Toral rank conjecture for moment-angle complexes

We consider an operation K ? L(K) on the set of simplicial complexes, which we call the “doubling operation.” This combinatorial operation was recently introduced in toric topology in an unpublished paper of Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen and Gitler on generalized moment-angle complexes (also known as K-powers). The main property of the doubling operation is that the moment-angle complex can be identified with the real moment-angle complex for the double L(K). By way of application, we prove the toral rank conjecture for the spaces by providing a lower bound for the rank of the cohomology ring of the real moment-angle complexes . This paper can be viewed as a continuation of the author’s previous paper, where the doubling operation for polytopes was used to prove the toral rank conjecture for moment-angle manifolds.     

Martindale rings and H-module algebras with invariant characteristic polynomials

Under study is the category of the possibly noncommutative H-module algebras that are mapped homomorphically onto commutative algebras. The H-equivariant Martindale ring of quotients Q _H (A) is shown to be a finite-dimensional Frobenius algebra over the subfield of invariant elements Q _H (A) ^H and also the classical ring of quotients for A. We introduce a full subcategory of such that the algebras in are integral over its subalgebras of invariants and construct a functor ?? , which is left adjoined to the inclusion ?? .     

Cofiniteness with respect to a Serre subcategory

Let Φ be a system of ideals in a commutative Noetherian ring R, and let be a Serre subcategory of R-modules. We set $$ H_\Phi ^i ( \cdot , \cdot ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\overrightarrow {\mathfrak{b} \in \Phi } } Ext_R^i (R/\mathfrak{b}| \otimes R \cdot , \cdot ). $$ . Suppose that a is an ideal of R, and M and N are two R-modules such that M is finitely generated and N ∈ . It is shown that if the functor $ D_\Phi ( \cdot ) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\overrightarrow {\mathfrak{b} \in \Phi } } Hom_R (\mathfrak{b}, \cdot ) $ is exact, then, for any $ \mathfrak{b} \in \Phi ,Ext_R^j (R/\mathfrak{b},H_\Phi ^i (M,N)) $ ∈ for all i, j ≥ 0. It is also proved that if there is a nonnegative integer t such that $ H_\mathfrak{a}^i (M,N) $ ∈ for all i < t, then $ Hom_R (R/\mathfrak{a},H_\mathfrak{a}^t (M,N)) $ ∈ , provided that is contained in the class of weakly LaskerianR-modules. Finally, it is shown that if L is an R-module and t is the infimum of the integers i such that $ H_\mathfrak{a}^i (L) $ ∈ , then $ Ext_R^j (R/\mathfrak{a},H_\mathfrak{a}^t (M,L)) $ ∈ if and only if $ Ext_R^j (R/\mathfrak{a},Hom_R (M,H_\mathfrak{a}^t (L))) $ ∈ for all j ≥ 0.     

Upper estimates for the approximation numbers of the generalized Laplace transform

A Laplace-transform-type operator acting in the Lebesgue spaces of real functions on the half-axis is considered. Sufficient conditions under which belongs to some Schattentype classes are found. Upper asymptotic estimates for the approximation numbers of are obtained.     

On the class of groups with pronormal hall π-subgroups

Given a set π of prime numbers, we define the class of all finite groups in which Hall π-subgroups exist and are pronormal by analogy with the Hall classes , , and . We study whether is closed under the main class-theoretic closure operations. In particular, we establish that is a saturated formation.     

On the isomorphic mapping of weighted spaces by an elliptic operator with degeneration on the domain boundary

We consider the first boundary value problem for a second-order elliptic equation with degeneration on the entire twice continuously differentiable boundary of a two-dimensional domain Ω; this problem has a generalized solution in the weighted space . We find conditions ensuring that the generalized solution belongs to the narrower space , which permits obtaining estimates for the convergence rate of an approximate finite-element solution to the exact solution in the norms of the spaces and L ₂(Ω).     

On additivity of mappings on measurable functions

We prove the additivity of regular l-additive mappings T: → [0,+∞] of a hereditary cone in the space of measurable functions on a measure space. Some examples are constructed of non-d-additive l-additive mappings T. The monotonicity of l-additive mappings T: → [0,+∞] is established. The examples are constructed of nonmonotone d-additive mappings T. Let (S, +) be a commutative cancellation semigroup. Given a mapping T: → S, we prove the equivalence of additivity and l-additivity. It is shown that a strongly regular 2-homogeneous l-subadditive mapping T is subadditive. All results are new even in case = L _∞ ⁺ .     

