The Fermi-Walker Derivative on the Spherical Indicatrix of Spacelike Curve in Minkowski 3-Space

In this paper Fermi-Walker derivative, Fermi-Walker parallelism, non-rotating frame and Fermi-Walker terms Darboux vector concepts are given along the spherical indicatrix of a spacelike curve with a spacelike or timelike principal normal in \({E_{1}^{3}}\). First, we consider a spacelike curve in the Minkowski space and investigate the Fermi-Walker derivative along the tangent. The concepts with the Fermi-Walker derivative are analyzed along its tangent. Then, the Fermi-Walker derivative and its theorems are analyzed along the principal normal indicatrix and the binormal indicatrix of spacelike curve in \({E_{1}^{3}}\).

First, we consider a timelike curve in the Minkowski space and investigate the Fermi–Walker derivative along the tangent. The concepts which Fermi–Walker derivative are analyzed along its tangent. Then, the Fermi–Walker derivative and its theorems are analyzed along the principal normal indicatrix and the binormal indicatrix of timelike curve in \({E_{1}^{3}}\).     

Viability property of jump diffusion processes on manifolds

In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for viability property of diffusion processes with jumps on closed submanifolds of R ^m . Our result is the system is viable in a closed submanifold K iff the coefficients are tangent to K along K if the equation is in the sense of stratonovich integral and the solution jumps from K to K.     

Metric projection onto subsets of compact connected two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds

The paper is focused on combinatorial properties of the metric projection P _E of a compact connected Riemannian two-dimensional manifold M ² onto its subset E consisting of k closed connected sets E _j . A point x ∈ M ² is called singular if P _E (x) contains points from at least three distinct E _j . An exact estimate of the number of singular points is obtained in terms of k and the type of the manifold M ². A similar estimate is proved for subsets E of a normed plane consisting of a finite number of connected components.     

Relative Gorenstein Dimensions

In the last years (Gorenstein) homological dimensions relative to a semidualizing module C have been subject of several works as interesting extensions of (Gorenstein) homological dimensions. In this paper, we extend to the noncommutative case the concepts of G _C -projective module and dimension, weakening the condition of C being semidualizing as well. We prove that indeed they share the principal properties of the classical ones and relate this new dimension with the classical Gorenstein projective dimension of a module. The dual concepts of G _C -injective modules and dimension are also treated. Finally, we show some interesting interactions between the class of G _C -projective modules and the Bass class associated to C on one side, and the class of G\({_{C^{\vee}}}\) -injective modules (C ^∨ = Hom _R (C, E) where E is an injective cogenerator in R-Mod) and the Auslander class associated to C in the other.     

The existence of semiclassical states for some <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplacian equation with critical exponent

In this paper, we study the existence of semiclassical states for some p-Laplacian equation. Under given conditions and minimax methods, we show that this problem has at least one positive solution provided that ε ≤ E; for any m ∈ ?, it has m pairs solutions if ε ≤ E _m , where E, E_m are sufficiently small positive numbers. Moreover, these solutions are closed to zero in W^1,p(? ^N ) as ε → 0.     

Congruent elliptic curves with non-trivial Shafarevich-Tate groups

We study 2-primary parts ⅢX(E~((n))/Q)[2~∞] of Shafarevich-Tate groups of congruent elliptic curves E~((n)): y~2= x~3-n~2x, n ∈Q~×/Q~(×2). Previous results focused on finding sufficient conditions for ⅢX(E~((n))/Q)[2~∞]trivial or isomorphic to(Z/2Z)~2. Our first result gives necessary and sufficient conditions such that the 2-primary part of the Shafarevich-Tate group of E~((n))is isomorphic to(Z/2Z)～2 and the Mordell-Weil rank of E~((n)) is zero,provided that all prime divisors of n are congruent to 1 modulo 4. Our second result provides sufficient conditions for ⅢX(E~((n))/Q)[2~∞]■(Z/2Z)~(2k), where k≥2.     

On sets of directions determined by subsets of ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis></Superscript>

Given E ? ? ^d , d ≥ 2, define

$D(E) \equiv \left\{ {{{x - y} \over {\left| {x - y} \right|}}:x,y \in E} \right\} \subset {S^{d - 1}}$

to be the set of directions determined by E. We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of E is greater than d ? 1, then σ(D(E)) > 0, where σ denotes the surface measure on S ^d?1. In the process, we prove some tight upper and lower bounds for the maximal function associated with the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the natural measure on D. This result is sharp, since the conclusion fails to hold if E is a (d ? 1)-dimensional hyper-plane. This result can be viewed as a continuous analog of a recent result of Pach, Pinchasi, and Sharir ([22, 23]) on directions determined by finite subsets of ? ^d . We also discuss the case when the Hausdorff dimension of E is precisely d ? 1, where some interesting counter-examples have been obtained by Simon and Solomyak ([25]) in the planar case. In response to the conjecture stated in this paper, T. Orponen and T. Sahlsten ([20]) have recently proved that if the Hausdorff dimension of E equals d ? 1 and E is rectifiable and is not contained in a hyper-pane, the Lebesgue measure of the set of directions is still positive. Finally, we show that our continuous results can be used to recover and, in some cases, improve the exponents for the corresponding results in the discrete setting for large classes of finite point sets. In particular, we prove that a finite point set P ? ? ^d , d ≥ 3, satisfying a certain discrete energy condition (Definition 3.1) determines ? #P distinct directions.

