On the theta completions for maximal subalgebras

Let L be a finite dimensional Lie algebra. Then for a maximal subalgebra M of L, a 𝜃-completion for M is a subalgebra C of L such that CM and M_L?C and C∕M_L contains no non-zero ideal of L∕M_L, properly. And a 𝜃-completion C of M is said to be a strong 𝜃-completion, if C = L or there exists a subalgebra B of L such that C be maximal in B and B is not a 𝜃-completion for M. These are analogous to the concepts of 𝜃-completion and strong 𝜃-completion of a maximal subgroup of a finite group. Now, we consider the influence of these concepts on the structure of a finite dimensional Lie algebra.     

Linear maps between C*-algebras that are *-homomorphisms at a fixed point

Let A and B be C*-algebras. A linear map T : A → B is said to be a *-homomorphism at an element z ∈ A if ab* = z in A implies T (ab*) = T (a)T (b)* = T (z), and c*d = z in A gives T (c*d) = T (c)*T (d) = T (z). Assuming that A is unital, we prove that every linear map T : A → B which is a *-homomorphism at the unit of A is a Jordan *-homomorphism. If A is simple and infinite, then we establish that a linear map T : A → B is a *-homomorphism if and only if T is a *-homomorphism at the unit of A. For a general unital C*-algebra A and a linear map T : A → B, we prove that T is a *-homomorphism if, and only if, T is a *-homomorphism at 0 and at 1. Actually if p is a non-zero projection in A, and T is a ^?-homomorphism at p and at 1 ? p, then we prove that T is a Jordan *-homomorphism. We also study bounded linear maps that are *-homomorphisms at a unitary element in A.     

A note on Ki-perfect graphs

Ki-perfect graphs are a special instance of F - G perfect graphs, where F and G are fixed graphs with F a partial subgraph of G. Given S, a collection of G-subgraphs of graph K, an F - G cover of S is a set of T of F-subgraphs of K such that each subgraph in S contains as a subgraph a member of T. An F - G packing of S is a subcollection S′? S such that no two subgraphs in S′ have an F-subgraph in common. K is F - G perfect if for all such S, the minimum cardinality of an F - G cover of S equals the maximum cardinality of an F - G packing of S. Thus K_i-perfect graphs are precisely K_i-1 - K_i perfect graphs. We develop a hypergraph characterization of F - G perfect graphs that leads to an alternate proof of previous results on K_i-perfect graphs as well as to a characterization of F - G perfect graphs for other instances of F and G.     

Cauchy’s residue theorem for a class of real valued functions

Let [a, b] be an interval in ℝ Rand let F be a real valued function defined at the endpoints of [a, b] and with a certain number of discontinuities within [a, b]. Assuming F to be differentiable on a set [a, b] | E to the derivative f, where E is a subset of [a, b] at whose points F can take values ±∞ or not be defined at all, we adopt the convention that F and f are equal to 0 at all points of E and show that KH-vt ∝ _a ^b f = F(b) − F(a), where KH-vt denotes the total value of the Kurzweil-Henstock integral. The paper ends with a few examples that illustrate the theory.     

Wave equations with time-dependent spatial operators of higher order

We study the initial-boundary value problem for ?_t²u(t,x)+A(t)u(t,x)+B(t)?_tu(t,x)=f(t,x) on [0,T]×Ω(Ω??ⁿ) with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition; here A(t) denotes a family of uniformly strongly elliptic operators of order 2m, B(t) denotes a family of spatial differential operators of order less than or equal to m, and u is a scalar function. We prove the existence of a unique strong solution u. Furthermore, an energy estimate for u is given.     

Skew Derivations and Engel Conditions

It is known that for a nonzero derivation d of a prime ring R, if a nonzero ideal I of R satisfies the Engel-type identity [[…[[d(x ^{k ₀} ), x ^{k ₁} ], x ^{k ₂} ],…], x ^{k _n} ], then R is commutative. Here we extend this result to a skew derivation of R for a Lie ideal I, which has an immediate corollary that replaces d by an automorphism of R. A related result in two variables is obtained for d a (θ, ?)-derivation.     

Locally connected models for Julia sets

Let P be a polynomial with a connected Julia set J. We use continuum theory to show that it admits a finest monotone map φ onto a locally connected continuumJP_∼, i.e. a monotone map φ:J→JP_∼ such that for any other monotone map ψ:J→J^′ there exists a monotone map h with ψ=h°φ. Then we extend φ onto the complex plane C (keeping the same notation) and show that φ monotonically semiconjugates PC_| to a topological polynomialg:C→C. If P does not have Siegel or Cremer periodic points this gives an alternative proof of Kiwi's fundamental results on locally connected models of dynamics on the Julia sets, but the results hold for all polynomials with connected Julia sets. We also give a characterization and a useful sufficient condition for the map φ not to collapse all of J into a point.     

