Let Λ be a finite-dimensional algebra and G be a finite group whose elements act on Λ as algebra automorphisms. Assume that Λ has a complete set E of primitive orthogonal idempotents, closed under the action of a Sylow p-subgroup S ≤ G. If the action of S on E is free, we show that the skew group algebra Λ G and Λ have the same finitistic dimension, and have the same strong global dimension if the fixed algebra ΛS is a direct summand of the ΛS-bimodule Λ. Using a homological characterization of piecewise hereditary algebras proved by Happel and Zacharia, we deduce a criterion for Λ G to be piecewise hereditary.

We establish some upper and lower bounds for the number of rational points of Prym varieties defined over finite fields. They are better than the usual Weil bounds valid for any abelian varieties defined over such fields.

The fundamental work on approximation in weighted spaces of continuous functions on a completely regular space has been done mainly by Nachbin ([5], [6]). Further investigations have been made by Summers [10], Prolla ([7], [8]), and other authors (see the monograph [8] for more references). These authors considered functions with range contained in the scalar field or a locally convex topological vector space. In the present paper we prove some approximation results without local convexity of the range space.

We construct a calculus of functors in the spirit of orthogonal calculus, which is designed to study ‘functors with reality’ such as the Real classifying space functor, . The calculus produces a Taylor tower, the n-th layer of which is classified by a spectrum with an action of . We further give model categorical considerations, producing a zigzag of Quillen equivalences between spectra with an action of and a model structure on the category of input functors which captures the homotopy theory of the n-th layer of the Taylor tower.

We prove a result in the area of twisted Diophantine approximation related to the theory of Schmidt games. In particular, under certain restrictions we give an affirmative answer to the analogue in this setting of a famous conjecture of Schmidt from Diophantine approximation.

Let ℂn,n denote the space of n × n matrices with complex entries and let ℋn denote the set of n × n hermitian matrices. Given any matrix A∊ℂn,n, the Lyapunov transformation corresponding to A is defined by ℐA(H) = AH+HA*, where H∊ℋn. Let PSD(n) be the set of all n × n hermitian positive semidefinite matrices. Taussky [8, 9] raised the problems of determining

and

Both of these problems seem to be difficult.

A well-known fact concerning a prime right Goldie ring R, proved in [4, Section 5], is that an essential right ideal is generated by the regular elements which it contains. There is a modification of that proof which shows that each element of R is the sum of at most two regular elements. This suggested that the recent results of Chatters and Ginn [1] concerning rings generated by their regular elements might possibly be refined a little, since their arguments actually show that elements of R are sums of at most three regular elements.

This note extends the concept of the inner automorphism, but here applies only to those finite groups G for which some member of the lower central series is Abelian. In general (e.g. when G is metabelian) the construction yields an endomorphism semigroup, but in the special case where Gis nilpotent (and may therefore, for our present purposes, be considered as a p-group) a group of automorphisms results.

In this work we consider a complete spacelike submanifold $M^{n}$ immersed in the De Sitter space $S_{p}^{n+p}(1)$ with parallel mean curvature vector. We use a Simons type inequality to obtain some rigidity results characterizing umbilical submanifolds and hyperbolic cylinders in $S_p^{n+p}(1)$.

In this article, we study localizations of hearts of cotorsion pairs ($\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{V}$) where $\mathcal{U}$ is rigid on an extriangulated category $\mathcal{B}$ . The hearts of such cotorsion pairs are equivalent to the functor categories over the stable category of $\mathcal{U}$ ( $\bmod \underline{\mathcal{U}}$ ). Inspired by Marsh and Palu (Nagoya Math. J.225(2017), 64–99), we consider the mutation (in the sense of Iyama and Yoshino, Invent. Math.172(1) (2008), 117–168) of $\mathcal{U}$ that induces a cotorsion pair ( $\mathcal{U}^{\prime}, \mathcal{V}^{\prime}$ ). Generally speaking, the hearts of ( $\mathcal{U}, \mathcal{V}$ ) and ( $\mathcal{U}^{\prime}, \mathcal{V}^{\prime}$ ) are not equivalent to each other, but we will give a generalized pseudo-Morita equivalence between certain localizations of their hearts.

