On Generic Well-posedness of Restricted Chebyshev Center Problems in Banach Spaces

Let B （resp. K, BC,KC） denote the set of all nonempty bounded （resp. compact, bounded convex, compact convex） closed subsets of the Banach space X, endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and let G be a nonempty relatively weakly compact closed subset of X. Let B° stand for the set of all F ∈B such that the problem （F, G） is well-posed. We proved that, if X is strictly convex and Kadec, the set KC ∩ B° is a dense Gδ-subset of KC ／ G. Furthermore, if X is a uniformly convex Banach space, we will prove more, namely that the set B ／B° （resp. K ／ B°, BC ／B°, KC ／ B°） is a-porous in B （resp. K,BC, KC）. Moreover, we prove that for most （in the sense of the Baire category） closed bounded subsets G of X, the set K ／ B° is dense and uncountable in K.

A Local Analysis of Imprimitive Symmetric Graphs

Let Г be a G-symmetric graph admitting a nontrivial G-invariant partition . Let Г be the quotient graph of Г with respect to . For each block B ∊ , the setwise stabiliser G_B of B in G induces natural actions on B and on the neighbourhood Г (B) of B in Г . Let G_(B) and G_[B] be respectively the kernels of these actions. In this paper we study certain “local actions" induced by G_(B) and G_[B], such as the action of G_[B] on B and the action of G_(B) on Г (B), and their influence on the structure of Г.

Applications of a theorem of Singerman about Fuchsian groups

Assume that we have a (compact) Riemann surface S, of genus greater than 2, with , where is the complex unit disc and Γ is a surface Fuchsian group. Let us further consider that S has an automorphism group G in such a way that the orbifold S/G is isomorphic to where is a Fuchsian group such that and has signature σ appearing in the list of non-finitely maximal signatures of Fuchsian groups of Theorems 1 and 2 in [6]. We establish an algebraic condition for G such that if G satisfies such a condition then the group of automorphisms of S is strictly greater than G, i.e., the surface S is more symmetric that we are supposing. In these cases, we establish analytic information on S from topological and algebraic conditions. Received: 4 April 2008

Semilinear representations of PGL

Let L be the function field of a projective space over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, and H be the group of projective transformations. An H-sheaf on is a collection of isomorphisms for each g ∈ H satisfying the chain rule. We construct, for any n > 1, a fully faithful functor from the category of finite-dimensional L-semilinear representations of H extendable to the semigroup End(L/k) to the category of coherent H-sheaves on The paper is motivated by a study of admissible representations of the automorphism group G of an algebraically closed extension of k of countable transcendence degree undertaken in [4]. The semigroup End(L/k) is considered as a subquotient of G, hence the condition on extendability. In the appendix it is shown that, if is either H, or a bigger subgroup in the Cremona group (generated by H and a certain pair of involutions), then any semilinear of degree one is an integral L-tensor power of It is also shown that this bigger subgroup has no non-trivial representations of finite degree if n > 1.     

Bloch-Bergman Pullbacks with Logarithmic Weights

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-nilpotency of finite groups*

Let be a class of groups. A subgroup H of a group G is called -s-supplemented in G, if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and K/K ∩ H_G belongs to where H_G is the maximal normal subgroup of G which is contained in H. The main purpose of this paper is to study some subgroups of Fitting subgroup and generalized Fitting subgroup -s-supplemented and some new criterions of p-nilpotency of finite groups are obtained. *This research is supported by the grant of NSFC and TianYuan Fund of Mathematics of China (Grant #10626047).     

On groups of type Φ

We define a group G to be of type Φ if it has the property that for every -module G, proj. G < ∞ iff proj. H G < ∞ for every finite subgroup H of G. We conjecture that the type Φ is an algebraic characterization of those groups G which admit a finite dimensional model for , the classifying space for the family of the finite subgroups of G. We also conjecture that the type Φ is equivalent to spli being finite, where spli is the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective -modules. Here we prove certain parts of these conjectures. The project is cofounded by the European Social Fund and National Resources–EPEAK II–Pythagoras. Received: 21 June 2006     

The product of two von Neumann n-frames, its characteristic, and modular fractal lattices

Let L be a bounded lattice. If for each a₁ < b₁ ∈ L and a₂ < b₂ ∈ L there is a lattice embedding ψ: [a₁, b₁] → [a₂, b₂] with ψ(a₁) = a₂ and ψ(b₁) = b₂, then we say that L is a quasifractal. If ψ can always be chosen to be an isomorphism or, equivalently, if L is isomorphic to each of its nontrivial intervals, then L will be called a fractal lattice. For a ring R with 1 let denote the lattice variety generated by the submodule lattices of R-modules. Varieties of this kind are completely described in [16]. The prime field of characteristic p will be denoted by F_p. Let be a lattice variety generated by a nondistributive modular quasifractal. The main theorem says that is neither too small nor too large in the following sense: there is a unique , a prime number or zero, such that and for any n ≥ 3 and any nontrivial (normalized von Neumann) n-frame of any lattice in , is of characteristic p. We do not know if in general; however we point out that, for any ring R with 1, implies . It will not be hard to show that is Arguesian. The main theorem does have a content, for it has been shown in [2] that each of the is generated by a single fractal lattice L_p; moreover we can stipulate either that L_p is a continuous geometry or that L_p is countable. The proof of the main theorem is based on the following result of the present paper: if is a nontrivial m-frame and is an n-frame of a modular lattice L with m, n ≥ 3 such that and , then these two frames have the same characteristic and, in addition, they determine a nontrivial mn-frame of the same characteristic in a canonical way, which we call the product frame.

A Topological View of Ramsey Families of Finite Subsets of Positive Integers

If is an initially hereditary family of finite subsets of positive integers (i.e., if and G is initial segment of F then ) and M an infinite subset of positive integers then we define an ordinal index .

Fong characters and chains of normal subgroups

In this note, we show that if is a π-partial character of the π-separable group is a chain of normal subgroups of G, and H is a Hall π-subgroup of G, then has a Fong character α Irr(H) such that for every subgroup , every irreducible constituent of α _H∩N is Fong for N. We also show that if is quasi-primitive, then for every normal subgroup M of G the irreducible constituents of are Fong for M. Received: 21 July 2006 Revised: 17 January 2007

Minors in Expanding Graphs

We propose a unifying framework for studying extremal problems related to graph minors. This framework relates the existence of a large minor in a given graph to its expansion properties. We then apply the developed framework to several extremal problems and prove in particular that: (a) Every -free graph G with average degree r ( are constants) contains a minor with average degree , for some constant ; (b) Every C_2k-free graph G with average degree r (k ≥ 2 is a constant) contains a minor with average degree , for some constant c = c(k) > 0. We also derive explicit lower bounds on the minor density in random, pseudo-random and expanding graphs. Received: March 2008, Accepted: May 2008
