A generalization of Mathieu subspaces to modules of associative algebras

Wenhua Zhao (2010)

Open Mathematics

We first propose a generalization of the notion of Mathieu subspaces of associative algebras 𝒜 , which was introduced recently in [Zhao W., Generalizations of the image conjecture and the Mathieu conjecture, J. Pure Appl. Algebra, 2010, 214(7), 1200–1216] and [Zhao W., Mathieu subspaces of associative algebras], to 𝒜 -modules . The newly introduced notion in a certain sense also generalizes the notion of submodules. Related with this new notion, we also introduce the sets σ(N) and τ(N) of stable...

A genericity theorem for algebraic stacks and essential dimension of hypersurfaces

Zinovy Reichstein, Angelo Vistoli (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We compute the essential dimension of the functors Forms n , d and Hypersurf n , d of equivalence classes of homogeneous polynomials in n variables and hypersurfaces in n 1 , respectively, over any base field k of characteristic 0 . Here two polynomials (or hypersurfaces) over K are considered equivalent if they are related by a linear change of coordinates with coefficients in K . Our proof is based on a new Genericity Theorem for algebraic stacks, which is of independent interest. As another application of the...

A geometric algorithm for the output functional controllability in general manipulation systems and mechanisms

Paolo Mercorelli (2012)

Kybernetika

In this paper the control of robotic manipulation is investigated. Manipulation system analysis and control are approached in a general framework. The geometric aspect of manipulation system dynamics is strongly emphasized by using the well developed techniques of geometric multivariable control theory. The focus is on the (functional) control of the crucial outputs in robotic manipulation, namely the reachable internal forces and the rigid-body object motions. A geometric control procedure is outlined...

A geometric application of Nori’s connectivity theorem

Claire Voisin (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We study (rational) sweeping out of general hypersurfaces by varieties having small moduli spaces. As a consequence, we show that general K -trivial hypersurfaces are not rationally swept out by abelian varieties of dimension at least two. As a corollary, we show that Clemens’ conjecture on the finiteness of rational curves of given degree in a general quintic threefold, and Lang’s conjecture saying that such varieties should be rationally swept-out by abelian varieties, contradict.

A geometric approach to the Jacobian Conjecture in ℂ²

Ludwik M. Drużkowski (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider polynomial mappings (f,g) of ℂ² with constant nontrivial jacobian. Using the Riemann-Hurwitz relation we prove among other things the following: If g - c (resp. f - c) has at most two branches at infinity for infinitely many numbers c or if f (resp. g) is proper on the level set g - 1 ( 0 ) (resp. f - 1 ( 0 ) ), then (f,g) is bijective.

A geometric description of Hazama's exceptional classes

Federica Galluzzi (2000)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Sia X una varietà abeliana complessa di tipo Mumford. In queste note daremo una descrizione esplicita delle classi eccezionali in B 2 X × X trovate da Hazama in [Ha] e le descriveremo geometricamente usando la grassmaniana delle rette di P 7 .

A geometric point of view on mean-variance models

Piotr Jaworski (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with the mathematics of the Markowitz theory of portfolio management. Let E and V be two homogeneous functions defined on ℝⁿ, the first linear, the other positive definite quadratic. Furthermore let Δ be a simplex contained in ℝⁿ (the set of admissible portfolios), for example Δ : x₁+ ... + xₙ = 1, x i 0 . Our goal is to investigate the properties of the restricted mappings (V,E):Δ → ℝ² (the so called Markowitz mappings) and to classify them. We introduce the notion of a generic model...

A geometric procedure for robust decoupling control of contact forces in robotic manipulation

Paolo Mercorelli, Domenico Prattichizzo (2003)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the problem of controlling contact forces in robotic manipulators with general kinematics. The main focus is on control of grasping contact forces exerted on the manipulated object. A visco-elastic model for contacts is adopted. The robustness of the decoupling controller with respect to the uncertainties affecting system parameters is investigated. Sufficient conditions for the invariance of decoupling action under perturbations on the contact stiffness and damping parameters...
