Fibrations and stability for compact group actions on manifolds with local bounded Ricci covering geometry

In the study of the collapsed manifolds with bounded sectional curvature,the following two results provide basic tools:a(singular)fibration theorem by K.Fukaya[J.Differential Gcom.,1987.25(1):139156]and J.Cheeger,K.Fukaya,and M.Gromov[J.Airier.Math.Soc.,1992.5(2):327372],and the stability for isometric compact Lie group actions on manifolds by R.S.Palais[Bull.Amer.Math.Soc.,1961,67(4):362364]and K.Grove and H.Karcher[Math.Z..1973,132:1120].The main results in this paper(partially)generalize the two results to manifolds with local bounded Ricci covering geometry.     

On the Representations of a Number as the Sum of Four Fifth Powers

It is known from Vaughan and Wooley's work on Waring's problemthat every sufficiently large natural number is the sum of atmost 17 fifth powers [13]. It is also known that at least sixfifth powers are required to be able to express every sufficientlylarge natural number as a sum of fifth powers (see, for instance,[5, Theorem 394]). The techniques of [13] allow one to showthat almost all natural numbers are the sum of nine fifth powers.A problem of related interest is to obtain an upper bound forthe number of representations of a number as a sum of a fixednumber of powers. Let R(n) denote the number of representationsof the natural number n as a sum of four fifth powers. In thispaper, we establish a non-trivial upper bound for R(n), whichis expressed in the following theorem.     

Properties of core-EP order in rings with involution

We study properties of a relation in *-rings, called the core-EP (pre)order which was introduced by H. Wang on the set of all n × n complex matrices [Linear Algebra Appl., 2016, 508: 289–300] and has been recently generalized by Y. Gao, J. Chen, and Y. Ke to *-rings [Filomat, 2018, 32: 3073–3085]. We present new characterizations of the core-EP order in *-rings with identity and introduce the notions of the dual core-EP decomposition and the dual core-EP order in-rings.     

The spin $^{\bf c}$ Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle

We study the asymptotic of the spectrum of the Dirac operator on high tensor powers of a line bundle. As application, we get a simple proof of the main result of Guillemin–Uribe [13, Theorem 2], which was originally proved by using the analysis of Toeplitz operators of Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin [10].

Remark on Gauss curvature equations on punctured disk

We give a new argument on the classification of solutions of Gauss curvature equation on R²; which was first proved by W. Chen and C. Li [Duke Math. J., 1991, 63(3): 615–622]. Our argument bases on the decomposition properties of the Gauss curvature equation on the punctured disk.     

Asymptotic stability of solitons to 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equations in subcritical case

We prove the asymptotic stability of solitary waves to 1D nonlinear Schrödinger equations in the subcritical case with symmetry and spectrum assumptions. One of the main ideas is to use the vector fields method developed by S. Cuccagna, V. Georgiev, and N. Visciglia [Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 2013, 6: 957–980] to overcome the weak decay with respect to t of the linearized equation caused by the one dimension setting and the weak nonlinearity caused by the subcritical growth of the nonlinearity term. Meanwhile, we apply the polynomial growth of the high Sobolev norms of solutions to 1D Schrödinger equations obtained by G. Staffilani [Duke Math. J., 1997, 86(1): 109–142] to control the high moments of the solutions emerging from the vector fields method.     

Distinguishing Cartesian powers of graphs

The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph is the least integer d such that there is a d‐labeling of the vertices of G that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of G. We show that the distinguishing number of the square and higher powers of a connected graph G ≠ K₂, K₃ with respect to the Cartesian product is 2. This result strengthens results of Albertson [Electron J Combin, 12 ( 1 ), #N17] on powers of prime graphs, and results of Klav?ar and Zhu [Eu J Combin, to appear]. More generally, we also prove that d(G □ H) = 2 if G and H are relatively prime and |H| ≤ |G| < 2^|H| ? |H|. Under additional conditions similar results hold for powers of graphs with respect to the strong and the direct product. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 53: 250–260, 2006     

On the theorem on asymptotic equidistribution of the convolution powers of symmetric measures on a unimodular group

The theorem on the asymptotic equidistribution of the convolution powers of a symmetric probability measure given on a unimodular group [1] deals with a measure whose convolution powers, starting from one of them, load an arbitrary prescribed nonempty subset of the group. In the present note, we indicate the modifications that arise under the replacement of the above condition by the requirement that the smallest closed subgroup (of the group considered) generated by the support of this measure coincide with the group itself.

On Integrability of the Camassa–Holm Equation and Its Invariants

Using geometrical approach exposed in (Kersten et al. in J. Geom. Phys. 50:273–302, [2004] and Acta Appl. Math. 90:143–178, [2005]), we explore the Camassa–Holm equation (both in its initial scalar form, and in the form of 2×2-system). We describe Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, recursion operators and infinite series of symmetries and conservation laws (local and nonlocal).

Comments on Global convergence of the method of shortest residuals by Y. Dai and Y. Yuan

Summary. We show that the example given in [Dai, Y., Yuan, Y. (1999): Global convergence of the method of shortest residuals, Numerische Mathematik 83, 581–598] does not contradict the results of [Pytlak, R. (1994): On the convergence of conjugate gradient algorithms, IMA J. Numerical Analysis 14, 443–460].

