Extremal Self-Dual Codes over \mathbb{F} 2 × \mathbb{F} 2

In this paper, it is shown that extremal (Hermitian) self-dual codes over ₂ × ₂ exist only for lengths 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10. All extremal self-dual codes over ₂ × ₂ are found. In particular, it is shown that there is a unique extremal self-dual code up to equivalence for lengths 8 and 10. Optimal self-dual codes are also investigated. A classification is given for binary [12, 7, 4] codes with dual distance 4, binary [13, 7, 4] codes with dual distance 4 and binary [13, 8, 4] codes with dual distance 4.     

Riemannsche Arealstrukturen und multiquadratische Formen

It is well known (and rather trivial to prove) that the square F² of a Finsler norm F:TM on a differentiable manifold M is differentiable at the zero section if and only if F is the norm function of a Riemannian metric. However, the corresponding question for a general p-areal on M is far less trivial to settle and leads to interesting algebraic and combinatorial problems concerning multiquadratic forms. For p=2, the results are closely related to known properties of the curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric.     

Isotrope Kurventheorie aufS 2 × ℝ

In this note we define an isotropic metric on the threedimensional manifoldS ² × . This metric will allow an symmetric riemannian connection , wich will be used to do differential geometry on S² × . We develope theory of curves onS ² × and show some relations to the theory of curves of threedimensional isotropic spaceI ₃.     

Algebraic Properties of the Mikusiński Convolution Algebra

Let M be the space of all continuous, complex valued functions defined on [0, ]. This, with the convolution operation (^f*g)(t) = ₀ ^{t f}(t–)g() d yields a commutative, associative algebra. A new proof that M is a Jacobson radical algebra is given. The ideal structures of M and its Dorroh extension to an algebra, M¹, with unity are investigated. The algebraic properties of M are used to obtain new proofs of existence and uniqueness of solutions for certain integral and integro-differential equations.     

Symmetrization of functions in Sobolev spaces and the isoperimetric inequality

A positive measurable function f on R^d can be symmetrized to a function f^* depending only on the distance r, and with the same distribution function as f. If the distribution derivatives of f are Radon measures then we have the inequality f^*f, where f is the total mass of the gradient. This inequality is a generalisation of the classical isoperimetric inequality for sets. Furthermore, and this is important for applications, if f belongs to the Sobolev space H¹,P then f^* belongs to H¹,P and f^*_pf_p.     

A note on operator norm inequalities

If P is a positive operator on a Hilbert space H whose range is dense, then a theorem of Foias, Ong, and Rosenthal says that: [(P)]^–1T[(P)]<-12 max {T, P^–1TP} for any bounded operator T on H, where is a continuous, concave, nonnegative, nondecreasing function on [0, P]. This inequality is extended to the class of normal operators with dense range to obtain the inequality [(N)]^–1T[(N)]<-12c² max {tT, N^–1TN} where is a complex valued function in a class of functions called vase-like, and c is a constant which is associated with by the definition of vase-like. As a corollary, it is shown that the reflexive lattice of operator ranges generated by the range NH of a normal operator N consists of the ranges of all operators of the form (N), where is vase-like. Similar results are obtained for scalar-type spectral operators on a Hilbert space.This author gratefully acknowledges the support of Central Michigan University in the form of a Research Professorship.     

A functional inequality for real-analytic functions

Summary Forf ( C ⁿ() and 0 t x letJ _n (f, t, x) = (–1)ⁿ f(–x)f ⁽ⁿ⁾(t) +f(x)f ⁽ⁿ⁾ (–t). We prove that the only real-analytic functions satisfyingJ _n (f, t, x) 0 for alln = 0, 1, 2, are the exponential functionsf(x) = c e ^x,c, . Further we present a nontrivial class of real-analytic functions satisfying the inequalitiesJ ₀ (f, x, x) 0 and ₀ ^x (x – t)^{n – 1}J_n(f, t, x)dt 0 (n 1).     

On regular embedding integrally in R3 of metrics of class C4 of negative curvature

On the x₀y plane let there be specified a complete metric of negative curvature K by means of the line element ds²=dx²+B²(x, y) dy², and, in the strip _a={0xa, -4-bounded function B>0,K-²<0 ( and are constants). Then, the metric in strip _a is embedded in R³ by means of a surface of class C³.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 2, pp. 261–266, August, 1973.     

Über die Anzahl der Gitterpunkte in verallgemeinerten Kreissektoren

In this paper we consider lattice points in domains bounded by algebraic curves of the formx ⁿ+yⁿ=Rⁿ fulfilling the additional condition where and are fixed positive real numbers. The number of these lattice points is estimated for largeR and it appears that for rational or badly approximable and the error term in the final result can be made smaller (at least forn3) than it is best possible when counting the lattice points without the additional condition indicated above.

Baum-Connes conjecture and coarse geometry

In this paper, we show that the Baum-Connes conjecture for a discrete group with coefficients inl (,K) is equivalent to the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture for as a metric space with a length metric. We apply this result to prove special cases of the Baum-Connes conjecture.Supported by DMS8505550 through a MSRI Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Visibility and parallelotopes in projective space

It is shown that if is a finite set of points in an ordered d-dimensional projective space, d2 and if all the hyperplanes spanned by points of are considered, then every such a hyperplane is visible from at most 2^d distinct points of ; if a hyperplane bounds 2^d distinct residences, then it contains exactly d points of . These results have been proved previously for d=2 and d=3.This paper is a revised version of results presented at the Conference on Geometry held at the University of Haifa (Israel), March. 10–13 (1975), [6].     

The Theorem of Fáry and Milnor for Hadamard Manifolds

Suppose M is a complete noncompact surface C² immersed in E³ with K 0. It is proved that M is a cylinder if H 2 for some > 0. Moreover, the pinching constant 2 is optimal.     

Deformation of a submanifold in an Euclidean space with fixed Gauss image

In a previous paper [4] the present author studied a C mapping where M is an m-dimensional C manifold, I is some interval and for each tI the mapping is an immersion satisfying the following conditions, (i) The Gauss map associated with the immersion is regular. (ii) The Gauss image of the immersed submanifold is fixed against t for each point p of M. Such a mapping was called an admissible deformation. The purpose of the present paper is to give results obtained since then.
