Meson Algebras of Order ≥3

Meson algebras of order 2 have already drawn much attention, and their study has brought plenty of interesting knowledge. This fact motivated the definition and the study of meson algebras of greater order. Unfortunately, these algebras finally proved to be disappointing; probably there is almost nothing to add to the information given in the present article. Almost all meson algebras of order ≥3 are trivial, and the only two cases that give nontrivial algebras, are completely described here.     

A Note of log A ≥log B

A characterization of the generalized twisted field planes of characteristic ≥5

Let be a non-Desarguesian semifield plane of orderp ⁿ, p a prime number 5 andn3, and let denote the group induced by the autotopism groupG of on the line at infinity. We prove that is a generalized twisted field plane if, and only if, has an element of order (p ^k–1)((p ⁿ–1)/(p ^m–1)), for some integersk andm, wherek | m, m | n, andm.This work was supported in part by NSF grants RII-9014056, component IV of the EPSCoR of Puerto Rico grant and ARO grant for Cornell MSI     

Projective maps of rank ≥2 are strongly projective

We investigate the structure of projective maps between manifolds with linear connections, showing in particular that a projective map on a connected manifold that attains a rank ≥2 at some point is strongly projective     

On the canonical map of surfaces with q≥6

We carry out an analysis of the canonical system of a minimal complex surface S of general type with irregularity q > 0.Using this analysis,we are able to sharpen in the case q > 0 the well-known Castelnuovo inequality KS2≥3pg(S) + q(S)-7.Then we turn to the study of surfaces with pg=2q-3 and no fibration onto a curve of genus > 1.We prove that for q≥6 the canonical map is birational.Combining this result with the analysis of the canonical system,we also prove the inequality:KS2≥7χ(S) + 2.This improves an e...     

Classification of Fano 3-folds with B2≥2

This article contains the classification of Fano 3-folds with B₂2.There exist exactly 87 types of such 3-folds up to deformations; a Fano 3-fold is isomorphic to a product of P^l and a del Pezzo surface if its second Betti number is not less than 6. In particular, the second Betti number of a Fano 3-fold is not greater than 10.Firstly we classify Fano 3-folds which are either primitive or have B₂=2 by the tools developed in [2]; then we study Fano 3-folds obtained from them by successive curve-blow-ups by using their conic bundle structures or the existence of lines on them.Partially supported by Educational Projects for Japanese Mathematical Scientists and NSF Grants MCS 77-15524 and MCS 77-18723 (A04)Partially supported by Educational Projects for Japanese Mathematical Scientists     

Factorization of proper holomorphic maps on irreducible bounded symmetric domains of rank≥2

We obtain rigidity results on arbitrary proper holomorphic maps F from an irreducible bounded symmetric domain Ω of rank ≥2 into any complex space Z. After lifting to the normalization of the subvariety F (Ω) Z, we prove that F must be the canonical projection map to the quotient space of Ω by a finite group of automorphisms. The approach is along the line of the works of Mok and Tsai by considering radial limits of bounded holomorphic functions derived from F and proving that proper holomorphic maps between bounded symmetric domains preserve certain totally geodesic subdomains. In contrast to the previous works, in general we have to deal with multivalent holomorphic maps for which Fatou’s theorem cannot be applied directly. We bypass the difficulty by devising a limiting process for taking radial limits of correspondences arising from proper holomorphic maps and by elementary estimates allowing us to define distinct univalent branches of the underlying multivalent map on certain subsets. As a consequence of our rigidity result, with the exception of Type-IV domains, any proper holomorphic map f : Ω→ D of Ω onto a bounded convex domain D is necessarily a biholomorphism. In the exceptional case where Ω is a Type-IV domain, either f is a biholomorphism or it is a double cover branched over a totally geodesic submanifold which can be explicitly described.     

Minima of decomposable forms of degree n in n variables for n ≥ 3

The following theorem is proved: if for all (X0)one has ¦ F(x) ¦ >0, where F(x) is a decomposable form of degree n of n variables, then, for n 3, F(x) is proportional to an integral form.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On the E- and MV-optimality of block designs having k≥v

In this paper we consider the problem of determining and constructing E- and MV-optimal block designs to use in experimental settings where treatments are applied to experimental units occurring in b blocks of size k, k. It is shown that some of the well-known methods for constructing E- and MV-optimal unequally replicated designs having k fail to yield optimal designs in the case where . Some sufficient conditions are derived for the E- and MV-optimality of block designs having and methods for constructing designs satisfying these sufficient conditions are given.     

