For the next four lemmas let q be a prime power satisfying gcd(n,q) = 1 and let either S = A be an abelian surface over Fq or let S—>A be a geometrically ruled surface over an elliptic curve A over Fq. In this case we assume that there exist an open cover ([/ ),- of A and isomorphisms a 1( 7i) = /, x Pj over Fq. In both cases we assume that, for all l < n, all the /-division points of A are defined over Fq. All these conditions can be obtained by extending Fq if necessary. Let F be the geometric Frobenius over Fq. We put... 

We start with a convenient definition. Just as prime powers play a particular role in number theory, Cartesian sums of copies of one irreducible representation play a particular role in representation theory. 

It is a well-known open question, whether or not d = 3 implies that n is a prime power. 

If small amounts of copper and hydrochloric acid are added to the reaction mixture, a white product is obtained. Mercury fulminate is stored under water. It is dried at 40 °C (104 °F) shortly before use. Owing to its excellent priming power, its high brisance, and to the fact that it can easily be detonated, mercury fulminate was the initial explosive most frequently used prior to the appearance of lead azide. It is used in compressed form in the manufacture of blasting caps and percussion caps. The material, the shells, and the caps are made of copper. 

The Chinese remainder theorem reduces the problem of determining the structure of rings Z to rings Z r for prime powers pL The most important theorem about the latter is lliat for p 2, each multiplicative group Z r is cyclic. 

Modulo a prime power, pL where p 2, a number y is a quadratic residue if and only if it is one modulo p. Furthermore, each quadratic residue has two square roots again. This can be seen by considering the isomorphism with the additive group modulo 0 = (p - l)p If g is a generator, exactly the elements with an even exponent e are the quadratic residues, and g and are the roots. 

Every finitely generated abelian group can be written as a direct product of cyclic groups of prime-power order with a finite number of infinite cyclic groups. In this presentation, the summands are uniquely determined up to isomorphism and order. 

The torsion part can be represented as a direct product of cyclic groups of prime power order. The exponents of this groups are called the torsion coefficients. The nth Betti number and the torsion coefficients are uniquely determined by the group Hn A]Z). 

One of the classical applications of topological methods in combinatorics is the proof of the so-called Evasiveness Conjecture for graphs whose number of vertices is a prime power. In this chapter we describe the framework of the problem, sketch the original argument, and prove some important facts about nonevasiveness. One of the important tools is the so-called closure operators, which are also useful in other contexts. 

So far, the Evasiveness Conjecture has been verified in the case when n is a prime power, and additionally, when n = 6. Beyond being an important fact, the proof has also acquired quite a bit of resonance due to its nontrivial use of topological techniques. We would hke to sketch the argument here. First we need the following result. 

Here we shall assume Theorem 13.5 without proof. Let us instead prove the Evasiveness Conjecture for prime powers, using some simple statements, which will be proved in the next subsection. 

Assume now that n = p, for some prime number p. Assume that the Evasiveness Conjecture is false for that value of n, and let Q denote a monotone, but nonevasive, graph property. Furthermore, let GF(n) denote a field with n elements, which exists because n is a prime power, and let GF(n) denote the multiplicative group of that field. Let F be a subgroup of [Pg.228]

The Evasiveness Conjecture for abstract simplicial complexes is still open for general n. It has been verified for the case when n is a prime power, as well as for the special cases n = 6, 10, and 12. 

The Evasiveness Conjecture for the case when n is a prime power and the case n = 6 is due to Kahn, Saks, and Stmtevant see [KSS84], Theorem 13.5 is due to Oliver for its proof we refer the interested reader to the original paper of Oliver, [0175],... 

The proof of the Generalized Aanderaa Rosenberg Conjecture for the case when n is a prime power is due to Rivest VuiUemin, [RV75]. The first counterexample to the Generalized Aanderaa Rosenberg Conjecture is due to lilies, [1178], Furthermore, an infinite family of coimterexamples can be found... 

It is technically easier to start oflFwith applications that are grid tied. Here the grid, in the majority of cases, operates as the prime power source, with the fuel cell only operating as a back-up power source ... 

If we look just at markets with some pull in the Global North, we see that they can be both prime power and backup power products such as those for base stations, fuel-cell generators for use in military mobile hospitals, and prime power providers to off-grid villages. If we focus on just one example - the military - we can illustrate the levels of power we are discussing here. 

Currently, most base stations are grid tied with the electricity grid providing prime power. Backup comes in the form of diesel generators, and to a much lesser extent some form of renewable - battery hybrid system. Off-grid base stations are much less common but when they are installed the norm is a two-diesel generator system, where one acts as the primary with the backup power provided by the other. 

This does not take into account any miHtary sites. Each of these sites requires a very low wattage of power to provide power to the monitoring equipment. At present this is produced by some form of off-grid prime power generation technology. 

Operating Life The period of time in which prime power is applied to electrical or electronic components without maintenance or rework.
