Algebras of sets generating non-barrelled spaces

IfA is a -algebra on setX, thenl ₀ (X,A) is a barrelled space of class ₀. IfA is an algebra, there are conditions which imply thatl ₀ (X,A) is suprabarelled. Here, wheneverA is an algebra, we give conditions forl ₀ (X,A) to be not barrelled which are related with the existence of non-trivial convergent sequences.Supported in part by DGICYT, project PB91-0407 and by the Institució Valenciana d'Estudis i Investigació, project 023.     

Right distributive quasigroups on algebraic varieties

In this paper we develop a structure theory of algebraic right distributive quasigroups which correspond to closed and connected conjugacy classes generating algebraic Fischer groups (in the sense of [6]) such that the mappingx x ^–1 ax, fora , is an automorphism of (as variety). We also give examples of algebraic Fischer groups where this does not happen. It becomes clear that the class of algebraic right distributive quasigroups has nice properties concerning subquasigroups, normal subquasigroups and direct product.We give a complete classification of one- and two-dimensional as well as of minimal algebraic right distributive quasigroups.     

On input/output stabilization of singular integrodifferential systems

In this paper we consider a class of systems described by singular integrodifferential equations. This type of systems appear, for example, in the modeling of certain aeroelastic control problems. We study these systems in frequency domain framework and show the existence of finite-dimensional stabilizing controllers. An algorithmic procedure is outlined for the construction of such controllers. In order to illustrate the numerical aspects of this algorithm, we present an example involving the classical Theodorsen model of an airfoil, which fits in the class of systems considered here.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grants DMS-8907019 and MSS-9203418.     

Shift-coupling in continuous time

Summary The result linking shift-coupling to time-average total variation convergence and to the invariant -field is extended to continuous time and an analogous result established linking -couplings to smooth total variation convergence and to a smooth tail -field. Shift- and -coupling inequalities are presented.     

Pattern transfer and photoluminescence damage assessment of deep-submicrometer features etched by photon-induced cryoetching

We present a study of pattern-transfer and etch-induced damage in photon-induced cryoetching. Features with effective radii as small as 100 nm have been formed in both bulk and layered GaAs/AlGaAs materials. A measurement of the photoluminescence of etch-defined deep- submicrometer structures material suggests that this form of etching results in minimal process-induced damage. Modeling of the luminescence vs feature size for these features shows that the luminescence is limited only by carrier diffusion and non-radiative surface recombination.     

On functions having Cauchy differences in some prescribed sets

Summary AssumeE is a real topological vector space,F is a real Banach space,K is a discrete subgroup ofF andC is a symmetric, convex and compact subset ofF such thatK (6C) = {0}. If a functionh:E F is continuous at at least one point andh(x + y) – h(x) – h(y) K + C for allx, y E, then there exists a continuous linear functiona:E F such thath(x) – a(x) K + C for everyx E.     

There are uncountably many universal topological planes

We prove the existence of uncountably many nonisomorphic topological projective planes, each universal in the sense that it contains an isomorphic copy of every pseudoline arrangement.     

Three distinct distances in the plane

For n6 all sets of n points in the plane with three distinct distances are determined.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Laszlo Fejes Töth on the occasion of his eightieth birthday     

The Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem Plus Countable Choice Do Not Imply Dependent Choice

Two Fraenkel-Mostowski models are constructed in which the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem is true. In both models, AC for countable sets is true, but AC for sets of cardinality 2 and the 2m = m principle are both false. The Principle of Dependent Choices is true in the first model, but false in the second. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E25, 03E35, 04A25.     

Topological hochschild homology of extensions of ?/p? by polynomials, and of ?[x]/(xn) and ?[x]/(xn?1)

Topological Hochschild homology is calculated for the rings /p[x]/(f(x)) (where p is prime and f(x) /p[x] any polynomial), [x]/(x ⁿ) and [x]/(x ⁿ–1). A spectral sequence argument is used for calculating the homology of the topological Hochschild homology spectrum, from which its stable homotopy structure can be read off since the spectrum is known for a priori reasons to be a restricted product of Eilenberg-MacLane spectra.
