The Cauchy problem for a generalized Camassa–Holm equation

In this paper, we are concerned with the Cauchy problem of the generalized Camassa–Holm equation. Using a Galerkin-type approximation scheme, it is shown that this equation is well-posed in Sobolev spaces $H^s$, $s>3/2$ for both the periodic and the nonperiodic case in the sense of Hadamard. That is, the data-to-solution map is continuous. Furthermore, it is proved that this dependence is sharp by showing that the solution map is not uniformly continuous. The nonuniform dependence is proved using the method of approximate solutions and well-posedness estimates. Moreover, it is shown that the solution map for the generalized Camassa–Holm equation is Hölder continuous in $H^r$-topology. Finally, with analytic initial data, we show that its solutions are analytic in both variables, globally in space and locally in time.     

Global existence and time decay of the non-cutoff Boltzmann equation with hard potential

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem on the Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff assumption for hard potential in the whole space. When the initial data is a small perturbation of a global Maxwellian, the global existence of solution to this problem is proved in unweighted Sobolev spaces $H^N\left({\mathbb{R}}_{x,v}^6\right)$ with $N\ge 2$. But if we want to obtain the optimal temporal decay estimates, we need to add the velocity weight function, in this case the global existence and the optimal temporal decay estimate of the Boltzmann equation are all established. Meanwhile, we further gain a more accurate energy estimate, which can guarantee the validity of the assumption in Chen et al. (0000).     

Signed graphs and the freeness of the Weyl subarrangements of type Bℓ

A Weyl arrangement is the hyperplane arrangement defined by a root system. Saito proved that every Weyl arrangement is free. The Weyl subarrangements of type $A_{\ell }$ are represented by simple graphs. Stanley gave a characterization of freeness for this type of arrangements in terms of their graph. In addition, the Weyl subarrangements of type $B_{\ell }$ can be represented by signed graphs. A characterization of freeness for them is not known. However, characterizations of freeness for a few restricted classes are known. For instance, Edelman and Reiner characterized the freeness of the arrangements between type $A_{\ell -1}$ and type $B_{\ell }$. In this paper, we give a characterization of the freeness and supersolvability of the Weyl subarrangements of type $B_{\ell }$ under certain assumption.     

Lp Sobolev regularity of averaging operators over hypersurfaces and the Newton polyhedron

$L^p$ to $L_{\beta }^p$ boundedness results are proven for translation invariant averaging operators over hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. The operators can either be Radon transforms or averaging operators with multiparameter fractional integral kernel. In many cases, the amount $\beta >0$ of smoothing proven is optimal up to endpoints, and in such situations this amount of smoothing can be computed explicitly through the use of appropriate Newton polyhedra.     

Dilations of semigroups on von Neumann algebras and noncommutative Lp-spaces

We prove that any weak* continuous semigroup ${(T_t)}_{t?0}$ of factorizable Markov maps acting on a von Neumann algebra M equipped with a normal faithful state can be dilated by a group of Markov ?-automorphisms analogous to the case of a single factorizable Markov operator, which is an optimal result. We also give a version of this result for strongly continuous semigroups of operators acting on noncommutative ${\mathrm{L}}^p$-spaces and examples of semigroups to which the results of this paper can be applied. Our results imply the boundedness of the McIntosh's ${\mathrm{H}}^{\infty }$ functional calculus of the generators of these semigroups on the associated noncommutative ${\mathrm{L}}^p$-spaces generalising some previous work from Junge, Le Merdy and Xu. Finally, we also give concrete dilations for Poisson semigroups which are even new in the case of ${\mathbb{R}}^n$.     

Exponential sums formed with the Möbius function

Let $\mu \left(n\right)$ be the Möbius function and $x$ real. In this paper, we investigated the best possible estimates for the sum ${\sum }_{n\le x}\mu \left(n\right)e\left(n^k\theta \right)$ under the weak Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. A similar result also holds for the Liouville function $\lambda \left(n\right)$.     

