Three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$=4 superconformal superfield theories

We consider the map of three-dimensional N=4 superfields to the N=3 harmonic superspace. The left and right representations of the N=4 superconformal group are constructed on N=3 analytic superfields. These representations are convenient for describing N=4 superconformal couplings of Abelian gauge superfields to hypermultiplets. We investigate the N=4 invariance in the non-Abelian N=3 Yang-Mills theory.     

The isomorphism between two-dimensional conformal field theories with the affine-sl(2) and theN=2 superconformal symmetry algebras

We discuss the one-to-one correspondence between two-dimensional conformal field theories with the affine-sl(2) and the N=2 superconformal symmetry algebras. We obtain the formulas relating zero-norm states in the two theories and the formulas expressing the partition function of the affine-sl(2) theory through the partition function of the theory with the N=2 superconformal symmetry algebra, and vice versa.

Twisted cocycles of lie algebras and corresponding invariant functions

We consider finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras. Using certain complex parameters we generalize the concept of cohomology cocycles of Lie algebras. A special case is generalization of 1-cocycles with respect to the adjoint representation - so called (α,β,γ)-derivations. Parametric sets of spaces of cocycles allow us to define complex functions which are invariant under Lie isomorphisms. Such complex functions thus represent useful invariants - we show how they classify three and four-dimensional Lie algebras as well as how they apply to some eight-dimensional one-parametric nilpotent continua of Lie algebras. These functions also provide necessary criteria for existence of 1-parametric continuous contraction.     

Boolean algebras of lattice uniformities and decompositions of modular functions

We study decomposition theorems for modular functions on lattices and the relationship between such decompositions and lattice properties of a suitable system of uniformities. We give a purely topological characterization for the validity of a decomposition theorem of a certain type and examine when this topological condition is satisfied, namely when a system of lattice uniformities is a Boolean algebra consisting of permutable uniformities.      

The classification of the simple modular lie algebras: V. algebras with Hamiltonian two-sections

We investigate the structure of simple modular Lie algebrasL over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 7. Every optimal torusT in some p-envelope ofL defines uniquely a subalgebraQ(L, T) ofL. We classify all L, for whichQ(L, T) ≠ L and which have a two-section of typeH (2; 1;Ф(τ))⁽¹⁾     

Inseparable extensions of algebras over the Steenrod algebra with applications to modular invariant theory of finite groups

We consider purely inseparable extensions of unstable Noetherian integral domains over the Steenrod algebra. It turns out that there exists a finite group and a vector space decomposition such that and , where denotes the integral closure. Moreover, is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if is Cohen-Macaulay. Furthermore, is polynomial if and only if is polynomial, and if and only if

Generating functions for vector partition functions and a basic recurrence relation

ABSTRACT

We define a generalized vector partition function and derive an identity for the generating series of such functions associated with solutions to basic recurrence relations of combinatorial analysis. As a consequence we obtain the generating function of the number of generalized lattice paths and a new version of the Chaundy-Bullard identity for the vector partition function.

Towards the classification of self-dual bent functions in eight variables

In this paper, we classify quadratic and cubic self-dual bent functions in eight variables with the help of computers. There are exactly four and 45 non-equivalent self-dual bent functions of degree two and three, respectively. This result is achieved by enumerating all eigenvectors with ± 1 entries of the Sylvester Hadamard matrix with an integer programming algorithm based on lattice basis reduction. The search space has been reduced by breaking the symmetry of the problem with the help of additional constraints. The final number of non-isomorphic self-dual bent functions has been determined by exploiting that EA-equivalence of Boolean functions is related to the equivalence of linear codes.     

Towards a theory of classification

The well-known difficulties arising in a classification which is not set-theoretically trivial—involving what is sometimes called a non-smooth quotient—have been overcome in a striking way in the theory of operator algebras by the use of what might be called a classification functor—the very existence of which is already a surprise. Here the notion of such a functor is developed abstractly, and a number of examples are considered (including those which have arisen for various classes of operator algebras).     

Towards a classification of modular compactifications of \mathcal {M}_{g,n}

The moduli space of smooth curves admits a beautiful compactification $\mathcal{M}_{g,n} \subset \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ by the moduli space of stable curves. In this paper, we undertake a systematic classification of alternate modular compactifications of $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ . Let $\mathcal{U}_{g,n}$ be the (non-separated) moduli stack of all n-pointed reduced, connected, complete, one-dimensional schemes of arithmetic genus g. When g=0, $\mathcal{U}_{0,n}$ is irreducible and we classify all open proper substacks of $\mathcal{U}_{0,n}$ . When g≥1, $\mathcal{U}_{g,n}$ may not be irreducible, but there is a unique irreducible component $\mathcal{V}_{g,n} \subset\mathcal{U}_{g,n}$ containing $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ . We classify open proper substacks of $\mathcal {V}_{g,n}$ satisfying a certain stability condition.     

On a certain class of modular functions

We give a characterization of those meromorphic modular functions on a subgroup of finite index of the full modular group whose divisors are supported at the cusps, in terms of the growth of the exponents of their infinite product expansions.

     

Boundaries for algebras of holomorphic functions

Let A_u(B_G) be the Banach algebra of all complex valued functions defined on the closed unit ball B_G of a complex Banach space G which are uniformly continuous on B_G and holomorphic in the interior of B_G, endowed with the sup norm. A characterization of the boundaries for A_u(B_G) is given in case G belongs to a class of Banach spaces that includes the pre-dual of a Lorentz sequence space studied by Gowers in Israel J. Math. 69 (1990) 129-151. The non-existence of the Shilov boundary for A_u(B_G) is also proved.     

A classification of orbits admitting a unique invariant measure

We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_{\infty }$-invariant and concentrated on a single isomorphism class must be zero, or one, or continuum. Further, such an isomorphism class admits a unique $S_{\infty }$-invariant probability measure precisely when the structure is highly homogeneous; by a result of Peter J. Cameron, these are the structures that are interdefinable with one of the five reducts of the rational linear order $(\mathbb{Q},<)$.     

Existence of invariant measures for transcendental subexpanding functions

We consider the problem of the existence of absolutely continuous invariant measures for transcendental meromorphic functions. We prove sufficient conditions for a subexpanding meromorphic function f to have a C-finite absolutely continuous invariant measure 7 and we find a class of functions satisfying these assumptions.
