Simultaneous approximation problems of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numbers and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic knapsack cryptosystems - Alice in <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numberland

In this paper we construct the multi-dimensional p-adic approximation lattices by using simultaneous approximation problems (SAP) of p-adic numbers and we estimate the l _∞ norm of the p-adic SAP solutions theoretically by applying Dirichlet’s principle and numerically by using the LLL algorithm. By using the SAP solutions as private keys, the security of which depends on NP-hardness of SAP or the shortest vector problems (SVP) of p-adic lattices, we propose a p-adic knapsack cryptosystem with commitment schemes, in which the sender Alice prepares ciphertexts and the verification keys in her p-adic numberland.     

On eigenvalues of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic curvature

We study the eigenvalues of the p-adic curvature transformationson buildings. In particular, we determine the maximal eigenvalues ofthese transformations.     

On Shalika models and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

We use modular symbols to construct p-adic L-functions for cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations on GL(2n), which admit a Shalika model. Our construction differs from former ones in that it systematically makes use of the representation theory of p-adic groups.     

Pseudodifferential <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic vector fields and pseudodifferentiation of a composite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic function

We discuss transformation of p-adic pseudodifferential operators (in the one-dimensional and multidimensional cases) with respect to p-adic maps which correspond to automorphisms of the tree of balls in the corresponding p-adic spaces. In the dimension one we find a rule of transformation for pseudodifferential operators. In particular we find the formula of pseudodifferentiation of a composite function with respect to the Vladimirov p-adic fractional operator. We describe the frame of wavelets for the group of parabolic automorphisms of the tree T (O _p ) of balls in O _p . In many dimensions we introduce the group of mod p-affine transformations, the family of pseudodifferential operators corresponding to pseudodifferentiation along vector fields on the tree T (O _p ) and obtain a rule of transformation of the introduced pseudodifferential operators with respect to mod p-affine transformations.     

Multidimensional Hausdorff operator on <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic field

p-Adic analogs of Hausdorff operator are introduced. Sufficient conditions of its boundedness in p-adic Hardy and BMO spaces are given. The Titchmarsh-type theorem about commuting relations between Hausdorff operator, its conjugate and p-adic Fourier transform is established.     

Kernels and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Kernels of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Superscript>-ary 1-Perfect Codes

The rank of a q-ary code C is the dimension of the subspace spanned by C. The kernel of a q-ary code C of length n can be defined as the set of all translations leaving C invariant. Some relations between the rank and the dimension of the kernel of q-ary 1-perfect codes, over as well as over the prime field , are established. Q-ary 1-perfect codes of length n=(q^m − 1)/(q − 1) with different kernel dimensions using switching constructions are constructed and some upper and lower bounds for the dimension of the kernel, once the rank is given, are established.Communicated by: I.F.

Conductors in <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic families

Let the function \(s_g\) map a positive integer to the sum of its digits in the base g. A number k is called n-flimsy in the base g if \(s_g(nk)<s_g(k)\). Clearly, given a base g, \(g\geqslant 2\), if n is a power of g, then there does not exist an n-flimsy number in the base g. We give a constructive proof of the existence of an n-flimsy number in the base g for all the other values of n (such an existence follows from the results of Schmidt and Steiner, but the explicit construction is a novelty). Our algorithm for construction of such a number, say k, is very flexible in the sense that, by easy modifications, we can impose further requirements on k—k ends with a given sequence of digits, k begins with a given sequence of digits, k is divisible by a given number (or belongs to a certain congruence class modulo a given number), etc.     

On elements of order <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis></Superscript> in the plane Cremona group over a field of characteristic <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>

We show that the plane Cremona group over a field of characteristic p > 0 does not contain elements of order of power of p larger than 2. We also describe conjugacy classes of elements of order p ². To the memory of Vasily Iskovskikh     

Cyclic Functions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Bold">R</Emphasis>), 1 \le <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < \infty

Functions whose translates span L ^p (R) are called L ^p-cyclic functions. For a fixed p \memb [1, \infty], we construct Schwartz-class functions which are L ^r -cyclic for r > p and not L ^r - cyclic for r \le p. We then construct Schwartz-class functions which are L ^r -cyclic for r \ge p and not L ^r -cyclic for r < p. The constructions differ for p \memb (1, 2) and p > 2.     

