If $X$ is a smooth scheme over a perfect field of characteristic $p$, and if ${𝒟}_X^{\left(\infty \right)}$ is the sheaf of differential operators on $X$ [7], it is well known that giving an action of ${𝒟}_X^{\left(\infty \right)}$ on an ${𝒪}_X$-module $ℰ$ is equivalent to giving an infinite sequence of ${𝒪}_X$-modules descending $ℰ$ via the iterates of the Frobenius endomorphism of $X$ [5]. We show that this result can be generalized to any infinitesimal deformation $f:X\to S$ of a smooth morphism in characteristic $p$, endowed with Frobenius liftings. We also show that it...

Let $n,d$ be two non-negative integers. A left $R$-module $M$ is called $(n,d)$-injective, if ${\mathrm{Ext}}^{d+1}(N,M)=0$ for every $n$-presented left $R$-module $N$. A right $R$-module $V$ is called $(n,d)$-flat, if ${\mathrm{Tor}}_{d+1}(V,N)=0$ for every $n$-presented left $R$-module $N$. A left $R$-module $M$ is called weakly $n$-$FP$-injective, if ${\mathrm{Ext}}^n(N,M)=0$ for every $(n+1)$-presented left $R$-module $N$. A right $R$-module $V$ is called weakly $n$-flat, if ${\mathrm{Tor}}_n(V,N)=0$ for every $(n+1)$-presented left $R$-module $N$. In this paper, we give some characterizations and properties of $(n,d)$-injective modules and $(n,d)$-flat modules in...

In this paper we introduce the concept of $\tau$-extending modules by $\tau$-rational submodules and study some properties of such modules. It is shown that the set of all $\tau$-rational left ideals of ${}_{R}R$ is a Gabriel filter. An $R$-module $M$ is called $\tau$-extending if every submodule of $M$ is $\tau$-rational in a direct summand of $M$. It is proved that $M$ is $\tau$-extending if and only if $M=Re{j}_{M}E(R/\tau \left(R\right))\oplus N$, such that $N$ is a $\tau$-extending submodule of $M$. An example is given to show that the direct sum of $\tau$-extending modules need not...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≢ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{{|}^p)}^{1/p}$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and q ≥ 1 let ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ be the smallest value of k for which there is a polynomial Q of degree k with complex coefficients such that $\left|Q\left(0\right)\right|>1/L({\sum }_{j=1}^n{\left|Q\left(j\right)\right|}^q{)}^{1/q}$. We find the size of ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ and ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ for all n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. The result about ${\mu }_{\infty }(n,L)$ is due to Coppersmith and Rivlin, but our proof is completely different and much shorter even...

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $𝕜$ of characteristic 0, and $𝔤=LieG$. Let $(e,h,f)$ be an $𝔰{𝔩}_2$-triple in $𝔤$ with $e$ being a long root vector in $𝔤$. Let $(·,·)$ be the $G$-invariant bilinear form on $𝔤$ with $(e,f)=1$ and let $\chi \in {𝔤}^{*}$ be such that $\chi \left(x\right)=(e,x)$ for all $x\in 𝔤$. Let $𝒮$ be the Slodowy slice at $e$ through the adjoint orbit of $e$ and let $H$ be the enveloping algebra of $𝒮$; see [31]. In this article we give an explicit presentation of $H$ by generators and relations. As a consequence we deduce that $H$ contains...
