Semiprime smash products and -stable prime radicals for PI-algebras

Assume that is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field and that is an -module algebra satisfying a polynomial identity (PI). We prove that if is semisimple and is -semiprime, then is semiprime. If is cosemisimple, we show that the prime radical of is -stable.

A reduction theorem for the topological degree for mappings of class

The reduction theorem for the Leray-Schauder degree provides an efficient tool to calculate the value of the degree in a suitable invariant subspace. We shall prove how the calculation of the value of the topological degree for a mapping of class from a real separable reflexive Banach space into the dual space can be reduced into the calculation of degree of mapping from a closed subspace into Since the Leray-Schauder mappings are acting from to and we are dealing with mappings from to the standard `invariant subspace' condition must be replaced by a less obvious one.

     

A note on -intersection bodies

The concept of an intersection body is central for the dual Brunn-Minkowski theory and has also played an important role in the solution of the Busemann-Petty problem. A more general concept of -intersection bodies is related to the generalization of the Busemann-Petty problem. In this note, we compare classes of -intersection bodies for different and examine the conjecture that these classes increase with . In particular, we construct a -intersection body that is not a -intersection body.

Upper bounds for the volume and diameter of -dimensional sections of convex bodies

In this paper some upper bounds for the volume and diameter of central sections of symmetric convex bodies are obtained in terms of the isotropy constant of the polar body. The main consequence is that every symmetric convex body in of volume one has a proportional section , dim ( ), of diameter bounded by

whenever the polar body is in isotropic position ( is some absolute constant).

Cross -sections of star bodies and dual mixed volumes

In this paper, we establish an extension of Funk's section theorem. Our result has the following corollary: If is a star body in whose central -slices have the same volume (with appropriate dimension) as the central -slices of a centered body , then the dual quermassintegrals satisfy , for any , with equality if and only if . The case that is a centered body implies Funk's section theorem.
