Multiplication Operators Defined by a Class of Polynomials on {L_a^2(\mathbb{D}^2)}

In this paper, we consider those multiplication operators M _p on \({L_a^2(\mathbb{D}^2)}\) defined by a class of polynomials p. Also, this paper consider the reducing subspaces of M _p , the von Neumann algebra \({ \mathcal{W}^*(p)}\) generated by M _p , and its commutant \({\mathcal{V}^*(p) = \mathcal{W}^*(p)'.}\) The structure of \({\mathcal{V}^*(p)}\) is completely determined, along with those reducing subspaces of M _p .     

Spectral theorem for multipliers on {L_{\omega}^{2}(\mathbb{R})}

We study the spectrum σ(M) of the multipliers M which commute with the translations on weighted spaces ${L_{\omega}^{2}(\mathbb{R})}We study the spectrum σ(M) of the multipliers M which commute with the translations on weighted spaces L_w²(\mathbbR){L_{\omega}^{2}(\mathbb{R})} For operators M in the algebra generated by the convolutions with f ? C_c(\mathbb R){\phi \in {C_c(\mathbb {R})}} we show that [`(m(W))] = s(M){\overline{\mu(\Omega)} = \sigma(M)}, where the set Ω is determined by the spectrum of the shift S and μ is the symbol of M. For the general multipliers M we establish that [`(m(W))]{\overline{\mu(\Omega)}} is included in σ(M). A generalization of these results is given for the weighted spaces L²_w(\mathbb R^k){L^2_{\omega}(\mathbb {R}^{k})} where the weight ω has a special form.     

Conservative fragments of {{S}^{1}_{2}} and {{R}^{1}_{2}}

Conservative subtheories of ${{R}^{1}_{2}}$ and ${{S}^{1}_{2}}$ are presented. For ${{S}^{1}_{2}}$ , a slight tightening of Je?ábek??s result (Math Logic Q 52(6):613?C624, 2006) that ${T^{0}_{2} \preceq_{\forall \Sigma^{b}_{1}}S^{1}_{2}}$ is presented: It is shown that ${T^{0}_{2}}$ can be axiomatised as BASIC together with induction on sharply bounded formulas of one alternation. Within this ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -theory, we define a ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -theory, ${T^{-1}_{2}}$ , for the ${\forall\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -consequences of ${S^{1}_{2}}$ . We show ${T^{-1}_{2}}$ is weak by showing it cannot ${\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -define division by 3. We then consider what would be the analogous ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative subtheory of ${R^{1}_{2}}$ based on Pollett (Ann Pure Appl Logic 100:189?C245, 1999. It is shown that this theory, ${{T}^{0,\left\{2^{(||\dot{id}||)}\right\}}_{2}}$ , also cannot ${\Sigma^{b}_{0}}$ -define division by 3. On the other hand, we show that ${{S}^{0}_{2}+open_{\{||id||\}}}$ -COMP is a ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative subtheory of ${R^{1}_{2}}$ . Finally, we give a refinement of Johannsen and Pollett (Logic Colloquium?? 98, 262?C279, 2000) and show that ${\hat{C}^{0}_{2}}$ is ${\forall\hat\Sigma^{b}_{1}}$ -conservative over a theory based on open _cl-comprehension.     

Scales of minimal complexity in {K(\mathbb{R})}

Using a Levy hierarchy and a fine structure theory for ${K(\mathbb{R})}$ , we obtain scales of minimal complexity in this inner model. Each such scale is obtained assuming the determinacy of only those sets of reals whose complexity is strictly below that of the scale constructed.     