1‐Factorizations of pseudorandom graphs

A 1‐factorization of a graph G is a collection of edge‐disjoint perfect matchings whose union is E(G). In this paper, we prove that for any ?>0, an (n,d,λ)‐graph G admits a 1‐factorization provided that n is even, C₀ ≤ d ≤ n?1 (where C₀=C₀(?) is a constant depending only on ?), and λ ≤ d^1??. In particular, since (as is well known) a typical random d‐regular graph G_n,d is such a graph, we obtain the existence of a 1‐factorization in a typical G_n,d for all C₀ ≤ d ≤ n?1, thereby extending to all possible values of d results obtained by Janson, and independently by Molloy, Robalewska, Robinson, and Wormald for fixed d. Moreover, we also obtain a lower bound for the number of distinct 1‐factorizations of such graphs G, which is better by a factor of 2^nd/2 than the previously best known lower bounds, even in the simplest case where G is the complete graph.     

On Isolated Submodules

Let R be a ring with identity and let M be a unital left R-module. A proper submodule L of M is radical if L is an intersection of prime submodules of M. Moreover, a submodule L of M is isolated if, for each proper submodule N of L, there exists a prime submodule K of M such that N ? K but L ? K. It is proved that every proper submodule of M is radical (and hence every submodule of M is isolated) if and only if N ∩ IM = IN for every submodule N of M and every (left primitive) ideal I of R. In case, R/P is an Artinian ring for every left primitive ideal P of R it is proved that a finitely generated submodule N of a nonzero left R-module M is isolated if and only if PN = N ∩ PM for every left primitive ideal P of R. If R is a commutative ring, then a finitely generated submodule N of a projective R-module M is isolated if and only if N is a direct summand of M.     

Commuting Graphs of Matrix Algebras

The commuting graph of a ring R, denoted by Γ(R), is a graph whose vertices are all noncentral elements of R, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = yx. The commuting graph of a group G, denoted by Γ(G), is similarly defined. In this article we investigate some graph-theoretic properties of Γ(M _n (F)), where F is a field and n ≥ 2. Also we study the commuting graphs of some classical groups such as GL _n (F) and SL _n (F). We show that Γ(M _n (F)) is a connected graph if and only if every field extension of F of degree n contains a proper intermediate field. We prove that apart from finitely many fields, a similar result is true for Γ(GL _n (F)) and Γ(SL _n (F)). Also we show that for two fields F and E and integers n, m ≥ 2, if Γ(M _n (F))?Γ(M _m (E)), then n = m and |F|=|E|.     

Localisation in rings equipped with a solvable Lie algebra action

Let k be an algebraically closed uncountable field of characteristic 0,g a finite dimensional solvable k-Lie algebraR a noetherian k-algebra on which g acts by k-derivationsU(g) the enveloping algebra of g,A=R*g the crossed product of R by U(g)P a prime ideal of A and Ω(P) the clique of P. Suppose that the prime ideals of the polynomial ring R[x] are completely prime. If R is g-hypernormal, then Ω(P) is classical. Denote by A_T the localised ring and let M be a primitive ideal of A_T Set Q=P∩R In this note, we show that if R is a strongly (R,g)-admissible integral domain and if QR_Q is generated by a regular g-centralising set of elements, then

(1)M is generated by a regular g-semi-invariant normalising set of elements of cardinald = dim (R_Q 0 + ∣X_A (P)∣

(2)d gldim(A_T ) = Kdim(A_T ) = ht(M) = ht(P).     

Coinvariants for a coadjoint action of quantum matrices

Let K be a (algebraically closed ) field. A morphism A ⟼ g ⁻¹ Ag, where A ∈ M(n) and g ∈ GL(n), defines an action of a general linear group GL(n) on an n × n-matrix space M(n), referred to as an adjoint action. In correspondence with the adjoint action is the coaction α: K[M(n)] → K[M(n)] ⊗ K[GL(n)] of a Hopf algebra K[GL(n)] on a coordinate algebra K[M(n)] of an n × n-matrix space, dual to the conjugation morphism. Such is called an adjoint coaction. We give coinvariants of an adjoint coaction for the case where K is a field of arbitrary characteristic and one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) q is not a root of unity; (2) char K = 0 and q = ±1; (3) q is a primitive root of unity of odd degree. Also it is shown that under the conditions specified, the category of rational GL _q × GL _q -modules is a highest weight category.     

PRIME IDEALS IN RINGS WITH INVOLUTION

Abstract

Let R be a ring with involution *. We show that if R is a *-prime ring which is not a prime ring, then R is “essentially” a direct product of two prime rings. Moreover, if P is a *-prime *-ideal of R, which is not a prime ideal of R, and X is minimal among prime ideals of R containing P, then P is a prime ideal of X, P = X ∩ X* and either: (1) P is essential in X and X is essential in R; or (2) for any relative complement C of P in X, then C* is a relative complement of X in R. Further characterizations of *-primeness are provided.     

