Complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators

1986

The aim of this paper is the construction of complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators and the study of the analytic properties of the corresponding kernels kS (x,y). For x=y, the case of principal interest, the domain of holomorphy and the singularities of kS (x,x) are shown to depend on the asymptotic expansion of the symbol. For classical symbols, kS (x,x) is known to be meromorphic on ℂ with simple poles in a set of equidistant points on the real axis. In the more general cases considered here, the singularities may be distributed over a half plane and kS (x,x) can not always be extended to337-2. An example is given where kS (x,x) has a vertical line as natural boundary.

Algebra Without Context Is Empty, Visualizations Without Concepts Are Blind

2018

In the acquisition and formalization of mathematical concepts, the transition between algebraic and geometric representations and the use of different modes of representation contextualizes abstract algebra. Regrettably, the role of geometry is often limited to the visualization of algebraic facts and figurative memory aids. Such visualizations are blind for the underlying concepts, since transitions between concepts in different representations assume the existence of symbols, language, rules and operations in both systems. The history of mathematics offers contexts to develop geometrical language and intuition in areas currently being taught in school in a purely algebraic fashion. The ex…

On mutually permutable products of finite groups

2005

Abstract In this paper a structural theorem about mutually permutable products of finite groups is obtained. This result is used to derive some results on mutually permutable products of groups whose chief factors are simple. Some earlier results on mutually permutable products of supersoluble groups appear as particular cases.

Codimension growth of special simple Jordan algebras

2009

Let $R$ be a special simple Jordan algebra over a field of characteristic zero. We exhibit a noncommutative Jordan polynomial $f$ multialternating on disjoint sets of variables which is not a polynomial identity of $R$. We then study the growth of the polynomial identities of the Jordan algebra $R$ through an analysis of its sequence of Jordan codimensions. By exploiting the basic properties of the polynomials $f$, we are able to compute the exponential rate of growth of the sequence of Jordan codimensions of $R$ and prove that it equals the dimension of the Jordan algebra over its center. We also show that for any finite dimensional special Jordan algebra, such exponential rate of growth c…

Confined subgroups in periodic simple finitary linear groups

2002

A subgroupX of the locally finite groupG is said to beconfined, if there exists a finite subgroupF≤G such thatX g∩F≠1 for allg∈G. Since there seems to be a certain correspondence between proper confined subgroups inG and non-trivial ideals in the complex group algebra ℂG, we determine the confined subgroups of periodic simple finitary linear groups in this paper.

Noether’s Early Contributions to Modern Algebra

2020

As described in preceding chapters, Noether’s work on invariant theory broke new ground that led the Gottingen mathematicians, but first and foremost Hilbert, to invite her to habilitate there.

Sequential formula translation

1983

The syntax of an algorithmic language such as ALGOL is conveniently described as a sequence of states indicated by an element called cellar. Transitions are controlled by admissible state- s ymbol pairs which may be represented by a transition matrix. This description of syntax furnishes at the same time an extremely simple rule for translating into machine programs statements in the algorithmic language. Sequential treatment, however, is not feasible in the case of certain optimizing processes such as recursive address calculation.

Existence of doubling measures via generalised nested cubes

2012

Working on doubling metric spaces, we construct generalised dyadic cubes adapting ultrametric structure. If the space is complete, then the existence of such cubes and the mass distribution principle lead into a simple proof for the existence of doubling measures. As an application, we show that for each $\epsilon>0$ there is a doubling measure having full measure on a set of packing dimension at most $\epsilon$.

A geometrical criterion for nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for some third-order two-point boundary value problems

2020

We give a simple geometrical criterion for the nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for a certain type of third-order two-point boundary value problem in terms of the behavior of nonlinearity in the equation. We also provide examples to illustrate the applicability of our results.
