 Fixed point theorems for maps with local and pointwise contraction properties The paper constitutes a comprehensive study of ten classes of self-maps on metric spaces $\langle X,d\rangle$ with the local and pointwise (a.k.a. local radial) contraction properties. Each of those classes appeared previously in the literature in the context of fixed point theorems. We begin with presenting an overview of these fixed point results, including concise self contained sketches of their proofs. Then, we proceed with a discussion of the relations among the ten classes of self-maps with domains $\langle X,d\rangle$ having various topological properties which often appear in the theory of fixed point theorems: completeness, compactness, (path) connectedness, rectifiable path connectedness, and $d$-convexity. The bulk of the results presented in this part consists of examples of maps that show non-reversibility of the previously established inclusions between theses classes. Among these examples, the most striking is a differentiable auto-homeomorphism $f$ of a compact perfect subset $X$ of $\mathbb R$ with $f'\equiv 0$, which constitutes also a minimal dynamical system. We finish with discussing a few remaining open problems on weather the maps with specific pointwise contraction properties must have the fixed points.

 Congruences for modular forms mod 2 and quaternionic $S$-ideal classes We prove many simultaneous congruences mod 2 for elliptic and Hilbert modular forms among forms with different Atkin--Lehner eigenvalues. The proofs involve the notion of quaternionic $S$-ideal classes and the distribution of Atkin--Lehner signs among newforms.

 The algebraic de Rham cohomology of representation varieties The $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb C)$-representation varieties of punctured surfaces form natural families parameterized by monodromies at the punctures. In this paper, we compute the loci where these varieties are singular for the cases of one-holed and two-holed tori and the four-holed sphere. We then compute the de Rham cohomologies of these varieties of the one-holed torus and the four-holed sphere when the varieties are smooth via the Grothendieck theorem. Furthermore, we produce the explicit Gauss-Manin connection on the natural family of the smooth $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb C)$-representation varieties of the one-holed torus.

 Classification of regular parametrized one-relation operads Jean-Louis Loday introduced a class of symmetric operads generated by one bilinear operation subject to one relation making each left-normed product of three elements equal to a linear combination of right-normed products: $(a_1a_2)a_3=\sum_{\sigma\in S_3}x_\sigma\, a_{\sigma(1)}(a_{\sigma(2)}a_{\sigma(3)})\ ;$ such an operad is called a parametrized one-relation operad. For a particular choice of parameters $\{x_\sigma\}$, this operad is said to be regular if each of its components is the regular representation of the symmetric group; equivalently, the corresponding free algebra on a vector space $V$ is, as a graded vector space, isomorphic to the tensor algebra of $V$. We classify, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, all regular parametrized one-relation operads. In fact, we prove that each such operad is isomorphic to one of the following five operads: the left-nilpotent operad defined by the relation $((a_1a_2)a_3)=0$, the associative operad, the Leibniz operad, the dual Leibniz (Zinbiel) operad, and the Poisson operad. Our computational methods combine linear algebra over polynomial rings, representation theory of the symmetric group, and GrÃ¶bner bases for determinantal ideals and their radicals.

 Comparison Properties of the Cuntz semigroup and applications to C*-algebras We study comparison properties in the category $\mathrm{Cu}$ aiming to lift results to the C*-algebraic setting. We introduce a new comparison property and relate it to both the CFP and $\omega$-comparison. We show differences of all properties by providing examples, which suggest that the corona factorization for C*-algebras might allow for both finite and infinite projections. In addition, we show that R{\o}rdam's simple, nuclear C*-algebra with a finite and an infinite projection does not have the CFP.

 Normality versus paracompactness in locally compact spaces This note provides a correct proof of the result claimed by the second author that locally compact normal spaces are collectionwise Hausdorff in certain models obtained by forcing with a coherent Souslin tree. A novel feature of the proof is the use of saturation of the non-stationary ideal on $\omega_1$, as well as of a strong form of Chang's Conjecture. Together with other improvements, this enables the consistent characterization of locally compact hereditarily paracompact spaces as those locally compact, hereditarily normal spaces that do not include a copy of $\omega_1$.

