A local extension theorem for proper holomorphic mappings in ℂ<Superscript>2</Superscript>

Let ƒ: D → D′ be a proper holomorphic mapping between bounded domains D, D′ in ℂ².Let M, M′ be open pieces on δD, δD′, respectively that are smooth, real analytic and of finite type. Suppose that the cluster set of M under ƒ is contained in M′. It is shown that ƒ extends holomorphically across M. This can be viewed as a local version of the Diederich-Pinchuk extension result for proper mappings in ℂ².     

Weak normality properties and factorizations of normality

Summary Variants of δ-normality and δ-normal separation called weakly (functionally) δ-normal spaces are introduced and studied. This yields new factorizations of normality and δ-normality. A Urysohn type lemma and a Tietze type extension theorem for (weakly) functionally δ-normal spaces are obtained.     

Pointwise convergence of Fourier-Jacobi series

The purpose of this paper is to study the pointwise and almost everywhere convergence of the Cesàro means (C,δ) of Fourier-Jacobi expansions, the main term of the Lebesgue constant of the (C,δ) means for −1<δ≤α+1/2 is obtained. With the aid of the generalized translation in terms of Jacobi polynomials, pointwise convergence theorems of the (C,δ) means for δ>α+1/2 and equiconvergence theorems for −1<δ≤α+1/2 are proved. The analogues of the Lebesgue, Salem and Young theorems of the Cesàro means at the critical index δ=α+1/2 are established. Supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Beijing     

On fuzzy semi δ-<Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis> continuity in fuzzy δ-<Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis> topological space

New concepts of fuzzy semi δ-V and fuzzy semi δ-Λ sets were introduced in our work “On fuzzy semi δ-Λ sets and fuzzy semi δ-V sets V-6,” J. Trip. Math. Soc., 6, 81–88 (2004). It was shown that the family of all fuzzy semi δ-V sets forms a fuzzy supra topological space on X denoted by (X, FS ^δV ). The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of fuzzy semi δ-V continuity in a fuzzy δ-V topological space. Finally, some properties, preservation theorems, etc., are studied.

On the Construction of Affine Extractors

In this paper, we address the problem of explicit construction of so-called ‘affine extractors’ of δ-entropy ratio, when δ ≤ 1/2 (for δ > 1/2, there is a well-known and easy example based on the Hadamard function). We first give examples for δ slightly below 1/2 and produce then a construction for arbitrary given δ > 0. All these examples are again of a simple algebraic nature. The mathematics involved includes recent developments in the sum-product theory in finite fields and certain new bounds on multilinear exponential sums. Supported in part by NSF grant DMS 0322370.

Bounded pseudo-differential operators

This lecture gives an inside look into the proof of the continuity of pseudo-differential operators of orderm and typep, δ₁, δ₂ for 0≦p≦δ₁=1, 0≦p≦δ₂<1, andm/n≦p≦(δ₁+δ₂)/2. Applications are mentioned.     

Decompositions of continuity and complete continuity

We introduce the notions of δ-t-sets, δ_β-t-sets, δ-B-continuity and δ_β -B-continuity and obtain decompositions of continuity and complete continuity.     

The centralizer of an element in a Lie algebra of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>

In this paper, we investigate the Lie algebra L(A,α,δ) of type L and obtain the respective sufficient conditions for L(A,α,δ δ to be semisimple, and for Z(ω) = Fω as well, where 0 ≠ ω Є L(A, α, δ, δ) and Z(ω) is the centralizer of ω.     

Homogenization of solutions to problems for the Laplace operator in unbounded domains with many concentrated masses on the boundary

A problem for the Laplace operator is considered in a three-dimensional unbounded domain with singular density. The density, depending on a small positive parameter ε, is equal to 1 outside small inclusions, and is equal to (δε)^−m in these inclusions. These domains, concentrated masses of diameter εδ, are located along the plane part of the boundary at the distance of order O(δ), where δ = δ(ε). The Dirichlet condition is imposed on the boundary parts tangent to the concentrated masses. We construct the limit (averaged) operator and study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the original problem with m < 1. __________ Translated from Problemy Matematicheskogo Analiza, No. 33, 2006, pp. 103–111.     

Sopra le trasformazioni in sè della varietà di Jacobi relativa ad una curva di genere effettivo diverso dal genere virtuale,in ispecie nel caso di genere effettivo nullo

Sunto. Si precisa la natura del problema di determinare le trasformazioni in sè della varietà quasi abeliana diJacobi, relativa ad una curva di genere virtualeπ, ottenuta da una curva di genere effettivop considerando su questaδ ₁ coppie neutre a punti distinti eδ ₂ coppie neutre a punti coincidenti, in modo che siaπ=p+δ ₁+δ₂. Come nel coso abeliano (δ ₁=δ₂=0), tale problema ha un aspetto aritmetico, che si collega alla considerazione di relazioni, che generalizzano quelle note diHurwitz. Nel casop=0 si trovano tutte le trasformazioni in sè dellaV _π diJacobi, mostrando che queste costituiscono un gruppo formato sempre da infinite schiere ∞^π (tranne nel casoπ=δ ₁=1, δ₂=0), dipendenti da parametri in parte variabili in modo continuo ed in parte in modo discreto. Le trasformazioni sono tutte birazionali seδ ₁=0 oδ ₂=0, mentre seδ ₁ ≠ 0 eδ ₂ ≠ 0 si presentano anche trasformazioni trascendenti.     

