On the nonabelian tensor square and capability of groups of order <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>

A group G is said to be capable if it is isomorphic to the central factor group H/Z(H) for some group H. Let G be a nonabelian group of order p ² q for distinct primes p and q. In this paper, we compute the nonabelian tensor square of the group G. It is also shown that G is capable if and only if either Z(G) = 1 or p < q and G^ab=\mathbbZ_p×\mathbbZ_p{G^{\rm ab}=\mathbb{Z}_{p}\times\mathbb{Z}_{p}} .     

Commutative <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Algebras of Toeplitz Operators on Complex Projective Spaces

We prove the existence of commutative C*-algebras of Toeplitz operators on every weighted Bergman space over the complex projective space \mathbbPⁿ\mathbb(C){{\mathbb{P}^n}\mathbb{(C)}}. The symbols that define our algebras are those that depend only on the radial part of the homogeneous coordinates. The algebras presented have an associated pair of Lagrangian foliations with distinguished geometric properties and are closely related to the geometry of \mathbbPⁿ\mathbb(C){{\mathbb{P}^n}\mathbb{(C)}}.     

Dilation of Newton Polytope and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic Estimate

Let f(X) be a polynomial in n variables over the finite field  \mathbbF_q\mathbb{F}_{q}. Its Newton polytope Δ(f) is the convex closure in ℝ ⁿ of the origin and the exponent vectors (viewed as points in ℝ ⁿ ) of monomials in f(X). The minimal dilation of Δ(f) such that it contains at least one lattice point of $\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^{n}$\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^{n} plays a vital pole in the p-adic estimate of the number of zeros of f(X) in  \mathbbF_q\mathbb{F}_{q}. Using this fact, we obtain several tight and computational bounds for the dilation which unify and improve a number of previous results in this direction.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>*-Supplemented subgroups and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-nilpotency of finite groups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be c*-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K such that G = HK and H ⋂ K is permutable in G. It is proved that a finite group G that is S ₄-free is p-nilpotent if N _G (P) is p-nilpotent and, for all x ∈ G\N _G (P), every minimal subgroup of is c*-supplemented in P and (if p = 2) one of the following conditions is satisfied: (a) every cyclic subgroup of of order 4 is c*-supplemented in P, (b) , (c) P is quaternion-free, where P a Sylow p-subgroup of G and is the p-nilpotent residual of G. This extends and improves some known results. Published in Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 59, No. 8, pp. 1011–1019, August, 2007.     

Kernels and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Kernels of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Superscript>-ary 1-Perfect Codes

The rank of a q-ary code C is the dimension of the subspace spanned by C. The kernel of a q-ary code C of length n can be defined as the set of all translations leaving C invariant. Some relations between the rank and the dimension of the kernel of q-ary 1-perfect codes, over as well as over the prime field , are established. Q-ary 1-perfect codes of length n=(q^m − 1)/(q − 1) with different kernel dimensions using switching constructions are constructed and some upper and lower bounds for the dimension of the kernel, once the rank is given, are established.Communicated by: I.F.

On equivariant embedding of Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>* modules

We prove that an arbitrary (not necessarily countably generated) Hilbert G - module on a G - C ^* algebra admits an equivariant embedding into a trivial G - module, provided G is a compact Lie group and its action on is ergodic.     

On approximation of functions by trigonometric polynomials with incomplete spectrum in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>, 0 < <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < 1

Let B be a set of integers with certain arithmetic properties. We obtain estimates of the best approximation of functions in the space L _p , 0 < p <1, by trigonometric polynomials that are constructed by the system {e^ikx}_{k ? \mathbbZ\B} \{e^{ikx}\}_{k\in \mathbb{Z}\backslash B} .

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-valued triangle equality and inequality in Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-modules

We prove that for two elements x, y in a Hilbert C*-module V over a C*-algebra the C*-valued triangle equality |x + y| = |x| + |y| holds if and only if 〈x, y〉 = |x| |y|. In addition, if has a unit e, then for every x, y ∊ V and every ɛ > 0 there are contractions u, υ ∊ such that |x + y| ≦ u|x|u* + υ|y|υ* + ɛe.      

