Ramanujan complexes of type<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ã</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis></Subscript>

We define and construct Ramanujan complexes. These are simplicial complexes which are higher dimensional analogues of Ramanujan graphs (constructed in [LPS]). They are obtained as quotients of the buildings of typeà _d?1 associated with PGL _d (F) whereF is a local field of positive characteristic.     

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 .     

Congruences for Ramanujan’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">ω</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>)

Recently, Bruinier and Ono investigated the arithmetic of the coefficients of Ramanujan’s mock theta function ω(q). In Ramanujan J. (submitted) they obtained congruences with respect to the modulus 512. Here we show that ω(q) modulo 5 is dictated by an elliptic curve.     

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.

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

Bishop’s theorem and differentiability of a subspace of <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis></Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>)

Let K be a Hausdorff space and C _b (K) be the Banach algebra of all complex bounded continuous functions on K. We study the Gateaux and Fréchet differentiability of subspaces of C _b (K). Using this, we show that the set of all strong peak functions in a nontrivial separating separable subspace H of C _b (K) is a dense G _δ subset of H, if K is compact. This gives a generalized Bishop’s theorem, which says that the closure of the set of all strong peak points for H is the smallest closed norming subset of H. The classical Bishop’s theorem was proved for a separating subalgebra H and a metrizable compact space K.     

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.

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.

On the Gosper’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-constant Π<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>

Gosper introduced the functions sin_qz and cos_qz as q-analogues for the trigonometric functions sin z and cos z respectively. He stated a variety of identities involving these two q-trigonometric functions along with certain constants denoted by \({\Pi _{{q^n}}}\) (n ∈ N). Gosper noticed that all his formulas on these constants have more than two of the \({\Pi _{{q^n}}}\). So, it is natural to raise the question of establishing identities involving only two of the \({\Pi _{{q^n}}}\). In this paper, our main goal is to give examples of such formulas in only two \({\Pi _{{q^n}}}\).     

<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).     

The commutation relation <Emphasis Type="Italic">xy</Emphasis>=<Emphasis Type="Italic">qyx</Emphasis>+<Emphasis Type="Italic">hf</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis>) and Newton’s binomial formula

Let x and y be two variables satisfying the commutation relation xy=qyx+hf(y), where f(y) is a polynomial. In this paper, using Young diagrams and generating functions techniques, we study the binomial formula (x+y) ⁿ and we present an identity for x ^m y. The connection to Operator Calculus is discussed and several special cases are treated explicitly.     

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 crossing number of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> ▭ <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript> for the graph <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis> on six vertices

The crossing numbers of Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with all graphs of order at most four are known. The crossing numbers of G□C _n for some graphs G on five and six vertices and the cycle C _n are also given. In this paper, we extend these results by determining the crossing number of the Cartesian product G □ C _n , where G is a specific graph on six vertices.     

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:

<Emphasis Type="Italic">ψ</Emphasis>-continuous functions

Let be a ψ-density topology for a fixed function ψ. This paper is concerned with the family of ψ-continuous functions, that means continuous functions from (ℝ, ) into (ℝ, ). The family of such functions forms a lattice and is not closed under addition and uniform convergence. There exist functions ψ for which even linear functions are not ψ-continuous.      

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.     

On blocks with <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>)−<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis>)=1

We use the method of local representation and original method of Brauer to study the block with K(B)−L(B)=1, and get some properties on the defect group and the structure of this kind of blocks. Then, we show that K(B) conjecture holds for this kind of blocks.     

On Analytic Campanato and <Emphasis Type="Italic">F</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis>) Spaces

We investigate the relation between analytic Campanato spaces \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) and the spaces F(p, q, s), characterize the bounded and compact Riemann–Stieltjes operators from \(\mathcal {AL}_{p,s}\) to \(F(p,p-s-1,s)\). We also describe the corona theorem and the interpolating sequences for the class \(F(p,p-2,s)\), which is the Möbius invariant subspace of the analytic Besov type spaces \(B_p(s)\).

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">Saaty</Emphasis>’s and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Koczkodaj</Emphasis>’s inconsistencies of pairwise comparison matrices

The aim of the paper is to obtain some theoretical and numerical properties of Saaty’s and Koczkodaj’s inconsistencies of pairwise comparison matrices (PRM). In the case of 3 ×  3 PRM, a differentiable one-to-one correspondence is given between Saaty’s inconsistency ratio and Koczkodaj’s inconsistency index based on the elements of PRM. In order to make a comparison of Saaty’s and Koczkodaj’s inconsistencies for 4  ×  4 pairwise comparison matrices, the average value of the maximal eigenvalues of randomly generated n ×  n PRM is formulated, the elements a _ij (i < j) of which were randomly chosen from the ratio scale
