A Non-extended Hermitian Form over Z[z]
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a nonsingular hermitian form of rank 4 over the group ring Z[Z] which is not extended from the integers. Moreover, we show that under certain indefiniteness asumptions, every nonsingular hermitian form on a free Z[Z]module is extended from the integers. As a corollary, there exists a closed oriented 4-dimensional manifold with fundamental group Z which is not the connected sum of S × S with a simply-connected 4-manifold.

Let H be any complex inner product space with inner product < ·, · >. We say that f : | C → | C is Hermitian positive definite on H if the matrix ( f(< z,z >) )n r,s=1 (∗) is Hermitian positive definite for all choice of z, . . . ,z in H, all n. It is strictly Hermitian positive definite if the matrix (∗) is also non-singular for any choice of distinct z, . . . ,z in H. In this article we prove...

Let D be a positive definite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field K, F (X, Y ) a hermitian form in 2N variables over D, and Z a right D-vector space which is isotropic with respect to F . We prove the existence of a small-height basis for Z over D, such that F (X, X) vanishes at each of the basis vectors. This constitutes a non-commutative analogue of a theorem of Vaaler [19], an...

Let (M, θ) be a strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-Hermitian compact hypersurface in C in the sense of Webster [34] with a pseudo-Hermitian real oneform θ on M . Let Rθ be the Webster pseudo scalar curvature for M with respect to θ. By the solution of the CR Yamabe problem given by Jerison and Lee [18], Gamara and Yacoub [10] and Gamara [9] (for n = 1), there is a pseudo-Hermitian real one-form θ so ...

Rognes andWeibel used Voevodsky’s work on the Milnor conjecture to deduce the strong Dwyer-Friedlander form of the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture at the prime 2. In consequence (the 2-completion of) the classifying space for algebraic K-theory of the integers Z[1/2] can be expressed as a fiber product of wellunderstood spaces BO and BGL(F3) over BU . Similar results are now obtained for Hermiti...

Let Z be a positive hermitian Jordan triple system and B be any connected component of its regular set. A general framework for studying Hardy spaces and associated Toeplitz operators over B is developed. As application , the full spectrum of all Hardy-Toeplitz C-algebras is constructed for the example Z = Sym(2; C), leading to a complete C-structure theory, described in terms of the facial bou...
