Approximating the Distribution of Customers in <Emphasis Type="Italic">M/E</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">/s</Emphasis> Queues

Approximation formulae are suggested for the mean and variance of customers in M/E _n /s queues. It is shown that the distributions can be approximated by using the mean and variance to fit Gamma functions. A brief comment on the more general E _m /E _n /s case is given.     

On (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>)-semigroups

We generalize Green’s lemma and Green’s theorem for usual binary semigroups to (n,m)-semigroups, define and describe the regularity for an element of an (n,m)-semigroup, give some criteria for an element of an (n,m)-semigroup to be invertible, and further apply the invertibility for (n,m)-semigroups to (n,m)-groups and give some equivalent characterizations for (n,m)-groups. We establish Hosszú-Gluskin theorems for (n,m)-semigroups in two cases, as generalizations of the corresponding theorems for n-groups.     

Exponentially Many Monochromatic <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Matchings in <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>3<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-1</Subscript>

Erdös et al and Gerencsér et al had shown that in any 2-edge-coloring of K _3n-1, there is a n-matching containing edges with the same color(we call such matching monochromatic matching). In this paper we show that for any 2-edge-coloring of K _3n-1 there exists a monochromatic subgraph H of K _3n-1 which contains exponentially many monochromatic n-matchings.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>-decomposable finite groups for <Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>={1, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis> + 1, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis> + 2}

A normal subgroup N of a finite group G is called n-decomposable in G if N is the union of n distinct G-conjugacy classes. We study the structure of nonperfect groups in which every proper nontrivial normal subgroup is m-decomposable, m+1-decomposable, or m+2-decomposable for some positive integer m. Furthermore, we give classification for the soluble case.     

The Center of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dist</Emphasis> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">GL</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>|<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)) in Positive Characteristic

The purpose of this paper is to investigate central elements in distribution algebras D i s t(G) of general linear supergroups G = G L(m|n). As an application, we compute explicitly the center of D i s t(G L(1|1)) and its image under Harish-Chandra homomorphism.     

On Linear Preservers of Two-Sided Gut-Majorization On <Emphasis Type="Bold">M</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Subscript>

For X, Y ∈ M_n,m it is said that X is gut-majorized by Y, and we write X ?_gutY, if there exists an n-by-n upper triangular g-row stochastic matrix R such that X = RY. Define the relation ~_gut as follows. X ~_gutY if X is gut-majorized by Y and Y is gut-majorized by X. The (strong) linear preservers of ?_gut on ?ⁿ and strong linear preservers of this relation on M_n,m have been characterized before. This paper characterizes all (strong) linear preservers and strong linear preservers of ~_gut on ?ⁿ and M_n,m.     

On a new property of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-poised and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> sets

In this paper we consider n-poised planar node sets, as well as more special ones, called G C _n sets. For the latter sets each n-fundamental polynomial is a product of n linear factors as it always holds in the univariate case. A line ? is called k-node line for a node set \(\mathcal X\) if it passes through exactly k nodes. An (n + 1)-node line is called maximal line. In 1982 M. Gasca and J. I. Maeztu conjectured that every G C _n set possesses necessarily a maximal line. Till now the conjecture is confirmed to be true for n ≤ 5. It is well-known that any maximal line M of \(\mathcal X\) is used by each node in \(\mathcal X\setminus M, \)meaning that it is a factor of the fundamental polynomial. In this paper we prove, in particular, that if the Gasca-Maeztu conjecture is true then any n-node line of G C _n set \(\mathcal {X}\) is used either by exactly \(\binom {n}{2}\) nodes or by exactly \(\binom {n-1}{2}\) nodes. We prove also similar statements concerning n-node or (n ? 1)-node lines in more general n-poised sets. This is a new phenomenon in n-poised and G C _n sets. At the end we present a conjecture concerning any k-node line.     

Continuous <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-symmetric distributions

For p > 0, the l _n,p -generalized surface measure on the l _n,p -unit sphere is studied and used for deriving a geometric measure representation for l _n,p -symmetric distributions having a density.     

Structure theorems of <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)-Azumaya algebras

Let k be a field and E(n) be the 2 ⁿ⁺¹-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra over k constructed by Beattie, Dăscălescu and Grünenfelder [J. Algebra, 2000, 225: 743–770]. E(n) is a triangular Hopf algebra with a family of triangular structures R _M parameterized by symmetric matrices M in M _n (k). In this paper, we study the Azumaya algebras in the braided monoidal category $ E_{(n)} \mathcal{M}^{R_M } $ E_{(n)} \mathcal{M}^{R_M } and obtain the structure theorems for Azumaya algebras in the category $ E_{(n)} \mathcal{M}^{R_M } $ E_{(n)} \mathcal{M}^{R_M } , where M is any symmetric n×n matrix over k.     

