The Graded Algebra Generated by Two Eulerian Derivatives

We study the algebra R _p,q generated by the Eulerian derivatives for two parameters p and q. Subject to certain conditions on the parameters, we show that R _p,q is a finitely presented N-graded algebra of Gelfand–Kirillov dimension 3. We establish a criterion for the cyclic module R _p,q /R _p,q f to be Noetherian, where f is homogeneous of degree 1. For some choices of the parameters, this criterion always holds and we know of no situation where it fails. It is not known whether R _p,q is Noetherian. We classify the point modules for R _p,q and determine the normal elements and graded automorphisms for R _p,q .     

An upper bound for the minimum weight of dual codes of Figueroa planes

In this note we give an explicit construction for words of weight 2q³ - q² - q in the dual p-ary code of the Figueroa plane of order q³, where q > 2 is any power of the prime p. When p is odd this then allows us, for the Figueroa planes, to improve on the previously known upper bound of 2q³ for the minimum weight of the dual p-ary code of any plane of order q³. The construction is the same as one that applies to desarguesian planes of order q³ as described in [3].     

On the Theory of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>)-Banach Lattices

Given 1≤ p,q < ∞, let BL_pL_q be the class of all Banach lattices X such that X is isometrically lattice isomorphic to a band in some L_p(L_q)-Banach lattice. We show that the range of a positive contractive projection on any BL_pL_q-Banach lattice is itself in BL_pL_q. It is a consequence of this theorem and previous results that BL_pL_q is first-order axiomatizable in the language of Banach lattices. By studying the pavings of arbitrary BL_pL_q-Banach lattices by finite dimensional sublattices that are themselves in this class, we give an explicit set of axioms for BL_pL_q. We also consider the class of all sublattices of L_p(L_q)-Banach lattices; for this class (when p/q is not an integer) we give a set of axioms that are similar to Krivine’s well-known axioms for the subspaces of L_p-Banach spaces (when p/2 is not an integer). We also extend this result to the limiting case q = ∞.     

The classification of spreads in PG(3, q) admitting linear groups of order q(q+1), I. odd order

A classification is given of all spreads in PG(3, q), q = p^r, p odd, whose associated translation planes admit linear collineation groups of order q(q +1) such that a Sylow p-subgroup fixes a line and acts non-trivially on it.The authors are indebted to T. Penttila for pointing out the special examples of conical flock translation planes of order q² that admit groups of order q(q+1), when q = 23 or 47.     

On Connected Transversals to Subgroups Whose Order is a Product of Two Primes

We consider finite groups which have connected transversals to subgroups whose order is a product of two primespandq. We investigate those values ofpandqfor which the group is soluble. We can show that the solubility of the group follows ifq = 2 andp ≤ 61,q = 3 andp ≤ 31,q = 5 andp ≤ 11. We then apply our results on loop theory and we show that if the inner mapping group of a finite loop has orderpqwherepandqare as above then the loop is soluble.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic quasi Gibbs measures for <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> + 1-state Potts model on the Cayley tree

In the present paper we introduce a new kind of p-adic measures, associated with q + 1-state Potts model, called p-adic quasi Gibbs measure, which is totally different from the p-adic Gibbs measure. We establish the existence of p-adic quasi Gibbs measures for the model on a Cayley tree. If q is divisible by p, then we prove the occurrence of a strong phase transition. If q and p are relatively prime, then there is a quasi phase transition. These results are totally different from the results of [F. M. Mukhamedov and U. A. Rozikov, Indag. Math. N. S. 15, 85–100 (2005)], since when q is divisible by p, which means that q + 1 is not divided by p, so according to a main result of the mentioned paper, there is a unique and bounded p-adic Gibbs measure (different from p-adic quasi Gibbs measure)     

Clifford algebra and the Lorentz transformation with (p, q) form

In this paper, the concepts of Lorentz inner product with (p, q) form, the Lorentz space and the Lorentz transformation with (p, q) form are given by using Clifford algebra. It is shown that L_m^p,q is the Lorentz transformation with (p, q) form, and the matrix equality relation of Minkowski space with (n − 1, 1) form is given. The examples are given to illustrate the corresponding results.     

