Dynamics of Concentration in a Population Model Structured by Age and a Phenotypical Trait

In this paper, we consider the initial-boundary value problem of the two-species chemotaxis Keller-Segel model

$$\begin{aligned} \textstyle\begin{cases} u_{t}=\Delta u-\chi_{1}\nabla \cdot (u\nabla w), &x\in \varOmega , \ t>0, \\ v_{t}=\Delta v-\chi_{2}\nabla \cdot (v\nabla w), &x\in \varOmega , \ t>0, \\ 0=\Delta w-\gamma w+\alpha_{1}u+\alpha_{2}v, &x\in \varOmega , \ t>0, \end{cases}\displaystyle \end{aligned}$$

where the parameters \(\chi_{1}\), \(\chi_{2}\), \(\alpha_{1}\), \(\alpha_{2}\), \(\gamma \) are positive constants, \(\varOmega \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary. We obtain the results for finite time blow-up and global bounded as follows: (1) For any fixed \(x_{0}\in \varOmega \), if \(\chi_{1}\alpha_{2}= \chi_{2}\alpha_{1}\), \(\int_{\varOmega }(u_{0}+v_{0})|x-x_{0}|^{2}dx\) is sufficiently small, and \(\int_{\varOmega }(u_{0}+v_{0})dx>\frac{8\pi ( \chi_{1}\alpha_{1}+\chi_{2}\alpha_{2})}{\chi_{1}\alpha_{1}\chi_{2} \alpha_{2}}\), then the nonradial solution of the two-species Keller-Segel model blows up in finite time. Moreover, if \(\varOmega \) is a convex domain, we find a lower bound for the blow-up time; (2) If \(\|u_{0}\|_{L^{1}(\varOmega )}\) and \(\|v_{0}\|_{L^{1}( \varOmega )}\) lie below some thresholds, respectively, then the solution exists globally and remains bounded.

     

Global Existence of Heat-Conductive Incompressible Viscous Fluids

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of non-stationary motion of heat-conducting incompressible viscous fluids in \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\), where the viscosity and heat-conductivity coefficient vary with the temperature. It is shown that the Cauchy problem has a unique global-in-time strong solution \((u, \theta)(x,t)\) on \(\mathbb{R}^{2}\times(0,\infty)\), provided the initial norm \(\|\nabla u_{0}\|_{L^{2}}\) is suitably small, or the lower-bound of the coefficient of heat conductivity (i.e. \(\underline{\kappa}\)) is large enough, or the derivative of viscosity (i.e. \(|\mu'(\theta)|\)) is small enough.     

Convergence and Precise Asymptotics for Series Involving Self-normalized Sums

Let \(X, X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots \) be i.i.d. random variables, and set \(S_{n}=X_{1}+\cdots +X_{n}\) and \( V_{n}^{2}=X_{1}^{2}+\cdots +X_{n}^{2}.\) Without any moment conditions on \(X\), assuming that \(\{S_{n}/V_{n}\}\) is tight, we establish convergence of series of the type (*) \(\sum \nolimits _{n}w_{n}P(\left| S_{n}\right| /V_{n}\ge \varepsilon b_{n}),\) \(\varepsilon >0.\) Then, assuming that \(X\) is symmetric and belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law, and choosing \(w_{n}\) and \(b_{n}\) suitably\(,\) we derive the precise asymptotic behavior of the series (*) as \(\varepsilon \searrow 0. \)     

On geometric properties of the generating function for the Ramanujan sequence

The Ramanujan sequence \(\{\theta _{n}\}_{n \ge 0}\), defined as \(\theta _{0}= {1}/{2}\), \({n^{n}} \theta _{n}/{n !} = {e^{n}}/{2} - \sum _{k=0}^{n-1} {n^{k}}/{k !}\, \), \(n \ge 1\), has been studied on many occasions and in many different contexts. Adell and Jodrá (Ramanujan J 16:1–5, 2008) and Koumandos (Ramanujan J 30:447–459, 2013) showed, respectively, that the sequences \(\{\theta _{n}\}_{n \ge 0}\) and \(\{4/135 - n \cdot (\theta _{n}- 1/3 )\}_{n \ge 0}\) are completely monotone. In the present paper, we establish that the sequence \(\{(n+1) (\theta _{n}- 1/3 )\}_{n \ge 0}\) is also completely monotone. Furthermore, we prove that the analytic function \((\theta _{1}- 1/3 )^{-1}\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } (\theta _{n}- 1/3 ) z^{n} / n^{\alpha }\) is universally starlike for every \(\alpha \ge 1\) in the slit domain \(\mathbb {C}\setminus [1,\infty )\). This seems to be the first result putting the Ramanujan sequence into the context of analytic univalent functions and is a step towards a previous stronger conjecture, proposed by Ruscheweyh et al. (Israel J Math 171:285–304, 2009), namely that the function \((\theta _{1}- 1/3 )^{-1}\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } (\theta _{n}- 1/3 ) z^{n} \) is universally convex.     

