Tissus linéaires et théorèmes d'algébrisation de type Abdel-inverse et Reiss-inverse

A d-web in ( ,0) is given by d complex analytic foliations of codimension one in ( ,0) which are in general position. A d-web in ( ,0) is linear if all the leaves are (pieces of) hyperplanes in and is algebraic if it is associated, by duality, to a nondegenerate algebraic curve in of degree d. We characterize linear webs in ( ,0). We give explicit conditions under which a linear d-web in ( ,0) is algebraic and we obtain equations for in this case. Some related problems are discussed and some questions are posed.     

Towards a Characterization of Self-Similar Tilings in Terms of Derived Voronoï Tessellations

In this paper, a technique for analyzing levels of hierarchy in a tiling of Euclidean space is presented. Fixing a central configuration P of tiles in , a `derived Voronoï' tessellation _P is constructed based on the locations of copies of P in . A family of derived Voronoï tilings is formed by allowing the central configurations to vary through an infinite number of possibilities. The family will normally be an infinite one, but we show that for a self-similar tiling it is finite up to similarity. In addition, we show that if the family is finite up to similarity, then is pseudo-self-similar. The relationship between self-similarity and pseudo-self-similarity is not well understood, and this is the obstruction to a complete characterization of self-similarity via our method. A discussion and conjecture on the connection between the two forms of hierarchy for tilings is provided.     

Sub-weakly Embedded Singular and Degenerate Polar Spaces

We show that every sub-weak embedding of any singular (degenerate or not) orthogonal or unitary polar space of non-singular rank at least 3 in a projective space PG , a commutative field, is the projection of a full embedding in some subspace PG of PG , where PG contains PG and is a subfield of . The same result is proved in the symplectic case under the assumption that the field over which the polarity is defined is perfect if the characteristic is 2 and if each secant line of the embedded polar space contains exactly two points of . This completes the classification of all sub-weak embeddings of orthogonal, symplectic and unitary polar spaces (singular or not; degenerate or not) of non-singular rank at least 3 and defined over a commutative field , where in the characteristic 2 case is perfect if the polar space is symplectic and the degree of the embedding is 2.     

Profinite and Continuous Higher K-Theory of Exact Categories, Orders, and Group Rings

Let be a rational prime, an exact category. In this article, we define and study for all , the profinite higher K-theory of , that is as well as , where is the -dimensional mod- Moore space. We study connections between and prove several -completeness results involving these and associated groups including the cases where is the category of finitely generated (resp. finitely generated projective) modules over orders in semi-simple algebras over number fields and p-adic fields. We also define and study continuous K-theory of orders in p-adic semi-simple algebras and show some connection between the profinite and continuous K-theory of .     

On Properties of Rectangular Hyperbolas

This paper improves an old theorem about a rectangular hyperbola : its centre lies on the pedal circle of any point on with respect to any triangle inscribed in . We also prove that an analogous result holds for Cevian circles. These results are used to obtain new characterisations of the Feuerbach, Jarabek, and Kiepert hyperbolas of a triangle.     

Dimension de Hausdorff de la Nervure

For a separable Hilbert space E whose dimension is 2 and for an open subset of E, not empty and different from E, let be the set of all points of which have at least two projections on the close set E\, and let be the set of all the centres of the open balls contained in and which are maximal for inclusion. We show that the Hausdorff dimension dim_H( ) of may be any real value s such that 0sdim E; we also show that can be chosen so that is everywhere dense in and so that we have dim_H( )=1.Associons à un ouvert d'un espace de Hilbert séparable E de dimension 2, non vide et distinct de E, l'ensemble des points de admettant plusieurs projections sur le fermé E\, et l'ensemble des centres des boules ouvertes inclues dans et maximales pour l'inclusion.

Eine Variante des Fano-Axioms fü angeordnete Ebenen

An ordered plane is an incidence structure ( ) with an order function , which satisfies the axioms (G), (V) and (S), but no continuation--axiom is required. Points a, b E are said to be in distinct sides of a line iff and in the same side if , respectively. For any lines , and we prove that if b,c are in the same side of line A and a,c are in the same side of B , then a and b are in distinct sides of C. As conclusions we deduce that is harmonic and that in each complete quadrangle the intersection points of the diagonals are never collinear, which is known as the axiom of Fano. So the Fano-axiom holds in each ordered plane, and also in those with boundary points.     

