Degenerations and Stable Homomorphisms #

Let Λ be an algebra over an algebraically closed field. We compare the partial order ≤ _hom in the module category of Λ with a certain relation ≤ _stab in the stable module category of Λ. Both relations coincide if Λ is hereditary. Starting with any non-hereditary representation-finite algebra Λ, we construct a representation-finite algebra Λ′, obtained by a covering of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of Λ, such that for Λ′ both relations do not coincide.     

On the Hochschild (Co)Homology of Quantum Exterior Algebras

We compute the Hochschild cohomology and homology of the algebra Λ = k 〈x, y〉/(x ², xy + qyx, y ²) with coefficients in ₁ Λ_ψ for every degree preserving k-algebra automorphism ψ : Λ → Λ. As a result we obtain several interesting examples of the homological behavior of Λ as a bimodule.     

The spin dependence of an weak interaction in the decay of hypernuclei

From an analysis of 468 hypernuclei (HFs) with ranges > 120 μm, the non-mesic to π^?-mesic ratio (Q^?) for_ΛHe and_ΛHe⁵ HFs was found to be 1.37 ±0.17 and 1.58± 0.20 respectively. This data, together with results on_ΛHe⁴ and heavy hypernuclei, has been used to deduce spin dependences for Λⁿ and ΛP weak interactions in decay of hypernuclei. It is found that the rates for triplet and singlet interactions between Λ and neutron are 22 Γ_Λ and 11 Γ_Λ and for Λ and proton are 8.2 Γ_Λ and 5.5 Γ_Λ respectively, where Γ_Λ is the decay rate of Λ. The total decay rates for ΛHe⁴ and_ΛHe⁵ are 1.28 Γ_Λ and 0.99 Γ_Λ and the non-mesic decay rates are 0.17 Γ_Λ and 0.51 Γ_Λ respectively.     

Properties of the false vacuum as a quantum unstable state

We analyze properties of unstable vacuum states from the standpoint of quantum theory. Some suggestions can be found in the literature that some false (unstable) vacuum states can survive up to times when their survival probability takes a nonexponential form. At asymptotically large times, the survival probability as a function of the time t has an inverse power-law form. We show that in this time region, the energy of false vacuum states tends to the energy of the true vacuum state as 1/t ² as t→∞. This means that the energy density in the unstable vacuum state and hence also the cosmological constant Λ = Λ(t) should have analogous properties. The conclusion is that Λ in a universe with an unstable vacuum should have the form of a sum of the “bare” cosmological constant and a term of the type 1/t ²: Λ(t) ≡ Λ_bare + d/t ² (where Λ_bare is the cosmological constant for a universe with the true vacuum).     

On the Multiplicity Problem and the Isomorphism Problem for the Four Subspace Algebra

Let Λ be the four subspace algebra. We show that for any Λ-module M there exists an algorithm (up to the problem of finding roots of the so-called characteristic polynomial of M) with relatively low polynomial complexity of determining multiplicities of all direct summands of M. Moreover, we give a fully algorithmic criterion for deciding if two Λ-modules M and N are isomorphic.     

Static Subcategories of the Module Category of a Finite-Dimensional Hereditary Algebra

Let k be a field, Λ a finite-dimensional hereditary k-algebra, and modΛ the category of all finite-dimensional Λ-modules. We are going to characterize the representation type of Λ (tame or wild) in terms of the possible subcategories statM of all M-static modules, where M is an indecomposable Λ-module.     

On the amicability of orthogonal designs

Although it is known that the maximum number of variables in two amicable orthogonal designs of order 2ⁿp, where p is an odd integer, never exceeds 2n+2, not much is known about the existence of amicable orthogonal designs lacking zero entries that have 2n+2 variables in total. In this paper we develop two methods to construct amicable orthogonal designs of order 2ⁿp where p odd, with no zero entries and with the total number of variables equal or nearly equal to 2n+2. In doing so, we make a surprising connection between the two concepts of amicable sets of matrices and an amicable pair of matrices. With the recent discovery of a link between the theory of amicable orthogonal designs and space‐time codes, this paper may have applications in space‐time codes. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TOPOLOGICAL DECOMPOSITIONS OF THE DUALS OF LOCALLY CONVEX VECTOR SEQUENCE SPACES

