The Holditch-Type Theorem for the Polar Moment of Inertia of the Orbit Curve in the Generalized Complex Plane

In this study, we first calculate the polar moment of inertia of orbit curves under one-parameter planar motion in the generalized complex plane \({{\mathbb{C}_p}}\) and then give the Holditch-type theorem for \({{\mathbb{C}_p}}\): When the fixed points \({X}\) and \({Y}\) on the moving plane \({{\mathbb{K}_p} \subset {\mathbb{C}_p}}\) trace the same curve \({k}\) with the polar moment of inertia \({{T_X}}\), the different point \({Z}\) on this line segment \({XY}\) traces another curve \({{k_Z}}\) with the polar moment of inertia \({{T_Z}}\) during the one-parameter planar motion in the fixed plane \({{\mathbb{K}'_p} \subset {\mathbb{C}_p}}\). Thus, we obtain that the difference between the polar moments of inertia of these curves \({( {{T_Z} - {T_X}} )}\) depends on the only the \({p}\)-distances of this points and \({p}\)-rotation angle of the motion, \({{T_X} - {T_Z} = {\delta _p}ab.}\)     

Abelian covers of alternating groups

Let \({C={\rm inf} (k/n)\sum_{i=1}^n x_i(x_{i+1}+\cdots+x_{i+k})^{-1}}\), where the infimum is taken over all pairs of integers \({n\geq k\geq 1}\) and all positive \({x_1,\ldots,x_n}\), \({x_{n+i}=x_i}\). We prove that \({\ln 2 \leq C < 0.9305}\). In the definition of the constant C, the operation \({{\rm inf}_{k}\, {\rm inf}_{n}\, {\rm inf}_{x}}\) can be replaced by \({{\rm lim}_{k \to \infty}\, {\rm lim}_{n \to \infty} {\rm inf}_{x}}\).     

A Beurling-Blecher-Labuschagne Theorem for Noncommutative Hardy Spaces Associated with Semifinite von Neumann Algebras

We prove a Beurling-Blecher-Labuschagne theorem for \({H^\infty}\)-invariant spaces of \({L^p(\mathcal{M},\tau)}\) when \({0 < p \leq\infty}\), using Arveson’s non-commutative Hardy space \({H^\infty}\) in relation to a von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal{M}}\) with a semifinite, faithful, normal tracial weight \({\tau}\). Using the main result, we are able to completely characterize all \({H^\infty}\)-invariant subspaces of \({L^p(\mathcal{M} \rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{Z},\tau)}\), where \({\mathcal{M} \rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{Z} }\) is a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal{M}}\) by the integer group \({\mathbb{Z}}\), and \({H^\infty}\) is a non-selfadjoint crossed product of \({\mathcal{M}}\) by \({\mathbb{Z}^+}\). As an example, we characterize all \({H^\infty}\)-invariant subspaces of the Schatten p-class \({S^p(\mathcal{H})}\), where \({H^\infty}\) is the lower triangular subalgebra of \({B(\mathcal{H})}\), for each \({0 < p \leq\infty}\).     

Additive iterative roots of identity and Hamel bases

We describe a class of discontinuous additive functions \({a:X\to X}\) on a real topological vector space X such that \({a^n={\rm id}_X}\) and \({a({\mathcal{H}}){\setminus} {\mathcal{H}}\neq\emptyset}\) for every infinite set \({{\mathcal{H}}\subset X}\) of vectors linearly independent over \({\mathbb{Q}}\). We prove the density of the family of all such functions in the linear topological space \({{\mathcal{A}}_X}\) of all additive functions \({a:X\to X}\) with the topology induced on \({{\mathcal{A}}_X}\) by the Tychonoff topology of the space X^X. Moreover, we consider additive functions \({a\in{\mathcal{A}}_X}\) satisfying \({a^n={\rm id}_X}\) and \({a({\mathcal{H}})= {\mathcal{H}}}\) for some Hamel basis \({{\mathcal{H}}}\) of X. We show that the class of all such functions is also dense in \({{\mathcal{A}}_X}\). The method is based on decomposition theorems for linear endomorphisms.     

