A class of multipliers for $$\mathcal{W}^ \bot $$

Let denote the class of ergodic probability preserving transformations which are disjoint from every weakly mixing system. Let be the class of multipliers for , i.e. ergodic transformations whose all ergodic joinings with any element of are also in . Fix an ergodic rotationT, a mildly mixing actionS of a locally compact second countable groupG and an ergodic cocycle ϕ forT with values inG. The main result of the paper is a sufficient (and also necessary by [LeP] whenG is countable Abelian andS is Bernoullian) condition for the skew product build fromT, ϕ andS to be an element of . Moreover, the self-joinings of such extensions ofT are described with an application to study semisimple extensions of rotations.

Eine Verallgemeinerung derCW-Komplexe

In the definition ofCW-complexes, the one-point spaceP, respectively the spaceP∪* with basepoint *, play the roll of the only “building-stone”. Let be a family of compact spaces. Then the definition of a generalizedCW-complex over is obtained from the definition of aCW-complex by replacingP by the spaces of and formation of the mapping cone by a slightly modified construction. LetCW * denote the category of all pointed spaces which have the homotopy type of a generalizedCW-complex over . If , thenCW * is the category of all pointedCW-spaces.CW * is closed under the formation of direct sums and of mapping cones, cylinders and tori, and is formally characterized as the smallest such subcategory of Top * containing the spaces W∪*, . Following the methods of E. H. Brown, it is proved, that any half exact homotopy functor onCW * is representable, and any cohomology theory onCW is naturally equivalent to the cohomology theory of an Ω-spectrum; for example, the singular cohomo logy is representable onCW for any family of compact spaces.

Baer cotorsion Pairs

LetR be a unital associative ring and two classes of leftR-modules. In [St3] the notion of a ( ) pair was introduced. In analogy to classical cotorsion pairs, a pair (V,W) of subclasses is called a ( ) pair if it is maximal with respect to the classes and the condition Ext _R ¹ (V, W)=0 for all . In this paper we study pairs whereR = ℤ and is the class of all torsion-free abelian groups andT is the class of all torsion abelian groups. A complete characterization is obtained assumingV=L. For example, it is shown that every pair is singly cognerated underV=L. The author was supported by a DFG grant.     

Galois groups and complete domains

Consider a domain that is complete with respect to a non-zero prime ideal. This paper proves two Galois-theoretic results about such rings. Using Grothendieck’s Existence Theorem we prove that every finite group occurs as the Galois group of a Galois extension of . This generalizes results of David Harbater who proved the result in the case where the ideal is maximal and the domain is normal. As a consequence, we deduce that if is a Noetherian domain that is complete with respect to a non-zero prime ideal, then every finite group occurs as a Galois group over . This proves the Noetherian case of a conjecture posed by Moshe Jarden.     

Pseudo algebraically closed fields over rings

We prove that for almost allσ ∈G ℚ the field has the following property: For each absolutely irreducible affine varietyV of dimensionr and each dominating separable rational mapϕ:V→ there exists a point a ∈ such thatϕ(a) ∈ ℤ^r. We then say that is PAC over ℤ. This is a stronger property then being PAC. Indeed we show that beside the fields other fields which are algebraic over ℤ and are known in the literature to be PAC are not PAC over ℤ.     

On the representation of differentiations by Hamiltonians,operating from an algebra of local observable spin systems

Let and be algebras of local and quasilocal observable spin systems corresponding to the group Zr, be a differentiation invariant with respect to displacements. The question of representation of D in the form of formal Hamiltonian formed by the displacements of an elementx ε is considered. It is shown that such a representation exists if the condition holds, where means an element obtained from the elements [T_kX,a] by some r-multiple process of summation.

A new class of contact riemannian manifolds

N. Tanaka ([10]) defined the canonical affine connection on a nondegenerate integrable CR manifold. In the present paper, we introduce a new class of contact Riemannian manifolds satisfying (C) ( for any unit -geodesic ( , where is the generalized Tanaka connection. In particular, when the associated CR structure of a given contact Riemannian manifold is integrable we have a structure theorem and find examples which are neither Sasakian nor locally symmetric but satisfy the condition (C).

