On the asymptotic convergence of sequences of analytic functions

We consider sequences {f _n } of analytic self mappings of a domain and the associated sequence {Θ _n } of inner compositions given by . The case of interest in this paper concerns sequences {f _n } that converge assymptotically to a function f, in the sense that for any sequence of integers {n _k } with n ₁ < n ₂ < ... one has that locally uniformly in Ω. Most of the discussion concerns the case where the asymptotic limit f is the identity function in Ω. Received: 16 December 2006

INJECTIVE MAPS ON PRIMITIVE SEQUENCES OVER Z/（p^e）

Let Z/(pe) be the integer residue ring modulo pe with p an odd prime and integer e ≥ 3. For a sequence (a) over Z/(pe), there is a unique p-adic decomposition (a) = (a)0 (a)1·p … (a)e-1 ·pe-1, where each (a)i can be regarded as a sequence over Z/(p), 0 ≤ i ≤ e - 1. Let f(x) be a primitive polynomial over Z/(pe) and G' (f(x), pe) the set of all primitive sequences generated by f(x) over Z/(pe). For μ(x) ∈ Z/(p)[x] with deg(μ(x)) ≥ 2 and gcd(1 deg(μ(x)),p- 1) = 1,set ψe-1 (x0, x1,…, xe-1) = xe-1·[ μ(xe-2) ηe-3 (x0, x1,…, xe-3)] ηe-2 (x0, x1,…, xe-2),which is a function of e variables over Z/(p). Then the compressing map ψe-1: G'(f(x),pe) → (Z/(p))∞,(a) (→)ψe-1((a)0, (a)1,… ,(a)e-1) is injective. That is, for (a), (b) ∈ G' (f(x), pe), (a) = (b) if and only if ψe - 1 ((a)0, (a)1,… , (a)e - 1) =ψe - 1 ((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1). As for the case of e = 2, similar result is also given. Furthermore, if functions ψe-1 and ψe-1 over Z/(p) are both of the above form and satisfy ψe-1((a)0,(a)1,… ,(a)e-1) = ψe-1((b)0,(b)1,… ,(b)e-1) for (a),(b) ∈ G'(f(x),pe), the relations between (a) and (b), ψe-1 and ψe-1 are discussed.     

Operator Matrices: SVEP and Weyl’s Theorem

It is known that if and are Banach space operators with the single-valued extension property, SVEP, then the matrix operator has SVEP for every operator and hence obeys Browder’s theorem. This paper considers conditions on operators A, B, and M₀ ensuring Weyls theorem for operators M_C.

Results on Local Times of a Class of Multiparameter Gaussian Processes

In this paper, we introduce a class of Gaussian processes Y={Y（t）：t∈R^N},the so called hifractional Brownian motion with the indcxes H=（H1,…,HN）and α. We consider the （N, d, H, α） Gaussian random field x（t） = （x1 （t）,..., xd（t））,where X1 （t）,…, Xd（t） are independent copies of Y（t）, At first we show the existence and join continuity of the local times of X = {X（t）, t ∈ R＋^N}, then we consider the HSlder conditions for the local times.

On the local Artin conductor f<Subscript>Artin</Subscript> (Χ) of a character Χ of Gal(E/K) — II: Main results for the metabelian case

This paper which is a continuation of [2], is essentially expository in nature, although some new results are presented. LetK be a local field with finite residue class fieldK _k. We first define (cf. Definition 2.4) the conductorf(E/K) of an arbitrary finite Galois extensionE/K in the sense of non-abelian local class field theory as wheren _G is the break in the upper ramification filtration ofG = Gal(E/K) defined by . Next, we study the basic properties of the idealf(E/K) inO _k in caseE/K is a metabelian extension utilizing Koch-de Shalit metabelian local class field theory (cf. [8]). After reviewing the Artin charactera _G : G → ℂ ofG := Gal(E/K) and Artin representationsA _g G → G →GL(V) corresponding toa _G : G → ℂ, we prove that (Proposition 3.2 and Corollary 3.5) where Χ_gr : G → ℂ is the character associated to an irreducible representation ρ: G → GL(V) ofG (over ℂ). The first main result (Theorem 1.2) of the paper states that, if in particular,ρ : G → GL(V) is an irreducible representation ofG(over ℂ) with metabelian image, then where Gal(E^ker(ρ)/E^ker(ρ)•) is any maximal abelian normal subgroup of Gal(E^ker(ρ)/K) containing Gal(E^ker(ρ) /K)′, and the break n_G/ker(ρ) in the upper ramification filtration of G/ker(ρ) can be computed and located by metabelian local class field theory. The proof utilizes Basmaji’s theory on the structure of irreducible faithful representations of finite metabelian groups (cf. [1]) and on metabelian local class field theory (cf. [8]). We then discuss the application of Theorem 1.2 on a problem posed by Weil on the construction of a ‘natural’A _G ofG over ℂ (Problem 1.3). More precisely, we prove in Theorem 1.4 that ifE/K is a metabelian extension with Galois group G, then Kazim İlhan ikeda whereN runs over all normal subgroups of G, and for such anN, V _n denotes the collection of all ∼-equivalence classes [ω]∼, where ‘∼’ denotes the equivalence relation on the set of all representations ω : (G/N)^• → ℂ^Χ satisfying the conditions Inert(ω) = {δ ∈ G/N : ℂ_δ} = ω =(G/N) and where δ runs over R((G/N)^•/(G/N)), a fixed given complete system of representatives of (G/N)^•/(G/N), by declaring that ω₁ ∼ ω₂ if and only if ω₁ = ω _2,δ for some δ ∈ R((G/N)^•/(G/N)). Finally, we conclude our paper with certain remarks on Problem 1.1 and Problem 1.3.     

On zero-sum sequences of prescribed length

Summary. Let k ≥ 1 be any integer. Let G be a finite abelian group of exponent n. Let s_k(G) be the smallest positive integer t such that every sequence S in G of length at least t has a zero-sum subsequence of length kn. We study this constant for groups when d = 3 or 4. In particular, we prove, as a main result, that for every k ≥ 4, and for every prime p ≥ 5.

Inclusion-exclusion inequalities

Ifμ is a positive measure, andA ₂, ...,A _n are measurable sets, the sequencesS ₀, ...,S _n andP _[0], ...,P _[n] are related by the inclusion-exclusion equalities. Inequalities among theS _i are based on the obviousP _[k]≧0. Letting =the average average measure of the intersection ofk of the setsA _i , it is shown that (−1) ^k Δ ^k M _i ≧0 fori+k≦n. The casek=1 yields Fréchet’s inequalities, andk=2 yields Gumbel’s and K. L. Chung’s inequalities. Generalizations are given involvingk-th order divided differences. Using convexity arguments, it is shown that forS ₀=1, whenS ₁≧N−1, and for 1≦k<N≦n andv=0, 1, .... Asymptotic results asn → ∞ are obtained. In particular it is shown that for fixedN, for all sequencesM ₀, ...,M _n of sufficiently large length if and only if for 0<t<1.

This fact is deduced from results about equivariantD-modules supported on the nilpotent cone of .
