<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-harmonic forms and stable hypersurfaces in space forms

We prove that a complete noncompact orientable stable minimal hypersurface in \mathbbSⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{S}^{n+1}} (n ≤ 4) admits no nontrivial L ²-harmonic forms. We also obtain that a complete noncompact strongly stable hypersurface with constant mean curvature in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} or \mathbbSⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{S}^{n+1}} (n ≤ 4) admits no nontrivial L ²-harmonic forms. These results are generalized versions of Tanno’s result on stable minimal hypersurfaces in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}.     

Compact Surfaces with Constant Gaussian Curvature in Product Spaces

We prove that the only compact surfaces of positive constant Gaussian curvature in \mathbbH²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}} (resp. positive constant Gaussian curvature greater than 1 in \mathbbS²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{S}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}}) whose boundary Γ is contained in a slice of the ambient space and such that the surface intersects this slice at a constant angle along Γ, are the pieces of a rotational complete surface. We also obtain some area estimates for surfaces of positive constant Gaussian curvature in \mathbbH²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{H}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}} and positive constant Gaussian curvature greater than 1 in \mathbbS²×\mathbbR{\mathbb{S}^{2}\times\mathbb{R}} whose boundary is contained in a slice of the ambient space. These estimates are optimal in the sense that if the bounds are attained, the surface is again a piece of a rotational complete surface.     

New Besov-type spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces including Q spaces

Let ${s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}}Let s, t ? \mathbbR{s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}} and q ? (0,￥]{q\in(0,\infty]} . We introduce Besov-type spaces [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} for p ? (0, ￥]{p\in(0,\,\infty]} and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) for p ? (0, ￥){{{{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}\,{\rm for}\, p\in(0,\,\infty)} , which unify and generalize the Besov spaces, Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces. We then establish the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of these new spaces in the sense of Frazier and Jawerth. Using the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\, {\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} , we obtain their embedding and lifting properties; moreover, for appropriate τ, we also establish the smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\,{\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} . For s ? \mathbbR{s\in\mathbb{R}} , p ? (1, ￥), q ? [1, ￥){p\in(1,\,\infty), q\in[1,\,\infty)} and t ? [0, \frac1(max{p, q})￠]{\tau\in[0,\,\frac{1}{(\max\{p,\,q\})'}]} , via the Hausdorff capacity, we introduce certain Hardy–Hausdorff spaces B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} and prove that the dual space of B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} is just [(B)\dot]^-s, t_p￠, q￠(\mathbbRⁿ){\dot{B}^{-s,\,\tau}_{p',\,q'}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , where t′ denotes the conjugate index of t ? (1,￥){t\in (1,\infty)} .     

Roots of the affine Cremona group

Let k ^[n] = k[x ₁,…, x _n ] be the polynomial algebra in n variables and let \mathbbAⁿ = \textSpec  \boldk^{[ n ]} {\mathbb{A}^n} = {\text{Spec}}\;{{\bold{k}}^{\left[ n \right]}} . In this note we show that the root vectors of \textAu\textt^*( \mathbbAⁿ ) {\text{Au}}{{\text{t}}^*}\left( {{\mathbb{A}^n}} \right) , the subgroup of volume preserving automorphisms in the affine Cremona group \textAut( \mathbbAⁿ ) {\text{Aut}}\left( {{\mathbb{A}^n}} \right) , with respect to the diagonal torus are exactly the locally nilpotent derivations x ^α (∂/∂x _i ), where x ^α is any monomial not depending on x _i . This answers a question posed by Popov.     

Affine extractors over prime fields

An affine extractor is a map that is balanced on every affine subspace of large enough dimension. We construct an explicit affine extractor AE from \mathbbFⁿ \mathbb{F}^n to \mathbbF\mathbb{F}, \mathbbF\mathbb{F} a prime field, so that AE(x) is exponentially close to uniform when x is chosen uniformly at random from an arbitrary affine subspace of \mathbbFⁿ \mathbb{F}^n of dimension at least δn, 0<δ≤1 a constant. Previously, Bourgain constructed such affine extractors when the size of \mathbbF\mathbb{F} is two. Our construction is in the spirit of but different than Bourgain’s construction. This allows for simpler analysis and better quantitative results.     

Approximations of the exponential of an operator with periodic coefficients

We consider the operator exponential e ^−tA , t > 0, where A is a selfadjoint positive definite operator corresponding to the diffusion equation in \mathbbRⁿ {\mathbb{R}^n} with measurable 1-periodic coefficients, and approximate it in the operator norm ||   ·   ||_{L²( \mathbbRⁿ ) ? L²( \mathbbRⁿ )} {\left\| {\; \cdot \;} \right\|_{{{L^2}\left( {{\mathbb{R}^n}} \right) \to {L^2}\left( {{\mathbb{R}^n}} \right)}}} with order O( t ^{- \fracm2} ) O\left( {{t^{{ - \frac{m}{2}}}}} \right) as t → ∞, where m is an arbitrary natural number. To construct approximations we use the homogenized parabolic equation with constant coefficients, the order of which depends on m and is greater than 2 if m > 2. We also use a collection of 1-periodic functions N _α (x), x ? \mathbbRⁿ x \in {\mathbb{R}^n} , with multi-indices α of length | a| \leqslant m \left| \alpha \right| \leqslant m , that are solutions to certain elliptic problems on the periodicity cell. These results are used to homogenize the diffusion equation with ε-periodic coefficients, where ε is a small parameter. In particular, under minimal regularity conditions, we construct approximations of order O(ε ^m ) in the L ²-norm as ε → 0. Bibliography: 14 titles.     

