Suspension Splittings and Self-maps of Flag Manifolds

If G is a compact connected Lie group and T is a maximal torus, we give a wedge decomposition of ΣG/T by identifying families of idempotents in cohomology. This is used to give new information on the self-maps of G/T.     

Skew Pairs of Idempotents in Transformation Semigroups

An ordered pair （e, f） of idempotents of a regular semigroup is called a skew pair if ef is not idempotent whereas fe is idempotent. We have shown previously that there are four distinct types of skew pairs of idempotents. Here we investigate the ubiquity of such skew pairs in full transformation semigroups.     

The construction of orthodox super rpp semigroups

We define orthodox super rpp semigroups and study their semilattice decompositions. Standard representation theorem of orthodox super rpp semigroups whose sub-band of idempotents is in the varieties of bands described by an identity with at most three variables are obtained.     

Principal quasi-Baerness of formal power series rings

Let R be a ring. We consider left （or right） principal quasi-Baerness of the left skew formal power series ring R[[x;α]] over R where a is a ring automorphism of R. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the ring R[[x; α]] is left （or right） principally quasi-Baer. As an application we show that R[[x]] is left principally quasi-Baer if and only if R is left principally quasi- Baer and the left annihilator of the left ideal generated by any countable family of idempotents in R is generated by an idempotent.     

Monomorphism categories associated with symmetric groups and parity in finite groups

Monomorphism categories of the symmetric and alternating groups are studied via Cayley’s Em-bedding Theorem. It is shown that the parity is well defined in such categories. As an application, the parity in a finite group G is classified. It is proved that any element in a group of odd order is always even and such a group can be embedded into some alternating group instead of some symmetric group in the Cayley’s theorem. It is also proved that the parity in an abelian group of even order is always balanced and the parity in an nonabelian group is independent of its order.     

THE ACTION OF THE LINEAR CHARACTER GROUP ON THE SET OF NON-LINEAR IRREDUCIBLE CHARACTERS

Let G be a nonabelian finite group. Then Irr(G/G′) is an abelian group under the multiplication of characters and acts on the set of non-linear irreducible characters of G via the multiplication of characters. The purpose of this paper is to establish some facts about the action of linear character group on non-linear irreducible characters and determine the structures of groups G for which either all the orbit kernels are trivial or the number of orbits is at most two. Using the established results on this action, it is very easy to classify groups G having at most three nomlinear irreducible characters.     

Mean size formula of wavelet subdivision tree on Heisenberg group

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mean size formula of wavelet packets （wavelet subdivision tree） on Heisenberg group. The formula is given in terms of the p-norm joint spectral radius. The vector refinement equations on Heisenberg group and the subdivision tree on the Heisenberg group are discussed. The mean size formula of wavelet packets can be used to describe the asymptotic behavior of norm of the subdivision tree.     

Wavelet transform and radon transform on the quaternion Heisenberg group

Let Q be the quaternion Heisenberg group,and let P be the affine automorphism group of Q.We develop the theory of continuous wavelet transform on the quaternion Heisenberg group via the unitary representations of P on L2(Q).A class of radial wavelets is constructed.The inverse wavelet transform is simplified by using radial wavelets.Then we investigate the Radon transform on Q.A Semyanistyi–Lizorkin space is introduced,on which the Radon transform is a bijection.We deal with the Radon transform on Q both by the Euclidean Fourier transform and the group Fourier transform.These two treatments are essentially equivalent.We also give an inversion formula by using wavelets,which does not require the smoothness of functions if the wavelet is smooth.In addition,we obtain an inversion formula of the Radon transform associated with the sub-Laplacian on Q.     

Affinely Prime Dynamical Systems

This paper deals with representations of groups by "affine" automorphisms of compact,convex spaces,with special focus on "irreducible" representations:equivalently "minimal" actions.When the group in question is PSL(2,R),the authors exhibit a oneone correspondence between bounded harmonic functions on the upper half-plane and a certain class of irreducible representations.This analysis shows that,surprisingly,all these representations are equivalent.In fact,it is found that all irreducible affine representations of this group are equivalent.The key to this is a property called "linear Stone-Weierstrass"for group actions on compact spaces.If it holds for the "universal strongly proximal space"of the group (to be defined),then the induced action on the space of probability measures on this space is the unique irreducible affine representation of the group.     

