<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.

Sequential convergences on <Emphasis Type="Italic">MV</Emphasis>-algebras without Urysohn’s axiom

In a previous author’s paper, sequential convergences on an MV-algebra have been studied; the Urysohn’s axiom was assumed to be valid. The system of all such convergences was denoted by Conv . In the present paper we investigate analogous questions without supposing the validity of the Urysohn’s axiom; the corresponding system of convergences is denoted by conv . Both Conv and conv are partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion. We deal with the properties of conv 289-6 and the relations between conv and Conv . We prove that each interval of conv is a distributive lattice. The system conv has the least element, but it does not possess any atom. Hence it is either a singleton set or it is infinite. We consider also the relations between conv and conv G, where (G, u) is a unital lattice-ordered group with = Γ (G, u).

Iterative separation in distributive congruence lattices

In [PLOŠČICA, M.: Separation in distributive congruence lattices, Algebra Universalis 49 (2003), 1–12] we defined separable sets in algebraic lattices and showed a close connection between the types of non-separable sets in congruence lattices of algebras in a finitely generated congruence distributive variety and the structure of subdirectly irreducible algebras in . Now we generalize these results using the concept of separable mappings (defined on some trees) and apply them to some lattice varieties.

A note on the degree conjecture for the Selberg class

The degree conjecture for the Selberg class of L-functions states that the degree d _F of every F ∈ is an integer. Moreover, it is expected that every F ∈ has polynomial Euler product, and that the degree ∂ _F of such an Euler product coincides with d _F . In this note we prove that a suitable continuity assumption on the degree d _F implies that ∂ _F = d _F for all F ∈ with polynomial Euler product.

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.

Cohomology of a flag variety as a Bethe algebra

We interpret the equivariant cohomology H_GLn ^*H_{GL_n }^* (ℱ _λ ,ℂ) of a partial flag variety ℱ _λ parametrizing chains of subspaces 0 = F ₀ ⊂ F ₁ ⊂ … ⊂ F _N = ℂ ⁿ , dimF _i /F _i−1 = λ _i , as the Bethe algebra of the -weight subspace of a [t]-module .

Fundamental group of tiles associated to quadratic canonical number systems

If A is a 2 × 2 expanding matrix with integral coefficients, and ⊂ ℤ² a complete set of coset representatives of ℤ²/Aℤ² with |det(A)| elements, then the set ℐ defined by Aℐ = ℐ + is a self-affine plane tile of ℝ², provided that its two-dimensional Lebesgue measure is positive. It was shown by Luo and Thuswaldner that the fundamental group of such a tile is either trivial or uncountable. To a quadratic polynomial x ² + Ax + B, A, B ∈ ℤ such that B ≥ 2 and −1 ≤ A ≤ B, one can attach a tile ℐ. Akiyama and Thuswaldner proved the triviality of the fundamental group of this tile for 2A < B + 3, by showing that a tile of this class is homeomorphic to a closed disk. The case 2A ≥ B + 3 is treated here by using the criterion given by Luo and Thuswaldner.

Direct product decompositions of bounded commutative residuated ℓ-monoids

The notion of bounded commutative residuated ℓ-monoid (BCR ℓ-monoid, in short) generalizes both the notions of MV-algebra and of BL-algebra. Let be a BCR ℓ-monoid; we denote by ℓ( ) the underlying lattice of . In the present paper we show that each direct product decomposition of ℓ( ) determines a direct product decomposition of . This yields that any two direct product decompositions of have isomorphic refinements. We consider also the relations between direct product decompositions of and states on .

Cliques in Steiner systems

A partial Steiner (k,l)-system is a k-uniform hypergraph with the property that every l-element subset of V is contained in at most one edge of . In this paper we show that for given k,l and t there exists a partial Steiner (k,l)-system such that whenever an l-element subset from every edge is chosen, the resulting l-uniform hypergraph contains a clique of size t. As the main result of this note, we establish asymptotic lower and upper bounds on the size of such cliques with respect to the order of Steiner systems.

