Cube structures and intersection bundles

We define the notion of a hypercube structure on a functor between two commutative Picard categories which generalizes the notion of a cube structure on a G_m-torsor over an abelian scheme. We prove that the determinant functor of a relative scheme X/S of relative dimension n is canonically endowed with a (n+2)-cube structure. We use this result to define the intersection bundle I_X/S(L₁,…,L_n+1) of n+1 line bundles on X/S and to construct an additive structure on the functor I_X/S:PIC(X/S)ⁿ⁺¹→PIC(S). Then, we construct the resultant of n+1 sections of n+1 line bundles on X, and the discriminant of a section of a line bundle on X. Finally we study the relationship between the cube structures on the determinant functor and on the discriminant functor, and we use it to prove a polarization formula for the discriminant functor.     

On the dimension of global sections of adjoint bundles for polarized 3-folds and 4-folds

Let (X,L) be a polarized manifold of dimension n defined over the field of complex numbers. In this paper, we treat the case where n=3 and 4. First we study the case of n=3 and we give an explicit lower bound for h⁰(K_X+L) if κ(X)≥0. Moreover, we show the following: if κ(K_X+L)≥0, then h⁰(K_X+L)>0 unless κ(X)=−∞ and h¹(O_X)=0. This gives us a partial answer of Effective Non-vanishing Conjecture for polarized 3-folds. Next for n=4 we investigate the dimension of H⁰(K_X+mL) for m≥2. If n=4 and κ(X)≥0, then a lower bound for h⁰(K_X+mL) is obtained. We also consider a conjecture of Beltrametti-Sommese for 4-folds and we can prove that this conjecture is true unless κ(X)=−∞ and h¹(O_X)=0. Furthermore we prove the following: if (X,L) is a polarized 4-fold with κ(X)≥0 and h¹(O_X)>0, then h⁰(K_X+L)>0.     

Effective non-vanishing of global sections of multiple adjoint bundles for polarized 3-folds

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension 3 and let L be an ample line bundle on X. In this paper, we provide a lower bound for h⁰(m(K_X+L)) under the assumption that κ(K_X+L)≥0. In particular, we get the following: (1) if 0≤κ(K_X+L)≤2, then h⁰(K_X+L)>0 holds. (2) If κ(K_X+L)=3, then h⁰(2(K_X+L))≥3 holds. Moreover we get a classification of (X,L) with κ(K_X+L)=3 and h⁰(2(K_X+L))=3 or 4.     

The derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves and axiomatic stable homotopy

We prove in this paper that for a quasi-compact and semi-separated (nonnecessarily noetherian) scheme X, the derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves over X, D(Aqc(X)), is a stable homotopy category in the sense of Hovey, Palmieri and Strickland, answering a question posed by Strickland. Moreover we show that it is unital and algebraic. We also prove that for a noetherian semi-separated formal scheme X, its derived category of sheaves of modules with quasi-coherent torsion homologies Dqct(X) is a stable homotopy category. It is algebraic but if the formal scheme is not a usual scheme, it is not unital, therefore its abstract nature differs essentially from that of the derived category Dqc(X) (which is equivalent to D(Aqc(X))) in the case of a usual scheme.     

On holomorphic families of Schrödinger-type operators with singular potentials on manifolds of bounded geometry

We consider a family of Schrödinger-type differential expressions L(κ)=D²+V+κV(1), where κ∈C, and D is the Dirac operator associated with a Clifford bundle (E,∇E) of bounded geometry over a manifold of bounded geometry (M,g) with metric g, and V and V(1) are self-adjoint locally integrable sections of EndE. We also consider the family I(κ)=^*(∇F)∇F+V+κV(1), where κ∈C, and ∇F is a Hermitian connection on a Hermitian vector bundle F of bonded geometry over a manifold of bounded geometry (M,g), and V and V(1) are self-adjoint locally integrable sections of EndF. We give sufficient conditions for L(κ) and I(κ) to have a realization in L²(E) and L²(F), respectively, as self-adjoint holomorphic families of type (B). In the proofs we use Kato's inequality for Bochner Laplacian operator and Weitzenböck formula.     

Higher syzygies of hyperelliptic curves

Let X be a hyperelliptic curve of arithmetic genus g and let f:X→P¹ be the hyperelliptic involution map of X. In this paper we study higher syzygies of linearly normal embeddings of X of degree d≤2g. Note that the minimal free resolution of X of degree ≥2g+1 is already completely known. Let A=f^∗O_P¹(1), and let L be a very ample line bundle on X of degree d≤2g. For , we call the pair (m,d−2m)the factorization type ofL. Our main result is that the Hartshorne-Rao module and the graded Betti numbers of the linearly normal curve embedded by |L| are precisely determined by the factorization type of L.     

