Groups with a ternary equivalence relation

We consider in a group \((G,\cdot )\) the ternary relation

$$\begin{aligned} \kappa := \{(\alpha , \beta , \gamma ) \in G^3 \ | \ \alpha \cdot \beta ^{-1} \cdot \gamma = \gamma \cdot \beta ^{-1} \cdot \alpha \} \end{aligned}$$

and show that \(\kappa \) is a ternary equivalence relation if and only if the set \( \mathfrak Z \) of centralizers of the group G forms a fibration of G (cf. Theorems 2, 3). Therefore G can be provided with an incidence structure

$$\begin{aligned} \mathfrak G:= \{\gamma \cdot Z \ | \ \gamma \in G , Z \in \mathfrak Z(G) \}. \end{aligned}$$

We study the automorphism group of \((G,\kappa )\), i.e. all permutations \(\varphi \) of the set G such that \( (\alpha , \beta , \gamma ) \in \kappa \) implies \((\varphi (\alpha ),\varphi (\beta ),\varphi (\gamma ))\in \kappa \). We show \(\mathrm{Aut}(G,\kappa )=\mathrm{Aut}(G,\mathfrak G)\), \(\mathrm{Aut} (G,\cdot ) \subseteq \mathrm{Aut}(G,\kappa )\) and if \( \varphi \in \mathrm{Aut}(G,\kappa )\) with \(\varphi (1)=1\) and \(\varphi (\xi ^{-1})= (\varphi (\xi ))^{-1}\) for all \(\xi \in G\) then \(\varphi \) is an automorphism of \((G,\cdot )\). This allows us to prove a representation theorem of \(\mathrm{Aut}(G,\kappa )\) (cf. Theorem 6) and that for \(\alpha \in G \) the maps

$$\begin{aligned} \tilde{\alpha }\ : \ G \rightarrow G;~ \xi \mapsto \alpha \cdot \xi ^{-1} \cdot \alpha \end{aligned}$$

of the corresponding reflection structure \((G, \widetilde{G})\) (with \( \tilde{G} := \{\tilde{\gamma }\ | \ \gamma \in G \}\)) are point reflections. If \((G ,\cdot )\) is uniquely 2-divisible and if for \(\alpha \in G\), \(\alpha ^{1\over 2}\) denotes the unique solution of \(\xi ^2=\alpha \) then with \(\alpha \odot \beta := \alpha ^{1\over 2} \cdot \beta \cdot \alpha ^{1\over 2}\), the pair \((G,\odot )\) is a K-loop (cf. Theorem 5).

     

On the Diophantine equation $$X^{2N}+2^{2\alpha }5^{2\beta }{p}^{2\gamma } = Z^5$$

We prove that for each prime p, positive integer \(\alpha \), and non-negative integers \(\beta \) and \(\gamma \), the Diophantine equation \(X^{2N} + 2^{2\alpha }5^{2\beta }{p}^{2\gamma } = Z^5\) has no solution with N, X, \(Z\in \mathbb {Z}^+\), \(N > 1\), and \(\gcd (X,Z) = 1\).     

Extremal Problems for Mappings with Generalized Parametric Representation in $${{\mathbb {C}}}^{n}$$