 Transfer of Representations and Orbital Integrals for Inner Forms of $GL_n$ We characterize the Local Langlands Correspondence (LLC) for inner forms of $\operatorname{GL}_n$ via the Jacquet-Langlands Correspondence (JLC) and compatibility with the Langlands Classification. We show that LLC satisfies a natural compatibility with parabolic induction and characterize LLC for inner forms as a unique family of bijections $\Pi(\operatorname{GL}_r(D)) \to \Phi(\operatorname{GL}_r(D))$ for each $r$, (for a fixed $D$) satisfying certain properties. We construct a surjective map of Bernstein centers $\mathfrak{Z}(\operatorname{GL}_n(F))\to \mathfrak{Z}(\operatorname{GL}_r(D))$ and show this produces pairs of matching distributions in the sense of Haines. Finally, we construct explicit Iwahori-biinvariant matching functions for unit elements in the parahoric Hecke algebras of $\operatorname{GL}_r(D)$, and thereby produce many explicit pairs of matching functions.

 The Classical $N$-body Problem in the Context of Curved Space We provide the differential equations that generalize the Newtonian $N$-body problem of celestial mechanics to spaces of constant Gaussian curvature, $\kappa$, for all $\kappa\in\mathbb R$. In previous studies, the equations of motion made sense only for $\kappa\ne 0$. The system derived here does more than just include the Euclidean case in the limit $\kappa\to 0$: it recovers the classical equations for $\kappa=0$. This new expression of the laws of motion allows the study of the $N$-body problem in the context of constant curvature spaces and thus offers a natural generalization of the Newtonian equations that includes the classical case. We end the paper with remarks about the bifurcations of the first integrals. Keywords:N-body problem, spaces of constant curvature

 Geometric classification of graph C*-algebras over finite graphs We address the classification problem for graph $C^*$-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that the graphs satisfy the standard condition (K), so that the graph $C^*$-algebras may come with uncountably many ideals. We find that in this generality, stable isomorphism of graph $C^*$-algebras does not coincide with the geometric notion of Cuntz move equivalence. However, adding a modest condition on the graphs, the two notions are proved to be mutually equivalent and equivalent to the $C^*$-algebras having isomorphic $K$-theories. This proves in turn that under this condition, the graph $C^*$-algebras are in fact classifiable by $K$-theory, providing in particular complete classification when the $C^*$-algebras in question are either of real rank zero or type I/postliminal. The key ingredient in obtaining these results is a characterization of Cuntz move equivalence using the adjacency matrices of the graphs. Our results are applied to discuss the classification problem for the quantum lens spaces defined by Hong and SzymaÅski, and to complete the classification of graph $C^*$-algebras associated to all simple graphs with four vertices or less.

 Weights of the mod $p$ kernel of the theta operators Let $\Theta ^{[j]}$ be an analogue of the Ramanujan theta operator for Siegel modular forms. For a given prime $p$, we give the weights of elements of mod $p$ kernel of $\Theta ^{[j]}$, where the mod $p$ kernel of $\Theta ^{[j]}$ is the set of all Siegel modular forms $F$ such that $\Theta ^{[j]}(F)$ is congruent to zero modulo $p$. In order to construct examples of the mod $p$ kernel of $\Theta ^{[j]}$ from any Siegel modular form, we introduce new operators $A^{(j)}(M)$ and show the modularity of $F|A^{(j)}(M)$ when $F$ is a Siegel modular form. Finally, we give some examples of the mod $p$ kernel of $\Theta ^{[j]}$ and the filtrations of some of them.

