On the Generalized Enveloping Algebra of a Color Lie Algebra

Let G be an abelian group, ε an anti-bicharacter of G and L a G-graded ε Lie algebra (color Lie algebra) over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that for all G-graded, positively filtered A such that the associated graded algebra is isomorphic to the G-graded ε-symmetric algebra S(L), there is a G- graded ε-Lie algebra L and a G-graded scalar two cocycle , such that A is isomorphic to U _ω (L) the generalized enveloping algebra of L associated with ω. We also prove there is an isomorphism of graded spaces between the Hochschild cohomology of the generalized universal enveloping algebra U(L) and the generalized cohomology of the color Lie algebra L.

Depth Generated Simple Lie Algebras

A Lie module algebra for a Lie algebra L is an algebra and L-module A such that L acts on A by derivations. The depth Lie algebra of a Lie algebra L with Lie module algebra A acts on a corresponding depth Lie module algebra . This determines a depth functor from the category of Lie module algebra pairs to itself. Remarkably, this functor preserves central simplicity. It follows that the Lie algebras corresponding to faithful central simple Lie module algebra pairs (A,L) with A commutative are simple. Upon iteration at such (A,L), the Lie algebras are simple for all i ∈ ω. In particular, the (i ∈ ω) corresponding to central simple Jordan Lie algops (A,L) are simple Lie algebras.

Realising Smashing Localisations as Morphisms of DG Algebras

For a smashing localisation L of the derived category of a differential graded (dg) algebra A we construct a dg algebra A _L and a morphism of dg algebras A→A _L that induces the canonical map in cohomology. As a first application we obtain a localisations of a dg algebra A with graded commutative homology at a prime ideal in the homology H ^* A, namely a morphism of dg algebras. As a second application we can use results of Keller to “model” every smashing localisation of compactly generated algebraic triangulated categories by a morphism of dg algebras.      

Isometric Group Actions on Banach Spaces and Representations Vanishing at Infinity

Our main result is that the simple Lie group G = Sp(n, 1) acts metrically properly isometrically on L ^p (G) if p > 4n + 2. To prove this, we introduce Property , with V being a Banach space: a locally compact group G has Property if every affine isometric action of G on V, such that the linear part is a C ₀-representation of G, either has a fixed point or is metrically proper. We prove that solvable groups, connected Lie groups, and linear algebraic groups over a local field of characteristic zero, have Property . As a consequence, for unitary representations, we characterize those groups in the latter classes for which the first cohomology with respect to the left regular representation on L ²(G) is nonzero; and we characterize uniform lattices in those groups for which the first L2-Betti number is nonzero.      

Cocycle and orbit equivalence superrigidity for malleable actions of w-rigid groups

We prove that if a countable discrete group Γ is w-rigid, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup H with the relative property (T) (e.g. , or Γ=H×H’ with H an infinite Kazhdan group and H’ arbitrary), and is a closed subgroup of the group of unitaries of a finite separable von Neumann algebra (e.g. countable discrete, or separable compact), then any -valued measurable cocycle for a measure preserving action of Γ on a probability space (X,μ) which is weak mixing on H and s-malleable (e.g. the Bernoulli action ) is cohomologous to a group morphism of Γ into . We use the case discrete of this result to prove that if in addition Γ has no non-trivial finite normal subgroups then any orbit equivalence between and a free ergodic measure preserving action of a countable group Λ is implemented by a conjugacy of the actions, with respect to some group isomorphism Γ≃Λ.     

The product of two von Neumann n-frames, its characteristic, and modular fractal lattices

Let L be a bounded lattice. If for each a₁ < b₁ ∈ L and a₂ < b₂ ∈ L there is a lattice embedding ψ: [a₁, b₁] → [a₂, b₂] with ψ(a₁) = a₂ and ψ(b₁) = b₂, then we say that L is a quasifractal. If ψ can always be chosen to be an isomorphism or, equivalently, if L is isomorphic to each of its nontrivial intervals, then L will be called a fractal lattice. For a ring R with 1 let denote the lattice variety generated by the submodule lattices of R-modules. Varieties of this kind are completely described in [16]. The prime field of characteristic p will be denoted by F_p. Let be a lattice variety generated by a nondistributive modular quasifractal. The main theorem says that is neither too small nor too large in the following sense: there is a unique , a prime number or zero, such that and for any n ≥ 3 and any nontrivial (normalized von Neumann) n-frame of any lattice in , is of characteristic p. We do not know if in general; however we point out that, for any ring R with 1, implies . It will not be hard to show that is Arguesian. The main theorem does have a content, for it has been shown in [2] that each of the is generated by a single fractal lattice L_p; moreover we can stipulate either that L_p is a continuous geometry or that L_p is countable. The proof of the main theorem is based on the following result of the present paper: if is a nontrivial m-frame and is an n-frame of a modular lattice L with m, n ≥ 3 such that and , then these two frames have the same characteristic and, in addition, they determine a nontrivial mn-frame of the same characteristic in a canonical way, which we call the product frame.

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.     

Subdirectly irreducible \mathcal{RGC} -commutative right H-semigroups

A semigroup S is said to be ℛ-commutative if, for all elements a,b∈S, there is an element x∈S ¹ such that ab=bax. A semigroup S is called a generalized conditionally commutative (briefly, -commutative) semigroup if it satisfies the identity aba ²=a ² ba. An ℛ-commutative and -commutative semigroup is called an -commutative semigroup. A semigroup S is said to be a right H-semigroup if every right congruence of S is a congruence of S. In this paper we characterize the subdirectly irreducible semigroups in the class of -commutative right H-semigroups. Research supported by the Hungarian NFSR grant No T029525.     

