Quasi-uniform completions of partially ordered spaces

In this paper we define partially ordered quasi-uniform spaces (X, , ≤) (PO-quasi-uniform spaces) as those space with a biconvex quasi-uniformity on the poset (X, ≤) and give a construction of a (transitive) biconvex compatible quasi-uniformity on a partially ordered topological space when its topology satisfies certain natural conditions. We also show that under certain conditions on the topology of a PO-quasi-uniform space (X, , ≤), the bicompletion of (X, ) is also a PO-quasi-uniform space ( , ⪯) with a partial order ⪯ on that extends ≤ in a natural way.

Construction of conjugate quadrature filters with specified zeros

Let ℂ denote the complex numbers and denote the ring of complex-valued Laurent polynomial functions on ℂ\{0}. Furthermore, we denote by the subsets of Laurent polynomials whose restriction to the unit circle is real, nonnegative, respectively. We prove that for any two Laurent polynomials , which have no common zeros in ℂ\{0} there exists a pair of Laurent polynomials satisfying the equation Q ₁ P ₁ + Q ₂ P ₂ = 1. We provide some information about the minimal length Laurent polynomials Q ₁ and Q ₂ with these properties and describe an algorithm to compute them. We apply this result to design a conjugate quadrature filter whose zeros contain an arbitrary finite subset Λ⊂ℂ\{0} with the property that for every implies and . This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A Higher-Order Analog of the Linking Number for a Pair of Divergence-Free Vector Fields

Pairs B, of divergence-free vector fields with compact support in are considered higher-order analog M(B, c (of order 3) of the Gauss helicity number H(B, )= , curl(A)=B; (of order 1) is constructed, which is invariant under volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. An integral expression for M is given. A degree-four polynomial m(B(x₁), B(x₂), ( ₁), ( ₂)), x₁, x₂, _{1 2} , is defined, which is symmetric in the first and second pairs of variables separately. M is the average value of m over arbitrary configurations of points. Several conjectures clarifying the geometric meaning of the invariant and relating it to invariants of knots and links are stated.

Holomorphic automorphisms and collective compactness in J*-algebras of operator

Let G be the Banach-Lie group of all holomorphic automorphisms of the open unit ball in a J^*-algebra of operators. Let be the family of all collectively compact subsets W contained in . We show that the subgroup F ⊂ G of all those g ∈ G that preserve the family is a closed Lie subgroup of G and characterize its Banach-Lie algebra. We make a detailed study of F when is a Cartan factor.      

Metrics in the sphere of a C*-module

Given a unital C*-algebra and a right C*-module over , we consider the problem of finding short smooth curves in the sphere = {x ∈ : 〈x, x〉 = 1}. Curves in are measured considering the Finsler metric which consists of the norm of at each tangent space of . The initial value problem is solved, for the case when is a von Neumann algebra and is selfdual: for any element x ₀ ∈ and any tangent vector ν at x ₀, there exists a curve γ(t) = e ^tZ (x ₀), Z ∈ , Z* = −Z and ∥Z∥ ≤ π, such that γ(0) = x ₀ and (0) = ν, which is minimizing along its path for t ∈ [0, 1]. The existence of such Z is linked to the extension problem of selfadjoint operators. Such minimal curves need not be unique. Also we consider the boundary value problem: given x ₀, x ₁ ∈ , find a curve of minimal length which joins them. We give several partial answers to this question. For instance, let us denote by f ₀ the selfadjoint projection I − x ₀ ⊗ x ₀, if the algebra f ₀ f ₀ is finite dimensional, then there exists a curve γ joining x ₀ and x ₁, which is minimizing along its path.      

Invariant and quasi-invariant transformations of measures that correspond to stable processes with independent increments

Let ξ(t), t ∈ [0, 1], be a strictly stable process with an index of stability α ∈ (0, 2). By we denote the law of ξ in the Skorokhod space [0,1]. For arbitrary strictly stable process ξ, we construct a semigroup of transformations of [0, 1] for which the measure is quasi-invariant. For strictly stable processes with positive and negative jumps, we construct a group of transformations of [0, 1] for which the measure is quasi-invariant. In the symmetric case, this group is a group of invariant transformations. Bibliography: 10 titles. __________ Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 339, 2006, pp. 135–149.     