The solution gap of the Brezis–Nirenberg problem on the hyperbolic space

We consider the positive solutions of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem \(-\Delta _{\mathbb {H}^n} u = \lambda u + u^p, \) with \(p=\frac{n+2}{n-2}\) and \(u \in H_0^1(\Omega ),\) where \(\Omega \) is a geodesic ball of radius \(\theta _1\) on \(\mathbb {H}^n.\) For radial solutions, this equation can be written as an ordinary differential equation having n as a parameter. In this setting, the problem can be extended to consider real values of n. We show that if \(2<n<4\) this problem has a unique positive solution if and only if \(\lambda \in \left( n(n-2)/4 +L^*\,,\, \lambda _1\right) .\) Here \(L^*\) is the first positive value of \(L = -\ell (\ell +1)\) for which a suitably defined associated Legendre function \(P_{\ell }^{-\alpha }(\cosh \theta ) >0\) if \(0 < \theta <\theta _1\) and \(P_{\ell }^{-\alpha }(\cosh \theta _1)=0,\) with \(\alpha = (2-n)/2\).     

On the Dilation of Truncated Toeplitz Operators

An operator \(S_{\varphi ,\psi }^{u}\in \mathcal {L}(L^2)\) is called the dilation of a truncated Toeplitz operator if for two symbols \(\varphi ,\psi \in L^{\infty }\) and an inner function u,

$$\begin{aligned} S_{\varphi ,\psi }^{u}f=\varphi P_uf+\psi Q_uf \end{aligned}$$

holds for \(f\in {L}^{2}\) where \(P_{u}\) denotes the orthogonal projection of \(L^2\) onto the model space \(\mathcal { K}_{u}^2=H^2{\ominus }{{u}H^2}\) and \(Q_u=I-P_u.\) In this paper, we study properties of the dilation of truncated Toeplitz operators on \(L^{2}\). In particular, we provide conditions for the dilation of truncated Toeplitz operators to be normal. As some applications, we give several examples of such operators.

     

Spectrality of infinite convolutions with three-element digit sets

Let \(0< \rho <1\) and let \(\{a_n, b_n\}_{n=1}^\infty \) be a sequence of integers with bounded from upper and lower. Associated with them there exists a unique Borel probability measure \(\mu _{\rho , \{0, a_n, b_n\}}\) generated by the following infinite convolution product

$$\begin{aligned} \mu _{\rho , \{0, a_n, b_n\}}=\delta _{\rho \{0, a_1, b_1\}} *\delta _{\rho ^2 \{0, a_2, b_2\}} *\delta _{\rho ^3 \{0, a_3, b_3\}} *\cdots \end{aligned}$$

in the weak convergence, where \(\delta _E=\frac{1}{\# E}\sum _{e \in E} \delta _e\) and \(\hbox {gcd}(a_n, b_n)=1\) for all \(n \in {{\mathbb {N}}}\). In this paper, we show that \(L^2(\mu _{\rho , \{0, a_n, b_n\}})\) admits an exponential orthonormal basis if and only if \(\rho ^{-1} \in 3{{\mathbb {N}}}\) and  \(\{a_n, b_n\} \equiv \{1, 2\} \ (\mathrm {mod} \ 3)\) for all \(n \in {{\mathbb {N}}}\).

