The Gray images of $$$$ constacyclic codes over $$F_{2^m}[u]/\langle u^{k} \rangle $$F2m[u]/⟨uk⟩

Let \(R_{k}\) denote the polynomial residue ring \(F_{2^m}[u]/\langle u^{k} \rangle \), where \(2^{j-1}+1\le k\le 2^{j}\) for some positive integer \(j\). Motivated by the work in [1], we introduce a new Gray map from \(R_{k}\) to \(F_{2^m}^{2^{j}}\). It is proved that the Gray image of a linear \((1+u)\) constacyclic code of an arbitrary length \(N\) over \(R_{k}\) is a distance invariant linear cyclic code of length \(2^{j}N\) over \(F_{2^m}\). Moreover, the generator polynomial of the Gray image of such a constacyclic code is determined, and some optimal linear cyclic codes over \(F_{2}\) and \(F_{4}\) are constructed under this Gray map.     

Uniqueness of self-shrinkers to the degree-one curvature flow with a tangent cone at infinity

Given a smooth, symmetric and homogeneous of degree one function \(f\left( \lambda _{1},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\right) \) satisfying \(\partial _{i}f>0\quad \forall \,i=1,\ldots , n\), and a properly embedded smooth cone \({\mathcal {C}}\) in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n+1}\), we show that under suitable conditions on f, there is at most one f self-shrinker (i.e. a hypersurface \(\Sigma \) in \({\mathbb {R}}^{n+1}\) satisfying \(f\left( \kappa _{1},\ldots ,\kappa _{n}\right) +\frac{1}{2}X\cdot N=0\), where \(\kappa _{1},\ldots ,\kappa _{n}\) are principal curvatures of \(\Sigma \)) that is asymptotic to the given cone \({\mathcal {C}}\) at infinity.     

Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind via raising operator preserving the orthogonality

It is well known that monic orthogonal polynomial sequences \(\{T_n\}_{n\ge 0}\) and \(\{U_n\}_{n\ge 0}\), the Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind, satisfy the relation \(DT_{n+1}=(n+1)U_n\) (\(n\ge 0\)). One can also easily check that the following “inverse” of the mentioned formula holds: \({\mathcal {U}}_{-1}(U_n)=(n+1)T_{n+1}\) (\(n\ge 0\)), where \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi =x(xD+{\mathbb {I}})+\xi D\) with \(\xi \) being an arbitrary nonzero parameter and \({\mathbb {I}}\) representing the identity operator. Note that whereas the first expression involves the operator D which lowers the degree by one, the second one involves \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi \) which raises the degree by one (i.e. it is a “raising operator”). In this paper it is shown that the scaled Chebyshev polynomial sequence \(\{a^{-n}U_n(ax)\}_{n\ge 0}\) where \(a^2=-\xi ^{-1}\), is actually the only monic orthogonal polynomial sequence which is \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi \)-classical (i.e. for which the application of the raising operator \({\mathcal {U}}_\xi \) turns the original sequence into another orthogonal one).     

Unitary Equivalence of Composition C$$^*$$-Algebras on the Hardy and Weighted Bergman Spaces

