Some remarks on the moments of \left| {\varsigma \left( {\tfrac{1} {2} + it} \right)} \right| in short intervals

Some new results on power moments of the integral $$ J_k (t,G) = \frac{1} {{\sqrt {\pi G} }}\int_{ - \infty }^\infty { \left| {\varsigma \left( {\tfrac{1} {2} + it + iu} \right)} \right|^{2k} } e^{ - (u/G)^2 } du $$ (t ? T, T ^? ≦ G ? T, κ ∈ N) are obtained when κ = 1. These results can be used to derive bounds for moments of $ \left| {\varsigma \left( {\tfrac{1} {2} + it} \right)} \right| $ .     

Uniqueness of \mathbb{C}^{ * } - and \mathbb{C}_{{\text{ + }}} -actions on Gizatullin Surfaces

A Gizatullin surface is a normal affine surface V over $ \mathbb{C} $ , which can be completed by a zigzag; that is, by a linear chain of smooth rational curves. In this paper we deal with the question of uniqueness of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions and $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations on such a surface V up to automorphisms. The latter fibrations are in one to one correspondence with $ \mathbb{C}_{{\text{ + }}} $ -actions on V considered up to a “speed change”. Non-Gizatullin surfaces are known to admit at most one $ \mathbb{A}^{1} $ -fibration V → S up to an isomorphism of the base S. Moreover, an effective $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -action on them, if it does exist, is unique up to conjugation and inversion t $ \mapsto $ t ^?1 of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ . Obviously, uniqueness of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions fails for affine toric surfaces. There is a further interesting family of nontoric Gizatullin surfaces, called the Danilov-Gizatullin surfaces, where there are in general several conjugacy classes of $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -actions and $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations, see, e.g., [FKZ1]. In the present paper we obtain a criterion as to when $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations of Gizatullin surfaces are conjugate up to an automorphism of V and the base $ S \cong \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ . We exhibit as well large subclasses of Gizatullin $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -surfaces for which a $ \mathbb{C}^{ * } $ -action is essentially unique and for which there are at most two conjugacy classes of $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ -fibrations over $ \mathbb{A}^{{\text{1}}} $ .     

Uniqueness of integrable solutions to {\nabla \zeta=G \zeta, \zeta|_\Gamma = 0} for integrable tensor coefficients G and applications to elasticity

Let ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}}$ be a Lipschitz domain and Γ be a relatively open and non-empty subset of its boundary ${\partial\Omega}$ . We show that the solution to the linear first-order system $$\nabla \zeta = G\zeta, \, \, \zeta|_\Gamma = 0 \quad \quad \quad (1)$$ is unique if ${G \in \textsf{L}^{1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{(N \times N) \times N})}$ and ${\zeta \in \textsf{W}^{1,1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{N})}$ . As a consequence, we prove $$||| \cdot ||| : \textsf{C}_{o}^{\infty}(\Omega, \Gamma; \mathbb{R}^{3}) \rightarrow [0, \infty), \, \, u \mapsto \parallel {\rm sym}(\nabla uP^{-1})\parallel_{\textsf{L}^{2}(\Omega)}$$ to be a norm for ${P \in \textsf{L}^{\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ with Curl ${P \in \textsf{L}^{p}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ , Curl ${P^{-1} \in \textsf{L}^{q}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3 \times 3})}$ for some p, q > 1 with 1/p + 1/q = 1 as well as det ${P \geq c^+ > 0}$ . We also give a new and different proof for the so-called ‘infinitesimal rigid displacement lemma’ in curvilinear coordinates: Let ${\Phi \in \textsf{H}^{1}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3})}$ satisfy sym ${(\nabla\Phi^\top\nabla\Psi) = 0}$ for some ${\Psi \in \textsf{W}^{1,\infty}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3}) \cap \textsf{H}^{2}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^{3})}$ with det ${\nabla\Psi \geq c^+ > 0}$ . Then, there exist a constant translation vector ${a \in \mathbb{R}^{3}}$ and a constant skew-symmetric matrix ${A \in \mathfrak{so}(3)}$ , such that ${\Phi = A\Psi + a}$ .     

