Elements of Small Orders in K_2FⅡ

In"Elements of small orders in K_2(F)"(Algebraic K-Theory,Lecture Notes in Math.,966,1982,1-6.),the author investigates elements of the form {a,Φ_n(a)} in the Milnor group K_2F of a field F,whereΦ_n(x)is the n-th cyclotomic polynomial.In this paper,these elements are generalized.Applying the explicit formulas of Rosset and Tate for the transfer homomorphism for K_2,the author proves some new results on elements of small orders in K_2F.     

On the torsion in K_2 of a field

For a field F,let Gn(F) = {{a,Φn(a)} ∈ K2(F) | a,Φn(a) ∈ F*},where Φn(x) is the n-th cyclotomic polynomial.At first,by using Faltings' theorem on Mordell conjecture it is proved that if F is a number field and if n = 4,8,12 is a positive integer having a square factor then Gn(F) is not a subgroup of K2(F),and then by using the results of Manin,Grauert,Samuel and Li on Mordell conjecture theorem for function fields,a similar result is established for function fields over an algebraically closed field.     

ON THE SECTIONAL CURVATURE OF A RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLD

In this paper the author establishes the following1.If M~n(n≥3)is a connected Riemannian manifold,then the sectional curvatureK(p),where p is any plane in T~x(M),is a function of at most n(n-1)/2 variables.Moreprecisely,K(p)depends on at most n(n-1)/2 parameters of group SO(n).2.Lot M~n(n≥3)be a connected Riemannian manifold.If there exists a point x ∈ Msuch that the sectional curvature K(p)is independent of the plane p∈T_x(M),then M is aspace of constant curvature.This latter improves a well-known theorem of F.Schur.     

BEST SIMULTANEOUS Lp APPROXIMATION

In this paper we discuss the exigtenoe of best simultaneous L_p approximation and give the characterization theorems of best simultaneous L_p approximation using the elements of an arbitrary quasioonvex set K in the space \[{L_p}(X,\sum ,\mu )\], A set \[K \subset {L_p}(X,\sum ,\mu )\] is called quasiconvex if for arbitrary elements \[{h_1},{h_2} \in K\] there exists a sequenoe \[{t_n} > 0\] (n = l, 2, ...), \[{t_n} > 0\]->0 (n—>∞) such that \[{t_n}{h_1} + (1 - {t_n}){h_2} \in \bar K(n = 1,2,...)\] where \[{\bar K}\] denotes a closure of K.     

On copositive approximation in some classical spaces of sequences

In this paper the author writes a simple characterization for the best copositive approximation in c; the space of convergent sequences, by elements of finite dimensional Chebyshev subspaces, and shows that it is unique.     

Asymptotic Estimates on the Time Derivative of Φ-entropy on Riemannian Manifolds

In this note,we obtain an asymptotic estimate for the time derivative of the Φ-entropy in terms of the lower bound of the Bakry–Emery Γ2 curvature.In the cases of hyperbolic space and the Heisenberg group(more generally,the nilpotent Lie group of rank two),we show that the time derivative of the Φ-entropy is non-increasing and concave in time t,also we get a sharp asymptotic bound for the time derivative of the entropy in these cases.     

The Formual of Generalized Center－Weak Saddle

In his paper,a problem of center-weak focus of a general system of degree n is transformed into a problem of generalized center-weak saddle.It offers:(1) the calculating formula of the saddle values of the former 4 orders in the general system of degree three;(2) some calculating formulae of the saddle values in the general homogeneous system of degree n. The problem of center-focus(saddle)plays an important role in the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations.However,since the calculations are difficult,the results have not been satisfactory.On the basis of the author‘s work,Northeast.Math.J.,13(4)(1997),487-494,the paper offers some calculating formulae of the saddle values.     

