High-Energy Relations Between Elastic Scattering Amplitudes of Particles and Antiparticles

We find conditions under which the ratio of particle and antiparticle total scattering cross sections as s. If the forward elastic scattering amplitudes become purely real asymptotically, then their ratio tends to –1. We prove that /_–(s)1 for ₊(s)/m ², where m is the -meson mass. We show that the asymptotic relations obtained have finite-energy analogues for some processes.     

The question of A*-summability of double trigonometric Fourier series

It is proved that for anyf(x, y) L(R), where R=[-,,-, ], a function (x, y), exists such that ¦(x, y) ¦=¦f(x, y) ¦ for almost all (x, y) R. The Fourier series of the function (x, y) and all conjugate trigonometric series are A^*-summable almost everywhere.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 145–150, February, 1972.

L 2-approximation by the translates of a function and related attenuation factors

Summary Let be thek-dimensional subspace spanned by the translates (·–2j/k),j=0, 1, ...,k–1, of a continuous, piecewise smooth, complexvalued, 2-periodic function . For a given functionfL ²(–, ), its least squares approximantS _kf from can be expressed in terms of an orthonormal basis. Iff is continuous,S _kf can be computed via its discrete analogue by fast Fourier transform. The discrete least squares approximant is used to approximate Fourier coefficients, and this complements the works of Gautschi on attenuation factors. Examples of include the space of trigonometric polynomials where is the de la Valleé Poussin kernel, algebraic polynomial splines where is the periodic B-spline, and trigonometric polynomial splines where is the trigonometric B-spline.     

Some mildly wild circles in Sn arising from algebraic K-Theory

We study wild embeddings of S ¹ in S ⁿ which are tame in a sense introduced by Quinn. We show that if is a finitely presented group with H ₁()=H ₂()=0, then any finiteness obstruction K ₀() can be realized on the complement of such an embedded S ¹. We also realize trivially symmetric K _–1() obstructions on the complements of such embeddings. For trivially symmetric , the embeddings constructed are shown to be isotopy homogeneous.     

Lifting-Probleme für Vektorfunktionen und ⊗-Sequenzen

In this article the topologically exact sequences of locally convex spaces are characterized for which for every locally convex space F the map id : FE F Q is a homomorphism, or equivalently, the map id L : FK F E is a topological injection. This is motivated by the problem of lifting Q-valued functions with certain given properties to E-valued functions with the same or slightly weaker properties, which may also be considered as the investigation of parameter dependences of solutions of linear (differential) equations. Applications to partial differential equations and to Fredholm functions are given.     

Mappings that preserve cones in Lobachevskii space

Let ⁿ be n-dimensional Lobachevskii space, and {l_x:x ⁿ} be a family of lines, parallel to a linel ₀, 0ⁿ (in a given direction). Let {c_x:Xⁿ} be a family of circular cones in ⁿ of opening with axes l_X and vertex X. Then, iff:ⁿⁿ(n>2) is a bijective mapping andf(C_x)=C _f(x), it follows thatf is a motion in the space ⁿ.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 13, No. 5, pp. 687–694, May, 1973.     

An initial-boundary value problem for the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates

We consider the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates with both x and t in [0, ). We assume that u(x, 0), u_t(x, 0), u(0, t) are given, and that they satisfy u(x, 0)2q, u_t(x, 0)0, for large x, u(0, t)2p for large t, where q, p are integers. We also assume that u_x(x, 0), u_t(x, 0), u_t(0, t), u(0, t)-2p, u(x, 0)-2q L₂. We show that the solution of this initial-boundary value problem can be reduced to solving a linear integral equation which is always solvable. The asymptotic analysis of this integral equation for large t shows how the boundary conditions can generate solitons.The authors dedicate this paper to the memory of M. C.

Let and be positive increasing convex functions defined on [0, ). Suppose satisfies the 2-condition, that is, (t)2 (C1t) for sufficiently large t, and has some nice properties. If -1(u)log(u+1) C2-1(u) for sufficiently large uthen we have S*(f) L CfL for all f L ([-, ])where S*(f) is the majorant function of partial sums of trigonometric Fourier series and fL is the Orlicz norm of f. This result is sharp.

