Uniform bounds on the number of rational points of a family of curves of genus 2

We exhibit a genus-2 curve defined over which admits two independent morphisms to a rank-1 elliptic curve defined over . We describe completely the set of -rational points of the curve and obtain a uniform bound on the number of -rational points of a rational specialization of the curve for a certain (possibly infinite) set of values . Furthermore, for this set of values we describe completely the set of -rational points of the curve . Finally, we show how these results can be strengthened assuming a height conjecture of Lang.     

Polynomial identities and noncommutative versal torsors

To any cleft Hopf Galois object, i.e., any algebra obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its multiplication with a two-cocycle α, we attach two “universal algebras” and . The algebra is obtained by twisting the multiplication of H with the most general two-cocycle σ formally cohomologous to α. The cocycle σ takes values in the field of rational functions on H. By construction, is a cleft H-Galois extension of a “big” commutative algebra . Any “form” of can be obtained from by a specialization of and vice versa. If the algebra is simple, then is an Azumaya algebra with center . The algebra is constructed using a general theory of polynomial identities that we set up for arbitrary comodule algebras; it is the universal comodule algebra in which all comodule algebra identities of are satisfied. We construct an embedding of into ; this embedding maps the center of into when the algebra is simple. In this case, under an additional assumption, , thus turning into a central localization of . We completely work out these constructions in the case of the four-dimensional Sweedler algebra.     

Properties of cyclic subspace regression

Various properties of the regression vector produced by cyclic subspace regression with regard to the meancentered linear regression equation are put forth. In particular, the subspace associated with the creation of is shown to contain a basis that maximizes certain covariances with respect to , the orthogonal projection of onto a specific subspace of the range of X. This basis is constructed. Moreover, this paper shows how the maximum covariance values effect the . Several alternative representations of are also developed. These representations show that is a modified version of the l-factor principal components regression vector , with the modification occurring by a nonorthogonal projection. Additionally, these representations enable prediction properties associated with to be explicitly identified. Finally, methods for choosing factors are spelled out.     

Equivariant chain complexes, twisted homology and relative minimality of arrangements

We show that the π-equivariant chain complex (), , associated to a Morse-theoretic minimal CW-structure X on the complement of an arrangement , is independent of X. The same holds for all scalar extensions, , a field, where X is an arbitrary minimal CW-structure on a space M. When is a section of another arrangement , we show that the divisibility properties of the first Betti number of the Milnor fiber of  obstruct the homotopy realization of  as a subcomplex of a minimal structure on .If is aspherical and is a sufficiently generic section of , then may be described in terms of π, L and , for an arbitrary local system L; explicit computations may be done, when is fiber-type. In this case, explicit -presentations of arbitrary abelian scalar extensions of the first non-trivial higher homotopy group of , π_p(M), may also be obtained. For nonresonant abelian scalar extensions, the -rank of is combinatorially determined.     

A note on maximality of analytic crossed products

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .     

Geodesic currents and Teichmüller space

Consider a hyperbolic surface X of infinite area. The Liouville map assigns to any quasiconformal deformation of X a measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering X? of X. We show that the Liouville map is a homeomorphism from the Teichmüller space onto its image, and that the image is closed and unbounded. The set of asymptotic rays to consists of all bounded measured laminations on X. Hence, the set of projective bounded measured laminations is a natural boundary for . The action of the quasiconformal mapping class group on continuously extends to this boundary for .     

Functor category dualities for varieties of Heyting algebras

Let be a finitely generated variety of Heyting algebras and let be the class of subdirectly irreducible algebras in . We prove that is dually equivalent to a category of functors from into the category of Boolean spaces. The main tool is the theory of multisorted natural dualities.
