Bousfield introduced an algebraic category of modules that reflects the structure detected by p-localized complex topological K-theory. He constructed, for any module M in this category, a natural 4-term exact sequence 0 → M → U M → U M → M ⊗ Q → 0 , where U denotes the co-free functor, right adjoint to the forgetful functor to Z (p) -modules. Clarke et al. identified the objects of Bousfield's category as the 'discrete' modules for a certain topological ring A, obtained as a completion of the polynomial ring Z (p) [ x ] , and simplified the construction of the Bousfield sequence in this context. We introduce the notion of 'cobasically discrete' R-modules as a clarification of the Clarke et al. modules, noting that these correspond to comodules over the coalgebra that R is dual to. We study analogues of the Bousfield sequence for other polynomial completion rings, noting a variety of behaviour in the last term of the sequence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper establishes a relation between exact sequences, parametric finite elements, and perfectly matched layer (PML) techniques. We illuminate the analogy between the Piola-like maps used to define parametric H-, H(curl)-, H(div)-, and L-conforming elements, and the corresponding PML complex coordinates stretching for the same energy spaces. We deliver a method for obtaining PML-stretched bilinear forms (constituting the new weak formulation for the original problem with PML absorbing boundary layers) directly from their classical counterparts.

We investigate exactness of long sequences of homology semimodules associated to Schreier short exact sequences of chain complexes of semimodules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
