Nonaffine differential-algebraic curves do not exist

The paper outlines why the spectrum of maximal ideals Spec _? A of a countable-dimensional differential ?-algebra A of transcendence degree 1 without zero divisors is locally analytic, which means that for any ?-homomorphism ψ _M: A → ? (M ∈ Spec _? A) and any a ∈ A the Taylor series \(\widetilde {{\psi _M}}{\left( a \right)^{\underline{\underline {def}} }}\sum\limits_{m = 0}^\infty {\psi M\left( {{a^{\left( m \right)}}} \right)} \frac{{{z^m}}}{{m!}}\) has nonzero radius of convergence depending on the element a ∈ A.     

Szegő kernels and Poincaré series

Let \(M = {{\widetilde M} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\widetilde M} \Gamma }} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \Gamma }\) be a Kähler manifold, where Γ ~ π₁(M) and \(\widetilde M\) is the universal Kähler cover. Let (L, h) → M be a positive hermitian holomorphic line bundle. We first prove that the L² Szeg? projector \({\widetilde \Pi _N}\) for L²-holomorphic sections on the lifted bundle \({\widetilde L^N}\) is related to the Szeg? projector for H⁰(M, L^N) by \({\widehat \Pi _N}\left( {x,y} \right) = \sum\nolimits_{\gamma \in \Gamma } {{{\widetilde {\widehat \Pi }}_N}} \left( {\gamma \cdot x,y} \right)\). We then apply this result to give a simple proof of Napier’s theorem on the holomorphic convexity of \(\widetilde M\) with respect to \({\widetilde L^N}\) and to surjectivity of Poincaré series.     

Complete hypersurfaces with constant laguerre scalar curvature in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let x: M ^n?1 → R ⁿ be an umbilical free hypersurface with non-zero principal curvatures. Two basic invariants of M under the Laguerre transformation group of R ⁿ are Laguerre form C and Laguerre tensor L. In this paper, n > 3) complete hypersurface with vanishing Laguerre form and with constant Laguerre scalar curvature R in R ⁿ , denote the trace-free Laguerre tensor by ?\(\widetilde L = L - \frac{1}{{n - 1}}tr\left( L \right)\) · Id. If \(\widetilde L = L - \frac{1}{{n - 1}}tr\left( L \right)\), then M is Laguerre equivalent to a Laguerre isotropic hypersurface; and if \({\sup _M}\left\| {\widetilde L} \right\| = \frac{{\sqrt {\left( {n - 1} \right)\left( {n - 2} \right)} R}}{{\left( {n - 1} \right)\left( {n - 2} \right)\left( {n - 3} \right)}},\), M is Laguerre equivalent to the hypersurface ?x: H ¹ × S ^n?2 → R ⁿ .     

Algebraic properties of Zappa–Szép products of semigroups and monoids

Direct, semidirect and Zappa–Szép products provide tools to decompose algebraic structures, with each being a natural generalisation of its predecessor. In this paper we examine Zappa–Szép products of monoids and semigroups and investigate generalised Greens relations \({\mathcal R}^{*},\, {\mathcal L}^{*},\, \widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_E\) and \(\widetilde{\mathcal {L}}_E\) for these Zappa–Szép products. We consider a left restriction semigroup S with semilattice of projections E and define left and right actions of S on E and E on S, respectively, to form the Zappa–Szép product \(E \bowtie S\). We further investigate properties of \(E \bowtie S\) and show that S is a retract of \(E\bowtie S\). We also find a subset T of \(E \bowtie S\) which is left restriction.     

