A new bound for an extension of Mason’s theorem for functions of several variables

In this paper, using the generalized Wronskian, we obtain a new sharp bound for the generalized Masons theorem [1] for functions of several variables. We also show that the Diophantine equation (The generalized Fermat-Catalan equation) where , such that k out of the n-polynomials are constant, and under certain conditions for has no non-constant solution.

The Iorio-O’Carroll theorem for general lattice hamiltonians

The paper deals with the three-particle model of a lattice gas with a weak interaction. It is proved that the Hamiltonian of this system is unitarily equivalent to the Hamiltonian of the free system. This result is obtained by constructing the corresponding wave operators. To prove their existence, the resolvent of the Hamiltonian is studied. Bibliography: 8 titles.

A lower bound in Nehari’s theorem on the polydisc

By theorems of Ferguson and Lacey (d = 2) and Lacey and Terwilleger (d > 2), Nehari??s theorem (i.e., if H _?? is a bounded Hankel form on H ²(D ^d ) with analytic symbol ??, then there is a function ?? in L ^??(T ^d ) such that ?? is the Riesz projection of g4) is known to hold on the polydisc D ^d for d > 1. A method proposed in Helson??s last paper is used to show that the constant C _d in the estimate ??????_?? ?? C _d ??H _?? ?? grows at least exponentially with d; it follows that there is no analogue of Nehari??s theorem on the infinite-dimensional polydisc.

Let be a closed subscheme of the noetherian scheme X. We show that if X has a dualizing complex then there exists a dualizing complex of Z such that there is an isomorphism of coherent Witt groups for all . Received: 3 March 2006     

Hilbert’s irreducibility theorem for prime degree and general polynomials

Letf (X, t)εℚ[X, t] be an irreducible polynomial. Hilbert’s irreducibility theorem asserts that there are infinitely manyt ₀εℤ such thatf (X, t ₀) is still irreducible. We say thatf (X, t) isgeneral if the Galois group off (X, t) over ℚ(t) is the symmetric group in its natural action. We show that if the degree off with respect toX is a prime ≠ 5 or iff is general of degree ≠ 5, thenf (X, t ₀) is irreducible for all but finitely manyt ₀εℤ unless the curve given byf (X, t)=0 has infinitely many points (x ₀,t ₀) withx ₀εℚ,t ₀εℤ. The proof makes use of Siegel’s theorem about integral points on algebraic curves, and classical results about finite groups, going back to Burnside, Schur, Wielandt, and others.

A rigidity theorem for ℙ3(ℂ)

In this paper the following theorem is proved. Let X be a compact complex manifold of dimension 3 which carries 3 algebraically independent meromorphic functions. Assume that X is topologically isomorphic to the 3-dimensional projective space ₃. Then X is biholomorphically equivalent to ₃. In particular any deformation of ₃ is ₃.Dedicated to Karl Stein

A Note on the Browder＇s and Weyl＇s Theorem

Let T be a Banach space operator, E（T） be the set of all isolated eigenvalues of T and π（T） be the set of all poles of T. In this work, we show that Browder＇s theorem for T is equivalent to the localized single-valued extension property at all complex numbers λ in the complement of the Weyl spectrum of T, and we give some characterization of Weyl＇s theorem for operator satisfying E（T） = π（T）. An application is also given.     

Improvement of Hartman''''s linearization theorem

Hartman's linearization theorem tells us that if matrix A has no zero real part and f(x) is bounded and satisfies Lipchitz condition with small Lipchitzian constant, then there exists a homeomorphism of Rn sending the solutions of nonlinear system x' = Ax + f(x) onto the solutions of linear system x = Ax. In this paper, some components of the nonlinear item f(x) are permitted to be unbounded and we prove the result of global topological linearization without any special limitation and adding any condition. Thus, Hartman's linearization theorem is improved essentially.     

Wilson's theorem for consensus functions on hierarchies

Uniqueness in Harper’s vertex-isoperimetric theorem

For a set $A\subseteq Q_n={\left\{0,1\right\}}^n$ the $t$-neighbourhood of $A$ is $N^t\left(A\right)=\left\{x:d\left(x,A\right)\le t\right\}$, where $d$ denotes the usual graph distance on $Q_n$. Harper’s vertex-isoperimetric theorem states that among the subsets $A\subseteq Q_n$ of given size, the size of the $t$-neighbourhood is minimised when $A$ is taken to be an initial segment of the simplicial order. Aubrun and Szarek asked the following question: if $A\subseteq Q_n$ is a subset of given size for which the sizes of both $N^t\left(A\right)$ and $N^t\left(A^c\right)$ are minimal for all $t>0$, does it follow that $A$ is isomorphic to an initial segment of the simplicial order?Our aim is to give a counterexample. Surprisingly it turns out that there is no counterexample that is a Hamming ball, meaning a set that lies between two consecutive exact Hamming balls, i.e. a set $A$ with $B\left(x,r\right)\subseteq A\subseteq B\left(x,r+1\right)$ for some $x\in Q_n$. We go further to classify all the sets $A\subseteq Q_n$ for which the sizes of both $N^t\left(A\right)$ and $N^t\left(A^c\right)$ are minimal for all $t>0$ among the subsets of $Q_n$ of given size. We also prove that, perhaps surprisingly, if $A\subseteq Q_n$ for which the sizes of $N\left(A\right)$ and $N\left(A^c\right)$ are minimal among the subsets of $Q_n$ of given size, then the sizes of both $N^t\left(A\right)$ and $N^t\left(A^c\right)$ are also minimal for all $t>0$ among the subsets of $Q_n$ of given size. Hence the same classification also holds when we only require $N\left(A\right)$ and $N\left(A^c\right)$ to have minimal size among the subsets $A\subseteq Q_n$ of given size.

A constructive proof of Ky Fan’s coincidence theorem

We present a constructive proof for the well-known Ky Fan’s coincidence theorem through a simplicial algorithm. In a finite number of steps the algorithm generates a simplex containing an approximate coincidence point. In the limit, when the mesh size converges to zero, the sequence of approximations converges to a coincidence point. This research was carried out while the second author was visiting the CentER for Economic Research, Tilburg University.
