<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-fold Fourier series expansion in root functions of a differential pencil with <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-fold multiple characteristic

On a finite interval, we consider a parametric differential pencil of the singular irregular type with an n-fold multiple characteristic and with boundary conditions all of which except for the last are posed at the left end of the interval. We solve the problem on the n-fold expansion of n arbitrary functions in series in Keldysh derived chains of eigenfunctions and associated functions (root functions) of the pencil.     

Eigenvalues of the Manifold Sp（n）/U（n）

In this paper, we give the eigenvalues of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n). We prove that an eigenvalue λ _s (f ₂, f ₂, …, f _n ) of the Lie group Sp(n), corresponding to the representation with label (f ₁, f ₂, ..., f _n ), is an eigenvalue of the manifold Sp(n)/U(n), if and only if f ₁, f ₂, …, f _n are all even.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Abelian and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-exact categories

We introduce n-abelian and n-exact categories, these are analogs of abelian and exact categories from the point of view of higher homological algebra. We show that n-cluster-tilting subcategories of abelian (resp. exact) categories are n-abelian (resp. n-exact). These results allow to construct several examples of n-abelian and n-exact categories. Conversely, we prove that n-abelian categories satisfying certain mild assumptions can be realized as n-cluster-tilting subcategories of abelian categories. In analogy with a classical result of Happel, we show that the stable category of a Frobenius n-exact category has a natural \((n+2)\)-angulated structure in the sense of Geiß–Keller–Oppermann. We give several examples of n-abelian and n-exact categories which have appeared in representation theory, commutative algebra, commutative and non-commutative algebraic geometry.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Flat and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-FP-injective modules

In this paper, we study the existence of the n-flat preenvelope and the n-FP-injective cover. We also characterize n-coherent rings in terms of the n-FP-injective and n-flat modules.     

On the directions problem in <Emphasis Type="Italic">AG</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>)

We prove that if q = p ^h , p a prime, do not exist sets U í AG(n,q){U {\subseteq} AG(n,q)}, with |U| = q ^k and 1 < k < n, determining N directions where

Continuous <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-symmetric distributions

For p > 0, the l _n,p -generalized surface measure on the l _n,p -unit sphere is studied and used for deriving a geometric measure representation for l _n,p -symmetric distributions having a density.     

On (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>)-semigroups

We generalize Green’s lemma and Green’s theorem for usual binary semigroups to (n,m)-semigroups, define and describe the regularity for an element of an (n,m)-semigroup, give some criteria for an element of an (n,m)-semigroup to be invertible, and further apply the invertibility for (n,m)-semigroups to (n,m)-groups and give some equivalent characterizations for (n,m)-groups. We establish Hosszú-Gluskin theorems for (n,m)-semigroups in two cases, as generalizations of the corresponding theorems for n-groups.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">CEP</Emphasis>-subgroups of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-periodic products

There is a well-known fact, that any group G ₁ is a CEP-subgroup both for the direct product G ₁ × G ₂ and the free productG ₁ * G ₂ of G ₁ with any group G ₂. The paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition providing that a multiplier G _i of a n-periodic product Π _i∈I ⁿ G _i of any family of groups {G _i } _i∈I is a CEP-subgroup. Particularly, the found criterionmeans that any group G ₁ of odd period n ≥ 665 is a CEP-subgroup of the n-periodic product Π _i∈I ⁿ G _i for any group G ₂.     

On a new property of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-poised and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> sets

In this paper we consider n-poised planar node sets, as well as more special ones, called G C _n sets. For the latter sets each n-fundamental polynomial is a product of n linear factors as it always holds in the univariate case. A line ? is called k-node line for a node set \(\mathcal X\) if it passes through exactly k nodes. An (n + 1)-node line is called maximal line. In 1982 M. Gasca and J. I. Maeztu conjectured that every G C _n set possesses necessarily a maximal line. Till now the conjecture is confirmed to be true for n ≤ 5. It is well-known that any maximal line M of \(\mathcal X\) is used by each node in \(\mathcal X\setminus M, \)meaning that it is a factor of the fundamental polynomial. In this paper we prove, in particular, that if the Gasca-Maeztu conjecture is true then any n-node line of G C _n set \(\mathcal {X}\) is used either by exactly \(\binom {n}{2}\) nodes or by exactly \(\binom {n-1}{2}\) nodes. We prove also similar statements concerning n-node or (n ? 1)-node lines in more general n-poised sets. This is a new phenomenon in n-poised and G C _n sets. At the end we present a conjecture concerning any k-node line.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Central Semigroups

A semigroup S is said to be n-central if xⁿ belongs to the center of S for every x S. We prove that every n-central semigroup is a semilattice of archimedean n-central semigroups. We obtain characterizations of simple (0-simple) n-central semigroups and describe subdirectly irreducible n-central semigroups. We also deal with the connection of n-central semigroups and E-k semigroups.     

