-summand vectors in Banach spaces

The aim of this paper is to study the set of all -summand vectors of a real Banach space . We provide a characterization of -summand vectors in smooth real Banach spaces and a general decomposition theorem which shows that every real Banach space can be decomposed as an -sum of a Hilbert space and a Banach space without nontrivial -summand vectors. As a consequence, we generalize some results and we obtain intrinsic characterizations of real Hilbert spaces.

     

Hausdorff dimension and conformal measures of Feigenbaum Julia sets

We show that contrary to anticipation suggested by the dictionary between rational maps and Kleinian groups and by the ``hairiness phenomenon', there exist many Feigenbaum Julia sets whose Hausdorff dimension is strictly smaller than two. We also prove that for any Feigenbaum Julia set, the Poincaré critical exponent is equal to the hyperbolic dimension . Moreover, if , then . In the stationary case, the last statement can be reversed: if , then . We also give a new construction of conformal measures on that implies that they exist for any , and analyze their scaling and dissipativity/conservativity properties.

Let be a smooth scheme of finite type over a field , let be a locally free -bimodule of rank , and let be the non-commutative symmetric algebra generated by . We construct an internal functor, , on the category of graded right -modules. When has rank 2, we prove that is Gorenstein by computing the right derived functors of . When is a smooth projective variety, we prove a version of Serre Duality for using the right derived functors of .

Minkowski's conjecture, well-rounded lattices and topological dimension

Let be the diagonal subgroup, and identify with the space of unimodular lattices in . In this paper we show that the closure of any bounded orbit

meets the set of well-rounded lattices. This assertion implies Minkowski's conjecture for and yields bounds for the density of algebraic integers in totally real sextic fields.

The proof is based on the theory of topological dimension, as reflected in the combinatorics of open covers of and .

     

On the number of -equivalent non-isomorphic models

We prove that if is consistent then is consistent with the following statement: There is for every a model of cardinality which is -equivalent to exactly non-isomorphic models of cardinality . In order to get this result we introduce ladder systems and colourings different from the ``standard' counterparts, and prove the following purely combinatorial result: For each prime number and positive integer it is consistent with that there is a ``good' ladder system having exactly pairwise nonequivalent colourings.

     

Fundamental groups of moduli and the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group

Let denote the moduli space of Riemann spheres with ordered marked points. In this article we define the group of quasi-special symmetric outer automorphisms of the algebraic fundamental group for all to be the group of outer automorphisms respecting the conjugacy classes of the inertia subgroups of and commuting with the group of outer automorphisms of obtained by permuting the marked points. Our main result states that is isomorphic to the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group for all .

Geometry of chain complexes and outer automorphisms under derived equivalence

The two main theorems proved here are as follows: If is a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, the identity component of the algebraic group of outer automorphisms of is invariant under derived equivalence. This invariance is obtained as a consequence of the following generalization of a result of Voigt. Namely, given an appropriate geometrization of the family of finite -module complexes with fixed sequence of dimensions and an ``almost projective' complex , there exists a canonical vector space embedding

where is the pertinent product of general linear groups acting on , tangent spaces at are denoted by , and is identified with its image in the derived category .

     

Frobenius distributions of Drinfeld modules over finite fields

We express the weighted class number of Drinfeld -modules of rank two with given characteristic polynomial over the finite field , where as an infinite product of local terms. Some auxiliary results of independent interest about characteristic polynomials of Drinfeld modules are given.

     

Condensations of projective sets onto compacta

For a coanalytic-complete or -complete subspace of a Polish space we prove that there exists a continuous bijection of onto the Hilbert cube . This extends results of Pytkeev. As an application of our main theorem we give an answer to some questions of Arkhangelskii and Christensen.

Under the assumption of Projective Determinacy we also give some generalizations of these results to higher projective classes.

     

Forcing a mutual stationarity property in cofinality

We show that the consistency strength, relative to the system , of the mutual stationarity property is equal to the existence of one measurable cardinal. We also discuss mutual stationarity for some other configurations of small cardinal parameters.

     

On Bredon homology of elementary amenable groups

We show that for elementary amenable groups the Hirsch length is equal to the Bredon homological dimension. This also implies that countable elementary amenable groups admit a finite-dimensional model for of dimension less than or equal to the Hirsch length plus one. Some remarks on groups of type are also made.

Discrepancy, separation and Riesz energy of finite point sets on the unit sphere

For $d \geqslant 2,$ we consider asymptotically equidistributed sequences of $\mathbb S^d$ codes, with an upper bound $\operatorname{\boldsymbol{\delta}}$ on spherical cap discrepancy, and a lower bound Δ on separation. For such sequences, if 0?<?s?<?d, then the difference between the normalized Riesz s energy of each code, and the normalized s-energy double integral on the sphere is bounded above by $\operatorname{O}\big(\operatorname{\boldsymbol{\delta}}^{1-s/d}\,\Delta^{-s}\,N^{-s/d}\big),$ where N is the number of code points. For well separated sequences of spherical codes, this bound becomes $\operatorname{O}\big(\operatorname{\boldsymbol{\delta}}^{1-s/d}\big).$ We apply these bounds to minimum energy sequences, sequences of well separated spherical designs, sequences of extremal fundamental systems, and sequences of equal area points.

On Herstein's Lie map conjectures, I

We describe surjective Lie homomorphisms from Lie ideals of skew elements of algebras with involution onto noncentral Lie ideals (factored by their centers) of skew elements of prime algebras with involution, provided that and is not PI of low degree. This solves the last remaining open problem of Herstein on Lie isomorphisms module cases of PI rings of low degree. A more general problem on maps preserving any polynomial is also discussed.

Triangular Toeplitz contractions and Cowen sets for analytic polynomials

Let be the collection of lower triangular Toeplitz matrices and let be the collection of lower triangular Toeplitz contractions. We show that is compact and strictly convex, in the spectral norm, with respect to ; that is, is compact, convex and , where and denote the topological boundary with respect to and the set of extreme points, respectively. As an application, we show that the reduced Cowen set for an analytic polynomial is strictly convex; more precisely, if is an analytic polynomial and if , then is strictly convex. This answers a question of C. Cowen for the case of analytic polynomials.
