On the Coderivative of the Projection Operator onto the Second-order Cone

The limiting (Mordukhovich) coderivative of the metric projection onto the second-order cone $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ is computed. This result is used to obtain a sufficient condition for the Aubin property of the solution map of a parameterized second-order cone complementarity problem and to derive necessary optimality conditions for a mathematical program with a second-order cone complementarity problem among the constraints.     

Sufficient conditions for global weak Pareto solutions in multiobjective optimization

In this paper we derive new sufficient conditions for global weak Pareto solutions to set-valued optimization problems with general geometric constraints of the type $$\begin{aligned} \text{ maximize}\quad F(x) \quad \text{ subject} \text{ to}\quad x\in \Omega , \end{aligned}$$ where $F: X\rightrightarrows Z$ is a set-valued mapping between Banach spaces with a partial order on $Z$ . Our main results are established by using advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation; in particular, the extremal principle and full generalized differential calculus for the subdifferential/coderivative constructions involved. Various consequences and refined versions are also considered for special classes of problems in vector optimization including those with Lipschitzian data, with convex data, with finitely many objectives, and with no constraints.     

Value-sets of polynomials at p-adic integers

In this paper we are concerned with the classification of the subsets A of ${\mathbb{Z}_p}$ which occur as images ${f(\mathbb{Z}_p^r)}$ of polynomial functions ${f:\mathbb{Z}_p^r\to \mathbb{Z}_p}$ , limiting ourselves to compact-open subsets (i.e. finite unions of open balls). We shall prove three main results: (i) Every compact-open ${A\subset \mathbb{Z}_p}$ is of the shape ${A=f(\mathbb{Z}_p^r)}$ for suitable r and ${f\in\mathbb{Z}_p[X_1,\ldots ,X_r]}$ . (ii) For each r ₀ there is a compact-open A such that in (i) we cannot take r < r ₀. (iii) For any compact-open set ${A\subset \mathbb{Z}_p}$ there exists a polynomial ${f\in\mathbb{Q}_p[X]}$ such that ${f(\mathbb{Z}_p)=A}$ . We shall also discuss in more detail which sets A can be represented as ${f(\mathbb{Z}_p)}$ for a polynomial ${f\in\mathbb{Z}_p[X]}$ in a single variable.     

Scaling relationship between the copositive cone and Parrilo’s first level approximation

We investigate the relation between the cone ${\mathcal{C}^{n}}$ of n × n copositive matrices and the approximating cone ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{1}}$ introduced by Parrilo. While these cones are known to be equal for n ≤ 4, we show that for n ≥ 5 they are not equal. This result is based on the fact that ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{1}}$ is not invariant under diagonal scaling. We show that for any copositive matrix which is not the sum of a nonnegative and a positive semidefinite matrix we can find a scaling which is not in ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{1}}$ . In fact, we show that if all scaled versions of a matrix are contained in ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{r}}$ for some fixed r, then the matrix must be in ${\mathcal{K}_{n}^{0}}$ . For the 5 × 5 case, we show the more surprising result that we can scale any copositive matrix X into ${\mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ and in fact that any scaling D such that ${(DXD)_{ii} \in \{0,1\}}$ for all i yields ${DXD \in \mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ . From this we are able to use the cone ${\mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ to check if any order 5 matrix is copositive. Another consequence of this is a complete characterisation of ${\mathcal{C}^{5}}$ in terms of ${\mathcal{K}_{5}^{1}}$ . We end the paper by formulating several conjectures.     

Algebraic groups over the field with one element

In this paper we provide a first realization of an idea of Jacques Tits from a 1956 paper, which first mentioned that there should be a field of charactéristique une, which is now called ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ , the field with one element. This idea was that every split reductive group scheme over ${\mathbb{Z}}$ should descend to ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ , and its group of ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ -rational points should be its Weyl group. We connect the notion of a torified scheme to the notion of ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ -schemes as introduced by Connes and Consani. This yields models of toric varieties, Schubert varieties and split reductive group schemes as ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ -schemes. We endow the class of ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ -schemes with two classes of morphisms, one leading to a satisfying notion of ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ -rational points, the other leading to the notion of an algebraic group over ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ such that every split reductive group is defined as an algebraic group over ${\mathbb{F}_1}$ . Furthermore, we show that certain combinatorics that are expected from parabolic subgroups of GL(n) and Grassmann varieties are realized in this theory.     