Groups with less than <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> subgroups of index <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>

We characterise (residually-finite) groups which possess less than n subgroups of index n for almost all n ∈ ℕ.     

Cyclotomic Hecke Algebras of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)

In this note, we find a monomial basis of the cyclotomic Hecke algebra \({\mathcal{H}_{r,p,n}}\) of G(r,p,n) and show that the Ariki-Koike algebra \({\mathcal{H}_{r,n}}\) is a free module over \({\mathcal{H}_{r,p,n}}\), using the Gröbner-Shirshov basis theory. For each irreducible representation of \({\mathcal{H}_{r,p,n}}\), we give a polynomial basis consisting of linear combinations of the monomials corresponding to cozy tableaux of a given shape.     

Mappings of preserving <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-distance one in <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-normed spaces

We give a positive answer to the Aleksandrov problem in n-normed spaces under the surjectivity assumption. Namely, we show that every surjective mapping preserving n-distance one is affine, and thus is an n-isometry. This is the first time the Aleksandrov problem is solved in n-normed spaces with only the surjectivity assumption even in the usual case \(n=2\). Finally, when the target space is n-strictly convex, we prove that every mapping preserving two n-distances with an integer ratio is an affine n-isometry.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-simplicity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-periodic products

The C*-simplicity of n-periodic products is proved for a large class of groups. In particular, the n-periodic products of any finite or cyclic groups (including the free Burnside groups) are C*-simple. Continuum-many nonisomorphic 3-generated nonsimple C*-simple groups are constructed in each of which the identity xⁿ = 1 holds, where n ≥ 1003 is any odd number. The problem of the existence of C*-simple groups without free subgroups of rank 2 was posed by de la Harpe in 2007.     

Exponentially Many Monochromatic <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Matchings in <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript>3<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-1</Subscript>

Erdös et al and Gerencsér et al had shown that in any 2-edge-coloring of K _3n-1, there is a n-matching containing edges with the same color(we call such matching monochromatic matching). In this paper we show that for any 2-edge-coloring of K _3n-1 there exists a monochromatic subgraph H of K _3n-1 which contains exponentially many monochromatic n-matchings.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-cubic Pyramid Algebras

In this paper we study a class of algebras having n-dimensional pyramid shaped quiver with n-cubic cells, which we called n-cubic pyramid algebras. This class of algebras includes the quadratic dual of the basic n-Auslander absolutely n-complete algebras introduced by Iyama. We show that the projective resolutions of the simples of n-cubic pyramid algebras can be characterized by n-cuboids, and prove that they are periodic. So these algebras are almost Koszul and (n?1)-translation algebras. We also recover Iyama’s cone construction for n-Auslander absolutely n-complete algebras using n-cubic pyramid algebras and the theory of n-translation algebras.     

Finite time blowup of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-harmonic flow on <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-manifolds

In this paper, we generalize the no-neck result of Qing and Tian (in Commun Pure Appl Math 50:295–310, 1997) to show that there is no neck during blowing up for the n-harmonic flow as \(t\rightarrow \infty \). As an application of the no-neck result, we settle a conjecture of Hungerbühler (in Ann Scuola Norm Sup Pisa Cl Sci 4:593–631, 1997) by constructing an example to show that the n-harmonic map flow on an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold blows up in finite time for \(n\ge 3\).     

Facets of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>-Stable (<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>)-Hypersimplex

Let k, n, and r be positive integers with k < n and \({r \leq \lfloor \frac{n}{k} \rfloor}\). We determine the facets of the r-stable n, k-hypersimplex. As a result, it turns out that the r-stable n, k-hypersimplex has exactly 2n facets for every \({r < \lfloor \frac{n}{k} \rfloor}\). We then utilize the equations of the facets to study when the r-stable hypersimplex is Gorenstein. For every k > 0 we identify an infinite collection of Gorenstein r-stable hypersimplices, consequently expanding the collection of r-stable hypersimplices known to have unimodal Ehrhart \({\delta}\)-vectors.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-fuzzy roughness of <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-ary polygroups

In this paper, we consider the relations among L-fuzzy sets, rough sets and n-ary polygroup theory. Some properties of (normal) TL-fuzzy n-ary subpolygroups of an n-ary polygroup are first obtained. Using the concept of L-fuzzy sets, the notion of ϑ-lower and T-upper L-fuzzy rough approximation operators with respect to an L-fuzzy set is introduced and some related properties are presented. Then a new algebraic structure called (normal) TL-fuzzy rough n-ary polygroup is defined and investigated. Also, the (strong) homomorphism of ϑ-lower and T-upper L-fuzzy rough approximation operators is studied.     

Cocyclic <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-groups

We describe all cocyclic n-groups and the structure of (n, 2)-rings of endomorphisms of cocyclic n-groups. We prove that a cocyclic n-group is defined uniquely by its (n, 2)-ring of endomorphisms.
