Arithmetical properties of the number of t-core partitions

Let Λ={λ ₁≥⋅⋅⋅≥λ _s ≥1} be a partition of an integer n. Then the Ferrers-Young diagram of Λ is an array of nodes with λ _i nodes in the ith row. Let λ _j ′ denote the number of nodes in column j in the Ferrers-Young diagram of Λ. The hook number of the (i,j) node in the Ferrers-Young diagram of Λ is denoted by H(i,j):=λ _i +λ _j ′−i−j+1. A partition of n is called a t-core partition of n if none of the hook numbers is a multiple of t. The number of t-core partitions of n is denoted by a(t;n). In the present paper, some congruences and distribution properties of the number of 2 ^t -core partitions of n are obtained. A simple convolution identity for t-cores is also given.      

Derivations on a C1-algebra and its double dual

Let A be a C¹-algebra and X a Banach A-module. The module action of A on X gives rise to module actions of $\text{A}{}^7$ on $\text{X}{}^1$ and $\text{X}{}^7$, and derivations of A into X (resp. $\text{X}{}^1$) extend to derivations of $\text{A}{}^7$ into $\text{X}{}^7$ (resp. $\text{X}{}^1$). If A is nuclear, and X is a dual Banach A-module with $\text{X}{}^1$ weakly sequentially complete, then every derivation of A into X is inner. Under the same hypothesis on A, the extension to the finite part of $\text{A}{}^7$ of any derivation of A into any dual Banach A-module is inner, as are all derivations of A into $\text{A}{}^1$. Every derivation of a semifinite von Neumann algebra into its predual is inner.     

On the integral of mean curvature of a flattened convex body in space forms

Under the assumptions that E _λ ⁿ is an n-dimensional, simply connected Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature λ and L _λ ^r is an r-dimensional, totally geodesic submanifold of E _λ ⁿ , the paper investigates the q-th integral of the mean curvature M _q ⁿ of a convex body K ^r in E _λ ⁿ and gives the expression of M _q ⁿ in the terms of M _p ^r , where M _p ^r is the p-th integral of the mean curvature of K ^r > in L _λ ^r . A result of L. A. Santaló [2] holds in particular.     

A Polytope Related to Empirical Distributions, Plane Trees, Parking Functions, and the Associahedron

Abstract. The volume of the n -dimensional polytope Π _n (x):= {y ∈ R ⁿ : y _i ≥ 0 and y ₁ + · · · + y _i ≤ x ₁ + · · ·+ x _i for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n } for arbitrary x:=(x ₁ , . . ., x _n ) with x _i >0 for all i defines a polynomial in variables x _i which admits a number of interpretations, in terms of empirical distributions, plane partitions, and parking functions. We interpret the terms of this polynomial as the volumes of chambers in two different polytopal subdivisions of Π _n (x) . The first of these subdivisions generalizes to a class of polytopes called sections of order cones. In the second subdivision the chambers are indexed in a natural way by rooted binary trees with n+1 vertices, and the configuration of these chambers provides a representation of another polytope with many applications, the associahedron .     

Trace cocharacters and the Kronecker products of Schur functions

It follows from the theory of trace identities developed by Procesi and Razmyslov that the trace cocharacters arising from the trace identities of the algebra M_r(F) of r×r matrices over a field F of characteristic zero are given by TC_r,n=∑_λΛr(n)χ^λχ^λ where χ^λχ^λ denotes the Kronecker product of the irreducible characters of the symmetric group associated with the partition λ with itself and Λ_r(n) denotes the set of partitions of n with r or fewer parts, i.e. the set of partitions λ=(λ₁λ_k) with kr. We study the behavior of the sequence of trace cocharacters TC_r,n. In particular, we study the behavior of the coefficient of χ^(ν,n−m) in TC_r,n as a function of n where ν=(ν₁ν_k) is some fixed partition of m and n−mν_k. Our main result shows that such coefficients always grow as a polynomial in n of degree r−1.     

Inner Radius of Univalence for a Strongly Starlike Domain

 The inner radius of univalence of a domain D with Poincaré density ρ _D is the possible largest number σ such that the condition ∥ S _f ∥ _D  = sup _{w∈ D} ρ _D (w) ⁻²∥ S _f (z) ∥ ≤ σ implies univalence of f for a nonconstant meromorphic function f on D, where S _f is the Schwarzian derivative of f. In this note, we give a lower bound of the inner radius of univalence for strongly starlike domains of order α in terms of the order α.     

