in this paper we show that if q is a power of a prime p , then the projective special linear group psl(2, q) and the stabilizer of a point of the projective line have maximum sum element orders among all proper subgroups of projective general linear group pgl(2, q) for q odd and even respectively

Parametric surfaces in various representations, such as Bézier-and B-spline-tensorproduct patches, triangular patches etc., play an important role in CAGD-applications. Connecting patches with different degree of continuity and trimming surfaces are well-known techniques to construct a variety of shapes like ship hulls, car bodies, etc. For finite element analysis, stereolithography, rendering ...

We compute the spectrum of the Dirac operator on 3-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds. The behavior under collapse to the 2-torus is studied. Depending on the spin structure either all eigenvalues tend to ±∞ or there are eigenvalues converging to those of the torus. This is shown to be true in general for collapsing circle bundles with totally geodesic fibers. Using the Hopf fibration we use this...

We introduce a quantum Minkowski space-time based on the quantum group SU(2)q extended by a degree operator and formulate a quantum version of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equation. We construct solutions of the quantum equations using the classical ADHM linear data, and conjecture that, up to gauge transformations, our construction yields all the solutions. We also find a deformation of Penro...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Yibin University, Yibin, Sichuan 644007, China Abstract In this article, the demiclosedness principle for total asymptotically pseudocontractions in Banach spaces is established. The strong convergence to a common fixed point of total asymptotically pseudocontractive semigroups in Banach spaces is established based on the demiclosednes...

A completion via Frink ideals is used to define a convex powerdomain of an arbitrary continuous lattice as a continuous lattice. The powerdomain operator is a functor in the category of continuous lattices and continuous inf-preserving maps and preserves projective limits and surjectivity of morphisms; hence one can solve domain equations in which it occurs. Analogous results hold for algebraic...

A transition effect matrix (TEM) is a quantum generalization of a classical stochastic matrix. By employing a TEM we obtain a quantum generalization of a classical Markov chain. We first discuss state and operator dynamics for a quantum Markov chain. We then consider various types of TEMs and vector states. In particular, we study invariant, equilibrium and singular vector states and investigat...

We present several results on the geometry of the quantum projective plane CPq. They include: explicit generators for the K-theory and the K-homology; a real calculus with a Hodge star operator; anti-selfdual connections on line bundles with explicit computation of the corresponding ‘monopoles’ and ‘instanton’ charges; complete diagonalization of gauged Laplacians on these line bundles; quantum...

We present a scheme for a projective measurement of the parity operator Pz = Product(N)i=1 sigma(i)z of N qubits. Our protocol uses a single ancillary qubit, or a probe qubit, and involves manipulations of the total spin of the N qubits without requiring individual addressing. We illustrate our protocol in terms of an experimental implementation with atomic ions in a two-zone linear Paul trap, ...
