The objective of this paper is to investigate tame fundamental groups of schemes of finite type over Spec(Z). More precisely, let X be a connected scheme of finite type over Spec(Z) and let X̄ be a compactification of X, i.e. a scheme which is proper and of finite type over Spec(Z) and which contains X as a dense open subscheme. Then the tame fundamental group of X classifies finite étale coveri...

In the current study, we fit confirmatory bi-factor models to the items of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and Autism Spectrum Quotient Short Form (AQ-S) in order to assess the extents to which the items of each reflect general versus specific factors. The models were fit in a combined sample of individuals with and without a clinical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. Results indicated ...

An antipodal graph D of diameter d has the property that each vertex v has a unique (antipodal) vertex v at distance d from v in D. We show that any such D has circuits of length Id passing through antipodal pairs of vertices. The identification of antipodal vertex-pairs in D produces a quotient graph G with a double cover projection morphism p : D-+G. Using the two-fold quotient map of surface...

Let M be a compact (two-sided) minimal hypersurface in a Riemannian manifold M n+1 . It is a simple fact that if M has positive Ricci curvature then M cannot be stable (i. e. its Jacobi operator L has index at least one). If M = S(1) is the unit sphere and L has index one, then it is known that M must be a totally geodesic equator. We prove that if M is the real projective space RP = Sn+1(1)/{±...

abstract. in this paper we study some relations between the power andquotient power graph of a finite group. these interesting relations motivateus to find some graph theoretical properties of the quotient power graphand the proper quotient power graph of a finite group g. in addition, weclassify those groups whose quotient (proper quotient) power graphs areisomorphic to trees or paths.

An immediate generalization of the classical McKay correspondence for Gorenstein quotient spaces C/G in dimensions r ≥ 4 would primarily demand the existence of projective, crepant, full desingularizations. Since this is not always possible, it is natural to ask about special classes of such quotient spaces which would satisfy the above property. In this paper we give explicit necessary and suf...

We study linear actions of algebraic groups on smooth projective varieties X. A guiding goal for us is to understand the cohomology of “quotients” under such actions, by generalizing (from reductive to non-reductive group actions) existing methods involving Mumford’s geometric invariant theory (GIT). We concentrate on actions of unipotent groups H, and define sets of stable points X and semista...

In this paper, we consider quotient structure and quotient difunctions in the context of interior and closure operators on textures in the sense of Dikranjan-Giuli. The generalizations of several results concerning separation and quotient mapping are presented. It is shown that the category of interior-closure spaces and bicontinuous difunctions has a T0 reflection. Finally, we introduce some c...