On the Theory of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>)-Banach Lattices

Given 1≤ p,q < ∞, let BL_pL_q be the class of all Banach lattices X such that X is isometrically lattice isomorphic to a band in some L_p(L_q)-Banach lattice. We show that the range of a positive contractive projection on any BL_pL_q-Banach lattice is itself in BL_pL_q. It is a consequence of this theorem and previous results that BL_pL_q is first-order axiomatizable in the language of Banach lattices. By studying the pavings of arbitrary BL_pL_q-Banach lattices by finite dimensional sublattices that are themselves in this class, we give an explicit set of axioms for BL_pL_q. We also consider the class of all sublattices of L_p(L_q)-Banach lattices; for this class (when p/q is not an integer) we give a set of axioms that are similar to Krivine’s well-known axioms for the subspaces of L_p-Banach spaces (when p/2 is not an integer). We also extend this result to the limiting case q = ∞.     

Reducing system of parameters and the Cohen-Macaulay property

Let R be a local ring and let (x ₁, …, x _r) be part of a system of parameters of a finitely generated R-module M, where r < dim_R M. We will show that if (y ₁, …, y _r) is part of a reducing system of parameters of M with (y ₁, …, y _r) M = (x ₁, …, x _r) M then (x ₁, …, x _r) is already reducing. Moreover, there is such a part of a reducing system of parameters of M iff for all primes P ε Supp M ∩ V _R(x ₁, …, x _r) with dim_R R/P = dim_R M − r the localization M _P of M at P is an r-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay module over R _P. Furthermore, we will show that M is a Cohen-Macaulay module iff y _d is a non zero divisor on M/(y ₁, …, y _d−1) M, where (y ₁, …, y _d) is a reducing system of parameters of M (d:= dim_R M).     

A constructive approach to minimal projections in Banach spaces

Let X be a Banach space and Y a finite-dimensional subspace of X. Let P be a minimal projection of X onto Y. It is shown (Theorem 1.1) that under certain conditions there exist sequences of finite-dimensional “approximating subspaces” X_m and Y_m of X with corresponding minimal projections P_m: X_m → Y_m, such that lim_m→∞ P_m = P. Moreover, a certain related sequence of projections i_m○P_m○π_m: X → Y has cluster points in the strong operator topology, each of which is a minimal projection of X onto Y. When X = C[a, b] the result reduces to a theorem of [7.]. It is shown (Corollary 1.11) that the hypothesis of Theorem 1.1 holds in many important Banach spaces, including C[a, b], L^P[a, b] and l^P for 1 p < ∞, and c₀, the space of sequences converging to zero in the sup norm.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Geodesic transformations and their groups in second-order tangent bundles induced by concircular transformations of bases

We investigate the flattening properties of the Lie group G _r ^II of transformations of a second-order tangent bundle T ²(M) equipped with the lift ∇ ^II of an affine connection ∇ and the lift g ^II of a metric g on the base of M induced by the Lie group G _r of concircular transformations of the base of M. The obtained results reveal certain geometric features of the induced group G _r ^II within the framework of the theory of p-geodesic mappings.     

Uniqueness of analytic continuation: Necessary and sufficient conditions

Necessary and sufficient conditions for uniqueness of analytic continuation are investigated for a system of m ? 1 first-order linear homogeneous partial differential equations in one unknown, with complex-valued $\text{b}$^∞ coefficients, in some connected open subset of $\text{R}$^k, k ? 2. The type of system considered is one for which there exists a real k-dimensional, $\text{b}$^∞, connected C-R submanifold M^k of $\text{C}$ⁿ, for k, n ? 2, such that the system may be identified with the induced Cauchy-Riemann operators on M^k. The question of uniqueness of analytic continuation for a system of partial differential equations is thus transformed to the question of uniqueness of analytic continuation for C-R functions on the manifold M^k ? Cⁿ. Under the assumption that the Levi algebra of M^k has constant dimension, it is shown that if the excess dimension of this algebra is maximal at every point, then M^k has the property of uniqueness of analytic continuation for its C-R functions. Conversely, under certain mild conditions, it is shown that if M^k has the property of uniqueness of analytic continuation for all $\text{b}$^∞ C-R functions, and if the Levi algebra has constant dimension on all of M^k, then the excess dimension must be maximal at every point of M^k.     

The moduli space of curves of genus two covering elliptic curves

We consider the moduli spaceS _n of curvesC of genus 2 with the property:C has a “maximal” mapf of degreen to an elliptic curveE. Here, the term “maximal” means that the mapf∶C→E doesn't factor over an unramified cover ofE. By Torelli mapS _n is viewed as a subset of the moduli spaceA ₂ of principally polarized abelian surfaces. On the other hand the Humbert surfaceH _Δ of invariant Δ is defined as a subvariety ofA ₂(C), the set of C-valued points ofA ₂. The purpose of this paper is to releaseS _n withH _Δ.     

