3  | Connected Components of Moduli Stacks of Torsors via Tamagawa Numbers Behrend, Kai; Dhillon, Ajneet
Let $X$ be a smooth projective geometrically connected curve over
a finite field with function field $K$. Let $\G$ be a connected semisimple group
scheme over $X$. Under certain hypotheses we prove the equality of
two numbers associated with $\G$.
The first is an arithmetic invariant, its Tamagawa number. The second
is a geometric invariant, the number of connected components of the moduli
stack of $\G$-torsors on $X$. Our results are most useful for studying
connected components as much is known about Tamagawa numbers.

| 29 | The Minimal Resolution Conjecture for Points on the Cubic Surface Casanellas, M.
In this paper we prove that a generalized version of the Minimal
Resolution Conjecture given by Musta\c{t}\v{a} holds for certain
general sets of points on a smooth cubic surface $X \subset
\PP^3$. The main tool used is Gorenstein liaison theory and, more
precisely, the relationship between the free resolutions of two linked schemes.

| 50 | Composition operators on $\mu$-Bloch spaces Chen, Huaihui; Gauthier, Paul
Given a positive continuous function $\mu$ on the
interval $0<t\le1$, we consider the space of so-called $\mu$-Bloch
functions on the unit ball. If $\mu(t)=t$, these are the classical
Bloch functions. For $\mu$, we define a metric $F_z^\mu(u)$ in
terms of which we give a characterization of $\mu$-Bloch functions.
Then, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained in order that
a composition operator be a bounded or compact operator between
these generalized Bloch spaces. Our results extend those of Zhang
and Xiao.

| 109 | The Ample Cone of the Kontsevich Moduli Space Coskun, Izzet; Harris, Joe; Starr, Jason
We produce ample (resp.\ NEF, eventually free) divisors in the
Kontsevich space $\Kgnb{0,n} (\mathbb P^r, d)$ of $n$-pointed,
genus $0$, stable maps to $\mathbb P^r$, given such divisors in
$\Kgnb{0,n+d}$. We prove that this produces all ample (resp.\ NEF,
eventually free) divisors in $\Kgnb{0,n}(\mathbb P^r,d)$.
As a consequence, we construct a contraction of the boundary
$\bigcup_{k=1}^{\lfloor d/2 \rfloor} \Delta_{k,d-k}$ in
$\Kgnb{0,0}(\mathbb P^r,d)$, analogous to a contraction of
the boundary $\bigcup_{k=3}^{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor}
\tilde{\Delta}_{k,n-k}$ in $\kgnb{0,n}$ first constructed by Keel
and McKernan.

| 124 | Characterizing Complete Erd\H os Space Dijkstra, Jan J.; Mill, Jan van
The space now known as {\em complete Erd\H os
space\/} $\cerdos$ was introduced by Paul Erd\H os in 1940 as the
closed subspace of the Hilbert space $\ell^2$ consisting of all
vectors such that every coordinate is in the convergent sequence
$\{0\}\cup\{1/n:n\in\N\}$. In a solution to a problem posed by Lex G.
Oversteegen we present simple and useful topological
characterizations of $\cerdos$.
As an application we determine the class
of factors of $\cerdos$. In another application we determine
precisely which of the spaces that can be constructed in the Banach
spaces $\ell^p$ according to the `Erd\H os method' are homeomorphic
to $\cerdos$. A novel application states that if $I$ is a
Polishable $F_\sigma$-ideal on $\omega$, then $I$ with the Polish
topology is homeomorphic to either $\Z$, the Cantor set $2^\omega$,
$\Z\times2^\omega$, or $\cerdos$. This last result answers a
question that was asked
by Stevo Todor{\v{c}}evi{\'c}.

| 141 | On the Littlewood Problem Modulo a Prime Green, Ben; Konyagin, Sergei
Let $p$ be a prime, and let $f \from \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} \rightarrow
\mathbb{R}$ be a function with $\E f = 0$ and $\Vert \widehat{f}
\Vert_1 \leq 1$. Then
$\min_{x \in \Zp} |f(x)| = O(\log p)^{-1/3 + \epsilon}$.
One should think of $f$ as being ``approximately continuous''; our
result is then an ``approximate intermediate value theorem''.
As an immediate consequence we show that if $A \subseteq \Zp$ is a
set of cardinality $\lfloor p/2\rfloor$, then
$\sum_r |\widehat{1_A}(r)| \gg (\log p)^{1/3 - \epsilon}$. This
gives a result on a ``mod $p$'' analogue of Littlewood's well-known
problem concerning the smallest possible $L^1$-norm of the Fourier
transform of a set of $n$ integers.