Complete bounded null curves immersed in {\mathbb {C}^3} and {\rm {SL}(2,\mathbb {C})}

We construct a simply connected complete bounded mean curvature one surface in the hyperbolic 3-space ${\mathcal {H}^3}$ . Such a surface in ${\mathcal {H}^3}$ can be lifted as a complete bounded null curve in ${\rm {SL}(2,\mathbb {C})}$ . Using a transformation between null curves in ${\mathbb {C}^3}$ and null curves in ${\rm {SL}(2,\mathbb {C})}$ , we are able to produce the first examples of complete bounded null curves in ${\mathbb {C}^3}$ . As an application, we can show the existence of a complete bounded minimal surface in ${\mathbb {R}^3}$ whose conjugate minimal surface is also bounded. Moreover, we can show the existence of a complete bounded immersed complex submanifold in ${\mathbb {C}^2}$ .     

Renewal reward process for T-related fuzzy random variables on (\mathbb {R}^{p}, \mathbb {R}^{q})

In this paper, following our previous studies, we investigate the renewal rewards process with respect to the necessity, credibility, chance measure and the expected value in which the random inter-arrival times and random rewards are characterized as weighted fuzzy numbers under \(t\) -norm-based fuzzy operations on \(\mathbb {R}^{p}\) and \(\mathbb {R}^{q}\,\,p,\,q \ge 1,\) respectively. Many versions of \(T\) -related fuzzy renewal rewards theorems are proved by using the law of large numbers for weighted fuzzy variables on \(\mathbb {R}^{p}\) . An application example is provided to illustrate the utility of the results.     

On Quadratic Differentials and Twisted Normal Maps of Surfaces in {\mathbb{S}^{2} \times\mathbb{R}} and {\mathbb{H}^{2} \times\mathbb{R}}

Given a Lie group G with a bi-invariant metric and a compact Lie subgroup K, Bittencourt and Ripoll used the homogeneous structure of quotient spaces to define a Gauss map ${\mathcal{N}:M^{n}\rightarrow{\mathbb{S}}}$ on any hypersupersurface ${M^{n}\looparrowright G/K}$ , where ${{\mathbb{S}}}$ is the unit sphere of the Lie algebra of G. It is proved in Bittencourt and Ripoll (Pacific J Math 224:45–64, 2006) that M ⁿ having constant mean curvature (CMC) is equivalent to ${\mathcal{N}}$ being harmonic, a generalization of a Ruh–Vilms theorem for submanifolds in the Euclidean space. In particular, when n = 2, the induced quadratic differential ${\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}:=(\mathcal{N}^{\ast}g)^{2,0}}$ is holomorphic on CMC surfaces of G/K. In this paper, we take ${G/K={\mathbb{S}}^{2}\times{\mathbb{R}}}$ and compare ${\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}}$ with the Abresch–Rosenberg differential ${\mathcal{Q}}$ , also holomorphic for CMC surfaces. It is proved that ${\mathcal{Q}=\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}}$ , after showing that ${\mathcal{N}}$ is the twisted normal given by (1.5) herein. Then we define the twisted normal for surfaces in ${{\mathbb{H}}^{2}\times{\mathbb{R}}}$ and prove that ${\mathcal{Q}=\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}}$ as well. Within the unified model for the two product spaces, we compute the tension field of ${\mathcal{N}}$ and extend to surfaces in ${{\mathbb{H}}^{2}\times{\mathbb{R}}}$ the equivalence between the CMC property and the harmonicity of ${\mathcal{N}.}$

Wandering Subspaces of the Bergman Space and the Dirichlet Space Over {{\mathbb{D}^{n}}}

Doubly commuting invariant subspaces of the Bergman space and the Dirichlet space over the unit polydisc \({\mathbb{D}^n}\) (with \({n \geq 2}\) ) are investigated. We show that for any non-empty subset \({\alpha=\{\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k\}}\) of \({\{1,\ldots,n\}}\) and doubly commuting invariant subspace \({\mathcal{S}}\) of the Bergman space or the Dirichlet space over \({\mathbb{D}^n}\) , restriction of the multiplication operator tuple on \({\mathcal{S}, M_{\alpha}|_\mathcal{S}:=(M_{z_{\alpha_1}}|_\mathcal{S},\ldots, M_{z_{\alpha_k}}|_\mathcal{S})}\) , always possesses generating wandering subspace of the form $$\bigcap_{i=1}^k(\mathcal{S}\ominus z_{\alpha_i}\mathcal{S})$$ .     