Isometries and direct decompositions of pseudo MV-algebras

In the paper isometries in pseudo MV-algebras are investigated. It is shown that for every isometry f in a pseudo MV-algebra = (A, ⊕, ⁻, ^∼, 0, 1) there exists an internal direct decomposition of with commutative such that and for each x ∈ A. On the other hand, if is an internal direct decomposition of a pseudo MV-algebra = (A, ⊕, ⁻, ^∼, 0, 1) with commutative, then the mapping g: A → A defined by is an isometry in and .      

Transformation of measures generated by jump Lévy processes

Furstenberg family and chaos

A Furstenberg family F is a family,consisting of some subsets of the set of positive integers,which is hereditary upwards,i.e.A■B and A∈F imply B∈F.For a given system (i.e.,a pair of a complete metric space and a continuous self-map of the space) and for a Furstenberg family F, the definition of F-scrambled pairs of points in the space has been given,which brings the well-known scrambled pairs in Li-Yorke sense and the scrambled pairs in distribution sense to be F-scrambled pairs corresponding respectively to suitable Furstenberg family F.In the present paper we explore the basic properties of the set of F-scrambled pairs of a system.The generically F-chaotic system and the generically strongly F-chaotic system are defined.A criterion for a generically strongly F-chaotic system is showed.     

On the Schwarz reflection principle for monogenic functions

Let ∑ be either an oriented hyperplane or the unit sphere in , let be open and connected and let be an open and connected domain in such that . If in is a null solution of the Dirac operator (also called a monogenic function in ) which is continuously extendable to , then conditions upon are given enabling the monogenic extension of across . In such a way Schwarz reflection type principles for monogenic functions are established in the Spin (1) and Spin cases. The Spin (1) case includes the classical Schwarz reflection principle for holomorphic functions in the plane. The Spin case deals with so-called “half boundary value problems” for the Dirac operator.

Stability of the topological pressure for piecewise monotonic maps underC 1-perturbations

Assume thatX is a finite union of closed intervals and consider aC ¹-mapX→ℝ for which {c∈X: T′c=0} is finite. Set . Fix ann ∈ ℕ. For ε>0, theC ¹-map is called an ε-perturbation ofT if is a piecewise monotonic map with at mostn intervals of monotonicity and is ε-close toT in theC ¹-topology. The influence of small perturbations ofT on the dynamical system (R(T),T) is investigated. Under a certain condition on the continuous functionf:X → ℝ, the topological pressure is lower semi-continuous. Furthermore, the topological pressure is upper semi-continuous for every continuous functionf:X → ℝ. If (R(T),T) has positive topological entropy and a unique measure μ of maximal entropy, then every sufficiently small perturbation ofT has a unique measure of maximal entropy, and the map is continuous atT in the weak star-topology.

INJECTIVE MAPS ON PRIMITIVE SEQUENCES OVER Z/（p^e）

Let Z/(pe) be the integer residue ring modulo pe with p an odd prime and integer e ≥ 3. For a sequence (a) over Z/(pe), there is a unique p-adic decomposition (a) = (a)0 (a)1·p … (a)e-1 ·pe-1, where each (a)i can be regarded as a sequence over Z/(p), 0 ≤ i ≤ e - 1. Let f(x) be a primitive polynomial over Z/(pe) and G' (f(x), pe) the set of all primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe). For μ(x) ∈ Z/(p)[x] with deg(μ(x)) ≥ 2 and gcd(1 deg(μ(x)),p- 1) = 1,set ψe-1 (x0, x1,…, xe-1) = xe-1·[ μ(xe-2) ηe-3 (x0, x1,…, xe-3)] ηe-2 (x0, x1,…, xe-2),which is a function of e variables over Z/(p). Then the compressing map ψe-1: G'(f(x),pe) → (Z/(p))∞,(a) (→)ψe-1((a)0, (a)1,… ,(a)e-1) is injective. That is, for (a), (b) ∈ G' (f(x), pe), (a) = (b) if and only if ψe - 1 ((a)0, (a)1,… , (a)e - 1) =ψe - 1 ((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1). As for the case of e = 2, similar result is also given. Furthermore, if functions ψe-1 and ψe-1 over Z/(p) are both of the above form and satisfy ψe-1((a)0,(a)1,… ,(a)e-1) = ψe-1((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1) for (a),(b) ∈ G'(f(x),pe), the relations between (a) and (b), ψe-1 and ψe-1 are discussed.
