Large indecomposables over representation-infinite orders and algebras

Let R be a complete discrete valuation domain with quotient field K, and let be an R-order in a semisimple K-algebra. Butler, Campbell, and Kovács have shown that R-free -modules decompose into -lattices when is representation-finite. Using the theory of ladder functors, we prove the converse by constructing indecomposable R-free -modules of infinite rank if is not representation-finite.Received: 23 March 2004     

Computation of Almost Split Sequences with Applications to Relatively Projective and Prinjective Modules

Let be an Artin algebra, let mod be the category of finitely generated -modules, and let Amod be a contravariantly finite and extension closed subcategory. For an indecomposable and not Ext-projective module CA, we compute the almost split sequence 0ABC0 in A from the almost split sequence 0DTrCEC0 in mod. Since the computation is particularly simple if the minimal right A-approximation of DTrC is indecomposable for all indecomposable and not Ext-projective CA, we manufacture subcategories A with the desired property using orthogonal subcategories. The method of orthogonal subcategories is applied to compute almost split sequences for relatively projective and prinjective modules.     

Isomorphism of one-place functors Ext

Let be an associative ring with identity. One considers the category of left (unitary) -modules m and also the contravariant and the covariant functors Ext ¹ ( ,A) and Ext ¹ (A, ): M_z M. One proves the following results: (1) If the homomorphism of -modules A B induces an isomorphism Ext ¹ ( ,A)Ext ¹ ( ,B), then there exist injective -modules J₁ and J₂ such that AJ₁BJ₂. (2) Every functorial morphism Ext ¹ ( ,A)Ext ¹ ( ,B) induces a certain homomorphism of -modules AB. One also obtains a dual result.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 112, pp. 71–74, 1981.

Closed classes of left-Λ modules and closed sets of left ideals of ring Λ

The paper considers classes of -modules which are completely described by the set of annihilators of the elements of the modules of these classes. A number of conditions on such classes are translated into the language of left ideals. The connections found between classes of -modules and sets of left ideals of ring are used for the characteristics of classes of -modules related to the concept of torsion.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 5, No. 3, pp. 381–390, March, 1969.The author would like to thank V.

Waterman classes and triangular sums of double Fourier series

Let ^a ={nln^a (n+1)}, where a R. The following results are established: For every &fnof ^a BV ((- ]²), the triangular partial sums of its Fourier series are uniformly bounded if a = -1, and converge everywhere if a < -1.For every a>0, there exists &fnof ^a BV ((- ]²) such that the triangular partial sums of its Fourier series are unbounded at the point (0;0).     

Folgenräume als universelle Generatoren für Klassen lokalkonvexer Räume

Motivated by the known characterizations of equicontinuity in the dual of a Schwartz space, a nuclear space, or a strongly nuclear space,we introduce the concepts of a -sequence and of a ()-sequence in the dual of an arbitrary lcs [E,], and we investigate the corresponding topologies and ₍₎ on E of uniform convergence on these sequences. Here is a normal sequence space such that . Under favorable enough conditions on , including the nuclearity of its normal topology , [,] acts as a universal generator for those lcs [E,] which satisfy =. Under somewhat weaker assumptions on , [,₍₎] is a universal generator for the lcs [E,] with =₍₎. These results cover e.g. the cases of -nuclear spaces and of nuclear spaces known from the recent literature. As an application we show that every non-trivial ultrabornological lcs is representable as an inductive limit of isomorphic copies of [, ( , )], where is any nuclear power series space of infinite type with stable exponent sequence.     

On nonlinear integral equations and Λ-bounded variation

Summary We discuss the existence or the existence and uniqueness of global and local -bounded variation (BV) solutions as well as continuous BV-solutions of nonlinear Hammerstein and Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations formulated in terms of the Lebesgue integral. Since the space of functions of bounded variation in the sense of Jordan is a proper subspace of functions of -bounded variation and for some class of functions , the space of functions of bounded -variation in the sense of Young is also a proper subspace of the space under consideration, our results extend known results in the literature.     

A Homological Bridge Between Finite and Infinite-Dimensional Representations of Algebras

Given a finite-dimensional algebra , we show that a frequently satisfied finiteness condition for the category -mod) of all finitely generated (left) -modules of finite projective dimension,namely contravariant finiteness of (-mod) in -mod, forces arbitrary modules of finite projective dimension to be direct limits of objects in (-mod). Among numerous applications, this yields an encompassing sufficient condition for the validity of the first finitistic dimensionconjecture, that is, for the little finitistic dimension of to coincide with the big (this is well known to fail overfinite-dimensional algebras in general).     

On Series of Translates of Positive Functions

For , a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers, and a nonnegative measurable function f: R R ⁺, consider . The sets naturally break into two types. Type 1 consists of such that either C = R almost everywhere or else C = Ø a.e., for every f. Type 2 consists of all the other . We introduce a notion of asymptotic density for and the complementary notion of asymptotic lacunarity. We demonstrate that is of type 2 if it is asymptotically lacunary or else is asymptotically dense and exhibits asymptotically large Q-independent sets. We also give some examples of sets of both types.     

