Minimal Systems of Binomial Generators for the Ideals of Certain Monomial Curves

Let a,b and n>1 be three positive integers such that a and ∑j=0n−1bj are relatively prime. In this paper, we prove that the toric ideal I associated to the submonoid of N generated by {∑j=0n−1bj}∪{∑j=0n−1bj+a∑j=0i−2bj∣i=2,…,n} is determinantal. Moreover, we prove that for n>3, the ideal I has a unique minimal system of generators if and only if a<b−1.

ORIENTATION OF PIECEWISE POWERS OF A MINIMAL HOMEOMORPHISM

We show that, given a compact minimal system $(X,g)$ and an element h of the topological full group $\tau [g]$ of g, the infinite orbits of h admit a locally constant orientation with respect to the orbits of g. We use this to obtain a clopen partition of $(X,G)$ into minimal and periodic parts, where G is any virtually polycyclic subgroup of $\tau [g]$ . We also use the orientation of orbits to give a refinement of the index map and to describe the role in $\tau [g]$ of the submonoid generated by the induced transformations of g. Finally, we consider the problem, given a homeomorphism h of the Cantor space X, of determining whether or not there exists a minimal homeomorphism g of X such that $h \in \tau [g]$ .

Minimal Systems of Binomial Generators for the Ideals of Certain Monomial Curves

Let $a, b$ and $n &gt; 1$ be three positive integers such that $a$ and $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} b^j$ are relatively prime. In this paper, we prove that the toric ideal $I$ associated to the submonoid of $\mathbb{N}$ generated by $\{\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} b^j\} \cup \{\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} b^j + a\, \sum_{j=0}^{i-2} b^j \mid i = 2, \ldots, n\}$ is determinantal. Moreover, we prove that for $n &gt; 3$, the ideal $I$ has a unique minimal system of generators if and only if $a &lt; b-1$.

Sustained enzymatic activity and flow in crowded protein droplets

Living cells harvest energy from their environments to drive the chemical processes that enable life. We introduce a minimal system that operates at similar protein concentrations, metabolic densities, and length scales as living cells. This approach takes advantage of the tendency of phase-separated protein droplets to strongly partition enzymes, while presenting minimal barriers to transport of small molecules across their interface. By dispersing these microreactors in a reservoir of substrate-loaded buffer, we achieve steady states at metabolic densities that match those of the hungriest microorganisms. We further demonstrate the formation of steady pH gradients, capable of driving microscopic flows. Our approach enables the investigation of the function of diverse enzymes in environments that mimic cytoplasm, and provides a flexible platform for studying the collective behavior of matter driven far from equilibrium.

On topological rank of factors of Cantor minimal systems

A Cantor minimal system is of finite topological rank if it has a Bratteli–Vershik representation whose number of vertices per level is uniformly bounded. We prove that if the topological rank of a minimal dynamical system on a Cantor set is finite, then all its minimal Cantor factors have finite topological rank as well. This gives an affirmative answer to a question posed by Donoso, Durand, Maass, and Petite in full generality. As a consequence, we obtain the dichotomy of Downarowicz and Maass for Cantor factors of finite-rank Cantor minimal systems: they are either odometers or subshifts.

Connection status report generator

This paper presents “Connection Status Report Generator” which is an auto executable application and it generates a detailed textual and pictorial representation of the network connectivity status of a particular computer and sends the generated reports to the concerned party. The features developed in this paper aim to constantly monitor the network connectivity status as well as ease the troubleshooting process of finding the major cause of call-drops which is a popular problem in every industry. This paper is divided into three major sub-categories of real-time connection status tracker, report generator, and the image viewer interface. The proposed executable application is coded in Java and designed to run as a background application with minimal system prerequisites.

Multidimensional Multiplicative Combinatorial Properties of Dynamical Syndetic Sets

In this paper, it is shown that for a minimal system (X, G), if H is a normal subgroup of G with finite index n, then X can be decomposed into n components of closed sets such that each component is minimal under H-action. Meanwhile, we prove that for a residual set of points in a minimal system with finitely many commuting homeomorphisms, the set of return times to any non-empty open set contains arbitrarily long geometric progressions in multidimension, extending a previous result by Glasscock, Koutsogiannis and Richter.
