Remarks on the Global Solutions of 3-D Navier-Stokes System with One Slow Variable

By applying Wiegner's method in [16 Wiegner , M. ( 1987 ). Decay results for weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations on ? ⁿ . J. London Math. Soc. 35 : 303 – 313 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], we first prove the large time decay estimate for the global solutions of a 2.5 dimensional Navier-Stokes system, which is a sort of singular perturbed 2-D Navier-Stokes system in three space dimension. As an application of this decay estimate, we give a simplified proof for the global wellposedness result in [6 Chemin , J.-Y. , Gallagher , I. ( 2010 ). Large, global solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, slowly varying in one direction . Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 362 : 2859 – 2873 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] for 3-D Navier-Stokes system with one slow variable. Let us also mention that compared with the assumptions for the initial data in [6 Chemin , J.-Y. , Gallagher , I. ( 2010 ). Large, global solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, slowly varying in one direction . Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 362 : 2859 – 2873 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], here the assumptions in Theorem 1.3 are weaker.     

A Wealth and Status-Based Model of Residential Segregation

We extend the classic “Schelling model” (1971 Schelling , T. C. (1971). Dynamic models of segregation. Journal of Mathematical Sociology , 1, 143–186.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] 1978 Schelling , T. C. ( 1978 ). Micromotives and Macrobehavior , New York and London : W.W. Norton and Company . [Google Scholar]) to incorporate the wealth and status of agents and the desirability and affordability of residences. We analyze the effects of 1) the degree of the status-wealth correlation, and 2) the extent to which the wealth of residents shapes the affordability of residences, on levels of status and wealth segregation. Both factors generally exert a positive effect on both forms of segregation and interact to produce higher levels of segregation. The greater the correlation between status and wealth, the more the agents tend to segregate, either due to choice (for the wealthy and high status) or exclusion (for the poor and low status). We also find that housing price endogeneity is a precondition for status segregation.     

Equivalences for Weak Crossed Products

In this article, we give a criterion that characterizes equivalent weak crossed products. By duality, we obtain a similar result for weak crossed coproducts and, as a consequence, we find the conditions that assures the equivalence between two weak crossed biproducts. As an application, we show that the main results proved by Panaite in [12 Panaite, F. (2014). Equivalent crossed products and cross product bialgebras. Commun. Algebr. 42:1937–1952.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] (see also [11 Panaite, F. (2012). Invariance under twisting for crossed products. Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 140:755–763.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]), for Brzeziński's crossed products, admits a substantial reduction in the imposed conditions.     

Quasi-Deformations of 𝔰𝔩2(𝔽) Using Twisted Derivations

In this article we apply a method devised in Hartwig, Larsson, and Silvestrov (2006 Hartwig , J. T. , Larsson , D. , Silvestrov , S. D. ( 2006 ). Deformations of Lie algebras using σ-derivations . J. Algebra 295 : 314 – 361 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Larsson and Silvestrov (2005a Larsson , D. , Silvestrov , S. D. (2005a). Quasi-hom-Lie algebras, Central extensions and 2-cocycle-like identities. J. Algebra 288:321–344.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) to the simple 3-dimensional Lie algebra 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽). One of the main points of this deformation method is that the deformed algebra comes endowed with a canonical twisted Jacobi identity. We show in the present article that when our deformation scheme is applied to 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) we can, by choosing parameters suitably, deform 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) into the Heisenberg Lie algebra and some other 3-dimensional Lie algebras in addition to more exotic types of algebras, this being in stark contrast to the classical deformation schemes where 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) is rigid.     

Strongly J-Clean Matrices Over Local Rings

An element of a ring is called strongly J-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and an element in its Jacobson radical that commute. We investigate, in this article, a single strongly J-clean 2 × 2 matrix over a noncommutative local ring. The criteria on strong J-cleanness of 2 × 2 matrices in terms of a quadratic equation are given. These extend the corresponding results in [8 Li , B. ( 2009 ). Strongly clean matrix rings over noncommutative local rings . Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 46 : 71 – 78 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Theorems 2.7 and 3.2], [9 Li , Y. ( 2007 ). Strongly clean matrix rings over local rings . J. Algebra 312 : 397 – 404 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Theorem 2.6], and [11 Yang , X. , Zhou , Y. ( 2008 ). Strongly cleanness of the 2 × 2 matrix ring over a general local ring . J. Algebra 320 : 2280 – 2290 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Theorem 7].     

