A generalization of Brauer''s map of decomposition

We first reformulate Quillen's localization theorem forG-theory in complicial bi-Waldhausen category setting. Secondly, because of this reformulation, we are able to generalize Brauer's decomposition mapd ₀:G ₀(KG)G ₀(kG) to higherG-theory leveld _n :G _n (KG)G _n (kG),n=0, 1 ..., whereG is a finite group,R a Dedekind domain,m a maximal ideal ofR,K=quotient field ofR andk=R/m.     

Reflexible maps and hypermaps with face–stabilisers pointwise stabilising half the faces

This paper deals mainly with reflexible hypermaps in which the stabiliser of a hyperface fixes exactly half the hyperfaces - these reflexible hypermaps are called here 2-dichromatic. The number of hyperfaces of any 2-dichromatic hypermap must be necessarily even and greater than or equal to 4. We prove that if then is necessarily orientable and of type , for some positive integers , and , and show that the automorphism group of a 2-dichromatic hypermap is a wreath product. We also construct an infinite family of orientable 2-dichromatic hypermaps of type with 2n hyperfaces (n even). If is a 2-dichromatic map then . In 1959 Sherk [19] described an infinite family of orientable maps, he denoted by , where , and are positive integers satisfying certain conditions. We find in the dual family a subfamily of infinitely many 2-dichromatic maps. Received 23 August 1999; revised 27 March 2000.     

Enumerating near-4-regular maps on the sphere and the torus

In this paper rooted near-4-regular maps on the plane and the torus are counted with formulae with respect to four parameters: the root valency, the number of edges, the inner faces, and nonroot-vertex loops. In particular, the number of rooted near-4-regular maps on those surfaces with exactly k nonroot-vertex loops is investigated.     

Weak monotonicity inequality and partial regularity for harmonic maps

The notion of locally weak monotonicity inequality for weakly harmonic maps is introduced and various results on this class of maps are obtained. For example, the locally weak monotonicity inequality is nearly equivalent to theε-regularity.

Statistical maps: A categorical approach

In probability theory, each random variable f can be viewed as channel through which the probability p of the original probability space is transported to the distribution p _f , a probability measure on the real Borel sets. In the realm of fuzzy probability theory, fuzzy probability measures (equivalently states) are transported via statistical maps (equivalently, fuzzy random variables, operational random variables, Markov kernels, observables). We deal with categorical aspects of the transportation of (fuzzy) probability measures on one measurable space into probability measures on another measurable spaces. A key role is played by D-posets (equivalently effect algebras) of fuzzy sets. Supported by VEGA 1/2002/06.     

A geometric theory of harmonic and semi-conformal maps

We describe for any Riemannian manifold M a certain scheme M _L , lying in between the first and second neighbourhood of the diagonal of M. Semi-conformal maps between Riemannian manifolds are then analyzed as those maps that preserve M _L ; harmonic maps are analyzed as those that preserve the (Levi-Civita-) mirror image formation inside M _L .     

Zero product preserving maps on Banach algebras of Lipschitz functions

Let (K,d) be a non-empty, compact metric space and α∈]0,1[. Let A be either lipα(K) or Lipα(K) and let B be a commutative unital Banach algebra. We show that every continuous linear map T:A→B with the property that T(f)T(g)=0 whenever f,g∈A are such that fg=0 is of the form T=wΦ for some invertible element w in B and some continuous epimorphism Φ:A→B.     

Benders' decomposition for the constrainedl 1-problem

A constrainedl ₁-problem, involving linear functions only, is considered, and the application of the Benders decomposition method to the solution of the same is discussed. This approach, in principle, seems to be promising and is also applicable to the unconstrained case. Certain small illustrative examples are also presented.This work was done while the first author was visiting the Numerical Optimisation Centre at the Hatfield Polytechnic under the auspices of the British Council and he wishes to acknowledge the excellent research facilities provided by the Polytechnic during the period of his stay. Thanks are also due to Dr. M. C. Bartholomew-Biggs for his valuable comments at various stages of the preparation of this report.     

F-Continuous Graphs

For a nontrivial connected graph F, the F-degree of a vertex in a graph G is the number of copies of F in G containing . A graph G is F-continuous (or F-degree continuous) if the F-degrees of every two adjacent vertices of G differ by at most 1. All P₃-continuous graphs are determined. It is observed that if G is a nontrivial connected graph that is F-continuous for all nontrivial connected graphs F, then either G is regular or G is a path. In the case of a 2-connected graph F, however, there always exists a regular graph that is not F-continuous. It is also shown that for every graph H and every 2-connected graph F, there exists an F-continuous graph G containing H as an induced subgraph.     

Some Notes on <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-quotients of Frames

We characterise C*-quotients and C-quotients of completely regular frames in terms of ?ech-Stone compactifications and Lindelöfications, respectively. The latter is a frame-theoretic result with no spatial counterpart. We also characterise C*-quotients and dense C-quotients of completely regular frames in terms of normal covers.     

Primary decomposition over rings graded by finitely generated Abelian groups

Let A be a Noetherian ring which is graded by a finitely generated Abelian group G. In general, for G-graded modules there do not exist primary decompositions which are graded themselves. This is quite different from the case of gradings by torsion free group, for which graded primary decompositions always exists. In this paper we introduce G-primary decompositions as a natural analogue to primary decomposition for G-graded A-modules. We show the existence of G-primary decomposition and give a few characterizations analogous to Bourbaki's treatment for torsion free groups.     

On finite decomposition complexity of Thompson group

Finite decomposition complexity (FDC) is a large scale property of a metric space. It generalizes finite asymptotic dimension and applies to a wide class of groups. To make the property quantitative, a countable ordinal “the complexity” can be defined for a metric space with FDC. In this paper we prove that the subgroup Z?Z of Thompson?s group F belongs to Dω exactly, where ω is the smallest infinite ordinal number and show that F equipped with the word-metric with respect to the infinite generating set {x₀,x₁,…,xn,…} does not have finite decomposition complexity.     

Counting the number of indecomposable representations and a q-analogue of the Weyl-Kac denominator identity of type $$ \tilde B_n $$

By using Frobenius maps and F-stable representations, we count the number of isomorphism classes of indecomposable representations with the fixed dimension vector of a species of type over a finite field, first, and then, as an application, give a q-analogue of the Weyl-Kac denominator identity of type .

The decomposition of Kv into K2×K5''''s

The decomposition of the complete graph Kv into Kr×Kc's, the products of Kr and Kc,is originated from the use of DNA library screening. In this paper, we consider the case where r=2 and c = 5, and show that such a decomposition exists if and only if v ≡ 1 (mod 25).     

Invariants for normal completely positive maps on the hyperfinite II1 factor

Results on <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>-continuous graphs

For any nontrivial connected graph F and any graph G, the F-degree of a vertex v in G is the number of copies of F in G containing v. G is called F-continuous if and only if the F-degrees of any two adjacent vertices in G differ by at most 1; G is F-regular if the F-degrees of all vertices in G are the same. This paper classifies all P ₄-continuous graphs with girth greater than 3. We show that for any nontrivial connected graph F other than the star K _1,k , k ⩾ 1, there exists a regular graph that is not F-continuous. If F is 2-connected, then there exists a regular F-continuous graph that is not F-regular.
