Layers and spikes in non-homogeneous bistable reaction-diffusion equations

We study , where , , and is sufficiently small, on an interval with boundary conditions at . All solutions with an independent number of oscillations are analyzed. Existence of complicated patterns of layers and spikes is proved, and their Morse index is determined. It is observed that the results extend to with and also to an infinite interval.

     

The fourth power moment of automorphic -functions for over a short interval

In this paper we will prove bounds for the fourth power moment in the aspect over a short interval of automorphic -functions for on the central critical line Re. Here is a fixed holomorphic or Maass Hecke eigenform for the modular group , or in certain cases, for the Hecke congruence subgroup with . The short interval is from a large to . The proof is based on an estimate in the proof of subconvexity bounds for Rankin-Selberg -function for Maass forms by Jianya Liu and Yangbo Ye (2002) and Yuk-Kam Lau, Jianya Liu, and Yangbo Ye (2004), which in turn relies on the Kuznetsov formula (1981) and bounds for shifted convolution sums of Fourier coefficients of a cusp form proved by Sarnak (2001) and by Lau, Liu, and Ye (2004).

     

Koszul duality and equivalences of categories

Let and be dual Koszul algebras. By Positselski a filtered algebra with gr is Koszul dual to a differential graded algebra . We relate the module categories of this dual pair by a Hom adjunction. This descends to give an equivalence of suitable quotient categories and generalizes work of Beilinson, Ginzburg, and Soergel.

We study higher syzygies of a ruled surface over a curve of genus with the numerical invariant . Let    Pic be a line bundle in the numerical class of . We prove that for , satisfies property if and , and for , satisfies property if and . By using these facts, we obtain Mukai-type results. For ample line bundles , we show that satisfies property when and or when and . Therefore we prove Mukai's conjecture for ruled surface with . We also prove that when is an elliptic ruled surface with , satisfies property if and only if and .

     

Algebra of dimension theory

The dimension algebra of graded groups is introduced. With the help of known geometric results of extension theory, this algebra induces all known results of the cohomological dimension theory. Elements of the algebra are equivalence classes of graded groups . There are two geometric interpretations of these equivalence classes: 1) For pointed CW complexes and , if and only if the infinite symmetric products and are of the same extension type (i.e., iff for all compact ). 2) For pointed compact spaces and , if and only if and are of the same dimension type (i.e., for all Abelian groups ).

Dranishnikov's version of the Hurewicz Theorem in extension theory becomes for all simply connected .

The concept of cohomological dimension of a pointed compact space with respect to a graded group is introduced. It turns out iff for all . If and are two positive graded groups, then if and only if for all compact .

     

Resolutions for metrizable compacta in extension theory

We prove a -resolution theorem for simply connected CW- complexes in extension theory in the class of metrizable compacta . This means that if is a connected CW-complex, is an abelian group, , , for , and (in the sense of extension theory, that is, is an absolute extensor for ), then there exists a metrizable compactum and a surjective map such that:

(a) is -acyclic,

(b) , and

(c) .

This implies the -resolution theorem for arbitrary abelian groups for cohomological dimension when . Thus, in case is an Eilenberg-MacLane complex of type , then (c) becomes .

If in addition , then (a) can be replaced by the stronger statement,

(aa) is -acyclic.

To say that a map is -acyclic means that for each , every map of the fiber to is nullhomotopic.

An example is given with yet for infinitely many .

     

Open loci of graded modules

Let be an excellent homogeneous Noetherian graded ring and let be a finitely generated graded -module. We consider as a module over and show that the -loci of are open in . In particular, the Cohen-Macaulay locus    is Cohen-Macaulay is an open subset of . We also show that the -loci on the homogeneous parts of are eventually stable. As an application we obtain that for a finitely generated Cohen-Macaulay module over an excellent ring and for an ideal which is not contained in any minimal prime of , the -loci for the modules are eventually stable.

     

-manifolds with planar presentations and the width of satellite knots

We consider compact -manifolds having a submersion to in which each generic point inverse is a planar surface. The standard height function on a submanifold of is a motivating example. To we associate a connectivity graph . For , is a tree if and only if there is a Fox reimbedding of which carries horizontal circles to a complete collection of complementary meridian circles. On the other hand, if the connectivity graph of is a tree, then there is a level-preserving reimbedding of so that is a connected sum of handlebodies.