Linear recurring sequences and subfield subcodes of cyclic codes

Linear recurring sequences over finite fields play an important role in coding theory and cryptography. It is known that subfield subcodes of linear codes yield some good codes. In this paper, we study linear recurring sequences and subfield subcodes. Let Mqm(f(x)) denote the set of all linear recurring sequences over Fqm with characteristic polynomial f(x) over Fqm . Denote the restriction of Mqm(f(x)) to sequences over Fq and the set after applying trace function to each sequence in Mqm(f(x)) by Mqm(f(x)) | Fq and Tr( Mqm(f(x))), respectively. It is shown that these two sets are both complete sets of linear recurring sequences over Fq with some characteristic polynomials over Fq. In this paper, we firstly determine the characteristic polynomials for these two sets. Then, using these results, we determine the generator polynomials of subfield subcodes and trace codes of cyclic codes over Fqm .     

Relaxed Hyperelastic Curves on a Non-Degenerate Surface

We study the variational problem belonging to a relaxed hyperelastic curve for non-null curve on a non-degenerate surface in Minkowski three-space \({E_{1}^{3}}\) . Firstly, we derive the intrinsic equations for a relaxed hyperelastic curve and we give the necessary condition for being relaxed hyperelastic curve of any non-null geodesic on the surface in \({E_{1}^{3}}\) . Then, we examine this formulation on non-null geodesics of pseudo-plane, pseudo-sphere \({S_{1}^{2}(r) }\) , hyperbolic space \({H_{0}^{2}(r)}\) and pseudo-cylinder \({C_{1}^{2}(r)}\) .     

On Suborbital Graphs for the Extended Modular Group {\hat{\Gamma}}

In this paper, we show that the extended modular group ${\hat{\Gamma}}$ acts on ${\hat{\mathbb{Q}}}$ transitively and imprimitively. Then the number of orbits of ${\hat{\Gamma} _{0}(N)}$ on ${\hat{\mathbb{Q}}}$ is calculated and compared with the number of orbits of ${\Gamma _{0}(N)}$ on ${\hat{\mathbb{Q}}}$ . Especially, we obtain the graphs ${\hat{G}_{u, N}}$ of ${\hat{\Gamma}_{0}(N)}$ on ${\hat{\mathbb{Q}}}$ , for each ${N\in\mathbb{N}}$ and each unit ${u \in U_{N} }$ , then we determine the suborbital graph ${\hat{F}_{u,N}}$ . We also give the edge conditions in ${\hat{G}_{u, N}}$ and the necessary and sufficient conditions for a circuit to be triangle in ${\hat{F}_{u, N}.}$      

New approximations for the cone of copositive matrices and its dual

We provide convergent hierarchies for the convex cone $\mathcal{C }$ of copositive matrices and its dual $\mathcal{C }^*$ , the cone of completely positive matrices. In both cases the corresponding hierarchy consists of nested spectrahedra and provide outer (resp. inner) approximations for $\mathcal{C }$ (resp. for its dual $\mathcal{C }^*$ ), thus complementing previous inner (resp. outer) approximations for $\mathcal{C }$ (for $\mathcal{C }^*$ ). In particular, both inner and outer approximations have a very simple interpretation. Finally, extension to $\mathcal{K }$ -copositivity and $\mathcal{K }$ -complete positivity for a closed convex cone $\mathcal{K }$ , is straightforward.     

On p-tuples of the Grassmann manifolds

We provide a matrix invariant for isometry classes of p-tuples of points in the Grassmann manifold ${G_{n}\left(\mathbb{K}^{d}\right) }$ ( ${\mathbb{K=\mathbb{R}}}$ or ${\mathbb{C}}$ ). This invariant fully characterizes the p-tuple. We use it to classify the regular p-tuples of ${G_{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{d}\right) }$ , ${G_{3}\left( \mathbb{R}^{d}\right) }$ and ${G_{2}\left( \mathbb{C}^{d}\right) }$ .     

