Radical formations

A formation is called radical (weakly n-radical) if it contains every group G which can be represented in the formG=M ₁M₂ ...M _n,M _iG, where the subgroups M_i belong to (belong to and have pairwise prime indices). It is proved that a local formation is radical (weakly n-radical,n 2) if and only if its complete inner local screen f has the following property: f(p) is a radical (a weakly n-radical,n 2) formation for every prime number p.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 6, pp. 861–864, June, 1977.     

The space of minimal prime ideals in a 0-distributive semilattice

LetS be a 0-distributive semilattice and be its minimal spectrum. It is shown that is Hausdorff. The compactness of has been characterized in several ways. A representation theorem (like Stone's theorem for Boolean algebras) for disjunctive, 0-distributive semilattices is obtained.     

Minimax-robust prediction of discrete time series

Summary We discuss a robust approach for predicting a weakly stationary discrete time series whose spectral density f is not exactly known. We assume that we know that f ), where is a convex set of spectral densities fulfilling some not too stringent conditions. We proof the existence of a most indeterministic density f ⁰ in , and we show that the classical optimal linear predictor for a time series with spectral density f ⁰ is mini-max-robust in the sense that it minimizes the maximal possible prediction error.We investigate some special models , and, in doing so, we illustrate a generally applicable method for determining the robust predictor. In particular, we discuss model sets which are defined by conditions on a finite part of the autocovariance sequence of the corresponding time series. These examples are of particular interest as the most indeterministic density is an autoregressive one, i.e. the robust predictor is finite. We discuss connections between this type of model set and maximum entropy and generalized maximum entropy spectral estimates.     

Un théorème de Vitali-Hahn-Saks pour les semimartingales

Summary Let (, , P) be a complete probability space; let _t0 be an increasing right-continuous family of -complete sub--fields of ; let be a sequence of semimartingales. Assume that for all positive t and for all bounded predictable processes H, the r.v.'s converge in probability to a limit J(t, H) when n tends to infinity. Then there exists a semimartingale X such that, for all t and H, J(t, H)= .     

A new product of algebras and a type reduction theorem

A construction is defined which associates, to every algebra of a fixed but arbitrary finite similarity type, a groupoidF . The identities ofF are finitely based if and only if those of are, andF is finite if and only if is finite. Up to isomorphism,F has the same endomorphism monoid and subalgebra lattice as , but the congruence lattice ofF is the result of adjoining a new 1 to the congruence lattice of .F is functorial, preserves the satisfaction (and the non-satisfaction) of most Mal'cev conditions, and produces, by composition with the operation of forming the generated variety, an isomorphism of the lattice of varieties of fixed type to an interval in the lattice of varieties of groupoids.The construction makes use of a new product operation, applicable to two algebras of differing similarity types, which is introduced and studied in this paper.Research supported by National Science Foundation grant MCS-8103455.Presented by K.

Optimal boundary regularity for minimal surfaces with a free boundary

Let x(w), w=u+iv B, be a minimal surface in ³ which is bounded by a configuration , S consisting of an arc and of a surface S with boundary. Suppose also that x(w) is area minimizing with respect to , S. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on and S, we can prove that the first derivatives of x(u, v) are Hölder continuous with the exponent =1/2 up to the free part of B which is mapped by x(w) into S. An example shows that this regularity result is optimal.     

On periodic groups of automorphisms of extremal groups

It is proved that if a periodic group has an extremal normal divisor , determining a complete abelian factor group , then the center of the group contains a complete abelian subgroup , satisfying the relation and intersecting on a finite subgroup. It is also established with the aid of this proposition that every periodic group of automorphisms of an extremal group is a finite extension of a contained in it subgroup of inner automorphisms of the group .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 91–96, July, 1968.

Chu-Dualität und zwei Klassen maximal fastperiodischer Gruppen

This is a continuation of the paper Zwei Klassen lokalkompakter maximal fastperiodischer Gruppen, [6]. In [6], the classes and were introduced. We give sufficient conditions to conclude thatG is in if one knows thatG/G ₀ is in . If a groupG is in and ifG satisfies the Chu-duality then all closed subgroups ofG satisfy the Chu-duality. The Chu-quasi-dual of the Heisenberg groupH with integral coefficients is computed. It is shown thatH does not satisfy the Chu-duality, thatH is in , and thatH is not in .     

