable systems perturbed by a singularity: infinitely small scattering center (delta-like potential), singular corner in a billiard, Aharonov-Bohm flux line. It was possible to obtain analytically the expression of the form factor at the origin for some specific systems: rectangular or circular billiard with Aharonov-Bohm flux line, triangular billiards with "Veech property", barrier billiards. The analytical results agree with numerics and support the existence of a statistical behaviour common to all intermediate systems. In order to obtain the whole expansion of the form factor the contribution of diffractive orbits must be taken into account. We use a semiclassical method which allows to resume all contributions of interactions between periodic and diffractive orbits, and obtain the analytical expansion of the form factor for a rectangular billiard with a scattering center. The distribution of the distance between nearest-neighbours is computed analytically for the same system; its asymptotic behaviour demonstrates that such a system shares features with both integrable and chaotic systems, thus verifying the conjecture for intermediate systems

Full textl'aide du calcul résiduel dans les cadres projectifs et toriques.
Dans la première partie, on obtient une caractérisation algébrique des formes traces sur une hypersurface analytique à l'aide du calcul résiduel élémentaire d'une variable. En conséquence, une version plus forte du théorème d'Abel-inverse de Henkin et Passare est prouvée. On montre que ce théorème est conséquence de la rigidité d'un système différentiel particulier lié à une équation de type ”onde de choc” et on établit le lien avec le théorème de Wood sur l'algébricité d'une famille de germes d'hypersurfaces analytiques. Enfin, on obtient une nouvelle méthode pour calculer la dimension de l'espace des formes abéliennes de degré maximal sur une hypersurface projective.
Dans la seconde partie, on caractérise de manière combinatoire les familles de fibrés en droites permettant de définir une notion intrinsèque de concavité dans une variété torique complète lisse et on étudie les ensembles analytiques dégénérés correspondants. On étend ainsi la notion de trace au cas torique. Courants résidus, résidus toriques et résultants donnent une borne optimale sur le degrés des traces en les différents paramètres. Si la variété torique est projective, on obtient finalement une version torique des théorèmes de Wood et d'Abel-inverse, permettant une description plus précise du support du polynôme construit dans le cas hypersurface.

Full textThis thesis is part of a research program on Conformal field theory and representations of Lie algebra of dollar\frak{sl}_2dollar (real, complex, dollarpdollar-adic, dollarqdollar-derfomed). We study a real, dollarpdollar-adic and dollarqdollar-deformed versions of a triple integral appeared in physics in connection with the Liouville model of the Conformal field theory. These integrals turn out to be connected with the Dyson-Macdonald constant term identities. We also give another approach to compute the complex case by using Bernstein-Reznikov's technique. The main idea is to apply invariant functionals on principal series representations of dollarG=SL(2,\mathbb C)dollar. Finally, one defines a dollarqdollar-deformation of Jacquet-Langlands principal series representations of dollarGL_2(\mathbb R)dollar and prove the uniqueness of an invariant triple functional on them by using method of H. Y. Loke. Alongside, we find out some relations to similar differential equations in [NSU]

Full textWe present several results linked by the tools and by the underlying structures we use (iterated integrals, shuffle products). In the first part, we are interested in the computation of integrals of Selberg type and in their asymptotics when the number of variables tends to infinity. In the general case, we show that the result can be expressed as a product whose number of factors does not depend on the number of variables (under certain conditions). If the power of the Vandermonde determinant equals 2, the limit of the integral when the number of variables tends to infinity can be computed with operators related to Newton’s interpolation. The second part has two sections which are related to special functions called hyperlogarithms. We start with the question of the linear independence of a family of functions obtained by iterated integrals and give a criterion that links the properties of the whole family to the behavior of the functions obtained by simple integrals. We show how to construct the required fields of germs of analytic functions which play an important role. Several examples allow us to extend the known results. Then we come back to the free algebra and the properties of dual families, our main interest being Schützenberger’s factorisation. We recall some classical results in the partially commutative case ; then we consider the family obtained by dualisation from the Lyndon words. It is not possible to write the factorisation for these dual families but we make precise the nature of the elements of the family obtained by duality. Finally, we present a criterion that gives a condition on the dual families for the factorisation to hold

Full textWe study the semi-classical trace formula on the level of a critical energy for a h-pseudo-differential operator on {R}{̂n} with a unique non-degenerate critical point of the principal symbol. In particular we consider the case where the hessian matrix of the principal symbol at the critical point is non-definite. This lead to the study of Hamiltonan systems near equilibrium and near the non zero periods of the linearised flow. The contributions of these periods leads to reformulate the problem in term of degenerate oscillatory integrals. The new contributions are interpreted in term of the local geometry of the energy surface and the classical dynamic on this energy surface

Full textThe study of the analytical properties of the modular L-functions is a deep subject in number theory. Up to now, the properties have essentially been established in the case of prime or squarefree level. The aim of this thesis is to give the analytic properties in the arithmetically opposite case of prime power level. The family of L-functions under consideration is the one obtained when the valuation of the level is varying. In particular, we provide a trace formula that allows to compute the third moment of the central values of modular L-functions and to study the vanishing of these L values

To do this, we pass to the automorphic side by Langlands correspondence, then use Arthur’s non-invariant trace formula and link this number to the number of Fq-points of the moduli space of stable Higgs bundles

Full textThis thesis offers a survey on the theory of Sobolev and BV functions in the setting of metric measure spaces. We compare different characterizations of such spaces in order to emphasize their relationships along with the conditions which ensure the equivalence of the definitions. Then, we discuss the differential structure introduced by N. Gigli in a paper of 2014 to give a new definition of BV functions in the RCD(K,\infty) setting, making use of suitable vector fileds. Later, in the metric doubling setting with Poincaré inequality, we give new integration by parts formulæ via "divergence-measure" vector fields to attack the issue of traces of BV functions. We compare the theory of "rough traces" (re-adapted to the present setting, cfr. V. Maz'ya) with the trace operator defined via Lebesgue points, finding the conditions under which the two characterizations coincide.