 The weak ideal property and topological dimension zero Following up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C*-algebras with the weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some results for C*-algebras with related properties. Some of the more important results include: $\bullet$ The weak ideal property implies topological dimension zero. $\bullet$ For a separable C*-algebra~$A$, topological dimension zero is equivalent to ${\operatorname{RR}} ({\mathcal{O}}_2 \otimes A) = 0$, to $D \otimes A$ having the ideal property for some (or any) Kirchberg algebra~$D$, and to $A$ being residually hereditarily in the class of all C*-algebras $B$ such that ${\mathcal{O}}_{\infty} \otimes B$ contains a nonzero projection. $\bullet$ Extending the known result for ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$, the classes of C*-algebras with residual (SP), which are residually hereditarily (properly) infinite, or which are purely infinite and have the ideal property, are closed under crossed products by arbitrary actions of abelian $2$-groups. $\bullet$ If $A$ and $B$ are separable, one of them is exact, $A$ has the ideal property, and $B$ has the weak ideal property, then $A \otimes_{\mathrm{min}} B$ has the weak ideal property. $\bullet$ If $X$ is a totally disconnected locally compact Hausdorff space and $A$ is a $C_0 (X)$-algebra all of whose fibers have one of the weak ideal property, topological dimension zero, residual (SP), or the combination of pure infiniteness and the ideal property, then $A$ also has the corresponding property (for topological dimension zero, provided $A$ is separable). $\bullet$ Topological dimension zero, the weak ideal property, and the ideal property are all equivalent for a substantial class of separable C*-algebras including all separable locally AH~algebras. $\bullet$ The weak ideal property does not imply the ideal property for separable $Z$-stable C*-algebras. We give other related results, as well as counterexamples to several other statements one might hope for.

 A Beurling Theorem for Generalized Hardy Spaces on a Multiply Connected Domain The object of this paper is to prove a version of the Beurling-Helson-Lowdenslager invariant subspace theorem for operators on certain Banach spaces of functions on a multiply connected domain in $\mathbb{C}$. The norms for these spaces are either the usual Lebesgue and Hardy space norms or certain continuous gauge norms. In the Hardy space case the expected corollaries include the characterization of the cyclic vectors as the outer functions in this context, a demonstration that the set of analytic multiplication operators is maximal abelian and reflexive, and a determination of the closed operators that commute with all analytic multiplication operators.

 Inequalities for the surface area of projections of convex bodies We provide general inequalities that compare the surface area $S(K)$ of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ to the minimal, average or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for all the quermassintegrals of $K$. We examine separately the dependence of the constants on the dimension in the case where $K$ is in some of the classical positions or $K$ is a projection body. Our results are in the spirit of the hyperplane problem, with sections replaced by projections and volume by surface area. Keywords:surface area, convex body, projectionCategories:52A20, 46B05

 Weingarten type surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ In this article, we study complete surfaces $\Sigma$, isometrically immersed in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ having positive extrinsic curvature $K_e$. Let $K_i$ denote the intrinsic curvature of $\Sigma$. Assume that the equation $aK_i+bK_e=c$ holds for some real constants $a\neq0$, $b\gt 0$ and $c$. The main result of this article state that when such a surface is a topological sphere it is rotational.

 Toric geometry of $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ free group character varieties from outer space Culler and Vogtmann defined a simplicial space $O(g)$ called outer space to study the outer automorphism group of the free group $F_g$. Using representation theoretic methods, we give an embedding of $O(g)$ into the analytification of $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C})),$ the $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ character variety of $F_g,$ reproving a result of Morgan and Shalen. Then we show that every point $v$ contained in a maximal cell of $O(g)$ defines a flat degeneration of $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$ to a toric variety $X(P_{\Gamma})$. We relate $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$ and $X(v)$ topologically by showing that there is a surjective, continuous, proper map $\Xi_v: \mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C})) \to X(v)$. We then show that this map is a symplectomorphism on a dense, open subset of $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$ with respect to natural symplectic structures on $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$ and $X(v)$. In this way, we construct an integrable Hamiltonian system in $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$ for each point in a maximal cell of $O(g)$, and we show that each $v$ defines a topological decomposition of $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C}))$ derived from the decomposition of $X(P_{\Gamma})$ by its torus orbits. Finally, we show that the valuations coming from the closure of a maximal cell in $O(g)$ all arise as divisorial valuations built from an associated projective compactification of $\mathcal{X}(F_g, SL_2(\mathbb{C})).$ Keywords:character variety, outer space, analytification, compactification, integrable systemCategories:14M25, 14T05, 14D20

In addition, an upper bound for the number of unitary conjugates in a convex combination needed to approximate a self-adjoint are obtained.
