A lattice space-time code of rank

For all previous constructions of lattice space-time codes with a positive diversity product, the rank was at most . In this paper, we give an example of a lattice space-time code of rank with a positive diversity product.

     

On the - boundedness of operators

We prove that if is in , is a Banach space, and is a linear operator defined on the space of finite linear combinations of -atoms in with the property that

then admits a (unique) continuous extension to a bounded linear operator from to . We show that the same is true if we replace -atoms by continuous -atoms. This is known to be false for -atoms.

     

The projective -character bounds the order of a -base

All spaces below are Tychonov. We define the projective - character of a space as the supremum of the values where ranges over all (Tychonov) continuous images of . Our main result says that every space has a -base whose order is ; that is, every point in is contained in at most -many members of the -base. Since for compact , this is a significant generalization of a celebrated result of Shapirovskii.

     

Dieudonné rings associated with

We use Dieudonné theory for periodically graded Hopf rings to determine the Dieudonné ring structure of the -graded Morava -theory , with an odd prime, when applied to the -spectrum (and to ). We also expand these results in order to accomodate the case of the full Morava -theory .

     

Signed -analogs of Tornheim's double series

We introduce signed -analogs of Tornheim's double series and evaluate them in terms of double -Euler sums. As a consequence, we provide explicit evaluations of signed and unsigned Tornheim double series and correct some mistakes in the literature.

     

Spectral radius algebras and contractions

We consider the spectral radius algebras associated to contractions. If is such an operator we show that the spectral radius algebra always properly contains the commutant of .

     

An -labeling of the subgroup lattice

In a 2001 paper, Shareshian conjectured that the subgroup lattice of a finite, solvable group has an -labeling. We construct such a labeling and verify that our labeling has the expected properties.

     

A separable non-remainder of

We prove that there is a compact separable continuum that (consistently) is not a remainder of the real line.

     

Rademacher multiplicator spaces equal to

Let be a rearrangement invariant function space on [0,1]. We consider the Rademacher multiplicator space of measurable functions such that for every a.e. converging series , where are the Rademacher functions. We characterize the situation when . We also discuss the behaviour of partial sums and tails of Rademacher series in function spaces.

     

Near-symmetry in and refined Jones factorization

We use variants of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal and the Cruz-Uribe-Neugebauer minimal operators to give direct characterizations of and that clarify their near symmetry and yield elementary proofs of various known results, including Cruz-Uribe and Neugebauer's refinement of the Jones factorization theorem.

     

A -adic supercongruence conjecture of van Hamme

In this paper we prove a -adic supercongruence conjecture of van Hamme by placing it in the context of the Beukers-like supercongruences of Rodriguez-Villegas. This conjecture is a -adic analog of a formula of Ramanujan.

     

Boundary -algebras for acylindrical groups

Let be an infinite, locally finite tree with more than two ends. Let be an acylindrical uniform lattice. Then the boundary algebra is a simple Cuntz-Krieger algebra whose K-theory is determined explicitly.

     

-actions with

Suppose that is a smooth -action on a closed smooth -dimensional manifold such that all Stiefel-Whitney classes of the tangent bundle to each connected component of the fixed point set vanish in positive dimension. This paper shows that if 2^k\dim F$"> and each -dimensional part possesses the linear independence property, then bounds equivariantly, and in particular, is the best possible upper bound of if is nonbounding.

     

Lifts of - and -morphisms to -morphisms

Let be the Hochschild complex of cochains on and let be the space of multivector fields on . In this paper we prove that given any -structure (i.e. Gerstenhaber algebra up to homotopy structure) on , and any -morphism (i.e. morphism of a commutative, associative algebra up to homotopy) between and , there exists a -morphism between and that restricts to . We also show that any -morphism (i.e. morphism of a Lie algebra up to homotopy), in particular the one constructed by Kontsevich, can be deformed into a -morphism, using Tamarkin's method for any -structure on . We also show that any two of such -morphisms are homotopic.

     

The -exponent of the -local spectrum

Let be a fixed odd prime. In this paper we prove an exponent conjecture of Bousfield, namely that the -exponent of the spectrum is for . It follows from this result that the -exponent of is at least for and , where denotes the -connected cover of .

     

Upper bound for isometric embeddings

The isometric embeddings (, ) over a field are considered, and an upper bound for the minimal is proved. In the commutative case ( ) the bound was obtained by Delbaen, Jarchow and Pełczyński (1998) in a different way.

     

On the -invariant of rational surface singularities

We show that for rational surface singularities with odd determinant the -invariant defined by W. Neumann is an obstruction for the link of the singularity to bound a rational homology 4-ball. We identify the -invariant with the corresponding correction term in Heegaard Floer theory.

     

-bounding and -induction

Working in the base theory of , we show that for all , the bounding principle for -formulas ( ) is equivalent to the induction principle for -formulas ( ). This partially answers a question of J. Paris.

     

The stability of exceptional bundles on complete intersection -folds

A very long-standing problem in Algebraic Geometry is to determine the stability of exceptional vector bundles on smooth projective varieties. In this paper we address this problem and we prove that any exceptional vector bundle on a smooth complete intersection -fold of type with and is stable.

     

The -local -homology of

In this paper, we introduce a Hopf algebra, developed by the author and André Henriques, which is usable in the computation of the -homology of a space. As an application, we compute the -homology of in a manner analogous to Mahowald and Milgram's computation of the -homology .