Let \(\varphi \) be an arbitrary linear-fractional self-map of the unit disk \({\mathbb {D}}\) and consider the composition operator \(C_{-1, \varphi }\) and the Toeplitz operator \(T_{-1,z}\) on the Hardy space \(H^2\) and the corresponding operators \(C_{\alpha , \varphi }\) and \(T_{\alpha , z}\) on the weighted Bergman spaces \(A^2_{\alpha }\) for \(\alpha >-1\). We prove that the unital C\(^*\)-algebra \(C^*(T_{\alpha , z}, C_{\alpha , \varphi })\) generated by \(T_{\alpha , z}\) and \(C_{\alpha , \varphi }\) is unitarily equivalent to \(C^*(T_{-1, z}, C_{-1, \varphi }),\) which extends a known result for automorphism-induced composition operators. For maps \(\varphi \) that are not automorphisms of \({\mathbb {D}}\), we show that \(C^*(C_{\alpha , \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{\alpha })\) is unitarily equivalent to \(C^*(C_{-1, \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{-1})\), where \({\mathcal {K}}_{\alpha }\) and \({\mathcal {K}}_{-1}\) denote the ideals of compact operators on \(A^2_{\alpha }\) and \(H^2\), respectively, and apply existing structure theorems for \(C^*(C_{-1, \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{-1})/{\mathcal {K}}_{-1}\) to describe the structure of \(C^*(C_{\alpha , \varphi }, {\mathcal {K}}_{\alpha })/\mathcal {K_{\alpha }}\), up to isomorphism. We also establish a unitary equivalence between related weighted composition operators induced by maps \(\varphi \) that fix a point on the unit circle.     

Central Limit Theorem for Linear Eigenvalue Statistics for a Tensor Product Version of Sample Covariance Matrices

For \(k,m,n\in {\mathbb {N}}\), we consider \(n^k\times n^k\) random matrices of the form

$$\begin{aligned} {\mathcal {M}}_{n,m,k}({\mathbf {y}})=\sum _{\alpha =1}^m\tau _\alpha {Y_\alpha }Y_\alpha ^T,\quad {Y}_\alpha ={\mathbf {y}}_\alpha ^{(1)}\otimes \cdots \otimes {\mathbf {y}}_\alpha ^{(k)}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\tau _{\alpha }\), \(\alpha \in [m]\), are real numbers and \({\mathbf {y}}_\alpha ^{(j)}\), \(\alpha \in [m]\), \(j\in [k]\), are i.i.d. copies of a normalized isotropic random vector \({\mathbf {y}}\in {\mathbb {R}}^n\). For every fixed \(k\ge 1\), if the Normalized Counting Measures of \(\{\tau _{\alpha }\}_{\alpha }\) converge weakly as \(m,n\rightarrow \infty \), \(m/n^k\rightarrow c\in [0,\infty )\) and \({\mathbf {y}}\) is a good vector in the sense of Definition 1.1, then the Normalized Counting Measures of eigenvalues of \({\mathcal {M}}_{n,m,k}({\mathbf {y}})\) converge weakly in probability to a nonrandom limit found in Marchenko and Pastur (Math USSR Sb 1:457–483, 1967). For \(k=2\), we define a subclass of good vectors \({\mathbf {y}}\) for which the centered linear eigenvalue statistics \(n^{-1/2}{{\mathrm{Tr}}}\varphi ({\mathcal {M}}_{n,m,2}({\mathbf {y}}))^\circ \) converge in distribution to a Gaussian random variable, i.e., the Central Limit Theorem is valid.

     

The Whitney Extension Theorem for $$C^1$$, Horizontal Curves in the Heisenberg Group

For a real-valued function defined on a compact set \(K \subset {\mathbb {R}}^m\), the classical Whitney Extension Theorem from 1934 gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a \(C^k\) extension to \({\mathbb {R}}^m\). In this paper, we prove a version of the Whitney Extension Theorem in the case of \(C^1\), horizontal extensions for mappings defined on compact subsets of \({\mathbb {R}}\) taking values in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group \(\mathbb {H}^n\).     

Towards a Comprehensive Stability Theory for Feynman’s Operational Calculus: The Time-Dependent Setting

