On spectral characterizations of Willmore hypersurfaces in a sphere

Let M be a closed Willmore hypersurface in the sphere S^n＋1（1） （n ≥ 2） with the same mean curvature of the Willmore torus Wm,n-m, if SpecP（M） = Spec^P（Wm,n-m ） （p = 0, 1,2）, then M is Wm,n-m.     

A characterization of totally <Emphasis Type="Italic">η</Emphasis>-umbilical real hypersurfaces and ruled real hypersurfaces of a complex space form

We give a characterization of totally η-umbilical real hypersurfaces and ruled real hypersurfaces of a complex space form in terms of totally umbilical condition for the holomorphic distribution on real hypersurfaces. We prove that if the shape operator A of a real hypersurface M of a complex space form M ⁿ (c), c ≠ 0, n ⩾ 3, satisfies g(AX, Y) = ag(X, Y) for any X, Y ∈ T ₀(x), a being a function, where T ₀ is the holomorphic distribution on M, then M is a totally η-umbilical real hypersurface or locally congruent to a ruled real hypersurface. This condition for the shape operator is a generalization of the notion of η-umbilical real hypersurfaces.     

-Operator frames for a Banach space

In this paper, (p,Y)-Bessel operator sequences, operator frames and (p,Y)-Riesz bases for a Banach space X are introduced and discussed as generalizations of the usual concepts for a Hilbert space and of the g-frames. It is proved that the set of all (p,Y)-Bessel operator sequences for a Banach space X is a Banach space and isometrically isomorphic to the operator space B(X,ℓ^p(Y)). Some necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of operators to be a (p,Y)-Bessel operator sequence are given. Also, a characterization of an independent (p,Y)-operator frame for X is obtained. Lastly, it is shown that an independent (p,Y)-operator frame for X is just a (p,Y)-Riesz basis for X and has a unique dual (q,Y^*)-operator frame for X^*.     

The free spectrum of the variety of bands

In this short note we give an asymptotic formula for the p _n sequence of the variety of bands, namely, for some constant K. This yields a formula for the free spectrum of this variety.     

Counting Solutions to Equations in Many Variables over Finite Fields

We present a polynomial-time algorithm for computing the zeta function of a smooth projective hypersurface of degree d over a finite field of characteristic p, under the assumption that p is a suitably small odd prime and does not divide d. This improves significantly upon an earlier algorithm of the author and Wan which is only polynomial-time when the dimension is fixed.     

Asymptotic fixed point theory and the beer barrel theorem

In Sections 2 and 3 of this paper we refine and generalize theorems of Nussbaum (see [42]) concerning the approximate fixed point index and the fixed point index class. In Section 4 we indicate how these results imply a wide variety of asymptotic fixed point theorems. In Section 5 we prove a generalization of the mod p theorem: if p is a prime number, f belongs to the fixed point index class and f satisfies certain natural hypothesis, then the fixed point index of f ^p is congruent mod p to the fixed point index of f. In Section 6 we give a counterexample to part of an asymptotic fixed point theorem of A. Tromba [55]. Sections 2, 3, and 4 comprise both new and expository material. Sections 5 and 6 comprise new results. This paper is dedicated to Felix Browder on the occasion of his eightieth birthday and in recognition of his many contributions to nonlinear analysis     

Connected components of the category of elementary abelian p-subgroups

We determine the maximal number of conjugacy classes of maximal elementary abelian subgroups of rank 2 in a finite p-group G, for an odd prime p. Namely, it is p if G has rank at least 3 and it is p+1 if G has rank 2. More precisely, if G has rank 2, there are exactly 1,2,p+1, or possibly 3 classes for some 3-groups of maximal nilpotency class.     

Equimorphy in varieties of distributive double p-algebras

Any finitely generated regular variety V of distributive double p-algebras is finitely determined, meaning that for some finite cardinal n(V), any subclass S V of algebras with isomorphic endomorphism monoids has fewer than n(V) pairwise non-isomorphic members. This result follows from our structural characterization of those finitely generated almost regular varieties which are finitely determined. We conjecture that any finitely generated, finitely determined variety of distributive double p-algebras must be almost regular.     

The L p -curvature images of convex bodies and L p -projection bodies

Associated with the L _p -curvature image defined by Lutwak, some inequalities for extended mixed p-affine surface areas of convex bodies and the support functions of L _p -projection bodies are established. As a natural extension of a result due to Lutwak, an L _p -type affine isoperimetric inequality, whose special cases are L _p -Busemann-Petty centroid inequality and L _p -affine projection inequality, respectively, is established. Some L _p -mixed volume inequalities involving L _p -projection bodies are also established.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-pairable graphs from trees

The concept of the k-pairable graphs was introduced by Zhibo Chen (On k-pairable graphs, Discrete Mathematics 287 (2004), 11–15) as an extension of hypercubes and graphs with an antipodal isomorphism. In the same paper, Chen also introduced a new graph parameter p(G), called the pair length of a graph G, as the maximum k such that G is k-pairable and p(G) = 0 if G is not k-pairable for any positive integer k. In this paper, we answer the two open questions raised by Chen in the case that the graphs involved are restricted to be trees. That is, we characterize the trees G with p(G) = 1 and prove that p(G □ H) = p(G) + p(H) when both G and H are trees.     

