We prove that the generalized Hilbert–Kunz function of a graded module $M$ over a two-dimensional standard graded normal $K$-domain over an algebraically closed field $K$ of prime characteristic $p$ has the form $gHK(M,q)=e_{gHK}(M)q^{2}+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}(q)$, with rational generalized Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity $e_{gHK}(M)$ and a bounded function $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}(q)$. Moreover, we prove that if $R$ is a $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra, the limit for $p\rightarrow +\infty$ of the generalized Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity $e_{gHK}^{R_{p}}(M_{p})$ over the fibers $R_{p}$ exists, and it is a rational number.

Given a relative faithfully flat pointed scheme over the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring $X\rightarrow S$ , this paper is motivated by the study of the natural morphism from the fundamental group scheme of the generic fiber $X_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}}$ to the generic fiber of the fundamental group scheme of $X$ . Given a torsor $T\rightarrow X_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}}$ under an affine group scheme $G$ over the generic fiber of $X$ , we address the question of finding a model of this torsor over $X$ , focusing in particular on the case where $G$ is finite. We provide several answers to this question, showing for instance that, when $X$ is integral and regular of relative dimension 1, such a model exists on some model $X^{\prime }$ of $X_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}}$ obtained by performing a finite number of Néron blowups along a closed subset of the special fiber of $X$ . Furthermore, we show that when $G$ is étale, then we can find a model of $T\rightarrow X_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}}$ under the action of some smooth group scheme. In the first part of the paper, we show that the relative fundamental group scheme of $X$ has an interpretation as the Tannaka Galois group of a Tannakian category constructed starting from the universal torsor.

This work concerns the linearity defect of a module $M$ over a Noetherian local ring $R$, introduced by Herzog and Iyengar in 2005, and denoted $\text{ld}_{R}M$. Roughly speaking, $\text{ld}_{R}M$ is the homological degree beyond which the minimal free resolution of $M$ is linear. It is proved that for any ideal $I$ in a regular local ring $R$ and for any finitely generated $R$-module $M$, each of the sequences $(\text{ld}_{R}(I^{n}M))_{n}$ and $(\text{ld}_{R}(M/I^{n}M))_{n}$ is eventually constant. The first statement follows from a more general result about the eventual constancy of the sequence $(\text{ld}_{R}C_{n})_{n}$ where $C$ is a finitely generated graded module over a standard graded algebra over $R$.

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical 3-fold pairs in characteristic $p>5$. In particular, we prove the cone theorem, contraction theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models for pairs with log divisor numerically equivalent to an effective divisor. These follow from our main results, which are that certain log minimal models are good.

The goal of this paper is to characterize the operating functions on modulation spaces $M^{p,1}(\mathbb{R})$ and Wiener amalgam spaces $W^{p,1}(\mathbb{R})$. This characterization gives an affirmative answer to the open problem proposed by Bhimani (Composition Operators on Wiener amalgam Spaces, arXiv: 1503.01606) and Bhimani and Ratnakumar (J. Funct. Anal. 270 (2016), pp. 621–648).

To a pair $P$ and $Q$ of finite posets we attach the toric ring $K[P,Q]$ whose generators are in bijection to the isotone maps from $P$ to $Q$. This class of algebras, called isotonian, are natural generalizations of the so-called Hibi rings. We determine the Krull dimension of these algebras and for particular classes of posets $P$ and $Q$ we show that $K[P,Q]$ is normal and that their defining ideal admits a quadratic Gröbner basis.

In Hirose (Tohoku Math. J. 62 (2010), 45–53), Susumu Hirose showed that, except for a few cases, the order $N$ of a cyclic group of self-homeomorphisms of a closed orientable topological surface $S_{g}$ of genus $g\geqslant 2$ determines the group up to a topological conjugation, provided that $N\geqslant 3g$. Gromadzki et al. undertook in Bagiński et al. (Collect. Math. 67 (2016), 415–429) a more general problem of topological classification of such group actions for $N>2(g-1)$. In Gromadzki and Szepietowski (Rev. R. Acad. Cienc. Exactas Fís. Nat. Ser. A Mat. RACSAM 110 (2016), 303–320), we considered the analogous problem for closed nonorientable surfaces, and in Gromadzki et al. (Pure Appl. Algebra 220 (2016), 465–481) – the problem of classification of cyclic actions generated by an orientation-reversing self-homeomorphism. The present paper, in which we deal with topological classification of actions on bordered surfaces of finite cyclic groups of order $N>p-1$, where $p$ is the algebraic genus of the surface, completes our project of topological classification of ‘‘large” cyclic actions on compact surfaces. We apply obtained results to solve the problem of uniqueness of the actions realizing the solutions of the so-called minimum genus and maximum order problems for bordered surfaces found in Bujalance et al. (Automorphisms Groups of Compact Bordered Klein Surfaces: A Combinatorial Approach, Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1439, Springer, 1990).

In a previous article, we proved that Shimura curves have no points rational over number fields under a certain assumption. In this article, we give another criterion of the nonexistence of rational points on Shimura curves and obtain new counterexamples to the Hasse principle for Shimura curves. We also prove that such counterexamples obtained from the above results are accounted for by the Manin obstruction.

A very well-covered graph is an unmixed graph whose covering number is half of the number of vertices. We construct an explicit minimal free resolution of the cover ideal of a Cohen–Macaulay very well-covered graph. Using this resolution, we characterize the projective dimension of the edge ideal of a very well-covered graph in terms of a pairwise $3$-disjoint set of complete bipartite subgraphs of the graph. We also show nondecreasing property of the projective dimension of symbolic powers of the edge ideal of a very well-covered graph with respect to the exponents.

We study the multiple Eisenstein series introduced by Gangl, Kaneko and Zagier. We give a proof of (restricted) finite double shuffle relations for multiple Eisenstein series by revealing an explicit connection between the Fourier expansion of multiple Eisenstein series and the Goncharov co-product on Hopf algebras of iterated integrals.
