Semigroups of rectangular matrices under a sandwich operation

Let \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}={\mathcal {M}}_{mn}({\mathbb {F}})\) denote the set of all \(m\times n\) matrices over a field \({\mathbb {F}}\), and fix some \(n\times m\) matrix \(A\in {\mathcal {M}}_{nm}\). An associative operation \(\star \) may be defined on \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}\) by \(X\star Y=XAY\) for all \(X,Y\in {\mathcal {M}}_{mn}\), and the resulting sandwich semigroup is denoted \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A={\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A({\mathbb {F}})\). These semigroups are closely related to Munn rings, which are fundamental tools in the representation theory of finite semigroups. We study \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A\) as well as its subsemigroups \(\hbox {Reg}({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A)\) and \({\mathcal {E}}_{mn}^A\) (consisting of all regular elements and products of idempotents, respectively), and the ideals of \(\hbox {Reg}({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A)\). Among other results, we characterise the regular elements; determine Green’s relations and preorders; calculate the minimal number of matrices (or idempotent matrices, if applicable) required to generate each semigroup we consider; and classify the isomorphisms between finite sandwich semigroups \({\mathcal {M}}_{mn}^A({\mathbb {F}}_1)\) and \({\mathcal {M}}_{kl}^B({\mathbb {F}}_2)\). Along the way, we develop a general theory of sandwich semigroups in a suitably defined class of partial semigroups related to Ehresmann-style “arrows only” categories; we hope this framework will be useful in studies of sandwich semigroups in other categories. We note that all our results have applications to the variants \({\mathcal {M}}_n^A\) of the full linear monoid \({\mathcal {M}}_n\) (in the case \(m=n\)), and to certain semigroups of linear transformations of restricted range or kernel (in the case that \(\hbox {rank}(A)\) is equal to one of m, n).     

Malcev Products of Monoids and Varieties of Bands

As a generalization of completely regular semigroups, which can be written as \({\mathcal{(G \circ RB) \circ S}}\) where \({\mathcal{G}}\), \({\mathcal{RB}}\) and \({\mathcal S}\) are the varieties of groups, rectangular bands and semilattices, respectively, we have replaced \({\mathcal G}\) by the class \({\mathcal M}\) of monoids. This calls for finding the structure of such semigroups, and, as a first step, characterizations.     

Derivations,Local and 2-Local Derivations on Some Algebras of Operators on Hilbert C*-Modules

For a commutative C*-algebra \({\mathcal {A}}\) with unit e and a Hilbert \({\mathcal {A}}\)-module \({\mathcal {M}}\), denote by End\(_{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {M}})\) the algebra of all bounded \({\mathcal {A}}\)-linear mappings on \({\mathcal {M}}\), and by End\(^*_{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {M}})\) the algebra of all adjointable mappings on \({\mathcal {M}}\). We prove that if \({\mathcal {M}}\) is full, then each derivation on End\(_{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {M}})\) is \({\mathcal {A}}\)-linear, continuous, and inner, and each 2-local derivation on End\(_{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {M}})\) or End\(^{*}_{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {M}})\) is a derivation. If there exist \(x_0\) in \({\mathcal {M}}\) and \(f_0\) in \({\mathcal {M}}^{'}\), such that \(f_0(x_0)=e\), where \({\mathcal {M}}^{'}\) denotes the set of all bounded \({\mathcal {A}}\)-linear mappings from \({\mathcal {M}}\) to \({\mathcal {A}}\), then each \({\mathcal {A}}\)-linear local derivation on End\(_{{\mathcal {A}}}({\mathcal {M}})\) is a derivation.     

