-bounding and -induction

Working in the base theory of , we show that for all , the bounding principle for -formulas ( ) is equivalent to the induction principle for -formulas ( ). This partially answers a question of J. Paris.

     

Distinguished representations and poles of twisted tensor -functions

Let be a quadratic extension of -adic fields. If is an admissible representation of that is parabolically induced from discrete series representations, then we prove that the space of -invariant linear functionals on has dimension one, where is the mirabolic subgroup. As a corollary, it is deduced that if is distinguished by , then the twisted tensor -function associated to has a pole at . It follows that if is a discrete series representation, then at most one of the representations and is distinguished, where is an extension of the local class field theory character associated to . This is in agreement with a conjecture of Flicker and Rallis that relates the set of distinguished representations with the image of base change from a suitable unitary group.

     

Lie derivations of -subspace lattice algebras

We describe the structure of Lie derivations of -subspace lattice algebras. The results can apply to atomic Boolean subspace lattice algebras and pentagon subspace lattice algebras, respectively.

     

Universal spaces for almost -dimensionality

We find universal functions for the class of lower semi-continuous (LSC) functions with at most -dimensional domain. In an earlier paper we proved that a space is almost -dimensional if and only if it is homeomorphic to the graph of an LSC function with an at most -dimensional domain. We conclude that the class of almost -dimensional spaces contains universal elements (that are topologically complete). These universal spaces can be thought of as higher-dimensional analogues of complete Erdos space.

     

The -local -homology of

In this paper, we introduce a Hopf algebra, developed by the author and André Henriques, which is usable in the computation of the -homology of a space. As an application, we compute the -homology of in a manner analogous to Mahowald and Milgram's computation of the -homology .

     

Pseudofree -actions on surfaces

In this paper, we give a weak classification of locally linear pseudofree actions of the cyclic group of order on a surface, and prove the existence of such an action which cannot be realized as a smooth action on the standard smooth surface.

     

The distribution functions of and

Let be the sum of the positive divisors of . We show that the natural density of the set of integers satisfying is given by , where denotes Euler's constant. The same result holds when is replaced by , where is Euler's totient function.

     

The projective -character bounds the order of a -base

All spaces below are Tychonov. We define the projective - character of a space as the supremum of the values where ranges over all (Tychonov) continuous images of . Our main result says that every space has a -base whose order is ; that is, every point in is contained in at most -many members of the -base. Since for compact , this is a significant generalization of a celebrated result of Shapirovskii.

     

A -sampling theorem and product formula for continuous -Jacobi functions

In this paper we derive a q-analogue of the sampling theorem for Jacobi functions. We also establish a product formula for the nonterminating version of the q-Jacobi polynomials. The proof uses recent results in the theory of q-orthogonal polynomials and basic hypergeometric functions.

     

-adic -basis and regular local ring

We introduce the concept of -adic -basis as an extension of the concept of -basis. Let be a regular local ring of prime characteristic and a ring such that . Then we prove that is a regular local ring if and only if there exists an -adic -basis of and is Noetherian.

     

planes in

We establish a homeomorphism between the moduli space of ordered -tuples of 2-dimensional linear subspaces (mod ) and the quotient by simultaneous conjugation of a certain open subset . For , this leads to an explicit computation of the moduli space of central 2-arrangements in mod and its subspace of those classes that contain a complex hyperplane arrangement.

     

A separable non-remainder of

We prove that there is a compact separable continuum that (consistently) is not a remainder of the real line.

     

Automatic continuity of -derivations on -algebras

Let be a -algebra acting on a Hilbert space , let be a linear mapping and let be a -derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if is a continuous -mapping, then is automatically continuous. In addition, we show the converse is true in the sense that if is a continuous --derivation, then there exists a continuous linear mapping such that is a --derivation. The continuity of the so-called - -derivations is also discussed.

     

An ultrafilter with property

Let be a -supercompact cardinal. We show that carries a normal ultrafilter with a property introduced by Menas. With it we give a transparent proof of Kamo's theorem that carries a normal ultrafilter with the partition property.

     

Whittaker models for , a -adic field

Let be a non-archimedean local field with odd residual characteristic. Let be the group We construct explicit Whittaker models for any supercuspidal representation of with positive level.

     

On the sum formula for the -analogue of non-strict multiple zeta values

In this article, the -analogues of the linear relations of non-strict multiple zeta values called ``the sum formula' and ``the cyclic sum formula' are established.

     

A hereditarily subspace of without the Schur property

Let p_1 > p_2 > \cdots > 1$">. We construct an easily determined -symmetric basic sequence in , which spans a hereditarily subspace without the Schur property. An immediate consequence is the existence of hereditarily subspaces of without the Schur property.

     

The universal central extension of the three-point loop algebra

We consider the three-point loop algebra,

where denotes a field of characteristic 0 and is an indeterminate. The universal central extension of was determined by Bremner. In this note, we give a presentation for via generators and relations, which highlights a certain symmetry over the alternating group . To obtain our presentation of , we use the realization of as the tetrahedron Lie algebra.

     

Cofinality changes required for a large set of unapproachable ordinals below

In , assume that is a strong limit cardinal and . Let be the set of approachable ordinals less than . An open question of M. Foreman is whether can be non-stationary in some and preserving extension of . It is shown here that if is such an outer model, then is infinite, for each positive integer .

     

A reduction theorem for the topological degree for mappings of class

The reduction theorem for the Leray-Schauder degree provides an efficient tool to calculate the value of the degree in a suitable invariant subspace. We shall prove how the calculation of the value of the topological degree for a mapping of class from a real separable reflexive Banach space into the dual space can be reduced into the calculation of degree of mapping from a closed subspace into Since the Leray-Schauder mappings are acting from to and we are dealing with mappings from to the standard `invariant subspace' condition must be replaced by a less obvious one.
