Derivative of power series attached to Γ-transform of p-adic measures

We extend the result of Anglès (2007) [1], namely for the Iwasawa power series . For the derivative , a numerical polynomial Q on Zp, and a prime π in over p, we show that if and only if i.e. for all x∈Zp. This result comes from a similar assertion for the power series attached to the Γ-transform of a p-adic measure which is related to a certain rational function in .     

Carleson measure problems for parabolic Bergman spaces and homogeneous Sobolev spaces

Let be the space of solutions to the parabolic equation having finite norm. We characterize nonnegative Radon measures μ on having the property , 1≤p≤q<∞, whenever . Meanwhile, denoting by v(t,x) the solution of the above equation with Cauchy data v₀(x), we characterize nonnegative Radon measures μ on satisfying , β∈(0,n), p∈[1,n/β], q∈(0,∞). Moreover, we obtain the decay of v(t,x), an isocapacitary inequality and a trace inequality.     

Quartic, octic residues and Lucas sequences

Let be a prime and a,b∈Z with a²+b²≠p. Suppose p=x²+(a²+b²)y² for some integers x and y. In the paper we develop the calculation technique of quartic Jacobi symbols and use it to determine . As applications we obtain the congruences for modulo p and the criteria for (if ), where {Un} is the Lucas sequence given by U₀=0, U₁=1 and Un+1=bUn+k²Un−1(n?1). We also pose many conjectures concerning , or .     

Higher power moments of the Riesz mean error term of symmetric square L-function

Let be the error term of the Riesz mean of the symmetric square L-function. We give the higher power moments of and show that if there exists a real number A₀:=A₀(ρ)>3 such that , then we can derive asymptotic formulas for , 3?h<A₀, h∈N. Particularly, we get asymptotic formulas for , h=3,4,5 unconditionally.     

Decompositions of Besov-Hausdorff and Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff spaces and their applications

Let p∈(1,∞), q∈[1,∞), s∈R and . In this paper, the authors establish the φ-transform characterizations of Besov-Hausdorff spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff spaces (q>1); as applications, the authors then establish their embedding properties (which on is also sharp), smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations for suitable τ. Moreover, using their atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations, the authors investigate the trace properties and the boundedness of pseudo-differential operators with homogeneous symbols in and (q>1), which generalize the corresponding classical results on homogeneous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces when p∈(1,∞) and q∈[1,∞) by taking τ=0.     

Class number indivisibility for quadratic function fields

Let M?5. For any odd prime power q and any prime ??q, we show that there are at least pairwise coprime D∈Fq[T] which are square-free and of odd degree ?M, such that ? does not divide the class number of the complex quadratic functions fields .     

Characterizations of Besov-type and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces via maximal functions and local means

Let s∈R. In this paper, the authors first establish the maximal function characterizations of the Besov-type space with and τ∈[0,∞), the Triebel-Lizorkin-type space with p∈(0,∞), q∈(0,∞] and τ∈[0,∞), the Besov-Hausdorff space with p∈(1,∞), q∈[1,∞) and and the Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff space with and , where t^′ denotes the conjugate index of t∈[1,∞]. Using this characterization, the authors further obtain the local mean characterizations of these function spaces via functions satisfying the Tauberian condition and establish a Fourier multiplier theorem on these spaces. All these results generalize the existing classical results on Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces by taking τ=0 and are also new even for Q spaces and Hardy-Hausdorff spaces.     

Galois deformation theory for norm fields and flat deformation rings

Let K be a finite extension of Qp, and choose a uniformizer π∈K, and put . We introduce a new technique using restriction to to study flat deformation rings. We show the existence of deformation rings for -representations “of height ≤h” for any positive integer h, and prove that when h=1 they are isomorphic to “flat deformation rings”. This -deformation theory has a good positive characteristics analogue of crystalline representations in the sense of Genestier-Lafforgue. In particular, we obtain a positive characteristic analogue of crystalline deformation rings, and can analyze their local structure.

Unique expansions of real numbers

It was discovered some years ago that there exist non-integer real numbers q>1 for which only one sequence (ci) of integers ci∈[0,q) satisfies the equality . The set of such “univoque numbers” has a rich topological structure, and its study revealed a number of unexpected connections with measure theory, fractals, ergodic theory and Diophantine approximation.In this paper we consider for each fixed q>1 the set Uq of real numbers x having a unique representation of the form with integers ci belonging to [0,q). We carry out a detailed topological study of these sets. For instance, we characterize their closures, and we determine those bases q for which Uq is closed or even a Cantor set. We also study the set consisting of all sequences (ci) of integers ci∈[0,q) such that . We determine the numbers r>1 for which the map (defined on (1,∞)) is constant in a neighborhood of r and the numbers q>1 for which is a subshift or a subshift of finite type.     

The distribution of patterns of inverses modulo a prime

We investigate the distribution of the numbers x∈[1,p] for which all lie in a subset of the set of multiplicative inverses modulo a prime p. Here the a_i are integers coprime to p and the numbers are distinct .     

Lifting Galois representations of number fields

Let F be a number field. Given a continuous representation with insoluble image we show, under moderate assumptions at primes dividing ?∞, that for some continuous representation which is unramified outside finitely many primes. We also establish level lowering when F is totally real, is the reduction of a nearly ordinary Hilbert modular form and is distinguished at ?.     

Générateurs de l'anneau des entiers d'une extension cyclotomique

Let p be an odd prime and q=pm, where m is a positive integer. Let ζq be a qth primitive root of 1 and Oq be the ring of integers in Q(ζq). In [I. Gaál, L. Robertson, Power integral bases in prime-power cyclotomic fields, J. Number Theory 120 (2006) 372-384] I. Gaál and L. Robertson show that if , where is the class number of , then if α∈Oq is a generator of Oq (in other words Z[α]=Oq) either α is equals to a conjugate of an integer translate of ζq or is an odd integer. In this paper we show that we can remove the hypothesis over . In other words we show that if α∈Oq is a generator of Oq then either α is a conjugate of an integer translate of ζq or is an odd integer.

Quartic residues and binary quadratic forms

Let be a prime, m∈Z and . In this paper we obtain a general criterion for m to be a quartic residue in terms of appropriate binary quadratic forms. Let d>1 be a squarefree integer such that , where is the Legendre symbol, and let ε_d be the fundamental unit of the quadratic field . Since 1942 many mathematicians tried to characterize those primes p so that ε_d is a quadratic or quartic residue . In this paper we will completely solve these open problems by determining the value of , where p is an odd prime, and . As an application we also obtain a general criterion for , where {u_n(a,b)} is the Lucas sequence defined by and .