Let G be a finite abelian group, and Y be a closed surface. The problems of classifying and enumerating the free and effective G-actions on Y modulo selfhomeomorphisms of Y and X = Y/G can be transferred into ones of classifying regular G-coverings on X. P. A. Smith [7], proved that for any prime number p there are pr(r–1)/2 equivalence classes of free (ℤp)r actions on Y provided that rℤgenus of X. This paper is devoted to the classification and the enumeration of regular G-covering surfaces, when G is any finite abelian group. Recently, A. Edmonds [2] classified the G-actions on closed surfaces by their G-bordism classes in the set (G) of free oriented G-cobordism classes of free oriented G-surfaces.

In his unpublished manuscripts (referred to by Birch [1] as Fragment V, pp. 247–249), Ramanujan [3] gave a whole list of assertions about various (transforms of) modular forms possessing naturally associated Euler products, in more or less the spirit of his extremely beautiful paper entitled “On certain arithmetical functions” (in Trans. Camb. Phil. Soc. 22 (1916)). It is simply amazing how Ramanujan could write down (with an ostensibly profound insight) a basis of eigenfunctions (of Hecke operators) whose associated Dirichlet series have Euler products, anticipating by two decades the famous work of Hecke and Petersson. That he had further realized, in the event of a modular form f not corresponding to an Euler product, the possibility of restoring the Euler product property to a suitable linear combination of modular forms of the same type as f, is evidently fantastic.

§ 1. Introductory. The formula to be established is

where m is a positive integer,

and the constants are such that the integral converges.

In § 2 a number of integrals in which the integrand contains a product of a hypergeometric function and an E-function will be evaluated. The following formulae will be employed in the proofs.

If ρ +σ = α + β + γ + 1, and if α, β or γ is zero or a negative integer,

this is Sallschütz's theorem [1].

If R(γ - ½α - ½β)< - ½,

This theorem was given by Wastson [2] for negative integral values of α and later by Whipple [3] for general values α.

R(γ) > 0,

This formula was given by Whipple [3]

l is a positive integer,

A homology theory based on measures, first mentioned by Thurston, is naturally defined here as a functor into the category of locally convex topological vector spaces. It is proved that the first homology space is Hausdorff.

The integral operator which we will consider in this paper is the operator T denned for suitably restricted functions f on (0, ∞) by

where x >0 and the integral is taken in the Cauchy principal value sense at t = x. This operator plays a considerable role in Wiener–Hopf theory; see [2; Chapter 5].

Since T is clearly the restriction to (0, ∞) of minus the Hilbert transformation applied to functions which vanish on (−∞, 0), it follows easily from the theory of the Hilbert transformation, as given in say [6; Theorem 101], that T is a bounded operator from Lp(0, ∞) to itself for 1 < p < ∞.

We investigate questions on the existence of nontrivial solution for a class of the critical Kirchhoff-type problems in Hyperbolic space. By the use of the stereographic projection the problem becomes a singular problem on the boundary of the open ball $B_1(0)\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ Combining a version of the Hardy inequality, due to Brezis–Marcus, with the mountain pass theorem due to Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz are used to obtain the nontrivial solution. One of the difficulties is to find a range where the Palais Smale converges, because our equation involves a nonlocal term coming from the Kirchhoff term.

We present some results on locally (soluble-by-finite) groups with various restrictions on subgroups of infinite rank.

In this paper, we consider several homological dimensions of crossed products AασG, where A is a left Noetherian ring and G is a finite group. We revisit the induction and restriction functors in derived categories, generalizing a few classical results for separable extensions. The global dimension and finitistic dimension of AσαG are classified: global dimension of AσαG is either infinity or equal to that of A, and finitistic dimension of AσαG coincides with that of A. A criterion for skew group rings to have finite global dimensions is deduced. Under the hypothesis that A is a semiprimary algebra containing a complete set of primitive orthogonal idempotents closed under the action of a Sylow p-subgroup S ≤ G, we show that A and AασG share the same homological dimensions under extra assumptions, extending the main results in (Li, Representations of modular skew group algebras, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.367(9) (2015), 6293–6314, Li, Finitistic dimensions and picewise hereditary property of skew group algebras, to Glasgow Math. J.57(3) (2015), 509–517).

Numerous formulae have been given which exhibit the asymptotic behaviour as t → ∞solutions of

where F(t) is essentially positive and Several of these results have been unified by a theorem of F. V. Atkinson [1]. It is the purpose of this paper to establish results, analogous to the theorem of Atkinson, for the third order equation

and for the fourth order equation
