Some consequences of the Lindelöf conjecture

Suppose that the Lindelöf conjecture is valid in the following quantitative form: $$|\zeta (\frac{1}{2} + it)| \leqslant c_0 |t|^{\varepsilon (|t|)} $$ , where ε(t) is a monotone decreasing function, $\varepsilon (2t) \geqslant \tfrac{1}{2}\varepsilon (t),\varepsilon (t) \geqslant \tfrac{1}{{\sqrt {log t} }}$ . Then it is proved that for |t|≥T₀ the disk $\{ s:|s - \tfrac{1}{2} - it| \leqslant v\} $ contains at most 20v log |t| zeros of ζ(s) if $\tfrac{1}{2} \geqslant v \geqslant \sqrt {\varepsilon (t)} $ . There exists an absolute constant A such that for |t|≥T₁ the disk $\{ s:|s - \tfrac{1}{2} - it| \leqslant A\varepsilon ^{\tfrac{1}{3}} (t)\} $ contains at least one zero of ζ(s).

Invariant submanifolds and properCR foliations on a para-coKählerian manifold with concircular structure vector field

After recalling the basic properties of para-coKählerian manifolds \(\tilde M\) with concircular structure vector field ξ, the infinitesimal auto morphismsX of the structure 1-form \(\tilde \eta \) are considered. One of the results is that the Lie derivative of all powers of the structure 2-form \(\tilde \Omega ,\) i.e. \(\mathcal{L}x\tilde \Omega ^p ;p = 1,...,m,\) is exterior recurrent. Further two types of horizontal distributionsD _n which are normal to ξ. IfD _t (resp.D _n ) is involutive, the corresponding leafM _t (resp.M _n ) is a minimal submanifold of \(\tilde M\) . FurtherM _n is a symplectic submanifold and ξ is an umbilical normal section ofM _n . Finally proper immersion \(M \to \tilde M\) are discussed, whereM is aCR-sub-manifold whose horizontal distribution isD _t . It is shown that the vertical distribution is involutive, and the restriction of ξ toM is an symptotic direction. Some interesting special cases are treated.     

On the order of the error function of the square-full integers

LetL(x) denote the number of square full integers ≤x. By a square-full integer, we mean a positive integer all of whose prime factors have multiplicity at least two. It is well known that $$\left. {L(x)} \right| \sim \frac{{\zeta ({3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2})}}{{\zeta (3)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + \frac{{\zeta ({2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3})}}{{\zeta (2)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} ,$$ where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann Zeta function. Let Δ(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula forL(x). On the basis of the Riemann hypothesis (R.H.), it is known that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{\tfrac{{13}}{{81}} + \varepsilon } )\) for every ε>0. In this paper, we prove the following results on the assumption of R.H.: (1) $$\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_1^x {\Delta (t)dt} = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } ),$$ (2) $$\int\limits_1^x {\frac{{\Delta (t)}}{t}\log } ^{v - 1} \left( {\frac{x}{t}} \right) = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } )$$ for any integer ν≥1. In fact, we prove some general results and deduce the above from them. On the basis of (1) and (2) above, we conjecture that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {12}}} \right. \kern-0em} {12}} + \varepsilon } )\) under the assumption of R.H.     

Estimate for the spectrum of an operator bundle and its application to stability problems

Simple estimates are obtained for the spectrum of the operator bundle \(R(\lambda ) = \sum\nolimits_{i = 0}^n {A_{n - i} \lambda ^i }\) in terms of estimates of the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the operators \(\frac{1}{2}(A_{n - i} - A_{n - i}^* )(i = 0,1,2, \ldots n)\) and the norms of the operators \(\frac{1}{2}(A_{n - i} - A_{n - i}^* )(i = 0,1,2, \ldots n)\) We formulate a criterion of the asymptotic stability of the differential equations $$\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^n {A_{n - i} } \frac{{d^{(i)} x}}{{dt^i }} = 0.$$ We present examples of the stability conditions for equations with n=2 and n=3.     