Newform theory for Hilbert Eisenstein series

In his thesis, Weisinger (Thesis, 1977) developed a newform theory for elliptic modular Eisenstein series. This newform theory for Eisenstein series was later extended to the Hilbert modular setting by Wiles (Ann. Math. 123(3):407–456, 1986). In this paper, we extend the theory of newforms for Hilbert modular Eisenstein series. In particular, we provide a strong multiplicity-one theorem in which we prove that Hilbert Eisenstein newforms are uniquely determined by their Hecke eigenvalues for any set of primes having Dirichlet density greater than $\frac{1}{2}$ . Additionally, we provide a number of applications of this newform theory. Let denote the space of Hilbert modular Eisenstein series of parallel weight k≥3, level $\mathcal{N}$ and Hecke character Ψ over a totally real field K. For any prime $\mathfrak{q}$ dividing $\mathcal{N}$ , we define an operator $C_{\mathfrak{q}}$ generalizing the Hecke operator $T_{\mathfrak{q}}$ and prove a multiplicity-one theorem for with respect to the algebra generated by the Hecke operators $T_{\mathfrak{p}}$ ( $\mathfrak{p}\nmid\mathcal{N}$ ) and the operators $C_{\mathfrak{q}}$ ( $\mathfrak{q}\mid\mathcal{N}$ ). We conclude by examining the behavior of Hilbert Eisenstein newforms under twists by Hecke characters, proving a number of results having a flavor similar to those of Atkin and Li (Invent. Math. 48(3):221–243, 1978).     

Homotopy Groups of Spheres and Lipschitz Homotopy Groups of Heisenberg Groups

We provide a sufficient condition for the nontriviality of the Lipschitz homotopy group of the Heisenberg group, ${\pi_m^{\rm Lip}(\mathbb{H}_n)}$ , in terms of properties of the classical homotopy group of the sphere, ${\pi_m(\mathbb{S}^n)}$ . As an application we provide a new simplified proof of the fact that ${\pi_n^{\rm Lip}(\mathbb{H}_n)\neq \{0\}, n=1,2,\ldots}$ , and we prove a new result that ${\pi_{4n-1}^{\rm Lip}(\mathbb{H}_{2n})\neq \{0\}}$ for n = 1,2,… The last result is based on a new generalization of the Hopf invariant. We also prove that Lipschitz mappings are not dense in the Sobolev space ${W^{1,p}(\mathcal{M},\mathbb{H}_{2n})}$ when ${\dim \mathcal{M} \geq 4n}$ and 4n?1 ≤  p < 4n.     

The index of centralizers of elements in classical Lie algebras

The index of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is the minimum of dimensions of the stabilizers $\mathfrak{g}_\alpha $ over all covectors $\alpha \in \mathfrak{g}^ * $ . Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a reductive Lie algebra over a field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic ≠ = 2. Élashvili conjectured that the index of $\mathfrak{g}_\alpha $ is always equal to the index, or, which is the same, the rank of $\mathfrak{g}$ . In this article, Élashvili’s conjecture is proved for classical Lie algebras. Furthermore, it is shown that if $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}_n $ or $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{p}_{2n} $ and $e \in \mathfrak{g}$ is a nilpotent element, then the coadjoint action of $\mathfrak{g}_e $ has a generic stabilizer. For $\mathfrak{g}$ , we give examples of nilpotent elements $e \in \mathfrak{g}$ such that the coadjoint action of $\mathfrak{g}_e $ does not have a generic stabilizer.     

On the Linear Dependence of a Finite Set of Additive Functions

In this note we prove the following: Let n?≥ 2 be a fixed integer. A system of additive functions ${A_{1},A_{2},\ldots,A_{n}:\mathbb{R} \to\mathbb{R}}$ is linearly dependent (as elements of the ${\mathbb{R}}$ vector space ${\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{R}}}$ ), if and only if, there exists an indefinite quadratic form ${Q:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} }$ such that ${Q(A_{1}(x),A_{2}(x),\ldots,A_{n}(x))\geq 0}$ or ${Q(A_{1}(x),A_{2}(x),\ldots,A_{n}(x))\leq 0}$ holds for all ${x\in\mathbb{R}}$ .     

