Holomorphic cohomology groups on compact Kähler complex spaces

Let (X,OX) be a compact (reduced) complex space, bimeromorphic to a Kähler manifold. The singular cohomology groups Hq(X,C) carry a mixed Hodge structure. In particular they carry a weight filtration W−lHq(X,C) (l=0,…,q), and the graded quotients have a direct sum decomposition into holomorphic invariants as . Here we investigate the relationships between the above invariants for r=0 and the cohomology groups , where is the sheaf of weakly holomorphic functions on X. Moreover, according to the smooth case, we characterize the topological line bundles L on X such that the class of c₁(L) in has pure type (1,1).     

An explicit method for finding common solutions of variational inequalities and systems of equilibrium problems and fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings

Let H be a Hilbert space and C be a nonempty closed convex subset of H, {T_i}_i∈N be a family of nonexpansive mappings from C into H, G_i:C×C→R be a finite family of equilibrium functions (i∈{1,2,…,K}), A be a strongly positive bounded linear operator with a coefficient and -Lipschitzian, relaxed (μ,ν)-cocoercive map of C into H. Moreover, let , {α_n} satisfy appropriate conditions and ; we introduce an explicit scheme which defines a suitable sequence as follows:

     

A tripling construction for overlarge sets of KTS

An overlarge set of , denoted by , is a collection {(X?{x},B_x):x∈X}, where X is a (v+1)-set, each (X?{x},B_x) is a and {B_x:x∈X} forms a partition of all triples on X. In this paper, we give a tripling construction for overlarge sets of KTS. Our main result is that: If there exists an with a special property, then there exists an . It is obtained that there exists an for u=2²ⁿ⁻¹−1 or u=qⁿ, where prime power q≡7 (mod 12) and m≥0,n≥1.     

Uniformly minimum variance nonnegative quadratic unbiased estimation in a generalized growth curve model

Consider the generalized growth curve model subject to R(X_m)⊆?⊆R(X₁), where B_i are the matrices of unknown regression coefficients, and E=(ε₁,…,ε_s)^′ and are independent and identically distributed with the same first four moments as a random vector normally distributed with mean zero and covariance matrix Σ. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the uniformly minimum variance nonnegative quadratic unbiased estimator (UMVNNQUE) of the parametric function with C≥0 exists. The necessary and sufficient conditions for a nonnegative quadratic unbiased estimator with of to be the UMVNNQUE are obtained as well.     

Precise asymptotics in the deviation probability series of self-normalized sums

Let X,X₁,X₂,… be a sequence of nondegenerate i.i.d. random variables with zero means. Set Sn=X₁+?+Xn and . In the present paper we examine the precise asymptotic behavior for the general deviation probabilities of self-normalized sums, Sn/Wn. For positive functions g(x), ?(x), α(x) and κ(x), we obtain the precise asymptotics for the following deviation probabilities of self-normalized sums:

     

Some new results on multivariate dispersive ordering of generalized order statistics

Let be generalized order statistics based on a continuous distribution function F with parameters k and (m₁,…,m_n−1). Chen and Hu (2007) [8] investigated the sufficient conditions on F and on the parameters k and m_i’s such that , where , and is the Shaked-Shanthikumar multivariate dispersive order. Since the order does not possess the closure property under marginalization, one may naturally wonder whether the corresponding multivariate margins of the above random vectors are also ordered in the order . This is answered affirmatively in this paper. Some comparison results for generalized order statistics from two samples are presented. Potential applications are also mentioned.     

Hermitian vector bundles and extension groups on arithmetic schemes. I. Geometry of numbers

We define and investigate extension groups in the context of Arakelov geometry. The “arithmetic extension groups” we introduce are extensions by groups of analytic types of the usual extension groups attached to OX-modules F and G over an arithmetic scheme X. In this paper, we focus on the first arithmetic extension group - the elements of which may be described in terms of admissible short exact sequences of hermitian vector bundles over X - and we especially consider the case when X is an “arithmetic curve”, namely the spectrum SpecOK of the ring of integers in some number field K. Then the study of arithmetic extensions over X is related to old and new problems concerning lattices and the geometry of numbers.Namely, for any two hermitian vector bundles and over X:=SpecOK, we attach a logarithmic size to any element α of , and we give an upper bound on in terms of slope invariants of and . We further illustrate this notion by relating the sizes of restrictions to points in P¹(Z) of the universal extension over to the geometry of PSL₂(Z) acting on Poincaré's upper half-plane, and by deducing some quantitative results in reduction theory from our previous upper bound on sizes. Finally, we investigate the behaviour of size by base change (i.e., under extension of the ground field K to a larger number field K^′): when the base field K is Q, we establish that the size, which cannot increase under base change, is actually invariant when the field K^′ is an abelian extension of K, or when is a direct sum of root lattices and of lattices of Voronoi's first kind.The appendices contain results concerning extensions in categories of sheaves on ringed spaces, and lattices of Voronoi's first kind which might also be of independent interest.     

