Regular modules and quasi-lengths over a 3-Kronecker quiver: using Fibonacci numbers

Let Q be a 3-Kronecker quiver (i.e., two vertices and three arrows having the same starting and ending vertices). The dimension vectors of the indecomposable regular representations X such that |X| = |τ ⁱ X| will be studied using the Fibonacci numbers, where |X| denotes the length of X and τ denotes the Auslander–Reiten translation. The quasi-lengths of the indecomposable regular representations with dimension vectors (m, m) and (2m, m) will also be discussed.     

On weakly τ-quasinormal subgroups of finite groups

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. We say that: (1) H is τ-quasinormal in G if H permutes with all Sylow subgroups Q of G such that (|Q|, |H|) = 1 and (|H|, |Q ^G |) ≠ 1; (2) H is weakly τ-quasinormal in G if G has a subnormal subgroup T such that HT = G and T ∩ H ≦ H _τG , where H _τG is the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of H which are τ-quasinormal in G. Our main result here is the following. Let ℱ be a saturated formation containing all supersoluble groups and let X ≦ E be normal subgroups of a group G such that G/E ∈ ℱ. Suppose that every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of X has a subgroup D such that 1 < |D| < |P| and every subgroup H of P with order |H| = |D| and every cyclic subgroup of P with order 4 (if |D| = 2 and P is non-Abelian) not having a supersoluble supplement in G is weakly τ-quasinormal in G. If X is either E or F* (E), then G ∈ ℱ.     

On banach spaces which containl 1(τ) and types of measures on compact spaces

Two closely related results are presented, one of them concerned with the connection between topological and measure-theoretic properties of compact spaces, the other being a non-separable analogue of a result of Peŀczyński's about Banach spaces containingL ¹. Let τ be a regular cardinal satisfying the hypothesis that κ^ω<τ whenever κ<τ. The following are proved: 1) A compact spaceT carries a Radon measure which is homogeneous of type τ, if and only if there exists a continuous surjection ofT onto [0, 1]^τ. 2) A Banach spaceX has a subspace isomorphic tol ¹(τ) if and only ifX ^∗ has a subspace isomorphic toL ¹({0, 1}^τ). An example is given to show that a more recent result of Rosenthal's about Banach spaces containingl ¹ does not have an obvious transfinite analogue. A second example (answering a question of Rosenthal's) shows that there is a Banach spaceX which contains no copy ofl ¹ (ω₁), while the unit ball ofX ^∗ is not weakly^∗ sequentially compact.     

On the topological types of symmetries of elliptic-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces

LetX be a Riemann surface of genusg. The surfaceX is called elliptic-hyperelliptic if it admits a conformal involutionh such that the orbit spaceX/〈h〉 has genus one. The involutionh is then called an elliptic-hyperelliptic involution. Ifg>5 then the involutionh is unique, see [A]. We call symmetry to any anticonformal involution ofX. LetAut ^±(X) be the group of conformal and anticonformal automorphisms ofX and letσ, τ be two symmetries ofX with fixed points and such that {σ, hσ} and {τ, hτ} are not conjugate inAut ^±(X). We describe all the possible topological conjugacy classes of {σ, σh, τ, τh}. As consequence of our study we obtain that, in the moduli space of complex algebraic curves of genusg (g even >5), the subspace whose elements are the elliptic-hyperelliptic real algebraic curves is not connected. This fact contrasts with the result in [Se]: the subspace whose elements are the hyperelliptic real algebraic curves is connected. The authors are supported by BFM2002-04801.     

Classification of Homomorphisms from C (X) to Simple C*-Algebras of Real Rank Zero

Abstract Let A be a unital simple C*-algebra of real zero, stable rank one, with weakly unperforated K ₀₍ A) and unique normalized quasi-trace τ, and let X be a compact metric space. We show that two monomorphisms φ, ψ : C(X)→A are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if φ and ψ induce the same element in KL(C(X), A) and the two lineal functionals τ∘φ and τ∘ψ are equal. We also show that, with an injectivity condition, an almost multiplicative morphism from C(X) into A with vanishing KK-obstacle is close to a homomorphism.

Embeddings of Bornological Universes

A bornological universe 〈X, τ, ℬ〉 is a topological space 〈X, τ〉 equipped with a bornology ℬ, that is, a cover of X that is hereditary and is closed under finite unions. In this paper, we give three different sets of necessary and sufficient conditions for the universe to be both topologically and bornologically embeddable in ℝ ^Y for some index set Y. When this is possible, Y can be chosen to be a family of continuous coercive functions on X. Dedicated to Arrigo Cellina.     

Symplectic modules over overrings of polynomial rings

Let B be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension d and let S be a set of all monic polynomials in B[X]. Let A be a subring of S ⁻¹ B[X] which contains B[X]. Let P be a symplectic A-module of rank 2n ≥ d, n > 0. Then we prove that ESp (A ² ⊥ P, 〈,〉) acts transitively on Um (A ² ⊕ P).

Homogenous projective factors for actions of semi-simple Lie groups

We analyze the structure of a continuous (or Borel) action of a connected semi-simple Lie group G with finite center and real rank at least 2 on a compact metric (or Borel) space X, using the existence of a stationary measure as the basic tool. The main result has the following corollary: Let P be a minimal parabolic subgroup of G, and K a maximal compact subgroup. Let λ be a P-invariant probability measure on X, and assume the P-action on (X,λ) is mixing. Then either λ is invariant under G, or there exists a proper parabolic subgroup Q⊂G, and a measurable G-equivariant factor map ϕ:(X,ν)→(G/Q,m), where ν=∫ _K kλdk and m is the K-invariant measure on G/Q. Furthermore, The extension has relatively G-invariant measure, namely (X,ν) is induced from a (mixing) probability measure preserving action of Q.

