As a continuation of the previous paper [7], we shall consider in this paper the problem of prediction given bounded intervals and obtain integral representations of predictors and prediction errors. For that purpose we shall introduce innovation processes well matched with bounded intervals. We follow the notation and terminology in [6].

Coates and Wiles [1] and B. Perrin-Riou (see [2]) study the arithmetic of an elliptic curve E defined over a number field F with complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field K by using p-adic techniques, which combine the classical descent of Mordell and Weil with ideas of Iwasawa’s theory of Zp-extensions of number fields. In a special case they consider a non-cyclotomic Zp-extension F∞ defined via torsion points of E and a certain Iwasawa module attached to E/F, which can be interpreted as an abelian Galois group of an extension of F∞. We are interested in the corresponding non-abelian Galois group and we want to show that the whole situation is quite analogous to the case of the cyclotomic Zp-extension (which is generated by torsion points of Gm).

Kaneko [2] proved a new recurrence formula for the Bernoulli numbers and gave two proofs. One of them was due to Don Zagier. We shall apply Zagier’s idea to the g-Bernoulli numbers attached to formal group.

We introduce an operation on modules over an F-finite ring of characteristic p. We call this operation tight interior. While it exists more generally, in some cases this operation is equivalent to the Matlis dual of tight closure. Moreover, the interior of the ring itself is simply the big test ideal. We directly prove, without appeal to tight closure, results analogous to persistence, colon capturing, and working modulo minimal primes, and we begin to develop a theory dual to phantom homology. Using our dual notion of persistence, we obtain new and interesting transformation rules for tight interiors, and so in particular for the test ideal. Using our theory of phantom homology, we prove a vanishing theorem for maps of Ext. We also compare our theory with Blickle’s notion of Cartier modules, and in the process we prove new existence results for Blickle’s test submodule. Finally, we apply the theory we developed to the study of test ideals in nonnormal rings, proving that the finitistic test ideal coincides with the big test ideal in some cases.

Stark [9] has explicitly evaluated some symplectic Gauss sums when the “denominator” matrix has odd prime level. This result is useful in computing the exact tranformation formulas of multivariable theta functions (see Stark [10], Friedberg [3] and Styer [11]). It is particularly useful when considering theta functions with quadratic forms having an odd number of variables, often a troublesome case (see Eichler [2] and Andrianov-Maloletkin [1]).

In this paper, we shall consider the logarithmic potential

where μ is a positive measure in the plane, P and Q are any points and PQ denotes the distance from P to Q. In general, consider the potential

of a positive measure μ taken with respect to a kernel K(P, Q) which is a continuous function in P and Q and may be + ∞ for P = Q. A kernel K (P, Q) is said to satisfy the balayage principle if, given any compact set F and any positive measure μ with compact support, there exists a positive measure μ′ supported by F such that K(P, μ′) = K(P, μ) on F with a possible exception of a set of k-capacity zero and K(P, μ′)≦K(P, μ) everywhere. A kernel K(P, Q) is said to satisfy the equilibrium principle if, given any compact set F there exists a positive measure λ supported by F such that K(P, λ) = V (a constant) on F with a possible exception of a set of K-capacity zero and K(p, λ)≦V everywhere.

Infinitely divisible probability measures on discrete spaces admitting a commutative convolution have been studied in various frameworks. For generalized convolutions related to Delphic structures an important contribution was made by Gilewski and Urbanik in [5]. In [11] Schwartz based his detailed analysis on convolutions arising from orthogonal series. Both of these approaches can be included into the framework of discrete hypergroups chosen f.e. by Gallardo and Gebuhrer in [4]. The main result common to these sources is the fact that, roughly speaking, all infinitely divisible probability measures are of Poisson type. Although the double coset spaces of Gelfand pairs are commutative hypergroups admitting an extended harmonic anafysis, the analytic methods developed in the theory of Gelfand pairs (see Dieudonné [3] and Heyer [7]) provide a more direct access to specific results like the characterization of divisible (idempotent, infinitely divisible) measures. For discrete Gelfand pairs (and their double coset spaces) Letac and his school have achieved remarkable results (see Letac [8], [9] and the references therein). The still unpublished thesis [1] of S. Ben Mansoor contains much information about divisible probability measures on cubes. In our exposition we reprove Ben Mansoor’s main theorem 3.5.4 with additional care, and discuss the special case of the ra-dimensional cube which was the basic object of study already in Letac, Takács [10]. It turns out that the main obstacle to be overcome in establishing the Poisson representation of infinitely divisible probability measures is the presence of idempotent factors, a problem that has been excluded f.e. in the work [4] of Gallardo and Gebuhrer.

