Polynomials with roots in for all

Let be a monic polynomial in with no rational roots but with roots in for all , or equivalently, with roots mod for all . It is known that cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more irreducible polynomials, and that if is a product of irreducible polynomials, then its Galois group must be a union of conjugates of proper subgroups. We prove that for any , every finite solvable group that is a union of conjugates of proper subgroups (where all these conjugates have trivial intersection) occurs as the Galois group of such a polynomial, and that the same result (with ) holds for all Frobenius groups. It is also observed that every nonsolvable Frobenius group is realizable as the Galois group of a geometric, i.e. regular, extension of .

     

A tensor norm preserving unconditionality for -spaces

We show that, for each , there is an -tensor norm (in the sense of Grothendieck) with the surprising property that the -tensor product has local unconditional structure for each choice of arbitrary -spaces . In fact, is the tensor norm associated to the ideal of multiple -summing -linear forms on Banach spaces.

     

Admissible metrics in the -Yamabe equation

In most previous works on the existence of solutions to the -Yamabe problem, one assumes that the initial metric is -admissible. This is a pointwise condition. In this paper we prove that this condition can be replaced by a weaker integral condition.

The -stability of hypersurfaces with zero Gauss-Kronecker curvature

In this paper we give sufficient conditions for a bounded domain in an -minimal hypersurface of the Euclidean space to be -stable. The Gauss-Kronecker curvature of this hypersurface may be zero on a set of capacity zero.

     

Uniqueness of structures for connective covers

We refine our earlier work on the existence and uniqueness of structures on -theoretic spectra to show that the connective versions of real and complex -theory as well as the connective Adams summand at each prime have unique structures as commutative -algebras. For the -completion we show that the McClure-Staffeldt model for is equivalent as an ring spectrum to the connective cover of the periodic Adams summand . We establish a Bousfield equivalence between the connective cover of the Lubin-Tate spectrum and .

     

Hyperbolic sets exhibiting -persistent homoclinic tangency for higher dimensions

For any manifold of dimension at least three, we give a simple construction of a hyperbolic invariant set that exhibits -persistent homoclinic tangency. It provides an open subset of the space of -diffeomorphisms in which generic diffeomorphisms have arbitrary given growth of the number of attracting periodic orbits and admit no symbolic extensions.

     

A Solomon descent theory for the wreath products

We propose an analogue of Solomon's descent theory for the case of a wreath product , where is a finite abelian group. Our construction mixes a number of ingredients: Mantaci-Reutenauer algebras, Specht's theory for the representations of wreath products, Okada's extension to wreath products of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence, and Poirier's quasisymmetric functions. We insist on the functorial aspect of our definitions and explain the relation of our results with previous work concerning the hyperoctaedral group.

     

Counting cusps of subgroups of

Let be a number field with real places and complex places, and let be the ring of integers of . The quotient has cusps, where is the class number of . We show that under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis that if is not or an imaginary quadratic field and if , then has infinitely many maximal subgroups with cusps. A key element in the proof is a connection to Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture.

     

Nonpositive sectional curvature for -complexes

We give a criterion for the nonpositive sectional curvature of -complexes. As a consequence, we show that certain -complexes have locally indicable, coherent and even locally quasiconvex fundamental groups.

     

The -exponent of the -local spectrum

Let be a fixed odd prime. In this paper we prove an exponent conjecture of Bousfield, namely that the -exponent of the spectrum is for . It follows from this result that the -exponent of is at least for and , where denotes the -connected cover of .

     

-actions with

Suppose that is a smooth -action on a closed smooth -dimensional manifold such that all Stiefel-Whitney classes of the tangent bundle to each connected component of the fixed point set vanish in positive dimension. This paper shows that if 2^k\dim F$"> and each -dimensional part possesses the linear independence property, then bounds equivariantly, and in particular, is the best possible upper bound of if is nonbounding.

     

Further reductions of Poincaré-Dulac normal forms in

In this paper, we will consider (germs of) holomorphic mappings of the form , defined in a neighborhood of the origin in . Most of our interest is in those mappings where is a germ tangent to the identity and for , and possess no resonances, for these are the so-called Poincaré-Dulac normal forms of the mappings . We construct formal normal forms for these mappings and discuss a condition which tests for the convergence or divergence of the conjugating maps, giving specific examples.

     

The -local -homology of

In this paper, we introduce a Hopf algebra, developed by the author and André Henriques, which is usable in the computation of the -homology of a space. As an application, we compute the -homology of in a manner analogous to Mahowald and Milgram's computation of the -homology .

     

A remark on irregularity of the -Neumann problem on non-smooth domains

It is an observation due to J. J. Kohn that for a smooth bounded pseudoconvex domain in there exists such that the -Neumann operator on maps (the space of -forms with coefficient functions in -Sobolev space of order ) into itself continuously. We show that this conclusion does not hold without the smoothness assumption by constructing a bounded pseudoconvex domain in , smooth except at one point, whose -Neumann operator is not bounded on for any .

On exceptional eigenvalues of the Laplacian for

An explicit Dirichlet series is obtained, which represents an analytic function of in the half-plane except for having simple poles at points that correspond to exceptional eigenvalues of the non-Euclidean Laplacian for Hecke congruence subgroups by the relation for . Coefficients of the Dirichlet series involve all class numbers of real quadratic number fields. But, only the terms with for sufficiently large discriminants contribute to the residues of the Dirichlet series at the poles , where is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue for . This may indicate (I'm not able to prove yet) that the multiplicity of exceptional eigenvalues can be arbitrarily large. On the other hand, by density theorem the multiplicity of exceptional eigenvalues is bounded above by a constant depending only on .

     

Small unitary representations of the double cover of

The irreducible unitary representations of the double cover of the real group , with infinitesimal character , which are small in the sense that their annihilator in the universal enveloping algebra is maximal, are expressed as Langlands quotients of generalized principal series. In the case where is even we show that there are four such representations and in the case where is odd there is just one. The representations' smallness allows them to be written as a sum of virtual representations, leading to a character formula for their -types. We investigate the place of these small representations in the orbit method and, in the case of , show that the representation is attached to a nilpotent coadjoint orbit.The -type spectrum for the Langlands quotients is explicitly determined and shown to be multiplicity free.