     

Remarks on Ramanujam-Kawamata-Viehweg Vanishing Theorem

In this article we prove a general result on a nef vector bundle E on a projective manifold X of dimension n depending on the vector space H^n,n(X,E): It is also shown that H^n,n(X,E) = 0 for an indecomposable nef rank 2 vector bundles E on some specific type of n dimensional projective manifold X. The same vanishing shown to hold for indecomposable nef and big rank 2 vector bundles on any variety with trivial canonical bundle.     

On compact splitting complex submanifolds of quotients of bounded symmetric domains

We study compact complex submanifolds S of quotient manifolds X = ?/Γ of irreducible bounded symmetric domains by torsion free discrete lattices of automorphisms, and we are interested in the characterization of the totally geodesic submanifolds among compact splitting complex submanifolds S ? X, i.e., under the assumption that the tangent sequence over S splits holomorphically. We prove results of two types. The first type of results concerns S ? X which are characteristic complex submanifolds, i.e., embedding ? as an open subset of its compact dual manifold M by means of the Borel embedding, the non-zero(1, 0)-vectors tangent to S lift under a local inverse of the universal covering map π : ? → X to minimal rational tangents of M.We prove that a compact characteristic complex submanifold S ? X is necessarily totally geodesic whenever S is a splitting complex submanifold. Our proof generalizes the case of the characterization of totally geodesic complex submanifolds of quotients of the complex unit ball Bnobtained by Mok(2005). The proof given here is however new and it is based on a monotonic property of curvatures of Hermitian holomorphic vector subbundles of Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles and on exploiting the splitting of the tangent sequence to identify the holomorphic tangent bundle TSas a quotient bundle rather than as a subbundle of the restriction of the holomorphic tangent bundle TXto S. The second type of results concerns characterization of total geodesic submanifolds among compact splitting complex submanifolds S ? X deduced from the results of Aubin(1978)and Yau(1978) which imply the existence of K¨ahler-Einstein metrics on S ? X. We prove that compact splitting complex submanifolds S ? X of sufficiently large dimension(depending on ?) are necessarily totally geodesic. The proof relies on the Hermitian-Einstein property of holomorphic vector bundles associated to TS,which implies that endomorphisms of such bundles are parallel, and the construction of endomorphisms of these vector bundles by means of the splitting of the tangent sequence on S. We conclude with conjectures on the sharp lower bound on dim(S) guaranteeing total geodesy of S ? X for the case of the type-I domains of rank2 and the case of type-IV domains, and examine a case which is critical for both conjectures, i.e., on compact complex surfaces of quotients of the 4-dimensional Lie ball, equivalently the 4-dimensional type-I domain dual to the Grassmannian of 2-planes in C~4.     

A Tannakian Interpretation of the Elliptic Infinitesimal Braid Lie Algebras

Let n ≥?1. The pro-unipotent completion of the pure braid group of n points on a genus 1 surface has been shown to be isomorphic to an explicit pro-unipotent group with graded Lie algebra using two types of tools: (a) minimal models (Bezrukavnikov), (b) the choice of a complex structure on the genus 1 surface, making it into an elliptic curve E, and an appropriate flat connection on the configuration space of n points in E (joint work of the authors with D. Calaque). Following a suggestion by P. Deligne, we give an interpretation of this isomorphism in the framework of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, using the total space E ^# of an affine line bundle over E, which identifies with the moduli space of line bundles over E equipped with a flat connection.     

Knauf’s degree and monodromy in planar potential scattering

We consider Hamiltonian systems on (T*?², dq ∧ dp) defined by a Hamiltonian function H of the “classical” form H = p ²/2 + V(q). A reasonable decay assumption V(q) → 0, ‖q‖ → ∞, allows one to compare a given distribution of initial conditions at t = ?∞ with their final distribution at t = +∞. To describe this Knauf introduced a topological invariant deg(E), which, for a nontrapping energy E > 0, is given by the degree of the scattering map. For rotationally symmetric potentials V(q) = W(‖q‖), scattering monodromy has been introduced independently as another topological invariant. In the present paper we demonstrate that, in the rotationally symmetric case, Knauf’s degree deg(E) and scattering monodromy are related to one another. Specifically, we show that scattering monodromy is given by the jump of the degree deg(E), which appears when the nontrapping energy E goes from low to high values.     

