Denote by any set of cardinality continuum. It is proved that a Banach algebra A with the property that for every collection $a_{\alpha }:\alpha \in \subset A$ there exist α ≠ β ∈ such that $a_{\alpha }\in a_{\beta }{A}^{}$ is isomorphic to ${⨁}_{i=1}^r(ℂ\left[X\right]/X^{d_i}ℂ\left[X\right])\oplus E$, where $d₁,...,d_r\in \mathbb{N}$, and E is either $Xℂ\left[X\right]/X^{d₀}ℂ\left[X\right]$ for some d₀ ∈ ℕ or a 1-dimensional ${⨁}_{i=1}^rℂ\left[X\right]/X^{d_i}ℂ\left[X\right]$-bimodule with trivial right module action. In particular, ℂ is the unique non-zero prime Banach algebra satisfying the above condition.

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and let $C$ be a semidualizing $R$-module. We prove a result about the covering properties of the class of relative Gorenstein injective modules with respect to $C$ which is a generalization of Theorem 1 by Enochs and Iacob (2015). Specifically, we prove that if for every $G_C$-injective module $G$, the character module $G^{+}$ is $G_C$-flat, then the class ${\mathrm{𝒢ℐ}}_C\left(R\right)\cap {𝒜}_C\left(R\right)$ is closed under direct sums and direct limits. Also, it is proved that under the above hypotheses the class ${\mathrm{𝒢ℐ}}_C\left(R\right)\cap {𝒜}_C\left(R\right)$...

Let d be a positive integer and μ a generalized Cantor measure satisfying $\mu ={\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j\mu \circ S_j^{-1}$, where $0<a_j<1$, ${\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j=1$, $S_j=\rho R+b_j$ with 0 < ρ < 1 and R an orthogonal transformation of ${ℝ}^d$. Then ⎧1 < p ≤ 2 ⇒ ⎨$su{p}_{r>0}{r}^{d(1/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}-1/p^{\text{'}})}({\int }_{J_x^r}{\left|\mu ̂\left(y\right)\right|}^{p^{\text{'}}}{dy)}^{1/p^{\text{'}}}\le D₁{\rho }^{-d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}$, $x\in {ℝ}^d$, ⎩ p = 2 ⇒ infr≥1 rd(1/α’-1/2) (∫J₀r|μ̂(y)|² dy)1/2 ≥ D₂ρd/α’$,$where $J_x^r={\prod }_{i=1}^d(x_i-r/2,x_i+r/2)$, α’ is defined by ${\rho }^{d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}={\left({\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j^p\right)}^{1/p}$ and the constants D₁ and D₂ depend only on d and p.

We consider elementary operators $x\mapsto {\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_{j}x{b}_j$, acting on a unital Banach algebra, where $a_j$ and $b_j$ are separately commuting families of generalized scalar elements. We give an ascent estimate and a lower bound estimate for such an operator. Additionally, we give a weak variant of the Fuglede-Putnam theorem for an elementary operator with strongly commuting families $a_j$ and $b_j$, i.e. $a_j=a_j^{\text{'}}+i{a}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j=b_j^{\text{'}}+i{b}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$), where all $a_j^{\text{'}}$ and $a_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j^{\text{'}}$ and $b_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$) commute. The main tool is an L¹ estimate of the Fourier transform of a certain class...

We determine the duals of the homogeneous matrix-weighted Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ which were previously defined in [5]. If W is a matrix $A_p$ weight, then the dual of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ can be identified with ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$ and, similarly, $\left[{ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)\right]*\approx {ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$. Moreover, for certain W which may not be in the $A_p$ class, the duals of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ are determined and expressed in terms of the Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$ and ${ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$, which we define in terms of reducing operators ${A_Q}_Q$ associated with W. We also develop the basic theory of these reducing operator Besov spaces....

Assume that S is a commutative complete discrete valuation domain of characteristic p, S* is the unit group of S and $G=G_p\times B$ is a finite group, where $G_p$ is a p-group and B is a p’-group. Denote by $S^{\lambda }G$ the twisted group algebra of G over S with a 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,S*). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $S^{\lambda }G$ to be of OTP representation type, in the sense that every indecomposable $S^{\lambda }G$-module is isomorphic to the outer tensor product V W of an indecomposable $S^{\lambda }{G}_p$-module V and an irreducible...

In analogy to the classical isomorphism between ((ℝⁿ), ${}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^m\right))$ and ${}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$ (resp. $\left(\left(ℝⁿ\right){,}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^m\right)\right)$ and ${}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$), we show that a large class of moderate linear mappings acting between the space ${}_C\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ of compactly supported generalized functions and (ℝⁿ) of generalized functions (resp. the space ${}_{}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ of Colombeau rapidly decreasing generalized functions and the space ${}_{\tau }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ of temperate ones) admits generalized integral representations, with kernels belonging to specific regular subspaces of $\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$ (resp. ${}_{\tau }\left({ℝ}^{m+n}\right)$). The main novelty is to use...

Let K be a field of characteristic p > 0, K* the multiplicative group of K and $G=G_p\times B$ a finite group, where $G_p$ is a p-group and B is a p’-group. Denote by $K^{\lambda }G$ a twisted group algebra of G over K with a 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,K*). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for G to be of OTP projective K-representation type, in the sense that there exists a cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,K*) such that every indecomposable $K^{\lambda }G$-module is isomorphic to the outer tensor product V W of an indecomposable $K^{\lambda }{G}_p$-module...

