Power Invariants of Certain Point Sets

Point sets {A₁,...,A_n} in , d 2, are considered that have barycenter at the origin and, for a certain collection of even exponents 2,4,...,2p, possess power invariants I_k in the following sense. Let S^d-1(R) be the sphere with center at the origin and radius R and let M S^d-1(R). Then the , do not depend on the position of M on S^d-1(R). Bibliography: 14 titles.

Mahler measure and entropy for commuting automorphisms of compact groups

We compute the joint entropy ofd commuting automorphisms of a compact metrizable group. LetR _d = [u ₁ ^±1 ,...,[d ₁ ^±1 ] be the ring of Laurent polynomials ind commuting variables, andM be anR _d -module. Then the dual groupX _M ofM is compact, and multiplication onM by each of thed variables corresponds to an action _M of ^d by automorphisms ofX _M . Every action of ^d by automorphisms of a compact abelian group arises this way. IffR _d , our main formula shows that the topological entropy of is given by

Solution of the Truncated Parabolic Moment Problem

Given real numbers with ₀₀ >0 , the truncated parabolic moment problem for entails finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive Borel measure , supported in the parabola p(x, y) = 0, such that We prove that admits a representing measure (as above) if and only if the associated moment matrix is positive semidefinite, recursively generated and has a column relation p(X, Y) = 0, and the algebraic variety () associated to satisfies card In this case, admits a rank -atomic (minimal) representing measure.Submitted: August 25, 2003

Embedded continued fractals and their Hausdorff dimension

A continued fractal is a curve which is associated to a real number[0, 1]. Properties of the continued fraction expansion of appear as geometrical properties ofQ . It is shown how number theoretic properties of affect topological and geometric properties ofQ such as existence, continuity, Hausdorff dimension, and embeddedness.Communicated by Michael F.

Extension of a class of fibered loops to kinematic spaces

The notion of the split extension of a commutative kinematic space is extended to the case of a weak K-loop with an incidence fibration (F, +, ). Theorem 1 states conditions under wich the quasi-direct productG F⁺ _Q with Aut(F, +) can be turned in a fibered incidence group (G, , o) such that (F, +, ) becomes embeddable inG, and Theorem 2 the additional assumption such that (G, , o) is even a kinematic space. In section 4, Theorem 3 shows that there are suitable examples of proper K-loops with an incidence fibration (derived from hyperbolic planes) on which one can apply Theorem 2.Dedicated to Erich Ellers on the occasion of his 70th birthdayResearch supported by M.U.R.S.T. 40% and by C.N.R.

A realization of is given by an imageV of its vertices under a mapping into some euclidean space, which is such that every element of the automorphism group () of induces an isometry ofV. It is shown in this paper that the family of all possible realizations (up to congruence) of forms, in a natural way, a closed convex cone, which is also denoted by The dimensionr of is the number of equivalence classes under () of diagonals of , and is also the number of unions of double cosets ^{** *–1*} ( ^*), where ^* is the subgroup of () which fixes some given vertex of .

IfG is such a representation, let its degree bed _G , and let the subgroup ofG corresponding to ^* have a fixed space of dimensionw _G . Then the relations

Some numerical results on best uniform rational approximation ofx α on [0,1]

Let be a positive number, and letE _n,n (x ;[0,1]) denote the error of best uniform rational approximation from _n,n tox on the interval [0,1]. We rigorously determined the numbers {E _n,n (x ;[0,1])} _n ^=1/30 for six values of in the interval (0, 1), where these numbers were calculated with a precision of at least 200 significant digits. For each of these six values of , Richardson's extrapolation was applied to the products to obtain estimates of
