A counterexample to the local–global principle of linear dependence for Abelian varieties

Let A be an Abelian variety defined over a number field k. Let P be a point in $A(k)$ and let X be a subgroup of $A(k)$. Gajda and Kowalski asked in 2002 whether it is true that the point P belongs to X if and only if the point $(P\mathrm{mod}\mathfrak{p})$ belongs to $(X\mathrm{mod}\mathfrak{p})$ for all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of k. We provide a counterexample.     

A generalization of Mühlbach's extension principle for determinantal identities

Mühlbach's extension principle for determinantal identities generalizes Muir's law of extensible minors. Some particular issues with Mühlbach–Beckermann's identity [A general determinantal identity of Sylvester type and some applications, Linear Algebra Appl. 197, 198 (1994), pp. 93–112] led to the conjecture of a more general extension method than Mühlbach's. However, no confirmation seems to have been reported so far. In this note, we present a generalization of Mühlbach's extension principle which confirms that conjecture. The whole identity of Mühlbach–Beckermann is put in a simpler form from which a new interpretation as an extension of Leibniz's definition of a determinant.     

On algebraic points in the plane near smooth curves∗

In the paper, we solve the problem on the number of points with algebraic real coordinates near smooth curve. This question is a natural extension of the problems of number theory connected with integer points in the domains and the rational numbers near curves. The main idea of the proof is based on the metric theory on Diophantine approximations.     

High-order accurate methods for Nyström discretization of integral equations on smooth curves in the plane

Boundary integral equations and Nyström discretization provide a powerful tool for the solution of Laplace and Helmholtz boundary value problems. However, often a weakly-singular kernel arises, in which case specialized quadratures that modify the matrix entries near the diagonal are needed to reach a high accuracy. We describe the construction of four different quadratures which handle logarithmically-singular kernels. Only smooth boundaries are considered, but some of the techniques extend straightforwardly to the case of corners. Three are modifications of the global periodic trapezoid rule, due to Kapur–Rokhlin, to Alpert, and to Kress. The fourth is a modification to a quadrature based on Gauss–Legendre panels due to Kolm–Rokhlin; this formulation allows adaptivity. We compare in numerical experiments the convergence of the four schemes in various settings, including low- and high-frequency planar Helmholtz problems, and 3D axisymmetric Laplace problems. We also find striking differences in performance in an iterative setting. We summarize the relative advantages of the schemes.     

A local global principle for regular operators in Hilbert C⁎-modules

Hilbert $C^{?}$-modules are the analogues of Hilbert spaces where a $C^{?}$-algebra plays the role of the scalar field. With the advent of Kasparov?s celebrated KK-theory they became a standard tool in the theory of operator algebras. While the elementary properties of Hilbert $C^{?}$-modules can be derived basically in parallel to Hilbert space theory the lack of an analogue of the Projection Theorem soon leads to serious obstructions and difficulties. In particular the theory of unbounded operators is notoriously more complicated due to the additional axiom of regularity which is not easy to check. In this paper we present a new criterion for regularity in terms of the Hilbert space localizations of an unbounded operator. We discuss several examples which show that the criterion can easily be checked and that it leads to nontrivial regularity results.     

The Hilbert function of generic plane sections of curves of ℙ3

Summary A characteristic condition is given on a zero-dimensional differentiable 0-sequenceH={h _i}_i0,h ₁3, in order to be the Hilbert function of a generic plane section of a reduced irreducible curve of ³, hence of points of ² with the uniform position property. In this way an answer is given to some question stated by Harris in [Ha₂].The result is obtained by constructing a smooth irreducible arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curve in ³ whose generic plane section has an assigned Hilbert function satisfying that condition.A.M.S.

Spectrum of the Kerzman–Stein operator for a family of smooth regions in the plane

The Kerzman–Stein operator is the skew-hermitian part of the Cauchy operator defined with respect to an unweighted hermitian inner product on the boundary. For bounded regions with smooth boundary, the Kerzman–Stein operator is compact on the Hilbert space of square integrable functions. Here we give an explicit computation of its Hilbert–Schmidt norm for a family of simply connected regions. We also give an explicit computation of the Cauchy operator acting on an orthonormal basis, and we give estimates for the norms of the Kerzman–Stein and Cauchy operators on these regions. The regions are the first regions that display no apparent Möbius symmetry for which there now is explicit spectral information.     

A determinantal approach to Sheffer–Appell polynomials via monomiality principle

In this article, the Sheffer and Appell polynomials are combined to introduce the family of Sheffer–Appell polynomials by using operational methods. The determinantal definition and other properties of the Sheffer–Appell polynomials are established. As particular cases of these polynomials, the Sheffer–Bernoulli and Sheffer–Euler polynomials are introduced and their determinantal definitions are obtained. The operational correspondence between the Appell and Sheffer–Appell polynomials is used to derive the results for the Sheffer–Appell polynomials. Certain results for the Hermite–Appell and Laguerre–Appell polynomials are also obtained.     

Rough path properties for local time of symmetric α stable process

In this paper, we first prove that the local time associated with symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes is of bounded $p$-variation for any $p>\frac{2}{\alpha ?1}$ partly based on Barlow’s estimation of the modulus of the local time of such processes.  The fact that the local time is of bounded $p$-variation for any $p>\frac{2}{\alpha ?1}$ enables us to define the integral of the local time ${\int }_{?\infty }^{\infty }{?}_{?}^{\alpha ?1}f\left(x\right)d_x{L}_t^x$ as a Young integral for less smooth functions being of bounded $q$-variation with $1\le q<\frac{2}{3?\alpha }$. When $q\ge \frac{2}{3?\alpha }$, Young’s integration theory is no longer applicable. However, rough path theory is useful in this case. The main purpose of this paper is to establish a rough path theory for the integration with respect to the local times of symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes for $\frac{2}{3?\alpha }\le q<4$.     

Blaschke-Süss type theorems for closed plane curves

A C¹-class of plane closed curves is considered, which contains all ovals and rosettes. This class is divided into some subclasses for which greatest lower bounds of numbers of antipodal and arc-antipodal sets are determined.     

The Mayer-Vietoris principle for Grothendieck-Witt groups of schemes

We prove localization and Zariski-Mayer-Vietoris for higher Gro-thendieck-Witt groups, alias hermitian K-groups, of schemes admitting an ample family of line-bundles. No assumption on the characteristic is needed, and our schemes can be singular. Along the way, we prove Additivity, Fibration and Approximation theorems for the hermitian K-theory of exact categories with weak equivalences and duality.     

The dynatomic periodic curves for polynomial z→z~d+c are smooth and irreducible

We prove here the smoothness and the irreducibility of the periodic dynatomic curves(c,z)∈C2such that z is n-periodic for zd+c,where d 2.We use the method provided by Buff and Lei where they proved the conclusion for d=2.The proof for smoothness is based on elementary calculations on the pushforwards of specific quadratic differentials,following Thurston and Epstein,while the proof for irreducibility is a simplified version of Lau-Schleicher’s proof by using elementary arithmetic properties of kneading sequence instead of internal addresses.
