Extremal problems in classes of univalent functions,omitting prescribed values

Section 1 of the paper is devoted to extremal problems in the classes of conformal homeomorphisms of the circle and the annulus, connected directly with the problem on the maximum of the conformal modulus in the family of doubly connected domains. In Secs. 2 and 3 one considers the class R of functions f()=c₁+c₂²+... regular and univalent in the circleU={||<1} and such that f(₁)f(₂)=1 for ₁₂U (the class of Bieberbach-Eilenberg functions). Here one solves the problem of the maximum of |f(₀)| in the class of functions f()R with a fixed value f(₀, where ₀ is an arbitrary point U, and of the maximum of |f(₀)| in the entire class R. For the proof one makes use of the method of the moduli of families of curves.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Two-plane sub-bundles of nonorientable real vector-bundles

Let be a nonorientable m-plane bundle over a CW complex X of dimension m or less. Given a 2-plane bundle over X, we wish to know whether can be embedded as a sub-bundle of . The bundle need not be orientable. When is even-dimensional there is the added complication of twisted coefficients. In that case, we use Postnikov decomposition of certain nonsimple fibrations in order to describe the obstructions for the embedding problem. Emery Thomas [11] and [12] treated this problem for and both orientable. The results found here are applied to the tangent bundle of a closed, connected, nonorientable smooth manifold, as a special case.The writing of this paper was partially supported by CNPq grant     

Sur la répartition des valeurs de la fonction d'Euler

Let (x) denote the number of those integers n with (n) x, where denotes the Euler function. Improving on a well-known estimate of Bateman (1972), we show that (x)-Ax R(x), where A=(2)(3)/(6) and R(x) is essentially of the size of the best available estimate for the remainder term in the prime number theorem.     

The zeta function of the additive divisor problem and spectral decomposition of the automorphic Laplacian

A representation is obtained for the zeta function of the additive divisor problem;, by means of the spectral characteristics of the automorphic Laplacian. On the basis of this representation, the meromorphic continuability of _k(s) to the whole complex plane is proved and a power estimate of the growth of _k(s) as |s| in the critical strip 0es1 is obtained. From this, with the help of the method of complex integration, the asymptotic formula, is derived, where P_k (x) is a quadratic polynomialTranslated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On two mean value properties and functional equations associated with them

Summary Motivated by different mean value properties, the functional equationsf(x) – f(y)/x–y=[(x, y)], (i)xf(y) – yf(x)/x–y=[(x, y)] (ii) (x y) are completely solved when, are arithmetic, geometric or harmonic means andx, y elements of proper real intervals. In view of a duality between (i) and (ii), three of the results are consequences of other three.The equation (ii) is also solved when is a (strictly monotonic) quasiarithmetic mean while the real interval contains 0 and when is the arithmetic mean while the domain is a field of characteristic different from 2 and 3. (A result similar to the latter has been proved previously for (i).)

The region of values (a, 0, ) of the system M(¦f ₁'(0)¦, ¦f ₂'(0)¦, 1/¦f ₃'()¦) in the class (a, 0, ) is determined.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 417–424, October, 1969.     

Über nullstellenfreie Gebiete von ζ(itk) (s)

Let ^(itk) (s) denote thek-th derivative of the Riemann Zeta-function,s=+it, ,t real numbers,k1 rational integers. Using ideas fromT. C. Titchmarsh and from a paper ofR. Spira, lower bounds are derived for |^(itk)(s)|, |^(itk)(1-s) for >1 and some infinitely many, sufficiently large values oft. Further let be an algebraic number of degreen and heightH; then a lower bound for |^(itk)(its)|, dependent onn, H, k is established for alln,H1,k3, 2+7k/4 and all realt.

Spectral functions of zeros in the Besselq-functions

Zeta functions _v(z; q)= _n=1 [j_vn(q)]^–z and partition functions Z_v(t; q)=_n exp[–tj _vn ² (q)] related to the zeros j_vn(q) of the Bessel q-functions J_v(x; q) and J _v ⁽²⁾ (x; q) are studied and explicit formulas for _v(2n; q) at n=±1, ±2, ... are obtained. The poles of _v(z; q) in the complex plane and the corresponding residues are found. Asymptotics of the partition functions Z_v(t; q) at t 0 are investigated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 107, No. 3, pp. 397–414, June, 1996.     

On a Problem of P. Gallagher

Let p be an odd prime. For each integer a with x < a x + u and (a,p) = 1, we define by a 1 (mod p) and 1 p - 1. Let r(p,u,x) be the number of integers with x < a x + u and (a,p) = 1 for which a and are of opposite parity, and let E(n,u,x) = r(n,u,x) - 1/2 1, where denotes summation over all a such that (a,p) = 1. The main purpose of this paper is to prove that for any positive integer 1 u we have the asymptotic formula

A basis for the Stickelberger ideal and the system of circular units of a cyclotomic field

A basis for the Stickelberger ideal is constructed, along with a system of independent units that, together with-, where =exp(2i/m), m 2, m 2 (mod 4), generate the group of circular units of the field Q(). As an application, it is possible to obtain a representation for the first and second factors of a number of classes of divisors of the field Q() in the form of determinants.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Familien komplexer räume zu gegebenen infinitesimalen deformationen

Let M be a domain in the complex plane, :XM a flat family of reduced complex spaces, (X_o, _o) the fibre over a point OM, and x_o the sheaf of (1,O)-forms over X_o. The family defines an element (Ext¹ (_Xo, _o))_x for every point xX. We prove: If (X_o, _o) is a normal complex space, x a point in X_o such that (Ext² (_Xo, _o))_x=O, then for each infinitesimal deformation (Ext¹ (_Xo, _o))_x there exists a flat reduced family with =. This statement is analogous to a result of KODAIRA-NIRENBERG-SPENCER in the theory of deformations of compact complex manifolds.