Conservative fragments of {{S}^{1}_{2}} and {{R}^{1}_{2}}

Conservative subtheories of ${{R}^{1}_{2}}$ and ${{S}^{1}_{2}}$ are presented. For ${{S}^{1}_{2}}$ , a slight tightening of Je?ábek??s result (Math Logic Q 52(6):613?C624, 2006) that ${T^{0}_{2} \preceq_{\forall \Sigma^{b}_{1}}S^{1}_{2}}$ is presented: It is shown that ${T^{0}_{2}}$ can be axiomatised as BASIC together with induction on sharply bounded formulas of one alternation. Within this ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -theory, we define a ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -theory, ${T^{-1}_{2}}$ , for the ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -consequences of ${S^{1}_{2}}$ . We show ${T^{-1}_{2}}$ is weak by showing it cannot ${\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -define division by 3. We then consider what would be the analogous ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative subtheory of ${R^{1}_{2}}$ based on Pollett (Ann Pure Appl Logic 100:189?C245, 1999. It is shown that this theory, ${{T}^{0,\left\{2^{(||\dot{id}||)}\right\}}_{2}}$ , also cannot ${\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -define division by 3. On the other hand, we show that ${{S}^{0}_{2}+open_{\{||id||\}}}$ -COMP is a ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative subtheory of ${R^{1}_{2}}$ . Finally, we give a refinement of Johannsen and Pollett (Logic Colloquium?? 98, 262?C279, 2000) and show that ${\hat{C}^{0}_{2}}$ is ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative over a theory based on open _cl-comprehension.     

{\boldsymbol(}\boldsymbol{\mathcal{Z}}_{\bf 1}, \boldsymbol{\mathcal{Z}}_{\bf 2}{\boldsymbol)}-Complete Partially Ordered Sets and Their Representations by \boldsymbol{\mathcal{Q}}-Spaces

The present paper proposes a general theory for $\left( \mathcal{Z}_{1}, \mathcal{Z}_{2}\right) $ -complete partially ordered sets (alias $\mathcal{Z} _{1}$ -join complete and $\mathcal{Z}_{2}$ -meet complete partially ordered sets) and their Stone-like representations. It is shown that for suitably chosen subset selections $\mathcal{Z}_{i}$ (i?=?1,...,4) and $\mathcal{Q} =\left( \mathcal{Z}_{1},\mathcal{Z}_{2},\mathcal{Z}_{3},\mathcal{Z} _{4}\right) $ , the category $\mathcal{Q}$ P of $\left( \mathcal{Z}_{1},\mathcal{Z}_{2}\right) $ -complete partially ordered sets and $\left( \mathcal{Z}_{3},\mathcal{Z}_{4}\right) $ -continuous (alias $\mathcal{ Z}_{3}$ -join preserving and $\mathcal{Z}_{4}$ -meet preserving) functions forms a useful categorical framework for various order-theoretical constructs, and has a close connection with the category $\mathcal{Q}$ S of $\mathcal{Q}$ -spaces which are generalizations of topological spaces involving subset selections. In particular, this connection turns into a dual equivalence between the full subcategory $ \mathcal{Q}$ P _s of $\mathcal{Q}$ P of all $\mathcal{Q}$ -spatial objects and the full subcategory $\mathcal{Q}$ S _s of $\mathcal{Q}$ S of all $\mathcal{Q}$ -sober objects. Here $\mathcal{Q}$ -spatiality and $\mathcal{Q}$ -sobriety extend usual notions of spatiality of locales and sobriety of topological spaces to the present approach, and their relations to $\mathcal{Z}$ -compact generation and $\mathcal{Z}$ -sobriety have also been pointed out in this paper.     

