Subspace Arrangements of Type B n and D n

Let ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ be the family of linear subspaces of ?ⁿ given by all equations of the form $\varepsilon _1 x_{i_1 } = \varepsilon _2 x_{i_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot \varepsilon _k x_{i_k } ,$ for 1 ≤ < ? ? ? < i _k ≤ i and $\left( {\varepsilon _1 ,...,\varepsilon _k } \right)\varepsilon \left\{ { + 1, - 1} \right\}^k $ Also let ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h} $ be ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ enlarged by the subspaces $x_{j_1 } = x_{j_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot x_{j_h } = 0,$ for 1 ≤. The special cases ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,2,1} $ and ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} $ are well known as the reflection hyperplane arrangements corresponding to the Coxeter groups of type B _nand D _n respectively. In this paper we study combinatorial and topological properties of the intersection lattices of these subspace arrangements. Expressions for their Möbius functions and characteristic polynomials are derived. Lexicographic shellability is established in the case of ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} 1 \leqslant h < k$ , which allows computation of the homology of its intersection lattice and the cohomology groups of the manifold $\begin{gathered} {\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} \\ M_{n,k,h,} = {\mathbb{R}}^n \backslash \bigcup {{\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} } \\ \end{gathered} $ . For instance, it is shown that $H^d \left( {M_{n,k,k - 1} } \right)$ is torsion-free and is nonzero if and only if d = t(k ? 2) for some $t,0 \leqslant t \leqslant \left[ {{n \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {n k}} \right. \kern-0em} k}} \right]$ . Torsion-free cohomology follows also for the complement in ?ⁿof the complexification ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h}^C ,1 \leqslant h < k$ .     

Orthogonality properties of linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials II

Let and be polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the measures dσ and dμ, respectively. In this paper we consider the question how the orthogonality measures dσ and dμ are related to each other if the orthogonal polynomials are connected by a relation of the form , for , where . It turns out that the two measures are related by if , where and are known trigonometric polynomials of fixed degree and where the 's are the zeros of on . If the 's and 's are uniformly bounded then (under some additional conditions) much more can be said. Indeed, in this case the measures dσ and dμ have to be of the form and , respectively, where are nonnegative trigonometric polynomials. Finally, the question is considered to which weight functions polynomials of the form where denotes the reciprocal polynomial of , can be orthogonal. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Annihilators in BCK-Algebras

We introduce the concepts of an annihilator and a relative annihilator of a given subset of a BCK-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ . We prove that annihilators of deductive systems of BCK-algebras are again deductive systems and moreover pseudocomplements in the lattice ${\mathcal{D}\left( \mathcal{A} \right)}$ of all deductive systems on $\mathcal{A}$ . Moreover, relative annihilators of ${C \in \mathcal{D}\left( \mathcal{A} \right)}$ with respect to ${B\;{\text{in}}\;\mathcal{D}\left( \mathcal{A} \right)}$ are introduced and serve as relative pseudocomplements of C w.r.t. B in ${\mathcal{D}\left( \mathcal{A} \right)}$ .     

A-Systems, Independent Functions, and Sets Bounded in Spaces of Measurable Functions

Let $U \subset L_o ([0,1],\mathcal{M},m)$ be a set of Lebesgue measurable functions. Suppose also that two seminormed spaces of real number sequences are given: $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ . We study $\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ -sets U defined by the classes $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ as follows: $\forall a = (a_n ) \in \mathcal{A}, \forall (f_n (t)) \in u^\mathbb{N} $ (or for sequences similar to $(f_n (t))$ ) $\exists E = E(a) \subset [0,1], mE = 1$ such that $\{ a_n f_n (t)\} 1_E (t)\} \in \mathcal{B}, t \in [0,1]$ . We consider three versions of the definition of $\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ -sets, one of which is based on functions independent in the probability sense. The case ${\mathcal{B}}=l_\infty$ is studied in detail. It is shown that $({\mathcal{A}},l_\infty)$ -independent sets are sets bounded or order bounded in some well-known function spaces (L _p , L _p,q , etc.) constructed with respect to the Lebesgue measure. A characterization of such sets in terms of seminormed spaces of number sequences is given. The (l ₁,c _°)- and $(\mathcal{A},l_1 )$ -sets were studied by E. M. Nikishin.     

