Smooth distributions are finitely generated
A subbundle of variable dimension inside the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold is called a smooth distribution if it is the pointwise span of a family of smooth vector fields. We prove that all such distributions are finitely generated, meaning that the family may be taken to be a finite collection. Further, we show that the space of smooth sections of such distributions need not be finitely ...
متن کاملMULTIPLICATION MODULES THAT ARE FINITELY GENERATED
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. An $R$-module $M$ is called a multiplication module if for every submodule $N$ of $M$ there exists an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $N = IM$. It is shown that over a Noetherian domain $R$ with dim$(R)leq 1$, multiplication modules are precisely cyclic or isomorphic to an invertible ideal of $R$. Moreover, we give a charac...
متن کاملSmooth distributions are globally finitely spanned
A smooth distribution on a smooth manifold M is, by definition, a map that assigns to each point x of M a linear subspace ∆(x) of the tangent space TxM , in such a way that, locally, there exist smooth sections f1, . . . , fd of ∆ such that the linear span of f1(x), . . . , fd(x) is ∆(x) for all x. We prove that a much weaker definition of “smooth distribution,” in which it is only required tha...
متن کاملFinitely generated nilpotent groups are finitely presented and residually finite
Definition 1. Let G be a group. G is said to be residually finite if the intersection of all normal subgroups of G of finite index in G is trivial. For a survey of results on residual finiteness and related properties, see Mag-nus, Karrass, and Solitar [6, Section 6.5]. We shall present a proof of the following well known theorem, which is important for Kharlampovich [4, 5]. See also O. V. Bele...
متن کاملRational vertex operator algebras are finitely generated
It is proved that any vertex operator algebra for which the image of the Virasoro element in Zhu’s algebra is algebraic over complex numbers is finitely generated. In particular, any vertex operator algebra with a finite dimensional Zhu’s algebra is finitely generated. As a result, any rational vertex operator algebra is finitely generated. Although many well known vertex operator algebras are ...
