A Note on Dimension Modules

In [2 Camillo , V. P. , Zelmanowitz , J. M. ( 1980 ). Dimension modules . Pacific J. Math. 91 : 249 – 261 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] Camillo and Zelmanowitz stated that rings all whose modules are dimension modules are semisimple Artinian. It seem however that the proof in [2 Camillo , V. P. , Zelmanowitz , J. M. ( 1980 ). Dimension modules . Pacific J. Math. 91 : 249 – 261 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] contains a gap and applies to rings with finite Goldie dimension only. In this paper we show that the result indeed holds for all rings with a basis as well as for all commutative rings with Goldie dimension attained.

[CROSSREF] [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), we classify the radical subgroups and chains of the Fischer simple group Fi ₂₂ and verify the Alperin weight conjecture and the Uno reductive conjecture for this group; the latter is a refinement of the Dade reductive and Isaacs–Navarro conjectures.

     

A new family of set-theoretic solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation

A new family of non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation is constructed. Two subfamilies, consisting of irretractable square-free solutions, are new counterexamples to Gateva-Ivanova’s Strong Conjecture [7 Gateva-Ivanova, T. (2004). A combinatorial approach to the set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. J. Math. Phys. 45(10):3828–3858.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. They are in addition to those obtained by Vendramin [15 Vendramin, L. (2016). Extensions of set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and a conjecture of Gateva-Ivanova. J. Pure Appl. Algebra 220:2064–2076.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and [1 Bachiller, D., Cedó, F., Jespers, E., Okniński, J. (2017).

Supercharacter Theory Constructions Corresponding to Schur Ring Products

Diaconis and Isaacs have defined the supercharacter theories of a finite group to be certain approximations to the ordinary character theory of the group [7 Diaconis , P. , Isaacs , I. M. ( 2008 ). Supercharacters and superclasses for algebra groups . Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 360 : 2359 – 2392 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. We make explicit the connection between supercharacter theories and Schur rings, and we provide supercharacter theory constructions which correspond to Schur ring products of Leung and Man [12 Leung , K. H. , Man , S. H. ( 1996 ). On Schur rings over cyclic groups, II . J. Algebra 183 : 273 – 285 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], Hirasaka and Muzychuk [10 Hirasaka , M. , Muzychuk , M. ( 2001 ). An elementary abelian group of rank 4 is a CI-group . J.

Quasi-Deformations of 𝔰𝔩2(𝔽) Using Twisted Derivations

In this article we apply a method devised in Hartwig, Larsson, and Silvestrov (2006 Hartwig , J. T. , Larsson , D. , Silvestrov , S. D. ( 2006 ). Deformations of Lie algebras using σ-derivations . J. Algebra 295 : 314 – 361 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Larsson and Silvestrov (2005a Larsson , D. , Silvestrov , S. D. (2005a). Quasi-hom-Lie algebras, Central extensions and 2-cocycle-like identities. J. Algebra 288:321–344.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) to the simple 3-dimensional Lie algebra 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽). One of the main points of this deformation method is that the deformed algebra comes endowed with a canonical twisted Jacobi identity. We show in the present article that when our deformation scheme is applied to 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) we can, by choosing parameters suitably, deform 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) into the Heisenberg Lie algebra and some other 3-dimensional Lie algebras in addition to more exotic types of algebras, this being in stark contrast to the classical deformation schemes where 𝔰𝔩₂(𝔽) is rigid.     

A New Infeasible Interior-Point Method Based on a Non-Coercive Kernel Function with Improved Centering Steps for Second-Order Cone Optimization

In this article, we present a new full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible interior-point method for second-order cone optimization based on a non-coercive kernel function. The main iteration consists of a so-called feasibility step and one centering step, whereas the earlier versions, in [4 S. Bouali and S. Kabbaj ( 2014 ). Full-NT step infeasible interior-point method for SOCO based on a specific kernel function . Afr. Mat. 25 : 549 – 565 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], 21 M. Zangiabadi , G. Gu , and C. Roos ( 2013 ). A full Nesterov-Todd step infeasible interior-point method for second-order cone optimization . J. Optim. Theory Appl. 158 : 816 – 858 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], needed two additional centering steps. We use a kernel function to induce the feasibility step. The new algorithm reduces the searching steps in each iteration and tenders an interesting analysis for complexity bound.     

