Asymptotic behaviour of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity

Let be a polynomial ring over a field.

For a graded ideal of , the regularity of is given by a linear function of for all sufficiently large . The leading coefficient of this function is identified.

Lomonosov's theorem cannot be extended to chains of four operators

We show that the celebrated Lomonosov theorem cannot be improved by increasing the number of commuting operators. Specifically, we prove that if is the operator without a non-trivial closed invariant subspace constructed by C. J.

It is also shown that the commutant of contains only series of .

Connected sums of manifolds which induce approximate fibrations

Codimension-2 fibrators are -manifolds which automatically induce approximate fibration, in the following sense: given any proper mapping from an -manifold onto a -manifold such that each point-preimage is a copy of the codimension-2 fibrator, is necessarily an approximate fibration. In this paper, we give some answers to the following question: given an -manifold which is a nontrivial connected sum, when is a codimension-2 fibrator?

     

Extensions of holomorphic maps through hypersurfaces and relations to the Hartogs extensions in infinite dimension

A generalization of Kwack's theorem to the infinite dimensional case is obtained. We consider a holomorphic map from into , where is a hypersurface in a complex Banach manifold and is a hyperbolic Banach space. Under various assumptions on , and we show that can be extended to a holomorphic map from into . Moreover, it is proved that an increasing union of pseudoconvex domains containing no complex lines has the Hartogs extension property.

Generalizing the classical result of Bohr, we show that if an -variable power series converges in -circular bounded complete domain and its sum has modulus less than 1, then the sum of the maximum of the modulii of the terms is less than 1 in the homothetic domain , where . This constant is near to the best one for the domain

     

Bounds for solutions of a differential inequality

This work compares the solutions of an th order differential inequality plus boundary conditions with the solution of the related differential equation with boundary conditions. The differential operator is assumed to be disconjugate. It is proved that under suitable conditions the ratio of these solutions is monotone. The solution of the inequality can be replaced by the corresponding Green's function.
