We shall give an explicit form of the Artin-Tschebotareff density theorem in function fields with several variable over finite fields. It may be an analogous prime number theorem in the higher dimensional case.
The construction of the fiber polytope ∑(P, Q) of a projection π:P→Q of polytopes is extended to flags of projections. While the faces of the fiber polytope are related to subdivisions of Q induced by the faces of P, those of an iterated fiber polytope are related to discrete homotopies between polyhedral subdivisions. In particular, in the case of projections
starting with an (n + 1)-simplex, vertices of the successive iterates correspond to, respectively, subsets, permutations and sequences of permutations of an n-set. The first iterate will always be combinatorially an n-cube, and, under certain conditions, the second will have the structure of the (n−1)-dimensional permutohedron.
Kreck and Stolz recently exhibited exotic structures on a family of seven dimensional homogeneous spaces which are quotients of the compact Lie group SU3. We observe that there is an invariant obtained via the Pontrjagin–Thorn construction which detects these exotic structures in many cases.
We prove a result related to the Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem: Let p and q be primes, α a positive integer, and m∈{pα, pαq}. Then for any sequence of integers c= {c1, c2,…, cn} there are at least
subsequences of length m, whose terms add up to 0 modulo m (Theorem 8). We also show why it is unlikely that the result is true for any m not of the form pα or pαq (Theorem 9).
We prove theorems relating descriptive set theory to nonreflexive Banach spaces. In Theorems 1, 2, and 3 X denotes a Banach space that is separable, but is not reflexive. JX denotes the cannonical embedding of X in X**.
Experiments indicate the importance of three-dimensional action during transition, while high-Reynolds-number-flow theory indicates a multi-structured type of analysis. In line with this, the three-dimensional nonlinear unsteady triple-deck problem is addressed here, for slower transition. High-amplitude/high-frequency properties show enhanced disturbance growth occurring downstream for single nonlinear oblique waves inclined at angles greater than tan−1 √2 (≈54.7°) to the free stream, in certain interesting special cases. The three-dimensional response there is very ‘spiky’ and possibly random, with sideband instabilities present. A second nonlinear stage, and then an Euler stage, are entered further downstream, although faster transition can go straight into these more nonlinear stages. More general cases are also considered. Sideband effects, sublayer bursting and secondary instabilities are discussed, along with the relation to experimental observations.
Dimension prints were developed in 1988 to distinguish between different fractal sets in Euclidean spaces having the same Hausdorff dimension but with very different geometric characteristics. In this paper we compute the dimension prints of some fractal sets, including generalized Cantor sets on the unit circle S1 in ℝ2 and the graphs of generalized Lebesgue functions, also in ℝ2. In this second case we show that the dimension print for the graphs of the Lebesgue functions can approach the maximal dimension print of a set of dimension 1. We study the dimension prints of Cartesian products of linear Borel sets and obtain the exact dimension print when each linear set has positive measure in its dimension and the dimension of the Cartesian product is the sum of the dimensions of the factors.
