In this paper, we introduce the spherical polar decomposition of the linear pencil of an ordered pair $\mathbf {T}=(T_{1},T_{2})$ and investigate nontrivial invariant subspaces between the generalized spherical Aluthge transform of the linear pencil of $\mathbf {T}$ and the linear pencil of the original pair $\mathbf {T}$ of bounded operators with dense ranges.

We study a nonlinear Beltrami equation $f_\theta =\sigma \,|f_r|^m f_r$ in polar coordinates $(r,\theta ),$ which becomes the classical Cauchy–Riemann system under $m=0$ and $\sigma =ir.$ Using the isoperimetric technique, various lower estimates for $|f(z)|/|z|, f(0)=0,$ as $z\to 0,$ are derived under appropriate integral conditions on complex/directional dilatations. The sharpness of the above bounds is illustrated by several examples.

This paper deals with some Monge–Ampère type equations involving the gradient that are elliptic in the framework of convex functions. First, we show that such equations may be obtained by minimizing a suitable functional. Moreover, we investigate a P-function associated with the solution to a boundary value problem of our generalized Monge–Ampère equation in a bounded convex domain. It will be shown that this P-function attains its maximum value on the boundary of the underlying domain. Furthermore, we show that such a P-function is actually identically constant when the underlying domain is a ball. Therefore, our result provides a best possible maximum principles in the sense of L. E. Payne. Finally, in case of dimension 2, we prove that this P-function also attains its minimum value on the boundary of the underlying domain. As an application, we will show that the solvability of a Serrin’s type overdetermined problem for our generalized Monge–Ampère type equation forces the underlying domain to be a ball.

In this article, we prove several refined versions of the classical Bohr inequality for the class of analytic self-mappings on the unit disk $ \mathbb {D} $, class of analytic functions $ f $ defined on $ \mathbb {D} $ such that $\mathrm {Re}\left (f(z)\right )<1 $, and class of subordination to a function g in $ \mathbb {D} $. Consequently, the main results of this article are established as certainly improved versions of several existing results. All the results are proved to be sharp.

In this article, the question of whether the Löwner partial order on the positive cone of an operator algebra is determined by the norm of any arbitrary Kubo–Ando mean is studied. The question was affirmatively answered for certain classes of Kubo–Ando means, yet the general case was left as an open problem. We here give a complete answer to this question, by showing that the norm of every symmetric Kubo–Ando mean is order-determining, i.e., if $A,B\in \mathcal B(H)^{++}$ satisfy $\Vert A\sigma X\Vert \le \Vert B\sigma X\Vert $ for every $X\in \mathcal {A}^{{++}}$, where $\mathcal A$ is the C*-subalgebra generated by $B-A$ and I, then $A\le B$.

The characterization of projectively flat Finsler metrics on an open subset in $R^n$ is the Hilbert’s fourth problem in the regular case. Locally projectively flat Finsler manifolds form an important class of Finsler manifolds. Every Finsler metric induces a spray on the manifold via geodesics. Therefore, it is a natural problem to investigate the geometric and topological properties of manifolds equipped with a spray. In this paper, we study the Pontrjagin classes of a manifold equipped with a locally projectively flat spray and show that such manifold must have zero Pontrjagin classes.

We investigate the convexity of the radial sum of two convex bodies containing the origin. Generally, the radial sum of two convex bodies containing the origin is not convex. We show that the radial sum of a star body (with respect to the origin) and any large centered ball is convex, which produces a pair of convex bodies containing the origin whose radial sum is convex.

We also investigate the convexity of the intersection body of a convex body containing the origin. Generally, the intersection body of a convex body containing the origin is not convex. Busemann’s theorem states that the intersection body of any centered convex body is convex. We are interested in how to construct convex intersection bodies from convex bodies without any symmetry (especially, central symmetry). We show that the intersection body of the radial sum of a star body (with respect to the origin) and any large centered ball is convex, which produces a convex body with no symmetries whose intersection body is convex.

Suppose $\mathfrak {g}=\mathfrak {g}_{\bar 0}+\mathfrak {g}_{\bar 1}$ is a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf {k}$ of characteristic $p>2$. In this article, we propose a conjecture for maximal dimensions of irreducible modules over the universal enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak {g})$ of $\mathfrak {g}$, as a super generalization of the celebrated first Kac–Weisfeiler conjecture. It is demonstrated that the conjecture holds for all basic classical Lie superalgebras and all completely solvable restricted Lie superalgebras. In this process, we investigate irreducible representations of solvable Lie superalgebras.

