Computation of Almost Split Sequences with Applications to Relatively Projective and Prinjective Modules

Let be an Artin algebra, let mod be the category of finitely generated -modules, and let Amod be a contravariantly finite and extension closed subcategory. For an indecomposable and not Ext-projective module CA, we compute the almost split sequence 0ABC0 in A from the almost split sequence 0DTrCEC0 in mod. Since the computation is particularly simple if the minimal right A-approximation of DTrC is indecomposable for all indecomposable and not Ext-projective CA, we manufacture subcategories A with the desired property using orthogonal subcategories. The method of orthogonal subcategories is applied to compute almost split sequences for relatively projective and prinjective modules.     

Nonlinear Dynamics of a Two-Mode Wave Packet with Strong Linear Intermode

We investigate the dynamics of the wave packet formed by two codirected strongly interacting waves propagating in a medium with cubic nonlinearity. We obtain a soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the degenerate case where the wave packet is described by a single partial momentum. In the nondegenerate case, we use the variational method to find the equation for the pulse duration, which turns out to be analogous to the equation for the coordinate in the Kepler problem. Solving it, we find the dependences of the pulse duration on the propagation distance in the cases of finite and infinite propagation regimes.     

On the Pointwise Limit of Vector Charges with the Saks Property

The well-known theorem about the density of the space of probability charges with the Saks property in the space of all probability charges in the pointwise topology is proved in the vector case. New features are the uniform Saks property for the family of charges and sufficient conditions for the pointwise limit of a sequence of charges to have the Saks property.     

Annihilators, Multipliers and Crossed Modules

Using multiplication algebras we introduce actor crossed modules of commutative algebras and use it to generalise some aspects from commutative algebras to crossed modules of commutative algebras. This is applied to the Peiffer pairings in the Moore complex of a simplicial commutative algebra.     

Structure of Degenerate Block Algebras

Given a non-trivial torsion-free abelian group (A,+,Q), a field F of characteristic 0, and a non-degenerate bi-additive skew-symmetric map : A A F, we define a Lie algebra = (A, ) over F with basis {e_x | x A/{0}} and Lie product [e_x,e_y] = (x,y)e_x+y. We show that is endowed uniquely with a non-degenerate symmetric invariant bilinear form and the derivation algebra Der of is a complete Lie algebra. We describe the double extension D( , T) of by T, where T is spanned by the locally finite derivations of , and determine the second cohomology group H²(D( , T),F) using anti-derivations related to the form on D( , T). Finally, we compute the second Leibniz cohomology groups HL²( , F) and HL²(D( , T), F).2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 17B05, 17B30This work was supported by the NNSF of China (19971044), the Doctoral Programme Foundation of Institution of Higher Education (97005511), and the Foundation of Jiangsu Educational Committee.     

Crystal Bases for Quantum Affine Algebras and Combinatorics of Young Walls

In this paper we give a realization of crystal bases for quantumaffine algebras using some new combinatorial objects which wecall the Young walls. The Young walls consist of colored blockswith various shapes that are built on a given ground-state walland can be viewed as generalizations of Young diagrams. Therules for building Young walls and the action of Kashiwara operatorsare given explicitly in terms of combinatorics of Young walls.The crystal graph of a basic representation is characterizedas the set of all reduced proper Young walls. The characterof a basic representation can be computed easily by countingthe number of colored blocks that have been added to the ground-statewall. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 17B37, 17B65,81R50, 82B23.     

Prolongations of Vector Fields on Lie Groups and Homogeneous Spaces

We introduce the notion of the -prolongation of Lie algebras of differential operators on homogeneous spaces. The -prolongations are topological invariants that coincide with one-dimensional cohomologies of the corresponding Lie algebras in the case where V is a homogeneous space. We apply the obtained results to the spaces S ¹ (the Virasoro algebra) and .     

On a subvariety of semi-De Morgan algebras

A characterization of principal congruences of the subvariety C of semi-DeMorgan algebras is given. This characterization is applied to determine the subdirectly irreducible algebras of the variety C and to describe a poset such that the lattice of its order ideals is isomorphic to the lattice of subvarieties of C. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Empirical likelihood for partial linear models

In this paper the empirical likelihood method due to Owen (1988,Biometrika,75, 237–249) is applied to partial linear random models. A nonparametric version of Wilks' theorem is derived. The theorem is then used to construct confidence regions of the parameter vector in the partial linear models, which has correct asymptotic coverage. A simulation study is conducted to compare the empirical likelihood and normal approximation based method.

Iterative Algebras without Projections

We deal with iterative algebras of functions of -valued logic lacking projections, which we call algebras without projections. It is shown that a partially ordered set of algebras of functions of -valued logic, for , without projections contains an interval isomorphic to the lattice of all iterative algebras of functions of -valued logic. It is found out that every algebra without projections is contained in some maximal algebra without projections, which is the stabilizer of a semigroup of non-surjective transformations of the basic set. It is proved that the stabilizer of a semigroup of all monotone non-surjective transformations of a linearly ordered 3-element set is not a maximal algebra without projections, but the stabilizer of a semigroup of all transformations preserving an arbitrary non one-element subset of the basic set is.
