Highest weight representations of a family of Lie algebras of Block type

For an additive subgroup G of a field F of characteristic zero, a Lie algebra B（G） of Block type is defined with basis {Lα,i｜ α∈G, i∈Z＋} and relations [Lα,i, Lβ,j] = （β-α）Lα＋β,i＋j＋（αj-βi）Lα＋β,Lα＋β,i＋j-1.It is proved that an irreducible highest weight B（Z）-module is quasifinite if and only if it is a proper quotient of a Verma module. Furthermore, for a total order λ on G and any ∧∈B（G）0^＊（the dual space of B（G）0 = span{L0,i｜i∈Z＋}）, a Verma B（G）-module M（∧,λ） is defined, and the irreducibility of M（A,λ） is completely determined.     

Construct weak Hopf algebras by using Borcherds matrix

We define a new kind quantized enveloping algebra of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra by adding a new generator J satisfying jm = j for some integer m. We denote this algebra by wUqT（A）. This algebra is a weak Hopf algebra if and only if m = 2,3. In general, it is a bialgebra, and contains a Hopf subalgebra. This Hopf subalgebra is isomorphic to the usual quantum envelope algebra Uq （A） of a generalized Kac-Moody algebra A.     

A note on the degree conjecture for the Selberg class

The degree conjecture for the Selberg class of L-functions states that the degree d _F of every F ∈ is an integer. Moreover, it is expected that every F ∈ has polynomial Euler product, and that the degree ∂ _F of such an Euler product coincides with d _F . In this note we prove that a suitable continuity assumption on the degree d _F implies that ∂ _F = d _F for all F ∈ with polynomial Euler product.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-Radical classes and product radical classes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">MV</Emphasis>-algebras

For an MV-algebra let J ₀( ) be the system of all closed ideals of ; this system is partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion. A radical class X of MV-algebras will be called a K-radical class iff, whenever ∈ X and is an MV-algebra with J ₀( ) ≅ J ₀( ), then ∈ X. An analogous notation for lattice ordered groups was introduced and studied by Conrad. In the present paper we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between K-radical classes of MV-algebras and K-radical classes of abelian lattice ordered groups. We also prove an analogous result for product radical classes of MV-algebras; product radical classes of lattice ordered groups were studied by Ton.

The pressure in operator algebras

We introduce two notions of the pressure in operator algebras, one is the pressure Pα（π, T） for an automorphism α of a unital exact C^＊-algebra A at a self-adjoint element T in A with respect to a faithful unital ＊-representation π the other is the pressure Pτ,α（T） for an automorphism α of a hyperfinite von Neumann algebra M at a self-adjoint element T in M with respect to a faithful normal α-invariant state τ. We give some properties of the pressure, show that it is a conjugate invaxiant, and also prove that the pressure of the implementing inner automorphism of a crossed product A×α Z at a self-adjoint operator T in A equals that of α at T.     

The commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space

In this paper, using the matrix skills and operator theory techniques we characterize the commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators on Bergman space. For f（z） = z^ng（z） （n ≥1）, g（z） = b0 ＋ b1z^p1 ＋b2z^p2 ＋.. , bk ≠ 0 （k = 0, 1, 2,...）, our main result is =A′（Mf） = A′（Mzn）∩A′（Mg） = A′（Mz^s）, where s = g.c.d.（n,p1,p2,...）. In the last section, we study the relation between strongly irreducible curve and the winding number W（f,f（α））, α ∈ D.

Let be a saturated formation containing the class of supersolvable groups and let G be a finite group. The following theorems are presented: (1) G ∈ if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ and every maximal subgroup of all Sylow subgroups of H is either c-normal or S-quasinormally embedded in G. (2) G ∈ if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ and every maximal subgroup of all Sylow subgroups of F*(H), the generalized Fitting subgroup of H, is either c-normal or S-quasinormally embedded in G. (3) G ∈ if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ and every cyclic subgroup of F*(H) of prime order or order 4 is either c-normal or S-quasinormally embedded in G.

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-groups of operator algebra on the 1-shift space

In this paper we discuss the K-groups of Wiener algebra ;W. For the 1-shift space XGM2,We obtain a characterization of Fredholm operators on X^nGM2 for all n ∈ N. We also calculate the K-groups of operator algebra on the 1-shift space XGM2.     

