Strongly-cyclic branched coverings of knots via (g, 1)-decompositions

Strongly-cyclic branched coverings of knots are studied by using their (g, 1)-decompositions. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of such coverings are obtained. It is also shown that their fundamental groups admit geometric g-words cyclic presentations.

Infrared absorption line intensities forU(5) model of linear triatomic molecules

The symmetry of the rotation-vibration spectra for linear triatomic molecules is described by means of the groupU(5). The rotation-vibration levels of linear triatomic molecules HCN and COS are calculated. The infrared absorption line intensities are calculated for the COS molecule. The results are in good agreement with the experimental values.     

Noncommutative Grassmannian <Emphasis Type="Italic">U</Emphasis>(1) sigma model and a Bargmann-Fock space

We consider a Grassmannian version of the noncommutative U(1) sigma model specified by the energy functional E(P) = ‖[a, P]‖ _HS ² , where P is an orthogonal projection operator in a Hilbert space H and a: H → H is the standard annihilation operator. With H realized as a Bargmann-Fock space, we describe all solutions with a one-dimensional range and prove that the operator [a, P] is densely defined in H for a certain class of projection operators P with infinite-dimensional ranges and kernels. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 153, No. 3, pp. 347–357, December, 2007.     

A Family of Non-quasiprimitive Graphs Constructed From PSU3（q） Where q Is Odd

Let Г be a simple connected graph and let G be a group of automorphisms of Г. Г is said to be （G, 2）-arc transitive if G is transitive on the 2-arcs of Г. It has been shown that there exists a family of non-quasiprimitive （PSU3（q）, 2）-arc transitive graphs where q = 2^3m with m an odd integer. In this paper we investigate the case where q is an odd prime power.     

The Local Index Formula for SU q (2)

We discuss the local index formula of Connes–Moscovici for the isospectral noncommutative geometry that we have recently constructed on quantum SU(2). We work out the cosphere bundle and the dimension spectrum as well as the local cyclic cocycles yielding the index formula. (Received: January 2005)     

On the tvGARCH(1,1) model: Existence, CLT, and tail index

We study the properties of the tvGARCH(1, 1) model (1.8) with logistic coefficients. We obtain conditions for the existence of an L ^p -bounded solution (p ⩾ 0) of Eq. (1.8). For p ⩾ 4, we prove an exponential decay of the lagged correlation function and the central limit theorem for partial sums of the squared tvGARCH(1, 1) process under similar conditions as in the stationary case. In the second part of the paper, we study the (weak) tail index of the tvGARCH(1, 1) model.     

Quasi-invariant measures on the infinite product ofSU(2)

Investigated is quasi-invariance of power probabilities on the infinite product ofSU(2). We consider the subgroup consisting of those actions which keep a measure quasi-invariant (i.e., mutually absolutely continuous) and call it the quasi-invariant subgroup of the measure. We establish several estimations for the quasi-invariant subgroups in terms oflf_p-type subgroups ofSU(2). Our methods are based on Hellinger integrals, Fourier analysis, and spherical functions onSU(2).     

On (a, b)-consecutive petersen graphs

The generalized Petersen graphsP(n,k), n≥3, 1≤k<n/2, consist of an outern-cyclex _o x ₁ x ₂...x _n−1 , a set ofn spokesx _i y _i (0≤i≤n−1), andn inner edgesy _i y _i +k with indices taken modulon. This paper deals with (a,b)-consecutive labelings of generalized Petersen graphP(n,k).     

A nearfield-free definition of regular Hughes planes and some embeddings of PG(3,q) in Hughes planes of order q 4

We give a nearfield-free definition of some finite and infinite incidence systems by means of half-points and half-lines and show that they are projective planes. We determine a planar ternary ring for these planes and use it to determine the full collineation group and to demonstrate some embeddings of these planes among themselves. We show that these planes include all finite regular Hughes planes and many infinite ones. We also show that PG(3, q) embeds in Hu(q ⁴) (and show infinite versions of this embedding).

