On endomorphisms of surface mapping class groups
Korkmaz, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 2001-05-01)
In this paper, we prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.
Hilbert functions of gorenstein monomial curves
Topaloğlu Mete, Pınar; Arslan, Sefa Feza; Department of Mathematics (2005)
The aim of this thesis is to study the Hilbert function of a one-dimensional Gorenstein local ring of embedding dimension four in the case of monomial curves. We show that the Hilbert function is non-decreasing for some families of Gorenstein monomial curves in affine 4-space. In order to prove this result, under some arithmetic assumptions on generators of the defining ideal, we determine the minimal generators of their tangent cones by using the standard basis and check the Cohen-Macaulayness of them. Lat...
On homotopy groups of real algebraic varieties and their complexifications
Ozan, Yıldıray (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-10-01)
Let X-0 be a topological component of a nonsingular real algebraic variety and i : X --> X-C is a nonsingular projective complexification of X. In this paper, we will study the homomorphism on homotopy groups induced by the inclusion map i: X-0 --> X-C and obtain several results using rational homotopy theory and other standard tools of homotopy theory.
Algebraic curves hermitian lattices and hypergeometric functions
Zeytin, Ayberk; Önsiper, Mustafa Hurşit; Department of Mathematics (2011)
The aim of this work is to study the interaction between two classical objects of mathematics: the modular group, and the absolute Galois group. The latter acts on the category of finite index subgroups of the modular group. However, it is a task out of reach do understand this action in this generality. We propose a lattice which parametrizes a certain system of ”geometric” elements in this category. This system is setwise invariant under the Galois action, and there is a hope that one can explicitly under...
On Fibre Products of Kummer Curves with Many Rational Points over Finite Fields
Özbudak, Ferruh; YAYLA, OĞUZ (2014-09-18)
We determined the number of rational points of fibre products of two Kummer covers over a rational point of the projective line in a recent work of F. Ozbudak and B. G. Temur (Des Codes Cryptogr 70(3): 385-404, 2014), where we also constructed explicit examples, including a record and two new entries for the current Table of Curves with Many Points (manYPoints: Table of curves with many points. http://www.manypoints.org (2014). Accessed 30 Sep 2014). Using the methods given in Ozbudak and Gulmez Temur (Des ...
