Some New Extrapolation Estimates for the Scale of Spaces

Using new extrapolation estimates for the - and -functionals of couples of limit spaces of the -scale , we introduce a class of extrapolation functors. A characterization of this class via the real interpolation method permits one to obtain new equivalent expressions for the norms in symmetric spaces close to and , which depend only on the -norms of a function.     

Lp Contraction Semigroups for Vector Valued Functions

Let be a contraction semigroup on the space of vector valued functions ( is a Hilbert space). In order to study the extension of to a contaction semigroup on , Shigekawa [Sh] studied recently the domination property where is a symmetric sub-Markovian semigroup on . He gives in the setting of square field operators sufficient conditions for the above inequality. The aim of the present paper is to show that the methods of [12] and [13] can be applied in the present setting and provide two ways for the extension of to We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of sesquilinear forms for the contractivity property as well as for the above domination property in a more general situation.     

Domination in generalized Petersen graphs

Generalized Petersen graphs are certain graphs consisting of one quadratic factor. For these graphs some numerical invariants concerning the domination are studied, namely the domatic number , the total domatic number and the -ply domatic number for and . Some exact values and some inequalities are stated.     

Sur la cohomologie à supports compacts des variétés de Shimura pour GSp(4)_\mathbb{Q}

In this paper we compute the cohomology with compact supports of a Siegelthreefold as a virtual module over the product of the Galois group of over and the Hecke algebra. We use a method which has been developed by Ihara, Langlands and Kottwitz: comparison of the Grothendieck--Lefschetz formula and the Arthur--Selberg trace formula.     

On microfunctions at the boundary along CR manifolds

Let X be a complex analytic manifold, a C ² submanifold, an openset with C ² boundary .Denote by (resp. ) the microlocalization along M (resp. ) of the sheaf of holomorphic functions.In the literature (cf. [A-G], [K-S 1,2])one encounters two classical results concerning the vanishing of the cohomology groups .The most general gives the vanishing outside a range of indices j whose length is equal to (with being the number of respectively positive, negative and null eigenvalues for themicrolocal Levi form ).The sharpest result gives the concentration in a single degree, provided that the difference is locally constant for near p (with for z the base point of p).The first result was restated for the complex in [D'A-Z 2], in the case codim We extend it here to any codimension and moreover we also restate for the second vanishing theorem.We also point out that the principle of our proof, related to a criterion for constancy of sheaves due to [K-S 1], is a quite new one.     

Lattices of interpretability types of varieties

Let be the set of all primes, the field of all algebraic numbers, and Z the set of square-free natural numbers. We consider partially ordered sets of interpretability types such as , and , where AD is a variety of -divisible Abelian groups with unique taking of the pth root _p(x) for every p , is a variety of -modules over a normal field , contained in , and G_n is a variety of n-groupoids defined by a cyclic permutation (12 ...n). We prove that , and are distributive lattices, with and where ub and ub_f are lattices (w.r.t. inclusion) of all subsets of the set and of finite subsets of , respectively.Deceased.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 198–210, March–April, 2005.     

Brauer Diagrams, Updown Tableaux and Nilpotent Matrices

We interpret geometrically a variant of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence which links Brauer diagrams with updown tableaux, in the spirit of Steinberg's result [32] on the original Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Our result uses the variety of all where is a complete flag in is a nondegenerate alternating bilinear form on and N is a nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of the simultaneous stabilizer of both and instead of Steinberg's variety of where are two complete flags in and N is a nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of the simultaneous stabilizer of both .     

Systèmes dynamiques non archimédiens et corps des norms (Non-Archimedean Dynamic Systems and Fields of Norms)

Let _k be the ring of integers of a finite extension k of the field _p of p-adic numbers. The endomorphisms of a formal group law defined over _k provide nontrivial examples of commuting formal series with coefficients in _k . This article deals with the inverse problem formulated by Jonathan Lubin within the context of non-Archimedean dynamical systems. We present a large family of series, with coefficients in _p , which satisfy Lubin's conjecture. These series are constructed with the help of Lubin–Tate formal group laws over _p . We introduce the notion of minimally ramified series which turn out to be modulo p reductions of some series of this family. The commutant monoids of these minimally ramified series are determined by using the Fontaine–Wintenberger theory of the field of norms which allows an interpretation of them as automorphisms of _p -extensions of local fields of characteristic zero. A particularly effective example illustrating the paper is given by a family of series generalizing ebyev polynomials     

Commutativity of the Arens product in lattice ordered algebras

Let be an Abelian Archimedean lattice ordered algebra. The order bidual furnished with the Arens product is again a lattice ordered algebra. We show that the order continuous order bidual is Abelian. This solves an open problem and improves a result of Scheffold, who proved it for the case of normed lattice ordered algebras. The proof is based on the up-down-up approximation of positive elements in the order continuous order bidual by elements in the canonical image of in Components of positive elements in are characterized and the result is applied to the Arens product of -and almost -algebras.     

