Additive Functionals

The kernel of a non-trivial linear functional φ on a linear space E is a maximal proper linear subspace of E which determines φ up to a non-zero multiple. Does a similar result hold for homomorphisms of a group G into the additive group R of the real numbers?

Ordered Pairs

The model of the real numbers described below was suggested by the fact that each irrational number ρ determines a linear ordering of J2, the additive group of ordered pairs of integers. To obtain the ordering, we define (m, n) ≤ (m', n') to mean that (m'- m)ρ ≤ n' - n. This order is invariant with group translations, and hence is called a "group linear ordering". It is completely determined by the set of its "positive" elements, in this case, by the set of integer pairs (m, n) such that (0, 0) ≤ (m, n), or, equivalently, mρ < n. The law of trichotomy for linear orderings dictates that only the zero of an ordered group can be both positive and negative.

AbstractWe establish constructive refinements of several well-known theorems in elementary model theory. The additive group of the real numbers may be embedded elementarily into the additive group of pairs of real numbers, constructively as well as classically.

Let M be the normed linear space whose general element, x, is a bounded sequenceof real numbers, and ‖x‖ = l.u.b. |ξn|. Let T denote the linear operation (of norm 1) defined by Tx = (ξ2, ξ3, … , ξn+1,…). A generalized limit is a linear functional ϕ on M which satisfies the conditions.

Complex Coefficients

Given a quasi-definite linear functional u in the linear space of polynomials with complex coefficients, let us consider the corresponding sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials (SMOP in short) (Pn)n≥0. For a canonical Christoffel transformation u˜=(x−c)u with SMOP (P˜n)n≥0, we are interested to study the relation between u˜ and u(1)˜, where u(1) is the linear functional for the associated orthogonal polynomials of the first kind (Pn(1))n≥0, and u(1)˜=(x−c)u(1) is its Christoffel transformation. This problem is also studied for canonical Geronimus transformations.

Linearly Ordered Set

AbstractA linearly ordered set A is said to shuffle into another linearly ordered set B if there is an order preserving surjection A —> B such that the preimage of each member of a cofinite subset of B has an arbitrary pre-defined finite cardinality. We show that every countable linearly ordered set shuffles into itself. This leads to consequences on transformations of subsets of the real numbers by order preserving maps.

AbstractWe use a new construction of an o-minimal structure, due to Lipshitz and Robinson, to answer a question of van den Dries regarding the relationship between arbitrary o-minimal expansions of real closed fields and structures over the real numbers. We write a first order sentence which is true in the Lipshitz-Robinson structure but fails in any possible interpretation over the field of real numbers.

Moebius Strip

We show that the continuity properties of a stable plane are automatically satisfied if we have a linear space with point set a Moebius strip, provided that the lines are closed subsets homeomorphic to the real line or to the circle. In other words, existence of a unique line joining two distinct points implies continuity of join and intersection. For linear spaces with an open disk as point set, the same result was proved by Skornyakov.

AbstractContinuing earlier studies over the real numbers, we study the expressible set of a sequence A = (an)n≥1 of p-adic numbers, which we define to be the set EpA = {∑n≥1ancn: cn ∈ ℕ}. We show that in certain circumstances we can calculate the Haar measure of EpA exactly. It turns out that our results extend to sequences of matrices with p-adic entries, so this is the setting in which we work.
