A lattice space-time code of rank

For all previous constructions of lattice space-time codes with a positive diversity product, the rank was at most . In this paper, we give an example of a lattice space-time code of rank with a positive diversity product.

     

On the - boundedness of operators

We prove that if is in , is a Banach space, and is a linear operator defined on the space of finite linear combinations of -atoms in with the property that

then admits a (unique) continuous extension to a bounded linear operator from to . We show that the same is true if we replace -atoms by continuous -atoms. This is known to be false for -atoms.

     

-bounding and -induction

Working in the base theory of , we show that for all , the bounding principle for -formulas ( ) is equivalent to the induction principle for -formulas ( ). This partially answers a question of J. Paris.

     

Dieudonné rings associated with

We use Dieudonné theory for periodically graded Hopf rings to determine the Dieudonné ring structure of the -graded Morava -theory , with an odd prime, when applied to the -spectrum (and to ). We also expand these results in order to accomodate the case of the full Morava -theory .

     

Spectral radius algebras and contractions

We consider the spectral radius algebras associated to contractions. If is such an operator we show that the spectral radius algebra always properly contains the commutant of .

     

A note on -bases of a regular affine domain extension

Let be a tower of commutative rings where is a regular affine domain over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic and is a regular domain. Suppose has a -basis over and . For a subset of whose elements satisfy a certain condition on linear independence, let be a set of maximal ideals of such that is a -basis of over . We shall characterize this set in a geometrical aspect.

     

Rademacher multiplicator spaces equal to

Let be a rearrangement invariant function space on [0,1]. We consider the Rademacher multiplicator space of measurable functions such that for every a.e. converging series , where are the Rademacher functions. We characterize the situation when . We also discuss the behaviour of partial sums and tails of Rademacher series in function spaces.

     

The effective Chebotarev density theorem and modular forms modulo

Suppose that (resp. ) is a modular form of integral (resp. half-integral) weight with coefficients in the ring of integers of a number field . For any ideal , we bound the first prime for which (resp. ) is zero ( ). Applications include the solution to a question of Ono (2001) concerning partitions.

     

Topology of three-manifolds with positive -scalar curvature

Consider an -dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold with a given smooth measure on it. We call such a triple a Riemannian measure space. Perelman introduced a variant of scalar curvature in his recent work on solving Poincaré's conjecture , where and is the scalar curvature of . In this note, we study the topological obstruction for the -stable minimal submanifold with positive -scalar curvature in dimension three under the setting of manifolds with density.

     

Near-symmetry in and refined Jones factorization

We use variants of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal and the Cruz-Uribe-Neugebauer minimal operators to give direct characterizations of and that clarify their near symmetry and yield elementary proofs of various known results, including Cruz-Uribe and Neugebauer's refinement of the Jones factorization theorem.

     

Spectra of operators with Bishop's property

Let be a Banach space and let be the class that consists of all operators such that for every , the range of has a finite-codimension when it is closed. For an integer , we define the class as an extension of . We then study spectral properties of such operators, and we extend some known results of multi-cyclic operators with .

     

-identities for the Grassmann algebra: The conjecture of Henke and Regev

Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let be the infinite dimensional Grassmann (or exterior) algebra over . Denote by the vector space of the multilinear polynomials of degree in , ..., in the free associative algebra . The symmetric group acts on the left-hand side on , thus turning it into an -module. This fact, although simple, plays an important role in the theory of PI algebras since one may study the identities satisfied by a given algebra by applying methods from the representation theory of the symmetric group. The -modules and are canonically isomorphic. Letting be the alternating group in , one may study and its isomorphic copy in with the corresponding action of . Henke and Regev described the -codimensions of the Grassmann algebra , and conjectured a finite generating set of the -identities for . Here we answer their conjecture in the affirmative.

     

Sign changes of Hecke eigenvalues of Siegel cusp forms of degree

Let , , be the sequence of Hecke eigenvalues of a cuspidal Siegel eigenform of degree . It is proved that if is not in the Maaß space, then there exist infinitely many primes for which the sequence , , has infinitely many sign changes.

     

Automatic continuity of -derivations on -algebras

Let be a -algebra acting on a Hilbert space , let be a linear mapping and let be a -derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if is a continuous -mapping, then is automatically continuous. In addition, we show the converse is true in the sense that if is a continuous --derivation, then there exists a continuous linear mapping such that is a --derivation. The continuity of the so-called - -derivations is also discussed.

     

Maps on the -dimensional subspaces of a Hilbert space preserving principal angles

In a former paper we studied transformations on the set of all -dimensional subspaces of a Hilbert space which preserve the principal angles. In the case when , we could determine the general form of all such maps. The aim of this paper is to complete our result by considering the problem in the remaining case .

     

Polynomials with roots in for all

Let be a monic polynomial in with no rational roots but with roots in for all , or equivalently, with roots mod for all . It is known that cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more irreducible polynomials, and that if is a product of irreducible polynomials, then its Galois group must be a union of conjugates of proper subgroups. We prove that for any , every finite solvable group that is a union of conjugates of proper subgroups (where all these conjugates have trivial intersection) occurs as the Galois group of such a polynomial, and that the same result (with ) holds for all Frobenius groups. It is also observed that every nonsolvable Frobenius group is realizable as the Galois group of a geometric, i.e. regular, extension of .

Our work improves and extends some known results by Chandarana in 1996 and in a preprint. As an application, we obtain an boundedness result for some strongly parabolic singular integrals with rough kernels.

     

A remark on irregularity of the -Neumann problem on non-smooth domains

It is an observation due to J. J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in there exists such that the -Neumann operator on maps (the space of -forms with coefficient functions in -Sobolev space of order ) into itself continuously. We show that this conclusion does not hold without the smoothness assumption by constructing a bounded pseudoconvex domain in , smooth except at one point, whose -Neumann operator is not bounded on for any .

     

-adic -basis and regular local ring

We introduce the concept of -adic -basis as an extension of the concept of -basis. Let be a regular local ring of prime characteristic and a ring such that . Then we prove that is a regular local ring if and only if there exists an -adic -basis of and is Noetherian.

     

Dynamics of the function and the Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions in the primes

Let be the set of all positive integers , where are primes and possibly two, but not all three of them are equal. For any , define a function by where is the largest prime factor of . It is clear that if , then . For any , define , for . An element is semi-periodic if there exists a nonnegative integer and a positive integer such that . We use ind to denote the least such nonnegative integer . Wushi Goldring [Dynamics of the function and primes, J. Number Theory 119(2006), 86-98] proved that any element is semi-periodic. He showed that there exists such that , ind, and conjectured that ind can be arbitrarily large.

In this paper, it is proved that for any we have ind , and the Green-Tao Theorem on arithmetic progressions in the primes is employed to confirm Goldring's above conjecture.