Classification of some <Emphasis Type="Italic">τ</Emphasis>-congruence-free completely regular semigroups

Let τ be an equivalence relation on a semigroup. We introduce τ-congruence-free semigroups, extending the notion of congruence-free semigroups, and classify all completely regular semigroups which are τ-congruence-free, where τ is one of Green’s relations H,L\mathcal{H},\mathcal{L} and D\mathcal{D} respectively. Taking τ as H\mathcal{H} as well as D\mathcal{D}, this settles two open problems posed by M. Petrich and N.R. Reilly.     

Proximal Set-Open Topologies on Partial Maps

Let X, Y be T ₁ topological spaces. A partial map from X to Y is a continuous function f whose domain is a subspace D of X and whose codomain is Y. Let P(X, Y) be the set of partial maps with domains in a fixed class D. In analogy with the global case, we introduce on P(X, Y), whatever be the nature of the domain class D, new function space topologies, the proximal set-open topologies, briefly PSOTs, deriving from general networks on X and proximity on Y by replacing inclusion with strong inclusion. The PSOTs include the already known generalized compact-open topology on partial maps with closed domains. When domains are supposed closed, the network α closed and hereditarily closed and the proximity δ on Y Efremovic, then the PSOT attached to α and δ is uniformizable iff α is a Urysohn family in X. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On moduli of vector bundles on surfaces with negative Kodaira dimension

Summary Here we prove the following result. Fix integersq, τ,a’, b’, a’ _i, 1≤i≤τ,a’, b’, a’ _i, 1≤i≤τ; then there is an integerew such that for every integert≥w, for every algebraically closed fieldK for every smooth complete surfaceX with negative Kodaira dimension, irregularityq andK _X ² =8(1−q)−τ, the following condition holds; ifX→S is a sequence fo τ blowing-downs which gives a relatively minimal model with ruling ρ:S→C, take as basis of the Neron Severi groupNS(X) a smooth rational curve which is the total transform of a fiber ofC, the total transform of a minimal section of ρ and the total transformD _i, 1≤i≤τ, of the exceptional curver; then for everyH andL∈Pic (X) withH ample,H (resp.L) represented by the integersa’, b’, a’ _i, (resp.a’, b’, a’ _i), 1≤i≤τ, in the chosen basis ofNS(X) the moduli spaceM(ZX, 2,H, L, t) of rank 2H-stable vector bundles onX with determinantL andc ₂=t is generically smooth and the number, dimension and ?birational structure? of the irreducible components ofM(X, 2,H, L, t)_red do not depend on the choice ofK andX. Furthermore the birational structure of these irreducible components can be loosely described in terms of the birational structure of the components of suitableM(S, 2,H’, L’, t’)_red withS a relatively minimal model ofX.

Hyperspaces of Banach Spaces with the Attouch—Wets Topology

Let X be an infinite-dimensional Banach space with weight τ. By Cld _AW (X), we denote the hyperspace of nonempty closed sets in X with the Attouch—Wets topology. By Fin _AW (X), Comp _AW (X) and Bdd _AW (X), we denote the subspaces of Cld _AW (X) consisting of finite sets, compact sets and bounded closed sets, respectively. In this paper, it is proved that Fin _AW (X)≈Comp _AW (X)≈ℓ₂(τ)×ℓ₂ ^f ℓandℓBdd _AW (X)≈ℓ₂(2^τ)×ℓ₂ ^f where ≈ means ‘is homeomorphic to’, ℓ₂(τ) is the Hilbert space with weight τ (ℓ₂(ℵ₀)=ℓ₂ the separable Hilbert space) and ℓ₂ ^f ={(x _i ) _iεN εℓ₂∣x _i =0 except for finitely many iεN}.     

Diameter and diametrical pairs of points in ultrametric spaces

Let F(X) be the set of finite nonempty subsets of a set X. We have found the necessary and sufficient conditions under which for a given function τ: F(X) → ℝ there is an ultrametric on X such that τ(A) = diamA for every A ∈ F(X). For finite nondegenerate ultrametric spaces (X, d) it is shown that X together with the subset of diametrical pairs of points of X forms a complete k-partite graph, k ⩾ 2, and, conversely, every finite complete k-partite graph with k ⩾ 2 can be obtained by this way. We use this result to characterize the finite ultrametric spaces (X, d) having the minimal card{(x, y): d(x, y) = diamX, x, y ∈ X} for given card X.     

Lipschitz algebras and peripherally-multiplicative maps

Let X be a compact metric space and let Lip（X） be the Banach algebra of all scalar- valued Lipschitz functions on X, endowed with a natural norm. For each f ∈ Lip（X）, σπ（f） denotes the peripheral spectrum of f. We state that any map Φ from Lip（X） onto Lip（Y） which preserves multiplicatively the peripheral spectrum：
σπ（Φ（f）Φ（g）） = σπ（fg）, A↓f, g ∈ Lip（X）
is a weighted composition operator of the form Φ（f） = τ· （f °φ） for all f ∈ Lip（X）, where τ ： Y → {-1, 1} is a Lipschitz function and φ ： Y→ X is a Lipschitz homeomorphism. As a consequence of this result, any multiplicatively spectrum-preserving surjective map between Lip（X）-algebras is of the form above.     

Efficacy of cones on topological vector spaces and application to common fixed points of multifunctions

Let (E, τ) be a topological vector space and P a cone in E. We shall define a topology τ _P on E so that (E, τ _P ) is a normable topological vector space and P is a normal cone with normal constant M = 1. Then by using the norm, we shall give some results about common fixed points of two multifunctions on cone metric spaces.