Cotorsion pair extensions

Assume that S is an almost excellent extension of R. Using functors HomR（S,-） and -×R S, we establish some connections between classes of modules lR and lS, cotorsion pairs （AR, BR） and （AS, BS）. If lS is a T-extension or （and） H-extension of lR, we show that lS is a （resp., monomorphic, epimorphic, special） preenveloping class if and only if so is lR. If （AS, BS） is a TH- extension of （AR, BR）, we obtain that （AS, BS） is complete （resp., of finite type, of cofinite type, hereditary, perfect, n-tilting） if and only if so is （AR, BR）.     

Fundamental group of tiles associated to quadratic canonical number systems

If A is a 2 × 2 expanding matrix with integral coefficients, and ⊂ ℤ² a complete set of coset representatives of ℤ²/Aℤ² with |det(A)| elements, then the set ℐ defined by Aℐ = ℐ + is a self-affine plane tile of ℝ², provided that its two-dimensional Lebesgue measure is positive. It was shown by Luo and Thuswaldner that the fundamental group of such a tile is either trivial or uncountable. To a quadratic polynomial x ² + Ax + B, A, B ∈ ℤ such that B ≥ 2 and −1 ≤ A ≤ B, one can attach a tile ℐ. Akiyama and Thuswaldner proved the triviality of the fundamental group of this tile for 2A < B + 3, by showing that a tile of this class is homeomorphic to a closed disk. The case 2A ≥ B + 3 is treated here by using the criterion given by Luo and Thuswaldner.

∞-jets of diffeomorphisms preserving orbits of vector fields

Let F be a C ^∞ vector field defined near the origin O ∈ ℝ ⁿ , F(O) = 0, and (F _t ) be its local flow. Denote by the set of germs of orbit preserving diffeomorphisms h: ℝ ⁿ → ℝ ⁿ at O, and let , (r ≥ 0), be the identity component of with respect to the weak Whitney W ^r topology. Then contains a subset consisting of maps of the form F _α(x)(x), where α: ℝ ⁿ → ℝ runs over the space of all smooth germs at O. It was proved earlier by the author that if F is a linear vector field, then = . In this paper we present a class of examples of vector fields with degenerate singularities at O for which formally coincides with , i.e. on the level of ∞-jets at O. We also establish parameter rigidity of linear vector fields and “reduced” Hamiltonian vector fields of real homogeneous polynomials in two variables.      

Diameter preserving surjection on alternate matrices

Let F be a field with ｜F｜ ≥ 3, Km be the set of all m × m （m ≥ 4） alternate matrices over F. The arithmetic distance of A, B ∈ Km is d（A, B） ：= rank（A - B）. If d（A, B） = 2, then A and B are said to be adjacent. The diameter of Km is max{d（A, B） ： A, B ∈ km}. Assume that φ ： Km→Km is a map. We prove the following are equivalent： （a） φ is a diameter preserving surjection in both directions, （b） φ is both an adjacency preserving surjection and a diameter preserving map, （c） φ is a bijective map which preserves the arithmetic distance.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>-orthodox semigroups

As a generalization of an orthodox semigroup in the class of regular semigroups, a type W semigroup was first investigated by El-Qallali and Fountain. As an analogy of the type W semigroups in the class of abundant semigroups, we introduce the U-orthodox semigroups. It is shown that the maximum congruence μ contained in on U-orthodox semigroups can be determined. As a consequence, we show that a U-orthodox semigroup S can be expressed by the spined product of a Hall semigroup W _U and a V-ample semigroup (T,V). This theorem not only generalizes a known result of Hall-Yamada for orthodox semigroups but also generalizes another known result of El-Qallali and Fountain for type W semigroups.

Cohomology of a flag variety as a Bethe algebra

We interpret the equivariant cohomology H_GLn ^*H_{GL_n }^* (ℱ _λ ,ℂ) of a partial flag variety ℱ _λ parametrizing chains of subspaces 0 = F ₀ ⊂ F ₁ ⊂ … ⊂ F _N = ℂ ⁿ , dimF _i /F _i−1 = λ _i , as the Bethe algebra of the -weight subspace of a [t]-module .     

