A characterization of symmetric Siegel domains through a Cayley transform

In this paper we give a characterization of symmetric Siegel domains in terms of a certain norm equality which involves a Cayley transform.     

Completely normal elements in some finite abelian extensions

We present some completely normal elements in the maximal real subfields of cyclotomic fields over the field of rational numbers, relying on the criterion for normal element developed in [Jung H.Y., Koo J.K., Shin D.H., Normal bases of ray class fields over imaginary quadratic fields, Math. Z., 2012, 271(1–2), 109–116]. And, we further find completely normal elements in certain abelian extensions of modular function fields in terms of Siegel functions.     

Sharp Norm Estimates for Weighted Bergman Projections in the Mixed Norm Spaces

In this paper, we show that the norm of the Bergman projection on L^p,q-spaces in the upper half-plane is comparable to csc(π/q). Then we extend this result to a more general class of domains, known as the homogeneous Siegel domains of type II.     

On the constructions of MDS self-dual codes via cyclotomy

MDS self-dual codes over finite fields have attracted a lot of attention in recent years by their theoretical interests in coding theory and applications in cryptography and combinatorics. In this paper we present a series of MDS self-dual codes with new length by using generalized Reed-Solomon codes and extended generalized Reed-Solomon codes as the candidates of MDS codes and taking their evaluation sets as a union of cyclotomic classes. The conditions on such MDS codes being self-dual are expressed in terms of cyclotomic numbers.     

Geometric norm equality related to the harmonicity of the Poisson kernel for homogeneous Siegel domains

In this paper, we present a geometric norm equality involving an admissible linear form ω for the Shilov boundary of a homogeneous Siegel domain D. We prove that the validity of this norm equality is equivalent to the symmetry of D and the reduction of ω essentially to the Koszul form. This, in particular, reveals a geometric reason that the Poisson kernel is annihilated by the Laplace-Beltrami operator if and only if D is symmetric, a theorem due to Hua, Look, Korányi and Xu.     

Fusion Procedure for Cyclotomic BMW Algebras

In this paper, we prove that the pairwise orthogonal primitive idempotents of generic cyclotomic Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras can be constructed by consecutive evaluations of a certain rational function. In the Appendix, we prove a similar result for generic cyclotomic Nazarov-Wenzl algebras. A consequence of the constructions is a one-parameter family of fusion procedures for the cyclotomic Hecke algebra and its degenerate analogue.     

Kohnen’s limit process for real-analytic Siegel modular forms

Kohnen introduced a limit process for Siegel modular forms that produces Jacobi forms. He asked if there is a space of real-analytic Siegel modular forms such that skew-holomorphic Jacobi forms arise via this limit process. In this paper, we initiate the study of harmonic skew-Maass–Jacobi forms and harmonic Siegel–Maass forms. We improve a result of Maass on the Fourier coefficients of harmonic Siegel–Maass forms, which allows us to establish a connection to harmonic skew-Maass–Jacobi forms. In particular, we answer Kohnen’s question in the affirmative.     

A note on inverses of cyclotomic mapping permutation polynomials over finite fields

In this note, we give a shorter proof of the result of Zheng, Yu, and Pei on the explicit formula of inverses of generalized cyclotomic permutation polynomials over finite fields. Moreover, we characterize all these cyclotomic permutation polynomials that are involutions. Our results provide a fast algorithm (only modular operations are involved) to generate many classes of generalized cyclotomic permutation polynomials, their inverses, and involutions.     

Reidemeister torsion and lens surgeries on knots in homology 3-spheres II

We introduce the norm and the order of a polynomial and of a homology lens space. We calculate the norm of the cyclotomic polynomials, and apply it to lens surgery problem for a knot whose Alexander polynomial is the same as an iterated torus knot.     

Cyclotomic units and Stickelberger ideals of global function fields

In this paper, we define the group of cyclotomic units and Stickelberger ideals in any subfield of the cyclotomic function field. We also calculate the index of the group of cyclotomic units in the total unit group in some special cases and the index of Stickelberger ideals in the integral group ring.

