A note on sub-multiplicative norms

Summary IfX is a finite-dimensional linear space andL(X) the linear space of linear operators onX thenL(X) may be represented asXX ^*. IfE={e ₁, ...,e _n } is a basis forX and e _j y _j ^* is a typical element ofXX ^*, then norms can be introduced onL(X) in the form y _j ^* e _j . Given that the norm onX isE-absolute we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the norm onL(X) to be submultiplicative.     

A family of noetherian rings with their finite length modules under control

We investigate the category mod of finite length modules over the ring =A _k , where is a V-ring, i.e. a ring for which every simple module is injective, k a subfield of its centre and A an elementary k-algebra. Each simple module E _j gives rise to a quasiprogenerator P _j = A E _j . By a result of K. Fuller, P _j induces a category equivalence from which we deduce that mod _j mod EndP _j . As a consequence we can(1) construct for each elementary k-algebra A over a finite field k a nonartinian noetherian ring such that modA mod(2) find twisted versions of algebras of wild representation type such that itself is of finite or tame representation type (in mod)(3) describe for certain rings the minimal almost split morphisms in mod and observe that almost all of these maps are not almost split in Mod.     

The Factorization Problem and the Smash Biproduct of Algebras and Coalgebras

We consider the factorization problem for bialgebras. Let L and H be algebras and coalgebras (but not necessarily bialgebras) and consider two maps R : H L L H and W : L H H L. We introduce a product K = L _{W R} H and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for K to be a bialgebra. Our construction generalizes products introduced by Majid and Radford. Also, some of the pointed Hopf algebras that were recently constructed by Beattie, Dsclescu and Grünenfelder appear as special cases.     

Problem of the extremal decomposition of a closed plane

One considers the problem of the maximum of the product of powers of conformal radii of nonoverlapping domains in the following formulation. Let A=a₁, ..., a_n and B=(b₁, ..., b_m be systems of distinguished points in ¯C and let ={₁,..., _m} be a system of positive numbers. ByU(D,b ) we denote the reduced modulus of the simply connected domain D relative to the pointb D. Find the maximum of the sum in the familyD of all systems of nonoverlapping simply connected domains D_j, j=1, ..., m, satisfying the following condition: the domain D_j does not contain points b_i B, different from b_j, and some collection A_j, for each domain, of points from A, _j=1 ^m A _j =A. The solution of this problem is obtained by the simultaneous use of the method of variation and of the method of the moduli of families of curves and is given by Theorem 1 of the present paper. As consequences of Theorem 1 one obtains Theorems 2 and 3, strengthening the corresponding results of a previous paper of the author.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Note on Fano 3-folds

LetE be an ample vector bundle of rankr on a compact complex manifoldX of dimension 3 with detE=–K _x, andi(X) the index ofX. Then it is proved in this note thati(X)r unless (X,E)(¹ × ²,p*O(1) q*), wherep,q are the projections and is isomorphic toO(2) O(1) or the tangent bundleT of ². This result gives a counterexample to the conjecture formed by T. Peternell.

The Long Dimodules Category and Nonlinear Equations

Let H be a bialgebra and _H L^H be the category of Long H-dimodules defined, for a commutative and co-commutative H, by F. W. Long and studied in connection with the Brauer group of a so-called H-dimodule algebra. For a commutative and co-commutative H, _H L^H =_H YD^H (the category of Yetter–Drinfel'd modules), but for an arbitrary H, the categories _H L^H and _H YD^H are basically different. Keeping in mind that the category _H YD^H is deeply involved in solving the quantum Yang–Baxter equation, we study the category _H L^H of H-dimodules in connection with what we have called the D-equation: R¹² R²³ = R²³ R¹², where R End_k(M M) for a vector space M over a field k. The main result is a FRT-type theorem: if M is finite-dimensional, then any solution R of the D-equation has the form R = R_{(M, , )}, where (M, , ) is a Long D(R)-dimodule over a bialgebra D(R) and R_{(M, , )} is the special map R_{(M, , )}(m n) : = n₁ m n₀. In the last section, if C is a coalgebra and I is a coideal of C, we introduce the notion of D-map on C, that is a k-bilinear map : C C / I k satisfying a condition which ensures on the one hand that, for any right C-comodule, the special map R is a solution of the D-equation and, on the other, that, in the finite case, any solution of the D-equation has this form.     

