On the cohomology of regular differential forms and dualizing sheaves

If is a local Dedekind scheme and is a projective Cohen-Macaulay variety of relative dimension , then is torsionfree if and only if is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay for a suitable embedding in . If is regular then is torsionfree whenever the multiplicity of the special fibre is not a multiple of the characteristic of the residue class field.

     

Mean exit time from convex hypersurfaces

L. Karp and M. Pinsky proved that, for small radius , the mean exit time function of an extrinsic -ball in a hypersurface is bounded from below by the corresponding function defined on an extrinsic -ball in . A counterexample given by C. Mueller proves that this inequality doesn't holds in the large. In this paper we show that, if is convex, then the inequality holds for all radii. Moreover, we characterize the equality and show that analogous results are true in the sphere.

In particular, if , is an odd prime number and is the Carlitz -module, then the finite -module is always cyclic.

     

Automorphic-differential identities and actions of pointed coalgebras on rings

In this paper, we prove the following two results which generalize the theorem concerning automorphic-differential endomorphisms asserted by J. Bergen. Let be a ring, its left Martindale quotient ring and a right ideal of having no nonzero left annihilator. (1) Let be a pointed coalgebra which measures such that the group-like elements of act as automorphisms of . If is prime and for , then . Furthermore, if the action of extends to and if such that , then . (2) Let be an endomorphism of given as a sum of composition maps of left multiplications, right multiplications, automorphisms and skew-derivations. If is semiprime and , then .

Given a Hilbert space , let be operators on . Anderson has proved that if is normal and , then for all operators . Using this inequality, Du Hong-Ke has recently shown that if (instead) , then for all operators . In this note we improve the Du Hong-Ke inequality to for all operators . Indeed, we prove the equivalence of Du Hong-Ke and Anderson inequalities, and show that the Du Hong-Ke inequality holds for unitarily invariant norms.

     

On scrambled sets and a theorem of Kuratowski on independent sets

The measure of scrambled sets of interval self-maps was studied by many authors, including Smítal, Misiurewicz, Bruckner and Hu, and Xiong and Yang. In this note, first we introduce the notion of ``-chaos" which is related to chaos in the sense of Li-Yorke, and we prove a general theorem which is an improvement of a theorem of Kuratowski on independent sets. Second, we apply the result to scrambled sets of higher dimensional cases. In particular, we show that if a map of the unit -cube is -chaotic on , then for any there is a map such that and are topologically conjugate, and has a scrambled set which has Lebesgue measure 1, and hence if , then there is a homeomorphism with a scrambled set satisfying that is an -set in and has Lebesgue measure 1.

     

A note on norm attaining functionals

We are concerned in this paper with the density of functionals which do not attain their norms in Banach spaces. Some earlier results given for separable spaces are extended to the nonseparable case. We obtain that a Banach space is reflexive if and only if it satisfies any of the following properties: (i) admits a norm with the Mazur Intersection Property and the set of all norm attaining functionals of contains an open set, (ii) the set of all norm one elements of contains a (relative) weak* open set of the unit sphere, (iii) has and contains a (relative) weak open set of the unit sphere, (iv) is , has and contains a (relative) weak open set of the unit sphere. Finally, if is separable, then is reflexive if and only if contains a (relative) weak open set of the unit sphere.

The moduli of substructures of a compact complex space

We construct a space of fine moduli for the substructures of an arbitrary compact complex space . A substructure of is given by a subalgebra of the structure sheaf with the additional feature that is also a complex space; and are called equivalent if and only if and are isomorphic as subalgebras of .

Since substructures are quotients, it is only natural to start with the fine moduli space of all complex-analytic quotients of . In order to obtain a representable moduli functor of substructures, we are forced to concentrate on families of quotients which satisfy some flatness condition for relative differential modules of higher order. Considering the corresponding flatification of , we realize that its open subset consisting of all substructures turns out to be a complex space which has the required universal property.

     

Once more nice equations for nice groups

In a previous paper, nice quintinomial equations were given for unramified coverings of the affine line in nonzero characteristic with the projective symplectic isometry group PSp and the (vectorial) symplectic isometry group Sp as Galois groups where is any integer and is any power of . Here we deform these equations to get nice quintinomial equations for unramified coverings of the once punctured affine line in characteristic with the projective symplectic similitude group PGSp and the (vectorial) symplectic similitude group GSp as Galois groups.

The Kaplansky test problems for -separable groups

We answer a long-standing open question by proving in ordinary set theory, ZFC, that the Kaplansky test problems have negative answers for -separable abelian groups of cardinality . In fact, there is an -separable abelian group such that is isomorphic to but not to . We also derive some relevant information about the endomorphism ring of .

     

A metric space of A. H. Stone and an example concerning -minimal bases

In this paper we use a metric space due to A. H. Stone and one of its completions to construct a linearly ordered topological space that is \v{C}ech complete, has a -closed-discrete dense subset, is perfect, hereditarily paracompact, first-countable, and has the property that each of its subspaces has a -minimal base for its relative topology. However, is not metrizable and is not quasi-developable. The construction of is a point-splitting process that is familiar in ordered spaces, and an orderability theorem of Herrlich is the link between Stone's metric space and our construction.

We prove the weak-type inequality , , between a non-negative subharmonic function and an -valued smooth function , defined on an open set containing the closure of a bounded domain in a Euclidean space , satisfying , and , where is a constant. Here is the harmonic measure on with respect to 0. This inequality extends Burkholder's inequality in which and , a Euclidean space.

     

Lie Incidence Systems from Projective Varieties

The homogeneous space , where is a simple algebraic group and a parabolic subgroup corresponding to a fundamental weight (with respect to a fixed Borel subgroup of in ), is known in at least two settings. On the one hand, it is a projective variety, embedded in the projective space corresponding to the representation with highest weight . On the other hand, in synthetic geometry, is furnished with certain subsets, called lines, of the form where is a preimage in of the fundamental reflection corresponding to and . The result is called the Lie incidence structure on . The lines are projective lines in the projective embedding. In this paper we investigate to what extent the projective variety data determines the Lie incidence structure.

A torsion-free abelian group is if every map from a pure subgroup of into lifts to an endomorphism of The class of groups has been extensively studied, resulting in a number of nice characterizations. We obtain some characterizations for the class of homogeneous groups, those homogeneous groups such that, for pure in every has a lifting to a quasi-endomorphism of An irreducible group is if and only if every pure subgroup of each of its strongly indecomposable quasi-summands is strongly indecomposable. A group is if and only if every endomorphism of is an integral multiple of an automorphism. A group has minimal test for quasi-equivalence ( if whenever and are quasi-isomorphic pure subgroups of then and are equivalent via a quasi-automorphism of For homogeneous groups, we show that in almost all cases the and properties coincide.
