Chu-Dualität und zwei Klassen maximal fastperiodischer Gruppen

This is a continuation of the paper Zwei Klassen lokalkompakter maximal fastperiodischer Gruppen, [6]. In [6], the classes and were introduced. We give sufficient conditions to conclude thatG is in if one knows thatG/G ₀ is in . If a groupG is in and ifG satisfies the Chu-duality then all closed subgroups ofG satisfy the Chu-duality. The Chu-quasi-dual of the Heisenberg groupH with integral coefficients is computed. It is shown thatH does not satisfy the Chu-duality, thatH is in , and thatH is not in .     

Homogeneous algebraic varieties defined by Jordan pairs

Every Jordan pair defines an algebraic varietyX containing as a dense open subset.X is projective (affine) if and only if is separable (radical). The Picard group ofX is generated by the irreducible factors of the generic norm of . If is separable then the automorphism group ofX is the projective group of .     

Operator inequalities and construction of Krein spaces

Let be a Hilbert space. A continuous positive operatorT on uniquely determines a Hilbert space which is continuously imbedded in and for which with the canonical imbedding . A Kreîn space version of this result, however, is not valid in general. This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for that a continuous selfadjoint operatorT uniquely determines a Kreîn space ( ) which is continuously imbedded in and for which with the canonical imbedding .     

On the convergence of powers of interval matrices (2)

Summary Let be a real irreduciblen×n interval matrix. Then a necessary and sufficient condition is given for the sequence of the powers of an interval matrix to converge to a matrix which is not the null matrix. In addition a criterion for is proved to decide whether the limit matrix satisfies the condition of symmetry .     

On periodic groups of automorphisms of extremal groups

It is proved that if a periodic group has an extremal normal divisor , determining a complete abelian factor group , then the center of the group contains a complete abelian subgroup , satisfying the relation and intersecting on a finite subgroup. It is also established with the aid of this proposition that every periodic group of automorphisms of an extremal group is a finite extension of a contained in it subgroup of inner automorphisms of the group .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 91–96, July, 1968.     

Über zweiparametrige ebene Bewegungsvorgänge

TheBlaschke-Grünwald-map associates to each surface in the quasielliptic space a planar euclidean two-parameter motion . Using this map we find kinematic meanings of the Gaussian quasielliptic curvature and furthermore some theorems about the asymptotic motions of . The kinematic equivalent of the relation of left-conjugated tangents in points of is a regular or singular projectivity on each poleline of . This projectivities have been studied already byH. J. E. Beth andW. v.d. Woude. We show that in every position the quadratic curvature transformations of almost all one-parameter motions of are determined by .     

Topological and bornological characterisations of ideals in von Neumann algebras: I

Suppose is a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space and is any ideal in . We determine a topology on , for which the members of that are to norm continuous are exactly those in ; and a bornology on such that the elements of which map the unit ball to an element of , equivalently those members of that are norm to bounded, are exactly those in . This is achieved via analogues of the notions of injectivity and surjectivity in the theory of operator ideals on Banach spaces.

LetF be an algebraic number field and F such thatx ^m– is irreducible, wherem is an integer. Let be a prime ideal inF with . The prime decomposition of in is explicitly obtained in the following cases. Case 1: , (a,m) = 1 (where means , 0 ). Case 2:m lt, wherel is a prime andl 0 . Case 3:m 0 and every prime that dividesm also dividespf–1. It is not assumed that thev ^th roots of unity are inF for anyv 2.

The space of minimal prime ideals in a 0-distributive semilattice

LetS be a 0-distributive semilattice and be its minimal spectrum. It is shown that is Hausdorff. The compactness of has been characterized in several ways. A representation theorem (like Stone's theorem for Boolean algebras) for disjunctive, 0-distributive semilattices is obtained.     

Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules: A New Direction in the Structure Theory of Representations

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a -module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra , M is locally -finite and has finite -multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when is a Cartan subalgebra. We also review the recent determination of which reductive in subalgebras are essential to a classification. Finally, we present in detail the emerging picture for the case when is a principal 3-dimensional subalgebra.     

Positive elements in the algebra of the quantum moment problem

Summary Let denote the extended Weyl algebra, , the Weyl algebra. It is well known that every element of of the formA=B _k ^* B _k is positive. We prove that the converse implication also holds: Every positive elementA in has a quadratic sum factorization for some finite set of elements (B _k ) in . The corresponding result is not true for the subalgebra . We identify states on which do not extend to states on . It follows from a result of Powers (and Arveson) that such states on cannot be completely positive. Our theorem is based on a certain regularity property for the representations which are generated by states on , and this property is not in general shared by representations generated by states defined only on the subalgebra .Work supported in part by the NSF     

Elementary properties of free extensions

For any partial groupoid , let Fr be the free extension of to a total groupoid. We show that implies and that the theory of Fr is uniformly recursive in the theory of . These results fail if “groupoid” is replaced by “semigroup”, “commutative semigroup”, “group”, “abelian group”, “semilattice”, “K-lattice” for any nontrivial varietyK of lattices, or “Boolean algebra”.

Invariant differental forms on compact nilmanifolds

Let N=G/ be a compact nilmanifold, G a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with its discrete subgroup and Lie algebra . Let I* ( ) denote the invariant differential forms on .If I* ( ) H* ( ) is an injective map, then G is abelian and N is a torus. Furthermore, N has a formal minimal model. If N is an even-dimensional compact nilmanifold, it has a Kähler structure and invariant symplectic structure if and only if I* ( ) H* ( ) is injective.     

Primitive systems of elements in the variety\mathfrak{A}\mathfrak{N}_2 and some locally finite varieties of groupsand some locally finite varieties of groups

Part of any basis of a relatively free group in the variety is called a primitive system of elements. We provide a criterion of being primitive for , where is a variety of Abelian groups satisfying x^m=1, and a variety generated by a finite group. Let be a variety of nilpotent groups of class ≤c. It is proved that, for the group , the property of being primitive for an element g is stronger than the condition of being unimodular on a vector composed of values of Fox derivatives in the ring . The group is not residually finite whenever a system of elements is primitive. Supported by RFFR grant No. 96-01-01948.

The class of orthomodular lattices which have only finitely many commutators is investigated. The following theorems are proved: contains the block-finite orthomodular lattices. Every irreducible element of is simple. Every element of is a direct product of a Boolean algebra and finitely many simple orthomodular lattices. The irreducible elements of which are modular, or are M-symmetric with at least one atom, have height two or less.     

Kinematik in der Laguerre-Ebene I

The geometry of the real Laguerre-plane is defined as the Cayley-Klein-geometry of a 3-dimensional affine space with a non-degenerate absolute conic in the ideal plane. A one-parametric family of transformations of the Laguerre-plane is called a . In this paper the kinematical foundations of the -motions are developed. Furthermore there is given a linear construction of the tangents of the curves generated under a -motion. At the end the dual and the inverse -motions are considered.     

Groupwise density and related cardinals

We prove several theorems about the cardinal associated with groupwise density. With respect to a natural ordering of families of nond-ecreasing maps from to, all families of size are below all unbounded families. With respect to a natural ordering of filters on, all filters generated by sets are below all non-feeble filters. If then and . (The definitions of these cardinals are recalled in the introduction.) Finally, some consequences deduced from by Laflamme are shown to be equivalent to .
