The distribution of ideal class groups of Fq(T, √ M(T )) is examined for degree-four monic polynomials M ∈ Fq[T ] when Fq is a finite field of characteristic greater than 3 with q ∈ [20000, 100000] or q ∈ [1020000, 1100000] and M is irreducible or has an irreducible cubic factor. Particular attention is paid to the distribution of the p-Sylow part of the class group, and these results agree wit...

We show that the maximal subgroup of the free profinite semigroup associated by Almeida to an irreducible sofic shift is a free profinite group, generalizing an earlier result of the second author for the case of the full shift (whose corresponding maximal subgroup is the maximal subgroup of the minimal ideal). A corresponding result is proved for certain relatively free profinite semigroups. W...

For a compact, orientable, irreducible, ∂-irreducible, and an-annular 3-manifold, it is shown there are only finitely many boundary slopes for incompressible ∂-incompressible surfaces of bounded Euler characteristic. We use normal surface theory the inverse relationship crushing triangulation along [8] that inflating an ideal [12] to introduce study boundary-efficient triangulations end-efficie...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of soft ideal in soft set theory. The concept of soft local function is also introduced. These concepts are discussed with a view to find new soft topologies from the original one. The basic structure, especially a basis for such generated soft topologies also studied here. Finally, the notion of compatibility of soft ideals with soft topolog...

We study the structure of 0-primitive near-rings and are able to answer an open question in the theory of minimal ideals in near-rings to the negative, namely if the heart of a zero symmetric subdirectly irreducible near-ring is subdirectly irreducible again. Also, we will be able to classify when a simple near-ring with an identity and containing a minimal left ideal is a Jacobson radical near...

Let o be a complete discrete valuation domain with finite residue field. In this paper we describe the irreducible representations of the groups Aut(M) for any finite o-module M of rank two. The main emphasis is on the interaction between the different groups and their representations. An induction scheme is developed in order to study the whole family of these groups coherently. The results ob...

We study conditions on a C∗-dynamical system (A,G,α) under which induction of primitive ideals (resp. irreducible representations) from stabilizers for the action of G on the primitive ideal space Prim(A) give primitive ideals (resp. irreducible representations) of the crossed product A⋊α G. The results build on earlier results of Sauvageot [17] and others, and will correct a (possibly overly o...

We calculate the real rank and stable rank of CCR algebras which either have only finite dimensional irreducible representations or have finite topological dimension. We show that either rank of A is determined in a good way by the ranks of an ideal I and the quotient A/I in four cases: When A is CCR; when I has only finite dimensional irreducible representations; when I is separable, of genera...

The notions of uni-soft semigroups, uni-soft left (right) ideals and uni-soft quasi ideals are introduced, and related properties are investigated. Characterizations of uni-soft semigroups, uni-soft left (right) ideals and uni-soft quasi ideals are discussed. A regular semigroup is characterized by the notion of a uni-soft quasi ideal.
