Monadic MV-algebras I: a study of subvarieties

In this paper, we study and classify some important subvarieties of the variety of monadic MV-algebras. We introduce the notion of width of a monadic MV-algebra and we prove that the equational class of monadic MV-algebras of finite width k is generated by the monadic MV-algebra [0, 1] ^k . We describe completely the lattice of subvarieties of the subvariety ${\mathcal{V}([{\bf 0}, {\bf 1}]^k)}$ generated by [0, 1] ^k . We prove that the subvariety generated by a subdirectly irreducible monadic MV-algebra of finite width depends on the order and rank of ?A, the partition associated to A of the set of coatoms of the boolean subalgebra B(A) of its complemented elements, and the width of the algebra. We also give an equational basis for each proper subvariety in ${\mathcal{V}([{\bf 0}, {\bf 1}]^k)}$ . Finally, we give some results about subvarieties of infinite width.     

Interpolation sets for subalgebras ofl ∞(Z)

LetU be the subalgegra ofl ^∞(Z) generated by the minimal functions. The collection ofU-interpolation sets is identified as the ideal of small subsets ofZ. General theorems about the relation between invariant ideals and collections ofA-interpolation sets, for subalgebrasA ofl ^∞, are proven.

MV-closures of Wajsberg hoops and applications

In this paper we construct, given a Wajsberg hoop A, an MV-algebra MV(A) such that the underlying set A of A is a maximal filter of MV(A) and the quotient MV(A)/A is the two element chain. As an application we provide a topological duality for locally finite Wajsberg hoops based on a previously known duality for locally finite MV-algebras. We also give another duality for k-valued Wajsberg hoops based on a different representation of k-valued MV-algebras and show the relation to the first duality. We also apply this construction to give a topological representation for free k-valued Wajsberg hoops.     

Topological change in mean convex mean curvature flow

Consider the mean curvature flow of an (n+1)-dimensional compact, mean convex region in Euclidean space (or, if n<7, in a Riemannian manifold). We prove that elements of the mth homotopy group of the complementary region can die only if there is a shrinking S ^k ×R ^n?k singularity for some k≤m. We also prove that for each m with 1≤m≤n, there is a nonempty open set of compact, mean convex regions K in R ⁿ⁺¹ with smooth boundary ?K for which the resulting mean curvature flow has a shrinking S ^m ×R ^n?m singularity.     

Følner sequences and Hilbert’s Irreducibility Theorem over Q

Letf(X; T ₁, ...,T _n) be an irreducible polynomial overQ. LetB be the set ofb teZ ⁿ such thatf(X;b) is of lesser degree or reducible overQ. Let ?={F _j}{F _j } _j?1 ^∞ be a Følner sequence inZ ⁿ — that is, a sequence of finite nonempty subsetsF _j ?Z ⁿ such that for eachvteZ ⁿ , $\mathop {lim}\limits_{j \to \infty } \frac{{\left| {F_j \cap (F_j + \upsilon )} \right|}}{{\left| {F_j } \right|}} = 1$ Suppose ? satisfies the extra condition that forW a properQ-subvariety ofP ⁿ ?A ⁿ and ?>0, there is a neighborhoodU ofW(R) in the real topology such that $\mathop {lim sup}\limits_{j \to \infty } \frac{{\left| {F_j \cap U} \right|}}{{\left| {F_j } \right|}}< \varepsilon $ whereZ ⁿ is identified withA ⁿ (Z). We prove $\mathop {lim}\limits_{j \to \infty } \frac{{\left| {F_j \cap B} \right|}}{{\left| {F_j } \right|}} = 0$ .     

Contraction mappings in interval analysis

Under certain conditions, the contraction mapping fixed point theorem guarantees the convergence of the iterationx _i+1=f(x _i ) toward a fixed point of the functionf:R ⁿ →R ⁿ. When an interval extensionF off is used in a similar iteration scheme to obtain a sequence of interval vectors these conditions need not provide convergence to a degenerate interval vector representing the fixed point, even if the width of the initial interval vector is chosen arbitrarily small. We give a sufficient condition on the extensionF in order that the convergence is guaranteed. The centered form of Moore satisfies this condition.