Classification of Pointed Fusion Categories of dimension 8 up to weak Morita equivalence

In this paper we give a complete classification of pointed fusion categories over ? of global dimension 8. We first classify the equivalence classes of pointed fusion categories of dimension 8, and then we proceed to determine which of these equivalence classes have equivalent categories of modules following the procedure presented in [9 Naidu, D. (2007). Categorical Morita equivalence for group-theoretical categories. Commun. Algebra 35(11):3544–3565.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 11 Uribe, B. (2017). On the classification of pointed fusion categories up to weak Morita equivalence. Pac. J. Math. 290(2):437–466.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. The results of this paper permit to recover the classification of twisted quantum doubles of groups of order 8 up to gauge equivalence of braided quasi-Hopf algebras that was previously done in [6 Mason, C., Ng, S.-H (2001). Group cohomology and gauge equivalence of some twisted quantum doubles. Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353(9):3465–3509.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and [5 Goff, C., Mason, G., Ng, S.-H (2007).

Virtually Biautomatic Groups

We introduce virtually biautomatic groups (groups with finite index biautomatic subgroups) and generalize results of Gersten and Short [3 Gersten , S. , Short , H. ( 1991 ). Rational subgroups of biautomatic groups . Annals of Mathematics 134 : 125 – 128 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and Mosher [5 Mosher , L. ( 1997 ).

Global Existence and Uniform Boundedness of Smooth Solutions to a Cross-Diffusion System with Equal Diffusion Rates

We consider the Shigesada-Kawasaki-Teramoto cross-diffusion model for two competing species. If both species have the same random diffusion coefficients and the space dimension is less than or equal to three, we establish the global existence and uniform boundedness of smooth solutions to the model in convex domains. This extends some previous works of Kim [12 Kim, J.U. (1984). Smooth solutions to a quasilinear system of diffusion equations for a certain population model. Nonlinear Anal. 8:1121–1144.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and Shim [21 Shim, S.-A. (2002). Uniform boundedness and convergence of solutions to cross-diffusion systems. J. Diff. Eqs. 185:281–305.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] in one dimensional space.     

Supercharacter Theory Constructions Corresponding to Schur Ring Products

Diaconis and Isaacs have defined the supercharacter theories of a finite group to be certain approximations to the ordinary character theory of the group [7 Diaconis , P. , Isaacs , I. M. ( 2008 ). Supercharacters and superclasses for algebra groups . Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 360 : 2359 – 2392 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. We make explicit the connection between supercharacter theories and Schur rings, and we provide supercharacter theory constructions which correspond to Schur ring products of Leung and Man [12 Leung , K. H. , Man , S. H. ( 1996 ). On Schur rings over cyclic groups, II . J. Algebra 183 : 273 – 285 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], Hirasaka and Muzychuk [10 Hirasaka , M. , Muzychuk , M. ( 2001 ). An elementary abelian group of rank 4 is a CI-group . J.

On Cohomological Periodicity After 2-Steps

The notion of cohomological periodicity after 1-step has been studied by Talelli in [7 Talelli , O. ( 1980 ) On cohomological periodicity for infinite groups . Comment. Math. Helvetici 55 : 178 – 192 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 8 Talelli , O. ( 1983 ). On groups with periodic cohomology after 1-step . Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra 30 : 85 – 93 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], and [9 Talelli , O. ( 1996 ). On cohomological periodicity isomorphisms . Bull. London Math. Soc. 28 : 600 – 602 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. If a group G has periodic cohomology after 1-step, then G is the fundamental group of a graph of finite groups, which have periodic cohomology of the same period. Also, the fundamental group of a tree of finite groups, which have periodic cohomology of the same period, has periodic cohomology after 1-step. In this paper, we show that if a group G has only cyclic finite subgroups and is the fundamental group of a certain tree of groups, which have -steps.     

On the Associated Primes of Matlis Duals of Local Cohomology Modules II

In continuation of [1 Hellus , M. ( 2005 ). On the associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules . Communications in Algebra 33 : 3997 – 4009 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] we study associated primes of Matlis duals of local cohomology modules (MDLCM). We combine ideas from Helmut Zöschinger on coassociated primes of arbitrary modules with results from [1 Hellus , M. ( 2005 ). On the associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules .

