The Torsion Theory Generated by <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>-Small Modules

Let M be a right R-module, the class of all M-small modules, and P a projective cover of M in [M]. We consider the torsion theories = ( ), = ( ), and = ( ) in [M], where is the torsion theory generated by is the torsion theory cogenerated by , and is the dual Lambek torsion theory. We study some conditions for to be cohereditary, stable, or split, and prove that Rej(M, ) = M = (= = ) = Gen_M(P) .2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16S90     

The existence of Silnikov’s orbits in one coupled duffing

The existence of Silnikov’s orbits in one coupled Duffing equation is discussed by using the fiber structure of invariant manifold and high-dimensional Melnikov’s method. Example and numerical simulation results are also given to demonstrate the theoretical analysis.     

Semi-free Hamiltonian circle actions on 6-dimensional symplectic manifolds

Assume is a connected, compact 6-dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a semi-free Hamiltonian circle action, such that the fixed point set consists of isolated points or compact orientable surfaces. We restrict attention to the case . We give a complete list of the possible manifolds, and determine their equivariant cohomology rings and equivariant Chern classes. Some of these manifolds are classified up to diffeomorphism. We also show the existence for a few cases.

     

Maximal complexifications of certain homogeneous Riemannian manifolds

Let be a homogeneous Riemannian manifold with , where denotes the universal complexification of . Under certain extensibility assumptions on the geodesic flow of , we give a characterization of the maximal domain of definition in for the adapted complex structure and show that it is unique. For instance, this can be done for generalized Heisenberg groups and naturally reductive homogeneous Riemannian spaces. As an application it is shown that the case of generalized Heisenberg groups yields examples of maximal domains of definition for the adapted complex structure which are neither holomorphically separable nor holomorphically convex.

     

Nematic Structure of Space-Time and Its Topological Defects in 5D Kaluza-Klein Theory

We show, that classical Kaluza-Klein theory possesses hidden nematic dynamics. It appears as a consequence of 1+4-decomposition procedure, involving 4D observers 1-form . After extracting of boundary terms the, so called, effective matter part of 5D geometrical action becomes proportional to the square of the anholonomicity 3-form d. It can be interpreted as twist nematic elastic energy, responsible for elastic reaction of 5D space-time on presence of anholonomic 4D submanifold, defined by . We derive both 5D covariant and 1+4 forms of the 5D nematic equilibrium equations, consider simple examples and discuss some 4D physical aspects of generic 5D nematic topological defects.     

A Low Complexity Lie Group Method on the Stiefel Manifold

A low complexity Lie group method for numerical integration of ordinary differential equations on the orthogonal Stiefel manifold is presented. Based on the quotient space representation of the Stiefel manifold we provide a representation of the tangent space suitable for Lie group methods. According to this representation a special type of generalized polar coordinates (GPC) is defined and used as a coordinate map. The GPC maps prove to adapt well to the Stiefel manifold. For the n×k matrix representation of the Stiefel manifold the arithmetic complexity of the method presented is of order nk ², and for nk this leads to huge savings in computation time compared to ordinary Lie group methods. Numerical experiments compare the method to a standard Lie group method using the matrix exponential, and conclude that on the examples presented, the methods perform equally on both accuracy and maintaining orthogonality.

Finite-Order Formulation of Vinogradov's C-Spectral Sequence

The C-spectral sequence was introduced by A. M. Vinogradov in the late Seventies as a fundamental tool for the study of the algebro-geometric properties of jet spaces and differential equations. A spectral sequence arises from the contact filtration of the modules of forms on jet spaces of a fibring (or on a differential equation). In order to avoid serious technical difficulties, the order of the jet space is not fixed, i.e., computations are performed on spaces containing forms on jet spaces of any order. In this paper we show that there exists a formulation of Vinogradov's C-spectral sequence in the case of finite-order jet spaces of a fibred manifold. We compute all cohomology groups of the finite-order C-spectral sequence. We obtain a finite-order variational sequence which is shown to be naturally isomorphic with Krupka's finite-order variational sequence.     

CR Submanifolds of Maximal CR Dimension in a Complex Hopf Manifold

We study CR submanifolds M in a Hopf manifold (C H ^N (), J ₀, g ₀) with the Boothby metric g ₀,of maximal CR dimension. Any such M is a CR manifold ofhypersurface type, although embedded in higher codimension, and itsanti-invariant distribution H(M) is spanned by a unit vectorfield U. We classify the CR submanifolds M for which = –J ₀ Uis parallel in the normal bundle under assumptions on thespectrum of the Weingarten operator a . We show that (1) ifa (U) = (1/2)A (where A is the anti-Lee vector) andM fibres in tori over a CR submanifold of the complex projectivespace, then M lies on the (total space of the) pullback of the Hopf fibration via S C P ^{N – 1}, for some geodesic hypersphere S, and (2) if a (U)= 0 and Spec(a ) = {0, c}, for some c R {0}, then M is locally a Riemannian product of totally geodesicsubmanifolds.
