Let G = GLn(q) be the general linear group of degree n ≥ 2 defined over a finite field Fq of characteristic p. We fix a prime l 6= p and let stand R for a local principal ideal domain having characteristic 0, maximal ideal lR, and containing a primitive p-th root of unity. Then the residue field K = R/lR has characteristic l and a primitive p-th root of unity. By a Steinberg lattice of G over R...

MicroRNAs have been established as key regulators of tumor gene expression and as prime biomarker candidates for clinical phenotypes in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We analyzed the coexpression and regulatory structure of microRNAs and their co-localized gene targets in primary tumor tissue of 20 patients with advanced EOC in order to construct a regulatory signature for clinical prognosis....

It is proven that each indecomposable injective module over a valuation domain R is polyserial if and only if each maximal immediate extension R̂ of R is of finite rank over the completion R̃ of R in the R-topology. In this case, for each indecomposable injective module E, the following invariants are finite and equal: its Malcev rank, its Fleischer rank and its dual Goldie dimension. Similar res...

The classical abelian invariants of a knot are the Alexander module, which is the first homology group of the the unique infinite cyclic covering space of S −K , considered as a module over the (commutative) Laurent polynomial ring, and the Blanchfield linking pairing defined on this module. From the perspective of the knot group, G, these invariants reflect the structure of G/G as a module ove...

A new Gaussian dispersion model, the Plume Rise Model Enhancements (PRIME), has been developed for plume rise and building downwash. PRIME considers the position of the stack relative to the building, streamline deflection near the building, and vertical wind speed shear and velocity deficit effects on plume rise. Within the wake created by a sharp-edged, rectangular building, PRIME explicitly ...

In this paper we look at the properties of modules and prime ideals in finite dimensional noetherian rings. This paper is divided into four sections. The first section deals with noetherian one-dimensional rings. Section Two deals with what we define a “zero minimum rings” and explores necessary and sufficient conditions for the property to hold. In Section Three, we come to the minimal prime i...

In the study of hereditary Noetherian rings, it is clear that hereditary Noetherian prime rings will play a central role (see, for example, [12]). Here we study the (two-sided) ideals of an hereditary Xoetherian prime ring and, as a consequence, ascertain the structure of factor rings and torsion modules. The torsion theory represents a generalization of similar results about Dedekind prime rin...

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and M an R-module. In this paper, first we give some relations between S-prime S-maximal submodules that are generalizations of prime maximal submodules, respectively. Then construct topology on the set all , which is generalization spectrum M. We investigate when SpecS(M) T0 T1-space. also study continuous maps irreducibility SpecS(M). Moreover...

1. Introduction. Let p be a prime number and F an algebraic closure of the finite field F p with p elements. Let n and N denote positive integers, N prime to p. We are interested in representations ρ of the Galois group G Q = Gal(¯ Q/Q) into GL(n, F), unramified at all finite primes not dividing pN. (We shall say ρ is unramified outside pN.) In this paper, representation will always mean contin...

In this thesis we study the ordinary and the modular representation theory of the symmetric group. In particular we focus our work on different important open questions in the area. 1. Foulkes’ Conjecture In Chapter 2 we focus our attention on the long standing open problem known as Foulkes’ Conjecture. We use methods from character theory of symmetric groups to determine new information on the...
