Recently I. Castro and F. Urbano introduced the
Lagrangian catenoid.
Topologically, it is $\mathbb R\times S^{n-1}$ and its induced metric is
conformally flat,
but not cylindrical. Their result is that if a Lagrangian minimal
submanifold in
${\mathbb C}^n$ is foliated by round $(n-1)$-spheres, it is congruent to
a Lagrangian
catenoid. Here we study the question of conformally flat, minimal, Lagrangian
submanifolds in
${\mathbb C}^n$. The general problem is formidable, but we first show that such a
submanifold resembles a Lagrangian catenoid in that its Schouten tensor has an
eigenvalue of multiplicity one. Then, restricting to the case of at most two
eigenvalues, we show that the submanifold is either flat and totally
geodesic or is
homothetic to (a piece of) the Lagrangian catenoid.
We obtain Hauptmoduls of genus zero congruence
subgroups of the type $\Gamma_0^+(p):=\linebreak\Gamma_0(p)+w_p$, where $p$ is
a prime and $w_p$ is the Atkin--Lehner involution. We then use the
Hauptmoduls, along with modular functions on $\Gamma_1(p)$
to construct families of cyclic extensions of quadratic number
fields. Further examples of cyclic extension of bi-quadratic and
tri-quadratic number fields are also given.
In this paper we investigate the existence of positive solutions
for nonlinear elliptic problems driven by the $p$-Laplacian with a
nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequality). Under asymptotic
conditions that make the Euler functional indefinite and
incorporate in our framework the asymptotically linear problems,
using a variational approach based on nonsmooth critical point
theory, we obtain positive smooth solutions. Our analysis also
leads naturally to multiplicity results.
Let $M$ be a symplectic $4$-dimensional manifold equipped with a
Hamiltonian circle action with isolated fixed points. We describe a
method for computing its integral equivariant cohomology in terms of
fixed point data. We give some examples of these computations.
We study two sufficient conditions that imply global injectivity
for a $C^1$ map $X\colon \R^2\to \R^2$ such that its Jacobian at any
point of $\R^2$ is not zero. One is based on the notion of
half-Reeb component and the other on the Palais--Smale condition.
We improve the first condition using the notion of inseparable
leaves. We provide a new proof of the sufficiency of the second
condition. We prove that both conditions are not equivalent, more
precisely we show that the Palais--Smale condition implies the
nonexistence of inseparable leaves, but the converse is not true.
Finally, we show that the Palais--Smale condition it is not a
necessary condition for the global injectivity of the map $X$.
We extend the notion of linking number of an
ordinary link of two components to that of a singular link
with transverse intersections in which case the linking
number is a half-integer. We then apply it to simplify
the construction of the Seifert matrix, and therefore
the Alexander polynomial, in a natural way.
Beginning with a seminal paper of R\'enyi, expansions in noninteger real bases have been widely
studied in the last
forty years. They turned out to be relevant in
various domains of mathematics, such as the theory of finite
automata, number
theory, fractals or dynamical systems.
Several results were extended by Dar\'oczy and K\'atai
for expansions
in complex bases. We introduce an adaptation of the so-called greedy
algorithm to the complex case, and we
generalize one of their main theorems.
We show that, for most of the elliptic curves $\E$ over a prime finite
field
$\F_p$ of $p$ elements, the discriminant $D(\E)$ of the quadratic number
field containing the endomorphism ring of $\E$ over $\F_p$
is sufficiently large.
We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct
quadratic number fields generated by the endomorphism rings
of all elliptic curves over $\F_p$.
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq
1$. Let $\xi\in J^1(X)$ be a line bundle on $X$ of degree $1$. Let
$W=\Ext^1(\xi^n,\xi^{-1})$ be the space of extensions of $\xi^n$
by $\xi^{-1}$. There is a rational map
$D_{\xi}\colon G(n,W)\rightarrow SU_{X}(n+1)$,
where $G(n,W)$ is the Grassmannian variety of $n$-linear subspaces
of $W$ and $\SU_{X}(n+1)$ is the moduli space of rank $n+1$ semi-stable
vector
bundles on $X$ with trivial determinant. We prove that if $n=2$,
then $D_{\xi}$ is
everywhere defined and is injective.
In the present paper, we introduce a modification of the Meyer-K\"{o}nig and
Zeller (MKZ) operators which preserve the test functions $f_{0}(x)=1$ and
$f_{2}(x)=x^{2}$, and we show that this modification provides a better estimation
than the classical MKZ operators on the interval $[\frac{1}{2},1)$ with
respect to the modulus of continuity and the Lipschitz class functionals.
Furthermore, we present the $r-$th order generalization of our operators and
study their approximation properties.
Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be $p$-adic groups. We describe a decomposition of
${\rm Ext}$-groups in the category of smooth representations of
$G_1 \times G_2$ in terms of ${\rm Ext}$-groups for $G_1$ and $G_2$.
We comment on ${\rm Ext}^1_G(\pi,\pi)$ for a supercuspidal
representation
$\pi$ of a $p$-adic group $G$. We also consider an example of
identifying
the class, in a suitable ${\rm Ext}^1$, of a Jacquet module of certain
representations of $p$-adic ${\rm GL}_{2n}$.
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of vector fields on a manifold or a
subcartesian space spanning a distribution $D$. We prove that an orbit $O$
of $\mathcal{F}$ is an integral manifold of $D$ if $D$ is involutive on $O$
and it has constant rank on $O$. This result implies Frobenius' theorem, and
its various generalizations, on manifolds as well as on subcartesian spaces.
We prove that a separable, nuclear, purely infinite, simple
$C^*$-algebra satisfying the universal coefficient theorem
is weakly semiprojective if and only if
its $K$-groups are direct sums of cyclic groups.
This paper presents some
results on the simple exceptional Jordan algebra over an algebraically
closed field $\Phi$ of characteristic not $2$. Namely an example of
simple decomposition of $H(O_3)$ into the sum of two subalgebras
of the type $H(Q_3)$ is produced, and it is shown that this
decomposition is the only one possible in terms of simple
subalgebras.
Let $M$ be an $m$ dimensional submanifold in the Euclidean space
${\mathbf R}^n$ and $H$ be the mean curvature of $M$. We obtain
some low geometric estimates of the total square mean curvature
$\int_M H^2 d\sigma$. The low bounds are geometric invariants
involving the volume of $M$, the total scalar curvature of $M$,
the Euler characteristic and the circumscribed ball of $M$.
