Homological dimension of weak Hopf�CGalois extensions

Let H be a weak Hopf algebra, A a right weak H-comodule algebra and B the subalgebra of the H-coinvariant elements of?A. Let A/B be a right weak H-Galois extension. We prove that A/B is a separable extension if H is semisimple. Using this, we show that the global dimension and weak dimension of A are less than those of?B. As an application, we obtain Maschke-type theorems for weak Hopf?CGalois extensions and weak smash products.     

Canonical Extensions and Kripke–Galois Semantics for Non-distributive Logics

This article presents an approach to the semantics of non-distributive propositional logics that is based on a lattice representation (and duality) theorem that delivers a canonical extension of the lattice. Our approach supports both a plain Kripke-style semantics and, by restriction, a general frame semantics. Unlike the framework of generalized Kripke frames (RS-frames), the semantic approach presented in this article is suitable for modeling applied logics (such as temporal, or dynamic), as it respects the intended interpretation of the logical operators. This is made possible by restricting admissible interpretations.     

Galois lines for the Artin–Schreier–Mumford curve

The arrangement of all Galois lines for the Artin–Schreier–Mumford curve in the projective 3-space is described. Surprisingly, there exist infinitely many Galois lines intersecting this curve.     

On the Cartan Map for Crossed Products and Hopf–Galois Extensions

We study certain aspects of the algebraic K-theory of Hopf–Galois extensions. We show that the Cartan map from K-theory to G-theory of such an extension is a rational isomorphism, provided the ring of coinvariants is regular, the Hopf algebra is finite dimensional and its Cartan map is injective in degree zero. This covers the case of a crossed product of a regular ring with a finite group and has an application to the study of Iwasawa modules.     

Openness of the Galois image for τ-modules of dimension 1

Let C be a smooth projective absolutely irreducible curve over a finite field , F its function field and A the subring of F of functions which are regular outside a fixed point ∞ of C. For every place ? of A, we denote the completion of A at ? by .In [Pi2], Pink proved the Mumford-Tate conjecture for Drinfeld modules. Let φ be a Drinfeld module of rank r defined over a finitely generated field K containing F. For every place ? of A, we denote by Γ_? the image of the representation

     

Spectral corrections for Sturm–Liouville problems

The numerical solution of the Sturm–Liouville problem can be achieved using shooting to obtain an eigenvalue approximation as a solution of a suitable nonlinear equation and then computing the corresponding eigenfunction. In this paper we use the shooting method both for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. In integrating the corresponding initial value problems we resort to the boundary value method. The technique proposed seems to be well suited to supplying a general formula for the global discretization error of the eigenfunctions depending on the discretization errors arising from the numerical integration of the initial value problems. A technique to estimate the eigenvalue errors is also suggested, and seems to be particularly effective for the higher-index eigenvalues. Numerical experiments on some classical Sturm–Liouville problems are presented.     

Weakly dissipative solutions and weak–strong uniqueness for the Navier–Stokes–Smoluchowski system

This article deals with a fluid–particle interaction model for the evolution of particles dispersed in a fluid. The fluid flow is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations for a compressible fluid while the evolution of the particle densities is given by the Smoluchowski equation. The coupling between the dispersed and dense phases is obtained through the drag forces that the fluid and the particles exert mutually. The existence of weakly dissipative solutions is established under reasonable physical assumptions on the initial data, the physical domain, and the external potential. Furthermore, a weak–strong uniqueness result is established via the relative entropy method yielding that a weakly dissipative solution agrees with a classical solution with the same initial data when such a classical solution exists.     

Cannon–Thurston maps for hyperbolic free group extensions

This paper gives a detailed analysis of the Cannon–Thurston maps associated to a general class of hyperbolic free group extensions. Let F denote a free group of finite rank at least 3 and consider a convex cocompact subgroup Γ ≤ Out(F), i.e. one for which the orbit map from Γ into the free factor complex of F is a quasi-isometric embedding. The subgroup Γ determines an extension E_Γ of F, and the main theorem of Dowdall–Taylor [DT14] states that in this situation E_Γ is hyperbolic if and only if Γ is purely atoroidal.     