Linearity and Second Fundamental Forms for Proper Holomorphic Maps from \mathbb{B}^{n+1} to \mathbb{B}^{4n-3}

For a holomorphic proper map F from the ball $\mathbb{B}^{n+1}$ into $\mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ that is C ³ smooth up to the boundary, the image $M=F(\partial\mathbb{B}^{n})$ is an immersed CR submanifold in the sphere $\partial \mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ on which some second fundamental forms II _M and $\mathit{II}^{CR}_{M}$ can be defined. It is shown that when 4??n+1<N+1??4n?3, F is linear fractional if and only if $\mathit{II}_{M} - \mathit{II}_{M}^{CR} \equiv 0$ .     

Some new estimates of the Fourier-Bessel transform in the space \mathbb{L}_2 \left( {\mathbb{R}_ + } \right)

The Fourier-Bessel integral transform $$g\left( x \right) = F\left[ f \right]\left( x \right) = \frac{1} {{2^p \Gamma \left( {p + 1} \right)}}\int\limits_0^{ + \infty } {t^{2p + 1} f\left( x \right)j_p \left( {xt} \right)dt}$$ is considered in the space $\mathbb{L}_2 \left( {\mathbb{R}_ + } \right)$ . Here, j _p (u) = ((2 ^p Γ(p+1))/(u ^p ))J _p (u) and J _p (u) is a Bessel function of the first kind. New estimates are proved for the integral $$\delta _N^2 \left( f \right) = \int\limits_N^{ + \infty } {x^{2p + 1} g^2 \left( x \right)dx, N > 0,}$$ in $\mathbb{L}_2 \left( {\mathbb{R}_ + } \right)$ for some classes of functions characterized by a generalized modulus of continuity.     

On the Equivariant Cohomology of Subvarieties of a \mathfrak{B}-Regular Variety

By a $\mathfrak{B}$ -regular variety, we mean a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$ admitting an algebraic action of the upper triangular Borel subgroup $\mathfrak{B} \subset {\text{SL}}_{2} {\left( \mathbb{C} \right)}$ such that the unipotent radical in $\mathfrak{B}$ has a unique fixed point. A result of Brion and the first author [4] describes the equivariant cohomology algebra (over $\mathbb{C}$ ) of a $\mathfrak{B}$ -regular variety X as the coordinate ring of a remarkable affine curve in $X \times \mathbb{P}^{1}$ . The main result of this paper uses this fact to classify the $\mathfrak{B}$ -invariant subvarieties Y of a $\mathfrak{B}$ -regular variety X for which the restriction map i _Y : H ^*(X) → H ^*(Y) is surjective.     

A zoo of diffeomorphism groups on \mathbb{R }^{n}

We consider the groups ${\mathrm{Diff }}_\mathcal{B }(\mathbb{R }^n)$ , ${\mathrm{Diff }}_{H^\infty }(\mathbb{R }^n)$ , and ${\mathrm{Diff }}_{\mathcal{S }}(\mathbb{R }^n)$ of smooth diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{R }^n$ which differ from the identity by a function which is in either $\mathcal{B }$ (bounded in all derivatives), $H^\infty = \bigcap _{k\ge 0}H^k$ , or $\mathcal{S }$ (rapidly decreasing). We show that all these groups are smooth regular Lie groups.     

The explicit solutions ofC_{p,q}^{k + \alpha } -form for the\bar \partial -equations on pseudoconvex open sets

In this paper, we study the integral solution operators for the $\bar \partial $ -equations on pseudoconvex domains. As a generalization of [1] for the $\bar \partial $ -equations on pseudoconvex domains with boundary of classC ^∞, we obtain the explicit integral operator solutions of $C_{p,q}^{k + \alpha } $ -form for the $\bar \partial $ -equations on pseudoconvex open sets with boundary ofC ^k (k≥0) and the sup-norm estimates of which solutions have similar as that [1] in form.     