The classification of irreducible admissible mod <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> representations of a <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic GL<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

Let F be a finite extension of ℚ _p . Using the mod p Satake transform, we define what it means for an irreducible admissible smooth representation of an F-split p-adic reductive group over  [`( \mathbbF)]<sub>p</sub>\overline{ \mathbb{F}}_{p} to be supersingular. We then give the classification of irreducible admissible smooth GL <sub>n</sub> (F)-representations over  [`( \mathbbF)]_p\overline{ \mathbb{F}}_{p} in terms of supersingular representations. As a consequence we deduce that supersingular is the same as supercuspidal. These results generalise the work of Barthel–Livné for n=2. For general split reductive groups we obtain similar results under stronger hypotheses.

Typical <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Superscript>-Dimensions of Measures

For a probability measure μ on a subset of , the lower and upper L^q-dimensions of order are defined by We study the typical behaviour (in the sense of Baire’s category) of the L^q-dimensions and . We prove that a typical measure μ is as irregular as possible: for all q ≥ 1, the lower L^q-dimension attains the smallest possible value and the upper L^q-dimension attains the largest possible value.     

On representation theorem of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-expectations and paths of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-Brownian motion

We give a very simple and elementary proof of the existence of a weakly compact family of probability measures {Pθ ： θ∈θ} representing an important sublinear expectation- G-expectation E[·]. We also give a concrete approximation of a bounded continuous function X（ω） by an increasing sequence of cylinder functions Lip（Ω） in order to prove that Cb（Ω） belongs to the completion of Lip（Ω） under the natural norm E[｜·｜].     

Elementary abelian <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups of rank 2<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>+3 are not CI-groups

For every prime p>2 we exhibit a Cayley graph on \mathbbZ_p^2p+3\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{2p+3} which is not a CI-graph. This proves that an elementary abelian p-group of rank greater than or equal to 2p+3 is not a CI-group. The proof is elementary and uses only multivariate polynomials and basic tools of linear algebra. Moreover, we apply our technique to give a uniform explanation for the recent works of Muzychuk and Spiga concerning the problem.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-homology of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">*</Emphasis></Superscript>-categories and symmetric spectra representing <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-homology

We define K-homology groups K _* () for small C ^* -categories in terms of Hilbert modules over the C ^* -category . We also define a functor A ^f from the category of small C ^* -categories into the category of C ^* -algebras and show that there is a natural isomorphism . In addition, we give an easy construction of a functor from the category of C ^* -algebras into the category of symmetric spectra which represents K-homology, i.e. we show that the functor comes with a natural isomorphism for C ^* -algebras A. It then follows that the composition A ^f provides a functor that can be used in the Davis-Lück approach for constructing the Baum-Connes map.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-Dissipativity of Some Gradient Systems with Measurable Potential

We consider the operator in L ²(B, ν) and in L ¹(B, ν) with Neumann boundary condition, where U is an unbounded function belonging to for some q ∈(1, ∞), B is the possibly unbounded convex open set in where U is finite and ν(dx) = C exp (−2U (x))dx is a probability measure, infinitesimally invariant for N ₀. We prove that the closure of N ₀ is a m-dissipative operator both in L ²(B, ν) and in L ¹(B, ν). Moreover we study the properties of ergodicity and strong mixing of the measure ν in the L ² case.

(1, 1)-<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-coherent pairs

In this paper, we introduce the concept of (1, 1)-q-coherent pair of linear functionals (U,V)(\mathcal{U},\mathcal{V}) as the q-analogue to the generalized coherent pair studied by Delgado and Marcellán in (Methods Appl Anal 11(2):273–266, 2004). This means that their corresponding sequences of monic orthogonal polynomials {P _n (x)} _n ≥ 0 and {R _n (x)} _n ≥ 0 satisfy

Deforming the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1|2</Superscript> inside the Lie superalgebra of pseudodifferential operators on <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1|2</Superscript>

We classify deformations of the standard embedding of the Lie superalgebra $ \mathcal{K} $ \mathcal{K} (2) of contact vector fields on the (1, 2)-dimensional supercircle into the Lie superalgebra SΨD(S ^1|2 ) of pseudodifferential operators on the supercircle S ^1|2 . The proposed approach leads to the deformations of the central charge induced on $ \mathcal{K} $ \mathcal{K} (2) by the canonical central extension of SΨD(S ^1|2 ).
