Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimate in the first order autoregressive process

Summary In this paper we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) based onT observations from the first order Gaussian process up to the term of orderT ⁻¹. The expansion is used to compare with a generalized estimate including the least square estimate (LSE) , based on the asymptotic probabilities around the true value of the estimates up to the terms of orderT ⁻¹. It is shown that (or the modified MLE ) is better than (or the modified estimate ). Further, we note that does not attain the bound for third order asymptotic median unbiased estimates.     

The spectrum of compact hypersurface in sphere

Let M be a compact minimal hypersurface of sphere Sn 1(1). Let (M) be H (r)-torus of sphere Sn 1 (1).Assume they have the same constant mean curvature H, the result in [1] is that ifSpec0(M, g) =Spec0((M), g),then for 3≤ n ≤ 6, r2≤n-1/n or n ≥ 6, r2 ≥ n-1, then M is isometric to (M). We improved the result and prove that: if Spec0(M,g) =Spec0((M),g), then M is isometric to (M). Generally, if Specp(M,g) =Specp((M),g), here p is fixed and satisfies that n(n - 1) ≠ 6p(n - p), then M is isometric to (M).     

3-Folds in ℙ5 of degree 12of degree 12

Let be a 3-dimensional submanifold of ℙ⁵ of degree 12. This article gives, up to one case, a complete classification of the deformation classes of those 3-folds. The main tools used are methods already applied in the classification of degrees 9 to 11 and adjunction theoretic results. We show here how the 2^nd reduction of can be applied to analyse the birational structure of or even exclude the existence of .

A new class of contact riemannian manifolds

N. Tanaka ([10]) defined the canonical affine connection on a nondegenerate integrable CR manifold. In the present paper, we introduce a new class of contact Riemannian manifolds satisfying (C) ( for any unit -geodesic ( , where is the generalized Tanaka connection. In particular, when the associated CR structure of a given contact Riemannian manifold is integrable we have a structure theorem and find examples which are neither Sasakian nor locally symmetric but satisfy the condition (C).

Galois groups and complete domains

Consider a domain that is complete with respect to a non-zero prime ideal. This paper proves two Galois-theoretic results about such rings. Using Grothendieck’s Existence Theorem we prove that every finite group occurs as the Galois group of a Galois extension of . This generalizes results of David Harbater who proved the result in the case where the ideal is maximal and the domain is normal. As a consequence, we deduce that if is a Noetherian domain that is complete with respect to a non-zero prime ideal, then every finite group occurs as a Galois group over . This proves the Noetherian case of a conjecture posed by Moshe Jarden.     

Relative perturbation results for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of diagonalisable matrices

Let and be a perturbed eigenpair of a diagonalisable matrixA. The problem is to bound the error in and . We present one absolute perturbation bound and two relative perturbation bounds. The absolute perturbation bound is an extension of Davis and Kahan's sin θ Theorem from Hermitian to diagonalisable matrices. The two relative perturbation bounds assume that and are an exact eigenpair of a perturbed matrixD ₁ AD ₂ , whereD ₁ andD ₂ are non-singular, butD ₁ AD ₂ is not necessarily diagonalisable. We derive a bound on the relative error in and a sin θ theorem based on a relative eigenvalue separation. The perturbation bounds contain both the deviation ofD ₁ andD ₂ from similarity and the deviation ofD ₂ from identity. This work was partially supported by NSF grant CCR-9400921.     

The closure diagram for nilpotent orbits of the split real form of E8

Let and be adjoint nilpotent orbits in a real semisimple Lie algebra. Write ≥ if is contained in the closure of . This defines a partial order on the set of such orbits, known as the closure ordering. We determine this order for the split real form of the simple complex Lie algebra, E ₈. The proof is based on the fact that the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence preserves the closure ordering. We also present a comprehensive list of simple representatives of these orbits, and list the irreeducible components of the boundaries and of the intersections .     

On the space l P(β)

Let be a sequence of positive numbers and 1 ≤p < ∞. We consider the spacel ^P(β) of all power series such that . We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be cyclic inl ^P(β) and a point to be bounded point evaluation onl ^P(β).     