We obtain lower bounds on blow-up of solutions for the 3D magneto-micropolar equations. More precisely, we establish some estimates for the solution \((\mathbf{u},\mathbf{w},\mathbf{b}) (t)\) in its maximal interval \([0,T^{*})\) provided that \(T^{*}<\infty\), which show for \(\delta\in(0,1)\) that \(\|(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{w},\mathbf{b})(t)\|_{\dot{H}^{s}}\) is at least of the order \((T^{*}-t)^{-(\delta s)/(1+2\delta)}\) for \(s\geq1/2+\delta\). In particular, by choosing a suitable \(\delta\), one concludes that \(\|(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{w},\mathbf{b})(t)\|_{\dot{H}^{s}}\) is at least of the order \((T^{*}-t)^{-s/4}\), and \((T^{*}-t)^{1/4-s/2}\) for \(s\geq1\), and \(1/2< s<3/2\), respectively. We also show that \((T^{*}-t)^{-s/3}\) is a lower rate for \(\|(\mathbf{u},\mathbf{w},\mathbf{b})(t)\|_{\dot{H}^{s}}\) if \(s>3/2\).     

A partition relation for pairs on $$\omega ^{\omega ^\omega }$$

We consider colorings of the pairs of a family \(\mathcal {F}\subseteq {{\mathrm{FIN}}}\) of topological type \(\omega ^{\omega ^k}\), for \(k>1\); and we find a homogeneous family \(\mathcal {G}\subseteq \mathcal {F}\) for each coloring. As a consequence, we complete our study of the partition relation \({\forall l>1,\, \alpha \rightarrow ({{\mathrm{top}}}\;\omega ^2+1)^2_{l,m}}\) identifying \(\omega ^{\omega ^\omega }\) as the smallest ordinal space \(\alpha <\omega _1\) satisfying \({\forall l>1,\, \alpha \rightarrow ({{\mathrm{top}}}\;\omega ^2+1)^2_{l,4}}\).     

Gauge functions,Eikonal equations and Bôcher’s theorem on stratified Lie groups

Let \({\mathcal{L} = \sum_{i=1}^m X_i^2}\) be a real sub-Laplacian on a Carnot group \({\mathbb{G}}\) and denote by \({\nabla_\mathcal{L} = (X_1,\ldots,X_m)}\) the intrinsic gradient related to \({\mathcal{L}}\). Our aim in this present paper is to analyze some features of the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-gauge functions on \({\mathbb{G}}\), i.e., the homogeneous functions d such that \({\mathcal{L}(d^\gamma) = 0}\) in \({\mathbb{G} \setminus \{0\}}\) , for some \({\gamma \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}}\). We consider the relation of \({\mathcal{L}}\)-gauge functions with: the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-Eikonal equation \({|\nabla_\mathcal{L} u| = 1}\) in \({\mathbb{G}}\); the Mean Value Formulas for the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-harmonic functions; the fundamental solution for \({\mathcal{L}}\); the Bôcher-type theorems for nonnegative \({\mathcal{L}}\)-harmonic functions in “punctured” open sets \({\dot \Omega:= \Omega \setminus \{x_0\}}\).     

Error Bounds for Consistent Reconstruction: Random Polytopes and Coverage Processes

Consistent reconstruction is a method for producing an estimate \(\widetilde{x} \in {\mathbb {R}}^d\) of a signal \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^d\) if one is given a collection of \(N\) noisy linear measurements \(q_n = \langle x, \varphi _n \rangle + \epsilon _n\), \(1 \le n \le N\), that have been corrupted by i.i.d. uniform noise \(\{\epsilon _n\}_{n=1}^N\). We prove mean-squared error bounds for consistent reconstruction when the measurement vectors \(\{\varphi _n\}_{n=1}^N\subset {\mathbb {R}}^d\) are drawn independently at random from a suitable distribution on the unit-sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^{d-1}\). Our main results prove that the mean-squared error (MSE) for consistent reconstruction is of the optimal order \({\mathbb {E}}\Vert x - \widetilde{x}\Vert ^2 \le K\delta ^2/N^2\) under general conditions on the measurement vectors. We also prove refined MSE bounds when the measurement vectors are i.i.d. uniformly distributed on the unit-sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^{d-1}\) and, in particular, show that in this case, the constant \(K\) is dominated by \(d^3\), the cube of the ambient dimension. The proofs involve an analysis of random polytopes using coverage processes on the sphere.     

