The dispersion of the Hammersley Sequence in the unit square

The notion of dispersion, a measure of denseness of sequences, plays an important role in quasi-Monte Carlo optimization. In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the dispersion of an important low dispersion sequence, namely the Hammersley Sequence in the unit square. The dispersiond _M of theM points of this sequence, whereM=2^N withN a positive integer is given by $$d_M = \frac{{\sqrt {2M - 2\sqrt M + 1} }}{M},if N is even, d_M = \frac{{\sqrt {\left( {5/2} \right)M - \sqrt {8M} + 1} }}{M},if N is odd.$$ .     

The normalizer of the automorphism group of a module arising under extension of the base ring

Let Λ te an arbitrary associative ring with unity and let R be its unital subring contained in the center of Λ. Further, let M=λ M be a left free Λ-module of finite rank. In this paper, the normalizer of the subgroupAut(λM) of automorphisms of the module λM in the groupAut(_RM) of automorphisms of the module_RM is computed. If the ring Λ is additively generated by its invertible elements, then the above normalizer coincides with the semidirect product of the normal subgroupAut(λM) and a subgroup isomorphic to the groupAut(Λ/R) of all ring automorphisms of the ring Λ that are identical on R.

On the spectrum and the geometry of a spherical space form II

In this paper certain relations between the numerical coefficients of the Poisson formula of Part I and geometrical data of a spherical space form M, dim M = 2m+1 are investigated. The results yield an explicit relation between the spectrum of M and the Poincaré map of certain closed geodesics of M. Furthermore, explicit formulas for the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian of M are derived by means of the Poisson formula. At the end of the paper the information about M is examined which is contained in a finite part of spec(M). A partial answer is given in the Corollaries 3 and 6.     

Spectral theory, Hausdorff dimension and the topology of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Let M be a compact 3-manifold whose interior admits a complete hyperbolic structure. We let Λ(M) be the supremum of λ₀(N) where N varies over all hyperbolic 3-manifolds homeomorphic to the interior of N. Similarly, we let D(M) be the infimum of the Hausdorff dimensions of limit sets of Kleinian groups whose quotients are homeomorphic to the interior of M. We observe that A(M) = D(M)(2 − D(M)) if M is not handlebody or a thickened torus. We characterize exactly when A(M) = 1 and D(M) = 1 in terms of the characteristic submanifold of the incompressible core of M.

A Note on the Set of Periods of Transversal Homological Sphere Self-maps

Let M be a n -dimensional manifold with the same homology than the n -dimensional sphere. A C 1 map f : M M M is called transversal if for all m ] N the graph of f m intersects transversally the diagonal of M 2 M at each point ( x , x ) such that x is a fixed point of f m . We study the minimal set of periods of f by using the Lefschetz numbers for periodic points. In the particular case that n is even, we also study the set of periods for the transversal holomorphic self-maps of M .     

Enveloping Algebras of the Nilpotent Malcev Algebra of Dimension Five

Pérez-Izquierdo and Shestakov recently extended the PBW theorem to Malcev algebras. It follows from their construction that for any Malcev algebra M over a field of characteristic ≠ 2, 3 there is a representation of the universal nonassociative enveloping algebra U(M) by linear operators on the polynomial algebra P(M). For the nilpotent non-Lie Malcev algebra \(\mathbb{M}\) of dimension 5, we use this representation to determine explicit structure constants for \(U(\mathbb{M})\); from this it follows that \(U(\mathbb{M})\) is not power-associative. We obtain a finite set of generators for the alternator ideal \(I(\mathbb{M}) \subset U(\mathbb{M})\) and derive structure constants for the universal alternative enveloping algebra \(A(\mathbb{M}) = U(\mathbb{M})/I(\mathbb{M})\), a new infinite dimensional alternative algebra. We verify that the map \(\iota\colon \mathbb{M} \to A(\mathbb{M})\) is injective, and so \(\mathbb{M}\) is special.     

Stable bundles and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian

In this article we study the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a compact manifold using stable bundles and balanced bases. Our main result is the following: Let M be a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension n and E a holomorphic vector bundle of rank r over M. If E is globally generated and its Gieseker point T_e is stable, then for any Kähler metric g on M\(\lambda _1 (M,g) \leqslant \frac{{4\pi h^0 (E)}}{{r(h^0 (E) - r)}} \cdot \frac{{\left\langle {C_1 (E) \cup [\omega ]^{n - 1} ,[M]} \right\rangle }}{{(n - 1)!vol(M,[\omega ])}}\) where ω = ω_g is the Kähler form associated to g.By this method we obtain, for example, a sharp upper bound for λ₁ of Kähler metrics on complex Grassmannians.

