A-hypergeometric series and the Hasse–Witt matrix of a hypersurface

We give a short combinatorial proof of the generic invertibility of the Hasse–Witt matrix of a projective hypersurface. We also examine the relationship between the Hasse–Witt matrix and certain A-hypergeometric series, which is what motivated the proof.     

A generalization of the Hall–Witt identity

Let Y → X be a finite normal cover of a wedge of n ≥ 3 circles. We prove that for any nonzero v ∈ H ₁(Y; Q) there exists a lift \(\widetilde F\) to Y of a basepoint-preserving homotopy equivalence F: X → X such that the set of iterates \(\left\{ {{{\widetilde F}^d}\left( v \right)} \right\}:d \in \mathbb{Z} \subseteq {H_1}\left( {Y,\mathbb{Q}} \right)\) is infinite. The main achievement of this paper is the use of representation theory to prove the existence of a purely topological object that seems to be inaccessible via topology.     

Higher Hasse–Witt matrices

We prove a number of $p$-adic congruences for the coefficients of powers of a multivariate polynomial $f\left(x\right)$ with coefficients in a ring $R$ of characteristic zero. If the Hasse–Witt operation is invertible, our congruences yield $p$-adic limit formulae which conjecturally describe the Gauss–Manin connection and the Frobenius operator on the unit-root crystal attached to $f\left(x\right)$. As a second application, we associate with $f\left(x\right)$ formal group laws over $R$. Under certain assumptions these formal group laws are coordinalizations of the Artin–Mazur functors.

A generalization of the Runge–Kutta iteration

Iterative solvers in combination with multi-grid have been used extensively to solve large algebraic systems. One of the best known is the Runge–Kutta iteration. We show that a generally used formulation [A. Jameson, Numerical solution of the Euler equations for compressible inviscid fluids, in: F. Angrand, A. Dervieux, J.A. Désidéri, R. Glowinski (Eds.), Numerical Methods for the Euler Equations of Fluid Dynamics, SIAM, Philadelphia, 1985, pp. 199–245] does not allow to form all possible polynomial transmittance functions and we propose a new formulation to remedy this, without using an excessive number of coefficients.     

A generalization of the Dedekind–MacNeille completion

In this paper we introduce the notion of \(Z_{\delta }\)-continuity as a generalization of precontinuity, complete continuity and \(s_{2}\)-continuity, where Z is a subset selection. And for each poset P, a closure space \(Z^{c}_{\delta }(P)\) arises naturally. For any subset system Z, we define a new type of completion, called \(Z_{\delta }\)-completion, extending each poset P to a Z-complete poset. The main results are: (1) if a subset system Z is subset-hereditary, then \(cl_{Z}(\Psi (P))\), the Z-closure of all principal ideals \(\Psi (P)\) of poset P in \(Z^{c}_{\delta }(P)\), is a \(Z_{\delta }\)-completion of P and \(Z^{c}_{\delta }(P) \cong Z^{c}_{\delta }(cl_{Z}(\Psi (P)))\); (2) let Z be an HUL-system and P a \(Z_{\delta }\)-continuous poset, then the \(Z_{\delta }\)-completion of P is also \(Z_{\delta }\)-continuous, and a Z-complete poset L is a \(Z_{\delta }\)-completion of P iff P is an embedded \(Z_{\delta }\)-basis of L; (3) the Dedekind–MacNeille completion is a special case of the \(Z_{\delta }\)-completion.     

A generalization of the Shapley–Ichiishi result

The Shapley–Ichiishi result states that a game is convex if and only if the convex hull of marginal vectors equals the core. In this paper, we generalize this result by distinguishing equivalence classes of balanced games that share the same core structure. We then associate a system of linear inequalities with each equivalence class, and we show that the system defines the class. Application of this general theorem to the class of convex games yields an alternative proof of the Shapley–Ichiishi result. Other applications range from computation of stable sets in non-cooperative game theory to determination of classes of TU games on which the core correspondence is additive (even linear). For the case of convex games we prove that the theorem provides the minimal defining system of linear inequalities. An example shows that this is not necessarily true for other equivalence classes of balanced games.     

A generalization of the Burkholder–Davis–Gundy inequalities

In this paper, by applying some improved inequalities, we extend the Burkholder–Davis–Gundy inequalities for α ∈ (0,1) to more general functions and submartingales. Moreover, a series of inequalities for a logarithmic function are also obtained correspondingly. Finally, we give an application to a stopped Brownian motion.     

A generalization of the Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula

In this paper, we develop conditions under which the Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula can be represented in the Moore–Penrose inverse and the generalized Drazin inverse forms. These results generalize the original Sherman–Morrison–Woodbury formula.     

