Regularity of random attractors for fractional stochastic reaction–diffusion equations on Rn

We investigate the regularity of random attractors for the non-autonomous non-local fractional stochastic reaction–diffusion equations in $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ with $s\in (0,1)$. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the tempered random attractor that is compact in $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ and attracts all tempered random subsets of $L^2({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ with respect to the norm of $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$. The main difficulty is to show the pullback asymptotic compactness of solutions in $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ due to the noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings on unbounded domains and the almost sure nondifferentiability of the sample paths of the Wiener process. We establish such compactness by the ideas of uniform tail-estimates and the spectral decomposition of solutions in bounded domains.     

On the trivectors of a 6-dimensional symplectic vector space. II

Let V be a 6-dimensional vector space over a field $\mathbb{F}$, let f be a nondegenerate alternating bilinear form on V and let $\mathit{Sp}(V\text{,}f)?{\mathit{Sp}}_6(\mathbb{F})$ denote the symplectic group associated with $(V\text{,}f)$. The group $\mathit{GL}(V)$ has a natural action on the third exterior power ${?}^{3}V$ of V and this action defines five families of nonzero trivectors of V. Four of these families are orbits for any choice of the field $\mathbb{F}$. The orbits of the fifth family are in one-to-one correspondence with the quadratic extensions of $\mathbb{F}$ that are contained in a fixed algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{F}}$ of $\mathbb{F}$. In this paper, we divide the orbits corresponding to the separable quadratic extensions into suborbits for the action of $\mathit{Sp}(V\text{,}f)?\mathit{GL}(V)$ on ${?}^{3}V$.     

Harnack inequality for quasilinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds

We study viscosity solutions to degenerate and singular elliptic equations

$\mathrm{div}\left(\frac{F^{\prime }(|\mathrm{?}u|)}{|\mathrm{?}u|}\mathrm{?}u\right)=h$

of p-Laplacian type on Riemannian manifolds, where an even function $F\in C^1\left(\mathbb{R}\right)\cap C^2(0,\infty )$ is supposed to be strictly convex on $(0,\infty )$. Under the assumption that either $F\in C^2(\mathbb{R})$ or its convex conjugate $F^{?}\in C^2(\mathbb{R})$ with some structural condition, we establish a (locally) uniform ABP type estimate and the Krylov–Safonov type Harnack inequality on Riemannian manifolds with the use of an intrinsic geometric quantity to the operator. Here, the $C^2$-regularities of F and $F^{?}$ account for degenerate and singular operators, respectively.     

Transcendence degree one function fields over a finite field with many automorphisms

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ of odd characteristic p. For a positive integer m prime to p, let $F=\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ be the transcendence degree 1 function field defined by $y^q+y=x^m+x^{?m}$. Let $t=x^{m(q?1)}$ and $H=\mathbb{K}(t)$. The extension $F|H$ is a non-Galois extension. Let K be the Galois closure of F with respect to H. By Stichtenoth [20], K has genus $\mathfrak{g}(K)=(qm?1)(q?1)$, p-rank (Hasse–Witt invariant) $\gamma (K)={(q?1)}^2$ and a $\mathbb{K}$-automorphism group of order at least $2q^{2}m(q?1)$. In this paper we prove that this subgroup is the full $\mathbb{K}$-automorphism group of K; more precisely ${\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)=\mathrm{\Delta }?D$ where Δ is an elementary abelian p-group of order $q^2$ and D has an index 2 cyclic subgroup of order $m(q?1)$. In particular, $\sqrt{m}|{\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)|>\mathfrak{g}{(K)}^{3/2}$, and if K is ordinary (i.e. $\mathfrak{g}(K)=\gamma (K)$) then $|{\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)|>{\mathfrak{g}}^{3/2}$. On the other hand, if G is a solvable subgroup of the $\mathbb{K}$-automorphism group of an ordinary, transcendence degree 1 function field L of genus $\mathfrak{g}(L)\ge 2$ defined over $\mathbb{K}$, then $|{\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)|\le 34{(\mathfrak{g}(L)+1)}^{3/2}<68\sqrt{2}\mathfrak{g}{(L)}^{3/2}$; see [15]. This shows that K hits this bound up to the constant $68\sqrt{2}$.Since ${\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)$ has several subgroups, the fixed subfield $F^N$ of such a subgroup N may happen to have many automorphisms provided that the normalizer of N in ${\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)$ is large enough. This possibility is worked out for subgroups of Δ.     

On the Gromov non-hyperbolicity of certain domains in Cn

In this paper, we prove that if Ω is a bounded convex domain in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$, $n\ge 2$, and S is an affine complex hyperplane such that $\mathrm{\Omega }\cap S$ is not empty, then $\mathrm{\Omega }?S$ is not Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the Kobayashi distance. Next, we show that if X is a bounded convex domain in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$, then $\mathrm{\Omega }=\{(z,w)\in X\times {\mathbb{C}}^{?},\left|w\right|<{\mathrm{e}}^{?\phi (z)}\}$ is not Gromov hyperbolic, where φ is a strictly plurisubaharmonic function on X continuous up to $\stackrel{￣}{X}$.
