Amenability and unique ergodicity of automorphism groups of Fraïssé structures

Andy Zucker (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In this paper we consider those Fraïssé classes which admit companion classes in the sense of [KPT]. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the automorphism group of the Fraïssé limit to be amenable and apply it to prove the non-amenability of the automorphism groups of the directed graph S(3) and the boron tree structure T. Also, we provide a negative answer to the Unique Ergodicity-Generic Point problem of Angel-Kechris-Lyons [AKL]. By considering $G L (V_{\infty})$ , where $V_{\infty}$ is the countably...

Topological dynamics of unordered Ramsey structures

Moritz Müller, András Pongrácz (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate the connections between Ramsey properties of Fraïssé classes and the universal minimal flow $M (G_{)}$ of the automorphism group $G$ of their Fraïssé limits. As an extension of a result of Kechris, Pestov and Todorcevic (2005) we show that if the class has finite Ramsey degree for embeddings, then this degree equals the size of $M (G_{)}$ . We give a partial answer to a question of Angel, Kechris and Lyons (2014) showing that if is a relational Ramsey class and $G$ is amenable, then $M (G_{)}$ admits...

On the continuity of the elements of the Ellis semigroup and other properties

Salvador García-Ferreira, Yackelin Rodríguez-López, Carlos Uzcátegui (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We consider discrete dynamical systems whose phase spaces are compact metrizable countable spaces. In the first part of the article, we study some properties that guarantee the continuity of all functions of the corresponding Ellis semigroup. For instance, if every accumulation point of $X$ is fixed, we give a necessary and sufficient condition on a point $a \in X^{'}$ in order that all functions of the Ellis semigroup $E (X, f)$ be continuous at the given point $a$ . In the second part, we consider transitive...

Characterization of the alternating groups by their order and one conjugacy class length

Alireza Khalili Asboei, Reza Mohammadyari (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $N (G)$ be the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . By Thompson’s conjecture, if $L$ is a finite non-abelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with a trivial center, and $N (G) = N (L)$ , then $L$ and $G$ are isomorphic. Recently, Chen et al. contributed interestingly to Thompson’s conjecture under a weak condition. They only used the group order and one or two special conjugacy class sizes of simple groups and characterized successfully sporadic simple groups (see Li’s PhD dissertation)....

More reflections on compactness

Lúcia R. Junqueira, Franklin D. Tall (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the question of when $X_{M} = X$ , where $X_{M}$ is the elementary submodel topology on X ∩ M, especially in the case when $X_{M}$ is compact.

The generalized Hodge and Bloch conjectures are equivalent for general complete intersections

Claire Voisin (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We prove that Bloch’s conjecture is true for surfaces with $p_{g} = 0$ obtained as $0$ -sets $X_{σ}$ of a section $σ$ of a very ample vector bundle on a variety $X$ with “trivial” Chow groups. We get a similar result in presence of a finite group action, showing that if a projector of the group acts as $0$ on holomorphic $2$ -forms of $X_{σ}$ , then it acts as $0$ on $0$ -cycles of degree $0$ of $X_{σ}$ . In higher dimension, we also prove a similar but conditional result showing that the generalized Hodge conjecture for general $X_{σ}$ ...

Results related to Huppert’s $ρ$ - $σ$ conjecture

Xia Xu, Yong Yang (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We improve a few results related to Huppert’s $ρ$ - $σ$ conjecture. We also generalize a result about the covering number of character degrees to arbitrary finite groups.

A note on star Lindelöf, first countable and normal spaces

Wei-Feng Xuan (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A topological space $X$ is said to be star Lindelöf if for any open cover $𝒰$ of $X$ there is a Lindelöf subspace $A \subset X$ such that $St (A, 𝒰) = X$ . The “extent” $e (X)$ of $X$ is the supremum of the cardinalities of closed discrete subsets of $X$ . We prove that under $V = L$ every star Lindelöf, first countable and normal space must have countable extent. We also obtain an example under $MA + \neg CH$ , which shows that a star Lindelöf, first countable and normal space may not have countable extent.

