TL;DR: In this paper, an inequality bounding the growth rate of the volumes of iterates of smooth submanifolds in terms of the topological entropy was proved, which implies the entropy conjecture.
Abstract: An inequality is proved, bounding the growth rates of the volumes of iterates of smooth submanifolds in terms of the topological entropy. ForC x-smooth mappings this inequality implies the entropy conjecture, and, together with the opposite inequality, obtained by S. Newhouse, proves the coincidence of the growth rate of volumes and the topological entropy, as well as the upper semicontinuity of the entropy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main problem of restricted invertibility of linear operators acting on finite dimensionallp-spaces is investigated, and the results obtained below enable us to complete earlier work on the structure of complemented subspaces of lp-space which have extremal euclidean distance.
Abstract: The main problem investigated in this paper is that of restricted invertibility of linear operators acting on finite dimensionallp-spaces. Our initial motivation to study such questions lies in their applications. The results obtained below enable us to complete earlier work on the structure of complemented subspaces ofLp-spaces which have extremal euclidean distance.

TL;DR: In this article, a prime ring with the centerZ and the extended centroidC is considered, and a polynomial over C in noncommuting variablesx>>\s 1, …,..., X>>\s n ∈ the ring of all 2 × 2 matrices over GF(2) is considered.
Abstract: SupposeR is a prime ring with the centerZ and the extended centroidC. Letp(x 1, …,x n) be a polynomial overC in noncommuting variablesx 1, …,x n. LetI be a nonzero ideal ofR andA be the additive subgroup ofRC generated by {p(a 1, …,a n):a 1, …,a n ∈I}. Then eitherp(x 1, …,x n) is central valued orA contains a noncentral Lie ideal ofR except in the only one case whereR is the ring of all 2 × 2 matrices over GF(2), the integers mod 2.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the complex Grothendieck constant has an upper bound of 8/π(k petertodd 0+1) ≈ 1.40491.
Abstract: Let ϕ denote the real function $$\varphi (k) = k\smallint _0^{\pi /2} \frac{{cos^2 t}}{{\sqrt {1 - k^2 sin ^2 t} }}dt, - 1 \leqq k \leqq 1$$ and letK G C be the complex Grothendieck constant. It is proved thatK G C ≦8/π(k 0+1), wherek 0 is the (unique) solution to the equationϕ(k)=1/8π(k+1) in the interval [0,1]. One has 8/π(k 0+1) ≈ 1.40491. The previously known upper bound isK G C ≦e 1−y ≈ 1.52621 obtained by Pisier in 1976.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an algorithm which, for a given combinatorial (d − 2)-sphereS withn vertices, determines the setC d,n(S) of rankd oriented matroids withn points and face latticeS. Since S is polytopal if and only if there is a realizable M eC c,n (S)
Abstract: The convexity theory for oriented matroids, first developed by Las Vergnas [17], provides the framework for a new computational approach to the Steinitz problem [13]. We describe an algorithm which, for a given combinatorial (d − 2)-sphereS withn vertices, determines the setC d,n(S) of rankd oriented matroids withn points and face latticeS. SinceS is polytopal if and only if there is a realizableM eC d,n(S), this method together with the coordinatizability test for oriented matroids in [10] yields a decision procedure for the polytopality of a large class of spheres. As main new result we prove that there exist 431 combinatorial types of neighborly 5-polytopes with 10 vertices by establishing coordinates for 98 “doubted polytopes” in the classification of Altshuler [1]. We show that for alln ≧k + 5 ≧8 there exist simplicialk-spheres withn vertices which are non-polytopal due to the simple fact that they fail to be matroid spheres. On the other hand, we show that the 3-sphereM 963 9 with 9 vertices in [2] is the smallest non-polytopal matroid sphere, and non-polytopal matroidk-spheres withn vertices exist for alln ≧k + 6 ≧ 9.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any map from a space with finitely many non-vanishing homotopy groups into a finite complex is phantom and that any fibration over a 2-connected space with finite complex and with fiber is trivial over each skeleton of the base.
Abstract: A mapf:X →Y is a phantom map if any composition off with a map from a finite complex intoX is null homotopic. The proof of the Sullivan conjecture by H. Miller enables us to understand more deeply this phenomena. We prove, among other things, that any map from a space with finitely many non-vanishing homotopy groups into a finite complex is phantom and that any fibration over a 2-connected space with finitely many non-vanishing homotopy groups and with fiber a finite complex is trivial over each skeleton of the base.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that locally over a nonarchimedean field F, this correspondence is injective on generic representations (i.e. with Whittaker model) of GSp(4,F).
Abstract: Consider the θ-correspondence from GSp(4) to GSO(6). We prove that locally over a nonarchimedean fieldF, this correspondence is injective on generic representations (i.e. with Whittaker model) of GSp(4,F). We use this to show the strong multiplicity one property for irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representations of GSp(4,A), which are generic.

