Classification of cyclic codes over a non-Galois chain ring Zp[u]/〈u3〉

We explicitly determine generators of cyclic codes over a non-Galois finite chain ring ${\mathbb{Z}}_p[u]/〈u^3〉$ of length $p^k$, where p is a prime number and k is a positive integer. We completely classify that there are three types of principal ideals of ${\mathbb{Z}}_p[u]/〈u^3〉$ and four types of non-principal ideals of ${\mathbb{Z}}_p[u]/〈u^3〉$, which are associated with cyclic codes over ${\mathbb{Z}}_p[u]/〈u^3〉$ of length $p^k$. We then obtain a mass formula for cyclic codes over ${\mathbb{Z}}_p[u]/〈u^3〉$ of length $p^k$.     

Time-frequency analysis on the adeles over the rationals

We show that the construction of Gabor frames in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ with generators in ${\mathbf{S}}_0(\mathbb{R})$ and with respect to time-frequency shifts from a rectangular lattice $\alpha \mathbb{Z}\times \beta \mathbb{Z}$ is equivalent to the construction of certain Gabor frames for $L^2$ over the adeles over the rationals and the group $\mathbb{R}\times {\mathbb{Q}}_p$. Furthermore, we detail the connection between the construction of Gabor frames on the adeles and on $\mathbb{R}\times {\mathbb{Q}}_p$ with the construction of certain Heisenberg modules.     

The Z2-orbifold of the universal affine vertex algebra

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple, finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra, and let $V^k(\mathfrak{g})$ denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to $\mathfrak{g}$ at level k. The Cartan involution on $\mathfrak{g}$ lifts to an involution on $V^k(\mathfrak{g})$, and we denote by $V^k{(\mathfrak{g})}^{{\mathbb{Z}}_2}$ the orbifold, or fixed-point subalgebra, under this involution. Our main result is an explicit minimal strong finite generating set for $V^k{(\mathfrak{g})}^{{\mathbb{Z}}_2}$ for generic values of k.     

The Whitehead group of (almost) extra-special p-groups with p odd

Let p be an odd prime number. We describe the Whitehead group of all extra-special and almost extra-special p-groups. For this we compute, for any finite p-group P, the subgroup $C{l}_1(\mathbb{Z}P)$ of $S{K}_1(\mathbb{Z}P)$, in terms of a genetic basis of P. We also introduce a deflation map $C{l}_1(\mathbb{Z}P)\to C{l}_1(\mathbb{Z}(P/N))$, for a normal subgroup N of P, and show that it is always surjective. Along the way, we give a new proof of the result describing the structure of $S{K}_1(\mathbb{Z}P)$, when P is an elementary abelian p-group.     

The Hilbert series and a-invariant of circle invariants

Let V be a finite-dimensional representation of the complex circle ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$ determined by a weight vector $\mathit{a}\in {\mathbb{Z}}^n$. We study the Hilbert series ${\mathrm{Hilb}}_{\mathit{a}}(t)$ of the graded algebra $\mathbb{C}{[V]}^{{\mathbb{C}}_{\mathit{a}}^{\times }}$ of polynomial ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$-invariants in terms of the weight vector a of the ${\mathbb{C}}^{\times }$-action. In particular, we give explicit formulas for ${\mathrm{Hilb}}_{\mathit{a}}(t)$ as well as the first four coefficients of the Laurent expansion of ${\mathrm{Hilb}}_{\mathit{a}}(t)$ at $t=1$. The naive formulas for these coefficients have removable singularities when weights pairwise coincide. Identifying these cancelations, the Laurent coefficients are expressed using partial Schur polynomials that are independently symmetric in two sets of variables. We similarly give an explicit formula for the a-invariant of $\mathbb{C}{[V]}^{{\mathbb{C}}_{\mathit{a}}^{\times }}$ in the case that this algebra is Gorenstein. As an application, we give methods to identify weight vectors with Gorenstein and non-Gorenstein invariant algebras.     

Non-integrated defect relation for meromorphic mappings on Kähler manifolds intersecting non-subdegenerate families of hyperplanes

Let M be a complete Kähler manifold, whose universal covering is biholomorphic to a ball ${\mathbb{B}}^m(R_0)$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^m$ ($0<R_0\le +\infty$). Our purpose of this article is to establish a non-integrated defect relation with truncated level for a meromorphic mapping on M intersecting a family of hyperplanes in ${\mathbb{P}}^n(\mathbb{C})$ which is non-subdegenerate with respect to the mapping.     

Galois LCD codes over mixed alphabets

In this work we give a characterization of Galois Linear Complementary Dual codes and Galois-invariant codes over mixed alphabets of finite chain rings, which leads to the study of the Gray image of ${\mathbb{F}}_p{\mathbb{F}}_p[\theta ]$-linear codes, where $p\in \{2;3\}$ and $\theta \ne {\theta }^2=0$ that provides LCD codes over ${\mathbb{F}}_p$.     

On invariant fields of vectors and covectors

Let ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ be the finite field of order q. Let G be one of the three groups $\mathrm{GL}(n,{\mathbb{F}}_q)$, $\mathrm{SL}(n,{\mathbb{F}}_q)$ or $\mathrm{U}(n,{\mathbb{F}}_q)$ and let W be the standard n-dimensional representation of G. For non-negative integers m and d we let $mW\oplus d{W}^{?}$ denote the representation of G given by the direct sum of m vectors and d covectors. We exhibit a minimal set of homogeneous invariant polynomials $\{{?}_1,{?}_2,\dots ,{?}_{(m+d)n}\}?{\mathbb{F}}_q{[mW\oplus d{W}^{?}]}^G$ such that ${\mathbb{F}}_q{(mW\oplus d{W}^{?})}^G={\mathbb{F}}_q({?}_1,{?}_2,\dots ,{?}_{(m+d)n})$ for all cases except when $md=0$ and $G=\mathrm{GL}(n,{\mathbb{F}}_q)$ or $\mathrm{SL}(n,{\mathbb{F}}_q)$.     

Perfect squares representing the number of rational points on elliptic curves over finite field extensions

Let q be a perfect power of a prime number p and $E({\mathbb{F}}_q)$ be an elliptic curve over ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ given by the equation $y^2=x^3+Ax+B$. For a positive integer n we denote by $\mathrm{\#}E({\mathbb{F}}_{q^n})$ the number of rational points on E (including infinity) over the extension ${\mathbb{F}}_{q^n}$. Under a mild technical condition, we show that the sequence ${\{\mathrm{\#}E({\mathbb{F}}_{q^n})\}}_{n>0}$ contains at most 10²⁰⁰ perfect squares. If the mild condition is not satisfied, then $\mathrm{\#}E({\mathbb{F}}_{q^n})$ is a perfect square for infinitely many n including all the multiples of 12. Our proof uses a quantitative version of the Subspace Theorem. We also find all the perfect squares for all such sequences in the range $q<50$ and $n\le 1000$.     

The Orlicz inequality for multilinear forms

The Orlicz $({?}_2,{?}_1)$-mixed inequality states that${\left(\sum _{j_1=1}^n{\left(\sum _{j_2=1}^n|A(e_{j_1},e_{j_2})|\right)}^2\right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}\le \sqrt{2}6A6$ for all bilinear forms $A:{\mathbb{K}}^n\times {\mathbb{K}}^n\to \mathbb{K}$ and all positive integers n, where ${\mathbb{K}}^n$ denotes ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ or ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ endowed with the supremum norm. In this paper we extend this inequality to multilinear forms, with ${\mathbb{K}}^n$ endowed with ${?}_p$ norms for all $p\in [1,\infty ]$.
