A Canonical Directly Infinite Ring

Let be the set of nonnegative integers and the ring of integers. Let be the ring of N × N matrices over generated by the following two matrices: one obtained from the identity matrix by shifting the ones one position to the right and the other one position down. This ring plays an important role in the study of directly finite rings. Calculation of invertible and idempotent elements of yields that the subrings generated by them coincide. This subring is the sum of the ideal consisting of all matrices in with only a finite number of nonzero entries and the subring of generated by the identity matrix. Regular elements are also described. We characterize all ideals of , show that all ideals are finitely generated and that not all ideals of are principal. Some general ring theoretic properties of are also established.

Here stands for a Hilbert space and we prove that every compact operator in is quasinilpotent if A is dominant, where is the closure of the range of _A in the weak topology.     

Higher Degrees of Distributivity in MV-Algebras

In this paper we deal with the (, )-distributivity of an MV-algebra , where and are nonzero cardinals. It is proved that if is singular and (, 2)-distributive, then it is (, )-distributive. We show that if is complete then it can be represented as a direct product of MV-algebras which are homogeneous with respect to higher degrees of distributivity.

Let C be the extended complex plane; G C a finite Jordan with 0 G; w= (z) the conformal mapping of G onto the disk normalized by . Let us set , and let be the generalized Bieberbach polynomial of degree n for the pair (G,0), which minimizes the integral in the class of all polynomials of degree not exceeding n with . In this paper we study the uniform convergence of the generalized Bieberbach polynomials with interior and exterior zero angles and determine its dependence on the properties of boundary arcs and the degree of their tangency.     

Singular Dirichlet boundary value problems II: Resonance case

Existence results are established for the resonant problem y + _m a y = f(t, y) a.e. on [0, 1] with y satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions. The problem is singular since f is a Carathéodory function, with a > 0 a.e. on [0, 1] and

On transformations z(t) = y(ϕ(t)) of ordinary differential equations

The paper describes the general form of an ordinary differential equation of the order n + 1 (n 1) which allows a nontrivial global transformation consisting of the change of the independent variable. A result given by J. Aczél is generalized. A functional equation of the form where are given functions, is solved on .     

Lattice Ordered Polynomial Algebras

In this paper we define a lattice order on a set F of binary functions. We then provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the resulting algebra F to be a distributive lattice or a Boolean algebra. We also prove a Cayley theorem for distributive lattices by showing that for every distributive lattice , there is an algebra F of binary functions, such that is isomorphic to F and we show that F is a distributive lattice iff the operations and are idempotent and cummutative, showing that this result cannot be generalized to non-distributive lattices or quasilattices without changing the definitions of and . We also examine the equational properties of an Algebra for which , now defined on the set of binary -polynomials is a lattice or Boolean algebra.     

Oscillations of certain functional differential equations

Sufficient conditions are presented for all bounded solutions of the linear system of delay differential equations to be oscillatory, where q _ij(–, ), h _jj (0, ), i, j = 1,2,..., n. Also, we study the oscillatory behavior of all bounded solutions of the linear system of neutral differential equations where c, g and h are real constants and i = 1,2,..., n.     

Brownian Martingales and Some New Results on Interpolation of Hardy Spaces

Let H₁( ) be the usual Hardy space on . We show that the couple (H₁( ), L( ) is a Calderón couple. This result immediately follows from the following stronger one: Given any fH₁( ) +L( ) there exist two linear operators U and V satisfying the properties: (i) Uf=Nf (Nf being the non-tangential maximal function of f) and U is contractive from H₁( ) to L₁( ) and also from L( ) to L( ); (ii) V(Nf)=f, V is similtaneously bounded from L₁( ) to H₁( ) and from L( ) to L( ) and the norms of V on these spaces are controlled by a universal constant. We also have similar results on the couple (L_p( ), BMO ( )) for every 1相似文献   

Continuity of Stochastic Convolutions

Let B be a Brownian motion, and let be the space of all continuous periodic functions f with period 1. It is shown that the set of all f such that the stochastic convolution does not have a modification with bounded trajectories, and consequently does not have a continuous modification, is of the second Baire category.     

Strictly Cyclic Algebra of Operators Acting on Banach Spaces H p(β)

Let be a sequence of positive numbers and 1 p< . We consider the space H ^p() of all power series such that . We investigate strict cyclicity of the weakly closed algebra generated by the operator of multiplication by zacting on H ^p(), and determine the maximal ideal space, the dual space and the reflexivity of the algebra . We also give a necessary condition for a composition operator to be bounded on H ^p() when is strictly cyclic.     

On Rounding Error Sums Related to the Circle Problem

For a large real parameter t and 0 a b we consider sums where is the rounding error function, i.e. (z) = z - [z] - 1/2. We generalize Huxley's well known estimate by showing that holds uniformly in 0 a b . Fruther, we investigate an analogous question related to the divisor problem and show that the inequality , which (due to Huxley) holds uniformly in 0 a b , and which is in general not true for 1 a b t, is true uniformly in 0 a b .     

$$\omega $$ -Fibered Formations and Fitting Classes of Finite Groups

In this paper, we suggest a new functional approach to the study of group classes which enables us to describe all formations and Fitting classes of finite groups in the language of functions. The notions of -fibered formation and of -fibered Fitting class with direction are introduced. A direction is defined as a mapping of the set of all primes into the set of all nonempty Fitting formations. The existence of infinitely many mappings of this kind makes it possible to construct new forms of formations and Fitting classes for a given nonempty set . In particular, an -local formation is an -fibered formation with a direction such that for any prime p. In the paper we study some basic properties of -fibered formations and of -fibered Fitting classes with direction and obtain the structure of their minimal satellites for a given .     

The Dvoretzky-Hanani Theorem for the Group "ax + b"

Let G be the group "ax + b" of affine transformations of the line and let U be a neighbourhood of 1 in G. It is proved that there is another neighborhood V of 1 such that to each finite sequence g1,...,gn V there corresponds a sequence of signs 1,...,n = ±1 with U for k = 1,...,n. This implies that G satisfies the following analogue of the Dvoretzky-Hanani theorem: to each sequence converging to 1 in G there corresponds a sequence of signs k = ±1 such that the infinite product is convergent.     

K-Theory, Hermitian K-Theory and the Karoubi Tower

The goal of this paper is to present a new view on the link between the well known K-theory of finitely generated projective modules and much less understood K-theory of Hermitian forms on finitely generated projective modules.For a given Hermitian ring (R, , ), we obtain the K-theory space KR equipped with an involution and the Hermitian K-theory space KHerm(R, , ). The fixed subspace ² is homotopy equivalent to the Hermitian K-theory space KHerm(R,, , ). We construct the Karoubi Tower diagram, which is obtained by iterating Karoubi's construction of the homotopy fibers of the forgetful and hyperbolic maps. Using an interesting factorization of these maps, we prove various homotopy properties of the Karoubi Tower. The homotopy inverse limit of the Karoubi Tower is homotopy equivalent to the homotopy fibre of the inclusion of the fixed set ² into the homotopy fixed set ^{h 2}. Considering Karoubi's fundamental periodicity theorem, the Karoubi Tower generalizes the low dimensional connections between Hermitian K-theory and K-theory groups. Illustrative examples of the Karoubi Tower are given by the finite field case and the classical Hermitian rings over , and . Considering topological K-theory for these cases, the Karoubi Tower comprises the classical Bott periodicity.Another important application of the Karoubi Tower is an elegant and comprehensive generalization of the classical invariants of quadratic forms.