LP（Rn）-Boundedness of certain commutators

In this paper, the Lp(Rn)-boundedness of the commutators generalized by BMO(Rn) function and the singular integral operator T with rough kernel Ω∈ Llog+ L(Sn-1) is proved by using the Bony's formula for the paraproduct of two functions.     

On the parity of the class number of an imaginary abelian field of conductor 2<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis></Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let p be an odd prime number, and p^n₀{p^{n_0}} the highest power of p dividing 2 ^p−1 − 1. Let K_n=Q(z_pⁿ⁺¹){K_n={\bf Q}(\zeta_{p^{n+1}})} and L_n,j=K_n⁺(z_2^j+2){L_{n,j}=K_n^+(\zeta_{2^{j+2}})} for j ≥ 0. Let h_n^*{h_n^*} be the relative class number of K _n , and h _n,j the class number of L _n,j , respectively. Let n be an integer with n ≥ n ₀. We prove that if the ratio h_n^*/h_n-1^*{h_n^*/h_{n-1}^*} is odd, then h _n,j /h _n−1,j is odd for any j ≥ 0.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-consistency of wavelet estimators

This paper deals with the L ^p -consistency of wavelet estimators for a density function based on size-biased random samples. More precisely, we firstly show the L ^p -consistency of wavelet estimators for independent and identically distributed random vectors in R ^d . Then a similar result is obtained for negatively associated samples under the additional assumptions d = 1 and the monotonicity of the weight function.     

Upper triangular operators and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

For a newform f for Γ₀(N) of even weight k supersingular at a prime p ≥ 5, by using infinite dimensional p-adic analysis, we prove that the p-adic L-function L _p (f,α; χ) has finite order of vanishing at any character of the form [(c)\tilde] _s ( x ) = x^s\tilde \chi _s \left( x \right) = x^s. In particular, under the natural embedding of ℤ _p in the group of ℂ* _p -valued continuous characters of ℤ* _p , the order of vanishing at any point is finite.     

Digraph representations of rational functions over the <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numbers

In this paper, we construct a digraph structure on p-adic dynamical systems defined by rational functions. We study the conditions under which the functions are measure-preserving, invertible and isometric, ergodic, and minimal on invariant subsets, by means of graph theoretic properties.     

Nonlocal dynamics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic strings

We consider the construction of Lagrangians that might be suitable for describing the entire p-adic sector of an adelic open scalar string. These Lagrangians are constructed using the Lagrangian for p-adic strings with an arbitrary prime number p. They contain space-time nonlocality because of the d’Alembertian in the argument of the Riemann zeta function. We present a brief review and some new results.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-conjecture for locally compact groups

Let G be a locally compact group. For 1 < p < ∞, it is well-known that f * g exists and belongs to L^p(G) for all f, g L^p (G) if and only if G is compact. Here, for 2 < p < ∞, we show that f * g exists for all f, g L^p(G) if and only if G is compact. We also show that this result does not remain true for 1 < p ≤ 2. Received: 23 April 2006

On convex risk measures on <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-spaces

Much of the recent literature on risk measures is concerned with essentially bounded risks in L ^∞. In this paper we investigate in detail continuity and representation properties of convex risk measures on L ^p spaces. This frame for risks is natural from the point of view of applications since risks are typically modelled by unbounded random variables. The various continuity properties of risk measures can be interpreted as robustness properties and are useful tools for approximations. As particular examples of risk measures on L ^p we discuss the expected shortfall and the shortfall risk. In the final part of the paper we consider the optimal risk allocation problem for L ^p risks.     

Hausdorff operator of special kind on <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic field and <Emphasis Type="Italic">BMO</Emphasis>-type spaces

For Hausdorff operator with generating function having support in the unit ball of p-adic field ℚ _p we give sufficient and necessary conditions of its boundedness in BMO-type spaces: BLO(ℚ _p ⁿ ), Q _r ^α,q (ℚ _p ⁿ ) and BMO _r ^α,q (ℚ _p ⁿ ). Some embedding relations between these spaces and Besov spaces are established.
