Spherical classes and the Lambda algebra

Let be Singer's invariant-theoretic model of the dual of the lambda algebra with , where denotes the mod 2 Steenrod algebra. We prove that the inclusion of the Dickson algebra, , into is a chain-level representation of the Lannes-Zarati dual homomorphism

The Lannes-Zarati homomorphisms themselves, , correspond to an associated graded of the Hurewicz map

Based on this result, we discuss some algebraic versions of the classical conjecture on spherical classes, which states that Only Hopf invariant one and Kervaire invariant one classes are detected by the Hurewicz homomorphism. One of these algebraic conjectures predicts that every Dickson element, i.e. element in , of positive degree represents the homology class in for 2$">.

We also show that factors through , where denotes the differential of . Therefore, the problem of determining should be of interest.

     

Second-Order Subexponential Sequences and the Asymptotic Behavior of Their De Pril Transform

Suppose that { f(n), n N ₀ } is a sequence of positive real numbers and suppose that the sequence { a(n), n N ₀ } is given by a(0) = 0, and, for n 1, by the convolution equation nf(n) = a* f(n). The resulting sequence is denoted by a(n) = _f (n) and is called the De Pril transform of { f(n), n N ₀ } . In this paper, we consider first- and second-order asymptotic behavior of { _{f (n), n N 0} } for a large class of subexponential sequences { f(n), n N ₀ } . We also discuss some applications.

Matrix Transformations Between Some Vector-Valued Sequence Spaces

In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for infinite matrices mapping from the Nakano vector-valued sequence space (X, p) into any BK-space, and by using this result, we obtain the matrix characterizations from (X, p) into the sequence spaces (Y), c₀(Y, q), c(Y), _s(Y), E_r(Y), and F_r(Y), where p = (p_k) and q = (q_k) are bounded sequences of positive real numbers such that p_k 1 for all k N, r 0, and s 1.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 46A45     

On a differential-algebraic problem

The method of quasilinearization is a procedure for obtaining approximate solutions of differential equations. In this paper, this technique is applied to a differential-algebraic problem. Under some natural assumptions, monotone sequences converge quadratically to a unique solution of our problem.

The Effect of Pulling and Twisting Forces on Chameleon Sequence Peptides**

Chameleon sequences are amino acid sequences found in several distinct configurations in experiment. They challenge our understanding of the link between sequence and structure, and provide insight into structural competition in proteins. Here, we study the energy landscapes for three such sequences, and interrogate how pulling and twisting forces impact the available structural ensembles. Chameleon sequences do not necessarily exhibit multiple structural ensembles on a multifunnel energy landscape when we consider them in isolation. The application of even small forces leads to drastic changes in the energy landscapes. For pulling forces, we observe transitions from helical to extended structures in a very small span of forces. For twisting forces, the picture is much more complex, and highly dependent on the magnitude and handedness of the applied force as well as the reference angle for the twist. Depending on these parameters, more complex and more simplistic energy landscapes are observed alongside more and less diverse structural ensembles. The impact of even small forces is significant, confirming their likely role in folding events. In addition, small forces exerted by the remaining scaffold of a protein may be sufficient to lead to the adoption of a specific structural ensemble by a chameleon sequence.     

Shifted Jacobi multiplier sequences and transplantation between sine and cosine series

It is shown that the multiplier norm of a shifted Jacobi multiplier sequence can be estimated by the (same) multiplier norm of the original sequence uniformly with respect to the shift. Muckenhoupt’s transplantation theorem for Jacobi series is used essentially, for which also a functional analytic understanding is given in terms of the minimality of the Jacobi system in weighted L ^p -spaces.
