Special Case

1. Let k be an infinite field and let V/k be an irreducible variety of dimension ≧ 2 in a projective n-space Pn over k. Let P and Q be two k-rational points on V In this paper, we describe ideal-theoretically the generic hyperplane section of V through P and Q (Theorem 1) and prove that the section is almost always an absolutely irreducible variety over k1/pe if V/k is absolutely irreducible (Theorem 3). As an application (Theorem 4), we give a new simple proof of an important special case of the existence of a curve connecting two rational points of an absolutely irreducible variety [4], namely any two k-rational points on V/k can be connected by an irreducible curve.I wish to thank Professor A. Seidenberg for his continued advice and encouragement on my thesis research.

The Relationship

Abstract We develop the relationship between quaternionic hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic counting or equidistribution applications, that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on quaternionic hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension 2. We prove a Mertens counting formula for the rational points over a definite quaternion algebra A over ${\mathbb{Q}}$ in the light cone of quaternionic Hermitian forms, as well as a Neville equidistribution theorem of the set of rational points over A in quaternionic Heisenberg groups.

Special Case

Given a non-empty finite subset A of the natural numbers, let EA denote the set of irrationals x∈[0,1] whose continued fraction digits lie in A. In general, EA is a Cantor set whose Hausdorff dimension dim (EA) is between 0 and 1. It is shown that the set [Formula: see text] intersects [0,1/2] densely. We then describe a method for accurately computing dimensions dim (EA), and employ it to investigate numerically the way in which [Formula: see text] intersects [1/2,1]. These computations tend to support the conjecture, first formulated independently by Hensley, and by Mauldin & Urbański, that [Formula: see text] is dense in [0,1]. In the important special case A={1,2}, we use our computational method to give an accurate approximation of dim (E{1,2}), improving on the one given in [18].

Special Case

This introductory chapter provides an overview of Drinfeld's work on the global Langlands correspondence over function fields. Whereas the global Langlands correspondence is largely open in the case of number fields K, it is a theorem for function fields, due to Drinfeld and L. Lafforgue. The key innovation in this case is Drinfeld's notion of an X-shtuka (or simply shtuka). The Langlands correspondence for X is obtained by studying moduli spaces of shtukas. A large part of this course is about the definition of perfectoid spaces and diamonds. There is an important special case where the moduli spaces of shtukas are classical rigid-analytic spaces. This is the case of local Shimura varieties. Some examples of these are the Rapoport-Zink spaces.

Special Case

Deception is a fundamental issue across a diverse array of settings, from cybersecurity, where decoys (e.g., honeypots) are an important tool, to politics that can feature politically motivated “leaks” and fake news about candidates. Typical considerations of deception view it as providing false information. However, just as important but less frequently studied is a more tacit form where information is strategically hidden or leaked. We consider the problem of how much an adversary can affect a principal's decision by “half-truths”, that is, by masking or hiding bits of information, when the principal is oblivious to the presence of the adversary. The principal's problem can be modeled as one of predicting future states of variables in a dynamic Bayes network, and we show that, while theoretically the principal's decisions can be made arbitrarily bad, the optimal attack is NP-hard to approximate, even under strong assumptions favoring the attacker. However, we also describe an important special case where the dependency of future states on past states is additive, in which we can efficiently compute an approximately optimal attack. Moreover, in networks with a linear transition function we can solve the problem optimally in polynomial time.

We give a new simple proof for the weights of Ocneanu's trace on Iwahori–Hecke algebras of type A. This trace is used in the construction of the HOMFLYPT-polynomial of knots and links (which includes the famous Jones polynomial as a special case). Our main tool is Starkey's rule concerning the character tables of Iwahori–Hecke algebras of type A.

Special Case

Let us think about ways to find both eigenvalues and eigenvectors of tridiagonal matrices. An important special case is the computation of singular values and singular vectors of bidiagonal matrices. The discussion is addressed both to specialists in matrix computation and to other scientists whose main interests lie elsewhere. The reason for hoping to communicate with two such diverse sets of readers at the same time is that the content of the survey, though of recent origin, is quite elementary and does not demand familiarity with much beyond triangular factorization and the Gram-Schmidt process for orthogonalizing a set of vectors. For some readers the survey will cover familiar territory but from a novel perspective. The justification for presenting these ideas is that they lead to new variations of current methods that run a lot faster while achieving greater accuracy.

Abstract The Nazarov–Sodin constant describes the average number of nodal set components of smooth Gaussian fields on large scales. We generalise this to a functional describing the corresponding number of level set components for arbitrary levels. Using results from Morse theory, we express this functional as an integral over the level densities of different types of critical points, and as a result deduce the absolute continuity of the functional as the level varies. We further give upper and lower bounds showing that the functional is at least bimodal for certain isotropic fields, including the important special case of the random plane wave.

We obtain a representation of an arbitrary discrete distribution with n mass points by an equiprobable mixture of r distributions, each of which has no more than a (≧2) mass points, where r is the smallest integer greater than or equal to (n – 1)/(a – 1). An application to the generation of discrete random variables on a computer is described, which has as an important special case Walker's (1977) alias method.

Abstract We explicitly determine the binary representation of the inverse of all Kasami exponents $$K_r=2^{2r}-2^r+1$$ K r = 2 2 r - 2 r + 1 modulo $$2^n-1$$ 2 n - 1 for all possible values of n and r. This includes as an important special case the APN Kasami exponents with $$\gcd (r,n)=1$$ gcd ( r , n ) = 1 . As a corollary, we determine the algebraic degree of the inverses of the Kasami functions. In particular, we show that the inverse of an APN Kasami function on $${\mathbb {F}}_{2^n}$$ F 2 n always has algebraic degree $$\frac{n+1}{2}$$ n + 1 2 if $$n\equiv 0 \pmod 3$$ n ≡ 0 ( mod 3 ) . For $$n\not \equiv 0 \pmod 3$$ n ≢ 0 ( mod 3 ) we prove that the algebraic degree is bounded from below by $$\frac{n}{3}$$ n 3 . We consider Kasami exponents whose inverses are quadratic exponents or Kasami exponents. We also determine the binary representation of the inverse of the Bracken–Leander exponent $$BL_r=2^{2r}+2^r+1$$ B L r = 2 2 r + 2 r + 1 modulo $$2^n-1$$ 2 n - 1 where $$n=4r$$ n = 4 r and r odd. We show that the algebraic degree of the inverse of the Bracken–Leander function is $$\frac{n+2}{2}$$ n + 2 2 .