On the geometry of normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifolds

Normal locally conformal almost cosymplectic structures (or -structures) are considered. A full set of structure equations is obtained, and the components of the Riemannian curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor are calculated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the constancy of the curvature of such manifolds are found. In particular, it is shown that a normal -manifold which is a spatial form has nonpositive curvature. The constancy of ΦHS-curvature is studied. Expressions for the components of the Weyl tensor on the space of the associated G-structure are obtained. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a normal -manifold to coincide with the conformal plane are found. Finally, locally symmetric normal -manifolds are considered.     

Peierls substitution and the Maslov operator method

We consider a periodic Schrödinger operator in a constant magnetic field with vector potential A(x). A version of adiabatic approximation for quantum mechanical equations with rapidly varying electric potentials and weak magnetic fields is the Peierls substitution which, in appropriate dimensionless variables, permits writing the pseudodifferential equation for the new auxiliary function: , where is the corresponding energy level of some auxiliary Schrödinger operator, assumed to be nondegenerate, and µ is a small parameter. In the present paper, we use V. P. Maslov’s operator method to show that, in the case of a constant magnetic field, such a reduction in any perturbation order leads to the equation with the operator represented as a function depending only on the operators of kinetic momenta $ \hat P_j = - i\mu \partial _{x_j } + A_j \left( x \right) $ .     

Notes on derivations on algebras of measurable operators

Derivations on algebras of (unbounded) operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra ? are considered. Let be one of the algebras of measurable operators, of locally measurable operators, and of τ-measurable operators. The von Neumann algebras ? of type I for which any derivation on is inner are completely described in terms of properties of central projections. It is also shown that any derivation on the algebra LS(?) of all locally measurable operators affiliated with a properly infinite von Neumann algebra ? vanishes on the center LS(?).     

Coefficient characterizations and sections for some univalent functions

Let (α) denote the class of locally univalent normalized analytic functions f in the unit disk |z| < 1 satisfying the condition $Re\left( {1 + \frac{{zf''(z)}} {{f'(z)}}} \right) < 1 + \frac{\alpha } {2}for|z| < 1 $ and for some 0 < α ≤ 1. We firstly prove sharp coefficient bounds for the moduli of the Taylor coefficients a _n of f ∈ (α). Secondly, we determine the sharp bound for the Fekete-Szegö functional for functions in (α) with complex parameter λ. Thirdly, we present a convolution characterization for functions f belonging to (α) and as a consequence we obtain a number of sufficient coefficient conditions for f to belong to (α). Finally, we discuss the close-to-convexity and starlikeness of partial sums of f ∈ (α). In particular, each partial sum s _n (z) of f ∈ (1) is starlike in the disk |z| ≤ 1/2 for n ≥ 11. Moreover, for f ∈ (1), we also have Re(s′ _n (z)) > 0 in |z| ≤ 1/2 for n ≥ 11.     

On the relation between the darlington realizations of matrix functions from the Carathéodory class and their J p,r -inner SI-dilations

The paper is devoted to establishing a two-sided relation between the Darlington realizations of matrix functions from the Carathéodory class and their J _p,r -inner SI-dilations.     

Topological spaces compact with respect to a set of filters

If is a family of filters over some set I, a topological space X is sequencewise -compact if for every I-indexed sequence of elements of X there is such that the sequence has an F-limit point. Countable compactness, sequential compactness, initial κ-compactness, [λ; µ]-compactness, the Menger and Rothberger properties can all be expressed in terms of sequencewise -compactness for appropriate choices of . We show that sequencewise -compactness is preserved under taking products if and only if there is a filter such that sequencewise -compactness is equivalent to F-compactness. If this is the case, and there exists a sequencewise -compact T ₁ topological space with more than one point, then F is necessarily an ultrafilter. The particular case of sequential compactness is analyzed in detail.     

