Properties of cyclic subspace regression

Various properties of the regression vector produced by cyclic subspace regression with regard to the meancentered linear regression equation are put forth. In particular, the subspace associated with the creation of is shown to contain a basis that maximizes certain covariances with respect to , the orthogonal projection of onto a specific subspace of the range of X. This basis is constructed. Moreover, this paper shows how the maximum covariance values effect the . Several alternative representations of are also developed. These representations show that is a modified version of the l-factor principal components regression vector , with the modification occurring by a nonorthogonal projection. Additionally, these representations enable prediction properties associated with to be explicitly identified. Finally, methods for choosing factors are spelled out.     

The Cayley transform and uniformly bounded representations

Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, with Iwasawa decomposition and Bruhat big cell . Then the space may be (almost) identified with N and with K/M, and these identifications induce the (generalised) Cayley transform . We show that is a conformal map of Carnot-Caratheodory manifolds, and that composition with the Cayley transform, combined with multiplication by appropriate powers of the Jacobian, induces isomorphisms of Sobolev spaces and . We use this to construct uniformly bounded and slowly growing representations of G.     

Functor category dualities for varieties of Heyting algebras

Let be a finitely generated variety of Heyting algebras and let be the class of subdirectly irreducible algebras in . We prove that is dually equivalent to a category of functors from into the category of Boolean spaces. The main tool is the theory of multisorted natural dualities.     

Geodesic currents and Teichmüller space

Consider a hyperbolic surface X of infinite area. The Liouville map assigns to any quasiconformal deformation of X a measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering X? of X. We show that the Liouville map is a homeomorphism from the Teichmüller space onto its image, and that the image is closed and unbounded. The set of asymptotic rays to consists of all bounded measured laminations on X. Hence, the set of projective bounded measured laminations is a natural boundary for . The action of the quasiconformal mapping class group on continuously extends to this boundary for .     

Signatures of foliated surface bundles and the symplectomorphism groups of surfaces

For any closed oriented surface Σ_g of genus g?3, we prove the existence of foliatedΣ_g-bundles over surfaces such that the signatures of the total spaces are non-zero. We can arrange that the total holonomy of the horizontal foliations preserve a prescribed symplectic form ω on the fiber. We relate the cohomology class represented by the transverse symplectic form to a crossed homomorphism which is an extension of the flux homomorphism from the identity component to the whole group of symplectomorphisms of Σ_g with respect to the symplectic form ω.     

Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .     

On twisted representations of vertex algebras

In this paper, we develop a formalism for working with representations of vertex and conformal algebras by generalized fields—formal power series involving non-integer powers of the variable. The main application of our technique is the construction of a large family of representations for the vertex superalgebra corresponding to an integer lattice Λ. For an automorphism coming from a finite-order automorphism we find the conditions for existence of twisted modules of . We show that the category of twisted representations of is semisimple with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects.     

Superinjective simplicial maps of complexes of curves and injective homomorphisms of subgroups of mapping class groups

Let S be a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3, be the complex of curves on S and be the extended mapping class group of S. We prove that a simplicial map, , preserves nondisjointness (i.e. if α and β are two vertices in and i(α,β)≠0, then i(λ(α),λ(β))≠0) iff it is induced by a homeomorphism of S. As a corollary, we prove that if K is a finite index subgroup of and is an injective homomorphism, then f is induced by a homeomorphism of S and f has a unique extension to an automorphism of .     

Congruences involving Bernoulli and Euler numbers

Let [x] be the integral part of x. Let p>5 be a prime. In the paper we mainly determine , , and in terms of Euler and Bernoulli numbers. For example, we have
