Spin Models and Strongly Hyper-Self-Dual Bose-Mesner Algebras

We introduce the notion of hyper-self-duality for Bose-Mesner algebras as a strengthening of formal self-duality. Let denote a Bose-Mesner algebra on a finite nonempty set X. Fix p X, and let and denote respectively the dual Bose-Mesner algebra and the Terwilliger algebra of with respect to p. By a hyper-duality of , we mean an automorphism of such that for all ; and is a duality of . is said to be hyper-self-dual whenever there exists a hyper-duality of . We say that is strongly hyper-self-dual whenever there exists a hyper-duality of which can be expressed as conjugation by an invertible element of . We show that Bose-Mesner algebras which support a spin model are strongly hyper-self-dual, and we characterize strong hyper-self-duality via the module structure of the associated Terwilliger algebra.     

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].     

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.

A Remark on a Theorem of Szegö

Let be a polynomial with complex coefficients and define, for , where ||P|| is the euclidean norm of the polynomial P. By a theorem of Szegö where is the Mahler measure of F. Recently, J. Dégot proved an effective version of this result. In this paper we sharpen Dégot's result, under the additional hypotheses that F is a square-free polynomial with integer coefficients and without reciprocal factors.

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.

The Spectrum of Lévy Constants for Quadratic Irrationalities and Class Numbers of Real Quadratic Fields

Let h(d) be the class number of the field and let be the Lévy constant. A connection between these constants is studied. It is proved that if d is large, then the value h(d) increases, roughly speaking, at the rate as grows. A similar result is obtained in the case where the value is close to , i.e., to the least possible value. In addition, it is shown that the interval contains no values of for prime p such that p 3 (mod 4). As a corollary, a new criterion for the equality h(d)=1 is obtained. Bibliography: 14 titles.     

New Proof of the Semmes Inequality for the Derivative of the Rational Function

In the open disk of the complex plane, we consider the following spaces of functions: the Bloch space ; the Hardy--Sobolev space ; and the Hardy--Besov space . It is shown that if all the poles of the rational function R of degree n, , lie in the domain , then , where and depends only on . The second of these inequalities for the case of the half-plane was obtained by Semmes in 1984. The proof given by Semmes was based on the use of Hankel operators, while our proof uses the special integral representation of rational functions.     

Extremal Decompositions of Riemann Surfaces and Quasiconformal Mappings of Special Form. II

Let be a finite Riemann surface. For a quadratic differential on associated with a certain problem on extremal decomposition of into n domains, a parametric family of quasiconformal mappings , is defined. These mappings map the domains of the extremal decomposition of onto the domains of the extremal decomposition of ._K This allows one to study the functional dependence of the problem on the parameters.

Bernstein-Type Theorems and Uniqueness Theorems

Let be an entire function of finite type with respect to finite order and let be a subset of an open cone in a certain n-dimensional subspace (the smaller , the sparser ). We assume that this cone contains a ray 0} \right\}$$ " align="middle" border="0"> . It is shown that the radial indicator of at any point may be evaluated in terms of function values at points of the discrete subset . Moreover, if tends to zero fast enough as over , then this function vanishes identically. To prove these results, a special approximation technique is developed. In the last part of the paper, it is proved that, under certain conditions on and , which are close to exact conditions, the function bounded on is bounded on the ray.

Symmetry of Sections in Fields of Formal Power Series and a Non-Standard Real Line

Let be a field of formal power series with real coefficients, whose supports are well ordered subsets of an Abelian group of cardinality strictly less than . For , we give criteria of a section being symmetric and of a symmetric section being Dedekind. It is proved that an -saturated non-standard real line is isomorphic to some field of the form . For , some consequences are inferred regarding symmetric sections, and the cofinality of banks of the sections.     

One-Dimensional Topologically Nontrivial Solutions in the Skyrme Model

We consider the Skyrme model using the explicit parameterization of the rotation group through elements of its algebra. Topologically nontrivial solutions already arise in the one-dimensional case because the fundamental group of is . We explicitly find and analyze one-dimensional static solutions. Among them, there are topologically nontrivial solutions with finite energy. We propose a new class of projective models whose target spaces are arbitrary real projective spaces .

Semisimple Lie Algebras of Differential Operators

Starting from the commutation relations in a complex semisimple Lie algebra , one may obtain a space of vector fields on Euclidean space such that and are isomorphic when is equipped with the usual Lie bracket between vector fields and the isotropy subalgebra of is a Borel subalgebra . Furthermore, one may adjoin to the vector fields in multiplication operators to obtain an -parameter family of distinct presentations of as spaces of differential operators, where is the dual of a Cartan subalgebra. Some of these presentations will preserve a space of polynomials on Euclidean space, and, in fact, all the finite-dimensional representations of can be presented in this way. All of this is carried out explicitly for arbitrary . In doing so, one discovers there is a Lie group of diffeomorphisms of the unipotent subgroup N complementary to B which acts on these presentations and preserves a certain notion of weight.
