Godeaux,Campedelli, and surfaces of general type with and

We construct simply connected surfaces of general type with invariants and . We use ‐Gorenstein deformations in conjunction with explicit constructions that express the canonical rings by generators and relations. The canonical rings of the surfaces are described as projections. The whole construction is simplified by the use of key varieties based on Steiner 3‐folds. As a consequence of the construction we find two families, each family in a different connected component of the moduli stack , and each linking a Campedelli surface with a Godeaux surface.     

On semi‐isogenous mixed surfaces

Let C be a smooth projective curve and G be a finite subgroup of whose action is mixed, i.e. there are elements in G exchanging the two isotrivial fibrations of . Let be the index two subgroup . If G⁰ acts freely, then is smooth and we call it semi‐isogenous mixed surface. In this paper we give an algorithm to determine semi‐isogenous mixed surfaces with given geometric genus, irregularity and self‐intersection of the canonical class. As an application we classify irregular semi‐isogenous mixed surfaces with and geometric genus equal to the irregularity; the regular case is subjected to some computational restrictions. In this way we construct new examples of surfaces of general type with . We provide an example of a minimal surface of general type with and .     

Hardy spaces for Bessel–Schrödinger operators

Consider the Bessel operator with a potential on , namely We assume that and is a nonnegative function. By definition, a function belongs to the Hardy space if Under certain assumptions on V we characterize the space in terms of atomic decompositions of local type. In the second part we prove that this characterization can be applied to for with no additional assumptions on the potential V.

Eigenvalues of Robin Laplacians in infinite sectors

For , let denote the infinite planar sector of opening 2α, and be the Laplacian in , , with the Robin boundary condition , where stands for the outer normal derivative and . The essential spectrum of does not depend on the angle α and equals , and the discrete spectrum is non‐empty if and only if . In this case we show that the discrete spectrum is always finite and that each individual eigenvalue is a continous strictly increasing function of the angle α. In particular, there is just one discrete eigenvalue for . As α approaches 0, the number of discrete eigenvalues becomes arbitrary large and is minorated by with a suitable , and the nth eigenvalue of behaves as and admits a full asymptotic expansion in powers of α². The eigenfunctions are exponentially localized near the origin. The results are also applied to δ‐interactions on star graphs.     

Symmetric and finitely symmetric polynomials on the spaces and

We consider on the space polynomials that are invariant regarding permutations of the sequence variable or regarding finite permutations. Accordingly, they are trivial or factor through c₀. The analogous study, with analogous results, is carried out on , replacing the permutations of by measurable bijections of that preserve the Lebesgue measure.

Let be a uniformly elliptic operator in divergence form in a bounded open subset Ω of . We study the effect of the operator on the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of the nonlocal Brezis–Nirenberg problem where denotes the fractional power of with zero Dirichlet boundary values on , , and λ is a real parameter. By assuming for all and near some point , we prove existence theorems for any , where denotes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of . Our existence result holds true for and in the interior case () and for and in the boundary case (). Nonexistence for star‐shaped domains is obtained for any .

As a corollary, it is proved that spaces are independent of the scale in sense of norm. Also, we characterize the space through weighted Lebesgue spaces and variable Lebesgue spaces, respectively.

Let be a set of irreducible plane curve singularities. For an action of a finite group G , let be the Alexander polynomial in variables of the algebraic link and let with identical variables in each group. (If , is the monodromy zeta function of the function germ , where is an equation defining the curve C ₁.) We prove that determines the topological type of the link L .

Spectral gaps for the Dirichlet‐Laplacian in a 3‐D waveguide periodically perturbed by a family of concentrated masses

We consider a spectral problem for the Laplace operator in a periodic waveguide perturbed by a family of “heavy concentrated masses”; namely, Π contains small regions of high density, which are periodically distributed along the z axis. Each domain has a diameter and the density takes the value in and 1 outside; m and ε are positive parameters, , . Considering a Dirichlet boundary condition, we study the band‐gap structure of the essential spectrum of the corresponding operator as . We provide information on the width of the first bands and find asymptotic formulas for the localization of the possible gaps.     

Boundedness and compactness of Hardy operators on Lorentz‐type spaces

Given non‐negative measurable functions on we study the high dimensional Hardy operator between Orlicz–Lorentz spaces , where f is a measurable function of and is the ball of radius t in . We give sufficient conditions of boundedness of and . We investigate also boundedness and compactness of between weighted and classical Lorentz spaces. The function spaces considered here do not need to be Banach spaces. Specifying the weights and the Orlicz functions we recover the existing results as well as we obtain new results in the new and old settings.

The automorphism group of a rigid affine variety

An irreducible algebraic variety X is rigid if it admits no nontrivial action of the additive group of the ground field. We prove that the automorphism group of a rigid affine variety contains a unique maximal torus . If the grading on the algebra of regular functions defined by the action of  is pointed, the group  is a finite extension of . As an application, we describe the automorphism group of a rigid trinomial affine hypersurface and find all isomorphisms between such hypersurfaces.

Moreover, the authors also complement the above results in the endpoint cases of p via establishing some weak type estimates. These improve and develop the corresponding known results for Sobolev spaces with smoothness order .     

Strict topologies on measure spaces

Let X be a measurable space, let be a family of measurable subsets of it, and let be a subspace of complex measures on X that is also closed under restrictions of measures. In this paper we introduce the ‐convergence topology and the ‐strict topology on . Among other results, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for Hausdorff‐ness and coincide‐ness of these topologies. Applications to Lebesgue spaces, and also examples in Hausdorff topological spaces and locally compact groups are given.
