Semimodular lattices with isomorphic graphs

Two discrete modular lattice and have isomorphic graphs if and only if is of the form A × and is of the form A × for some lattices A and and . We prove that for discrete semimodular lattices and this latter condition holds if and only if and have isomorphic graphs and the isomorphism preserves the order on all cover-preserving sublattices of which are isomorphic to the seven-element, semimodular, nonmodular lattice (see Figure 1). This answers in the affirmative a question posed by J. Jakubik.     

Adjungierte Funktoren in der Kategorie der p-Bornologischen Räume

In the category p b of p-convex vector spaces and linear maps preserving bounded sets a p-bornological topology will be introduced on the tensor product of two spaces, likewise on the spaces of morphisms Hom(E,F). Thus one gets a pair of adjoint functors from p to p , p being the category of p-bornological spaces and continuous linear maps, and the topologies being introduced will be characterized by extreme properties with respect to the adjoint transformations.

Characterization,structure and analysis on abelian ℒ∞ groups

An abelian topological group is an group if and only if it is a locally -compactk-space and every compact subset in it is contained in a compactly generated locally compact subgroup. Every abelian groupG is topologically isomorphic to G ₀ where ₀ andG ₀ is an abelian group where every compact subset is contained in a compact subgroup. Intrinsic definitions of measures, convolution of measures, measure algebra,L ₁-algebra, Fourier transforms of abelian groups are given and their properties are studied.     

Smoothability of the Conformal Boundary of a Lorentz Surface Implies 'Global Smoothability'

In 1985, Kulkarni defined the conformal boundary of a simply connected and time-oriented Lorentzian surface . He also introduced a notion of 'smoothability' of this boundary, depending only on local properties of . In this paper we show that smoothability of is in fact a global property of . In doing so, we classify Lorentzian surfaces with smoothable boundaries up to conformal homeomorphism. To be specific, suppose that the Minkowski plane E ² ₁ is the x,y-plane with metric dxdy. Our main theorem states that if is smoothable then is conformally homeomorphic to the interior U of a Jordan curve in E ² ₁ that is locally the graph of a continuous function over either the x-axis or the y-axis at each point of U.     

Laurent–Jacobi Matrices and the Strong Hamburger Moment Problem

Let be the linear space of the Laurent polynomials and suppose that <, < is a positive-definite Hermitian inner product in with the additional property that . Starting from the five-term recurrence relation for orthogonal Laurent polynomials with respect to <, <, we derive Laurent–Jacobi matrices and for the multiplication operator and its inverse in . These matrices are real and symmetric, and generates a symmetric operator in the Hilbert space ² with natural basis { e _n } _{n = 0} . We show that this operator has deficiency indices (0, 0) or (1, 1) and that every self-adjoint extension A in ² has simple spectrum with generating vector e ₀. Let E be the spectral measure of A. Then the measure _{e 0} given by _{e 0}() =<E() e ₀, e ₀< for all Borel sets in , satisfies forf,g. In this way, we obtain a solution _{e 0} of the Strong Hamburger Moment Problem (SHMP) for which is dense in L ²( _{e 0}). Some results concerning the relation between the deficiency indices andthe set of all solutions of the SHMP are established. Finally, we give an analogue of a theorem by M. H. Stone which tells us which self-adjoint operators are generatedby a Laurent–Jacobi matrix with deficiency indices (0, 0).     

Normal bundles of rational curves inP 3

LetP ^r=P _k ^r be the projective space over an algebraically closed ground field k. Let X be a rational space cur ve of degree n with only ordinary singularities. Since X is rational, the normal bundleN of X inP ³ splits inN = _{1 2} where ₁, and ₂ are line bundles, and we have deg ₁ + deg ₂ = 4n – 2. We consider the non-negative integer defined by 2 = |deg ₁ – deg ₂|. The aim of this paper is to determine all possible values of and to describe the variety parametrizing all twisted rational curves inP ³ with only ordinary singularities for a fixed degree n and fixed .The paper was supported by C.N.R., while both authors were members of GNSAGA     

Tidy Noether lattices

A Noether lattice satisfying the union condition on primes which is not a domain and in which every nonzero principal element is integrally closed is characterized in terms of its direct summands. It is shown that either: (1) if has no proper nonzero direct summands, then every nonzero principal element of is integrally closed if and only if is a local Noether lattice whose maximal element is principal and has square zero; or (2) if has a proper nonzero direct summand, then every nonzero principal element of is integrally closed if and only if for each minimal direct summandA of, the quotient lattice [0,A] is an integrally closed domain.Presented by R.

Commutativity of operators on the lattice of existence varieties

In a previous paper the authors introduced seven complete congruences on the lattice _ev(I of e-varieties of regular semigroups of the form _P :U _P VPU=PV, whereP is drawn from a small set of e-varieties: left zero, right zero, rectangular bands, groups, left groups, right groups and completely simple semigroups. Four new complete congruences are introduced here of the form _P :U _P VPU=PV, whereP is one of the following classes of regular semigroups: left monoids, right monoids, monoids, idempotent generated semigroups. For each complete congruence on _ev(I) and eachU_ev(I), the -class ofU is an interval [U ,U ] so that there is associated with each such congruence an idempotent operatorUU on _ev(I). This paper establishes numerous results concerning the commutativity of operators of this form.This work was supported in part by NSERC Grant 4044.     