Extension of Fourier algebra homomorphisms to duals of algebras of uniformly continuous functionals

For a locally compact group G, let XG be one of the following introverted subspaces of VN(G): , the C^∗-algebra of uniformly continuous functionals on A(G); , the space of weakly almost periodic functionals on A(G); or , the C^∗-algebra generated by the left regular representation on the measure algebra of G. We discuss the extension of homomorphisms of (reduced) Fourier-Stieltjes algebras on G and H to cb-norm preserving, weak^∗-weak^∗-continuous homomorphisms of into , where (XG,XH) is one of the pairs , , or . When G is amenable, these extensions are characterized in terms of piecewise affine maps.     

CoHochschild homology of chain coalgebras

Generalizing the work of Doi and of Idrissi, we define a coHochschild homology theory for chain coalgebras over any commutative ring and prove its naturality with respect to morphisms of chain coalgebras up to strong homotopy. As a consequence we obtain that if the comultiplication of a chain coalgebra C is itself a morphism of chain coalgebras up to strong homotopy, then the coHochschild complex admits a natural comultiplicative structure. In particular, if K is a reduced simplicial set and C_∗K is its normalized chain complex, then is naturally a homotopy-coassociative chain coalgebra. We provide a simple, explicit formula for the comultiplication on when K is a simplicial suspension.The coHochschild complex construction is topologically relevant. Given two simplicial maps g,h:K→L, where K and L are reduced, the homology of the coHochschild complex of C_∗L with coefficients in C_∗K is isomorphic to the homology of the homotopy coincidence space of the geometric realizations of g and h, and this isomorphism respects comultiplicative structure. In particular, there is an isomorphism, respecting comultiplicative structure, from the homology of to H_∗L|K|, the homology of the free loops on the geometric realization of K.     

Galois closure of essentially finite morphisms

Let X be a reduced connected k-scheme pointed at a rational point x∈X(k). By using tannakian techniques we construct the Galois closure of an essentially finite k-morphism f:Y→X satisfying the condition H⁰(Y,O_Y)=k; this Galois closure is a torsor dominating f by an X-morphism and universal for this property. Moreover, we show that is a torsor under some finite group scheme we describe. Furthermore we prove that the direct image of an essentially finite vector bundle over Y is still an essentially finite vector bundle over X. We develop for torsors and essentially finite morphisms a Galois correspondence similar to the usual one. As an application we show that for any pointed torsor f:Y→X under a finite group scheme satisfying the condition H⁰(Y,O_Y)=k, Y has a fundamental group scheme π₁(Y,y) fitting in a short exact sequence with π₁(X,x).     

The third homology of the special linear group of a field

We prove that for any infinite field F, the map is an isomorphism for all n≥3. When n=2 the cokernel of this map is naturally isomorphic to , where is the nth Milnor K-group of F. We deduce that the natural homomorphism from to the indecomposable K₃ of F, , is surjective for any infinite field F.     

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.     

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 .

Maps of several variables of finite total variation. II. E. Helly-type pointwise selection principles

Given a=(a₁,…,an), b=(b₁,…,bn)∈Rn with a<b componentwise and a map f from the rectangle into a metric semigroup M=(M,d,+), denote by the Hildebrandt-Leonov total variation of f on , which has been recently studied in [V.V. Chistyakov, Yu.V. Tretyachenko, Maps of several variables of finite total variation. I, J. Math. Anal. Appl. (2010), submitted for publication]. The following Helly-type pointwise selection principle is proved: If a sequence{fj}_j∈Nof maps frominto M is such that the closure in M of the set{fj(x)}_j∈Nis compact for eachandis finite, then there exists a subsequence of{fj}_j∈N, which converges pointwise onto a map f such that. A variant of this result is established concerning the weak pointwise convergence when values of maps lie in a reflexive Banach space (M,‖⋅‖) with separable dual M^∗.     

Coactions on Hochschild homology of Hopf-Galois extensions and their coinvariants

Let B⊆A be an H-Galois extension, where H is a Hopf algebra over a field K. If M is a Hopf bimodule then , the Hochschild homology of A with coefficients in M, is a right comodule over the coalgebra C_H=H/[H,H]. Given an injective left C_H-comodule V, our aim is to understand the relationship between and . The roots of this problem can be found in Lorenz (1994) [15], where and are shown to be isomorphic for any centrally G-Galois extension. To approach the above mentioned problem, in the case when A is a faithfully flat B-module and H satisfies some technical conditions, we construct a spectral sequence