Power integral bases for Selmer-like number fields

The Selmer trinomials are the trinomials f(X)∈{Xn−X−1,Xn+X+1|n>1 is an integer} over Z. For these trinomials we show that the ideal C=(f(X),f^′(X))Z[X] has height two and contains the linear polynomial (n−1)X+n. We then give several necessary and sufficient conditions for D[X]/(f(X)D[X]) to be a regular ring, where f(X) is an arbitrary polynomial over a Dedekind domain D such that its ideal C has height two and contains a product of primitive linear polynomials. We next specialize to the Selmer-like trinomials bXn+cX+d and bXn+cXn−1+d over D and give several more such necessary and sufficient conditions (among them is that C is a radical ideal). We then specialize to the Selmer trinomials over Z and give quite a few more such conditions (among them is that the discriminant Disc(Xn−X−1)=±(nn−(1−n)ⁿ⁻¹) of Xn−X−1 is square-free (respectively Disc(Xn+X+1)=±(nn+(1−n)ⁿ⁻¹) of Xn+X+1 is square-free)). Finally, we show that nn+(1−n)ⁿ⁻¹ is never square-free when n≡2 (mod 3) and n>2, but, otherwise, both are very often (but not always) square-free.     

A new topological degree theory for perturbations of the sum of two maximal monotone operators

Let X be an infinite dimensional real reflexive Banach space with dual space X^∗ and G⊂X, open and bounded. Assume that X and X^∗ are locally uniformly convex. Let T:X⊃D(T)→2^X∗ be maximal monotone and strongly quasibounded, S:X⊃D(S)→X^∗ maximal monotone, and C:X⊃D(C)→X^∗ strongly quasibounded w.r.t. S and such that it satisfies a generalized (S₊)-condition w.r.t. S. Assume that D(S)=L⊂D(T)∩D(C), where L is a dense subspace of X, and 0∈T(0),S(0)=0. A new topological degree theory is introduced for the sum T+S+C, with degree mapping d(T+S+C,G,0). The reason for this development is the creation of a useful tool for the study of a class of time-dependent problems involving three operators. This degree theory is based on a degree theory that was recently developed by Kartsatos and Skrypnik just for the single-valued sum S+C, as above.     

Hilbert curves of polarized varieties

Let X be a normal Gorenstein complex projective variety. We introduce the Hilbert variety V_X associated to the Hilbert polynomial χ(x₁L₁+?+x_ρL_ρ), where L₁,…,L_ρ is a basis of , ρ being the Picard number of X, and x₁,…,x_ρ are complex variables. After studying general properties of V_X we specialize to the Hilbert curve of a polarized variety (X,L), namely the plane curve of degree dim(X) associated to χ(xK_X+yL). Special emphasis is given to the case of polarized threefolds.     

On the sectional invariants of polarized manifolds

Let (X,L) be a polarized manifold of dimension n. In this paper, for any integer i with 0≤i≤n we introduce the notion of the ith sectional invariant of (X,L). We define the ith sectional Euler number e_i(X,L), the ith sectional Betti number b_i(X,L), and the ith sectional Hodge number of type (j,i−j) of (X,L) and we will study some properties of these.     

Submaximal and door compactifications

In this paper, a characterization is given for compact door spaces. We, also, deal with spaces X such that a compactification K(X) of X is submaximal or door.Let X be a topological space and K(X) be a compactification of X.We prove, here, that K(X) is submaximal if and only if for each dense subset D of X, the following properties hold:

(i)

D is co-finite in K(X);

(ii)

for each x∈K(X)?D, {x} is closed.

If X is a noncompact space, then we show that K(X) is a door space if and only if X is a discrete space and K(X) is the one-point compactification of X.     

Parabolic bundles and representations¶of the fundamental group

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety with Neron–Severi group isomorphic to ℤ, and D an irreducible divisor with normal crossing singularities. Assume 1<r≤ 3. We prove that if π₁(X) doesn't have irreducible PU(r) representations, then π₁(X- D) doesn't have irreducible U(r) representations. The proof uses the non-existence of certain stable parabolic bundles. We also obtain a similar result for GL(2) when D is smooth. Received: 20 December 1999 / Revised version: 7 May 2000     

Homoclinic solutions for a class of the second order Hamiltonian systems

We study the existence of homoclinic orbits for the second order Hamiltonian system , where q∈Rⁿ and V∈C¹(R×Rⁿ,R), V(t,q)=-K(t,q)+W(t,q) is T-periodic in t. A map K satisfies the “pinching” condition b₁|q|²?K(t,q)?b₂|q|², W is superlinear at the infinity and f is sufficiently small in L²(R,Rⁿ). A homoclinic orbit is obtained as a limit of 2kT-periodic solutions of a certain sequence of the second order differential equations.     

Strongly quasibounded maximal monotone perturbations for the Berkovits-Mustonen topological degree theory

Let X be a real reflexive Banach space with dual X^∗. Let L:X⊃D(L)→X^∗ be densely defined, linear and maximal monotone. Let T:X⊃D(T)→X^∗2, with 0∈D(T) and 0∈T(0), be strongly quasibounded and maximal monotone, and C:X⊃D(C)→X^∗ bounded, demicontinuous and of type (S₊) w.r.t. D(L). A new topological degree theory has been developed for the sum L+T+C. This degree theory is an extension of the Berkovits-Mustonen theory (for T=0) and an improvement of the work of Addou and Mermri (for T:X→X^∗2 bounded). Unbounded maximal monotone operators with are strongly quasibounded and may be used with the new degree theory.     