Sets of Absolute Continuity for Harmonic Measure in NTA Domains

We show that if Ω is an NTA domain with harmonic measure ω and E??Ω is contained in an Ahlfors regular set, then \(\omega |_{E}\ll \mathcal {H}^{d}|_{E}\). Moreover, this holds quantitatively in the sense that for all τ>0ω obeys an A_∞-type condition with respect to \(\mathcal {H}^{d}|_{E^{\prime }}\), where E^′?E is so that ω(E?E^′)<τω(E), even though ?Ω may not even be locally \(\mathcal {H}^{d}\)-finite. We also show that, for uniform domains with uniform complements, if E??Ω is the Lipschitz image of a subset of \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\), then there is E^′?E with \(\mathcal {H}^{d}(E\backslash E^{\prime })<\tau \mathcal {H}^{d}(E)\) upon which a similar A_∞-type condition holds.     

The strong <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">greedy</Emphasis> property of the Walsh system

For any 0 < ? < 1 one can find a measurable set E ? [0, 1] with the measure |E| > 1 ? ? such that for each function f(x) ε L ¹ (0, 1) a function g(x) ε L ¹ (0, 1) exists such that it coincides with f (x) on E, its Fourier—Walsh series converges to it in the metric of L ¹ (0, 1), and all nonzero terms of the sequence of Fourier coefficients of the new function obtained by the Walsh system have the modulo decreasing order; consequently, the greedy algorithm for this function converges to it in the L ¹ (0, 1)-norm.     

Finite element method for space-time fractional diffusion equation

In this paper, we consider two types of space-time fractional diffusion equations(STFDE) on a finite domain. The equation can be obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the second order space derivative by a Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order β (1 < β ≤ 2), and the first order time derivative by a Caputo fractional derivative of order γ (0 < γ ≤ 1). For the 0 < γ < 1 case, we present two schemes to approximate the time derivative and finite element methods for the space derivative, the optimal convergence rate can be reached O(τ^2?γ + h²) and O(τ² + h²), respectively, in which τ is the time step size and h is the space step size. And for the case γ = 1, we use the Crank-Nicolson scheme to approximate the time derivative and obtain the optimal convergence rate O(τ² + h²) as well. Some numerical examples are given and the numerical results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.     

Congruent elliptic curves with non-trivial Shafarevich-Tate groups: Distribution part

Given a large positive number x and a positive integer k, we denote by Qk(x) the set of congruent elliptic curves E(n): y2= z3- n2 z with positive square-free integers n x congruent to one modulo eight,having k prime factors and each prime factor congruent to one modulo four. We obtain the asymptotic formula for the number of congruent elliptic curves E(n)∈ Qk(x) with Mordell-Weil ranks zero and 2-primary part of Shafarevich-Tate groups isomorphic to(Z/2Z)2. We also get a lower bound for the number of E(n)∈ Qk(x)with Mordell-Weil ranks zero and 2-primary part of Shafarevich-Tate groups isomorphic to(Z/2Z)4. The key ingredient of the proof of these results is an independence property of residue symbols. This property roughly says that the number of positive square-free integers n x with k prime factors and residue symbols(quadratic and quartic) among its prime factors being given compatible values does not depend on the actual values.     

On the hyperbolicity of flows

Let X be a C~1 vector field on a compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold M(dim M≥2),and A a compact invariant set of X.Suppose that A has a hyperbolic splitting,i.e.,T∧M = E~sX E~u with E~s uniformly contracting and E~u uniformly expanding.We prove that if,in addition,A is chain transitive,then the hyperbolic splitting is continuous,i.e.,A is a hyperbolic set.In general,when A is not necessarily chain transitive,the chain recurrent part is a hyperbolic set.Furthermore,we show that if the whole manifold M admits a hyperbolic splitting,then X has no singularity,and the flow is Anosov.     

Criterion for the Solvability of the Weighted Cauchy Problem for an Abstract Euler–Poisson–Darboux Equation

In a Banach space E, we consider the abstract Euler–Poisson–Darboux equation u″(t) + kt^?1u′(t) = Au(t) on the half-line. (Here k ∈ ? is a parameter, and A is a closed linear operator with dense domain on E.) We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the Cauchy problem u(0) = 0, lim _t→0+t ^k u′(t) = u₁, k < 0, for this equation. The condition is stated in terms of an estimate for the norms of the fractional power of the resolvent of A and its derivatives. We introduce the operator Bessel function with negative index and study its properties.