Centralizing traces with automorphisms on triangular algebras

Let \({\mathcal{T}}\) be a triangular algebra over a commutative ring \({\mathcal{R}}\), \({\xi}\) be an automorphism of \({\mathcal{T}}\) and \({\mathcal{Z}_{\xi}(\mathcal{T})}\) be the \({\xi}\)-center of \({\mathcal{T}}\). Suppose that \({\mathfrak{q}\colon \mathcal{T}\times \mathcal{T}\longrightarrow \mathcal{T}}\) is an \({\mathcal{R}}\)-bilinear mapping and that \({\mathfrak{T}_{\mathfrak{q}}\colon \mathcal{T}\longrightarrow \mathcal{T}}\) is a trace of \({\mathfrak{q}}\). The aim of this article is to describe the form of \({\mathfrak{T}_{\mathfrak{q}}}\) satisfying the commuting condition \({[\mathfrak{T}_{\mathfrak{q}}(x), x]_{\xi}=0}\) (resp. the centralizing condition \({[\mathfrak{T}_{\mathfrak{q}}(x), x]_{\xi}\in \mathcal{Z}_\xi(\mathcal{T})}\)) for all \({x\in \mathcal{T}}\). More precisely, we will consider the question of when \({\mathfrak{T}_{\mathfrak{q}}}\) satisfying the previous condition has the so-called proper form.     

Decorated marked surfaces: spherical twists versus braid twists

We are interested in the 3-Calabi-Yau categories \({\mathcal {D}}\) arising from quivers with potential associated to a triangulated marked surface \(\mathbf {S}\) (without punctures). We prove that the spherical twist group \(\mathrm{ST}\) of \({\mathcal {D}}\) is isomorphic to a subgroup (generated by braid twists) of the mapping class group of the decorated marked surface \({\mathbf {S}}_\bigtriangleup \). Here \({\mathbf {S}}_\bigtriangleup \) is the surface obtained from \(\mathbf {S}\) by decorating with a set of points, where the number of points equals the number of triangles in any triangulations of \(\mathbf {S}\). For instance, when \(\mathbf {S}\) is an annulus, the result implies that the corresponding spaces of stability conditions on \({\mathcal {D}}\) are contractible.     

On the additivity of block designs

We show that symmetric block designs \({\mathcal {D}}=({\mathcal {P}},{\mathcal {B}})\) can be embedded in a suitable commutative group \({\mathfrak {G}}_{\mathcal {D}}\) in such a way that the sum of the elements in each block is zero, whereas the only Steiner triple systems with this property are the point-line designs of \({\mathrm {PG}}(d,2)\) and \({\mathrm {AG}}(d,3)\). In both cases, the blocks can be characterized as the only k-subsets of \(\mathcal {P}\) whose elements sum to zero. It follows that the group of automorphisms of any such design \(\mathcal {D}\) is the group of automorphisms of \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) that leave \(\mathcal {P}\) invariant. In some special cases, the group \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) can be determined uniquely by the parameters of \(\mathcal {D}\). For instance, if \(\mathcal {D}\) is a 2-\((v,k,\lambda )\) symmetric design of prime order p not dividing k, then \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) is (essentially) isomorphic to \(({\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})^{\frac{v-1}{2}}\), and the embedding of the design in the group can be described explicitly. Moreover, in this case, the blocks of \(\mathcal {B}\) can be characterized also as the v intersections of \(\mathcal {P}\) with v suitable hyperplanes of \(({\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})^{\frac{v-1}{2}}\).     

Dirac–Krein Systems on Star Graphs

Suppose that \({\mathcal {M}}\) is a countably decomposable type II\({_1}\) von Neumann algebra and \({\mathcal {A}}\) is a separable, non-nuclear, unital C\({^*}\)-algebra. We show that, if \({\mathcal {M}}\) has Property \({\Gamma}\), then the similarity degree of \({\mathcal {M}}\) is less than or equal to 5. If \({\mathcal {A}}\) has Property c\({^*}\)-\({\Gamma}\), then the similarity degree of \({\mathcal {A}}\) is equal to 3. In particular, the similarity degree of a \({\mathcal {Z}}\)-stable, separable, non-nuclear, unital C\({^*}\)-algebra is equal to 3.     

