Fixed points of posets and clique graphs

The fixed point property for partial orders has been the object of much attention in the past twenty years. Recently, M. Roddy ([7]) proved this famous conjecture of Rival (see [6]): the class of finite orders with the fixed point property is closed under finite products.In this article, we prove that a finite order has the fixed point property if the sequence of iterated clique graphs of its comparability graph tends to the trivial graph.     

On modules for which the finite exchange property implies the countable exchange property

It has been a long standing open problem whether the finite exchange property implies the full exchange property for an arbitrary module. The main results of this paper are Theorem 1.1: For modules whose idempotent endomorphisms are central, the finite exchange property implies the countable exchange property, and Theorem 2.11: Over a ring with ace on essential right ideals, the finite exchange property implies the full exchange property for every quasi-continuous module. The latter can be viewed as a partial affirmative answer to an open problem of Mohamed and Muller [8].     

Consistent lattices and Steinitz spaces

It is well-known that a finite lattice L is isomorphic to the lattice of flats of a matroid if and only if L is geometric. A result due to Edelman (see [1], Theorem 3.3) states that a lattice is meet-distributive if and only if it is isomorphic to the lattice of all closed sets of a convex geometry. In this note we prove that a finite lattice is the lattice of closed sets of a closure space with the Steinitz exchange property if and only if it is a consistent lattice.

The Exchange Property in Grothendieck Categories: Applications

We introduce the concept of an object with the (finite) exchange property in an arbitrary Grothendieck category, and we present the basic properties of such an object. Applications are given for categories of graded modules and for categories of comodules over a coalgebra. Among other results, it is proved that an arbitrary coalgebra 𝒞 over a field has the finite exchange property.     

Two Characterizations of Smooth Norms

In an arbitrary Minkowski space M, n2, let there be given an arbitrary finite set P of weighted points whose affine hull is n-dimensional. We show that the unit ball B of M has smooth boundary if and only if each median hyperplane (minimizing the sum of weighted distances with respect to P) is spanned by n affinely independent points from P. Moreover, B has the same property if and only if every center hyperplane (minimizing the maximal weighted distance with respect to P) has the same maximal distance to at least n+1 affinely independent points from P.     

The Fixed Point Property for Ordered Sets of Interval Dimension 2

We provide a polynomial time algorithm that identifies if a given finite ordered set is in the class of d2-collapsible ordered sets. For a d2-collapsible ordered set, the algorithm also determines if the ordered set is connectedly collapsible. Because finite ordered sets of interval dimension 2 are d2-collapsible, in particular, the algorithm determines in polynomial time if a given finite ordered set of interval dimension 2 has the fixed point property. This result is also a first step in investigating the complexity status of the question whether a given collapsible ordered set has the fixed point property.     

Permanence of Metric Sparsification Property under Finite Decomposition Complexity

The notions of metric sparsification property and finite decomposition com- plexity are recently introduced in metric geometry to study the coarse Novikov conjecture and the stable Borel conjecture. In this paper, it is proved that a metric space X has finite decomposition complexity with respect to metric sparsification property if and only if X itself has metric sparsification property. As a consequence, the authors obtain an alterna- tive proof of a very recent result by Guentner, Tessera and Yu that all countable linear groups have the metric sparsification property and hence the operator norm localization property.     

Geometric exchange properties in lattices of finite length

We investigate geometric exchange properties in lattices of finite length that generalize the Steinitz exchange property of finite-dimensional vector spaces. In particular, we show that a stronger version of MacLane's exchange property for semimodular lattices is equivalent to the join-symmetric exchange property of Gaskill and Rival for modular lattices and, furthermore, that this exchange property characterizes strong semimodular lattices. An analogue of the basis exchange property for matroids is considered and seen to distinguish strong lattices in the class of semimodular lattices.Presented by I. Rival.     

Complex hyperbolic hyperplane complements

We study spaces obtained from a complete finite volume complex hyperbolic n-manifold M by removing a compact totally geodesic complex (n − 1)-submanifold S. The main result is that the fundamental group of M\ S{M{\setminus} S} is relatively hyperbolic, relative to fundamental groups of the ends of M\ S{M{\setminus} S} , and M\ S{M{\setminus} S} admits a complete finite volume A-regular Riemannian metric of negative sectional curvature. It follows that for n > 1 the fundamental group of M\ S{M{\setminus} S} satisfies Mostow-type Rigidity, has solvable word and conjugacy problems, has finite asymptotic dimension and rapid decay property, satisfies Borel and Baum-Connes conjectures, is co-Hopf and residually hyperbolic, has no nontrivial subgroups with property (T), and has finite outer automorphism group. Furthermore, if M is compact, then the fundamental group of M\ S{M{\setminus} S} is biautomatic and satisfies Strong Tits Alternative.     