Representation of real Riesz maps on a strong <Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>-ring by prime elements of a frame

In classical topology, it is proved that for a topological space X, every bounded Riesz map \(\varphi :C (X) \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) is of the from \({\hat{x}}\) for a point \(x\in X\). In this paper, our main purpose is to prove a version of this result by lattice-valued maps. A ring representation of the from \(A\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}\) is constructed. This representation is denoted by \(\widetilde{p_c}\) that is an onto f-ring homomorphism for every \(p\in \Sigma L\), where its index c, denotes a cozero lattice-valued map. Also, it is shown that for every Riesz map \(\phi :A\rightarrow {\mathbb {R}} \) and \(c\in F(A, L)\) with specific properties, there exists \(p\in \Sigma L\) such that \(\phi =\phi (1)\widetilde{p_c}\).     

On homogeneous hypersurfaces in $${\mathbb {C}}^3$$

We consider a family \(M_t^n\), with \(n\geqslant 2\), \(t>1\), of real hypersurfaces in a complex affine n-dimensional quadric arising in connection with the classification of homogeneous compact simply connected real-analytic hypersurfaces in  \({\mathbb {C}}^n\) due to Morimoto and Nagano. To finalize their classification, one needs to resolve the problem of the embeddability of \(M_t^n\) in  \({\mathbb {C}}^n\) for \(n=3,7\). In our earlier article we showed that \(M_t^7\) is not embeddable in  \({\mathbb {C}}^7\) for every t and that \(M_t^3\) is embeddable in  \({\mathbb {C}}^3\) for all \(1<t<1+10^{-6}\). In the present paper, we improve on the latter result by showing that the embeddability of \(M_t^3\) in fact takes place for \(1<t<\sqrt{(2+\sqrt{2})/3}\). This is achieved by analyzing the explicit totally real embedding of the sphere \(S^3\) in \({\mathbb {C}}^3\) constructed by Ahern and Rudin. For \(t\geqslant {\sqrt{(2+\sqrt{2})/3}}\), the problem of the embeddability of \(M_t^3\) remains open.     

On explicit minimum weight bases for extended cyclic codes related to Gold functions

Minimum weight bases of some extended cyclic codes can be chosen from the affine orbits of certain explicitly represented minimum weight codewords. We find such bases for the following three classes of codes: the extended primitive 2-error correcting BCH code of length \(n=2^m,\) where \(m\ge 4\) (for \(m\ge 20\) the result was proven in Grigorescu and Kaufman IEEE Trans Inf Theory 58(I. 2):78–81, 2011), the extended cyclic code \(\bar{C}_{1,5}\) of length \(n=2^m,\) odd m,  \(m\ge 5,\) and the extended cyclic codes \(\bar{C}_{1,2^i+1}\) of lengths \(n=2^m,\) \((i,\,m)=1\) and \(3\le i\le \frac{m-5}{4}-o(m).\)     

Completely regular clique graphs,II

Let \(\varGamma = (X,R)\) be a connected graph. Then \(\varGamma \) is said to be a completely regular clique graph of parameters (s, c) with \(s\ge 1\) and \(c\ge 1\), if there is a collection \({\mathcal {C}}\) of completely regular cliques of size \(s+1\) such that every edge is contained in exactly c members of \({\mathcal {C}}\). In the previous paper (Suzuki in J Algebr Combin 40:233–244, 2014), we showed, among other things, that a completely regular clique graph is distance-regular if and only if it is a bipartite half of a certain distance-semiregular graph. In this paper, we show that a completely regular clique graph with respect to \({\mathcal {C}}\) is distance-regular if and only if every \({\mathcal {T}}(C)\)-module of endpoint zero is thin for all \(C\in {\mathcal {C}}\). We also discuss the relation between a \({\mathcal {T}}(C)\)-module of endpoint 0 and a \({\mathcal {T}}(x)\)-module of endpoint 1 and study examples of completely regular clique graphs.     

