AbstractIn this note, we construct a distal expansion for the structure $$\left( {; + , < ,H} \right)$$, where $H \subseteq $ is a dense $Q$-vector space basis of $R$ (a so-called Hamel basis). Our construction is also an expansion of the dense pair $\left( {; + , < ,} \right)$ and has full quantifier elimination in a natural language.

A coalgebra over the field F is a vector space A over F, with maps δ: A → A ⊗ A and ∊: A → F such that1and2The notion of coalgebra is dual to the notion of algebra with unit, with δ as coproduct (equation (1) says that δ is associative) and ∊ as the unit map (equation (2) is just the statement that ∊ is a unit for the coproduct δ). If A is also an algebra with unit and δ and ∊ are algebra homomorphisms, A is a Hopf algebra.

Let U be a k-dimensional vector space over the complex numbers. Let ⊗m U denote the mth tensor power of U where m ≧ 2. For each permutation σ in the symmetric group Sm, there exists a linear mapping P(σ) on ⊗mU such thatfor all x1, …, xm in U.Let G be a subgroup of Sm and λ an irreducible (complex) character on G. The symmetrizeris a projection of ⊗ mU. Its range is denoted by Uλm(G) or simply Uλ(G) and is called the symmetry class of tensors corresponding to G and λ.

Let$V$be a vector space and let$T(V)$denote the semigroup (under composition) of all linear transformations from$V$into$V$. For a fixed subspace$W$of$V$, let$T(V,W)$be the semigroup consisting of all linear transformations from$V$into$W$. In 2008, Sullivan [‘Semigroups of linear transformations with restricted range’,Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.77(3) (2008), 441–453] proved that$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle Q=\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in T(V,W):V\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\subseteq W\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\} & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$is the largest regular subsemigroup of$T(V,W)$and characterized Green’s relations on$T(V,W)$. In this paper, we determine all the maximal regular subsemigroups of$Q$when$W$is a finite-dimensional subspace of$V$over a finite field. Moreover, we compute the rank and idempotent rank of$Q$when$W$is an$n$-dimensional subspace of an$m$-dimensional vector space$V$over a finite field$F$.

AbstractThis paper investigates formal logics for reasoning about determinacy and independence. Propositional Dependence Logic${\cal D}$and Propositional Independence Logic${\cal I}$are recently developed logical systems, based on team semantics, that provide a framework for such reasoning tasks. We introduce two new logics${{\cal L}_D}$and${{\cal L}_{\,I\,}}$, based on Kripke semantics, and propose them as alternatives for${\cal D}$and${\cal I}$, respectively. We analyse the relative expressive powers of these four logics and discuss the way these systems relate to natural language. We argue that${{\cal L}_D}$and${{\cal L}_{\,I\,}}$naturally resolve a range of interpretational problems that arise in${\cal D}$and${\cal I}$. We also obtain sound and complete axiomatizations for${{\cal L}_D}$and${{\cal L}_{\,I\,}}$.

In 1949 Ky Fan [1] proved the following result: Let λ1…λn be the eigenvalues of an Hermitian operator H on an n-dimensional vector space Vn. If x1, …, xq is an orthonormal set in V1, and q is a positive integer such n that 1 ≤ q ≤ n, then1

Let S be a compact Hausdorff space and let Φ: C(S)→E be a linear operator defined on the space of real-valued continuous functions on S and taking values in a (real) topological vector space E. Then Φ is called exhaustive (7) if given any sequence of functions fn ∈ C(S) such that fn ≧ 0 andthen Φ(fn)→0 If E is complete then it was shown in (7) that exhaustive maps are precisely those which possess regular integral extensions to the space of bounded Borel functions on S; this is equivalent to possessing a representationwhere μ is a regular countably additive E-valued measure defined on the σ-algebra of Borel subsets of S.

AbstractCategorical compositional distributional semantics is a model of natural language; it combines the statistical vector space models of words with the compositional models of grammar. We formalise in this model the generalised quantifier theory of natural language, due to Barwise and Cooper. The underlying setting is a compact closed category with bialgebras. We start from a generative grammar formalisation and develop an abstract categorical compositional semantics for it, and then instantiate the abstract setting to sets and relations and to finite-dimensional vector spaces and linear maps. We prove the equivalence of the relational instantiation to the truth theoretic semantics of generalised quantifiers. The vector space instantiation formalises the statistical usages of words and enables us to, for the first time, reason about quantified phrases and sentences compositionally in distributional semantics.

Let G be a subgroup of the general linear group GL(n, Q) over the rational field Q, and consider its action by right multiplication on the vector space Qn of n-tuples over Q. The present paper investigates the question of how we may constructively determine the orbits and stabilizers of this action for suitable classes of groups. We suppose that G is specified by a finite set {x1, …, xr) of generators, and investigate whether there exist algorithms to solve the two problems:(Orbit Problem) Given u, v ∊ Qn, does there exist x ∊ G such that ux = v; if so, find such an element x as a word in x1, …, xr and their inverses.(Stabilizer Problem) Given u, v ∊ Qn, describe all words in x1, …, xr and their inverses which lie in the stabilizer

In 1913, É. Cartan discovered that the special orthogonal groupSO(k) has a ‘two-valued’ representation (i.e. a projective representation) on a complex vector spaceSof dimension 2n, wherek= 2nor 2n+ 1. The projective representation in question lifts to a true representation of the double cover Spin (k) ofSO(k). We restrict attention to the casek= 2n. Under the action of Spin (2n),Sbreaks up into 2 irreducible subspaces:The vectors inSare calledspinors(relative toSO(2n)), those inS+orS−are calledhalf-spinors(4).

Let V ≠ 0 be a vector space of dimension n over a finite field of order qm for a prime q. Of course, GL(n, qm) denotes the group of -linear transformations of V. With few exceptions, GL(n, qm) is non-solvable. How large can a solvable subgroup of GL(n, qm) be? The order of a Sylow-q-subgroup Q of GL(n, qm) is easily computed. But Q cannot act irreducibly nor completely reducibly on V.Suppose that G is a solvable, completely reducible subgroup of GL(n, qm). Huppert ([9], Satz 13, Satz 14) bounds the order of a Sylow-q-subgroup of G, and Dixon ([5], Corollary 1) improves Huppert's bound. Here, we show that |G| ≦ q3nm = |V|3. In fact, we show thatwhere