     

Gravitational Field Equations on Fefferman Space–Times

The total space \({\mathfrak M} \approx {\mathbb H}_1 \times S^1\) of the canonical circle bundle over the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group \({\mathbb H}_1\) is a space–time with the Lorentzian metric \(F_{\theta _0}\) (Fefferman’s metric) associated to the canonical Tanaka–Webster flat contact form \(\theta _0\) on \({\mathbb H}_1\). The matter and energy content of \(\mathfrak M\) is described by the energy-momentum tensor \({T}_{\mu \nu }\) (the trace-less Ricci tensor of \(F_{\theta _0}\)) as an effect of the non flat nature of Feferman’s metric \(F_{\theta _0}\). We study the gravitational field equations \(R_{\mu \nu } - (1/2) \, R \, g_{\mu \nu } = {T}_{\mu \nu }\) on \({\mathfrak M}\). We consider the first order perturbation \(g = F_{\theta _0} + \epsilon \, h\), \(\epsilon<< 1\), and linearize the field equations about \(F_{\theta _0}\). We determine a Lorentzian metric g on \({\mathfrak M}\) which solves the linearized field equations corresponding to a diagonal perturbation h.     

On the Chaoticity of Some Tensor Product Weighted Backward Shift Operators Acting on Some Tensor Product Fock–Bargmann Spaces

In Advances in Mathematical Physics (2011) we showed that the weighted shift \(z^{p}\frac{d^{p+1}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) acting on classical Bargmann space \(\mathbb {B}_{p}\) is chaotic operator. In Journal of Mathematical physics (2014), we constructed an chaotic weighted shift \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) on some lattice Fock–Bargmann \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\) generated by the orthonormal basis \( {e_{m}^{(\alpha ,p)}(z) = e_{m}^{\alpha } ; m=p, p+1,\ldots }\) where \( {e_{m}^{\alpha }(z) = (\frac{2\nu }{\pi })^{1/4}e^{\frac{\nu }{2}z^{2}}e^{-\frac{\pi ^{2}}{\nu }(m +\alpha )^{2} +2i\pi (m +\alpha )z}; m \in \mathbb {N}}\) with \(\nu , \alpha \) are real numbers; \(\nu > 0\), \(\mathbb {M}\) is an weighted shift and \(\mathbb {M^{*}}\) is the adjoint of the \(\mathbb {M}\). In this paper we study the chaoticity of tensor product \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1}\otimes z^{p}\frac{d^{p}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2, \ldots )\) acting on \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\otimes \mathbb {B}_{p}\).     

Solutions of Complex Fermat-Type Partial Difference and Differential-Difference Equations

The functional equation \(f^{m}+g^{m}=1\) can be regarded as the Fermat-type equations over function fields. In this paper, we investigate the entire and meromorphic solutions of the Fermat-type functional equations such as partial differential-difference equation \(\left( \frac{\partial f(z_{1}, z_{2})}{\partial z_{1}}\right) ^{n}+f^{m}(z_{1}+c_{1}, z_{2}+c_{2})=1\) in \(\mathbb {C}^{2}\) and partial difference equation \(f^{m}(z_{1}, \ldots , z_{n})+f^{m}(z_{1}+c_{1}, \ldots , z_{n}+c_{n})=1\) in \(\mathbb {C}^{n}\) by making use of Nevanlinna theory for meromorphic functions in several complex variables.     

Sharp Moser–Trudinger Inequalities on Hyperbolic Spaces with Exact Growth Condition

Let \(\Phi _{n}(x)=e^x-\sum _{j=0}^{n-2}\frac{x^j}{j!}\) and \(\alpha _{n} =n\omega _{n-1}^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\) be the sharp constant in Moser’s inequality (where \(\omega _{n-1}\) is the area of the surface of the unit \(n\)-ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\)), and \(dV\) be the volume element on the \(n\)-dimensional hyperbolic space \((\mathbb {H}^n, g)\) (\(n\ge {2}\)). In this paper, we establish the following sharp Moser–Trudinger type inequalities with the exact growth condition on \(\mathbb {H}^n\):

For any \(u\in {W^{1,n}(\mathbb {H}^n)}\) satisfying \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), there exists a constant \(C(n)>0\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \int _{\mathbb {H}^n}\frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}|u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}}dV \le {C(n)\Vert u\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}. \end{aligned}$$

The power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) and the constant \(\alpha _{n}\) are optimal in the following senses:

1. (i)
   If the power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) in the denominator is replaced by any \(p<\frac{n}{n-1}\), then there exists a sequence of functions \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}(|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV \rightarrow {\infty }. \end{aligned}$$
    
2. (ii)
   If \(\alpha >\alpha _{n}\), then there exists a sequence of function \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha (|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV\rightarrow {\infty }, \end{aligned}$$

   for any \(p\ge {0}\).
    