（g, f）-Factorizations Randomly Orthogonal to a Subgraph in Graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G) and let g and f be two integervalued functions defined on V(G) such that 2k - 2 ≤g(x)≤f(x) for all x∈V(G). Let H be a subgraph of G with mk edges. In this paper, it is proved that every (mg m-1,mf-m 1)-graph G has (g, f)-factorizations randomly k-orthogonal to H under some special conditions.     

Exact axially symmetric wave solutions of the Yang-Mills equations

We find a class of exact axially symmetric wave solutions of the Yang-Mills equations with SU(2) symmetry. The solutions in this class describe running waves propagating at the speed of light in a vacuum and contain two arbitrary differentiable functions of their phase. We consider properties of field sources that can generate such running waves. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 148, No. 2, pp. 243–248, August, 2006.     

ComplexK-theory ofBSL3(Z)

ComplexK-theory ofBSL₃(Z) andBSt₃(Z) are computed. We first study a Brown-Peterson (BP) version of Soulé's arguments. Then we consider complexK-theory by using a Conner-Floyd type theorem.     

A polynomial algorithm for finding (<Emphasis Type="Italic">g,f</Emphasis>)-colorings orthogonal to stars in bipartite graphs

Let G be a bipartite graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G), and let g and f be two nonnegative integer-valued functions defined on V(G) such that g(x) ≤ f(x) for every vertex x of V(G). A (g, f)-coloring of G is a generalized edge-coloring in which each color appears at each vertex x at least g(x) and at most f(x) times. In this paper a polynomial algorithm to find a (g, f)-coloring of a bipartite graph with some constraints using the minimum number of colors is given. Furthermore, we show that the results in this paper are best possible.     

A remark on CD 0(K)-spaces

A representation of the CD ₀(K)-space is given in [1, 2] for a compact Hausdorff space K without isolated points. We generalize this to an arbitrary countably compact space K without any assumption on isolated points.     

Quantum inverse scattering method for the q-boson model and symmetric functions

The purpose of this paper is to show that the quantum inverse scattering method for the so-called q-boson model has a nice interpretation in terms of the algebra of symmetric functions. In particular, in the case of the phase model (corresponding to q = 0) the creation operator coincides (modulo a scalar factor) with the operator of multiplication by the generating function of complete homogeneous symmetric functions, and the wave functions are expressed via the Schur functions s_λ(x). The general case of the q-boson model is related in a similar way to the Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions P_λ(x;q²).     

Some Sets of Type (m,n) in Cubic Order Planes

Multilinear Operators on C(K, X) Spaces

Given Banach spaces X, Yand a compact Hausdorff space K, we use polymeasures to give necessary conditions for a multilinear operator from C(K, X) into Yto be completely continuous (resp. unconditionally converging). We deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for Xto have the Schur property (resp. to contain no copy of c ₀), and for Kto be scattered. This extends results concerning linear operators.     

Solutions and Multiple Solutions for p（x）-Laplacian Equations with Nonlinear Boundary Condition

The authors study the p（x）-Laplacian equations with nonlinear boundary condition. By using the variational method, under appropriate assumptions on the perturbation terms f1 （x, u）, f2（x, u） and h1（x）, h2（x）, such that the associated functional satisfies the ＂mountain pass lemma＂ and ＂fountain theorem＂ respectively, the existence and multiplicity of solutions are obtained. The discussion is based on the theory of variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces.     

D(β)-vertex-distinguishing total coloring of graphs

A new concept of the D(β)-vertex-distinguishing total coloring of graphs, i.e., the proper total coloring such that any two vertices whose distance is not larger than β have different color sets, where the color set of a vertex is the set composed of all colors of the vertex and the edges incident to it, is proposed in this paper. The D(2)-vertex-distinguishing total colorings of some special graphs are discussed, meanwhile, a conjecture and an open problem are presented.
