On formulas for the index of the circular distributions

A circular distribution is a Galois equivariant map ψ from the roots of unity μ _∞ to an algebraic closure of such that ψ satisfies product conditions, for ϵ ∈ μ _∞ and , and congruence conditions for each prime number l and with (l, s) = 1, modulo primes over l for all , where μ _l and μ _s denote respectively the sets of lth and sth roots of unity. For such ψ, let be the group generated over by and let be , where U _s denotes the global units of . We give formulas for the indices and of and inside the circular numbers P _s and units C _s of Sinnott over .

Infinite-Time Quenching in a Fast Diffusion Equation with Strong Absorption

This work is concerned with the fast diffusion equation , where 0 < m < 1 and κ < 1. A global positive solution is said to quench regularly in infinite time if for some bounded sequence and some , and if for all compact . It is shown that such regular quenching in infinite time occurs for a large class of initial data if κ > m , whereas it is impossible in one space dimension when κ < −m and the solution is radially symmetric and nondecreasing for x > 0.      

Chains and antichains in partial orderings

We study the complexity of infinite chains and antichains in computable partial orderings. We show that there is a computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain but none that is or , and also obtain the analogous result for antichains. On the other hand, we show that every computable partial ordering which has an infinite chain must have an infinite chain that is the difference of two sets. Our main result is that there is a computably axiomatizable theory K of partial orderings such that K has a computable model with arbitrarily long finite chains but no computable model with an infinite chain. We also prove the corresponding result for antichains. Finally, we prove that if a computable partial ordering has the feature that for every , there is an infinite chain or antichain that is relative to , then we have uniform dichotomy: either for all copies of , there is an infinite chain that is relative to , or for all copies of , there is an infinite antichain that is relative to .

Pairs of numerically satisfactory solutions as for the three-term recurrence relations satisfied by the families of functions , , are given. It is proved that minimal solutions always exist, except when and z is in the positive or negative real axis, and that is minimal as whenever . The minimal solution is identified for any recurrence direction, that is, for any integer values of and . When the confluent limit , with fixed, is the main tool for identifying minimal solutions together with a connection formula; for , is the main tool to be considered.     

A priori bounds and a Liouville theorem on a half-space for higher-order elliptic Dirichlet problems

We consider the 2m-th order elliptic boundary value problem Lu = f (x, u) on a bounded smooth domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions on ∂Ω. The operator L is a uniformly elliptic operator of order 2m given by . For the nonlinearity we assume that , where are positive functions and q > 1 if N ≤ 2m, if N > 2m. We prove a priori bounds, i.e, we show that for every solution u, where C > 0 is a constant. The solutions are allowed to be sign-changing. The proof is done by a blow-up argument which relies on the following new Liouville-type theorem on a half-space: if u is a classical, bounded, non-negative solution of ( − Δ) ^m u  =  u ^q in with Dirichlet boundary conditions on and q > 1 if N ≤ 2m, if N > 2m then .

Deep matrix algebras based on a set over a ring are introduced and studied by McCrimmon when has infinite cardinality. Here, we construct a new -module that is faithful for of any cardinality. For a field of arbitrary characteristic and , is studied in depth. The algebra is shown to possess a unique proper non-zero ideal, isomorphic to . This leads to a new and interesting simple algebra, , the quotient of by its unique ideal. Both and the quotient algebra are shown to have centers isomorphic to . Via the new faithful representation, all automorphisms of are shown to be inner in the sense of Definition 18.Presented by D. Passman.     

The Kostant–García quantization of the bundle of connections

We shall call quantum states of a principal bundle π : P → M with structure group a semi-simple Lie group G, the elements of certain space of sections of the adjoint bundle , associated to the G-bundle of connections . An inner product of sections of is defined for which is a Hilbert space such that the Gauge group gau(P) of the given bundle represents in a family of self-adjoint operators. This work crystallizes some heuristic considerations, on the unitary representations of Gauge algebras, of Garcia in the already a classical article (J. Differ. Geom. 12, 209–227, 1977).

Via an integral transformation, we establish two embedding results between the Emden-Fowler type equation , t ≥ t ₀ > 0, with solutions x such that as , , and the equation , u > 0, with solutions y such that for given k > 0. The conclusions of our investigation are used to derive conditions for the existence of radial solutions to the elliptic equation , , that blow up as in the two dimensional case.

Codes defined by forms of degree 2 on non-degenerate Hermitian varieties in $${\mathbb{P}^{4}(\mathbb{F}_q)}$$

We study the functional codes of second order on a non-degenerate Hermitian variety as defined by G. Lachaud. We provide the best possible bounds for the number of points of quadratic sections of . We list the first five weights, describe the corresponding codewords and compute their number. The paper ends with two conjectures. The first is about minimum distance of the functional codes of order h on a non-singular Hermitian variety . The second is about distribution of the codewords of first five weights of the functional codes of second order on a non-singular Hermitian variety .

By sampling the window of a Gabor frame for belonging to Feichtinger’s algebra, , one obtains a Gabor frame for . In this article we present a survey of results by R. Orr and A.J.E.M. Janssen and extend their ideas to cover interrelations among Gabor frames for the four spaces , , and . Some new results about general dual windows with respect to sampling and periodization are presented as well. This theory is used to show a new result of the Kaiblinger type to construct an approximation to the canonical dual window of a Gabor frame for .

A Marstrand theorem for measures with polytope density

Given and any centrally symmetric convex polytope , define we prove that if a Radon measure μ has the property then s is an integer. For the case Θ is the Euclidean ball, this result was first proved by Marstrand in 1955 for Hausdorff measure in the plane (Marstrand in Proc Lond Math Soc 3(4):257–302, 1954) and later for general Radon measures in (Marstrand in Trans Am Math Soc 205:369–392, 1964).     

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].
