Statistical morphisms and related invariance properties

Our aim is to investigate a way to characterize the elements of a statistical manifold (the metric and the family of connections) using invariance properties suggested by Le Cam's theory of experiments. We distinguish the case where the statistical manifold is flat. Then, there naturally exists an entropy and it is proven that experiment invariance is equivalent to entropy invariance. If the statistical manifold is not flat, we introduce a notion of local invariance of selected order associated to the asymptotic (on n observations, n tending to infinity) expansion of the power of the Neymann Pearson test in a contiguous neighborough of some point. This invariance provides a substantial number of morphisms. This was not always true for the entropy invariance: particularly, the case of Gaussian experiments is investigated where it can be proven that entropy invariance does not characterize a metric or a family of connections.     

Some morphisms of modules over the ring of pseudorational numbers

We study various morphisms of modules over the ring of pseudorational numbers R. We obtain a criterion for a quasi-isomorphism between finitely generated R-modules, introduce the concept of a pseudohomomorphism, and prove that the Krull-Remak-Schmidt theorem holds in the category of pseudohomomorphisms of finitely generated R-modules.     

Frobenius semisimplicity for convolution morphisms

Mathematische Zeitschrift - This article concerns properties of mixed $$ell $$ -adic complexes on varieties over finite fields, related to the action of the Frobenius automorphism. We establish a...     

Initial morphisms and monomorphisms

Initial cones are shown to be mono-cones for several important types of functors, namely those possessing a reducible generator or having a certain topological (1.7) resp. algebraic property (1.8). These results are useful for the computation of the universal initial completion of faithful, topologically algebraic functors, contain results of Börger-Tholen and Hoffmann for certain setbased functors as special cases and allow a complete characterization of the initial cones in quite a few categories.     

The Frobenius rank equality for morphisms

Let $\text{U}$(

,ε) be an abelian category with Serre class

and Euler-Poincaré mapping ε. For η a morphism in $\text{U}$(

,ε) with Imη a member of

, let rank _εη =ε(Imη). A proof is given of the Frobenius rank equality: if αβγ is a composition of three morphisms in $\text{U}$(

,ε) and Imβ is a member of

, then rank_εαβ+rank_εβγ+rank_ε(kerβγ)β(cokαβ)=rank_εβ+rank_εαβγ.     

Approximation properties for generalized q-Bernstein polynomials

In this paper, we introduce the generalized q-Bernstein polynomials based on the q-integers and we study approximation properties of these operators. In special case, we obtain Stancu operators or Phillips polynomials.     

Pull-back morphisms for reflexive differential forms

Let f:X→Y$f:X\to Y$ be a morphism between normal complex varieties, where Y$Y$ is Kawamata log terminal. Given any differential form σ$\sigma$, defined on the smooth locus of Y$Y$, we construct a “pull-back form” on X$X$. The pull-back map obtained by this construction is _?Y${?}_Y$-linear, uniquely determined by natural universal properties and exists even in cases where the image of f$f$ is entirely contained in the singular locus of Y$Y$.     

Topological restrictions for circle actions and harmonic morphisms

 Let M ^m be a compact oriented smooth manifold admitting a smooth circle action with isolated fixed points which are isolated as singularities as well. Then all the Pontryagin numbers of M ^m are zero and its Euler number is nonnegative and even. In particular, M ^m has signature zero. We apply this to obtain non-existence of harmonic morphisms with one-dimensional fibres from various domains, and a classification of harmonic morphisms from certain 4-manifolds.

Approximation properties in tensor products

For distinct classes of locally convex spaces and tensor topologies α =? and α = π it is proved that \(E\hat \otimes _\alpha F\) has the approximation property if and only if E and F have this property.     

Approximation properties of q-Baskakov operators

We establish direct estimates for the q-Baskakov operator introduced by Aral and Gupta in [2], using the second order Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness. Furthermore, we define and study the limit q-Baskakov operator.
