Minimal rotational hypersurfaces in Minkowski (<Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>)-space

In Finsler geometry, minimal surfaces with respect to the Busemann-Hausdorff measure and the Holmes-Thompson measure are called BH-minimal and HT-minimal surfaces, respectively. In this paper, we give the explicit expressions of BH-minimal and HT-minimal rotational hypersurfaces generated by plane curves rotating around the axis in the direction of [(b)\tilde]^\sharp{\tilde{\beta}^{\sharp}} in Minkowski (α, β)-space (\mathbbVⁿ⁺¹,[(F_b)\tilde]){(\mathbb{V}^{n+1},\tilde{F_b})} , where \mathbbVⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{V}^{n+1}} is an (n+1)-dimensional real vector space, [(F_b)\tilde]=[(a)\tilde]f([(b)\tilde]/[(a)\tilde]), [(a)\tilde]{\tilde{F_b}=\tilde{\alpha}\phi(\tilde{\beta}/\tilde{\alpha}), \tilde{\alpha}} is the Euclidean metric, [(b)\tilde]{\tilde{\beta}} is a one form of constant length b:=||[(b)\tilde]||_[(a)\tilde], [(b)\tilde]^\sharp{b:=\|\tilde{\beta}\|_{\tilde{\alpha}}, \tilde{\beta}^{\sharp}} is the dual vector of [(b)\tilde]{\tilde{\beta}} with respect to [(a)\tilde]{\tilde{\alpha}} . As an application, we first give the explicit expressions of the forward complete BH-minimal rotational surfaces generated around the axis in the direction of [(b)\tilde]^\sharp{\tilde{\beta}^{\sharp}} in Minkowski Randers 3-space (\mathbbV³,[(a)\tilde]+[(b)\tilde]){(\mathbb{V}^{3},\tilde{\alpha}+\tilde{\beta})} .     

Entropy bounds and second cohomology

When X is a finite complex and p₁X\pi_{1}X acts on \mathbbR²{\mathbb{R}}^2 by translations we give criteria involving H²X for an equivariant map F : [(X)\tilde] ? \mathbbR²F : \tilde{X} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^2 to be onto. Following work of Manning and Shub, this leads to entropy bounds related to Shub’s entropy conjecture.     

On Li’s coefficients for the Rankin–Selberg <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

We define a generalized Li coefficient for the L-functions attached to the Rankin–Selberg convolution of two cuspidal unitary automorphic representations π and π ^′ of GL_m(\mathbbA_F)GL_{m}(\mathbb{A}_{F}) and GL_m^￠(\mathbbA_F)GL_{m^{\prime }}(\mathbb{A}_{F}) . Using the explicit formula, we obtain an arithmetic representation of the n th Li coefficient l_p,p^￠(n)\lambda _{\pi ,\pi ^{\prime }}(n) attached to L(s,p_f×[(p)\tilde]_f^￠)L(s,\pi _{f}\times \widetilde{\pi}_{f}^{\prime }) . Then, we deduce a full asymptotic expansion of the archimedean contribution to l_p,p^￠(n)\lambda _{\pi ,\pi ^{\prime }}(n) and investigate the contribution of the finite (non-archimedean) term. Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH) on non-trivial zeros of L(s,p_f×[(p)\tilde]_f^￠)L(s,\pi _{f}\times \widetilde{\pi}_{f}^{\prime }) , the nth Li coefficient l_p,p^￠(n)\lambda _{\pi ,\pi ^{\prime }}(n) is evaluated in a different way and it is shown that GRH implies the bound towards a generalized Ramanujan conjecture for the archimedean Langlands parameters μ _π (v,j) of π. Namely, we prove that under GRH for L(s,p_f×[(p)\tilde]_f)L(s,\pi _{f}\times \widetilde{\pi}_{f}) one has |Rem_p(v,j)| ￡ \frac14|\mathop {\mathrm {Re}}\mu_{\pi}(v,j)|\leq \frac{1}{4} for all archimedean places v at which π is unramified and all j=1,…,m.     