In this paper we are concerned with the family \(\widetilde{S}^t_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\) (\(t\ge 0\)) of normalized biholomorphic mappings on the Euclidean unit ball \(\mathbb {B}^n\) in \({\mathbb {C}}^n\) that can be embedded in normal Loewner chains whose normalizations are given by time-dependent operators \(A\in \widetilde{\mathcal {A}}\), where \(\widetilde{\mathcal {A}}\) is a family of measurable mappings from \([0,\infty )\) into \(L({\mathbb {C}}^n)\) which satisfy certain natural assumptions. In particular, we consider extreme points and support points associated with the compact family \(\widetilde{S}^t_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\), where \(A\in \widetilde{\mathcal {A}}\). We prove that if \(f(z,t)=V(t)^{-1}z+\cdots \) is a normal Loewner chain such that \(V(s)f(\cdot ,s)\in \mathrm{ex}\,\widetilde{S}^s_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\) (resp. \(V(s)f(\cdot ,s)\in \mathrm{supp}\,\widetilde{S}^s_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\)), then \(V(t)f(\cdot ,t)\in \mathrm{ex}\, \widetilde{S}^t_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\), for all \(t\ge s\) (resp. \(V(t)f(\cdot ,t)\in \mathrm{supp}\,\widetilde{S}^t_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\), for all \(t\ge s\)), where V(t) is the unique solution on \([0,\infty )\) of the initial value problem: \(\frac{d V}{d t}(t)=-A(t)V(t)\), a.e. \(t\ge 0\), \(V(0)=I_n\). Also, we obtain an example of a bounded support point for the family \(\widetilde{S}_A^t(\mathbb {B}^2)\), where \(A\in \widetilde{\mathcal {A}}\) is a certain time-dependent operator. We also consider the notion of a reachable family with respect to time-dependent linear operators \(A\in \widetilde{\mathcal {A}}\), and obtain characterizations of extreme/support points associated with these families of bounded biholomorphic mappings on \(\mathbb {B}^n\). Useful examples and applications yield that the study of the family \(\widetilde{S}^t_A(\mathbb {B}^n)\) for time-dependent operators \(A\in \widetilde{\mathcal {A}}\) is basically different from that in the case of constant time-dependent linear operators.     

On Standard Derived Equivalences of Orbit Categories

Let k be a commutative ring, \(\mathcal {A}\) and \(\mathcal {B}\) – two k-linear categories with an action of a group G. We introduce the notion of a standard G-equivalence from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\), where \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) is the homotopy category of finitely generated projective \(\mathcal {A}\)-complexes. We construct a map from the set of standard G-equivalences to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) and a map from the set of standard G-equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {B}/G)\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {A}/G)\), where \(\mathcal {A}/G\) denotes the orbit category. We investigate the properties of these maps and apply our results to the case where \(\mathcal {A}=\mathcal {B}=R\) is a Frobenius k-algebra and G is the cyclic group generated by its Nakayama automorphism ν. We apply this technique to obtain the generating set of the derived Picard group of a Frobenius Nakayama algebra over an algebraically closed field.     

Estimates for coefficients of certain <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

Let \(\pi _{\varphi }\) (or \(\pi _{\psi }\)) be an automorphic cuspidal representation of \(\text {GL}_{2} (\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\) associated to a primitive Maass cusp form \(\varphi \) (or \(\psi \)), and \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\) be the jth symmetric power lift of \(\pi _{\varphi }\). Let \(a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)\) denote the nth Dirichlet series coefficient of the principal L-function associated to \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\). In this paper, we study first moments of Dirichlet series coefficients of automorphic representations \(\mathrm{sym}^3 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{4}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\), and \(\pi _{\psi }\otimes \mathrm{sym}^2 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{6}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\). For \(3 \le j \le 8\), estimates for \(|a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)|\) on average over a short interval have also been established.     

CLT for Random Walks of Commuting Endomorphisms on Compact Abelian Groups

Let \(\mathcal S\) be an abelian group of automorphisms of a probability space \((X, {\mathcal A}, \mu )\) with a finite system of generators \((A_1, \ldots , A_d).\) Let \(A^{{\underline{\ell }}}\) denote \(A_1^{\ell _1} \ldots A_d^{\ell _d}\), for \({{\underline{\ell }}}= (\ell _1, \ldots , \ell _d).\) If \((Z_k)\) is a random walk on \({\mathbb {Z}}^d\), one can study the asymptotic distribution of the sums \(\sum _{k=0}^{n-1} \, f \circ A^{\,{Z_k(\omega )}}\) and \(\sum _{{\underline{\ell }}\in {\mathbb {Z}}^d} {\mathbb {P}}(Z_n= {\underline{\ell }}) \, A^{\underline{\ell }}f\), for a function f on X. In particular, given a random walk on commuting matrices in \(SL(\rho , {\mathbb {Z}})\) or in \({\mathcal M}^*(\rho , {\mathbb {Z}})\) acting on the torus \({\mathbb {T}}^\rho \), \(\rho \ge 1\), what is the asymptotic distribution of the associated ergodic sums along the random walk for a smooth function on \({\mathbb {T}}^\rho \) after normalization? In this paper, we prove a central limit theorem when X is a compact abelian connected group G endowed with its Haar measure (e.g., a torus or a connected extension of a torus), \(\mathcal S\) a totally ergodic d-dimensional group of commuting algebraic automorphisms of G and f a regular function on G. The proof is based on the cumulant method and on preliminary results on random walks.     

