A characterization of truncated projective geometries as flag-transitive PG *.PG-geometries

We prove that every flag-transitive locally finite (PG ^*.PG)-geometry is a truncated projective geometry. Dedicated to Daniel Hughes on the occasion of his 80th birthday.     

Maximal 2-Local Geometries for the Symmetric Groups

Abstract

The set 𝒩_max (G, T) consisting of all maximal 2-local subgroups of G = Sym(n) which contain T, a Sylow 2-subgroup of G, is investigated. In addition to determining the structure of the subgroups in 𝒩_max (G, T), the simplicial sets of maximal rank are classified.     

On the Classification of Flag-Transitive c.c*- Geometries

Let ( G) be a flag-transitive c.c*-geometry whose point-stabilizer is not an affine group. We list all known examples and show that, if (, G) is a minimal unknown example, then G is an almost simple group and the commutator subgroup G is a simple group of Lie type.     

A rank-three condition for invariant (1, 2)-symplectic almost Hermitian structures on flag manifolds

This paper considers invariant (1, 2)-symplectic almost Hermitian structures on the maximal flag manifod associated to a complex semi-simple Lie group G. The concept of cone-free invariant almost complex structure is introduced. It involves the rank-three subgroups of G, and generalizes the cone-free property for tournaments related to 𝕊l (n,ℂ) case. It is proved that the cone-free property is necessary for an invariant almost-complex structure to take part in an invariant (1, 2)-symplectic almost Hermitian structure. It is also sufficient if the Lie group is not B _l , l ≥ 3, G ₂ or F ₄. For B _l and F ₄ a close condition turns out to be sufficient. Received: 28 October 2001     

A New Cover of the 3-Local Geometry of Co1

The 3-local geometry of the sporadic simple group Co₁ has been known to have a cover with a flag-transitive automorphism group which is a nonsplit extension of an elementary Abelian 2-group of rank 24 (the Leech lattice modulo 2) by Co₁. It was conjectured that was simply connected. We disprove this conjecture by constructing a double cover of . The automorphism group of is of the shape . However, it is not isomorphic to the involution centralizer of the Monster sporadic simple group.     

Geometries of the Group PSL(2,11)

We determine all residually weakly primitive flag-transitive geometries for the groups PSL(2,11) and PGL(2,11). For the first of these we prove the existence by simple constructions while uniqueness, namely the fact that the lists are complete, relies on MAGMA programs. A central role is played by the subgroups Alt(5) in PSL(2,11). The highest rank of a geometry in our lists is four. Our work is related to various atlases of coset geometries.     

A geometric proof of the combinatorial bounds for the number of optimal solutions for the Euclidean 2-center problem

We provide lower and upper bounds for γ(n), the number of optimal solutions for the two-center problem: “Given a set S of n points in the real plane, find two closed discs whose union contains all of the points such that the radius of the larger disc is minimized.”The main result of the paper shows the matching upper and lower bounds for the two-center problem and demonstrates that γ(n)=n.     

可解群的$\cd(G)-1$个特征标次数构成的图

Let G be a group. We consider the set cd（G）／{m}, where m ∈ cd（G）. We define the graph △（G - m） whose vertex set is p（G - m）, the set of primes dividing degrees in cd（G）／{m}. There is an edge between p and q in p（G - m） ifpq divides a degree a ∈ cd（G）／{m}. We show that if G is solvable, then △（G - m） has at most two connected components.     

A Characterization of the smallest Suzuki 2-group

Let G be a finite nonabelian group which has no abelian maximal subgroups and satisfies that any two non-commutative elements generate a maximal subgroup. Then G is isomorphic to the smallest Suzuki 2-group of order 64.     

Deforming abelian SU(2)-representations of knot groups

The aim of this paper is to generalize a theorem of C. D. Frohman and E. P. Klassen ([FK91]) concerning deformations of abelian SU(2)-representations of knot groups into non-abelian representations. The proof of our main theorem makes use of a generalization of a result of X.-S. Lin ([Lin92]) which should be interesting in itself. Received: December 1, 1997     

A branch and reduce approach for solving a class of low rank d.c. programs

Various classes of d.c. programs have been studied in the recent literature due to their importance in applicative problems. In this paper we consider a branch and reduce approach for solving a class of d.c. problems. Seven partitioning rules are analyzed and some techniques aimed at improving the overall performance of the algorithm are proposed. The results of a computational experience are provided in order to point out the performance effectiveness of the proposed techniques.     

CLASSIFICATION OF PRIMITIVE （J1,2）-ARC TRANSITIVE GRAPHS

In the author＇s Ph. D thesis, a non-quasiprimitive graph admitting a quasiprimitive automorphism group isomorphic to J1 was constructed ,where J1 is Janko simple group of order 175560. Is this the only one for J1？ In this paper all primitive （J1,2）-arc transitive graphs Г are given and that AutГ≌J1 is proved.     

Noncommutative Chern Characters of Compact Lie Group C*-Algebras

For compact Lie groups, the Chern characters K^*(G) Q H^* _DR(G;Q) have been already constructed. In this paper, we construct and study the corresponding noncommutative Chern characters. They are homomorphisms ch_C*: K_*(C^*(G)) from quantum K-groups into entire current periodic cyclic homology groups of group C^*-algebras. We also obtain the corresponding algebraic version ch_alg: K_*(C^*(G)) HP_*(C^*(G)), which can be identified with the classical Chern character K_* (C(T)) HP_* (C(T)), where T is the maximal torus of G.     

A Method for Converting a Class of Univariate Functions into d.c. Functions

D.c. functions are functions that can be expressed as the sum of a concave function and a convex function (or as the difference of two convex functions). In this paper, we extend the class of univariate functions that can be represented as d.c. functions. This expanded class is very broad including a large number of nonlinear and/or nonsmooth univariate functions. In addition, the procedure specifies explicitly the functional and numerical forms of the concave and convex functions that comprise the d.c. representation of the univariate functions. The procedure is illustrated using two numerical examples. Extensions of the conversion procedure for discontinuous univariate functions is also discussed.     

The Canonical Basis for the Quantum Group of Type B2

We use the Ringel-Hall algebra approach to study the canonical basis elements for the quantum group of type B₂ which are characterized in Xi [12]. However, our approach simplifies several computations there.
