Let M be a closed, oriented, n-dimensional manifold. In this paper we give a Morse theoretic description of the string topology operations introduced by Chas and Sullivan, and extended by the first author, Jones, Godin, and others. We do this by studying maps from surfaces with cylindrical ends to M , such that on the cylinders, they satisfy the gradient flow equation of a Morse function on the...

Let  be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and  be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation  induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on .  Furthermore,  the correspondence   gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on  onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...

Rotation intertwining maps from the set of convex bodies in R into itself that are continuous linear operators with respect to Minkowski and Blaschke addition are investigated. The main focus is on Blaschke-Minkowski homomorphisms. We show that such maps are represented by a spherical convolution operator. An application of this representation is a complete classification of all even BlaschkeMi...

The notions of quasi-prime submodules and developed  Zariski topology was introduced by the present authors in cite{ah10}. In this paper we use these notions to define a scheme. For an $R$-module $M$, let $X:={Qin qSpec(M) mid (Q:_R M)inSpec(R)}$. It is proved that $(X, mathcal{O}_X)$ is a locally ringed space. We study the morphism of locally ringed spaces induced by $R$-homomorphism $Mrightar...

If (R,M) and (S,N) are quasilocal (commutative integral) domains and f : R → S is a (unital) ring homomorphism, then f is said to be a strong local homomorphism (resp., radical local homomorphism) if f (M) = N (resp., f (M) ⊆ N and for each x ∈ N , there exists a positive integer t such that xt ∈ f (M)). It is known that if f : R→ S is a strong local homomorphism where R is a pseudovaluation do...

Let A and B be Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities let Φ:A→B a surjective continuous linear map which preserves two-sided zero products (i.e., Φ(a)Φ(b)=Φ(b)Φ(a)=0 whenever ab=ba=0). We show that Φ is weighted Jordan homomorphism provided product determined weakly amenable. These conditions are in particular fulfilled when the group algebra L1(G) G any locally compact group. also...

A geometric graph G is a simple graph G together with a straight line drawing of G in the plane with the vertices in general position. Two geometric realizations of a simple graph are geo-isomorphic if there is a vertex bijection between them that preserves vertex adjacencies and non-adjacencies, as well as edge crossings and non-crossings. A natural extension of graph homomorphisms, geo-homomo...

KURATOWSKI showed that the derived set operator Z), acting on the space 2^ of closed subsets of a metric space X, is a Borel map of class exactly two and posed the problem of determining the precise classes of the higher order derivatives 0. We show that the exact classes of the higher derivatives D" are unbounded in ©i. In particular, we show that D* is not of class a and that, for limit ordin...

On a closed symplectic surface Σ of genus two or more, we give a new construction of an extended flux map (a crossed homomorphism from the symplectomorphism group Symp(Σ) to the cohomology group H(Σ;R) that extends the flux homomorphism). This construction uses the topology of the Jacobian of the surface and a correction factor related to the Johnson homomorphism. For surfaces of genus three or...

For a real reductive dual pair the Capelli identities define a homomorphism C from the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the larger group to the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the smaller group. In terms of the Harish-Chandra isomorphism, this map involves a ρ-shift. We view a dual pair as a Lie supergroup and offer a construction of the homomorphism C based solely on...