Type II Self-Dual Codes over Finite Rings and Even Unimodular Lattices

In this paper, we investigate self-dual codes over finite rings, specifically the ring of integers modulo 2m. Type II codes over are introduced as self-dual codes with Euclidean weights which are a multiple of 2m +1. We describe a relationship between Type II codes and even unimodular lattices. This relationship provides much information on Type II codes. Double circulant Type II codes over are also studied.

On Complete Arcs Arising from Plane Curves

We point out an interplay between -Frobenius non-classical plane curves and complete -arcs in . A typical example that shows how this works is the one concerning an Hermitian curve. We present some other examples here which give rise to the existence of new complete -arcs with parameters and being a power of the characteristic. In addition, for q a square, new complete -arcs with either and or and are constructed by using certain reducible plane curves.     

An Application of U(g)-bimodules to Representation Theory of Affine Lie Algebras

Let be the affine Lie algebra associated to the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra . We consider the tensor product of the loop -module associated to the irreducible finite-dimensional -module V() and the irreducible highest weight -module L _k,. Then L _k, can be viewed as an irreducible module for the vertex operator algebra M _k,0. Let A(L _k,) be the corresponding -bimodule. We prove that if the -module is zero, then the -module is irreducible. As an example, we apply this result on integrable representations for affine Lie algebras.     

Imprimitive Q-polynomial Association Schemes

It is well known that imprimitive P-polynomial association schemes with are either bipartite or antipodal, i.e., intersection numbers satisfy either for all for all . In this paper, we show that imprimitive -polynomial association schemes with are either dual bipartite or dual antipodal, i.e., dual intersection numbers satisfy either .     

Spin Models and Strongly Hyper-Self-Dual Bose-Mesner Algebras

We introduce the notion of hyper-self-duality for Bose-Mesner algebras as a strengthening of formal self-duality. Let denote a Bose-Mesner algebra on a finite nonempty set X. Fix p X, and let and denote respectively the dual Bose-Mesner algebra and the Terwilliger algebra of with respect to p. By a hyper-duality of , we mean an automorphism of such that for all ; and is a duality of . is said to be hyper-self-dual whenever there exists a hyper-duality of . We say that is strongly hyper-self-dual whenever there exists a hyper-duality of which can be expressed as conjugation by an invertible element of . We show that Bose-Mesner algebras which support a spin model are strongly hyper-self-dual, and we characterize strong hyper-self-duality via the module structure of the associated Terwilliger algebra.     

On the Irreducibility of Commuting Varieties Associated with Involutions of Simple Lie Algebras

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and an arbitrary -grading. We consider the variety , which is called the commuting variety associated with the -grading. Earlier it was proved by the author that is irreducible, if the -grading is of maximal rank. Now we show that is irreducible for and (E₆,F₄). In the case of symmetric pairs of rank one, we show that the number of irreducible components of is equal to that of nonzero non--regular nilpotent G ₀-orbits in . We also discuss a general problem of the irreducibility of commuting varieties.

Superlocals in Symmetric and Alternating Groups

On Aschbacher's definition, a subgroup N of a finite group is called a -superlocal for a prime if . We describe the -superlocals in symmetric and alternating groups, thereby resolving part way Problem 11.3 in the Kourovka Notebook [3].     

Evaluation Formulas for a Conditional Feynman Integral Over Wiener Paths in Abstract Wiener Space

In this paper, we introduce a simple formula for conditional Wiener integrals over , the space of abstract Wiener space valued continuous functions. Using this formula, we establish various formulas for a conditional Wiener integral and a conditional Feynman integral of functionals on in certain classes which correspond to the classes of functionals on the classical Wiener space introduced by Cameron and Storvick. We also evaluate the conditional Wiener integral and conditional Feynman integral for functionals of the form which are of interest in Feynman integration theories and quantum mechanics.     

A Geometric Characterization of Fischer's Baby Monster

The sporadic simple group F ₂ known as Fischer's Baby Monster acts flag-transitively on a rank 5 P-geometry . P-geometries are geometries with string diagrams, all of whose nonempty edges except one are projective planes of order 2 and one terminal edge is the geometry of the Petersen graph. Let be a flag-transitive P-geometry of rank 5. Suppose that each proper residue of is isomorphic to the corresponding residue in . We show that in this case is isomorphic to . This result realizes a step in classification of the flag-transitive P-geometries and also plays an important role in the characterization of the Fischer–Griess Monster in terms of its 2-local parabolic geometry.