Rank 4 vector bundles on the quintic threefold

By the results of the author and Chiantini in [3], on a general quintic threefold X⊂P ⁴ the minimum integer p for which there exists a positive dimensional family of irreducible rank p vector bundles on X without intermediate cohomology is at least three. In this paper we show that p≤4, by constructing series of positive dimensional families of rank 4 vector bundles on X without intermediate cohomology. The general member of such family is an indecomposable bundle from the extension class Ext ¹ (E, F), for a suitable choice of the rank 2 ACM bundles E and F on X. The existence of such bundles of rank p=3 remains under question.     

The p-Rank of Ramified Covers of Curves

In this paper we study the p-rank of Abelian prime-to-p covers of the generic r-pointed curve of genus g. There is an obvious bound on the p-rank of the cover. We show that it suffices to compute the p-rank of cyclic prime-to-p covers of the generic r-pointed curve of genus zero. In that situation, we show that, for large p, the p-rank of the cover is equal to the bound.     

A New Construction of Central Relative (p a , p a , p a , 1)-Difference Sets

Semiregular relative difference sets (RDS) in a finite group E which avoid a central subgroup C are equivalent to orthogonal cocycles. For example, every abelian semiregular RDS must arise from a symmetric orthogonal cocycle, and vice versa. Here, we introduce a new construction for central (p ^a , p ^a , p ^a , 1)-RDS which derives from a novel type of orthogonal cocycle, an LP cocycle, defined in terms of a linearised permutation (LP) polynomial and multiplication in a finite presemifield. The construction yields many new non-abelian (p ^a , p ^a , p ^a , 1)-RDS. We show that the subset of the LP cocycles defined by the identity LP polynomial and multiplication in a commutative semifield determines the known abelian (p ^a , p ^a , p ^a , 1)-RDS, and give a second new construction using presemifields.We use this cohomological approach to identify equivalence classes of central (p ^a , p ^a , p ^a , 1)-RDS with elementary abelian C and E/C. We show that for p = 2, a 3 and p = 3, a 2, every central (p ^a , p ^a , p ^a , 1)-RDS is equivalent to one arising from an LP cocycle, and list them all by equivalence class. For p = 2, a = 4, we list the 32 distinct equivalence classes which arise from field multiplication. We prove that, for any p, there are at least a equivalence classes of central (p ^a , p ^a , p ^a , 1)-RDS, of which one is abelian and a – 1 are non-abelian.     

A Classification of Regular p-Groups with Invariants (e, 2, 1)

The class of the regular p-groups is one of the important classes in p-groups. Not only it has many similar properties as abelian p-groups, but also many of the p-groups belong to this class. In this paper, using the algorithms for determining the isomorphic regular p-groups, we give a complete classification of the regular p-groups with e-invariants (e, 2, 1).Supported by SXYSF 991003.     

Archimedean classes in integral commutative residuated chains

This paper investigates a quasi‐variety of representable integral commutative residuated lattices axiomatized by the quasi‐identity resulting from the well‐known Wajsberg identity (p → q) → q ≤ (q → p) → p if it is written as a quasi‐identity, i. e., (p → q) → q ≈ 1 ? (q → p) → p ≈ 1 . We prove that this quasi‐identity is strictly weaker than the corresponding identity. On the other hand, we show that the resulting quasi‐variety is in fact a variety and provide an axiomatization. The obtained results shed some light on the structure of Archimedean integral commutative residuated chains. Further, they can be applied to various subvarieties of MTL‐algebras, for instance we answer negatively Hájek's question asking whether the variety of ΠMTL‐algebras is generated by its Archimedean members (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The Selmer Groups of Elliptic Curves

Let E/K be an elliptic curve with K-rational p-torsion points.The p-Selmer group of E is described by the image of a map λk and hence an upper bound of its order is given in terms of the class numbers of the S-ideal class group of K and the p-division field of E.     

Geometry of Cubic and Quartic Hypersurfaces over Finite Fields

Let YPⁿ be a cubic hypersurface defined over GF(q). Here, we study the Finite Field Nullstellensatz of order [q/3] for the set Y(q) of its GF(q)-points, the existence of linear subspaces of PG(n,q) contained in Y(q) and the possibility to join any two points of Y(q) by the union of two lines of PG(n,q) entirely contained in Y(q). We also study the existence of linear subspaces defined over GF(q) for the intersection of Y with s quadrics and for quartic hypersurfaces.     

CR Hypersurfaces with a Contracting Automorphism

Let M be a real analytic CR hypersurface in ℂ ⁿ⁺¹ admitting no varieties of positive dimension. We show first that every contracting local CR automorphism of M is linearizable. As a consequence, we show that such M admitting a contracting local CR automorphism is holomorphically equivalent to a weighted homogeneous hypersurface. Finally, we apply these results to prove that a bounded domain in ℂ ⁿ⁺¹ with a real analytic boundary admitting an automorphism contracting at a boundary point must admit a Lie subgroup of real dimension at least two in its automorphism group.