This result sharpens the earlier work of the authors Lu and Tang (Adv Nonlinear Stud 13(4):1035–1052, 2013) on best constants for the Moser–Trudinger inequalities on hyperbolic spaces.

     

On Lipschitz continuity of solutions of hyperbolic Poisson’s equation

In this paper, we investigate solutions of the hyperbolic Poisson equation \(\Delta _{h}u(x)=\psi (x)\), where \(\psi \in L^{\infty }(\mathbb {B}^{n}, {\mathbb R}^n)\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta _{h}u(x)= (1-|x|^2)^2\Delta u(x)+2(n-2)\left( 1-|x|^2\right) \sum _{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}(x) \end{aligned}$$

is the hyperbolic Laplace operator in the n-dimensional space \(\mathbb {R}^n\) for \(n\ge 2\). We show that if \(n\ge 3\) and \(u\in C^{2}(\mathbb {B}^{n},{\mathbb R}^n) \cap C(\overline{\mathbb {B}^{n}},{\mathbb R}^n )\) is a solution to the hyperbolic Poisson equation, then it has the representation \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{ h}[\psi ]\) provided that \(u\mid _{\mathbb {S}^{n-1}}=\phi \) and \(\int _{\mathbb {B}^{n}}(1-|x|^{2})^{n-1} |\psi (x)|\,d\tau (x)<\infty \). Here \(P_{h}\) and \(G_{h}\) denote Poisson and Green integrals with respect to \(\Delta _{h}\), respectively. Furthermore, we prove that functions of the form \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{h}[\psi ]\) are Lipschitz continuous.

     

A priori bounds and existence of positive solutions of an elliptic system of Kirchhoff type in three or four space dimensions

Let \(\Omega \subseteq \mathbb {R}^n(n\ge 3)\) be a bounded and smooth domain. Assuming that \(\alpha ,a,b>0\), \(p,q>0\), we consider the following elliptic problem of Kirchhoff type

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{llll} -(a+b\Vert \nabla u_1\Vert ^{2\alpha }_2)\Delta u_1= u_2^{p}+h_1(x, u_1, u_2, \nabla u_1, \nabla u_2) &{} \quad \text{ in }&{}\quad \Omega , \\ -\Delta u_2= u_1^{q}+h_2(x, u_1, u_2, \nabla u_1, \nabla u_2) &{}\quad \text{ in } &{}\quad \Omega , \\ u_1,u_2>0 &{} \quad \text{ in } &{}\quad \Omega , \\ u_1=u_2=0 &{} \quad \text{ on }&{}\quad \partial \Omega . \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$

(0.1)

Under some assumptions of \(h_i(x, u_1, u_2, \nabla u_1, \nabla u_2)(i=1, 2)\), we get a priori bounds of the positive solutions to the problem (0.1) when \(n=3,4\) and p, q satisfy \(p,q>1\), \(pq>2\alpha +1\) and \(\frac{1}{p+1}+\frac{1}{q+1}>\frac{n-2}{n}\). By these estimates and the method of continuity, we get the existence for the positive solutions to the problem (0.1). Moreover, the effect of the term \(b\Vert \nabla u_1\Vert ^{2\alpha }_2\) on the solution set of the problem (0.1) also can be given in section 2.

     

Blow Up Criteria for the Incompressible Nematic Liquid Crystal Flows

In this paper, we investigate blow up criteria for the local smooth solutions to the 3D incompressible nematic liquid crystal flows via the components of the gradient velocity field \(\nabla u\) and the gradient orientation field \(\nabla d\). More precisely, we show that \(0< T_{ \ast}<+\infty\) is the maximal time interval if and only if

$$\begin{aligned} & \int_{0}^{T_{\ast}} \bigl\Vert \Vert \partial_{i}u\Vert _{L_{x_{i}} ^{\gamma}} \bigr\Vert _{L_{x_{j}x_{k}}^{\alpha}}^{\beta}+ \|\nabla d\| _{L^{\infty}}^{\frac{8}{3}}\mathrm{d}t=\infty, \\ &\quad\text{ with } \frac{2}{\alpha}+\frac{2}{\beta}\leq\frac{3\alpha +2}{4\alpha}, \text{ and } 1\leq\gamma\leq\alpha,2< \alpha\leq+\infty, \end{aligned}$$

or

$$\begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{T_{\ast}}\|\partial_{3}u_{3} \|^{\beta}_{L^{\alpha}}+\| \nabla d\|^{\frac{8}{3}}_{L^{\infty}} \mathrm{d}t=\infty,\quad\text{with } \frac{3}{\alpha}+\frac{2}{\beta}\leq \frac{3(\alpha+2)}{4 \alpha}, \text{ and } 2< \alpha\leq\infty, \end{aligned}$$

where \(i,j,k\in\{1,2,3\}\), \(i\neq j\), \(i\neq k\), and \(j\neq k\).