ABSTRACT

Let Λ be a scalar sequence space which is endowed with a normal locally convex topology. For a separated locally convex space E we denote by Λ(E) the vector space of all sequences g in E for which (>g(i),a<) ε Λ for all a ε E'. We define a locally convex topology ζ on Λ(E) and then characterize the dual of the ζ-closure (denoted by Λ_c (E)) of the finite sequences in Λ(E). We demonstrate the existence of a continuous projection from Λ(E)' onto a subspace of Λ(E)' which is isomorphic to Λ_c(E)'. Furthermore, we find a topological decomposition of Λ^α _c (E)”, where one of the factors is isomorphic to Λ;^α(E). These results are then applied to find necessary and sufficient conditions for Λ^α(E) to be semi-reflexive. A parallel development yields the same results for the space Λ(E') of all sequences f in E' for which (>x, f(i)<) ε Λ; for all x ε E, when E is barrelled. We conclude the paper by application of the results on vector sequence spaces to spaces of operators—including for instance, necessary and sufficient conditions for L_b (E,Λ;) and L_b (Λ,E) to be semi-reflexive.     

A class of group divisible 3‐designs and their applications

In this article, we first show that a group divisible 3‐design with block sizes from {4, 6}, index unity and group‐type 2^m exists for every integer m≥ 4 with the exception of m = 5. Such group divisible 3‐designs play an important role in our subsequent complete solution to the existence problem for directed H‐designs DH_λ(m, r, 4, 3)s. We also consider a way to construct optimal codes capable of correcting one deletion or insertion using the directed H‐designs. In this way, the optimal single‐deletion/insertion‐correcting codes of length 4 can be constructed for all even alphabet sizes. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 17: 136–146, 2009     

The torsion-free part of the Ziegler spectrum of orders over Dedekind domains

We study the R-torsion-free part of the Ziegler spectrum of an order Λ over a Dedekind domain R. We underline and comment on the role of lattices over Λ. We describe the torsion-free part of the spectrum when Λ is of finite lattice representation type.     

Constructing Minimal Projective Resolutions

Let Λ be a monomial algebra. For any Λ-module M, we describe graphically its minimal projective resolution as a weighted graph Δ(M). If M is finitely generated we give two algorithms for computing Δ(M). We also give a short computation-like argument to reprove a famous Syzygy Theorem.     

Approximate inverse meets local tomography

Local or lambda tomography reconstructs Λƒ which has the same discontinuities as the searched‐for density distribution ƒ. Computing Λƒ, however, requires only local tomographic measurements. Local tomography is usually implemented by a filtered backprojection algorithm (FBA). In the present article we design reconstruction filters for the FBA such that Λ^2m+1ƒ will be reconstructed for a given m∈ℕ₀. Moreover, we prove convergence and convergence rates for the FBA as the discretization step size goes to zero. To this end we express the FBA in the framework of approximate inverse. Based on our analysis we further propose a scheme which yields a proper scaling of the reconstruction filters. Numerical experiments illustrate the analytic results.

Study of the Free Streaming Operator in Slab Geometry in Dependence of the Boundary Conditions

We study the free streaming operator T_∧ in a slab domain with boundary conditions described by a linear matrix operator Λ acting between the ‘incoming’ and ‘outgoing’ particle fluxes. Under suitable assumptions on the entries of Λ, it is proved that the resolvent operator of T_∧ is positive. It is proved also that T_∧ is the generator of a positive strongly continuous semigroup, whose type depends on the norm of the entries of Λ. Some examples are given. In particular the case of Maxwell type boundary conditions is studied and the location of the spectrum of T_∧ is improved. © 1997 by B. G. Teubner Stuttgart – John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Math. Meth. Appl.

POLYNOMIALS RELATED TO HALL NUMBERS

Let Λ be a finite dimensional algebra of finite representation type over a finite field k. For any modules A, B and Pin mod Λ with P projective, we prove that there exists a polynomial ? ^B _(P)Λ over Z whose evaluation at |E| for any conservative finite field extension E of Λ is the sum of Hall numbers F ^{B E} _{C ^E A ^E} where C ^E runs through isoclasses in mod Λ ^E and P ^E is the projective cover of C ^E . As a consequence of this result and its dual version, Hall polynomials ? ^E _CA exist when C or A is semisimple. As applications of the main result, we obtain the existence of Hall polynomials for Nakayama algebras and some selfinjective algebras.