On the associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules . Communications in Algebra 33 : 3997 – 4009 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. These partial answers give further support for conjecture (*) from [1 Hellus , M. ( 2005 ). On the associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules . Communications in Algebra 33 : 3997 – 4009 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] on the set of associated primes of MDLCMs. In addition, and also inspired by ideas from Zöschinger, we prove some non-finiteness results of local cohomology.     

On Serial Noetherian Rings

It is well known that every serial Noetherian ring satisfies the restricted minimum condition. In particular, following Warfield (1975 Warfield , R. B. ( 1975 ). Serial rings and finitely presented modules . J. Algebra 37 : 187 – 222 . [CSA] [CROSSREF] [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), such a ring is a direct sum of an Artinian ring and hereditary prime rings. The aim of this note is to show that every serial ring having the restricted minimum condition is Noetherian.     

A Note on Dimension Modules

In [2 Camillo , V. P. , Zelmanowitz , J. M. ( 1980 ). Dimension modules . Pacific J. Math. 91 : 249 – 261 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] Camillo and Zelmanowitz stated that rings all whose modules are dimension modules are semisimple Artinian. It seem however that the proof in [2 Camillo , V. P. , Zelmanowitz , J. M. ( 1980 ). Dimension modules . Pacific J. Math. 91 : 249 – 261 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] contains a gap and applies to rings with finite Goldie dimension only. In this paper we show that the result indeed holds for all rings with a basis as well as for all commutative rings with Goldie dimension attained.     

Derived Representation Type of Schur Superalgebras

Certain Cyclically Presented Groups with the Same Polynomial

We consider three infinite families of cyclic presentations of groups, depending on a finite set of integers and having the same polynomial. Then we prove that the corresponding groups with the same parameters are isomorphic, and that the groups are almost all infinite. Finally, we completely compute the maximal Abelian quotients of such groups, and show that their HNN extensions are high-dimensional knot groups. Our results contain as particular cases the main theorems obtained in two nice articles: Johnson et al. (1999 Johnson , D. L. , Kim , A. C. , O'Brien , E. A. ( 1999 ). Certain cyclically presented groups are isomorphic . Comm. Algebra 27 ( 7 ): 3531 – 3536 . [CSA] [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Havas et al. (2001 Havas , G. , Holt , D. F. , Newman , M. F. ( 2001 ). Certain cyclically presented groups are infinite . Comm. Algebra 29 ( 11 ): 5175 – 5178 .

Fuzzy Optimality Conditions for Fractional Multiobjective Bilevel Problems Under Fractional Constraints

In this article, we are concerned with fractional multiobjective optimization problems. In order to derive optimality conditions, we consider a new single level problem [12 J.J. Ye ( 2006 ). Constraint qualification and KKT conditions for bilevel programming problems . Mathematics of Operations Research 31 : 811 – 824 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], which is locally equivalent to the bilevel fractional multiobjective problem (P) at the optimal solution. Our approach consists of using another approach initiated by Mordukhovich [7 B.S. Mordukhovich ( 1976 ). Maximum principle in problems of time optimal control with nonsmooth constraints . J. Appl. Math. Mech. 40 : 960 – 969 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 8 B.S. Mordukhovich ( 1980 ). Metric approximations and necessary optimality conditions for general classes of nonsmooth extremal problems . Soviet. Math. Dokl. 22 : 526 – 530 . [Google Scholar]], which does not involve any convex approximations and convex separation arguments, called the extremal principle [5 B.S. Mordukhovich ( 2006 ).