Stability of contact discontinuity for steady Euler system in infinite duct

In this paper, we prove stability of contact discontinuities for full Euler system. We fix a flat duct ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ of infinite length in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ with width W ₀ and consider two uniform subsonic flow ${{U_l}^{\pm}=(u_l^{\pm}, 0, pl,\rho_l^{\pm})}$ with different horizontal velocity in ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ divided by a flat contact discontinuity ${\Gamma_{cd}}$ . And, we slightly perturb the boundary of ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ so that the width of the perturbed duct converges to ${W_0+\omega}$ for ${|\omega| < \delta}$ at ${x=\infty}$ for some ${\delta >0 }$ . Then, we prove that if the asymptotic state at left far field is given by ${{U_l}^{\pm}}$ , and if the perturbation of boundary of ${\mathcal{N}_0}$ and ${\delta}$ is sufficiently small, then there exists unique asymptotic state ${{U_r}^{\pm}}$ with a flat contact discontinuity ${\Gamma_{cd}^*}$ at right far field( ${x=\infty}$ ) and unique weak solution ${U}$ of the Euler system so that U consists of two subsonic flow with a contact discontinuity in between, and that U converges to ${{U_l}^{\pm}}$ and ${{U_r}^{\pm}}$ at ${x=-\infty}$ and ${x=\infty}$ respectively. For that purpose, we establish piecewise C ¹ estimate across a contact discontinuity of a weak solution to Euler system depending on the perturbation of ${\partial\mathcal{N}_0}$ and ${\delta}$ .     

Planar Beurling Transform and Bergman Type Spaces

In this paper we describe the actions of the operator $S_\mathbb{D }$ or its adjoint $S_\mathbb{D }^*$ on the poly-Bergman spaces of the unit disk $\mathbb{D }.$ Let $k$ and $j$ be positive integers. We prove that $(S_\mathbb{D })^{j}$ is an isometric isomorphism between the true poly-Bergman subspace $\mathcal{A }_{(k)}^2(\mathbb{D })\ominus N_{(k),j}$ onto the true poly-Bergman space $\mathcal{A }_{(j+k)}^2(\mathbb{D }),$ where the linear space $N_{(k),j}$ have finite dimension $j.$ The action of $(S_\mathbb{D })^{j-1}$ on the canonical Hilbert base for the Bergman subspace $\mathcal{A }^2(\mathbb{D })\ominus \mathcal{P }_{j-1},$ gives a Hilbert base $\{ \phi _{ j , k } \}_{ k }$ for $\mathcal{A }_{(j)}^2(\mathbb{D }).$ It is shown that $\{ \phi _{ j , k } \}_{ j, k }$ is a Hilbert base for $L^2(\mathbb{D },d A)$ such that whenever $j$ and $k$ remain constant we obtain a Hilbert base for the true poly-Bergman space $\mathcal{A }_{(j)}^2(\mathbb{D })$ and $\mathcal{A }_{(-k)}^2(\mathbb{D }),$ respectively. The functions $\phi _{ j , k }$ are polynomials in $z$ and $\overline{z}$ and are explicitly given in terms of the $(2,1)$ -hypergeometric polynomials. We prove explicit representations for the true poly-Bergman kernels and the Koshelev representation for the poly-Bergman kernels of $\mathbb{D }.$ The action of $S_\Pi $ on the true poly-Bergman spaces of the upper half-plane $\Pi $ allows one to introduce Hilbert bases for the true poly-Bergman spaces, and to give explicit representations of the true poly-Bergman and poly-Bergman kernels.     

Codimension 1 Subvarieties of {\mathcal{M}_g } and Real Gonality of Real Curves

Let ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ be the moduli space of smooth complex projective curves of genus g. Here we prove that the subset of ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ formed by all curves for which some Brill-Noether locus has dimension larger than the expected one has codimension at least two in ${\mathcal{M}_g }$ . As an application we show that if ${X \in \mathcal{M}_g }$ is defined over $\mathbb{R}$ then there exists a low degree pencil ${u:X \to \mathbb{P}^1 }$ defined over $\mathbb{R}.$
