By examining whether the individualistic assumptions used in social choice could be used in the aggregation of individual preferences, Arrow proved a key lemma that generalizes the famous Szpilrajn’s extension theorem and used it to demonstrate the impossibility theorem. In this paper, I provide a characterization of Arrow’s result for the case in which the binary relations I extend are not necessarily transitive and are defined on abelian groups. I also give a characterization of the existence of a realizer of a binary relation defined on an abelian group. These results also generalize the well-known extension theorems of Szpilrajn, Dushnik-Miller, and Fuchs.

AbstractLet G be an abelian group. The aim of this short paper is to describe a way to identify pure subgroups H of G by looking only at how the subgroup lattice $$\mathcal {L}(H)$$ L ( H ) embeds in $$\mathcal {L}(G)$$ L ( G ) . It is worth noticing that all results are carried out in a local nilpotent context for a general definition of purity.

In 2004, a counterexample was given for a 1965 result of R. J. Elliott claiming that discrete spectral synthesis holds on every Abelian group. Since then the investigation of discrete spectral analysis and synthesis has gained traction. Characterizations of the Abelian groups that possess spectral analysis and spectral synthesis, respectively, were published in 2005. A characterization of the varieties on discrete Abelian groups enjoying spectral synthesis is still missing. We present a ring theoretical approach to the issue. In particular, we provide a generalization of the Principal Ideal Theorem on discrete Abelian groups.

Let G be an Abelian group. A binary relation ≥ denned in G is called an order of G if for each x, y, z ε G,(i) x ≥ y or y ≥ x (and hence x ≥ x);(ii) x ≥ y and y ≥ x ⇒ x = y,(if x ≥ y and x ≠ y, we write x > y);(iii) x ≥ y and y ≥ z ⇒ x = z;(iv) z ≥ y ⇒ x + z ≥ y + z.

We give a characterization of finite pointed tensor categories obtained as de-equivariantizations of the category of corepresentations of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with abelian group of group-like elements only in terms of the (cohomology class of the) associator of the pointed part. As an application we prove that every coradically graded pointed finite braided tensor category is a de-equivariantization of the category of corepresentations of a finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with abelian group of group-like elements.

Abstract.We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian group 𝒢 of affine maps on ℂn. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on Cn has a dense orbit.

AbstractWe define perpendicularity in an Abelian group G as a binary relation satisfying certain five axioms. Such a relation is maximal if it is not a subrelation of any other perpendicularity in G. A motivation for the study is that the poset (𝒫, ⊆) of all perpendicularities in G is a lattice if G has a unique maximal perpendicularity, and only a meet-semilattice if not. We study the cardinality of the set of maximal perpendicularities and, on the other hand, conditions on the existence of a unique maximal perpendicularity in the following cases: G ≅ ℤn, G is finite, G is finitely generated, and G = ℤ ⊕ ℤ ⊕ ⋯. A few such conditions are found and a few conjectured. In studying ℝn, we encounter perpendicularity in a vector space.

A $3$-coloring of the elements of an abelian group is said to be rainbow-free if there is no $3$-term arithmetic progression with its members having pairwise distinct colors. We give a structural characterization of rainbow-free colorings of abelian groups. This characterization proves a conjecture of Jungić et al. on the size of the smallest chromatic class of a rainbow-free $3$-coloring of cyclic groups.

Summary Rough sets, developed by Zdzisław Pawlak [12], are an important tool to describe the state of incomplete or partially unknown information. In this article, which is essentially the continuation of [8], we try to give the characterization of approximation operators in terms of ordinary properties of underlying relations (some of them, as serial and mediate relations, were not available in the Mizar Mathematical Library [11]). Here we drop the classical equivalence- and tolerance-based models of rough sets trying to formalize some parts of [18]. The main aim of this Mizar article is to provide a formal counterpart for the rest of the paper of William Zhu [18]. In order to do this, we recall also Theorem 3 from Y.Y. Yao’s paper [17]. The first part of our formalization (covering first seven pages) is contained in [8]. Now we start from page 5003, sec. 3.4. [18]. We formalized almost all numbered items (definitions, propositions, theorems, and corollaries), with the exception of Proposition 7, where we stated our theorem only in terms of singletons. We provided more thorough discussion of the property positive alliance and its connection with seriality and reflexivity (and also transitivity). Examples were not covered as a rule as we tried to construct a more general mechanism of finding appropriate models for approximation spaces in Mizar providing more automatization than it is now [10]. Of course, we can see some more general applications of some registrations of clusters, essentially not dealing with the notion of an approximation: the notions of an alliance binary relation were not defined in the Mizar Mathematical Library before, and we should think about other properties which are also absent but needed in the context of rough approximations [9], [5]. Via theory merging, using mechanisms described in [6] and [7], such elementary constructions can be extended to other frameworks.

Let G be a monoid; that is to say, G is a set such that with each pair σ, τ of elements of G there is associated a further element of G called the ‘product’ of σ and τ and written as στ. In addition it is required that multiplication be associative and that G shall have a unit element. The so-called ‘Homology Theory’† associates with each left G-module A and each integer n (n ≥ 0) an additive Abelian group Hn (G, A), called the nth homology group of G with coefficients in A. It is natural to ask what can be said about G if all the homology groups of G after the pth vanish identically in A. In this paper we give a complete answer to this question in the case when G is an Abelian group. Before describing the main result, however, it will be convenient to define what we shall call the homology type of G. We write Hn(G, A) ≡ 0 if Hn(G, A) = 0 for all left G-modules A.

We discuss the aggregation problem for transitive fuzzy binary relations. An aggregation procedure assigns a group fuzzy binary relation to each finite set of individual binary relations. Individual and group binary relations are assumed to be transitive fuzzy binary relation with respect to a given continuous t-norm. We study a particular class of aggregation procedures given by quasi-arithmetic (Kolmogorov) means and show that these procedures are well defined if and only if the t-norm is Archimedean. We also give a geometric characterization of t-norms for which the arithmetic mean is a well-defined aggregation procedure.
