On T-sequences and characterized subgroups

Let X be a compact metrizable abelian group and u={un} be a sequence in its dual group X^∧. Set su(X)={x:(un,x)→1} and . Let G be a subgroup of X. We prove that G=su(X) for some u iff it can be represented as some dually closed subgroup Gu of . In particular, su(X) is polishable. Let u={un} be a T-sequence. Denote by the group X^∧ equipped with the finest group topology in which un→0. It is proved that and . We also prove that the group generated by a Kronecker set cannot be characterized.     

On a family of 2-automatic sequences generating algebraic continued fractions in characteristic 2

We present family of automatic sequences that define algebraic continued fractions in characteristic 2. This family is constructed from ultimately period words and contains the period-doubling sequence.     

Behaviour approximated on subgroups

The recovery of behaviour from its approximation over substructures is fraught with pathology. Here the extent is considered to which the behaviour of a continuous function on a locally compact Abelian group can be approximated by its behaviour on proper closed subgroups. Known results are summarised when the behaviour concerns integrability and the group is the circle; then boundedness and other limiting behaviour ‘at infinity’ are considered for more general groups. It is shown that if a continuous function is bounded on each proper closed subgroup of a connected locally compact Abelian group then it is bounded on the whole group. As befits this Festschrift, the techniques are predominantly topological. In passing we reflect on criteria for the difficult problem of identifying ‘substructures’ in Computer Science.     

An analogue of continued fractions in number theory for Nevanlinna theory

We show an analogue of continued fractions in approximation to irrational numbers by rationals for Nevanlinna theory. The analogue is a sequence of points in the complex plane which approaches a given finite set of points and at a given rate in the sense of Nevanlinna theory.

     

One-cusped congruence subgroups of Bianchi groups

We show that there are only finitely many maximal congruence subgroups of the Bianchi groups such that the quotient by has only one cusp.     

SUBGROUPS OF CLASS GROUPS OF ALGEBRAIC QUADRATIC FUNCTION FIELDS

Ideal class groups H(K) of algebraic quadratic function fields K are studied. Necessary and sufficient condition is given for the class group H(K) to contain a cyclic subgroup of any order n, which holds true for both real and imaginary fields K. Then several series of function fields K, including real, inertia imaginary, and ramified imaginary quadratic function fields, are given, for which the class groups H(K) are proved to contain cyclic subgroups of order n.     

A lower bound for linear forms in values of a continued fraction

Let y = y(x) be a function defined by a continued fraction. A lower bound for |Λ| = |β ₁ y ₁ + β ₂ y ₂ + α| is given, where y ₁ = y(x ₁), y ₂ = y(x ₂), x ₁ and x ₂ are positive integers, α, β ₁ and β ₂ are algebraic irrational numbers.     

Orbits of parabolic subgroups on metabelian ideals

Let k be an algebraically closed field, t∈Z?1, and let B be the Borel subgroup of GLt(k) consisting of upper-triangular matrices. Let Q be a parabolic subgroup of GLt(k) that contains B and such that the Lie algebra qu of the unipotent radical of Q is metabelian, i.e. the derived subalgebra of qu is abelian. For a dimension vector with , we obtain a parabolic subgroup P(d) of GLn(k) from B by taking upper-triangular block matrices with (i,j) block of size di×dj. In a similar manner we obtain a parabolic subgroup Q(d) of GLn(k) from Q. We determine all instances when P(d) acts on qu(d) with a finite number of orbits for all dimension vectors d. Our methods use a translation of the problem into the representation theory of certain quasi-hereditary algebras. In the finite cases, we use Auslander-Reiten theory to explicitly determine the P(d)-orbits; this also allows us to determine the degenerations of P(d)-orbits.

A distributional limit law for the continued fraction digit sum

We consider the continued fraction digits as random variables measured with respect to Lebesgue measure. The logarithmically scaled and normalised fluctuation process of the digit sums converges strongly distributional to a random variable uniformly distributed on the unit interval. For this process normalised linearly we determine a large deviation asymptotic. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

On the Conjugacy problem for Carter subgroups

We prove that the Carter subgroups of a finite group are conjugate if so are the Carter subgroups of the group of induced automorphisms for every nonabelian composition factor.     

Constructing arithmetic subgroups of unipotent groups

Let G be a unipotent algebraic subgroup of some defined over . We describe an algorithm for finding a finite set of generators of the subgroup . This is based on a new proof of the result (in more general form due to Borel and Harish-Chandra) that such a finite generating set exists.     

A characterization of the circle group via uniqueness of roots

It was shown in Bíró et al. (2001) [7] that every cyclic subgroup C of the circle group T admits a characterizing sequence (un) of integers in the sense that unx→0 for some x∈T iff x∈C. More generally, for a subgroup H of a topological (abelian) group G one can define:

(a)

g(H) to be the set of all elements x of G such that unx→0 in G for all sequences (un) of integers such that unh→0 in G for all h∈H;

(b)

H to be g-closed if H=g(H).

We show then that an infinite compact abelian group G has all its cyclic subgroups g-closed iff G≅T.     

Presentations for subgroups of Artin groups

Recently, M. Bestvina and N. Brady have exhibited groups that are of type but not finitely presented. We give explicit presentations for groups of the type considered by Bestvina-Brady. This leads to algebraic proofs of some of their results.

     

On fuzzy subgroups and fuzzy ideals under triangular norms

In this communication, we explicitly point out that the principal results of Liu 1982 basically deduced from the definition of binary operation ° on the set F(X) of all fuzzy subsets of X, also hold if one uses the weaker definition of product under triangular norm °_t. Fuzzy ideals with respect to the triangular norms are also defined.

Continued fraction approximation for the Gamma function based on the Tri-gamma function

In this paper, we present a continued fraction product approximation for the Gamma function, via the Tri-gamma function. This approximation is fast in comparison with the recently discovered asymptotic series. We also establish the inequalities related to this approximation. Finally, some numerical computations are provided for demonstrating the superiority of our approximation.