Weyl Type Asymptotics and Bounds for the Eigenvalues of Functional-Difference Operators for Mirror Curves

We investigate Weyl type asymptotics of functional-difference operators associated to mirror curves of special del Pezzo Calabi-Yau threefolds. These operators are \({H(\zeta) = U + U^{-1} + V + \zeta V^{-1}}\) and \({H_{m,n} = U + V + q^{-mn}U^{-m}V^{-n}}\), where \({U}\) and \({V}\) are self-adjoint Weyl operators satisfying \({UV = q^{2}VU}\) with \({q = {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi b^{2}}}\), \({b > 0}\) and \({\zeta > 0}\), \({m, n \in \mathbb{N}}\). We prove that \({H(\zeta)}\) and \({H_{m,n}}\) are self-adjoint operators with purely discrete spectrum on \({L^{2}(\mathbb{R})}\). Using the coherent state transform we find the asymptotical behaviour for the Riesz mean \({\sum_{j\ge 1}(\lambda - \lambda_{j})_{+}}\) as \({\lambda \to \infty}\) and prove the Weyl law for the eigenvalue counting function \({N(\lambda)}\) for these operators, which imply that their inverses are of trace class.     

On the Convergence to Equilibrium of Unbounded Observables Under a Family of Intermittent Interval Maps

We consider a family \({\{T_{r}: [0, 1] \circlearrowleft \}_{r\in[0, 1]}}\) of Markov interval maps interpolating between the tent map \({T_{0}}\) and the Farey map \({T_{1}}\). Letting \({\mathcal{P}_{r}}\) denote the Perron–Frobenius operator of \({T_{r}}\), we show, for \({\beta \in [0, 1]}\) and \({\alpha \in (0, 1)}\), that the asymptotic behaviour of the iterates of \({\mathcal{P}_{r}}\) applied to observables with a singularity at \({\beta}\) of order \({\alpha}\) is dependent on the structure of the \({\omega}\)-limit set of \({\beta}\) with respect to \({T_{r}}\). The results presented here are some of the first to deal with convergence to equilibrium of observables with singularities.     

Left Equalizer Simple Semigroups

We characterize and construct semigroups whose right regular representation is a left cancellative semigroup. These semigroups will be called left equalizer simple semigroups. For a congruence \({\varrho}\) on a semigroup S, let \({{\mathbb F}[\varrho]}\) denote the ideal of the semigroup algebra \({{\mathbb F}[S]}\) which determines the kernel of the extended homomorphism of \({{\mathbb F}[S]}\) onto \({{\mathbb F}[S/\varrho]}\) induced by the canonical homomorphism of S onto \({S/\varrho}\). We examine the right colons (\({{\mathbb F}[\varrho] :_{r} {\mathbb F}[S]) = {a \epsilon {\mathbb F}[S] : {\mathbb F}[S]a \subseteqq {\mathbb F}[\varrho]}}\) in general, and in that special case when \({\varrho}\) has the property that the factor semigroup \({S/\varrho}\) is left equalizer simple.     

Riesz Transform Characterizations of Hardy Spaces Associated to Degenerate Elliptic Operators

Let \({L_{w}}{:=-w^{-1}{\rm div}(A\nabla)}\) be the degenerate elliptic operator on the Euclidean space \({{\mathbb{R}^{n}}}\), where w is a Muckenhoupt \({A_{2}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})}\) weight. In this article, the authors establish the Riesz transform characterization of the Hardy space \({H^{p}_{L_{w}}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})}\) associated with L_w, for \({w \in A_{q}({\mathbb{R}}^{n}) \cap RH_{\frac{n}{n-2}}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})}\) with \({n \geq 3}\), \({q \in [1,2]}\) and \({p \in (q(\frac{1}{r}+\frac{q-1}{2}+\frac{1}{n})^{-1},1]}\) if, for some \({r \in (1,\,2]}\), \({{\{tL_w e^{-tL_w}\}}_{t\geq 0}}\) satisfies the weighted \({L^{r}-L^{2}}\) full off-diagonal estimates.     