Height of a Superposition

We observe that, given a poset ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ and a finite covering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}} = {\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} \cup \cdots \cup {\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} $ of its ordering, the height of the poset does not exceed the natural product of the heights of the corresponding sub-relations: $$\mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)} \leqslant \mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} } \right)} \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}.$$ Conversely for every finite sequence $(\xi_1,\cdots,\xi_n)$ of ordinals, every poset ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ of height at most $\xi_1\otimes\cdots\otimes\xi_n$ admits a partition ${\left( {{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} , \cdots ,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}$ of its ordering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}}$ such that each ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{k} } \right)}$ has height at most $\xi_k$ . In particular for every finite sequence $(\xi_1,\cdots,\xi_n)$ of ordinals, the ordinal $$\xi _{1} \underline{ \otimes } \cdots \underline{ \otimes } \xi _{n} : = \sup {\left\{ {{\left( {\xi ^{\prime }_{1} \otimes \cdots \otimes \xi ^{\prime }_{n} } \right)} + 1:\xi ^{\prime }_{1} < \xi _{1} , \cdots ,\xi ^{\prime }_{n} < \xi _{n} } \right\}}$$ is the least $\xi$ for which the following partition relation holds $$\mathfrak{H}_{\xi } \to {\left( {\mathfrak{H}_{{\xi _{1} }} , \cdots ,\mathfrak{H}_{{\xi _{n} }} } \right)}^{2} $$ meaning: for every poset ${\left( {A,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ of height at least $\xi$ and every finite covering ${\left( {{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} , \cdots ,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}$ of its ordering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}}$ , there is a $k$ for which the relation ${\left( {A,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{k} } \right)}$ has height at least $\xi_k$ . The proof will rely on analogue properties of vertex coverings w.r.t. the natural sum.     

Regular Semigroups of Endomorphisms of von Neumann Factors

We study a class of $E_0$ -semigroups of endomorphisms of a von Neumann factor $\mathcal{M}$ possessing the following property: an $e_0$ -semigroup of endomorphisms of $\mathcal{B}\left( \mathcal{H} \right)$ , where $\mathcal{H}$ is the standard representation space for $\mathcal{M}$ , and a product system of Hilbert spaces can be associated with each of these $E_0$ -semigroups.     

Codimension 1 Subvarieties of {\mathcal{M}_g } and Real Gonality of Real Curves

Let ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ be the moduli space of smooth complex projective curves of genus g. Here we prove that the subset of ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ formed by all curves for which some Brill-Noether locus has dimension larger than the expected one has codimension at least two in ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ . As an application we show that if ${X \in \mathcal{M}_g }$ is defined over $\mathbb{R}$ then there exists a low degree pencil ${u:X \to \mathbb{P}^1 }$ defined over $\mathbb{R}.$      

Converse Quadrature sum Inequalities for Freud Weights. ii

Let $W: = \exp \left( { - Q} \right)$ , where $Q$ is of smooth polynomial growth at $\infty$ , for example $Q\left( x \right) = \left| x \right|^\beta ,\beta >1$ . We call $W^2 $ a Freud weight. Let $\left\{ {x_{j{\kern 1pt} n} } \right\}_{j = 1}^n $ and $\left\{ {\lambda _{j{\kern 1pt} n} } \right\}_{j = 1}^n $ denote respectively the zeros of the $n$ th orthonormal polynomial $p_n$ for $W^2 $ and the Christoffel numbers of order $n$ . We establish converse quadrature sum inequalities associated with W, such as $$\left\| {\left( {PW} \right)\left( x \right)\left( {1 + \left| x \right|} \right)^r } \right\|_{L_p \left( R \right)} $$ with $C$ independent of $n$ and polynomials P of degree $ < n$ , and suitable restrictions on $r$ , $R$ . We concentrate on the case ${ \geqq 4}$ , as the case ${p < 4}$ was handled earlier. We are able to treat a general class of Freud weights, whereas our earlier treatment dealt essentially with $\left( { - \left| x \right|^\beta } \right),\beta = 2,4,6,....$ Some applications to Lagrange interpolation are presented.     