Remarks on the Global Solutions of 3-D Navier-Stokes System with One Slow Variable

By applying Wiegner's method in [16 Wiegner , M. ( 1987 ). Decay results for weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations on ? ⁿ . J. London Math. Soc. 35 : 303 – 313 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], we first prove the large time decay estimate for the global solutions of a 2.5 dimensional Navier-Stokes system, which is a sort of singular perturbed 2-D Navier-Stokes system in three space dimension. As an application of this decay estimate, we give a simplified proof for the global wellposedness result in [6 Chemin , J.-Y. , Gallagher , I. ( 2010 ). Large, global solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, slowly varying in one direction . Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 362 : 2859 – 2873 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] for 3-D Navier-Stokes system with one slow variable. Let us also mention that compared with the assumptions for the initial data in [6 Chemin , J.-Y. , Gallagher , I. ( 2010 ). Large, global solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, slowly varying in one direction . Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 362 : 2859 – 2873 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], here the assumptions in Theorem 1.3 are weaker.     

Double Ore Extensions Versus Iterated Ore Extensions

Motivated by the construction of new examples of Artin–Schelter regular algebras of global dimension four, Zhang and Zhang [6 Zhang , J. J. , Zhang , J. ( 2008 ). Double Ore extensions . J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212 ( 12 ): 2668 – 2690 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] introduced an algebra extension A _P [y ₁, y ₂; σ, δ, τ] of A, which they called a double Ore extension. This construction seems to be similar to that of a two-step iterated Ore extension over A. The aim of this article is to describe those double Ore extensions which can be presented as iterated Ore extensions of the form A[y ₁; σ₁, δ₁][y ₂; σ₂, δ₂]. We also give partial answers to some questions posed in Zhang and Zhang [6 Zhang , J. J. , Zhang , J. ( 2008 ). Double Ore extensions . J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212 ( 12 ): 2668 – 2690 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Certain Cyclically Presented Groups with the Same Polynomial

We consider three infinite families of cyclic presentations of groups, depending on a finite set of integers and having the same polynomial. Then we prove that the corresponding groups with the same parameters are isomorphic, and that the groups are almost all infinite. Finally, we completely compute the maximal Abelian quotients of such groups, and show that their HNN extensions are high-dimensional knot groups. Our results contain as particular cases the main theorems obtained in two nice articles: Johnson et al. (1999 Johnson , D. L. , Kim , A. C. , O'Brien , E. A. ( 1999 ). Certain cyclically presented groups are isomorphic . Comm. Algebra 27 ( 7 ): 3531 – 3536 . [CSA] [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and Havas et al. (2001 Havas , G. , Holt , D. F. , Newman , M. F. ( 2001 ). Certain cyclically presented groups are infinite . Comm. Algebra 29 ( 11 ): 5175 – 5178 .

Hilbert Function and Betti Numbers of Algebras with Lefschetz Property of Order m

The authors in Harima et al. (2003 Harima , T. , Migliore , J. C. , Nagel , U. , Watanabe , J. ( 2003 ). The weak and strong Lefschetz properties for artinian K-algebras . Journal of Algebra 262 : 99 – 126 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) characterize the Hilbert function of algebras with the Lefschetz property. We extend this characterization to algebras with the Lefschetz property m times. We also give upper bounds for the Betti numbers of Artinian algebras with a given Hilbert function and with the Lefschetz property m times and describe the cases in which these bounds are reached.     

The infinitesimal and the little q-Schur superalgebras

In this paper, based on the results in [8 Du, J., Gu, H.-X. (2014). A realization of the quantum supergroup U(𝔤𝔩_m|n). J. Algebra 404:60–99.[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] we give a monomial basis for q-Schur superalgebra and then a presentation for it. The presentation is different from that in [12 El Turkey, H., Kujawa, J. (2012). Presenting Schur superalgebras. Pacific J. Math., 262(2):285–316.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. Imitating [3 Cox, A. G. (1997). On some applications of infinitesimal methods to quantum groups and related algebras. Ph.D. Thesis. University of London. [Google Scholar]] and [7 Du, J., Fu, Q., Wang, J.-P. (2005). Infinitesimal quantum 𝔤𝔩_n and little q-Schur algebras. J. Algebra 287:199–233.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], we define the infinitesimal and the little q-Schur superalgebras. We give a “weight idempotent presentation” for infinitesimal q-Schur superalgebras. The BLM bases and monomial bases of little q-Schur superalgebras are obtained, and dimension formulas of infinitesimal and little q-Schur superalgebras are deduced.     

Relaxation of Optimal Control Problems Involving Time Dependent Subdifferential Operators

This article provides in the setting of infinite dimensional Hilbert space, a result concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions for Lipschitz single-valued perturbations of evolution problems associated with time-dependent subdifferential operators. The result is used to extend to optimal control problems associated with such equations the relaxation theorems with Young measures established in Casting et al. [7 C. Castaing , P. Raynaud de Fitte , and M. Valadier , M. ( 2004 ). Young Measures on Topological Spaces with Applications in Control Theory and Probability Theory .

