Field Extensions and Extensions of Linear Differential Operators

Let K R P be a tower of fields, N be a P-module, and : R N be a K-linear differential operator. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the operator has an extension to P, i.e. if these exists a differential operator : P N such that |_R = . The results of this paper were published in Russian in Mat. Zametki 30(2) (1981), 237–248.     

Double Ore Extensions Versus Iterated Ore Extensions

Motivated by the construction of new examples of Artin–Schelter regular algebras of global dimension four, Zhang and Zhang [6 Zhang , J. J. , Zhang , J. ( 2008 ). Double Ore extensions . J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212 ( 12 ): 2668 – 2690 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] introduced an algebra extension A _P [y ₁, y ₂; σ, δ, τ] of A, which they called a double Ore extension. This construction seems to be similar to that of a two-step iterated Ore extension over A. The aim of this article is to describe those double Ore extensions which can be presented as iterated Ore extensions of the form A[y ₁; σ₁, δ₁][y ₂; σ₂, δ₂]. We also give partial answers to some questions posed in Zhang and Zhang [6 Zhang , J. J. , Zhang , J. ( 2008 ). Double Ore extensions . J. Pure Appl. Algebra 212 ( 12 ): 2668 – 2690 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Clifford Extensions

Formulating the construction of Clifford algebras, we introduce the notion of Clifford extensions and show that Clifford extensions are Frobenius extensions. Consequently, Clifford extensions of Auslander–Gorenstein rings are Auslander–Gorenstein rings.     

Topological and Nonstandard Extensions

We introduce a notion of topological extension of a given set X. The resulting class of topological spaces includes the Stone-ech compactification X of the discrete space X, as well as all nonstandard models of X in the sense of nonstandard analysis (when endowed with a natural topology). In this context, we give a simple characterization of nonstandard extensions in purely topological terms, and we establish connections with special classes of ultrafilters whose existence is independent of ZFC.

Extensions and renormalized traces

It has been shown by Nistor (Doc Math J DMV 2:263–295, 1997) that given any extension of associative algebras over \mathbb C{\mathbb C}, the connecting morphism in periodic cyclic homology is compatible, under the Chern–Connes character, with the index morphism in lower algebraic K-theory. The proof relies on the abstract properties of cyclic theory, essentially excision, which does not provide explicit formulas a priori. Avoiding the use of excision, we explain in this article how to get explicit formulas in a wide range of situations. The method is connected to the renormalization procedure introduced in our previous work on the bivariant Chern character for quasihomomorphisms Perrot (J Geom Phys 60:1441–1473, 2010), leading to “local” index formulas in the sense of non-commutative geometry. We illustrate these principles with the example of the classical family index theorem: we find that the characteristic numbers of the index bundle associated to a family of elliptic pseudodifferential operators are expressed in terms of the (fiberwise) Wodzicki residue.     

Categorification and Group Extensions

We review several known categorification procedures, and introduce a functorial categorification of group extensions (Section 4.1) with applications to non-Abelian group cohomology (Section 4.2). The obstruction to the existence of group extensions (Section 4.2.4, Equation (9)) is interpreted as a coboundary condition (Proposition 4.5).     

Convex-Concave Extensions

In this paper we introduce a new notion which we call convex-concave extensions. Convex-concave extensions provide for given nonlinear functions convex lower bound functions and concave upper bound functions, and can be viewed as a generalization of interval extensions. Convex-concave extensions can approximate the shape of a given function in a better way than interval extensions which deliver only constant lower and upper bounds for the range. Therefore, convex-concave extensions can be applied in a more flexible manner. For example, they can be used to construct convex relaxations. Moreover, it is demonstrated that in many cases the overestimation which is due to interval extensions can be drastically reduced. Applications and some numerical examples, including constrained global optimization problems of large scale, are presented.

Maximum Monoreflections and Essential Extensions

An extension operator c in a category is an assignment, to each object A a monomorphism c _A : AcA. Seeking to approximate such a c by a functor, in our earlier paper Maximum monoreflections, we showed that with some hypotheses on the category, and on c, there is a monoreflection (c) maximum beneath c. Thus, in a suitable category of rings, using the complete ring of quotients operator Q, each object A has a maximum functorial ring of quotients (Q)A. But the proof gave no hint of how to calculate the general (c)A's, nor the particular (Q)A's. In the present paper, we give an explicit formula (and separate proof of existence) for the (c)A's, under more complicated hypotheses on the category and assuming the c _A 's are essential monomorphisms. We discuss briefly how the formula proves adequate to calculate the (Q)A's in Archimedean f-rings, and some related and necessary constructs in Archimedean l-groups.     

Quasi-Frobenius Corings and Quasi-Frobenius Extensions

In this article, the notions of a Frobenius pair of functors and Frobenius corings are generalized to an l-QF pair of functors and l-QF corings. We prove that an extension ι:B → A is left quasi-Frobenius if and only if (F ₁,G ₁) is an l-QF pair of functors, where F ₁: _A ? →  _B ? is the restriction of scalars functors, and G ₁ = A? _{B ^?} : _B ? →  _A ? is the induction functor. For an A-coring , we prove that  is an l-QF coring if and only if A → ? is an l-QF extension and _A  is a finitely generated projective modules if and only if (G ₂,F ₂) is an l-QF pair of functors, where G ₂ =  ? _{A ^?} : _A ? →  ? is the induction functor, F ₂:  ? →  _A ? is the forgetful functor, the result of Brzezinski is generalized.     

Closure Operators and Lattice Extensions

For closure operators Γ and Δ on the same set X, we say that Δ is a weak (resp. strong) extension of Γ if Cl(X, Γ) is a complete meet-subsemilattice (resp. complete sublattice) of Cl(X, Δ). This context is used to describe the extensions of a finite lattice that preserve various properties. This revised version was published online in September 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Group Extensions and Hall Polynomials

In this paper, we give two proofs of a formula containing the numbers of automorphisms of an Abelian group, of its subgroups, and of its quotient groups. The first proof is based on the use of the theory of Hall polynomials, while the second one uses extension theory for Abelian groups.__________Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 78, no. 2, 2005, pp. 180–185.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by G.