| 165 | Exponents of Diophantine Approximation in Dimension Two Laurent, Michel
Let $\Theta=(\alpha,\beta)$ be a point in $\bR^2$, with $1,\alpha,
\beta$ linearly independent over $\bQ$. We attach to $\Theta$ a
quadruple $\Omega(\Theta)$ of exponents that measure the quality
of approximation to $\Theta$ both by rational points and by
rational lines. The two ``uniform'' components of $\Omega(\Theta)$
are related by an equation due to Jarn\'\i k, and the four
exponents satisfy two inequalities that refine Khintchine's
transference principle. Conversely, we show that for any quadruple
$\Omega$ fulfilling these necessary conditions, there exists
a point $\Theta\in \bR^2$ for which $\Omega(\Theta) =\Omega$.

We consider the problem of determining for which square integrable
functions $f$ and $g$ on the polydisk the densely defined Hankel
product $H_{f}H_g^\ast$ is bounded on the Bergman space of the
polydisk. Furthermore, we obtain similar results for the mixed
Haplitz products $H_{g}T_{\bar{f}}$ and $T_{f}H_{g}^{*}$, where $f$
and $g$ are square integrable on the polydisk and $f$ is analytic.

| 205 | Representations of Non-Negative Polynomials, Degree Bounds and Applications to Optimization Marshall, M.
Natural sufficient conditions for a polynomial to have a local minimum
at a point are considered. These conditions tend to hold with
probability $1$. It is shown that polynomials satisfying these
conditions at each minimum point have nice presentations in terms of
sums of squares. Applications are given to optimization on a compact
set and also to global optimization. In many cases, there are degree
bounds for such presentations. These bounds are of theoretical
interest, but they appear to be too large to be of much practical use
at present. In the final section, other more concrete degree bounds
are obtained which ensure at least that the feasible set of solutions
is not empty.

| 264 | On $\BbZ$-Modules of Algebraic Integers Bell, J. P.; Hare, K. G.
Let $q$ be an algebraic integer of degree $d \geq 2$.
Consider the rank of the multiplicative subgroup of $\BbC^*$ generated
by the conjugates of $q$.
We say $q$ is of {\em full rank} if either the rank is $d-1$ and $q$
has norm $\pm 1$, or the rank is $d$.
In this paper we study some properties of $\BbZ[q]$ where $q$ is an
algebraic integer of full rank.
The special cases of when $q$ is a Pisot number and when $q$ is a Pisot-cyclotomic number
are also studied.
There are four main results.
\begin{compactenum}[\rm(1)]
\item If $q$ is an algebraic integer of full rank and $n$ is a fixed positive
integer,
then there are only finitely many $m$ such that
$\disc\left(\BbZ[q^m]\right)=\disc\left(\BbZ[q^n]\right)$.
\item If $q$ and $r$ are algebraic integers of degree $d$ of full rank
and $\BbZ[q^n] = \BbZ[r^n]$ for
infinitely many $n$, then either $q = \omega r'$ or $q={\rm Norm}(r)^{2/d}\omega/r'$,
where
$r'$ is some conjugate of $r$ and $\omega$ is some root of unity.
\item Let $r$ be an algebraic integer of degree at most $3$.
Then there are at most $40$ Pisot numbers $q$ such that
$\BbZ[q] = \BbZ[r]$.
\item There are only finitely many Pisot-cyclotomic numbers of any fixed
order.

A set in a metric space is called a \v{Ceby\v{s}ev set} if
it has a unique ``nearest neighbour'' to each point of the space. In
this paper we generalize this notion, defining a set to be
\v{Ceby\v{s}ev relative to} another set if every point in the
second set has a unique ``nearest neighbour'' in the first. We are
interested in \v{C}eby\v{s}ev sets in some hyperspaces over $\R$,
endowed with the Hausdorff metric, mainly the hyperspaces of compact

Let $\lambda$ be a fixed integer exceeding $1$ and $s_n$ any
strictly increasing sequence of positive integers satisfying $s_n\le
n^{15/14+o(1)}.$ In this paper we give a version of the large sieve
inequality for the sequence $\lambda^{s_n}.$ In particular, we
obtain nontrivial estimates of the associated trigonometric sums
``on average" and establish equidistribution properties of the
numbers $\lambda^{s_n} , n\le p(\log p)^{2+\varepsilon}$,
modulo $p$ for most primes $p.$