Durch graduierte Lie-Algebren definierte Paar-Algebren

Pair algebras which have a non degenerate (left- and right-) invariant bilinear form and for which the inner derivation algebra is completely reducible are characterised by pairs (C,), where C is a n×n matrix satisfying certain conditions and is a sequence of n integers equal to 0 or 1. They occur as pair algebras of type (S(C,)_–1,S(C,)₁), xuy=[[x,u],y], where (S(C,)_r)_r is the gradation induced by . in the Kac-Moody algebraS(C). If C is an affin Cartan matrix (as in the case of Lie triple systems), there exists a finite dimensional simple Lie algebrag and a Aut (g), ord =m< such that the pair algebra is isomorphic to the pair algebra (g _–1,g ₁), xuy=[[x,u],y] (product ing), whereg _i. is the eigenspace of of eigenvalue ⁱ, a primitive m-th root of unity.     

A generalization of the inversion formulas of systems of power series in systems of implicit functions

Using a multidimensional analog of the logarithmic residue, equations are derived expressing the coefficients of the power series of implicit functionsx _j =_j(w)=_j(w₁,...,w_m), j=1,...,n, defined by the system of equations f_j(w, x)=F_j (w₁,...,w_m:z₁,...,x _n )=0, j=1,...,n,f _j , (0, 0)=0, F_j(0, 0)/z_k=_jk in a neighborhood of the point (0, 0)C _(w,x) ^m+n , in terms of the coefficients of the power series of the functions F_j(w, z), j=1, ..., n. As a corollary, well-known formulas are obtained for the inversion of multiple power series.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 1, pp. 47–54, January, 1978.     

The order of the differentials in the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence

LetF _* be the homology theory corresponding to a spectrumF and consider the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequenceE _s,t ² H _s (X; _t F) F _s+t (X) for a bounded below spectrum (or CW-complex)X. This paper shows that the images of the differentials d _s,t ^r :E _s,t ^r E _s ^{–r,t+r–1r} in this spectral sequence are always torsion groupsof finite exponent and that this exponent isbounded in a very universal way: we prove the existence of integersR _r forr2 such thatR _r d _s,t ^r =0 for any spectrumF, for any bounded below spectrumX and for all integersr2,s andt. The interesting point is that these upper boundsR _r for the additive order of the differentials d _s,t ^r dependonly onr, and that the result holds without any hypothesis on the spectrumF. In certain special cases, this implies that the spectral sequence collapses and even that the extension problems given by itsE -term are trivial.     

The universal central extension of the holomorphic current algebra

We identify the universal differential module ¹(A) for the Fréchet algebra A of holomorphic functions on a complex Stein manifold X, and more generally on a Riemannian domain R over X and for the algebra of germs of holomorphic functions on a compact subset K ⁿ . It turns out to be isomorphic to the Fréchet space of holomorphic 1-forms on X, resp. R, resp. to the space ¹(K) of germs of holomorphic 1-forms in K. This determines the center of the universal central extension of the Lie algebra (R, of holomorphic maps from R to a finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra .     

An implicit function theorem: Comment

In Ref. 1, Jittorntrum proposed an implicit function theorem for a continuous mappingF:R ⁿ ×R ^m R ⁿ, withF(x ⁰,y ⁰)=0, that requires neither differentiability ofF nor nonsingularity of _x F(x ⁰,y ⁰). In the proof, the local one-to-one condition forF(·,y):A R ⁿ R ⁿ for ally B is consciously or unconsciously treated as implying thatF(·,y) mapsA one-to-one ontoF(A, y) for ally B, and the proof is not perfect. A proof can be given directly, and the theorem is shown to be the strongest, in the sense that the condition is truly if and only if.     

Fehlerabschätzungen für Gauß-Quadraturformeln

Summary We consider Gauss quadrature formulaeQ _n ,n, approximating the integral ,w an even weight function. Let be analytic inK _r :={z:|z|<r},r>1, and . The error functionalR _n :=I-Q _n is continuous with respect to |·|_r and the relation , q_2k (x):=x ^2k holds.In this paper estimates for R _n are given. To this end we first derive two new representations of R _n which are essential for our further investigations. The R _n =r ² R _n (), with (x):=1/(r ²-x ²), is estimated in various ways by using the best uniform approximation of in P_2n-1, and also the expansion of with respect to Chebyshe polynomials of the first and second kind. Forw(x)=(1-x ²), =±1/2, R _n is calculated. The asymptotic behaviour, forr1+, of R _n and of the derived error bounds is also discussed. Finally, we compare different error bounds and give numerical examples.