\mathfrak{E} of topological spaces II

In this paper, we obtain analogues, in the situation of \(\mathfrak{E}\) -extensions, of Magill's theorem on lattices of compactifications. We define an epireflective subcategory of the categoryT 2 of all Hausdorff spaces to be admissive (respectively finitely admissive) if for any \(\mathfrak{E}\) -regular spaceX, every Hausdorff quotient of \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X\) which is Urysohn on \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) (respectively which is finitary on \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) ) and which is identity onX, has \(\mathfrak{E}\) . We notice that there are many proper epireflective subcategories ofT 2 containing all compact spaces and which are admissive; there are many such which are not admissive but finitely admissive. We prove that when \(\mathfrak{E}\) is a finitely admissive epireflective subcategory ofT 2, then the lattices of finitary \(\mathfrak{E}\) -extensions of two spacesX andY are isomorphic if and only if \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) and \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} Y - Y\) are homeomorphic. Further if \(\mathfrak{E}\) is admissive, then the lattices of Urysohn \(\mathfrak{E}\) -extensions ofX andY are isomorphic if and only if \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} X - X\) and \(\beta _\mathfrak{E} Y - Y\) are homeomorphic.     

A discreteness criterion for the spectrum of a quasielliptic operator

For the spectrum of the operator $$u = \sum\nolimits_{j = 1}^n {( - 1)^{m_j } D_j^{2m_j } u + q(x)u,} $$ to be discrete, where the m_j are arbitrary positive integers such that \(\sum\nolimits_{j = 1}^n {\tfrac{1}{{2m_j }}< 1} \) , and q(x) ≥ 1, it is necessary and sufficient that \(\int\limits_K {q (x) dx \to \infty } \) , when the cube K tends to infinity while preserving its dimensions.     

On some filters and ideals of the Medvedev lattice

Let \(\mathfrak{M}\) be the Medvedev lattice: this paper investigates some filters and ideals (most of them already introduced by Dyment, [4]) of \(\mathfrak{M}\) . If \(\mathfrak{G}\) is any of the filters or ideals considered, the questions concerning \(\mathfrak{G}\) which we try to answer are: (1) is \(\mathfrak{G}\) prime? What is the cardinality of \({\mathfrak{M} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {\mathfrak{M} \mathfrak{G}}} \right. \kern-0em} \mathfrak{G}}\) ? Occasionally, we point out some general facts on theT-degrees or the partial degrees, by which these questions can be answered.     

A conjecture of Segre on diophantine approximation

In 1945,B. Segre proved the following classical theorem: Every irrational ξ has an infinity of rational approximationsp/q such that (0) $$\frac{{ - 1}}{{q^2 \sqrt {1 + 4\tau } }}< \frac{p}{q} - \xi< \frac{\tau }{{q^2 \sqrt {1 + 4\tau } }},$$ where τ is any given non-negative real number. Segre conjectured that when τ≠0 and τ^?1 is not an integer, inequalities (0) can be improved by replacing \(\sqrt {1 + 4\tau } \) and \(\sqrt {1 + 4\tau } /\tau \) with larger numbers. In this paper we prove that these two numbers can be replaced with the larger numbers \(\sqrt {1 + 4\tau } + 0.2\tau ^2 \{ \tau ^{ - 1} \} (1 - \{ \tau ^{ - 1} \} )\) and \(\sqrt {1 + 4\tau } /\tau + 0.2\tau ^2 \{ \tau ^{ - 1} \} (1 - \{ \tau ^{ - 1} \} )\) respectively, where {τ^?1} is the fractional part of τ^?1.     

Interface foliation for an inhomogeneous Allen–Cahn equation in Riemannian manifolds

Let ${(\mathcal{M}, \tilde{g})}$ be an N-dimensional smooth compact Riemannian manifold. We consider the problem ${\varepsilon^2 \triangle_{\tilde{g}} \tilde{u} + V(\tilde{z})\tilde{u}(1-\tilde{u}^2)=0\; {\rm in}\; \mathcal{M}}$ , where ${\varepsilon > 0}$ is a small parameter and V is a positive, smooth function in ${\mathcal{M}}$ . Let ${\kappa \subset \mathcal{M}}$ be an (N ? 1)-dimensional smooth submanifold that divides ${\mathcal{M}}$ into two disjoint components ${\mathcal{M}_{\pm}}$ . We assume κ is stationary and non-degenerate relative to the weighted area functional ${\int_{\kappa}V^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ . For each integer m ≥ 2, we prove the existence of a sequence ${\varepsilon = \varepsilon_\ell \rightarrow 0}$ , and two opposite directional solutions with m-transition layers near κ, whose mutual distance is ${{\rm O}(\varepsilon | \log \varepsilon | )}$ . Moreover, the interaction between neighboring layers is governed by a type of Jacobi–Toda system.     

