Correspondences Between 2-Brauer Characters of Solvable Groups

2010

Let G be a finite solvable group and let p be a prime. Let P ∈ Syl p (G) and N = N G (P). We prove that there exists a natural bijection between the 2-Brauer irreducible characters of p′-degree of G and those of N G (P).

Quantum Query Complexity of Boolean Functions with Small On-Sets

2008

The main objective of this paper is to show that the quantum query complexity Q(f) of an N-bit Boolean function f is bounded by a function of a simple and natural parameter, i.e., M = |{x|f(x) = 1}| or the size of f's on-set. We prove that: (i) For $poly(N)\le M\le 2^{N^d}$ for some constant 0 < d < 1, the upper bound of Q(f) is $O(\sqrt{N\log M / \log N})$. This bound is tight, namely there is a Boolean function f such that $Q(f) = \Omega(\sqrt{N\log M / \log N})$. (ii) For the same range of M, the (also tight) lower bound of Q(f) is $\Omega(\sqrt{N})$. (iii) The average value of Q(f) is bounded from above and below by $Q(f) = O(\log M +\sqrt{N})$ and $Q(f) = \Omega (\log M/\log N+ \sqrt{N…

When can an equational simple graph be generated by hyperedge replacement?

1998

Infinite hypergraphs with sources arise as the canonical solutions of certain systems of recursive equations written with operations on hypergraphs. There are basically two different sets of such operations known from the literature, HR and VR. VR is strictly more powerful than HR on simple hypergraphs. Necessary conditions are known ensuring that a VR-equational simple hypergraph is also HR-equational. We prove that two of them, namely having finite tree-width or not containing the infinite bipartite graph, are also sufficient. This shows that equational hypergraphs behave like context-free sets of finite hypergraphs.

A simple proof of the polylog counting ability of first-order logic

2007

The counting ability of weak formalisms (e.g., determining the number of 1's in a string of length N ) is of interest as a measure of their expressive power, and also resorts to complexity-theoretic motivations: the more we can count the closer we get to real computing power. The question was investigated in several papers in complexity theory and in weak arithmetic around 1985. In each case, the considered formalism (AC 0 -circuits, first-order logic, Δ 0 ) was shown to be able to count up to a polylogarithmic number. An essential part of the proofs is the construction of a 1-1 mapping from a small subset of {0, ..., N - 1} into a small initial segment. In each case the expressibility of …

A partition of characters associated to nilpotent subgroups

1999

IfG is a finite solvable group andH is a maximal nilpotent subgroup ofG containingF(G), we show that there is a canonical basisP(G|H) of the space of class functions onG vanishing off anyG-conjugate ofH which consists of characters. ViaP(G|H) it is possible to partition the irreducible characters ofG into “blocks”. These behave like Brauerp-blocks and a Fong theory for them can be developed.

On partial CAP-subgroups of finite groups

2015

Abstract Given a chief factor H / K of a finite group G, we say that a subgroup A of G avoids H / K if H ∩ A = K ∩ A ; if H A = K A , then we say that A covers H / K . If A either covers or avoids the chief factors of some given chief series of G, we say that A is a partial CAP-subgroup of G. Assume that G has a Sylow p-subgroup of order exceeding p k . If every subgroup of order p k , where k ≥ 1 , and every subgroup of order 4 (when p k = 2 and the Sylow 2-subgroups are non-abelian) are partial CAP-subgroups of G, then G is p-soluble of p-length at most 1.

On the structure of the set of equivalent norms on ℓ1 with the fixed point property

2012

Abstract Let A be the set of all equivalent norms on l 1 which satisfy the FPP. We prove that A contains rays. In fact, every renorming in l 1 which verifies condition (⁎) in Theorem 2.1 is the starting point of a (closed or open) ray composed by equivalent norms on l 1 with the FPP. The standard norm ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 or P.K. Linʼs norm defined in Lin (2008) [12] are examples of such norms. Moreover, we study some topological properties of the set A with respect to some equivalent metrics defined on the set of all norms on l 1 equivalent to ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 .

Poincaré Week in Göttingen, 22–28 April 1909

2018

When Paul Wolfskehl died in 1906, his will established a prize for the first mathematician who could supply a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, or give a counterexample refuting it. The interest from this prize money was later used to bring world-renowned mathematicians to Gottingen to deliver a series of lectures. Hilbert was apparently very pleased with this arrangement, and once jested that the only thing that kept him from proving Fermat’s famous conjecture was the thought of killing the goose that laid these golden eggs.

The minimal number of characters over a normal p-subgroup

2007

Abstract If N is a normal p-subgroup of a finite group G and θ ∈ Irr ( N ) is a G-invariant irreducible character of N, then the number | Irr ( G | θ ) | of irreducible characters of G over θ is always greater than or equal to the number k p ′ ( G / N ) of conjugacy classes of G / N consisting of p ′ -elements. In this paper, we investigate when there is equality.
