Fixed point spaces, primitive character degrees and conjugacy class sizes

2006

Let G be a finite group that acts on a nonzero finite dimensional vector space V over an arbitrary field. Assume that V is completely reducible as a G-module, and that G fixes no nonzero vector of V. We show that some element g ∈ G has a small fixed-point space in V. Specifically, we prove that we can choose g so that dim C V (g) < (1/p)dim V, where p is the smallest prime divisor of |G|.

Irreducibility of Hurwitz spaces of coverings with one special fiber

2006

Abstract Let Y be a smooth, projective complex curve of genus g ⩾ 1. Let d be an integer ⩾ 3, let e = {e1, e2,..., er} be a partition of d and let | e | = Σi=1r(ei − 1). In this paper we study the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize coverings of degree d of Y branched in n points of which n − 1 are points of simple ramification and one is a special point whose local monodromy has cyclic type e and furthermore the coverings have full monodromy group Sd. We prove the irreducibility of these Hurwitz spaces when n − 1 + | e | ⩾ 2d, thus generalizing a result of Graber, Harris and Starr [A note on Hurwitz schemes of covers of a positive genus curve, Preprint, math. AG/0205056].

On Hurwitz spaces of coverings with one special fiber

2009

Let X X' Y be a covering of smooth, projective complex curves such that p is a degree 2 etale covering and f is a degree d covering, with monodromy group Sd, branched in n + 1 points one of which is a special point whose local monodromy has cycle type given by the partition e = (e1,...,er) of d. We study such coverings whose monodromy group is either W(Bd) or wN(W(Bd))(G1)w-1 for some w in W(Bd), where W(Bd) is the Weyl group of type Bd, G1 is the subgroup of W(Bd) generated by reflections with respect to the long roots ei - ej and N(W(Bd))(G1) is the normalizer of G1. We prove that in both cases the corresponding Hurwitz spaces are not connected and hence are not irreducible. In fact, we s…

Segre and the Foundations of Geometry: From Complex Projective Geometry to Dual Numbers

2016

In 1886 Corrado Segre wrote to Felix Klein about his intention to study ‘geometrie projective pure’, completing and developing the work of von Staudt. He would continue this research project throughout the whole of his scientific life. In 1889, following a suggestion of Segre, Mario Pieri published his translation of the Geometrie der Lage, and from 1889 to 1890 Segre published four important papers, “Un nuovo campo di ricerche geometriche”, in which he completely developed complex projective geometry, considering new mathematical objects such as antiprojectivities and studying the Hermitian forms from a geometrical point of view with the related ‘hyperalgebraic varieties’. Segre developed …

Iterationsverfahren höherer Ordnung in Banach-Räumen

1969

The Newton process for operator equations in say a linear normed complete space converges under certain hypothesis about the Frechet-derivatives of the operator with at least the order two. There are different ways to improve this Newton process. For instance you obtain a process of order three if you add a correction element containing the second Frechet-derivative of the operator [1]. In the following note we will generalize this idea. In a recursive manner -- by adding higher derivatives -- we will construct iterative processes of any orderk (k > 1). A general theorem due toCollatz provides us error estimates for this processes. Last we will illustrate the processes by several examples.

Quasi-Projective Varieties

2000

We have developed the theory of affine and projective varieties separately. We now introduce the concept of a quasi-projective variety, a term that encompasses both cases. More than just a convenience, the notion of a quasi-projective variety will eventually allow us to think of an algebraic variety as an intrinsically defined geometric object, free from any particular embedding in affine or projective space.

On the derived category of the Cayley plane II

2014

We find a full strongly exceptional collection for the Cayley plane OP2, the simplest rational homogeneous space of the exceptional group E6. This collection, closely related to the one given by the second author in [J. Algebra, 330:177-187, 2011], consists of 27 vector bundles which are homogeneous for the group E6, and is a Lefschetz collection with respect to the minimal equivariant embedding of OP2.

Partial $\ast$-algebras of distributions

2005

The problem of multiplying elements of the conjugate dual of certain kind of commutative generalized Hilbert algebras, which are dense in the set of C ∞ -vectors of a self-adjoint operator, is considered in the framework of the so-called duality method. The multiplication is defined by identifying each distribution with a multiplication operator acting on the natural rigged Hilbert space. Certain spaces, that are an

On the group of the automorphisms of some algebraic systems

1968

Within a framework of general algebra we firstly formulate a proposition on the group of the automorphisms of some irreducible algebrae (id est algebrae without proper non trivial subalgebrae). This proposition includes as particular cases the uniqueness of the automorphisms of the rational field and the Burnside theorem on the commutant of an irreducible set of operators of a finite dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field. Afterwards we apply the general proposition to modules with irreducible sets of semilinear operators and we obtain a theorem which generalises from several points of view the Burnside theorem. Finally we derive as an application a proposition which sp…
