Partitioning -large sets: Some lower bounds

Let denote the property: if is an -large set of natural numbers and is partitioned into parts, then there exists a -large subset of which is homogeneous for this partition. Here the notion of largeness is in the sense of the so-called Hardy hierarchy. We give a lower bound for in terms of for some specific .

     

Invariance in and

We define , a substructure of (the lattice of classes), and show that a quotient structure of , , is isomorphic to . The result builds on the isomorphism machinery, and allows us to transfer invariant classes from to , though not, in general, orbits. Further properties of and ramifications of the isomorphism are explored, including degrees of equivalence classes and degree invariance.

     

-theorems for fusion systems

For an odd prime, we generalise the Glauberman-Thompson -nilpotency theorem (Gorenstein, 1980) to arbitrary fusion systems. We define a notion of -free fusion systems and show that if is a -free fusion system on some finite -group , then is controlled by for any Glauberman functor , generalising Glauberman's -theorem (Glauberman, 1968) to arbitrary fusion systems.

     

Frobenius morphisms and representations of algebras

By introducing Frobenius morphisms on algebras and their modules over the algebraic closure of the finite field of elements, we establish a relation between the representation theory of over and that of the -fixed point algebra over . More precisely, we prove that the category    mod- of finite-dimensional -modules is equivalent to the subcategory of finite-dimensional -stable -modules, and, when is finite dimensional, we establish a bijection between the isoclasses of indecomposable -modules and the -orbits of the isoclasses of indecomposable -modules. Applying the theory to representations of quivers with automorphisms, we show that representations of a modulated quiver (or a species) over can be interpreted as -stable representations of the corresponding quiver over . We further prove that every finite-dimensional hereditary algebra over is Morita equivalent to some , where is the path algebra of a quiver over and is induced from a certain automorphism of . A close relation between the Auslander-Reiten theories for and is established. In particular, we prove that the Auslander-Reiten (modulated) quiver of is obtained by ``folding" the Auslander-Reiten quiver of . Finally, by taking Frobenius fixed points, we are able to count the number of indecomposable representations of a modulated quiver over with a given dimension vector and to generalize Kac's theorem for all modulated quivers and their associated Kac-Moody algebras defined by symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrices.

     

Functional distribution of with real characters and denseness of quadratic class numbers

We investigate the functional distribution of -functions with real primitive characters on the region as varies over fundamental discriminants. Actually we establish the so-called universality theorem for in the -aspect. From this theorem we can, of course, deduce some results concerning the value distribution and the non-vanishing. As another corollary, it follows that for any fixed with and positive integers , there exist infinitely many such that for every the -th derivative has at least zeros on the interval in the real axis. We also study the value distribution of for fixed with and variable , and obtain the denseness result concerning class numbers of quadratic fields.

     

Quivers with relations arising from clusters case)

Cluster algebras were introduced by S. Fomin and A. Zelevinsky in connection with dual canonical bases. Let be a cluster algebra of type . We associate to each cluster of an abelian category such that the indecomposable objects of are in natural correspondence with the cluster variables of which are not in . We give an algebraic realization and a geometric realization of . Then, we generalize the ``denominator theorem' of Fomin and Zelevinsky to any cluster.

Generalized interpolation in with a complexity constraint

In a seminal paper, Sarason generalized some classical interpolation problems for functions on the unit disc to problems concerning lifting onto of an operator that is defined on ( is an inner function) and commutes with the (compressed) shift . In particular, he showed that interpolants (i.e., such that ) having norm equal to exist, and that in certain cases such an is unique and can be expressed as a fraction with . In this paper, we study interpolants that are such fractions of functions and are bounded in norm by (assuming that , in which case they always exist). We parameterize the collection of all such pairs and show that each interpolant of this type can be determined as the unique minimum of a convex functional. Our motivation stems from the relevance of classical interpolation to circuit theory, systems theory, and signal processing, where is typically a finite Blaschke product, and where the quotient representation is a physically meaningful complexity constraint.

The cohomology of certain Hopf algebras associated with -groups

We study the cohomology of a locally finite, connected, cocommutative Hopf algebra over . Specifically, we are interested in those algebras for which is generated as an algebra by and . We shall call such algebras semi-Koszul. Given a central extension of Hopf algebras with monogenic and semi-Koszul, we use the Cartan-Eilenberg spectral sequence and algebraic Steenrod operations to determine conditions for to be semi-Koszul. Special attention is given to the case in which is the restricted universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra obtained from the mod- lower central series of a -group. We show that the algebras arising in this way from extensions by of an abelian -group are semi-Koszul. Explicit calculations are carried out for algebras arising from rank 2 -groups, and it is shown that these are all semi-Koszul for .

     

Finiteness theorems for positive definite -regular quadratic forms

An integral quadratic form of variables is said to be -regular if globally represents all quadratic forms of variables that are represented by the genus of . For any , it is shown that up to equivalence, there are only finitely many primitive positive definite integral quadratic forms of variables that are -regular. We also investigate similar finiteness results for almost -regular and spinor -regular quadratic forms. It is shown that for any , there are only finitely many equivalence classes of primitive positive definite spinor or almost -regular quadratic forms of variables. These generalize the finiteness result for 2-regular quaternary quadratic forms proved by Earnest (1994).

Curves of genus 2 with group of automorphisms isomorphic to or

The classification of curves of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field was studied by Clebsch and Bolza using invariants of binary sextic forms, and completed by Igusa with the computation of the corresponding three-dimensional moduli variety . The locus of curves with group of automorphisms isomorphic to one of the dihedral groups or is a one-dimensional subvariety.

In this paper we classify these curves over an arbitrary perfect field of characteristic in the case and in the case. We first parameterize the -isomorphism classes of curves defined over by the -rational points of a quasi-affine one-dimensional subvariety of ; then, for every curve representing a point in that variety we compute all of its -twists, which is equivalent to the computation of the cohomology set .

The classification is always performed by explicitly describing the objects involved: the curves are given by hyperelliptic models and their groups of automorphisms represented as subgroups of . In particular, we give two generic hyperelliptic equations, depending on several parameters of , that by specialization produce all curves in every -isomorphism class.

For each composite number , there does not exist a single connected closed -manifold such that any smooth, simply-connected, closed -manifold can be topologically flatly embedded into it. There is a single connected closed -manifold such that any simply-connected, -manifold can be topologically flatly embedded into if is either closed and indefinite, or compact and with non-empty boundary.

     

A new construction of -manifolds

This paper provides a topological method to construct all simply-connected, spin, smooth -manifolds with torsion-free homology using simply-connected, smooth -manifolds as building blocks. We explicitly determine the invariants that classify these -manifolds from the intersection form and specific homology classes of the -manifold building blocks.

We consider compact -manifolds having a submersion to in which each generic point inverse is a planar surface. The standard height function on a submanifold of is a motivating example. To we associate a connectivity graph . For , is a tree if and only if there is a Fox reimbedding of which carries horizontal circles to a complete collection of complementary meridian circles. On the other hand, if the connectivity graph of is a tree, then there is a level-preserving reimbedding of so that is a connected sum of handlebodies.