In this paper, we introduce and study the notion of completely bounded ${\Lambda }_p$ sets (${\Lambda }_p^{cb}$ for short) for compact, non-abelian groups G. We characterize ${\Lambda }_p^{cb}$ sets in terms of completely bounded $L^p\left(G\right)$ multipliers. We prove that when G is an infinite product of special unitary groups of arbitrarily large dimension, there are sets consisting of representations of unbounded degree that are ${\Lambda }_p$ sets for all p < ∞, but are not ${\Lambda }_p^{cb}$ for any p ≥ 4. This is done by showing that the space of completely bounded $L^p\left(G\right)$...

Let $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p$ be the ring of p-adic integers, $U\left(\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p\right)$ the unit group of $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p$ and $G=G_p\times B$ a finite group, where $G_p$ is a p-group and B is a p’-group. Denote by $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }G$ the twisted group algebra of G over $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p$ with a 2-cocycle $\lambda \in Z²(G,U\left(\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p\right))$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }G$ to be of OTP representation type, in the sense that every indecomposable $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }G$-module is isomorphic to the outer tensor product V W of an indecomposable $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }{G}_p$-module V and an irreducible $\mathbb{Z}{̂}_p^{\lambda }B$-module W.

For the dynamics $x^{\text{'}\text{'}}=-{\nabla }_{x}V\left(x\right)$, an equilibrium point $\underline{x}$ are always unstable when on a neighborhood of $\underline{x}$ the non constant $V$ satisfies $P(x,\partial )V=0$ for a real second order elliptic $P$. The proof uses a result of Kozlov [6].

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...

Let $\mathbb{Z}$ be the set of integers, ${\mathbb{N}}_0$ the set of nonnegative integers and $F(x_1,x_2)=u_1{x}_1+u_2{x}_2$ be a binary linear form whose coefficients $u_1$, $u_2$ are nonzero, relatively prime integers such that $u_1{u}_2\ne \pm 1$ and $u_1{u}_2\ne -2$. Let $f:\mathbb{Z}\to {\mathbb{N}}_0\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ be any function such that the set $f^{-1}\left(0\right)$ has asymptotic density zero. In 2007, M. B. Nathanson (2007) proved that there exists a set $A$ of integers such that $r_{A,F}\left(n\right)=f\left(n\right)$ for all integers $n$, where $r_{A,F}\left(n\right)=\left|\{(a,a^{\text{'}}):n=u_{1}a+u_2{a}^{\text{'}}:a,a^{\text{'}}\in A\}\right|$. We add the structure of difference for the binary linear form $F(x_1,x_2)$.

In this paper, we study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem for $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ (the magnetization) of two variables $x^{\text{'}}$: $E_{\epsilon }\left(m^{\text{'}}\right)=\epsilon \int {|{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}+\frac{1}{2}\int {\left||{\nabla }^{\text{'}}{|}^{-1/2}{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}\right|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}$. We are interested in the behavior of minimizers as $\epsilon \to 0$. They are expected to be $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ of vanishing distributional divergence ${\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}=0$, so that appropriate boundary conditions enforce line discontinuities. For finite $\epsilon >0$, these line discontinuities are approximated by smooth transition layers, the so-called Néel...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module. We wish to investigate the relation between vanishing, finiteness, Artinianness, minimaxness and $𝒞$-minimaxness of local cohomology modules. We show that if $M$ is a minimax $R$-module, then the local-global principle is valid for minimaxness of local cohomology modules. This implies that if $n$ is a nonnegative integer such that ${\left(H_I^i\left(M\right)\right)}_{𝔪}$ is a minimax $R_{𝔪}$-module for all $𝔪\in \mathrm{Max}\left(R\right)$ and for all $i<n$, then the set ${\mathrm{Ass}}_R\left(H_I^n\left(M\right)\right)$ is finite. Also, if $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is...

In this article we study the comaximal graph ${\Gamma }_{{}_2}^{\text{'}}C\left(X\right)$ of the ring $C\left(X\right)$. We have tried to associate the graph properties of ${\Gamma }_{{}_2}^{\text{'}}C\left(X\right)$, the ring properties of $C\left(X\right)$ and the topological properties of $X$. Radius, girth, dominating number and clique number of the ${\Gamma }_{{}_2}^{\text{'}}C\left(X\right)$ are investigated. We have shown that $2\le Rad{\Gamma }_{{}_2}^{\text{'}}C\left(X\right)\le 3$ and if $\left|X\right|>2$ then $\mathrm{girth}{\Gamma }_{{}_2}^{\text{'}}C\left(X\right)=3$. We give some topological properties of $X$ equivalent to graph properties of ${\Gamma }_{{}_2}^{\text{'}}C\left(X\right)$. Finally we have proved that $X$ is an almost $P$-space which does not have isolated points if and only if $C\left(X\right)$ is an almost...

Given an integer $n\ge 3$, let $u_1,...,u_n$ be pairwise coprime integers $\ge 2$, $𝒟$ a family of nonempty proper subsets of $\{1,...,n\}$ with “enough” elements, and $\epsilon$ a function $𝒟\to \{\pm 1\}$. Does there exist at least one prime $q$ such that $q$ divides ${\prod }_{i\in I}{u}_i-\epsilon \left(I\right)$ for some $I\in 𝒟$, but it does not divide $u_1\cdots u_n$? We answer this question in the positive when the $u_i$ are prime powers and $\epsilon$ and $𝒟$ are subjected to certain restrictions. We use the result to prove that, if ${\epsilon }_0\in \{\pm 1\}$ and $A$ is a set of three or more primes that contains all prime divisors of any...