Bundle Convergence of Cesàro Means of Orthogonal Sequences in Noncommutative L 2-Spaces

The notion of bundle convergence for sequences in von Neumann algebras and their L ²-spaces was introduced by Hensz, Jajte and Paszkiewicz in 1996. Bundle convergence is stronger than almost sure convergence. We prove that the sequence $\left({\sigma _n^\alpha:n = 0,1,...}\right)$ of the Cesàro means of order α > 0 of an orthogonal sequence $\left( {\xi _k } \right)$ in L ₂ is bundle convergent to the zero vector o of L ₂ as n → ∞, provided that $$\sum\limits_k^\infty{{{\left\|{\xi _k } \right\|^2 }\mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\left\| {\xi _k } \right\|^2 } {\left( {k + 1} \right)^{2\min \left\{ {\alpha ,1} \right\}} < \infty ,\quad \alpha \ne 1.}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {k + 1} \right)^{2\min \left\{ {\alpha ,1} \right\}} < \infty ,\quad \alpha \ne 1.}}}$$ The corresponding result in the commutative case was proved by Gaposhkin (for 0 < α < 1) and by the present author (for α > 1). Our basic tools are the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal representation theorem and an identity of Sunouchi and Yano which expresses ${\sigma _n^\alpha }$ in terms of ${\sigma_k^{\gamma }}$ , where α > γ > -1.     

Approximation by radial basis functions with finitely many centers

Interpolation by translates of “radial” basis functions Φ is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the pointwise error functional among all comparable quasiinterpolants on a certain “native” space of functions $\mathcal{F}_\Phi $ . Since these spaces are rather small for cases where Φ is smooth, we study the behavior of interpolants on larger spaces of the form $\mathcal{F}_{\Phi _0 } $ for less smooth functions Φ₀. It turns out that interpolation by translates of Φ to mollifications of functionsf from $\mathcal{F}_{\Phi _0 } $ yields approximations tof that attain the same asymptotic error bounds as (optimal) interpolation off by translates of Φ₀ on $\mathcal{F}_{\Phi _0 } $ .     

Sensitivity of best recovery in the Sobolev spaces W_\infty ^{r,d} , \widetilde W_\infty ^{r,d}for perturbed sampling

Let $I^d $ be the d‐dimensional cube, $I^d = [0,1]^d $ , and let $F \ni f \mapsto Sf \in L_\infty (I^d ) $ be a linear operator acting on the Sobolev space F, where Fis either $$$$ or $$$$ where $$\left\| f \right\|_F = \sum\limits_{\left| m \right| = r} {\mathop {{\text{esssup}}}\limits_{x \in I^d } \left| {\frac{{\partial f^{\left| m \right|} }} {{\partial x_1^{m_1 } \partial x_2^{m_2 } \cdot \cdot \cdot \partial x_d^{m_d } }}(x)} \right|.} $$ We assume that the problem elements fsatisfy the condition $\sum\nolimits_{\left| m \right| = r} {{\text{esssup}}} _{x \in I^d } \left| {f^{(m)} (x)} \right| \leqslant 1 $ and that Sis continuous with respect to the supremum norm. We study sensitivity of optimal recovery of Sfrom inexact samples of ftaken at npoints forming a uniform grid on $I^d $ . We assume that the inaccuracy in reading the sample vector is measured in the pth norm and bounded by a nonnegative number δ. The sensitivity is defined by the difference between the optimal errors corresponding to the exact and perturbed readings, respectively. Our main result is that this difference is bounded by $\mathcal{A}\delta $ , where $\mathcal{A} $ is a positive constant independent of the number of samples. This indicates that the curse of dimension, which badly affects the optimal errors, does not extend to sensitivity.     

