We consider *-linear maps into a commutative C*-algebra C (X) of continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space X with certain specified properties and prove two results: (1) an extension result for a class of *-linear maps Y -->…
We solve a problem on a construction of a separately continuous mapping with the given diagonal, which is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous mappings valued in an equiconnected space. We construct an example of a closed-valued…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the following graph theoretic paradigm. Let $$T_Kf(x)=\int K(x,y) f(y) d\mu(y),$$ where $f: X \to {\Bbb R}$, $X$ a set, finite or infinite, and $K$ and $\mu$ denote a suitable kernel and a…
Let $X$ be a complete variety of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{K}$. Let $V_\bullet$ be a graded linear series associated to a line bundle $L$ on $X$, that is, a collection $\{V_m\}_{m\in\mathbb{N}}$ of vector…
Conic quasi-linear maps are nonlinear operators from $C_0(X)$ to a normed linear space $E$ which preserve nonnegative linear combinations on positive cones generated by single functions; quasi-linear maps are linear on singly generated…
In this note, we find a sharp bound for the minimal number (or in general, indexing set) of subspaces of a fixed (finite) codimension needed to cover any vector space V over any field. If V is a finite set, this is related to the problem of…
Let $f:X\times Y\times Z\longrightarrow W $ be a bounded tri-linear map on normed spaces. We say that $f$ is close-to-regular when $f^{t****s}=f^{s****t}$ and we say that $f$ is completely regular when all natural extensions are equal. In…
Consider the operator $$T_Kf(x)=\int_{{\mathbb R}^d} K(x,y) f(y) dy,$$ where $K$ is a locally integrable function or a measure. The purpose of this paper is to study the multi-linear form $$ \Lambda^K_G(f_1, \dots, f_n)=\int \dots \int…
The spline space $C_k^r(\Delta)$ attached to a subdivided domain $\Delta$ of $\R^{d} $ is the vector space of functions of class $C^{r}$ which are polynomials of degree $\le k$ on each piece of this subdivision. Classical splines on planar…
We prove that if f is a self-map of an algebraic variety over a field K, then under certain conditions on X, f and K the set of possible periods of K-valued periodic points of f is finite.
Linear structural equation models are multivariate statistical models encoded by mixed graphs. In particular, the set of covariance matrices for distributions belonging to a linear structural equation model for a fixed mixed graph $G=(V,…
We study the set ${\cal D}(\Phi)$ of limit directions of a vector cocycle $(\Phi_n)$ over a dynamical system, i.e., the set of limit values of $\Phi_n(x) /\|\Phi_n(x)\|$ along subsequences such that $\|\Phi_n(x)\|$ tends to $\infty$. This…
We establish relations between the bandwidth and the treewidth of bounded degree graphs G, and relate these parameters to the size of a separator of G as well as the size of an expanding subgraph of G. Our results imply that if one of these…
In this revised form, the proof of the principal lemma has been simplified and the main theorem has been extended to all characteristics for those varieties which are smooth in codimension one. This principal theorem essentially says the…
Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…
In this article, we study permanental varieties, i.e. varieties defined by the vanishing of permanents of fixed size of a generic matrix. Permanents and their varieties play an important, and sometimes poorly understood, role in…
Degenerations of linear series on smooth projective varieties approaching multicomponent varieties $X$ give rise to certain quiver representations in the category of linear series over $X$, which yield rational maps from $X$ to the…
This paper deals with properties of the algebraic variety defined as the set of zeros of a "deficient" sequence of multivariate polynomials. We consider two types of varieties: ideal-theoretic complete intersections and absolutely…
In this paper we investigate the class of the connected graded algebras which are finitely generated in degree 1, which are finitely presented with relations of degrees greater or equal to 2 and which are of finite global dimension D and…
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus 2 and $D$ a very ample divisor with $\phi_D$ its associated embedding into $\mathbb{P}^{n}$. We consider the set $G_{X,D}$ of linear subspaces $W$ of $\mathbb{P}^n$ of codimension $2$ with…
