Nowhere-zero 3-flows in matroid base graph

The base graph of a simple matroid M=(E,?) is the graph G such that V(G)=? and E(G)={BB′:B,B′∈?,|B\B′|=1}, where the same notation is used for the vertices of G and the bases of M. It is proved that the base graph G of connectedsimple matroid M is Z₃-connected if |V (G)|≥5. We also proved that if M is not a connected simple matroid, then the base graph G of M does not admit a nowhere-zero 3-flow if and only if |V (G)| = 4. Furthermore, if for every connected component E_i (i≥2) of M, the matroid ase graph G_i of M_i = M|E_i has |V (G_i)|≥5, then G is Z₃-connected which also implies that G admits nowhere-zero 3-flow immediately.     

Sum of squares methods for minimizing polynomial forms over spheres and hypersurfaces

This paper studies the problem of minimizing a homogeneous polynomial (form) f(x) over the unit sphere Sn-1={x∈?n:‖x‖2=|1}. The problem is NP-hard when f(x) has degree 3 or higher. Denote by f_min (resp. f_max) the minimum (resp. maximum) value of f(x) on Sn-1. First, when f(x) is an even form of degree 2d, we study the standard sum of squares (SOS) relaxation for finding a lower bound of the minimum f_min:max? γ s.t. f(x)-γ·‖x‖22d? is SOS.Let f_sos be the above optimal value. Then we show that for all n≥2d,1≤fmax?-fsosfmax?-fmin?≤C(d)(n2d).Here, the constant C(d) is independent of n. Second, when f(x) is a multi-form and Sn-1 becomes a multi-unit sphere, we generalize the above SOS relaxation and prove a similar bound. Third, when f(x) is sparse, we prove an improved bound depending on its sparsity pattern; when f(x) is odd, we formulate the problem equivalently as minimizing a certain even form, and prove a similar bound. Last, for minimizing f(x) over a hypersurface H(g)={x∈?n:g(x)=1} defined by a positive definite form g(x), we generalize the above SOS relaxation and prove a similar bound.     

Factorization of simple modules for certain restricted two-parameter quantum groups

We study the representations of the restricted two-parameter quantum groups of types B and G. For these restricted two-parameter quantum groups, we give some explicit conditions which guarantee that a simple module can be factored as the tensor product of a one-dimensional module with a module that is naturally a module for the quotient by central group-like elements. That is, given θ a primitive lth root of unity, the factorization of simple ?θy,θz,( )-modules is possible, if and only if (2(y - z), l) = 1 for =??2n+1; (3(y - z), l) = 1 for g= G₂.     

Moderate deviations and central limit theorem for small perturbation Wishart processes

Let X^ε be a small perturbation Wishart process with values in the set of positive definite matrices of size m, i.e., the process X^ε is the solution of stochastic differential equation with non-Lipschitz diffusion coefficient： dXt^ε = √εXt^εtdBt＇ ＋ dBt＇√εXt^ε ＋ ρImdt, X0 = x, where B is an rn x m matrix valued Brownian motion and B＇ denotes the transpose of the matrix B. In this paper, we prove that { （Xt^ε-Xt^0）/√εh^2（ε）,ε 〉 0} satisfies a large deviation principle, and （Xt^ε - Xt^0）/√ε converges to a Gaussian process, where h（ε） → ＋∞ and √ε h（ε） →0 as ε →0. A moderate deviation principle and a functional central limit theorem for the eigenvalue process of X^ε are also obtained by the delta method.     

Fixed points of smoothing transformation in random environment

At each time n\in \mathbb{N},\mathrm{l}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}{\overline{Y}}^{(n)}(\xi )=(y_1^{(n)}(\xi ),y_2^{(n)}(\xi ),\cdots ) be a random sequence of non-negative numbers that are ultimately zero in a random environment\xi \text{=}（{\xi }_n{）}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}. The existence and uniqueness of the nonnegative fixed points of the associated smoothing transformation in random environment are considered. These fixed points are solutions to the distributional equation for a.e.\xi ,Z(\xi )\stackrel{\text{d}}{=}{\sum }_{i\in \mathbb{N}+}{y}_i^{(\mathrm{0})}(\xi )Z_i^{(\mathrm{1})}(\xi ),where ｛Z_i^{(\mathrm{1})}:i\in {\mathbb{N}}_{+}｝ are random variables in random environment which satisfy that for any environment\xi; under P_{\xi }; ｛Z_i^{(\mathrm{1})}:i\in {\mathbb{N}}_{+}｝are independent of each other and {\bar{Y}}^{(\mathrm{0})}(\xi ), and have the same conditional distribution P_{\xi }(Z_i^{(1)}(\xi )\in \cdot )=P_{T\xi }(Z(T\xi )\in \cdot ) where T is the shift operator. This extends the classical results of J. D. Biggins [J. Appl. Probab., 1977, 14: 25-37] to the random environment case. As an application, the martingale convergence of the branching random walk in random environment is given as well.