On Weighted Average Interpolation with Cardinal Splines

Given a sequence of data \(\{ y_{n} \} _{n \in \mathbb{Z}}\) with polynomial growth and an odd number \(d\), Schoenberg proved that there exists a unique cardinal spline \(f\) of degree \(d\) with polynomial growth such that \(f ( n ) =y_{n}\) for all \(n\in \mathbb{Z}\). In this work, we show that this result also holds if we consider weighted average data \(f\ast h ( n ) =y_{n}\), whenever the average function \(h\) satisfies some light conditions. In particular, the interpolation result is valid if we consider cell-average data \(\int_{n-a}^{n+a}f ( x ) dx=y_{n}\) with \(0< a\leq 1/2\). The case of even degree \(d\) is also studied.     

Rank two aCM bundles on general determinantal quartic surfaces in $${\mathbb {P}^{3}}$$

Let \(F\subseteq {\mathbb {P}^{3}}\) be a smooth determinantal quartic surface which is general in the Nöther–Lefschetz sense. In the present paper we give a complete classification of locally free sheaves \({\mathcal E}\) of rank 2 on F such that \(h^1(F,{\mathcal E}(th))=0\) for \(t\in \mathbb {Z}\).     

Corona problem with data in ideal spaces of sequences

Let E be a Banach lattice on \({\mathbb {Z}}\) with order continuous norm. We show that for any function \(f = \{f_j\}_{j \in {\mathbb {Z}}}\) from the Hardy space \(\mathrm H_{\infty }\left( E \right) \) such that \(\delta \leqslant \Vert f (z)\Vert _E \leqslant 1\) for all z from the unit disk \({\mathbb {D}}\) there exists some solution \(g = \{g_j\}_{j \in {\mathbb {Z}}} \in \mathrm H_{\infty }\left( E' \right) \), \(\Vert g\Vert _{\mathrm H_{\infty }\left( E' \right) } \leqslant C_\delta \) of the Bézout equation \(\sum _j f_j g_j = 1\), also known as the vector-valued corona problem with data in \(\mathrm H_{\infty }\left( E \right) \).     

Tempered representations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic groups: special idempotents and topology

Let \(G=G(k)\) be a connected reductive group over a p-adic field k. The smooth (and tempered) complex representations of G can be considered as the nondegenerate modules over the Hecke algebra \({\mathcal {H}}={\mathcal {H}}(G)\) and the Schwartz algebra \({\mathcal {S}}={\mathcal {S}}(G)\) forming abelian categories \({\mathcal {M}}(G)\) and \({\mathcal {M}}^t(G)\), respectively. Idempotents \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) or \({\mathcal {S}}\) define full subcategories \({\mathcal {M}}_e(G)= \{V : {\mathcal {H}}eV=V\}\) and \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G)= \{V : {\mathcal {S}}eV=V\}\). Such an e is said to be special (in \({\mathcal {H}}\) or \({\mathcal {S}}\)) if the corresponding subcategory is abelian. Parallel to Bernstein’s result for \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) we will prove that, for special \(e \in {\mathcal {S}}\), \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G) = \prod _{\Theta \in \theta _e} {\mathcal {M}}^t(\Theta )\) is a finite direct product of component categories \({\mathcal {M}}^t(\Theta )\), now referring to connected components of the center of \({\mathcal {S}}\). A special \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) will be also special in \({\mathcal {S}}\), but idempotents \(e\in {\mathcal {H}}\) not being special can become special in \({\mathcal {S}}\). To obtain conditions we consider the sets \(\mathrm{Irr}^t(G) \subset \mathrm{Irr}(G)\) of (tempered) smooth irreducible representations of G, and we view \(\mathrm{Irr}(G)\) as a topological space for the Jacobson topology defined by the algebra \({\mathcal {H}}\). We use this topology to introduce a preorder on the connected components of \(\mathrm{Irr}^t(G)\). Then we prove that, for an idempotent \(e \in {\mathcal {H}}\) which becomes special in \({\mathcal {S}}\), its support \(\theta _e\) must be saturated with respect to that preorder. We further analyze the above decomposition of \({\mathcal {M}}_e^t(G)\) in the case where G is k-split with connected center and where \(e = e_J \in {\mathcal {H}}\) is the Iwahori idempotent. Here we can use work of Kazhdan and Lusztig to relate our preorder on the support \(\theta _{e_J}\) to the reverse of the natural partial order on the unipotent classes in G. We finish by explicitly computing the case \(G=GL_n\), where \(\theta _{e_J}\) identifies with the set of partitions of n. Surprisingly our preorder (which is a partial order now) is strictly coarser than the reverse of the dominance order on partitions.     

