Relations between different types of spectra and spectral characterizations

In the study of the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of differential-difference equations the -spectrum has been useful, where and implies Fourier transform , with given , φ∈L ^∞(ℝ,X), X a Banach space, (half)line. Here we study and related concepts, give relations between them, especially weak Laplace half-line spectrum of φ, and thus ⊂ classical Beurling spectrum = Carleman spectrum =  ; also  = Beurling spectrum of “φ modulo ” (Chill-Fasangova). If satisfies a Loomis type condition (L _U ), then countable and uniformly continuous ∈U are shown to imply ; here (L _U ) usually means , indefinite integral Pf of f in U imply Pf in (the Bohl-Bohr theorem for = almost periodic functions, U=bounded functions). This spectral characterization and other results are extended to unbounded functions via mean classes , ℳ ^m U ((2.1) below) and even to distributions, generalizing various recent results for uniformly continuous bounded φ. Furthermore for solutions of convolution systems S*φ=b with in some we show . With these above results, one gets generalizations of earlier results on the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of neutral integro-differential-difference systems. Also many examples and special cases are discussed.     

Approach Theory in a Category: A Study of Compactness and Hausdorff Separation

In a topological construct endowed with a proper -factorization system and a concrete functor , we study -compactness and -Hausdorff separation, where is a class of “closed morphisms” in the sense of Clementino et al. (A functional approach to general topology. In: Categorical Foundations. Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Its Applications, vol. 97, pp. 103–163. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2004), determined by Λ. In particular, we point out under which conditions on Λ, the notion of -compactness of an object of coincides with 0-compactness of the image in Prap. Our results will be illustrated by some examples: except for some well-known ones, like b-compactness of a topological space, we also capture some compactness notions that were not considered before in the literature. In particular, we obtain a generalization of b-compactness to the setting of approach spaces. This notion is shown to play an important role in the study of uniformizability.

Homotopy Categories for Simply Connected Torsion Spaces

For each n > 1 and each multiplicative closed set of integers S, we study closed model category structures on the pointed category of topological spaces, where the classes of weak equivalences are classes of maps inducing isomorphism on homotopy groups with coefficients in determined torsion abelian groups, in degrees higher than or equal to n. We take coefficients either on all the cyclic groups with s ∈ S, or in the abelian group where is the group of fractions of the form with s ∈ S. In the first case, for n > 1 the localized category is equivalent to the ordinary homotopy category of (n − 1)-connected CW-complexes whose homotopy groups are S-torsion. In the second case, for n > 1 we obtain that the localized category is equivalent to the ordinary homotopy category of (n − 1)-connected CW-complexes whose homotopy groups are S-torsion and the nth homotopy group is divisible. These equivalences of categories are given by colocalizations , obtained by cofibrant approximations on the model structures. These colocalization maps have nice universal properties. For instance, the map is final (in the homotopy category) among all the maps of the form Y → X with Y an (n − 1)-connected CW-complex whose homotopy groups are S-torsion and its nth homotopy group is divisible. The spaces , are constructed using the cones of Moore spaces of the form M(T, k), where T is a coefficient group of the corresponding structure of models, and homotopy colimits indexed by a suitable ordinal. If S is generated by a set P of primes and S ^p is generated by a prime p ∈ P one has that for n > 1 the category is equivalent to the product category . If the multiplicative system S is generated by a finite set of primes, then localized category is equivalent to the homotopy category of n-connected Ext-S-complete CW-complexes and a similar result is obtained for .     

Epicompletion in Frames with Skeletal Maps,I: Compact Regular Frames

A frame homomorphism h : A ⟶ B is skeletal if x ^⊥⊥ = 1 in A implies that h(x)^⊥⊥ = 1 in B. It is shown that, in , the category of compact regular frames with skeletal maps, the subcategory , consisting of the frames in which every polar is complemented, coincides with the epicomplete objects in . Further, is the least epireflective subcategory, and, indeed, the target of the monoreflection which assigns to a compact regular frame A, the ideal frame ε A of , the boolean algebra of polars of A.      

Asymptotic behaviour of certain sets of associated prime ideals of Ext-modules

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, be an ideal of R and M be a finitely generated R-module. Melkersson and Schenzel asked whether the set becomes stable for a fixed integer i and sufficiently large j. This paper is concerned with this question. In fact, we prove that if s ≥ 0 and n ≥ 0 such that for all i with i < n, then is finite for all i with i < n, and is finite for all i with i ≤ n, where for a subset T of Spec(R), we set . Also, among other things, we show that if n ≥ 0, R is semi-local and is finite for all i with i < n, then is finite for all i with i ≤ n. K.

Generalized Continuous Posets and a New Cartesian Closed Category

With every subset selection for posets, there is associated a certain ideal completion . As shown by Erné, such completions help to extend classical results on domains and similar structures in the absence of the required joins. Some results about –predistributive or –precontinuous posets and –continuous functions are summarized and supplemented. In particular, several central results on function spaces in domain theory are extended to the setting of productive closed subset selections. The category FSBP, in which objects are finitely separated and upper bounded posets and arrows are continuous functions between them, is shown to be cartesian closed.

Normal Subgroups of B u Aut(Ω)

Aut(Ω) denotes the group of all order preserving permutations of the totally ordered set Ω, and if e ≤ u ∈ Aut(Ω), then B _u Aut(Ω) denotes the subgroup of all those permutations bounded pointwise by a power of u. It is known that if Aut(Ω) is highly transitive, then Aut(Ω) has just five normal subgroups. We show that if Aut(Ω) is highly transitive and u has just one interval of support, then B _u Aut(Ω) has normal subgroups, and there is a certain ideal of the lattice of subsets of (), the power set of the integers, such that the lattice of normal subgroups of every such Aut(Ω) is isomorphic to .

