Hypersurfaces and Codazzi tensors

In this paper we deal with the following problem. Let (M ⁿ ,〈,〉) be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold and an isometric immersion. Find all Riemannian metrics on M ⁿ that can be realized isometrically as immersed hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space . More precisely, given another Riemannian metric on M ⁿ , find necessary and sufficient conditions such that the Riemannian manifold admits an isometric immersion into the Euclidean space . If such an isometric immersion exists, how can one describe in terms of f?

For a probability measure μ on a subset of , the lower and upper L^q-dimensions of order are defined by We study the typical behaviour (in the sense of Baire’s category) of the L^q-dimensions and . We prove that a typical measure μ is as irregular as possible: for all q ≥ 1, the lower L^q-dimension attains the smallest possible value and the upper L^q-dimension attains the largest possible value.     

Classification of Möbius Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in ${\Bbb S}^5$

Let M ⁿ be an immersed umbilic-free hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional unit sphere , then M ⁿ is associated with a so-called M?bius metric g, a M?bius second fundamental form B and a M?bius form Φ which are invariants of M ⁿ under the M?bius transformation group of . A classical theorem of M?bius geometry states that M ⁿ (n ≥ 3) is in fact characterized by g and B up to M?bius equivalence. A M?bius isoparametric hypersurface is defined by satisfying two conditions: (1) Φ ≡ 0; (2) All the eigenvalues of B with respect to g are constants. Note that Euclidean isoparametric hypersurfaces are automatically M?bius isoparametrics, whereas the latter are Dupin hypersurfaces. In this paper, we determine all M?bius isoparametric hypersurfaces in by proving the following classification theorem: If is a M?bius isoparametric hypersurface, then x is M?bius equivalent to either (i) a hypersurface having parallel M?bius second fundamental form in ; or (ii) the pre-image of the stereographic projection of the cone in over the Cartan isoparametric hypersurface in with three distinct principal curvatures; or (iii) the Euclidean isoparametric hypersurface with four principal curvatures in . The classification of hypersurfaces in with parallel M?bius second fundamental form has been accomplished in our previous paper [7]. The present result is a counterpart of the classification for Dupin hypersurfaces in up to Lie equivalence obtained by R. Niebergall, T. Cecil and G. R. Jensen.

Topological dimensions and multifractal Rényi dimensions of Polish spaces: a multifractal Szpilrajn type theorem

In this paper we consider the relationship between the topological dimension and the lower and upper q-Rényi dimensions and of a Polish space X for q ∈ [1, ∞]. Let and denote the Hausdorff dimension and the packing dimension, respectively. We prove that for all analytic metric spaces X (whose upper box dimension is finite) and all q ∈ (1, ∞); of course, trivially, for all q ∈ [1, ∞]. As a corollary to this we obtain the following result relating the topological dimension and the lower and upper q-Rényi dimensions: for all Polish spaces X and all q ∈ [1, ∞]; in (1) and (2) we have used the following notation, namely, for two metric spaces X and Y, we write X ∼ Y if and only if X is homeomorphic to Y. Equality (1) has recently been proved for q = ∞ by Myjak et al. Author’s address: Department of Mathematics, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Fife KY16 9SS, Scotland     

Probability measures on [SIN] groups and some related ideals in group algebras

In 1921, Blichfeldt gave an upper bound on the number of integral points contained in a convex body in terms of the volume of the body. More precisely, he showed that , whenever is a convex body containing n + 1 affinely independent integral points. Here we prove an analogous inequality with respect to the surface area F(K), namely . The proof is based on a slight improvement of Blichfeldt’s bound in the case when K is a non-lattice translate of a lattice polytope, i.e., K = t + P, where and P is an n-dimensional polytope with integral vertices. Then we have . Moreover, in the 3-dimensional case we prove a stronger inequality, namely .

Intersections and Unions of Orthogonal Polygons Starshaped Via Staircase n-Paths

For n ≥ 1, define p (n) to be the smallest natural number r for which the following is true: For any finite family of simply connected orthogonal polygons in the plane and points x and y in , if every r (not necessarily distinct) members of contain a common staircase n-path from x to y, then contains such a path. We show that p(1) = 1 and p(n) = 2 (n − 1) for n ≥ 2. The numbers p(n) yield an improved Helly theorem for intersections of sets starshaped via staircase n-paths. Moreover, we establish the following dual result for unions of these sets: Let be any finite family of orthogonal polygons in the plane, with simply connected. If every three (not necessarily distinct) members of have a union which is starshaped via staircase n-paths, then T is starshaped via staircase (n + 1)-paths. The number n + 1 in the theorem is best for every n ≥ 2.

Covering and packing in ${\Bbb Z}^n$ and ${\Bbb R}^n$, (I)

Given a finite subset of an additive group such as or , we are interested in efficient covering of by translates of , and efficient packing of translates of in . A set provides a covering if the translates with cover (i.e., their union is ), and the covering will be efficient if has small density in . On the other hand, a set will provide a packing if the translated sets with are mutually disjoint, and the packing is efficient if has large density. In the present part (I) we will derive some facts on these concepts when , and give estimates for the minimal covering densities and maximal packing densities of finite sets . In part (II) we will again deal with , and study the behaviour of such densities under linear transformations. In part (III) we will turn to .

Maximum principles for submanifolds of arbitrary codimension and bounded mean curvature

We construct quadratic forms on which are subharmonic on any n-dimensional minimal submanifold in and, more generally, on submanifolds of bounded mean curvature. This leads to nonexistence results for connected n-dimensional minimal submanifolds in as well as to necessary conditions for the existence of connected submanifolds of bounded mean curvature with arbitrary codimension. Furthermore we discuss a barrier principle for n-dimensional submanifolds in of bounded mean curvature.Received: 11 November 2003, Accepted: 29 January 2004, Published online: 2 April 2004Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 35J60, 49Q05, 53C42     

Embedding metric spaces into normed spaces and estimates of metric capacity

Let be an arbitrary real normed space of finite dimension d ≥ 2. We define the metric capacity of as the maximal such that every m-point metric space is isometric to some subset of (with metric induced by ). We obtain that the metric capacity of lies in the range from 3 to , where the lower bound is sharp for all d, and the upper bound is shown to be sharp for d ∈ {2, 3}. Thus, the unknown sharp upper bound is asymptotically linear, since it lies in the range from d + 2 to . Research supported by the German Research Foundation, Project AV 85/1-1.     

On the Dimension of Coinvariants of Permutation Representations

Let be a univariate, separable polynomial of degree n with roots x ₁,…,x _n in some algebraic closure of the ground field . It is a classical problem of Galois theory to find all the relations between the roots. It is known that the ideal of all such relations is generated by polynomials arising from G-invariant polynomials, where G is the Galois group of f(Z). Namely: The action of G on the ordered set of roots induces an action on by permutation of the coordinates and each defines a relation P − P(x ₁,…,x _n ) called a G-invariant relation. These generate the ideal of all relations. In this note we show that the ideal of relations admits an H-basis of G-invariant relations if and only if the algebra of coinvariants has dimension ‖G‖ over . To complete the picture we then show that the coinvariant algebra of a transitive permutation representation of a finite group G has dimension ‖G‖ if and only if G = Σ _n acting via the tautological permutation representation.
