Embedding graphs with bounded degree in sparse pseudorandom graphs

In this paper, we show the equivalence of somequasi-random properties for sparse graphs, that is, graphsG with edge densityp=|E(G)|/( ₂ ⁿ )=o(1), whereo(1)→0 asn=|V(G)|→∞. Our main result (Theorem 16) is the following embedding result. For a graphJ, writeN _J(x) for the neighborhood of the vertexx inJ, and letδ(J) andΔ(J) be the minimum and the maximum degree inJ. LetH be atriangle-free graph and setd _H=max{δ(J):J⊆H}. Moreover, putD _H=min{2d _H,Δ(H)}. LetC>1 be a fixed constant and supposep=p(n)≫n ⁻¹ D _H. We show that ifG is such that

Beurling's theorem and invariant subspaces for the shift on Hardy spaces

Let G be a bounded open subset in the complex plane and let H~2(G) denote the Hardy space on G. We call a bounded simply connected domain W perfectly connected if the boundary value function of the inverse of the Riemann map from W onto the unit disk D is almost 1-1 with respect to the Lebesgue measure on D and if the Riemann map belongs to the weak-star closure of the polynomials in H~∞(W). Our main theorem states: in order that for each M∈Lat (M_z), there exist u∈H~∞(G) such that M=∨{uH~2(G)}, it is necessary and sufficient that the following hold: (1) each component of G is a perfectly connected domain; (2) the harmonic measures of the components of G are mutually singular; (3) the set of polynomials is weak-star dense in H~∞(G). Moreover, if G satisfies these conditions, then every M∈Lat (M_z) is of the form uH~2(G), where u∈H~∞(G) and the restriction of u to each of the components of G is either an inner function or zero.     

K-spaces property of product spaces

LetK be a class of spaces which are eigher a pseudo-opens-image of a metric space or ak-space having a compact-countable closedk-network. LetK′ be a class of spaces which are either a Fréchet space with a point-countablek-network or a point-G _δ k-space having a compact-countablek-network. In this paper, we obtain some sufficient and necessary conditions that the products of finitely or countably many spaces in the classK orK′ are ak-space. The main results are that

Total Domination in Partitioned Graphs

We present results on total domination in a partitioned graph G = (V, E). Let γ _t (G) denote the total dominating number of G. For a partition , k ≥ 2, of V, let γ _t (G; V _i ) be the cardinality of a smallest subset of V such that every vertex of V _i has a neighbour in it and define the following

On the order of certain close to regular graphs without a matching of given size

A graph G is a {d, d+k}-graph, if one vertex has degree d+k and the remaining vertices of G have degree d. In the special case of k = 0, the graph G is d-regular. Let k, p ⩾ 0 and d, n ⩾ 1 be integers such that n and p are of the same parity. If G is a connected {d, d+k{-graph of order n without a matching M of size 2|M| = n − p, then we show in this paper the following: If d = 2, then k ⩾ 2(p + 2) and

Observable actions of algebraic groups

Let G be an affine algebraic group and let X be an affine algebraic variety. An action G × X → X is called observable if for any G-invariant, proper, closed subset Y of X there is a nonzero invariant f ∈ \Bbbk\Bbbk [X] ^G such that f| _Y = 0. We characterize this condition geometrically as follows. The action G × X → X is observable if and only if:

The star unfolding of a convex polytope with respect to a pointx on its surface is obtained by cutting the surface along the shortest paths fromx to every vertex, and flattening the surface on the plane. We establish two main properties of the star unfolding:

On solubility and supersolubility of some classes of finite groups

Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. Then H is said to be S-permutable in G if HP = PH for all Sylow subgroups P of G. Let HsG be the subgroup of H generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-permutable in G. Then we say that H is S-embedded in G if G has a normal subgroup T and an S-permutable subgroup C such that T ∩ H HsG and HT = C. Our main result is the following Theorem A. A group G is supersoluble if and only if for every non-cyclic Sylow subgroup P of the generalized Fitting subgrou...
