Eigenvector p-Bases of Rings of Constants of Derivations

Let A be a UFD of characteristic p > 0, let 𝒵 be a set of some eigenvectors of a derivation of A. We prove, under some additional assumptions, a necessary and sufficient condition for 𝒵 to be a p-basis of the minimal ring of constants containing 𝒵. The main preparatory result is the unique decomposition theorem with respect to a factor from a given subalgebra containing A^p.     

Some properties of c-covers of a pair of Lie algebras

In [H. Safa and H. Arabyani, On c-nilpotent multiplier and c-covers of a pair of Lie algebras, Commun. Algebra 45(10) (2017), 4429–4434], we characterized the structure of the c-nilpotent multiplier of a pair of Lie algebras in terms of its c-covering pairs and discussed some results on the existence of c-covers of a pair of Lie algebras. In the present paper, it is shown under some conditions that a relative c-central extension of a pair of Lie algebras is a homomorphic image of a c-covering pair. Moreover, we prove that a c-cover of a pair of finite dimensional Lie algebras, under some assumptions, has a unique domain up to isomorphism and also that every perfect pair of Lie algebras admits at least one c-cover. Finally, we discuss a result concerning the isoclinism of c-covering pairs.     

Picard Groups of Rings of Coinvariants

Let k be a field, H a Hopf k-algebra with bijective antipode, A a right H-comodule algebra and C a Hopf algebra with bijective antipode which is also a right H-module coalgebra. Under some appropriate assumptions, and assuming that the set of grouplike elements G(A ⊗ C) of the coring A ⊗ C is a group, we show how to calculate, via an exact sequence, the Picard group of the subring of coinvariants in terms of the Picard group of A and various subgroups of G(A ⊗ C).

Products of operators of multidimensional structured model of systems

The author has previously defined the concept of a general system in terms of operators and operands. An operand is a mapping defined on a subset of an m-fold Cartesian product instead of the usual set and collection of k-ary relations on it. An operator is a kind of mapping between two collections of operands. Here subsystems, extensions, and the notion of P-semiexactness is studied. In particular we derive conditions such that P-semiexactness of a composition of operators, and of one factor, implies P-semiexactness of the other factor.     

Depths of Powers of the Edge Ideal of a Tree

Lower bounds are given for the depths of R/I ^t for t ≥ 1 when I is the edge ideal of a tree or forest. The bounds are given in terms of the diameter of the tree, or in case of a forest, the largest diameter of a connected component and the number of connected components. These lower bounds provide a lower bound on the power for which the depths stabilize.     

Complexity of degenerations of modules

A module M over an associative algebra A over an algebraically closed field k is said to degenerate to a module N if N belongs to the closure of the isomorphism class of M in the algebraic variety of d-dimensional A-modules, . We associate a non-negative integer to a degeneration , its complexity, and study its properties. Received: January 30, 2001     

Existence of normal Hall subgroups by means of orders of products

Let G be a finite group, let π be a set of primes and let p be a prime. We characterize the existence of a normal Hall π‐subgroup in G in terms of the order of products of certain elements of G. This theorem generalizes a characterization of A. Moretó and the second author by using the orders of products of elements for those groups having a normal Sylow p‐subgroup 6 . As a consequence, we also give a π‐decomposability criterion for a finite group also by means of the orders of products.     

On the generation of bicliques of a graph

An independent set of a graph is a subset of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. A complete bipartite set B is a subset of vertices admitting a bipartition B=X∪Y, such that both X and Y are independent sets, and all vertices of X are adjacent to those of Y. If both X,Y≠∅, then B is called proper. A biclique is a maximal proper complete bipartite set of a graph. When the requirement that X and Y are independent sets of G is dropped, we have a non-induced biclique. We show that it is NP-complete to test whether a subset of the vertices of a graph is part of a biclique. We propose an algorithm that generates all non-induced bicliques of a graph. In addition, we propose specialized efficient algorithms for generating the bicliques of special classes of graphs.     

Constancy of p-harmonic maps of finite q-energy into non-positively curved manifolds

We investigate p-harmonic maps, p ≥ 2, from a complete non-compact manifold into a non-positively curved target. First, we establish a uniqueness result for the p-harmonic representative in the homotopy class of a constant map. Next, we derive a Caccioppoli inequality for the energy density of a p-harmonic map and we prove a companion Liouville type theorem, provided the domain manifold supports a Sobolev–Poincaré inequality. Finally, we obtain energy estimates for a p-harmonic map converging, with a certain speed, to a given point.