Difference Sets in {\mathbb{Z}}_4^m and {\mathbb{F}}_2^{2m}

Let R=GR(4,m) be the Galois ring of cardinality 4^m and let T be the Teichmüller system of R. For every map λ of T into { -1,+1} and for every permutation Π of T, we define a map φ _λ ^Π of Rinto { -1,+1} as follows: if x∈R and if x=a+2b is the 2-adic representation of x with x∈T and b∈T, then φ _λ ^Π (x)=λ(a)+2Tr(Π(a)b), where Tr is the trace function of R . For i=1 or i=-1, define D _i as the set of x in R such thatφ _λ ^Π =i. We prove the following results: 1) D _i is a Hadamard difference set of (R,+). 2) If φ is the Gray map of R into ${\mathbb{F}}_2^{2m}$ , then (D _i) is a difference set of ${\mathbb{F}}_2^{2m}$ . 3) The set of D _i and the set of φ(D _i) obtained for all maps λ and Π, both are one-to-one image of the set of binary Maiorana-McFarland difference sets in a simple way. We also prove that special multiplicative subgroups of R are difference sets of kind D _i in the additive group of R. Examples are given by means of morphisms and norm in R.     

Modules over group rings of solvable groups with rank restrictions on subgroups

Let A be an R G-module over a commutative ring R, where G is a group of infinite section p-rank (0-rank), C _G (A) = 1, A is not a Noetherian R-module, and the quotient A/C _A (H) is a Noetherian R-module for every proper subgroup H of infinite section p-rank (0-rank). We describe the structure of solvable groups G of this type.     

On the condensation points of the lagrange spectrum

For a positive integerN, L(N) denotes the set of Lagrange values of all sequences (a _k:k=0, ±1, ±2,…) of positive integers with lim sup _k ^ak=N. It is shown that for anyN≥3L(N) has infinitely many condensation points. Such points can be realized as Markov values of symmetric doubly periodic sequences whose period consists of a semi-symmetric tuple.     

Einbettung von topologischen Raumgeometrien auf R3 in den reellen affinen Raum

Betten [1] had defined topological spatial geometries on R ³: In R ³ a system L of closed subsets homeomorphic to R (the lines) and a system ? of closed subsets homeomorphic to R ² (the planes) are given such that through any two different points passes exactly one line and through any three non-collinear points passes exactly one plane. Furthermore, ? and ? carry topologies such that the operations of joining and intersection are continuous. It is proved that any topological spatial geometry on R ³ can be imbedded into R ³ as an open convex subset K such that the lines in ? (planes in ?) are mapped onto intersections of lines (planes) of R ³ with K. The collineation group of the geometry is isomorphic to the subgroup of the colineation group of real projective space consisting of the automorphisms that map K into itself. In particular, it is a Lie group of dimension ?12.     

Hankel operators on planar domains

Let Ω be a bounded domain in the plane whose boundary consists of a finite number of disjoint analytic simple closed curves LetA denote the space of analytic functions on Ω which are square integrable over Ω with respect to area measure and letP denote the orthogonal projection ofL ²(Ω,dA) ontoA. A functionb inA induces a Hankel operator (densely defined) onA by the ruleH _b (g)=(I?P)bg. This paper continues earlier investigations of the authors and others by determining conditions under whichH _b is bounded, compact, or lies in the Schatten-von Neumann idealS _p , 1<p<∞     

Inequalities for convex bodies and polar reciprocal lattices inR n II: Application ofK-convexity

The paper is a supplement to [2]. LetL be a lattice andU ano-symmetric convex body inR ⁿ . The Minkowski functional? ⁿ ofU, the polar bodyU ⁰, the dual latticeL ^*, the covering radius μ(L, U), and the successive minima λ _i ,i=1, …,n, are defined in the usual way. Let $\mathcal{L}_n $ be the family of all lattices inR ⁿ . Given a convex bodyU, we define $$\begin{gathered} mh(U){\text{ }} = {\text{ }}\sup {\text{ }}\max \lambda _i (L,U)\lambda _{n - i + 1} (L^* ,U^0 ), \hfill \\ {\text{ }}L \in \mathcal{L}_n 1 \leqslant i \leqslant n \hfill \\ lh(U){\text{ }} = {\text{ }}\sup {\text{ }}\lambda _1 (L,U) \cdot \mu (L^* ,U^0 ), \hfill \\ {\text{ }}L \in \mathcal{L}_n \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ and kh(U) is defined as the smallest positive numbers for which, given arbitrary $L \in \mathcal{L}_n $ andx∈R ⁿ /(L+U), somey∈L ^* with ∥y∥ _U ⁰?sd(xy,Z) can be found. It is proved $$C_1 n \leqslant jh(U) \leqslant C_2 nK(R_U^n ) \leqslant C_3 n(1 + \log n),$$ , for j=k, l, m, whereC ₁,C ₂,C ₃ are some numerical constants andK(R _U ⁿ ) is theK-convexity constant of the normed space (R ⁿ , ∥∥U). This is an essential strengthening of the bounds obtained in [2]. The bounds for lh(U) are then applied to improve the results of Kannan and Lovász [5] estimating the lattice width of a convex bodyU by the number of lattice points inU.     

