Compact solutions to the equation Tx = y in a weakly closed $$ \mathcal{T}(\mathcal{N}) $$-module

Given two vectors x, y in a Hilbert space and a weakly closed -module , we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a compact operator T in satisfying Tx = y.     

On $$ \mathcal{C} $$*-sets and decompositions of continuous and ηζ-continuous functions

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the concepts of *-sets, *-continuous functions and to obtain new decompositions of continuous and ηζ-continuous functions. Moreover, properties of *-sets and some properties of -sets are discussed.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-group and approximate similarity invariants of strongly irreducible operators

Let H olenote a complex separable Hilbert space and L(H) denote the collection of bounded linear operators on H. An operator T ∈ L(H) is said to be strongly irreducible if T does not commute with any nontrivial idempotent. Herrero and Jiang showed that the norm-closure of the class of all strongly irreducible operators is the class of all operators with connected spectrum. This result can be considered as an approximate inverse of the Riesz decomposition theorem. In the paper, we give a more precise charact...     

Projectively condensed semigroups,generalized completely regular semigroups and projective orthomonoids

The class of projectively condensed semigroups is a quasivariety of unary semigroups, the class of projective orthomonoids is a subquasivariety of . Some well-known classes of generalized completely regular semigroups will be regarded as subquasivarieties of . We give the structure semilattice composition and the standard representation of projective orthomonoids, and then obtain the structure theorems of various generalized orthogroups.

Maximal subclasses of local fitting classes

A Fitting class $ \mathfrak{F} A Fitting class is said to be π-maximal if is an inclusion maximal subclass of the Fitting class of all finite soluble π-groups. We prove that is a π-maximal Fitting class exactly when there is a prime p ∊ π such that the index of the -radical in G is equal to 1 or p for every π-subgroup of G. Hence, there exist maximal subclasses in a local Fitting class. This gives a negative answer to Skiba’s conjecture that there are no maximal Fitting subclasses in a local Fitting class (see [1, Question 13.50]). Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2008 Savelyeva N.

Three-dimensional sets with small sumset

We describe the structure of three dimensional sets of lattice points, having a small doubling property. Let be a finite subset of ℤ³ such that dim = 3. If and , then lies on three parallel lines. Moreover, for every three dimensional finite set that lies on three parallel lines, if , then is contained in three arithmetic progressions with the same common difference, having together no more than terms. These best possible results confirm a recent conjecture of Freiman and cannot be sharpened by reducing the quantity υ or by increasing the upper bounds for .     

Perfect difference sets constructed from Sidon sets

A set of positive integers is a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has a unique representation as the difference of two elements of . We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence of this new approach we prove that there exists a perfect difference set such that

On equivariant embedding of Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>* modules

We prove that an arbitrary (not necessarily countably generated) Hilbert G - module on a G - C ^* algebra admits an equivariant embedding into a trivial G - module, provided G is a compact Lie group and its action on is ergodic.     

Push-outs of derivations

Let be a Banach algebra and let X be a Banach -bimodule. In studying (,X) it is often useful to extend a given derivation D: → X to a Banach algebra containing as an ideal, thereby exploiting (or establishing) hereditary properties. This is usually done using (bounded/unbounded) approximate identities to obtain the extension as a limit of operators b ↦ D(ba) − b.D(a), a ε in an appropriate operator topology, the main point in the proof being to show that the limit map is in fact a derivation. In this paper we make clear which part of this approach is analytic and which algebraic by presenting an algebraic scheme that gives derivations in all situations at the cost of enlarging the module. We use our construction to give improvements and shorter proofs of some results from the literature and to give a necessary and sufficient condition that biprojectivity and biflatness is inherited to ideals.     

On some types of radical classes

Let be an infinite cardinal. We denote by the collection of all -representable Boolean algebras. Further, let be the collection of all generalized Boolean algebras B such that for each b ∈ B, the interval [0, b] of B belongs to . In this paper we prove that is a radical class of generalized Boolean algebras. Further, we investigate some related questions concerning lattice ordered groups and generalized MV-algebras.

Compact corigid objects in triangulated categories and co-<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-structures

In the work of Hoshino, Kato and Miyachi, [11], the authors look at t-structures induced by a compact object, , of a triangulated category, , which is rigid in the sense of Iyama and Yoshino, [12]. Hoshino, Kato and Miyachi show that such an object yields a non-degenerate t-structure on whose heart is equivalent to Mod(End()^op). Rigid objects in a triangulated category can the thought of as behaving like chain differential graded algebras (DGAs). Analogously, looking at objects which behave like cochain DGAs naturally gives the dual notion of a corigid object. Here, we see that a compact corigid object, , of a triangulated category, , induces a structure similar to a t-structure which we shall call a co-t-structure. We also show that the coheart of this non-degenerate co-t-structure is equivalent to Mod(End()^op), and hence an abelian subcategory of .      

Deterministic extractors for affine sources over large fields

An (n,k)-affine source over a finite field is a random variable X = (X ₁,..., X _n ) ∈ , which is uniformly distributed over an (unknown) k-dimensional affine subspace of . We show how to (deterministically) extract practically all the randomness from affine sources, for any field of size larger than n ^c (where c is a large enough constant). Our main results are as follows:

Unconditional ideals of finite rank operators

Let X be a Banach space. We give characterizations of when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y in terms of nets of finite rank operators approximating weakly compact operators. Similar characterizations are given for the cases when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y, when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y, and when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y.     

Parabolic twists for the linear algebras <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>−1</Subscript>

New solutions of twist equations for the universal enveloping algebras U (A_n−1) are found. These solutions can be represented as products of full chains of extended Jordanian twists Abelian factors (“rotations”) , and sets of quasi-Jordanian twists . The latter are generalizations of Jordanian twists (with carrier b²) for special deformed extensions of the Hopf algebra U (b²). The carrier subalgebra for the composition is a nonminimal parabolic subalgebra in A _n−1 such that . The parabolic twisting elements are obtained in an explicit form. Details of the construction are illustrated by considering the examples n = 4 and n = 11. Bibliography: 21 titles. Published in Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 347, 2007, pp. 187–213.     

Hyperbolic unit groups and quaternion algebras

We classify the quadratic extensions and the finite groups G for which the group ring [G] of G over the ring of integers of K has the property that the group of units of augmentation 1 is hyperbolic. We also construct units in the ℤ-order of the quaternion algebra , when it is a division algebra.     

An exploration of locally projective polytopes

This article completes the classification of finite universal locally projective regular abstract polytopes, by summarising (with careful references) previously published results on the topic, and resolving the few cases that do not appear in the literature. In rank 4, all quotients of the locally projective polytopes are also noted. In addition, the article almost completes the classification of the infinite universal locally projective polytopes, except for the {{5,3,3,},{3,3,5}₁₅} and its dual. It is shown that this polytope cannot be finite, but its existence is not established. The most remarkable feature of the classification is that a nondegenerate universal locally projective polytope is infinite if and only if the rank of is 5 and the facets of or its dual are the hemi-120-cell {5,3,3}₁₅.

The \bar \partial -Neumann operator and commutators of the Bergman projection and multiplication operators

We prove that compactness of the canonical solution operator to restricted to (0, 1)-forms with holomorphic coefficients is equivalent to compactness of the commutator defined on the whole L _(0,1)²(Ω), where is the multiplication by and is the orthogonal projection of L _(0,1)²(Ω) to the subspace of (0, 1) forms with holomorphic coefficients. Further we derive a formula for the -Neumann operator restricted to (0, 1) forms with holomorphic coefficients expressed by commutators of the Bergman projection and the multiplications operators by z and .
