Regularization of Mickelsson generators for nonexceptional quantum groups

Let g′ ? g be a pair of Lie algebras of either symplectic or orthogonal infinitesimal endomorphisms of the complex vector spaces C ^N?2 ? C ^N and U _q (g′) ? U _q (g) be a pair of quantum groups with a triangular decomposition U _q (g) = U _q (g_-)U _q (g₊)U _q (h). Let Z _q (g, g′) be the corresponding step algebra. We assume that its generators are rational trigonometric functions h ? → U _q (g_±). We describe their regularization such that the resulting generators do not vanish for any choice of the weight.     

On the pronormality of subgroups of odd index in finite simple symplectic groups

A subgroup H of a group G is pronormal if the subgroups H and H ^g are conjugate in 〈H,H ^g 〉 for every g ∈ G. It was conjectured in [1] that a subgroup of a finite simple group having odd index is always pronormal. Recently the authors [2] verified this conjecture for all finite simple groups other than PSL _n (q), PSU _n (q), E ₆(q), ² E ₆(q), where in all cases q is odd and n is not a power of 2, and P Sp_2n (q), where q ≡ ±3 (mod 8). However in [3] the authors proved that when q ≡ ±3 (mod 8) and n ≡ 0 (mod 3), the simple symplectic group P Sp²ⁿ (q) has a nonpronormal subgroup of odd index, thereby refuted the conjecture on pronormality of subgroups of odd index in finite simple groups.The natural extension of this conjecture is the problem of classifying finite nonabelian simple groups in which every subgroup of odd index is pronormal. In this paper we continue to study this problem for the simple symplectic groups P Sp_2n (q) with q ≡ ±3 (mod 8) (if the last condition is not satisfied, then subgroups of odd index are pronormal). We prove that whenever n is not of the form 2 ^m or 2 ^m (2^2k +1), this group has a nonpronormal subgroup of odd index. If n = 2 ^m , then we show that all subgroups of P Sp_2n (q) of odd index are pronormal. The question of pronormality of subgroups of odd index in P Sp_2n (q) is still open when n = 2 ^m (2^2k + 1) and q ≡ ±3 (mod 8).     

Triebel-Lizorkin space boundedness of rough singular integrals associated to surfaces of revolution

We consider the boundedness of the rough singular integral operator T_(?,ψ,h) along a surface of revolution on the Triebel-Lizorkin space F~α_( p,q)(R~n) for ? ∈ H~1(~(Sn-1)) and ? ∈ Llog~+L(S~(n-1)) ∪_1q∞(B~((0,0))_q(S~(n-1))), respectively.     

Seifert manifolds and (1, 1)-knots

The aim of this paper is to investigate the relations between Seifert manifolds and (1, 1)-knots. In particular, we prove that each orientable Seifert manifold with invariants

$\{ Oo,0| - 1;\underbrace {(p,q),...,(p,q)}_{n times},(l,l - 1)\} $

has the fundamental group cyclically presented by G _n ((x ₁ ^q ...x _n ^{q l} x _n ^?p ) and, moreover, it is the n-fold strongly-cyclic covering of the lens space L(|nlq ? p|, q) which is branched over the (1, 1)-knot K(q, q(nl ? 2), p ? 2q, p ? q) if p ≥ 2q and over the (1, 1)-knot K(p? q, 2q ? p, q(nl ? 2), p ? q) if p< 2q.

     

Short cubic exponential sums over primes

For y ≥ x ^4/5 L ^8B+151 (where L = log(xq) and B is an absolute constant), a nontrivial estimate is obtained for short cubic exponential sums over primes of the form S ₃(α; x, y) = ∑ _x?y<n≤x Λ(n)e(αn ³), where α = a/q + θ/q ², (a, q) = 1, L ^32(B+20) < q ≤ y ⁵ x ^?2 L ^?32(B+20), |θ| ≤ 1, Λ is the von Mangoldt function, and e(t) = e ^2πit.     

Neighbor Connectivity of Two Kinds of Cayley Graphs

In this paper, we determine the neighbor connectivity κNB of two kinds of Cayley graphs: alternating group networks AN _n and star graphs S _n ; and give the exact values of edge neighbor connectivity λ_NB of ANn and Cayley graphs generated by transposition trees Γ _n . Those are κ_NB(AN _n ) = n^?1, λ_NB(AN _n ) = n^?2 and κ_NB(S _n ) = λ_NB(Γ _n ) = n^?1.     