Solvable Permutation Groups and Orbits on Power Sets

We consider the class ? of finitely generated toral relatively hyperbolic groups. We show that groups from ? are commutative transitive and generalize a theorem proved by Benjamin Baumslag in [3 Baumslag, B. (1967). Residually free groups. Prceedings of the London Mathematical Society 17(3):402–418.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] to this class. We also discuss two definitions of (fully) residually-𝒞 groups, i.e., the classical Definition 1.1 and a modified Definition 1.4. Building upon results obtained by Ol'shanskii [18 Ol'shanskii, A. Yu. (1993). On residualing homomorphisms and G-subgroups of hyperbolic groups. International Journal of Algebra Computation 3:365–409.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] and Osin [22 Osin, D. V. (2010). Small cancellations over relatively hyperbolic groups and embedding theorems. Annals of mathematics 172:1–39.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], we prove the equivalence of the two definitions for 𝒞 = ?. This is a generalization of the similar result obtained by Ol'shanskii for 𝒞 being the class of torsion-free hyperbolic groups. Let Γ ∈ ? be non-abelian and non-elementary. Kharlampovich and Miasnikov proved in [14 Kharlampovich, O., Myasnikov, A. (2012). Limits of relatively hyperbolic groups and Lyndon's completions. Journal of the European Math. Soc. 14:659–680.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] that a finitely generated fully residually-Γ group G embeds into an iterated extension of centralizers of Γ. We deduce from their theorem that every finitely generated fully residually-Γ group embeds into a group from ?. On the other hand, we give an example of a finitely generated torsion-free fully residually-? group that does not embed into a group from ?; ? is the class of hyperbolic groups.     

Laurent Series Ring over Semiperfect Ring Can Not be Semiperfect

One of the main results of the article [2 Sonin , K. I. ( 1996 ). Semiprime and semiperfect rings of Laurent series . Mathematical Notes 60 : 222 – 226 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] says that, if a ring R is semiperfect and ? is an authomorphism of R, then the skew Laurent series ring R((x, ?)) is semiperfect. We will show that the above statement is not true. More precisely, we will show that, if the Laurent series ring R((x)) is semilocal, then R is semiperfect with nil Jacobson radical.     

Loewy Modules with Finite Loewy Invariants and Max Modules with Finite Radical Invariants

Over a commutative ring R, a module is artinian if and only if it is a Loewy module with finite Loewy invariants [5 Facchini , A. ( 1981 ). Loewy and artinian modules over commutative rings . Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. 128 : 359 – 374 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In this paper, we show that this is not necesarily true for modules over noncommutative rings R, though every artinian module is always a Loewy module with finite Loewy invariants. We prove that every Loewy module with finite Loewy invariants has a semilocal endomorphism ring, thus generalizing a result proved by Camps and Dicks for artinian modules [3 Camps , R. , Dicks , W. ( 1993 ). On semilocal rings . Israel J. Math. 81 : 203 – 211 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. Finally, we obtain similar results for the dual class of max modules.     

Uniqueness Criteria for the Adjoint Equation in State-Constrained Elliptic Optimal Control

The article considers linear elliptic equations with regular Borel measures as inhomogeneity. Such equations frequently appear in state-constrained optimal control problems. By a counter example of Serrin [18 J. Serrin ( 1964 ). Pathological solutions of elliptic differential equations . Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. 18 : 385 – 388 . [Google Scholar]], it is known that, in the presence of non-smooth data, a standard weak formulation does not ensure uniqueness for such equations. Therefore several notions of solution have been developed that guarantee uniqueness. In this note, we compare different definitions of solutions, namely the ones of Stampacchia [19 G. Stampacchia ( 1965 ). Le probléme de Dirichlet pour les équations elliptiques du second ordre à coéffcients discontinus . Ann. Inst. Fourier 15 : 189 – 258 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] and Boccardo-Galouët [4 L. Boccardo and T. Gallouët ( 1989 ). Nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations involving measure data . J. Func. Anal. 87 : 149 – 169 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and the two notions of solutions of [2 J.-J. Alibert and J.-P. Raymond ( 1997 ). Boundary control of semilinear elliptic equations with discontinuous leading coefficients and unbounded controls . Numer. Func. Anal. Optim. 18 : 235 – 250 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 7 E. Casas (1993). Boundary control of semilinear elliptic equations with pointwise state constraints. SIAM J. Control Optim. 31:993–1006.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], and show that they are equivalent. As side results, we reformulate the solution in the sense of [19 G. Stampacchia ( 1965 ). Le probléme de Dirichlet pour les équations elliptiques du second ordre à coéffcients discontinus . Ann. Inst. Fourier 15 : 189 – 258 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]], and prove the existence of solutions in the sense of [2 J.-J. Alibert and J.-P. Raymond ( 1997 ).
