Symmetric Surfaces with Many Singularities

2004

Abstract Let G ⊂ SO(4) denote a finite subgroup containing the Heisenberg group. In this paper we classify all such groups, we find the dimension of the spaces of G-invariant polynomials and we give equations for the generators whenever the space has dimension two. Then we complete the study of the corresponding G-invariant pencils of surfaces in ℙ3 which we started in Sarti [Sarti, A. (2000). Pencils of symmetric surfaces in ℙ3(C). J. Algebra 246:429–452]. It turns out that we have five more pencils, two of them containing surfaces with nodes.

Generalizations of Clausen's formula and algebraic transformations of Calabi-Yau differential equations

2011

AbstractWe provide certain unusual generalizations of Clausen's and Orr's theorems for solutions of fourth-order and fifth-order generalized hypergeometric equations. As an application, we present several examples of algebraic transformations of Calabi–Yau differential equations.

Examples of improjective operators

2000

It has been an open question for some time whether improjective operators are always inessential. Here we give some examples that answer in the negative this question as well as some other related ones, posed in [2, 3, 11, 12]. The description of the examples uses a indecomposable space, constructed by Gowers and Maurey [5], and a characterization of the indecomposable Banach spaces in terms of improjective operators.

Large orbits ofp-groups on characters and applications to character degrees

2005

We prove that if ap-groupA acts on a solvablep′-groupG then there is a “large” orbit on the ordinary complex irreducible characters ofG. As a consequence of this theorem we obtain results that relate ordinary and Brauer character degrees.

POSITIVE DEFINITE FUNCTIONS OF DIAGONAL LIMITS OF FINITE ALTERNATING GROUPS

2004

The normalized positive definite class functions are determined for all those direct limits of finite alternating groups for which the embeddings are natural in the sense that every non-trivial -orbit in is natural.

The polyhedral Hodge number $h^{2,1}$ and vanishing of obstructions

2000

We prove a vanishing theorem for the Hodge number $h^{2,1}$ of projective toric varieties provided by a certain class of polytopes. We explain how this Hodge number also gives information about the deformation theory of the toric Gorenstein singularity derived from the same polytope. In particular, the vanishing theorem for $h^{2,1}$ implies that these deformations are unobstructed.

A class of unitals of order q which can be embedded in two different planes of order q2

1987

By deriving the desarguesian plane of order q2 for every prime power q a unital of order q is constructed which can be embedded in both the Hall plane and the dual of the Hall plane of order q2 which are non-isomorphic projective planes. The representation of translation planes in the fourdimensional projective space of J. Andre and F. Buekenhouts construction of unitals in these planes are used. It is shown that the full automorphism groups of these unitals are just the collineation groups inherited from the classical unitals.

Kollineationen und Schliessungssätze für Ebene Faserungen

1979

Every affine central collineation of a translation plane π induces a special collineation of the projective space π spanned by the spreadF belonging to π. Here the relations between these special collineations of π and certain incidence propositions inF are investigated; so new proofs are given for some characterisations of (A,B)-regular spreads included in [7].

Tensor product characterizations of mixed intersections of non quasianalytic classes and kernel theorems

2009

Mixed intersections of non quasi-analytic classes have been studied in [12]. Here we obtain tensor product representations of these spaces that lead to kernel theorems as well as to tensor product representations of intersections of non quasi-analytic classes on product of open or of compact sets (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