A generalization of the Jaffard–Ohm–Kaplansky Theorem

The well-known Jaffard–Ohm–Kaplansky Theorem states that every abelian ?-group can be realized as the group of divisibility of a commutative Bézout domain. To date there is no realization (except in certain circumstances) of an arbitrary, not necessarily abelian, ?-group as the group of divisibility of an integral domain. We show that using filters on lattices we can construct a nice quantal frame whose “group of divisibility” is the given ?-group. We then show that our construction when applied to an abelian ?-group gives rise to the lattice of ideals of any Prüfer domain assured by the Jaffard–Ohm–Kaplansky Theorem. Thus, we are assured of the appropriate generalization of the Jaffard–Ohm–Kaplansky Theorem.     

On a generalization of the Hadwiger–Nelson problem

For a field F and a quadratic form Q defined on an n-dimensional vector space V over F, let QG _Q , called the quadratic graph associated to Q, be the graph with the vertex set V where vertices u,w ∈ V form an edge if and only if Q(v ? w) = 1. Quadratic graphs can be viewed as natural generalizations of the unit-distance graph featuring in the famous Hadwiger–Nelson problem. In the present paper, we will prove that for a local field F of characteristic zero, the Borel chromatic number of QG _Q is infinite if and only if Q represents zero non-trivially over F. The proof employs a recent spectral bound for the Borel chromatic number of Cayley graphs, combined with an analysis of certain oscillatory integrals over local fields. As an application, we will also answer a variant of question 525 proposed in the 22nd British Combinatorics Conference 2009 [6].     

A generalization of the Bombieri–Pila determinant method

The so-called determinant method was developed by Bombieri and Pila in 1989 for counting integral points of bounded height on affine plane curves. In this paper, we give a generalization of that method to varieties of higher dimension, yielding a proof of Heath-Brown’s “Theorem 14” by real-analytic considerations alone. Bibliography: 11 titles.     

A new generalization of the Pareto–geometric distribution

In this paper we introduce a new distribution called the beta Pareto–geometric. We provide a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical properties of the proposed distribution and derive expressions for its moment generating function and the rth generalized moment. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood and obtain the information matrix that is easily numerically determined. We also demonstrate its usefulness on a real data set.     

A generalization of the category O of Bernstein–Gelfand–Gelfand

In the study of simple modules over a simple complex Lie algebra, Bernstein, Gelfand and Gelfand introduced a category of modules which provides a natural setting for highest weight modules. In this note, we define a family of categories which generalizes the BGG category. We classify the simple modules for some of these categories. As a consequence we show that these categories are semisimple.     

A generalization of the Pólya–Vinogradov inequality

In this paper we consider an approach of Dobrowolski and Williams which leads to a generalization of the Pólya–Vinogradov inequality. We show how the Dobrowolski–Williams approach is related to the classical proof of Pólya–Vinogradov using Fourier analysis. Our results improve upon the earlier work of Bachman and Rachakonda (Ramanujan J. 5:65–71, 2001). In passing, we also obtain sharper explicit versions of the Pólya–Vinogradov inequality.     

A generalization of the original Jordan–von Neumann theorem

The problem of representability of quadratic functionals (acting on modules over unital complex ∗-algebras), by sesquilinear forms, is generalized by weakening the homogeneity equation. The corresponding representation theorem can be considered as a generalization of (the original form of) the classical Jordan–von Neumann characterization of complex inner product spaces.     

A generalization of the Egalitarian and the Kalai–Smorodinsky bargaining solutions

We characterize the class of weakly efficient n-person bargaining solutions that solely depend on the ratios of the players’ ideal payoffs. In the case of at least three players the ratio between the solution payoffs of any two players is a power of the ratio between their ideal payoffs. As special cases this class contains the Egalitarian and the Kalai–Smorodinsky bargaining solutions, which can be pinned down by imposing additional axioms.     

A generalization of a theorem by Bigard–Keimel and Conrad–Diem

Let G be an archimedean ℓ-group and \mathfrakP(G){\mathfrak{P}(G)} denote the set of all polar preserving bounded group endomorphisms of G. Bigard and Keimel in [Bull. Soc. Math. France 97 (1969), 381–398] and, independently, Conrad and Diem in [Illinois J. Math. 15 (1971), 222–240] proved that \mathfrakP(G){\mathfrak{P}(G)} is an archimedean ℓ-group with respect to the pointwise addition and ordering. This classical result is extended in this paper to certain sets of disjointness preserving bounded homomorphisms on archimedean ℓ-groups.
