This paper aims to provide support for the view that individual concepts are basic to natural language semantics. First, the use of constant individual concepts allows us to maintain Kripke’s view of proper names as nondescriptional rigid designators in the face of problems created by so-called “empty names.” And second, the distinction between constant and variable individual concepts can func...

We give a partial positive answer to a conjecture of Tyurin ([28]). Indeed we prove that on a general quintic hypersurface of P every arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay rank 2 vector bundle is infinitesimally rigid.

Let A be a Hopf algebra in a braided rigid category B. In the case B admits a coend C, which is a Hopf algebra in B, we defined in 2008 the double D(A) = A⊗ A⊗C of A, which is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra in B whose category of modules is isomorphic to the center of the category of A-modules as a braided category. Here, quasitriangular means endowed with an R-matrix (our notion of R-matrix fo...

We study properties of a C2-cofinite vertex operator algebra V = ⊕ ∞ i=0Vi of CFT type. If it is also rational (i.e. all modules are completely reducible) and V ′ ∼= V , then the rigidity of the tensor category of modules has been proved by Huang [11], where V ′ denotes the restricted dual of V . However, when we treat irrational C2cofinite VOAs, the rigidity is too strong, because it is almost...

‎A module $M$ is lifting if and only if $M$ is amply supplemented and‎ ‎every coclosed submodule of $M$ is a direct summand‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we are‎ ‎interested in a generalization of lifting modules by removing the condition‎"‎amply supplemented‎" ‎and just focus on modules such that every non-cosingular‎ ‎submodule of them is a summand‎. ‎We call these modules NS‎. ‎We investigate some gen...

An R-module M is called strongly noncosingular if it has no nonzero Rad-small (cosingular) homomorphic image in the sense of Harada. It is proven that (1) an R-module M is strongly noncosingular if and only if M is coatomic and noncosingular; (2) a right perfect ring R is Artinian hereditary serial if and only if the class of injective modules coincides with the class of (strongly) noncosingula...

Abstract This paper develops a wheel profile fine-tuning system (WPFTS) that comprehensively considers the influence of on damage, vehicle stability, safety, and passenger comfort. WPFTS can recommend one or more optimized profiles according to train operators’ needs, e.g., reducing wear, mitigating development out-of-roundness (OOR), improving shape stability profile. Specifically, includes fo...

Let $alpha$ be an endomorphism and $delta$ an $alpha$-derivationof a ring $R$.  In this paper we  study the relationship between an$R$-module $M_R$ and the  general polynomial module  $M[x]$ over theskew polynomial ring $R[x;alpha,delta]$. We introduce the notionsof skew-Armendariz modules and skew quasi-Armendariz modules whichare generalizations of $alpha$-Armendariz modules and extend thecla...

The paper uses a new approach to investigate prime submodules and minimal prime submodules of certain modules such as Artinian and torsion modules. In particular, we introduce a concrete formula for the radical of submodules of Artinian modules.

this study proposes a new linear approximation for solving the dynamic response equations of a rocking rigid block. linearization assumptions which have already been used by hounser and other researchers cannot be valid for all rocking blocks with various slenderness ratios and dimensions; hence, developing new methods which can result in better approximation of governing equations while keepin...