Dual Wavelet Frames and Riesz Bases in Sobolev Spaces

This paper generalizes the mixed extension principle in L ₂(ℝ ^d ) of (Ron and Shen in J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 3:617–637, 1997) to a pair of dual Sobolev spaces H ^s (ℝ ^d ) and H ^−s (ℝ ^d ). In terms of masks for φ,ψ ¹,…,ψ ^L ∈H ^s (ℝ ^d ) and , simple sufficient conditions are given to ensure that (X ^s (φ;ψ ¹,…,ψ ^L ), forms a pair of dual wavelet frames in (H ^s (ℝ ^d ),H ^−s (ℝ ^d )), where

Patterns of exponential decay for solutions to second order elliptic equations in a sector ofR 2

We consider solutions ψ to equations of the form in a sector Ω ofR ². The basic assumptions are that the limitsa _ij(x)→δ_ij,b _i(x)→0,c _i→E at infinity are achieved at certain rates and thatg decays faster than ψ. We then discuss the possible patterns of exponential decay for ψ in Ω. NSERC University Research Fellow. Research partially supported by USNEF grant MCS-83-01159.     

Classification of infinitely differentiable periodic functions

The set of infinitely differentiable periodic functions is studied in terms of generalized -derivatives defined by a pair of sequences ψ ₁ and ψ ₂. In particular, we establish that every function f from the set has at least one derivative whose parameters ψ ₁ and ψ ₂ decrease faster than any power function. At the same time, for an arbitrary function f ∈ different from a trigonometric polynomial, there exists a pair ψ whose parameters ψ ₁ and ψ ₂ have the same rate of decrease and for which the -derivative no longer exists. We also obtain new criteria for 2π-periodic functions real-valued on the real axis to belong to the set of functions analytic on the axis and to the set of entire functions. Deceased. (A. I.

Vectorspacelike representation of absolute planes

The pointset E of an absolute plane can be provided with a binary operation "+" such that (E, +) becomes a loop and for each a E \ {o} the line [a] through o and a is a commutative subgroup of (E, +). Two elements a, b E \ {o} are called independent if [a] ∩ [b] = {o} and the absolute plane is called vectorspacelike if for any two independent elements we have E = [a] + [b] := {x + y | x [a], y [b]}. If is singular then (E, +) is a commutative group and is vectorspacelike iff is Euclidean. If is a hyperbolic plane then is vectorspacelike and in the continous case if a, b are independent, each point p has a unique representation as a quasilinear combination p = α · a + μ · b where α · a [a]and β · b [b] are points, α, β real numbers such that λ (o, λ · a) = |λ|· λ (o, a) and λ (o, μ · b) = |μ|. λ(o, b) and λ is the distance function.

Nondegenerate graded lie algebras with degenerate transitive subalgebras

The property of degeneration of modular graded Lie algebras, first investigated by B. Weisfeiler is analyzed. Transitive irreducible graded Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 2 with classical reductive component L ₀ are considered. We show that if a nondegenerate Lie algebra L containes a transitive degenerate subalgebra L′such that dim L′₁ > 1, then L is an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra.

Representation theory of $\mathcal{W}$-algebras

We study the representation theory of the -algebra associated with a simple Lie algebra at level k. We show that the “-” reduction functor is exact and sends an irreducible module to zero or an irreducible module at any level k∈ℂ. Moreover, we show that the character of each irreducible highest weight representation of is completely determined by that of the corresponding irreducible highest weight representation of affine Lie algebra of . As a consequence we complete (for the “-” reduction) the proof of the conjecture of E. Frenkel, V. Kac and M. Wakimoto on the existence and the construction of the modular invariant representations of -algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991)  17B68, 81R10     

Riesz multiwavelet bases generated by vector refinement equation

In this paper, we investigate compactly supported Riesz multiwavelet sequences and Riesz multiwavelet bases for L ₂(ℝ ^s ). Suppose ψ = (ψ¹,..., ψ ^r ) ^T and are two compactly supported vectors of functions in the Sobolev space (H ^μ(ℝ ^s )) ^r for some μ > 0. We provide a characterization for the sequences {ψ _jk ^l : l = 1,...,r, j ε ℤ, k ε ℤ ^s } and to form two Riesz sequences for L ₂(ℝ ^s ), where ψ _jk ^l = m ^j/2ψ ^l (M ^j ·−k) and , M is an s × s integer matrix such that lim _n→∞ M ⁻ⁿ = 0 and m = |detM|. Furthermore, let ϕ = (ϕ¹,...,ϕ ^r ) ^T and be a pair of compactly supported biorthogonal refinable vectors of functions associated with the refinement masks a, and M, where a and are finitely supported sequences of r × r matrices. We obtain a general principle for characterizing vectors of functions ψ^ν = (ψ^ν1,...,ψ^νr ) ^T and , ν = 1,..., m − 1 such that two sequences {ψ _jk ^νl : ν = 1,..., m − 1, l = 1,...,r, j ε ℤ, k ε ℤ ^s } and { : ν=1,...,m−1,ℓ=1,...,r, j ∈ ℤ, k ∈ ℤ ^s } form two Riesz multiwavelet bases for ^L ₂(ℝ ^s ). The bracket product [f, g] of two vectors of functions f, g in (L ₂(ℝ ^s )) ^r is an indispensable tool for our characterization.