Clusters of varieties of completely regular semigroups

The class \({\mathcal{CR}}\) of completely regular semigroups equipped with the unary operation of inversion forms a variety whose lattice of subvarieties is denoted by \({\mathcal{L(CR)}}\). The variety \({\mathcal B}\) of all bands induces two relations \({\mathbf{B}^{\land}}\) and \({\mathbf{B}^{\lor} }\) by meet and join with \({\mathcal B}\). Their classes are intervals with lower ends \({\mathcal V_{B^{\land}}}\) and \({\mathcal V_{B^{\lor}}}\), and upper ends \({\mathcal V^{B^{\land}}}\) and \({\mathcal V^{B^{\lor}}}\). These objects induce four operators on \({\mathcal{L(CR)}}\).The cluster at a variety \({\mathcal V}\) is the set of all varieties obtained from \({\mathcal V}\) by repeated application of these four operators. We identify the cluster at any variety in \({\mathcal{L(CR)}}\).     

Joins and subdirect products of varieties

We generalise in three different directions two well-known results in universal algebra. Grätzer, Lakser and P?onka proved that independent subvarieties \({\mathcal{V}_{1}, \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) of a variety \({\mathcal{V}}\) are disjoint and such that their join \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \vee \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) (in the lattice of subvarieties of \({\mathcal{V}}\)) is their direct product \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \times \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) . Jónsson and Tsinakis provided a partial converse to this result: if \({\mathcal{V}}\) is congruence permutable and \({\mathcal{V}_{1}, \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) are disjoint, then they are independent (and so \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \vee \mathcal{V}_{2} = \mathcal{V}_{1} \times \mathcal{V}_{2}}\)). We show that (i) if \({\mathcal{V}}\) is subtractive, then Jónsson’s and Tsinakis’ result holds under some minimal assumptions; (ii) if \({\mathcal{V}}\) satisfies some weakened permutability conditions, then disjointness implies a generalised notion of independence and \({\mathcal{V}_{1} \vee \mathcal{V}_{2}}\) is the subdirect product of \({\mathcal{V}_{1}}\) and \({\mathcal{V}_2}\) ; (iii) the same holds if \({\mathcal{V}}\) is congruence 3-permutable.     

Tempered representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic groups: special idempotents and topology

Let \(G=G(k)\) be a connected reductive group over a p-adic field k. The smooth (and tempered) complex representations of G can be considered as the nondegenerate modules over the Hecke algebra \({\mathcal {H}}={\mathcal {H}}(G)\) and the Schwartz algebra \({\mathcal {S}}={\mathcal {S}}(G)\) forming abelian categories \({\mathcal {M}}(G)\) and \({\mathcal {M}}^t(G)\), respectively. Idempotents \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) or \({\mathcal {S}}\) define full subcategories \({\mathcal {M}}_e(G)= \{V : {\mathcal {H}}eV=V\}\) and \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G)= \{V : {\mathcal {S}}eV=V\}\). Such an e is said to be special (in \({\mathcal {H}}\) or \({\mathcal {S}}\)) if the corresponding subcategory is abelian. Parallel to Bernstein’s result for \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) we will prove that, for special \(e \in {\mathcal {S}}\), \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G) = \prod _{\Theta \in \theta _e} {\mathcal {M}}^t(\Theta )\) is a finite direct product of component categories \({\mathcal {M}}^t(\Theta )\), now referring to connected components of the center of \({\mathcal {S}}\). A special \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) will be also special in \({\mathcal {S}}\), but idempotents \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) not being special can become special in \({\mathcal {S}}\). To obtain conditions we consider the sets \(\mathrm{Irr}^t(G) \subset \mathrm{Irr}(G)\) of (tempered) smooth irreducible representations of G, and we view \(\mathrm{Irr}(G)\) as a topological space for the Jacobson topology defined by the algebra \({\mathcal {H}}\). We use this topology to introduce a preorder on the connected components of \(\mathrm{Irr}^t(G)\). Then we prove that, for an idempotent \(e \in {\mathcal {H}}\) which becomes special in \({\mathcal {S}}\), its support \(\theta _e\) must be saturated with respect to that preorder. We further analyze the above decomposition of \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G)\) in the case where G is k-split with connected center and where \(e = e_J \in {\mathcal {H}}\) is the Iwahori idempotent. Here we can use work of Kazhdan and Lusztig to relate our preorder on the support \(\theta _{e_J}\) to the reverse of the natural partial order on the unipotent classes in G. We finish by explicitly computing the case \(G=GL_n\), where \(\theta _{e_J}\) identifies with the set of partitions of n. Surprisingly our preorder (which is a partial order now) is strictly coarser than the reverse of the dominance order on partitions.     

