The <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-rank of Ext<Subscript>ℤ</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>, ℤ) in certain models of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ZFC</Emphasis>

We prove that if the existence of a supercompact cardinal is consistent with ZFC, then it is consistent with ZFC that the p-rank of Ext _ℤ(G, ℤ) is as large as possible for every prime p and for any torsion-free Abelian group G. Moreover, given an uncountable strong limit cardinal μ of countable cofinality and a partition of Π (the set of primes) into two disjoint subsets Π₀ and Π₁, we show that in some model which is very close to ZFC, there is an almost free Abelian group G of size 2^μ = μ⁺ such that the p-rank of Ext _ℤ(G, ℤ) equals 2^μ = μ⁺ for every p ∈ Π₀ and 0 otherwise, that is, for p ∈ Π₁.

The image inH 2(Q 3;ℝ) of the set of closed 2-forms with preassigned kernel

If (P²ⁿ, ω) is a symplectic manifold and Q³ is its orientable closed submanifold such that ω/Q³≠0, then there arises a one-dimensional distribution ￡=(ω/Q³). We study the dependence of ω in a neighborhood of Q³ and of [ω] ɛH ²(Q ³,ℝ) on ￡. Bibliography: 13 titles. Published inZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 234, 1996, pp. 125–136.     

Cyclotomic and simplicial matroids

We show that two naturally occurring matroids representable over ℚ are equal: thecyclotomic matroid μ_n represented by then ^th roots of unity 1, ζ, ζ², …, ζ^n-1 inside the cyclotomic extension ℚ(ζ), and a direct sum of copies of a certain simplicial matroid, considered originally by Bolker in the context of transportation polytopes. A result of Adin leads to an upper bound for the number of ℚ-bases for ℚ(ζ) among then ^th roots of unity, which is tight if and only ifn has at most two odd prime factors. In addition, we study the Tutte polynomial of μ_n in the case thatn has two prime factors. First author supported by NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship.

The Grouth of Laplace

On the analytic functions defined by exponential series convergent only in the right half plane, Yu Jiarong^[1,2] introduced the order (R) and the order (R-H) and studied some exponential series, Yu Jiuman^[3] introduced the proximate zero order (R) of the functions and obtained some results. For the study of the grouth of LaplaceStieltjes transform, we introduce the order (R) and get some results similar to the case of exponential series.     

Proper bayes minimax estimators for a multivariate normal mean with unknown common variance under a convex loss function

Summary Let X ∼ N_p(μ,σ²I_p) and let s/σ² ∼ χ _n ² , independent ofX, where μ and σ² are unknown. This paper considers the estimation of μ (by δ) relative to a convex loss function given by (δ−μ)′[(1−α)I_p/σ²+αQ](δ−μ)/[(1−α)p/σ²+α tr (Q)], whereQ is a knownp×p diagonal matrix and 0≦α≦1. Two classes of minimax estimators are obtained for μ whenp≦3; the first is a new result and the second is a generalization of a result of Strawderman (1973,Ann. Statist.,1, 1189–1194). A proper Bayes estimator is also obtained which is shown to satisfy the conditions of the second class of minimax estimators. The paper concludes by discussing the estimation of μ relative to another convex loss function.

On the (x,t) asymptotic properties of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space

We study the space-time asymptotic behavior of classical solutions of the initial-boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes system in the half-space. We construct a (local in time) solution corresponding to an initial data that is only assumed to be continuous and decreasing at infinity as |x|^−μ, μ ∈ (1/2,n). We prove pointwise estimates in the space variable. Moreover, if μ ∈ [1, n) and the initial data is suitably small, then the above solutions are global (in time), and we prove space-time pointwise estimates. Bibliography: 19 titles.