The Wiener--Hopf Integral Equation in the Supercritical Case

We consider the scalar homogeneous equation $S(x) = \int_0^\infty {K(x - t)S(t)dt,{\text{ }}x \in \mathbb{R}^ + \equiv (0,\infty ),}$ with symmetric kernel $K:K( - x) = K(x),{\text{ }}x \in \mathbb{R}_1$ satisfying the conditions $0 \leqslant K \in L_1 (\mathbb{R}^ + ) \cap C^{\left( 2 \right)} (\mathbb{R}^ + )$ , $\int_0^\infty {K(t)dt > \frac{1}{2}} $ , $K' \leqslant 0{\text{ }}and 0 \leqslant K'' \downarrow {\text{ }}on \mathbb{R}^ + $ . We prove the existence of a real solution S of the equation given above with asymptotic behavior $S(x) = O(x){\text{ as }}x \to + \infty $ .     

The algebraic independence of certain transcendental continued fractions

In the present note the algebraic independence of certain continued fractions is proved. Especially, we prove that the Böhmer-Mahler's series \(\sum\limits_{K = 1}^\infty {\left[ {\omega _v k} \right]} {\text{ }}g_\mu ^{ - k} \left( {1 \leqslant \mu \leqslant s,1 \leqslant v \leqslant t} \right)\) are algebraically independent, where \(\mathop \omega \nolimits_1 {\text{ , }}...{\text{ , }}\mathop \omega \nolimits_{\text{t}} \) , ..., \(\mathop g\nolimits_1 {\text{ , }}...{\text{ , }}\mathop g\nolimits_s \) are some irrational numbers andg ₁, ...,g _s are distinct positive integers.     

On some entire modular forms of weights\tfrac{7}{2} and\tfrac{9}{2} for the congruence group Γ0(4N)for the congruence group Γ0(4N)

Entire modular forms of weights $\tfrac{7}{2}$ and $\tfrac{9}{2}$ for the congruence group Γ₀(4N) are constructed, which will be useful for revealing the arithmetical sense of additional terms in formulas for the number of representations of positive integers by quadratic forms in 7 and 9 variables.     

Minimality of Convergence in Measure Topologies on Finite von Neumann Algebras

We prove that the natural embedding of the metric ideal space on a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ into the *-algebra of measurable operators $\tilde {\mathcal {M}}$ endowed with the topology of convergence in measure is continuous. Using this fact, we prove that the topology of convergence in measure is a minimal one among all metrizable topologies consistent with the ring structure on $\tilde {\mathcal {M}}$ .     

Erratum et Addendum zu der Arbeit: Über exzeptionelle Mengen

Let X be a complex space and A?X a compact subspace. Let \(\tilde X\) be the blowing up of A in X and \(\tilde A\) ? \(\tilde X\) the resulting hyper-surface. Then the normal bundle of \(\tilde A\) in { \(\tilde X\) is weakly negative iff the normal bundle of the k-th infinitesimal neighborhood of A in X is weakly negative for all k?0. This corrects a theorem in [5].     

On Certain Integral Operators of Fractional Type

In this paper we study integral operators of the form $$T\,f\left( x \right) = \int {k_1 \left( {x - a_1 y} \right)k_2 \left( {x - a_2 y} \right)...k_m \left( {x - a_m y} \right)f\left( y \right)dy} ,$$ $$k_i \left( y \right) = \sum\limits_{j \in Z} {2^{\frac{{jn}}{{q_i }}} } \varphi _{i,j} \left( {2^j y} \right),\,1 \leqq q_i < \infty ,\frac{1}{{q_1 }} + \frac{1}{{q_2 }} + ... + \frac{1}{{q_m }} = 1 - r,$$ $0 \leqq r < 1$ , and $\varphi _{i,j}$ satisfying suitable regularity conditions. We obtain the boundedness of $T:L^p \left( {R^n } \right) \to T:L^q \left( {R^n } \right)$ for $1 < p < \frac{1}{r}$ and $\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p} - r$ .     

A sharp equivalence between H ∞ functional calculus and square function estimates

Let (T _t ) _{t?≥ 0} be a bounded analytic semigroup on L ^p (Ω), with 1?<?p?<?∞. Let ?A denote its infinitesimal generator. It is known that if A and A ^* both satisfy square function estimates ${\bigl\|\bigl(\int_{0}^{\infty} \vert A^{\frac{1}{2}} T_t(x)\vert^2 {\rm d}t \bigr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigr\|_{L^p} \lesssim \|x\|_{L^p}}$ and ${\bigl\|\bigl(\int_{0}^{\infty} \vert A^{*\frac{1}{2}} T_t^*(y) \vert^2 {\rm d}t \bigr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigr\|_{L^{p^\prime}} \lesssim \|y\|_{L^{p^\prime}}}$ for ${x\in L^p(\Omega)}$ and ${y\in L^{p^\prime}(\Omega)}$ , then A admits a bounded ${H^{\infty}(\Sigma_\theta)}$ functional calculus for any ${\theta>\frac{\pi}{2}}$ . We show that this actually holds true for some ${\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}}$ .     

