On spectral characterizations of Willmore hypersurfaces in a sphere

Let M be a closed Willmore hypersurface in the sphere S^n＋1（1） （n ≥ 2） with the same mean curvature of the Willmore torus Wm,n-m, if SpecP（M） = Spec^P（Wm,n-m ） （p = 0, 1,2）, then M is Wm,n-m.     

A product quadrature algorithm by Hermite interpolation

This paper is concerned with numerical integration of ∫¹₋₁f(x)k(x)dx by product integration rules based on Hermite interpolation. Special attention is given to the kernel k(x) = e^iτx, with a view to providing high precision rules for oscillatory integrals. Convergence results and error estimates are obtained in the case where the points of integration are zeros of p_n(W; x) or of (1 − x²)p_n−2(W; x), where p_n(W; x), n = 0, 1, 2…, are the orthonormal polynomials associated with a generalized Jacobi weight W. Further, examples are given that test the performance of the algorithm for oscillatory weight functions.     

The Zariski Topology-Graph of Modules Over Commutative Rings

Let M be a module over a commutative ring, and let Spec(M) be the collection of all prime submodules of M. We topologize Spec(M) with Zariski topology, which is analogous to that for Spec(R), and for a nonempty subset T of Spec(M), we introduce a new graph G(τ _T ), called the Zariski topology-graph. This graph helps us to study the algebraic (resp. topological) properties of M (resp. Spec(M)) by using the graph theoretical tools.     

Eigenvectors and cyclic vectors of bilateral weighted shifts. II: Simply invariant subspaces

Let T be an injective bilateral weighted shift onl ² thought as "multiplication by λ" on a space of formal Laurent series L²(β). (a) If L²(β) is contained in a space of quasi-analytic class of functions, then the point spectrum σ_p(T^?) of T^? contains a circle and the cyclic invariant subspaceM _f of T generated by f is simply invariant (i.e., ∩{(T^k M _f)^?: k ≥ 0}= {0}) for each f in L²(β); (b) If L²(β) contains a non-quasi-analytic class of functions (defined on a circle г) of a certain type related with the weight sequence of T, then there exists f in L²(ß) such thatM _f is a non-trivial doubly invariant subspace (i.e., (TM _f)^? =M _f); furthermore, if г ? σ_p(T^*), then σ_p (T^*) = г and f can be chosen so that σ_p([T∣M _f]^*) = г?{α}, for some α ε г. Several examples show that the gap between operators satisfying (a) and operators satisfying (b) is rather small.     

The supercritical multitype age-dependent branching process

Let X(t) = (X₁(t),…, X_p(t)) be a p-dimensional supercritical age-dependent branching process. For an appropriate α > 0, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for X(t) e^?αt to converge to a nondegenerate random vector W. Several properties of W are also determined.     

Weyl multipliers for invariant Sobelev spaces

A concrete characterization for theL ^P -multipliers (1<p<∞) for the Weyl transform is obtained. This is used to study the Weyl multipliers for Laguerre Sobolev spacesW ^m,p (? ⁿ ). A dual space characterization is obtained for the Weyl multiplier classM _W (W _L ^m,1 (? ⁿ )).     

Strong capacity-estimates for “fractional” norms

It is proved that for all fractionall the integral \(\int\limits_0^\infty {(p,\ell ) - cap(M_t )} dt^p\) is majorized by the P-th power norm of the functionu in the space ? _p ^l (Rⁿ) (here M_t={x∶¦u(x)¦?t} and (p,l)-cap(e) is the (p,l)-capacity of the compactum e?Rⁿ). Similar results are obtained for the spaces W _p ^l (Rⁿ) and the spaces of M. Riesz and Bessel potentials. One considers consequences regarding imbedding theorems of “fractional” spaces in ?_q(dμ), whereμ is a nonnegative measure in Rⁿ. One considers specially the case p=1.     

