Weierstrass Type Representation of Willmore Surfaces in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

In this paper, we reformulate the Euler-Lagrange equations of Willmore surfaces in S^n as the flatness of a family of certain loop algebra-valued 1-forms. Therefore we can give the Weierstrass type representation of conformal Willmore surfaces. We also discuss the relations between conformal Willmore surfaces in S^n and minimal surfaces in constant curvature spaces S^n, R^n, H^n, and prove that some special Willmore surfaces can be derived from minimal surfaces in S^n, R^n, H^n.

In this paper, we prove that and round geodesic spheres are the only n-dimensional compact embedded rotation hypersurfaces with H_m = 0 (1 ≤ m ≤ n − 1) in a unit sphere Sⁿ⁺¹(1).

The classification of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-local finite groups over the extraspecial group of order <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript>3</Superscript> and exponent <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>

In this paper we classify the p-local finite groups over p¹⁺²₊, the extraspecial group of order p³ and exponent p for odd p. This study reduces to the classification of the saturated fusion systems over p¹⁺²₊, which will be characterized by the outer automorphism group, the number of -radical subgroups and the automorphism group of each nontrivial -radical subgroup. As part of this classification, we obtain three new exotic 7-local finite groups.Partially supported by MCYT grant BFM2001-2035.Partially supported by MCYT grant BFM2001-1825.Both authors have been supported by the EU grant nr HPRN-CT-1999-00119.in final form: 1 October 2003

Existence of three HMOLS of type 2<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript>

A Latin squares of order v with ni missing sub-Latin squares （holes） of order hi （1 〈= i 〈 k）, which are disjoint and spanning （i.e. ∑k i=l1 nihi = v）, is called a partitioned incomplete Latin squares and denoted by PILS. The type of PILS is defined by （h1n1 h2n2…hknk ）. If any two PILS inaset of t PILS of type T are orthogonal, then we denote the set by t-HMOLS（T）. It has been proved that 3-HMOLS（2n31） exist for n ≥6 with 11 possible exceptions. In this paper, we investigate the existence of 3-HMOLS（2nu1） with u ≥ 4, and prove that 3-HMOLS（2~u1） exist if n ≥ 54 and n ≥7/4u ＋ 7.     

On Stability of Cones in <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+1</Superscript> with Zero Scalar Curvature

In this work we generalize the case of scalar curvature zero the results of Simmons (Ann. Math. 88 (1968), 62–105) for minimal cones in Rⁿ⁺¹. If Mⁿ⁻¹ is a compact hypersurface of the sphere Sⁿ(1) we represent by C(M)ε the truncated cone based on M with center at the origin. It is easy to see that M has zero scalar curvature if and only if the cone base on M also has zero scalar curvature. Hounie and Leite (J. Differential Geom. 41 (1995), 247–258) recently gave the conditions for the ellipticity of the partial differential equation of the scalar curvature. To show that, we have to assume n ⩾ 4 and the three-curvature of M to be different from zero. For such cones, we prove that, for n ≤slant 7 there is an ε for which the truncate cone C(M)_ε is not stable. We also show that for n ⩾ 8 there exist compact, orientable hypersurfaces Mⁿ⁻¹ of the sphere with zero scalar curvature and S₃ different from zero, for which all truncated cones based on M are stable.

Positive definite quadratic forms representing integers of the form <Emphasis Type="Italic">an</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>

For any subset S of positive integers, a positive definite integral quadratic form is said to be S-universal if it represents every integer in the set S. In this article, we classify all binary S-universal positive definite integral quadratic forms in the case when S=S _a ={an ²∣n≥2} or S=S _a,b ={an ²+b∣n∈ℤ}, where a is a positive integer and ab is a square-free positive integer in the latter case. We also prove that there are only finitely many S _a -universal ternary quadratic forms not representing a. Finally, we show that there are exactly 15 ternary diagonal S ₁-universal quadratic forms not representing 1.

Generalized doubling constructions for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+1</Superscript>

The sphere S ⁿ⁺¹ contains a simple family of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces of the form C _t : = S ^p (cos t) × S ^q (sin t) for p + q = n and called the generalized Clifford hypersurfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC hypersurfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring generalized Clifford tori connected to each other by small catenoidal bridges at a sufficiently symmetric configuration of points can be constructed by perturbative PDE methods. That is, one can create an approximate solution by gluing a rescaled catenoid into the neighbourhood of each point; and then one can show that a perturbation of this approximate hypersurface exists, which satisfies the CMC condition. The results of this paper generalize those of the authors in [3].     