A note on periodic solutions of a differential equation with two parameters

In [1] (p. 215), the authors Andronov, Leontovich-Andronova, Gordon, and Maier, consider the following equation: $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} \tfrac{{dx}}{{dt}} = y, \hfill \\ \tfrac{{dy}}{{dt}} = x + x^2 - \left( {\varepsilon _1 + \varepsilon _2 x} \right)y, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ whereε ₁ andε ₂ are real constants andε ₁ andε ₂ are not both zero. They proved that there are no non-trivial periodic solutions except possibly for the case $0< \tfrac{{\varepsilon _1 }}{{\varepsilon _2 }}< \tfrac{3}{2}$ . They left that case as an open problem. In this note we prove that there are indeed no non-trivial periodic solutions in the case $0< \tfrac{{\varepsilon _1 }}{{\varepsilon _2 }}< \tfrac{3}{2}$ either. Our method of proof consists essentially of constructing a Dulac function (see [6] and [9]) and using the conception of Duff's rotated vector field (see [4], [7], [8], [10], and [11]).     

Subspace Arrangements of Type B n and D n

Let ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ be the family of linear subspaces of ?ⁿ given by all equations of the form $\varepsilon _1 x_{i_1 } = \varepsilon _2 x_{i_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot \varepsilon _k x_{i_k } ,$ for 1 ≤ < ? ? ? < i _k ≤ i and $\left( {\varepsilon _1 ,...,\varepsilon _k } \right)\varepsilon \left\{ { + 1, - 1} \right\}^k $ Also let ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h} $ be ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ enlarged by the subspaces $x_{j_1 } = x_{j_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot x_{j_h } = 0,$ for 1 ≤. The special cases ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,2,1} $ and ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} $ are well known as the reflection hyperplane arrangements corresponding to the Coxeter groups of type B _nand D _n respectively. In this paper we study combinatorial and topological properties of the intersection lattices of these subspace arrangements. Expressions for their Möbius functions and characteristic polynomials are derived. Lexicographic shellability is established in the case of ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} 1 \leqslant h < k$ , which allows computation of the homology of its intersection lattice and the cohomology groups of the manifold $\begin{gathered} {\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} \\ M_{n,k,h,} = {\mathbb{R}}^n \backslash \bigcup {{\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} } \\ \end{gathered} $ . For instance, it is shown that $H^d \left( {M_{n,k,k - 1} } \right)$ is torsion-free and is nonzero if and only if d = t(k ? 2) for some $t,0 \leqslant t \leqslant \left[ {{n \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {n k}} \right. \kern-0em} k}} \right]$ . Torsion-free cohomology follows also for the complement in ?ⁿof the complexification ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h}^C ,1 \leqslant h < k$ .     

The CF table

Letf be a continuous function on the circle ¦z¦=1. We present a theory of the (untruncated) “Carathéodory-Fejér (CF) table” of best supremumnorm approximants tof in the classes \(\tilde R_{mn} \) of functions $${{\tilde r(z) = \sum\limits_{k = - \infty }^m {a_k z^k } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\tilde r(z) = \sum\limits_{k = - \infty }^m {a_k z^k } } {\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {b_k } z^k ,}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {b_k } z^k ,}}$$ , where the series converges in 1< ¦z¦ <∞. (The casem=n is also associated with the names Adamjan, Arov, and Krein.) Our central result is an equioscillation-type characterization: \(\tilde r \in \tilde R_{mn} \) is the unique CF approximant \(\tilde r^* \) tof if and only if \(f - \tilde r\) has constant modulus and winding numberω≥ m+ n+1?δ on ¦z¦=1, whereδ is the “defect” of \(\tilde r\) . If the Fourier series off converges absolutely, then \(\tilde r^* \) is continuous on ¦z¦=1, andω can be defined in the usual way. For general continuousf, \(\tilde r^* \) may be discontinuous, andω is defined by a radial limit. The characterization theorem implies that the CF table breaks into square blocks of repeated entries, just as in Chebyshev, Padé, and formal Chebyshev-Padé approximation. We state a generalization of these results for weighted CF approximation on a Jordan region, and also show that the CF operator \(K:f \mapsto \tilde r^* \) is continuous atf if and only if (m, n) lies in the upper-right or lower-left corner of its square block.
