The credit for introducing the geometry of Lagrange spaces and their subspaces goes to the famous Romanian geometer Miron 1 . He developed the theory of subspaces of a Lagrange space together with Bejancu 2 . Miron and Anastasiei 3 and Sakaguchi 4 studied the subspaces of generalized Lagrange spaces GL spaces in short . Antonelli and Hrimiuc 5, 6 introduced the concept of φ-Lagrangians and stud...

We prove that the centralizer Cφ ⊆ HomR(M,M) of a nilpotent endomorphism φ of a finitely generated semisimple left R-module RM (over an arbitrary ring R) is the homomorphic image of the opposite of a certain Z(R)-subalgebra of the full m×m matrix algebra Mm×m(R[t]), where m is the dimension (composition length) of ker(φ). If R is a finite dimensional division ring over its central subfield Z(R)...

Let D be an integral domain and E = {e1, . . . , ek} a finite nonempty subset of D. Then Int(E,D) has the strong two-generator property if and only if D is a Bezout domain. If D is a Dedekind domain which is not a principal ideal domain, then we characterize which elements of Int(E, D) are strong two-generators. Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K and E ⊆ D a subset of D. We let I...

Abstract. Let A and B be almost commuting (i.e., the commutator AB−BA belongs to trace class) self-adjoint operators. We construct a functional calculus φ 7→ φ(A,B) for functions φ in the Besov class B ∞,1(R ). This functional calculus is linear, the operators φ(A,B) and ψ(A,B) almost commute for φ, ψ ∈ B ∞,1(R ), and φ(A,B) = u(A)v(B) whenever φ(s, t) = u(s)v(t). We extend the Helton–Howe trac...

Let K be a finite extension of the p-adic field Qp and let F (X,Y ) and G(X, Y ) be one-dimensional formal group laws over the ring of integers OK of K. Let φ(X) be a homomorphism from F to G which is defined over the ring of integers OCp of the completion Cp of Q p . In this paper we prove that if ker(φ) is finite then there is a discretely valued subfield L ⊂ Cp such that φ(X) is defined over...

The purpose of this paper is to address a number of issues raised by Avramov and Miller in a recent paper [1]. Let (R,m, k) be a Noetherian local ring of characteristic p > 0 with residue field k, and let φ : R → R be the the Frobenius homomorphism defined by φ(a) = a. For r ≥ 1, we denote by φrR the R-module structure on R via φ. That is, for a ∈ R and b ∈ φ r R, a · b = a r b. When R is a reg...

This note describes a representation of the real numbers due to Schanuel. The representation lets us construct the real numbers from first principles. Like the well-known construction of the real numbers using Dedekind cuts, the idea is inspired by the ancient Greek theory of proportion, due to Eudoxus. However, unlike the Dedekind construction, the construction proceeds directly from the integ...

We present a constructive interpretation of some results in [6]. To any integral domain R we associate a distributive lattice V (R) which is a point-free presentation of the space of valuations over the ring R. Our definition, by generators and relations, is similar to Joyal’s definition of the Zariski lattice of a ring R, which is a point-free presentation of the Zariski spectrum of R. The spa...