Minimal generating and normally generating sets for the braid and mapping class groups of \mathbb{D }^{2}, \mathbb S ^{2} and \mathbb{R P^2}

We consider the (pure) braid groups $B_{n}(M)$ and $P_{n}(M)$ , where $M$ is the $2$ -sphere $\mathbb S ^{2}$ or the real projective plane $\mathbb R P^2$ . We determine the minimal cardinality of (normal) generating sets $X$ of these groups, first when there is no restriction on $X$ , and secondly when $X$ consists of elements of finite order. This improves on results of Berrick and Matthey in the case of $\mathbb S ^{2}$ , and extends them in the case of $\mathbb R P^2$ . We begin by recalling the situation for the Artin braid groups ( $M=\mathbb{D }^{2}$ ). As applications of our results, we answer the corresponding questions for the associated mapping class groups, and we show that for $M=\mathbb S ^{2}$ or $\mathbb R P^2$ , the induced action of $B_n(M)$ on $H_3(\widetilde{F_n(M)};\mathbb{Z })$ is trivial, $F_{n}(M)$ being the $n^\mathrm{th}$ configuration space of $M$ .     

Towards factoring in {SL(2,\,\mathbb{F}_{2^n})}

The security of many cryptographic protocols relies on the hardness of some computational problems. Besides discrete logarithm or integer factorization, other problems are regularly proposed as potential hard problems. The factorization problem in finite groups is one of them. Given a finite group G, a set of generators generators for this group and an element ${g\in G}$ , the factorization problem asks for a “short” representation of g as a product of the generators. The problem is related to a famous conjecture of Babai on the diameter of Cayley graphs. It is also motivated by the preimage security of Cayley hash functions, a particular kind of cryptographic hash functions. The problem has been solved for a few particular generator sets, but essentially nothing is known for generic generator sets. In this paper, we make significant steps towards a solution of the factorization problem in the group ${G:=\,SL(2,\,\mathbb{F}_{2^n})}$ , a particularly interesting group for cryptographic applications. To avoid considering all generator sets separately, we first give a new reduction tool that allows focusing on some generator sets with a “nice” special structure. We then identify classes of trapdoor matrices for these special generator sets, such that the factorization of a single one of these matrices would allow efficiently factoring any element in the group. Finally, we provide a heuristic subexponential time algorithm that can compute subexponential length factorizations of any element for any pair of generators of ${SL(2,\,\mathbb{F}_{2^n})}$ . Our results do not yet completely remove the factorization problem in ${SL(2,\,\mathbb{F}_{2^n})}$ from the list of potential hard problems useful for cryptography. However, we believe that each one of our individual results is a significant step towards a polynomial time algorithm for factoring in ${SL(2,\,\mathbb{F}_{2^n})}$ .     

Classification of rotational special Weingarten surfaces of minimal type in {\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}} and {\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}

In this paper we classify the complete rotational special Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ and ${\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ ; i.e. rotational surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ and ${\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}}$ whose mean curvature H and extrinsic curvature K _e satisfy H = f(H ² ? K _e ), for some function ${f \in \mathcal{C}^1([0,+\infty))}$ such that f(0) = 0 and 4x(f′(x))² < 1 for any x ≥ 0. Furthermore we show the existence of non-complete examples of such surfaces.

Rank-one convex hulls in \mathbb{R}^{2\times2}

We study the rank-one convex hull of compact sets . We show that if K contains no two matrices whose difference has rank one, and if K contains no four matrices forming a T ₄ configuration, then the rank-one convex hull K ^rc is equal to K. Furthermore, we give a simple numerical criterion for testing for T ₄ configurations.