     

Transfer of energy to high frequencies in the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We consider the cubic defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the two dimensional torus. We exhibit smooth solutions for which the support of the conserved energy moves to higher Fourier modes. This behavior is quantified by the growth of higher Sobolev norms: given any δ?1,K?1,s>1, we construct smooth initial data u ₀ with \(\|u_{0}\|_{{H}^{s}}<\delta\), so that the corresponding time evolution u satisfies \(\|u(T)\|_{{H}^{s}}>K\) at some time T. This growth occurs despite the Hamiltonian’s bound on \(\|u(t)\|_{\dot{H}^{1}}\) and despite the conservation of the quantity \(\|u(t)\|_{L^{2}}\).The proof contains two arguments which may be of interest beyond the particular result described above. The first is a construction of the solution’s frequency support that simplifies the system of ODE’s describing each Fourier mode’s evolution. The second is a construction of solutions to these simpler systems of ODE’s which begin near one invariant manifold and ricochet from arbitrarily small neighborhoods of an arbitrarily large number of other invariant manifolds. The techniques used here are related to but are distinct from those traditionally used to prove Arnold Diffusion in perturbations of Hamiltonian systems.     

The nonlocal Liouville-type equation in $$\mathbb {}$$ and conformal immersions of the disk with boundary singularities

In this paper we perform a blow-up and quantization analysis of the fractional Liouville equation in dimension 1. More precisely, given a sequence \(u_k :\mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) of solutions to

$$\begin{aligned} (-\Delta )^\frac{1}{2} u_k =K_ke^{u_k}\quad \text {in} \quad \mathbb {R}, \end{aligned}$$

(1)

with \(K_k\) bounded in \(L^\infty \) and \(e^{u_k}\) bounded in \(L^1\) uniformly with respect to k, we show that up to extracting a subsequence \(u_k\) can blow-up at (at most) finitely many points \(B=\{a_1,\ldots , a_N\}\) and that either (i) \(u_k\rightarrow u_\infty \) in \(W^{1,p}_{{{\mathrm{loc}}}}(\mathbb {R}{\setminus } B)\) and \(K_ke^{u_k} {\mathop {\rightharpoonup }\limits ^{*}}K_\infty e^{u_\infty }+ \sum _{j=1}^N \pi \delta _{a_j}\), or (ii) \(u_k\rightarrow -\infty \) uniformly locally in \(\mathbb {R}{\setminus } B\) and \(K_k e^{u_k} {\mathop {\rightharpoonup }\limits ^{*}}\sum _{j=1}^N \alpha _j \delta _{a_j}\) with \(\alpha _j\ge \pi \) for every j. This result, resting on the geometric interpretation and analysis of (1) provided in a recent collaboration of the authors with T. Rivière and on a classical work of Blank about immersions of the disk into the plane, is a fractional counterpart of the celebrated works of Brézis–Merle and Li–Shafrir on the 2-dimensional Liouville equation, but providing sharp quantization estimates (\(\alpha _j=\pi \) and \(\alpha _j\ge \pi \)) which are not known in dimension 2 under the weak assumption that \((K_k)\) be bounded in \(L^\infty \) and is allowed to change sign.

     

Algebras of Convolution-Type Operators with Piecewise Slowly Oscillating Data on Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

