Additivity of affine designs
2020
We show that any affine block design $$\mathcal{D}=(\mathcal{P},\mathcal{B})$$ is a subset of a suitable commutative group $${\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal{D},$$ with the property that a k-subset of $$\mathcal{P}$$ is a block of $$\mathcal{D}$$ if and only if its k elements sum up to zero. As a consequence, the group of automorphisms of any affine design $$\mathcal{D}$$ is the group of automorphisms of $${\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal{D}$$ that leave $$\mathcal P$$ invariant. Whenever k is a prime p, $${\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal{D}$$ is an elementary abelian p-group.
Free sequences and the tightness of pseudoradial spaces
2019
Let F(X) be the supremum of cardinalities of free sequences in X. We prove that the radial character of every Lindelof Hausdorff almost radial space X and the set-tightness of every Lindelof Hausdorff space are always bounded above by F(X). We then improve a result of Dow, Juhasz, Soukup, Szentmiklossy and Weiss by proving that if X is a Lindelof Hausdorff space, and $$X_\delta $$ denotes the $$G_\delta $$ topology on X then $$t(X_\delta ) \le 2^{t(X)}$$ . Finally, we exploit this to prove that if X is a Lindelof Hausdorff pseudoradial space then $$F(X_\delta ) \le 2^{F(X)}$$ .
Characters, bilinear forms and solvable groups
2016
Abstract We prove a number of results about the ordinary and Brauer characters of finite solvable groups in characteristic 2, by defining and using the concept of the extended nucleus of a real irreducible character. In particular we show that the Isaacs canonical lift of a real irreducible Brauer character has Frobenius–Schur indicator +1. We also show that the principal indecomposable module corresponding to a real irreducible Brauer character affords a quadratic geometry if and only if each extended nucleus is a split extension of a nucleus.
Cardinal estimates involving the weak Lindelöf game
2021
AbstractWe show that if X is a first-countable Urysohn space where player II has a winning strategy in the game $$G^{\omega _1}_1({\mathcal {O}}, {\mathcal {O}}_D)$$ G 1 ω 1 ( O , O D ) (the weak Lindelöf game of length $$\omega _1$$ ω 1 ) then X has cardinality at most continuum. This may be considered a partial answer to an old question of Bell, Ginsburg and Woods. It is also the best result of this kind since there are Hausdorff first-countable spaces of arbitrarily large cardinality where player II has a winning strategy even in the weak Lindelöf game of countable length. We also tackle the problem of finding a bound on the cardinality of a first-countable space where player II has a wi…
Finitary shadows of compact subgroups of $$S(\omega )$$
2020
AbstractLet LF be the lattice of all subgroups of the group $$SF(\omega )$$SF(ω) of all finitary permutations of the set of natural numbers. We consider subgroups of $$SF(\omega )$$SF(ω) of the form $$C\cap SF(\omega )$$C∩SF(ω), where C is a compact subgroup of the group of all permutations. In particular, we study their distribution among elements of LF. We measure this using natural relations of orthogonality and almost containedness. We also study complexity of the corresponding families of compact subgroups of $$S(\omega )$$S(ω).
On a paper of Beltrán and Shao about coprime action
2020
Abstract Assume that A and G are finite groups of coprime orders such that A acts on G via automorphisms. Let p be a prime. The following coprime action version of a well-known theorem of Ito about the structure of a minimal non-p-nilpotent groups is proved: if every maximal A-invariant subgroup of G is p-nilpotent, then G is p-soluble. If, moreover, G is not p-nilpotent, then G must be soluble. Some earlier results about coprime action are consequences of this theorem.
Computing the ℤ2-Cocharacter of 3 × 3 Matrices of Odd Degree
2013
Let F be a field of characteristic 0 and A = M 2, 1(F) the algebra of 3 × 3 matrices over F endowed with the only non trivial ℤ2-grading. Aver'yanov in [1] determined a set of generators for the T 2-ideal of graded identities of A. Here we study the identities in variables of homogeneous degree 1 via the representation theory of the symmetric group, and we determine the decomposition of the corresponding character into irreducibles.
Correspondences of Brauer characters and Sylow subgroup normalizers
2021
Abstract Let p > 3 and q ≠ p be primes, let G be a finite q-solvable group and let P ∈ Syl p ( G ) . Then G has a unique irreducible q-Brauer character of p ′ -degree lying over 1 P if and only if N G ( P ) / P is a q-group. One direction of this result follows from a natural McKay bijection of p ′ -degree irreducible q-Brauer characters, which is obtained under suitable conditions.
Rank two aCM bundles on the del Pezzo fourfold of degree 6 and its general hyperplane section
2018
International audience; In the present paper we completely classify locally free sheaves of rank 2 with vanishing intermediate cohomology modules on the image of the Segre embedding $\mathbb{P}^2$ x $\mathbb{P}^2 \subseteq \mathbb{P}^8$ and its general hyperplane sections.Such a classification extends similar already known results regarding del Pezzo varieties with Picard numbers 1 and 3 and dimension at least 3.
Complex multiplication, Griffiths-Yukawa couplings, and rigidity for families of hypersurfaces
2003
Let M(d,n) be the moduli stack of hypersurfaces of degree d > n in the complex projective n-space, and let M(d,n;1) be the sub-stack, parameterizing hypersurfaces obtained as a d fold cyclic covering of the projective n-1 space, ramified over a hypersurface of degree d. Iterating this construction, one obtains M(d,n;r). We show that M(d,n;1) is rigid in M(d,n), although the Griffiths-Yukawa coupling degenerates for d<2n. On the other hand, for all d>n the sub-stack M(d,n;2) deforms. We calculate the exact length of the Griffiths-Yukawa coupling over M(d,n;r), and we construct a 4-dimensional family of quintic hypersurfaces, and a dense set of points in the base, where the fibres ha…
