Remarks on tolerance semigroups
This is a survey of the results obtained by K. Głazek and his co-workers. We restrict our attention to the problems of axiomatizations of n-ary groups, classes of n-ary groups, properties of skew elements and homomorphisms induced by skew elements, constructions of covering groups, classifications and representations of n-ary groups. Some new results are added too.
Let be a group and the number of its -dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function . When is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite place...
Given a complete and atomic Boolean algebra B, there exists a family taugamma of triangular norms on B such that, under the partial ordering of triangular norms, taugamma is a Boolean algebra isomorphic to B, where gamma is the set of all atoms in B. In other words, as we have shown in this note, every complete and atomic Boolean algebra can be represented by its own triangular norms. What we have not shown in this paper is our belief that taugamma is not unique for B and that, for such a representation,...
Strengthened forms of Ling's representation theorem concerning a class of continuous associative functions are given: Firstly the monotonicity condition is removed. Then the associativity condition is replaced by the power associativity.
Let be a finite and nontrivial abelian group with . A conjecture of Hamidoune says that if is a sequence of integers, all but at most one relatively prime to , and is a sequence over with , the maximum multiplicity of at most , and , then there exists a nontrivial subgroup such that every element can be represented as a weighted subsequence sum of the form , with a subsequence of . We give two examples showing this does not hold in general, and characterize the counterexamples...
The paper studies the first homology of finite regular branched coverings of a universal Borromean orbifold called B 4,4,4ℍ3. We investigate the irreducible components of the first homology as a representation space of the finite covering transformation group G. This gives information on the first betti number of finite coverings of general 3-manifolds by the universality of B 4,4,4. The main result of the paper is a criterion in terms of the irreducible character whether a given irreducible representation...
