The Szlenk index and local ℓ<Subscript>1</Subscript>-indices

We introduce two new local ₁-indices of the same type as the Bourgain ₁-index; the ⁺₁-index and the ⁺₁-weakly null index. We show that the ⁺₁-weakly null index of a Banach space X is the same as the Szlenk index of X, provided X does not contain ₁. The ⁺₁-weakly null index has the same form as the Bourgain ₁-index: if it is countable it must take values for some <₁. The different ₁-indices are closely related and so knowing the Szlenk index of a Banach space helps us calculate its ₁-index, via the ⁺₁-weakly null index. We show that I(C(^{))=^1++1}.     

Extensions of distance reducing mappings to piecewise congruent mappings on ℓm

In this note I will show any distance reducing mapping f: M ⁿ, where M is a finite subset of ^m (m n), can be extended to a piecewise conqruent mapping f: ^{m n}.     

Uniqueness of the Unconditional Basis of ?1 (?p) and ?p (?1), 0 < p < 1

We prove that the quasi-Banach spaces ₁ (_p) and _p (₁), 0 < p < 1 have a unique unconditional basis up to permutation     

Finite Representability of ℓp in Quotients of Banach Spaces

A typical result of the paper states that if X is a Banach space with a basis and for some 1pq, the spaces _p and _q are finitely block representable in every block subspace of X, then every block subspace of X admits a block quotient Z such that for every r[p,q], the space _r is finitely block representable in Z. Results of a similar nature are also established for ^N _p-block-sequences and asymptotic spaces.     

On flags in a topological projective plane

In this paper we study some properties of the flag space () of a topological projective plane . The line set, sayL, of (), splits into two subfamiliesL ₀ andL ₁ which an non-trivial partitions of the point set of (). For any two distinct lines , ' belonging to one of the two subfamilies, there is exactly one line in the other subfamily meeting botl and '; turns out to be a continuous mapping of (-,'–. Further, the intersection o: two lines, having exactly one point in common, is a continuous and open mapping. Conversely, every irreducible semilinear space, satisfying the above properties, is isomor phic to the flag space of a topological projective plane.This paper has been prepared from some results of a research project supported by N.A.T.O.     

The Eta Invariant and the Connective K-Theory of the Classifying Space for Cyclic 2 Groups

We use the eta invariant to study the connective K-theory groups ko _m (B ) of the classifying space for the cyclic group where - 2 2.     

The Residue of p(N) Modulo Small Primes

For primes we obtain a simple formula for p(N) (mod ) as a weighted sum over -square affine partitions of N. When {3,5,7,11}, the weights are explicit divisor functions. The Ramanujan congruences modulo 5, 7, 11, 25, 49, and 121 follow immediately from these formulae.     

A unifying theory of a posteriori finite element error control

Summary Residual-based a posteriori error estimates are derived within a unified setting for lowest-order conforming, nonconforming, and mixed finite element schemes. The various residuals are identified for all techniques and problems as the operator norm |||| of a linear functional of the formin the variable of a Sobolev space V. The main assumption is that the first-order finite element space is included in the kernel Ker of . As a consequence, any residual estimator that is a computable bound of |||| can be used within the proposed frame without further analysis for nonconforming or mixed FE schemes. Applications are given for the Laplace, Stokes, and Navier-Lamè equations.Supported by the DFG Research Center Matheon Mathematics for key technologies in Berlin.     

Subgroups and Hulls of Specker Lattice-Ordered Groups

In this article, it will be shown that every -subgroup of a Specker -group has singular elements and that the class of -groups that are -subgroups of Specker -group form a torsion class. Methods of adjoining units and bases to Specker -groups are then studied with respect to the generalized Boolean algebra of singular elements, as is the strongly projectable hull of a Specker -group.     

Finitely Valued f-Modules, An Addendum

In an -group M with an appropriate operator set it is shown that the -value set (M) can be embedded in the value set (M). This embedding is an isomorphism if and only if each convex -subgroup is an -subgroup. If (M) has a.c.c. and M is either representable or finitely valued, then the two value sets are identical. More generally, these results hold for two related operator sets ₁ and ₂ and the corresponding -value sets and . If R is a unital -ring, then each unital -module over R is an f-module and has exactly when R is an f-ring in which 1 is a strong order unit.     

