Unconditional ideals of finite rank operators

Let X be a Banach space. We give characterizations of when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y in terms of nets of finite rank operators approximating weakly compact operators. Similar characterizations are given for the cases when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y, when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y, and when is a u-ideal in for every Banach space Y.     

On $$ \mathcal{C} $$*-sets and decompositions of continuous and ηζ-continuous functions

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the concepts of *-sets, *-continuous functions and to obtain new decompositions of continuous and ηζ-continuous functions. Moreover, properties of *-sets and some properties of -sets are discussed.      

Compact corigid objects in triangulated categories and co-<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-structures

In the work of Hoshino, Kato and Miyachi, [11], the authors look at t-structures induced by a compact object, , of a triangulated category, , which is rigid in the sense of Iyama and Yoshino, [12]. Hoshino, Kato and Miyachi show that such an object yields a non-degenerate t-structure on whose heart is equivalent to Mod(End()^op). Rigid objects in a triangulated category can the thought of as behaving like chain differential graded algebras (DGAs). Analogously, looking at objects which behave like cochain DGAs naturally gives the dual notion of a corigid object. Here, we see that a compact corigid object, , of a triangulated category, , induces a structure similar to a t-structure which we shall call a co-t-structure. We also show that the coheart of this non-degenerate co-t-structure is equivalent to Mod(End()^op), and hence an abelian subcategory of .      

On ideals and quotients of A \mathcal{T} -algebras

Some results on A -algebras are given. We study the problem when ideals, quotients and hereditary subalgebras of A -algebras are A -algebras or A -algebras, and give a necessary and sufficient condition of a hereditary subalgebra of an A -algebra being an A -algebra.     

Three-dimensional sets with small sumset

We describe the structure of three dimensional sets of lattice points, having a small doubling property. Let be a finite subset of ℤ³ such that dim = 3. If and , then lies on three parallel lines. Moreover, for every three dimensional finite set that lies on three parallel lines, if , then is contained in three arithmetic progressions with the same common difference, having together no more than terms. These best possible results confirm a recent conjecture of Freiman and cannot be sharpened by reducing the quantity υ or by increasing the upper bounds for .     

Normality concerning shared values

Let be a family of meromorphic functions in a plane domain D, and a and b be finite non-zero complex values such that . If for and , then is normal. We also construct a non-normal family of meromorphic functions in the unit disk Δ={|z|<1} such that for every and in Δ, where m is a given positive integer.

On maximal injective subalgebras in a <Emphasis Type="Italic">w</Emphasis>Γ factor

Let (F _ℚ) × _α ℤ be the crossed product von Neumann algebra of the free group factor (F _ℚ), associated with the left regular representation λ of the free group F _ℚ with the set {u _r : r ∈ ℚ} of generators, by an automorphism α defined by α(λ(u _r )) = exp(2πri)λ(u _r ), where ℚ is the rational number set. We show that (F _ℚ) × _α ℤ is a wΓ factor, and for each r ∈ ℚ, the von Neumann subalgebra generated in (F _ℚ) × _α ℚ by λ(u _r ) and υ is maximal injective, where υ is the unitary implementing the automorphism α. In particular, (F _ℚ) × _α ℣ is a wΓ factor with a maximal abelian selfadjoint subalgebra which cannot be contained in any hyperfinite type II₁ subfactor of (F _ℚ) × _α ℚ. This gives a counterexample of Kadison’s problem in the case of wΓ factor.

Perfect difference sets constructed from Sidon sets

A set of positive integers is a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has a unique representation as the difference of two elements of . We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence of this new approach we prove that there exists a perfect difference set such that

A note on the crossed product $$ \mathcal{R}(\mathcal{A},\alpha ) $$ associated with PSL2(ℝ)

Given the hyperbolic measure dxdy/y ² on the upper half plane ℍ, the rational actions of PSL₂(ℝ) on ℍ induces a continuous unitary representation α of this group on the Hilbert space L ²(ℍ, dxdy/y ²). Supposing that = {M _f : f ∈ L ^∞ (ℍ, dxdy/y ²)}, we show that the crossed product is of type I. In fact, the crossed product is *-isomorphic to the von Neumann algebra , where is the abelian group von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation of K.

Parabolic twists for the linear algebras <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>−1</Subscript>

New solutions of twist equations for the universal enveloping algebras U (A_n−1) are found. These solutions can be represented as products of full chains of extended Jordanian twists Abelian factors (“rotations”) , and sets of quasi-Jordanian twists . The latter are generalizations of Jordanian twists (with carrier b²) for special deformed extensions of the Hopf algebra U (b²). The carrier subalgebra for the composition is a nonminimal parabolic subalgebra in A _n−1 such that . The parabolic twisting elements are obtained in an explicit form. Details of the construction are illustrated by considering the examples n = 4 and n = 11. Bibliography: 21 titles. Published in Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 347, 2007, pp. 187–213.     

Degenerating curves and surfaces: first results

Let be a smooth family of surfaces whose general fibre is a smooth surface of ℙ³ and whose special fibre has two smooth components, intersecting transversally along a smooth curve R. We consider the Universal Severi-Enriques variety on . The general fibre of is the variety of curves on in the linear system with k cusps and δ nodes as singularities. Our problem is to find all irreducible components of the special fibre of . In this paper, we consider only the cases (k, δ) = (0, 1) and (k, δ) = (1, 0). In particular, we determine all singular curves on the special fibre of which, counted with the right multiplicity, are a limit of 1-cuspidal curves on the general fibre of .

Derivations of the even part of the odd hamiltonian superalgebra in modular case

In this paper we mainly study the derivations for even part of the finite-dimensional odd Hamiltonian superalgebra HO over a field of prime characteristic. We first give the generating set of the even part g of HO. Then we compute the derivations from g into the even part m of the generalized Witt superalgebra. Finally, we determine the derivation algebra and outer derivation algebra of and the dimension formulas. In particular, the first cohomology groups H^1（g;m） and H^1（g;g） are determined.

Furstenberg family and chaos

A Furstenberg family F is a family,consisting of some subsets of the set of positive integers,which is hereditary upwards,i.e.A■B and A∈F imply B∈F.For a given system (i.e.,a pair of a complete metric space and a continuous self-map of the space) and for a Furstenberg family F, the definition of F-scrambled pairs of points in the space has been given,which brings the well-known scrambled pairs in Li-Yorke sense and the scrambled pairs in distribution sense to be F-scrambled pairs corresponding respectively to suitable Furstenberg family F.In the present paper we explore the basic properties of the set of F-scrambled pairs of a system.The generically F-chaotic system and the generically strongly F-chaotic system are defined.A criterion for a generically strongly F-chaotic system is showed.