To a certain Volevič system of singular partial differential equations, called a Fuchsian system, all the solutions of the homogeneous equation in a complex domain are constructed and parametrized in a good way, without any assumption on the characteristic exponents.

We denote by Pn(q) the projective space of dimension n over a finite field GF(q) with q elements, and we mean by an i-flat a linear subspace of dimension i in Pn(q).

Let K/F be a quadratic extension of number fields. After developing a theory of the Eisenstein series over F, we prove a formula which expresses a partial zeta function of K as a certain integral of the Eisenstein series. As an application, we obtain a limit formula of Kronecker’s type which relates the 0-th Laurent coefficients at s = 1 of zeta functions of K and F.

The trace of Hecke operators with respect to a unit group of an order in a quaternion algebra has been given in Eichler [1], [2] in the case when the order is of square-free level. The purpose of this note is to study the order of type (q1, q2, q3) (see text 1.1), in the case, of cube-free level, and to give a formula for the trace of Hecke operators in the case q3 = 2.

A connected complex Lie group without non-constant holomorphic functions is called a toroidal group ([5]) or an (H, C)-group ([9]). Let X be an n-dimensional toroidal group. Since a toroidal group is commutative ([5], [9] and [10]), X is isomorphic to the quotient group Cn/Γ by a lattice of Cn. A complex torus is a compact toroidal group. Cousin first studied a non-compact toroidal group ([2]).

Let L be a holomorphic line bundle over X. L is said to be homogeneous if is isomorphic to L for all x ε X, where Tx is the translation defined by x ε X. It is well-known that if X is a complex torus, then the following assertions are equivalent:

In this paper, we shall study a generalization of the Maillet determinant. hetp be an odd prime, and G = (Z/pZ)*. We shall identify any integer and its image in G if there is no fear of confusion. For any integer a, let R(a) denote an integer satisfying

Let X be an irreducible complex analytic space with j: U ↪ X an immersion of a smooth Zariski-open subset, and let 𝕍 be a variation of Hodge structure of weight n over U. Assume that X is compact Kähler. Then, provided that the local monodromy operators at infinity are quasi-unipotent, IHk (X, 𝕍) is known to carry a pure Hodge structure of weight k+n, while Hk (U, 𝕍) carries a mixed Hodge structure of weight at least k +n. In this note it is shown that the image of the natural map IHk (X, 𝕍) → Hk (U, 𝕍) is the lowest-weight part of this mixed Hodge structure. In the algebraic case this easily follows from the formalism of mixed sheaves, but the analytic case is rather complicated, in particular when the complement X — U is not a hypersurface.

Let M be an n-dimensional manifold immersed in an m-dimensional euclidean space Em and let ∇ and ∇̃ be the covariant differentiations of M and Em, respectively. Let X and Y be two tangent vector fields on M. Then the second fundamental form h is given by

(1.1) ∇̃XY = ∇XY + h(X,Y).

Les fonctions périodiques d’une seule variable ont été étudiées depuis longtemps. On sait que toute fonction méromorphe de n variables 2n fois périodiques peut s’écrire comme quotient de deux fonctions thêta. Ceci est a l’origine de l’essor des fonctions thêta. Au contraire, l’étude des fonctions périodiques de n variables r fois périodiques (r < 2n) a pris du retard. Il nous semble que P. Cousin ([4] et [5]) a étudié ces fonctions pour la première fois.

The deflection, under a point load, of a thin elastic plate clamped at the edges is the biharmonic Green’s function β with the boundary data β = ∂β/∂n = 0. If the boundary of the region is reasonably smooth, the construction of β offers no difficulty. In contrast, nothing is known about the existence of β in the general case. The purpose of our study is to give a sufficient condition for the existence of β on a given Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimension and to construct β. Our results will have, apart from their physical meaning in elasticity, consequences in the biharmonic classification theory of Riemannian manifolds.

For positive integers h, k and m, the higher-order Dedekind sums are defined by

Let p be an odd prime number. By using Iwasawa theory, we shall construct cyclotomic fields whose maximal real subfields have class group with arbitrarily large p-rank and conductor with only four prime factors.

In this paper we are concerned with transversely orientable codimension one foliations. Let be a Cr-foliation as above in a smooth manifold M, r ≧ 1, and let F0 be a closed leaf of . A neighborhood U of F0 is called a bicollar of F0 in this paper if there is a normal line bundle : U → F0 with respect to a fixed Riemannian metric on M such that each fibre of is transverse to .
