In this note we show that B-scrolls over null curves in a 3-dimensional Lorentzian space form are characterized as the only ruled surfaces with null rulings whose Gauss maps G satisfy the condition being a parallel endomorphism of .     

Determinants of Matrices Associated with Incidence Functions on Posets

Let S = x ₁,...,x _n} be a finite subset of a partially ordered set P. Let f be an incidence function of P. Let denote the n × n matrix having f evaluated at the meet of x _i and x _j as its i, j-entry and denote the n × n matrix having f evaluated at the join of x _i and x _j as its i, j-entry. The set S is said to be meet-closed if for all 1 i, j n. In this paper we get explicit combinatorial formulas for the determinants of matrices and on any meet-closed set S. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the matrices and on any meet-closed set S to be nonsingular. Finally, we give some number-theoretic applications.     

On the Best Ranges for A p + and RH r +

In this paper we study the relationship between one-sided reverse Holder classes and the classes. We find the best possible range of to which an weight belongs, in terms of the constant. Conversely, we also find the best range of to which a weight belongs, in terms of the constant. Similar problems for , and are solved using factorization.

On posets with isomorphic interval posets

Let be a partially ordered set, Int the system of all (nonempty) intervals of partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion . We are interested in partially ordered sets with Int isomorphic to Int . We are going to show that they correspond to couples of binary relations on A satisfying some conditions. If is a directed partially ordered set, the only with Int isomorphic to Int are corresponding to direct decompositions of ( denotes the dual of . The present results include those presented in the paper [11] by V. Slavík. Systems of intervals, particularly of lattices, have been investigated by many authors, cf. [1]–[11].     

Almost periodic compactifications of group extensions

Let and be groups and let be an extension of by . Given a property of group compactifications, one can ask whether there exist compactifications and of N and K such that the universal -compactification of G is canonically isomorphic to an extension of by . We prove a theorem which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for this to occur for general properties and then apply this result to the almost periodic and weakly almost periodic compactifications of G.     

Basic subgroups in abelian group rings

Suppose is a commutative ring with identity of prime characteristic and is an arbitrary abelian -group. In the present paper, a basic subgroup and a lower basic subgroup of the -component and of the factor-group of the unit group in the modular group algebra are established, in the case when is weakly perfect. Moreover, a lower basic subgroup and a basic subgroup of the normed -component and of the quotient group are given when is perfect and is arbitrary whose is -divisible. These results extend and generalize a result due to Nachev (1996) published in Houston J. Math., when the ring is perfect and is -primary. Some other applications in this direction are also obtained for the direct factor problem and for a kind of an arbitrary basic subgroup.     

Problems on Extremal Decomposition of the Riemann Sphere

We apply a variant of the method of the extremal metric to some problems concerning extremal decompositions and related problems. Let be a system of distinct points on and let be the family of all systems of nonoverlapping simply connected domains on such that . Let

Domination in generalized Petersen graphs

Generalized Petersen graphs are certain graphs consisting of one quadratic factor. For these graphs some numerical invariants concerning the domination are studied, namely the domatic number , the total domatic number and the -ply domatic number for and . Some exact values and some inequalities are stated.

Here and A is a model operator acting in . Criterial conditions on the parameter for the eigenfunctions of the operator to form a complete and minimal system as well as a Riesz basis in the Hilbert space H are given.     

Light paths with an odd number of vertices in polyhedral maps

Let P _k be a path on k vertices. In an earlier paper we have proved that each polyhedral map G on any compact 2-manifold with Euler characteristic contains a path P _k such that each vertex of this path has, in G, degree . Moreover, this bound is attained for k = 1 or k 2, k even. In this paper we prove that for each odd , this bound is the best possible on infinitely many compact 2-manifolds, but on infinitely many other compact 2-manifolds the upper bound can be lowered to .     

Temperature-Dependence of Equilibrium States of a Two-Phase Elastic Medium with the Zero Surface Tension Coefficient

We consider the energy functional of a two-phase elastic medium with quadratic energy densities defined for such that ,where is a measurable characteristic function. Under some natural conditions on the data of the problem, we prove the existence of an interval (t ^-,t ⁺) of the change of temperature such that the energy functional has only a minimizer such that for or such that t^ + $$ " align="middle" border="0"> . The energy functional has no minimizers such that or if . We derive two-sided estimates for the numbers in terms of the characteristics of the two-phase elastic medium and the boundary condition.

The number N of rational points on an algebraic curve of genus g over a finite field satisfies the Hasse–Weil bound . A curve that attains this bound is called maximal. With and , it is known that maximalcurves have . Maximal curves with have been characterized up to isomorphism. A natural genus to be studied is and for this genus there are two non-isomorphic maximal curves known when . Here, a maximal curve with genus g ₂ and a non-singular plane model is characterized as a Fermat curve of degree .     

Some Generalizations of the Notion of Length

Two numerical characteristics of a nonrectifiable arc generalizing the notion of length are introduced. Geometrically, this notion can naturally be generalized as the least upper bound of the sums , where are the lengths of segments of a polygonal line inscribed in the curve and is a given function. On the other hand, the length of is the norm of the functional in the space ; its norms in other spaces can be considered as analytical generalizations of length. In this paper, we establish conditions under which the generalized geometric rectifiability of a curve implies its generalized analytic rectifiability.     

On Complete Arcs Arising from Plane Curves

We point out an interplay between -Frobenius non-classical plane curves and complete -arcs in . A typical example that shows how this works is the one concerning an Hermitian curve. We present some other examples here which give rise to the existence of new complete -arcs with parameters and being a power of the characteristic. In addition, for q a square, new complete -arcs with either and or and are constructed by using certain reducible plane curves.

Let C be the extended complex plane; G C a finite Jordan with 0 G; w= (z) the conformal mapping of G onto the disk normalized by . Let us set , and let be the generalized Bieberbach polynomial of degree n for the pair (G,0), which minimizes the integral in the class of all polynomials of degree not exceeding n with . In this paper we study the uniform convergence of the generalized Bieberbach polynomials with interior and exterior zero angles and determine its dependence on the properties of boundary arcs and the degree of their tangency.     

Cotangent Bundle over Projective Space and the Manifold of Nondegenerate Null-Pairs

A nondegenerate null-pair of the real projective space consists of a point and of a hyperplane nonincident to this point. The manifold of all nondegenerate null-pairs carries a natural Kählerian structure of hyperbolic type and of constant nonzero holomorphic sectional curvature. In particular, is a symplectic manifold. We prove that is endowed with the structure of a fiber bundle over the projective space , whose typical fiber is an affine space. The vector space associated to a fiber of the bundle is naturally isomorphic to the cotangent space to . We also construct a global section of this bundle; this allows us to construct a diffeomorphism between the manifold of nondegenerate null-pairs and the cotangent bundle over the projective space. The main statement of the paper asserts that the explicit diffeomorphism is a symplectomorphism of the natural symplectic structure on to the canonical symplectic structure on .
