Bubbling solutions for an anisotropic Emden–Fowler equation

We consider the following anisotropic Emden–Fowler equation where is a bounded smooth domain and a(x) is a positive smooth function. We investigate the effect of anisotropic coefficient a(x) on the existence of bubbling solutions. We show that at given local maximum points of a(x), there exists arbitrarily many bubbles. As a consequence, the quantity can approach to as . These results show a striking difference with the isotropic case [ Constant].     

Three-dimensional sets with small sumset

We describe the structure of three dimensional sets of lattice points, having a small doubling property. Let be a finite subset of ℤ³ such that dim = 3. If and , then lies on three parallel lines. Moreover, for every three dimensional finite set that lies on three parallel lines, if , then is contained in three arithmetic progressions with the same common difference, having together no more than terms. These best possible results confirm a recent conjecture of Freiman and cannot be sharpened by reducing the quantity υ or by increasing the upper bounds for .

Fibred multilinks and singularities $${f \overline g}$$

In this article we extend Milnor’s fibration theorem to the case of functions of the form with f, g holomorphic, defined on a complex analytic (possibly singular) germ (X, 0). We further refine this fibration theorem by looking not only at the link of , but also at its multi-link structure, which is more subtle. We mostly focus on the case when X has complex dimension two. Our main result (Theorem 4.4) gives in this case the equivalence of the following three statements:

Complete surfaces of constant curvature in H<Superscript>2</Superscript> × R and S<Superscript>2</Superscript> × R

Moreover, we show that the hyperbolic plane of constant curvature c < −1 cannot be isometrically immersed into or . J.A.

Ground state alternative for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplacian with potential term

Let Ω be a domain in , d ≥ 2, and 1 < p < ∞. Fix . Consider the functional Q and its Gateaux derivative Q′ given by If Q ≥ 0 on, then either there is a positive continuous function W such that for all, or there is a sequence and a function v > 0 satisfying Q′ (v) = 0, such that Q(u _k ) → 0, and in . In the latter case, v is (up to a multiplicative constant) the unique positive supersolution of the equation Q′ (u) = 0 in Ω, and one has for Q an inequality of Poincaré type: there exists a positive continuous function W such that for every satisfying there exists a constant C > 0 such that . As a consequence, we prove positivity properties for the quasilinear operator Q′ that are known to hold for general subcritical resp. critical second-order linear elliptic operators.     

Equivariant gluing constructions of contact stationary Legendrian submanifolds in $${\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}}$$

A contact-stationary Legendrian submanifold of is a Legendrian submanifold whose volume is stationary under contact deformations. The simplest contact-stationary Legendrian submanifold (actually minimal Legendrian) is the real, equatorial n-sphere S ₀. This paper develops a method for constructing contact-stationary (but not minimal) Legendrian submanifolds of by gluing together configurations of sufficiently many many U(n + 1)-rotated copies of S ₀. Two examples of the construction, corresponding to finite cyclic subgroups of U(n + 1) are given. The resulting submanifolds are very symmetric; are geometrically akin to a ‘necklace’ of copies of S ₀ attached to each other by narrow necks and winding a large number of times around before closing up on themselves; and are topologically equivalent to .

On the number of moduli of plane sextics with six cusps

Let be the variety of irreducible sextics with six cusps as singularities. Let be one of irreducible components of . Denoting by the space of moduli of smooth curves of genus 4, we consider the rational map sending the general point [Γ] of Σ, corresponding to a plane curve , to the point of parametrizing the normalization curve of Γ. The number of moduli of Σ is, by definition the dimension of Π(Σ). We know that , where ρ(2, 4, 6) is the Brill–Noether number of linear series of dimension 2 and degree 6 on a curve of genus 4. We prove that both irreducible components of have number of moduli equal to seven.