Unitary Equivalence of Composition C$$^*$$-Algebras on the Hardy and Weighted Bergman Spaces

Let \(\varphi \) be an arbitrary linear-fractional self-map of the unit disk \({\mathbb {D}}\) and consider the composition operator \(C_{-1, \varphi }\) and the Toeplitz operator \(T_{-1,z}\) on the Hardy space \(H^2\) and the corresponding operators \(C_{\alpha , \varphi }\) and \(T_{\alpha , z}\) on the weighted Bergman spaces \(A^2_{\alpha }\) for \(\alpha >-1\). We prove that the unital C\(^*\)-algebra \(C^*(T_{\alpha , z}, C_{\alpha , \varphi })\) generated by \(T_{\alpha , z}\) and \(C_{\alpha , \varphi }\) is unitarily equivalent to \(C^*(T_{-1, z}, C_{-1, \varphi }),\) which extends a known result for automorphism-induced composition operators. For maps \(\varphi \) that are not automorphisms of \({\mathbb {D}}\), we show that \(C^*(C_{\alpha , \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{\alpha })\) is unitarily equivalent to \(C^*(C_{-1, \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{-1})\), where \({\mathcal {K}}_{\alpha }\) and \({\mathcal {K}}_{-1}\) denote the ideals of compact operators on \(A^2_{\alpha }\) and \(H^2\), respectively, and apply existing structure theorems for \(C^*(C_{-1, \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{-1})/{\mathcal {K}}_{-1}\) to describe the structure of \(C^*(C_{\alpha , \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{\alpha })/\mathcal {K_{\alpha }}\), up to isomorphism. We also establish a unitary equivalence between related weighted composition operators induced by maps \(\varphi \) that fix a point on the unit circle.     

Global determinism of normal orthogroups

If S is a semigroup, the global (or the power semigroup) of S is the set \(\mathcal {P}(S)\) of all nonempty subsets of S equipped with the naturally defined multiplication. A class \(\mathcal {K}\) of semigroups is globally determined if any two semigroups of \({\mathcal {K}}\) with isomorphic globals are themselves isomorphic. We study properties of globals of normal orthogroups and show, in particular, that the class of normal orthogroups is globally determined.     

Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind via raising operator preserving the orthogonality

It is well known that monic orthogonal polynomial sequences \(\{T_n\}_{n\ge 0}\) and \(\{U_n\}_{n\ge 0}\), the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind, satisfy the relation \(DT_{n+1}=(n+1)U_n\) (\(n\ge 0\)). One can also easily check that the following “inverse” of the mentioned formula holds: \({\mathcal {U}}_{-1}(U_n)=(n+1)T_{n+1}\) (\(n\ge 0\)), where \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi =x(xD+{\mathbb {I}})+\xi D\) with \(\xi \) being an arbitrary nonzero parameter and \({\mathbb {I}}\) representing the identity operator. Note that whereas the first expression involves the operator D which lowers the degree by one, the second one involves \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi \) which raises the degree by one (i.e. it is a “raising operator”). In this paper it is shown that the scaled Chebyshev polynomial sequence \(\{a^{-n}U_n(ax)\}_{n\ge 0}\) where \(a^2=-\xi ^{-1}\), is actually the only monic orthogonal polynomial sequence which is \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi \)-classical (i.e. for which the application of the raising operator \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi \) turns the original sequence into another orthogonal one).     