On commutator of generalized Aluthge transformations and Fuglede–Putnam theorem

Let \(A=U|A|\) be the polar decomposition of A on a complex Hilbert space \({\mathscr {H}}\) and \(0<s,t\). Then \({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}=|A|^sU|A|^t\) and \({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}^{(*)}=|A^*|^sU|A^*|^t\) are called the generalized Aluthge transformation and generalized \(*\)-Aluthge transformation of A, respectively. A pair (A, B) of operators is said to have the Fuglede–Putnam property (breifly, the FP-property) if \(AX=XB\) implies \(A^*X=XB^*\) for every operator X. We prove that if (A, B) has the FP-property, then \(({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t},{\widetilde{B}}_{s, t})\) and \((({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t})^{*},({\widetilde{B}}_{s, t})^{*})\) has the FP-property for every \(s,t>0\) with \(s+t=1\). Also, we prove that \(({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t},{\widetilde{B}}_{s, t})\) has the FP-property if and only if \((({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t})^{*},({\widetilde{B}}_{s, t})^{*})\) has the FP-property, where A, B are invertible and \( 0 < s, t \) with \( s + t =1\). Moreover, we prove that if \(0 < s, t\) and \({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}\) is positive and invertible, then \(\left\| {\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}X-X{\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}\right\| \le \left\| A\right\| ^{2t}\left\| ({\widetilde{A}}_{s, t})^{-1}\right\| \left\| X\right\| \) for every operator X. Also, if \( 0 <s, t\) and X is positive, then \(\left\| |{\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}|^{2r} X-X|{\widetilde{A}}_{s, t}|^{2r}\right\| \le \frac{1}{2}\left\| |A|\right\| ^{2r}\left\| X\right\| \) for every \(r>0\).     

A spectral method for nonlinear elliptic equations

Let Ω be an open, simply connected, and bounded region in \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\), d ≥ 2, and assume its boundary ?Ω is smooth and homeomorphic to \(\mathbb {S}^{d-1}\). Consider solving an elliptic partial differential equation L u = f(?, u) over Ω with zero Dirichlet boundary value. The function f is a nonlinear function of the solution u. The problem is converted to an equivalent elliptic problem over the open unit ball \(\mathbb {B}^{d}\) in \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\), say \(\widetilde {L}\widetilde {u} =\widetilde {f}(\cdot ,\widetilde {u})\). Then a spectral Galerkin method is used to create a convergent sequence of multivariate polynomials \(\widetilde {u} _{n}\) of degree ≤ n that is convergent to \(\widetilde {u}\). The transformation from Ω to \(\mathbb {B}^{d}\) requires a special analytical calculation for its implementation. With sufficiently smooth problem parameters, the method is shown to be rapidly convergent. For \(u\in C^{\infty } \left (\overline {\Omega }\right ) \) and assuming ?Ω is a C ^∞ boundary, the convergence of \(\left \Vert \widetilde {u} -\widetilde {u}_{n}\right \Vert _{H^{1}}\) to zero is faster than any power of 1/n. The error analysis uses a reformulation of the boundary value problem as an integral equation, and then it uses tools from nonlinear integral equations to analyze the numerical method. Numerical examples illustrate experimentally an exponential rate of convergence. A generalization to ?Δu + γ u = f(u) with a zero Neumann boundary condition is also presented.     

Automorphism Group of Representation Ring of the Weak Hopf Algebra $$\widetilde{H_8 }$$

Let H₈ be the unique noncommutative and noncocommutative eight dimensional semi-simple Hopf algebra. We first construct a weak Hopf algebra \(\widetilde{H_8 }\)based on H₈, then we investigate the structure of the representation ring of \(\widetilde{H_8 }\). Finally, we prove that the automorphism group of \(r\left( {\widetilde{H_8 }} \right)\)is just isomorphic to D₆, where D₆ is the dihedral group with order 12.     

Functional equations and Weierstrass sigma-functions

It is proved that if an entire function f: ? → ? satisfies an equation of the form α ₁(x)β ₁(y) + α ₂(x)β ₂(y) + α ₃(x)β ₃(y), x,y ∈ C, for some α _j , β _j : ? → ? and there exist no \({\widetilde \alpha _j}\) and ?\({\widetilde \beta _j}\) for which \(f\left( {x + y} \right)f\left( {x - y} \right) = {\overline \alpha _1}\left( x \right){\widetilde \beta _1}\left( y \right) + {\overline \alpha _2}\left( x \right){\widetilde \beta _2}\left( y \right)\), then f(z) = exp(Az ² + Bz + C) ? σ _Γ(z - z ₁) ? σ _Γ(z - z ₂), where Γ is a lattice in ?; σ _Γ is the Weierstrass sigma-function associated with Γ; A,B,C, z ₁, z ₂ ∈ ?; and \({z_1} - {z_2} \notin \left( {\frac{1}{2}\Gamma } \right)\backslash \Gamma \).     