On the existence of self-complementary and non-self-complementary strongly regular graphs with Paley parameters

For p an odd prime, let \({{\mathcal A}_{p}}\) be the complete classical affine association scheme whose associate classes correspond to parallel classes of lines in the classical affine plane AG(2, p). It is known that \({{\mathcal A}_{p}}\) is an amorphic association scheme. We investigate rank 3 fusion schemes of \({{\mathcal A}_{p}}\) whose basis graphs have the same parameters as the Paley graphs \({P(p^{2})}\). In contrast to the Paley graphs, the great majority of graphs we detect are non-self-complementary and non-Schurian. In particular, existence of non-self-complementary graphs with Paley parameters is established for \({p \ge 17}\), with an analogous existence result for non-Schurian such graphs when \({p \ge 11}\). We demonstrate that the number of self-complementary and non-self-complementary strongly regular graphs with Paley parameters grows rapidly as \({p \to \infty}\).     

Number fields in fibers: the geometrically abelian case with rational critical values

Let X be an algebraic curve over \({\mathbb {Q}}\) and \({t\in {\mathbb {Q}}(X)}\) a non-constant rational function such that \({{\mathbb {Q}}(X)\ne {\mathbb {Q}}(t)}\). For every \({ n \in {\mathbb {Z}}}\) pick \({P_ n \in X(\bar{{\mathbb {Q}}})}\) such that \({t(P_n)=n}\). We conjecture that, for large N, among the number fields \({\mathbb {Q}}(P_1), \ldots , {\mathbb {Q}}(P_N)\) there are at least cN distinct. We prove this conjecture in the special case when \(\bar{{\mathbb {Q}}}(X)/\bar{{\mathbb {Q}}}(t)\) is an abelian field extension and the critical values of t are all rational. This implies, in particular, that our conjecture follows from a more famous conjecture of Schinzel.     

Complex homomorphisms on self-conjugate algebras of functions

Let X be a non-void set and A be a subalgebra of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . We call a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional \({\varphi}\) on A a 1-evaluation if \({\varphi(f) \in f(X) }\) for all \({f\in A}\) . From the classical Gleason–Kahane–?elazko theorem, it follows that if X in addition is a compact Hausdorff space then a mapping \({\varphi}\) of \({C_{\mathbb{C}}(X) }\) into \({\mathbb{C}}\) is a 1-evaluation if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism. In this paper, we aim to investigate the extent to which this equivalence between 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms can be generalized to a wider class of self-conjugate subalgebras of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . In this regards, we prove that a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional on a self-conjugate subalgebra A of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) is a positive \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\overline{1}}\) -evaluation, that is, \({\varphi(f) \in\overline{f\left(X\right)}}\) for all \({f\in A}\) . As consequences of our general study, we prove that 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms on \({C_{\mathbb{C}}\left( X\right)}\) coincide for any topological space X and we get a new characterization of realcompact topological spaces.     

Heat kernel approach for sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight

In this article, using the heat kernel approach from Bouche (Asymptotic results for Hermitian line bundles over complex manifolds: The heat kernel approach, Higher-dimensional complex varieties, pp 67–81, de Gruyter, Berlin, 1996), we derive sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight. Let \({\Gamma\subset \mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})}\) be a cocompact Fuchsian subgroup of first kind. For \({k \in \frac{1}{2} \mathbb{Z}}\) (or \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)), let \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\) denote the complex vector space of cusp forms of weight-k and nebentypus \({\nu^{2k}}\) (\({\nu^{k\slash 2}}\), if \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)) with respect to \({\Gamma}\), where \({\nu}\) is a unitary character. Let \({\lbrace f_{1},\ldots,f_{j_{k}} \rbrace}\) denote an orthonormal basis of \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\). In this article, we show that as \({k \rightarrow \infty,}\) the sup-norm for \({\sum_{i=1}^{j_{k}}y^{k}|f_{i}(z)|^{2}}\) is bounded by O(k), where the implied constant is independent of \({\Gamma}\). Furthermore, using results from Berman (Math. Z. 248:325–344, 2004), we extend these results to the case when \({\Gamma}\) is cofinite.     

Random approximation and the vertex index of convex bodies

We prove that there exists an absolute constant \({\alpha > 1}\) with the following property: if K is a convex body in \({{\mathbb R}^n}\) whose center of mass is at the origin, then a random subset \({X\subset K}\) of cardinality \({{\rm card}(X)=\lceil\alphan\rceil }\) satisfies with probability greater than \({1-e^{-c_1n}}\)

$$K\subseteq c_2n\, {\rm conv}(X),$$

where \({c_1, c_2 > 0}\) are absolute constants. As an application we show that the vertex index of any convex body K in \({{\mathbb R}^n}\) is bounded by \({c_3n^2}\), where \({c_3 > 0}\) is an absolute constant, thus extending an estimate of Bezdek and Litvak for the symmetric case.

     

Fourth-order Schrödinger type operator with singular potentials

We prove that a deformation of a hypersurface in an (n + 1)-dimensional real space form \({{\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1}}\) induces a Hamiltonian variation of the normal congruence in the space \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1})}\) of oriented geodesics. As an application, we show that every Hamiltonian minimal submanifold in \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1})}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{n+1})}\)) with respect to the (para-)Kähler Einstein structure is locally the normal congruence of a hypersurface \({\Sigma}\) in \({{\mathbb S}^{n+1}}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb H}^{n+1}}\)) that is a critical point of the functional \({{\mathcal W}(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\left(\Pi_{i=1}^n|\epsilon+k_i^2|\right)^{1/2}}\), where k_i denote the principal curvatures of \({\Sigma}\) and \({\epsilon \in \{-1, 1\}}\). In addition, for \({n = 2}\), we prove that every Hamiltonian minimal surface in \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{3})}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{3})}\)), with respect to the (para-)Kähler conformally flat structure, is the normal congruence of a surface in \({{\mathbb S}^{3}}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb H}^{3}}\)) that is a critical point of the functional \({{\mathcal W}\prime(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\sqrt{H^2-K+1}}\) (resp. \({{\mathcal W}\prime(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\sqrt{H^2-K-1}}\)), where H and K denote, respectively, the mean and Gaussian curvature of \({\Sigma}\).     

Cutoff on all Ramanujan graphs

We show that on every Ramanujan graph \({G}\), the simple random walk exhibits cutoff: when \({G}\) has \({n}\) vertices and degree \({d}\), the total-variation distance of the walk from the uniform distribution at time \({t=\frac{d}{d-2} \log_{d-1} n + s\sqrt{\log n}}\) is asymptotically \({{\mathbb{P}}(Z > c \, s)}\) where \({Z}\) is a standard normal variable and \({c=c(d)}\) is an explicit constant. Furthermore, for all \({1 \leq p \leq \infty}\), \({d}\)-regular Ramanujan graphs minimize the asymptotic \({L^p}\)-mixing time for SRW among all \({d}\)-regular graphs. Our proof also shows that, for every vertex \({x}\) in \({G}\) as above, its distance from \({n-o(n)}\) of the vertices is asymptotically \({\log_{d-1} n}\).     