On modules with <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>-Koszul-type submodules

The so-called weakly d-Koszul-type module is introduced and it turns out that each weakly d-Koszul-type module contains a d-Koszul-type submodule. It is proved that, M ∈ W H J^d（A） if and only if M admits a filtration of submodules： 0 belong to U0 belong to U1 belong to ... belong to Up = M such that all Ui/Ui-1 are d-Koszul-type modules, from which we obtain that the finitistic dimension conjecture holds in W H J^d（A） in a special case. Let M ∈ W H J^d（A）. It is proved that the Koszul dual E（M） is Noetherian, Hopfian, of finite dimension in special cases, and E（M） ∈ gr0（E（A））. In particular, we show that M ∈ W H J^d（A） if and only if E（G（M）） ∈ gr0（E（A））, where G is the associated graded functor.     

The commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space

In this paper, using the matrix skills and operator theory techniques we characterize the commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space. For f（z） = z^ng（z） （n ≥1）, g（z） = b0 ＋ b1z^p1 ＋b2z^p2 ＋.. , bk ≠ 0 （k = 0, 1, 2,...）, our main result is =A′（Mf） = A′（Mzn）∩A′（Mg） = A′（Mz^s）, where s = g.c.d.（n,p1,p2,...）. In the last section, we study the relation between strongly irreducible curve and the winding number W（f,f（α））, α ∈ D.     

Compact images of spaces with a weaker metric topology

If X is a space that can be mapped onto a metric space by a one-to-one mapping, then X is said to have a weaker metric topology. In this paper, we give characterizations of sequence-covering compact images and sequentially-quotient compact images of spaces with a weaker metric topology. The main results are that (1) Y is a sequence-covering compact image of a space with a weaker metric topology if and only if Y has a sequence of point-finite cs-covers such that for each y ∈ Y. (2) Y is a sequentially-quotient compact image of a space with a weaker metric topology if and only if Y has a sequence of point-finite cs*-covers such that for each y ∈ Y.

Nontrivial Solutions of Superquadratic Hamiltonian systems with Lagrangian Boundary Conditions and the L-index Theory

In this paper, the authors study the existence of nontrivial solutions for the Hamiltonian systems z（t） = J△↓H（t, z（t）） with Lagrangian boundary conditions, where ^H（t,z）=1/2（^B（t）z, z） ＋ ^H（t, z）,^B（t） is a semipositive symmetric continuous matrix and ^H（t, z） = satisfies a superquadratic condition at infinity. We also obtain a result about the L-index.     

Relative MV-algebras and relative homomorphisms

In this paper we define the notion of relative subalgebra of an MV-algebra A. A particular case of this notion is the notion of interval subalgebra of A; this has been already studied in the literature. Applying these notions, two new categories denoted as r      

∞-jets of diffeomorphisms preserving orbits of vector fields

Let F be a C ^∞ vector field defined near the origin O ∈ ℝ ⁿ , F(O) = 0, and (F _t ) be its local flow. Denote by the set of germs of orbit preserving diffeomorphisms h: ℝ ⁿ → ℝ ⁿ at O, and let , (r ≥ 0), be the identity component of with respect to the weak Whitney W ^r topology. Then contains a subset consisting of maps of the form F _α(x)(x), where α: ℝ ⁿ → ℝ runs over the space of all smooth germs at O. It was proved earlier by the author that if F is a linear vector field, then = . In this paper we present a class of examples of vector fields with degenerate singularities at O for which formally coincides with , i.e. on the level of ∞-jets at O. We also establish parameter rigidity of linear vector fields and “reduced” Hamiltonian vector fields of real homogeneous polynomials in two variables.

The pressure in operator algebras

We introduce two notions of the pressure in operator algebras, one is the pressure Pα（π, T） for an automorphism α of a unital exact C^＊-algebra A at a self-adjoint element T in A with respect to a faithful unital ＊-representation π the other is the pressure Pτ,α（T） for an automorphism α of a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra M at a self-adjoint element T in M with respect to a faithful normal α-invariant state τ. We give some properties of the pressure, show that it is a conjugate invaxiant, and also prove that the pressure of the implementing inner automorphism of a crossed product A×α Z at a self-adjoint operator T in A equals that of α at T.
