In this work we address the application of the method of fundamental solution (MFS) as a forward solver in some shape optimization problems in two- and three-dimensional domains. It is well known (Kac's problem) that a set of eigenvalues does not determine uniquely the shape of the domain. Moreover, even the existence problem is not well defined due to the Ashbaugh--Benguria inequality. Although these results constitute counterexamples in the general problem of shape determination from the eigenfrequencies, ...

In [1] R. Thomason claims that a retract of a Dwyer map is a Dwyer map to show the closed model category structure he defined on the category of small categories is proper. This paper gives a counterexample to this claim and shows how to give a proof of the propriety axiom.

Quasi-abelian categories are additive categories for which the class of all short exact sequences defines an exact structure. Such categories are ubiquitous and form a natural framework for relative homological algebra and K-theory. Higher Ext-groups also exist in categories with the formally weaker property to be semi-abelian. Raikov's conjecture states that both concepts are equivalent. We use a tilted algebra of type 𝔼6 to construct a counterexample.

Let K be an algebraically closed field endowed with a complete non-archimedean norm. Let f : Y → X be a map of K-affinoid varieties. In this paper we study the analytic structure of the image f(Y ) ⊂ X; such an image is a typical example of a subanalytic set. We show that the subanalytic sets are precisely the D-semianalytic sets, where D is the truncated division function first introduced by Denef and van den Dries. To prove this we establish a Flattening Theorem for affinoid varieties in the style of ...

We present a counterexample to the conjecture on the homotopy invariance of configuration spaces. More precisely, we consider the lens spaces L7,1 and L7,2, and prove that their configuration spaces are not homotopy equivalent by showing that their universal coverings have different Massey products.

In the Khovanov homology of links, presence of Z2-torsion is a very common phenomenon. Finite number of examples of knots with Zn-torsion for n > 2 were also known, none for n > 8. In this article, we present several infinite families of links whose Khovanov homology contains Zn-torsion for 2 < n < 9 and Z2s-torsion for s < 24. We introduce 4-braid links with Z3-torsion which are counterexamples to parts of the PS braid conjecture. We also provide an infinite family of knots with Z5-torsion in reduced Khovanov ...

In the late 1960s Jerome Levine classified the odd high-dimensional knot concordance groups in terms of a linking matrix associated to an arbitrary bounding manifold for the knot. His proof fails for classical knots in S 3 . Yet this philosophy has remained the only known strategy for understanding the classical knot concordance group. We show that this strategy is fundamentally flawed. Specifically, in 1982, in support of Levine's philosophy, Louis Kauffman conjectured that if a knot in S 3 is a ...

Virtual knots, defined by Kauffman, provide a natural generalization of classical knots. Most invariants of knots extend in a natural way to give invariants of virtual knots. In this paper we study the fundamental groups of virtual knots and observe several new and unexpected phenomena. In the classical setting, if the longitude of a knot is trivial in the knot group then the group is infinite cyclic. We show that for any classical knot group there is a virtual knot with that group and trivial longitude. ...

We give counterexamples to the following conjecture of Auslander: given a finitely generated module M over an Artin algebra Λ, there exists a positive integer nM such that for all finitely generated Λ-modules N, if ExtΛi(M,N)=0 for all i≫0, then ExtΛi(M,N)=0 for all i⩾nM. Some of our examples moreover yield homologically defined classes of commutative local rings strictly between the class of local complete intersections and the class of local Gorenstein rings.

We compute the homology groups of transformation groupoids associated with odometers and show that certain $(\mathbb{Z}\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_{2})$ -odometers give rise to counterexamples to the HK conjecture, which relates the homology of an essentially principal, minimal, ample groupoid $G$ with the K-theory of $C_{r}^{\ast }(G)$ . We also show that transformation groupoids of odometers satisfy the AH conjecture.

The first attempts to apply the k-induction method to software verification are only recent. In this paper, we present a novel proof by induction algorithm, which is built on the top of a symbolic context-bounded model checker and uses an iterative deepening approach to verify, for each step k up to a given maximum, whether a given safety property $$\phi $$ holds in the program. The proposed k-induction algorithm consists of three different cases, called base case, forward condition, and inductive step. ...

We illustrate the rich landscape of 4-manifold topology through the lens of counterexamples. We consider several of the most commonly studied equivalence relations on 4-manifolds and how they are related to one another. We explain implications e.g. that $h$-cobordant manifolds are stably homeomorphic, and we provide examples illustrating the failure of other potential implications. The information is conveniently organised in a flowchart and a table.

We study Tukey types of ultrafilters on ω, focusing on the question of when Tukey reducibility is equivalent to Rudin–Keisler reducibility. We give several conditions under which this equivalence holds. We show that there are only c many ultrafilters that are Tukey below any basically generated ultrafilter. The class of basically generated ultrafilters includes all known ultrafilters that are not Tukey above [ω1]<ω. We give a complete characterization of all ultrafilters that are Tukey below a selective. ...

Given an entire mapping $f\in \mathcal{H}_b(X,X)$ of bounded type from a Banach space $X$ into $X$, we denote by $\overline{f}$ the Aron-Berner extension of $f$ to the bidual $X^{\ast\ast}$ of $X$. We show that $\overline{g\circ f} = \overline{g}\circ \overline{f}$ for all $f, g\in \mathcal{H}_b(X,X)$ if $X$ is symmetrically regular. We also give a counterexample on $l_1$ such that the equality does not hold. We prove that the closure of the numerical range of $f$ is the same as that of $\bar{f}$.

Abstract Epimorphic images of compact (algebraically compact) abelian groups are called cotorsion groups after Harrison. In a recent paper, Ph. Schultz raised the question whether “cotorsion” is a property which can be recognized by its small cotorsion epimorphic images: If G is a torsion-free group such that every torsion-free reduced homomorphic image of cardinality is cotorsion, is G necessarily cortorsion? In this note we will give some counterexamples to this problem. In fact, there is no cardinal ...

A topological space X is called well-filtered if for any filtered family $\mathcal{F}$ of compact saturated sets and an open set U , ∩ $\mathcal{F}$ ⊆ U implies F ⊆ U for some F ∈ $\mathcal{F}$ . Every sober space is well-filtered and the converse is not true. A dcpo (directed complete poset) is called well-filtered if its Scott space is well-filtered. In 1991, Heckmann asked whether every U K -admitting (the same as well-filtered) dcpo is sober. In 2001, Kou constructed a counterexample to give a negative answer. In ...

A 2003 counterexample to a conjecture of Auslander brought attention to a family of rings—colloquially called AC rings—that satisfy a natural condition on vanishing of cohomology. Several results attest to the remarkable homological properties of AC rings, but their definition is barely operational, and it remains unknown if they form a class that is closed under typical constructions in ring theory. In this paper, we study transfer of the AC property along local homomorphisms of Cohen–Macaulay ...