Blaschke-decomposable convex bodies

For a given centred convex bodyK of ℝ,n≥3, let be the class of all convex bodies with the same projection body asK. The question whetherK can be expressed as a Blaschke average of two non-homothetic bodies from is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions onK to be Blaschke decomposable in are given. The paper provides also a characterization of the bodiesK such that the Blaschke indecomposable bodies in are dense in itself.     

On residue complexes,dualizing sheaves and local cohomology modules

According to Grothendieck Duality Theory [RD], on each varietyV over a fieldk, there is a canonical complex of -modules, theresidue complex . These complexes satisfy (and are characterized by) functorial properties in the categoryV ofk-varieties. In [Ye] a complex is constructed explicitly (when the fieldk is perfect). The main result of this paper is that the two families of complexes, and , which carry certain additional data (such as trace maps…), are uniquely isomorphic. As a corollary we recover Lipman’s canonical dualizing sheaf of [Li], and we obtain formulas for residues of local cohomology classes of differential forms.

On some properties of the metric subalgebras ofℓ ∞

The objects studied are the subalgebras of which contain c_o. These are isometrically isomorphic to the algebras C( ) where is a compactification of a discrete denumerable set N . It is shown: 1) If is metric then there is a projection of norm 1, P: C( ) C( ) with kernel c_o defined by PF = f o where is a retraction of onto = – N . 2) If is metric, then the group of homeomorphisms of is isomorphic to a complete group of permutations of the natural numbers . 3) The group of homeomorphisms of a compact metric space is the homomorphic image of a complete group of permutations of ("complete" means "no outer automorphisms, trivial center").

Exponential generating functions and complexity of Lie varieties

Suppose that % MathType!End!2!1! is a variety of Lie algebras, and letc _n( % MathType!End!2!1!) be the dimension of the linear span of all multilinear words onn distinct letters in the free algebraF( % MathType!End!2!1!,X) of the variety % MathType!End!2!1!. We consider an exponential generating function % MathType!End!2!1!, called the complexity function. The complexity function is an entire function of a complex variable provided the variety of Lie algebras is nontrivial. In this paper we introduce the notion of complexity for Lie varieties in terms of the growth of complexity functions; also we describe what the complexity means for the codimension growth of the variety. Our main goal is to specify the complexity of a product of two Lie varieties in terms of the complexities of multiplicands. The main observation here is thatC( % MathType!End!2!1!),z) behaves like a composition of three functionsC( % MathType!End!2!1!),z), exp(z), andC( % MathType!End!2!1!),z).

Loose block independence

A finite state stationary process is defined to be loosely block independent if long blocks are almost independent in the sense. We show that loose block independence is preserved under Kakutani equivalence and limits. We show directly that any loosely block independent process is the limit of Bernoulli processes and is a factor of a process which is Kakutani equivalent to a Bernoulli shift. The existing equivalence theory then yields that the loosely block independent processes are exactly the loosely Bernoulli (or finitely fixed) processes.

Connessioni adattate a una struttura quasi prodotto

Sunto Un campo di vettori di una varietà riemanniana V_n+1 induce in essa mediante la decomposizione locale dello spazio tangente nel sottospazio parallelo a e nel sottospazio ad esso normale e supplementare una particolare struttura quasi prodotto. Vengono qui studiate le connessioni rispettanti tale struttura (connessioni vincolate) con particolare riguardo alla connessione vincolata canonicamente associata alla connessione riemanniana Γ. Si danno semplici formule che legano la derivazione covariante secondo alla derivazione covariante riemanniana. Lavoro eseguito nell'ambito dell'attività del Gruppo di ricerca matematica N^o 1 del C.

Completion of restricted Lie algebras

We study pro-‘finite dimensional finite exponent’ completions of restricted Lie algebras over finite fields of characteristicp. These compact Hausdorff topological restricted Lie algebras, called pro- restricted Lie algebras, are the restricted Lie-theoretic analogues of pro-p groups. A structure theory for pro- restricted Lie algebras with finite rank is developed. In particular, the centre of such a Lie algebra is shown to be open. As an application we examinep-adic analytic pro-p groups in terms of their associated pro- restricted Lie algebras. Supported by NSERC of Canada.
