Newton's formula for

This paper presents an explicit relation between the two sets which are well-known generators of the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra : one by Capelli (1890) and the other by Gelfand (1950). Our formula is motivated to give an exact analogy for the classical Newton's formula connecting the elementary symmetric functions and the power sum symmetric functions. The formula itself can be deduced from a more general result on Yangians obtained by Nazarov. Our proof is elementary and has an advantage in its direct accessibility.

     

Riesz transforms for

It has been asked (see R. Strichartz, Analysis of the Laplacian, J. Funct. Anal. 52 (1983), 48-79) whether one could extend to a reasonable class of non-compact Riemannian manifolds the boundedness of the Riesz transforms that holds in . Several partial answers have been given since. In the present paper, we give positive results for under very weak assumptions, namely the doubling volume property and an optimal on-diagonal heat kernel estimate. In particular, we do not make any hypothesis on the space derivatives of the heat kernel. We also prove that the result cannot hold for under the same assumptions. Finally, we prove a similar result for the Riesz transforms on arbitrary domains of .

In this note we describe nonsemisimple Hopf algebras of dimension with coradical isomorphic to , abelian of order , over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If is cyclic or , then we also determine the number of isomorphism classes of such Hopf algebras.

     

Irreducible representations of the Cuntz algebra

In this paper, we establish formulas for the configuration of a special class of irreducible representations of the Cuntz algebra , . These irreducible representations arise as subrepresentations of naturally occurring representations of acting in and arise from consideration of multiresolution wavelet filters.

     

Free

It has been conjectured that every free algebraic action of the additive group of complex numbers on complex affine three space is conjugate to a global translation. The main result lends support to this conjecture by showing that the morphism to the variety defined by the ring of invariants of the associated action on the coordinate ring is smooth. As a consequence, the graph morphism is an open immersion, and simple proofs of certain cases of the conjecture are obtained.

For any locally compact group , let and be the Fourier and the Fourier-Stieltjes algebras of , respectively. is decomposed as a direct sum of and , where is a subspace of consisting of all elements that satisfy the property: for any and any compact subset , there is an with and such that is characterized by the following: an element is in if and only if, for any there is a compact subset such that for all with and . Note that we do not assume the amenability of . Consequently, we have for all if is noncompact. We will apply this characterization of to investigate the general properties of and we will see that is not a subalgebra of even for abelian locally compact groups.

For each there is a generic extension of in which does not exist and is non-stationary.

This result is then applied to show that if is an inner model without , then some sentence not true in can be forced over .

     

On the diophantine equation

In this paper we prove that the equation , , , , , has only the solutions and with is a prime power. The proof depends on some new results concerning the upper bounds for the number of solutions of the generalized Ramanujan-Nagell equations.

     

On the modular curves

Let denote an elliptic curve over and the modular curve classifying the elliptic curves over such that the representations of in the 7-torsion points of and of are symplectically isomorphic. In case is given by a Weierstraß equation such that the invariant is a square, we exhibit here nontrivial points of . From this we deduce an infinite family of curves for which has at least four nontrivial points.

Projections from

Let and be two infinite dimensional real Banach spaces. The following question is classical and long-standing. Are the following properties equivalent?

a) There exists a projection from the space of continuous linear operators onto the space of compact linear operators.

b) .

The answer is positive in certain cases, in particular if or has an unconditional basis. It seems that there are few results in the direction of a general solution. For example, suppose that and are reflexive and that or has the approximation property. Then, if , there is no projection of norm 1, from onto . In this paper, one obtains, in particular, the following result:

Theorem. Let be a real Banach space which is reflexive (resp. with a separable dual), of infinite dimension, and such that has the approximation property. Let be a real scalar with . Then can be equivalently renormed such that, for any projection from onto , one has . One gives also various results with two spaces and .

type free resolutions of monomial ideals

Let be a monomial ideal of . Bayer-Peeva-Sturmfels studied a subcomplex of the Taylor resolution, defined by a simplicial complex . They proved that if is generic (i.e., no variable appears with the same non-zero exponent in two distinct monomials which are minimal generators), then is the minimal free resolution of , where is the Scarf complex of . In this paper, we prove the following: for a generic (in the above sense) monomial ideal and each integer , there is an embedded prime of . Thus a generic monomial ideal with no embedded primes is Cohen-Macaulay (in this case, is shellable). We also study a non-generic monomial ideal whose minimal free resolution is for some . In particular, we prove that if all associated primes of have the same height, then is Cohen-Macaulay and is pure and strongly connected.