A Classification of Spectrum-determined Circulant Digraphs

Some researchers have proved that ádám’s conjecture is wrong. However, under special conditions, it is right. Let Z_n be a cyclic group of order n and C_n(S) be the circulant digraph of Z_n with respect to S ? Z_n\{0}. In the literature, some people have used a spectral method to solve the isomorphism for the circulants of prime-power order. In this paper, we also use the spectral method to characterize the circulants of order p^aq^bw^c(where p, q and w are all distinct primes), and to make ádám’s conjecture right.     

Bessel Property of the System of Root Functions of a Second-Order Singular Operator on an Interval

For the system of root functions of an operator defined by the differential operation ?u″ + p(x)u′ + q(x)u, x ∈ G = (0, 1), with complex-valued singular coefficients, sufficient conditions for the Bessel property in the space L₂(G) are obtained and a theorem on the unconditional basis property is proved. It is assumed that the functions p(x) and q(x) locally belong to the spaces L₂ and W₂^?1, respectively, and may have singularities at the endpoints of G such that q(x) = q_R(x) +q′S(x) and the functions q_S(x), p(x), q ₂ ^S (x)w(x), p²(x)w(x), and q_R(x)w(x) are integrable on the whole interval G, where w(x) = x(1 ? x).     

New characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Subscript>4</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>) by its noncommuting graph

Let G be a nonabelian group, and associate the noncommuting graph ?(G) with G as follows: the vertex set of ?(G) is G\Z(G) with two vertices x and y joined by an edge whenever the commutator of x and y is not the identity. Let S ₄(q) be the projective symplectic simple group, where q is a prime power. We prove that if G is a group with ?(G) ? ?(S ₄(q)) then G ? S ₄(q).     

On a problem of impulse control under interference

This paper contains several results about the structure of the congruence kernel C^(S)(G) of an absolutely almost simple simply connected algebraic group G over a global field K with respect to a set of places S of K. In particular, we show that C^(S)(G)) is always trivial if S contains a generalized arithmetic progression. We also give a criterion for the centrality of C^(S)(G) in the general situation in terms of the existence of commuting lifts of the groups G(K_v) for v ? S in the S-arithmetic completion ?^(S). This result enables one to give simple proofs of the centrality in a number of cases. Finally, we show that if K is a number field and G is K-isotropic, then C^(S)(G) as a normal subgroup of ?^(S) is almost generated by a single element.     

Second-order evaluations of orthogonal and symplectic Yangians

Orthogonal or symplectic Yangians are defined by the Yang–Baxter RLL relation involving the fundamental R-matrix with the corresponding so(n) or sp(2m) symmetry. We investigate the second-order solution conditions, where the expansion of L(u) in u ^?1 is truncated at the second power, and we derive the relations for the two nontrivial terms in L(u).     

Ck-regularity for the $$\bar \partial $$ -equation with a support condition

Let D be a C ^d q-convex intersection, d ≥ 2, 0 ≤ q ≤ n ? 1, in a complex manifold X of complex dimension n, n ≥ 2, and let E be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank N over X. In this paper, C ^k -estimates, k = 2, 3,...,∞, for solutions to the \(\bar \partial \)-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for E-valued (0, s)-forms on D when n ? q ≤ s ≤ n. In addition, we solve the \(\bar \partial \)-equation with a support condition in C ^k -spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a \(\bar \partial \)-closed form f in C _0,q ^k (X D,E), 1 ≤ q ≤ n ? 2, n ≥ 3, with compact support and for ε with 0 < ε < 1 there exists a form u in C _0,q?1 ^k?ε (X D,E) with compact support such that \(\bar \partial u = f\) in \(X\backslash \bar D\). Applications are given for a separation theorem of Andreotti-Vesentini type in C ^k -setting and for the solvability of the \(\bar \partial \)-equation for currents.     

Estimation of the depth of reversible circuits consisting of NOT,CNOT and 2-CNOT gates

The paper discusses the asymptotic depth of a reversible circuits consisting of NOT, CNOT and 2-CNOT gates. The reversible circuit depth function D(n, q) is introduced for a circuit implementing a mapping f: Z₂ⁿ → Z₂ⁿ as a function of n and the number q of additional inputs. It is proved that for the case of implementation of a permutation from A(Z₂ⁿ) with a reversible circuit having no additional inputs the depth is bounded as D(n, 0) ? 2ⁿ/(3log₂n). It is also proved that for the case of transformation f: Z₂ⁿ → Z₂ⁿ with a reversible circuit having q₀ ~ 2ⁿ additional inputs the depth is bounded as D(n,q₀) ? 3n.     