The Complement Graph for Gaussian Integers Modulo n

This article is a continuation for the work done in [1 Abu Osba , E. , Al-Addasi , S. , Abu Jaradeh , N. ( 2008 ). Zero divisor graph for the ring of Gaussian integers modulo . n. Comm. Algebra 36 ( 10 ): 3865 – 3877 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 2 Abu Osba , E. , Al-Addasi , S. , Al-Khamaiseh , B. ( 2011 ).

It investigates when the complement graph of the zero divisor graph for the Gaussian integers modulo n connected, planar, regular, or Eulerian. The girth and diameter were also studied.     

Regularity of Analytic Algebra of Prime Characteristic

Let A be an analytic algebra over a field k of characteristic p > 0. In this article, for an analytic k-algebra we introduce the concept of analytic pⁿ-basis which generalizes the pⁿ-basis defined in [1 Furuya , M. , Niitsuma , H. ( 2002 ). Regularity criterion of Noetherian local rings of prime characteristic . J. Algebra 247 : 219 – 230 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], and the concept of an pⁿ-admissible field for an algebraic function field, we give regularity criteria and absolute regularity criteria for an analytic algebra A/k in terms of the higher differential algebra and analytic pⁿ-basis. The results are partial extension of our previous results for affine algebras to the case of analytic algebras (cf. [1 Furuya , M. , Niitsuma , H. ( 2002 ). Regularity criterion of Noetherian local rings of prime characteristic . J. Algebra 247 : 219 – 230 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 3 Furuya , M. , Niitsuma , H. (2006). Regular local rings essentially of finite type over fields of prime characteristic. J. Algebra 306:703–711.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]), and these are partial generalization of results of Orbanz in the analytic case (cf. [9 Orbanz , U. ( 1973 ). Höhere Derivationen und Regularität . J. Reine Angew. Mathematik 262/263 : 194 – 204 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]]).     

Fractional powers of sectorial operators via the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator

In the very influential paper [4 Caffarelli, L.A., Silvestre, L. (2007). An extension problem related to the fractional Laplacian. Commun. Partial Differential Equations 32:1245–1260.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] Caffarelli and Silvestre studied regularity of (?Δ)^s, 0<s<1, by identifying fractional powers with a certain Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Stinga and Torrea [15 Stinga, P.R., Torrea, J. (2010). Extension problem and Harnack’s inequality for some fractional operators. Commun. Partial Differential Equations 35:2092–2122.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and Galé et al. [7 Galé, J., Miana, P., Stinga, P.R. (2013). Extension problem and fractional operators: semigroups and wave equations. J. Evol. Eqn. 13:343–368.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] gave several more abstract versions of this extension procedure. The purpose of this paper is to study precise regularity properties of the Dirichlet and the Neumann problem in Hilbert spaces. Then the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator becomes an isomorphism between interpolation spaces and its part in the underlying Hilbert space is exactly the fractional power.     

Uniqueness Criteria for the Adjoint Equation in State-Constrained Elliptic Optimal Control

The article considers linear elliptic equations with regular Borel measures as inhomogeneity. Such equations frequently appear in state-constrained optimal control problems. By a counter example of Serrin [18 J. Serrin ( 1964 ). Pathological solutions of elliptic differential equations . Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. 18 : 385 – 388 . [Google Scholar]], it is known that, in the presence of non-smooth data, a standard weak formulation does not ensure uniqueness for such equations. Therefore several notions of solution have been developed that guarantee uniqueness. In this note, we compare different definitions of solutions, namely the ones of Stampacchia [19 G. Stampacchia ( 1965 ). Le probléme de Dirichlet pour les équations elliptiques du second ordre à coéffcients discontinus . Ann. Inst. Fourier 15 : 189 – 258 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]] and Boccardo-Galouët [4 L. Boccardo and T. Gallouët ( 1989 ). Nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations involving measure data . J. Func. Anal. 87 : 149 – 169 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] and the two notions of solutions of [2 J.-J. Alibert and J.-P. Raymond ( 1997 ). Boundary control of semilinear elliptic equations with discontinuous leading coefficients and unbounded controls . Numer. Func. Anal. Optim. 18 : 235 – 250 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 7 E. Casas (1993). Boundary control of semilinear elliptic equations with pointwise state constraints. SIAM J. Control Optim. 31:993–1006.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], and show that they are equivalent. As side results, we reformulate the solution in the sense of [19 G. Stampacchia ( 1965 ). Le probléme de Dirichlet pour les équations elliptiques du second ordre à coéffcients discontinus . Ann. Inst. Fourier 15 : 189 – 258 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]], and prove the existence of solutions in the sense of [2 J.-J. Alibert and J.-P. Raymond ( 1997 ). Boundary control of semilinear elliptic equations with discontinuous leading coefficients and unbounded controls . Numer. Func. Anal.