Strong law of large numbers for supercritical superprocesses under second moment condition

Consider a supercritical superprocess X = {X_t, t≥0} on a locally compact separable metric space (E,m). Suppose that the spatial motion of X is a Hunt process satisfying certain conditions and that the branching mechanism is of the form ψ(x,λ)=-a(x)λ+b(x)λ2+∫(0,+∞)(e-λy-1+λy)n(x,dy),?x∈E,λ>0, where a∈Bb(E),b∈Bb+(E), and n is a kernel from E to (0,+∞) satisfying sup?x∈E∫0+∞y2n(x,dy)<+∞. Put Ttf(x)=Pδx?f,Xt?. Suppose that the semigroup {T_t; t≥0}is compact. Let λ₀ be the eigenvalue of the (possibly non-symmetric) generator L of {T_t}that has the largest real part among all the eigenvalues of L, which is known to be real-valued. Let ?0 and ?^0 be the eigenfunctions of L and L^(the dual of L) associated with λ₀, respectively. Assume λ₀>0. Under some conditions on the spatial motion and the ?0-transform of the semigroup {T_t}, we prove that for a large class of suitable functions f, lim?t→+∞e-λ0t?f,Xt?=W∞∫E?^0(y)f(y)m(dy),?Pμ-a.s., for any finite initial measure μ on E with compact support, where W_∞ is the martingale limit defined by W∞:=lim?t→+∞e-λ0t??0,Xt?. Moreover, the exceptional set in the above limit does not depend on the initial measure μ and the function f.     

Optimal global regularity for minimal graphs over convex domains in hyperbolic space

We use the concept of the inside-(a, η, h) domain to construct a subsolution to the Dirichlet problem for minimal graphs over convex domains in hyperbolic space. As an application, we prove that the Hölder exponent \max \{1/a,1/(n+1)\} for the problem is optimal for any a\in [2,+\infty ].

Decompositions of stochastic convolution driven by a white-fractional Gaussian noise

Let u=\{u(t,x);(t,x)\in {ℝ}_{+}\times ℝ\}be the solution to a linear stochastic heat equation driven by a Gaussian noise, which is a Brownian motion in time and a fractional Brownian motion in space with Hurst parameterH\in (\mathrm{0},\mathrm{1}): For any givenx\in ℝ(\text{resp}\text{.},t\in {ℝ}_{+}), we show a decomposition of the stochastic processt\to u(t,x)(\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{p}.,x\to u(t,x))as the sum of a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H/2 (resp., H) and a stochastic process with C^∞-continuous trajectories. Some applications of those decompositions are discussed.

Ground state solutions for a non-autonomous nonlinear Schrödinger-KdV system

We study the Schrödinger-KdV system\{\begin{array}{ll}-\mathrm{\Delta }u+{\lambda }_{\mathrm{1}}(x)u=u^{\mathrm{3}}+\beta uv,& u\in H^{\mathrm{1}}({ℝ}^N),\\ -\mathrm{\Delta }v+{\lambda }_{\mathrm{2}}(x)v={\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}}{v}^{\mathrm{2}}+{\displaystyle \frac{\beta }{\mathrm{2}}}{u}^{\mathrm{2}},& v\in H^{\mathrm{1}}({ℝ}^N),\end{array}where N=\mathrm{1},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{3},\mathrm{}{\lambda }_i(x)\in C({ℝ}^N,ℝ),{\lim }_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }{\lambda }_i(x)={\lambda }_i(\infty ), and {\lambda }_i(x)\le {\lambda }_i(\infty ),i= 1,2,a.e. x\in {ℝ}^N.We obtain the existence of nontrivial ground state solutions for the above system by variational methods and the Nehari manifold.     

