Let $V$ be an even dimensional nondegenerate symmetric bilinear space over a nonarchimedean local field $F$ of characteristic zero, and let $n$ be a nonnegative integer. Suppose that $\sigma \,\in \,\text{Irr(O(}V\text{))}$ and $\pi \,\in \,\text{Irr}\,\text{(Sp(}n,\,F\text{))}$ correspond under the theta correspondence. Assuming that $\sigma $ is tempered, we investigate the problem of determining the Langlands quotient data for $\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }$.

We prove that all Liouville's tori generic bifurcations of a large class of two degrees of freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems (the so called Jacobi–Moser–Mumford systems) are nondegenerate in the sense of Bott. Thus, for such systems, Fomenko's theory [4] can be applied (we give the example of Gel'fand–Dikii's system). We also check the Bott property for two interesting systems: the Lagrange top and the geodesic flow on an ellipsoid.

Consider the variance for the number of primes that are both in the interval $\left[ y,\,y\,+\,h \right]$ for $y\,\in \,[x,\,2x]$ and in an arithmetic progression of modulus $q$. We study the total variance obtained by adding these variances over all the reduced residue classes modulo $q$. Assuming a strong form of the twin prime conjecture and the Riemann Hypothesis one can obtain an asymptotic formula for the total variance in the range when $1\le \,h/q\,\le \,{{x}^{1/2-\in }}$, for any $\varepsilon \,>\,0$. We show that one can still obtain some weaker asymptotic results assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) in place of the twin prime conjecture. In their simplest form, our results are that on GRH the same asymptotic formula obtained with the twin prime conjecture is true for “almost all” $q$ in the range $1\le h/q\le {{h}^{1/4-\in }}$, that on averaging over $q$ one obtains an asymptotic formula in the extended range $1\le h/q\le {{h}^{1/2-\in }}$, and that there are lower bounds with the correct order of magnitude for all $q$ in the range $1\le h/q\le {{x}^{1/3-\in }}$.

In this paper, we define the notion of ${{R}_{*}}\text{-LS}$ category associated to an increasing system of subrings of $\mathbb{Q}$ and we relate it to the usual $\text{LS}$-category. We also relate it to the invariant introduced by Félix and Lemaire in tame homotopy theory, in which case we give a description in terms of Lie algebras and of cocommutative coalgebras, extending results of Lemaire-Sigrist and Félix-Halperin.

This paper considers the rational system ${{P}_{n}}({{a}_{1}},{{a}_{2}},...,{{a}_{n}})\,\,:=\,\left\{ \frac{P(x)}{\Pi _{k=1}^{n}(x-{{a}_{k}})},\,P\,\in \,{{P}_{n}} \right\}$ with nonreal elements in $\left\{ {{a}_{k}} \right\}_{k=1}^{n}\,\subset \,\mathbb{C}\,\backslash \,[-1,\,1]$ paired by complex conjugation. It gives a sharp (to constant) Markov-type inequality for real rational functions in ${{P}_{n}}({{a}_{1}},{{a}_{2}},...,{{a}_{n}})$. The corresponding Markov-type inequality for high derivatives is established, as well as Nikolskii-type inequalities. Some sharp Markov- and Bernstein-type inequalities with curved majorants for rational functions in ${{P}_{n}}({{a}_{1}},{{a}_{2}},...,{{a}_{n}})$ are obtained, which generalize some results for the classical polynomials. A sharp Schur-type inequality is also proved and plays a key role in the proofs of our main results

For an arbitrary finite Galois $p$-extension $L/K$ of ${{\mathbb{Z}}_{p}}$-cyclotomic number fields of $\text{CM}$-type with Galois group $G=\text{Gal}(L/K)$ such that the Iwasawa invariants $\mu _{K}^{-},\,\mu _{L}^{-}$ are zero, we obtain unconditionally and explicitly the Galois module structure of $C_{L}^{-}\,(p)$, the minus part of the $p$-subgroup of the class group of $L$. For an arbitrary finite Galois $p$-extension $L/K$ of algebraic function fields of one variable over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$ as its exact field of constants with Galois group $G=\text{Gal}(L/K)$ we obtain unconditionally and explicitly the Galois module structure of the $p$-torsion part of the Jacobian variety ${{J}_{L}}(p)$ associated to $L/k$.

