Poisson Morphisms and Reduced Affine Poisson Group Actions

We establish the concept of a quotient affine Poisson group, and study the reduced Poisson action of the quotient of an affine Poisson group G on the quotient of an affine Poisson-G-variety V. The Poisson morphisms (including equivariant cases) between Poisson affine varieties are also discussed. Received April 5, 1999, Accepted March 5, 2001     

The Whitehead Group of the Novikov Ring

The Bass–Heller–Swan–Farrell–Hsiang–Siebenmann decomposition of the Whitehead group K ₁(A[z,z^-1]) of a twisted Laurent polynomial extension A[z,z^-1] of a ring A is generalized to a decomposition of the Whitehead group K ₁(A((z))) of a twisted Novikov ring of power series A((z))=A[[z]][z^-1]. The decomposition involves a summand W₁(A, ) which is an Abelian quotient of the multiplicative group W(A,) of Witt vectors 1+a₁z+a₂z²+ ··· A[[z]]. An example is constructed to show that in general the natural surjection W(A, )^ab W₁(A, ) is not an isomorphism.     

Renewal Theory on the Affine Group of an Oriented Tree

The affine group of a tree is the group of the isometries of a homogeneous tree that fix an end of its boundary. Consider a probability measure on this group and the associated random walk. The main goal of this paper is to determine the accumulation points of the potential kernel

The Relative Brauer Group of an Affine Double Plane

We study algebra classes and divisor classes on a normal affine surface of the form z ² = f(x, y). The affine coordinate ring is T = k[x, y, z]/(z ² ? f), and if R = k[x, y][f ^?1] and S = R[z]/(z ² ? f), then S is a quadratic Galois extension of R. If the Galois group is G, we show that the natural map H¹(G, Cl(T)) → H¹(G, Pic(S)) factors through the relative Brauer group B(S/R) and that all of the maps are onto. Sufficient conditions are given for H¹(G, Cl(T)) to be isomorphic to B(S/R). The groups and maps are computed for several examples.     

On the Bounded Complex of an Affine Oriented Matroid

We prove that the bounded complex of an affine oriented matroid is pure and collapsible. We also generalize Zaslavsky's central decomposition theorem for hyperplane arrangements to affine oriented matroids.     

Chain Geometry Determined by the Affine Group

Chain geometry associated with an affine group and with a linear group is studied. In particular, closely related to the respective chain geometries affine partial linear spaces and generalizations of sliced spaces are defined. The automorphisms of thus obtained structures are determined.     

Reduced unitary Whitehead groups of skew fields of noncommutative rational functions

We calculate the reduced unitary Whitehead groups of skew fields of quotients of noncommutative polynomial rings. We prove a stability theorem in the case where the noncommutative polynomial ring is related to an inner automorphism of the original skew field.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On the Group of Reduced Identities of Relatively Free Solvable Groups

We prove that the groups of reduced identities of a free solvable group and a free metabelian group of a given nilpotency class are trivial whenever these groups are finitely generated.     

On the Embedding of an Affine Space into a Projective Space

Let k, K be fields, and assume that |k| 4 and n, m 2, or |k| = 3 and n 3, m 2. Then, for any embedding of AG(n, k) into PG(m, K), there exists an isomorphism from k into K and an (n+1) × (m+1) matrix B with entries in K such that can be expressed as (x₁,x₂,...,x_n) = [(1,x₁ ,x₂ ,...,x_n )B], where the right-hand side is the equivalence class of (1,x₁ ,x₂ ,...,x_n )B. Moreover, in this expression, is uniquely determined, and B is uniquely determined up to a multiplication of element of K*. Let l 1, and suppose that there exists an embedding of AG(m+l, k) into PG(m, K) which has the above expression. If we put r = dim _k K, then we have r 3 and m > 2 l-1)/(r-2). Conversely, there exists an embedding of AG(l+m, k) into PG(m, K) with the above expression if K is a cyclic extension of k with dim _k K=r 3, and if m 2l/(r-2) with m even or if m 2l/(r-2) +1 with m odd.     

On the Action of the Dual Group on the Cohomology of Perverse Sheaves on the Affine Grassmannian

It was proved by Ginzburg, Mirkovic and Vilonen that the G(O)-equivariant perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of a connected reductive group G form a tensor category equivalent to the tensor category of finite dimensional representations of the dual group G . In this paper we construct explicitly the action of G on the global cohomology of a perverse sheaf.     

On the Affine Temperley-Lieb Algebras

The paper describes the cell structure of the affine Temperley–Liebalgebra with respect to a monomial basis. A diagram calculusis constructed for this algebra.     

The Based Ring of the Lowest Two-Sided Cell of an Affine Weyl Group,III

We show that Lusztig’s homomorphism from an affine Hecke algebra to the direct summand of its asymptotic Hecke algebra corresponding to the lowest two-sided cell is related to the homomorphism constructed by Chriss and Ginzburg using equivariant K-theory by a matrix over the representation ring of the associated algebraic group.     

On the Construction of Affine Extractors

In this paper, we address the problem of explicit construction of so-called ‘affine extractors’ of δ-entropy ratio, when δ ≤ 1/2 (for δ > 1/2, there is a well-known and easy example based on the Hadamard function). We first give examples for δ slightly below 1/2 and produce then a construction for arbitrary given δ > 0. All these examples are again of a simple algebraic nature. The mathematics involved includes recent developments in the sum-product theory in finite fields and certain new bounds on multilinear exponential sums. Supported in part by NSF grant DMS 0322370.

Graphical Calculus for the Double Affine Q-Dependent Braid Group

In this paper, we present a straightforward pictorial representation of the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) which enables us to translate the abstract algebraic structure of a DAHA into an intuitive graphical calculus suitable for a physics audience. Initially, we define the larger double affine Q-dependent braid group. This group is constructed by appending to the braid group a set of operators Q _i , before extending it to an affine Q-dependent braid group. We show specifically that the elliptic braid group and the DAHA can be obtained as quotient groups. Complementing this, we present a pictorial representation of the double affine Q-dependent braid group based on ribbons living in a toroid. We show that in this pictorial representation, we can fully describe any DAHA. Specifically, we graphically describe the parameter q upon which this algebra is dependent and show that in this particular representation q corresponds to a twist in the ribbon.     

群逆的仿射组合表示

In this paper, we first give two equalities in the operation of determinant. Using the expression of group inverse with full-rank factorization Ag = F（GF）^-2G and the Cramer rule of the nonsingular linear system Ax = b, we present a new method to prove the representation of group inverse with arlene combination
Ag=∑（I,J）∈N（A） 1/υ^2det（A）IJ ajd AJI.
A numerical example is given to demonstrate that the formula is efficient.     

The Affine Class Group of a Normal Scheme

Abstract

We study the property of a normal scheme, that the complement of every hypersurface is an affine scheme. To this end we introduce the affine class group. It is a factor group of the divisor class group and measures the deviation from this property. We study the behaviour of the affine class group under faithfully flat extensions and under the formation of products, and we compute it for different classes of rings.
