Necessary And Sufficient

In terms of class field theory we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an integer to be representable by the quadratic form $x^{2}+xy+ny^{2}$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$ arbitrary) under extra conditions $x\equiv 1\;\text{mod}\;m$, $y\equiv 0\;\text{mod}\;m$ on the variables. We also give some examples where their extended ring class numbers are less than or equal to $3$.

Real Quadratic

A matrix A is said to be tripotent whenever A3 = A. The study of tripotent matrices is of statistical interest since if the n × 1 real random vector X follows an N(0, I) distribution and A is a symmetric matrix then the real quadratic form X′AX is distributed as the difference of two independently distributed X2 variates if and only if A3 = A. In fact, a necessary and sufficient condition that A is tripotent is that there exist two idempotent matrices B and C such that A = B – C, and BC = 0. Using properties of diagonalizable matrices, we will prove several algebraic characterizations of r-potent matrices that extend the known results for tripotent matrices. Our first result will be to obtain an analogous decomposition for an arbitrary r-potent matrix.

Necessary And Sufficient

A matrix is said to be positive definite if it is hermitian and if all of its characteristic values are positive. It is well known, and easy to prove, that the necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix P to be positive definite is that its hermitian quadratic formwith any vector v ≠ 0 be positive. (This will imply, in the present article, that it is real.) It is easy to see from (1) that if P1 and P2 are positive definite, the same holds of a1P1 + a2P2 if a1 and a2 are positive numbers.

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.

Necessary And Sufficient

The Kantian account of political authority holds that the state is a necessary and sufficient condition of our freedom. We cannot be free outside the state, Kantians argue, because any attempt to have the “acquired rights” necessary for our freedom implicates us in objectionable relations of dependence on private judgment. Only in the state can this problem be overcome. But it is not clear how mere institutions could make the necessary difference, and contemporary Kantians have not offered compelling explanations. A detailed analysis is presented of the problems Kantians identify with the state of nature and the objections they face in claiming that the state overcomes them. A response is sketched on behalf of Kantians. The key idea is that under state institutions, a person can make claims of acquired right without presupposing that she is by nature exceptional in her capacity to bind others.

Lorentz Boosts

In this paper, Lorentz boosts and Wigner rotations are considered from a (complexified) quaternionic point of view. It is demonstrated that, for a suitably defined self-adjoint complex quaternionic 4-velocity, pure Lorentz boosts can be phrased in terms of the quaternion square root of the relative 4-velocity connecting the two inertial frames. Straightforward computations then lead to quite explicit and relatively simple algebraic formulae for the composition of 4-velocities and the Wigner angle. The Wigner rotation is subsequently related to the generic non-associativity of the composition of three 4-velocities, and a necessary and sufficient condition is developed for the associativity to hold. Finally, the authors relate the composition of 4-velocities to a specific implementation of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff theorem. As compared to ordinary 4×4 Lorentz transformations, the use of self-adjoint complexified quaternions leads, from a computational view, to storage savings and more rapid computations, and from a pedagogical view to to relatively simple and explicit formulae.
