Dominated, diagonal polynomials on ℓ p spaces

We show that the r-dominated polynomials on _p(2 p ) are integral on ₁, and give examples proving that the converse is not true. We characterize when the 2-homogeneous, diagonal polynomials on _p(1 < p ) are r-dominated. We prove that, unlike the linear case, there are nuclear polynomials which are not 1-dominated.Received: 6 June 2004; revised: 28 September 2004     

A separation theorem for semicontinuous functions on preordered topological spaces

Suppose that X is a topological space with preorder , and that –g, f are bounded upper semicontinuous functions on X such that g(x) f(y) whenever x y. We consider the question whether there exists a bounded increasing continuous function h on X such that g h f, and obtain an existence theorem that gives necessary and sufficient conditions. This result leads to an extension theorem giving conditions that allow a bounded increasing continuous function defined on an open subset of X to be extended to a function of the same type on X. The application of these results to extremally disconnected locally compact spaces is studied.Received: 26 May 2004     

Variants of recognition problems for modular forms

We consider the problem of distinguishing two modular forms, or two elliptic curves, by looking at the coefficients of their L-functions for small primes (compared to their conductor). Using analytic methods based on large-sieve type inequalities we give various upper bounds on the number of forms having the first few coefficients equal to those of a fixed one. In addition, we consider similar questions of recognizing symmetric squares and CM forms from the behavior of small primes.Received: 30 August 2004     

The 2-primary torsion on elliptic curves in the Z p -extensions of Q

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q and p a prime number. Denote by Q_p,∞ the Z_p-extension of Q. In this paper, we show that if p≠3, then where E(Q_p,∞)₍₂₎ is the 2-primary part of the group E(Q_p,∞) of Q_p,∞-rational points on E. More precisely, in case p=2, we completely classify E(Q_2,∞)₍₂₎ in terms of E(Q)₍₂₎; in case p≥5 (or in case p=3 and E(Q)₍₂₎≠{O}), we show that E(Q_p,∞)₍₂₎=E(Q)₍₂₎.     

Singular Perturbation Theory for a Class of Fredholm Integral Equations Arising in Random Fields Estimation Theory

A basic integral equation of random fields estimation theory by the criterion of minimum of variance of the estimation error is of the form Rh = f, where and R(x, y) is a covariance function.The singular perturbation problem we study consists of finding the asymptotic behavior of the solution to the equation as 0.$$" align="middle" border="0"> The domain D can be an interval or a domain in Rⁿ, n > 1. The class of operators R is defined by the class of their kernels R(x,y) which solve the equation Q(x, D_x)R(x, y) = P(x, D_x)δ(x − y), where Q(x, D_x) and Px, D_x) are elliptic differential operators.     

Image of the Spectral Measure of a Jacobi Field and the Corresponding Operators

By definition, a Jacobi field is a family of commuting selfadjoint three-diagonal operators in the Fock space The operators J(ϕ) are indexed by the vectors of a real Hilbert space H₊. The spectral measure ρ of the field J is defined on the space H₋ of functionals over H₊. The image of the measure ρ under a mapping is a probability measure ρ_K on T₋. We obtain a family J_K of operators whose spectral measure is equal to ρ_K. We also obtain the chaotic decomposition for the space L²(T₋, d_{ρ K}).     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> estimates for the uniform norm of solutions of quasilinear SPDE's

In this paper we prove L^p estimates (p≥2) for the uniform norm of the paths of solutions of quasilinear stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) of parabolic type. Our method is based on a version of Moser's iteration scheme developed by Aronson and Serrin in the context of non-linear parabolic PDE.     

Symmetric functions and the centre of the Ringel-Hall algebra of a cyclic quiver

We obtain explicit generators for the centre of the Ringel-Hall algebra of a cyclic quiver and define a canonical algebra monomorphism from Macdonald's ring of symmetric functions to the centre, which furthermore respects the comultiplication and the symmetric bilinear form.

On the category of modules of Gorenstein dimension zero

Let R be a commutative noetherian henselian non-Gorenstein local ring of depth zero. Denote by modR the category of all finitely generated R-modules, and by the full subcategory of modR consisting of all R-modules of Gorenstein dimension zero. We prove in this paper that if contains a non-free module, then it is not precovering in modR, in particular, there exist infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable R-modules of Gorenstein dimension zero.
