The reduced measure algebra and a K1-space which is not K0

The reduced measure algebra is used to construct, under CH, a hereditarily Lindelöf separable K₁-space X which is not a K₀-space.     

Free products of kω-topological groups with normal amalgamation

It is shown in this paper that if A is a closed normal subgroup of k_ω-topological groups G and H, then the free product of G and H with A amalgamated, G1_AH, exists, is Hausdorff and indeed a k_ω-group.     

Splitting manifolds as M × R where M has a k-fold end structure

Let X be a locally finite simplicial complex of dimension n, n? 5, equipped with a k-fold end structure [4] and consider a piecewise linear (n + 1)-dimensional manifold M that is proper homotopy equivalent to X × R by F:M → X × R, where R is the set of real numbers. The question arises as to whether or not the manifold M can be split, i.e., written as M = N × R where N is a n-manifold and where there is a proper homotopy between F and (p₁ ° F₀) × id:N × R → X × R, preserving the natural (k+1)-fold end structure, where F₀ is F|_N and p₁ is the projection X × R → X. Of particular significance is the fact that X is noncompact. When the construction of such splittings is attempted, algebraic obstructions arise, which vanish if and only if the construction can be completed. This paper develops such an obstruction theory by utilizing methods of L.C. Siebenmann and the k-fold end structures of F. Waldhausen.     

Banach spaces whose duals are isomorphic to l1(Γ)

Banach spaces X whose duals are isomorphic or isometric to l₁(Γ) are characterized by certain classes of operators on X. It is proved that a separable, conjugate space isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an L₁(S, Σ, μ) space is isomorphic to l₁; a $\text{L}$₁ space contained in a separable, conjugate space is isomorphic to a subspace of l₁.     

Generalizations of Whipple's theorem on the sum of a 3F2

Thirty-eight summation closely related to Whipple's theorem, in the theory of the generalized hypergeometric series, are obtained. Some limiting cases are also considered.     

No dense metrizable Gδ-subspaces in butterfly semi-metrizable Baire spaces

A class of Baire spaces, which contains many known examples and variations thereof, is described and it is shown that no space in this class contains a dense metrizable G_δ-subspace. This gives a class of semi-metrizable spaces which are not σ-spaces. We discuss the existence of Lindelöf semi-metrizable spaces which are not σ-spaces. This is of interest since the only known examples require the use of CH.     

Kernel density estimation for spatial processes: the L1 theory

The purpose of this paper is to investigate kernel density estimators for spatial processes with linear or nonlinear structures. Sufficient conditions for such estimators to converge in L₁ are obtained under extremely general, verifiable conditions. The results hold for mixing as well as for nonmixing processes. Potential applications include testing for spatial interaction, the spatial analysis of causality structures, the definition of leading/lagging sites, the construction of clusters of comoving sites, etc.     

Toeplitz algebras, subnormal tuples and rigidity on reproducing C[z1,…,zd]-modules

This paper mainly considers Toeplitz algebras, subnormal tuples and rigidity concerning reproducing C[z₁,…,z_d]-modules. By making use of Arveson's boundary representation theory, we find there is more rigidity in several variables than there is in single variable. We specialize our attention to reproducing C[z₁,…,z_d]-modules with -invariant kernels by examining the spectrum and the essential spectrum of the d-tuple {M_z1,…,M_zd}, and deducing an exact sequence of C∗-algebras associated with Toeplitz algebra. Finally, we deal with Toeplitz algebras defined on Arveson submodules and rigidity of Arveson submodules.     

Multipliers from L1(G) to a Lipschitz space

Let G be a metric locally compact Abelian group. We prove that the spaces (L₁, Lip(α, p)), (L₁, lip(α, p)), Lip(α, p) and lip(α, p)^~ are isometrically isomorphic, where Lip(α, p) and lip(α, p) denote the Lipschitz spaces defined on G, (L₁, A) is the space of multipliers from L₁ to A, and lip(α, p)^~ denotes the relative completion of lip(α, p). We also show that $\text{L}{}_1\text{1}\text{Lip}\text{(α, p) =}\text{lip}\text{(α, p) = L}{}_1\text{1}\text{lip}\text{(α, p)}$.     

