We calculate the automorphism group $mathrm{Aut}(Delta_{g, w})$ for $g geq 1$ and arbitrary $w$, and we calculate the group $mathrm{Aut}(Delta_{0, w})$ when $w$ is heavy/light. In both of these cases, we show that $mathrm{Aut}(Delta_{g, w}) cong mathrm{Aut}(K_w)$, where $K_w$ is the abstract simplicial complex on ${1, ldots, n}$ whose faces are subsets with $w$-weight at most $1$. We show that these groups are precisely the finite direct products of symmetric groups. The space $Delta_{g, w}$ may also be identified with the dual complex of the divisor of singular curves in the algebraic Hassett space $overline{mathcal{M}}_{g, w}$. Following the work of Massarenti and Mella on the biregular automorphism group $mathrm{Aut}(overline{mathcal{M}}_{g, w})$, we show that $mathrm{Aut}(Delta_{g, w})$ is naturally identified with the subgroup of automorphisms which preserve the divisor of singular curves.","PeriodicalId":51269,"journal":{"name":"Portugaliae Mathematica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46755860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonlocal operator $mathcal{L}_a:H^s_0(Omega)to H^{-s}(Omega)$ is defined with a measurable, bounded, strictly positive singular kernel $a(x,y)$, possibly not symmetric, by [langlemathcal{L}_au,vrangle=P.V.int_{mathbb{R}^d}int_{mathbb{R}^d}v(x)(u(x)-u(y))a(x,y)dydx=mathcal{E}_a(u,v),] with $mathcal{E}_a$ being a Dirichlet form. Also, the fractional operator $tilde{mathcal{L}}_A=-D^scdot AD^s$ defined with the distributional Riesz $s$-fractional derivative and a bounded matrix $A(x)$ gives a well defined integral singular kernel. The corresponding $s$-fractional obstacle problem converges as $snearrow1$ to the obstacle problem in $H^1_0(Omega)$ with the operator $-Dcdot AD$ given with the gradient $D$. We mainly consider problems involving the bilinear form $mathcal{E}_a$ with one or two obstacles, and the N-membranes problem, deriving a weak maximum principle, comparison properties, approximation by bounded penalization, and the Lewy-Stampacchia inequalities. This provides regularity of the solutions, including a global estimate in $L^infty(Omega)$, local H\"older regularity when $a$ is symmetric, and local regularity in $W^{2s,p}_{loc}(Omega)$ and $C^1(Omega)$ for fractional $s$-Laplacian obstacle-type problems. These novel results are complemented with the extension of the Lewy-Stampacchia inequalities to the order dual of $H^s_0(Omega)$ and some remarks on the associated $s$-capacity for general $mathcal{L}_a$.","PeriodicalId":51269,"journal":{"name":"Portugaliae Mathematica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47723559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