Mutually prime sequences of inner functions and the ranks of subspaces over the bidisk

Let \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) be a sequence of inner functions satisfying that \({\zeta_n(z):=\varphi_n(z)/\varphi_{n+1}(z)\in H^\infty(z)}\) for every n ≥ 0 and \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) have no nonconstant common inner divisors. Associated with it, we have a Rudin type invariant subspace \({\mathcal{M}}\) of \({H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)}\) . We write \({\mathcal{N}= H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus\mathcal{M}}\) . If \({\{\zeta_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) ia a mutually prime sequence, then we shall prove that \({rank_{\{T^\ast_z,T^\ast_w\}} \mathcal{N}=1}\) and \({rank_{\{\mathcal{F}^\ast_z\}}(\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M})=1}\) , where \({\mathcal{F}_z}\) is the fringe operator on \({\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M}}\) .     

Uniqueness of self-shrinkers to the degree-one curvature flow with a tangent cone at infinity

Given a smooth, symmetric and homogeneous of degree one function \(f\left( \lambda _{1},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\right) \) satisfying \(\partial _{i}f>0\quad \forall \,i=1,\ldots , n\), and a properly embedded smooth cone \({\mathcal {C}}\) in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n+1}\), we show that under suitable conditions on f, there is at most one f self-shrinker (i.e. a hypersurface \(\Sigma \) in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n+1}\) satisfying \(f\left( \kappa _{1},\ldots ,\kappa _{n}\right) +\frac{1}{2}X\cdot N=0\), where \(\kappa _{1},\ldots ,\kappa _{n}\) are principal curvatures of \(\Sigma \)) that is asymptotic to the given cone \({\mathcal {C}}\) at infinity.     

On the Convergence to Equilibrium of Unbounded Observables Under a Family of Intermittent Interval Maps

We consider a family \({\{T_{r}: [0, 1] \circlearrowleft \}_{r\in[0, 1]}}\) of Markov interval maps interpolating between the tent map \({T_{0}}\) and the Farey map \({T_{1}}\). Letting \({\mathcal{P}_{r}}\) denote the Perron–Frobenius operator of \({T_{r}}\), we show, for \({\beta \in [0, 1]}\) and \({\alpha \in (0, 1)}\), that the asymptotic behaviour of the iterates of \({\mathcal{P}_{r}}\) applied to observables with a singularity at \({\beta}\) of order \({\alpha}\) is dependent on the structure of the \({\omega}\)-limit set of \({\beta}\) with respect to \({T_{r}}\). The results presented here are some of the first to deal with convergence to equilibrium of observables with singularities.     

Heat kernel approach for sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight

In this article, using the heat kernel approach from Bouche (Asymptotic results for Hermitian line bundles over complex manifolds: The heat kernel approach, Higher-dimensional complex varieties, pp 67–81, de Gruyter, Berlin, 1996), we derive sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight. Let \({\Gamma\subset \mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})}\) be a cocompact Fuchsian subgroup of first kind. For \({k \in \frac{1}{2} \mathbb{Z}}\) (or \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)), let \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\) denote the complex vector space of cusp forms of weight-k and nebentypus \({\nu^{2k}}\) (\({\nu^{k\slash 2}}\), if \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)) with respect to \({\Gamma}\), where \({\nu}\) is a unitary character. Let \({\lbrace f_{1},\ldots,f_{j_{k}} \rbrace}\) denote an orthonormal basis of \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\). In this article, we show that as \({k \rightarrow \infty,}\) the sup-norm for \({\sum_{i=1}^{j_{k}}y^{k}|f_{i}(z)|^{2}}\) is bounded by O(k), where the implied constant is independent of \({\Gamma}\). Furthermore, using results from Berman (Math. Z. 248:325–344, 2004), we extend these results to the case when \({\Gamma}\) is cofinite.     