Subnormalizer of net subgroups in the general linear group over a ring

Let be a commutative ring in which the elements of the form ²–1, * generate the unit ideal and assume that a is any D-net of ideals of of order n. It is shown that the normalizerN() of the net subgroup G() (RZhMat, 1977, 2A280) coincides with its subnormalizer in GL(n, ). For noncommutative the corresponding result is obtained under the assumptions: 1) in the elements of the form — 1, where runs through all invertible elements of the center of , generate the unit ideal, and 2) the subgroup G() contains the group of block diagonal matrices with blocks of order 2.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Die Nuklearität der Ultradistributionsräume und der Satz vom Kern II

Continuing the research of part I conditions equivalent to ()- or ()-nuclearity of spaces of ultradifferential functions and their duals as well as some applications are given. To get these results it is shown that tensor products of smooth sequence spaces, power series spaces, and spaces S(M_q) introduced in part I are isomorphic to suitable sequence spaces of the same class, which are stable provided the factors are stable power series spaces. Hence it is possible to establish isomorphisms between different functions spaces, to calculate the nuclearity types of tensor products by the nuclearity types of the factors, and to prove that the class of ()- or ()-nuclear spaces is closed under forming tensor products iff is multiplicatively stable.     

Regular sets on the projective line

Isolation theorem for forms corresponding to purely real algebraic fields

Let M be the complete module of a purely real algebraic field of degree n 3, let be a lattice in this module, and let F(X) be its form. We use to denote any lattice for which we have = , where is a nondiagonal matrix for which – I . With each lattice we can associate a factorizable formF (X) in a natural manner. We denote the complete set of forms corresponding to the set {} by {F (X)}. It is proved that for any > 0 there exists an > 0 such that for eachF (X) {F } we have |F (X₀₎| for some integer vector X₀ 0.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Standard pseudo-Hermitian structure on manifolds and seifert fibration

A strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-Hermitian manifoldM admits a canonical Lorentz metric as well as a canonical Riemannian metric. Using these metrics, we can define a curvaturelike function onM. AsM supports a contact form, there exists a characteristic vector field dual to the contact structure. If induces a local one-parameter group ofCR transformations, then a strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-Hermitian manifoldM is said to be a standard pseudo-Hermitian manifold. We study topological and geometric properties of standard pseudo-Hermitian manifolds of positive curvature or of nonpositive curvature . By the definition, standard pseudo-Hermitian manifolds are calledK-contact manifolds by Sasaki. In particular, standard pseudo-Hermitian manifolds of constant curvature turn out to be Sasakian space forms. It is well known that a conformally flat manifold contains a class of Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. A sphericalCR manifold is aCR manifold whose Chern-Moser curvature form vanishes (equivalently, Weyl pseudo-conformal curvature tensor vanishes). In contrast, it is emphasized that a sphericalCR manifold contains a class of standard pseudo-Hermitian manifolds of constant curvature (i.e., Sasakian space forms). We shall classify those compact Sasakian space forms. When 0, standard pseudo-Hermitian closed aspherical manifolds are shown to be Seifert fiber spaces. We consider a deformation of standard pseudo-Hermitian structure preserving a sphericalCR structure.Dedicated to Professor Sasao Seiya for his sixtieth birthday     

Exceptional Sequences in Hall Algebras and Quantum Groups

Let be a finite-dimensional hereditary algebra over a finite field k, () and () be, respectively, the Hall algebra and the composition algebra of , be the isomorphism classes of finite dimensional -modules and I the isomorphism classes of simple -modules. We define and , in , to be the right and left derivations of () respectively. By using these derivations and the action of the braid group on the set of exceptional sequences of -mod, we provide an effective algorithm of calculating the root vectors of real Schur roots. This means that we get an inductive method to express u as the combinations of elements u_i in the Hall algebra, where i I and in is any exceptional -module. Because of the canonical isomorphism between the Drinfeld–Jimbo quantum group and the generic composition algebra, our algorithm is applicable directly to quantum groups. In particular, all the root vectors are obtained in this way in the finite type cases.     

Small potential corrections for the discrete eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville problem

Summary The inverse Sturm-Liouville problem is the problem of finding a good approximation of a potential functionq such that the eigenvalue problem (^*)–y +qy=y holds on (0, ) fory(0)=y()=0 and a set of given eigenvalues . Since this problem has to be solved numerically by discretization and since the higher discrete eigenvalues strongly deviate from the corresponding Sturm-Liouville eigenvalues , asymptotic corrections for the 's serve to get better estimates forq. Let _k (1kn) be the first eigenvalues of (^*), let _k be the corresponding discrete eigenvalues obtained by the finite element method for (^*) and let _{k k} for the special caseq=0. Then, starting from an asymptotic correction technique proposed by Paine, de Hoog and Anderssen, new estimates for the errors of the corrected discrete eigenvalues are obtained and confirm and improve the knownO(kh ²)(h:=/(n+1)) behaviour. The estimates are based on new Sobolev inequalities and on Fourier analysis and it is shown that for 4+c ₂ k(n+1)/2, wherec ₁ andc ₂ are constants depending onq which tend to 0 for vanishingq.     

Parties d'ensembles B-normaux

For a given subset A of the set R of real numbers, we defined M(A) as the infimum of all the lengths of the finite intervals I such that there exists a sequence of real numbers in I such that A is the associated normal set B(). We prove that if A is a subset of A, such that all the multiples k.a' belongs to A (for each non zero integer k and each element a of A), then M(A) is less or equal to 2.M(A). Thus the family of the subsets A such that M(A) is finite is closed under intersection and finite union.
