Quadratic addition rules for quantum integers

For every positive integer n, the quantum integer [n]_q is the polynomial [n]_q=1+q+q²+?+q^n-1. A quadratic addition rule for quantum integers consists of sequences of polynomials , , and such that for all m and n. This paper gives a complete classification of quadratic addition rules, and also considers sequences of polynomials that satisfy the associated functional equation .     

Quantifications des algèbres de Hopf d'arbres plans décorés et lien avec les groupes quantiques

We introduce a functor from the category of braided spaces into the category of braided Hopf algebras which associates to a braided space V a braided Hopf algebra of planar rooted trees . We show that the Nichols algebra of V is a subquotient of . We construct a Hopf pairing between and , generalising one of the results of [Bull. Sci. Math. 126 (2002) 193-239]. When the braiding of c is given by c(v_i⊗v_j)=q_i,jv_j⊗v_i, we obtain a quantification of the Hopf algebras introduced in [Bull. Sci. Math. 126 (2002) 193-239; 126 (2002) 249-288]. When q_i,j=q^a_i,j, with q an indeterminate and (a_i,j)_i,j the Cartan matrix of a semi-simple Lie algebra , then is a subquotient of . In this case, we construct the crossed product of with a torus and then the Drinfel'd quantum double of this Hopf algebra. We show that is a subquotient of .     

q-Analog of the Möbius function and the cyclotomic identity associated to a profinite group

Let G be a profinite group and q an indeterminate. In this paper, we introduce and study a q-analog of the Möbius function and the cyclotomic identity arising from the lattice of open subgroups of G. When q is any integer, we show that they have close connections with the functors , , and introduced in [Y.-T. Oh, q-Deformation of Witt-Burnside rings, Math. Z. 257 (2007) 151-191]. In particular, we interpret the multiplicative property of the inverse of the table of marks and the Möbius function of G as a composition property of certain functors. Classification of , , and up to strict natural isomorphism as q varies over the set of integers and its application will be dealt with, too.     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

Carleson measures, multipliers and integration operators for spaces of Dirichlet type

For 0<p<∞ and α>−1, we let denote the space of those functions f which are analytic in the unit disc and satisfy . In this paper we characterize the positive Borel measures μ in D such that , 0<p<q<∞. We also characterize the pointwise multipliers from to (0<p<q<∞) if p−2<α<p. In particular, we prove that if the only pointwise multiplier from to (0<p<q<∞) is the trivial one. This is not longer true for and we give a number of explicit examples of functions which are multipliers from to for this range of values.     

Bounded Kähler class rigidity of actions on Hermitian symmetric spaces

We prove that the conjugacy class of a Zariski dense representation , q>p?1, of a finitely generated group Γ is completely determined by the pull-back via π of a bounded cohomology class in defined in terms of the Kähler form on the associated symmetric space. Under the assumption that is finite dimensional, we show that, up to equivalence, there is only a finite number of such representations for fixed q>p?1; moreover, under the hypothesis that injects into , we estimate the total number of such representations (for all q>p?1) to be bounded above by .     

Plane algebraic curves with Singer automorphisms

Non-singular plane algebraic curves over with a Singer group of PGL(3,q) in their automorphism group are classified. Apart from three distinguished points, the set of -rational points of such curves can be partitioned into 2−(q²+q+1,q+1,1) designs each isomorphic to the finite projective plane .     

Geometric degree of finite extensions of mappings from a smooth variety

Let f:V→W be a finite polynomial mapping of algebraic subsets V,W of and , respectively, with n≤m. It is known that f can be extended to a finite polynomial mapping . Moreover, it is known that, if V,W are smooth of dimension k,4k+2≤n=m, and f is dominated on every component (without vertical components) then there exists a finite polynomial extension such that , where means the number of points in the generic fiber of h. In this note we improve this result. Namely we show that there exists a finite polynomial extension such that .     

On a theorem of Chowla

Let be a finite field with q=p^felements, where p is a prime number and f is a positive integer. For a nonprincipal multiplicative character χ and a nontrivial additive character ψ on , it is well known that Gauss sum has absolute value . In this paper, we investigate when is a root of unity.     

Hecke group algebras as quotients of affine Hecke algebras at level 0

The Hecke group algebra of a finite Coxeter group , as introduced by the first and last authors, is obtained from by gluing appropriately its 0-Hecke algebra and its group algebra. In this paper, we give an equivalent alternative construction in the case when is the finite Weyl group associated to an affine Weyl group W. Namely, we prove that, for q not a root of unity of small order, is the natural quotient of the affine Hecke algebra H(W)(q) through its level 0 representation.The proof relies on the following core combinatorial result: at level 0 the 0-Hecke algebra H(W)(0) acts transitively on . Equivalently, in type A, a word written on a circle can be both sorted and antisorted by elementary bubble sort operators. We further show that the level 0 representation is a calibrated principal series representation M(t) for a suitable choice of character t, so that the quotient factors (non-trivially) through the principal central specialization. This explains in particular the similarities between the representation theory of the 0-Hecke algebra and that of the affine Hecke algebra H(W)(q) at this specialization.     

Bounded Toeplitz products on the weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball

Let p>1 and let q denote the number such that (1/p)+(1/q)=1. We give a necessary condition for the product of Toeplitz operators to be bounded on the weighted Bergman space of the unit ball (α>−1), where and , as well as a sufficient condition for to be bounded on . We use techniques different from those in [K. Stroethoff, D. Zheng, Bounded Toeplitz products on Bergman spaces of the unit ball, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 325 (2007) 114-129], in which the case p=2 was proved.     

Estimate of the L-Fourier transform norm on nilpotent Lie groups

Let 1<p?2 and q be such that . It is well known that the norm of the L^p-Fourier transform of the additive group is , where . For a nilpotent Lie group G, we obtain the estimate , where m is the maximal dimension of the coadjoint orbits. Such a result was known only for some particular cases.     

On Gibbs measures of P-adic Potts model on the cayley tree

We consider a nearest-neighbor p-adic Potts (with q ≥ 2 spin values and coupling constant J ? _p) model on the Cayley tree of order k ≥ 1. It is proved that a phase transition occurs at k = 2, q ? p and p ≥ 3 (resp. q ? 2², p = 2). It is established that for p-adic Potts model at k ≥ 3 a phase transition may occur only at q ? p if p ≥ 3 and q ? 2² if p = 2.
