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.

The main result is as follows: a function , belongs to if and only if for each bounded continuous function , the function is Stepanov almost periodic (of order 1) and

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.

Primitive elements of the free groups of the varieties\mathfrak{A}\mathfrak{N}_n

For groups of the formF/N', we find necessary and sufficient conditions for an elementg∈N/N' to belong to the normal closure of an elementh∈F/N'. It is proved that, in contrast to the case of a free metabelian group, for a free group of the variety , there exists an elementh whose normal closure contains a primitive elementg, but the elementsh andg ^±1 are not conjugate. In the groupF( ), two nonconjugate elements are chosen that have equal normal closures. Translated fromMaternaticheskie Zametki, Vol. 61, No. 6, pp. 884–889, June, 1997. Translated by A. I.

Positive elements in the algebra of the quantum moment problem

Summary Let denote the extended Weyl algebra, , the Weyl algebra. It is well known that every element of of the formA=B _k ^* B _k is positive. We prove that the converse implication also holds: Every positive elementA in has a quadratic sum factorization for some finite set of elements (B _k ) in . The corresponding result is not true for the subalgebra . We identify states on which do not extend to states on . It follows from a result of Powers (and Arveson) that such states on cannot be completely positive. Our theorem is based on a certain regularity property for the representations which are generated by states on , and this property is not in general shared by representations generated by states defined only on the subalgebra .Work supported in part by the NSF     

Infinite Independent Systems of Identities of an Associative Algebra over an Infinite Field of Characteristic Two

Let be the variety of associative (special Jordan, respectively) algebras over an infinite field of characteristic 2 defined by the identity ((((x ₁,x ₂),x ₃), ((x ₄,x ₅),x ₆)), (x ₇,x ₈)) = 0 (((x ₁ x ₂ · x ₃)(x ₄ x ₅ · x ₆))(x ₇ x ₈) = 0, respectively). In this paper, we construct infinite independent systems of identities in the variety ( , respectively). This implies that the set of distinct nonfinitely based subvarieties of the variety has the cardinality of the continuum and that there are algebras in with undecidable word problem.     

Asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimate in the first order autoregressive process

Summary In this paper we obtain an asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) based onT observations from the first order Gaussian process up to the term of orderT ⁻¹. The expansion is used to compare with a generalized estimate including the least square estimate (LSE) , based on the asymptotic probabilities around the true value of the estimates up to the terms of orderT ⁻¹. It is shown that (or the modified MLE ) is better than (or the modified estimate ). Further, we note that does not attain the bound for third order asymptotic median unbiased estimates.     

A local duality theorem for categories of modules

Let Λ be an associative ring with identity and let be the category of left unitary Λ-modules. A subcateqory of the category is said to be small if the pairwise nonisomorphic objects of form a set. The main result of this paper consists of the fact that for every small full subcategory , there exists a ring Γ such that is dual to a small full subcategory of the category . Some applications of this result are indicated. Bibliography: 3 titles. Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 227, 1995, pp. 66–73.

Integral-valued rational functions on valued fields

Let K be a field and a non-trivial valuation ring of K withm as its maximal ideal. Denote by and the rings of polynomials f∈K[X] and rational functions f∈K(X) resp. such that . We prove that for one variable X we have if and only if the completion of (K, ) is locally compact or algebraically closed. In the second case—i.e. if K is dense in the algebraic closure of (K, )—we even get for any number of variables X=(X₁,...,X_n). This work contains parts of the second author's thesis [Ri] written under the supervision of the first author.     

The closure diagram for nilpotent orbits of the split real form of E8

Let and be adjoint nilpotent orbits in a real semisimple Lie algebra. Write ≥ if is contained in the closure of . This defines a partial order on the set of such orbits, known as the closure ordering. We determine this order for the split real form of the simple complex Lie algebra, E ₈. The proof is based on the fact that the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence preserves the closure ordering. We also present a comprehensive list of simple representatives of these orbits, and list the irreeducible components of the boundaries and of the intersections .     

Trajectory and Global Attractors of Three-Dimensional Navier--Stokes Systems

We construct the trajectory attractor of a three-dimensional Navier--Stokes system with exciting force . The set consists of a class of solutions to this system which are bounded in , defined on the positive semi-infinite interval of the time axis, and can be extended to the entire time axis so that they still remain bounded-in- solutions of the Navier--Stokes system. In this case any family of bounded-in- solutions of this system comes arbitrary close to the trajectory attractor . We prove that the solutions are continuous in t if they are treated in the space of functions ranging in . The restriction of the trajectory attractor to , , is called the global attractor of the Navier--Stokes system. We prove that the global attractor thus defined possesses properties typical of well-known global attractors of evolution equations. We also prove that as the trajectory attractors and the global attractors of the -order Galerkin approximations of the Navier--Stokes system converge to the trajectory and global attractors and , respectively. Similar problems are studied for the cases of an exciting force of the form depending on time and of an external force rapidly oscillating with respect to the spatial variables or with respect to time .     

Elementary properties of free extensions

For any partial groupoid , let Fr be the free extension of to a total groupoid. We show that implies and that the theory of Fr is uniformly recursive in the theory of . These results fail if “groupoid” is replaced by “semigroup”, “commutative semigroup”, “group”, “abelian group”, “semilattice”, “K-lattice” for any nontrivial varietyK of lattices, or “Boolean algebra”.

Quantum duality in quantum deformations

In accordance with the quantum duality principle, the twisted algebra is equivalent to the quantum group and has two preferred bases: one inherited from the universal enveloping algebra and the other generated by coordinate functions of the dual Lie group . We show howthe transformation can be explicitly obtained for any simple Lie algebra and a factorable chain of extended Jordanian twists. In the algebra , we introduce a natural vector grading , compatible with the adjoint representation of the algebra. Passing to the dual-group coordinates allows essentially simplifying the costructure of the deformed Hopf algebra , considered as a quantum group . The transformation can be used to construct new solutions of the twist equations. We construct a parameterized family of extended Jordanian deformations and study it in terms of ; we find new realizations of the parabolic twist.

Groupwise density and related cardinals

We prove several theorems about the cardinal associated with groupwise density. With respect to a natural ordering of families of nond-ecreasing maps from to, all families of size are below all unbounded families. With respect to a natural ordering of filters on, all filters generated by sets are below all non-feeble filters. If then and . (The definitions of these cardinals are recalled in the introduction.) Finally, some consequences deduced from by Laflamme are shown to be equivalent to .     

On periodic groups of automorphisms of extremal groups

It is proved that if a periodic group has an extremal normal divisor , determining a complete abelian factor group , then the center of the group contains a complete abelian subgroup , satisfying the relation and intersecting on a finite subgroup. It is also established with the aid of this proposition that every periodic group of automorphisms of an extremal group is a finite extension of a contained in it subgroup of inner automorphisms of the group .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 91–96, July, 1968.     

On the numerical construction of an attractor for the Navier-Stokes system

In this paper the problem of the numerical approximation of the minimal global B-attractor for a semiflow generated by the Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional bounded domain Ω is considered. The method suggested here is based on the formula , where G^N is a sequence of compact subsets of L₂(Ω), . The procedure of constructing G^N is finite and includes the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations by means of the Galerkin method, together with an explicit finite-difference discretization in time.
