The Semisimplicity of L^1 （K,w） of a Weighted Commutative Hypergroup K

In the present paper, it is shown that, for a locally compact commutative hypergroup K with a Borel measurable weight function w, the Banach algebra L^1 （K, w） is semisimple if and only if L^1 （K） is semisimple. Indeed, we have improved compact groups to the general setting of locally a well-krown result of Bhatt and Dedania from locally compact hypergroups.     

Finite Projective Geometries and Classification of the Weight Hierarchies of Codes （Ⅰ）

The weight hierarchy of a binary linear [n,κ] code C is the sequence (d1,d2,...,dκ), where dr is the smallest support of an r-dimensional subcode of C. The codes of dimension 4 are collected in classes and the possible weight hierarchies in each class is determined by finite projective geometries.The possible weight hierarchies in class A, B, C, D are determined in Part (Ⅰ). The possible weight hierarchies in class E, F, G, H, I are determined in Part (Ⅱ).

Local Spectral Properties of Total Class wF（p, r, q） Operators

In this paper, by initiative research on local spectral theory of total class wF(p, r, q) operators, we get some important results. Such as total class wF(p, r,q) op-erators is normaloid operator, the local spectral subspace of total class wF(p, r, q) operators is equal to the space EλH(Eλ the Reisz idempotent, with respect to ,λ, of T), total class wF(p, r, q) operators has finite ascent, and so on.     

A Note on Adjacent Strong Edge Coloring of K（n,m）

In this paper, we prove that the adjacent strong edge chromatic number of a graph K（n,m） is n ＋ 1, with n ≥ 2, m ≥ 1.     

A Note on Maximal Properties of Some Subsemigroups of Finite Order-Preserving Transformation Semigroups

Both maximal idempotent-generated subsemigroups and maximal idempotent-generated regular subsemigroups of O _n were studied by Yang [10 Yang , X. , Lu , C. ( 2000 ). Maximal properties of some subsemigroups in finite order-preserving transformation semigroups . Communications in Algebra 28 : 3125 – 3135 .[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. The purpose of this article is to simplify the results of Yang [10 Yang , X. , Lu , C. ( 2000 ). Maximal properties of some subsemigroups in finite order-preserving transformation semigroups .

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-large and generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-large Abelian groups

The concepts of K-large and generalized K-large Abelian groups are introduced, and their main properties and interconnections are studied. We consider groups that are K-large (generalized K-large) with respect to the class of all groups and torsion-free groups. The main focus is on the case where K consists of bounded p-groups for an infinite set of prime numbers p. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 13, No. 3, pp. 51–60, 2007.     

Finite presentability of <Emphasis Type="Italic">SL</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>)

Let D be a finite dimensional division algebra over a local field of characteristic p and let SL ₁(D) denote the group of elements of reduced norm 1 in D. In this paper we prove that SL ₁(D) is finitely presented as a profinite group. This work is part of the author’s Ph.D. Thesis at Yale University.     

Composite Integers n for Which φ（n）｜n- 1

In this note, we show that the number of composite integers n ≤ x such that φ（n）｜n - 1 is at most O（x^1/2（loglog x）^1/2）, thus improving earlier results by Pomerance and by Shan.     

Critical values of automorphic L-functions for GL(<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>)×GL(<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>)

 We compute, up to an element of a fixed number field, the critical values of the L-function of a pair of automorphic, cuspidal, cohomological representations of any GL(r). The result is expressed as a product of cohomological periods divided by an archimedean integral. The main tool used is the rationality of the cohomology of the three representations involved in the Rankin–Selberg integral. As an intermediate step, we also obtained the rationality of the Eisenstein cohomology. Received: 14 February 2002 / Revised version: 17 September 2002 Published online: 14 February 2003     

Homotopy classification of maps between r-1 connected 2r dimensional manifolds

In this paper,we study the homotopy classification of continuous maps between two r-1 connected 2r dimensional topological manifolds M,N.If we assume some knowledge on the homotopy groups of spheres,then the complete classification can be obtained from the homotopy invariants of M,N.We design an algorithm and compose a program to give explicit computations.     

On the value distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ƒ</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">ƒ</Emphasis>′)<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let ƒ be a transcendental meromorphic function, a a nonzero finite complex number, and n ⩾ 2 a positive integer. Then ƒ + a(ƒ′) ⁿ assumes every complex value infinitely often. This answers a question of Ye for n = 2. A related normality criterion is also given.

Polyhedral <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">2</Emphasis></Subscript>

 Using elementary graded automorphisms of polytopal algebras (essentially the coordinate rings of projective toric varieties) polyhedral versions of the group of elementary matrices and the Steinberg and Milnor groups are defined. They coincide with the usual K-theoretic groups in the special case when the polytope is a unit simplex and can be thought of as compact/polytopal substitutes for the tame automorphism groups of polynomial algebras. Relative to the classical case, many new aspects have to be taken into account. We describe these groups explicitly when the underlying polytope is 2-dimensional. Already this low-dimensional case provides interesting classes of groups.
