Cyclotomic Hecke Algebras of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)

In this note, we find a monomial basis of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra \({\mathcal{H}_{r,p,n}}\) of G(r,p,n) and show that the Ariki-Koike algebra \({\mathcal{H}_{r,n}}\) is a free module over \({\mathcal{H}_{r,p,n}}\), using the Gröbner-Shirshov basis theory. For each irreducible representation of \({\mathcal{H}_{r,p,n}}\), we give a polynomial basis consisting of linear combinations of the monomials corresponding to cozy tableaux of a given shape.     

Hopf Algebras of Type <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>, Twistings and the FRT-construction

We study pointed Hopf algebras of the form U(R _Q ), (Faddeev et al., Quantization of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Algebraic Analysis, vol. I, Academic, Boston, MA, pp. 129–139, 1988; Faddeev et al., Quantum groups. Braid group, knot theory and statistical mechanics. Adv. Ser. Math. Phys., vol. 9, World Science, Teaneck, NJ, pp. 97–110, 1989; Larson and Towber, Commun. Algebra 19(12):3295–3345, 1991), where R _Q is the Yang–Baxter operator associated with the multiparameter deformation of GL _n supplied in Artin et al. (Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 44:8–9, 879–895, 1991) and Sudbery (J. Phys. A, 23(15):697–704, 1990). We show that U(R _Q ) is of type A _n in the sense of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider (Adv. Math. 154:1–45, 2000; Pointed Hopf algebras. Recent developments in Hopf Algebras Theory, MSRI Series, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2002). We consider the non-negative part of U(R _Q ) and show that for two sets of parameters, the corresponding Hopf sub-algebras can be obtained from each other by twisting the multiplication if and only if they possess the same groups of grouplike elements. We exhibit families of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras arising from U(R _Q ) with non-isomorphic groups of grouplike elements. We then discuss the case when the quantum determinant is central in A(R _Q ) and show that under some assumptions on the group of grouplike elements, two finite-dimensional Hopf algebras U(R _Q ), U(R _Q′) can be obtained from each other by twisting the comultiplication if and only if In the last part we show that U _Q is always a quotient of a double crossproduct. I wish to thank UIC, where some of the work was done, for hospitality.     

Modular <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis> Type Lie Algebras

The modular Witt algebra W(p, n) and H(p, 2n) are defined on the polynomial rings Z_p[x₁,...,x_n] and Z_p[X₁,...,x_n, y₁,...,y_n] respectively. We generalize Z_p[x₁,...,xn] and Zp[x₁,...,xn, y₁,...,y_n], so we get the generalized W-type and H-type modular Lie algebras. We find all the derivations of W(p, 1).AMS Subject Classification: Primary 17B40, 17B56.     

Rate of convergence to stationarity of the system <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis>

We consider the M/M/N/N+R service system, characterized by N servers, R waiting positions, Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. We discuss representations and bounds for the rate of convergence to stationarity of the number of customers in the system, and study its behaviour as a function of R, N and the arrival rate λ, allowing λ to be a function of N.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>-Coloring of Certain Networks

Given a graph G and a finite set T of non-negative integers containing zero, a T-coloring of G is a non-negative integer function f defined on V(G) such that \(|f(x)-f(y)|\not \in T\) whenever \((x,y)\in E(G)\). The span of T-coloring is the difference between the largest and smallest colors, and the T-span of G is the minimum span over all T-colorings f of G. The edge span of a T-coloring is the maximum value of \(|f(x)-f(y)|\) over all edges \((x,y)\in E(G)\), and the T-edge span of G is the minimum edge span over all T-colorings f of G. In this paper, we compute T-span and T-edge span of crown graph, circular ladder and mobius ladder, generalized theta graph, series-parallel graph and wrapped butterfly network.     

A Generalization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>-Groups

This paper identifies a certain class of locally supersoluble groups (called soluble hall-T groups) which contains the soluble T-groups as well as the nilpotent groups. The main result states that the product of a normal soluble hall-T subgroup and a subnormal locally supersoluble subgroup is always locally supersoluble.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 20E25, 20F16, 20F19     

Further Results for the Queueing System <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>

For the multi-channel bulk-arrival queue, M ^x /M/c, Abol'nikov and Kabak independently obtained steady state results. In this paper the results of these authors are extended, corrected and simplified. A number of measures of efficiency are calculated for three cases where the arrival group size has: (i) a constant value, (ii) a geometric distribution, or (iii) a positive Poisson distribution. The paper also shows how to calculate fractiles for both the queue length and the waiting time distribution. Examples of extensive numerical results for certain measures of efficiency are presented in tabular and chart form.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">Q</Emphasis>-Upper Algebras

Given a poset we introduce the notion of Q-upper algebras and study the (positive) implicativity, commutativity and quasi-commutativity in Q-upper algebras.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>/1+<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> queue revisited

We consider an M/G/1 queue with the following form of customer impatience: an arriving customer balks or reneges when its virtual waiting time, i.e., the amount of work seen upon arrival, is larger than a certain random patience time. We consider the number of customers in the system, the maximum workload during a busy period, and the length of a busy period. We also briefly treat the analogous model in which any customer enters the system and leaves at the end of his patience time or at the end of his virtual sojourn time, whichever occurs first.     

