The First-Order Nonholonomic Connections with the Galilean Groups of Local Transformations. III

In the canonical smooth fiber bundles endowed with the metric tensor fields of relevant structure, we consider natural representations of the Galilean groups (1, n) and construct (1, n)-invariant generalized differential-geometric connections. In both regular and special cases of the representations of the considered groups (1, n), we find all affine nonholonomic , and _1,2-connections of the first order (see [1]–[3]) possessing the local Lie groups of transformations (1, n) and also describe the corresponding (1, n)invariant planar connections.

An example with the Pareto law as the limit function is given.

A Constructive Proof of the Generalized Gelfand Isomorphism

Using an analog of the classical Frobenius recursion, we define the notion of a Frobenius -homomorphism. For , this is an ordinary ring homomorphism. We give a constructive proof of the following theorem. Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, the th symmetric power of X, and the algebra of continuous complex-valued functions on X with the sup-norm; then the evaluation map defined by the formula identifies the space with the space of all Frobenius -homomorphisms of the algebra into with the weak topology.     

Differentiable Connections with Poincaré Groups of Local Transformations. I

In the canonical smooth fiber bundles , we study generalized differentiable connections constructed by the author in his previous works. Special emphasis is laid on the investigation of the behavior of these connections under local transformations of the classical Poincaré groups and extented Poincaré groups canonically acting in the given connections. We found all firstorder nonholonomic affine, connections with the groups and of local transformations and also constructed classes of the corresponding invariant secondorder connections.

We consider the energy functional of a two-phase elastic medium with quadratic energy densities defined for such that ,where is a measurable characteristic function. Under some natural conditions on the data of the problem, we prove the existence of an interval (t ^-,t ⁺) of the change of temperature such that the energy functional has only a minimizer such that for or such that t^ + $$ " align="middle" border="0"> . The energy functional has no minimizers such that or if . We derive two-sided estimates for the numbers in terms of the characteristics of the two-phase elastic medium and the boundary condition.

Bernstein-Type Theorems and Uniqueness Theorems

Let be an entire function of finite type with respect to finite order and let be a subset of an open cone in a certain n-dimensional subspace (the smaller , the sparser ). We assume that this cone contains a ray 0} \right\}$$ " align="middle" border="0"> . It is shown that the radial indicator of at any point may be evaluated in terms of function values at points of the discrete subset . Moreover, if tends to zero fast enough as over , then this function vanishes identically. To prove these results, a special approximation technique is developed. In the last part of the paper, it is proved that, under certain conditions on and , which are close to exact conditions, the function bounded on is bounded on the ray.     

Tissus linéaires et théorèmes d'algébrisation de type Abdel-inverse et Reiss-inverse

A d-web in ( ,0) is given by d complex analytic foliations of codimension one in ( ,0) which are in general position. A d-web in ( ,0) is linear if all the leaves are (pieces of) hyperplanes in and is algebraic if it is associated, by duality, to a nondegenerate algebraic curve in of degree d. We characterize linear webs in ( ,0). We give explicit conditions under which a linear d-web in ( ,0) is algebraic and we obtain equations for in this case. Some related problems are discussed and some questions are posed.

It is proved that there exists an infinite sequence of finitely based semigroup varieties such that, for all i, an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is undecidable while an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is decidable. An infinite sequence of finitely based semigroup varieties is constructed so that, for all i, an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is decidable whicle an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is not.     

Majorants and Extreme Points of Unit Balls in Bernstein Spaces

The Bernstein space B ^p () (1 $$ " align="middle" border="0"> 0) is the set of functions from L ^p( ) having Fourier transforms (in the sense of generalized functions) with supports in the compact segment [- , ]. Every function f has an analytic continuation onto the complex plane, which is an entire function of exponential type . The spaces B ^p ()\, are conjugate Banach spaces. Therefore, the closed unit ball in B ^p () has a rich set of extreme (boundary) points: coincides with the weakly ^* closed convex hull of its extreme points. Since, for 1< p< , B ^p () is a uniformly convex space, only the balls and have nontrivially arranged sets of extreme points. In this paper, in terms of zeros of entire functions, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of extremeness for functions from .

Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules: A New Direction in the Structure Theory of Representations

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a -module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra , M is locally -finite and has finite -multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when is a Cartan subalgebra. We also review the recent determination of which reductive in subalgebras are essential to a classification. Finally, we present in detail the emerging picture for the case when is a principal 3-dimensional subalgebra.     

Sequence Spaces l p,q in Probabilistic Characterizations of Weak Type Operators

We study operators (not necessarily linear) defined on a quasi-Bahach space X and taking values in the space of real-valued Lebesgue-measurable functions. Factorization theorems for linear and superlinear operators with values in the space are proved with the help of the Lorentz sequence spaces . Sequences of functions belonging to fixed bounded sets in the spaces are characterized for and . The possibility of distinguishing weak type operators (bounded in the space ) from operators factorizable through is obtained in terms of sequences of independent random variables. A criterion under which an operator is symmetrically bounded in order in , is established. Some refinements of the above-mentioned results are obtained for translation shift-invariant sets and operators. Bibliography: 30 titles.