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of Poincare sequences of integers which are not van der Corput sets was proved by showing that the generic density condition for both properties are the same.
Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of Poincare sequences of integers which are not van der Corput sets. This problem was considered in I. Ruzsa’s expository article [R1] (1982–83) on correlative and intersective sets. Thus the existence is shown of a positive non-continuous measureμ on the circle which Fourier transform vanishes on a set of recurrence, i.e.S={n ∈Z;\(\hat \mu \)(n)=0} is a set of recurrence but not a van der Corput set. The method is constructive and involves some combinatorial considerations. In fact, we prove that the generic density condition for both properties are the same.

TL;DR: In this article, the Jacobson radical of R * U(L) for a Lie algebra over a field K which acts as K-derivations on a K-algebra R is described.
Abstract: LetL be a Lie algebra over a fieldK which acts asK-derivations on aK-algebraR. Then this action determines a crossed productR *U(L) whereU(L) is the enveloping algebra ofL. The goal of this paper is to describe the Jacobson radical ofR * U(L) forL≠0. We are most successful whenR is a p.i. algebra or Noetherian. In more general situations we at least obtain upper and lower bounds forJ(R * U(L)) which are ideals extended fromR. Furthermore, we offer an interesting example in all characteristics of a commutativeK-algebraC which admits a derivationδ such thatC isδ-prime but not semiprime.

Abstract: Supposef*(z) is aK*-qc self-homeomorphism of the unit diskU, whereK* is the minimum possible value among all qc mappings ofU with the same boundary values asf*. It is known thatK* can be calculated by a variational principle involving mappings ofU harmonic with respect to admissible weight functions. We examine the weight functions that correspond to the case when the extremum for the variational principle is attained, and characterize the corresponding mappingsf*.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any noncentral additive subgroup of R invariant under special automorphisms contains a noncentral Lie ideal under the assumption that R possesses nontrivial idempotents.
Abstract: Suppose thatR is a prime ring with the centerZ and the extended centroidC. An additive subgroupA ofR is said to be invariant under special automorphisms if (1+t)A(1+t)−1 ⊆A for allt ∈R such thatt 2=0. Assume thatR possesses nontrivial idempotents. We prove: (1) If chR ≠ 2 or ifRC ≠C 2, then any noncentral additive subgroup ofR invariant under special automorphisms contains a noncentral Lie ideal. (2) If chR=2,RC=C 2 andC ≠ {0, 1}, then the following two conditions are equivalent: (i) any noncentral additive subgroup invariant under special automorphisms contains a noncentral Lie ideal; (ii) there isα ∈Z / {0} such thatα 2 Z ⊆ {β 2:β ∈Z}.

Abstract: We prove that suitable iteration does not collapse ℵ1 [and does not add reals], ie, that in such iteration, certain sealing of maximal antichains of stationary subsets ofω 1 is allowed As an application, eg, we prove from supercompact hypotheses, mainly, the consistency of: ZFC + GCH + “for some stationary setS ⊆ω 1, {ie345-1}(ω 1)/(D ω 1 +S) is the Levy algebra” (ie, the complete Boolean Algebra corresponding to the Levy collapse Levy (ℵ0,<ℵ2) (and we can add “a variant of PFA”) and the consistency of the same, with “Ulam property” replacing “Levy algebra”) The paper assumes no specialized knowledge (if you agree to believe in the semi-properness iteration theorem and RCS iteration)