Applications of strongly convergent sequences to Fourier series by means of modulus functions

The aim of this work is to estimate sums involving P(n), the largest prime factor of an integer \({n \geqq 2}\) under digital constraints \({{f(P(n)) \equiv a}{\rm mod} b}\), for every \({a \in \mathbb{Z}}\) and an integer \({b \geqq 2}\) where f is a strongly q-additive function with integer values (i.e. \({f(aq^j + b) = f(a) + f(b)}\), with \({(a, b, j) \in \mathbb{N}^3}\), \({{0 \leqq b} < q^j}\)). We also estimate the cardinality of the set \({\{{n \leqq x, f(P(n) + c)} \equiv {a {\rm mod} b}, P(n) \equiv l {\rm mod} k\}}\), where \({c \in \mathbb{Z}}\), \({k \geqq 2}\).     

Symbol <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-algebras of prime degree and their <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-central subspaces

We prove that the maximal dimension of a p-central subspace of the generic symbol p-algebra of prime degree p is \({p+1}\). We do it by proving the following number theoretic fact: let \({\{s_1,\dots,s_{p+1}\}}\) be \({p+1}\) distinct nonzero elements in the additive group \({G=(\mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z}) \times (\mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z})}\), then every nonzero element \({g \in G}\) can be expressed as \({d_1 s_1+\dots+d_{p+1} s_{p+1}}\) for some non-negative integers \({d_1,\dots,d_{p+1}}\) with \({d_1+\dots+d_{p+1}\leq p-1}\).     

On generalized Stanley sequences

Let \({\mathbb{N}}\) denote the set of all nonnegative integers. Let \({k \ge 3}\) be an integer and \({A_{0} = \{a_{1}, \dots, a_{t}\} (a_{1} < \cdots < a_{t})}\) be a nonnegative set which does not contain an arithmetic progression of length k. We denote \({A = \{a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots{}\}}\) defined by the following greedy algorithm: if \({l \ge t}\) and \({a_{1}, \dots{}, a_{l}}\) have already been defined, then \({a_{l+1}}\) is the smallest integer \({a > a_{l}}\) such that \({\{a_{1}, \dots, a_{l}\} \cup \{a\}}\) also does not contain a k-term arithmetic progression. This sequence A is called the Stanley sequence of order k generated by A₀. We prove some results about various generalizations of the Stanley sequence.     

Mutually prime sequences of inner functions and the ranks of subspaces over the bidisk

Let \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) be a sequence of inner functions satisfying that \({\zeta_n(z):=\varphi_n(z)/\varphi_{n+1}(z)\in H^\infty(z)}\) for every n ≥ 0 and \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) have no nonconstant common inner divisors. Associated with it, we have a Rudin type invariant subspace \({\mathcal{M}}\) of \({H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)}\) . We write \({\mathcal{N}= H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus\mathcal{M}}\) . If \({\{\zeta_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) ia a mutually prime sequence, then we shall prove that \({rank_{\{T^\ast_z,T^\ast_w\}} \mathcal{N}=1}\) and \({rank_{\{\mathcal{F}^\ast_z\}}(\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M})=1}\) , where \({\mathcal{F}_z}\) is the fringe operator on \({\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M}}\) .     

A remark on hereditarily nonparadoxical sets

Call a set \({A \subseteq \mathbb {R}}\)paradoxical if there are disjoint \({A_0, A_1 \subseteq A}\) such that both \({A_0}\) and \({A_1}\) are equidecomposable with \({A}\) via countabbly many translations. \({X \subseteq \mathbb {R}}\) is hereditarily nonparadoxical if no uncountable subset of \({X}\) is paradoxical. Penconek raised the question if every hereditarily nonparadoxical set \({X \subseteq \mathbb {R}}\) is the union of countably many sets, each omitting nontrivial solutions of \({x - y = z - t}\). Nowik showed that the answer is ‘yes’, as long as \({|X| \leq \aleph_\omega}\). Here we show that consistently there exists a counterexample of cardinality \({\aleph_{\omega+1}}\) and it is also consistent that the continuum is arbitrarily large and Penconek’s statement holds for any \({X}\).