On the existence of a p-adic metaplectic Tate-type $\widetilde {\gamma}$-factor

Let \mathbbF\mathbb{F} be a p-adic field, let χ be a character of \mathbbF^*\mathbb{F}^{*}, let ψ be a character of \mathbbF\mathbb{F} and let g_y^-1\gamma_{\psi}^{-1} be the normalized Weil factor associated with a character of second degree. We prove here that one can define a meromorphic function [(g)\tilde](c,s,y)\widetilde{\gamma}(\chi ,s,\psi) via a similar functional equation to the one used for the definition of the Tate γ-factor replacing the role of the Fourier transform with an integration against y·g_y^-1\psi\cdot\gamma_{\psi}^{-1}. It turns out that γ and [(g)\tilde]\widetilde{\gamma} have similar integral representations. Furthermore, [(g)\tilde]\widetilde{\gamma} has a relation to Shahidi‘s metaplectic local coefficient which is similar to the relation γ has with (the non-metalpectic) Shahidi‘s local coefficient. Up to an exponential factor, [(g)\tilde](c,s,y)\widetilde{\gamma}(\chi,s,\psi) is equal to the ratio \fracg(c²,2s,y)g(c,s+\frac12,y)\frac{\gamma(\chi^{2},2s,\psi)}{\gamma(\chi,s+\frac{1}{2},\psi)}.     

Two-dimensional variational problems with a wide range of anisotropy

Triple Hilbert Transforms Along Polynomial Surfaces

Given W ì \mathbbZ₊³\Omega \subset {\mathbb{Z}}_{+}^{3}, we discuss a necessary and sufficient condition that the triple Hilbert transform associated with any polynomial of the form ($t_1, t_2, t_3,\sum_{m \in \Omega} a_{m} t^m$t_1, t_2, t_3,\sum_{m \in \Omega} a_{m} t^m) is bounded in L^p(\mathbbR⁴)L^p({\mathbb{R}}^4).     

New Besov-type spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces including Q spaces

Let ${s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}}Let s, t ? \mathbbR{s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}} and q ? (0,￥]{q\in(0,\infty]} . We introduce Besov-type spaces [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} for p ? (0, ￥]{p\in(0,\,\infty]} and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) for p ? (0, ￥){{{{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}\,{\rm for}\, p\in(0,\,\infty)} , which unify and generalize the Besov spaces, Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces. We then establish the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of these new spaces in the sense of Frazier and Jawerth. Using the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\, {\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} , we obtain their embedding and lifting properties; moreover, for appropriate τ, we also establish the smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\,{\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} . For s ? \mathbbR{s\in\mathbb{R}} , p ? (1, ￥), q ? [1, ￥){p\in(1,\,\infty), q\in[1,\,\infty)} and t ? [0, \frac1(max{p, q})￠]{\tau\in[0,\,\frac{1}{(\max\{p,\,q\})'}]} , via the Hausdorff capacity, we introduce certain Hardy–Hausdorff spaces B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} and prove that the dual space of B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} is just [(B)\dot]^-s, t_p￠, q￠(\mathbbRⁿ){\dot{B}^{-s,\,\tau}_{p',\,q'}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , where t′ denotes the conjugate index of t ? (1,￥){t\in (1,\infty)} .     

