Perturbations of subalgebras of type II1 factors

In this paper we consider two von Neumann subalgebras and of a type II₁ factor . For a map φ on , we define

     

When subset-sums do not cover all the residues modulo p

Let . We prove that a subset of , where p is a prime number, with cardinality larger than such that its subset sums do not cover has an automorphic image which is rather concentrated; more precisely, there exists s prime to p such that

     

Cap pairings and spectral sequences

Let be a small category. For an -diagram X and -diagrams A and B of pointed spaces, each pairing X∧A→B satisfying the projection formula induces a pairing . In this note we show that there is an induced pairing of homotopy spectral sequences compatible with abutments in the sense that

     

Congruences involving Bernoulli and Euler numbers

Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .     

Norm estimates of almost Mathieu operators

We estimate the norm of the almost Mathieu operator , regarded as an element in the rotation C^*-algebra . In the process, we prove for every λ∈R and the inequality

     

Existence and nonexistence of least energy solutions of the Neumann problem for a semilinear elliptic equation with critical Sobolev exponent and a critical lower-order perturbation

Let Ω be a smooth bounded domain in , with N?5, a>0, α?0 and . We show that the exponent plays a critical role regarding the existence of least energy (or ground state) solutions of the Neumann problem

     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

Properties of cyclic subspace regression

Various properties of the regression vector produced by cyclic subspace regression with regard to the meancentered linear regression equation are put forth. In particular, the subspace associated with the creation of is shown to contain a basis that maximizes certain covariances with respect to , the orthogonal projection of onto a specific subspace of the range of X. This basis is constructed. Moreover, this paper shows how the maximum covariance values effect the . Several alternative representations of are also developed. These representations show that is a modified version of the l-factor principal components regression vector , with the modification occurring by a nonorthogonal projection. Additionally, these representations enable prediction properties associated with to be explicitly identified. Finally, methods for choosing factors are spelled out.     

Geodesic currents and Teichmüller space

Consider a hyperbolic surface X of infinite area. The Liouville map assigns to any quasiconformal deformation of X a measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering X? of X. We show that the Liouville map is a homeomorphism from the Teichmüller space onto its image, and that the image is closed and unbounded. The set of asymptotic rays to consists of all bounded measured laminations on X. Hence, the set of projective bounded measured laminations is a natural boundary for . The action of the quasiconformal mapping class group on continuously extends to this boundary for .     

Kloosterman's uniformly distributed sequence

Applying the theory of uniform distribution, especially the Erdös-Turán-Koksma inequality and the Koksma-Hlawka inequality, to the two-dimensional Kloosterman sequence , j=1,2,…,?(n) (where , and ?(n) is the Euler function) we find an estimation for the discrepancy of this sequence and an error term for the Kth moment, K=1,2,…, of the sequence of distances as