Let XS be a holomorphic map, and let RX×SX be an equivalence relation. The restriction of R to the fibre ^–1(S) is denoted by R_s. The quotient X/R is called a relative complex quotient, if the quotient map XX/R is holomorphic over S. Two cases are studied: (C) All fibres of are locally R_s-separable (relative Cartan quotient); (R) All fibres of are holomorphically convex, and R_s is given by tke holomorphic functions on ^–1 (s) (relative Remmert quotient).     

Isolated points in duals of certain locally compact groups

Summary LetG be a separable locally compact group with dual space. consists of all equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations ofG, and is endowed with the Fell-topology. We study the topological properties in of the square-integrable representations ofG.

(All groups with a compact invariant neighborhood of the identity, [IN] groups, satisfy this condition.) In this case we show that if is square-integrable then {} is an open point of.Finally, our techniques are used to prove this result for arbitrary (non connected) nilpotent Lie groups.

Classes caractéristiques d''une π-algèbre et suite spectrale en K-théorie bivariante

Résumé Pour tout groupe discret et pour toute -algèbre D, la C ^*-algèbre D(E) (dont la définition exacte est donnée dans la section 4) est la version équivariante de la C ^*-algèbre C(B, D) des fonctions continues sur B, le classifiant du groupe, à valeurs dans D et qui s'annulent à l'infini. Si D désigne une autre -algèbre, nous définissons une suite spectrale en K-théorie bivariante dont les premiers termes sont donnés par les groupes H ^p (B, KK(D, D)) et qui converge (lorsque B est de dimension finie) vers KK(B; D(E), D(E)). Cette suite spectrale généralise celle de Kasparov mais est obtenue de manière différente: en étendant la définition des quasihomomorphismes aux C(X)-algèbres (X est une espace topologique localement compact), on a recours à des méthodes homotopiques telles les décompositions de Postnikov et le calcul des groupes d'homotopie des espaces d'équivalences d'homotopie. Sous certaines hypothèses, ces mÊmes constructions nous permettent de définir, pour toute -algèbre D, une obstruction, appelée classe secondaire de la -algèbre D, qui détermine la différentielle d ₂ de la suite spectrale de Kasparov.

---

For all discrete group and all -algebra D, the C ⁺-algebra D(E) (whose exact definition is given in Section 4) is the equivariant version of the C ^*-algebra C(B, D) of continuous functions from B (the classifiant of the group) to D, vanishing at infinity. If D is another -algebra, we define a spectral sequence in bivariant K-theory whose first terms are given by the groups H ^p (B, KK(D, D)) and which converges (if B of finite dimension) to KK(B; D(E), D(E)). This spectral sequence generalises the spectral sequence given by Kasparov but it is obtained in a quite different way: by extending the definition of quasihomomorphisms to the C(X)-algebras (where X is a locally compact topological space), we use homotopical methods, like Postnikov decompositions and the calculus of homotopy groups of spaces of homotopy equivalences. Furthermore, under certain hypotheses, with these constructions, we define an obstruction, called the secondary class of the -algebra D, which determines the differential d ₂ of the Kasparov spectral sequence.

     

Range of the posterior probability of an interval for priors with unimodality preserving contaminations

Range of the posterior probability of an interval over the -contamination class ={=(1–)₀+q:qQ} is derived. Here, ₀ is the elicited prior which is assumed unimodal, is the amount of uncertainty in ₀, andQ is the set of all probability densitiesq for which =(1–)₀+q is unimodal with the same mode as that of ₀. We show that the sup (resp. inf) of the posterior probability of an interval is attained by a prior which is equal to (1–)₀ except in one interval (resp. two disjoint intervals) where it is constant.     

ApproximatingL 2-invariants by their finite-dimensional analogues

LetX be a finite connectedCW-complex. Suppose that its fundamental group is residually finite, i.e. there is a nested sequence ... _m + 1 _m ... of in normal subgroups of finite index whose intersection is trivial. Then we show that thep-thL ²-Betti number ofX is the limit of the sequenceb _p(X_m)/[: _m ] whereb _p(X_m) is the (ordinary)p-th Betti number of the finite covering ofX associated with _m .     

Criterion for π-supersolvability for finite groups

It is proved that the class of finite -supersolvable groups is precisely the class of all finite -solvable groups with the following property: For each maximal subgroup M of a -solvable group G with index p for some p , there exists a cyclic subgroup S of order p ( ) such that G = MS and S commutes with each element of the Sylow system _M of the subgroup M.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 52, No. 1, pp. 57–61, July, 1992.