A variation of Thompson's conjecture for the symmetric groups

Mahdi Abedei, Ali Iranmanesh, Farrokh Shirjian (2020)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $N (G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . Thompson’s conjecture states that if $G$ is a centerless group and $S$ is a non-abelian simple group satisfying $N (G) = N (S)$ , then $G ≅ S$ . In this paper, we investigate a variation of this conjecture for some symmetric groups under a weaker assumption. In particular, it is shown that $G ≅ Sym (p + 1)$ if and only if $| G | = (p + 1)!$ and $G$ has a special conjugacy class of size $(p + 1)! / p$ , where $p > 5$ is a prime number. Consequently, if $G$ is a centerless group with $N (G) = N (Sym (p + 1))$ , then...

A nice subclass of functionally countable spaces

Vladimir Vladimirovich Tkachuk (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A space $X$ is functionally countable if $f (X)$ is countable for any continuous function $f : X \to ℝ$ . We will call a space $X$ exponentially separable if for any countable family $ℱ$ of closed subsets of $X$ , there exists a countable set $A \subset X$ such that $A \cap ⋂ 𝒢 \neq \emptyset$ whenever $𝒢 \subset ℱ$ and $⋂ 𝒢 \neq \emptyset$ . Every exponentially separable space is functionally countable; we will show that for some nice classes of spaces exponential separability coincides with functional countability. We will also establish that the class of exponentially separable...

A countably cellular topological group all of whose countable subsets are closed need not be $ℝ$ -factorizable

Mihail G. Tkachenko (2023)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We construct a Hausdorff topological group $G$ such that $ℵ_{1}$ is a precalibre of $G$ (hence, $G$ has countable cellularity), all countable subsets of $G$ are closed and $C$ -embedded in $G$ , but $G$ is not $ℝ$ -factorizable. This solves Problem 8.6.3 from the book “Topological Groups and Related Structures" (2008) in the negative.

On some properties of three-dimensional minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$

Tien Duc Luu (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We prove in this paper the Hölder regularity of Almgren minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a $𝕐$ -point and the existence of a point of particular type of a Mumford-Shah minimal set in $ℝ^{4}$ , which is very close to a $𝕋$ . This will give a local description of minimal sets of dimension 3 in $ℝ^{4}$ around a singular point and a property of Mumford-Shah minimal sets in $ℝ^{4}$ .

Thompson’s conjecture for the alternating group of degree $2 p$ and $2 p + 1$

Azam Babai, Ali Mahmoudifar (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ denote by $N (G)$ the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . In 1980s, J. G. Thompson posed the following conjecture: If $L$ is a finite nonabelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with trivial center and $N (G) = N (L)$ , then $G ≅ L$ . We prove this conjecture for an infinite class of simple groups. Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that every finite group $G$ with the property $Z (G) = 1$ and $N (G) = N (A_{i})$ is necessarily isomorphic to $A_{i}$ , where $i \in {2 p, 2 p + 1}$ .

On a question of $C_{c} (X)$

A. R. Olfati (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In this short article we answer the question posed in Ghadermazi M., Karamzadeh O.A.S., Namdari M., On the functionally countable subalgebra of $C (X)$ , Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 129 (2013), 47–69. It is shown that $C_{c} (X)$ is isomorphic to some ring of continuous functions if and only if $υ_{0} X$ is functionally countable. For a strongly zero-dimensional space $X$ , this is equivalent to say that $X$ is functionally countable. Hence for every $P$ -space it is equivalent to pseudo- $ℵ_{0}$ -compactness.

On a conjecture of Dekking : The sum of digits of even numbers

Iurie Boreico, Daniel El-Baz, Thomas Stoll (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $q \geq 2$ and denote by $s_{q}$ the sum-of-digits function in base $q$ . For $j = 0, 1, \dots, q - 1$ consider $# {0 \leq n < N : s_{q} (2 n) \equiv j (mod q)} .$ In 1983, F. M. Dekking conjectured that this quantity is greater than $N / q$ and, respectively, less than $N / q$ for infinitely many $N$ , thereby claiming an absence of a drift (or Newman) phenomenon. In this paper we prove his conjecture.

Piotr W. Nowak (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that the Hilbert space is coarsely embeddable into any $ℓ_{p}$ for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. It follows that coarse embeddability into ℓ₂ and into $ℓ_{p}$ are equivalent for 1 ≤ p < 2.
