Periodic automorphisms of takiff algebras, contractions, and θ-groups

Let be an algebraic Lie algebra and a (generalised) Takiff algebra. Any finite-order automorphism θ of induces an automorphism of of the same order, denoted . We study invariant-theoretic properties of representations of the fixed point subalgebra of on other eigenspaces of in . We use the observation that, for special values of m, the fixed point subalgebra, , turns out to be a contraction of a certain Lie algebra associated with and θ.

Triebel-Lizorkin Spaces of Para-Accretive Type and a Tb Theorem

In this article, we use a discrete Calderón-type reproducing formula and Plancherel-Pôlya-type inequality associated to a para-accretive function to characterize the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of para-accretive type $\dot{F}^{\alpha,q}_{b,p}In this article, we use a discrete Calderón-type reproducing formula and Plancherel-P?lya-type inequality associated to a para-accretive function to characterize the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of para-accretive type , which reduces to the classical Triebel-Lizorkin spaces when the para-accretive function is constant. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the boundedness of paraproduct operators. From this, we show that a generalized singular integral operator T with M _b TM _b ∈WBP is bounded from to if and only if and T ^* b=0 for , where ε is the regularity exponent of the kernel of T.

Schur–Weyl Reciprocity between the Quantum Superalgebra and the Iwahori–Hecke Algebra

In this paper, we establish Schur–Weyl reciprocity between the quantum general super Lie algebra and the Iwahori–Hecke algebra . We introduce the sign -permutation representation of on the tensor space of dimensional -graded -vector space . This action commutes with that of derived from the vector representation on . Those two subalgebras of satisfy Schur–Weyl reciprocity. As special cases, we obtain the super case (), and the quantum case (). Hence this result includes both the super case and the quantum case, and unifies those two important cases.Presented by A. Verschoren.     

Representation theory of $\mathcal{W}$-algebras

We study the representation theory of the -algebra associated with a simple Lie algebra at level k. We show that the “-” reduction functor is exact and sends an irreducible module to zero or an irreducible module at any level k∈ℂ. Moreover, we show that the character of each irreducible highest weight representation of is completely determined by that of the corresponding irreducible highest weight representation of affine Lie algebra of . As a consequence we complete (for the “-” reduction) the proof of the conjecture of E. Frenkel, V. Kac and M. Wakimoto on the existence and the construction of the modular invariant representations of -algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991)  17B68, 81R10     

The Inverse Resonance Problem for Hermite Operators

In this paper the inverse resonance problem for the Hermite operator is investigated. The Hermite operator with the creation operator , the annihilation operator , and a finitely supported multiplication operator b, is an unbounded operator on ℓ ²(ℕ₀) having finitely many eigenvalues and infinitely many resonances (except for b=0, when there are no eigenvalues or resonances). It is shown that knowing the location of eigenvalues and resonances determines the potential b uniquely.      

Special Quasigraded Lie Algebras and Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

We construct a family of special quasigraded Lie algebras of functions of one complex variables with values in finite-dimensional Lie algebra , labeled by the special 2-cocycles F on . The main property of the constructed Lie algebras is that they admit Kostant-Adler-Symes scheme. Using them we obtain new integrable finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems and new hierarchies of soliton equations.     

Boundary Limits for Bounded Quasiregular Mappings

In this paper we establish results on the existence of nontangential limits for weighted -harmonic functions in the weighted Sobolev space , for some q>1 and w in the Muckenhoupt A _q class, where is the unit ball in . These results generalize the ones in Sect. 3 of Koskela et al., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 348(2), 755–766, 1996, where the weight was identically equal to one. Weighted -harmonic functions are weak solutions of the partial differential equation

Groupoid and inverse semigroup presentations of ultragraph C *-algebras

Inspired by the work of Paterson on C ^* -algebras of directed graphs, we show how to associate a groupoid to an ultragraph in such a way that the C ^*-algebra of is canonically isomorphic to Tomforde’s C ^*-algebra . The groupoid is built from an inverse semigroup naturally associated to . A.E. Marrero was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Sloan Foundation and by a GAANN Fellowship.

Determination of holomorphic modular forms by primitive Fourier coefficients

We prove that Siegel modular forms of degree greater than one, integral weight and level N, with respect to a Dirichlet character of conductor are uniquely determined by their Fourier coefficients indexed by matrices whose contents run over all divisors of . The cases of other major types of holomorphic modular forms are included. The author is supported by the Grant-in-Aid for JSPS fellows.     

Primitive Ideals and Automorphisms of Quantum Matrices

Let be a field and q be a nonzero element of that is not a root of unity. We give a criterion for 〈0〉 to be a primitive ideal of the algebra of quantum matrices. Next, we describe all height one primes of ; these two problems are actually interlinked since it turns out that 〈0〉 is a primitive ideal of whenever has only finitely many height one primes. Finally, we compute the automorphism group of in the case where m ≠ n. In order to do this, we first study the action of this group on the prime spectrum of . Then, by using the preferred basis of and PBW bases, we prove that the automorphism group of is isomorphic to the torus when m ≠ n and (m,n) ≠ (1, 3),(3, 1).