On the semistability of certain Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles on abelian surfaces

Let \(X=\mathscr {J}(\widetilde{\mathscr {C}})\), the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve \(\widetilde{\mathscr {C}}\) over \({\mathbb {C}}\), and let Y be the associated Kummer surface. Consider an ample line bundle \(L=\mathscr {O}(m\widetilde{\mathscr {C}})\) on X for an even number m, and its descent to Y, say \(L'\). We show that any dominating component of \({\mathscr {W}}^1_{d}(|L'|)\) corresponds to \(\mu _{L'}\)-stable Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles on Y. Further, for a smooth curve \(C\in |L|\) and a base-point free \(g^1_d\) on C, say (A, V), we study the \(\mu _L\)-semistability of the rank-2 Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundle associated to (C, (A, V)) on X. Under certain assumptions on C and the \(g^1_d\), we show that the above Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles are \(\mu _L\)-semistable.     

On the densities of rational multiples

For two subsets of natural numbers \( A,B \subset \mathbb{N} \), define the set of rational numbers \( \mathcal{M}\left( {A,B} \right) \) with the elements represented by m/n, where m and n are coprime, m is divisible by some a ∈ A, and n is divisible by some b ∈ B. Let I be some interval of positive real numbers and \( \mathcal{F}_x^I \) denote the set of rational numbers m/n ∈ I such that m and n are coprime and n ? x. The analogue to the Erdös–Davenport theorem about multiples is proved: under some constraints on I, the limits \( {{{\sum {\left\{ {\frac{1}{{mn}}:\frac{m}{n} \in \mathcal{F}_x^I \cap \mathcal{M}\left( {A,B} \right)} \right\}} }} \left/ {{\sum {\left\{ {\frac{1}{{mn}}:\frac{m}{n} \in \mathcal{F}_x^I} \right\}} }} \right.} \) exist for all subsets \( A,B \subset \mathbb{N} \) as x → ∞.     

Remarks on Complex Symmetric Operators

An operator \({T\in{\mathcal{L}}({\mathcal{H}})}\) is said to be complex symmetric if there exists a conjugation C on \({{\mathcal H}}\) such that \({T= CT^{\ast}C}\). In this paper, we study the spectral radius algebras for complex symmetric operators. In particular, we prove that if A is a complex symmetric operator, then the spectral radius algebra \({{\mathcal B}_{A}}\) associated with A has a nontrivial invariant subspace under some conditions. Finally, we give some relations between \({P_{\tilde{A}}}\) and \({P_{\widetilde{A^{\ast}}}}\) (defined below) when A is complex symmetric.     

Removability of isolated singularities for anisotropic elliptic equations with gradient absorption

We study the well-posedness of the third-order degenerate differential equation \(\left( {{P_3}} \right):\alpha {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime \prime }}\left( t \right) + {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime }}\left( t \right) = \beta Au\left( t \right) + f\left( t \right)\), (t ∈ [0, 2p]) with periodic boundary conditions \(Mu\left( 0 \right) = Mu\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu'\left( 0 \right) = Mu'\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu''\left( 0 \right) = Mu''\left( {2\pi } \right)\), in periodic Lebesgue–Bochner spaces L^p(T,X), periodic Besov spaces B_p,q^s(T,X) and periodic Triebel–Lizorkin spaces F_p,q^s(T,X), where A, B and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A) \( \cap \)D(B) ? D(M) and α, β, γ ∈ R. Using known operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems, we completely characterize the well-posedness of (P₃) in the above three function spaces.     