(<Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis>′)-continuity on generalized topological spaces

We introduce the notion of (δ,δ′)-continuous functions on generalized topological spaces and investigate characterizations for such functions. We study the relationship between (δ,δ′)-continuity and several types of continuity on generalized topological spaces.     

Sharp Upper Bounds on the Minimum Number of Components of 2-factors in Claw-free Graphs

Let G be a claw-free graph with order n and minimum degree δ. We improve results of Faudree et al. and Gould & Jacobson, and solve two open problems by proving the following two results. If δ = 4, then G has a 2-factor with at most (5n − 14)/18 components, unless G belongs to a finite class of exceptional graphs. If δ ≥ 5, then G has a 2-factor with at most (n − 3)/(δ − 1) components, unless G is a complete graph. These bounds are best possible in the sense that we cannot replace 5/18 by a smaller quotient and we cannot replace δ − 1 by δ, respectively.     

Indestructibility and measurable cardinals with few and many measures

If κ < λ are such that κ is indestructibly supercompact and λ is measurable, then we show that both A = {δ < κ | δ is a measurable cardinal which is not a limit of measurable cardinals and δ carries the maximal number of normal measures} and B = {δ < κ | δ is a measurable cardinal which is not a limit of measurable cardinals and δ carries fewer than the maximal number of normal measures} are unbounded in κ. The two aforementioned phenomena, however, need not occur in a universe with an indestructibly supercompact cardinal and sufficiently few large cardinals. In particular, we show how to construct a model with an indestructibly supercompact cardinal κ in which if δ < κ is a measurable cardinal which is not a limit of measurable cardinals, then δ must carry fewer than the maximal number of normal measures. We also, however, show how to construct a model with an indestructibly supercompact cardinal κ in which if δ < κ is a measurable cardinal which is not a limit of measurable cardinals, then δ must carry the maximal number of normal measures. If we weaken the requirements on indestructibility, then this last result can be improved to obtain a model with an indestructibly supercompact cardinal κ in which every measurable cardinal δ < κ carries the maximal number of normal measures.

Curvature and absorption

The problem of finding a distribution of the sources of particles (or radiation) in a bounded domain D by the outputting flow through the boundary δD is considered. It is assumed that the domain D is filled with a medium whose absorption, scattering diagram, and Riemannian metric are known. Under certain assumptions on these characteristics of the medium, the uniqueness of a solution and its stability are proved.

Optimal Topological Simplification of Discrete Functions on Surfaces

Given a function f on a surface and a tolerance δ>0, we construct a function f _δ subject to ‖f _δ −f‖_∞≤δ such that f _δ has a minimum number of critical points. Our construction relies on a connection between discrete Morse theory and persistent homology and completely removes homological noise with persistence ≤2δ from the input function f. The number of critical points of the resulting simplified function f _δ achieves the lower bound dictated by the stability theorem of persistent homology. We show that the simplified function can be computed in linear time after persistence pairs have been computed.     

A note on δ-I-sets

We characterize δ-I-sets, discuss the relation between δ-sets, δ-I-sets and I _δ-sets and generalize some of the results.     

Generalizations of coatomic modules

For a ring R and a right R-module M, a submodule N of M is said to be δ-small in M if, whenever N+X=M with M/X singular, we have X=M. Let ℘ be the class of all singular simple modules. Then δ(M)=Σ{ L≤ M| L is a δ-small submodule of M} = Re _jm(℘)=∩{ N⊂ M: M/N∈℘. We call M δ-coatomic module whenever N≤ M and M/N=δ(M/N) then M/N=0. And R is called right (left) δ-coatomic ring if the right (left) R-module R _R(_RR) is δ-coatomic. In this note, we study δ-coatomic modules and ring. We prove M=⊕ _i=1 ⁿ M_i is δ-coatomic if and only if each M _i (i=1,…, n) is δ-coatomic.     

Not collapsing cardinals ≤<Emphasis Type="Italic">κ</Emphasis> in (<<Emphasis Type="Italic">κ</Emphasis>)-support iterations

We deal with the problem of preserving various versions of completeness in (<κ)-support iterations of forcing notions, generalizing the case “S-complete proper is preserved by CS iterations for a stationary costationaryS⊆ω ₁”. We give applications to Uniformization and the Whitehead problem. In particular, for a strongly inaccessible cardinalκ and a stationary setS⊆κ with fat complement we can have uniformization for every (A _δ :δ ∈S′),A _δ ⊆δ = supA _δ , cf (δ) = otp(A _δ ) and a stationary non-reflecting setS′⊆S (see B.8.2).

On the smoothness of conjugation of circle diffeomorphisms with rigid rotations

We prove that any C^3+β-smooth diffeomorphism preserving the orientation of a circle with rotation number from the Diophantine class D_δ, 0 < β < δ < 1, is C^2+β−δ-smoothly conjugate to a rigid rotation of the circle by a certain angle. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 60, No. 2, pp. 268–282, February, 2008.