Equalities on the number of conjugacy classes of the Sylow p-subgroups of GL(n,q)

We denote by Gn the group of the upper unitriangular matrices over F_q, the finite field with q = p^t elements, and r(G_n) the number of conjugacy classes of G_n. In this paper, we obtain the value of r(G_n) modulo (q² -1)(q -1). We prove the following equalities     

The Schröder-Bernstein property for weakly minimal theories

For a countable, weakly minimal theory T, we show that the Schröder-Bernstein property (any two elementarily bi-embeddable models are isomorphic) is equivalent to each of the following:

1. 1.
   For any U-rank-1 type q ∈ S(acl ^eq (?)) and any automorphism f of the monster model C, there is some n < ω such that f ⁿ (q) is not almost orthogonal to q ? f(q) ? … ? f ^n?1(q)
    
2. 2.
   T has no infinite collection of models which are pairwise elementarily bi-embeddable but pairwise nonisomorphic.
    

We conclude that for countable, weakly minimal theories, the Schröder-Bernstein property is absolute between transitve models of ZFC.     

Lattices generated by joins of the flats in orbits under finite affine-singular symplectic group and its characteristic polynomials

Let ASG(2ν + l, ν;F _q ) be the (2ν + l)-dimensional affine-singular symplectic space over the finite field F _q and ASp_2ν+l,ν (F _q ) be the affine-singular symplectic group of degree 2ν + l over F _q . Let O be any orbit of flats under ASp_2ν+l,ν (F _q ). Denote by L ^J the set of all flats which are joins of flats in O such that O ? L ^J and assume the join of the empty set of flats in ASG(2ν + l, ν;F _q ) is ?. Ordering L ^J by ordinary or reverse inclusion, then two lattices are obtained. This paper firstly studies the inclusion relations between different lattices, then determines a characterization of flats contained in a given lattice L ^J , when the lattices form geometric lattice, lastly gives the characteristic polynomial of L ^J .     

The Uncountable Lattice of All Subfunctors of the Functor of Rational Representations

In set theory the cardinality of the continuum \(|{\mathbb R}|\) is the cardinal number of some interesting sets, like the Cantor set or the transcendental numbers. We will prove that the cardinal number of all subfunctors of the functor of rational representations \(k \otimes_{{\mathbb Z}} R_{{\mathbb Q}}\), taking values on odd order groups over the field k of characteristic 2, is equal to \(|{\mathbb R}|\). When the characteristic q?>?0 of the field k is not necessarily even, we will present a formula giving the dimension of the evaluations S _C,k(G), of the simple functor S _C,k, at any group G of order prime to q and being associated to a suitable cyclic group C.     

On finite alperin <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups with homocyclic commutator subgroup

We study metabelian Alperin groups, i.e., metabelian groups in which every 2-generated subgroup has a cyclic commutator subgroup. It is known that, if the minimum number d(G) of generators of a finite Alperin p-group G is n ≥ 3, then d(G′) ≤ C _n ² for p≠ 3 and d(G′) ≤ C _n ² + C _n ³ for p = 3. The first section of the paper deals with finite Alperin p-groups G with p≠ 3 and d(G) = n ≥ 3 that have a homocyclic commutator subgroup of rank C _n ² . In addition, a corollary is deduced for infinite Alperin p-groups. In the second section, we prove that, if G is a finite Alperin 3-group with homocyclic commutator subgroup G- of rank C _n ² + C _n ³ , then G″ is an elementary abelian group.     

On the centers of quantum groups of <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>-type

Let g be the finite dimensional simple Lie algebra of type An, and let U? = U _q (g,Λ) and U = U _q (g,Q) be the quantum groups defined over the weight lattice and over the root lattice, respectively. In this paper, we find two algebraically independent central elements in U? for all n ≥ 2 and give an explicit formula of the Casimir elements for the quantum group U? = U _q (g,Λ), which corresponds to the Casimir element of the enveloping algebra U(g). Moreover, for n = 2 we give explicitly generators of the center subalgebras of the quantum groups U? = U _q (g,Λ) and U = U _q (g,Q).     

Integral approximation of the characteristic function of an interval by trigonometric polynomials

We prove that the value E _n?1(χ _h ) _L of the best integral approximation of the characteristic function χ _h of an interval (?h, h) on the period [?π,π) by trigonometric polynomials of degree at most n ? 1 is expressed in terms of zeros of the Bernstein function cos {nt ? arccos[(2q ? (1 + q ²) cost)/(1 + q ² ? 2q cost)]}, t ∈ [0, π], q ∈ (?1,1). Here, the parameters q, h, and n are connected in a special way; in particular, q = sech ? tanh for h = π/n.
