Higher-order Alexander Invariants of Hypersurface Complements

We define the higher-order Alexander modules $A_{n,i}(\mathcal{U})$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_{n,i}(\mathcal{U})$ which are invariants of a complex hypersurface complement $\mathcal{U}$. These invariants come from the module structure of the homology of certain solvable covers of the hypersurface complement. Such invariants were originally developed by T. Cochran in [1] and S. Harvey in [8], and were used to study knots and 3-manifolds. In this paper, I generalize the result proved by C. Leidy and L. Maxim [22] from the plane curve complements to higher-dimensional hypersurface complements. Zariski observed that the position of singularities on a singular complex plane curve affects the topology of the curve. My results on higher-order degrees of hypersurface complements also show that global topology is controlled by the local topologies. In particular, the higher-order degrees of the hypersurface complement are bounded by a linear combination of the higher-order degrees of the local link pairs

Modular Lattice for CoC_{o}-Operators

We study modularity of the lattice Lat $(T)$ of closed invariant subspaces for a $C_0$-operator $T$ and find a condition such that Lat $(T)$ is a modular. Furthermore, we provide a quasiaffinity preserving modularity.Comment: 12 page

Banach Spaces with respect to Operator-Valued Norms

We introduce the notions of L(H)-valued norms and Banach spaces with respect to L(H)-valued norms. In particular, we introduce Hilbert spaces with respect to L(H)-valued inner products. In addition, we provide several fundamental examples of Hilbert spaces with respect to L(H)-valued inner products.Comment: 13 pag

Algebraic Elements and Invariant Subspaces

We prove that if a completely non-unitary contraction T in L(H) has a non-trivial algebraic element h, then T has a non-trivial invariant subspace.Comment: 6 page

A Shift Operator on L(H^2)

We give definitions and some properties of the shift operator S_{L(H^2)} and multiplication operator on L(H^2). In addition, we obtain some properties of the commutant of the shift operator S_{L(H^2)} and characterize S_{L(H^2)}-invariant subspaces.Comment: 9 page

A Generalization of Beurling's Theorem and Quasi-Inner Functions

We introduce two kinds of quasi-inner functions. Since every rationally invariant subspace for a shift operator $S_K$ on a vector-valued Hardy space $H^{2}(\Omega,K)$ is generated by a quasi-inner function, we also provide relationships of quasi-inner functions by comparing rationally invariant subspaces generated by them. Furthermore, we discuss fundamental properties of quasi-inner functions, and quasi-inner divisors

C_{0}-Hilbert Modules

We provide the definition and fundamental properties of algebraic elements with respect to an operator satisfying hypothesis (h). Furthermore, we analyze Hilbert modules using C_0-operators relative to a bounded finitely connected region Omega in the complex plane.Comment: 14 page

N^p Spaces

We introduce a new norm, called $N^{p}$-norm $(1\leq{p}<\infty)$ on a space $N^{p}(V,W)$ where $V$ and $W$ are abstract operator spaces. By proving some fundamental properties of the space $N^{p}(V,W)$, we also obtain that if $W$ is complete, then the space $N^{p}(V,W)$ is also a Banach space with respect to this norm for $1\leq{p}<\infty$.Comment: 9 page

Linear Algebraic Properties for Jordan Models of C0C_{0}-operators relative to multiply connected domains

We study $C_{0}$-operators relative to a multiply connected domain using a substitute of the characteristic function. This method allows us to prove certain relations between the Jordan model of an operator and that of its restriction to an invariant subspace.Comment: 12pages, To appear in JO

Dibaryon systems in the quark mass density- and temperature-dependent model

Using the quark mass density- and temperature-dependent model, we have studied the properties of the dibaryon systems. The binding energy, radius and mean lifetime of Omega-Omega and Omega-Xi are given. We find the dibaryons Omega-Omega, Omega-Xi are metastable at zero temperature, but the strong decay channel for Omega-Omega opens when temperature arrives at 129.3MeV. It is shown that our results are in good agreement with those given by the chiral S(3) quark model.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