Topologically minimal surfaces versus self-amalgamated Heegaard surfaces

Let V ∪SW be a Heegaard splitting of M,such that αM = α-W = F1 ∪ F2 and g(S) = 2g(F1)= 2g(F2). Let V * ∪S*W * be the self-amalgamation of V ∪SW. We show if d(S) 3 then S* is not a topologically minimal surface.     

On the structure of the Wishart distribution

In this paper it is shown that every nonnegative definite symmetric random matrix with independent diagonal elements and at least one nondegenerate nondiagonal element has a noninfinitely divisible distribution. Using this result it is established that every Wishart distribution W_p(k, Σ, M) with both p and rank (Σ) ≥ 2 is noninfinitely divisible. The paper also establishes that any Wishart matrix having distribution W_p(k, Σ, 0) has the joint distribution of its elements in the rth row and rth column to be infinitely divisible for every r = 1,2,…,p.     

Nonnegative functions in weighted hardy spaces

Let W be a nonnegative summable function whose logarithm is also summable with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the unit circle. For 0?<?p?<?∞ , H^p (W) denotes a weighted Hardy space on the unit circle. When W?≡?1, H ^p(W) is the usual Hardy space H^p . We are interested in H^p ( W)₊ the set of all nonnegative functions in H^p ( W). If p?≥?1/2, H^p ₊ consists of constant functions. However H^p ( W)₊ contains a nonconstant nonnegative function for some weight W. In this paper, if p?≥?1/2 we determine W and describe H^p ( W)₊ when the linear span of H^p ( W)₊ is of finite dimension. Moreover we show that the linear span of H^p (W)₊ is of infinite dimension for arbitrary weight W when 0?<?p?<?1/2.     

Density of smooth maps in Wk, p(M, N) for a close to critical domain dimension

Assuming m − 1 < kp < m, we prove that the space C ^∞(M, N) of smooth mappings between compact Riemannian manifolds M, N (m = dim M) is dense in the Sobolev space W ^k,p (M, N) if and only if π _m−1(N) = {0}. If π _m−1(N) ≠ {0}, then every mapping in W ^k,p (M, N) can still be approximated by mappings M → N which are smooth except in finitely many points.     

Approximation of classes of convolutions by linear operators of special form

A parametric family of operators G _ρ is constructed for the class of convolutions W _p,m (K) whose kernel K was generated by the moment sequence. We obtain a formula for evaluating $E(W_{p,m} (K);G_\rho )_p : = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{f \in W_{p,m} (K)} \left\| {f - G_\rho (f)} \right\|_p .$ . For the case in which W _p,m (K)=W _r,β ^p,m , we obtain an expansion in powers of the parameter ?=?ln ρ for E(W _p,m ^r,β ; G _ρ,r ) _p , where β ∈ ?, γ > 0, and m ∈ ?, while p = 1 or p = ∞.     

ABSTRACT CAPACITY OF REGIONS AND COMPACT EMBEDDING WITH APPLICATIONS

The weighted Sobolev-Lions type spaces W pl,γ(Ω; E0, E) = W pl,γ(Ω; E) ∩ Lp,γ (Ω; E0) are studied, where E0, E are two Banach spaces and E0 is continuously and densely embedded on E. A new concept of capacity of region Ω∈ Rn in W pl,γ(; E0, E) is introduced. Several conditions in terms of capacity of region Ω and interpolations of E0 and E are found such that ensure the continuity and compactness of embedding operators. In particular, the most regular class of interpolation spaces Eα between E0 and E, depending of α and l, are found such that mixed differential operators Dα are bounded and compact from W pl,γ(Ω; E0, E) to Eα-valued Lp,γ spaces. In applications, the maximal regularity for differential-operator equations with parameters are studied.     

