Linear and nonlinear representations of Galilei groups in two-dimensional space-time

We study Galilei groups represented as groups of Lie transformations in the space of two independent variables and one dependent variable. We classify the representations of the groupsAG ₁ (1, 1),A G ₂ (1,1),A G ₃ (1,1), , , and in the class of Lie vector fields. Deceased. Institute of Mathematics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev.

Asymptotic normality and efficiency of a weighted correlogram

For a process X(t)=Σ _j=1 ^M g _j (t)ξ _j (), where g_j(t) are nonrandom given functions, is a stationary vector-valued Gaussian process, Eξ_k(t) = 0, and Eξ_k(0) Eξ_l(τ) = r _kl(τ), we construct an estimate for the functions r _kl(τ) on the basis of observations X(t), t ∈ [0, T]. We establish conditions for the asymptotic normality of as T → ∞. We consider the problem of the optimal choice of parameters of the estimate depending on observations.

The result is illustrated with a simple linear regression model , where is a stationary sequence with extremal index .     

How big are the increments of lp-valued Gaussian processes?

Let be a sequence of independent Gaussian processes with (h) Put . The large increments forY(·) with bounded σ(p, h) are investigated.

What we know about the second adjunction mapping

Let be an algebraic submanifold of complex projective space ℙ ^N . Assume thatn:=dim and let denote the restriction of the hyperplane section bundle to . The meromorphic map associated to fork≥1 ties together the pluricanonical maps of the surface sections of . Known results show that the behavior of is far better than one would expect from experience with the pluricanonical mappings of algebraic surfaces. In this article we discuss the known results on the structure of the mappings and describe the open problems. Conferenza tenuta il 5 giugno 1997     

The spectrum of compact hypersurface in sphere

Let M be a compact minimal hypersurface of sphere Sn 1(1). Let (M) be H (r)-torus of sphere Sn 1 (1).Assume they have the same constant mean curvature H, the result in [1] is that ifSpec0(M, g) =Spec0((M), g),then for 3≤ n ≤ 6, r2≤n-1/n or n ≥ 6, r2 ≥ n-1, then M is isometric to (M). We improved the result and prove that: if Spec0(M,g) =Spec0((M),g), then M is isometric to (M). Generally, if Specp(M,g) =Specp((M),g), here p is fixed and satisfies that n(n - 1) ≠ 6p(n - p), then M is isometric to (M).     

Baer cotorsion Pairs

LetR be a unital associative ring and two classes of leftR-modules. In [St3] the notion of a ( ) pair was introduced. In analogy to classical cotorsion pairs, a pair (V,W) of subclasses is called a ( ) pair if it is maximal with respect to the classes and the condition Ext _R ¹ (V, W)=0 for all . In this paper we study pairs whereR = ℤ and is the class of all torsion-free abelian groups andT is the class of all torsion abelian groups. A complete characterization is obtained assumingV=L. For example, it is shown that every pair is singly cognerated underV=L. The author was supported by a DFG grant.     

Growth of power series with square root gaps

For entire functionsf whose power series have Hadamard gaps with ratio ≥1+α>1, Gaier has shown that the condition |f(x)|≤e ^x forx≥0 implies |f(z)|≤C _αe^|z| (*) for allz. Here the result is extended to the case of square root gaps, that is, , with , where α>0. Smaller gaps cannot work. In connection with his proof of the general high indices theorem for Borel summability, Gaier had shown that square root gaps imply . Having such an estimate, one can adapt Pitt’s Tauberian method for the restricted Borel high indices theorem to show that, in fact, , which implies (*). The author also states an equivalent distance formula involving monomialsx ^pke^−xinL ^∞ (0, ∞).

A linear periodic boundary-value problem for a second-order hyperbolic equation

We study the boundary-value problemu _tt -u _xx =g(x, t),u(0,t) =u (π,t) = 0,u(x, t +T) =u(x, t), 0 ≤x ≤ π,t ∈ ℝ. We findexact classical solutions of this problem in three Vejvoda-Shtedry spaces, namely, in the classes of, and-periodic functions (q and s are natural numbers). We obtain the results only for sets of periods, and which characterize the classes of π-, 2π -, and 4π-periodic functions.
