Extension of weakly and strongly F-regular rings by flat maps
Let (R,m) -> (S,n) be a flat local homomorphism of excellent local rings. We
investigate the conditions under which the weak or strong F-regularity of R
passes to S. We show that is suffices that the closed fiber S/mS be Gorenstein
and either F-finite (if R and S have a common test element), or F-rational
(otherwise)
The vanishing of Tor_1^R(R^+,k) implies that R is regular
Let (R,m,k) be an excellent local ring of positive prime characteristic. We
show that if Tor_1^R(R^+,k) = 0 then R is regular. This improves a result of
Schoutens, in which the additional hypothesis that R was an isolated
singularity was required for the proof.Comment: 3 pages, to appear in Proceedings of the AM
Representational momentum and the human face : an empirical note
Recent evidence suggests that observers may anticipate the future emotional state of an actor when viewing dynamic expressions of emotion, consistent with the notion of representational momentum. The current paper presents data that conflicts with these previous studies, finding instead that memory for the final frame of an emotional video tends to be shifted back in the direction of the first frame. While simple methodological issues may explain this difference (e.g., the use of morph sequences in previous studies versus naturalistic expressions here) a more theoretically interesting possibility is also considered. Specifically, recent studies of ensemble representations have shown that observes can rapidly extract the average expression from a display of up to 20 faces. It is suggested that the need to predict versus the need to maintain a stable estimate of the current state often compete when we interact with dynamic stimuli. Our memory for the final expression on an emotional face may be particularly sensitive to task demands and response timing, thus coming to reflect different solutions to this anticipation-averaging conflict depending on the precise experimental scenario.peer-reviewe
The lattice of submodules of a multiplicity free module
In this paper we determine, under some mild restrictions, the lattice of
submodules \gL of a module all of whose composition factors have
multiplicity one. Such a lattice is distributive, and hence determined by its
poset of down-sets . We define a directed Ext graph \Ext_\gL of \gL and
show that if \Ext_\gL is acyclic, then \Ext_\gL determines . The result
applies to multiplicity free indecomposable modules for finite dimensional
algebras with acyclic Ext graph. It also applies to some deformed Verma modules
which arise in the Jantzen sum formula basic classical simple Lie superalgebras
