On the modularity level of modular abelian varieties over number fields

Let f be a weight two newform for Γ₁(N) without complex multiplication. In this article we study the conductor of the absolutely simple factors B of the variety Af over certain number fields L. The strategy we follow is to compute the restriction of scalars ResL/Q(B), and then to apply Milne's formula for the conductor of the restriction of scalars. In this way we obtain an expression for the local exponents of the conductor NL(B). Under some hypothesis it is possible to give global formulas relating this conductor with N. For instance, if N is squarefree, we find that NL(B) belongs to Z and , where fL is the conductor of L.     

弱化希尔伯特第16问题及其研究现状

V.I.Arnold多次提出如下问题:对于给定的自然数n≥2,所有n次多项式1-形式,沿一切可能的m≥3次闭代数曲线族的阿贝尔积分的孤立零点的最大个数Z(m,n)=?由Poincare-Pontryagin定理可知,当阿贝尔积分不恒为零时,A(n)=Z(n+1,n)给出n次Hamilton系统在n次多项式扰动下从原有周期环域分支出极限环的最大个数,因此Arnold把这个问题称为弱化的希尔伯特第16问题.30多年来,对此问题的研究取得了一定进展,也遇到了很大困难.本文拟对这个问题和相关研究工作做一个粗浅的介绍.     

On Rational Varieties Smooth Except at a Seminormal Singular Point

We construct a class of projective rational varieties X of any dimension m ≥ 1, which are smooth except at a point O, with the projective space ? ^m as normalization, having smooth branches, and reduced projectivized tangent cone in O. The Hilbert function of X is considered and is explicitly computed when the point O is seminormal. Indeed, we study seminormality, obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions for O to be seminormal and show that in such case the tangent cone is reduced and seminormal.     

Codimension Growth of Strong Lie Nilpotent Associative Algebras

We study Lie nilpotent varieties of associative algebras. We explicitly compute the codimension growth for the variety of strong Lie nilpotent associative algebras. The codimension growth is polynomial and found in terms of Stirling numbers of the first kind. To achieve the result we take the free Lie algebra of countable rank L(X), consider its filtration by the lower central series and shift it. Next we apply generating functions of special type to the induced filtration of the universal enveloping algebra U(L(X)) = A(X).     

Existence of Indecomposable Rank Two Vector Bundles on Higher Dimensional Toric Varieties

In the mid 1970s, Hartshorne conjectured that, for all n > 7, any rank 2 vector bundles on ? ⁿ is a direct sum of line bundles. This conjecture remains still open. In this paper, we construct indecomposable rank two vector bundles on a large class of Fano toric varieties. Unfortunately, this class does not contain ? ⁿ .     

Walker's Cancellation Theorem

Walker's cancellation theorem says that, if B ⊕ Z is isomorphic to C ⊕ Z in the category of abelian groups, then B is isomorphic to C. We construct an example in a diagram category of abelian groups where the theorem fails. As a consequence, the original theorem does not have a constructive proof even if B and C are subgroups of the free abelian group on two generators. Both of these results contrast with a group whose endomorphism ring has stable range one, which allows a constructive proof of cancellation and also a proof in any diagram category.     

Residually *-Abelian Valuation with Residue Characteristic Not 2

We are given a division ring D with involution (*) and with a *-valuation V such that V(sx ? xs) > V(sx), for all nonzero elements x, s of D with s = s*. Let χ denote the characteristic of the residue class division ring associated with V. We reported in Theorem 3.2.5 Part 4 in [3 Chacron , M. ( 1989 ). c-Valuations and normal c-orderings . Can. J. Math. XLI : 14 – 67 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] that, in the case χ = 0, either D is a standard quaternion division algebra or else D contains no algebraic elements other than the scalars. In this article, we carry out a generalization of the preceding theorem to the case χ ≠ 2. Our results are fairly complete in the finite dimensional case, and generalize theorems of, notably, J. Graeter and A. I. Lichtman, in the infinite dimensional case.