The Weyl functional near the Yamabe invariant

For a compact manifold M ofdim M=n≥4, we study two conformal invariants of a conformal class C on M. These are the Yamabe constant Y_C(M) and the L^n/2-norm W_C(M) of the Weyl curvature. We prove that for any manifold M there exists a conformal class C such that the Yamabe constant Y_C(M) is arbitrarily close to the Yamabe invariant Y(M), and, at the same time, the constant W_C(M) is arbitrarily large. We study the image of the mapYW:C→(Y_C(M), W_C(M))∈R ² near the line {(Y(M), w)|w∈R}. We also apply our results to certain classes of 4-manifolds, in particular, minimal compact Kähler surfaces of Kodaira dimension 0, 1 or 2.

The smoothness of the free boundary for a class of vector-valued problems

We consider a minimizer u: Rⁿ Ω→ⁿ of Dirichlet's integral under the additional side condition In(.) ? M for a smooth domain M?R^N. Imposing certain geometric conditions on M we show that the coincidence set {x?Ω: u(x) ? ?M) is of locally finite perimeter in Ω. Moreover, we formulate a condition implying the regularity of the free boundary near a given point.

Joint continuity of multiplication on the dual of the left uniformly continuous functions

Let G be a locally compact group and LUC(G) the C*-algebra of the bounded left uniformly continuous functions on G. The spectrum G ^LUC of LUC(G) is the universal semigroup compactification of G with respect to the joint continuity property: the multiplication on G×G ^LUC is jointly continuous. The paper studies the joint weak* continuity of multiplication on LUC(G)^* and, in particular, the question how the joint continuity property of G ^LUC can be related to a property concerning the whole algebra LUC(G)^*. The group G is naturally replaced by the measure algebra M(G), and LUC(G)^* can be identified with M(G ^LUC), the space of regular Borel measures on G ^LUC. It is shown that the joint weak* continuity can fail even on bounded sets of M(G)×M(G ^LUC), but, on the other hand, the multiplication on M(G)×M(G ^LUC) is positive continuous in the sense of Jewett.     

Bounding the number of bases of a matroid

Letb(M) andc(M), respectively, be the number of bases and circuits of a matroidM. For any given minor closed class? of matroids, the following two questions, are investigated in this paper. (1) When is there a polynomial functionp(x) such thatb(M)≤p(c(m)|E(M)|) for every matroidM in?? (2) When is there a polynomial functionp(x) such thatb(M)≤p(|E(M)|) for every matroidM in?? Let us denote byM _Mn the direct sum ofn copies ofU _1,2. We prove that the answer to the first question is affirmative if and only if someM _Mn is not in?. Furthermore, if all the members of? are representable over a fixed finite field, then we prove that the answer to the second question is affirmative if and only if, also, someM _Mn is not in?.

Canonical decomposition of projective and affine killing vectors on the tangent bundle

For an affine connection on the tangent bundle T(M) obtained by lifting an affine connection on M, the structure of vector fields on T(M) which generate local one-parameter groups of projective and affine collineations is described. On the T(M) of a complete irreducible Riemann manifold, every projective collineation is affine. On the T(M) of a projectively Euclidean space, every affine collineation preserves the fibration of T(M), and on the T(M) of a projectively non-Duclidean space which is maximally homogeneous (in the sense of affine collineations) there exist affine collineations permuting the fibers of T(M).Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 247–258, February, 1976.

Some results on the annihilators and attached primes of local cohomology modules

Let \((R, \mathfrak {m})\) be a local ring and M a finitely generated R-module. It is shown that if M is relative Cohen–Macaulay with respect to an ideal \(\mathfrak {a}\) of R, then \({\text {Ann}}_R(H_{\mathfrak {a}}^{{\text {cd}}(\mathfrak {a}, M)}(M))={\text {Ann}}_RM/L={\text {Ann}}_RM\) and \({\text {Ass}}_R (R/{\text {Ann}}_RM)\subseteq \{\mathfrak {p}\in {\text {Ass}}_R M|\,\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, R/\mathfrak {p})={\text {cd}}(\mathfrak {a}, M)\},\) where L is the largest submodule of M such that \(\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, L)< \mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, M)\). We also show that if \(H^{\dim M}_{\mathfrak {a}}(M)=0\), then \({\text {Att}}_R(H^{\dim M-1}_{\mathfrak {a}}(M))= \{\mathfrak {p}\in {\text {Supp}}(M)|\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, R/\mathfrak {p})=\dim M-1\},\) and so the attached primes of \(H^{\dim M-1}_{\mathfrak {a}}(M)\) depend only on \({\text {Supp}}(M)\). Finally, we prove that if M is an arbitrary module (not necessarily finitely generated) over a Noetherian ring R with \(\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, M)=\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, R/{\text {Ann}}_RM)\), then \({\text {Att}}_R(H^{\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, M)}_{\mathfrak {a}}(M))\subseteq \{\mathfrak {p}\in {\text {V}}({\text {Ann}}_RM)|\,\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, R/\mathfrak {p})=\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, M)\}.\) As a consequence of this, it is shown that if \(\dim M=\dim R\), then \({\text {Att}}_R(H^{\dim M}_{\mathfrak {a}}(M))\subseteq \{\mathfrak {p}\in {\text {Ass}}_R M|\mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak {a}, R/\mathfrak {p})=\dim M\}\).