H-supplemented Modules and Generalizations of Quasi-discrete Modules

In this article, we introduce a generalization of quasi-discrete (a GQD-module) by using the notion of H-supplemented modules and investigate some properties of GQD-modules. First we consider some properties of a relative radical projectivity which is useful in analyzing the structure of H-supplemented modules. We apply them to the study of direct sums of GQD-modules. Moreover, we prove that any H-supplemented (lifting) module with finite internal exchange properly (FIEP) has an indecomposable decomposition and show that, for an H-supplemented (lifting) module, the finite exchange property implies the full exchange property.     

ON THE FINITENESS PROPERTIES OF THE GENERALIZED LOCAL COHOMOLOGY MODULES

Abstract

The question, posed in Crawley and Jónsson (Crawley, P., Jónsson, B. (1964). Refinements for infinite direct decompositions of algebraic systems. Pacific J. Math. 14:797–855), whether the finite exchange property implies the unrestricted exchange property for any modules, is still open. In this note we obtain the equivalence of the finite exchange property and the unrestricted exchange property for the class of modules whose endomorphism rings are Abelian.     

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis><Subscript>π</Subscript> property of finite groups in the case 2 ∉ π

The characterization of finite simple groups with the D _π property for any set π of odd prime numbers is completed. It was proved earlier that a finite group has the D _π property if and only if each of its composition factors has this property, hence the results of the paper provide an exhaustive characterization of the D _π property for all finite groups with known composition factors in the case 2 ? π.     

Ojective ideals in modular lattices

The concept of an extending ideal in a modular lattice is introduced. A translation of module-theoretical concept of ojectivity (i.e. generalized relative injectivity) in the context of the lattice of ideals of a modular lattice is introduced. In a modular lattice satisfying a certain condition, a characterization is given for direct summands of an extending ideal to be mutually ojective. We define exchangeable decomposition and internal exchange property of an ideal in a modular lattice. It is shown that a finite decomposition of an extending ideal is exchangeable if and only if its summands are mutually ojective.     

On strong embeddability and finite decomposition complexity

The strong embeddability is a notion of metric geometry, which is an intermediate property lying between coarse embeddability and property A. In this paper, we study the permanence properties of strong embeddability for metric spaces. We show that strong embeddability is coarsely invariant and it is closed under taking subspaces, direct products, direct limits and finite unions. Furthermore, we show that a metric space is strongly embeddable if and only if it has weak finite decomposition complexity with respect to strong embeddability.     

Pseudofinite homogeneity, isolation, and reducibility

It has been proved (by S. M. Dudakov and M. A. Taitslin) that the reducibility of some models of a theory implies the second pseudofinite homogeneity property for this theory. We prove the converse, namely, that any theory with the first or the second pseudofinite homogeneity property has a reducible model and, therefore, possesses the second isolation property. This also proves the equivalence of the second isolation property and the second pseudofinite homogeneity property, in contrast to the first pseudofinite homogeneity property, which is more general than the first isolation property (this was established by O. V. Belegradek, A. P. Stolboushin, and M. A. Taitslin).     

The metric approximation property,norm-one projections and intersection properties of balls

We show that ifE is a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property thenE has the metric approximation property if and only if the space of finite rank operators is locally complemented in the space of bounded operators.     

Polynomes a valeurs entieres sur un anneau de pseudovaluation

We study the ring of integral valued polynomials over a pseudovaluation domain A. We entirely determine the set of prime ideals above the maximal ideal M of A: if M is a principal ideal in the valuation domain V associated with A and if its residue field is finite, then this set is in bijection with a topologically complete ring, as in the Noetherian case; if M is principal but of infinite residue field in V, then this set is finite; at last, if M is not principal, then the ring of integral valued polynomials is included in V[X] and has the same set of prime ideals above M.     

Comparability invariance of the fixed point property

We show that the fixed point property is comparability invariant for finite ordered sets; that is, if P and Q are finite ordered sets with isomorphic comparability graphs, then P has the fixed point property if and only if Q does. In the process we give a characterization of comparability invariants which can also be used to give shorter proofs of some known results.     

Operator norm localization property of metric spaces under finite decomposition complexity

The notions of operator norm localization property and finite decomposition complexity were recently introduced in metric geometry to study the coarse Novikov conjecture and the stable Borel conjecture. In this paper we show that a metric space X has weak finite decomposition complexity with respect to the operator norm localization property if and only if X itself has the operator norm localization property. It follows that any metric space with finite decomposition complexity has the operator norm localization property. In particular, we obtain an alternative way to prove a very recent result by E. Guentner, R. Tessera and G. Yu that all countable linear groups have the operator norm localization property.