On decomposability of Multilinear sets

We consider the Multilinear set \({\mathcal {S}}\) defined as the set of binary points (x, y) satisfying a collection of multilinear equations of the form \(y_I = \prod _{i \in I} x_i\), \(I \in {\mathcal {I}}\), where \({\mathcal {I}}\) denotes a family of subsets of \(\{1,\ldots , n\}\) of cardinality at least two. Such sets appear in factorable reformulations of many types of nonconvex optimization problems, including binary polynomial optimization. A great simplification in studying the facial structure of the convex hull of the Multilinear set is possible when \({\mathcal {S}}\) is decomposable into simpler Multilinear sets \({\mathcal {S}}_j\), \(j \in J\); namely, the convex hull of \({\mathcal {S}}\) can be obtained by convexifying each \({\mathcal {S}}_j\), separately. In this paper, we study the decomposability properties of Multilinear sets. Utilizing an equivalent hypergraph representation for Multilinear sets, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions under which \({\mathcal {S}}\) is decomposable into \({\mathcal {S}}_j\), \(j \in J\), based on the structure of pair-wise intersection hypergraphs. Our characterizations unify and extend the existing decomposability results for the Boolean quadric polytope. Finally, we propose a polynomial-time algorithm to optimally decompose a Multilinear set into simpler subsets. Our proposed algorithm can be easily incorporated in branch-and-cut based global solvers as a preprocessing step for cut generation.     

Infra-nilmanifolds modeled on the group of uni-triangular matrices

Let \({\mathcal {N}}_m\) be the group of \(m\times m\) upper triangular real matrices with all the diagonal entries 1. Then it is an \((m-1)\)-step nilpotent Lie group, diffeomorphic to \({\mathbb {R}}^{\frac{1}{2} m(m-1)}\). It contains all the integer matrices as a lattice \(\Gamma _m\). The automorphism group of \({\mathcal {N}}_m \ (m\ge 4)\) turns out to be extremely small. In fact, \(\mathrm {Aut}({\mathcal {N}})=\mathcal {I} \rtimes \mathrm {Out}({\mathcal {N}})\), where \(\mathcal {I}\) is a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, and \(\mathrm {Out}({\mathcal {N}})={{\tilde{K}}}={(\mathbb {R}^*)^{m-1}\rtimes \mathbb {Z}_2}\). With a nice left-invariant Riemannian metric on \({\mathcal {N}}\), the isometry group is \(\mathrm {Isom}({\mathcal {N}})= {\mathcal {N}} \rtimes K\), where \(K={(\mathbb {Z}_2)^{m-1}\rtimes \mathbb {Z}_2}\subset {{\tilde{K}}}\) is a maximal compact subgroup of \(\mathrm {Aut}({\mathcal {N}})\). We prove that, for odd \(m\ge 4\), there is no infra-nilmanifold which is essentially covered by the nilmanifold \(\Gamma _m\backslash {\mathcal {N}}_m\). For \(m=2n\ge 4\) (even), there is a unique infra-nilmanifold which is essentially (and doubly) covered by the nilmanifold \(\Gamma _m\backslash {\mathcal {N}}_m\).