Couplings of Brownian Motions of Deterministic Distance in Model Spaces of Constant Curvature

We consider the model space \(\mathbb {M}^{n}_{K}\) of constant curvature K and dimension \(n\ge 1\) (Euclidean space for \(K=0\), sphere for \(K>0\) and hyperbolic space for \(K<0\)), and we show that given a function \(\rho :[0,\infty )\rightarrow [0, \infty )\) with \(\rho (0)=\mathrm {dist}(x,y)\) there exists a coadapted coupling (X(t), Y(t)) of Brownian motions on \(\mathbb {M}^{n}_{K}\) starting at (x, y) such that \(\rho (t)=\mathrm {dist}(X(t),Y(t))\) for every \(t\ge 0\) if and only if \(\rho \) is continuous and satisfies for almost every \(t\ge 0\) the differential inequality

$$\begin{aligned} -(n-1)\sqrt{K}\tan \left( \tfrac{\sqrt{K}\rho (t)}{2}\right) \le \rho '(t)\le -(n-1)\sqrt{K}\tan \left( \tfrac{\sqrt{K}\rho (t)}{2}\right) +\tfrac{2(n-1)\sqrt{K}}{\sin (\sqrt{K}\rho (t))}. \end{aligned}$$

In other words, we characterize all coadapted couplings of Brownian motions on the model space \(\mathbb {M}^{n}_{K}\) for which the distance between the processes is deterministic. In addition, the construction of the coupling is explicit for every choice of \(\rho \) satisfying the above hypotheses.

     

Algebras of Convolution-Type Operators with Piecewise Slowly Oscillating Data on Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

Let \({\mathcal B}_{p,w}\) be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on the weighted Lebesgue space \(L^p(\mathbb {R},w)\), where \(p\in (1,\infty )\) and w is a Muckenhoupt weight. We study the Banach subalgebra \(\mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) of \({\mathcal B}_{p,w}\) generated by all multiplication operators aI (\(a\in \mathrm{PSO}^\diamond \)) and all convolution operators \(W^0(b)\) (\(b\in \mathrm{PSO}_{p,w}^\diamond \)), where \(\mathrm{PSO}^\diamond \subset L^\infty (\mathbb {R})\) and \(\mathrm{PSO}_{p,w}^\diamond \subset M_{p,w}\) are algebras of piecewise slowly oscillating functions that admit piecewise slowly oscillating discontinuities at arbitrary points of \(\mathbb {R}\cup \{\infty \}\), and \(M_{p,w}\) is the Banach algebra of Fourier multipliers on \(L^p(\mathbb {R},w)\). For any Muckenhoupt weight w, we study the Fredholmness in the Banach algebra \({\mathcal Z}_{p,w}\subset \mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) generated by the operators \(aW^0(b)\) with slowly oscillating data \(a\in \mathrm{SO}^\diamond \) and \(b\in \mathrm{SO}^\diamond _{p,w}\). Then, under some condition on the weight w, we complete constructing a Fredholm symbol calculus for the Banach algebra \(\mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) in comparison with Karlovich and Loreto Hernández (Integr. Equations Oper. Theory 74:377–415, 2012) and Karlovich and Loreto Hernández (Integr. Equations Oper. Theory 75:49–86, 2013) and establish a Fredholm criterion for the operators \(A\in \mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) in terms of their symbols. A new approach to determine local spectra is found.     

