There are well-known characterizations of the hereditary quotient maps in the category of topological spaces, (that is, of quotient maps stable under pullback along embeddings), as well as of universal quotient maps (that is, of quotient maps stable under pullback). These are precisely the so-called pseudo-open maps, as shown by Arhangel’skii, and the bi-quotient maps of Michael, as shown by Da...

For self-orthogonal modules T , the quotient triangulated categories D(A)/K(addT ) are studied, in particular, their relations with the stable categories of some Frobenius categories are investigated. New descriptions of the singularity categories of Gorenstein algebras are obtained; and the derived categories of Gorenstein algebras are explicitly given, inside the stable categories of the grad...

OBJECTIVE Cognitive impairments had been reported in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, what caused the impairments needed to be demonstrated, chemotherapy-related or the disease itself. The primary aim of this exploratory investigation was to determine if there were changes in brain function of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before chemotherapy. METHODS In this study, we adv...

We show that for any C∗-algebra A, a sufficiently large Hilbert space H and a unit vector ξ ∈ H, the natural application rep(A:H) θξ −−→ Q(A), π 7→ 〈π(−)ξ, ξ〉 is a topological quotient, where rep(A:H) is the space of representations on H and Q(A) the set of quasi-states, i.e. positive linear functionals with norm at most 1. This quotient might be a useful tool in the representation theory of C∗...

We generalize the well-known numerical criterion for projective spaces by Cho, Miyaoka and Shepherd-Barron to varieties with at worst quotient singularities. Let X be a normal projective variety of dimension n ≥ 3 with at most quotient singularities. Our result asserts that if C · (−KX) ≥ n + 1 for every curve C ⊂ X, then X ∼= P .

In this paper, we grasp an inverse eigenvalue problem which constructs a tridiagonal matrix with specified multiple eigenvalues, from the viewpoint of the quotient difference (qd) recursion formula. We also prove that the characteristic and the minimal polynomials of a constructed tridiagonal matrix are equal to each other. As an application of the qd formula, we present a procedure for getting...

An extension of a group A by a group G is thought of here simply as a group H containing A as a normal subgroup with quotient H/A isomorphic to G. It is called a central Frattini extension if A is contained in the intersection of the centre and the Frattini subgroup of H . The result of the paper is that, given a finite abelian A and finite G, there exists a central Frattini extension of A by G...

For a split semisimple Chevalley group scheme G with Lie algebra g over an arbitrary base scheme S, we consider the quotient of g by the adjoint action of G. We study in detail the structure of g over S. Given a maximal torus T with Lie algebra t and associated Weyl group W , we show that the Chevalley morphism π : t/W → g/G is an isomorphism except for the group Sp2n over a base with 2-torsion...

We relate two measures of complexity of regular languages. The first is syntactic complexity, that is, the cardinality of the syntactic semigroup of the language. That semigroup is isomorphic to the semigroup of transformations of states induced by non-empty words in the minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting the language. If the language has n left quotients (its minimal automaton ha...

In this paper we derive a new algorithm for constructing a uni-tary decomposition of a sequence of matrices in product or quotient form. The unitary decomposition requires only unitary left and right transformations on the individual matrices and amounts to computing the generalized singular value decomposition of the sequence. The proposed algorithm is related to the classical Golub-Kahan proc...