Topological realizations of families of ergodic automorphisms, multitowers and orbit equivalence

We study minimal topological realizations of families of ergodic measure preserving automorphisms (e.m.p.a.'s). Our main result is the following theorem. Theorem: Let {T_p:p∈I} be an arbitrary finite or countable collection of e.m.p.a.'s on nonatomic Lebesgue probability spaces (Y _p v _p ). Let S be a Cantor minimal system such that the cardinality of the set ε _S of all ergodic S-invariant Borel probability measures is at least the cardinality of I. Then for any collection {μ _p :pεI} of distinct measures from ε _S there is a Cantor minimal system S′ in the topological orbit equivalence class of S such that, as a measure preserving system, (S ¹,μ _p ) is isomorphic to T_p for every p∈I. Moreover, S′ can be chosen strongly orbit equivalent to S if and only if all finite topological factors of S are measure-theoretic factors of T_p for all p∈I. This result shows, in particular, that there are no restrictions at all for the topological realizations of countable families of e.m.p.a.'s in Cantor minimal systems. Namely, for any finite or countable collection {T ₁,T₂,…} of e.m.p.a.'s of nonatomic Lebesgue probability spaces, there is a Cantor minimal systemS, whose collection {μ1,μ2…} of ergodic Borel probability measures is in one-to-one correspondence with {T ₁,T₂,…}, and such that (S,μ _i ) is isomorphic toT _i for alli. Furthermore, since realizations are taking place within orbit equivalence classes of a given Cantor minimal system, our results generalize the strong orbit realization theorem and the orbit realization theorem of [18]. Those theorems are now special cases of our result where the collections {T _p}, {T _p }{μ _p } consist of just one element each. Research of I.K. was supported by NSF grant DMS 0140068.     

Universally L 1 good sequences with gaps tending to infinity

We construct a sequence (n _k ) such that n _{k + 1} − n _k → ∞ and for any ergodic dynamical system (X, Σ, μ, T) and f ε L ¹(μ) the averages converge to ∝ _X f dμ for μ almost every x. Since the above sequence is of zero Banach density this disproves a conjecture of J. Rosenblatt and M. Wierdl about the nonexistence of such sequences.

Continuously Removable Sets for Quasiconformal Mappings

Let D be a domain in the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rⁿ, n ≥ 2, and let E be a compact in D. The paper presents conditions on the compact E under which any homeomorphic mapping f = D ∖ E → Rⁿ can be extended to a continuous mapping f = D → Rˉⁿ = Rⁿ ⋃ {∞}. These conditions define the class of NCS-compacts, which, for n = 2, coincides with the class of topologically removable compacts for conformal and quasiconformal mappings.

On a nonhomogeneous Burgers’ equation

In this paper the Cauchy problem for the following nonhomogeneous Burgers’ equation is considered : (1)u _t +uu _x =μu _xx −kx,x ∈R,t > 0, where μ and k are positive constants. Since the nonhomogeneous term kx does not belong to any L^p(R) space, this type of equation is beyond usual Sobolev framework in some sense. By Hopf-Cole transformation, (1) takes the form (2)ϕ _t −ϕ _xx = −x ² ϕ. With the help of the Hermite polynomials and their properties, (1) and (2) are solved exactly. Moreover, the large time behavior of the solutions is also considered, similar to the discussion in Hopf’s paper. Especially, we observe that the nonhomogeneous Burgers’ equation (1) is nonlinearly unstable.     

Graphs G for which both G and G¯ are Contraction Critically k-Connected

 An edge of a k-connected graph is said to be k-contractible if the contraction of the edge results in a k-connected graph. A k-connected graph with no k-contractible edge is called contraction critically k-connected. For k≥4, we prove that if both G and its complement Gˉ are contraction critically k-connected, then |V(G)|<k ^5/3+4k ^3/2.

关于集值系统x∈F(x,y),y∈G(x,y)解的存在性

Let (E, ‖·‖) be a uniformly convex Banach space, X a nonempty compact and convex subset of E. Let F be a closed mapping of X×X into 2^X, G a mapping of X×X into C(X). It is shown that if for any f∈C(X), x∈X, F(x,f(x)) is a closed and convex subset of X, and G(x,f(x)) is a continuous function and for any x,y₁,y₂∈X,H(x,G(x,y₁),G(x,y₂))≤‖y₁-y₂‖ then there exist X₀,y₀∈X such that X₀∈F(x₀,y₀) and y₀∈G(x₀, y₀).