There is exactly one $${\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4$$-cyclic 1-perfect code

Let \(\mathcal{C}\) be a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-additive code of length \(n > 3\). We prove that if the binary Gray image of \(\mathcal{C}\) is a 1-perfect nonlinear code, then \(\mathcal{C}\) cannot be a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-cyclic code except for one case of length \(n=15\). Moreover, we give a parity check matrix for this cyclic code. Adding an even parity check coordinate to a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-additive 1-perfect code gives a \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-additive extended 1-perfect code. We also prove that such a code cannot be \({\mathbb {Z}}_2{\mathbb {Z}}_4\)-cyclic.     

Representations of groups with CAT(0) fixed point property

We show that certain representations over fields with positive characteristic of groups having CAT\((0)\) fixed point property \(\mathrm{F}\mathcal {B}_{\widetilde{A}_n}\) have finite image. In particular, we obtain rigidity results for representations of the following groups: the special linear group over \({\mathbb {Z}}\), \({\mathrm{SL}}_k({\mathbb {Z}})\), the special automorphism group of a free group, \(\mathrm{SAut}(F_k)\), the mapping class group of a closed orientable surface, \(\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma _g)\), and many other groups. In the case of characteristic zero, we show that low dimensional complex representations of groups having CAT\((0)\) fixed point property \(\mathrm{F}\mathcal {B}_{\widetilde{A}_n}\) have finite image if they always have compact closure.     

$${\varvec{\mathcal {}}}$$-minimaxness and local cohomology modules

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, \({\mathfrak {a}}\) an ideal of R, M a finitely generated R-module, and \({\mathcal {S}}\) a Serre subcategory of the category of R-modules. We introduce the concept of \({\mathcal {S}}\)-minimax R-modules and the notion of the \({\mathcal {S}}\)-finiteness dimension

$$\begin{aligned} f_{\mathfrak {a}}^{{\mathcal {S}}}(M):=\inf \lbrace f_{\mathfrak {a}R_{\mathfrak {p}}}(M_{\mathfrak {p}}) \vert \mathfrak {p}\in {\text {Supp}}_R(M/ \mathfrak {a}M) \text { and } R/\mathfrak {p}\notin {\mathcal {S}} \rbrace \end{aligned}$$

and we will prove that: (i) If \({\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {a}}^{0}(M), \cdots ,{\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {a}}^{n-1}(M)\) are \({\mathcal {S}}\)-minimax, then the set \(\lbrace \mathfrak {p}\in {\text {Ass}}_R( {\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {a}}^{n}(M)) \vert R/\mathfrak {p}\notin {\mathcal {S}}\rbrace \) is finite. This generalizes the main results of Brodmann–Lashgari (Proc Am Math Soc 128(10):2851–2853, 2000), Quy (Proc Am Math Soc 138:1965–1968, 2010), Bahmanpour–Naghipour (Proc Math Soc 136:2359–2363, 2008), Asadollahi–Naghipour (Commun Algebra 43:953–958, 2015), and Mehrvarz et al. (Commun Algebra 43:4860–4872, 2015). (ii) If \({\mathcal {S}}\) satisfies the condition \(C_{\mathfrak {a}}\), then

$$\begin{aligned} f_{\mathfrak {a}}^{{\mathcal {S}}}(M)= \inf \lbrace i\in {\mathbb {N}}_{0} \vert {\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {a}}^{i}(M) \text { is not } {\mathcal {S}}\hbox {-}minimax\rbrace . \end{aligned}$$

This is a formulation of Faltings’ Local-global principle for the \({\mathcal {S}}\)-minimax local cohomology modules. (iii) \( \sup \lbrace i\in {\mathbb {N}}_{0} \vert {\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {a}}^{i}(M) \text { is not } {\mathcal {S}}\text {-minimax} \rbrace = \sup \lbrace i\in {\mathbb {N}}_{0} \vert {\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {a}}^{i}(M) \text { is not in } {\mathcal {S}} \rbrace \).