A test for identities satisfied in lattices of submodules

SupposeR is ring with 1, andH?(R) denotes the variety of modular lattices generated by the class of lattices of submodules of allR-modules. An algorithm using Mal'cev conditions is given for constructing integersm≧0 andn≧1 from any given lattice polynomial inclusion formulad∈e. The main result is thatd∈e is satisfied in every lattice inH?(R) if and only if there existsx inR such that (m·1)x=n·1 inR, where 0·1=0 andk·1=1+1...+1 (k times) fork≧1. For example, this “divisibility” condition holds form=2 andn=1 if and only if 1+1 is an invertible element ofR, and it holds form=0 andn=12 if and only if the characteristic ofR divides 12. This result leads to a complete classification of the lattice varietiesH?(R),R a ring with 1. A set of representative rings is constructed, such that for each ringR there is a unique representative ringS satisfyingH?(R)=H?(R). There is exactly one representative ring with characteristick for eachk≧1, and there are continuously many representative rings with characteristic zero. IfR has nonzero characteristic, then all free lattices inH?(R) have recursively solvable word problems. A necessary and sufficient condition onR is given for all free lattices inH?(R) to have recursively solvable word problems, ifR is a ring with characteristic zero. All lattice varieties of the formH?(R) are self-dual. A varietyH?(R) is a congruence variety, that is, it is generated by the class of congruence lattices of all members of some variety of algebras. A family of continuously many congruence varieties related to the varietiesH?(R) is constructed.     

Embeddings into power series rings

Let T be an ordered ring without divisors of zero, and letA be the set of archimedean subgroups of T generated by a Banaschewski functionτ. Let_XΠ_Δ R be the power series ring of the real numbers ? over the totally ordered semigroup Δ of archimedean classes of T, and letχ be the usual Banaschewski function on_XΠ_Δ R. The following are equivalent:

1. τ satisfies the additional condition; for convex subgroups P,Q of T, where
2. There exists a one-to-one homomorphism Γ:T→_XΠ_Δ R of ordered rings such that for every convex subgroup Q of_XΠ_Δ R, there exists a convex subgroup P of T such that \(\Gamma (P) \subseteq Q\) and \(\Gamma (\tau (P)) \subseteq \chi (Q)\) .

     

Algebraic equations on the adèlic closure of a Drinfeld module

Let k be a field of positive characteristic and K = k(V) a function field of a variety V over k and let A _K be the ring of adèles of K with respect to the places on K corresponding to the divisors on V. Given a Drinfeld module $\Phi :\mathbb{F}[t] \to End_K (\mathbb{G}_a )$ over K and a positive integer g we regard both K ^g and A _K ^g as $\Phi \left( {\mathbb{F}_p [t]} \right)$ -modules under the diagonal action induced by Φ. For Γ ? K ^g a finitely generated $\Phi \left( {\mathbb{F}_p [t]} \right)$ -submodule and an affine subvariety $X \subseteq \mathbb{G}_a^g$ defined over K, we study the intersection of X(A _K ), the adèlic points of X, with $\bar \Gamma$ , the closure of Γ with respect to the adèlic topology, showing under various hypotheses that this intersection is no more than X(K) ∩ Γ.     

Torsion and Abelianization in Equivariant Cohomology

Let X be a topological space upon which a compact connected Lie group G acts. It is well known that the equivariant cohomology H ^* _G (X; Q) is isomorphic to the subalgebra of Weyl group invariants of the equivariant cohomology H ^* _T (X; Q), where T is a maximal torus of G. This relationship breaks down for coefficient rings k other than Q. Instead, we prove that under a mild condition on k the algebra H ^* _G (X; k) is isomorphic to the subalgebra of H ^* _T (X; k) annihilated by the divided difference operators.     

The Zygmund Morse-Sard Theorem

The classical Morse-Sard Theorem says that the set of critical values off:R ^n+k →R ⁿ has Lebesgue measure zero iff ∈C ^k+1. We show theC ^k+1 smoothness requirement can be weakened toC ^k+Zygmund. This is corollary to the following theorem: For integersn >m >r > 0, lets = (n ?r)/(m ?r); iff:R ⁿ →R ^m belongs to the Lipschitz class Λ _s andE is a set of rankr forf, thenf(E) has measure zero.     

CAT(0) 4-manifolds possessing a single tame point are Euclidean

The concepts of geometric and topological tame point are introduced for a space of nonpositive curvature. These concepts are applied to the characterization problem forCAT(0) 4-manifolds. It is shown that everyCAT(0)M ⁴ having a single (geometric or topological) tame point is homeomorphic toR ⁴. Davis and Januszkiewicz have recently constructedCAT(0)n-manifolds,M ⁿ withn ≥ 5 such that the set of tame points form a dense open subset ofM ⁿ , butM ⁿ ≠R ⁿ .
