Description of the Real von Neumann Algebras with Abelian Skew-Symmetric Part

In this note we describe (up to isomorphism) the real von Neiman algebras R with Abelian skew-symmetric part , i.e., such that xy-yx=0 for any .     

The Intersection of Opposed Big Cells in The Real Flag Variety of Type G2

We compute the Euler characteristics of the individual connectedcomponents of the intersection of two opposed big cells in thereal flag variety of type G₂, verifying a conjecture of Rietsch[6]. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: primary 14M15; secondary20G20.     

The Renormalization Group and Its Finite Lattice Approximations

We investigate finite lattice approximations to the Wilson renormalization group in models of unconstrained spins. We discuss first the properties of the renormalization group transformation (RGT) that control the accuracy of this type of approximation and explain different methods and techniques to practically identify them. We also discuss how to determine the anomalous dimension of the field. We apply our considerations to a linear sigma model in two dimensions in the domain of attraction of the Ising fixed point using a Bell–Wilson RGT. We are able to identify optimal RGTs which allow accurate computations of quantities such as critical exponents, fixed-point couplings and eigenvectors with modest statistics. We finally discuss the advantages and limitations of this type of approach.     

Complex Zeros of Algebraic Polynomial with Non-Zero Mean Random Coefficients

In this paper we obtain a formula for the average density of the distribution of complex zeros of an algebraic polynomial with random coefficients. The coefficients are assumed independent identical normally distributed random variables with mean and variance ². The value of the average density for the case of =0 and ²=1 was obtained previously. Some limits of the distribution of the complex zeros are provided using the presented formula.     

Computation of generalized real radicals of polynomial ideals

For an ordered field (K,T) and an idealI of the polynomial ring , the construction of the generalized real radical ofI is investigated. When (K,T) satisfies some computational requirements, a method of computing is presented.

Some remarks on the real rank of non-unital C*-algebras

Indivisibility of Class Numbers of Real Quadratic Fields

Let D denote the fundamental discriminant of a real quadratic field, and let h(D) denote its associated class number. If p is prime, then the Cohen and Lenstra Heuristics give a probability that ph(D). If pgt;3 is prime, then subject to a mild condition, we show that

Positivity Preserving Forms have the Fatou Property

We prove that if (,D) is a positivity preserving form on L ² (E;m), and if (u _n)_n is a sequence in D() converging m-almost everywhere to u L ² (E;m), then (u,u) lim inf_n (u _n ,u _n ).     

On random algebraic polynomials

This paper provides asymptotic estimates for the expected number of real zeros and -level crossings of a random algebraic polynomial of the form , where are independent standard normal random variables and is a constant independent of . It is shown that these asymptotic estimates are much greater than those for algebraic polynomials of the form .
