Observable radizielle Untergruppen von halbeinfachen algebraischen Gruppen

1979

Sei G eine affine algebraische Gruppe, definiert tiber einem algebraisch abgeschlossenen K6rper k von beliebiger Charakteristik. Die observablen Untergruppen von G sind die Untergruppen, die als Stabilisatoren bei rationalen Darstellungen von G auftreten. Sie wurden in [2] und [5] ausfiihrlich diskutiert. Dabei zeigte sich, dab es im allgemeinen wohl sehr schwierig ist zu entscheiden, ob eine Untergruppe observabel ist. Daher ist es sinnvoll, Kriterien zu finden. In [9] gab Sukhanov ftir Charakteristik 0 ein notwendiges und hinreichendes Kriterium daftir an, dab eine radizielle Untergruppe einer halbeinfachen algebraischen Gruppe observabel ist; dabei will ich unter einer radiziellen Unterg…

Adaptive Number Knowledge in Secondary School Students: Profiles and Antecedents

2019

Cited By :1 Export Date: 10 February 2021 Correspondence Address: McMullen, J.; Department of Teacher EducationFinland; email: jake.mcmullen@utu.fi The present study aims to examine inter-individual differences in adaptive number knowledge in secondary school students. Adaptive number knowledge is defined as a well-connected network of knowledge of numerical characteristics and arithmetic relations. Substantial and relevant qualitative differences in the strategies and expression of adaptive number knowledge have been found in primary school students still in the process of learning arithmetic. We present a study involving 879 seventh-grade students that examines the structure of individual…

Literacy programs efficacy for developing children’s early reading skills in familiar language in Zambia

2018

This study investigated the comparative efficacy of a phonics-based reading program and a language experience approach based literacy program to develop reading skills among Zambian early childhood school learners. The learners (n = 1 986; Grade 2 level; females = 50.1%) took either the phonics-based reading program (n = 1 593) or the alternative language experience approach based program (n = 393). They were all assessed for reading skills utilising the Early Grade Reading Assessment test (EGRA) in four languages (Cinyanja, Icibemba, Kiikaonde, and Silozi). Results suggest that learners in phonics-based literacy program were significantly better in letter-sound knowledge in all the four la…

Ahlfors-regular distances on the Heisenberg group without biLipschitz pieces

2015

We show that the Heisenberg group is not minimal in looking down. This answers Problem 11.15 in `Fractured fractals and broken dreams' by David and Semmes, or equivalently, Question 22 and hence also Question 24 in `Thirty-three yes or no questions about mappings, measures, and metrics' by Heinonen and Semmes. The non-minimality of the Heisenberg group is shown by giving an example of an Ahlfors $4$-regular metric space $X$ having big pieces of itself such that no Lipschitz map from a subset of $X$ to the Heisenberg group has image with positive measure, and by providing a Lipschitz map from the Heisenberg group to the space $X$ having as image the whole $X$. As part of proving the above re…

Multiple facets of inverse continuity

2021

International audience; Inversion of various inclusions that characterize continuity in topological spaces results in numerous variants of quotient and perfect maps. In the framework of convergences, the said inclusions are no longer equivalent, and each of them characterizes continuity in a different concretely reflective subcategory of convergences. On the other hand, it turns out that the mentioned variants of quotient and perfect maps are quotient and perfect maps with respect to these subcategories. This perspective enables use of convergence-theoretic tools in quests related to quotient and perfect maps, considerably simplifying the traditional approach. Similar techniques would be un…

Group topologies coarser than the Isbell topology

2011

Abstract The Isbell, compact-open and point-open topologies on the set C ( X , R ) of continuous real-valued maps can be represented as the dual topologies with respect to some collections α ( X ) of compact families of open subsets of a topological space X . Those α ( X ) for which addition is jointly continuous at the zero function in C α ( X , R ) are characterized, and sufficient conditions for translations to be continuous are found. As a result, collections α ( X ) for which C α ( X , R ) is a topological vector space are defined canonically. The Isbell topology coincides with this vector space topology if and only if X is infraconsonant. Examples based on measure theoretic methods, t…

Variations of selective separability II: Discrete sets and the influence of convergence and maximality

2012

A space $X$ is called selectively separable(R-separable) if for every sequence of dense subspaces $(D_n : n\in\omega)$ one can pick finite (respectively, one-point) subsets $F_n\subset D_n$ such that $\bigcup_{n\in\omega}F_n$ is dense in $X$. These properties are much stronger than separability, but are equivalent to it in the presence of certain convergence properties. For example, we show that every Hausdorff separable radial space is R-separable and note that neither separable sequential nor separable Whyburn spaces have to be selectively separable. A space is called \emph{d-separable} if it has a dense $\sigma$-discrete subspace. We call a space $X$ D-separable if for every sequence of …

Spectral sequence associated with a symplectic manifold

2006

A method of computation of its terms is presented together with some stabilization results. As an application a characterization of symplectic harmonic manifolds is given and a relationship with the C-spectral sequence is indicated.

Constraining Uncertainty in Projected Gross Primary Production With Machine Learning

2020

The terrestrial biosphere is currently slowing down global warming by absorbing about 30% of human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The largest flux of the terrestrial carbon uptake is gross primary production (GPP) defined as the production of carbohydrates by photosynthesis. Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration is expected to increase GPP (“CO2 fertilization effect”). However, Earth system models (ESMs) exhibit a large range in simulated GPP projections. In this study, we combine an existing emergent constraint on CO2 fertilization with a machine learning approach to constrain the spatial variations of multimodel GPP projections. In a first step, we use observed changes in the CO2 sea…
