Hurewicz-Serre theorem in extension theory

M. Cencelj, J. Dydak, A. Mitra, A. Vavpetič (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to generalizations of the Cencelj-Dranishnikov theorems relating extension properties of nilpotent CW complexes to their homology groups. Here are the main results of the paper: Theorem 0.1. Let L be a nilpotent CW complex and F the homotopy fiber of the inclusion i of L into its infinite symmetric product SP(L). If X is a metrizable space such that $X τ K (H_{k} (L), k)$ for all k ≥ 1, then $X τ K (π_{k} (F), k)$ and $X τ K (π_{k} (L), k)$ for all k ≥ $.$ Theorem 0.2. Let X be a metrizable space such that dim(X) < ∞ or X ∈...

Convergence of formal solutions of first order singular partial differential equations of nilpotent type

Masatake Miyake, Akira Shirai (2012)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let (x,y,z) ∈ ℂ³. In this paper we shall study the solvability of singular first order partial differential equations of nilpotent type by the following typical example: $P u (x, y, z) : = (y \partial_{x} - z \partial_{y}) u (x, y, z) = f (x, y, z) \in_{x, y, z}$ , where $P = y \partial_{x} - z \partial_{y} :_{x, y, z} \to_{x, y, z}$ . For this equation, our aim is to characterize the solvability on $_{x, y, z}$ by using the Im P, Coker P and Ker P, and we give the exact forms of these sets.

Images of locally nilpotent derivations of bivariate polynomial algebras over a domain

Xiaosong Sun, Beini Wang (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study the LND conjecture concerning the images of locally nilpotent derivations, which arose from the Jacobian conjecture. Let $R$ be a domain containing a field of characteristic zero. We prove that, when $R$ is a one-dimensional unique factorization domain, the image of any locally nilpotent $R$ -derivation of the bivariate polynomial algebra $R [x, y]$ is a Mathieu-Zhao subspace. Moreover, we prove that, when $R$ is a Dedekind domain, the image of a locally nilpotent $R$ -derivation of $R [x, y]$ with some...

Classification of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 9 with 2-dimensional center

Bin Ren, Lin Sheng Zhu (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A Lie algebra $L$ is called 2-step nilpotent if $L$ is not abelian and $[L, L]$ lies in the center of $L$ . 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras are useful in the study of some geometric problems, and their classification has been an important problem in Lie theory. In this paper, we give a classification of 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras of dimension 9 with 2-dimensional center.

Partial differential equations in Banach spaces involving nilpotent linear operators

Antonia Chinnì, Paolo Cubiotti (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let E be a Banach space. We consider a Cauchy problem of the type ⎧ $D_{t}^{k} u + \sum_{j = 0}^{k - 1} \sum_{| α | \leq m} A_{j, α} (D_{t}^{j} D_{x}^{α} u) = f$ in $ℝ^{n + 1}$ , ⎨ ⎩ $D_{t}^{j} u (0, x) = φ_{j} (x)$ in $ℝ^{n}$ , j=0,...,k-1, where each $A_{j, α}$ is a given continuous linear operator from E into itself. We prove that if the operators $A_{j, α}$ are nilpotent and pairwise commuting, then the problem is well-posed in the space of all functions $u \in C^{\infty} (ℝ^{n + 1}, E)$ whose derivatives are equi-bounded on each bounded subset of $ℝ^{n + 1}$ .

Leibniz's rule on two-step nilpotent Lie groups

Krystian Bekała (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let be a nilpotent Lie algebra which is also regarded as a homogeneous Lie group with the Campbell-Hausdorff multiplication. This allows us to define a generalized multiplication $f g = {(f^{\lor} * g^{\lor})}^{\land}$ of two functions in the Schwartz class (*), where $^{\lor}$ and $^{\land}$ are the Abelian Fourier transforms on the Lie algebra and on the dual * and ∗ is the convolution on the group . In the operator analysis on nilpotent Lie groups an important notion is the one of symbolic calculus which can be viewed as a higher order...

Finite groups in which every self-centralizing subgroup is nilpotent or subnormal or a TI-subgroup

Jiangtao Shi, Na Li (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group. We prove that if every self-centralizing subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent or subnormal or a TI-subgroup, then every subgroup of $G$ is nilpotent or subnormal. Moreover, $G$ has either a normal Sylow $p$ -subgroup or a normal $p$ -complement for each prime divisor $p$ of $| G |$ .

On nilpotent operators

Laura Burlando (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We give several necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a bounded linear operator on a Banach space be nilpotent. We also discuss three necessary conditions for nilpotency. Furthermore, we construct an infinite family (in one-to-one correspondence with the square-summable sequences ${(ε ₙ)}_{n \in ℕ}$ of strictly positive real numbers) of nonnilpotent quasinilpotent operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, all the iterates of each of which have closed range. Each of these operators...

$𝒟_{n, r}$ is not potentially nilpotent for $n \geq 4 r - 2$

Yan Ling Shao, Yubin Gao, Wei Gao (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An $n \times n$ sign pattern $𝒜$ is said to be potentially nilpotent if there exists a nilpotent real matrix $B$ with the same sign pattern as $𝒜$ . Let $𝒟_{n, r}$ be an $n \times n$ sign pattern with $2 \leq r \leq n$ such that the superdiagonal and the $(n, n)$ entries are positive, the $(i, 1)$ $(i = 1, \dots, r)$ and $(i, i - r + 1)$ $(i = r + 1, \dots, n)$ entries are negative, and zeros elsewhere. We prove that for $r \geq 3$ and $n \geq 4 r - 2$ , the sign pattern $𝒟_{n, r}$ is not potentially nilpotent, and so not spectrally arbitrary.

