    Questions About Boij-S\" Oderberg Theory

    QUESTIONS ABOUT BOIJ–SODERBERG¨ THEORY DANIEL ERMAN AND STEVEN V SAM 1. Background on Boij–Soderberg¨ Theory Boij–S¨oderberg theory focuses on the properties and duality relationship between two types of numerical invariants. One side involves the Betti table of a graded free resolution over the polynomial ring. The other side involves the cohomology table of a coherent sheaf on projective space. The theory began with a conjectural description of the cone of Betti tables of finite length modules, given in [10]. Those conjectures were proven in [25], which also described the cone of cohomology tables of vector bundles and illustrated a sort of duality between Betti tables and cohomology tables. The theory itself has since expanded in many directions: allowing modules whose support has higher dimension, replacing vector bundles by coherent sheaves, working over rings other than the polynomial ring, and so on. But at its core, Boij–S¨oderberg theory involves: (1) A classification, up to scalar multiple, of the possible Betti tables of some class of objects (for example, free resolutions of finitely generated modules of dimension ≤ c). (2) A classification, up to scalar multiple, of the cohomology tables of some class of objects (for examples, coherent sheaves of dimension ≤ n − c). (3) Intersection theory-style duality results between Betti tables and cohomology tables. One motivation behind Boij and S¨oderberg’s conjectures was the observation that it would yield an immediate proof of the Cohen–Macaulay version of the Multiplicity Conjectures of Herzog–Huneke–Srinivasan [44]. Eisenbud and Schreyer’s [25] thus yielded an immediate proof of that conjecture, and the subsequent papers [11, 26] provided a proof of the Mul- tiplicity Conjecture for non-Cohen–Macaulay modules.

    Jonathan Michael Borwein 1951 { 2016: Life and Legacy Richard P. Brent∗ Abstract Jonathan M. Borwein (1951{2016) was a prolific mathematician whose career spanned several countries (UK, Canada, USA, Australia) and whose many interests included analysis, optimisation, number theory, special functions, experimental mathematics, mathematical finance, mathematical education, and visualisation. We describe his life and legacy, and give an annotated bibliography of some of his most significant books and papers. 1 Life and Family Jonathan (Jon) Michael Borwein was born in St Andrews, Scotland, on 20 May 1951. He was the first of three children of David Borwein (1924{2021) and Bessie Borwein (n´eeFlax). It was an itinerant academic family. Both Jon's father David and his younger brother Peter Borwein (1953{2020) are well-known mathematicians and occasional co-authors of Jon. His mother Bessie is a former professor of anatomy. The Borweins have an Ashkenazy Jewish background. Jon's father was born in Lithuania, moved in 1930 with arXiv:2107.06030v4 [math.HO] 15 Sep 2021 his family to South Africa (where he met his future wife Bessie), and moved with Bessie to the UK in 1948. There he obtained a PhD (London) and then a Lectureship in St Andrews, Scotland, where Jon was born and went to school at Madras College. The family, including Jon and his two siblings, moved to Ontario, Canada, in 1963.

  • Right Ideals of a Ring and Sublanguages of Science

    Right Ideals of a Ring and Sublanguages of Science

    RIGHT IDEALS OF A RING AND SUBLANGUAGES OF SCIENCE Javier Arias Navarro Ph.D. In General Linguistics and Spanish Language http://www.javierarias.info/ Abstract Among Zellig Harris’s numerous contributions to linguistics his theory of the sublanguages of science probably ranks among the most underrated. However, not only has this theory led to some exhaustive and meaningful applications in the study of the grammar of immunology language and its changes over time, but it also illustrates the nature of mathematical relations between chunks or subsets of a grammar and the language as a whole. This becomes most clear when dealing with the connection between metalanguage and language, as well as when reflecting on operators. This paper tries to justify the claim that the sublanguages of science stand in a particular algebraic relation to the rest of the language they are embedded in, namely, that of right ideals in a ring. Keywords: Zellig Sabbetai Harris, Information Structure of Language, Sublanguages of Science, Ideal Numbers, Ernst Kummer, Ideals, Richard Dedekind, Ring Theory, Right Ideals, Emmy Noether, Order Theory, Marshall Harvey Stone. §1. Preliminary Word In recent work (Arias 2015)1 a line of research has been outlined in which the basic tenets underpinning the algebraic treatment of language are explored. The claim was there made that the concept of ideal in a ring could account for the structure of so- called sublanguages of science in a very precise way. The present text is based on that work, by exploring in some detail the consequences of such statement. §2. Introduction Zellig Harris (1909-1992) contributions to the field of linguistics were manifold and in many respects of utmost significance.
  • Representations of Finite Groups

    Representations of Finite Groups

    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 15/2006 Representations of Finite Groups Organised by Alexander S. Kleshchev (Eugene) Markus Linckelmann (Aberdeen) Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern) Jeremy Rickard (Bristol) March 26th – April 1st, 2006 Abstract. The workshop ”Representations of finite groups” was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Aberdeen), G. Malle (Kaiser- slautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20-06 20Cxx. Introduction by the Organisers The meeting was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Ab- erdeen), G. Malle (Kaiserslautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). This meeting was attended by over 50 participants with broad geographic representation. It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. This workshop was sponsored by a project of the Eu- ropean Union which allowed us to invite in addition to established researchers also a couple of young people working on a PhD in representation theory. In eleven longer lectures of 40 minutes each and twentytwo shorter contributions of 30 min- utes each, recent progress in representation theory was presented and interesting new research directions were proposed. Besides the lectures, there was plenty of time for informal discussion between the participants, either continuing ongoing research cooperation or starting new projects. The topics of the talks came roughly from two major areas: on the one hand side, the investigation of representation theoretic properties of general finite groups and related objects, on the other hand the determination and detailed analysis of representations of special classes of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras.

Osher, Chair In this dissertation, we provide efficient algorithms for modeling the behavior of a single agent, multiple agents, and a continuum of agents. For a single agent, we combine the modeling framework of optimal control with advances in optimization splitting in order to efficiently find optimal paths for problems in very high-dimensions, thus providing allevia- tion from the curse of dimensionality. For a multiple, but finite, number of agents, we take the framework of multi-agent reinforcement learning and utilize imitation learning in order to decentralize a centralized expert, thus obtaining optimal multi-agents that act in a de- centralized fashion. For a continuum of agents, we take the framework of mean-field games and use two neural networks, which we train in an alternating scheme, in order to efficiently find optimal paths for high-dimensional and stochastic problems.

One of the most noticeable is the result of Metivier establishing Received in revised form 23 December 2010 Majda's ``block structure condition'' for constantly hyperbolic operators, which implies Accepted 28 December 2010 well-posedness for the initial–boundary value problem (IBVP) with zero initial data. The well-posedness of the IBVP with non-zero initial data requires that ``L2 is a continuable Keywords: initial condition''. For strictly hyperbolic systems, this result was proven by Rauch. We Boundary value problem prove here, by using classical matrix theory, that his fundamental a priori estimates are Hyperbolicity Multiple characteristics valid for constantly hyperbolic IBVPs.