Let \({\mathcal B}_{p,w}\) be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on the weighted Lebesgue space \(L^p(\mathbb {R},w)\), where \(p\in (1,\infty )\) and w is a Muckenhoupt weight. We study the Banach subalgebra \(\mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) of \({\mathcal B}_{p,w}\) generated by all multiplication operators aI (\(a\in \mathrm{PSO}^\diamond \)) and all convolution operators \(W^0(b)\) (\(b\in \mathrm{PSO}_{p,w}^\diamond \)), where \(\mathrm{PSO}^\diamond \subset L^\infty (\mathbb {R})\) and \(\mathrm{PSO}_{p,w}^\diamond \subset M_{p,w}\) are algebras of piecewise slowly oscillating functions that admit piecewise slowly oscillating discontinuities at arbitrary points of \(\mathbb {R}\cup \{\infty \}\), and \(M_{p,w}\) is the Banach algebra of Fourier multipliers on \(L^p(\mathbb {R},w)\). For any Muckenhoupt weight w, we study the Fredholmness in the Banach algebra \({\mathcal Z}_{p,w}\subset \mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) generated by the operators \(aW^0(b)\) with slowly oscillating data \(a\in \mathrm{SO}^\diamond \) and \(b\in \mathrm{SO}^\diamond _{p,w}\). Then, under some condition on the weight w, we complete constructing a Fredholm symbol calculus for the Banach algebra \(\mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) in comparison with Karlovich and Loreto Hernández (Integr. Equations Oper. Theory 74:377–415, 2012) and Karlovich and Loreto Hernández (Integr. Equations Oper. Theory 75:49–86, 2013) and establish a Fredholm criterion for the operators \(A\in \mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) in terms of their symbols. A new approach to determine local spectra is found.     

On Standard Derived Equivalences of Orbit Categories

Let k be a commutative ring, \(\mathcal {A}\) and \(\mathcal {B}\) – two k-linear categories with an action of a group G. We introduce the notion of a standard G-equivalence from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\), where \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) is the homotopy category of finitely generated projective \(\mathcal {A}\)-complexes. We construct a map from the set of standard G-equivalences to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) and a map from the set of standard G-equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {B}/G)\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {A}/G)\), where \(\mathcal {A}/G\) denotes the orbit category. We investigate the properties of these maps and apply our results to the case where \(\mathcal {A}=\mathcal {B}=R\) is a Frobenius k-algebra and G is the cyclic group generated by its Nakayama automorphism ν. We apply this technique to obtain the generating set of the derived Picard group of a Frobenius Nakayama algebra over an algebraically closed field.     

Eichler’s commutation relation and some other invariant subspaces of Hecke operators

Let k be an odd positive integer, L a lattice on a regular positive definite k-dimensional quadratic space over \(\mathbb {Q}\), \(N_L\) the level of L, and \(\mathscr {M}(L)\)  be the linear space of \(\theta \)-series attached to the distinct classes in the genus of L. We prove that, for an odd prime \(p|N_L\), if \(L_p=L_{p,1}\,\bot \, L_{p,2}\), where \(L_{p,1}\) is unimodular, \(L_{p,2}\) is (p)-modular, and \(\mathbb {Q}_pL_{p,2}\) is anisotropic, then \(\mathscr {M}(L;p):=\) \(\mathscr {M}(L)\) \(+T_{p^2}.\) \(\mathscr {M}(L)\)  is stable under the Hecke operator \(T_{p^2}\). If \(L_2\) is isometric to \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle \varepsilon \rangle \) or \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle 2\varepsilon \rangle \) or \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}1\\ 1&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle \varepsilon \rangle \) with \(\varepsilon \in \mathbb {Z}_2^{\times }\) and \(\kappa :=\frac{k-1}{2}\), then \(\mathscr {M}(L;2):=T_{2^2}.\mathscr {M}(L)+T_{2^2}^2.\,\mathscr {M}(L)\) is stable under the Hecke operator \(T_{2^2}\). Furthermore, we determine some invariant subspaces of the cusp forms for the Hecke operators.     

On height isotopy classes of embeddings in the plane of a Morse function of a circle

Let \(\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\) be a set of stable Morse functions of an oriented circle such that the number of singular points is \(2n\in \mathbb {N}\) and the order of singular values satisfies the particular condition. For an orthogonal projection \(\pi :\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), let \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) be embedding lifts of f. If there is an ambient isotopy \(\tilde{\varphi }_t:\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) \((t\in [0,1])\) such that \({\pi \circ \tilde{\varphi }}_t(y_1,y_2)=y_1\) and \(\tilde{\varphi }_1\circ {\tilde{f}}_0={\tilde{f}}_1\), we say that \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1\) are height isotopic. We define a function \(I:\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\rightarrow \mathbb {N}\) as follows: I(f) is the number of height isotopy classes of embeddings such that each rotation number is one. In this paper, we determine the maximal value of the function I equals the n-th Baxter number and the minimal value equals \(2^{n-1}\).