A Property of Purely Hyperbolic Fuchsian Groups of the Second Kind

Let G be a purely hyperbolic, finitely generated, nonelementary Fuchsian group of the second kind. If is the limit set of the group G, then the function belongs to the class BMO. This follows from the fact that is porous, proved in the paper. Bibliography: 4 titles.     

Brauer Diagrams, Updown Tableaux and Nilpotent Matrices

We interpret geometrically a variant of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence which links Brauer diagrams with updown tableaux, in the spirit of Steinberg's result [32] on the original Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Our result uses the variety of all where is a complete flag in is a nondegenerate alternating bilinear form on and N is a nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of the simultaneous stabilizer of both and instead of Steinberg's variety of where are two complete flags in and N is a nilpotent element of the Lie algebra of the simultaneous stabilizer of both .     

Foliations with One-Sided Branching

We generalize the main results from the author's paper in Geom. Topol. 4 (2000), 457–515 and from Thurston's eprint math.GT/9712268 to taut foliations with one-sided branching. First constructed by Meigniez, these foliations occupy an intermediate position between -covered foliations and arbitrary taut foliations of 3-manifolds. We show that for a taut foliation with one-sided branching of an atoroidal 3-manifold M, one can construct a pair of genuine laminations ^± of M transverse to with solid torus complementary regions which bind every leaf of in a geodesic lamination. These laminations come from a universal circle, a refinement of the universal circles proposed by Thurston (unpublished), which maps monotonely and ₁(M)-equivariantly to each of the circles at infinity of the leaves of , and is minimal with respect to this property. This circle is intimately bound up with the extrinsic geometry of the leaves of . In particular, let denote the pulled-back foliation of the universal cover, and co-orient so that the leaf space branches in the negative direction. Then for any pair of leaves of with , the leaf is asymptotic to in a dense set of directions at infinity. This is a macroscopic version of an infinitesimal result from Thurston and gives much more drastic control over the topology and geometry of , than is achieved by him. The pair of laminations ^± can be used to produce a pseudo-Anosov flow transverse to which is regulating in the nonbranching direction. Rigidity results for ^± in the -covered case are extended to the case of one-sided branching. In particular, an -covered foliation can only be deformed to a foliation with one-sided branching along one of the two laminations canonically associated to the -coveredfoliation constructed in Geom. Topol. 4 (2000), 457–515, and these laminations become exactly the laminations ^± for the new branched foliation. Other corollaries include that the ambient manifold is -hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov, and that a self-homeomorphism of this manifold homotopic to the identity is isotopic to the identity.

Let be a sequence of complex numbers such that as . For close to the imaginary axis, upper bounds of the indicator of a nonzero entire function of exponential type with minimal growth vanishing on is obtained. These bounds give sufficient conditions for the system of exponents to be incomplete in an unbounded domain in .     

On the Admissibility of Some Linear and Projective Groups in Odd Characteristic

A bijective mapping defined on a finite group G is complete if the mapping defined by , , is bijective. In 1955 M. Hall and L. J. Paige conjectured that a finite group G has a complete mapping if and only if a Sylow 2-subgroup of G is non-cyclic or trivial. This conjecture is still open. In this paper we construct a complete mapping for the projective groups PSL and PGL(2,q),q odd. As a consequence, we prove that in odd characteristic the projective groups PGL(n,q GL , admit a complete mapping.

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.     

Local Duality for Modules over Noetherian Commutative Rings

Some applications of the general theorem on the existence of local duality for modules over Noetherian commutative rings are given. Let be a Noetherian commutative ring, let be a set of maximal ideals in , and let . Then the category of Artinian modules is dual to the category of Noetherian modules. Several structural results are proved, including the theorem on the structure of Artinian modules over principal ideal domains. For rings of special kinds, double centralizer theorems are proved.