     

Convexity of Nonlinear Image of a Small Ball with Applications to Optimization

Let f: XY be a nonlinear differentiable map, X,Y are Hilbert spaces, B(a,r) is a ball in X with a center a and radius r. Suppose f (x) is Lipschitz in B(a,r) with Lipschitz constant L and f (a) is a surjection: f (a)X=Y; this implies the existence of >0 such that f (a)^* yy, yY. Then, if r,/(2L), the image F=f(B(a,)) of the ball B(a,) is convex. This result has numerous applications in optimization and control. First, duality theory holds for nonconvex mathematical programming problems with extra constraint x–a. Special effective algorithms for such optimization problems can be constructed as well. Second, the reachability set for small power control is convex. This leads to various results in optimal control.     

Two-sided polynomial approximation of functions

Conditions are established when the collocation polynomials P_m(x) and P_M(x), m M, constructed respectively using the system of nodes x_j of multiplicities a_j 1, j = O,, n, and the system of nodes x_-r,,x_o,,x_n,,x_n+r1, r O, r₁ O, of multiplicities a_-r,,(a_o + y_o),,(a_n + y_n),,a_n+r1, a_j + y_j 1, are two sided-approximations of the function f on the intervals , x_j[, j = O,...,n + 1, and on unions of any number of these intervals. In this case, the polynomials P_m (x), P_M ^(l) (x) with l a_j are two-sided approximations of the function f⁽¹⁾ in the neighborhood of the node x_j and the integrals of the polynomials P_m(x), P_M(x) over D_j are two-sided approximations of the integral of the function f (over D_j). If the multiplicities a_j a_j + y_j of the nodes x_j are even, then this is also true for integrals over the set _j= _µ ^k D_j µ 1, k n. It is shown that noncollocation polynomials (Fourier polynomials, etc.) do not have these properties.Kiev University.

For an oscillating process _z(t) (_z(0)=2,t0), which is defined with the help of two homogeneous processes ₁(t) and ₂(t) with independent increments and nondegemerate Wiener components, under certain restrictions we establish a relation of the form and find the characteristic function of the ergodic distribution of the process considered.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 10, pp. 1415–1421, October, 1990.     

Lattice point theory of irractional ellipsoids with an arbitrary center

We shall consider positive definite quadratic formsQ inr2 variables of the almost diagonal shape where 2, and for 1j,Q _j is a positive definite quadratic form with integral coefficients inr _j variables, _j is a positive real number,r _j1 andr ₁+...+r =r Letb ₁,...,b _r be a system of real numbers with 0b _j<1. For x>0 letA(x) be the number of lattice points in the ellipsoidQ(u+b)x, letV(x) be the volume of this ellipsoid and letP(x)=A(x)-V(x). Our purpose is to find the exact order ofP(x); i. e., the numberf for which for each >0P(x)=O(x^f+) andP(x)=(x ^f–).     

An infinite dimensional analogue of the Albeverio-Röckner's theorem on Fukushima's conjecture

LetX be the solution of the SDE:dX _t = (X _t)dB _t +b(X _t)dt, with andb C _b (R) such that >0 for some constant , andB a real Brownian motion. Let be the law ofX onE=C([0, 1],R) andk E* – {0}, whereE* is the topological dual space ofE. Consider the classical form: _k (u, v)=u / kv / kd, whereu andv are smooth functions onE. We prove that, if _k is closable for anyk in a dense subset ofE* and if the smooth functions are contained in the domain of the generator of the closure of _k , must be a constant function.     

Induced product representations of extended Cuntz algebras

Let _H be the extended Cuntz algebra over the Hilbert space H. Since its zero grade part _H⁰ is the C^*-inductive limit of B(H^r), we look for some family of representations on an inductive limit of H^r as r. When such construction is shaped according to the structure of _H⁰, von Neumanns notion of a reference sequence of unit vectors for Hilbert infinite tensor products emerges; after a further Rieffel induction step, a class IPR[H] of representations of _H arises. For any two such representations, we describe explicitly their associated intertwiners. Any two representations in IPR[H] are either disjoint or unitarily equivalent. Actions of the group by translation on sequences of unit vectors are involved, as well as the ideals of .