Solutions to Polynomial Generalized Bers–Vekua Equations in Clifford Analysis

In this paper, we mainly study polynomial generalized Vekua-type equation _boxclose)w=0{p(\mathcal{D})w=0} and polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation p(D)w=0{p(\mathcal{\underline{D}})w=0} defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} where D{\mathcal{D}} and D{\mathcal{\underline{D}}} mean generalized Vekua-type operator and generalized Bers–Vekua operator, respectively. Using Clifford algebra, we obtain the Fischer-type decomposition theorems for the solutions to these equations including (D-l)^kw=0,(D-l)^kw=0(k ? \mathbbN){\left(\mathcal{D}-\lambda\right)^{k}w=0,\left(\mathcal {\underline{D}}-\lambda\right)^{k}w=0\left(k\in\mathbb{N}\right)} with complex parameter λ as special cases, which derive the Almansi-type decomposition theorems for iterated generalized Bers–Vekua equation and polynomial generalized Cauchy–Riemann equation defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}. Making use of the decomposition theorems we give the solutions to polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} under some conditions. Furthermore we discuss inhomogeneous polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation p(D)w=v{p(\mathcal{\underline{D}})w=v} defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}, and develop the structure of the solutions to inhomogeneous polynomial generalized Bers–Vekua equation p(D)w=v{p(\mathcal{\underline{D}})w=v} defined in W ì \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}.     

Generalizations of Korn’s inequality based on gradient estimates in Orlicz spaces and applications to variational problems in 2D involving the trace free part of the symmetric gradient

We prove variants of Korn’s inequality involving the deviatoric part of the symmetric gradient of fields u:\mathbbR² é W? \mathbbR² u:{\mathbb{R}^2} \supset \Omega \to {\mathbb{R}^2} belonging to Orlicz–Sobolev classes. These inequalities are derived with the help of gradient estimates for the Poisson equation in Orlicz spaces. We apply these Korn type inequalities to variational integrals of the form

Holomorphic Extension Theorems in Lipschitz Domains of {\mathbb{C}}^{2}

Heat flows for a nonconvex Signorini type problem in $$ {\mathbb{R}^{N}} $$

We prove the existence of a global heat flow u : Ω ×  \mathbbR⁺ ? \mathbbR^N {\mathbb{R}^{+}} \to {\mathbb{R}^{N}}, N > 1, satisfying a Signorini type boundary condition u(∂Ω ×  \mathbbR⁺ {\mathbb{R}^{+}}) ⊂  \mathbbRⁿ {\mathbb{R}^{n}}), n \geqslant 2 n \geqslant 2 , and \mathbbR^N {\mathbb{R}^{N}}) with boundary ∂ [`(W)] \bar{\Omega } such that φ(∂Ω) ⊂ \mathbbR^N {\mathbb{R}^{N}} is given by a smooth noncompact hypersurface S.

Counting Ω-ideals

Let ${\mathbb{A}}Let \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} be a universal algebra of signature Ω, and let I{\mathcal{I}} be an ideal in the Boolean algebra P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} of all subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} . We say that I{\mathcal{I}} is an Ω-ideal if I{\mathcal{I}} contains all finite subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} and f(Aⁿ) ? I{f(A^{n}) \in \mathcal{I}} for every n-ary operation f ? W{f \in \Omega} and every A ? I{A \in \mathcal{I}} . We prove that there are 2^2à₀{2^{2^{\aleph_0}}} Ω-ideals in P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} provided that \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} is countably infinite and Ω is countable.     

A Volumetric Penrose Inequality for Conformally Flat Manifolds

We consider asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with non-negative scalar curvature that are conformal to \mathbbRⁿ\ W, n 3 3{\mathbb{R}^{n}{\setminus} \Omega, n\ge 3}, and so that their boundary is a minimal hypersurface. (Here, W ì \mathbbRⁿ{\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}} is open bounded with smooth mean-convex boundary.) We prove that the ADM mass of any such manifold is bounded below by \frac12(V/b_n)^(n-2)/n{\frac{1}{2}\left(V/\beta_{n}\right)^{(n-2)/n}}, where V is the Euclidean volume of Ω and β _n is the volume of the Euclidean unit n-ball. This gives a partial proof to a conjecture of Bray and Iga (Commun. Anal. Geom. 10:999–1016, 2002). Surprisingly, we do not require the boundary to be outermost.     