Long path and cycle decompositions of even hypercubes

We consider edge decompositions of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ into isomorphic copies of a given graph $H$. While a number of results are known about decomposing $Q_n$ into graphs from various classes, the simplest cases of paths and cycles of a given length are far from being understood. A conjecture of Erde asserts that if $n$ is even, $\ell <2^n$ and $\ell$ divides the number of edges of $Q_n$, then the path of length $\ell$ decomposes $Q_n$. Tapadia et al. proved that any path of length $2^{m}n$, where $2^m<n$, satisfying these conditions decomposes $Q_n$. Here, we make progress toward resolving Erde’s conjecture by showing that cycles of certain lengths up to $2^{n+1}∕n$ decompose $Q_n$. As a consequence, we show that $Q_n$ can be decomposed into copies of any path of length at most $2^n∕n$ dividing the number of edges of $Q_n$, thereby settling Erde’s conjecture up to a linear factor.     

A1-invariance of non-stable K1-functors in the equicharacteristic case

We apply the techniques developed by I. Panin for the proof of the equicharacteristic case of the Serre–Grothendieck conjecture for isotropic reductive groups (Panin et al., 2015; Panin, 2019) to obtain similar injectivity and ${\mathbb{A}}^1$-invariance theorems for non-stable $K_1$-functors associated to isotropic reductive groups. Namely, let $G$ be a reductive group over a commutative ring $R$. We say that $G$ has isotropic rank $\ge n$, if every non-trivial normal semisimple $R$-subgroup of $G$ contains ${\left({\mathbf{G}}_{m,R}\right)}^n$. We show that if $G$ has isotropic rank $\ge 2$ and $R$ is a regular domain containing a field, then $K_1^G\left(R\left[x\right]\right)=K_1^G\left(R\right)$, where $K_1^G\left(R\right)=G\left(R\right)/E\left(R\right)$ is the corresponding non-stable $K_1$-functor, also called the Whitehead group of $G$. If $R$ is, moreover, local, then we show that $K_1^G\left(R\right)\to K_1^G\left(K\right)$ is injective, where $K$ is the field of fractions of $R$.     

Quasi-pure E0-semigroups

We introduce a class of $E_0$-semigroups that is broader and more flexible than the class of pure $E_0$-semigroups, and characterize the states of the spectral $C^{?}$-algebra $C^{?}(E)$ of a product system $E={\{E_t\}}_{t>0}$ that give rise to them.     

On the symbol-pair distances of repeated-root constacyclic codes of length 2ps

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $\lambda$ be a nonzero element of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$. The $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $2p^s$ over ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ are classified as the ideals of quotient ring $\frac{{\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}\left[x\right]}{〈x^{2p^s}?\lambda 〉}$ in terms of their generator polynomials. Based on these generator polynomials, the symbol-pair distances of all such $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $2p^s$ are obtained in this paper. As an application, all MDS symbol-pair constacyclic codes of length $2p^s$ over ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ are established, which produce many new MDS symbol-pair codes with good parameters.     

Fq-linear codes over Fq-algebras

Huffman (2013) [12] studied ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-linear codes over ${\mathbb{F}}_{q^m}$ and he proved the MacWilliams identity for these codes with respect to ordinary and Hermitian trace inner products. Let S be a finite commutative ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-algebra. An ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-linear code over S of length n is an ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-submodule of $S^n$. In this paper, we study ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-linear codes over S. We obtain some bounds on minimum distance of these codes, and some large classes of MDR codes are introduced. We generalize the ordinary and Hermitian trace products over ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-algebras and we prove the MacWilliams identity with respect to the generalized form. In particular, we obtain Huffman's results on the MacWilliams identity. Among other results, we give a theory to construct a class of quantum codes and the structure of ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-linear codes over finite commutative graded ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-algebras.     

Mixed quantum skew Howe duality and link invariants of type A

We define a ribbon category $\mathsf{Sp}(\beta )$, depending on a parameter β, which encompasses Cautis, Kamnitzer and Morrison's spider category, and describes for $\beta =m?n$ the monoidal category of representations of $U_q({\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n})$ generated by exterior powers of the vector representation and their duals. We identify this category $\mathsf{Sp}(\beta )$ with a direct limit of quotients of a dual idempotented quantum group ${\dot{\mathbf{U}}}_q({\mathfrak{gl}}_{r+s})$, proving a mixed version of skew Howe duality in which exterior powers and their duals appear at the same time. We show that the category $\mathsf{Sp}(\beta )$ gives a unified natural setting for defining the colored ${\mathfrak{gl}}_{m|n}$ link invariant (for $\beta =m?n$) and the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial (for β generic).
