If we also assume that is central, then satisfies the standard polynomial identity of degree , where is the greatest integer in .

     

On the extensions of homogeneous polynomials

We investigate the problem of the uniqueness of the extension of -homogeneous polynomials in Banach spaces. We show in particular that in a nonreflexive Banach space that admits contractive projection of finite rank of at least dimension 2, for every there exists an -homogeneous polynomial on that has infinitely many extensions to . We also prove that under some geometric conditions imposed on the norm of a complex Banach lattice , for instance when satisfies an upper -estimate with constant one for some , any -homogeneous polynomial on attaining its norm at with a finite rank band projection , has a unique extension to its bidual . We apply these results in a class of Orlicz sequence spaces.

On zeros of Eisenstein series for genus zero Fuchsian groups

Let SL be a genus zero Fuchsian group of the first kind with as a cusp, and let be the holomorphic Eisenstein series of weight on that is nonvanishing at and vanishes at all the other cusps (provided that such an Eisenstein series exists). Under certain assumptions on and on a choice of a fundamental domain , we prove that all but possibly of the nontrivial zeros of lie on a certain subset of . Here is a constant that does not depend on the weight, is the upper half-plane, and is the canonical hauptmodul for

If is a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of a projective curve and is a divisor on stabilized by , then we compute a simplified formula for the trace of the natural representation of on the Riemann-Roch space , under the assumption that is ``rational', is nonspecial, and the characteristic is ``good'. We discuss the partial formulas that result if is not rational.

     

On quasifree profinite groups

Recently, it has been shown by Harbater and Stevenson that a profinite group is free profinite of infinite rank if and only if is projective and -quasifree. The latter condition requires the existence of distinct solutions to certain embedding problems for . In this paper we provide several new non-trivial examples of -quasifree groups, projective and non-projective. Our main result is that open subgroups of -quasifree groups are -quasifree.

     

Semiprime smash products and -stable prime radicals for PI-algebras

Assume that is a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field and that is an -module algebra satisfying a polynomial identity (PI). We prove that if is semisimple and is -semiprime, then is semiprime. If is cosemisimple, we show that the prime radical of is -stable.

     

Transversals for strongly almost disjoint families

For a family of sets , and a set , is said to be a transversal of if and for each . is said to be a Bernstein set for if for each . Erdos and Hajnal first studied when an almost disjoint family admits a set such as a transversal or Bernstein set. In this note we introduce the following notion: a family of sets is said to admit a -transversal if can be written as such that each admits a transversal. We study the question of when an almost disjoint family admits a -transversal and related questions.

A structure theorem for quasi-Hopf comodule algebras

If is a quasi-Hopf algebra and is a right -comodule algebra such that there exists a morphism of right -comodule algebras, we prove that there exists a left -module algebra such that . The main difference when comparing to the Hopf case is that, from the multiplication of , which is associative, we have to obtain the multiplication of , which in general is not; for this we use a canonical projection arising from the fact that becomes a quasi-Hopf -bimodule.

     

On the degree of Hilbert polynomials associated to the torsion functor

Let be a local, Noetherian ring and an ideal. A question of Kodiyalam asks whether for fixed , the polynomial giving the th Betti number of has degree equal to the analytic spread of minus one. Under mild conditions on , we show that the answer is positive in a number of cases, including when is divisible by or is an integrally closed -primary ideal.

     

Extensions of orthosymmetric lattice bimorphisms revisited

This note furnishes an example illustrating the following two facts. On the one hand, there exist Archimedean Riesz spaces and with Dedekind-complete and an orthosymmetric lattice bimorphism with lattice bimorphism extension which is not orthosymmetric, where denotes the Dedekind-completion of . On the other hand, there is an associative -multiplication in the same Archimedean Riesz space which extends to a -multiplication in which is not associative. The existence of such an example provides counterexamples to assertions in Toumi, 2005.

A reduction theorem for the topological degree for mappings of class

The reduction theorem for the Leray-Schauder degree provides an efficient tool to calculate the value of the degree in a suitable invariant subspace. We shall prove how the calculation of the value of the topological degree for a mapping of class from a real separable reflexive Banach space into the dual space can be reduced into the calculation of degree of mapping from a closed subspace into Since the Leray-Schauder mappings are acting from to and we are dealing with mappings from to the standard `invariant subspace' condition must be replaced by a less obvious one.

Perturbations and Weyl's theorem

A Banach space operator is completely hereditarily normaloid, , if either every part, and (also) for every invertible part , of is normaloid or if for every complex number every part of is normaloid. Sufficient conditions for the perturbation of by an algebraic operator to satisfy Weyl's theorem are proved. Our sufficient conditions lead us to the conclusion that the conjugate operator satisfies -Weyl's theorem.