Zeta functions in triangulated categories

We prove the 2-out-of-3 property for the rationality of the motivic zeta function in distinguished triangles in Voevodsky’s category . As an application, we show the rationality of motivic zeta functions for all varieties whose motives are in the thick triangulated monoidal subcategory generated by motives of quasi-projective curves in . Together with a result due to P. O’sullivan, this also gives an example of a variety whose motive is not finite-dimensional while the motivic zeta function is rational.     

The Agnihotri—Woodward—Belkale polytope and Klyachko cones

The Agnihotri—Woodward—Belkale polytope Δ (resp., the Klyachko cone ) is the set of solutions of the multiplicative (resp., additive) Horn problem, i.e., the set of triples of spectra of special unitary (resp. traceless Hermitian) n × n matrices satisfying AB = C (resp. A + B = C). The set is the tangent cone of Δ at the origin. The group G = ? _n ⊕ ? _n acts naturally on Δ. In this note, we report on a computer calculation showing that Δ coincides with the intersection of , g ∈ G, for n ≤ 14 but does not coincide with it for n = 15. Our motivation was an attempt to understand how to solve the multiplicative Horn problem in practice for given conjugacy classes in SU(n).     

Approximation complexity of tensor product-type random fields with heavy spectrum

We consider a sequence of Gaussian tensor product-type random fields , where and are all positive eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance operator of the process X ₁, are standard Gaussian random variables, and is a subset of positive integers. For each d ∈ ?, the sample paths of X _d almost surely belong to L ₂([0, 1] ^d ) with norm ∥·∥_2,d . The tuples , are the eigenpairs of the covariance operator of X _d . We approximate the random fields X _d , d ∈ , by the finite sums X _d ⁽ⁿ⁾ corresponding to the n maximal eigenvalues λ _k , . We investigate the logarithmic asymptotics of the average approximation complexity $n_d^{pr} (\varepsilon ,\delta ): = \min \left\{ {n \in \mathbb{N}:\mathbb{P}(\left\| {X_d - X_d^{(n)} } \right\|_{2,d}^2 > \varepsilon ^2 \mathbb{E}\left\| {X_d } \right\|_{2,d}^2 ) \leqslant \delta } \right\},$ and the probabilistic approximation complexity $n_d^{avg} (\varepsilon ): = \min \left\{ {n \in \mathbb{N}:\mathbb{E}\left\| {X_d - X_d^{(n)} } \right\|_{2,d}^2 \leqslant \varepsilon ^2 \mathbb{E}\left\| {X_d } \right\|_{2,d}^2 } \right\}$ , as the parametric dimension d → ∞ the error threshold ? ∈ (0, 1) is fixed, and the confidence level δ = δ(d, ?) is allowed to approach zero. Supplementing recent results of M.A. Lifshits and E.V. Tulyakova, we consider the case where the sequence decreases regularly and sufficiently slowly to zero, which has not been previously studied.     

Variations on ω-boundedness

Let be a property (or, equivalently, a class) of topological spaces. A space X is called -bounded if every subspace of X with (or in) has compact closure. Thus, countable-bounded has been known as ω-bounded and (σ-compact)-bounded as strongly ω-bounded. In this paper we present a systematic study of the interrelations of these two known “boundedness” concepts with -boundedness where is one of the further countability properties weakly Lindelöf, Lindelöf, hereditarily Lindelöf, and ccc.     

On minimal non- -groups

A finite group G is called an J N J-group if every proper subgroup H of G is either subnormal in G or self-normalizing. We determinate the structure of non-J N J-groups in which all proper subgroups are J N J- groups.     

Wavelet transform and radon transform on the quaternion Heisenberg group

Let Q be the quaternion Heisenberg group,and let P be the affine automorphism group of Q.We develop the theory of continuous wavelet transform on the quaternion Heisenberg group via the unitary representations of P on L2(Q).A class of radial wavelets is constructed.The inverse wavelet transform is simplified by using radial wavelets.Then we investigate the Radon transform on Q.A Semyanistyi–Lizorkin space is introduced,on which the Radon transform is a bijection.We deal with the Radon transform on Q both by the Euclidean Fourier transform and the group Fourier transform.These two treatments are essentially equivalent.We also give an inversion formula by using wavelets,which does not require the smoothness of functions if the wavelet is smooth.In addition,we obtain an inversion formula of the Radon transform associated with the sub-Laplacian on Q.
