On a class of solutions of KdV

Practically every book on the Inverse Scattering Transform method for solving the Cauchy problem for KdV and other integrable systems refers to this method as nonlinear Fourier transform. If this is indeed so, the method should lead to a nonlinear analogue of the Fourier expansion formula . In this paper a special class of solutions of KdV whose role is similar to that of e^i(kx-ω(k)t) is discussed. The theory of these solutions, referred to here as harmonic breathers, is developed and it is shown that these solutions may be used to construct more general solutions of KdV similarly to how the functions e^i(kx-ω(t)) are used to perform the same task in the theory of Fourier transform. A nonlinear superposition formula for general solutions of KdV similar to the Fourier expansion formula is conjectured.     

Trace formulas for Hecke operators, Gaussian hypergeometric functions, and the modularity of a threefold

We present simple trace formulas for Hecke operators Tk(p) for all p>3 on Sk(Γ₀(3)) and Sk(Γ₀(9)), the spaces of cusp forms of weight k and levels 3 and 9. These formulas can be expressed in terms of special values of Gaussian hypergeometric series and lend themselves to recursive expressions in terms of traces of Hecke operators on spaces of lower weight. Along the way, we show how to express the traces of Frobenius of a family of elliptic curves equipped with a 3-torsion point as special values of a Gaussian hypergeometric series over Fq, when . As an application, we use these formulas to provide a simple expression for the Fourier coefficients of η⁸(3z), the unique normalized cusp form of weight 4 and level 9, and then show that the number of points on a certain threefold is expressible in terms of these coefficients.     

A New Class of Infinite Products Generalizing Viète's Product Formula for π

We show how functions F(z) which satisfy an identity of the form F(α z) = g(F(z)) for some complex number α and some function g(z) give rise to infinite product formulas that generalize Viète's product formula for π. Specifically, using elliptic and trigonometric functions we derive closed form expressions for some of these infinite products. By evaluating the expressions at certain points we obtain formulas expressing infinite products involving nested radicals in terms of well-known constants. In particular, simple infinite products for π and the lemniscate constant are obtained. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary—40A20; Secondary—33E05     

A geometric approach to Euler’s addition formula A direct formulation of the addition law for elliptic curves given in?terms of Weierstra? quartics

Plane quartic curves given by equations of the form y ²=P(x) with polynomials P of degree 4 represent singular models of elliptic curves which are directly related to elliptic integrals in the form studied by Euler and for which he developed his famous addition formulas. For cubic curves, the well-known secant and tangent construction establishes an immediate connection of addition formulas for the corresponding elliptic integrals with the structure of an algebraic group. The situation for quartic curves is considerably more complicated due to the presence of the singularity. We present a geometric construction, similar in spirit to the secant method for cubic curves, which defines an addition law on a quartic elliptic curve given by rational functions. Furthermore, we show how this addition on the curve itself corresponds to the addition in the (generalized) Jacobian variety of the curve, and we show how any addition formula for elliptic integrals of the form ò(1/?{P(x)}) dx\int (1/\sqrt{P(x)})\,\mathrm{d}x with a quartic polynomial P can be derived directly from this addition law.     

Extremal elliptic surfaces in characteristic 2 and 3

We show that extremal elliptic surfaces in characteristic 2 and 3 are unirational surfaces. Our strategy of proof is to determine explicit equations for the generic fibers. The method also applies to the classification of elliptic curves over k(T) with given places of bad reduction where k is any perfect field of characteristic 2 or 3.