Corollary.

The width of a satellite knot is no less than the width of its pattern knot and so

Let denote the repartition of the -level correlation measure of the finite set of directions , where is the fixed point and is an integer lattice point in the square . We show that the average of the pair correlation repartition over in a fixed disc converges as . More precisely we prove, for every and , the estimate

We also prove that for each individual point , the -level correlation diverges at any point as , and we give an explicit lower bound for the rate of divergence.

     

Maximal theorems for the directional Hilbert transform on the plane

For a Schwartz function on the plane and a non-zero define the Hilbert transform of in the direction to be

p.v.

Let be a Schwartz function with frequency support in the annulus , and . We prove that the maximal operator maps into weak , and into for . The estimate is sharp. The method of proof is based upon techniques related to the pointwise convergence of Fourier series. Indeed, our main theorem implies this result on Fourier series.

     

Invariance in and

The result builds on the isomorphism machinery, and allows us to transfer invariant classes from to , though not, in general, orbits. Further properties of and ramifications of the isomorphism are explored, including degrees of equivalence classes and degree invariance.

     

The braid index is not additive for the connected sum of 2-knots

Any -dimensional knot can be presented in a braid form, and its braid index, , is defined. For the connected sum of -knots and , it is easily seen that holds. Birman and Menasco proved that the braid index (minus one) is additive for the connected sum of -dimensional knots; the equality holds for -knots. We prove that the equality does not hold for -knots unless or is a trivial -knot. We also prove that the -knot obtained from a granny knot by Artin's spinning is of braid index , and there are infinitely many -knots of braid index .

     

Algebraic Goodwillie calculus and a cotriple model for the remainder

Goodwillie has defined a tower of approximations for a functor from spaces to spaces that is analogous to the Taylor series of a function. His order approximation at a space depends on the values of on coproducts of large suspensions of the space: .

We define an ``algebraic' version of the Goodwillie tower, , that depends only on the behavior of on coproducts of . When is a functor to connected spaces or grouplike -spaces, the functor is the base of a fibration

whose fiber is the simplicial space associated to a cotriple built from the cross effect of the functor . In a range in which commutes with realizations (for instance, when is the identity functor of spaces), the algebraic Goodwillie tower agrees with the ordinary (topological) Goodwillie tower, so this theory gives a way of studying the Goodwillie approximation to a functor in many interesting cases.

     

On the number of radially symmetric solutions to Dirichlet problems with jumping nonlinearities of superlinear order

This paper is concerned with the multiplicity of radially symmetric solutions to the Dirichlet problem

on the unit ball with boundary condition on . Here is a positive function and is a function that is superlinear (but of subcritical growth) for large positive , while for large negative we have that , where is the smallest positive eigenvalue for in with on . It is shown that, given any integer , the value may be chosen so large that there are solutions with or less interior nodes. Existence of positive solutions is excluded for large enough values of .

     

Maximal families of Gorenstein algebras

The purpose of this paper is to study maximal irreducible families of Gorenstein quotients of a polynomial ring . Let be the scheme parametrizing graded quotients of with Hilbert function . We prove there is a close relationship between the irreducible components of , whose general member is a Gorenstein codimension quotient, and the irreducible components of , whose general member is a codimension Cohen-Macaulay algebra of Hilbert function related to . If the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the Gorenstein quotient is large compared to the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of , this relationship actually determines a well-defined injective mapping from such ``Cohen-Macaulay' components of to ``Gorenstein' components of , in which generically smooth components correspond. Moreover the dimension of the ``Gorenstein' components is computed in terms of the dimension of the corresponding ``Cohen-Macaulay' component and a sum of two invariants of . Using linkage by a complete intersection we show how to compute these invariants. Linkage also turns out to be quite effective in verifying the assumptions which appear in a generalization of the main theorem.

The method used to define these spaces is new even for the classical case. As applications, the lifting properties of these spaces by using the Riesz potential operators and the dual spaces are obtained.

Let be a lattice with and . An endomorphism of is a -endomorphism, if it satisfies and . The -endomorphisms of form a monoid. In 1970, the authors proved that every monoid can be represented as the -endomorphism monoid of a suitable lattice with and . In this paper, we prove the stronger result that the lattice with a given -endomorphism monoid can be constructed as a uniquely complemented lattice; moreover, if is finite, then can be chosen as a finite complemented lattice.