Determination of cusp forms by central values of Rankin–Selberg <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">L</Emphasis>-functions<Superscript>*</Superscript>

Let f be a fixed holomorphic Hecke eigen cusp form of weight k for \( SL\left( {2,{\mathbb Z}} \right) \), and let \( {\mathcal U} = \left\{ {{u_j}:j \geqslant 1} \right\} \) be an orthonormal basis of Hecke–Maass cusp forms for \( SL\left( {2,{\mathbb Z}} \right) \). We prove an asymptotic formula for the twisted first moment of the Rankin–Selberg L-functions \( L\left( {s,f \otimes {u_j}} \right) \) at \( s = \frac{1}{2} \) as u _j runs over \( {\mathcal U} \). It follows that f is uniquely determined by the central values of the family of Rankin–Selberg L-functions \( \left\{ {L\left( {s,f \otimes {u_j}} \right):{u_j} \in {\mathcal U}} \right\} \).     

Closed range and nonclosed range adjointable operators on Hilbert $$C^*$$-modules

In this paper, we show that for a positive operator A on a Hilbert \(C^*\)-module \( \mathscr {E} \), the range \( \mathscr {R}(A) \) of A is closed if and only if \( \mathscr {R}(A^\alpha ) \) is closed for all \(\alpha \in (0,1)\cup (1,+\,\infty )\), and this occurs if and only if \( \mathscr {R}(A)=\mathscr {R}(A^\alpha ) \) for all \(\alpha \in (0,1)\cup (1,+\,\infty )\). As an application, we prove that for an adjontable operator A if \(\mathscr {R}(A)\) is nonclosed, then \(\dim \left( \overline{\mathscr {R}(A)}/\mathscr {R}(A)\right) =+\,\infty \). Finally, we show that for an adjointable operator A if \( \overline{\mathscr {R}(A^*) } \) is orthogonally complemented in \( \mathscr {E} \), then under certain coditions there exists an idempotent C and a unique operator X such that \( XAX=X, AXA=CA, AX=C \) and \( XA=P_{A^*} \), where \( P_{A^*} \) is the orthogonal projection of \( \mathscr {E} \) onto \( \overline{\mathscr {R}(A^*)}\).     

On a transformation of integral equations

Let E = E(a, b) be some Banach space of measurable functions on (a, b), I be the identity operator, and let \(\hat K\) be a Fredholm-type regular integral operator acting on E and \({\hat K_ \pm }\) be its triangular parts. We consider the representation \(I - \hat K = \left( {I - {{\hat K}_ - }} \right)\left( {I - \hat U} \right)\left( {I - {{\hat K}_ + }} \right)\), for some known classes of integral operators. In particular,we show that under certain conditions the operator \(\hat U\) is positive and its spectral radius satisfies the condition \(r\left( {\hat U} \right) < 1\). Also, we give some possible applications of the representation.     

On riemann “nondifferentiable” function and Schrödinger equation

The function \(\psi : = \sum\nolimits_{n \in \mathbb{Z}\backslash \left\{ 0 \right\}} {{{e^{\pi i\left( {tn^2 + 2xn} \right)} } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{e^{\pi i\left( {tn^2 + 2xn} \right)} } {\left( {\pi in^2 } \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {\pi in^2 } \right)}}} \), {t, x} ?², is studied as a (generalized) solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the Schrödinger equation. The real part of the restriction of ψ on the line x = 0, that is, the function \(R: = Re\psi \left| {_{x = 0} = \tfrac{2}{n}} \right.\sum\nolimits_{n \in \mathbb{N}} {\frac{{\sin \pi n^2 t}}{{n^2 }}} \), t ∈ ?, was suggested by B. Riemann as a plausible example of a continuous but nowhere differentiable function. The points are established on ?² where the partial derivative \(\frac{{\partial \psi }}{{\partial t}}\) exists and equals ?1. These points constitute a countable set of open intervals parallel to the x-axis, with rational values of t. Thereby a natural extension of the well-known results of G.H. Hardy and J. Gerver is obtained (Gerver established that the derivative of the function R still does exist and equals ?1 at each rational point of the type \(t = \frac{a}{q}\) where both numbers a and q are odd). A basic role is played by a representation of the differences of the function ψ via Poisson’s summation formula and the oscillatory Fresnel integral. It is also proved that the number 3 4 is the sharp value of the Lipschitz-Hölder exponent of the function ψ in the variable t almost everywhere on ?².     

