Weak homogeneity in generalized function algebras

In this paper, weakly homogeneous generalized functions in the special Colombeau algebras are determined up to equality in the sense of generalized distributions. This yields characterizations that are formally similar to distribution theory. Further, we give several characterizations of equality in the sense of generalized distributions in these algebras (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Rieffel deformation of homogeneous spaces

Let G₁⊂G be a closed subgroup of a locally compact group G and let X=G/G₁ be the quotient space of left cosets. Let X=(C₀(X),ΔX) be the corresponding G-C^∗-algebra where G=(C₀(G),Δ). Suppose that Γ is a closed abelian subgroup of G₁ and let Ψ be a 2-cocycle on the dual group . Let GΨ be the Rieffel deformation of G. Using the results of the previous paper of the author we may construct GΨ-C^∗-algebra XΨ - the Rieffel deformation of X. On the other hand we may perform the Rieffel deformation of the subgroup G₁ obtaining the closed quantum subgroup , which in turn, by the results of S. Vaes, leads to the GΨ-C^∗-algebra . In this paper we show that . We also consider the case where Γ⊂G is not a subgroup of G₁, for which we cannot construct the subgroup . Then generically XΨ cannot be identified with a quantum quotient. What may be shown is that it is a GΨ-simple object in the category of GΨ-C^∗-algebras.

On sofic actions and equivalence relations

The notion of sofic equivalence relation was introduced by Gabor Elek and Gabor Lippner. Their technics employ some graph theory. Here we define this notion in a more operator algebraic context, starting from Connes? Embedding Problem, and prove the equivalence of these two definitions. We introduce a notion of sofic action for an arbitrary group and prove that an amalgamated product of sofic actions over amenable groups is again sofic. We also prove that an amalgamated product of sofic groups over an amenable subgroup is again sofic.

On the imaginary simple roots of the Borcherds algebra II9,1

In a recent paper [O. Bärwald, R.W. Gebert, M. Günaydin and H. Nicolai, preprint KCL-MTH-97-22, IASSNS-HEP-97/20, PSU-TH-178, AEI-029, hep-th/9703084, to appear in Commun. Math. Phys.] it was conjectured that the imaginary simple roots of the Borcherds algebra _II9,1 at level 1 are its only ones. We here propose an independent test of this conjecture, establishing its validity for all roots of norm − 8. However, the conjecture fails for roots of norm −10 and beyond, as we show by computing the simple multiplicities down to norm −24, which turn out to be remarkably small in comparison with the corresponding E₁₀ multiplicities. Our derivation is based on a modified denominator formula combining the denominator formulas for E₁₀ and _II9,1, and provides an efficient method for determining the imaginary simple roots. In addition, we compute the E₁₀ multiplicities of all roots up to height 231, including levels up to l = 6 and norms −42.     

State operators on generalizations of fuzzy structures

We enlarge the language of R?-monoids, which are a non-commutative generalizations of both MV algebras and BL algebras, by adding a unary operation that describes algebraic properties of a state (= an analog of probability measures). The resulting algebras are called stateR?-monoids and state-morphismR?-monoids. We present basic properties of such algebras. We describe subdirectly irreducible algebras, some generators of the varieties of state-morphism R?-monoids, and an interplay between states and state operators.     

Model-based likelihood ratio confidence intervals for survival functions

We introduce an adjusted likelihood ratio procedure for computing pointwise confidence intervals for survival functions from censored data. The test statistic, scaled by a ratio of two variance quantities, is shown to converge to a chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom. The confidence intervals are seen to be a neighborhood of a semiparametric survival function estimator and are shown to have correct empirical coverage. Numerical studies also indicate that the proposed intervals have smaller estimated mean lengths in comparison to the ones that are produced as a neighborhood of the Kaplan-Meier estimator. We illustrate our method using a lung cancer data set.     

Application of the method of multipliers to state space constrained optimal control problems with discrete time

The paper deals with convergence conditions of multiplier algorithms for solving optimal control problems with discrete time suggested by J. Bjbvonek in some earlier papers. In this approach the original state space constrained problem is converted into a control-constrained problem by introducing an additional control variable and an equality constraint which is taken into consideration by a multiplier method. Convergence conditions for the multiplier Iteration of global and local nature are given for exact and inexact solution of the subproblems.