The Terwilliger algebra of a distance-regular graph of negative type

Let Γ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter D?3. Assume Γ has classical parameters (D,b,α,β) with b<-1. Let X denote the vertex set of Γ and let A∈Mat_X(C) denote the adjacency matrix of Γ. Fix x∈X and let A^∗∈Mat_X(C) denote the corresponding dual adjacency matrix. Let T denote the subalgebra of Mat_X(C) generated by A,A^∗. We call T the Terwilliger algebra of Γ with respect to x. We show that up to isomorphism there exist exactly two irreducible T-modules with endpoint 1; their dimensions are D and 2D-2. For these T-modules we display a basis consisting of eigenvectors for A^∗, and for each basis we give the action of A.     

A note on the Jacobian Conjecture

In this note, we show that, if the Druzkowski mappings F(X)=X+(AX)^∗3, i.e. F(X)=(x₁+(a₁₁x₁+?+a_1nx_n)³,…,x_n+(a_n1x₁+?+a_nnx_n)³), satisfies TrJ((AX)^∗3)=0, then where δ is the number of diagonal elements of A which are equal to zero. Furthermore, we show the Jacobian Conjecture is true for the Druzkowski mappings in dimension ?9 in the case .     

Maximum degree and fractional matchings in uniform hypergraphs

Let ℋ be a family ofr-subsets of a finite setX. SetD(ℋ)= |{E:x∈E∈ℋ}|, (maximum degree). We say that ℋ is intersecting if for anyH,H′ ∈ ℋ we haveH ∩H′ ≠ 0. In this case, obviously,D(ℋ)≧|ℋ|/r. According to a well-known conjectureD(ℋ)≧|ℋ|/(r−1+1/r). We prove a slightly stronger result. Let ℋ be anr-uniform, intersecting hypergraph. Then either it is a projective plane of orderr−1, consequentlyD(ℋ)=|ℋ|/(r−1+1/r), orD(ℋ)≧|ℋ|/(r−1). This is a corollary to a more general theorem on not necessarily intersecting hypergraphs.     

Good distance graphs and the geometry of matrices

Denote by G=(V,∼) a graph which V is the vertex set and ∼ is an adjacency relation on a subset of V×V. In this paper, the good distance graph is defined. Let (V,∼) and (V^′,∼^′) be two good distance graphs, and φ:V→V^′ be a map. The following theorem is proved: φ is a graph isomorphism ⇔φ is a bounded distance preserving surjective map in both directions ⇔φ is a distance k preserving surjective map in both directions (where k<diam(G)/2 is a positive integer), etc. Let D be a division ring with an involution such that both |F∩Z_D|?3 and D is not a field of characteristic 2 with D=F, where and Z_D is the center of D. Let H_n(n?2) be the set of n×n Hermitian matrices over D. It is proved that (H_n,∼) is a good distance graph, where A∼B⇔rank(A-B)=1 for all A,B∈H_n.     

Inverse problems and index formulae for Dirac operators

We consider a Dirac-type operator DP on a vector bundle V over a compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) with a non-empty boundary. The operator DP is specified by a boundary condition P(u_|∂M)=0 where P is a projector which may be a non-local, i.e., a pseudodifferential operator. We assume the existence of a chirality operator which decomposes L²(M,V) into two orthogonal subspaces X₊⊕X₋. Under certain conditions, the operator DP restricted to X₊ and X₋ defines a pair of Fredholm operators which maps X₊→X₋ and X₋→X₊ correspondingly, giving rise to a superstructure on V. In this paper we consider the questions of determining the index of DP and the reconstruction of and DP from the boundary data on ∂M. The data used is either the Cauchy data, i.e., the restrictions to ∂M×R₊ of the solutions to the hyperbolic Dirac equation, or the boundary spectral data, i.e., the set of the eigenvalues and the boundary values of the eigenfunctions of DP. We obtain formulae for the index and prove uniqueness results for the inverse boundary value problems. We apply the obtained results to the classical Dirac-type operator in M×C⁴, M⊂R³.     

Almost splitting sets in integral domains, II

Let D be an integral domain. A saturated multiplicative subset S of D is an almost splitting set if, for each 0≠d∈D, there exists a positive integer n=n(d) such that dⁿ=st for some s∈S and t∈D which is v-coprime to each element of S. We show that every upper to zero in D[X] contains a primary element if and only if D?{0} is an almost splitting set in D[X], if and only if D is a UMT-domain and Cl(D[X]) is torsion. We also prove that D[X] is an almost GCD-domain if and only if D is an almost GCD-domain and Cl(D[X]) is torsion. Using this result, we construct an integral domain D such that Cl(D) is torsion, but Cl(D[X]) is not torsion.
