A non-implication between fragments of Martin’s Axiom related to a property which comes from Aronszajn trees

We introduce a property of forcing notions, called the anti-, which comes from Aronszajn trees. This property canonically defines a new chain condition stronger than the countable chain condition, which is called the property .In this paper, we investigate the property . For example, we show that a forcing notion with the property does not add random reals. We prove that it is consistent that every forcing notion with the property has precaliber ℵ₁ and for forcing notions with the property fails. This negatively answers a part of one of the classical problems about implications between fragments of .     

On a relation between certain cohomological invariants

Let G be a group, the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective ZG-modules and the supremum of the injective lengths of the projective ZG-modules. The invariants and were studied in [T.V. Gedrich, K.W. Gruenberg, Complete cohomological functors on groups, Topology Appl. 25 (1987) 203-223] in connection with the existence of complete cohomological functors. If is finite then [T.V. Gedrich, K.W. Gruenberg, Complete cohomological functors on groups, Topology Appl. 25 (1987) 203-223] and , where is the generalized cohomological dimension of G [B.M. Ikenaga, Homological dimension and Farrell cohomology, J. Algebra 87 (1984) 422-457]. Note that if G is of finite virtual cohomological dimension. It has been conjectured in [O. Talelli, On groups of type Φ, Arch. Math. 89 (1) (2007) 24-32] that if is finite then G admits a finite dimensional model for , the classifying space for proper actions.We conjecture that for any group G and we prove the conjecture for duality groups, fundamental groups of graphs of finite groups and fundamental groups of certain finite graphs of groups of type .     

Classical predicative logic-enriched type theories

A logic-enriched type theory (LTT) is a type theory extended with a primitive mechanism for forming and proving propositions. We construct two LTTs, named and , which we claim correspond closely to the classical predicative systems of second order arithmetic and . We justify this claim by translating each second order system into the corresponding LTT, and proving that these translations are conservative. This is part of an ongoing research project to investigate how LTTs may be used to formalise different approaches to the foundations of mathematics.The two LTTs we construct are subsystems of the logic-enriched type theory , which is intended to formalise the classical predicative foundation presented by Herman Weyl in his monograph Das Kontinuum. The system has also been claimed to correspond to Weyl’s foundation. By casting and as LTTs, we are able to compare them with . It is a consequence of the work in this paper that is strictly stronger than .The conservativity proof makes use of a novel technique for proving one LTT conservative over another, involving defining an interpretation of the stronger system out of the expressions of the weaker. This technique should be applicable in a wide variety of different cases outside the present work.     

Cut elimination and strong separation for substructural logics: An algebraic approach

We develop a general algebraic and proof-theoretic study of substructural logics that may lack associativity, along with other structural rules. Our study extends existing work on (associative) substructural logics over the full Lambek Calculus (see, for example, Ono (2003) [34], Galatos and Ono (2006) [18], Galatos et al. (2007) [17]). We present a Gentzen-style sequent system that lacks the structural rules of contraction, weakening, exchange and associativity, and can be considered a non-associative formulation of . Moreover, we introduce an equivalent Hilbert-style system and show that the logic associated with and is algebraizable, with the variety of residuated lattice-ordered groupoids with unit serving as its equivalent algebraic semantics.Overcoming technical complications arising from the lack of associativity, we introduce a generalized version of a logical matrix and apply the method of quasicompletions to obtain an algebra and a quasiembedding from the matrix to the algebra. By applying the general result to specific cases, we obtain important logical and algebraic properties, including the cut elimination of and various extensions, the strong separation of , and the finite generation of the variety of residuated lattice-ordered groupoids with unit.     

Mixed Artin-Tate motives over number rings

This paper studies Artin-Tate motives over bases , for a number field F. As a subcategory of motives over S, the triangulated category of Artin-Tate motives is generated by motives , where ? is any finite map. After establishing the stability of these subcategories under pullback and pushforward along open and closed immersions, a motivic t-structure is constructed. Exactness properties of these functors familiar from perverse sheaves are shown to hold in this context. The cohomological dimension of mixed Artin-Tate motives () is two, and there is an equivalence .

For a given finite monoid , let be the number of graphs on n vertices with endomorphism monoid isomorphic to . For any nontrivial monoid we prove that where and are constants depending only on with .For every k there exists a monoid of size k with , on the other hand if a group of unity of has a size k>2 then .     