Exponential sums involving automorphic forms for GL(3) over arithmetic progressions

Let f be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for SL(3;\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}) with Fourier coefficients A_f(m; n); and let \varphi (x) be a C^{\infty } -function supported on [1; 2] with derivatives bounded by {\varphi }^{(j)}(x)\ll j 1. We prove an asymptotic formula for the nonlinear exponential sum {\mathrm{\Sigma }}_{n\equiv l\mathrm{mod}q}{A}_f(m,n)\phi (n/X)e{\left(3\left(kn\right)\right)}^{1/3}/q, where e(z)={\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{2}\pi iz} and k\in {\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}^{+}.     

Boundary behavior of harmonic functions on metric measure spaces with non-negative Ricci curvature

Let (X, d, μ) be a metric measure space with non-negative Ricci curvature. This paper is concerned with the boundary behavior of harmonic function on the (open) upper half-space X\times {\text{ℝ}}_{+}. We derive that a function f of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) is the trace of harmonic function u(x,t) on X\times {\text{ℝ}}_{+},u(x,0)=f\left(x\right), whenever u satisfies the following Carleson measure condition where \nabla =({\nabla }_x,{\partial }_t) denotes the total gradient and B(x_B,r_B) denotes the (open) ball centered at x_B with radius r_B. Conversely, the above condition characterizes all the harmonic functions whose traces are in BMO space.

For the normalized Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms λ(n) and the normalized Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms a(n), we give the bound of ∑m12+m22+m32≤xλ(m12+m22+m32)Λ(m12+m22+m32) and ∑m12+m22+m32≤xa(m12+m22+m32)Λ(m12+m22+m32).     

Uniqueness of weak solutions for fractional Navier-Stokes equations

We prove that if u is a weak solution of the d dimensional fractional Navier-Stokes equations for some initial data u₀and if u belongs to path space p=Lq(0,T;Bp,∞r)or p=L1(0,T;B∞,∞r), then u is unique in the class of weak solutions when α>1. The main tools are Bony decomposition and Fourier localization technique. The results generalize and improve many recent known results.     

Dimension of divergence sets for dispersive equation

Consider the generalized dispersive equation defined by{iδtu+Ф(√-△)u=0,(x,t)∈R^n×R,u(x,0)=f(x),F∈F(R^n),(*)whereФ(√-△)is a pseudo-differential operator with symbolФ(|ζ|).In the present paper,assuming thatФsatisfies suitable growth conditions and the initial data in H^s(R^n),we bound the Hausdorff dimension of the sets on which the pointwise convergence of solutions to the dispersive equations(*)fails.These upper bounds of Hausdorff dimension shall be obtained via the Kolmogorov-Seliverstov-Plessner method.     

Local regularity properties for 1D mixed nonlinear Schrödinger equations on half-line

The main purpose of this paper is to consider the initial-boundary value problem for the 1D mixed nonlinear Schrödinger equation u_t={\mathrm{i}\alpha u}_{xx}+\beta u^{2-}{u}_x+\gamma {\left|u\right|}^2{u}_x+\mathrm{i}{\left|u\right|}^{2}u on the half-line with inhomogeneous boundary condition. We combine Laplace transform method with restricted norm method to prove the local well-posedness and continuous dependence on initial and boundary data in low regularity Sobolev spaces. Moreover, we show that the nonlinear part of the solution on the half-line is smoother than the initial data.     

Maximal function characterizations of Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy spaces associated with magnetic Schr?dinger operators

Let φ be a growth function, and let A:=-(?-ia)?(?-ia)+V be a magnetic Schr?dinger operator on L2(?n),n≥2, where α:=(α1,α2,?,αn)∈Lloc2(?n,?n) and 0≤V∈Lloc1(?n). We establish the equivalent characterizations of the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space HA,φ(?n), defined by the Lusin area function associated with {e-t2A}t>0, in terms of the Lusin area function associated with {e-tA}t>0, the radial maximal functions and the nontangential maximal functions associated with {e-t2A}t>0 and {e-tA}t>0, respectively. The boundedness of the Riesz transforms LkA-1/2,k∈{1,2,?,n}, from HA,φ(?n) to Lφ(?n) is also presented, where L_k is the closure of ??xk-iαk in L2(?n). These results are new even when φ(x,t):=ω(x)tp for all x∈?nand t ∈(0,+∞) with p ∈(0, 1] and ω∈A∞(?n) (the class of Muckenhoupt weights on ?n).
