چکیده

We characterise Mod classes in terms of #P functions, where the membership is determined by co-primality or gcd testing of the function value (Theorem 3.1), instead of residue (mod k) testing. Imposing a restriction on the range of the functions gives a characterisation of the intersection of Mod classes (Theorem 3.2). These intersection classes, which we denote by Mod ∩k P , are interesting because they share most of the “nice” properties (closure under complementation, normal forms, lowness for itself etc) of ModpP for prime p. We show that the class Mod ∩k P is low for ModkP , and also for Mod ∩k P itself (Theorem 3.3). We also strengthen some of the separation results known for Mod classes. A diagonalisation argument due to Beigel shows that when k is a prime not dividing j, ModjP can be separated from ModkP in some relativised world. We observe that this argument even separates Mod ∩j P from ModkP under the same conditions (Theorem 4.1). Further, if k is not known to be prime, the same argument still diagonalises, but out of a smaller class; it separates Mod ∩j P from Mod ∩k P (Theorem 4.2). The class ModP was defined in [6] as a generalisation of the Mod classes. We define a simple generalisation, ModKP , and show that it coincides with the disjunctive truth table closure of ModP , P dtt (Theorem 5.2). We give neat characterisations of P ModP dtt and P ModP ctt (Theorem 5.3), and also a new characterisation of ModP (Theorem 5.4). The results of section 5 thus give us an overall picture of the relations between the generalised Mod classes as shown in Figure 1. Arrows denote containment, and connections tagged coindicate that the corresponding classes are the Co-classes of each other.

A note on the new basis in the mod 2 Steenrod algebra

‎The Mod $2$ Steenrod algebra is a Hopf algebra that consists of the primary cohomology operations‎, ‎denoted by $Sq^n$‎, ‎between the cohomology groups with $mathbb{Z}_2$ coefficients of any topological space‎. ‎Regarding to its vector space structure over $mathbb{Z}_2$‎, ‎it has many base systems and some of the base systems can also be restricted to its sub algebras‎. ‎On the contrary‎, ‎in ...

A note on the abelianizations of finite-index subgroups of the mapping class group

Let Σ g,b be an oriented genus g surface with b boundary components and p punctures and let Mod(Σ g,b) be its mapping class group, that is, the group of isotopy classes of orientation–preserving diffeomorphisms of Σ g,b that fix the boundary components and punctures pointwise (we will omit b or p if they vanish). A long–standing conjecture of Ivanov (see [7] for a recent discussion) says that f...

Rank one phenomena for mapping class groups

Let Σg be a closed, orientable, connected surface of genus g ≥ 1. The mapping class group Mod(Σg) is the group Homeo(Σg)/Homeo0(Σg) of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of Σg. It has been a recurring theme to compare the group Mod(Σg) and its action on the Teichmüller space T (Σg) to lattices in simple Lie groups and their actions on the associated symmetric spaces. Indee...

Structural Properties of Colonies with t mod Derivation

To study structural properties of PM-Colonies the classes of languages: Reachable, Unreachable, Alive, Dead, etc. were introduced. In this paper we study these classes of languages in colonies with t mod derivation. We show possible combinations of these classes of languages in t mod colony and other interesting structural properties of t mod colonies.