Zur Topologie der Dixmier-Abbildung

Summary  LetG be the coadjoint group of a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebrag. Forg solvable, the Dixmier-map is known to be a homeomorphism of the orbit space /G onto the space χ of primitive ideals in the enveloping algebra U(G) [6,15]. For , the Dixmier-map is known to be a bijection (and in general not a homeomorphism) with the space χ^l of all completely prime primitive ideals [7, 16]. Here we derive from a result ofW. SOERGEL [18], that this map issheet- wise a homeomorphism onto the image. Here a sheet is a maximal irreducible subset consisting of orbits of a fixed dimension; obviouslyg decomposes into finitely many sheets [3]. The results of this paper hold more generally forg semisimple, if one restricts to a sheet of polarizable orbits, where a Dixmier-map can be defined. Relative to a fixed polarization (a parabolic subalgebra)p ⊂g let I be the annihilator of the generic module induced from p. The „relative enveloping algebra“ ) has been studied e.g. bySOERGEL [19, 18]. Its center Z is described here by a relative Harish-Chandra isomorphism of the normalization with a suitable ring of group invariants (3.2). We study here the extension ofU by . We suggest that this very mild central extension ofU generates good properties and is very suitable for the study of the Dixmier-map (cf.4.3,5.6). In particular, we conjecture in case : Every minimal primitive ideal of is generated by a maximal ideal of the center. This would generalize for a well known theorem ofM. Duflo (casep Borel, where ). AsJ. Dixmier communicated in a letter, the main result here is exactly what he had hoped for when he first introduced a notion of sheets many years ago.

s-Prime elements in multiplicative lattices

Let be aC-lattice which is strong join principally generated. In this paper, we consider prime elements of for which every semiprimary element is primary. We show, for example, that a compact nonmaximal primep with this property is principal. We also show that if every primepm has this property, then is either a one dimensional domain or a primary lattice. It follows that if every primep satisfies the property, and if there are only a finite number of minimal primes in , then is the finite direct product of one-dimensional domains and primary lattices.

Eine Verallgemeinerung derCW-Komplexe

In the definition ofCW-complexes, the one-point spaceP, respectively the spaceP∪* with basepoint *, play the roll of the only “building-stone”. Let be a family of compact spaces. Then the definition of a generalizedCW-complex over is obtained from the definition of aCW-complex by replacingP by the spaces of and formation of the mapping cone by a slightly modified construction. LetCW * denote the category of all pointed spaces which have the homotopy type of a generalizedCW-complex over . If , thenCW * is the category of all pointedCW-spaces.CW * is closed under the formation of direct sums and of mapping cones, cylinders and tori, and is formally characterized as the smallest such subcategory of Top * containing the spaces W∪*, . Following the methods of E. H. Brown, it is proved, that any half exact homotopy functor onCW * is representable, and any cohomology theory onCW is naturally equivalent to the cohomology theory of an Ω-spectrum; for example, the singular cohomo logy is representable onCW for any family of compact spaces.      

Topological and bornological characterisations of ideals in von Neumann algebras: I

Suppose is a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space and is any ideal in . We determine a topology on , for which the members of that are to norm continuous are exactly those in ; and a bornology on such that the elements of which map the unit ball to an element of , equivalently those members of that are norm to bounded, are exactly those in . This is achieved via analogues of the notions of injectivity and surjectivity in the theory of operator ideals on Banach spaces.     

Marcinkiewicz-\theta-Summability of Fourier Transforms

A general summability method of two-dimensional Fourier transforms is given with the help of an integrable function . Under some conditions on we show that the maximal operator of the Marcinkiewicz- -means of a tempered distribution is bounded from to for all and, consequently, is of weak type , where depends only on . As a consequence we obtain a generalization for Fourier transforms of a summability result due to Marcinkievicz and Zhizhiashvili, more exactly, the Marcinkiewicz- -means of a function converge a.e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the Marcinkiewicz- -means are uniformly bounded on the spaces and so they converge in norm . Some special cases of the Marcinkievicz- -summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Fejér, de la Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski and Riesz summations. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Equivariant D-modules attached to nilpotent orbits in a semisimple Lie algebra

Let _u be a compact Lie algebra and let _u be its complexification. Let ζ^−1/2 be the inverse on the set of regular elements of _u of a square root of the discriminant of . Generalizing a result of W. Lichtenstein in the case _u = (n, ℂ) or (nℝ), we prove that ∂(q).ζ^1/2 is non zero for all harmonic polynomialsq ∈S( ) \ {0}. This fact is deduced from results about equivariantD-modules supported on the nilpotent cone of .

LetW be an open Riemann surface and ap-sheeted (1<p<∞) unlimited covering surface ofW. Denote by Δ¹ (resp., ) the minimal Martin boundary ofW (resp., ). For ζ ∈ Δ, let ζ be the (cardinal) number of the set of pionts which lie over ζ and the class of open connected subsetsM ofW such thatM∪{ζ} is a minimal fine neighborhood of ζ. Our main result is the following: , where is the number of components of π^-1 M and π is the projection of ontoW. Moreover, some applications of the above results are discussed whenW is the unit disc.