Structure of the semigroup <Emphasis Type="Italic">OT</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

We study the structure of the semigroup OT _n , which is a unique (up to an isomorphism) R-section of the semigroup T _n . For this semigroup, we describe Green relations, determine regular and nilpotent elements, describe maximal nilpotent subsemigroups, and determine the unique irreducible system of generatrices and maximal subsemigroups.     

Eigenvalues of the Manifold Sp（n）/U（n）

In this paper, we give the eigenvalues of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n). We prove that an eigenvalue λ _s (f ₂, f ₂, …, f _n ) of the Lie group Sp(n), corresponding to the representation with label (f ₁, f ₂, ..., f _n ), is an eigenvalue of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n), if and only if f ₁, f ₂, …, f _n are all even.     

On Geodesic <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>-Convex Sets,Geodesic <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>-Convex Functions and <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>-Epigraphs

In this paper, we introduce a new class of sets and a new class of functions called geodesic E-convex sets and geodesic E-convex functions on a Riemannian manifold. The concept of E-quasiconvex functions on R ⁿ is extended to geodesic E-quasiconvex functions on Riemannian manifold and some of its properties are investigated. Afterwards, we generalize the notion of epigraph called E-epigraph and discuss a characterization of geodesic E-convex functions in terms of its E-epigraph. Some properties of geodesic E-convex sets are also studied.     

Selberg＇s Normal Density Theorem for Automorphic L-Functions for GLm

Let π be an irreducible unitary cuspidal representation of GLm（AQ） with m ≥ 2, and L（s, Tr） the L-function attached to π. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for L（s,π）, we estimate the normal density of primes in short intervals for the automorphic L-function L（s, π）. Our result generalizes the corresponding theorem of Selberg for the Riemann zeta-function.     

Graded central polynomials for the algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>)

Let M _n (K) be the algebra of all n × n matrices over an infinite field K. This algebra has a natural ℤ _n -grading and a natural ℤ-grading. Finite bases for its ℤ _n -graded identities and for its ℤ-graded identities are known. In this paper we describe finite generating sets for the ℤ _n -graded and for the ℤ-graded central polynomials for M _n (K) Partially supported by CNPq 620025/2006-9     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Flat and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-FP-injective modules

In this paper, we study the existence of the n-flat preenvelope and the n-FP-injective cover. We also characterize n-coherent rings in terms of the n-FP-injective and n-flat modules.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Abelian and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-exact categories

We introduce n-abelian and n-exact categories, these are analogs of abelian and exact categories from the point of view of higher homological algebra. We show that n-cluster-tilting subcategories of abelian (resp. exact) categories are n-abelian (resp. n-exact). These results allow to construct several examples of n-abelian and n-exact categories. Conversely, we prove that n-abelian categories satisfying certain mild assumptions can be realized as n-cluster-tilting subcategories of abelian categories. In analogy with a classical result of Happel, we show that the stable category of a Frobenius n-exact category has a natural \((n+2)\)-angulated structure in the sense of Geiß–Keller–Oppermann. We give several examples of n-abelian and n-exact categories which have appeared in representation theory, commutative algebra, commutative and non-commutative algebraic geometry.     

A Bijection for the Alperin Weight Conjecture in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

The Alperin weight conjecture states that if G is a finite group and p is a prime, then the number of irreducible Brauer characters of a group G should be equal to the number of conjugacy classes of p-weights of G. This conjecture is known to be true for the symmetric group S _n , however there is no explicit bijection given between the two sets. In this paper we develop an explicit bijection between the p-weights of S _n and a certain set of partitions that is known to have the same cardinality as the irreducible Brauer characters of S _n . We also develop some properties of this bijection, especially in relation to a certain class of partitions whose corresponding Specht modules over fields of characteristic p are known to be irreducible.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-dense <Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>-semigroups

We investigate E^*-dense semi\-groups as analogues of E-densesemigroupsfor semigroups with zero. We give a characterisation theorem forE^*-dense semigroups whose idempotents form a *-rectangularband. The construction methods of generalised Rees matrix semigroupsare employed to provide examples and illustrations. Our results areanalogous to those of Weipoltshammer for E-dense semigroups.     

Factorization of the r-matrix for the quantum algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">Uq</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">sl</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>)

We propose a method for construction of the general solution of the Yang–Baxter equation with the U _q (sℓ _n ) symmetry algebra. This method is based on the factorization property of the corresponding L-operator. We present a closed-form expression for the universal R-matrix in the form of a difference operator acting on the space of functions of n(n − 1) variables. Bibliography: 16 titles.     

Some isomorphism results for Thompson-like groups <Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

The natural automorphism group of a translation surface is its group of translations. For finite translation surfaces of genus g ≥ 2 the order of this group is naturally bounded in terms of g due to a Riemann–Hurwitz formula argument. In analogy with classical Hurwitz surfaces, we call surfaces which achieve the maximal bound Hurwitz translation surfaces. We study for which g there exist Hurwitz translation surfaces of genus g.
