Nash multiplicities and isolated points of maximum multiplicity

Let X be an algebraic variety defined over a field of characteristic zero, and let $\xi \in \underset{\_}{\mathrm{Max}}\mathrm{mult}(X)$ be a point in the closed subset of maximum multiplicity of X. We provide a criterion, given in terms of arcs, to determine whether ξ is isolated in $\underset{\_}{\mathrm{Max}}\mathrm{mult}(X)$. More precisely, we use invariants of arcs derived from the Nash multiplicity sequence to characterize when ξ is an isolated point in $\underset{\_}{\mathrm{Max}}\mathrm{mult}(X)$.     

Commuting traces of multilinear maps on invertible elements

Let R be a unital simple ring. Under some technical restrictions, we characterize m-linear mappings G:R^m→R satisfying [G(u,…,u),u]?=?0 for all unit u∈R.     

Simple Equations Method (SEsM): Algorithm,Connection with Hirota Method,Inverse Scattering Transform Method,and Several Other Methods

The goal of this article is to discuss the Simple Equations Method (SEsM) for obtaining exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations and to show that several well-known methods for obtaining exact solutions of such equations are connected to SEsM. In more detail, we show that the Hirota method is connected to a particular case of SEsM for a specific form of the function from Step 2 of SEsM and for simple equations of the kinds of differential equations for exponential functions. We illustrate this particular case of SEsM by obtaining the three- soliton solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, two-soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and the soliton solution of the Ishimori equation for the spin dynamics of ferromagnetic materials. Then we show that a particular case of SEsM can be used in order to reproduce the methodology of the inverse scattering transform method for the case of the Burgers equation and Korteweg-de Vries equation. This particular case is connected to use of a specific case of Step 2 of SEsM. This step is connected to: (i) representation of the solution of the solved nonlinear partial differential equation as expansion as power series containing powers of a “small” parameter ϵ; (ii) solving the differential equations arising from this representation by means of Fourier series, and (iii) transition from the obtained solution for small values of ϵ to solution for arbitrary finite values of ϵ. Finally, we show that the much-used homogeneous balance method, extended homogeneous balance method, auxiliary equation method, Jacobi elliptic function expansion method, F-expansion method, modified simple equation method, trial function method and first integral method are connected to particular cases of SEsM.
