Properties of cyclic subspace regression

Various properties of the regression vector produced by cyclic subspace regression with regard to the meancentered linear regression equation are put forth. In particular, the subspace associated with the creation of is shown to contain a basis that maximizes certain covariances with respect to , the orthogonal projection of onto a specific subspace of the range of X. This basis is constructed. Moreover, this paper shows how the maximum covariance values effect the . Several alternative representations of are also developed. These representations show that is a modified version of the l-factor principal components regression vector , with the modification occurring by a nonorthogonal projection. Additionally, these representations enable prediction properties associated with to be explicitly identified. Finally, methods for choosing factors are spelled out.     

Classification of generalized symmetries of the Yang-Mills fields with a semi-simple structure group

A complete classification of generalized (or local) symmetries of the Yang-Mills equations on four dimensional Minkowski space with a semi-simple structure group is carried out. It is shown that any generalized symmetry, up to a generalized gauge symmetry, agrees with a first order symmetry on solutions of the Yang-Mills equations. Let be the decomposition of the Lie algebra of the structure group into simple ideals. First order symmetries for -valued Yang-Mills fields are found to consist of gauge symmetries, conformal symmetries for -valued Yang-Mills fields, 1?m?n, and their images under a complex structure of .

Consider a nonlinear partial spline model . This article studies the estimation problem of when g₀ is approximated by some graduating function. Some asymptotic results for are derived. In particular, it is shown that can be estimated with the usual parametric convergence rate without undersmoothing g₀.     

Non-linear numerical radius isometries on atomic nest algebras and diagonal algebras

A nonlinear map φ between operator algebras is said to be a numerical radius isometry if w(φ(T−S))=w(T−S) for all T, S in its domain algebra, where w(T) stands for the numerical radius of T. Let and be two atomic nests on complex Hilbert spaces H and K, respectively. Denote the nest algebra associated with and the diagonal algebra. We give a thorough classification of weakly continuous numerical radius isometries from onto and a thorough classification of numerical radius isometries from onto .     

Cospectral graphs and the generalized adjacency matrix

Let J be the all-ones matrix, and let A denote the adjacency matrix of a graph. An old result of Johnson and Newman states that if two graphs are cospectral with respect to yJ − A for two distinct values of y, then they are cospectral for all y. Here we will focus on graphs cospectral with respect to yJ − A for exactly one value of y. We call such graphs -cospectral. It follows that is a rational number, and we prove existence of a pair of -cospectral graphs for every rational . In addition, we generate by computer all -cospectral pairs on at most nine vertices. Recently, Chesnokov and the second author constructed pairs of -cospectral graphs for all rational , where one graph is regular and the other one is not. This phenomenon is only possible for the mentioned values of , and by computer we find all such pairs of -cospectral graphs on at most eleven vertices.     

On a relation between certain cohomological invariants

Let G be a group, the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective ZG-modules and the supremum of the injective lengths of the projective ZG-modules. The invariants and were studied in [T.V. Gedrich, K.W. Gruenberg, Complete cohomological functors on groups, Topology Appl. 25 (1987) 203-223] in connection with the existence of complete cohomological functors. If is finite then [T.V. Gedrich, K.W. Gruenberg, Complete cohomological functors on groups, Topology Appl. 25 (1987) 203-223] and , where is the generalized cohomological dimension of G [B.M. Ikenaga, Homological dimension and Farrell cohomology, J. Algebra 87 (1984) 422-457]. Note that if G is of finite virtual cohomological dimension. It has been conjectured in [O. Talelli, On groups of type Φ, Arch. Math. 89 (1) (2007) 24-32] that if is finite then G admits a finite dimensional model for , the classifying space for proper actions.We conjecture that for any group G and we prove the conjecture for duality groups, fundamental groups of graphs of finite groups and fundamental groups of certain finite graphs of groups of type .     

Computation of blowing up centers

Given a birational projective morphism of quasi-projective varieties . We want to find the ideal sheaf over X such that the blowing up of X along corresponds to f. In this paper we approach the problem from two directions, solving two subcases. First we present a method that determines when f is the composition of blowing ups along known centers, then by another method, we compute directly from .     

On duality between étale groupoids and Hopf algebroids

For any étale Lie groupoid G over a smooth manifold M, the groupoid convolution algebra of smooth functions with compact support on G has a natural coalgebra structure over the commutative algebra which makes it into a Hopf algebroid. Conversely, for any Hopf algebroid A over we construct the associated spectral étale Lie groupoid over M such that is naturally isomorphic to G. Both these constructions are functorial, and is fully faithful left adjoint to . We give explicit conditions under which a Hopf algebroid is isomorphic to the Hopf algebroid of an étale Lie groupoid G.     

Polynomial identities and noncommutative versal torsors

To any cleft Hopf Galois object, i.e., any algebra obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its multiplication with a two-cocycle α, we attach two “universal algebras” and . The algebra is obtained by twisting the multiplication of H with the most general two-cocycle σ formally cohomologous to α. The cocycle σ takes values in the field of rational functions on H. By construction, is a cleft H-Galois extension of a “big” commutative algebra . Any “form” of can be obtained from by a specialization of and vice versa. If the algebra is simple, then is an Azumaya algebra with center . The algebra is constructed using a general theory of polynomial identities that we set up for arbitrary comodule algebras; it is the universal comodule algebra in which all comodule algebra identities of are satisfied. We construct an embedding of into ; this embedding maps the center of into when the algebra is simple. In this case, under an additional assumption, , thus turning into a central localization of . We completely work out these constructions in the case of the four-dimensional Sweedler algebra.     

Geodesic currents and Teichmüller space

Consider a hyperbolic surface X of infinite area. The Liouville map assigns to any quasiconformal deformation of X a measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering X? of X. We show that the Liouville map is a homeomorphism from the Teichmüller space onto its image, and that the image is closed and unbounded. The set of asymptotic rays to consists of all bounded measured laminations on X. Hence, the set of projective bounded measured laminations is a natural boundary for . The action of the quasiconformal mapping class group on continuously extends to this boundary for .     

Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .     

Quadratic addition rules for quantum integers

For every positive integer n, the quantum integer [n]_q is the polynomial [n]_q=1+q+q²+?+q^n-1. A quadratic addition rule for quantum integers consists of sequences of polynomials , , and such that for all m and n. This paper gives a complete classification of quadratic addition rules, and also considers sequences of polynomials that satisfy the associated functional equation .