New Partial Difference Sets in Ztp2 and a Related Problem about Galois Rings

We generalize a construction of partial difference sets (PDS) by Chen, Ray-Chaudhuri, and Xiang through a study of the Teichmüller sets of the Galois rings. Let R=GR(p², t) be the Galois ring of characteristic p² and rank t with Teichmüller set T and let π:R→R/pR be the natural homomorphism. We give a construction of PDS in R with the parameters ν=p^2t, k=r(p^t−1), λ=p^t+r²−3r, μ=r²−r, where r=lp^{t−s(p, t)}, 1≤l≤p^{s(p, t)}, and s(p, t) is the largest dimension of a GF(p)-subspace W⊂R/pR such that π⁻¹(W)∩T generates a subgroup of R of rank <t. We prove that s(p, t) is the largest dimension of a GF(p)-subspace W of GF(p^t) such that dim W^p<t, where W^p is the GF(p)-space generated by {∏^p_i=1w_i∣w_i∈W, 1≤i≤p}. We determine the values of s(p, t) completely and solve a general problem about dim_EW^r for an E-vector space W in a finite extension of a finite field E. The PDS constructed here contain the family constructed by Chen, Ray-Chaudhuri, and Xiang and have a wider range of parameters.     

Marriage in denumerable societies

A society is an ordered triple (M, W, K) of sets such that M, W are disjoint and K ? M × W. An espousal of (M, W, K) is a subset of K of the form {(a, e(a)) : a ∈ M} where e(a₁) ≠ e(a₂) whenever a₁ ≠ a₂. If M is countable, we associate with (M, W, K) and each ordinal α a function m_α from the set of subsets of W into the union of the set of integers and {? ∞, ∞}. Three different definitions of m_α (all fairly elaborate) are presented and their equivalence under suitable conditions is proved. Assuming M to be countable, we prove that (i) (M, W, K) has an espousal if and only if $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\Omega }}\text{(X) ? 0}$ for every subset X of W, where Ω is the first uncountable ordinal, and (ii) if X ? W and α ? β and m_α(X) < ∞ and m_α(Z) ? 0 for every subset Z of X then m_α(Z) = m_β(Z) for every subset Z of X. The result (i) is a theorem of Damerell and Milner, but the proof here presented differs somewhat in formulation and structure from theirs.     

The least degree of identities in the subspace M 1 (m,k) (F) of the matrix superalgebra M (m,k)(F)

We determine the least degree of identities in the subspace M ₁ ^(m,k) (F) of the matrix superalgebra M ^(m,k)(F) over a field F for arbitrary m and k. For the subspace M ₁ ^(m,k) (F) (k > 1) we obtain concrete minimal identities and generalize some results by Chang and Domokos.     

THREE NOTES ON NICE EXTENSION DOMAINS

The first note shows that the integral closure L′ of certain localities L over a local domain R are unmixed and analytically unramified, even when it is not assumed that R has these properties. The second note considers a separably generated extension domain B of a regular domain A, and a sufficient condition is given for a prime ideal p in A to be unramified with respect to B (that is, p B is an intersection of prime ideals and B/P is separably generated over A/p for all P ∈ Ass (B/p B)). Then, assuming that p satisfies this condition, a sufficient condition is given in order that all but finitely many q ∈ S = {q ∈ Spec(A), p ? q and height(q/p) = 1} are unramified with respect to B, and a form of the converse is also considered. The third note shows that if R′ is the integral closure of a semi-local domain R, then I(R) = ∩{R′ _p′ ;p′ ∈ Spec(R′) and altitude(R′/p′) = altitude(R′) ? 1} is a quasi-semi-local Krull domain such that: (a) height(N ^*) = altitude(R) for each maximal ideal N ^* in I(R); and, (b) I(R) is an H-domain (that is, altitude(I(R)/p ^*) = altitude(I(R)) ? 1 for all height one p ^* ∈ Spec(I(R))). Also, K = ∩{R _p ; p ∈ Spec(R) and altitude(R/p) = altitude(R) ? 1} is a quasi-semi-local H-domain such that height (N) = altitude(R) for all maximal ideals N in K.