| 351 | Multiplication of Polynomials on Hermitian Symmetric spaces and Littlewood--Richardson Coefficients Graham, William; Hunziker, Markus
Let $K$ be a complex reductive algebraic group and $V$ a
representation of $K$. Let $S$ denote the ring of polynomials on
$V$. Assume that the action of $K$ on $S$ is multiplicity-free. If
$\lambda$ denotes the isomorphism class of an irreducible
representation of $K$, let $\rho_\lambda\from K \rightarrow
GL(V_{\lambda})$ denote the corresponding irreducible representation
and $S_\lambda$ the $\lambda$-isotypic component of $S$. Write
$S_\lambda \cdot S_\mu$ for the subspace of $S$ spanned by products of
$S_\lambda$ and $S_\mu$. If $V_\nu$ occurs as an irreducible
constituent of $V_\lambda\otimes V_\mu$, is it true that
$S_\nu\subseteq S_\lambda\cdot S_\mu$? In this paper, the authors
investigate this question for representations arising in the context
of Hermitian symmetric pairs. It is shown that the answer is yes in
some cases and, using an earlier result of Ruitenburg, that in the
remaining classical cases, the answer is yes provided that a
conjecture of Stanley on the multiplication of Jack polynomials is
true. It is also shown how the conjecture connects multiplication in
the ring $S$ to the usual Littlewood--Richardson rule.

\"Ulger, showing that for the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally
compact group $G$, an element $\phi \in A(G)^{**}$ is in $A(G)$ if and
only if $A(G) \phi \subseteq A(G)$ and $E \phi = \phi $ for all right
identities $E $ of $A(G)^{**}$. We also prove some results about the
topological centers of ${\mathcal B}^{**}$ and ${\mathcal A}^{**}$.

The aim of this paper is to prove two general results on parabolic

irreducible unitarizable representations. One of these consequences is a
reduction of the unitarizability problem for these groups. This
reduction is similar to the reduction of the unitarizability problem
to the case of real infinitesimal
character for real reductive groups.

where $g$ and $n$ are positive integers, $n$ is composite, and
$P(n)$ is the largest prime factor of $n$. Clearly, both $f_g(n)$
and $h_g(n)$ are integers if $n$ is a Fermat pseudoprime to base
$g$, and if $n$ is a Carmichael number, this is true for all $g$
coprime to $n$. Nevertheless, our bounds imply that the fractional
parts $\{f_g(n)\}$ and $\{h_g(n)\}$ are uniformly distributed, on
average over~$g$ for $f_g(n)$, and individually for $h_g(n)$. We
also obtain similar results with the functions ${\widetilde f}_g(n)

| 518 | Global Units Modulo Circular Units: Descent Without Iwasawa's Main Conjecture Belliard, Jean-Robert
Iwasawa's classical asymptotical formula relates the orders of the $p$-parts $X_n$ of the ideal
class groups along a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension $F_\infty/F$ of a number
field $F$ to Iwasawa structural invariants $\la$ and $\mu$
attached to the inverse limit $X_\infty=\varprojlim X_n$.
It relies on ``good" descent properties satisfied by
$X_n$. If $F$ is abelian and $F_\infty$ is cyclotomic, it is known
that the $p$-parts of the orders of the global units modulo
circular units $U_n/C_n$ are asymptotically equivalent to the
$p$-parts of the ideal class numbers. This suggests that these
quotients $U_n/C_n$, so to speak unit class groups, also satisfy
good descent properties. We show this directly, i.e., without using Iwasawa's Main Conjecture.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $(Y,\widehat{Y})$ to

construct a counterexample, which shows that this condition may
not be satisfied and hence $(Y,\widehat{Y})$ may not be dual
processes. Then we present a sufficient condition under which $Y$
is associated with a semi-Dirichlet form. Moreover, we give an

| 807 | Maximal Operators Associated with Vector Polynomials of Lacunary Coefficients Hong, Sunggeum; Kim, Joonil; Yang, Chan Woo
We prove the $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ ($1<p\le \infty$) boundedness of
the maximal operators associated with a family of vector polynomials
given by the form
$\{(2^{k_1}\mathfrak{p}_1(t),\dots,2^{k_d}\mathfrak{p}_d(t)):
t\in\mathbb{R} \}.$ Furthermore, by using the lifting argument, we
extend this result to a general class of vector polynomials whose
coefficients are of the form constant times $2^k$.

| 828 | Twisted Gross--Zagier Theorems Howard, Benjamin
The theorems of Gross--Zagier and Zhang relate the N\'eron--Tate
heights of complex multiplication points on the modular curve $X_0(N)$
(and on Shimura curve analogues) with the central derivatives of
automorphic $L$-function. We extend these results to include certain
CM points on modular curves of the form
$X(\Gamma_0(M)\cap\Gamma_1(S))$ (and on Shimura curve analogues).
These results are motivated by applications to Hida theory
that can be found in the companion article
"Central derivatives of $L$-functions in Hida families", Math.\ Ann.\
\textbf{399}(2007), 803--818.