The H?lder-Poincaré duality for L q,p -cohomology

We prove the following version of Poincaré duality for reduced L _q,p -cohomology: For any 1 < q, p < ∞, the L _q,p -cohomology of a Riemannian manifold is in duality with the interior L _p',q'-cohomology for 1/p + 1/p′ = 1/q + 1/q′ = 1.     

Archimedean classes in integral commutative residuated chains

This paper investigates a quasi‐variety of representable integral commutative residuated lattices axiomatized by the quasi‐identity resulting from the well‐known Wajsberg identity (p → q) → q ≤ (q → p) → p if it is written as a quasi‐identity, i. e., (p → q) → q ≈ 1 ? (q → p) → p ≈ 1 . We prove that this quasi‐identity is strictly weaker than the corresponding identity. On the other hand, we show that the resulting quasi‐variety is in fact a variety and provide an axiomatization. The obtained results shed some light on the structure of Archimedean integral commutative residuated chains. Further, they can be applied to various subvarieties of MTL‐algebras, for instance we answer negatively Hájek's question asking whether the variety of ΠMTL‐algebras is generated by its Archimedean members (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Book Ramsey numbers. I

A book B_p is a graph consisting of p triangles sharing a common edge. In this paper we prove that if p ≤ q/6 ?o(q) and q is large, then the Ramsey number r (B_p,B_q) is given by r (B_p,B_q) = 2q+3, and the constant 1/6 is essentially best possible. Our proof is based on Szemerédi's uniformity lemma and a stability result for books. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2005     

Complete and Stable O(p+1)×O(q+1)-Invariant Hypersurfaces with Zero Scalar Curvature in Euclidean Space ℝ p+q+2

We classify the zero scalar curvature O(p+1)×O(q+1)-invariant hypersurfaces in the euclidean space ℝ ^p+q+2, p,q > 1, analyzing whether they are embedded and stable. The Morse index of the complete hypersurfaces show the existence of embedded, complete and globally stable zero scalar curvature O(p+1)×O(q+1)-invariant hypersurfaces in ℝ ^p+q+2, p+q≥ 7, which are not homeomorphic to ℝ ^p+q+1. Such stable examples provide counter-examples to a Bernstein-type conjecture in the stable class, for immersions with zero scalar curvature.

On a Criterion for Catalan's Conjecture

We give a new proof of a theorem of P. Mihailescu which states that the equation x ^p – y ^q = 1 is unsolvable with x, y integral and p, q odd primes, unless the congruences p ^q p (mod q ²) and q ^p q (mod p ²) hold.     

Multiple prime covers of the riemann sphere

A compact Riemann surface X of genus g≥2 which admits a cyclic group of automorphisms C _q of prime order q such that X/C _q has genus 0 is called a cyclic q-gonal surface. If a q-gonal surface X is also p-gonal for some prime p≠q, then X is called a multiple prime surface. In this paper, we classify all multiple prime surfaces. A consequence of this classification is a proof of the fact that a cyclic q-gonal surface can be cyclic p-gonal for at most one other prime p.     

Study of Some Fundamental Projective Quadrics Associated with a Standard Pseudo-Hermitian Space H p,q