Sur les idéaux induits dans les algèbres enveloppantes

Je montre que l'induction, qui envoie les idéaux de l'algèbre enveloppante de dans les idéaux de l'algèbre enveloppante de , commute, à une torsion près, à l'anti-automorphisme principal. La résolution libre standard de la représentation triviale d'une algèbre de Lie joue un rôle important dans la démonstration.

Summary Let be a finite dimensional Lie algebra, and a Lie subalgebra. I show that the induction map, between the sets of ideals in the enveloping algebras of and , commutes, up to a twisting, with the principal anti-automorphism. The standard free resolution of the trivial representation of a Lie algebra plays an important role in the proof.

A shift-invariant algebra of singular integral operators with oscillating coefficients

LetB be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on the weighted Lebesgue spaceL ^p (T, ) with an arbitrary Muckenhoupt weight on the unit circleT, and the Banach subalgebra ofB generated by the operators of multiplication by piecewise continuous coefficients and the operatorse _h,S _T e _h, ^–1 I (hR, T) whereS _T is the Cauchy singular integral operator ande _h,(t)=exp(h(t+)/(t–)),tT. The paper is devoted to a symbol calculus, Fredholm criteria and an index formula for the operators in the algebra and its matrix analogue . These shift-invariant algebras arise naturally in studying the algebras of singular integral operators with coefficients admitting semi-almost periodic discontinuities and shifts being diffeomorphisms ofT onto itself with second Taylor derivatives.Partially supported by CONACYT grant, Cátedra Patrimonial, No. 990017-EX and by CONACYT project 32726-E, México.     

Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules: A New Direction in the Structure Theory of Representations

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a -module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra , M is locally -finite and has finite -multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when is a Cartan subalgebra. We also review the recent determination of which reductive in subalgebras are essential to a classification. Finally, we present in detail the emerging picture for the case when is a principal 3-dimensional subalgebra.     

Ore Extensions of Hopf Algebras

Sechzehndimensionale lokalkompakte Translationsebenen,deren Kollineationsgruppe G2 enthält

New results of Salzmann and Hubig say that a 16-dimensional (locally) compact topological projective plane in which the group of continuous collineations has dimension 40 is a translation plane. It is therefore important to determine all 16-dimensional locally compact translation planes with dim 40. From previous work of the author ([10]), it is known that such a plane is either the classical octonion plane, or dim =40 and contains a subgroup isomorphic to the compact exceptional group G₂, but no larger compact simple subgroup. In the present paper, all planes satisfying the latter property more generally with dim 38 are explicitly determined. Together with the classification of all 16-dimensional locally compact translation planes in which contains Spin(7) given by the author in [8], one thus knows all 16-dimensional locally compact translation planes with containing G₂ and dim 38. Via suitable Baer subplanes, the classification makes use of analogous results for 8-dimensional planes ([7]).

Two natural metrics and their covariant derivatives on a manifold of embeddings

OnE(M, ⁿ ), the Fréchet-manifold of all smooth embeddings of a smooth, compact, closed, orientable manifoldM (of dimensionn-1) into ⁿ two natural metricsG and are considered. The metric plays a central rôle in elasticity theory. Using a generalised notion of the Fréchet derivative their respective spraysS and and the correspoonding Levi-Civita connections are computed. BothS and are smooth in a well defined sense. In contrast toS the spray turns out to be trivial.     

Lubin-Hensel factorization for Laurent series

Summary Let K be a complete ultrametric algebraically closed field. Let D be a bounded closed strongly infraconnected set in K with no T-filter, and let H(D) be the Banach algebra of the analytic elements in D. Let r, r be functions from D toR with bounds a, b such that 0 (D,r,r) be the Banach algebra of the Laurent series with coefficients a_s in H(D) such that , provided with a suitable norm. In (D, r, r) we give a kind of Hensel Factorization for series whose dominating coefficients at r(x) and at r(x) conserve the same rank. We take advantage of this method to correcting a mistake that happened in our previous article on the Hensel Factorization for Taylor series.And Erratum to «Maximum principle for analytic elements and Lubin-Hensel's Theorem inH(D)Y»,135, pp. 265–278 of this Journal.     

The closed ideal of (c o ,p,q)-summing operators

For 1/p+1/q1, we study the closed ideal formed by the (c _o ,p,q)-summing operators. It turns out thatT:XY does not belong to if and only if it factors the mapId:l _p ^*l _q . By localization, we get the ideal that consists of those operatorsT for which all ultrapowersT ^u are contained in . Operators in the complement of are characterized by the property that they factor the mapsId:l _p ^*n l _q ⁿ uniformly. Our main tools are ideal norms.Supported by DFG grant PI 322/1-2
