Prolongations of Vector Fields on Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spaces

We introduce the notion of the -prolongation of Lie algebras of differential operators on homogeneous spaces. The -prolongations are topological invariants that coincide with one-dimensional cohomologies of the corresponding Lie algebras in the case where V is a homogeneous space. We apply the obtained results to the spaces S ¹ (the Virasoro algebra) and .     

Semisimple Lie Algebras of Differential Operators

Starting from the commutation relations in a complex semisimple Lie algebra , one may obtain a space of vector fields on Euclidean space such that and are isomorphic when is equipped with the usual Lie bracket between vector fields and the isotropy subalgebra of is a Borel subalgebra . Furthermore, one may adjoin to the vector fields in multiplication operators to obtain an -parameter family of distinct presentations of as spaces of differential operators, where is the dual of a Cartan subalgebra. Some of these presentations will preserve a space of polynomials on Euclidean space, and, in fact, all the finite-dimensional representations of can be presented in this way. All of this is carried out explicitly for arbitrary . In doing so, one discovers there is a Lie group of diffeomorphisms of the unipotent subgroup N complementary to B which acts on these presentations and preserves a certain notion of weight.     

An Application of U(g)-bimodules to Representation Theory of Affine Lie Algebras

Let be the affine Lie algebra associated to the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra . We consider the tensor product of the loop -module associated to the irreducible finite-dimensional -module V() and the irreducible highest weight -module L _k,. Then L _k, can be viewed as an irreducible module for the vertex operator algebra M _k,0. Let A(L _k,) be the corresponding -bimodule. We prove that if the -module is zero, then the -module is irreducible. As an example, we apply this result on integrable representations for affine Lie algebras.     

Factorizations of One-Generated Composition Formations

A non-empty formation of finite groups is said to be solubly saturated, or we call it a composition formation, if every finite group G having a normal subgroup N such that belongs to . An intersection of all composition formations containing a given group G is denoted cformG. Conditions are described under which has the form , where .     

Equational Theories for Classes of Finite Semigroups

It is proved that there exists an infinite sequence of finitely based semigroup varieties such that, for all i, an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is undecidable while an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is decidable. An infinite sequence of finitely based semigroup varieties is constructed so that, for all i, an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is decidable whicle an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is not.

This note deals with homological characteristics of algebras of holomorphic functions of noncommuting variables generated by a finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra . It is proved that the embedding of the universal enveloping algebra of into its Arens–Michael hull is an absolute localization in the sense of Taylor provided that      

Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules: A New Direction in the Structure Theory of Representations

Let be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a -module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra , M is locally -finite and has finite -multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when is a Cartan subalgebra. We also review the recent determination of which reductive in subalgebras are essential to a classification. Finally, we present in detail the emerging picture for the case when is a principal 3-dimensional subalgebra.     

Derangements and Tensor Powers of Adjoint Modules for \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_n

We obtain the decomposition of the tensor space as a module for , find an explicit formula for the multiplicities of its irreducible summands, and (when n 2k) describe the centralizer algebra = ( ) and its representations. The multiplicities of the irreducible summands are derangement numbers in several important instances, and the dimension of is given by the number of derangements of a set of 2k elements.     

BRST Operator for Quantum Lie Algebras and Differential Calculus on Quantum Groups

For a Hopf algebra , we define the structures of differential complexes on two dual exterior Hopf algebras: (1) an exterior extension of and (2) an exterior extension of the dual algebra ^*. The Heisenberg double of these two exterior Hopf algebras defines the differential algebra for the Cartan differential calculus on . The first differential complex is an analogue of the de Rham complex. When ^* is a universal enveloping algebra of a Lie (super)algebra, the second complex coincides with the standard complex. The differential is realized as an (anti)commutator with a BRST operator Q. We give a recursive relation that uniquely defines the operator Q. We construct the BRST and anti-BRST operators explicitly and formulate the Hodge decomposition theorem for the case of the quantum Lie algebra U _q(gl(N)).     

On Plane Maximal Curves

The number N of rational points on an algebraic curve of genus g over a finite field satisfies the Hasse–Weil bound . A curve that attains this bound is called maximal. With and , it is known that maximalcurves have . Maximal curves with have been characterized up to isomorphism. A natural genus to be studied is and for this genus there are two non-isomorphic maximal curves known when . Here, a maximal curve with genus g ₂ and a non-singular plane model is characterized as a Fermat curve of degree .     

