On orderability of fibred knot groups
2003
It is known that knot groups are right-orderable, and that many of them are not bi-orderable. Here we show that certain bred knots in S 3 (or in a homology sphere) do have bi-orderable fundamental group. In particular, this holds for bred knots, such as 41, for which the Alexander polynomial has all roots real and positive. This is an application of the construction of orderings of groups, which are moreover invariant with respect to a certain automorphism.
Deuring’s mass formula of a Mumford family
2015
We study the Newton polygon jumping locus of a Mumford family in char p p . Our main result says that, under a mild assumption on p p , the jumping locus consists of only supersingular points and its cardinality is equal to ( p r − 1 ) ( g − 1 ) (p^r-1)(g-1) , where r r is the degree of the defining field of the base curve of a Mumford family in char p p and g g is the genus of the curve. The underlying technique is the p p -adic Hodge theory.
Quasianalytic Denjoy-Carleman classes and o-minimality
2003
We show that the expansion of the real field generated by the functions of a quasianalytic Denjoy-Carleman class is model complete and o-minimal, provided that the class satisfies certain closure conditions. Some of these structures do not admit analytic cell decomposition, and they show that there is no largest o-minimal expansion of the real field.
Bounded Bi-ideals and Linear Recurrence
2013
Bounded bi-ideals are a subclass of uniformly recurrent words. We introduce the notion of completely bounded bi-ideals by imposing a restriction on their generating base sequences. We prove that a bounded bi-ideal is linearly recurrent if and only if it is completely bounded.
Lifting paths on quotient spaces
2009
Abstract Let X be a compactum and G an upper semi-continuous decomposition of X such that each element of G is the continuous image of an ordered compactum. If the quotient space X / G is the continuous image of an ordered compactum, under what conditions is X also the continuous image of an ordered compactum? Examples around the (non-metric) Hahn–Mazurkiewicz Theorem show that one must place severe conditions on G if one wishes to obtain positive results. We prove that the compactum X is the image of an ordered compactum when each g ∈ G has 0-dimensional boundary. We also consider the case when G has only countably many non-degenerate elements. These results extend earlier work of the firs…
Spaces of typen on partially ordered sets
1989
This paper contains a generalized approach to incidence geometry on partially ordered sets. A difference to the usual geometrical concepts is that points may have different size. Our main result states that a large class of spaces allows lattice theoretic characterizations. Especially, a generalized version of the Veblen-Young axiom of projective geometry has a lattice theoretic equivalent, called then-generation property (which is a generalization of the ‘Verbindungssatz’). Modularity and distributivity of a lattice of subspaces are reflected in the underlying space. Finally we give specializations and examples.
Differential equations over polynomially bounded o-minimal structures
2002
We investigate the asymptotic behavior at +∞ of non-oscillatory solutions to differential equations y' = G(t, y), t > a, where G: R 1+l → R l is definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure. In particular, we show that the Pfaffian closure of a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure on the real field is levelled.
Blocking sets and partial spreads in finite projective spaces
1980
A t-blocking set in the finite projective space PG(d, q) with d≥t+1 is a set $$\mathfrak{B}$$ of points such that any (d−t)-dimensional subspace is incident with a point of $$\mathfrak{B}$$ and no t-dimensional subspace is contained in $$\mathfrak{B}$$ . It is shown that | $$\mathfrak{B}$$ |≥q t +...+1+q t−1√q and the examples of minimal cardinality are characterized. Using this result it is possible to prove upper and lower bounds for the cardinality of partial t-spreads in PG(d, q). Finally, examples of blocking sets and maximal partial spreads are given.
Sigma-fragmentability and the property SLD in C(K) spaces
2009
Abstract We characterize two topological properties in Banach spaces of type C ( K ) , namely, being σ-fragmented by the norm metric and having a countable cover by sets of small local norm-diameter (briefly, the property norm-SLD). We apply our results to deduce that C p ( K ) is σ-fragmented by the norm metric when K belongs to a certain class of Rosenthal compacta as well as to characterize the property norm-SLD in C p ( K ) in case K is scattered.
Zur Hyperebenenalgebraisierung in desargues-Schen projektiven Verbandsgeometrien
1991
As a completion and extension of a result of A. Day and D. Pickering [5] we obtain the following structure theorem in the conceptual frame of projective lattice geometries: In a Desarguesian projective geometry the subgeometry of every at least one-dimensional hyperplane is module induced.