Lower norm error estimates for approximate solutions of differential equations with non-smooth coefficients

Summary In this paper, we derive error estimates inL _p-norm, 1p, for the ₂-Finite Element approximation to solutions of boundary value problems, where the coefficients are functions of bounded variation. The ₂-Finite Element Method was introduced in [3] and was shown to be effective for problems with non-smooth coefficient.The results of this paper form a part of a Ph.D. thesis written at the University of Maryland under the direction of Professor J.E.

Removability of singularities in potential theory

IfQ is a compact metric space, a system of its closed subsets andg: R a prescribed nonnegative function, the conditions ong, and a closedF Q are specified guaranteeing the existence of a nontrivial Borel measure with support inF such that (L)g(L), L.For some kernels in potential theory these conditions permit to characterize geometrically those sets which contain support of a nontrivial measure whose potential belongs to a given class of functions. Several applications concerning removability of singularities of partial differential equations are presented.

On an isomorphism problem on the closed-set lattice of a graph

Let (G) and V(G) be, respectively, the closed-set lattice and the vertex set of a graph G. Any lattice isomorphism : V(G)(G) induces a bijection : V(G)V(G) such that for each x in V(G), (x)=x' in V(G') iff ({x})={x'}. A graph G is strongly sensitive if for any graph G' and any lattice isomorphism : (G)(G), the bijection induced by is a graph isomorphism of G onto G'. In this paper we present some sufficient conditions for graphs to be strongly sensitive and prove in particular that all C ₄-free graphs and all covering graphs of finite lattices are strongly sensitive.     

Hilbert lattices with the extension property

Separable Hilbert lattices are constructed that enjoy the following property: each ortho-isomorphism between arbitrary interval sublattices [0, a] and [0, b] of height at least 3 (a, b ) extends to an ortho-automorphism of the lattice #x2112.     

Dual-lattice theorems in the geometric approach

A one-to-one correspondence is shown to exist between the lattice of all self-bounded (A, )-controlled invariants contained in and the lattice of all self-hidden (A, )-conditioned invariants containing . This correspondence, stated herein as the main dual-lattice theorem, allows a straightforward derivation of the universal bounds of the lattices, particularly when additional constraints are imposed, such as to contain a given subspace for the elements of the former lattice and to be contained in a given subspace for the elements of the latter. Then, two further minor dual-lattice theorems, dual to each other, are presented, and some connections and applications of the new theory to standard control and observation problems are briefly discussed.     

Complete lattices of subgroups in compact groups

Summary LetG be a compact group and a sublattice of the lattice of all closed subgroups ofG. In Proposition 1 it is shown that is a complete lattice if it is a closed subset of the spaceG ^c of all closed non empty subsets ofG. In general the converse of this fact is not true (Example 3), but the following result can be obtained (Theorem 5): If is complete and if each element of is normalized by the connected component of the identity ofG, then is a closed, totally disconnected subset ofG ^c. We mention the following corollary: IfG is totally disconnected or abelian, then is complete if and only if it is a closed subset ofG ^c.While writing this paper the author was a fellow of the National Research Council (A 7171).     

On a Laplace Transform Based Metric for Probabilities on a Hilbert Space

Let D be a closed subset of a real separable Hilbert space H. Let (D) denote the set of all Borel probability measures on D and (D) the set of all probabilities with integrable Laplace transform. A metric d, based on the Laplace transform, is defined on (D). Topological properties, viz., separability, connectedness, completeness, compactness and local compactness, of (D, d are investigated, and the d-topology is compared with the topology of weak convergence.     

Support functions of convex compacta

The properties of the space (X_x) of all sublinear functionals, defined on a space X' (topologically adjoint to a Hausdorff locally convex barrelled space X) and continuous in the Arens topology × (X, X), equipped with topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of X are studied. It is shown that completeness and separability of a space X are hereditary for (X_x). Criteria for the compactness of subsets of (X_x) and conditions for the metrizability of compacta in (X_x) are given. The topological isomorphism between (X_x) and the space of all nonempty convex compacta in X with the Vietoris topology is established. The results obtained here are applied for the study of the properties of multiple-valued integrals.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 2, pp. 203–213, August, 1977.The author thanks S.

Generalized ornstein-uhlenbeck process having a characteristic operator with polynomial coefficients

Summary Let be a weighted Schwartz's space of rapidly decreasing functions, the dual space and (t) a perturbed diffusion operator with polynomial coefficients from into itself. It is proven that (t) generates the Kolmogorov evolution operator from into itself via stochastic method. As applications, we construct a unique solution of a Langevin's equation on : whereW(t) is a Brownian motion and ^*(t) is the adjoint of (t) and show a central limit theorem for interacting multiplicative diffusions.     

Flocks of a quadratic cone in PG(3, q), q ≤ 8

If (O) is a quadratic cone in PG(3,q), with vertex x, then a flock of (O) is a partition of (O)-{x} into q disjoint conics. With such a flock there correspond a translation plane of order q ² and a generalized quadrangle of order (q ², q). Here we determine all flocks of (O) for q 8.
