Synthesis and characterization of a novel soluble reactive ladder‐like polysilsesquioxane with side‐chain 2‐(4‐chloromethyl phenyl) ethyl groups

A new kind of soluble structure‐ordered ladder‐like polysilsesquioxane with reactive side‐chain 2‐(4‐chloromethyl phenyl) ethyl groups ( L ) was first synthesized by stepwise coupling polymerization. The monomer, 2‐(4‐chloromethyl phenyl) ethyltrichlorosilane ( M ), was synthesized successfully by hydrosilylation reaction with dicyclopentadienylplatinum(II) chloride (Cp₂PtCl₂) ­catalyst. Monomer and polymer structures were characterized by FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, ²⁹Si‐NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vapor pressure osmometry (VPO) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). This novel reactive ladder‐like polymer has promise potential applications as initiator for atom transfer radical polymerization, and as precursor for a variety of advanced functional polymers.

On the picard group and the brauer group of a real algebraic surface

The map of the Brauer group of a real algebraic surface to the invariant part of the Brauer group of its complexification is studied. In this study, the real cycle map of the Picard group is used. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 67, No. 2, pp. 211–220, February, 2000.     

Measurability of automorphisms of topological groups

Relations between the measurability and continuity of algebraic automorphisms of topological groups depending on the types of groups are examined. Various cases are considered and theorems on the continuity of measurable automorphisms are proved; for instance, such theorems are proved for separable locally compact groups and automorphisms measurable with respect to nonnegative Haar measures. On the other hand, examples of nonmetrizable nonseparable compact groups with Haar measures and of non-locally-compact separable metrizable groups with measures μ quasi-invariant with respect to dense subgroups admittings μ-measurable discontinous automorphisms are given.

The Brauer group of a noncomplete real algebraic surface

The Brauer group of a noncomplete real algebraic surface is calculated. The calculations make use of equivariant cohomology. The resulting formula is similar to the formula for a complete surface, but the proof is substantially different.

Factoring an Infinite Abelian Group by Subsets

By a theorem of L. Rédei if a finite abelian group is a direct product of its subsets such that each subset has a prime number of elements and contains the identity element of the group, then at least one of the factors must be a subgroup. The content of this paper is that this result holds for certain infinite abelian groups, too. Namely, for groups that are direct products of finitely many Prüferian groups and finite cyclic groups of prime power order, belonging to pairwise distinct primes.     

城市综合实力增长的比较

本文基于多个总体的主成分分析方法,对城市综合实力增长的比较进行一些探索性的研究。对我国十八个大城市１９９４年、１９９５年和１９９６年的八个指标用多个总体的主成分分析方法进行分析,通过检验和计算,得到这三个总体的公共主成分子空间。取公共主成分子空间的一正交基作为这三个总体的新的主成分ＰＲＩＮ１的系数,此主成分即表示城市综合实力。计算出各城市任意两年间的综合实力差值,以此作为城市综合实力增长的度量,对城市综合实力增长再作主成分分析,即得到有效的城市综合实力增长的比较方法

Gelfand–Kirillov Dimension for Automorphism Groups of Relatively Free Algebras

Using ideas of our recent work on automorphisms of residually nilpotent relatively free groups, we introduce a new growth function for subgroups of the automorphism groups of relatively free algebras Fⁿ(V) over a field of characteristic zero and the related notion of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, and study their behavior. We prove that, under some natural restrictions, the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the group of tame automorphisms of Fⁿ(V) is equal to the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the algebra Fⁿ(V). We show that, in some cases, the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the group of tame automorphisms of Fⁿ(V) is smaller than the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the whole automorphism group, and calculate the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the automorphism group of Fⁿ(V) for some important varieties V.Partially supported by Grant MM605/96 of the Bulgarian Foundation for Scientific Research.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 16R10, 16P90; secondary 16W20, 17B01, 17B30, 17B40     

The problem of lacunas and analysis on root systems

A lacuna of a linear hyperbolic differential operator is a domain inside its propagation cone where a proper fundamental solution vanishes identically. Huygens' principle for the classical wave equation is the simplest important example of such a phenomenon. The study of lacunas for hyperbolic equations of arbitrary order was initiated by I. G. Petrovsky (1945). Extending and clarifying his results, Atiyah, Bott and Gårding (1970-73) developed a profound and complete theory for hyperbolic operators with constant coefficients. In contrast, much less is known about lacunas for operators with variable coefficients. In the present paper we study this problem for one remarkable class of partial differential operators with singular coefficients. These operators stem from the theory of special functions in several variables related to finite root systems (Coxeter groups). The underlying algebraic structure makes it possible to extend many results of the Atiyah-Bott-Gårding theory. We give a generalization of the classical Herglotz-Petrovsky-Leray formulas expressing the fundamental solution in terms of Abelian integrals over properly constructed cycles in complex projective space. Such a representation allows us to employ the Petrovsky topological condition for testing regular (strong) lacunas for the operators under consideration. Some illustrative examples are constructed. A relation between the theory of lacunas and the problem of classification of commutative rings of partial differential operators is discussed.

     

The second bounded cohomology of an amalgamated free product of groups

We study the second bounded cohomology of an amalgamated free product of groups, and an HNN extension of a group. As an application, we show that a group with infinitely many ends has infinite dimensional second bounded cohomology.
