SU(d)-Biinvariant Random Walks on SL\,{\left( {d,\,\mathbb{C}} \right)} and their Euclidean Counterparts

We establish a deformation isomorphism between the algebras of -biinvariant compactly supported measures on and -conjugation invariant measures on the Euclidean space of all Hermitian -matrices with trace . This isomorphism concisely explains a close connection between the spectral problem for sums of Hermititan matrices on one hand and the singular spectral problem for products of matrices from on the other, which has recently been observed by Klyachko [13]. From this deformation we further obtain an explicit, probability preserving and isometric isomorphism between the Banach algebra of bounded -biinvariant measures on and a certain (non-invariant) subalgebra of the bounded signed measures on . We demonstrate how this probability preserving isomorphism leads to limit theorems for the singular spectrum of -biinvariant random walks on in a simple way. Our construction relies on deformations of hypergroup convolutions and will be carried out in the general setting of complex semisimple Lie groups.Margit Rösler was partially supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), project nr.

Involutions of \operatorname{{SL}} (nk), (n>2)

A first characterization of the isomorphism classes of -involutions for any reductive algebraic group defined over a perfect field was given in [7] using three invariants. In this paper we give a simple characterization of the isomorphism classes of involutions of with any field of characteristic not equal to . We classify the isomorphism classes of involutions for algebraically closed, the real numbers, the -adic numbers and finite fields. We also determine in which cases the corresponding fixed point group is -anisotropic. In those cases the corresponding symmetric -variety consists of semisimple elements.Aloysius G.

Graph von Neumann Algebras

In this paper, we will define a graph von Neumann algebra over a fixed von Neumann algebra M, where G is a countable directed graph, by a crossed product algebra = M × _α , where is the graph groupoid of G and α is the graph-representation. After defining a certain conditional expectation from onto its M-diagonal subalgebra we can see that this crossed product algebra is *-isomorphic to an amalgamated free product where = vN(M × _α where is the subset of consisting of all reduced words in {e, e ^–1} and M × _α is a W ^*-subalgebra of as a new graph von Neumann algebra induced by a graph G _e . Also, we will show that, as a Banach space, a graph von Neumann algebra is isomorphic to a Banach space ⊕ where is a certain subset of the set E(G)* of all words in the edge set E(G) of G.

On Rank Functions of Lattices

Let be a lattice of finite height. The correspondence between closure operators and ∧-subsemilattices is well known. Here we investigate what type of number-valued function is induces a ∧-subsemilattice ; and if so, what kind of . Conversely, what type of function is induced by what type of (or cl). Several results known for matroids, greedoids, or semimodular lattices are generalized.

We consider several types of nonlinear parabolic equations with singular like potential and initial data. To prove the existence-uniqueness theorems we employ regularized derivatives. As a framework we use Colombeau space and Colombeau vector space      

Sampling Theory Associated with a Symmetric Operator with Compact Resolvent and De Branges Spaces

Let be a symmetric operator with compact resolvent defined in a Hilbert space For any fixed we consider an entire function K_a which involves the resolvent of Associated with K_a we obtain, by duality in a Hilbert space of entire functions which becomes a De Branges space of entire functions. This property provides a characterization of regardless of the anti-linear mapping which has as its range space.

Numerically satisfactory solutions of Kummer recurrence relations

Pairs of numerically satisfactory solutions as for the three-term recurrence relations satisfied by the families of functions , , are given. It is proved that minimal solutions always exist, except when and z is in the positive or negative real axis, and that is minimal as whenever . The minimal solution is identified for any recurrence direction, that is, for any integer values of and . When the confluent limit , with fixed, is the main tool for identifying minimal solutions together with a connection formula; for , is the main tool to be considered.     

On an Essentially Algebraic Theory for Locally Presentable Categories

This paper presents a general construction, defining for each given strong generator in any locally finitely presentable category an essentially algebraic, finitary theory – maximal in a certain sense – such that is equivalent to the category of models of . For regular generators , generalization to the non-finitary case is easily done, and yields a new proof of the famous characterization of many-sorted quasivarieties.     