Let be an infinite cardinal. We denote by the collection of all -representable Boolean algebras. Further, let be the collection of all generalized Boolean algebras B such that for each b ∈ B, the interval [0, b] of B belongs to . In this paper we prove that is a radical class of generalized Boolean algebras. Further, we investigate some related questions concerning lattice ordered groups and generalized MV-algebras.

Versal deformations and versality in central extensions of Jacobi schemes

Let be the scheme of the laws defined by the Jacobi identities on with a field. A deformation of , parametrized by a local ring A, is a local morphism from the local ring of at ϕ _m to A. The problem of classifying all the deformation equivalence classes of a Lie algebra with given base is solved by “versal” deformations. First, we give an algorithm for computing versal deformations. Second, we prove there is a bijection between the deformation equivalence classes of an algebraic Lie algebra ϕ _m = R ⋉ φ _n in and its nilpotent radical φ _n in the R-invariant scheme with reductive part R, under some conditions. So the versal deformations of ϕ _m in are deduced from those of φ _n in , which is a more simple problem. Third, we study versality in central extensions of Lie algebras. Finally, we calculate versal deformations of some Lie algebras. Supported by the EC project Liegrits MCRTN 505078.     

Bounded universal functions for sequences of holomorphic self-maps of the disk

We give several characterizations of those sequences of holomorphic self-maps {φ _n } _n≥1 of the unit disk for which there exists a function F in the unit ball of H ^∞ such that the orbit {F∘φ _n :n∈ℕ} is locally uniformly dense in . Such a function F is said to be a -universal function. One of our conditions is stated in terms of the hyperbolic derivatives of the functions φ _n . As a consequence we will see that if φ _n is the nth iterate of a map φ of into , then {φ _n } _n≥1 admits a -universal function if and only if φ is a parabolic or hyperbolic automorphism of . We show that whenever there exists a -universal function, then this function can be chosen to be a Blaschke product. Further, if there is a -universal function, we show that there exist uniformly closed subspaces consisting entirely of universal functions.     

A D’Alembert Formula for Flat Surfaces in the 3-Sphere

We find all the flat surfaces in the unit 3-sphere $\mathbb{S}^{3}We find all the flat surfaces in the unit 3-sphere that pass through a given regular curve of with a prescribed tangent plane distribution along this curve. The formula that solves this problem may be seen as a geometric analogue of the classical D’Alembert formula that solves the Cauchy problem for the homogeneous wave equation. We also provide several applications of this geometric D’Alembert formula, including a classification of the flat M?bius strips of  .      

Distances Between <Emphasis Type="Italic">σ</Emphasis>-Fields on a Probability Space

For a probability space (Ω,ℱ,P) and two sub-σ-fields we consider two natural distances: and . We investigate basic properties of these distances. In particular we show that if a distance (ρ or ) from ℬ to is small then there exists Z∈ℱ with small P(Z), such that for every B∈ℬ there exists such that B∖Z and A∖Z differ by a set of probability zero. This improves results of Neveu (Ann. Math. Stat. 43(4):1369–1371, [1972]), Jajte and Paszkiewicz (Probab. Math. Stat. 19(1):181–201, [1999]).      

Nilpotent Bicone and Characteristic Submodule of a Reductive Lie Algebra

Let be a finite-dimensional complex reductive Lie algebra and S() its symmetric algebra. The nilpotent bicone of is the subset of elements (x, y) of whose subspace generated by x and y is contained in the nilpotent cone. The nilpotent bicone is naturally endowed with a scheme structure, as nullvariety of the augmentation ideal of the subalgebra of generated by the 2-order polarizations of invariants of . The main result of this paper is that the nilpotent bicone is a complete intersection of dimension , where and are the dimensions of Borel subalgebras and the rank of , respectively. This affirmatively answers a conjecture of Kraft and Wallach concerning the nullcone [KrW2]. In addition, we introduce and study in this paper the characteristic submodule of . The properties of the nilpotent bicone and the characteristic submodule are known to be very important for the understanding of the commuting variety and its ideal of definition. The main difficulty encountered for this work is that the nilpotent bicone is not reduced. To deal with this problem, we introduce an auxiliary reduced variety, the principal bicone. The nilpotent bicone, as well as the principal bicone, are linked to jet schemes. We study their dimensions using arguments from motivic integration. Namely, we follow methods developed by Mustaţǎ in [Mu]. Finally, we give applications of our results to invariant theory.     

Bass Numbers of Local Cohomology Modules with Respect to an Ideal

Let be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let be an ideal of R. We give some inequalities between the Bass numbers of an R–module and those of its local cohomology modules with respect to . As an application of these inequalities, we recover results of Delfino-Marley and Kawasaki by showing that for a minimax R-module M and for any non-negative integer i, the Bass numbers of the ith local cohomology module are finite if one of the following holds:

Maximal subclasses of local fitting classes

A Fitting class $ \mathfrak{F} A Fitting class is said to be π-maximal if is an inclusion maximal subclass of the Fitting class of all finite soluble π-groups. We prove that is a π-maximal Fitting class exactly when there is a prime p ∊ π such that the index of the -radical in G is equal to 1 or p for every π-subgroup of G. Hence, there exist maximal subclasses in a local Fitting class. This gives a negative answer to Skiba’s conjecture that there are no maximal Fitting subclasses in a local Fitting class (see [1, Question 13.50]). Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2008 Savelyeva N.
