Quadratic equations over finite fields and class numbers of real quadratic fields

Letp be an odd prime and the finite field withp elements. In the present paper we shall investigate the number of points of certain quadratic hypersurfaces in the vector space and derive explicit formulas for them. In addition, we shall show that the class number of the real quadratic field (wherep1 (mod 4)) over the field of rational numbers can be expressed by means of these formulas.     

The Spectrum of Lévy Constants for Quadratic Irrationalities and Class Numbers of Real Quadratic Fields

Let h(d) be the class number of the field and let be the Lévy constant. A connection between these constants is studied. It is proved that if d is large, then the value h(d) increases, roughly speaking, at the rate as grows. A similar result is obtained in the case where the value is close to , i.e., to the least possible value. In addition, it is shown that the interval contains no values of for prime p such that p 3 (mod 4). As a corollary, a new criterion for the equality h(d)=1 is obtained. Bibliography: 14 titles.     

Optimal Subcodes of Second Order Reed-Muller Codes andMaximal Linear Spaces of Bivectors of Maximal Rank

A remark on H1 mappings

With , we here construct, for each positive integer N, a smooth function of degree zero so that there must be at least N singular points for any map that minimizes the energy in the family . The infimum of over U(g) is strictly smaller than the infimum of over the continuous functions in U(g). There are some generalizations to higher dimensions.Research partially supported by the National Science FoundationResearch supported by an Alfred P. Sloan Graduate Fellowship

Transvection free groups and invariants of polynomial tensor exterior algebras

Let :GGl(n, ) be a representation of a finite groupG over a field such that the ring of invariants is a polynomial algebra . It is known that in the nonmodular case (i.e., when the order of the group is not divisible by the characteristic of ), the invariants ofG acting on the tensor product of a polynomial and an exterior algebra are given by ,d denoting the exterior derivative. We show that in the modular case, the ring of invariants in is of this form if and only if is a polynomial algebra and all pseudoreflections in (G) are diagonalizable.     

Bemerkungen zur Deformationstheorie nichtrationaler Singularitäten

Let be a 1-convex holomorphic mapping between complex spaces resp.S, and let be the blowingdown factorization of over S. We prove in part 1 of the present note: The fiber ^–1(s₀) over a point s₀S is the Remmert quotient of if and only if every holomorphic function on (defined in a neighborhood of the exceptional subvariety of that fiber) can be extended holomorphically to . This is true, for instance, in the case: flat, S reduced at s₀ and dim , =const for all sS. In part 2, we use this result to obtain the following: For any Riemann surface R with genus g2 there exists a 2-dimensional normal complex analytic singularity X such that the minimal resolution of X contains R as exceptional subvariety, and has a deformation over the unit disc S={|s|<1} which can not be blown down to a deformation of X.

Sub-weakly Embedded Singular and Degenerate Polar Spaces

We show that every sub-weak embedding of any singular (degenerate or not) orthogonal or unitary polar space of non-singular rank at least 3 in a projective space PG , a commutative field, is the projection of a full embedding in some subspace PG of PG , where PG contains PG and is a subfield of . The same result is proved in the symplectic case under the assumption that the field over which the polarity is defined is perfect if the characteristic is 2 and if each secant line of the embedded polar space contains exactly two points of . This completes the classification of all sub-weak embeddings of orthogonal, symplectic and unitary polar spaces (singular or not; degenerate or not) of non-singular rank at least 3 and defined over a commutative field , where in the characteristic 2 case is perfect if the polar space is symplectic and the degree of the embedding is 2.     

Some aspects of topological descent

The paper deals with (effective) descent morphisms for subfibrations X of the basic fibration Top/X, for topological spaces X and classes of continuous functions stable under pullback. For a category with pullbacks, we prove the stability under pullback of effective -descent morphisms for a class satisfying some suitable conditions. This plays a rôle in relating effective -descent to effective global-descent and enables us to obtain a criterion for effective étale-descent. We also show that the inclusion of the class of effective global-descent maps in the class surjective effective étale-descent is strict.Partial financial support by Centro de Matemática da Universidade de Coimbra is gratefully acknowledged.     

Sechzehndimensionale lokalkompakte Translationsebenen,deren Kollineationsgruppe G2 enthält

New results of Salzmann and Hubig say that a 16-dimensional (locally) compact topological projective plane in which the group of continuous collineations has dimension 40 is a translation plane. It is therefore important to determine all 16-dimensional locally compact translation planes with dim 40. From previous work of the author ([10]), it is known that such a plane is either the classical octonion plane, or dim =40 and contains a subgroup isomorphic to the compact exceptional group G₂, but no larger compact simple subgroup. In the present paper, all planes satisfying the latter property more generally with dim 38 are explicitly determined. Together with the classification of all 16-dimensional locally compact translation planes in which contains Spin(7) given by the author in [8], one thus knows all 16-dimensional locally compact translation planes with containing G₂ and dim 38. Via suitable Baer subplanes, the classification makes use of analogous results for 8-dimensional planes ([7]).

On posets with isomorphic interval posets

Let be a partially ordered set, Int the system of all (nonempty) intervals of partially ordered by the set-theoretical inclusion . We are interested in partially ordered sets with Int isomorphic to Int . We are going to show that they correspond to couples of binary relations on A satisfying some conditions. If is a directed partially ordered set, the only with Int isomorphic to Int are corresponding to direct decompositions of ( denotes the dual of . The present results include those presented in the paper [11] by V. Slavík. Systems of intervals, particularly of lattices, have been investigated by many authors, cf. [1]–[11].     

Tissus linéaires et théorèmes d'algébrisation de type Abdel-inverse et Reiss-inverse

A d-web in ( ,0) is given by d complex analytic foliations of codimension one in ( ,0) which are in general position. A d-web in ( ,0) is linear if all the leaves are (pieces of) hyperplanes in and is algebraic if it is associated, by duality, to a nondegenerate algebraic curve in of degree d. We characterize linear webs in ( ,0). We give explicit conditions under which a linear d-web in ( ,0) is algebraic and we obtain equations for in this case. Some related problems are discussed and some questions are posed.

Common invariant subspaces for collections of operators

Let be a collection of bounded operators on a Banach spaceX of dimension at least two. We say that is finitely quasinilpotent at a vectorx ₀X whenever for any finite subset of the joint spectral radius of atx ₀ is equal 0. If such collection contains a non-zero compact operator, then and its commutant have a common non-trivial invariant, subspace. If in addition, is a collection of positive operators on a Banach lattice, then has a common non-trivial closed ideal. This result and a recent remarkable theorem of Turovskii imply the following extension of the famous result of de Pagter to semigroups. Let be a multiplicative semigroup of quasinilpotent compact positive operators on a Banach lattice of dimension at least two. Then has a common non-trivial invariant closed ideal.This work was supported by the Research Ministry of Slovenia.     

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