Isoperimetric estimates for the first eigenfunction of a class of linear elliptic problems

We find some optimal estimates for the first eigenfunction of a class of elliptic equations whose prototype is - ( gu_xi )_xi = lgu \textin W ì \mathbbRⁿ - {\left( {\gamma u_{{x_{i} }} } \right)}_{{x_{i} }} = \lambda \gamma u\,{\text{in}}\,\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n} with Dirichlet boundary condition, where γ is the normalized Gaussian function in \mathbbRⁿ \mathbb{R}^{n} . To this aim we make use of the Gaussian symmetrization which transforms a domain into an half-space with the same Gaussian measure. The main tools we use are the properties of the weighted rearrangements and in particular the isoperimetric inequality with respect to Gaussian measure.     

A topological version of the Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem with two fixed points

The main result of this paper gives a topological property satisfied by any homeomorphism of the annulus \mathbb A = \mathbb S¹ ×[-1, 1]{\mathbb {A} = \mathbb {S}^1 \times [-1, 1]} isotopic to the identity and with at most one fixed point. This generalizes the classical Poincaré-Birkhoff theorem because this property certainly does not hold for an area preserving homeomorphism h of \mathbb A{\mathbb {A}} with the usual boundary twist condition. We also have two corollaries of this result. The first one shows in particular that the boundary twist assumption may be weakened by demanding that the homeomorphism h has a lift H to the strip [(\mathbbA)\tilde] = \mathbbR ×[-1, 1]{\tilde{\mathbb{A}} = \mathbb{R} \times [-1, 1]} possessing both a forward orbit unbounded on the right and a forward orbit unbounded on the left. As a second corollary we get a new proof of a version of the Conley–Zehnder theorem in \mathbb A{\mathbb {A}} : if a homeomorphism of \mathbb A{\mathbb {A}} isotopic to the identity preserves the area and has mean rotation zero, then it possesses two fixed points.     

Boundedness of maximal,potential type,and singular integral operators in the generalized variable exponent Morrey type spaces

We consider generalized Morrey type spaces M^{p( ·),q( ·),w( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),\theta \left( \cdot \right),\omega \left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) with variable exponents p(x), θ(r) and a general function ω(x, r) defining a Morrey type norm. In the case of bounded sets W ì \mathbbRⁿ \Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^n} , we prove the boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator and Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators with standard kernel. We prove a Sobolev–Adams type embedding theorem M^{p( ·),q₁( ·),w₁( ·)}( W) ? M^{q( ·),q₂( ·),w₂( ·)}( W) {\mathcal{M}^{p\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_1}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_1}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) \to {\mathcal{M}^{q\left( \cdot \right),{\theta_2}\left( \cdot \right),{\omega_2}\left( \cdot \right)}}\left( \Omega \right) for the potential type operator I ^α(·) of variable order. In all the cases, we do not impose any monotonicity type conditions on ω(x, r) with respect to r. Bibliography: 40 titles.     

Absolutely convergent fourier series. An improvement of the Beurling-Helson theorem

We consider the space A(\mathbbT)A(\mathbb{T}) of all continuous functions f on the circle \mathbbT\mathbb{T} such that the sequence of Fourier coefficients [^(f)] = { [^(f)]( k ), k ? \mathbbZ }\hat f = \left\{ {\hat f\left( k \right), k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right\} belongs to l ¹(ℤ). The norm on A(\mathbbT)A(\mathbb{T}) is defined by || f ||_A(\mathbbT) = || [^(f)] ||_{l¹ (\mathbbZ)}\left\| f \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = \left\| {\hat f} \right\|_{l^1 (\mathbb{Z})}. According to the well-known Beurling-Helson theorem, if f:\mathbbT ? \mathbbT\phi :\mathbb{T} \to \mathbb{T} is a continuous mapping such that || e^inf ||_A(\mathbbT) = O(1)\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = O(1), n ∈ ℤ then φ is linear. It was conjectured by Kahane that the same conclusion about φ is true under the assumption that || e^inf ||_A(\mathbbT) = o( log| n | )\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\log \left| n \right|} \right). We show that if $\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\left( {{{\log \log \left| n \right|} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\log \log \left| n \right|} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right)^{1/12} } \right)$\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\left( {{{\log \log \left| n \right|} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\log \log \left| n \right|} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right)^{1/12} } \right), then φ is linear.
