Exponential Codimension Growth of PI Algebras: An Exact Estimate
1999
Abstract LetAbe an associative PI-algebra over a fieldFof characteristic zero. By studying the exponential behavior of the sequence of codimensions {cn(A)} ofA, we prove thatInv(A)=limn→∞ c n ( A ) always exists and is an integer. We also give an explicit way for computing such integer: letBbe a finite dimensionalZ2-graded algebra whose Grassmann envelopeG(B) satisfies the same identities ofA; thenInv(A)=Inv(G(B))=dim C(0)+dim C(1)whereC(0)+C(1)is a suitableZ2-graded semisimple subalgebra ofB.
Extension of a Schur theorem to groups with a central factor with a bounded section rank
2013
Abstract A well-known result reported by Schur states that the derived subgroup of a group is finite provided its central factor is finite. Here we show that if the p-section rank of the central factor of a locally generalized radical group is bounded, then so is the p-section rank of its derived subgroup. We also give an explicit expression for this bound.
On the number of conjugacy classes of zeros of characters
2004
Letm be a fixed non-negative integer. In this work we try to answer the following question: What can be said about a (finite) groupG if all of its irreducible (complex) characters vanish on at mostm conjugacy classes? The classical result of Burnside about zeros of characters says thatG is abelian ifm=0, so it is reasonable to expect that the structure ofG will somehow reflect the fact that the irreducible characters vanish on a bounded number of classes. The same question can also be posed under the weaker hypothesis thatsome irreducible character ofG hasm classes of zeros. For nilpotent groups we shall prove that the order is bounded by a function ofm in the first case but only the derive…
Optimization problem in inductive inference
1995
Algorithms recognizing to which of n classes some total function belongs are constructed (n > 2). In this construction strategies determining to which of two classes the function belongs are used as subroutines. Upper and lower bounds for number of necessary strategies are obtained in several models: FIN- and EX-identification and EX-identification with limited number of mindchanges. It is proved that in EX-identification it is necessary to use n(n−1)/2 strategies. In FIN-identification [3n/2 − 2] strategies are necessary and sufficient, in EX-identification with one mindchange- n log2n+o(n log2n) strategies.
The Neumann Problem for the Total Variation Flow
2004
This chapter is devoted to prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for the minimizing total variation flow with Neumann boundary conditions, namely $$ \left\{ \begin{gathered} \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial t}} = div\left( {\frac{{Du}} {{\left| {Du} \right|}}} \right) in Q = (0,\infty ) \times \Omega , \hfill \\ \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial \eta }} = 0 on S = (0,\infty ) \times \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ u(0,x) = u_0 (x) in x \in \Omega , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $$ (2.1) where Ω is a bounded set in ℝ N with Lipschitz continuous boundary ∂ Ω and u0 ∈ L1(Ω). As we saw in the previous chapter, this partial differential equation appears when one uses the steepest descent method …
Some Aspects of Vector-Valued Singular Integrals
2009
Let A, B be Banach spaces and \(1 < p < \infty. \; T\) is said to be a (p, A, B)- CalderoLon–Zygmund type operator if it is of weak type (p, p), and there exist a Banach space E, a bounded bilinear map \(u: E \times A \rightarrow B,\) and a locally integrable function k from \(\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \backslash \{(x, x): x \in \mathbb{R}^n\}\) into E such that $$T\;f(x) = \int u(k(x, y), f(y))dy$$ for every A-valued simple function f and \(x \notin \; supp \; f.\)
Hilbert Space Embeddings for Gelfand–Shilov and Pilipović Spaces
2017
We consider quasi-Banach spaces that lie between a Gelfand–Shilov space, or more generally, Pilipovi´c space, \(\mathcal{H}\), and its dual, \(\mathcal{H}^\prime\) . We prove that for such quasi-Banach space \(\mathcal{B}\), there are convenient Hilbert spaces, \(\mathcal{H}_{k}, k=1,2\), with normalized Hermite functions as orthonormal bases and such that \(\mathcal{B}\) lies between \(\mathcal{H}_1\; \mathrm{and}\;\mathcal{H}_2\), and the latter spaces lie between \(\mathcal{H}\; \mathrm{and}\;\mathcal{H}^\prime\).
Iterated Conditionals and Characterization of P-Entailment
2021
In this paper we deepen, in the setting of coherence, some results obtained in recent papers on the notion of p-entailment of Adams and its relationship with conjoined and iterated conditionals. We recall that conjoined and iterated conditionals are suitably defined in the framework of conditional random quantities. Given a family \(\mathcal {F}\) of n conditional events \(\{E_{1}|H_{1},\ldots , E_{n}|H_{n}\}\) we denote by \(\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {F})=(E_{1}|H_{1})\wedge \cdots \wedge (E_{n}|H_{n})\) the conjunction of the conditional events in \(\mathcal F\). We introduce the iterated conditional \(\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {F}_{2})|\mathcal {C}(\mathcal {F}_{1})\), where \(\mathcal {F}_{1}\)…
The Bourgain property and convex hulls
2007
Let (Ω, Σ, μ) be a complete probability space and let X be a Banach space. We consider the following problem: Given a function f: Ω X for which there is a norming set B ⊂ BX * such that Zf,B = {x * ○ f: x * ∈ B } is uniformly integrable and has the Bourgain property, does it follow that f is Birkhoff integrable? It turns out that this question is equivalent to the following one: Given a pointwise bounded family ℋ ⊂ ℝΩ with the Bourgain property, does its convex hull co(ℋ) have the Bourgain property? With the help of an example of D. H. Fremlin, we make clear that both questions have negative answer in general. We prove that a function f: Ω X is scalarly measurable provided that there is a n…
Soluble groups with their centralizer factor groups of bounded rank
2007
Abstract For a group class X , a group G is said to be a C X -group if the factor group G / C G ( g G ) ∈ X for all g ∈ G , where C G ( g G ) is the centralizer in G of the normal closure of g in G . For the class F f of groups of finite order less than or equal to f , a classical result of B.H. Neumann [Groups with finite classes of conjugate elements, Proc. London Math. Soc. 1 (1951) 178–187] states that if G ∈ C F f , the commutator group G ′ belongs to F f ′ for some f ′ depending only on f . We prove that a similar result holds for the class S r ( d ) , the class of soluble groups of derived length at most d which have Prufer rank at most r . Namely, if G ∈ C S r ( d ) , then G ′ ∈ S d…
