Convexities of partial monounary algebras

In the present paper we prove that the collection of all convexities of partial monounary algebras is finite; namely, it has exactly 23 elements. Further, we show that for each element there exists a subset of such that is generated by and card .

A class number formula for the p-cyclotomic field

Let p be an odd prime number and . Let be the classical Stickelberger ideal of the group ring . Iwasawa [6] proved that the index equals the relative class number of .

Scaling Limit for Subsystems and Doplicher–Roberts Reconstruction

Given an inclusion of (graded) local nets, we analyse the structure of the corresponding inclusion of scaling limit nets , giving conditions, fulfilled in free field theory, under which the unicity of the scaling limit of implies that of the scaling limit of . As a byproduct, we compute explicitly the (unique) scaling limit of the fixpoint nets of scalar free field theories. In the particular case of an inclusion of local nets with the same canonical field net , we find sufficient conditions which entail the equality of the canonical field nets of .

Entropy and Decay of Correlations for Real Analytic Semi-Flows

We consider real analytic suspension semi-flows over uniformly expanding real-analytic map of the interval. We show that for any -invariant equilibrium measure related to an analytic potential g, there exists a Banach space of test functions such that for generic observables in , the corresponding correlation functions cannot decay faster than , where h_g is the measure theoretic entropy of . This statement implies the existence of essential spectrum for the Perron-Frobenius operator associated to the semi-flow, when acting on any reasonable Banach space. Submitted: September 16, 2008.

Sums, products and negations of contexts and complete lattices

In Formal Concept Analysis, one associates with every context its concept lattice , and conversely, with any complete lattice L the standard context L, constituted by the join-irreducible elements as ‘objects’, the meet-irreducible elements as ‘attributes’, and the incidence relation induced by the lattice order. We investigate the effect of the operators and on various (finite or infinite) sum and product constructions. The rules obtained confirm the ‘exponential’ behavior of and the ‘logarithmic’ behavior of with respect to cardinal operations but show a ‘linear’ behavior on ordinal sums. We use these results in order to establish several forms of De Morgan’s law for the lattice-theoretical negation operator, associating with any complete lattice the concept lattice of the complementary standard context.

Modified Alternating $$\vec{k}$$–generators

This paper deals with a class of pseudorandom bit generators – modified alternating –generators. This class is constructed similarly to the class of alternating step generators. Three subclasses of are distinguished, namely linear, mixed and nonlinear generators. The main attention is devoted to the subclass of linear and mixed generators generating periodic sequences with maximal period lengths. A necessary and sufficient condition for all sequences generated by the linear generators of to be with maximal period lengths is formulated. Such sequences have good statistical properties, such as distribution of zeroes and ones, and large linear complexity. Two methods of cryptanalysis of the proposed generators are given. Finally, three new classes of modified alternating –generators, designed especially to be more secure, are presented.     

Dynamics of the Mapping Class Group on the Moduli of a Punctured Sphere with Rational Holonomy

Let M be a four-holed sphere and Γ the mapping class group of M fixing the boundary ∂M.

Peripherally Monomial-Preserving Maps between Uniform Algebras

Let and be uniform algebras and p(z,w) = z^mwⁿ a twovariable monomial. We characterize maps T from certain subsets of into such that holds for all f and g in the domain of T; peripherally monomial-preserving maps. Furthermore and are proved to be isometrical isomorphic as Banach algebras. If the greatest common divisor of m and n is 1, then T is extended to an isometrical linear isomorphism; a weighted composition operator. An example of peripherally monomial-preserving surjections between uniform algebras which is not linear, nor multiplicative, nor injective is given when the greatest common divisor is strictly greater than 1.

Birkhoff coordinates for KdV on phase spaces of distributions

The purpose of this paper is to extend the construction of Birkhoff coordinates for the KdV equation from the phase space of square integrable 1-periodic functions with mean value zero to the phase space of mean value zero distributions from the Sobolev space endowed with the symplectic structure More precisely, we construct a globally defined real-analytic symplectomorphism where is a weighted Hilbert space of sequences supplied with the canonical Poisson structure so that the KdV Hamiltonian for potentials in is a function of the actions alone.

Lefschetz decompositions and categorical resolutions of singularities

Let Y be a singular algebraic variety and let be a resolution of singularities of Y. Assume that the exceptional locus of over Y is an irreducible divisor in . For every Lefschetz decomposition of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on we construct a triangulated subcategory ) which gives a desingularization of . If the Lefschetz decomposition is generated by a vector bundle tilting over Y then is a noncommutative resolution, and if the Lefschetz decomposition is rectangular, then is a crepant resolution.     

Lyndon’s groupoid generates a small almost Cross variety

Lyndon’s groupoid of order seven is the first published example of a non-finitely based finite algebra. The main objective of the present article is to investigate the variety generated by this groupoid and its subvarieties. It is shown that the subvarieties of form a chain of order five, all elements of which except are Cross varieties. It follows that the variety is also generated by a groupoid of order six and that any groupoid with five or fewer elements does not generate . Consequently, Lyndon’s example of a non-finitely based finite algebra could have been of order six instead of seven. It is also shown that, with respect to some important properties, Lyndon’s groupoid contrasts greatly with several well-known non-finitely based finite groupoids that were discovered shortly after its publication.