| 888 | Face Ring Multiplicity via CM-Connectivity Sequences Novik, Isabella; Swartz, Ed
The multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan
is verified for the face rings of the following classes of
simplicial complexes: matroid complexes, complexes of dimension
one and two,
and Gorenstein complexes of dimension at most four.
The lower bound part of this conjecture is also established for the
face rings of all doubly Cohen--Macaulay complexes whose 1-skeleton's
connectivity does not exceed the codimension plus one as well as for
all $(d-1)$-dimensional $d$-Cohen--Macaulay complexes.
The main ingredient of the proofs is a new interpretation
of the minimal shifts in the resolution of the face ring
$\field[\Delta]$ via the Cohen--Macaulay connectivity of the
skeletons of $\Delta$.

| 904 | The Face Semigroup Algebra of a Hyperplane Arrangement Saliola, Franco V.
This article presents a study of an algebra spanned by the faces of a
hyperplane arrangement. The quiver with relations of the algebra is
computed and the algebra is shown to be a Koszul algebra.
It is shown that the algebra depends only on the intersection lattice of
the hyperplane arrangement. A complete system of primitive orthogonal
idempotents for the algebra is constructed and other algebraic structure
is determined including: a description of the projective indecomposable
modules, the Cartan invariants, projective resolutions of the simple
modules, the Hochschild homology and cohomology, and the Koszul dual
algebra. A new cohomology construction on posets is introduced, and it is
shown that the face semigroup algebra is isomorphic to the cohomology
algebra when this construction is applied to the intersection lattice of
the hyperplane arrangement.

We explore the geometric notion of prolongations in the setting of
computational algebra, extending results of Landsberg and Manivel
which relate prolongations to equations for secant varieties. We also
develop methods for computing prolongations that are combinatorial in
nature. As an application, we use prolongations to derive a new
family of secant equations for the binary symmetric model in
phylogenetics.

Let $G$ be a reductive connected linear algebraic group
over an algebraically closed field of positive
characteristic and let $\g$ be its Lie algebra.
First we extend a well-known result about the Picard group of a
semi-simple group to reductive groups.
Then we prove that if the derived group is simply connected
and $\g$ satisfies a
mild condition, the algebra $K[G]^\g$ of regular functions
on $G$ that are invariant under the action of $\g$ derived
from the conjugation action is a unique factorisation domain.

We give some examples of Calabi--Yau $3$-folds with $\rho=1$ and
$\rho=2$, defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and constructed as
$4$-codimensional subvarieties of $\mathbb{P}^7$ via commutative
algebra methods. We explain how to deduce their Hodge diamond and
top Chern classes from computer based computations over some
finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. Three of our examples (of degree
$17$ and $20$) are new. The two others (degree $15$ and $18$) are
known, and we recover their well-known invariants with our
method. These examples are built out of Gulliksen--Neg{\aa}rd and
Kustin--Miller complexes of locally free sheaves.

| 1073 | On the $2$-Rank of the Hilbert Kernel of Number Fields Griffiths, Ross; Lescop, Mikaël
Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of
number fields. In this paper, we show that the genus formula for
Hilbert kernels, proved by M. Kolster and A. Movahhedi, gives the
$2$-rank of the Hilbert kernel of $E$ provided that the $2$-primary
Hilbert kernel of $F$ is trivial. However, since the original genus
formula is not explicit enough in a very particular case, we first
develop a refinement of this formula in order to employ it in the
calculation of the $2$-rank of $E$ whenever $F$ is totally real with
trivial $2$-primary Hilbert kernel. Finally, we apply our results to
quadratic, bi-quadratic, and tri-quadratic fields which include
a complete $2$-rank formula for the family of fields
$\Q(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{\delta})$ where $\delta$ is a squarefree integer.

| 1092 | Minimal Transitive Factorizations of Permutations into Cycles Irving, John
We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem
closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings,
that is, we study the number $H_{\alpha}(i_2,i_3,\dots)$ of ways a
given permutation (with cycles described by the partition $\a$) can be
decomposed into a product of exactly $i_2$ 2-cycles, $i_3$ 3-cycles,
etc., with certain minimality and transitivity conditions imposed on the factors. The method is to
encode such factorizations as planar maps with certain descent structure and apply a new combinatorial
decomposition to make their enumeration more manageable. We apply our technique to determine
$H_{\alpha}(i_2,i_3,\dots)$ when $\a$ has one or two parts, extending earlier work of Goulden and Jackson.
We also show how these methods are readily modified to count inequivalent factorizations, where
equivalence is defined by permitting commutations of adjacent disjoint factors. Our technique permits us to
generalize recent work of Goulden, Jackson, and Latour, while allowing for a considerable simplification of
their analysis.