Real polynomial iterative roots in the case of nonmonotonicity height ≥ 2

It is known that a strictly piecewise monotone function with nonmonotonicity height ≥ 2 on a compact interval has no iterative roots of order greater than the number of forts. An open question is: Does it have iterative roots of order less than or equal to the number of forts? An answer was given recently in the case of "equal to". Since many theories of resultant and algebraic varieties can be applied to computation of polynomials, a special class of strictly piecewise monotone functions, in this paper we investigate the question in the case of "less than" for polynomials. For this purpose we extend the question from a compact interval to the whole real line and give a procedure of computation for real polynomial iterative roots. Applying the procedure together with the theory of discriminants, we find all real quartic polynomials of non-monotonicity height 2 which have quadratic polynomial iterative roots of order 2 and answer the question.     

Equilibrium fluctuations of asymmetric simple exclusion processes in dimension d≥3

We consider an asymmetric exclusion process in dimension d≥ 3 under diffusive rescaling starting from the Bernoulli product measure with density 0 < α < 1. We prove that the density fluctuation field Y ^N _t converges to a generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, which is formally the solution of the stochastic differential equatin dY _t = ?Y _t dt + dB ^∇ _t , where ? is a second order differential operator and B ^∇ _t is a mean zero Gaussian field with known covariances.

Super spline spaces of smoothnessr and degreed≥3r+2

The problem of computing the dimension of spaces of splines whose elements are piecewise polynomials of degreed withr continuous derivatives globally has attracted a great deal of attention recently. We contribute to this theory by obtaining dimension formulae for certain spaces of super splines, including the case where varying amounts of additional smoothness is enforced at each vertex. We also explicitly construct minimally supported bases for the spaces. The main tool is the Bernstein-Bézier method.Communicated by Klaus Höllig.     

从“不妨设 a≥b≥c”谈起

“不妨设”在数学解题中是常用的说法.在解有关“不等式”的问题时,对于某种特殊类型的问题,采用“不妨设 a≥b≥c”的手法,常能使解题简化.有时采取类似的方法解决一个问题,也可能会有“疑窦顿开”之效.下面略举数例.     

A class of periodic Jacobi-Perron Algorithms in pure algebraic number fields of degree n≥3

The author obtains the periodicity of the Jacobi-Perron algorithm of (,...,^n–1) where ⁿ=(Dⁿ–d)/Vⁿ, with D, d,V N^*=1,2,..., d|D, D and d congruent to +1(mod V^n–1) and D(n–1)d(V+1)/2+1. The case V=1 has been studied by L. Bernstein and the proof for arbitrary V follows exactly the same pattern. Secondary results are then obtained from the main theorem.     

Unique Determination of Locally Convex Surfaces with Boundary and Positive Curvature of Genus p ≥ 0

We prove the next result. If two isometric regular surfaces with regular boundaries, of an arbitrary finite genus, and positive Gaussian curvature in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, consist of two congruent arcs corresponding under the isometry (lying on the boundaries of these surfaces or inside these surfaces) then these surfaces are congruent.

     

Hall Polynomials for Affine Quivers of Type Am（m≥1）

It is well known that Hall polynomials as structural coefficients play an important role in the structure of Lie algebras and quantum groups. By using the properties of representation categories of affine quivers, the task of computing Hall polynomials for affine quivers can be reduced to counting the numbers of solutions of some matrix equations. This method has been applied to obtain Hall polynomials for indecomposable representations of quivers of type Am（m≥1）     

Nonnegative Rank Factorization of a Nonnegative Matrix A with A A ≥0

In this article we obtain a nonnegative rank factorization of nonnegative matrices A satisfying one or both of the following conditions: (i) AA ? ? 0 (ii) A ? A ? 0, thus providing a new set of conditions that guarantee the existence of a nonnegative least-squares solution of a linear system. Indeed, the characterization of such matrices improves some of the previous known conditions for the existence of a nonnegative least-squares solution of a linear system.     

The Grunewald–O'Halloran Conjecture for Nilpotent Lie Algebras of Rank ≥1

Grunewald and O'Halloran conjectured in 1993 that every complex nilpotent Lie algebra is the degeneration of another, nonisomorphic, Lie algebra. We prove the conjecture for the class of nilpotent Lie algebras admitting a semisimple derivation, and also for 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras. The conjecture remains open for characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension grater than or equal to 8.