On stability of Hamilton‐connectedness under the 2‐closure in claw‐free graphs

It is easy to characterize chordal graphs by every k‐cycle having at least f(k) = k ? 3 chords. I prove new, analogous characterizations of the house‐hole‐domino‐free graphs using f(k) = 2?(k ? 3)/2?, and of the graphs whose blocks are trivially perfect using f(k) = 2k ? 7. These three functions f(k) are optimum in that each class contains graphs in which every k‐cycle has exactly f(k) chords. The functions 3?(k ? 3)/3? and 3k ? 11 also characterize related graph classes, but without being optimum. I consider several other graph classes and their optimum functions, and what happens when k‐cycles are replaced with k‐paths. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 68:137‐147, 2011     

Zagier's conjecture on L(E,2)

In this paper we introduce an elliptic analog of the Bloch-Suslin complex and prove that it (essentially) computes the weight two parts of the groups K ₂(E) and K ₁(E) for an elliptic curve E over an arbitrary field k. Combining this with the results of Bloch and Beilinson we proved Zagier's conjecture on L(E,2) for modular elliptic curves over ℚ. Oblatum 3-VI-1996 & 16-V-1997     

On generalized modular forms supported on cuspidal and elliptic points

Suppose N∈{13,17,19,21,26,29,31,34,39,41,49,50}. In this paper, we extend previous results of Kohnen–Mason (On the canonical decomposition of generalized modular functions, 2010) to prove that generalized modular forms for Γ ₀(N) with rational Fourier expansions whose divisors are supported only at the cusps and at the elliptic points are actually classical modular forms. We discuss possible limitations to this extension and pose questions about possible zeroes for modular forms of prime level.     

On tense modules for extended algebras over rational fields

Let k(x) be the field of fractions of the polynomial algebra k[x] over the field k. We prove that, for an arbitrary finite dimensional k-algebra Λ, any finitely generated Λ ⊗_k k(x)-module M such that its minimal projective presentation admits no non-trivial selfextension is of the form M ≅ N^k(x), for some finitely generated Λ-module N. Some consequences are derived for tilting modules over the rational algebra Λ ⊗_k k(x) and for some generic modules for Λ. Received: 24 November 2003; revised: 11 February 2005     

Lower semicontinuity and relaxation for integral functionals with <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis>)- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">x,u</Emphasis>)-growth

We consider the questions of lower semicontinuity and relaxation for the integral functionals satisfying the p(x)- and p(x, u)-growth conditions. Presently these functionals are actively studied in the theory of elliptic and parabolic problems and in the framework of the calculus of variations. The theory we present rests on the following results: the remarkable result of Kristensen on the characterization of homogeneous p-gradient Young measures by their summability; the earlier result of Zhang on approximating gradient Young measures with compact support; the result of Zhikov on the density in energy of regular functions for integrands with p(x)-growth; on the author’s approach to Young measures as measurable functions with values in a metric space whose metric has integral representation.     

Symmetry in c, d, n of Jacobian elliptic functions

The relation connecting the symmetric elliptic integral RF with the Jacobian elliptic functions is symmetric in the first three of the four letters c, d, n, and s that are used in ordered pairs to name the 12 functions. A symbol Δ(p,q)=ps²(u,k)−qs²(u,k), p,q∈{c,d,n}, is independent of u and allows formulas for differentiation, bisection, duplication, and addition to remain valid when c, d, and n are permuted. The five transformations of first order, which change the argument and modulus of the functions, take a unified form in which they correspond to the five nontrivial permutations of c, d, and n. There are 18 transformations of second order (including Landen's and Gauss's transformations) comprising three sets of six. The sets are related by permutations of the original functions cs, ds, and ns, and there are only three sets because each set is symmetric in two of these. The six second-order transformations in each set are related by first-order transformations of the transformed functions, and all 18 take a unified form. All results are derived from properties of RF without invoking Weierstrass functions or theta functions.     

The Cauchy Problem for Second-Order Elliptic Systems on the Plane

Regular solutions to second-order elliptic systems on the plane are representable in terms of A-analytic functions satisfying an operator equation of the Beltrami type. We prove Carleman-type formulas for reconstruction of solutions from data on a part of the boundary of the domain. We use these formulas for solving the Cauchy problems for the system of Lame equations, the Navier–Stokes system, and the system of equations of elasticity with resilience.     

