Moreover, it is shown that the subring $\\ell^\\infty$ of $s'$ of all bounded sequences is coherent too, while the subring $c$ of $\\ell^\\infty$ of all convergent sequences is not coherent. It is also observed that $s'$ is a Hermite ring, but not a projective free ring.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-15T09:04:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46F05", "13J99", "16S15" ], "keywords": [ "periodic distributions", "convergent sequences", "polynomial growth", "fourier coefficients", "termwise operations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
