Uniqueness of optimal mod 3 polynomials for parity

Text

In this paper, we completely characterize the quadratic polynomials modulo 3 with the largest (hence “optimal”) correlation with parity. This result is obtained by analysis of the exponential sum

     

Uniqueness of least area surfaces in the 3-torus

Given any -periodic metric g on and a plane through the origin, Bangert [4] shows that there exists a properly embedded surface homeomorphic to which is homotopically area-minimizing w.r.t. g, lies in a strip of bounded width around P, and does not have self-intersections when projected to the 3-torus . For the set of such surfaces, we show the following uniqueness theorems: If P is irrational, i.e., is not spanned by vectors in , the action of on by translations has a unique minimal set. If P is totally irrational, i.e., , then the surfaces in are pairwise disjoint. Received: 8 July 1999 / In final form: 14 February 2000 / Published online: 25 June 2001     

Uniqueness of Walkup's 9-vertex 3-dimensional Klein bottle

Via a computer search, Altshuler and Steinberg found that there are 1296+1 combinatorial 3-manifolds on nine vertices, of which only one is non-sphere. This exceptional 3-manifold triangulates the twisted S²-bundle over S¹. It was first constructed by Walkup. In this paper, we present a computer-free proof of the uniqueness of this non-sphere combinatorial 3-manifold. As opposed to the computer-generated proof, ours does not require wading through all the 9-vertex 3-spheres. As a preliminary result, we also show that any 9-vertex combinatorial 3-manifold is equivalent by proper bistellar moves to a 9-vertex neighbourly 3-manifold.     

Uniqueness of two phaseless non-overdetermined inverse acoustics problems in 3-d

Uniqueness is proven for two non-overdetermined 3-d inverse problems of the determination of the spatially distributed sound speed in the frequency dependent acoustic PDE. The main new point is the assumption that only the modulus of the scattered complex valued wave field is measured on a certain set. The phase is unknown.     

Two Comments Concerning the Uniqueness of Prime Factorizations for 3-Manifolds

The proof of the uniqueness of prime factorizations of non-orientable3-manifolds appearing in Hempel's text is patched.     

Uniqueness of weak solutions of time-dependent 3-D Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity

We prove the uniqueness of weak solutions of the time-dependent 3-D Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity with (Ψ ₀, A ₀) ∈ L ²(Ω) initial data under the hypothesis that (Ψ, A) ∈ C([0, T]; L ³(Ω)) using the Lorentz gauge.      

Uniqueness of Fq-quadratic perfect nonlinear maps from Fq3 to Fq2

Let q be a power of an odd prime. We prove that all ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-quadratic perfect nonlinear maps from ${\mathbb{F}}_{q^3}$ to ${\mathbb{F}}_q^2$ are equivalent. We also give a geometric method to find the corresponding equivalence explicitly.     

Uniqueness theorems for 3D inverse problems with incomplete data

In Ramm, Phys. Lett. 99A, (1983), 258-260, it is proved that a compactly supported inhomogeneity in the velocity profile is uniquely determined by the values of the acoustic pressure collected for all positions of the source and receiver on the surface of the earth ( on the whole plane P) at low frequencies. Here it is proved that the data collected on ω₁ x ω₂ suffice for the uniqueness theorem to hold, where ω₁ and ω₂ are arbitrary open sets on the plane P. This result holds also for the data collected on ω₁ × ω₂ at a fixed frequency.     

Unicellular Dessins and a Uniqueness Theorem for Klein's Riemann Surface of Genus 3

If we consider the 14-sided hyperbolic polygon of Felix Kleinthat defines his famous surface of genus 3, then we observethat we have a uniform, unifacial dessin whose automorphismgroup is transitive on the edges, but not on the directed edgesof the dessin. We show that Klein's surface is the unique platonicsurface with this property. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification30F10, 14H05.     

Existence and Uniqueness of Constant Mean Curvature Foliation of Asymptotically Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds

We prove existence and uniqueness of foliations by stable spheres with constant mean curvature for 3-manifolds which are asymptotic to anti-de Sitter–Schwarzschild metrics with positive mass. These metrics arise naturally as spacelike timeslices for solutions of the Einstein equation with a negative cosmological constant.     

Uniqueness of entire functions

Let f be a nonconstant entire function and let a be a meromorphic function satisfying T(r,a)=S(r,f) and a?a′. If f(z)=a(z)⇔f′(z)=a(z) and f(z)=a(z)⇒f″(z)=a(z), then f≡f′, and a?a′ is necessary. This extended a result due to Jank, Mues and Volkmann.