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.

The Similarity Between Finitary and Artinian-Finitary Groups

Let M be a module over the commutative ring R. The finitary automorphism group of M over R is and the Artinian-finitary automorphism group of M over R is We investigate further the surprisingly close relationship between these two types of automorphism groups. Their group theoretic properties seem practically identical.     

Sober Approach Spaces are Firmly Reflective for the Class of Epimorphic Embeddings

In [2] the subconstruct of sober approach spaces was introduced and it was shown to be a reflective subconstruct of the category of approach spaces. The main result of this paper states that moreover is firmly -reflective in for the class of epimorphic embeddings. ‘Firm -reflective’ is a notion introduced in [3] by G.C.L. Brümmer and E. Giuli and is inspired by the exemplary behaviour of the usual completion in the category of Hausdorff uniform spaces with uniformly continuous maps. It means that is -reflective in and that the reflector is such that belongs to if and only if is an isomorphism. Firm -reflectiveness implies uniqueness of completion in the sense that whenever is a map with and sober, the associated is an isomorphism. Our result generalizes the fact that in the category the subconstruct of sober topological spaces is firmly reflective for the class of b-dense embeddings in . Also firmness in some other subconstructs of will be easily obtained.A. Gerlo and C. Van Olmen are research assistants at the Fund of Scientific Research Vlaanderen (FWO). E.

Two-sided Two-cosided Hopf Modules and Yetter–Drinfeld Modules for Quasi-Hopf Algebras

For a quasi-Hopf algebra H, an H-bicomodule algebra and an H-bimodule coalgebra C we will show that the category of two-sided two-cosided Hopf modules is equivalent to the category of right–left generalized Yetter–Drinfeld modules . Using alternative versions of this result we will recover the category isomorphism between the categories of left–left and left–right Yetter–Drinfeld modules over a quasi-Hopf algebra.      

A two-step estimator of the extreme value index

In this paper, we build a two-step estimator , which satisfies , where is the well-known maximum likelihood estimator of the extreme value index. Since the two-step estimator can be calculated easily as a function of the observations, it is much simpler to use in practice. By properly choosing the first step estimator, such as the Pickands estimator, we can even get a shift and scale invariant estimator with the above property.

On pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices

Let B be a nilpotent matrix and suppose that its Jordan canonical form is determined by a partition λ. Then it is known that its nilpotent commutator is an irreducible variety and that there is a unique partition μ such that the intersection of the orbit of nilpotent matrices corresponding to μ with is dense in . We prove that map given by is an idempotent map. This answers a question of Basili and Iarrobino [9] and gives a partial answer to a question of Panyushev [18]. In the proof, we use the fact that for a generic matrix the algebra generated by A and B is a Gorenstein algebra. Thus, a generic pair of commuting nilpotent matrices generates a Gorenstein algebra. We also describe in terms of λ if has at most two parts.     

INJECTIVE MAPS ON PRIMITIVE SEQUENCES OVER Z/（p^e）

Let Z/(pe) be the integer residue ring modulo pe with p an odd prime and integer e ≥ 3. For a sequence (a) over Z/(pe), there is a unique p-adic decomposition (a) = (a)0 (a)1·p … (a)e-1 ·pe-1, where each (a)i can be regarded as a sequence over Z/(p), 0 ≤ i ≤ e - 1. Let f(x) be a primitive polynomial over Z/(pe) and G' (f(x), pe) the set of all primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe). For μ(x) ∈ Z/(p)[x] with deg(μ(x)) ≥ 2 and gcd(1 deg(μ(x)),p- 1) = 1,set ψe-1 (x0, x1,…, xe-1) = xe-1·[ μ(xe-2) ηe-3 (x0, x1,…, xe-3)] ηe-2 (x0, x1,…, xe-2),which is a function of e variables over Z/(p). Then the compressing map ψe-1: G'(f(x),pe) → (Z/(p))∞,(a) (→)ψe-1((a)0, (a)1,… ,(a)e-1) is injective. That is, for (a), (b) ∈ G' (f(x), pe), (a) = (b) if and only if ψe - 1 ((a)0, (a)1,… , (a)e - 1) =ψe - 1 ((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1). As for the case of e = 2, similar result is also given. Furthermore, if functions ψe-1 and ψe-1 over Z/(p) are both of the above form and satisfy ψe-1((a)0,(a)1,… ,(a)e-1) = ψe-1((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1) for (a),(b) ∈ G'(f(x),pe), the relations between (a) and (b), ψe-1 and ψe-1 are discussed.

Admissible Galois Structures and Coverings in Regular Mal’cev Categories

Given a regular Gumm category such that any regular epimorphism is effective for descent, we prove that any Birkhoff subcategory in gives rise to an admissible Galois structure. This result allows one to consider some new applications of the categorical Galois theory in the context of topological algebras. Given a regular Mal’cev category , we first characterize the coverings of the Galois structure induced by the subcategory of the abelian objects in . Then we consider as a subcategory of the category of the equivalence relations in , and we characterize the coverings of the corresponding Galois structure . By composing the Galois structures and we obtain the Galois structure induced by as a subcategory of . We give the characterization of the -coverings in terms of the coverings of and .