Algebraic Morava K-theories

For any prime q and positive integer t, we construct a spectrum k(t) in the stable homotopy category of schemes over a field k equipped with an embedding k↪ℂ. In classical homotopy theory, the ℂ realization of k(t) is known as Morava K-theory. The algebraic content lies in the fact that these spectra are defined as the homotopy limit of a tower whose cofibers are appropriate suspensions of the motivic Eilenberg-MacLane spectra, which are known to represent motivic cohomology in the stable homotopy category of schemes.

On Some Integrals Involving the Hurwitz Zeta Function: Part 2

We establish a series of indefinite integral formulae involving the Hurwitz zeta function and other elementary and special functions related to it, such as the Bernoulli polynomials, ln sin(q), ln (q) and the polygamma functions. Many of the results are most conveniently formulated in terms of a family of functions A _k(q) := k(1 – k, q), k , and a family of polygamma functions of negative order, whose properties we study in some detail.     

Global C2‐Estimates for Convex Solutions of Curvature Equations

We establish a C² a priori estimate for convex hypersurfaces whose principal curvatures κ=(κ₁,…, κ_n) satisfy σ_k(κ(X))=f(X,ν(X)), the Weingarten curvature equation. We also obtain such an estimate for admissible 2‐convex hypersurfaces in the case k=2. Our estimates resolve a longstanding problem in geometric fully nonlinear elliptic equations.© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Representations of Integers as Sums of 32 Squares

In this paper, we derive a new explicit formula for r ₃₂(n), where r _k(n) is the number of representations of n as a sum of k squares. For a fixed integer k, our method can be used to derive explicit formulas for r _8k (n). We conclude the paper with various conjectures that lead to explicit formulas for r _2k (n), for any fixed positive integer k > 4.     

Large-Scale Analyticity and Unique Continuation for Periodic Elliptic Equations

We prove that a solution of an elliptic operator with periodic coefficients behaves on large scales like an analytic function in the sense of approximation by polynomials with periodic corrections. Equivalently, the constants in the large-scale C^{k, 1} estimate scale exponentially in k , just as for the classical estimate for harmonic functions, and the minimal scale grows at most linearly in k . As a consequence, we characterize entire solutions of periodic, uniformly elliptic equations that exhibit growth like O(exp(δ| x| )) for small δ > 0 . The large-scale analyticity also implies quantitative unique continuation results, namely a three-ball theorem with an optimal error term as well as a proof of the nonexistence of L² eigenfunctions at the bottom of the spectrum. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.     

On sums related to the numerator of generating functions for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>th power of Fibonacci numbers on sums related to the numerator of generating functions for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>th power of Fibonacci numbers

New results about some sums s _n (k, l) of products of the Lucas numbers, which are of similar type as the sums in [SEIBERT, J.—TROJOVSK Y, P.: On multiple sums of products of Lucas numbers, J. Integer Seq. 10 (2007), Article 07.4.5], and sums σ(k) = $ \sum\limits_{l = 0}^{\tfrac{{k - 1}} {2}} {(_l^k )F_k - 2l^S n(k,l)} $ \sum\limits_{l = 0}^{\tfrac{{k - 1}} {2}} {(_l^k )F_k - 2l^S n(k,l)} are derived. These sums are related to the numerator of generating function for the kth powers of the Fibonacci numbers. s _n (k, l) and σ(k) are expressed as the sum of the binomial and the Fibonomial coefficients. Proofs of these formulas are based on a special inverse formulas.     

On Exponential Sums Involving the Ideal Counting Function in Quadratic Number Fields

 Let χ be a Dirichlet character modulo k > 1, and F _χ(n) the arithmetical function which is generated by the product of the Riemann zeta-function and the Dirichlet L-function corresponding to χ in . In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of the exponential sums involving the arithmetical function F _χ(n). In particular, we study summation formulas for these exponential sums and mean square formulas for the error term. Received April 17, 2001; in revised form April 2, 2002
