Some remarks on the geodetic number of a graph

A set of vertices D of a graph G is geodetic if every vertex of G lies on a shortest path between two not necessarily distinct vertices in D. The geodetic number of G is the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set of G.We prove that it is NP-complete to decide for a given chordal or chordal bipartite graph G and a given integer k whether G has a geodetic set of cardinality at most k. Furthermore, we prove an upper bound on the geodetic number of graphs without short cycles and study the geodetic number of cographs, split graphs, and unit interval graphs.     

Modular forms and effective Diophantine approximation

After the work of G. Frey, it is known that an appropriate bound for the Faltings height of elliptic curves in terms of the conductor (Frey?s height conjecture) would give a version of the ABC conjecture. In this paper we prove a partial result towards Frey?s height conjecture which applies to all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, not only Frey curves. Our bound is completely effective and the technique is based in the theory of modular forms. As a consequence, we prove effective explicit bounds towards the ABC conjecture of similar strength to what can be obtained by linear forms in logarithms, without using the latter technique. The main application is a new effective proof of the finiteness of solutions to the S-unit equation (that is, S-integral points of ${\mathbb{P}}^1?\{0,1,\infty \}$), with a completely explicit and effective bound, without using any variant of Baker?s theory or the Thue–Bombieri method.     

Central Units,Class Sums and Characters of the Symmetric Group

In the search for central units of a group algebra, we look at the class sums of the group algebra of the symmetric group S _n in characteristic zero, and we show that they are units in very special instances.     

MORPHIC MODULES

A module M is called morphic if M/M α ? ker(α) for all endomorphisms α in end(M), and a ring R is called a left morphic ring if _RR is a morphic module. We consider the open question when the matrix ring M_n(R) is left morphic by relating it to when Rⁿ is morphic as a left R-module. More generally, we investigate when M being morphic implies that end(M) is left morphic, and conversely. Finally, we relate the morphic condition to internal cancellation in the module.     

Free Groups and Subgroups of Finite Index in the Unit Group of an Integral Group Ring

In this article we construct free groups and subgroups of finite index in the unit group of the integral group ring of a finite non-Abelian group G for which every nonlinear irreducible complex representation is of degree 2 and with commutator subgroup G′ a central elementary Abelian 2-group.     

Hypercentral Unit Groups and the Hyperbolicity of a Modular Group Algebra

We classify groups G such that the unit group 𝒰 ₁(? G) is hypercentral. In the second part, we classify groups G whose modular group algebra has hyperbolic unit groups 𝒰 ₁(KG).     

Ultra-Small-Bandgap Conjugated Polymers Based on an N−B←N Unit

Since the breakthrough of conductive polymers in 1977, scientists have made great efforts to create small band gap (E_g) conjugated polymers. Two general strategies to design small E_g conjugated polymers are quinoid structure and donor-acceptor structure. Ultrasmall E_g conjugated polymers (E_g<1.0 eV) always suffer from poor air stability because of high-lying HOMO energy levels. In this work, we report a new strategy to design ultrasmall E_g conjugated polymers by N−B←N unit, i.e. balanced resonant boron-nitrogen covalent bond (B−N) and boron-nitrogen coordination bond (B←N). The resulting polymer exhibits an E_g of 0.82 eV and an onset absorption wavelength of >1500 nm. Moreover, the polymer exhibits excellent air stability because of its low-lying LUMO/HOMO energy levels. An unprecedented property of this polymer is the selective light absorption in the infrared range (800–1500 nm) and high transparency in the visible range (400–780 nm). Using this property, for the first time, we demonstrate the application of conjugated polymers as transparent thermal-shielding coating layer on glass, which reduces indoor solar irradiation through window and consequently reduces power consumption for cooling of buildings and cars in summer.
