On Asymptotic Behavior for Singularities of the Powers of Mean Curvature Flow

Let M^n be a smooth, compact manifold without boundary, and F0 ： M^n→ R^n＋1 a smooth immersion which is convex. The one-parameter families F（·, t） ： M^n× [0, T） → R^n＋1 of hypersurfaces Mt^n= F（·,t）（M^n） satisfy an initial value problem dF/dt （·,t） = -H^k（· ,t）v（· ,t）, F（· ,0） = F0（· ）, where H is the mean curvature and u（·,t） is the outer unit normal at F（·, t）, such that -Hu = H is the mean curvature vector, and k 〉 0 is a constant. This problem is called H^k-fiow. Such flow will develop singularities after finite time. According to the blow-up rate of the square norm of the second fundamental forms, the authors analyze the structure of the rescaled limit by classifying the singularities as two types, i.e., Type Ⅰ and Type Ⅱ. It is proved that for Type Ⅰ singularity, the limiting hypersurface satisfies an elliptic equation; for Type Ⅱ singularity, the limiting hypersurface must be a translating soliton.     

On Chow and Brauer groups of a product of Mumford curves

Let C₁,···,C_d be Mumford curves defined over a finite extension of and let X=C₁×···×C_d. We shall show the following: (1) The cycle map CH₀(X)/n → H^2d(X, μ_n^⊗d) is injective for any non-zero integer n. (2) The kernel of the canonical map CH₀(X)→Hom(Br(X),) (defined by the Brauer-Manin pairing) coincides with the maximal divisible subgroup in CH₀(X).     

Keldysh-Sedov formulas and differentiability with respect to the parameter of families of univalent functions inn-connected domains

We introduce families of functionsF _j(w, t) mapping (n+1)-connected domains onto circular domains in thez-plane. Denote by _j (z, t) the families of functions inverse toF _j(w, t). Theorems 1–4 treat differentiability properties of these families with respect tot at a pointt=t ₀. We present formulas for the first derivative with respect tot. Corollaries of the theorems obtained are given. As a particular case, we deduce the theorem due to Kufarev for the disk and the theorem of Kufarev and Genina (Semukhina) for the annulus.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 58, No. 6, pp. 878–889, December, 1995.     

Deciding finiteness for matrix groups over function fields

LetF be a field andt an indeterminate. In this paper we consider aspects of the problem of deciding if a finitely generated subgroup of GL(n,F(t)) is finite. WhenF is a number field, the analysis may be easily reduced to deciding finiteness for subgroups of GL(n,F), for which the results of [1] can be applied. WhenF is a finite field, the situation is more subtle. In this case our main results are a structure theorem generalizing a theorem of Weil and upper bounds on the size of a finite subgroup generated by a fixed number of generators with examples of constructions almost achieving the bounds. We use these results to then give exponential deterministic algorithms for deciding finiteness as well as some preliminary results towards more efficient randomized algorithms.

Involution codimensions and trace codimensions of matrices are asymptotically equal

We calculate the asymptotic growth oft _n (M _p (F),*) andc _n (M _p (F),*), the trace and ordinary *-codimensions ofp×p matrices with involution. To do this we first calculate the asymptotic growth oft _n and then show thatc _n ⋍t _n . In memory of Shimshon Amitsur, our teacher and our friend Work supported by NSF grant DMS 9303230.

CO‐irredundant Ramsey numbers for graphs

The study of the CO‐irredundant Ramsey numbers t(n₁, ···, n_k) is initiated. It is shown that several values and bounds for these numbers may be obtained from the well‐studied generalized graph Ramsey numbers and the values of t(4, 5), t(4, 6) and t(3, 3, m) are calculated. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Sums of lengtht in Abelian groups

LetG be an Abelian group written additively,B a finite subset ofG, and lett be a positive integer. Fort≦|B|, letB _t denote the set of sums oft distinct elements overB. Furthermore, letK be a subgroup ofG and let σ denote the canonical homomorphism σ:G→G/K. WriteB _t (modB _t) forB _tσ and writeB _t (modK) forBσ. The following addition theorem in groups is proved. LetG be an Abelian group with no 2-torsion and letB a be finite subset ofG. Ift is a positive integer such thatt<|B| then |B _t (modK)|≧|B (modK)| for any finite subgroupK ofG.     

On thin-complete ideals of subsets of groups

Let F ì P_G \mathcal{F} \subset {\mathcal{P}_G} be a left-invariant lower family of subsets of a group G. A subset A ⊂ G is called F \mathcal{F} -thin if xA ?yA ? F xA \cap yA \in \mathcal{F} for any distinct elements x, y ∈ G. The family of all F \mathcal{F} -thin subsets of G is denoted by t( F ) \tau \left( \mathcal{F} \right) . If t( F ) = F \tau \left( \mathcal{F} \right) = \mathcal{F} , then F \mathcal{F} is called thin-complete. The thin-completion t^*( F ) {\tau^*}\left( \mathcal{F} \right) of F \mathcal{F} is the smallest thin-complete subfamily of P_G {\mathcal{P}_G} that contains F \mathcal{F} . Answering questions of Lutsenko and Protasov, we prove that a set A ⊂ G belongs to τ*(G) if and only if, for any sequence (g _n ) _n∈ω of nonzero elements of G, there is n ∈ ω such that

Random ergodic theorems and real cocycles

We study mean convergence of ergodic averages associated to a measure-preserving transformation or flow τ along the random sequence of times κ _n (ω) given by the Birkhoff sums of a measurable functionF for an ergodic measure-preserving transformationT. We prove that the sequence (k _n(ω)) is almost surely universally good for the mean ergodic theorem, i.e., that, for almost every, ω, the averages (*) converge for every choice of τ, if and only if the “cocycle”F satisfies a cohomological condition, equivalent to saying that the eigenvalue group of the “associated flow” ofF is countable. We show that this condition holds in many natural situations. When no assumption is made onF, the random sequence (k _n(ω)) is almost surely universally good for the mean ergodic theorem on the class of mildly mixing transformations τ. However, for any aperiodic transformationT, we are able to construct an integrable functionF for which the sequence (k _n(ω)) is not almost surely universally good for the class of weakly mixing transformations.     

