Forbidden (0,1)-vectors in Hyperplanes of $$\mathbb{R}^{n}$$: The unrestricted case

In this paper, we continue our investigation on “Extremal problems under dimension constraints” introduced [1]. The general problem we deal with in this paper can be formulated as follows. Let be an affine plane of dimension k in . Given determine or estimate .Here we consider and solve the problem in the special case where is a hyperplane in and the “forbidden set” . The same problem is considered for the case, where is a hyperplane passing through the origin, which surprisingly turns out to be more difficult. For this case we have only partial results.AMS Classification: 05C35, 05B30, 52C99     

Beckman-Quarles type theorems for mappings from $$ \mathbb{R}^n $$ to $$ \mathbb{C}^n $$

Summary. Let We say that preserves the distance d 0 if for each implies Let A _n denote the set of all positive numbers d such that any map that preserves unit distance preserves also distance d. Let D _n denote the set of all positive numbers d with the property: if and then there exists a finite set S _xy with such that any map that preserves unit distance preserves also the distance between x and y. Obviously, We prove: (1) (2) for n 2 D _n is a dense subset of (2) implies that each mapping f from to (n 2) preserving unit distance preserves all distances, if f is continuous with respect to the product topologies on and      

On lattices of convex sets in {\mathbb{R}}^{n}

Properties of several sorts of lattices of convex subsets of are examined. The lattice of convex sets containing the origin turns out, for n > 1, to satisfy a set of identities strictly between those of the lattice of all convex subsets of and the lattice of all convex subsets of The lattices of arbitrary, of open bounded, and of compact convex sets in all satisfy the same identities, but the last of these is join-semidistributive, while for n > 1 the first two are not. The lattice of relatively convex subsets of a fixed set satisfies some, but in general not all of the identities of the lattice of “genuine” convex subsets of To the memory of Ivan RivalReceived April 22, 2003; accepted in final form February 16, 2005.This revised version was published online in August 2005 with a corrected cover date.     

On the Convergence of Products γ^-sh1hn in the Adams Spectral Sequence

Abstract Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra and S the sphere spectrum localized at p, where p is an odd prime. In 2001 Lin detected a new family in the stable homotopy of spheres which is represented by （b0hn-h1bn-1）∈ ExtA^3,（p^n＋p）q（Zp,Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence. At the same time, he proved that i.（hlhn） ∈ExtA^2,（p^n＋P）q（H^＊M, Zp） is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectral sequence and converges to a nontrivial element ξn∈π（p^n＋p）q-2M. In this paper, with Lin＇s results, we make use of the Adams spectral sequence and the May spectral sequence to detect a new nontrivial family of homotopy elements jj′j^-γsi^-i′ξn in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. The new one is of degree p^nq ＋ sp^2q ＋ spq ＋ （s - 2）q ＋ s - 6 and is represented up to a nonzero scalar by hlhnγ-s in the E2^s＋2,＊-term of the Adams spectral sequence, where p ≥ 7, q = 2（p - 1）, n ≥ 4 and 3 ≤ s 〈 p.     

Graph homology of the moduli space of pointed real curves of genus zero

The moduli space parameterizes the isomorphism classes of S-pointed stable real curves of genus zero which are invariant under relabeling by the involution σ. This moduli space is stratified according to the degeneration types of σ-invariant curves. The degeneration types of σ-invariant curves are encoded by their dual trees with additional decorations. We construct a combinatorial graph complex generated by the fundamental classes of strata of . We show that the homology of is isomorphic to the homology of our graph complex. We also give a presentation of the fundamental group of .      

Navigating in the Cayley Graphs of {\rm SL}_{N}(\mathbb{Z}) and {\rm SL}_{N}(\mathbb{F}_{p})

We give a nondeterministic algorithm that expresses elements of , for N ≥ 3, as words in a finite set of generators, with the length of these words at most a constant times the word metric. We show that the nondeterministic time-complexity of the subtractive version of Euclid’s algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor of N ≥ 3 integers a₁, ..., a_N is at most a constant times . This leads to an elementary proof that for N ≥ 3 the word metric in is biLipschitz equivalent to the logarithm of the matrix norm – an instance of a theorem of Mozes, Lubotzky and Raghunathan. And we show constructively that there exists K>0 such that for all N ≥ 3 and primes p, the diameter of the Cayley graph of with respect to the generating set is at most .Mathematics Subject Classification: 20F05     

Hyperbolic Function Theory in the Clifford Algebra {\mathcal {C}}\ell_{n+1, 0}

The aim of this paper is to give the basic principles of hyperbolic function theory on the Clifford algebra . The structure of the theory is quite similar to the case of Clifford algebras with negative generators, but the proofs are not obvious. The (real) Clifford algebra is generated by unit vectors with positive squares e²_i = + 1. The hyperbolic Dirac operator is of the form where Q₀f is represented by the composition . If is a solution of H_kf = 0, then f is called k-hypergenic in Ω, where is an open set. We introduce some basic results of hyperbolic function theory and give some representation theorems on .

Estimates on the Green’s Function and Existence of Positive Solutions of Nonlinear Singular Elliptic Equations in the Half Space

Markov subshifts and partial representation of $$\mathbb{F}_{\text n}$$

In this paper we fix a set * of positive elements of the free group (e. g. the set of finite words occurring in a Markov subshift) as well as n partial isometries on a Hilbert space H. Based on these we define a map S : which we prove to be a partial representation of on H under certain conditions studied by Matsumoto.*Supported by Capes.

Dynamics of the Mapping Class Group on the Moduli of a Punctured Sphere with Rational Holonomy

Let M be a four-holed sphere and Γ the mapping class group of M fixing the boundary ∂M. The group Γ acts on which is the space of completely reducible SL (2, -gauge equivalence classes of flat SL -connections on M with fixed holonomy on ∂M.

Group Pairs with Property (T), from Arithmetic Lattices

Let Γ be an arithmetic lattice in an absolutely simple Lie group G with trivial centre. We prove that there exists an integer N ≥ 2, a subgroup Λ of finite index in Γ, and an action of Λ on such that the pair ( ) has property (T). If G has property (T), then so does . If G is the adjoint group of Sp(n, 1), then is a property (T) group satisfying the Baum–Connes conjecture. If Γ is an arithmetic lattice in SO(n, 1), then the associated von Neumann algebra is a II₁-factor in Popa’s class . Elaborating on this result of Popa, we construct a countable family of pairwise nonstably isomorphic group II₁-factors in the class , all with trivial fundamental groups and with all L²-Betti numbers being zero.Mathematics Subject Classiffications (2000). 22E40, 22E47, 46L80, 37A20
