Extensions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">GM</Emphasis>-rings

It is shown that a ring R is a GM-ring if and only if there exists a complete orthogonal set { e ₁,...,e _n } of idempotents such that all e _i Re _i are GM-rings. We also investigate GM-rings for Morita contexts, module extensions and power series rings.This work was supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province.     

The Frattini Subalgebra of n-Lie Algebras

In this paper, we mainly study the structural notions of Frattini subalgebra and Jacobson radical of n-Lie algebras. The properties on Frattini subalgebra and the relationship between the Frattini subalgebra and Jacobson radical are studied. Moreover, we also study them when an n-Lie algebra is strong semi-simple, k-solvable and nilpotent.     

Injective and Projective Properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>[<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>]-Modules

We study whether the projective and injective properties of left R-modules can be implied to the special kind of left R[x]-modules, especially to the case of inverse polynomial modules and Laurent polynomial modules.     

Degenerations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>[<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>]/(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis><Superscript>r</Superscript>)-Modules Giving Stratification of the Orbits

Let Λ be a finitely generated associative k-algebra where k is an algebraically closed field. For each natural number d, we have the variety of d-dimensional module structures on k^d given by the multiplication of the elements from a generating set of Λ. The general linear group Gl_d(k) acts on this variety by conjugation and the orbits under this action correspond to isomorphism classes of d-dimensional Λ-modules. For two d-dimensional Λ-modules M and N one says that M degenerates to N if the orbit corresponding to N is in the Zariski-closure of the orbit corresponding to M. Now in this situation the stabilizers of the elements in the orbit corresponding to N acts on the orbit corresponding to M. In this paper we characterize degenerations of k[t]/(t^r)-modules with the property that for each y in the orbit corresponding to N, there is an x_y in the orbit corresponding to M such that the orbit corresponding to M is the disjoint union of orbits of the x_y’s under the action of the stabilizer of y where y runs through the orbit corresponding to N.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-character Algebra and a Commuting Pair in Hopf Algebras

Let K be a field. Let H be a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple K-Hopf algebra. In this paper, we introduce a notion of β-character algebra C _β (H) for each group-like element β in H ^∗. We prove that Radford’s action of the Drinfel’d double D(H) on H _β (see Radford, J. Algebra, 270:670–695, 2003) and the right hit action of the β-character algebra C _β (H) on H _β form a commuting pair. This generalizes an earlier result of Zhu (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 125(10):2847–2851, 1997). A K-basis of C _β (H) is given when H is split semisimple. Finally, as an example, we explicitly construct all the simple modules for the Drinfel’d double of the unique 8-dimensional non-commutative and non-cocommutative semisimple Hopf algebra.

Approximations for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">GI</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">GI</Emphasis> type call center

In this paper, we propose approximations to compute the steady-state performance measures of the M/GI/N+GI queue receiving Poisson arrivals with N identical servers, and general service and abandonment-time distributions. The approximations are based on scaling a single server M/GI/1+GI queue. For problems involving deterministic and exponential abandon times distributions, we suggest a practical way to compute the waiting time distributions and their moments using the Laplace transform of the workload density function. Our first contribution is numerically computing the workload density function in the M/GI/1+GI queue when the abandon times follow general distributions different from the deterministic and exponential distributions. Then we compute the waiting time distributions and their moments. Next, we scale-up the M/GI/1+GI queue giving rise to our approximations to capture the behavior of the multi-server system. We conduct extensive numerical experiments to test the speed and performance of the approximations, which prove the accuracy of their predictions.      

Littlewood–Paley theorem on spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)</Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>)

We point out that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the space L ^p(t)(ℝ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ, then the well-known characterization of the spaces L ^p (ℝ), 1 < p < ∞, by the Littlewood–Paley theory extends to the space L ^p(t)(ℝ). We show that, for n > 1 , the Littlewood–Paley operator is bounded on L ^p(t) (ℝ ⁿ ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ ⁿ , if and only if p(t) = const.

Composite Integers n for Which φ（n）｜n- 1

In this note, we show that the number of composite integers n ≤ x such that φ（n）｜n - 1 is at most O（x^1/2（loglog x）^1/2）, thus improving earlier results by Pomerance and by Shan.     

Localization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">LM</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>-algebras

The aim of this paper is to define the localization LM _n -algebra of an LM _n —algebra L with respect to a topology F on L; in Section 5 we prove that the maximal LM _n -algebra of fractions (defined in [3]) and the LM _n -algebra of fractions relative to an Λ—closed system (defined in Section 2) are LM _n -algebras of localization.     

On generalized k-syzygy modules

In this paper, we first introduce the notion of generalized k-syzygy modules, and then give an equivalent characterization that the class of generalized k-syzygy modules coincides with that ofω-k-torsionfree modules. We further study the extension closure of the category consisting of generalized k-syzygy modules. Some known results are obtained as corollaries.

We estimate Gröbner-Shirshov bases for the Lie algebra A_n given arbitrary orders of generators (nodes of a Dynkin graph).

Equivalence classes in the Weyl groups of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

We consider two families of equivalence classes in the Weyl groups of type B _n which are suggested by the study of left cells in unequal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebras. Both families are indexed by a non-negative integer r. It has been shown that the first family coincides with left cells corresponding to the equal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebra when r=0; the equivalence classes in the second family agree with left cells corresponding to a special class of choices of unequal parameters when r is sufficiently large. Our main result shows that the two families of equivalence classes coincide, suggesting the structure of left cells for remaining choices of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra parameters.      

Static spin susceptibility in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">J</Emphasis> model

Based on the equation-of-motion method for the relaxation function expressed in terms of Hubbard operators, we evaluate the static spin susceptibility and correlation functions in the two-dimensional t-J model. We show that at zero temperature, a long-range antiferromagnetic order exists in the lattice for the hole concentration δ < δ_c ≃ 0.018. The calculated dependences of the spin susceptibility and correlation length on the temperature and hole concentration agree qualitatively with the experiment. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 152, No. 3, pp. 538–550, September, 2007.

On locally <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-convex <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>*-algebras

We endow any proper A-convex H*-algebra (E, τ) with a locally pre-C*-topology. The latter is equivalent to that introduced by the pre C*-norm given by Ptàk function when (E, τ) is a Q-algebra. We also prove that the algebra of complex numbers is the unique proper locally A-convex H*-algebra which is barrelled and Q-algebra.