| 1151 | Covering Maps and Periodic Functions on Higher Dimensional Sierpinski Gaskets Ruan, Huo-Jun; Strichartz, Robert S.
We construct covering maps from infinite blowups of the
$n$-dimensional Sierpinski gasket $SG_n$ to certain compact
fractafolds based on $SG_n$. These maps are fractal analogs of the
usual covering maps from the line to the circle. The construction
extends work of the second author in the case $n=2$, but a
different method of proof is needed, which amounts to solving a
Sudoku-type puzzle. We can use the covering maps to define the
notion of periodic function on the blowups. We give a
characterization of these periodic functions and describe the
analog of Fourier series expansions. We study covering maps onto
quotient fractalfolds. Finally, we show that such covering maps
fail to exist for many other highly symmetric fractals.

| 1182 | Periodic and Almost Periodic Functions on Infinite Sierpinski Gaskets Strichartz, Robert S.
We define periodic functions on infinite blow-ups of the Sierpinski
gasket as lifts of functions defined on certain compact fractafolds
via covering maps. This is analogous to defining periodic functions
on the line as lifts of functions on the circle via covering maps. In
our setting there is only a countable set of covering maps. We
give two different characterizations of periodic functions in terms of
repeating patterns. However, there is no discrete group action that
can be used to characterize periodic functions. We also give a
Fourier series type description in terms of periodic eigenfunctions of
the Laplacian. We define almost periodic functions as uniform limits
of periodic functions.

A Riemannian manifold $(M,\rho)$ is called Einstein if the metric
$\rho$ satisfies the condition \linebreak$\Ric (\rho)=c\cdot \rho$ for some
constant $c$. This paper is devoted to the investigation of
$G$-invariant Einstein metrics, with additional symmetries,
on some homogeneous spaces $G/H$ of classical groups.
As a consequence, we obtain new invariant Einstein metrics on some
Stiefel manifolds $\SO(n)/\SO(l)$.
Furthermore, we show that for any positive integer $p$ there exists a
Stiefel manifold $\SO(n)/\SO(l)$
that admits at least $p$
$\SO(n)$-invariant Einstein metrics.

We classify the sets of four lattice points that all lie on a
short arc of a circle that has its center at the origin;
specifically on arcs of length $tR^{1/3}$ on a circle of radius
$R$, for any given $t>0$. In particular we prove that any arc of
length $ (40 + \frac{40}3\sqrt{10} )^{1/3}R^{1/3}$ on a circle of
radius $R$, with $R>\sqrt{65}$, contains at most three lattice
points, whereas we give an explicit infinite family of $4$-tuples
of lattice points, $(\nu_{1,n},\nu_{2,n},\nu_{3,n},\nu_{4,n})$,
each of which lies on an arc of length $ (40 +
\frac{40}3\sqrt{10})^{\smash{1/3}}R_n^{\smash{1/3}}+o(1)$ on a circle of
radius $R_n$.

When the algebra is aperiodic, we give another proof

satisfy the strongly local reflexivity, and this is used to prove
that strongly local reflexivity holds also for operator spaces
which have the LLP. Several homological characterizations of the
LLP and weak expectation property are given. We also prove that for any operator space
$V$, $V^{**}$ has the LLP if and only if $V$ has the LLP and
$V^{*}$ is exact.

For every polytope $\mathcal{P}$ there is the universal regular
polytope of the same rank as $\mathcal{P}$ corresponding to the
Coxeter group $\mathcal{C} =[\infty, \dots, \infty]$. For a given
automorphism $d$ of $\mathcal{C}$, using monodromy groups, we
construct a combinatorial structure $\mathcal{P}^d$. When
$\mathcal{P}^d$ is a polytope isomorphic to $\mathcal{P}$ we say that
$\mathcal{P}$ is self-invariant with respect to $d$, or
$d$-invariant. We develop algebraic tools for investigating these
operations on polytopes, and in particular give a criterion on the
existence of a $d$\nobreakdash-auto\-morphism of a given order. As an application,
we analyze properties of self-dual edge-transitive polyhedra and
polyhedra with two flag-orbits. We investigate properties of medials
of such polyhedra. Furthermore, we give an example of a self-dual
equivelar polyhedron which contains no polarity (duality of order
2). We also extend the concept of Petrie dual to higher dimensions,
and we show how it can be dealt with using self-invariance.
