A sufficient and necessary condition for the reducibility of the Verma modules over the twisted Yangians of rank one is given.     

Investigations of c-differential uniformity of permutations with Carlitz rank 3

The c-differential uniformity is recently proposed to reflect resistance against some variants of differential attack. Finding functions with low c-differential uniformity is attracting attention from many researchers. For even characteristic, it is known that permutations of low Carlitz rank have good cryptographic parameters, for example, low differential uniformity, high nonlinearity, etc. In this paper we show that permutations with low Carlitz rank have low c-differential uniformity. We also investigate c-differential uniformity of permutations with Carlitz rank 3 in detail.     

A remark on the monomial conjecture and Cohen-Macaulay canonical modules

In this paper, some sufficient conditions for rings and modules to satisfy the monomial conjecture are given. A characterization of Cohen-Macaulay canonical modules is presented.

     

Some results on finite Drinfeld modules

Let be a global function field, a degree one prime divisor of and let be the Dedekind domain of functions in regular outside . Let be the Hilbert class field of , the integral closure of in . Let be a rank one normalized Drinfeld -module and let be a prime ideal in . We explicitly determine the finite -module structure of . In particular, if , is an odd prime number and is the Carlitz -module, then the finite -module is always cyclic.

     

An Auslander-type result for Gorenstein-projective modules

An artin algebra A is said to be CM-finite if there are only finitely many, up to isomorphisms, indecomposable finitely generated Gorenstein-projective A-modules. We prove that for a Gorenstein artin algebra, it is CM-finite if and only if every its Gorenstein-projective module is a direct sum of finitely generated Gorenstein-projective modules. This is an analogue of Auslander's theorem on algebras of finite representation type [M. Auslander, A functorial approach to representation theory, in: Representations of Algebras, Workshop Notes of the Third Internat. Conference, in: Lecture Notes in Math., vol. 944, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1982, pp. 105-179; M. Auslander, Representation theory of artin algebras II, Comm. Algebra (1974) 269-310].     

Estimation of the order of a group generated by a twisted subset

We prove that a group generated by a twisted subset is finite and its order is bounded by some function depending only on the order of the twisted subset.     

On a class of semicommutative modules

Let R be a ring with identity, M a right R-module and S = End _R (M). In this note, we introduce S-semicommutative, S-Baer, S-q.-Baer and S-p.q.-Baer modules. We study the relations between these classes of modules. Also we prove if M is an S-semicommutative module, then M is an S-p.q.-Baer module if and only if M[x] is an S[x]-p.q.-Baer module, M is an S-Baer module if and only if M[x] is an S[x]-Baer module, M is an S-q.-Baer module if and only if M[x] is an S[x]-q.-Baer module.     

Degrees of high-dimensional subvarieties of determinantal varieties

Let , where is a prime, and . In , let be the variety defined by . We show that any subvariety of of codimension less than must have degree a multiple of . We also show that the bounds on the codimension in our results are strict by exhibiting subvarieties of the appropriate codimension whose degrees are prime to .

     

Hilbert modules over a class of semicrossed products

Given the disk algebra and an automorphism , there is associated a non-self-adjoint operator algebra called the semicrossed product of with . Buske and Peters showed that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the contractive Hilbert modules over and pairs of contractions and on satisfying . In this paper, we show that the orthogonally projective and Shilov Hilbert modules over correspond to pairs of isometries on satisfying . The problem of commutant lifting for is left open, but some related results are presented.     

Involutory decomposition of a group and twisted subsets with few involutions

A subset K of some group C is called twisted if 1 ∈ K and x, y ∈ K implies that xy ^?1 x belongs to K. We use the concept of twisted subset to investigate and generalize the concept of involutory decomposition of a group. A group is said to admit involutory decomposition if it contains some involution such that the group is the product of the centralizer of the involution and the set of elements inverted by the involution. We study the twisted subsets with at most one involution. We prove that if a twisted subset has no involutions at all then it generates a subgroup of odd order.     

Varieties and cohomology of infinitely generated modules

Suppose that k is a field of characteristic p and that G is a finite group having p-rank at least three. Given a regular sequence of length 2 in H*(G, k), we show how to construct an infinitely generated module whose support variety is strictly smaller than the small support of its cohomology.

Some remarks on a paper by L. Carlitz

We study a family of orthogonal polynomials which generalizes a sequence of polynomials considered by L. Carlitz. We show that they are a special case of the Sheffer polynomials and point out some interesting connections with certain Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.     

Tensor product of C-injective modules

The purpose of this paper is to calculate all the character tables of Hecke algebras associated with finite Chevalley groups of exceptional type and their maximal parabolic subgroups when they are commutative. In the case when the groups are of classical type, the character values of Hecke algebras are expressed by using the q-Krawtchouk polynomials and the q-Hahn polynomials (See [10] and [15]). On the other hand, the character tables of commutative Hecke algebras associated with exceptional Weyl groups and their maximal parabolic subgroups are given in [12]. In §1, we discuss the structure of Hecke algebras and in §2, we calculate all the character tables of these commutative Hecke algebras associated with finite Chevalley groups of exceptional type. Although some of them are well known, we include them for completeness