Quasilinear elliptic equations in \mathbb{R }^{N} via variational methods and Orlicz-Sobolev embeddings

In this paper we prove the existence of a nontrivial non-negative radial solution for the quasilinear elliptic problem $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l@{\quad }l} -\nabla \cdot \left[\phi ^{\prime }(|\nabla u|^2)\nabla u \right] +|u|^{\alpha -2}u =|u|^{s-2} u,&x\in \mathbb{R }^{N},\\ u(x) \rightarrow 0, \quad \text{ as} |x|\rightarrow \infty , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ where $N\ge 2, \phi (t)$ behaves like $t^{q/2}$ for small $t$ and $t^{p/2}$ for large $t, 1< p<q<N, 1<\alpha \le p^* q^{\prime }/p^{\prime }$ and $\max \{q,\alpha \}< s<p^*,$ being $p^*=\frac{pN}{N-p}$ and $p^{\prime }$ and $q^{\prime }$ the conjugate exponents, respectively, of $p$ and $q$ . Our aim is to approach the problem variationally by using the tools of critical points theory in an Orlicz-Sobolev space. A multiplicity result is also given.     

Hausdorff measures of subgroups of \mathbb{R }/\mathbb{Z } and \mathbb{R }

For a sequence $\underline{u}=(u_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N }}$ of integers, let $t_{\underline{u}}(\mathbb{T })$ be the group of all topologically $\underline{u}$ -torsion elements of the circle group $\mathbb{T }:=\mathbb{R }/\mathbb{Z }$ . We show that for any $s\in ]0,1[$ and $m\in \{0,+\infty \}$ there exists $\underline{u}$ such that $t_{\underline{u}}(\mathbb{T })$ has Hausdorff dimension $s$ and $s$ -dimensional Hausdorff measure equal to $m$ (no other values for $m$ are possible). More generally, for dimension functions $f,g$ with $f(t)\prec g(t), f(t)\prec \!\!\!\prec t$ and $g(t)\prec \!\!\!\prec t$ we find $\underline{u}$ such that $t_{\underline{u}}(\mathbb{T })$ has at the same time infinite $f$ -measure and null $g$ -measure.     

{\mathbb{G}_a^ M} degeneration of flag varieties

Let ${\mathcal{F}_\lambda}$ be a generalized flag variety of a simple Lie group G embedded into the projectivization of an irreducible G-module V _λ . We define a flat degeneration ${\mathcal{F}_\lambda^a}$ , which is a ${\mathbb{G}^M_a}$ variety. Moreover, there exists a larger group G ^a acting on ${\mathcal{F}_\lambda^a}$ , which is a degeneration of the group G. The group G ^a contains ${\mathbb{G}^M_a}$ as a normal subgroup. If G is of type A, then the degenerate flag varieties can be embedde‘d into the product of Grassmannians and thus to the product of projective spaces. The defining ideal of ${\mathcal{F}_\lambda}$ is generated by the set of degenerate Plücker relations. We prove that the coordinate ring of ${\mathcal{F}_\lambda^a}$ is isomorphic to a direct sum of dual PBW-graded ${\mathfrak{g}}$ -modules. We also prove that there exists bases in multi-homogeneous components of the coordinate rings, parametrized by the semistandard PBW-tableux, which are analogs of semistandard tableaux.     

Towards a classification of modular compactifications of \mathcal {M}_{g,n}

The moduli space of smooth curves admits a beautiful compactification $\mathcal{M}_{g,n} \subset \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ by the moduli space of stable curves. In this paper, we undertake a systematic classification of alternate modular compactifications of $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ . Let $\mathcal{U}_{g,n}$ be the (non-separated) moduli stack of all n-pointed reduced, connected, complete, one-dimensional schemes of arithmetic genus g. When g=0, $\mathcal{U}_{0,n}$ is irreducible and we classify all open proper substacks of $\mathcal{U}_{0,n}$ . When g≥1, $\mathcal{U}_{g,n}$ may not be irreducible, but there is a unique irreducible component $\mathcal{V}_{g,n} \subset\mathcal{U}_{g,n}$ containing $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ . We classify open proper substacks of $\mathcal {V}_{g,n}$ satisfying a certain stability condition.     