Sub-Laplacian with drift in nilpotent Lie groups

Camillo Melzi (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the heat kernel $ϕ_{t}$ corresponding to the left invariant sub-Laplacian with drift term in the first commutator of the Lie algebra, on a nilpotent Lie group. We improve the results obtained by G. Alexopoulos in [1], [2] proving the “exact Gaussian factor” exp(-|g|²/4(1+ε)t) in the large time upper Gaussian estimate for $ϕ_{t}$ . We also obtain a large time lower Gaussian estimate for $ϕ_{t}$ .

Let $Q$ be a finite commutative loop and let the inner mapping group $I (Q) ≅ C_{p^{n}} \times C_{p^{n}}$ , where $p$ is an odd prime number and $n \geq 1$ . We show that $Q$ is centrally nilpotent of class two.

The evolution and Poisson kernels on nilpotent meta-abelian groups

Richard Penney, Roman Urban (2013)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let S be a semidirect product S = N⋊ A where N is a connected and simply connected, non-abelian, nilpotent meta-abelian Lie group and A is isomorphic to $ℝ^{k}$ , k>1. We consider a class of second order left-invariant differential operators on S of the form $ℒ_{α} = L^{a} + Δ_{α}$ , where $α \in ℝ^{k}$ , and for each $a \in ℝ^{k}, L^{a}$ is left-invariant second order differential operator on N and $Δ_{α} = Δ - ⟨ α, \nabla ⟩$ , where Δ is the usual Laplacian on $ℝ^{k}$ . Using some probabilistic techniques (e.g., skew-product formulas for diffusions on S and N respectively)...

On the nilpotent residuals of all subalgebras of Lie algebras

Wei Meng, Hailou Yao (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $𝒩$ denote the class of nilpotent Lie algebras. For any finite-dimensional Lie algebra $L$ over an arbitrary field $𝔽$ , there exists a smallest ideal $I$ of $L$ such that $L / I \in 𝒩$ . This uniquely determined ideal of $L$ is called the nilpotent residual of $L$ and is denoted by $L^{𝒩}$ . In this paper, we define the subalgebra $S (L) = ⋂_{H \leq L} I_{L} (H^{𝒩})$ . Set $S_{0} (L) = 0$ . Define $S_{i + 1} (L) / S_{i} (L) = S (L / S_{i} (L))$ for $i \geq 1$ . By $S_{\infty} (L)$ denote the terminal term of the ascending series. It is proved that $L = S_{\infty} (L)$ if and only if $L^{𝒩}$ is nilpotent. In addition, we investigate the basic properties of a...

A property which ensures that a finitely generated hyper-(Abelian-by-finite) group is finite-by-nilpotent

Fares Gherbi, Nadir Trabelsi (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $𝔐$ be the class of groups satisfying the minimal condition on normal subgroups and let $Ω$ be the class of groups of finite lower central depth, that is groups $G$ such that $γ_{i} (G) = γ_{i + 1} (G)$ for some positive integer $i$ . The main result states that if $G$ is a finitely generated hyper-(Abelian-by-finite) group such that for every $x \in G$ , there exists a normal subgroup $H_{x}$ of finite index in $G$ satisfying $〈 x, x^{h} 〉 \in 𝔐 Ω$ for every $h \in H_{x}$ , then $G$ is finite-by-nilpotent. As a consequence of this result, we prove that a finitely generated...

A new family of spectrally arbitrary ray patterns

Yinzhen Mei, Yubin Gao, Yan Ling Shao, Peng Wang (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An $n \times n$ ray pattern $𝒜$ is called a spectrally arbitrary ray pattern if the complex matrices in $Q (𝒜)$ give rise to all possible complex polynomials of degree $n$ . In a paper of Mei, Gao, Shao, and Wang (2014) was proved that the minimum number of nonzeros in an $n \times n$ irreducible spectrally arbitrary ray pattern is $3 n - 1$ . In this paper, we introduce a new family of spectrally arbitrary ray patterns of order $n$ with exactly $3 n - 1$ nonzeros.

Retracts that are kernels of locally nilpotent derivations

Dayan Liu, Xiaosong Sun (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $B$ a $k$ -domain. Let $R$ be a retract of $B$ being the kernel of a locally nilpotent derivation of $B$ . We show that if $B = R \oplus I$ for some principal ideal $I$ (in particular, if $B$ is a UFD), then $B = R^{[1]}$ , i.e., $B$ is a polynomial algebra over $R$ in one variable. It is natural to ask that, if a retract $R$ of a $k$ -UFD $B$ is the kernel of two commuting locally nilpotent derivations of $B$ , then does it follow that $B ≅ R^{[2]}$ ? We give a negative answer to this question. The interest in...

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We give a Hodge-theoretic parametrization of certain real Lie group orbits in the compact dual of a Mumford-Tate domain, and characterize the orbits which contain a naive limit Hodge filtration. A series of examples are worked out for the groups $S U (2, 1)$ , $S p_{4}$ , and $G_{2}$ .