Complex and p-Adic Meromorphic Functions f′P′( f ),g′P′(g) Sharing a Small Function

Let K be a complete algebraically closed p-adic field of characteristic zero.We apply results in algebraic geometry and a new Nevanlinna theorem for p-adic meromorphic functions in order to prove results of uniqueness in value sharing problems, both on K and on C. Let P be a polynomial of uniqueness for meromorphic functions in K or C or in an open disk. Let f, g be two transcendental meromorphic functions in the whole field K or in C or meromorphic functions in an open disk of K that are not quotients of bounded analytic functions. We show that if f′P′( f) and g′P′(g) share a small function α counting multiplicity, then f = g, provided that the multiplicity order of zeros of P′satisfy certain inequalities. A breakthrough in this paper consists of replacing inequalities n ≥ k+2 or n ≥ k+3 used in previous papers by Hypothesis(G). In the p-adic context, another consists of giving a lower bound for a sum of q counting functions of zeros with(q-1) times the characteristic function of the considered meromorphic function.     

The Generalized Center-Weak Saddle of General Homogeneous System of Degree n

In this paper,a problem of center-weak focus of a homogeneous system of degree n is transformed into a problem of generalized center-weak saddle. It provides formulae for the saddle values of the first (4-(-1)n)m orders in such a system,where m=n-1 if n is an even number and m=(n-1)/2 if n is an odd number.     

HYPONORMALITY OF BLOCK TOEPLITZ OPERATORS ON THE WEIGHTED BERGMAN SPACES

In this paper we consider the block Toeplitz operators T_Φ on the weighted Bergman space A_α~2(D,C~n) and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the hyponormality of block Toeplitz operators with symbol in the class of functions Φ=F+G* with matrix-valued polynomial functions F and G with degree 2.     

The Smallest Degree Sum That Yields Potentially Kr＋1 - K3-Graphic Sequences

Let a（Kr,＋1 - K3,n） be the smallest even integer such that each n-term graphic sequence п= （d1,d2,…dn） with term sum σ（п） = d1 ＋ d2 ＋…＋ dn 〉 σ（Kr＋1 -K3,n） has a realization containing Kr＋1 - K3 as a subgraph, where Kr＋1 -K3 is a graph obtained from a complete graph Kr＋1 by deleting three edges which form a triangle. In this paper, we determine the value σ（Kr＋1 - K3,n） for r ≥ 3 and n ≥ 3r＋ 5.     

Idempotency of Extensions via the Bicompletion

Let Top ₀ be the category of topological T ₀-spaces, QU ₀ the category of quasi-uniform T ₀-spaces, T : QU ₀ → Top ₀ the usual forgetful functor and K : QU ₀ → QU ₀ the bicompletion reflector with unit k : 1 → K. Any T-section F : Top ₀ → QU ₀ is called K-true if KF = FTKF, and upper (lower) K-true if KF is finer (coarser) than FTKF. The literature considers important T-sections F that enjoy all three, or just one, or none of these properties. It is known that T(K,k)F is well-pointed if and only if F is upper K-true. We prove the surprising fact that T(K,k)F is the reflection to Fix(TkF) whenever it is idempotent. We also prove a new characterization of upper K-trueness. We construct examples to set apart some natural cases. In particular we present an upper K-true F for which T(K,k)F is not idempotent, and a K-true F for which the coarsest associated T-preserving coreflector in QU ₀ is not stable under K. We dedicate this paper to the memory of Sérgio de Ornelas Salbany (1941–2005).     

On Representations Associated with Completely n-Positive Linear Maps on Pro-C^＊-Algebras

It is shown that an n × n matrix of continuous linear maps from a pro-C^＊-algebra A to L（H）, which verifies the condition of complete positivity, is of the form [V^＊TijФ（·）V]^n i,where Ф is a representation of A on a Hilbert space K, V is a bounded linear operator from H to K, and j=1,[Tij]^n i,j=1 is a positive element in the C^＊-algebra of all n×n matrices over the commutant of Ф（A） in L（K）. This generalizes a result of C. Y.Suen in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 112（3）, 1991, 709-712. Also, a covariant version of this construction is given.     