On the average depth of a prefix of the Dycklanguage D1

If D₁ is the Dycklanguage with one type of bracket then the level of a bracket in a word w ∈ D₁ is defined as the number of preceding opening brackets minus the number of preceding closing brackets. The depth of a Dyckword w is the maximum level of a bracket appearing in w. In this paper we derive an explicit expression for the average depth of a prefix of length n of the Dycklanguage D₁ and show that the average depth is given for all ε>0 by

$\text{(ln2)}\text{2πn}\text{?}\text{3}\text{2}\text{+}\text{1}\text{8}\text{2π}\text{n}\text{[4ln2?(?1)}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{(2ln2?1)]+O(}\text{ln n}\text{n}{}^{\mathrm{1.5?\; ?}}$

. The variance is asymptotically for all ?>0

$\text{(}\text{π}\text{3}\text{?2 ln}{}^2\text{2)πn+}\text{5π}{}^2\text{18}\text{?2πln}{}^2\text{2+}\text{1}\text{12}\text{?π(?1)}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{(}\text{π}\text{24}\text{? ln}{}^2\text{2+}\text{1}\text{2}\text{ln2)+O(}\text{ln n}\text{n}{}^{\mathrm{1??}}$

. Furthermore, we derive several enumeration results describing the distribution of the number of certain prefixes of length n.     

具有性质cr 1=3,ar 1=3a 1或4a的(a 1,3)型距离正则图

设г是直径为d且型为(a 1,3)的距离正则图,其中a≥2.用l(c,a,b)表示交叉阵列ι(г)中列(c,a,6)t的个数,记r=r(г)=l(c1,a1,b1),8=8(г)=l(Cr 1,ar 1,br 1)及t=t(г)=l(cr s 1,ar s 1,br s 1).那末,若Cr 1=3,ar 1=4a或3a 1,则d=r t 2.     

On a continuous analogue of the stochastic difference equation Xn=ρXn-1+Bn

Let B₁, B₂, ... be a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables, letX₀ be a random variable that is independent ofB_n forn?1, let ρ be a constant such that 0<ρ<1 and letX₁,X₂, ... be another sequence of random variables that are defined recursively by the relationshipsX_n=ρX_n-1+B_n. It can be shown that the sequence of random variablesX₁,X₂, ... converges in law to a random variableX if and only ifE[log⁺¦B₁¦]<∞. In this paper we let {B(t):0≦t<∞} be a stochastic process with independent, homogeneous increments and define another stochastic process {X(t):0?t<∞} that stands in the same relationship to the stochastic process {B(t):0?t<∞} as the sequence of random variablesX₁,X₂,...stands toB₁,B₂,.... It is shown thatX(t) converges in law to a random variableX ast →+∞ if and only ifE[log⁺¦B(1)¦]<∞ in which caseX has a distribution function of class L. Several other related results are obtained. The main analytical tool used to obtain these results is a theorem of Lukacs concerning characteristic functions of certain stochastic integrals.     

Every compact group arises as the outer automorphism group of a II1 factor

We show that any compact group can be realized as the outer automorphism group of a factor of type II₁. This has been proved in the abelian case by Ioana, Peterson and Popa [A. Ioana, J. Peterson, S. Popa, Amalgamated free products of w-rigid factors and calculation of their symmetry group, math.OA/0505589, Acta Math., in press] applying Popa's deformation/rigidity techniques to amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras. Our methods are a generalization of theirs.     

Frustrated quantum two-dimensional J1-J2-J3 antiferromagnet in a spherically symmetric self-consistent approach

In the framework of a spherically symmetric self-consistent approach to two-time retarded spin-spin Green’s functions, we develop the theory of a two-dimensional frustrated J ₁ -J ₂ -J ₃ quantum S=1/2 antiferromagnet. We show that taking the damping of spin fluctuations into account is decisive in forming both the spin-liquid state and the state with long-range order. In particular, the existence of damping allows explaining the scaling behavior of the susceptibility χ(q, ω) of the CuO ₂ cuprate plane, the behavior of the spin spectrum in the two-plane case, and the occurrence of an incommensurable χ(q, ω) peak. In the case of the complete J₁-J ₂ -J ₃ model, in a single analytic approach, we find continuous transitions between three phases with long-range order (“checkerboard,” stripe, and helical (q, q) phases) through the spin-liquid state. We obtain good agreement with cluster computations for the J ₁ -J ₂ -J ₃ model and agreement with the neutron scattering data for the J ₁ -J ₂ model of cuprates.     

A residual transcendental extension of a valuation on K to K(x1, … , xn)

Let v be a valuation of a field K, G_v its value group and k_v its residue field. Let w be an extension of v to K(x₁, … , x_n). w is called a residual transcendental extension of v if k_w/k_v is a transcendental extension. In this study a residual transcendental extension w of v to K(x₁, … , x_n) such that transdegk_w/k_v = n is defined and some considerations related with this valuation are given.