Counting Ω-ideals

Let ${\mathbb{A}}Let \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} be a universal algebra of signature Ω, and let I{\mathcal{I}} be an ideal in the Boolean algebra P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} of all subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} . We say that I{\mathcal{I}} is an Ω-ideal if I{\mathcal{I}} contains all finite subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} and f(Aⁿ) ? I{f(A^{n}) \in \mathcal{I}} for every n-ary operation f ? W{f \in \Omega} and every A ? I{A \in \mathcal{I}} . We prove that there are 2^2à₀{2^{2^{\aleph_0}}} Ω-ideals in P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} provided that \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} is countably infinite and Ω is countable.     

On constructing total orders and solving vector optimization problems with total orders

In this paper, we introduce a construction method of total ordering cone on \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^n} . It is shown that any total ordering cone on \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^n} is isomorphic to the cone \mathbbRⁿ_lex{\mathbb{R}^n_{lex}} . Existence of a total ordering cone that contain given cone with a compact base is shown. By using this cone, a solving method of vector and set valued optimization problems is presented.     

Homotopy Categories for Simply Connected Torsion Spaces

For each n > 1 and each multiplicative closed set of integers S, we study closed model category structures on the pointed category of topological spaces, where the classes of weak equivalences are classes of maps inducing isomorphism on homotopy groups with coefficients in determined torsion abelian groups, in degrees higher than or equal to n. We take coefficients either on all the cyclic groups with s ∈ S, or in the abelian group where is the group of fractions of the form with s ∈ S. In the first case, for n > 1 the localized category is equivalent to the ordinary homotopy category of (n − 1)-connected CW-complexes whose homotopy groups are S-torsion. In the second case, for n > 1 we obtain that the localized category is equivalent to the ordinary homotopy category of (n − 1)-connected CW-complexes whose homotopy groups are S-torsion and the nth homotopy group is divisible. These equivalences of categories are given by colocalizations , obtained by cofibrant approximations on the model structures. These colocalization maps have nice universal properties. For instance, the map is final (in the homotopy category) among all the maps of the form Y → X with Y an (n − 1)-connected CW-complex whose homotopy groups are S-torsion and its nth homotopy group is divisible. The spaces , are constructed using the cones of Moore spaces of the form M(T, k), where T is a coefficient group of the corresponding structure of models, and homotopy colimits indexed by a suitable ordinal. If S is generated by a set P of primes and S ^p is generated by a prime p ∈ P one has that for n > 1 the category is equivalent to the product category . If the multiplicative system S is generated by a finite set of primes, then localized category is equivalent to the homotopy category of n-connected Ext-S-complete CW-complexes and a similar result is obtained for .     

Metric Flips with Calabi Ansatz

We study the limiting behavior of the K?hler–Ricci flow on \mathbbP(O_\mathbbPⁿ ?O_\mathbbPⁿ(-1)^?(m+1)){{\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n} \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(-1)^{\oplus(m+1)})}} for m, n ≥ 1, assuming the initial metric satisfies the Calabi symmetry. We show that the flow either shrinks to a point, collapses to \mathbbPⁿ{{\mathbb{P}^n}} or contracts a subvariety of codimension m + 1 in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense. We also show that the K?hler–Ricci flow resolves a certain type of cone singularities in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense.     

Fujita-Liouville Type Theorem for Coupled Fourth-Order Parabolic Inequalities

This paper deals with a coupled system of fourth-order parabolic inequalities |u|t ≥ 2u + |v|q,|v|t ≥ 2v + |u|p in S = Rn × R+ with p,q > 1,n ≥ 1.A FujitaLiouville type theorem is established that the inequality system does not admit nontrivial nonnegative global solutions on S whenever n4 ≤ max(ppq+11,pqq+11).Since the general maximum-comparison principle does not hold for the fourth-order problem,the authors use the test function method to get the global non-existence of nontrivial solutions.

We consider the class of minimal surfaces given by the graphical strips ${{\mathcal S}}We consider the class of minimal surfaces given by the graphical strips S{{\mathcal S}} in the Heisenberg group \mathbb H¹{{\mathbb {H}}^1} and we prove that for points p along the center of \mathbb H¹{{\mathbb {H}}^1} the quantity \fracs_H(S?B(p,r))r^Q-1{\frac{\sigma_H(\mathcal S\cap B(p,r))}{r^{Q-1}}} is monotone increasing. Here, Q is the homogeneous dimension of \mathbb H¹{{\mathbb {H}}^1} . We also prove that these minimal surfaces have maximum volume growth at infinity.     

The Cauchy problem for the liquid crystals system in the critical Besov space with negative index

The local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of the liquid crystals system in the critical Besov space \(\dot B_{p,1}^{n/p - 1}\left( {{\mathbb{R}^n}} \right) \times \dot B_{p,1}^{n/p}\left( {{\mathbb{R}^n}} \right)\) with n < p < 2n is established by using the heat semigroup theory and the Littlewood-Paley theory. The global well-posedness for the system is obtained with small initial datum by using the fixed point theorem. The blow-up results for strong solutions to the system are also analysed.     

Rectifiability and Lipschitz extensions into the Heisenberg group

Denote by \mathbbHⁿ{\mathbb{H}^n} the 2n + 1 dimensional Heisenberg group. We show that the pairs (\mathbbR^k ,\mathbbHⁿ){(\mathbb{R}^k ,\mathbb{H}^n)} and (\mathbbH^k ,\mathbbHⁿ){(\mathbb{H}^k ,\mathbb{H}^n)} do not have the Lipschitz extension property for k  >  n.

We prove a modular version of this result (valid for p≫0) and use it to show that, in characteristic 0, the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture fails for the simple Lie algebras of the above types. In other words, if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B n , n≥3, D n , n≥4, E6, E7, E8 or F4, then the Lie field of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is more complicated than expected.      18.