The \mathfrak {sl}_{3}-web algebra

In this paper we use Kuperberg’s $\mathfrak {sl}_3$ -webs and Khovanov’s $\mathfrak {sl}_3$ -foams to define a new algebra $K^S$ , which we call the $\mathfrak {sl}_3$ -web algebra. It is the $\mathfrak {sl}_3$ analogue of Khovanov’s arc algebra. We prove that $K^S$ is a graded symmetric Frobenius algebra. Furthermore, we categorify an instance of $q$ -skew Howe duality, which allows us to prove that $K^S$ is Morita equivalent to a certain cyclotomic KLR-algebra of level 3. This allows us to determine the split Grothendieck group $K^{\oplus }_0(\mathcal {W}^S)_{\mathbb {Q}(q)}$ , to show that its center is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a certain Spaltenstein variety, and to prove that $K^S$ is a graded cellular algebra.     

Decompositions of {\mathbb {R}^n, n \ge 4} , into Convex Sets Generate Codimension 1 Manifold Factors

We show that if G is an upper semicontinuous decomposition ${\mathbb {R}^n, n \ge 4}$ , into convex sets, then the quotient space ${\mathbb {R}^n/G}$ is a codimension 1 manifold factor. In particular, we show that ${\mathbb {R}^n/G}$ has the disjoint arc-disk property.     

Isometric Immersions into {\mathbb{S}^m \times \mathbb{R}} and {\mathbb{H}^m \times \mathbb{R}} with High Codimensions

In this paper, we obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for a simply connected Riemannian manifold (M ⁿ , g) to be isometrically immersed into ${\mathbb{S}^m \times \mathbb{R}}$ and ${\mathbb{H}^m \times \mathbb{R}}$ .     

Generalized \mathcal{C}-concave conditions and their applications

We first introduce two general $\mathcal{C}$ -concave conditions, and show the implications between $\mathcal{C}$ -concave, diagonally $\mathcal{C}$ -concave, diagonally $\mathcal{C}$ -quasiconcave, and ??-diagonally $\mathcal{C}$ -quasiconcave conditions which generalize both concavity and quasiconcavity simultaneously without assuming the linear structure. Using the ??-diagonal $\mathcal{C}$ -quasiconcavity, we prove two non-compact minimax inequalities in a topological space which generalize Fan??s minimax inequality and its generalizations in several aspects. As applications, we will prove a general minimax theorem and basic geometric formulations of the minimax inequality in a topological space.     

Classification of rotational special Weingarten surfaces of minimal type in {\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}} and {\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}

In this paper we classify the complete rotational special Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ and ${\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ ; i.e. rotational surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ and ${\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ whose mean curvature H and extrinsic curvature K _e satisfy H = f(H ² ? K _e ), for some function ${f \in \mathcal{C}^1([0,+\infty))}$ such that f(0) = 0 and 4x(f′(x))² < 1 for any x ≥ 0. Furthermore we show the existence of non-complete examples of such surfaces.     

Sensitivity of best recovery in the Sobolev spaces W_\infty ^{r,d} , \widetilde W_\infty ^{r,d}for perturbed sampling

Let $I^d $ be the d‐dimensional cube, $I^d = [0,1]^d $ , and let $F \ni f \mapsto Sf \in L_\infty (I^d ) $ be a linear operator acting on the Sobolev space F, where Fis either $$$$ or $$$$ where $$\left\| f \right\|_F = \sum\limits_{\left| m \right| = r} {\mathop {{\text{esssup}}}\limits_{x \in I^d } \left| {\frac{{\partial f^{\left| m \right|} }} {{\partial x_1^{m_1 } \partial x_2^{m_2 } \cdot \cdot \cdot \partial x_d^{m_d } }}(x)} \right|.} $$ We assume that the problem elements fsatisfy the condition $\sum\nolimits_{\left| m \right| = r} {{\text{esssup}}} _{x \in I^d } \left| {f^{(m)} (x)} \right| \leqslant 1 $ and that Sis continuous with respect to the supremum norm. We study sensitivity of optimal recovery of Sfrom inexact samples of ftaken at npoints forming a uniform grid on $I^d $ . We assume that the inaccuracy in reading the sample vector is measured in the pth norm and bounded by a nonnegative number δ. The sensitivity is defined by the difference between the optimal errors corresponding to the exact and perturbed readings, respectively. Our main result is that this difference is bounded by $\mathcal{A}\delta $ , where $\mathcal{A} $ is a positive constant independent of the number of samples. This indicates that the curse of dimension, which badly affects the optimal errors, does not extend to sensitivity.
