Let R = ⊕ d∈N0 Rd be a positively graded commutative Noetherian ring which is standard in the sense that R = R0[R1], and set R+ := ⊕ d∈N Rd, the irrelevant ideal of R. (Here, N0 and N denote the set of non-negative and positive integers respectively; Z will denote the set of all integers.) Let M = ⊕ d∈Z Md be a non-zero finitely generated graded R-module. This paper is concerned with the behavi...

Let X be a hypergroup. In this paper, we study the homomorphisms on certain subspaces of L(X)* which are weak*-weak* continuous.

Let V be a representation of the modular group Γ of dimension p. We show that the Z-graded space H(V ) of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms associated to V is a free module of rank p over the algebra M of classical holomorphic modular forms. We study the nature of H considered as a functor from Γ-modules to graded M-lattices and give some applications, including the calculation of the Hil...

It is proved that if an algebra R over a field can be endowed with a pointed and finite-dimensional .nfiltration such that the associated .n-graded algebra T is semi-commutative, then R is left and right finitely partitive. In order to do this, a multi-variable Poincare! series for every finitely generated graded T-module is considered and it is shown that this Poincare! series is a rational fu...

We first present a filtration on the ring Ln of Laurent polynomials such that direct sum decomposition its associated graded grLn agrees with grLn, as module over complex general linear Lie algebra gl(n), into simple submodules. Next, generalizing modules occurring in we give some explicit constructions weight multiplicity-free irreducible representations gl(n).

Let v be a valuation of the quotient field of a noetherian local domain R. Assume that v is centered at R. This paper studies the structure of the value semigroup of v, S. Ideals defining toric varieties can be defined from the graded algebra K[T ] of cancellative commutative finitely generated semigroups such that T ∩ (−T ) = {0}. The value semigroup of a valuation S need not be finitely gener...

Let R be a standard graded K-algebra, that is, an algebra of the form R = K[x1, . . . , xn]/I where K[x1, . . . , xn] is a polynomial ring over the field K and I is a homogeneous ideal with respect to the grading deg(xi) = 1. Let M be a finitely generated graded R-module. Consider the (essentially unique) minimal graded Rfree resolution of M · · · → Ri → Ri−1 → · · · → R1 → R0 → M → 0 The rank ...

EÎ'(X, A) = Ê\T, H\X, A)) where H denotes the Tate cohomology ofir [l, Chapter 12 ] and H'(X, A) is the jth Cech cohomology group of (X, A) with arbitrary coefficients and with w action induced by that on X. The term Ew is the graded module associated with a certain filtered module J*(XyA). This sequence is natural with respect to ir-equivariant maps of (X, A). If w acts trivially on X, the seq...

We describe a natural structure of an abelian intertwining algebra (in the sense of Dong and Lepowsky) on the direct sum of the untwisted vertex operator algebra constructed from the Leech lattice and its (unique) irreducible twisted module. When restricting ourselves to the moonshine module, we obtain a new and conceptual proof that the moonshine module has a natural structure of a vertex oper...
