Zur Krümmungsverwandtschaft Von Zwangläufen in Affinen CK — Ebenen I

We study a map of osculating elements of an affine Cayley- Klein (CK-) plane into the Lie algebraA ₄(²) of the aequiform transformationsA ₄(²) of the given plane. If we use the real projective spaceP ₃() overA ₄(²) each osculating element defines a straight line inP ₃(). In the first part of this paper this map is studied in detail. In the second part we study second order properties of one- parameter motions and their corresponding properties in the Lie algebraA ₄(²). This is done by considering the analogen to the formula of EULERSAVARY in the image spaceP ³() overA ₄(²).     

A r (Ω)-Weighted Imbedding Inequalities for A-Harmonic Tensors

We prove the basic A _r ()-weighted imbedding inequalities for A-harmonic tensors. These results can be used to estimate the integrals for A-harmonic tensors and to study the integrability of A-harmonic tensors and the properties of the homotopy operator T: C (D, ^l )C (D, ^l–1).     

On computing the number of subgroups of a finite Abelian group

We consider the numberN _A (r) of subgroups of orderp ^r ofA, whereA is a finite Abelianp-group of type =₁,₂,..., _l ()), i.e. the direct sum of cyclic groups of order ⁱⁱ. Formulas for computingN _A (r) are well known. Here we derive a recurrence relation forN _A (r), which enables us to prove a conjecture of P. E. Dyubyuk about congruences betweenN _A (r) and the Gaussian binomial coefficient .     

Realizing Operadic Plus-constructions as Nullifications

In this paper we generalize the plus-construction given by M. Livernet for algebras over rational differential graded operads to the framework of cofibrant operads over an arbitrary ring (the category of algebras over such operads admits a closed model category structure). We follow the modern approach of J. Berrick and C. Casacuberta defining topological plus-construction as a nullification with respect to a universal acyclic space. We construct a universalH _*^Q-acyclic algebra and we define A A⁺ as the -nullification of the algebra A. This map induces an isomorphism in Quillen homology and quotients out the maximal perfect ideal of _0(A). As an application, we consider for any associative algebra R the plus-constructions of gl(R) in the categories of homotopy Lie and homotopy Leibniz algebras. This gives rise to two new homology theories for associative algebras, namely homotopy cyclic and homotopy Hochschild homologies. Over the rationals these theories coincide with the classical cyclic and Hochschild homologies.Primary: 19D06, 19D55; Secondary: 18D50, 18G55, 55P60, 55U35Received March 2003

An Inequality for Tail Probabilities of Martingales with Bounded Differences

Let M _n =X₁+...+X_n be a martingale with bounded differences X_m=M_m-M_m-1 such that {|X_m| _m}=1 with some nonnegative _m. Write ²= ₁ ² + ... + _n ² . We prove the inequalities {M _nx}c(1-(x/)), {M _n x} 1- c(1- (-x/)) with a constant . The result yields sharp inequalities in some models related to the measure concentration phenomena.     

Bounded projections and duality on spaces of holomorphic functions in the unit ball ofℂ n

In this paper three Banach spacesA ₀(),A andA ¹() of functions holomorphic in the unit ballB of ⁿ are defined. We exhibit bounded projections fromC ₀(B) ontoA ₀(), fromL ¹(B) ontoA ¹(), and fromL(B) ontoA(). Using these projections, we show thatA ₀()* A ¹() andA ¹()* A().Supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Long paths and cycles in tough graphs

For a graphG, letp(G) andc(G) denote the length of a longest path and cycle, respectively. Let (t,n) be the minimum ofp(G), whereG ranges over allt-tough connected graphs onn vertices. Similarly, let (t,n) be the minimum ofc(G), whereG ranges over allt-tough 2-connected graphs onn vertices. It is shown that for fixedt>0 there exist constantsA, B such that (t,n)A·log(n) and (t,n)·log((t,n))B·log(n). Examples are presented showing that fort1 there exist constantsA, B such that (t,n)A·log(n) and (t,n)B· log(n). It is conjectured that (t,n) B·log(n) for some constantB. This conjecture is shown to be valid within the class of 3-connected graphs and, as conjectured in Bondy [1] forl=3, within the class of 2-connectedK _1.l-free graphs, wherel is fixed.     

Extremal Eigenvalues of the Laplacian in a Conformal Class of Metrics: The `Conformal Spectrum'

Let M be a compact connected manifold of dimension n endowed witha conformal class C ofRiemannian metrics of volume one. For any integer k 0, we consider the conformal invariant _k ^c (C) defined as the supremum of the k-th eigenvalue _k (g) of the Laplace–Beltrami operator _g , where g runs over C.First, we give a sharp universal lower bound for _k ^c (C) extending to all k a result obtained by Friedlander andNadirashvili for k = 1. Then, we show that the sequence \{ _k ^c (C)\}, that we call `conformal spectrum',is strictly increasing and satisfies, k 0, _k+1 ^c (C) ^n/2– _k ^c (C) ^n/2 n ^n/2 _n , where _n is the volume of the n-dimensionalstandard sphere.When M is an orientable surface of genus , we also considerthe supremum _k ^top()of _k (g) over theset of all the area one Riemannian metrics on M, and study thebehavior of _k ^top() in terms of .     

