Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring and let M be a nitely generated R-module. If I is an ideal of R generated by M-regular sequence, then we study the vanishing of the rst Tor functors. Moreover, for Artinian modules and coregular sequences we examine the vanishing of the rst Ext functors.

‎Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎We say that an element $g$ in $G$ is a vanishing element if there exists some irreducible character $chi$ of $G$ such that $chi(g)=0$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we classify groups whose set of vanishing elements is exactly a conjugacy class‎.

Tour into the picture (TIP) proposed by Horry et al.[1] is a method for generating a sequence of walk-through images from a single reference picture (or image). By navigating a 3D scene model constructed from the picture, TIP produced convincing 3D effects. Assuming that the picture has one vanishing point, they proposed the scene modeling scheme called spidery mesh. However, this scheme has to...

In this paper, we study a class of Finsler metrics with orthogonal invariance. We find an equation that characterizes these Finsler metrics of almost vanishing H-curvature. As a consequence, we show that all orthogonally invariant Finsler metrics of almost vanishing H-curvature are of almost vanishing Ξ-curvature and corresponding one forms are exact, generalizing a result previously only known...

An example of homogeneous space which has no metric but has a connection with non–vanishing curvature suggests that " spacetime " should be not defined as a pair (M, g), a manifold plus a metric, but as a pair (M, Γ) — a differentiable manifold plus a connection. The general theory of homogeneous spaces ensures the existence of a certain well–defined connection independently of the existence of...

If A• is a bounded, constructible complex of sheaves on a complex analytic space X, and f : X → C and g : X → C are complex analytic functions, then the iterated vanishing cycles φg[−1](φf [−1]A •) are important for a number of reasons. We give a formula for the stalk cohomology H∗(φg[−1]φf [−1]A •)x in terms of relative polar curves, algebra, and the normal Morse data and micro-support of A•.

Received () Revised () Recurrent nets are in principle capable to store past inputs to produce the currently desired output. Because of this property recurrent nets are used in time series prediction and process control. Practical applications involve temporal dependencies spanning many time steps, e.g. between relevant inputs and desired outputs. In this case, however, gradient based learning ...

This paper studies the vanishing of $Ext$ modules over group rings. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ga$ a group. We provide a criterion under which the vanishing of self extensions of a finitely generated $Rga$-module $M$ forces it to be projective. Using this result, it is shown that $Rga$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, whenever $R$ has finite global dimension and $ga...