Eigenvalues of the Manifold Sp（n）/U（n）

In this paper, we give the eigenvalues of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n). We prove that an eigenvalue λ _s (f ₂, f ₂, …, f _n ) of the Lie group Sp(n), corresponding to the representation with label (f ₁, f ₂, ..., f _n ), is an eigenvalue of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n), if and only if f ₁, f ₂, …, f _n are all even.     

Asymptotic <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis></Subscript>-Toeplitzness of weighted composition operators on <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>

Given a unilateral forward shift S acting on a complex, separable, innite dimensional Hilbert space H, an asymptotically S-Toeplitz operator is a bounded linear operator T on H satisfying that {S* ⁿ TS ⁿ } is convergent with respect to one of the topologies commonly used in the algebra of bounded linear operators on H. In this paper, we study the asymptotic T _u -Toeplitzness of weighted composition operators on the Hardy space H², where u is a nonconstant inner function.     

(<Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">i</Emphasis></Subscript>) Policy Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items with Time Proportional Demand

An EOQ model is reconsidered here in which the demand rate is changing linearly with time and the deterioration is assumed to be a constant fraction of the onhand inventory. The planning horizon is finite and known and the replenishment periods are assumed to be constant. The problem is to find the optimal number of replenishments, which are instantaneous. When there is no deterioration, the model developed is related to the corresponding model for nondeteriorating items. An example followed by sensitivity analysis is given to illustrate the derived results.     

(<Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis>)-bi-Koszul algebras

The paper focuses on the 1-generated positively graded algebras with non-pure resolutions and mainly discusses a new kind of algebras called(s,t,d)-bi-Koszul algebras as the generalization of bi-Koszul algebras. An(s,t,d)-bi-Koszul algebra can be obtained from two periodic algebras with pure resolutions. The generation of the Koszul dual of an(s,t,d)-bi-Koszul algebra is discussed. Based on it,the notion of strongly(s,t,d)-bi-Koszul algebras is raised and their homological properties are further discussed.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis> points of algebroid functions

In this paper, we firstly give a new definition, namely, the T point of algebroid functions. Then by using Ahlfors’ theory of covering surfaces, we prove the existence of these points for any ν-valued algebroid functions in the unit disk satisfying $\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{r \to 1^ - } \frac{{T(r,w)}} {{\log \tfrac{1} {{1 - r}}}} = + \infty $\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{r \to 1^ - } \frac{{T(r,w)}} {{\log \tfrac{1} {{1 - r}}}} = + \infty . This extends the recent results of Xuan, Wu and Sun.     

Theta functions on <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-bundles over <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> with the zero Euler class

We construct an analog of the classical theta function on an abelian variety for the closed 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds that are T ²-bundles over T ² with the zero Euler class. We use our theta functions for a canonical symplectic embedding of these manifolds into complex projective spaces (an analog of the Lefschetz theorem).     

Cyclic codes over <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis></Subscript>

Cyclic codes over an infinite family of rings are defined. The general properties of cyclic codes over these rings are studied, in particular nontrivial one-generator cyclic codes are characterized. It is also proved that the binary images of cyclic codes over these rings under the natural Gray map are binary quasi-cyclic codes of index 2 ^k . Further, several optimal or near optimal binary codes are obtained from cyclic codes over R _k via this map.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-cubic Pyramid Algebras

In this paper we study a class of algebras having n-dimensional pyramid shaped quiver with n-cubic cells, which we called n-cubic pyramid algebras. This class of algebras includes the quadratic dual of the basic n-Auslander absolutely n-complete algebras introduced by Iyama. We show that the projective resolutions of the simples of n-cubic pyramid algebras can be characterized by n-cuboids, and prove that they are periodic. So these algebras are almost Koszul and (n?1)-translation algebras. We also recover Iyama’s cone construction for n-Auslander absolutely n-complete algebras using n-cubic pyramid algebras and the theory of n-translation algebras.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis>-Groups <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis>) in continuous logic

In the context of continuous logic, this paper axiomatizes both the class \(\mathcal {C}\) of lattice-ordered groups isomorphic to C(X) for X compact and the subclass \(\mathcal {C}^+\) of structures existentially closed in \(\mathcal {C}\); shows that the theory of \(\mathcal {C}^+\) is \(\aleph _0\)-categorical and admits elimination of quantifiers; establishes a Nullstellensatz for \(\mathcal {C}\) and \(\mathcal {C}^+\); shows that \(C(X)\in \mathcal {C}\) has a prime-model extension in \(\mathcal {C}^+\) just in case X is Boolean; and proves that in a sense relevant to continuous logic, positive formulas admit in \(\mathcal {C}^+\) elimination of quantifiers to positive formulas.