The universal enveloping algebra, $U(\mathfrak{g})$, of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ supports some norms and seminorms that have arisen naturally in the context of heat kernel analysis on Lie groups. These norms and seminorms are investigated here from an algebraic viewpoint. It is shown that the norms corresponding to heat kernels on the associated Lie groups decompose as product norms under the natural isomorphism $U({{\mathfrak{g}}_{1\,}}\oplus \,{{\mathfrak{g}}_{2}})\,\cong \,U({{\mathfrak{g}}_{1}})\,\otimes \,U({{\mathfrak{g}}_{2}})$. The seminorms corresponding to Green's functions are examined at a purely Lie algebra level for $\text{sl(2,}\,\mathbb{C}\text{)}$. It is also shown that the algebraic dual space ${U}'$ is spanned by its finite rank elements if and only if $\mathfrak{g}$ is nilpotent.

Let ${{M}_{n}}$ be the variety of spatial polygons $P\,=\,({{a}_{1}},\,{{a}_{2}},...,{{a}_{n}})$ whose sides are vectors ${{a}_{i}}\,\in \,{{\mathbf{R}}^{3}}$ of length $\left| {{a}_{i}} \right|\,=\,1\,(1\,\le \,i\,\le \,n)$, up to motion in ${{\mathbf{R}}^{3}}$. It is known that for odd $n$, ${{M}_{n}}$ is a smooth manifold, while for even $n$, ${{M}_{n}}$ has cone-like singular points. For odd $n$, the rational homology of ${{M}_{n}}$ was determined by Kirwan and Klyachko [6], [9]. The purpose of this paper is to determine the rational homology of ${{M}_{n}}$ for even $n$. For even $n$, let ${{\tilde{M}}_{n}}$ be the manifold obtained from ${{M}_{n}}$ by the resolution of the singularities. Then we also determine the integral homology of ${{\tilde{M}}_{n}}$.

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for mean convergence of Lagrange interpolation at zeros of orthogonal polynomials for weights on [-1, 1], such as

$$w(x)\,=\,\exp \left( -{{\left( 1-{{x}^{2}} \right)}^{-\alpha }} \right),\,\alpha >0$$

or

$$w(x)=\exp \left( -{{\exp }_{k}}{{\left( 1-{{x}^{2}} \right)}^{-\alpha }} \right),k\ge 1,\alpha >0,$$

where ${{\exp }_{k}}=\exp \left( \exp \left( \cdot \cdot \cdot \exp (\,)\cdot \cdot \cdot \right) \right)$ denotes the $k$-th iterated exponential.

Let $\pi :X\,\to \,S$ be a finite type morphism of noetherian schemes. A smooth formal embedding of $X$ (over $S$) is a bijective closed immersion $X\,\subset \,\mathfrak{X}$ , where $\mathfrak{X}$ is a noetherian formal scheme, formally smooth over $S$. An example of such an embedding is the formal completion $\mathfrak{X}={{Y}_{/X}}$ where $X\,\subset \,Y$ is an algebraic embedding. Smooth formal embeddings can be used to calculate algebraic De Rham(co)homology.

Our main application is an explicit construction of the Grothendieck residue complex when $S$ is a regular scheme. By definition the residue complex is the Cousin complex of ${{\pi }^{!}}{{O}_{S}}$, as in $[\text{RD}]$. We start with $\text{I-C}$. Huang's theory of pseudofunctors on modules with 0-dimensional support, which provides a graded sheaf ${{\oplus }_{q}}K_{X/S}^{q}.$ We then use smooth formal embeddings to obtain the coboundary operator $\delta :K_{X/S}^{q}\to K_{X/S}^{q+1}.$ We exhibit a canonical isomorphism between the complex $K_{X/S}^{\cdot },\delta $ and the residue complex of $[\text{RD}]$. When $\pi $ is equidimensional of dimension $n$ and generically smooth we show that ${{\text{H}}^{-n}}K_{X/S}^{\cdot }$ is canonically isomorphic to to the sheaf of regular differentials of Kunz-Waldi $[\text{KW}]$.

Another issue we discuss is Grothendieck Duality on a noetherian formal scheme $\mathfrak{X}$ . Our results on duality are used in the construction of $K_{X/S}^{\cdot }$.

We show that every equivariant polynomial automorphism of a $\Theta $- representation and of the reduction of an irreducible $\Theta $-representation is a multiple of the identity.