The interpolation ofℓ r sequences by hp functions

The sequence spaceH ^P (z)={{f (z_h)}:f H ^p} is defined for a fixed sequence Z={z_k} of different points of the open unit disk and the Hardy class HP of analytic functions in the disk. For an arbitrary p[1, ) is constructed a point sequence Z= {z_k} such that ¹h ^p(z), but ^r h^p (Z) for r > 1. It follows from a well-known result of L. Carleson that the inclusions ^r h (Z) for all r[1,] are equivalent.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 4, pp. 503–508, April, 1977.

Application of spherical functions to a certain problem in the theory of quadratic forms

The problem regarding the number of integral points on multidimensional ellipsoids is investigated with the aid of modular forms. In the paper we consider the simplest special case of the following problem: one considers a multidimensional sphere and as a domain on it one selects a cap. The precise result is formulated in the following manner: let r(n) be the number of the representations of n by a sum of squares, 0n₁, 2 n; the expression for K(A), 4, is given in the paper. It is also shown that one can refine somewhat the results on the distribution of integral points on multidimensional ellipsoids, obtained by A. V. Malyshev by the circular method, remaining within the framework of the same methods.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Constructing Representations of the Nonstandardly Deformed Algebra sℓξ(2)

The generators of the algebra s(2), which result from the nonstandard (Jordanian) deformation of the algebra s(2), are realized in the form of finite-difference operators acting in a function space. This allows realizing arbitrary-dimensional representations of s(2) in the polynomial space that are in one-to-one correspondence with usual matrices of an appropriate dimension. We discuss using the suggested realization to construct and investigate the universal R-matrix invariant with respect to the action of the algebra s(2).     

The Eta Invariant and the Real Connective K-Theory of the Classifying Space for Quaternion Groups

We express the real connective K-theory groups o_4k–1(B Q ) ofthe quaternion group Q of order = 2 ^j 8 in terms of therepresentation theory of Q by showing o_4k–1(B Q ) = Sp(S ^4k+3/Q )where is any fixed point free representation of Q in U(2k + 2).     

Dominated, diagonal polynomials on ℓ p spaces

We show that the r-dominated polynomials on _p(2 p ) are integral on ₁, and give examples proving that the converse is not true. We characterize when the 2-homogeneous, diagonal polynomials on _p(1 < p ) are r-dominated. We prove that, unlike the linear case, there are nuclear polynomials which are not 1-dominated.Received: 6 June 2004; revised: 28 September 2004     

A distribution of the number of ℓ-steps in a random binary sequence subject to some constraints

There are investigated the joint distribution of random variables _kn(₁),..., _kn(_s), and distributions of some functionals of _kn(), for n. Here _kn(), 1ln–1 is the number of -steps in a binary sequence (b.s.), selected randomly and equiprobably from the totality of all n-dimensional b.s. that have a prescribed number of ones and k 1-steps. By an -step of a b.s. we understand a configuration of the form 1...0, where the ellipsis stands for an ( –1)-dimensional b.s.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 9, pp. 1186–1193, September, 1991.     

Semiovals with large collinear subsets

Asemioval in a projective plane is a setS of points such that for every pointP S, there exists a unique line of such thatS={P}. In other words, at every point ofS, there exists a unique tangent line.In this paper, we consider semiovals such that some line has a large intersection withS. In a finite plane it is shown that no semioval can contain a full line, and that apart from two small cases, no semioval can contain all but one point of some line. We then consider semiovals which contain all but two points of some line, providing some examples and characterizations.     

Application of fields formed by the Gauss periods to the investigation of cyclic diophantine equations

The question of the nonsolvability of the equation in rational integersx ₀,x ₁,...,x _t,z satisfying certain additional conditions is investigated. Two cases are considered: 1) is a regular prime number and 0 < t < – 1; 2) is an irregular prime number, =fe+1 (f is prime), > c₀ (f, t) and does not divide the Bernoulli numbers .Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
