A projection theorem and tangential boundary behavior of potentials

Let be the Weinstein operator on the half space, . Suppose there is a sequence of Borel sets such that a certain tangential projection of onto forms a pairwise disjoint subset of the boundary. Let be a finite test measure on the boundary for a specific non-isotropic Hausdorff measure. The measure is carried back to a measure on a subset of by the projection. We give an upper bound for the Weinstein potential corresponding to the measure in terms of a universal constant and a Weinstein subharmonic function. We use this upper bound to deduce a result concerning tangential behavior of Weinstein potentials at the boundary with the exception of sets on the boundary of vanishing non-isotropic Hausdorff measure.

     

Generalized Bicyclic Semigroups and Jones Semigroups

In this paper, we consider the generalized bicyclic semigroups B_n = a, b | aⁿb = 1 and the Jones semigroups A_n = a, b | aⁿ⁺¹b = a. They are the generalizations of the bicyclic semigroup B = a, b | ab = 1 and its analogous semigroup A = a, b | a²b = a discovered by P.R., Jones in 1987. The word problem for these kinds of semigroups is solved. It is proved that, for n 2, B_n are bisimple right inverse but not inverse semigroups and that the semigroup C = a, b | a²b = a, ab² = b is the smallest idempotent-free homomorphic image of A_n. Moreover, we also prove that A_n and A_m are mutually embeddable but not isomorphic with each other if n m. As a consequence, different kind of -nontrivial [0-]simple semigroups without idempotents are discussed.AMS 1991 Subject Classification: primary 20M10 secondary 20M05.Supported by NNSF of China (19671063) and KSRF of Sichuan Education Committee ([1999]127).     

A Note on Shiffman's Theorems

Shiffman proved his famous first theorem, that if A R³ is a compact minimal annulus bounded by two convex Jordan curves in parallel (say horizontal) planes, then A is foliated by strictly convex horizontal Jordan curves. In this article we use Perron's method to construct minimal annuli which have a planar end and are bounded by two convex Jordan curves in horizontal planes, but the horizontal level sets of the surfaces are not all convex Jordan curves or straight lines. These surfaces show that unlike his second and third theorems, Shiffman's first theorem is not generalizable without further qualification.

Are covering (enveloping) morphisms minimal?

We prove that for certain classes of modules such that direct sums of -covers ( -envelopes) are -covers ( -envelopes), -covering ( -enveloping) homomorphisms are always right (left) minimal. As a particular case we see that over noetherian rings, essential monomorphisms are left minimal. The same type of results are given when direct products of -covers are -covers. Finally we prove that over commutative noetherian rings, any direct product of flat covers of modules of finite length is a flat cover.

A new general algorithmic method in reaction syntheses using linear algebra

We discuss here a new general linear algebraic method (both model and algorithm) for describing and generating (among others) minimal reactions and also minimal mechanisms in stoichiometry, or dimensionless groups in physics as well. (Further applications in process network syntheses will be discussed in .) With some minor modifications of the input this method can be extended for several related questions: for generating direct and overall reactions, direct (steady state) mechanisms, for finding the possible resulting (overall) reactions among all possible mechanisms, etc.Computational results in section 4 show the speed of our algorithm.We give also mathematical background and results in sections 3, 5 and 6. However, we do not restrict ourselves to mathematics only, we also talk on the language of chemistry, too.The theoretical results in sections 3.2, 3.3, 5 and the computational examples in section 4 are completely new, further theoretical results will appear in and in .     

Totally skew embeddings of manifolds

We study a version of Whitney’s embedding problem in projective geometry: What is the smallest dimension of an affine space that can contain an n-dimensional submanifold without any pairs of parallel or intersecting tangent lines at distinct points? This problem is related to the generalized vector field problem, existence of non-singular bilinear maps, and the immersion problem for real projective spaces. We use these connections and other methods to obtain several specific and general bounds for the desired dimension.     

A generalization of Borel's theorem and microlocal Gevrey regularity in involutive structures

In this paper, we use Borel's procedure to construct Gevrey approximate solutions of an initial value problem for involutive systems of Gevrey complex vector fields. As an application, we describe the Gevrey wave-front set of the boundary values of approximate solutions in wedges W of Gevrey involutive structures (M,V). We prove that the Gevrey wave-front set of the boundary value is contained in the polar of a certain cone ΓT(W) contained in RV∩TX where X is a maximally real edge of W. We also prove a partial converse.