On the Brauer group of a semisimple algebraic group

Let k be a field with algebraic closure , G a semisimple algebraic k-group, and a maximal torus with character group X(T). Denote Λ the abstract weight lattice of the roots system of G, and by and the n-torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of k and G, respectively. We prove that if chark does not divide n and n is prime to the order of Λ/X(T) then the natural homomorphism is an isomorphism.     

On the relation between cluster and classical tilting

Let be a triangulated category with a cluster tilting subcategory U. The quotient category is abelian; suppose that it has finite global dimension.We show that projection from to sends cluster tilting subcategories of to support tilting subcategories of , and that, in turn, support tilting subcategories of can be lifted uniquely to weak cluster tilting subcategories of .     

Several remarks on dimensions modulo ANR-compacta

We investigate a dimension function L-dim (L is a class of ANR-compacta). Main results are as follows.Let L be an ANR-compactum.(1) If L*L is not contractible, then for every n?0 there is a cube Im with .(2) If L is simply connected and f:X→Y is an acyclic mapping from a finite-dimensional compact Hausdorff space X onto a finite-dimensional space Y, then .(3) If L is simply connected and L*L is not contractible, then for every n?2 there exists a compact Hausdorff space such that , and for an arbitrary closed set either or .     

The third homology of the special linear group of a field

We prove that for any infinite field F, the map is an isomorphism for all n≥3. When n=2 the cokernel of this map is naturally isomorphic to , where is the nth Milnor K-group of F. We deduce that the natural homomorphism from to the indecomposable K₃ of F, , is surjective for any infinite field F.     

Critical points between varieties generated by subspace lattices of vector spaces

We denote by the semilattice of all compact congruences of an algebra A. Given a variety V of algebras, we denote by the class of all semilattices isomorphic to for some A∈V. Given varieties V and W of algebras, the critical point of V under W is defined as . Given a finitely generated variety V of modular lattices, we obtain an integer ?, depending on V, such that for any n≥? and any field F.In a second part, using tools introduced in Gillibert (2009) [5], we prove that:

     

Lifting Galois representations of number fields

Let F be a number field. Given a continuous representation with insoluble image we show, under moderate assumptions at primes dividing ?∞, that for some continuous representation which is unramified outside finitely many primes. We also establish level lowering when F is totally real, is the reduction of a nearly ordinary Hilbert modular form and is distinguished at ?.     

Homological finiteness properties of monoids, their ideals and maximal subgroups

We consider the general question of how the homological finiteness property left-(resp. right-) holding in a monoid influences, and conversely depends on, the property holding in the substructures of that monoid. This is done by giving methods for constructing free resolutions of substructures from free resolutions of their containing monoids, and vice versa. In particular, we show that left- is inherited by the maximal subgroups in a completely simple minimal ideal, in the case that the minimal ideal has finitely many left ideals. For completely simple semigroups, we prove the converse, and as a corollary, show that a completely simple semigroup is of type left- and right- if and only if it has finitely many left and right ideals and all of its maximal subgroups are of type . Also, given an ideal of a monoid, we show that if the ideal has a two-sided identity element then the containing monoid is of type left- if and only if the ideal is of type left-. Applying this result, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a Clifford monoid (and more generally a strong semilattice of monoids) to be of type left-. Examples are provided showing that for each of the results all of the hypotheses are necessary.     

Carleson measure problems for parabolic Bergman spaces and homogeneous Sobolev spaces

Let be the space of solutions to the parabolic equation having finite norm. We characterize nonnegative Radon measures μ on having the property , 1≤p≤q<∞, whenever . Meanwhile, denoting by v(t,x) the solution of the above equation with Cauchy data v₀(x), we characterize nonnegative Radon measures μ on satisfying , β∈(0,n), p∈[1,n/β], q∈(0,∞). Moreover, we obtain the decay of v(t,x), an isocapacitary inequality and a trace inequality.     

New applications of Besov-type and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces

In this paper, the authors prove that Besov-Morrey spaces are proper subspaces of Besov-type spaces and that Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces are special cases of Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces . The authors also establish an equivalent characterization of when τ∈[0,1/p). These Besov-type spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces were recently introduced to connect Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with Q spaces. Moreover, for the spaces and , the authors investigate their trace properties and the boundedness of the pseudo-differential operators with homogeneous symbols in these spaces, which generalize the corresponding classical results of Jawerth and Grafakos-Torres by taking τ=0.