Gabor frames by sampling and periodization

By sampling the window of a Gabor frame for belonging to Feichtinger’s algebra, , one obtains a Gabor frame for . In this article we present a survey of results by R. Orr and A.J.E.M. Janssen and extend their ideas to cover interrelations among Gabor frames for the four spaces , , and . Some new results about general dual windows with respect to sampling and periodization are presented as well. This theory is used to show a new result of the Kaiblinger type to construct an approximation to the canonical dual window of a Gabor frame for .      

Special Quasigraded Lie Algebras and Integrable Hamiltonian Systems

We construct a family of special quasigraded Lie algebras of functions of one complex variables with values in finite-dimensional Lie algebra , labeled by the special 2-cocycles F on . The main property of the constructed Lie algebras is that they admit Kostant-Adler-Symes scheme. Using them we obtain new integrable finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems and new hierarchies of soliton equations.     

Chains and antichains in partial orderings

We study the complexity of infinite chains and antichains in computable partial orderings. We show that there is a computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain but none that is or , and also obtain the analogous result for antichains. On the other hand, we show that every computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain must have an infinite chain that is the difference of two sets. Our main result is that there is a computably axiomatizable theory K of partial orderings such that K has a computable model with arbitrarily long finite chains but no computable model with an infinite chain. We also prove the corresponding result for antichains. Finally, we prove that if a computable partial ordering has the feature that for every , there is an infinite chain or antichain that is relative to , then we have uniform dichotomy: either for all copies of , there is an infinite chain that is relative to , or for all copies of , there is an infinite antichain that is relative to .

A new family of maximal curves over a finite field

It has been known for a long time that the Deligne–Lusztig curves associated to the algebraic groups of type and defined over the finite field all have the maximum number of -rational points allowed by the Weil “explicit formulas”, and that these curves are -maximal curves over infinitely many algebraic extensions of . Serre showed that an -rational curve which is -covered by an -maximal curve is also -maximal. This has posed the problem of the existence of -maximal curves other than the Deligne–Lusztig curves and their -subcovers, see for instance Garcia (On curves with many rational points over finite fields. In: Finite Fields with Applications to Coding Theory, Cryptography and Related Areas, pp. 152–163. Springer, Berlin, 2002) and Garcia and Stichtenoth (A maximal curve which is not a Galois subcover of the Hermitan curve. Bull. Braz. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 37, 139–152, 2006). In this paper, a positive answer to this problem is obtained. For every q = n ³ with n = p ^r  > 2, p ≥ 2 prime, we give a simple, explicit construction of an -maximal curve that is not -covered by any -maximal Deligne–Lusztig curve. Furthermore, the -automorphism group Aut has size n ³(n ³ + 1)(n ² − 1)(n ² − n + 1). Interestingly, has a very large -automorphism group with respect to its genus .

Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules: A New Direction in the Structure Theory of Representations

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a -module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra , M is locally -finite and has finite -multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when is a Cartan subalgebra. We also review the recent determination of which reductive in subalgebras are essential to a classification. Finally, we present in detail the emerging picture for the case when is a principal 3-dimensional subalgebra.     

Partitions of large Rado graphs

Let κ be a cardinal which is measurable after generically adding many Cohen subsets to κ and let be the κ-Rado graph. We prove, for 2 ≤ m < ω, that there is a finite value such that the set [κ] ^m can be partitioned into classes such that for any coloring of any of the classes C _i in fewer than κ colors, there is a copy of in such that is monochromatic. It follows that , that is, for any coloring of with fewer than κ colors there is a copy of such that has at most colors. On the other hand, we show that there are colorings of such that if is any copy of then for all , and hence . We characterize as the cardinality of a certain finite set of types and obtain an upper and a lower bound on its value. In particular, and for m > 2 we have where r _m is the corresponding number of types for the countable Rado graph. Research of M. Džamonja and J. A.

The Extremal Truncated Moment Problem

For a degree 2n real d-dimensional multisequence to have a representing measure μ, it is necessary for the associated moment matrix to be positive semidefinite and for the algebraic variety associated to β, , to satisfy rank card as well as the following consistency condition: if a polynomial vanishes on , then . We prove that for the extremal case , positivity of and consistency are sufficient for the existence of a (unique, rank -atomic) representing measure. We also show that in the preceding result, consistency cannot always be replaced by recursiveness of .