On the torsion in K_2 of a field

For a field F,let Gn(F) = {{a,Φn(a)} ∈ K2(F) | a,Φn(a) ∈ F*},where Φn(x) is the n-th cyclotomic polynomial.At first,by using Faltings' theorem on Mordell conjecture it is proved that if F is a number field and if n = 4,8,12 is a positive integer having a square factor then Gn(F) is not a subgroup of K2(F),and then by using the results of Manin,Grauert,Samuel and Li on Mordell conjecture theorem for function fields,a similar result is established for function fields over an algebraically closed field.     

A multipoint method of third order

LetF be a mapping of the Banach spaceX into itself. A convergence theorem for the iterative solution ofF(x)=0 is proved for the multipoint algorithmx _n+1=x _n ?ø(x _n ), where $$\phi (x) = F\prime_x^{ - 1} \left[ {F(x) + F\lgroup {x - F\prime_x^{ - 1} F(x)} \rgroup} \right]$$ andF′x is the Frechet derivative ofF. The theorem guarantees that, under appropriate conditions onF, the multipoint sequence {x _n } generated by ø converges cubically to a zero ofF. The algorithm is applied to the nonlinear Chandrasekhar integral equation $$\frac{1}{2}\omega _0 x(t)\int_0^1 {\frac{{tx(s)}}{{s + t}}ds - x(t) + 1 = 0}$$ where ω₀>0. A discretization of the equations of iteration is discussed, and some numerical results are given.     

Relation between frobenius and 2-frobenius groups with order components of finite groups

IfG is a finite group, we define its prime graph Г(G), as follows: its vertices are the primes dividing the order ofG and two verticesp, q are joined by an edge, if there is an element inG of orderpq. We denote the set of all the connected components of the graph Г(G) by T(G)= {π_i(G), fori = 1,2, …,t(G)}, where t(G) is the number of connected components of Г(G). We also denote by π(n) the set of all primes dividingn, wheren is a natural number. Then ¦G¦ can be expressed as a product of m₁, m₂, …, m_t(G), where m_i’s are positive integers with π(m_i) = π_i. Thesem _i ’s are called the order components ofG. LetOC(G) := {m ₁,m ₂, …,m _t (G)} be the set of order components ofG. In this paper we prove that, if G is a finite group andOC(G) =OC(M), where M is a finite simple group witht(M) ≥ 2, thenG is neither Frobenius nor 2-Frobenius.

The characterization of zero-sum (mod 2) bipartite Ramsey numbers

Let G be a bipartite graph, with k|e(G). The zero-sum bipartite Ramsey number B(G, Z_k) is the smallest integer t such that in every Z_k-coloring of the edges of K_t,t, there is a zero-sum mod k copy of G in K_t,t. In this article we give the first proof that determines B(G, Z₂) for all possible bipartite graphs G. In fact, we prove a much more general result from which B(G, Z₂) can be deduced: Let G be a (not necessarily connected) bipartite graph, which can be embedded in K_n,n, and let F be a field. A function f : E(K_n,n) → F is called G-stable if every copy of G in K_n,n has the same weight (the weight of a copy is the sum of the values of f on its edges). The set of all G-stable functions, denoted by U(G, K_n,n, F) is a linear space, which is called the K_n,n uniformity space of G over F. We determine U(G, K_n,n, F) and its dimension, for all G, n and F. Utilizing this result in the case F = Z₂, we can compute B(G, Z₂), for all bipartite graphs G. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J.

CONGRUENCE SUBGROUPS AND TWISTED COHOMOLOGY OF SLn (F[t]). II. FINITE FIELDS AND NUMBER FIELDS

Let K be the subgroup of SL _n (F[t]) consisting of matrices congruent to the identity modulo t. In [7] Knudson, K. 1998. Congruence Subgroups and Twisted Cohomology of SL_n(F[t]). J. Algebra, 207: 695–721.  [Google Scholar], the author conjectured that if F is a finite field, then H ₁(K) is the adjoint representation s l _n (F). A proof of this conjecture is provided in this note. The argument also works in case F is a number field. Applications to the cohomology of SL _n (F[t]) are included as is the study of the analogous question for SL _n (F[t, t ^?1]).     

Free subgroups of small cancellation groups

In this paper we give a simple proof of Collin’s theorem concerning free subgroups ofC(4),T(4) groups. Our proof actually shows that a slenderT(4) presentation 〈x ₁,x ₂, …,x _n ;r〉 has a free subgroup of rank 2 provided there is a subset {a, b, c} of {x ₁,x ₂, …,x _n } with the property that any non-empty freely reduced word ina, b, c equal to 1 inG has a subword of length 2 contained in an element ofr*.     

A theorem of the Wiener—Tauberian type forL 1(H n)

The Heisenberg motion groupHM(n), which is a semi-direct product of the Heisenberg group Hⁿ and the unitary group U(n), acts on Hⁿ in a natural way. Here we prove a Wiener-Tauberian theorem for L¹ (Hⁿ) with this HM(n)-action on Hⁿ i.e. we give conditions on the “group theoretic” Fourier transform of a functionf in L¹ (Hⁿ) in order that the linear span of^gf : g∈HM(n) is dense in L¹(Hⁿ), where^gf(z, t) =f(g·(z, t)), forg ∈ HM(n), (z,t)∈Hⁿ.