Largest initial segments pointwise fixed by automorphisms of models of set theory

Given a model \(\mathcal {M}\) of set theory, and a nontrivial automorphism j of \(\mathcal {M}\), let \(\mathcal {I}_{\mathrm {fix}}(j)\) be the submodel of \(\mathcal {M}\) whose universe consists of elements m of \(\mathcal {M}\) such that \(j(x)=x\) for every x in the transitive closure of m (where the transitive closure of m is computed within \(\mathcal {M}\)). Here we study the class \(\mathcal {C}\) of structures of the form \(\mathcal {I}_{\mathrm {fix}}(j)\), where the ambient model \(\mathcal {M}\) satisfies a frugal yet robust fragment of \(\mathrm {ZFC}\) known as \(\mathrm {MOST}\), and \(j(m)=m\) whenever m is a finite ordinal in the sense of \(\mathcal {M}.\) Our main achievement is the calculation of the theory of \(\mathcal {C}\) as precisely \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm {Collection}\). The following theorems encapsulate our principal results: Theorem A. Every structure in \(\mathcal {C}\) satisfies \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm { Collection}\). Theorem B. Each of the following three conditions is sufficient for a countable structure \(\mathcal {N}\) to be in \(\mathcal {C}\):(a) \(\mathcal {N}\) is a transitive model of \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm {Collection}\).(b) \(\mathcal {N}\) is a recursively saturated model of \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm {Collection}\).(c) \(\mathcal {N}\) is a model of \(\mathrm {ZFC}\). Theorem C. Suppose \(\mathcal {M}\) is a countable recursively saturated model of \(\mathrm {ZFC}\) and I is a proper initial segment of \(\mathrm {Ord}^{\mathcal {M}}\) that is closed under exponentiation and contains \(\omega ^\mathcal {M}\) . There is a group embedding \(j\longmapsto \check{j}\) from \(\mathrm {Aut}(\mathbb {Q})\) into \(\mathrm {Aut}(\mathcal {M})\) such that I is the longest initial segment of \(\mathrm {Ord}^{\mathcal {M}}\) that is pointwise fixed by \(\check{j}\) for every nontrivial \(j\in \mathrm {Aut}(\mathbb {Q}).\) In Theorem C, \(\mathrm {Aut}(X)\) is the group of automorphisms of the structure X, and \(\mathbb {Q}\) is the ordered set of rationals.     

Quasi-classical generalized CRF structures

In an earlier paper, we studied manifolds M endowed with a generalized F structure \(\Phi \in \mathrm{End}(TM\oplus T^*M)\), skew-symmetric with respect to the pairing metric, such that \(\Phi ^3+\Phi =0\). Furthermore, if \(\Phi \) is integrable (in some well-defined sense), \(\Phi \) is a generalized CRF structure. In the present paper, we study quasi-classical generalized F and CRF structures, which may be seen as a generalization of the holomorphic Poisson structures (it is well known that the latter may also be defined via generalized geometry). The structures that we study are equivalent to a pair of tensor fields \((A\in \mathrm{End}(TM),\pi \in \wedge ^2TM)\), where \(A^3+A=0\) and some relations between A and \(\pi \) hold. We establish the integrability conditions in terms of \((A,\pi )\). They include the facts that A is a classical CRF structure, \(\pi \) is a Poisson bivector field and \(\mathrm{im}\,A\) is a (non)holonomic Poisson submanifold of \((M,\pi )\). We discuss the case where either \(\mathrm{ker}\,A\) or \(\mathrm{im}\,A\) is tangent to a foliation and, in particular, the case of almost contact manifolds. Finally, we show that the dual bundle of \(\mathrm{im}\,A\) inherits a Lie algebroid structure and we briefly discuss the Poisson cohomology of \(\pi \), including an associated spectral sequence and a Dolbeault type grading.     

Periodic analogues of Dedekind sums and transformation formulas of Eisenstein series

Let \(\bar{p}(n)\) denote the number of overpartitions of n. Fortin et al. and Hirschhorn and Sellers established some congruences modulo powers of 2 for \(\bar{p}(n)\). Recently, Xia and Yao found several congruences modulo powers of 2 and 3. In particular, they proved that \(\bar{p}(96n+12)\equiv 0 \ (\mathrm{mod}\ 9)\) and \(\bar{p}(24n+19)\equiv 0\ (\mathrm{mod\ }27)\). In this paper, we generalize the two congruences and establish several new infinite families of congruences modulo 9 and 27 for \(\bar{p}(n)\). Furthermore, we prove some strange congruences modulo 9 and 27 for \(\bar{p}(n)\) by employing some results due to Cooper et al. For example, we prove that for \(k\ge 0\), \(\bar{p}(4^{k+1})\equiv 2^{k+3}+6(-1)^k\ (\mathrm{mod} \ 27) \) and \(\bar{p}\left( 7^{2k}\right) \equiv 2-2k\ (\mathrm{mod}\ 9)\). We also present two conjectures on congruences for \(\bar{p}(n)\).     