Regular interval Cantor sets of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> and minimality

It is known that not every Cantor set of S ¹ is C ¹-minimal. In this work we prove that every member of a subfamily of what we here call regular interval Cantor set is not C ¹-minimal. We also prove that no member of a class of Cantor sets that includes this subfamily is C ^1+∈-minimal, for any ∈ > 0. Partially supported by CNPq-Brasil and PEDECIBA-Uruguay.     

Non-Zero Degree Maps Between <Emphasis Type="Italic">2n</Emphasis>-Manifolds

Abstract Thom–Pontrjagin constructions are used to give a computable necessary and sufficient condition for a homomorphism ϕ : H ⁿ (L;Z) → H ⁿ (M;Z) to be realized by a map f : M → L of degree k for closed (n − 1)-connected 2n-manifolds M and L, n > 1. A corollary is that each (n − 1)-connected 2n-manifold admits selfmaps of degree larger than 1, n > 1. In the most interesting case of dimension 4, with the additional surgery arguments we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a degree k map from a closed orientable 4-manifold M to a closed simply connected 4-manifold L in terms of their intersection forms; in particular, there is a map f : M → L of degree 1 if and only if the intersection form of L is isomorphic to a direct summand of that of M.

Let Γ ⊂ ℝⁿ, n ≥ 2, be the boundary of a bounded domain. We prove that the translates by elements of Γ of functions which transform according to a fixed irreducible representation of the orthogonal group form a dense class in L ^p (ℝⁿ) for . A similar problem for noncompact symmetric spaces of rank one is also considered. We also study the connection of the above problem with the injectivity sets for weighted spherical mean operators.

Let X be a smooth closed oriented non-spin 4-manifold with even intersection form kE₈nH (n1). The -conjecture states that n is greater than or equal to |k|. In this paper we give a proof of the -conjecture. The strategy of this paper is to use the finite dimensional approximation of the map induced from the Seiberg-Witten equations and equivariant e_C-invariants as in the paper of M. Furuta and Y.

The <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>-energy of spherical designs on <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>

This paper investigates the s-energy of (finite and infinite) well separated sequences of spherical designs on the unit sphere S ². A spherical n-design is a point set on S ² that gives rise to an equal weight cubature rule which is exact for all spherical polynomials of degree ≤n. The s-energy E _s (X) of a point set of m distinct points is the sum of the potential for all pairs of distinct points . A sequence Ξ = {X _m } of point sets X _m ⊂S ², where X _m has the cardinality card(X _m )=m, is well separated if for each pair of distinct points , where the constant λ is independent of m and X _m . For all s>0, we derive upper bounds in terms of orders of n and m(n) of the s-energy E _s (X _m(n)) for well separated sequences Ξ = {X _m(n)} of spherical n-designs X _m(n) with card(X _m(n))=m(n).

Let p be an odd prime number, and p^n₀{p^{n_0}} the highest power of p dividing 2 ^p−1 − 1. Let K_n=Q(z_pⁿ⁺¹){K_n={\bf Q}(\zeta_{p^{n+1}})} and L_n,j=K_n⁺(z_2^j+2){L_{n,j}=K_n^+(\zeta_{2^{j+2}})} for j ≥ 0. Let h_n^*{h_n^*} be the relative class number of K _n , and h _n,j the class number of L _n,j , respectively. Let n be an integer with n ≥ n ₀. We prove that if the ratio h_n^*/h_n-1^*{h_n^*/h_{n-1}^*} is odd, then h _n,j /h _n−1,j is odd for any j ≥ 0.     

Immersed Hypersurfaces in the Unit Sphere S^m＋1 with Constant Blaschke Eigenvalues

For an immersed submanifold x ： M^m→ Sn in the unit sphere S^n without umbilics, an eigenvalue of the Blaschke tensor of x is called a Blaschke eigenvalue of x. It is interesting to determine all hypersurfaces in Sn with constant Blaschke eigenvalues. In this paper, we are able to classify all immersed hypersurfaces in S^m＋1 with vanishing MSbius form and constant Blaschke eigenvalues, in case （1） x has exact two distinct Blaschke eigenvalues, or （2） m = 3. With these classifications, some interesting examples are also presented.
