Weight reduction for mod ? Bianchi modular forms

Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with class number one and ? be a rational prime that splits in K. We prove that mod ?, a system of Hecke eigenvalues occurring in the first cohomology group of some congruence subgroup Γ of SL₂(OK) can be realized, up to twist, in the first cohomology with trivial coefficients after increasing the level of Γ by (?).     

最高阶元素个数为40的非可解群的分类

设$\varphi$为群${\rm Aut}(N)$的同态,记$H_\varphi\times N$为群$N$借助于群$H$的半直积.设$G$为有限不可解群,本文证明: 若$G$中最高阶元素个数为40, 则$G$同构于下列群之一:(1)~$Z_{4\varphi}\times A_5$,\,${\rm ker}\varphi=Z_2$; (2)~$D_{8\varphi}\times A_5,\,{\rm ker}\varphi=Z_2\times Z_2$; (3)~$G/N=S_5$, $N=Z(G)=Z_2$; (4)~$G/N=S_5$, $N=Z_2\times Z_2,\,N\cap Z(G)=Z_2$.     

Stabilizing the monodromy of an open book decomposition

We prove that any mapping class on a compact oriented surface with non-empty boundary can be made pseudo-Anosov and right-veering after a sequence of positive stabilizations.      

On subnormal subgroups of linear groups

We describe the subnormal subgroups of 2-dimensional linear groups over local and full rings in which 2 is invertible, as well as the subnormal subgroups of symplectic groups over local rings in which 2 is invertible.     

A function space model approach to the rational evaluation subgroups

Let f : U → X be a map from a connected nilpotent space U to a connected rational space X. The evaluation subgroup G _*(U, X; f), which is a generalization of the Gottlieb group of X, is investigated. The key device for the study is an explicit Sullivan model for the connected component containing f of the function space of maps from U to X, which is derived from the general theory of such a model due to Brown and Szczarba (Trans Am Math Soc 349, 4931–4951, 1997). In particular, we show that non Gottlieb elements are detected by analyzing a Sullivan model for the map f and by looking at non-triviality of higher order Whitehead products in the homotopy group of X. The Gottlieb triviality of a fibration in the sense of Lupton and Smith (The evaluation subgroup of a fibre inclusion, 2006) is also discussed from the function space model point of view. Moreover, we proceed to consideration of the evaluation subgroup of the fundamental group of a nilpotent space. In consequence, the first Gottlieb group of the total space of each S ¹-bundle over the n-dimensional torus is determined explicitly in the non-rational case.      

On the Analysis of the Virtual Waiting Time in Open Queueing Networks

The model of an open queueing network in heavy traffic has been developed. These models are mathematical models of computer networks in heavy traffic. A limit theorem has been presented for the virtual waiting time of a customer in heavy traffic in open queueing networks. Finally, we present an application of the theorem—a reliability model from computer network practice.     

Equidistribution of negative statistics and quotients of Coxeter groups of type B and D

We generalize some identities and q-identities previously known for the symmetric group to Coxeter groups of type B and D. The extended results include theorems of Foata and Schützenberger, Gessel, and Roselle on various distributions of statistics, like inversion number, major index, and descent number. In order to show our results we provide explicit characterizations of the systems of minimal coset representatives of Coxeter groups of type B and D.     

Heat kernel analysis on infinite-dimensional Heisenberg groups

We introduce a class of non-commutative Heisenberg-like infinite-dimensional Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The Ricci curvature tensor for these groups is computed and shown to be bounded. Brownian motion and the corresponding heat kernel measures, {νt}_t>0, are also studied. We show that these heat kernel measures admit: (1) Gaussian like upper bounds, (2) Cameron-Martin type quasi-invariance results, (3) good Lp-bounds on the corresponding Radon-Nikodym derivatives, (4) integration by parts formulas, and (5) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The last three results heavily rely on the boundedness of the Ricci tensor.     

Divisible rigid groups

A soluble group G is rigid if it contains a normal series of the form G = G₁ > G₂ > … > G_p > G_p+1 = 1, whose quotients G_i/G_i+1 are Abelian and are torsion-free as right ℤ[G/G_i]-modules. The concept of a rigid group appeared in studying algebraic geometry over groups that are close to free soluble. In the class of all rigid groups, we distinguish divisible groups the elements of whose quotients G_i/G_i+1 are divisible by any elements of respective groups rings Z[G/G_i]. It is reasonable to suppose that algebraic geometry over divisible rigid groups is rather well structured. Abstract properties of such groups are investigated. It is proved that in every divisible rigid group H that contains G as a subgroup, there is a minimal divisible subgroup including G, which we call a divisible closure of G in H. Among divisible closures of G are divisible completions of G that are distinguished by some natural condition. It is shown that a divisible completion is defined uniquely up to G-isomorphism.

On the Number of Facets of Three-Dimensional Dirichlet Stereohedra III: Full Cubic Groups

We are interested in the maximum possible number of facets that Dirichlet stereohedra for three-dimensional crystallographic groups can have. In two previous papers, D. Bochiş and the second author studied the problem for noncubic groups. This paper deals with “full” cubic groups, while “quarter” cubic groups are left for a subsequent paper. Here, “full” and “quarter” refers to the recent classification of three-dimensional crystallographic groups by Conway, Delgado-Friedrichs, Huson and Thurston. This paper’s main result is that Dirichlet stereohedra for any of the 27 full groups cannot have more than 25 facets. We also find stereohedra with 17 facets for one of these groups.