A characterization of nonlinear Hölder seminorm preserving bijections

For a compact metric space (X, d) and \(\alpha \in (0,1)\), let \(\mathrm{Lip}^\alpha (X)\) be the linear space of all complex-valued functions f on X satisfying

Open image in new window

and \(\mathrm{lip}^\alpha (X)\) be the subspace of \(\mathrm{Lip}^\alpha (X)\) consisting of functions f with \(\lim \frac{f(x)-f(y)}{d^\alpha (x,y)} =0\) as \(d(x,y) \rightarrow 0\). In this paper, we give a characterization of a bijective map \(T:\mathrm{lip}^\alpha (X)\longrightarrow \mathrm{lip}^\alpha (Y)\), not necessarily linear, which is an isometry with respect to the Hölder seminorm \(L(\cdot )\). It is shown that there exist \(K_0>0\), a surjective map \(\Psi : Y \longrightarrow X\) with \(d^\alpha (y,z)= K_0 \, d^\alpha (\Psi (y),\Psi (z))\) for all \(y,z\in Y\), and a function \(\Lambda : \mathrm{lip}^\alpha (X) \longrightarrow {\mathbb {C}}\) (which is linear or real-linear if T is so) such that either

$$\begin{aligned} Tf(y)= T0(y)+\overline{\tau } K_0\, f(\Psi (y))+\Lambda (f)\quad (f\in \mathrm{lip}^\alpha (X), y\in Y) \end{aligned}$$

or

$$\begin{aligned} Tf(y)= T0(y)+\overline{\tau } K_0 \,\overline{f(\Psi (y))}+ \Lambda (f)\quad (f\in \mathrm{lip}^\alpha (X), y\in Y), \end{aligned}$$

where \(\tau =e^{i\theta }\) for some \(\theta \in [0,\pi )\).

     

New optical orthogonal signature pattern codes with maximum collision parameter 2 and weight 4

Optical orthogonal signature pattern codes (OOSPCs) play an important role in a novel type of optical code-division multiple-access network for 2-dimensional image transmission. There is a one-to-one correspondence between an \((m, n, w, \lambda )\)-OOSPC and a \((\lambda +1)\)-(mn, w, 1) packing design admitting an automorphism group isomorphic to \(\mathbb {Z}_m\times \mathbb {Z}_n\). In 2010, Sawa gave a construction of an (m, n, 4, 2)-OOSPC from a one-factor of Köhler graph of \(\mathbb {Z}_m\times \mathbb {Z}_n\) which contains a unique element of order 2. In this paper, we study the existence of one-factor of Köhler graph of \(\mathbb {Z}_m\times \mathbb {Z}_n\) having three elements of order 2. It is proved that there is a one-factor in the Köhler graph of \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon }p}\times \mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon '}}\) relative to the Sylow 2-subgroup if there is an S-cyclic Steiner quadruple system of order 2p, where \(p\equiv 5\pmod {12}\) is a prime and \(1\le \epsilon ,\epsilon '\le 2\). Using this one-factor, we construct a strictly \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon }p}\times \mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon '}}\)-invariant regular \(G^*(p,2^{\epsilon +\epsilon '},4,3)\) relative to the Sylow 2-subgroup. By using the known S-cyclic SQS(2p) and a recursive construction for strictly \(\mathbb {Z}_{m}\times \mathbb {Z}_{n}\)-invariant regular G-designs, we construct more strictly \(\mathbb {Z}_{m}\times \mathbb {Z}_{n}\)-invariant 3-(mn, 4, 1) packing designs. Consequently, there is an optimal \((2^{\epsilon }m,2^{\epsilon '}n,4,2)\)-OOSPC for any \(\epsilon ,\epsilon '\in \{0,1,2\}\) with \(\epsilon +\epsilon '>0\) and an optimal (6m, 6n, 4, 2)-OOSPC where m, n are odd integers whose all prime divisors from the set \(\{p\equiv 5\pmod {12}:p\) is a prime, \(p<\)1,500,000}.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Saturations of Welter’s game and the irreducible representations of symmetric groups

