Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We shall discuss the cohomology algebras of a block ideal B of the group algebra kG of a finite group G and a block ideal C of the block ideal of kH of a subgroup H of G which are in Brauer correspondence and have a common defect group, continuing [4]. We shall define a (B,C)-bimodule L. The k-dual L∗ induces the transfer map between t...

Let G = GLn(q) be the general linear group of degree n ≥ 2 defined over a finite field Fq of characteristic p. We fix a prime l 6= p and let stand R for a local principal ideal domain having characteristic 0, maximal ideal lR, and containing a primitive p-th root of unity. Then the residue field K = R/lR has characteristic l and a primitive p-th root of unity. By a Steinberg lattice of G over R...

The carpool problem is to schedule for every time t ∈ N l tasks taken from the set [n] (n ≥ 2). Each task i has a weight wi(t) ≥ 0, where ∑n i=1 wi(t) = l. We let ci(t) ∈ {0, 1} be 1 iff task i is scheduled at time t, where (carpool condition) wi(t) = 0 ⇒ ci(t) = 0. The carpool problem exists in the literature for l = 1, with a goal to make the schedule fair, by bounding the absolute value of E...

In this paper we continue our study of the Frattini p-subalgebra of a Lie />-algebra L. We show first that if L is solvable then its Frattini p-subalgebra is an ideal of L. We then consider Lie p-algebras L in which X. is nilpotent and find necessary and sufficient conditions for the Frattini p-subalgebra to be trivial. From this we deduce, in particular, that in such an algebra every ideal als...

Abstract. Let L be a lattice and M a bounded distributive lattice. Let ConL denote the congruence lattice of L, P (M) the Priestley dual space of M , and L (M) the lattice of continuous order-preserving maps from P (M) to L with the discrete topology. It is shown that Con(L ) ∼= (ConL) P (ConM) Λ , the lattice of continuous order-preserving maps from P (ConM) to ConL with the Lawson topology. V...

Let R be a prime ring, H a generalized derivation of R and L a noncommutative Lie ideal of R. Suppose that usH(u)ut = 0 for all u ∈ L, where s ≥ 0, t ≥ 0 are fixed integers. Then H(x) = 0 for all x ∈ R unless char R = 2 and R satisfies S4, the standard identity in four variables. Let R be an associative ring with center Z(R). For x, y ∈ R, the commutator xy− yx will be denoted by [x, y]. An add...

Exploiting the analogy between exemplar models and population coding schemes, we characterize, by means of information theoretic tools, the efficiency of a large but finite population of cells coding for a discrete set of categories (e.g. vowels). The optimal code is shown to typically allocate more cells to class boundaries than to regions further apart. We then discuss the predicted perceptua...

We consider the problem of designing reliable and confidential lattice codes, known as wiretap lattice codes, for fast fading channels. We identify as code design criterion for finite lattice constellations a finite sum of inverse of algebraic norms, in fact the analogous for finite sums of the known criterion for infinite constellations, which motivates us to study totally real number fields w...

Pregnancy and delivery is one of the main causes in the female body weight alteration, especially with obesity. This alteration in body weight has a significant effect not only for a femine beauty standpoint, but also for more important reproductive functions in postpartum. For the actual condition of the maternal body weight alteration and its clinical significance, we made the various analysi...

let $l$ be a lattice in $zz^n$ of dimension $m$. we prove that there exist integer constants $d$ and $m$ which are basis-independent such that the total degree of any graver element of $l$ is not greater than $m(n-m+1)md$. the case $m=1$ occurs precisely when $l$ is saturated, and in this case the bound is a reformulation of a well-known bound given by several authors. as a corollary, we show t...