Iwahori-Hecke algebras for the infinite series of complex reflection groups $G(r,\,p,\,n)$ were constructed recently in the work of Ariki and Koike [AK], Broué and Malle [BM], and Ariki [Ari]. In this paper we give Murnaghan-Nakayama type formulas for computing the irreducible characters of these algebras. Our method is a generalization of that in our earlier paper [HR] in which we derived Murnaghan-Nakayama rules for the characters of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of the classical Weyl groups. In both papers we have been motivated by C. Greene [Gre], who gave a new derivation of the Murnaghan-Nakayama formula for irreducible symmetric group characters by summing diagonal matrix entries in Young's seminormal representations. We use the analogous representations of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of $G(r,\,p,\,n)$ given by Ariki and Koike [AK] and Ariki [Ari].

We study the intertwining operator and $h$-harmonics in Dunkl's theory on $h$–harmonics associated with reflection groups. Based on a biorthogonality between the ordinary harmonics and the action of the intertwining operator $V$ on the harmonics, the main result provides a method to compute the action of the intertwining operator $V$ on polynomials and to construct an orthonormal basis for the space of $h$-harmonics.

Turbiner’s conjecture posits that a Lie-algebraic Hamiltonian operator whose domain is a subset of the Euclidean plane admits a separation of variables. A proof of this conjecture is given in those cases where the generating Lie-algebra acts imprimitively. The general form of the conjecture is false. A counter-example is given based on the trigonometric Olshanetsky-Perelomov potential corresponding to the ${{A}_{2}}$ root system.

This paper studies conditions on an analytic function that imply it belongs to ${{M}_{\alpha }}$, the set of multipliers of the family of functions given by $f(z)\,=\,{{\int }_{\left| \zeta \right|=1}}\,\frac{1}{{{(1-\overline{\zeta }z)}^{\alpha }}}d\mu (\zeta )\,(\left| z \right|\,<\,1)$ where $\mu $ is a complex Borel measure on the unit circle and $\alpha \,>\,0$. There are two main theorems. The first asserts that if $0\,<\,\alpha \,<\,1$ and ${{\sup }_{\left| \zeta \right|=1}}\,\int_{0}^{1}{}\left| {f}'(r\zeta ) \right|{{(1-r)}^{\alpha -1}}\,dr<\infty \text{then}f\in {{M}_{\alpha }}$. The second asserts that if $0\,<\,\alpha \,\le \,1,f\,\in \,{{H}^{\infty }}$ and $\sup {{}_{t\int_{0}^{\pi }{{}}}}\frac{\left| f({{e}^{i(t+s)}})-2f({{e}^{it}})+f({{e}^{i(t-s)}}) \right|}{{{s}^{2-\alpha }}}\,ds\,<\,\infty$ then $f\in {{M}_{\alpha }}$. The conditions in these theorems are shown to relate to a number of smoothness conditions on the unit circle for a function analytic in the open unit disk and continuous in its closure.

In this paper, we first show that the central height of the unit group of the integral group ring of a periodic group is at most 2. We then give a complete characterization of the $n$-centre of that unit group. The $n$-centre of the unit group is either the centre or the second centre (for $n\,\ge \,2$).

We define Hardy spaces of conjugate systems of temperature functions on $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n+1}$. We show that their boundary distributions are the same as the boundary distributions of the usual Hardy spaces of conjugate systems of harmonic functions.

In this paper, we determine when two simple generalized Cartan type $W$ Lie algebras ${{W}_{d}}(A,\,T,\,\varphi )$ are isomorphic, and discuss the relationship between the Jacobian conjecture and the generalized Cartan type $W$ Lie algebras.

Nous montrons que l’invariant de Hasse-Witt de la forme de Killing d’une algèbre de Lie semi-simple $L$ s’exprime à l’aide de l’invariant de Tits de la représentation irréductible de $L$ de poids dominant $\rho \,=\,\frac{1}{2}$ (somme des racines positives), et des invariants associés au groupe des symétries du diagramme de Dynkin de $L$.

For the $q$-series $\sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{\infty }{{{a}^{n}}{{q}^{b{{n}^{2}}+cn}}/}\,{{(q)}_{n}}$ we construct a companion $q$-series such that the asymptotic expansions of their logarithms as $q\,\to \,{{1}^{-}}$ differ only in the dominant few terms. The asymptotic expansion of their quotient then has a simple closed form; this gives rise to a new $q$–hypergeometric identity. We give an asymptotic expansion of a general class of $q$-series containing some of Ramanujan's mock theta functions and Selberg's identities.
