چکیده

Let Γ be a group and rn(Γ) the number of its n-dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function ZΓ(s) = ∞ ∑ n=1 rn(Γ)n . When Γ is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then ZΓ(s) has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite place counts the finite representations of suitable open subgroups U of the associated simple group G over the associated local field K. Here we show a surprising dichotomy: if G(K) is compact (i.e. G anisotropic over K) the abscissa of convergence goes to 0 when dimG goes to infinity, but for isotropic groups it is bounded away from 0. As a consequence, there is an unconditional positive lower bound for the abscissa for arbitrary finitely generated linear groups. We end with some observations and conjectures regarding the global abscissa.

Algorithms for Segmenting Time Series

As with most computer science problems, representation of the data is the key to ecient and eective solutions. Piecewise linear representation has been used for the representation of the data. This representation has been used by various researchers to support clustering, classication, indexing and association rule mining of time series data. A variety of algorithms have been proposed to obtain...

The Effect of Zinc Supplementation on Linear Growth and Growth Factors in Primary Schoolchildren in the Suburbs Mashhad, Iran

Background: Zinc is an essential trace element required for the functional activity of several enzyme systems. Several studies have been carried out to assess the effect of zinc supplementation on children’s growth, but controversy exists as to the effect of zinc on growth and GH-IGF-I system. Objective:  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on linear growth ...

Groups with Two Extreme Character Degrees and their Minimal Faithful Representations

for a finite group G, we denote by p(G) the minimal degree of faithful permutation representations of G, and denote by c(G), the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C. In this paper we will assume that, G is a p-group of exponent p and class 2, where p is prime and cd(G) = {1, |G : Z(G)|^1/2}. Then we will s...

Zinc Supplementation Effect on Linear Growth in Transfusion Dependent β Thalassemia

Objective: Thalassemic patients are at risk of zinc deficiency due to various causes including desferal injection, hyperzincuria, high ferritin levels, and hepatic iron overload. We evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on linear growth of beta-thalassemia patients. Methods: one-hundred beta-thalassemic major patients whose heights were within 3rd to l0th percentile were randomly divided ...
