Paranorm <Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis>-convergent sequence spaces

In this article we introduced the sequence spaces c ^I (p), c ₀ ^I (p), m ^I (p) and m ₀ ^I (p) for p = (p _k ), a sequence of positive real numbers. We study some algebraic and topological properties of these spaces. We prove the decomposition theorem and obtain some inclusion relations.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-Free-like groups

The following results are proved. In Theorem 1, it is stated that there exist both finitely presented and not finitely presented 2-generated nonfree groups which are k-free-like for any k ⩾ 2. In Theorem 2, it is claimed that every nonvirtually cyclic (resp., noncyclic and torsion-free) hyperbolic m-generated group is k-free-like for every k ⩾ m + 1 (resp., k ⩾ m). Finally, Theorem 3 asserts that there exists a 2-generated periodic group G which is k-free-like for every k ⩾ 3. Supported by NSF (grant Nos. DMS 0455881 and DMS-0700811). (A. Yu. Olshanskii, M. V.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">I</Emphasis>*-convergence of double sequences

The idea of I-convergence was introduced by Kostyrko et al (2001) and also independently by Nuray and Ruckle (2000) (who called it generalized statistical convergence) as a generalization of statistical convergence (Fast (1951), Schoenberg(1959)). For the last few years, study of these convergences of sequences has become one of the most active areas of research in classical Analysis. In 2003 Muresaleen and Edely introduced the concept of statistical convergence of double sequences. In this paper we consider the notions of I and I*-convergence of double sequences in real line as well as in general metric spaces. We primarily study the inter-relationship between these two types of convergence and then investigate the category and porosity position of bounded I and I*-convergent double sequences.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-Radical classes and product radical classes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">MV</Emphasis>-algebras

For an MV-algebra let J ₀( ) be the system of all closed ideals of ; this system is partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion. A radical class X of MV-algebras will be called a K-radical class iff, whenever ∈ X and is an MV-algebra with J ₀( ) ≅ J ₀( ), then ∈ X. An analogous notation for lattice ordered groups was introduced and studied by Conrad. In the present paper we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between K-radical classes of MV-algebras and K-radical classes of abelian lattice ordered groups. We also prove an analogous result for product radical classes of MV-algebras; product radical classes of lattice ordered groups were studied by Ton.

This paper identifies a certain class of locally supersoluble groups (called soluble hall-T groups) which contains the soluble T-groups as well as the nilpotent groups. The main result states that the product of a normal soluble hall-T subgroup and a subnormal locally supersoluble subgroup is always locally supersoluble.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 20E25, 20F16, 20F19

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-quasinormal and <Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>-normal subgroups of a finite group

Let be a saturated formation containing the class of supersolvable groups and let G be a finite group. The following theorems are presented: (1) G ∈ if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ and every maximal subgroup of all Sylow subgroups of H is either c-normal or S-quasinormally embedded in G. (2) G ∈ if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ and every maximal subgroup of all Sylow subgroups of F*(H), the generalized Fitting subgroup of H, is either c-normal or S-quasinormally embedded in G. (3) G ∈ if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ and every cyclic subgroup of F*(H) of prime order or order 4 is either c-normal or S-quasinormally embedded in G.

Generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">SV</Emphasis>-modules

Given an arbitrary quasiprojective right R-module P, we prove that every module in the category σ(P) is weakly regular if and only if every module in σ(M/I(M)) is lifting, where M is a generating object in σ(P). In particular, we describe the rings over which every right module is weakly regular.     

On the p—Local Rank of Finite Groups

In this paper,we shall mainly study the p-solvable finite group in terms of p-local rank,and a group theoretic characterization will be given of finite p-solvabel groups with p-local rank two.Theorem A Let G be a finite p-solvable group with p-local rank plr(G)=2 and Op(G)=1.If P is a Sylow p-subgrounp of G,then P has a normal subgroup Q such that P/Q is cyclic or a generalized quaternion 2-group and the p-rank of Q is at most two.Theorem B Let G be a finite p-solvable group with Op(G)=1.Then the p-length lp(G)≤plr(G);if in addition plr(G)=lp (G) and p≥5 is odd,then plr(G)=0 or 1.     

A new characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">PSU</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p,q</Emphasis>)

Summary Let G be a finite group. Order components of G were introduced in Chen [5]. Let OC(G) be the set of order components of G. Some finite groups are characterizable by their order components. This assertion was proved for the simple groups PSU(p,q), where p=3, 5, 7 and 11. In this paper, we prove that the simple groups PSU(p,q) can be uniquely determined by their order components, where p&ge;13 is a prime number. Main consequences of our results are the validity of a conjecture of J. G. Thompson and another conjecture of W. Shi and J. Bi for the groups under consideration.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> discrepancy of generalized two-dimensional Hammersley point sets

We determine the L _p discrepancy of the two-dimensional Hammersley point set in base b. These formulas show that the L _p discrepancy of the Hammersley point set is not of best possible order with respect to the general (best possible) lower bound on L _p discrepancies due to Roth and Schmidt. To overcome this disadvantage we introduce permutations in the construction of the Hammersley point set and show that there always exist permutations such that the L _p discrepancy of the generalized Hammersley point set is of best possible order. For the L ₂ discrepancy such permutations are given explicitly.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>-Semipermutable subgroups of finite groups

A subgroup is called c-semipermutable in G if A has a minimal supplement T in G such that for every subgroup T ₁ of T there is an element x ∈ T satisfying AT ₁ ^x = T ₁ ^x A. We obtain a few results about the c-semipermutable subgroups and use them to determine the structures of some finite groups.     

Point sets with low <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-discrepancy

In this paper we study the L _p -discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets. While it is known that the (unshifted) Hammersley point set (which is also known as Roth net) with N points has L _p -discrepancy (p an integer) of order (log N)/N, we show that there always exists a shift such that the digitally shifted Hammersley point set has L _p -discrepancy (p an even integer) of order which is best possible by a result of W. Schmidt. Further we concentrate on the case p = 2. We give very tight lower and upper bounds for the L ₂-discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets which show that the value of the L ₂-discrepancy of such a point set mostly depends on the number of zero coordinates of the shift and not so much on the position of these.
