On the SO(n + 3) to SO(n) branching multiplicity space

We study the decomposition as an $\text{SO}(3)$-module of the multiplicity space corresponding to the branching from $\text{SO}(n+3)$ to $\text{SO}(n)$. Here, $\text{SO}(n)$ (resp. $\text{SO}(3)$) is considered embedded in $\text{SO}(n+3)$ in the upper left-hand block (resp. lower right-hand block). We show that when the highest weight of the irreducible representation of $\text{SO}(n)$ interlaces the highest weight of the irreducible representation of $\text{SO}(n+3)$, then the multiplicity space decomposes as a tensor product of $?(n+2)/2?$ reducible representations of $\text{SO}(3)$.     

Le nombre des diviseurs unitaires d'un entier dans les progressions arithmétiques

Let the functions $d_{k\text{,}l}^{*}(n)$ and $d_{k\text{,}l}(n)$ be number of unitary divisors (see below) and number of divisors n in arithmetic progressions $\{l+mk\}$; k and l are integers relatively prime such that $1?l?k$ and let, for $n?2$

$F(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)=\frac{\ln (d_{k\text{,}l}(n))\ln (\phi (k)\ln n)}{\ln n}\text{,}{F}^{*}(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)=\frac{\ln (d_{k\text{,}l}^{*}(n))\ln (\phi (k)\ln n)}{\ln n}\text{and}$

$D^{*}(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)=\frac{\ln (d_{k\text{,}l}(n)/d_{k\text{,}l}^{*}(n))\ln (\phi (k)\ln n)}{\ln n}\text{,}$

where $\phi (k)$ is Euler's totient. The function $F(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)$ has been studied in [A. Derbal, A. Smati, C. A. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 339 (2004) 87–90]. In this Note we study the functions $F^{*}(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)$ and $D^{*}(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)$. We give explicitly their maximal orders and we compute effectively the maximum of $F^{*}(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)$ for $k=1\text{,}2\text{,}3$ and that of $D^{*}(n\text{;}k\text{,}l)$ for $k=1\text{,}3\text{,}5\text{,}7\text{,}8\text{,}9\text{,}10\text{,}11\text{,}13$.

On the comparison principle for unbounded solutions of elliptic equations with first order terms

We prove a comparison principle for unbounded weak sub/super solutions of the equation

$\lambda u?\text{div}(A(x)Du)=H(x,Du)\text{ in }\mathrm{\Omega }$

where $A(x)$ is a bounded coercive matrix with measurable ingredients, $\lambda \ge 0$ and $\xi ?H(x,\xi )$ has a super linear growth and is convex at infinity. We improve earlier results where the convexity of $H(x,?)$ was required to hold globally.     

A new method for lower bounds of L-functions

Let $L(s\text{,}\pi \text{,}r)$ be an L-function which appears in the Langlands–Shahidi theory. We give a lower bound for $L(s\text{,}\pi \text{,}r)$ when $\mathfrak{R}(s)=1$ using Eisenstein series. This method is applicable even when $L(s\text{,}\pi \text{,}r)$ is not known to be absolutely convergent for $\mathfrak{R}(s)>1$. To cite this article: S.S. Gelbart et al., C. R. Acad. Sci.

Invariant measures of stochastic partial differential equations and conditioned diffusions

This work establishes and exploits a connection between the invariant measure of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) and the law of bridge processes. Namely, it is shown that the invariant measure of $u_t=u_{xx}+f(u)+\sqrt{2?}\eta (x\text{,}t)$, where $\eta (x\text{,}t)$ is a space–time white-noise, is identical to the law of the bridge process associated to $\mathrm{d}U=a(U)\mathrm{d}x+\sqrt{?}\mathrm{d}W(x)$, provided that a and f are related by $?a^{″}(u)+2a^{\prime }(u)a(u)=?2f(u)$, $u\in \mathbb{R}$. Some consequences of this connection are investigated, including the existence and properties of the invariant measure for the SPDE on the line, $x\in \mathbb{R}$. To cite this article: M.G.
