Confirming previous heuristic analyses à la Belinskii-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz, it is rigorously proven that certain “subcritical” Einstein-matter systems exhibit a monotone, generalized Kasner behaviour in the vicinity of a spacelike singularity. The D−dimensional coupled Einstein-dilaton-p-form system is subcritical if the dilaton couplings of the p-forms belong to some dimension dependent open n...

Inspired by the results of [APR], we propose combinatorial Gelfand models for semigroup algebras of some finite semigroups, which include the symmetric inverse semigroup, the dual symmetric inverse semigroup, the maximal factorizable subsemigroup in the dual symmetric inverse semigroup, and the factor power of the symmetric group. Furthermore we extend the Gelfand model for the semigroup algebr...

We will give a proof of I. G. Rosenberg’s characterization of maximal clones, first published in [11]. The theorem lists six types of relations on a finite set such that a clone over this set is maximal if and only if it contains just the functions preserving one of the relations of the list. In Universal Algebra, this translates immediately into a characterization of the finite preprimal algeb...

The classical Rubio de Francia extrapolation result asserts that if an operator T : L0(u) → Lp0,∞(u) is bounded for some p0 > 1 and every u ∈ Ap0 , then, for every 1 < p < ∞ and every u ∈ Ap, T : L(u) → Lp,∞(u) is bounded. However, there are examples showing that it is not possible to extrapolate to the end-point p = 1. In this paper we shall prove that there exists a class of weights, slightly...

This study focuses on anisotropic Sobolev type spaces associated with Banach spaces E0, E. Several conditions are found that ensure the continuity and compactness of embedding operators that are optimal regular in these spaces in terms of interpolations of E0 and E. In particular, the most regular class of interpolation spaces Eα between E0, E, depending of α and order of spaces are found that ...

Suppose M is a maximal ideal of a commutative integral domain R and that some power Mn of M is finitely generated. We show that M is finitely generated in each of the following cases: (i) M is of height one, (ii) R is integrally closed and htM = 2, (iii) R = K[X; S̃] is a monoid domain over a field K, where S̃ = S ∪ {0} is a cancellative torsion-free monoid such that ⋂∞ m=1 mS = ∅, and M is the m...

Strength and Conditioning Journal 13 in their training regimes (18, 25). It appears that explosive exercises tend to enhance an athlete’s ability to generate high rates of force development (18, 22, 25, 54), whereas slow exercises tend to impair this ability (24, 25, 50). Almost any exercise can be performed explosively depending upon the resistance used. Several studies and review articles hav...

In a recent paper we have shown that most non-expansive Lipschitz functions (in the sense of Baire’s category) have a maximal Clarke subdifferential. In the present paper, we show that in a separable Banach space the set of non-expansive Lipschitz functions with a maximal Clarke subdifferential is not only of generic, but also staunch. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 49J52.

In this paper, we study maps from reducible curves f : C∪ΓD → Pr, where f |D factors through a hyperplane H, and f |C is transverse to H. Degeneration to stable maps of this type have played a crucial role in works of Hartshorne, Ballico, and others, on special cases of the maximal rank conjecture. However, the general problem of studying when such stable maps with specified combinatorial types...

We show that the number of entire maximal graphs with finitely many singular points that are conformally equivalent is a universal constant that depends only on the number of singularities, namely 2 for graphs with n + 1 singularities. We also give an explicit description of the family of entire maximal graphs with a finite number of singularities all of them lying on a plane orthogonal to the ...
