There Exists a Simple Non Trivial t-design with an Arbitrarily Large Automorphism Group for Every t

In 1987, Teirlinckproved that if t and are two integers such that v t(mod(t + 1)!^(2t+1) and v t + 1 >0, then there exists a t - (v, t + 1, (t + 1)!^(2t+1)) design. We prove that if there exists a (t+1)-(v,k,)design and a t-(v-1,k-2, (k-t-1)/(v-k+1))design with t 2, then there exists a t-(v+1,k, (v-t+1)(v-t)/ (v-k+1)(k-t))design. Using this recursive construction, we prove that forany pair (t,n) of integers (t 2and n 0), there exists a simple non trivial t-(v,k,) design having an automorphism groupisomorphic to ⁿ ₂.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for s-Hopfian manifolds to be codimension-2 fibrators

Fibrators help detect approximate fibrations. A closed, connected -manifold is called a codimension-2 fibrator if each map defined on an -manifold such that all fibre , are shape equivalent to is an approximate fibration. The most natural objects to study are s-Hopfian manifolds. In this note we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for s-Hopfian manifolds to be codimension-2 fibrators.

Factorization in finite-codimensional ideals of group algebras

Let G be a -compact, locally compact group and I be a closed2-sided ideal with finite codimension in L¹(G). It is shownthat there are a closed left ideal L having a right boundedapproximate identity and a closed right ideal R having a leftbounded approximate identity such that I = L + R. The proofuses ideas from the theory of boundaries of random walks ongroups. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 43A20;secondary 42A85, 43A07, 46H10, 46H40, 60B11.     

Isometries of Quaternionic Lie Groups

We study connected Lie groups whose Lie algebra is obtained as the tensor product of a real associative algebra and the algebra of quaternions. It is proved that they carry a natural integrable -structure. We endow such quaternionic Lie groups with a left-invariant Hermitian metric and study the identity connected component of their isometry groups. The determination of such identity connected component is illustrated with a family of examples.     

Bi-Invariant Domains in Semisimple Groups: Nonprincipal Orbits and Boundaries

Let G be a complex semisimple group with real form G . For the action of G × G on G by left and right translation, we define and study an orbit-type stratification of G. In particular, we compute the dimension of an arbitrary stratum; we identify certain strata of low codimension in G, the union of whose closures contains every nonprincipal stratum; and we describe the boundaries and adjacency relations of the maximal connected domains in G that contain only principal orbits.     

On Finite Groups and the Small Square Property

Let G be a finite group written multiplicatively and k a positive integer. If X is a non-empty subset of G, write X ² = |xy | x, y X . We say that G has the small square property on k-sets if |X ²| < k ² for any k-element subset X of G. For each group G, there is a unique m = m _G such that G has the small square property on (m + 1)-sets but not on m-sets. In this paper we show that given any positive integer d, there is a finite group G with m _G = d.     

On Norden Metrics which Are Locally Conformal to Anti-Kählerian Metrics

We build examples of Norden metrics on × S ¹, where R ^{2 n} _n is either a pseudosphere or a pseudohyperbolic space. These turn out to be locally conformal to flat anti-Kählerian metrics, strongly non anti-Kählerian, and with a parallel Lee form. Conversely, any connected complete anti-Hermitian manifold possessing these properties is shown to be locally analytically homothetic to × S ¹.     

First Alexandroff Decomposition Theorem for Topological Lattice Group Valued Measures

Let (X, F) be an Alexandroff space, let A(F) be the Boolean subalgebra of 2 ^X generated by F, let G be a Hausdorff commutative topological lattice group and let rba_F(A(F), G) denote the set of all order bounded F-inner regular finitely additive set functions from A(F) into G. Using some special properties of the elements of rba_F(A(F), G), we extend to this setting the first decomposition theorem of Alexandroff.     

Dedekind Complete Commutative BCK-algebras

We study Dedekind complete commutative BCK-algebras with the relative cancellation property and their connection with corresponding universal groups. We shall characterize Dedekind orthogonally complete atomic and Archimedean BCK-algebras, generalizing results of Jakubík known for MV-algebras. Finally, we characterize those Dedekind complete and atomic commutative BCK-algebras that are isomorphic to direct products of basic BCK-chains, generalizing a result of Cignoli for MV-algebras.