Reconstruction of the potential of the Sturm–Liouville operator from a finite set of eigenvalues and normalizing constants

It is well known that the potential q of the Sturm–Liouville operator L_y = ?y? + q(x)y on the finite interval [0, π] can be uniquely reconstructed from the spectrum \(\left\{ {{\lambda _k}} \right\}_1^\infty \) and the normalizing numbers \(\left\{ {{\alpha _k}} \right\}_1^\infty \) of the operator L_D with the Dirichlet conditions. For an arbitrary real-valued potential q lying in the Sobolev space \(W_2^\theta \left[ {0,\pi } \right],\theta > - 1\), we construct a function q_N providing a 2N-approximation to the potential on the basis of the finite spectral data set \(\left\{ {{\lambda _k}} \right\}_1^N \cup \left\{ {{\alpha _k}} \right\}_1^N\). The main result is that, for arbitrary τ in the interval ?1 ≤ τ < θ, the estimate \({\left\| {q - \left. {{q_N}} \right\|} \right._\tau } \leqslant C{N^{\tau - \theta }}\) is true, where \({\left\| {\left. \cdot \right\|} \right._\tau }\) is the norm on the Sobolev space \(W_2^\tau \). The constant C depends solely on \({\left\| {\left. q \right\|} \right._\theta }\).     

Remarks on the Trotter–Kato Product Formula for Unitary Groups

Let A and B be non-negative self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space such that their form sum C is densely defined. It is shown that the Trotter product formula holds for imaginary parameter values in the L ²-norm, that is, one has

$ \lim_{n\to+\infty} \int\limits^T_{-T} \left\|\left(e^{-itA/n}e^{-itB/n} \right)^nh - e^{-itC}h\right\|^2dt = 0 $

for each element h of the Hilbert space and any T > 0. This result is extended to the class of holomorphic Kato functions, to which the exponential function belongs. Moreover, for a class of admissible functions: \({\phi(\cdot),\psi(\cdot):{\mathbb R}_+ \longrightarrow {\mathbb C}}\), where \({{\mathbb R}_+ := [0,\infty)}\), satisfying in addition \({{\Re{\rm e}}\,(\phi(y))\ge 0, {\Im{\rm m}}\,(\phi(y) \le 0}\) and \({{\Im{\rm m}}\,(\psi(y)) \le 0}\) for \({y \in {\mathbb R}_+}\), we prove that

$ \,\mbox{\rm s-}\hspace{-2pt} \lim_{n\to\infty}(\phi(tA/n)\psi(tB/n))^n = e^{-itC} $

holds true uniformly on \({[0,T]\ni t}\) for any T > 0.

     

Some Berezin Number Inequalities for Operator Matrices

The Berezin symbol à of an operator A acting on the reproducing kernel Hilbert space H = H(Ω) over some (nonempty) set is defined by \(\tilde A(\lambda ) = \left\langle {A\hat k_\lambda ,\hat k_\lambda } \right\rangle \), λ ∈ Ω, where \(\hat k_\lambda = k_\lambda /\left\| {k_\lambda } \right\|\) is the normalized reproducing kernel of H. The Berezin number of the operator A is defined by \(ber(A) = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\lambda \in \Omega } \left| {\tilde A(\lambda )} \right| = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{\lambda \in \Omega } \left| {\left\langle {A\hat k_\lambda ,\hat k_\lambda } \right\rangle } \right|\). Moreover, ber(A) ? w(A) (numerical radius). We present some Berezin number inequalities. Among other inequalities, it is shown that if \(T = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} A & B \\ C & D \\ \end{array} } \right] \in \mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H}(\Omega _1 ) \oplus \mathcal{H}(\Omega _2 ))\), then

$$ber(T) \leqslant \frac{1}{2}(ber(A) + ber(D)) + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {(ber(A) - ber(D))^2 + \left( {\left\| B \right\| + \left\| C \right\|} \right)^2 } .$$
