On Ozaki's condition for p-valency

Let f be an analytic function in a convex domain $D?\mathbb{C}$. A well-known theorem of Ozaki states that if f is analytic in D, and is given by $f(z)=z^p+{\sum }_{n=p+1}^{\infty }{a}_n{z}^n$ for $z\in D$, and

$\mathfrak{Re}\{{\mathrm{e}}^{\mathrm{i}\alpha }{f}^{(p)}(z)\}>0,(z\in D),$

for some real α, then f is at most p-valent in D. Ozaki's condition is a generalization of the well-known Noshiro–Warschawski univalence condition. The purpose of this paper is to provide some related sufficient conditions for functions analytic in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ to be p-valent in $\mathbb{D}$, and to give an improvement to Ozaki's sufficient condition for p-valence when $z\in \mathbb{D}$.     

Higher genus Kashiwara–Vergne problems and the Goldman–Turaev Lie bialgebra

We define a family ${\mathrm{KV}}^{(g,n+1)}$ of Kashiwara–Vergne problems associated with compact connected oriented 2-manifolds of genus g with $n+1$ boundary components. The problem ${\mathrm{KV}}^{(0,3)}$ is the classical Kashiwara–Vergne problem from Lie theory. We show the existence of solutions to ${\mathrm{KV}}^{(g,n+1)}$ for arbitrary g and n. The key point is the solution to ${\mathrm{KV}}^{(1,1)}$ based on the results by B. Enriquez on elliptic associators. Our construction is motivated by applications to the formality problem for the Goldman–Turaev Lie bialgebra ${\mathfrak{g}}^{(g,n+1)}$. In more detail, we show that every solution to ${\mathrm{KV}}^{(g,n+1)}$ induces a Lie bialgebra isomorphism between ${\mathfrak{g}}^{(g,n+1)}$ and its associated graded $\mathrm{gr}{\mathfrak{g}}^{(g,n+1)}$. For $g=0$, a similar result was obtained by G. Massuyeau using the Kontsevich integral. For $g\ge 1$, $n=0$, our results imply that the obstruction to surjectivity of the Johnson homomorphism provided by the Turaev cobracket is equivalent to the Enomoto–Satoh obstruction.     

Transcendence degree one function fields over a finite field with many automorphisms

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ of odd characteristic p. For a positive integer m prime to p, let $F=\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ be the transcendence degree 1 function field defined by $y^q+y=x^m+x^{?m}$. Let $t=x^{m(q?1)}$ and $H=\mathbb{K}(t)$. The extension $F|H$ is a non-Galois extension. Let K be the Galois closure of F with respect to H. By Stichtenoth [20], K has genus $\mathfrak{g}(K)=(qm?1)(q?1)$, p-rank (Hasse–Witt invariant) $\gamma (K)={(q?1)}^2$ and a $\mathbb{K}$-automorphism group of order at least $2q^{2}m(q?1)$. In this paper we prove that this subgroup is the full $\mathbb{K}$-automorphism group of K; more precisely ${\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)=\mathrm{\Delta }?D$ where Δ is an elementary abelian p-group of order $q^2$ and D has an index 2 cyclic subgroup of order $m(q?1)$. In particular, $\sqrt{m}|{\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)|>\mathfrak{g}{(K)}^{3/2}$, and if K is ordinary (i.e. $\mathfrak{g}(K)=\gamma (K)$) then $|{\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)|>{\mathfrak{g}}^{3/2}$. On the other hand, if G is a solvable subgroup of the $\mathbb{K}$-automorphism group of an ordinary, transcendence degree 1 function field L of genus $\mathfrak{g}(L)\ge 2$ defined over $\mathbb{K}$, then $|{\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)|\le 34{(\mathfrak{g}(L)+1)}^{3/2}<68\sqrt{2}\mathfrak{g}{(L)}^{3/2}$; see [15]. This shows that K hits this bound up to the constant $68\sqrt{2}$.Since ${\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)$ has several subgroups, the fixed subfield $F^N$ of such a subgroup N may happen to have many automorphisms provided that the normalizer of N in ${\text{Aut}}_{\mathbb{K}}(K)$ is large enough. This possibility is worked out for subgroups of Δ.     

Neeman's characterization of K(R-Proj) via Bousfield localization

Let R be an associative ring with unit and denote by $K(\mathrm{R}\text{-}\mathrm{Proj})$ the homotopy category of complexes of projective left R-modules. Neeman proved the theorem that $K(\mathrm{R}\text{-}\mathrm{Proj})$ is ${\mathrm{?}}_1$-compactly generated, with the category $K^{+}(\mathrm{R}\text{-}\mathrm{proj})$ of left bounded complexes of finitely generated projective R-modules providing an essentially small class of such generators. Another proof of Neeman's theorem is explained, using recent ideas of Christensen and Holm, and Emmanouil. The strategy of the proof is to show that every complex in $K(\mathrm{R}\text{-}\mathrm{Proj})$ vanishes in the Bousfield localization $K(\mathrm{R}\text{-}\mathrm{Flat})/〈K^{+}(\mathrm{R}\text{-}\mathrm{proj})〉$.     

Primality test for numbers of the form Apn+wn

We propose an algorithm for determining the primality of numbers $M=A{p}^n+w_n$ where $w_n^{p-1}\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}{p}^n)$ and $A<p^n$ and give example when $p=7$. The pth reciprocity law is involved. If p is viewed as a constant, the algorithm runs in $\mathbf{O}({(\log M)}^2{(\log \log M)}^3)$ bit operations. Our results and those of P. Berrizbeitia et al. [7], [6] resolve an open problem proposed by F. Lemmermeyer in 2000 [15].     

Bivariate identities related to Chebyshev and Dickson polynomials over Fq

Let ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ be a field of q elements, where q is a power of an odd prime p. The polynomial $f(y)\in {\mathbb{F}}_q[y]$ defined by$f(y):={(1+\sqrt{y})}^{(q+1)/2}+{(1-\sqrt{y})}^{(q+1)/2}$ has the property that$f(1-y)=\rho (2)f(y),$ where ρ is the quadratic character on ${\mathbb{F}}_q$. This univariate identity was applied to prove a recent theorem of N. Katz. We formulate and prove a bivariate extension, and give an application to quadratic residuacity.