Decomposition of bipartite graphs into closed trails

Let Lct(G) denote the set of all lengths of closed trails that exist in an even graph G. A sequence (t ₁,..., t _p ) of elements of Lct(G) adding up to |E(G)| is G-realisable provided there is a sequence (T ₁,..., t _p ) of pairwise edge-disjoint closed trails in G such that T _i is of length T _i for i = 1,..., p. The graph G is arbitrarily decomposable into closed trails if all possible sequences are G-realisable. In the paper it is proved that if a ⩾ 1 is an odd integer and M _a,a is a perfect matching in K _a,a , then the graph K _a,a -M _a,a is arbitrarily decomposable into closed trails.      

Submodules of Direct Sums of Compressible Modules

Let R be a ring. A right R-module M is called “essentially compressible” if it embeds in each of its essential submodules. Also a module X _R is called “completely essentially compressible” if every submodule of X _R is an essentially compressible R-module. In this aricle, it is shown that a right R-module M embeds in a direct sum of compressible right R-modules if and only if M _R is essentially compressible and every nonzero essentially compressible submodule of M _R contains a compressible submodule. Every essentially compressible R-module is shown to be retractable. Moreover, if either R _R has Krull dimension, or R is Morita equivalent to a right duo ring, then a right R-module embeds in a direct sum of compressible right R-modules if and only if it is completely essentially compressible.     

Universal Overconvergence of Polynomial Expansions of Harmonic Functions

For each compact subset K of ^N let (K) denote the space of functions that are harmonic on some neighbourhood of K. The space (K) is equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on K. Let Ω be an open subset of ^N such that 0Ω and ^N\Ω is connected. It is shown that there exists a series ∑H_n, where H_n is a homogeneous harmonic polynomial of degree n on ^N, such that (i) ∑H_n converges on some ball of centre 0 to a function that is continuous on Ω and harmonic on Ω, (ii) the partial sums of ∑H_n are dense in (K) for every compact subset K of ^N\Ω with connected complement. Some refinements are given and our results are compared with an analogous theorem concerning overconvergence of power series.     

The Sigma Chromatic Number of a Graph

For a nontrivial connected graph G, let ${c: V(G)\to {{\mathbb N}}}For a nontrivial connected graph G, let c: V(G)? \mathbb N{c: V(G)\to {{\mathbb N}}} be a vertex coloring of G, where adjacent vertices may be colored the same. For a vertex v of G, let N(v) denote the set of vertices adjacent to v. The color sum σ(v) of v is the sum of the colors of the vertices in N(v). If σ(u) ≠ σ(v) for every two adjacent vertices u and v of G, then c is called a sigma coloring of G. The minimum number of colors required in a sigma coloring of a graph G is called its sigma chromatic number σ(G). The sigma chromatic number of a graph G never exceeds its chromatic number χ(G) and for every pair a, b of positive integers with a ≤ b, there exists a connected graph G with σ(G) = a and χ(G) = b. There is a connected graph G of order n with σ(G) = k for every pair k, n of positive integers with k ≤n if and only if k ≠ n − 1. Several other results concerning sigma chromatic numbers are presented.     

Equivariant Reduction to Torus of a Principal Bundle

Let M be an irreducible projective variety, over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, equipped with an action of a connected algebraic group S over k. Let E _G be a principal G-bundle over M equipped with a lift of the action of S on M, where G is a connected reductive linear algebraic group. Assume that E _G admits a reduction of structure group to a maximal torus TG. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a T-reduction of E _G which is left invariant by the action of S on E _G .     

The structure of the 3-separations of 3-connected matroids

Tutte defined a k-separation of a matroid M to be a partition (A,B) of the ground set of M such that |A|,|B|k and r(A)+r(B)−r(M)<k. If, for all m<n, the matroid M has no m-separations, then M is n-connected. Earlier, Whitney showed that (A,B) is a 1-separation of M if and only if A is a union of 2-connected components of M. When M is 2-connected, Cunningham and Edmonds gave a tree decomposition of M that displays all of its 2-separations. When M is 3-connected, this paper describes a tree decomposition of M that displays, up to a certain natural equivalence, all non-trivial 3-separations of M.     

On G-Covering Subgroup Systems for Some Saturated Formations of Finite Groups

Let ? be a class of groups and G a finite group. We call a set Σ of subgroups of G a G-covering subgroup system for ? if G ∈ ? whenever Σ ? ?. For a non-identity subgroup H of G, we put Σ _H be some set of subgroups of G which contains at least one supplement in G of each maximal subgroup of H. Let p ≠ q be primes dividing |G|, P, and Q be non-identity a p-subgroup and a q-subgroup of G, respectively. We prove that Σ _P and Σ _P  ∪ Σ _Q are G-covering subgroup systems for many classes of finite groups.
