A characterization of the hereditary categories derived equivalent to some category of coherent sheaves on a weighted projective line

Let be a connected hereditary abelian category over an algebraically closed field , with finite dimensional homomorphism and extension spaces. There are two main known types of such categories: those derived equivalent to for some finite dimensional hereditary -algebra and those derived equivalent to some category of coherent sheaves on a weighted projective line in the sense of Geigle and Lenzing (1987). The aim of this paper is to give a characterization of the second class in terms of some properties known to hold for these hereditary categories.

     

Parallel tangent hyperplanes

Let be a smooth strictly convex closed hypersurface in and let be any oriented smooth connected manifold immersed in Suppose that is a continuous function from to Then there is at least one point such that the hyperplane tangent to at is parallel to the hyperplane tangent to the immersed manifold at the point corresponding to If there did not exist at least two such points, would have to be compact and the Hurewicz homomorphism of into would have to be surjective. If in addition our immersion was an embedding, the Euler characteristic of would have to be equal to For any and any immersed we could always get maps for which the number of points satisfying the conditions of our theorem exactly equaled two. An example can be given in which both and are the unit sphere about the origin in and there is only one such point .

We prove that if the attractor is an -set and is absolutely continuous with respect to , the Hausdorff -dimensional measure restricted on the attractor , then is absolutely continuous with respect to (i.e., they are equivalent). A special case of the result was considered by Mauldin and Simon (1998). In another direction, we also consider the -property of the Radon-Nikodym derivative of and give a condition for which is unbounded.

Radicals and Plotkin's problem concerning geometrically equivalent groups

If and are groups and is a normal subgroup of , then the -closure of in is the normal subgroup of . In particular, is the -radical of . Plotkin calls two groups and geometrically equivalent, written , if for any free group of finite rank and any normal subgroup of the -closure and the -closure of in are the same. Quasi-identities are formulas of the form for any words in a free group. Generally geometrically equivalent groups satisfy the same quasi-identities. Plotkin showed that nilpotent groups and satisfy the same quasi-identities if and only if and are geometrically equivalent. Hence he conjectured that this might hold for any pair of groups. We provide a counterexample.

For this answers a question raised by Carl, Kyrezi, and Pajor which has been solved up to now only for the Hilbert space case by F. Gao.

     

Van der Waerden spaces

A topological space is van der Waerden if for every sequence in there exists a converging subsequence so that contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions. Not every sequentially compact space is van der Waerden. The product of two van der Waerden spaces is van der Waerden.

The following condition on a Hausdorff space is sufficent for to be van der Waerden:

The closure of every countable set in is compact and first-countable.

A Hausdorff space that satisfies satisfies, in fact, a stronger property: for every sequence in :

There exists so that is converging, and contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions and sets of the form for arbitrarily large finite sets .

There are nonmetrizable and noncompact spaces which satisfy . In particular, every sequence of ordinal numbers and every bounded sequence of real monotone functions on satisfy .

Relative Brauer groups and -torsion

Let be a field and its Brauer group. If is a field extension, then the relative Brauer group is the kernel of the restriction map .

In this paper, we consider the -torsion subgroup consisting of the elements of killed by , where is a positive integer, and ask whether it is an algebraic relative Brauer group. The case is already interesting: the answer is yes for squarefree, and we do not know the answer for arbitrary. A counterexample is given with a two-dimensional local field and .

Number of singularities of a foliation on

Let be a one dimensional foliation on a projective space, that is, an invertible subsheaf of the sheaf of sections of the tangent bundle. If the singularities of are isolated, Baum-Bott formula states how many singularities, counted with multiplicity, appear. The isolated condition is removed here. Let be the dimension of the singular locus of . We give an upper bound of the number of singularities of dimension , counted with multiplicity and degree, that may have, in terms of the degree of the foliation. We give some examples where this bound is reached. We then generalize this result for a higher dimensional foliation on an arbitrary smooth and projective variety.

A class of differentiable toral maps which are topologically mixing

We show that on the 2-torus there exists a open set of regular maps such that every map belonging to is topologically mixing but is not Anosov. It was shown by Mañé that this property fails for the class of toral diffeomorphisms, but that the property does hold for the class of diffeomorphisms on the 3-torus . Recently Bonatti and Diaz proved that the second result of Mañé is also true for the class of diffeomorphisms on the -torus ().

In this paper, we investigate the Hansen-Mullen conjecture with the help of some formal series similar to the Artin-Hasse exponential series over -adic number fields and the estimates of character sums over Galois rings. Given we prove, for large enough , the Hansen-Mullen conjecture that there exists a primitive polynomial over of degree with the -th ( coefficient fixed in advance except when if is odd and when if is even.
