Relative boundedness and relative compactness for linear operators in Banach spaces

If and are linear operators acting between Banach spaces, we show that compactness of relative to does not in general imply that has -bound zero. We do, however, give conditions under which the above implication is valid.

The Hochschild cohomology ring of a cyclic block

Suppose is a block of a group algebra with cyclic defect group. We calculate the Hochschild cohomology ring of , giving a complete set of generators and relations. We then show that if is the principal block, the canonical map from to the Hochschild cohomology ring of induces an isomorphism modulo radicals.     

Class numbers of imaginary abelian number fields

Let be an imaginary abelian number field. We know that , the relative class number of , goes to infinity as , the conductor of , approaches infinity, so that there are only finitely many imaginary abelian number fields with given relative class number. First of all, we have found all imaginary abelian number fields with relative class number one: there are exactly 302 such fields. It is known that there are only finitely many CM-fields with cyclic ideal class groups of 2-power orders such that the complex conjugation is the square of some automorphism of . Second, we have proved in this paper that there are exactly 48 such fields.

     

A note on -bases of rings

Let be a tower of rings of characteristic . Suppose that is a finitely presented -module. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of -bases of over .

Then, applying the above result to a tower of rings, we shall show that a polynomial of minimal degree in is a -basis of over .

     

Pyramidal vectors and smooth functions on Banach spaces

We prove that if , are Banach spaces such that has nontrivial cotype and has trivial cotype, then smooth functions from into have a kind of ``harmonic" behaviour. More precisely, we show that if is a bounded open subset of and is -smooth with uniformly continuous Fréchet derivative, then is dense in . We also give a short proof of a recent result of P. Hájek.

Fixed point and selection theorems in hyperconvex spaces

It is shown that a set-valued mapping of a hyperconvex metric space which takes values in the space of nonempty externally hyperconvex subsets of always has a lipschitzian single valued selection which satisfies for all . (Here denotes the usual Hausdorff distance.) This fact is used to show that the space of all bounded -lipschitzian self-mappings of is itself hyperconvex. Several related results are also obtained.

     

A remark on a theorem of J. Tits

Let be a rank two Chevalley group and be the corresponding Moufang polygon. J. Tits proved that is the universal completion of the amalgam formed by three subgroups of : the stabilizer of a point of , the stabilizer of a line incident with , and the stabilizer of an apartment passing through and . We prove a slightly stronger result, in which the exact structure of is not required. Our result can be used in conjunction with the ``weak -pair" theorem of Delgado and Stellmacher in order to identify subgroups of finite groups generated by minimal parabolics.

     

Connected sums of manifolds which induce approximate fibrations

Codimension-2 fibrators are -manifolds which automatically induce approximate fibration, in the following sense: given any proper mapping from an -manifold onto a -manifold such that each point-preimage is a copy of the codimension-2 fibrator, is necessarily an approximate fibration. In this paper, we give some answers to the following question: given an -manifold which is a nontrivial connected sum, when is a codimension-2 fibrator?
