Balancing sets of vectors

Let n be an arbitrary integer, let p be a prime factor of n . Denote by ω1 the pth primitive unity root, \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\omega _1 : = e^{\tfrac{{2\pi i}} {p}}$$ \end{document}.Define ωi ≔ ω1i for 0 ≦ i ≦ p − 1 and B ≔ {1, ω1 , …, ωp −1 } n ⊆ ℂ n .Denote by K ( n; p ) the minimum k for which there exist vectors ν1 , …, νk ∈ B such that for any vector w ∈ B , there is an i , 1 ≦ i ≦ k , such that νi · w = 0, where ν · w is the usual scalar product of ν and w .Gröbner basis methods and linear algebra proof gives the lower bound K ( n; p ) ≧ n ( p − 1).Galvin posed the following problem: Let m = m ( n ) denote the minimal integer such that there exists subsets A1 , …, Am of {1, …, 4 n } with | Ai | = 2 n for each 1 ≦ i ≦ n , such that for any subset B ⊆ [4 n ] with 2 n elements there is at least one i , 1 ≦ i ≦ m , with Ai ∩ B having n elements. We obtain here the result m ( p ) ≧ p in the case of p > 3 primes.

NON-HERMITIAN OSCILLATOR-LIKE HAMILTONIANS AND λ-COHERENT STATES REVISITED

Previous λ-deformed non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with respect to the usual scalar product of Hilbert spaces dealing with harmonic oscillator-like developments are (re)considered with respect to a new scalar product in order to take into account their property of self-adjointness. The corresponding deformed λ-states lead to new families of coherent states according to the DOCS, AOCS and MUCS points of view.