Quasi-Frobenius Rings and Nakayama Permutations of Semiperfect Rings

We say that is a ring with duality for simple modules, or simply a DSM-ring, if, for every simple right (left) -module U, the dual module U* is a simple left (right) -module. We prove that a semiperfect ring is a DSM-ring if and only if it admits a Nakayama permutation. We introduce the notion of a monomial ideal of a semiperfect ring and study the structure of hereditary semiperfect rings with monomial ideals. We consider perfect rings with monomial socles.

For semigroups (e ^tA ) _t0 of operators on a Hilbert space, we give conditions guaranteeing trace estimates of the polynomial type 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , where denotes the trace class. As an application we present higher order analogues of results due to E.B. Davies, B. Simon and M. van den Berg of the type 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , for certain unbounded domains , e.g. spiny urchin domains.     

Limiting Laws for Entrance Times of Critical Mappings of a Circle

A renormalization group transformation R ₁ has a single stable point in the space of the analytic circle homeomorphisms with a single cubic critical point and with the rotation number (the golden mean). Let a homeomorphism T be the C ¹-conjugate of . We let denote the sequence of distribution functions of the time of the kth entrance to the nth renormalization interval for the homeomorphism T. We prove that for any , the sequence has a finite limiting distribution function , which is continuous in , and singular on the interval [0,1]. We also study the sequence for k>1.     

On the Spectrum of Degenerate Operator Equations

We study the distribution in the complex plane of the spectrum of the operator , generated by the closure in of the operation originally defined on smooth functions with values in a Hilbert space satisfying the Dirichlet conditions . Here and A is a model operator acting in . Criterial conditions on the parameter for the eigenfunctions of the operator to form a complete and minimal system as well as a Riesz basis in the Hilbert space H are given.     

A New Cover of the 3-Local Geometry of Co1

The 3-local geometry of the sporadic simple group Co₁ has been known to have a cover with a flag-transitive automorphism group which is a nonsplit extension of an elementary Abelian 2-group of rank 24 (the Leech lattice modulo 2) by Co₁. It was conjectured that was simply connected. We disprove this conjecture by constructing a double cover of . The automorphism group of is of the shape . However, it is not isomorphic to the involution centralizer of the Monster sporadic simple group.     

Minihypers and Linear Codes Meeting the Griesmer Bound: Improvements to Results of Hamada, Helleseth and Maekawa

This article improves results of Hamada, Helleseth and Maekawa on minihypers in projective spaces and linear codes meeting the Griesmer bound.In [10,12],it was shown that any -minihyper, with , where , is the disjoint union of points, lines,..., -dimensional subspaces. For q large, we improve on this result by increasing the upper bound on non-square, to non-square, square, , and (4) for square, p prime, p<3, to . In the case q non-square, the conclusion is the same as written above; the minihyper is the disjoint union of subspaces. When q is square however, the minihyper is either the disjoint union of subspaces, or the disjoint union of subspaces and one subgeometry . For the coding-theoretical problem, our results classify the corresponding codes meeting the Griesmer bound.     

On Sylow Subgroups of Abelian Affine Difference Sets

An n-subsetD of a group G of order is called an affine difference set of G relativeto a normal subgroup N of G of order if the list of differences containseach element of G-N exactly once and no elementof N. It is a well-known conjecture that if Dis an affine difference set in an abelian group G,then for every prime p, the Sylow p-subgroupof G is cyclic. In Arasu and Pott [1], it was shownthat the above conjecture is true when . In thispaper we give some conditions under which the Sylow p-subgroupof G is cyclic.     

On Sets of Unbounded Divergence at Each Point of Multiple Fourier Series of a Function Equal Zero on a Closed Set

The problem investigated is to characterize sets E, the sets of unbounded divergence (at each point) of single and multiple Fourier series under condition of convergence of these series to zero at each point of the complement of E.For any nonempty open set B T ^N = [0, 2] ^N , N 1, a Lebesgue integrable function f ₀ is constructed which equals zero on the set U = T ^N \ B whose multiple trigonometric Fourier series diverges unboundedly (in the case of summation over squares) at each point of the set

A bi-Lipschitz continuous mapping of a space X is a bijection such that , where . We write if f is a Lipschitz (bi-Lipschitz) mapping of X into itself and denote by the set of all bi-Lipschitz mappings of X that are not isometry. Thus, if and blip . For X we consider a standard Cantor set K on the real line (with standard metric). The main result of this paper is formulated as follows: where Bibliography: 2 titles.
