Let be a holomorphic foliation with ample canonical bundle on a smooth projective surface X. We obtain an upper bound on the order of its automorphism group which depends only on and provided this group is finite. Here, and are the canonical bundles of and X, respectively.     

Bilinear decompositions for the product space

In this paper, we improve a recent result by Li and Peng on products of functions in and , where is a Schrödinger operator with V satisfying an appropriate reverse Hölder inequality. More precisely, we prove that such products may be written as the sum of two continuous bilinear operators, one from into , the other one from into , where the space is the set of distributions f whose grand maximal function satisfies      

On an elementary operator with M‐hyponormal operator entries

A Hilbert space operator is M‐hyponormal if there exists a positive real number M such that for all . Let be M‐hyponormal and let denote either the generalized derivation or the elementary operator . We prove that if are M‐hyponormal, then satisfies the generalized Weyl's theorem and satisfies the generalized a‐Weyl's theorem for every f that is analytic on a neighborhood of .     

A refinement of the Hodge stratification for connected reductive groups

For connected reductive groups G over a finite extension F of and L the maximal unramified extension of F we study the sets of elements with given Hodge points . We explain the relationship to stratifications of some moduli scheme of abelian varieties defined by Goren and Oort respectively Andreatta and Goren. We show that for sufficiently large N the Newton point is constant on the sets and compute such N for certain classes of groups.     

Volume estimates for sections of certain convex bodies

This paper deals with volume estimates for hyperplane sections of the simplex and for m‐codimensional sections of powers of m‐dimensional Euclidean balls. In the first part we consider sections through the centroid of the n‐dimensional regular simplex. We state a volume formula and give a lower bound for the volume of sections through the centroid. In the second part we study the extremal volumes of m‐codimensional sections “perpendicular” to of unit balls in the space for all . We give volume formulas and use them to show that the normal vector (1, 0, …, 0) yields the minimal volume. Furthermore we give an upper bound for the ‐dimensional volumes for natural numbers . This bound is asymptotically attained for the normal vector as .     

Determinants of classical SG‐pseudodifferential operators

We introduce a generalized trace functional TR in the spirit of Kontsevich and Vishik's canonical trace for classical SG‐pseudodifferential operators on and suitable manifolds, using a finite‐part integral regularization technique. This allows us to define a zeta‐regularized determinant for parameter‐elliptic operators , , . For , the asymptotics of as and of as are derived. For suitable pairs we show that coincides with the so‐called relative determinant .     

Cohomological characterisation of monads

Let X be an n‐dimensional smooth projective variety with an n‐block collection , with , of coherent sheaves on X that generate the bounded derived category . We give a cohomological characterisation of torsion‐free sheaves on X that are the cohomology of monads of the form where . We apply the result to get a cohomological characterisation when X is the projective space, the smooth hyperquadric or the Fano threefold V₅. We construct a family of monads on a Segre variety and apply our main result to this family.     

On the frame bundle adapted to a submanifold

Let M be a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold . M induces a subbundle of adapted frames over M of the bundle of orthonormal frames . The Riemannian metric g induces a natural metric on . We study the geometry of a submanifold in . We characterize the horizontal distribution of and state its correspondence with the horizontal lift in induced by the Levi–Civita connection on N. In the case of extrinsic geometry, we show that minimality is equivalent to harmonicity of the Gauss map of the submanifold M with a deformed Riemannian metric. In the case of intrinsic geometry we compute the curvatures and compare this geometry with the geometry of M.     

On massive sets for subordinated random walks

We study massive (reccurent) sets with respect to a certain random walk defined on the integer lattice , . Our random walk is obtained from the simple random walk S on by the procedure of discrete subordination. can be regarded as a discrete space and time counterpart of the symmetric α‐stable Lévy process in . In the case we show that some remarkable proper subsets of , e.g. the set of primes, are massive whereas some proper subsets of such as the Leitmann primes are massive/non‐massive depending on the function h. Our results can be regarded as an extension of the results of McKean (1961) about massiveness of the set of primes for the simple random walk in . In the case we study massiveness of thorns and their proper subsets. The case is presented in the recent paper Bendikov and Cygan 2 .     

Regularity theory for a class of quasilinear equations

This paper addresses the analysis of the weak solution of in a bounded domain Ω subject to the boundary condition on , when the data f belongs to and .

Subgroups and homology of extensions of centralizers of pro‐p groups

We study the growth of , where U is an open subgroup of and is a special class of pro‐p groups defined in 7 . Furthermore for non‐abelian we prove the core property: for pro‐p subgroups such that H is finitely generated and N is non‐trivial normal in G the index is always finite.     

A Mehta–Ramanathan theorem for linear systems with basepoints

Let be a normal complex projective polarized variety and an H‐semistable sheaf on X. We prove that the restriction to a sufficiently positive general complete intersection curve passing through a prescribed finite set of points remains semistable, provided that at each , the variety X is smooth and the factors of a Jordan–Hölder filtration of are locally free. As an application, we obtain a generalization of Miyaoka's generic semipositivity theorem.

Classification of Laguerre isoparametric hypersurfaces in

Let be an ‐dimensional hypersurface in and be the Laguerre second fundamental form of the immersion x. An eigenvalue of Laguerre second fundamental form is called a Laguerre principal curvature of x. An umbilic free hypersurface with non‐zero principal curvatures and vanishing Laguerre form is called a Laguerre isoparametric hypersurface if the Laguerre principal curvatures of x are constants. In this paper, we obtain a complete classification for all oriented Laguerre isoparametric hypersurfaces in .     

Riesz minimal energy problems on ‐manifolds

In , , we study the constructive and numerical solution of minimizing the energy relative to the Riesz kernel , where , for the Gauss variational problem, considered for finitely many compact, mutually disjoint, boundaryless ‐dimensional ‐manifolds , , where , each being charged with Borel measures with the sign prescribed. We show that the Gauss variational problem over a convex set of Borel measures can alternatively be formulated as a minimum problem over the corresponding set of surface distributions belonging to the Sobolev–Slobodetski space , where and . An equivalent formulation leads in the case of two manifolds to a nonlinear system of boundary integral equations involving simple layer potential operators on Γ. A corresponding numerical method is based on the Galerkin–Bubnov discretization with piecewise constant boundary elements. Wavelet matrix compression is applied to sparsify the system matrix. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the approach.     

Elliptic Yang–Mills flow theory

We lay the foundations of a Morse homology on the space of connections on a principal G‐bundle over a compact manifold Y, based on a newly defined gauge‐invariant functional on . While the critical points of correspond to Yang–Mills connections on P, its L²‐gradient gives rise to a novel system of elliptic equations. This contrasts previous approaches to a study of the Yang–Mills functional via a parabolic gradient flow. We carry out the analytical details of our programme in the case of a compact two‐dimensional base manifold Y. We furthermore discuss its relation to the well‐developed parabolic Morse homology over closed surfaces. Finally, an application of our elliptic theory is given to three‐dimensional product manifolds .
