关于指数丢番图方程$(a^m-1)(b^n-1)=x^2$的注记

Let a and b be fixed positive integers.In this paper,using some elementary methods,we study the diophantine equation（a~m-1）（b~n-1）= x~2.For example,we prove that if a ≡ 2（mod 6）,b ≡ 3（mod 12）,then（a~n-1）（b~m-1）= x~2 has no solutions in positive integers n,m and x.     

The Closed Subsemigroups of a Clifford Semigroup

In this paper we study the closed subsemigroups of a Clifford semigroup. It is shown that {∪α∈Y′ Gα | Y′∈ P(Y) } is the set of all closed subsemigroups of a Clifford semigroup S = [Y; Gα; ?α, β], where Y′denotes the subsemilattice of Y generated by Y′. In particular, G is the only closed subsemigroup of itself for a group G and each one of subsemilattices of a semilattice is closed. Also, it is shown that the semiring P(S) is isomorphic to the semiring P(Y) for a Clifford semigroup S = [Y; Gα; ?α, β].

Characterizations of Clifford semigroup digraphs

This paper characterizes directed graphs which are Cayley graphs of strong semilattices of groups and, in particular, strong chains of groups, i.e. of completely regular semigroups which are also called Clifford semigroups.

Perpendicular Dissections of Space

For each pair (Q _i ,Q _j ) of reference points and each real number r there is a unique hyperplane h \perp Q _i Q _j such that d(P,Q _i ) ² - d(P,Q _j ) ² = r for points P in h . Take n reference points in d -space and for each pair (Q _i ,Q _j ) a finite set of real numbers. The corresponding perpendiculars form an arrangement of hyperplanes. We explore the structure of the semilattice of intersections of the hyperplanes for generic reference points. The main theorem is that there is a real, additive gain graph (this is a graph with an additive real number associated invertibly to each edge) whose set of balanced flats has the same structure as the intersection semilattice. We examine the requirements for genericity, which are related to behavior at infinity but remain mysterious; also, variations in the construction rules for perpendiculars. We investigate several particular arrangements with a view to finding the exact numbers of faces of each dimension. The prototype, the arrangement of all perpendicular bisectors, was studied by Good and Tideman, motivated by a geometric voting theory. Most of our particular examples are suggested by extensions of that theory in which voters exercise finer discrimination. Throughout, we propose many research problems.

Arithmetic properties of overpartition triples

Let p_3(n) be the number of overpartition triples of n. By elementary series manipulations,we establish some congruences for p_3(n) modulo small powers of 2, such as p_3(16 n + 14) ≡ 0(mod 32), p_3(8 n + 7) ≡ 0(mod 64).We also find many arithmetic properties for p_3(n) modulo 7, 9 and 11, involving the following infinite families of Ramanujan-type congruences: for any integers α≥ 1 and n ≥ 0, we have p_3 (3~(2α+1)(3n + 2))≡ 0(mod 9 · 2~4), p_3(4~(α-1)(56 n + 49)) ≡ 0(mod 7),p_3 (7~(2α+1)(7 n + 3))≡ p_3 (7~(2α+1)(7 n + 5))≡ p_3 (7~(2α+1)(7 n + 6))≡ 0(mod 7),and for r ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6},p_3(11 · 7~(4α-1)(7 n + r)≡ 0(mod 11).     

Semilattice transversals of regular bands I

Every regular band can be isomorphically embedded into a regular band which has a semilattice transversal. The latter constitute the variety of regular split bands, whose subvariety lattice is isomorphic to the lattice of regular band varieties.