Carlitz and the general 3φ2

In a letter dated March 3, 1971, L. Carlitz defined a sequence of polynomials, Φ _n (a,b; x, y; z), generalizing the Al-Salam & Carlitz polynomials, but closely related thereto. He concluded the letter by stating: “It would be of interest to find properties of Φ _n (a, b; x, y; z) when all the parameters are free.” In this paper, we reproduce the Carlitz letter and show how a study of Carlitz’s polynomials leads to a clearer understanding of the general ₃Φ₂ (a, b, c; d; e; q, z).

The smallest degree sum that yields potentially Kr,r-graphic sequences

We consider a variation of a classical Turán-type extremal problem as follows: Determine the smallest even integer σ(K_r,r,n) such that every n-term graphic sequence π = (d₁,d₂,...,d_n) with term sum σ(π) = d₁ + d₂ + ... + d_n ≥ σ(K_r,r,n) is potentially K_r,r-graphic, where K_r,r is an r × r complete bipartite graph, i.e. π has a realization G containing K_r,r as its subgraph. In this paper, the values σ(K_r,r,n) for even r and n ≥ 4r² - r - 6 and for odd r and n ≥ 4r² + 3r - 8 are determined.     

On Cyclotomic Numbers and the Reduction Map for the K-Theory of the Integers

We apply the recently proven compatibility of Beilinson and Soulé elements in K-theory to investigate density of rational primes p, for which the reduction map K _2n+1() K_{2n+1}(F_p)is nontrivial. Here n is an even, positive integer and F_p denotes the field of p elements. In the proof we use arithmetic of cyclotomic numbers which come from Soulé elements. Divisibility properties of the numbers are related to the Vandiver conjecture on the class group of cyclotomic fields. Using the K-theory of the integers, we compute an upper bound on the divisibility of these cyclotomic numbers.     

A note about the cyclotomic polynomial Фpq（x） and some related results

Abstract. The expression of cyclotomic polynomial Фpq （x） is concerned for a long time. A simple and explicit expression of Фpq （x） in Z[x] has been showed. The form of the factors of Фpq （x） over F2 and the upper, lower bounds of their Hamming weight are provided.     

Uniformly non-l n (1) Musielak-Orlicz sequence spaces

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the uniformly non-l _n ⁽¹⁾ property of Musielak-Orlicz sequence spacesl ^Φ generated by a sequence Φ=(ϕ_n:n⩾l) of finite Orlicz functions such that for eachn∈ℕ. As a result, forn ₀⩾2, there exist spacesl ^Φ which are only uniformly non-l _n ⁽¹⁾ forn⩾n ₀. Moreover we obtain a characterization of uniformly non-l _n ⁽¹⁾ and reflexive Orlicz sequence spaces over a wide class of purely atomic measures and of uniformly non-l _n ⁽¹⁾ Nakano sequence spaces. This extends a result of Luxemburg in [19]. Submitted in memory of Professor W. Orlicz     

Two Commuting Involutions Fixing F n ∪ F n-1

Consider G=Z ₂² as the group generated by two commuting involutions, and let be a smooth G-action on a smooth and closed manifold M. Suppose that the fixed point set of Φ consists of two connected components, F ⁿ and F ^n-1, with dimensions n and n−1, respectively. In this paper we prove that, if in the fixed data of Φ at least two eigenbundles over F ⁿ have dimension greater than n, and at least one eigenbundle over F ^n-1 has dimension greater than n−1, then the action (M,Φ) bounds equivariantly.It is well known that, if is a smooth involution on a smooth and closed m-dimensional manifold M ^m such that the fixed point set of T has constant dimension n, and if m > 2n, then (M ^m ,T) bounds equivariantly; this fact was proved by R. E. Stong and C. Kosniowski 27 years ago. As a consequence of our result, we will see that the same fact is true when, besides n-dimensional components, the fixed point set contains additional (n−1)-dimensional components.