Irregular and Singular Loci of Commuting Varieties

Let $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}} $ be the commuting variety of the Lie algebra $ \mathfrak{g} $ of a connected noncommutative reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{sing}}}} $ be the singular locus of $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}} $ and let $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{irr}}}} $ be the locus of points whose G-stabilizers have dimension > rk G. We prove that: (a) $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{sing}}}} $ is a nonempty subset of $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{irr}}}} $ ; (b) $ {\text{codim}}_{{\user1{\mathcal{C}}}} \,{\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{irr}}}} = 5 - {\text{max}}\,l{\left( \mathfrak{a} \right)} $ where the maximum is taken over all simple ideals $ \mathfrak{a} $ of $ \mathfrak{g} $ and $ l{\left( \mathfrak{a} \right)} $ is the “lacety” of $ \mathfrak{a} $ ; and (c) if $ \mathfrak{t} $ is a Cartan subalgebra of $ \mathfrak{g} $ and $ \alpha \in \mathfrak{t}^{*} $ root of $ \mathfrak{g} $ with respect to $ \mathfrak{t} $ , then $ \overline{{G{\left( {{\text{Ker}}\,\alpha \times {\text{Ker }}\alpha } \right)}}} $ is an irreducible component of $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{irr}}}} $ of codimension 4 in $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}} $ . This yields the bound $ {\text{codim}}_{{\user1{\mathcal{C}}}} \,{\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{sing}}}} \geqslant 5 - {\text{max}}\,l{\left( \mathfrak{a} \right)} $ and, in particular, $ {\text{codim}}_{{\user1{\mathcal{C}}}} \,{\user1{\mathcal{C}}}^{{{\text{sing}}}} \geqslant 2 $ . The latter may be regarded as an evidence in favor of the known longstanding conjecture that $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}} $ is always normal. We also prove that the algebraic variety $ {\user1{\mathcal{C}}} $ is rational.     

Characterization of Lie higher derivations on triangular algebras

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be unital rings, and $\mathcal{M}$ be an $\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ -bimodule, which is faithful as a left $\mathcal{A}$ -module and also as a right $\mathcal{B}$ -module. Let $\mathcal{U} = Tri\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{M},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ be the triangular algebra. In this paper, we give some different characterizations of Lie higher derivations on $\mathcal{U}$ .     

Strong asymptotics for Sobolev orthogonal polynomials

In this paper we obtain the strong asymptotics for the sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to the inner product $\left\langle {f,g} \right\rangle s = \sum\limits_{k - 0}^m {\int\limits_{\Delta _k } {f^{\left( k \right)} \left( x \right)g^{\left( k \right)} \left( x \right)d\mu \kappa } } \left( x \right)$ where $\left\{ {\mu _\kappa } \right\}_{k = 0}^m ,m \in \mathbb{Z}_ + $ , are measures supported on [?1,1] which satisfy Szegö's condition.     

Some results on metric n-Lie algebras

We study the structure of a metric n-Lie algebra G over the complex field C. Let G = SR be the Levi decomposition, where R is the radical of G and S is a strong semisimple subalgebra of G. Denote by m(G) the number of all minimal ideals of an indecomposable metric n-Lie algebra and R ⊥ the orthogonal complement of R. We obtain the following results. As S-modules, R ⊥ is isomorphic to the dual module of G/R. The dimension of the vector space spanned by all nondegenerate invariant symmetric bilinear forms on G is equal to that of the vector space of certain linear transformations on G; this dimension is greater than or equal to m(G) + 1. The centralizer of R in G is equal to the sum of all minimal ideals; it is the direct sum of R ⊥ and the center of G. Finally, G has no strong semisimple ideals if and only if R⊥■R.     

Approximation by M. Riesz Kernels in L p for p<1

Let α > 0. We consider the linear span $\mathfrak{X}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ of scalar Riesz's kernels $\left\{ {\tfrac{1}{{\left| {x - a} \right|^\alpha }}} \right\}_{a \in \mathbb{R}^n }$ and the linear span $\mathfrak{Y}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ of vector Riesz's kernels $\left\{ {\tfrac{1}{{\left| {x - a} \right|^{\alpha + 1} }}\left( {x - a} \right)} \right\}_{a \in \mathbb{R}^n }$ . We study the following problems. (1) When is the intersection $\mathfrak{X}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right) \cap L^p \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ dense in L^p(?ⁿ)? (2) When is the intersection $\mathfrak{Y}_\alpha \left( {\mathbb{R}^n } \right) \cap L^p \left( {\mathbb{R}^n ,\mathbb{R}^n } \right)$ dense in L^p(?ⁿ, ?ⁿ)? Bibliography: 15 titles.