     

A note on the differentiable structure of generalized idempotents

For a fixed n > 2, we study the set Λ of generalized idempotents, which are operators satisfying T ⁿ⁺¹ = T. Also the subsets Λ _? , of operators such that T ^n?1 is the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse of T, and Λ*, of operators such that T ^n?1 = T* (known as generalized projections) are studied. The local smooth structure of these sets is examined.     

Idempotent Ideals and the Igusa-Todorov Functions

Let Λ be an artin algebra and \(\mathfrak {A}\) a two-sided idempotent ideal of Λ, that is, \(\mathfrak {A}\) is the trace of a projective Λ-module P in Λ. We consider the categories of finitely generated modules over the associated rings \({\Lambda }/\mathfrak {A}, {\Lambda }\) and Γ = End_Λ(P) ^{o p} and study the relationship between their homological properties via the Igusa-Todorov functions.     

Complete cohomological functors on groups

If Λ is a ring and A is a Λ-module, then a terminal completion of Ext^1_Λ(A, ) is shown to exist if, and only if, Ext^j_Λ(A, P)=0 for all projective Λ-modules P and all sufficiently large j. Such a terminal completion exists for every A if, and only if, the supremum of the injective lengths of all projective Λ-modules, silp Λ, is finite. Analogous results hold for Ext^1_Λ(,A) and involve spli Λ, the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective Λ-modules. When Λ is an integral group ring $\text{Z}$G, spli$\text{Z}$G is finite implies silp $\text{Z}$G is finite. Also the finiteness of spli is preserved under group extensions. If G is a countable soluble group, the spli $\text{Z}$G is finite if, and only if, the Hirsch number of G is finite.     

Syzygies and Diagonal Resolutions for Dihedral Groups

Let G be a finite group with integral group ring Λ =Z[G]. The syzygies Ω_r(Z) are the stable classes of the intermediate modules in a free Λ-resolution of the trivial module. They are of significance in the cohomology theory of G via the “co-represention theorem” H^r(G, N) = Hom_𝒟er(Ω_r(Z), N). We describe the Ω_r(Z) explicitly for the dihedral groups D_4n+2, so allowing the construction of free resolutions whose differentials are diagonal matrices over Λ.     

Invariants of Isospectral Deformations and Spectral Rigidity

We introduce a notion of weak isospectrality for continuous deformations. Consider the Laplace–Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with Robin boundary conditions. Given a Kronecker invariant torus Λ of the billiard ball map with a Diophantine vector of rotation we prove that certain integrals on Λ involving the function in the Robin boundary conditions remain constant under weak isospectral deformations. To this end we construct continuous families of quasimodes associated with Λ. We obtain also isospectral invariants of the Laplacian with a real-valued potential on a compact manifold for continuous deformations of the potential. These invariants are obtained from the first Birkhoff invariant of the microlocal monodromy operator associated to Λ. As an application we prove spectral rigidity of the Robin boundary conditions in the case of Liouville billiard tables of dimension two in the presence of a (?/2?)² group of symmetries.     

AR quivers, exceptional sequences and algorithms in derived Hall algebras

Consider the canonical isomorphism between the positive part U ⁺ of the quantum group U _q (g) and the Hall algebra H(Λ), where the semisimple Lie algebra g and the finite-dimensional hereditary algebra Λ share a Dynkin diagram. Chen and Xiao have given two algorithms to decompose the root vectors into linear combinations of monomials of Chevalley generators of U ⁺, respectively induced by the braid group action on the exceptional sequences of Λ-modules and the structure of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of Λ. In this paper, we obtain the corresponding algorithms for the derived Hall algebra DH(Λ), which was introduced by Toën. We show that both algorithms are applicable to the lattice algebra and Heisenberg double in the sense of Kapranov. All the new recursive formulae have the same flavor with the quantum Serre relations.