Sharp bounds for spectral radius of nonnegative weakly irreducible tensors

We obtain the sharp upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of a nonnegative weakly irreducible tensor. By using the technique of the representation associate matrix of a tensor and the associate directed graph of the matrix, the equality cases of the bounds are completely characterized by graph theory methods. Applying these bounds to a nonnegative irreducible matrix or a connected graph (digraph), we can improve the results of L. H. You, Y. J. Shu, and P. Z. Yuan [Linear Multilinear Algebra, 2017, 65(1): 113–128], and obtain some new or known results. Applying these bounds to a uniform hypergraph, we obtain some new results and improve some known results of X. Y. Yuan, M. Zhang, and M. Lu [Linear Algebra Appl., 2015, 484: 540–549]. Finally, we give a characterization of a strongly connected k-uniform directed hypergraph, and obtain some new results by applying these bounds to a uniform directed hypergraph.     

OD-Characterization of all simple groups whose orders are less than 10

Let M be a simple group whose order is less than 10⁸. In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite group with the same order and degree pattern as M, then the following statements hold: (a) If M ≠ A₁₀, U₄(2), then G ≅ M; (b) If M = A₁₀, then G ≅ A₁₀ or J₂ × Z₃; (c) If M = U₄(2), then G is isomorphic to a 2-Frobenius group or U₄(2). In particular, all simple groups whose orders are less than 10⁸ but A₁₀ and U₄(2) are OD-characterizable. As a consequence of this result, we can give a positive answer to a conjecture put forward by W. J. Shi and J. X. Bi in 1990 [Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Vol. 1456, 171–180].

A smoothed GPY sieve

Combining the arguments developed in the works of D. A. Goldston,S. W. Graham, J. Pintz, and C. Y. Yildirim [Preprint, 2005,arXiv: math.NT/506067] and Y. Motohashi [Number theory in progress– A. Schinzel Festschrift (de Gruyter, 1999) 1053–1064]we introduce a smoothing device to the sieve procedure of Goldston,Pintz, and Yildirim (see [Proc. Japan Acad. 82A (2006) 61–65]for its simplified version). Our assertions embodied in Lemmas3 and 4 of this article imply that a natural extension of aprime number theorem of E. Bombieri, J. B. Friedlander, andH. Iwaniec [Theorem 8 in Acta Math. 156 (1986) 203–251]should give rise infinitely often to bounded differences betweenprimes, that is, a weaker form of the twin prime conjecture.     

Complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we investigate the complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures in an anti-de Sitter space. We give a characterization of hyperbolic cylinder and prove the conjecture in a paper by L. F. Cao and G. X. Wei [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 2007, 329(1): 408–414].     

Conformally invariant powers of the Dirac operator in Clifford analysis

The paper deals with conformally invariant higher‐order operators acting on spinor‐valued functions, such that their symbols are given by powers of the Dirac operator. A general classification result proves that these are unique, up to a constant multiple. A general construction for such an invariant operators on manifolds with a given conformal spin structure was described in (Conformally Invariant Powers of the Ambient Dirac Operator. ArXiv math.DG/0112033, preprint), generalizing the case of powers of the Laplace operator from (J. London Math. Soc. 1992; 46 :557–565). Although there is no hope to obtain explicit formulae for higher powers of the Laplace or Dirac operator on a general manifold, it is possible to write down an explicit formula on Einstein manifolds in case of the Laplace operator (see Laplacian Operators and Curvature on Conformally Einstein Manifolds. ArXiv: math/0506037, 2006). Here we shall treat the spinor case on the sphere. We shall compute the explicit form of such operators on the sphere, and we shall show that they coincide with operators studied in (J. Four. Anal. Appl. 2002; 8 (6):535–563). The methods used are coming from representation theory combined with traditional Clifford analysis techniques. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

CLT for linear random fields with stationary martingale-difference innovation

In [V. Paulauskas, On Beveridge–Nelson decomposition and limit theorems for linear random fields, J. Multivariate Anal., 101:621–639, 2010], limit theorems for linear random fields generated by independent identically distributed innovations were proved. In this paper, we present the central limit theorem for linear random fields with martingale-differences innovations satisfying the central limit theorem from [J. Dedecker, A central limit theorem for stationary random fields, Probab. Theory Relat. Fields, 110(3):397–426, 1998] and arranged in lexicographical order.     

Families of Okamoto–Painlevé pairs and Painlevé equations

In [as reported by Saito et al. (J. Algebraic Geom. 11:311–362, 2002)], generalized Okamoto–Painlevé pairs are introduced as a generalization of Okamoto’s space of initial conditions of Painlevé equations (cf. [Okamoto (Jpn. J. Math. 5:1–79, 1979)]) and we established a way to derive differential equations from generalized rational Okamoto–Painlevé pairs through deformation theory of nonsingular pairs. In this article, we apply the method to concrete families of generalized rational Okamoto–Painlevé pairs with given affine coordinate systems and for all eight types of such Okamoto–Painlvé pairs we write down Painlevé equations in the coordinate systems explicitly. Moreover, except for a few cases, Hamitonians associated to these Painlevé equations are also given in all coordinate charts. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 34M55, 32G05, 14J26     

Foliations, associated reductions and lower and upper solutions

In this work, we answer by the affirmative the question of J. Mawhin [14] whether the boundary value problem has a solution, provided the nonlinearity is asymptotically linear, satisfy a nonresonance condition to the left of the eigenvalue (see condition (2)) as well as an Ahmad–Lazer–Paul condition to the right of the eigenvalue 0 (see condition (3)). More generally, we generalize condition (2) considering the relation with the Fučík spectrum. Our approach is mixed as it combines variational reduction arguments and lower and upper solutions method in that miming [20.21]. In our opinion this approach is of independent interest, since we believe it is applicable in a number of different situations. The idea of this mixed approach can be resumed in the following way: a real function of a single real variable is associated to the functional J which describes some of its more relevant features and a pair of lower and upper solutions can be found in case is non-monotone. This is done without reference to any kind of Palais-Smale condition. Received: 27 October 2000 / Accepted: 11 May 2001 / Published online: 19 October 2001