We establish a relation between the Sprague–Grundy function Open image in new window of p-saturations of Welter’s game and the degrees of the ordinary irreducible representations of symmetric groups. In these games, a position can be regarded as a partition \(\lambda \). Let \(\rho ^\lambda \) be the irreducible representation of the symmetric group \(\mathrm{Sym}(\left| \lambda \right| )\) corresponding to \(\lambda \). For every prime p, we show the following results: (1) \(\mathrm{sg}(\lambda ) \le \left| \lambda \right| \) with equality if and only if the degree of \(\rho ^\lambda \) is prime to p; (2) the restriction of \(\rho ^\lambda \) to \(\mathrm{Sym}(\mathrm{sg}(\lambda ))\) has an irreducible component with degree prime to p. Further, for every integer p greater than 1, we obtain an explicit formula for \(\mathrm{sg}(\lambda )\).     

Existence and Uniqueness of Renormalized Solutions to Nonlinear Parabolic Equations with Lower Order Term and Diffuse Measure Data

Here we give an existence and uniqueness result of a renormalized solution for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations \(\displaystyle {\partial b(u) \over \partial t} - \mathrm{div}(a(x,t,\nabla u))+\mathrm{div}(\Phi (x,t, u))=\mu \), where the right side is a measure data, b is a strictly increasing \(C^1\)-function, \(- \mathrm{div}(a(x,t,\nabla u))\) is a Leray–Lions type operator with growth \(|\nabla u|^{p-1}\) in \(\nabla u\) and \(\Phi (x,t, u)\) is a nonlinear lower order term.     

Congruences modulo 11 for broken 5-diamond partitions

The notion of broken k-diamond partitions was introduced by Andrews and Paule in 2007. For a fixed positive integer k, let \(\Delta _k(n)\) denote the number of broken k-diamond partitions of n. Recently, Paule and Radu conjectured two relations on \(\Delta _5(n)\) which were proved by Xiong and Jameson, respectively. In this paper, employing these relations, we prove that, for any prime p with \(p\equiv 1\ (\mathrm{mod}\ 4)\), there exists an integer \(\lambda (p)\in \{2,\ 3,\ 5,\ 6,\ 11\}\) such that, for \(n, \alpha \ge 0\), if \(p\not \mid (2n+1)\), then

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta _5\left( 11p^{\lambda (p)(\alpha +1)-1} n+\frac{11p^{\lambda (p)(\alpha +1)-1}+1}{2}\right) \equiv 0\ (\mathrm{mod}\ 11). \end{aligned}$$

Moreover, some non-standard congruences modulo 11 for \(\Delta _5(n)\) are deduced. For example, we prove that, for \(\alpha \ge 0\), \(\Delta _5\left( \frac{11\times 5^{5\alpha }+1}{2}\right) \equiv 7\ (\mathrm{mod}\ 11)\).

     

Eichler’s commutation relation and some other invariant subspaces of Hecke operators

