Identities of an algebra of triangular matrices

This paper deals with the ideals of identities of certain associative algebras over a field F of characteristic zero. An algebra W of matrices of the form ,,,M, where and , are F-algebras with unity and M is a (,)-bimodule, is considered. Under certain natural restrictions on M one obtains the equality of ideals of identities T(W)=T()T(), if [[x₁,x₂], x₃[x₄,x₅]]T().Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Four-Dimensional Compact Projective Planes with a Solvable Collineation Group

We consider a four-dimensional compact projective plane whose collineation group is six-dimensional and solvable with a nilradical N isomorphic to Nil×R, where Nil denotes the three-dimensional, simply connected, non-Abelian, nilpotent Lie group. We assume that fixes a flag p W, acts transitively on and fixes no point in the set W\p. Under these conditions, we will prove that either contains a three-dimensional group of elations or acts doubly transitively on .

Counting Singular Matrices with Primitive Row Vectors

We solve an asymptotic problem in the geometry of numbers, where we count the number of singular n×n matrices where row vectors are primitive and of length at most T. Without the constraint of primitivity, the problem was solved by Y. Katznelson. We show that as T, the number is asymptotic to for n3. The 3-dimensional case is the most problematic and we need to invoke an equidistribution theorem due to W. M. Schmidt.     

Random fixed point theorems for a certain class of mappings in banach spaces

Let (, ) be a measurable space and C a nonempty bounded closed convex separable subset of p-uniformly convex Banach space E for some p > 1. We prove random fixed point theorems for a class of mappings T: × C C satisfying: for each x, y C, and integer n 1,

Characterization of Dirichlet Forms by their Excessive and Co–Excessive Elements

It is proved that if S, T are two elliptic Dirichlet operators on an ordered Hilbert space such that the excessive (resp. coexcessive) elements with respect to S and T are the same then there exists > 0 with T = S. Particularly if , are two elliptic Dirichlet forms on L² ( ) having the same domain of definition and the same -excessive (resp. -coexcessive) elements for any > 0 then = .     

Large-time behavior of perturbed diffusion markov processes with applications to the second eigenvalue problem for fokker-planck operators and simulated annealing

We study the large-time behavior and rate of convergence to the invariant measures of the processes dX (t)=b(X) (t)) dt + (X (t)) dB(t). A crucial constant appears naturally in our study. Heuristically, when the time is of the order exp( – )/² , the transition density has a good lower bound and when the process has run for about exp( – )/², it is very close to the invariant measure. LetL =(²/2) – U · be a second-order differential operator on ^d. Under suitable conditions,L ^z has the discrete spectrum

Bifurcation of periodic solutions to variational inequalities in R κ based on Alexander-Yorke theorem

Variational inequalities are studied, where K is a closed convex cone in , 3, B is a × matrix, G is a small perturbation, a real parameter. The assumptions guaranteeing a Hopf bifurcation at some ₀ for the corresponding equation are considered and it is proved that then, in some situations, also a bifurcation of periodic solutions to our inequality occurs at some _{I 0}. Bifurcating solutions are obtained by the limiting process along branches of solutions to penalty problems starting at ₀ constructed on the basis of the Alexander-Yorke theorem as global bifurcation branches of a certain enlarged system.     

Investigations on slow versus fast growing: How to majorize slow growing functions nontrivially by fast growing ones

Let T() be the ordinal notation system from Buchholz-Schütte (1988). [The order type of the countable segmentT()₀ is — by Rathjen (1988) — the proof-theoretic ordinal the proof-theoretic ordinal ofACA ₀ + ( ₁ ^l –TR).] In particular let _a denote the enumeration function of the infinite cardinals and leta ₀ a denote the partial collapsing operation on T() which maps ordinals of T() into the countable segment T ₀ of T(). Assume that the (fast growing) extended Grzegorczyk hierarchy and the slow growing hierarchy are defined with respect to the natural system of distinguished fundamental sequences of Buchholz and Schütte (1988) in the following way:

Infimal generators and dualities between complete lattices

Summary We give some applications of infimal generators of complete lattices, in the sense of Kutateladze and Rubinov [12], to the study of dualities between two complete lattices E and F (i.e., mappings : E F satisfying for all and all index sets I, including the empty set I=Ø). We give some additional results for E=(2^X, ), F=(2^W, ) and E=(¯R^X, ), F=(¯R^W, ) (where X and W are arbitrary sets), with suitable families of infimal generators. We obtain some lattice- theoretic properties of the relations of [22] between dualities : (2^X, ) (2^W, ), binary relations X×W, polarities (): (2^X, ) (2^W, ), coupling functionals : X×W ¯R and Fenchel-Moreau conjugations c():(¯R^X, ) (¯R^W,).     

Finitely generated relatively universal varieties of Heyting algebras

Given distinct varieties and of the same type, we say that is relatively -universal if there exists an embedding :K from a universal categoryK such that for every pairA, B ofK-objects, a homomorphismf:A B has the formf=_g for someK-morphismg:A B if and only if Im(f) . Finitely generated relatively -universal varieties of Heyting algebras are described for the variety of Boolean algebras, the variety generated by a three element chain, and for the variety generated by the four element Boolean algebra with an added greatest element.Dedicated to the memory of Alan DayPresented by J.

On recurrence

Summary LetT be a non-singular ergodic automorphism of a Lebesgue space (X,L,) and letf: X be a measurable function. We define the notion of recurrence of such a functionf and introduce the recurrence setR(f)={:f– is recurrent}. If , then R()={0}, but in general recurrence sets can be very complicated. We prove various conditions for a number to lie in R(f) and, more generally, forR(f) to be non-empty. The results in this paper have applications to the theory of random walks with stationary increments.     

Rational Approximation of Analytic Functions Having Generalized Orders of Rate of Growth

Let f be holomorphic on a domain G C¯ and _n be the error in best approximation of f in the supremum norm on a compact set E G by rational functions of order n. We obtain results characterizing the degree of decrease of the best approximation _n in terms connected with the condenser (E,F), F=C¯ \ G¯, and the rate of growth of the maximum modulus of f(z). In particular, if f has a generalized order (, , f) in the domain G, thenlim sup_n (n)/ (log (1/log⁺((_{0 1} ....... _n)^1/n(n+1) ))) (, , f),where = exp (1/C(E,F)), C(E,F) is the capacity of the condenser (E,F).     

Lattices of interpretability types of varieties

Let be the set of all primes, the field of all algebraic numbers, and Z the set of square-free natural numbers. We consider partially ordered sets of interpretability types such as , and , where AD is a variety of -divisible Abelian groups with unique taking of the pth root _p(x) for every p , is a variety of -modules over a normal field , contained in , and G_n is a variety of n-groupoids defined by a cyclic permutation (12 ...n). We prove that , and are distributive lattices, with and where ub and ub_f are lattices (w.r.t. inclusion) of all subsets of the set and of finite subsets of , respectively.Deceased.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 198–210, March–April, 2005.