The Selmer Groups of Elliptic Curves

Let E/K be an elliptic curve with K-rational p-torsion points.The p-Selmer group of E is described by the image of a map λk and hence an upper bound of its order is given in terms of the class numbers of the S-ideal class group of K and the p-division field of E.     

Characterizations and representations of the group inverse involving idempotents

This paper is to present some results on the group invertibility of products and differences of idempotents. In addition, some formulae for the group inverse of sums, differences and products of idempotents are established by using some given idempotents.     

On the invertibility of Hilbert space idempotents

This note is to present some results on the group invertibility of linear combinations of idempotents when the difference of two idempotents is group invertible.     

Idempotents in $$F_+(G)$$F+(G)

In this paper, we compute the idempotents of the ring $$F_+(G)$$ as defined by Boltje (J Algebra 206:293–343, 1998) in the particular case when the Green biset functor F is such that for all subgroups H of a finite group G, F(H) is a torsion-free ring, finitely-generated as an Abelian group, and has only the trivial idempotents. In this case, the only idempotents in $$F_+(G)$$ are those arising from the Burnside ring B(G).

Primitive Idempotents of Schur Rings

In this paper, we explore the nature of central idempotents of Schur rings over finite groups. We introduce the concept of a lattice Schur ring and explore properties of these kinds of Schur rings. In particular, the primitive, central idempotents of lattice Schur rings are completely determined. For a general Schur ring S, S contains a maximal lattice Schur ring, whose central, primitive idempotents form a system of pairwise orthogonal, central idempotents in S. We show that if S is a Schur ring with rational coefficients over a cyclic group, then these idempotents are always primitive and are spanned by the normal subgroups contained in S. Furthermore, a Wedderburn decomposition of Schur rings over cyclic groups is given. Some examples of Schur rings over non-cyclic groups will also be explored.     

Explicit determination of certain minimal constabelian codes

Constabelian codes can be viewed as ideals in twisted group algebras over finite fields. In this paper we study decomposition of semisimple twisted group algebras of finite abelian groups and prove results regarding complete determination of a full set of primitive orthogonal idempotents in such algebras. We also explicitly determine complete sets of primitive orthogonal idempotents of twisted group algebras of finite cyclic and abelian p-groups. We also describe methods of determining complete set of primitive idempotents of abelian groups whose orders are divisible by more than one prime and give concrete (numerical) examples of minimal constabelian codes, illustrating the above mentioned results.     

Fusion Procedure for Wreath Products of Finite Groups by the Symmetric Group

Let G be a finite group. A complete system of pairwise orthogonal idempotents is constructed for the wreath product of G by the symmetric group by means of a fusion procedure, that is by consecutive evaluations of a rational function with values in the group ring. This complete system of idempotents is indexed by standard Young multi-tableaux. Associated to the wreath product of G by the symmetric group, a Baxterized form for the Artin generators of the symmetric group is defined and appears in the rational function used in the fusion procedure.     

The p-Blocks of the Mackey Algebra

Let p be a prime number. This paper describes the primitive idempotents and prime spectrum of the crossed Burnside algebra of a finite group over a p-local ring. The main application is a formula for the block idempotents of the p-local Mackey algebra of the group, in terms of the corresponding bloks of the group algebra.     

Inverse Near Permutation Semigroups

A transformation semigroup over a set X with N elements is said to be a near permutation semigroup if it is generated by a group G of permutations on N elements and by a set H of transformations of rank N - 1. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a near permutation semigroup S = ‹G,H›, where H is a group, to be inverse. Moreover, we obtain conditions which guarantee that its semilattice of idempotents is generated by the idempotents of S of rank greater than N - 2 or N - 3.
