On the rate for uniform strong consistency of empirical distributions of independent nonidentically distributed multivariate random variables

Let X_j = (X_1j ,…, X_pj), j = 1,…, n be n independent random vectors. For x = (x₁ ,…, x_p) in R^p and for α in [0, 1], let F_j${}^1$(x) = αI(X_1j < x₁ ,…, X_pj < x_p) + (1 ? α) I(X_1j ≤ x₁ ,…, X_pj ≤ x_p), where I(A) is the indicator random variable of the event A. Let F_j(x) = E(F_j${}^1$(x)) and D_n = sup_{x, α} max_{1 ≤ N ≤ n} |Σ₀ⁿ(F_j${}^1$(x) ? F_j(x))|. It is shown that P[D_n ≥ L] < 4pL exp{?2(L²n^?1 ? 1)} for each positive integer n and for all L² ≥ n; and, as n → ∞, $\text{D}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{= 0((n}\text{log}\text{n)}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ with probability one.     

Extensions of the well-poised and elliptic well-poised Bailey lemma

We establish a number of extensions of the well-poised Bailey lemma and elliptic well-poised Bailey lemma. As application we prove some new transformation formulae for basic and elliptic hyper-geometric series, and embed some recent identities of Andrews, Berkovich and Spiridonov in a well-poised Bailey tree.     

Verschiebung and Frobenius operators

Metropolis and Rota introduced the concept of the necklace ring Nr(A) of a commutative ringA. WhenA contains Q as a subring there is a natural bijection γ:Nr(A→1+tA[]. Grothendieck has introduced a ring structure on 1+tA[t] while studyingK-theoretic Chern classes. Nr(A) comes equipped with two families of operatorsF _r,V _r called the Frobenius and Verschiebung operators. Mathematicians studying formal group laws have introduced two families of operators,F _r, andV _r on 1+tA[t]. Metropolis and Rota have not however tried to show that γ preserves, these operators. They transport the operators from Nr(A) to 1+tA[t] using γ. In our present paper we show that γ does preserve all these operators. Part of this work was done while the author was visiting the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Madras.

Abel's lemma on summation by parts and basic hypergeometric series

Basic hypergeometric series identities are revisited systematically by means of Abel's lemma on summation by parts. Several new formulae and transformations are also established. The author is convinced that Abel's lemma on summation by parts is a natural choice in dealing with basic hypergeometric series.

Steinitz classes of tamely ramified Galois extensions of algebraic number fields

The Steinitz class of a number field extension K/k is an ideal class in the ring of integers Ok of k, which, together with the degree [K:k] of the extension determines the Ok-module structure of OK. We call Rt(k,G) the set of classes which are Steinitz classes of a tamely ramified G-extension of k. We will say that those classes are realizable for the group G; it is conjectured that the set of realizable classes is always a group. We define A^′-groups inductively, starting with abelian groups and then considering semidirect products of A^′-groups with abelian groups of relatively prime order and direct products of two A^′-groups. Our main result is that the conjecture about realizable Steinitz classes for tame extensions is true for A^′-groups of odd order; this covers many cases not previously known. Further we use the same techniques to determine Rt(k,Dn) for any odd integer n. In contrast with many other papers on the subject, we systematically use class field theory (instead of Kummer theory and cyclotomic descent).     

On the structure of certain valued fields

In this article, we study the structure of finitely ramified mixed characteristic valued fields. For any two complete discrete valued fields $K_1$ and $K_2$ of mixed characteristic with perfect residue fields, we show that if the n-th residue rings are isomorphic for each $n\ge 1$, then $K_1$ and $K_2$ are isometric and isomorphic. More generally, for $n_1\ge 1$, there is $n_2$ depending only on the ramification indices of $K_1$ and $K_2$ such that any homomorphism from the $n_1$-th residue ring of $K_1$ to the $n_2$-th residue ring of $K_2$ can be lifted to a homomorphism between the valuation rings. Moreover, we get a functor from the category of certain principal Artinian local rings of length n to the category of certain complete discrete valuation rings of mixed characteristic with perfect residue fields, which naturally generalizes the functorial property of unramified complete discrete valuation rings. Our lifting result improves Basarab's relative completeness theorem for finitely ramified henselian valued fields, which solves a question posed by Basarab, in the case of perfect residue fields.     

A Covering Lemma on the Unit Sphere and Application to the Fourier-Laplace Convergence

A covering lemma on the unit sphere is established and then is applied to establish an almost everywhere convergence test of Marcinkiewicz type for the Fourier-Laplace series on the unit sphere which can be stated as follows： Theorem Suppose f ∈ L（En-1）, n≥ 3. If f satisfies the condition 1/θ^n-1∫D（x,θ）｜f（y）-f（x）｜dy=O（1/｜logθ｜）,as θ→0＋, at every point x in a set E of positive measure in Σn-1, then the Cesàro means of critical order ,n-2/2 of the Fourier-Laplace series of f converge to f at almost every point x in E.     

Relative integral bases over a Hilbert class field

Let K be a number field, H its Hilbert class field and L a Galois extension of K containing H. In this paper, we prove that L|H has a relative integral basis (RIB) if the order of G=Gal(L|H) is odd or if the 2-Sylow subgroups of G are not cyclic. If the order of G is even and the 2-Sylow subgroups are cyclic we reduce the problem of the existence of a RIB to a quadratic extension of H.     

Abel’s lemma on summation by parts and partial <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-series transformations

The partial sums of basic hypergeometric series are investigated by means of the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts. Several transformation and summation formulae for well-poised, quadratic, cubic and quartic q-series are established. This work was partially supported by National Natural Science Foundation for the Youth (Grant No. 10801026)

On Combinatorial Papers of König and Steinitz

The graph-theoretical theorem of D. König on the existence of a 1-factor in a regular bipartite graph of 1914 was already proved 20 years earlier in the dissertation of E. Steinitz in Breslau (1894) in the language of configurations.