Harmonic moments of branching processes in random environments

We consider harmonic moments of branching processes in general random environments. For a sequence of square integrable random variables, we give some conditions such that there is a positive constant c that every variable in this sequence belong to Ac or A1c uniformly.     

A superalgebraic interpretation of the quantization maps of Weil algebras

Let G be a Lie group whose Lie algebra g is quadratic. In the paper ＂the non-commutative Weil algebra＂, Alekseev and Meinrenken constructed an explicit G-differential space homomorphism ￡, called the quantization map, between the Well algebra Wg = S（g^＊） χ∧A（g^＊） and Wg= U（g） χ Cl（g） （which they call the noncommutative Weil algebra） for g. They showed that ￡ induces an algebra isomorphism between the basic cohomology rings Hbas^＊（Wg） and Hbas^＊（Wg）. In this paper, we will interpret the quantization map .~ as the super Duflo map between the symmetric algebra S（Tg[1]） and the universal enveloping algebra U（Tg[1]） of a super Lie algebra T9[1] which is canonically associated with the quadratic Lie algebra g. The basic cohomology rings Hbas^＊（Wg） and Hbas^＊（Wg） correspond exactly to S（Tg[1]）^inv and U（Tg[1]）^inv, respectively. So what they proved is equivalent to the fact that the super Duflo map commutes with the adjoint action of the super Lie algebra, and that the super Duflo map is an algebra homomorphism when restricted to the space of invariants.

The authors study functions f ： R →R which map Gram matrices, based upon n points of R^m, into matrices, which are nonnegative definite with respect to P Among other things, the authors discuss continuity, differentiability, convexity, and convexity in the sense of Jensen, of such functions     

A simple formula for an analogue of conditional wiener integrals and its applications II

Let C[0, T] denote the space of real-valued continuous functions on the interval [0, T] with an analogue w _ϕ of Wiener measure and for a partition 0 = t ₀ < t ₁ < ... < t _n < t _n+1 = T of [0, T], let X _n : C[0, T] → ℝ ⁿ⁺¹ and X ⁿ⁺¹: C[0, T] → ℝ ⁿ⁺² be given by X _n (x) = (x(t ₀), x(t ₁), ..., x(t _n )) and X _n+1(x) = (x(t ₀), x(t ₁), ..., x(t _n+1)), respectively. In this paper, using a simple formula for the conditional w _ϕ-integral of functions on C[0, T] with the conditioning function X _n+1, we derive a simple formula for the conditional w _ϕ-integral of the functions with the conditioning function X _n . As applications of the formula with the function X _n , we evaluate the conditional w _ϕ-integral of the functions of the form F _m (x) = ∫₀ ^T (x(t)) ^m for x ∈ C[0, T] and for any positive integer m. Moreover, with the conditioning X _n , we evaluate the conditional w _ϕ-integral of the functions in a Banach algebra which is an analogue of the Cameron and Storvick’s Banach algebra . Finally, we derive the conditional analytic Feynman w _ϕ-integrals of the functions in .

Let M be a minimal compact surface, let Γ ⊂ M be a compact analytic sub-variety. Assume that X:= M \ Γ is Stein. Then we will show that X admits algebraic compactifications M _i (resp. non algebraic compactifications $ \mathbb{M}_i $ \mathbb{M}_i ) which are not birationally equivalent (resp. not bimeromorphically equivalent) iff X is biholomorphic to      

Sequential convergences on <Emphasis Type="Italic">MV</Emphasis>-algebras without Urysohn’s axiom

In a previous author’s paper, sequential convergences on an MV-algebra have been studied; the Urysohn’s axiom was assumed to be valid. The system of all such convergences was denoted by Conv . In the present paper we investigate analogous questions without supposing the validity of the Urysohn’s axiom; the corresponding system of convergences is denoted by conv . Both Conv and conv are partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion. We deal with the properties of conv 289-6 and the relations between conv and Conv . We prove that each interval of conv is a distributive lattice. The system conv has the least element, but it does not possess any atom. Hence it is either a singleton set or it is infinite. We consider also the relations between conv and conv G, where (G, u) is a unital lattice-ordered group with = Γ (G, u).