Let k be an odd positive integer, L a lattice on a regular positive definite k-dimensional quadratic space over \(\mathbb {Q}\), \(N_L\) the level of L, and \(\mathscr {M}(L)\)  be the linear space of \(\theta \)-series attached to the distinct classes in the genus of L. We prove that, for an odd prime \(p|N_L\), if \(L_p=L_{p,1}\,\bot \, L_{p,2}\), where \(L_{p,1}\) is unimodular, \(L_{p,2}\) is (p)-modular, and \(\mathbb {Q}_pL_{p,2}\) is anisotropic, then \(\mathscr {M}(L;p):=\) \(\mathscr {M}(L)\) \(+T_{p^2}.\) \(\mathscr {M}(L)\)  is stable under the Hecke operator \(T_{p^2}\). If \(L_2\) is isometric to \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle \varepsilon \rangle \) or \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle 2\varepsilon \rangle \) or \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}1\\ 1&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle \varepsilon \rangle \) with \(\varepsilon \in \mathbb {Z}_2^{\times }\) and \(\kappa :=\frac{k-1}{2}\), then \(\mathscr {M}(L;2):=T_{2^2}.\mathscr {M}(L)+T_{2^2}^2.\,\mathscr {M}(L)\) is stable under the Hecke operator \(T_{2^2}\). Furthermore, we determine some invariant subspaces of the cusp forms for the Hecke operators.     

Heinz mean curvature estimates in warped product spaces $$M\times _{e^{\psi }}N$$

If a graph submanifold (x, f(x)) of a Riemannian warped product space \((M^m\times _{e^{\psi }}N^n,\tilde{g}=g+ e^{2\psi }h)\) is immersed with parallel mean curvature H, then we obtain a Heinz-type estimation of the mean curvature. Namely, on each compact domain D of M, \(m\Vert H\Vert \le \frac{A_{\psi }(\partial D)}{V_{\psi }(D)}\) holds, where \(A_{\psi }(\partial D)\) and \(V_{\psi }(D)\) are the \({\psi }\)-weighted area and volume, respectively. In particular, \(H=0\) if (M, g) has zero-weighted Cheeger constant, a concept recently introduced by Impera et al. (Height estimates for killing graphs. arXiv:1612.01257, 2016). This generalizes the known cases \(n=1\) or \(\psi =0\). We also conclude minimality using a closed calibration, assuming \((M,g_*)\) is complete where \(g_*=g+e^{2\psi }f^*h\), and for some constants \(\alpha \ge \delta \ge 0\), \(C_1>0\) and \(\beta \in [0,1)\), \(\Vert \nabla ^*\psi \Vert ^2_{g_*}\le \delta \), \(\mathrm {Ricci}_{\psi ,g_*}\ge \alpha \), and \({\mathrm{det}}_g(g_*)\le C_1 r^{2\beta }\) holds when \(r\rightarrow +\infty \), where r(x) is the distance function on \((M,g_*)\) from some fixed point. Both results rely on expressing the squared norm of the mean curvature as a weighted divergence of a suitable vector field.     

The Riesz transform and quantitative rectifiability for general Radon measures

In this paper we show that if \(\mu \) is a Borel measure in \({{\mathbb {R}}}^{n+1}\) with growth of order n, such that the n-dimensional Riesz transform \({{\mathcal {R}}}_\mu \) is bounded in \(L^2(\mu )\), and \(B\subset {{\mathbb {R}}}^{n+1}\) is a ball with \(\mu (B)\approx r(B)^n\) such that:

1. (a)
   there is some n-plane L passing through the center of B such that for some \(\delta >0\) small enough, it holds

   $$\begin{aligned}\int _B \frac{\mathrm{dist}(x,L)}{r(B)}\,d\mu (x)\le \delta \,\mu (B),\end{aligned}$$
    
2. (b)
   for some constant \({\varepsilon }>0\) small enough,

   $$\begin{aligned}\int _{B} |{{\mathcal {R}}}_\mu 1(x) - m_{\mu ,B}({{\mathcal {R}}}_\mu 1)|^2\,d\mu (x) \le {\varepsilon }\,\mu (B),\end{aligned}$$

   where \(m_{\mu ,B}({{\mathcal {R}}}_\mu 1)\) stands for the mean of \({{\mathcal {R}}}_\mu 1\) on B with respect to \(\mu \),
    

then there exists a uniformly n-rectifiable set \(\Gamma \), with \(\mu (\Gamma \cap B)\gtrsim \mu (B)\), and such that \(\mu |_\Gamma \) is absolutely continuous with respect to \({{\mathcal {H}}}^n|_\Gamma \). This result is an essential tool to solve an old question on a two phase problem for harmonic measure in subsequent papers by Azzam, Mourgoglou, Tolsa, and Volberg.