Symmetrische Permutationsmengen

A permutation set (M, I) consisting of a setM and a set of permutations ofM, is calledsymmetric, if for any two permutations, the existence of anx M with (x) (x) and ^–1 (x) = ^–1 (x) implies ^–1 = ^–1 , andsharply 3-transitive, if for any two triples (x ₁,x ₂,x ₃), (y ₁,y ₂,y ₃) M ³ with|{x ₁,x ₂,x ₃ }| = |{y ₁,y ₂,y ₃ }| = 3 there is exactly one permutation with(x ₁) =y ₁,(x ₂) =y ₂,(x ₃) =y ₃. The following theorem will be proved.THEOREM.Let (M, ) be a sharply 3-transitive symmetric permutation set with |M|3, such that contains the identity. Then is a group and there is a commutative field K such that and the projective linear group PGL(2, K) are isomorphic.     

Continuous Quotients for Lattice Actions on Compact Spaces

Let < SL _n ( ) be a subgroup of finite index, where n 5. Suppose acts continuously on a manifold M, where ₁(M) = ⁿ , preserving a measure that is positive on open sets. Further assume that the induced action on H ¹(M) is non-trivial. We show there exists a finite index subgroup < and a equivariant continuous map : M ⁿ that induces an isomorphism on fundamental group. We prove more general results providing continuous quotients in cases where ₁(M) surjects onto a finitely generated torsion free nilpotent group. We also give some new examples of manifolds with actions.

Summary Let X(t)=(X ₁ (t), X ₂ (t), , X _t (t)) be a k-type (2k<) continuous time, supercritical, nonsingular, positively regular Markov branching process.

Asymptotic Density and the Asymptotics of Partition Functions

Let A be a set of positive integers with gcd (A) = 1, and let p _A (n) be the partition function of A. Let c ₀ = 2/3. If A has lower asymptotic density and upper asymptotic density , then lim inf log p _A (n)/c ₀ n and lim sup log p _A (n)/c ₀ n . In particular, if A has asymptotic density > 0, then log p _A (n) c₀n. Conversely, if > 0 and log p _A (n) c ₀ n, then the set A has asymptotic density .     

Topological hochschild homology of extensions of ?/p? by polynomials, and of ?[x]/(xn) and ?[x]/(xn?1)

Topological Hochschild homology is calculated for the rings /p[x]/(f(x)) (where p is prime and f(x) /p[x] any polynomial), [x]/(x ⁿ) and [x]/(x ⁿ–1). A spectral sequence argument is used for calculating the homology of the topological Hochschild homology spectrum, from which its stable homotopy structure can be read off since the spectrum is known for a priori reasons to be a restricted product of Eilenberg-MacLane spectra.     

Limit Theorems for the Maximum Terms of a Sequence of Random Variables with Marginal Geometric Distributions

Let X _n1 ^* , ... X _nn ^* be a sequence of n independent random variables which have a geometric distribution with the parameter p _n = 1/n, and M _n ^* = \max\{X _n1 ^* , ... X _nn ^* }. Let Z ₁, Z₂, Z₃, ... be a sequence of independent random variables with the uniform distribution over the set N _n = {1, 2, ... n}. For each j N _n let us denote X _nj = min{k : Z_k = j}, M _n = max{X_n1, ... X_nn}, and let S _n be the 2nd largest among X _n1, X_n2, ... X_nn. Using the methodology of verifying D(u_n) and D'(u_n) mixing conditions we prove herein that the maximum M _n has the same type I limiting distribution as the maximum M _n ^* and estimate the rate of convergence. The limiting bivariate distribution of (S_n, M_n) is also obtained. Let _n, _n N_n, , and T _n = min{M(A_n), M(B_n)}. We determine herein the limiting distribution of random variable T _n in the case _n , _n/_n > 0, as n .     

Logarithms and imaginary powers of closed linear operators

The imaginary powersA ^it of a closed linear operatorA, with inverse, in a Banach spaceX are considered as aC ₀-group {exp(itlogA);t R} of bounded linear operators onX, with generatori logA. Here logA is defined as the closure of log(1+A) – log(1+A ^–1). LetA be a linearm-sectorial operator of typeS(tan ), 0(/2), in a Hilbert spaceX. That is, |Im(Au, u)| (tan )Re(Au, u) foru D(A). Then ±ilog(1+A) ism-accretive inX andilog(1+A) is the generator of aC ₀-group {(1+A) ^it ;t R} of bounded imaginary powers, satisfying the estimate (1+A) ^it exp(|t|),t R. In particular, ifA is invertible, then ±ilogA ism-accretive inX, where logA is exactly given by logA=log(1+A)–log(1+A ^–1), and {A ^it;t R} forms aC ₀-group onX, with the estimate A ^it exp(|t|),t R. This yields a slight improvement of the Heinz-Kato inequality.     

Eigenvalue problem for an irregular λ-matrix

The solution of the eigenvalue problem is examined for the polyomial matrixD()=A_o^s+A₁^s–1+...+A_s when the matricesA ₀ andA ₂ (or one of them) are singular. A normalized process is used for solving the problem, permitting the determination of linearly independent eigenvectors corresponding to the zero eigenvalue of matrixD() and to the zero eigenvalue of matrixA ₀. The computation of the other eigenvalues ofD() is reduced to the same problem for a constant matrix of lower dimension. An ALGOL program and test examples are presented.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Semistable measures and limit theorems on real andp-adic groups

For any locally compact groupG, we show that any locally tight homomorphism from a real directed semigroup intoM ¹ (G) (semigroup of probability measures onG) has a shift which extends to a continuous one-parameter semigroup. IfG is ap-adic algebraic group then the above holds even iff is not locally tight. These results are applied to give sufficient conditions for embeddability of some translate of limits of sequences of the form {v _n ^kn } and M ¹ (G) such that ()= ^M , for somek>1 and AutG (cf. Theorems 2.1, 2.4, 3.7).
