Distance-Regular Graph with <Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript> > 1 and <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> = 0 < <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>

Let Γ be a distance-regular graph of diameter d ≥ 3 with c ₂ > 1. Let m be an integer with 1 ≤ m ≤ d − 1. We consider the following conditions:

Topological recursion relation for <Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript> in

We give the definition of the full potential with descendants, which is a genus expansion of the Barannikov-Kontsevich solution of the WDVV equation. This potential satisfies the Getzler relation, which comes from the geometry of the moduli space of curves Open image in new window .     

Borel equivalence relations between <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

In this paper, we show that, for each p 〉 1, there are continuum many Borel equivalence relations between Rω/l1 and Rω/p ordered by ≤B which are pairwise Borel incomparable.     

Containment of c<Subscript>0</Subscript> and ℓ<Subscript>1</Subscript> in π<Subscript>1</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E,F</Emphasis>)

Suppose π₁(E, F) is the space of all absolutely 1-summing operators between two Banach spacesE andF. We show that ifF has a copy of c₀, then π₁ (E, F) will have a copy of c₀, and under some conditions ifE has a copy of ℓ₁ then π₁ (E, F) would have a complemented copy of ℓ₁.     

New multiple <Subscript>6</Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis><Subscript>6</Subscript> summation formulas and related conjectures

Three new summation formulas for ₆ ψ ₆ bilateral basic hypergeometric series attached to root systems are presented. Remarkably, two of these formulae, labelled by the A_2n−1 and A_2n root systems, can be reduced to multiple ₆ φ ₅ sums generalising the well-known van Diejen sum. This latter sum serves as the weight-function normalisation for the BC _n q-Racah polynomials of van Diejen and Stokman. Two ₈ φ ₇-level extensions of the multiple ₆ φ ₅ sums, as well as their elliptic analogues, are conjectured. This opens up the prospect of constructing novel A-type extensions of the Koornwinder–Macdonald theory.     

Weak-Polynomial Convergence on Spaces ℓ<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

This paper is concerned with the study of the set P ^-1(0), when P varies over all orthogonally additive polynomials on _p and L _p spaces. We apply our results to obtain characterizations of the weak-polynomial topologies associated to this class of polynomials.     

The James constant for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>3</Subscript> − <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> space

In this note, the exact value of the James constant for the l₃-l₁ space is obtained, J(l₃-l₁)=1.5573…. This result improves the known inequality, J(l₃-l₁)≤4/³√10, which was given by Dhompongsa, Piraisangjun and Saejung.     

Moduli spaces ℳ<Subscript>2,1</Subscript> and ℳ<Subscript>3,1</Subscript>

The cell structure of the spaces ℳ_2,1 and ℳ_3,1 is considered. These are the spaces of complex curves of genus 2 and 3 with one marked point. For the space ℳ_2,1, nine cells of the highest dimension 8 are described and their adjacency is studied. For the space ℳ_3,1, a list of all 1726 cells of the highest dimension 14 (with orientation) is obtained. The list of adjacent couples of cells is also obtained. These lists can be found on the web.     

On the Crossing Number of <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Subscript> □ <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

Crossing numbers of graphs are in general very difficult to compute. There are several known exact results on the crossing number of the Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with small graphs. In this paper we study cr(K_m □ P_n), the crossing number of the Cartesian product K_m □ P_n. We prove that for m ≥ 3,n ≥ 1 and cr(K_m □ P_n)≥ (n − 1)cr(K_m+2 − e) + 2cr(K_m+1). For m≤ 5, according to Klešč, Jendrol and Ščerbová, the equality holds. In this paper, we also prove that the equality holds for m = 6, i.e., cr(K₆ □ P_n) = 15n + 3.

In this paper, the structure of the critical group of the graph K _m × C _n is determined, where m, n ≥ 3.     

The Algorithm Z and Ramanujan’s <Subscript>1</Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> summation

We use the Algorithm Z on partitions due to Zeilberger, in a variant form, to give a combinatorial proof of Ramanujan’s ₁ ψ ₁ summation formula.     

Equitable total coloring of <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> ⋁ <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

The minimum number of total independent partition sets of V ∪ E of graph G(V,E) is called the total chromatic number of G denoted by χ _t (G). If the difference of the numbers of any two total independent partition sets of V ∪ E is no more than one, then the minimum number of total independent partition sets of V ∪ E is called the equitable total chromatic number of G, denoted by χ _et (G). In this paper, we obtain the equitable total chromatic number of the join graph of fan and wheel with the same order.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis><Subscript>0</Subscript>-Singular and <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>-singular operators between vector-valued Banach lattices

Given an operator T : X → Y between Banach spaces, and a Banach lattice E consisting of measurable functions, we consider the point-wise extension of the operator to the vector-valued Banach lattices T _E : E(X) → E(Y) given by T _E (f)(ω) = T(f(ω)). It is proved that for any Banach lattice E which does not contain c ₀, the operator T is an isomorphism on a subspace isomorphic to c ₀ if and only if so is T _E . An analogous result for invertible operators on subspaces isomorphic to ℓ ₁ is also given.     

Patchworking Singularities <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>μ</Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis><Subscript>μ</Subscript> and Meanders of Their Smoothings

Let an algebraic curve f have a singular point of type A_μ or D_μ. Let be the curve obtained by smoothing the singular point of f. In this paper, local maximal meanders appearing under an M-smoothing in a neighborhood of the singular point are studied. A local maximal meander means that the number of real points of the intersection of with a coordinate axis in the neighborhood is maximal and the points belong to one of the components of . An M-smoothing means that the number of components of which appear in the neighborhood under the smoothing is also maximal.

Wakimoto modules for twisted multi-loop algebra of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>

We construct a class of modules for the twisted multi-loop algebra of type A ₁×A ₁ by applying Wakimoto free bosonic realization. We also discuss the structures and the irreducibility of the Fock space.     

Approximation of the classes <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Stack><Subscript>β</Subscript><Superscript>ψ</Superscript></Stack><Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Subscript>ω</Subscript> by generalized Zygmund sums

We obtain asymptotic equalities for the least upper bounds of approximations by Zygmund sums in the uniform metric on the classes of continuous 2π-periodic functions whose (ψ, β)-derivatives belong to the set H _ω in the case where the sequences ψ that generate the classes tend to zero not faster than a power function.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis>-formulas implied by Dougall’s summation theorem for <Subscript>5</Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis><Subscript>4</Subscript>-series

The general summation theorem for well-poised ₅ F ₄-series discovered by Dougall (Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc. 25:114–132, 1907) is shown to imply several infinite series of Ramanujan-type for 1/π and 1/π ², including those due to Bauer (J. Reine Angew. Math. 56:101–121, 1859) and Glaisher (Q. J. Math. 37:173–198, 1905) as well as some recent ones by Levrie (Ramanujan J. 22:221–230, 2010).     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-extensions of Dougall’s bilateral <Subscript>2</Subscript>H<Subscript>2</Subscript>-series

Transformations for a bilateral ₂ ψ ₂-series are investigated by means of Abel’s lemma on summation by parts. Two q-extensions of Dougall’s classical identity for bilateral ₂H₂-sum are established. As by-products, the Rogers–Fine identity is recovered and a new proof is presented for Bailey’s identity of bilateral well-poised ₆ ψ ₆-series.