An extension of a theorem of Alan Camina on conjugacy class sizes

Let G be a finite group. Let n be a positive integer and p a prime coprime to n. In this paper we prove that if the set of conjugacy class sizes of primary and biprimary elements of group G is {1,p ^a , p ^a n}, then G ≌ G ₀ × H, where H is abelian and G ₀ contains a normal subgroup M × P ₀ of index p. Moreover, M × P ₀ is the set of all elements of G ₀ of conjugacy class sizes p ^a or 1, where M is an abelian π(n)-subgroup of G ₀ and P ₀ is an abelian p-subgroup of G ₀, neither being central in G. Finally, p ^a = p and P/P ₀ acts fixed-point-freely on M and ?(P) ≤ Z(P). This is an extension of Alan Camina’s theorems on the structure of groups whose set of conjugacy class size is {1,p ^a , p ^a q ^b }, where p and q are two distinct primes.     

γ-sets and other singular sets of real numbers

A family of $\text{J}$ of open subsets of the real line is called an ω-cover of a set X iff every finite subset of X is contained in an element of $\text{J}$. A set of reals X is a γ-set iff for every ω-cover $\text{J}$ of X there exists $\text{〈D}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{: n < ω〉?}\text{J}{}^{\mathrm{\omega }}$ such that

In this paper we show that assuming Martin's axiom there is a γ-set X of cardinality the continuum.     

A note on Ki-perfect graphs

Ki-perfect graphs are a special instance of F - G perfect graphs, where F and G are fixed graphs with F a partial subgraph of G. Given S, a collection of G-subgraphs of graph K, an F - G cover of S is a set of T of F-subgraphs of K such that each subgraph in S contains as a subgraph a member of T. An F - G packing of S is a subcollection S′? S such that no two subgraphs in S′ have an F-subgraph in common. K is F - G perfect if for all such S, the minimum cardinality of an F - G cover of S equals the maximum cardinality of an F - G packing of S. Thus K_i-perfect graphs are precisely K_i-1 - K_i perfect graphs. We develop a hypergraph characterization of F - G perfect graphs that leads to an alternate proof of previous results on K_i-perfect graphs as well as to a characterization of F - G perfect graphs for other instances of F and G.     

A-acceptability of derivatives of rational approximations to EXP(Z)

The question of A-acceptability in regard to derivatives of R_m/n, the [m/n] Padé approximation to the exponential, is examined for a range of values of m and n. It is proven that R′_{n − 1/n}, R′_n/n, R′_{n + 1/n}and R″_n/n are A-acceptable and that numerous other choices of m and n lead to non-A-acceptability. The results seem to indicate that the A-acceptability pattern of R_m/n^(k) displays an intriguing generalization of the Wanner-Hairer-Nørsett theorem on the A-acceptability of R_m/n.     

Classification of small (0, 1) matrices

Denote by A_n the set of square (0, 1) matrices of order n. The set A_n, n ? 8, is partitioned into row/column permutation equivalence classes enabling derivation of various facts by simple counting. For example, the number of regular (0, 1) matrices of order 8 is 10160459763342013440. Let D_n, S_n denote the set of absolute determinant values and Smith normal forms of matrices from A_n. Denote by a_n the smallest integer not in D_n. The sets D₉ and S₉ are obtained; especially, a₉ = 103. The lower bounds for a_n, 10 ? n ? 19 (exceeding the known lower bound a_n ? 2f_n − 1, where f_n is nth Fibonacci number) are obtained. Row/permutation equivalence classes of A_n correspond to bipartite graphs with n black and n white vertices, and so the other applications of the classification are possible.     

A Euler-Poincaré characteristic for the open set lattices of finite topologies

Let $\text{T}$ be a finite topology. If P and Q are open sets of $\text{T}$ (Q may be the null set) then P is a minimal cover of Q provided Q ? P and there does not exist any open set R of $\text{T}$ such that Q ? R ? P. A subcollection $\text{D}$ of the open sets of $\text{T}$ is termed an i-discrete collection of $\text{T}$ provided $\text{D}$ contains every open O ∈ $\text{T}$ with the property that ? $\text{D}$ ? O ? ? $\text{D}$, $\text{D}$ contains exactly i minimal covers of ? $\text{D}$, and provided ?$\text{D}$ = ?{O | O ∈ $\text{D}$ and O is a minimal cover of ? $\text{D}$}. A single open set is a O-discrete collection. The number of distinct i-discrete collections of $\text{T}$ is denoted by p($\text{T}$, i). If there does not exist any i-discrete collection then p($\text{T}$,i) = 0, and this happens trivially for the case when i is greater than the number of points on which $\text{T}$ is defined. The object of this article is to establish the theorem: For any finite topology $\text{T}$, the quantity E($\text{T}$) = Σ_{i = 0}^∞ (?1)ⁱp($\text{T}$, i) = 1.