     

The first factor of the class number of the p-th cyclotomic field

Kummer’s conjecture states that the relative class number of the p-th cyclotomic field follows a strict asymptotic law. Granville has shown it unlikely to be true—it cannot be true if we assume the truth of two other widely believed conjectures. We establish a new bound for the error term in Kummer’s conjecture, and more precisely we prove that ${\log(h_p^-)=\frac{p+3}{4} \log p +\frac{p}{2}\log(2\pi)+\log(1-\beta)+O(\log_2 p)}$ , where β is a possible Siegel zero of an ${L(s,\chi), \chi}$ odd.     

On the cyclotomic polynomial

For a given positive integer m and an algebraic number field K necessary and sufficient conditions for the mth cyclotomic polynomial to have K-integral solutions modulo a given integer of K are given. Among applications thereof are: that the solvability of the cyclotomic polynomial mod an integer yields information about the class number of related number fields; and about representation of integers by binary quadratic forms. The latter extends previous work of the author. Moreover some information is obtained pertaining to when an integer of K is the norm of an integer in a given quadratic extension of K. Finally an explicit determination of the pqth cyclotomic polynomial for distinct primes p and q is provided, and known results in the literature as well as generalizations thereof are obtained.     

On some new difference systems of sets constructed from the cyclotomic classes of order 12

Difference system of sets (DSS), introduced by Levenshtein, has an interesting connection with the construction of comma-free codes. In this paper, we construct two new families of DSS from the cyclotomic classes of order 12.     

The symbolical and cancellation-free formulae for Schur elements

In this paper we give the symbolical formula and cancellation-free formula for the Schur elements associated to the simple modules of the degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras. As some applications, we show that the Schur elements are symmetric polynomials with rational integer coefficients and give a different proof of Ariki–Mathas–Rui’s criterion on the semisimplicity of the degenerate cyclotomic Hecke algebras.     

On the proof of the reciprocity law for arithmetic Siegel modular functions

Earlier we obtained a new proof of Shimura’s reciprocity law for the special values of arithmetic Hilbert modular functions. In this note we show how from this result one may derive Shimura’s reciprocity law for special values of arithmetic Siegel modular functions. To achieve this we use Shimura’s classification of the special points of the Siegel space, Satake’s classification of the equivariant holomorphic imbeddings of Hilbert-Siegel modular spaces into a larger Siegel space, and, finally, a corrected version of some of Karel’s results giving an action of the Galois group Gal(Q_ab/Q) on arithmetic Siegel modular forms.

On the chaotic behavior of a generalized logistic p-adic dynamical system

In the paper we describe basin of attraction p-adic dynamical system G(x)=(ax)²(x+1). Moreover, we also describe the Siegel discs of the system, since the structure of the orbits of the system is related to the geometry of the p-adic Siegel discs.     

Reduced words and a length function for G(e,1,n)

In the first part of this paper we study normal forms of elements of the imprimitive complex reflection group G(e,1,n). This allows to prove a conjecture of Broué on basis elements and the canonical symmetrizing form of the associated cyclotomic Hecke algebra. Secondly we introduce a root system for G(e,1,n) and study the associated length function. This has many properties in common with the usual length function for finite Weyl groups.     

Fourier-Jacobi expansion and the Ikeda lift

In this article, we consider a Fourier-Jacobi expansion of Siegel modular forms generated by the Ikeda lift. There are two purposes of this article: first, to give an expression of L-function of certain Siegel modular forms of half-integral weight of odd degree; and secondly, to give a relation among Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of Siegel modular forms generated by the Ikeda lift.     

On circular units over the cyclotomic ℤ p -Extension of an abelian field

Let K be an abelian number field of conductor f and p a prime. Sinnott defined circular units C^s_K of K using the norm maps from the cyclotomic units of the nth cyclotomic fields for all n and Washington defined circular units C^w_K of K to be the Galois invariant of the cyclotomic units of the fth cyclotomic field. In this note, we investigate a question raised by Kolster in [5] of whether the projective limits of circular units of Sinnott and Washington over the cyclotomic _p-extension of K are equal. Belliard [2] and Kuera [6] found independently some counter examples to this question. The purpose of this note is to find some conditions on the ground field K under which Kolsters question has an affirmative answer.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 11R27, 11R29