This self-contained short note deals with the study of the properties of some real projective compact quadrics associated with a a standard pseudo-hermitian space H _p,q , namely [(Q(p, q))\tilde], [(Q_2p+1,1)\tilde], [(Q_1,2q+1)\tilde], [(H_p,q)\tilde].  [(Q(p, q))\tilde]{\widetilde{Q(p, q)}, \widetilde{Q_{2p+1,1}}, \widetilde{Q_{1,2q+1}}, \widetilde{H_{p,q}}. \, \widetilde{Q(p, q)}} is the (2n – 2) real projective quadric diffeomorphic to (S ^2p–1 × S ^2q–1)/Z ₂. inside the real projective space P(E ₁), where E ₁ is the real 2n-dimensional space subordinate to H _p,q . The properties of [(Q(p, q))\tilde]{\widetilde{Q(p, q)}} are investigated. [(H_p,q)\tilde]{\widetilde{H_p,q}} is the real (2n – 3)-dimensional compact manifold-(projective quadric)- associated with H _p,q , inside the complex projective space P(H _p,q ), diffeomorphic to (S ^2p–1 × S ^2q–1)/S ¹. The properties of [(H_p,q)\tilde]{\widetilde{H_{p,q}}} are studied. [(Q_2p+1,1)\tilde]{\widetilde{Q_{2p+1,1}}} is a 2p-dimensional standard real projective quadric, and [(Q_1,2q+1)\tilde]{\widetilde{Q_{1,2q+1}}} is another standard 2q-dimensional projective quadric. [(Q_2p+1,1)\tilde] è[(Q_1,2q+1)\tilde]{\widetilde{Q_{2p+1,1}} \cup \widetilde{Q_{1,2q+1}}}, union of two compact quadrics plays a part in the understanding of the "special pseudo-unitary conformal compactification" of H _p,q . It is shown how a distribution y → D _y , where y ? H\{0},H{y \in H\backslash\{0\},H} being the isotropic cone of H _p,q allows to [(H_p+1,q+1)\tilde]{\widetilde{H_{p+1,q+1}}} to be considered as a "special pseudo-unitary conformal compactified" of H _p,q × R. The following results precise the presentation given in [1,c].     

Some permutation groups of degreep=6q+1

Transitive permutation groups of degrees 43, 67, 79, 103 and 139 are classified.In this note we consider insoluble transitive permutation groups of degreeq = 6q+1 wherep andq are primes and summarise the computations whereby these groups have been classified for some small values ofq. The result which allows progress on this problem is due to McDonough [1]; he showed that if such a group has a Sylowp-normaliser of order 3p then it is isomorphic either toPSL(3, 3) orPAL(3, 5) (of degrees 13, 31 respectively). Using this theorem machine computations along the lines of those done by Parker, Nikolai and Appel [3, 2] for degreesp=2q+1 andp=4q+1 give the following     

COURBURE ET TORSION DANS LES ALGÈBRES DE CLIFFORD

Clifford Algebras generalize curvature and torsion in R(p; q) (p and q are positive integers and p + q = n dimension of the space). General formulas are obtained. We study the special case q = 0. Moreover if n = 3 we obtain Frenet formulas.

On recognizability of some finite simple orthogonal groups by spectrum

It is proved that, if G is a finite group that has the same set of element orders as the simple group D _p (q), where p is prime, p ≥ 5 and q ∈ {2, 3, 5}, then the commutator group of G/F(G) is isomorphic to D _p (q), the subgroup F(G) is equal to 1 for q = 5 and to O _q (G) for q ∈ {2, 3}, F(G) ≤ G′, and |G/G′| ≤ 2.     

Uniform convexity of unitary ideals

ItE is a symmetric Banach sequence which isq-concave with the constant equal to 1 (where 2≦q<∞), thenS _E isq-PL-convex. IfE isq-concave andp-convex with the constants equal to 1 (where 1<p≦2≦q<∞), thenS _E is uniformly convex with modulus of convexity of power typeq and uniformly smooth with modulus of smoothness of power typep.     

Unconditional bases in lp⊕lq, 0 < p < q < 1

We prove that every unconditional basis of l_p⊕l_q (0 < p < q < 1) is a disjoint union of two subsequences which span subspaces isomorphic to l_p and l_q respectively. This is an extension of a similar result of EDELSTEIN and WOJTASZCZYK [3] for 1 ≦ p < q <∞.     

Relative Position,Sequences and Operators in Banach Spaces

A (p + q) × (p + q) matrix-valued inner function S in the unit disc ?? is called (p, q)-type Arov-inner if in the block partition . the p × p diagonal block S₁₁ and the q × q diagonal block S₂₂ are outer matrix-valued functions. A holomorphic p × q matrix-valued function f in ?? is called Arov-completable if there is a (p, q)-type Arov-inner function S such that S₁₂ = f Arov-completability of a given p × q Schur function f is characterized in terms of a (p + q)-variate stationary sequence (X_{n) ? Z}) in Hilbert space which is naturally associated with f. The necessary and sufficient condition for Arov-completability is an orthogonality condition for certain backward and forward innovation vectors generated by (X_{n) ? Z}.
