An Application of U(g)-bimodules to Representation Theory of Affine Lie Algebras

Let be the affine Lie algebra associated to the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra . We consider the tensor product of the loop -module associated to the irreducible finite-dimensional -module V() and the irreducible highest weight -module L _k,. Then L _k, can be viewed as an irreducible module for the vertex operator algebra M _k,0. Let A(L _k,) be the corresponding -bimodule. We prove that if the -module is zero, then the -module is irreducible. As an example, we apply this result on integrable representations for affine Lie algebras.

On the Lipschitz Constant for a Nonisometric Bi-Lipschitz Transformation of a Cantor Set

A bi-Lipschitz continuous mapping of a space X is a bijection such that , where . We write if f is a Lipschitz (bi-Lipschitz) mapping of X into itself and denote by the set of all bi-Lipschitz mappings of X that are not isometry. Thus, if and blip . For X we consider a standard Cantor set K on the real line (with standard metric). The main result of this paper is formulated as follows: where Bibliography: 2 titles.

Interpolation by Rational Functions with Nodes on the Unit Circle

From the Erds–Turán theorem, it is known that if f is a continuous function on and L _n (f, z) denotes the unique Laurent polynomial interpolating f at the (2 n + 1)th roots of unity, then Several years later, Walsh and Sharma produced similar result but taking into consideration a function analytic in and continuous on and making use of algebraic interpolating polynomials in the roots of unity.In this paper, the above results will be generalized in two directions. On the one hand, more general rational functions than polynomials or Laurent polynomials will be used as interpolants and, on the other hand, the interpolation points will be zeros of certain para-orthogonal functions with respect to a given measure on .

In particular, for some constructions the rings R _B and will be isomorphic and therefore have the same algebraic properties.

On Uniformly Locally Compact Quasi-Uniform Hyperspaces

We characterize those Tychonoff quasi-uniform spaces for which the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity is uniformly locally compact on the family of nonempty compact subsets of X. We deduce, among other results, that the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity of the locally finite quasi-uniformity of a Tychonoff space Xis uniformly locally compact on if and only if Xis paracompact and locally compact. We also introduce the notion of a co-uniformly locally compact quasi-uniform space and show that a Hausdorff topological space is -compact if and only if its (lower) semi-continuous quasi-uniformity is co-uniformly locally compact. A characterization of those Hausdorff quasi-uniform spaces for which the Hausdorff-Bourbaki quasi-uniformity is co-uniformly locally compact on is obtained.

Efficient Estimation in a Semiparametric Autoregressive Model

This paper constructs efficient estimates of the parameter in the semiparametric auto-regression model ,with a smooth function and independent and identically distributed innovations _t with zero means and finite variances. This will be done under the assumptions that and that the errors have a density with finite Fisher information for location. The former condition guarantees that the process can be chosen to be stationary and ergodic.     

Light paths with an odd number of vertices in polyhedral maps

Let P _k be a path on k vertices. In an earlier paper we have proved that each polyhedral map G on any compact 2-manifold with Euler characteristic contains a path P _k such that each vertex of this path has, in G, degree . Moreover, this bound is attained for k = 1 or k 2, k even. In this paper we prove that for each odd , this bound is the best possible on infinitely many compact 2-manifolds, but on infinitely many other compact 2-manifolds the upper bound can be lowered to .
