We show that given a stable weighted configuration on the asymptotic boundary of a locally compact Hadamard space, there is a polygon with Gauss map prescribed by the given weighted configuration. Moreover, the same result holds for semistable configurations on arbitrary Euclidean buildings.

It is shown that the group of compactly supported, measure-preserving homeomorphisms of a connected, second countable manifold is locally contractible in the direct limit topology. Furthermore, this group is weakly homotopically equivalent to the more general group of compactly supported homeomorphisms.

In this paper we study affine completeness of generalised dihedral groups. We give a formula for the number of unary compatible functions on these groups, and we characterise for every $k\in \mathbb{N}$ the $k$-affine complete generalised dihedral groups. We find that the direct product of a 1-affine complete group with itself need not be 1-affine complete. Finally, we give an example of a nonabelian solvable affine complete group. For nilpotent groups we find a strong necessary condition for 2-affine completeness.

We show that each point of the principal eigencurve of the nonlinear problem

$$-{{\Delta }_{p}}u-\text{ }\lambda m(x){{\left| u \right|}^{p-2}}u=\mu {{\left| u \right|}^{p-2}}u\,\,\text{in}\Omega ,$$

is stable (continuous) with respect to the exponent $p$ varying in $\left( 1,\infty \right)$; we also prove some convergence results of the principal eigenfunctions corresponding.

This paper is concerned with the structure of inner ${{E}_{0}}$-semigroups. We show that any inner ${{E}_{0}}$-semigroup acting on an infinite factor $M$ is completely determined by a continuous tensor product system of Hilbert spaces in $M$ and that the product system associated with an inner ${{E}_{0}}$-semigroup is a complete cocycle conjugacy invariant.

It is known that the derivative of a Blaschke product whose zero sequence lies in a Stolz angle belongs to all the Bergman spaces ${{A}^{P}}$ with $0<p<3/2$. The question of whether this result is best possible remained open. In this paper, for a large class of Blaschke products $B$ with zeros in a Stolz angle, we obtain a number of conditions which are equivalent to the membership of ${B}'$ in the space ${{A}^{p}}\left( p>1 \right)$. As a consequence, we prove that there exists a Blaschke product $B$ with zeros on a radius such that ${B}'\,\notin \,{{A}^{3/2}}$.

Free analogues of the logarithmic Sobolev inequality compare the relative free Fisher information with the relative free entropy. In the present paper such an inequality is obtained for measures on the circle. The method is based on a random matrix approximation procedure, and a large deviation result concerning the eigenvalue distribution of special unitary matrices is applied and discussed.

This note shows that any set of cofibrations containing the standard set of generating projective cofibrations determines a cofibrantly generated proper closed model structure on the category of simplicial presheaves on a small Grothendieck site, for which the weak equivalences are the local weak equivalences in the usual sense.

In this paper, we consider the behavior of the commutators of convolution operators on the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces ${{\dot{F}}_{p}}^{s,q}$.

We construct vector-valued modular forms of weight 2 associated to Jacobi-like forms with respect to a symmetric tensor representation of $\Gamma$ by using the method of Kuga and Shimura as well as the correspondence between Jacobi-like forms and sequences of modular forms. As an application, we obtain vector-valued modular forms determined by theta functions and by pseudodifferential operators.

We call $\alpha \left( z \right)={{a}_{0}}+{{a}_{1}}z+\cdot \cdot \cdot +{{a}_{n-1}}{{z}^{n-1}}$ a Littlewood polynomial if ${{a}_{j}}=\pm 1$ for all $j$. We call $\alpha \left( z \right)$ self-reciprocal if $\alpha \left( z \right)={{z}^{n-1}}\alpha \left( 1/z \right)$, and call $\alpha \left( z \right)$ skewsymmetric if $n=2m+1$ and ${{a}_{m+j}}={{\left( -1 \right)}^{j}}{{a}_{m-j}}$ for all $j$. It has been observed that Littlewood polynomials with particularly high minimum modulus on the unit circle in $\mathbb{C}$ tend to be skewsymmetric. In this paper, we prove that a skewsymmetric Littlewood polynomial cannot have any zeros on the unit circle, as well as providing a new proof of the known result that a self-reciprocal Littlewood polynomial must have a zero on the unit circle.

In this paper, we find a lower bound on the number of cyclic function fields of prime degree $l$ whose class numbers are divisible by a given integer $n$. This generalizes a previous result of D. Cardon and R. Murty which gives a lower bound on the number of quadratic function fields with class numbers divisible by $n$.

The purpose of this note is to show that the homologically trivial cycles contructed by Clemens and their generalisations due to Paranjape can be detected by the technique of spreading out. More precisely, we associate to these cycles (and the ambient varieties in which they live) certain families which arise naturally and which are defined over $\mathbb{C}$ and show that these cycles, along with their relations, can be detected in the singular cohomology of the total space of these families.

The number of cyclic cubic fields with a given conductor and a given index is determined.
