Rigidity II: non-orientable case.
This paper investigates the geometric and structural characteristics involved in the control of general mechanisms and manipulation systems. These systems consist of multiple cooperating linkages that interact with a reference member of the mechanism (the “object”) by means of contacts on any available part of their links. Grasp and manipulation of an object by the human hand is taken as a paradigmatic example for this class of manipulators. Special attention is devoted to the output specification...
We show that the objects of Bass-Farrell categories which represent 0 in the corresponding Nil groups are precisely those which are stably triangular. This extends to Waldhausen's Nil group of the amalgamated free product with index 2 factors. Applications include a description of Cappell's special UNil group and reformulations of those splitting and fibering theorems which use the Nil groups.
It was recently proved that every additive category has a unique maximal exact structure, while it remained open whether the distinguished short exact sequences of this canonical exact structure coincide with the stable short exact sequences. The question is answered by a counterexample which shows that none of the steps to construct the maximal exact structure can be dropped.
An exchange ring is strongly separative provided that for all finitely generated projective right -modules and , . We prove that an exchange ring is strongly separative if and only if for any corner of , implies that there exist such that and if and only if for any corner of , implies that there exists a right invertible matrix . The dual assertions are also proved.
Cet article est consacré à l’étude de la structure d’anneau du groupe de Grothendieck équivariant d’une courbe projective munie d’une action d’un groupe fini. On explicite cette structure en introduisant un groupe de classes de cycles à coefficients dans les caractères et une notion d’auto-intersection pour ces cycles. De ce résultat, on déduit une expression de la caractéristique d’Euler équivariante d’un -faisceau.
In this paper, we determine all the normal forms of Hermitian matrices over finite group rings , where , is a commutative -group with order . Furthermore, using the normal forms of Hermitian matrices, we study the structure of unitary group over through investigating its BN-pair and order. As an application, we construct a Cartesian authentication code and compute its size parameters.
On présente deux résultats nouveaux concernant la racine carrée de la codifférente d’une extension faiblement ramifiée de . Le premier, relatif à sa structure galoisienne, s’inscrit dans la stratégie classique développée notamment par Fröhlich et Taylor. Le second, qui concerne le réseau entier unimodulaire associé, est prouvé à l’aide de calculs numériques portant sur des exemples intéressants.
