Semiprime smash products and -stable prime radicals for PI-algebras

Assume that is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field and that is an -module algebra satisfying a polynomial identity (PI). We prove that if is semisimple and is -semiprime, then is semiprime. If is cosemisimple, we show that the prime radical of is -stable.

     

A reduction theorem for the topological degree for mappings of class

The reduction theorem for the Leray-Schauder degree provides an efficient tool to calculate the value of the degree in a suitable invariant subspace. We shall prove how the calculation of the value of the topological degree for a mapping of class from a real separable reflexive Banach space into the dual space can be reduced into the calculation of degree of mapping from a closed subspace into Since the Leray-Schauder mappings are acting from to and we are dealing with mappings from to the standard `invariant subspace' condition must be replaced by a less obvious one.

In this paper we show the following sharp result: For any positive integers and , if there is such that the fractional part of is , then there are at least such subsets of . This extends an earlier result of M. Z. Zhang and an extension by Z. W. Sun. Also, we generalize the above result to -covers of the integral ring of any algebraic number field with a power integral basis.

Cross -sections of star bodies and dual mixed volumes

In this paper, we establish an extension of Funk's section theorem. Our result has the following corollary: If is a star body in whose central -slices have the same volume (with appropriate dimension) as the central -slices of a centered body , then the dual quermassintegrals satisfy , for any , with equality if and only if . The case that is a centered body implies Funk's section theorem.

Universal spaces for almost -dimensionality

We find universal functions for the class of lower semi-continuous (LSC) functions with at most -dimensional domain. In an earlier paper we proved that a space is almost -dimensional if and only if it is homeomorphic to the graph of an LSC function with an at most -dimensional domain. We conclude that the class of almost -dimensional spaces contains universal elements (that are topologically complete). These universal spaces can be thought of as higher-dimensional analogues of complete Erdos space.