Modified Schwarz and Hannan–Quinn information criteria for weak VARMA models

Numerous multivariate time series admit weak vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) representations, in which the errors are uncorrelated but not necessarily independent nor martingale differences. These models are called weak VARMA by opposition to the standard VARMA models, also called strong VARMA models, in which the error terms are supposed to be independent and identically distributed (iid). This article considers the problem of order selection of the weak VARMA models by using the information criteria. It is shown that the use of the standard information criteria are often not justified when the iid assumption on the noise is relaxed. As a consequence, we propose the modified versions of the Schwarz or Bayesian information criterion and of the Hannan and Quinn criterion for identifying the orders of weak VARMA models. Monte Carlo experiments show that the proposed modified criteria estimate the model orders more accurately than the standard ones. An illustrative application using the squared daily returns of financial series is presented.     

Concave extensions for nonlinear 0–1 maximization problems

A well-known linearization technique for nonlinear 0–1 maximization problems can be viewed as extending any polynomial in 0–1 variables to a concave function defined on [0, 1] ⁿ . Some properties of this standard concave extension are investigated. Polynomials for which the standard extension coincides with the concave envelope are characterized in terms of integrality of a certain polyhedron or balancedness of a certain matrix. The standard extension is proved to be identical to another type of concave extension, defined as the lower envelope of a class of affine functions majorizing the given polynomial.     

Phragmen–lindelöf principle for weak subsolutions and cooperative reaction–diffusion systems

One of the principal techniques for treating sustems of reaction–diffusion equations is based on a comparison method using sub and super–solutions. In practice this method is much more effective if non–smooth subsolutions are allowed. In this note we extend the analysis in [2,3] for cooperative systems and prove a comparison principle for a natural and rather general class of weak subsolutions satisfying a Phragmen–Lindelöf condition. An application is then given to a biological model in involving a pair of mutualists.     

Using sliced mean variance–covariance inverse regression for classification and dimension reduction

The sliced mean variance–covariance inverse regression (SMVCIR) algorithm takes grouped multivariate data as input and transforms it to a new coordinate system where the group mean, variance, and covariance differences are more apparent. Other popular algorithms used for performing graphical group discrimination are sliced average variance estimation (SAVE, targetting the same differences but using a different arrangement for variances) and sliced inverse regression (SIR, which targets mean differences). We provide an improved SMVCIR algorithm and create a dimensionality test for the SMVCIR coordinate system. Simulations corroborating our theoretical results and comparing SMVCIR with the other methods are presented. We also provide examples demonstrating the use of SMVCIR and the other methods, in visualization and group discrimination by k-nearest neighbors. The advantages and differences of SMVCIR from SAVE and SIR are shown clearly in these examples and simulation.     

Spectral Triple and Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen Measures

In this article, we recover the Sinai–Ruelle–Bowen measure associated to a real-valued Hölder continuous function defined on the Julia set of a hyperbolic quadratic polynomial, as a noncommutative measure by constructing an appropriate spectral triple.     

Spectral asymptotics for Kac–Murdock–Szegő matrices

Szeg?’s First Limit Theorem provides the limiting statistical distribution of the eigenvalues of large Toeplitz matrices. Szeg?’s Second (or Strong) Limit Theorem for Toeplitz matrices gives a second order correction to the First Limit Theorem, and allows one to calculate asymptotics for the determinants of large Toeplitz matrices. In this paper we survey results extending the First and Second Limit Theorems to Kac–Murdock–Szeg? (KMS) matrices. These are matrices whose entries along the diagonals are not necessarily constants, but modeled by functions. We clarify and extend some existing results, and explain some apparently contradictory results in the literature.