Given a $\sigma $-finite measure space $(X,\mu )$, a Young function $\Phi $, and a one-parameter family of Young functions $\{\Psi _q\}$, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the associated Orlicz norms of any function $f\in L^\Phi (X,\mu )$ to satisfy

$$\begin{align*}\lim_{q\rightarrow \infty}\|f\|_{L^{\Psi_q}(X,\mu)}=C\|f\|_{L^\infty(X,\mu)}. \end{align*}$$

The constant C is independent of f and depends only on the family $\{\Psi _q\}$. Several examples of one-parameter families of Young functions satisfying our conditions are given, along with counterexamples when our conditions fail.

In this article, we give generalizations of the well-known Fermat’s Little Theorem, Wilson’s theorem, and the little-known Gegenbauer’s theorem.

In this paper, we prove a rigidity result for the product metric on the product of spheres $S^1\times S^{n-1}$.

The tame Gras–Munnier Theorem gives a criterion for the existence of a $ {\mathbb Z}/p{\mathbb Z} $-extension of a number field K ramified at exactly a tame set S of places of K, the finite $v \in S$ necessarily having norm $1$ mod p. The criterion is the existence of a nontrivial dependence relation on the Frobenius elements of these places in a certain governing extension. We give a short new proof which extends the theorem by showing the subset of elements of $H^1(G_S,{\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})$ giving rise to such extensions of K has the same cardinality as the set of these dependence relations. We then reprove the key Proposition 2.2 using the more sophisticated Greenberg–Wiles formula based on global duality.

This note is motivated by recent studies by Eriksson-Bique and Soultanis about the construction of charts in general metric measure spaces. We analyze their construction and provide an alternative and simpler proof of the fact that these charts exist on sets of finite Hausdorff dimension. The observation made here offers also some simplification about the study of the relation between the reference measure and the charts in the setting of $\text {RCD}$ spaces.

In this paper, we present the results related to a problem posed by Andrzej Schinzel. Does the number $N_1(n)$ of integer solutions of the equation

We consider the attractor $\Lambda $ of a piecewise contracting map f defined on a compact interval. If f is injective, we show that it is possible to estimate the topological entropy of f (according to Bowen’s formula) and the Hausdorff dimension of $\Lambda $ via the complexity associated with the orbits of the system. Specifically, we prove that both numbers are zero.

In this note, assuming the nonvanishing result of explicit theta correspondence for the symplectic–orthogonal dual pair over quaternion algebra $\mathbb {H}$, we show that, for metapletic–orthogonal dual pair over $\mathbb {R}$ and the symplectic–orthogonal dual pair over quaternion algebra $\mathbb {H}$, the theta correspondence is compatible with tempered condition by directly estimating the matrix coefficients, without using the classification theorem.

In this note, we bound the metric dimension of the circulant graphs $C_n(1,2,\ldots ,t)$. We shall prove that if $n=2tk+t$ and if t is odd, then $\dim (C_n(1,2,\ldots ,t))=t+1$, which confirms Conjecture 4.1.1 in Chau and Gosselin (2017, Opuscula Mathematica 37, 509–534). In Vetrík (2017, Canadian Mathematical Bulletin 60, 206–216; 2020, Discussiones Mathematicae. Graph Theory 40, 67–76), the author has shown that $\dim (C_n(1,2,\ldots ,t))\leq t+\left \lceil \frac {p}{2}\right \rceil $ for $n=2tk+t+p$, where $t\geq 4$ is even, $1\leq p\leq t+1$, and $k\geq 1$. Inspired by his work, we show that $\dim (C_n(1,2,\ldots ,t))\leq t+\left \lfloor \frac {p}{2}\right \rfloor $ for $n=2tk+t+p$, where $t\geq 5$ is odd, $2\leq p\leq t+1$, and $k\geq 2$.

Let $\{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of integers larger than 1. We will study the harmonic analysis of the equal-weighted Moran measures $\mu _{\{b_n\},\{{\mathcal D}_n\}}$ with ${\mathcal D}_n=\{0,1,2,\ldots ,q_n-1\}$, where $q_n$ divides $b_n$ for all $n\geq 1.$ In this paper, we first characterize all the maximal orthogonal sets of $L^2(\mu _{\{b_n\},\{{\mathcal D}_n\}})$ via a tree mapping. By this characterization, we give some sufficient conditions for the maximal orthogonal set to be an orthonormal basis.

We prove a conjectural formula for the Brumer–Stark units. Dasgupta and Kakde have shown the formula is correct up to a bounded root of unity. In this paper, we resolve the ambiguity in their result. We also remove an assumption from Dasgupta–Kakde’s result on the formula.

Let $W_{\Gamma} $ be the right-angled Coxeter group with defining graph $\Gamma $. We show that the asymptotic dimension of $W_{\Gamma} $ is smaller than or equal to $\mathrm{dim}_{CC}(\Gamma )$, the clique-connected dimension of the graph. We generalize this result to graph products of finite groups.