Monoid Valuations and Value Ordered Supervaluations

We complement two papers on supertropical valuation theory ([11 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2011 ). Supertropical semirings and supervaluations . J. Pure and Applied Alg. 215 ( 10 ): 2431 – 2463 . Preprint at arXiv:1003.1101 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], [12 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2013 ). Dominance and transmissions in supertropical valuation theory . Commun. Algebra 41 ( 7 ): 2736 – 2782 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]) by providing natural examples of m-valuations (= monoid valuations), and afterwards of supervaluations and transmissions between them. These supervaluations have values in totally ordered supertropical semirings, and the transmissions discussed respect the orderings. We develop the basics of the theory of such semirings and transmissions.     

Dominance and Transmissions in Supertropical Valuation Theory

This article is a sequel of [4 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2011 ). Supertropical semirings and supervaluations . J. Pure and Applied Alg. 215 ( 10 ): 2431 – 2463 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], where we defined supervaluations on a commutative semiring R and studied a dominance relation ? ≥ ψ between supervaluations ? and ψ on R, aiming at an enrichment of the algebraic tool box for use in tropical geometry.

A supervaluation ?: R → U is a multiplicative map from R to a supertropical semiring U, cf. [4 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2011 ). Supertropical semirings and supervaluations . J. Pure and Applied Alg. 215 ( 10 ): 2431 – 2463 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], [7 Izhakian , Z. , Rowen , L. ( 2011 ). Supertropical matrix algebra . Israel J. Math. 182 ( 1 ): 383 – 424 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], [8 Izhakian , Z. , Rowen , L. ( 2010 ). Supertropical polynomials and resultants . J. Alg. 324 : 1860 – 1886 . (Preprint at arXiv:0902.2155.) [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], [5 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. Supertropical monoids: Basics and canonical factorization . Preprint at arXiv:1108.1880 . [Google Scholar]], [9 Maclane , S. ( 1998 ). Categories for the Working Mathemtician. , 4th ed. Springer Vereag . [Google Scholar]], with further properties, which mean that ? is a sort of refinement, or covering, of an m-valuation (= monoid valuation) v: R → M. In the most important case, that R is a ring, m-valuations constitute a mild generalization of valuations in the sense of Bourbaki [1 Bourbaki , N. Algèbre Commutative VI, §3 No. 1 . [Google Scholar]], while ? ≥ ψ means that ψ: R → V is a sort of coarsening of the supervaluation ?. If ?(R) generates the semiring U, then ? ≥ ψ iff there exists a “transmission” α: U → V with ψ = α ○ ?.

Transmissions are multiplicative maps with further properties, cf. [4 Izhakian , Z. , Knebusch , M. , Rowen , L. ( 2011 ). Supertropical semirings and supervaluations . J. Pure and Applied Alg. 215 ( 10 ): 2431 – 2463 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Section 5]. Every semiring homomorphism α: U → V is a transmission, but there are others which lack additivity, and this causes a major difficulty. In the main body of the article we study surjective transmissions via equivalence relations on supertropical semirings. We put special emphasis on homomorphic equivalence relations. Even those are often much more complicated than congruences by ideals in usual commutative algebra.     

Une Neutralisation Explicite de L'algèbre de Weyl Quantique Complétée

Soit p un nombre premier. Nous établissons l'existence de neutralisations de divers complétés de l'algèbre de Weyl quantique spécialisée en une racine de l'unité primitive d'ordre p (qui est “génériquement” une algèbre d'Azumaya) et donnons en particulier un énoncé de neutralisation explicite relevant celui construit en caractéristique p dans [3 Gros , M. , Le Stum , B. , Quiros , A. ( 2010 ). A Simpson correspondence in positive characteristic . Publ. RIMS Kyoto Univ. 46 : 1 – 35 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].

Let p be a prime number. We establish the existence of neutralizations of various completions of the quantum Weyl algebra specialized at a primitive root of unity of prime order p (which is “generically” an Azumaya algebra) and, in particular, we give a statement of explicit neutralization similar to the one built in characteristic p in [3 Gros , M. , Le Stum , B. , Quiros , A. ( 2010 ). A Simpson correspondence in positive characteristic . Publ. RIMS Kyoto Univ. 46 : 1 – 35 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].
