During the past few years, some papers of P. Deligne and J.-P. Serre (see [2], [9], [10] and other references cited there) have included an investigation of certain properties of coefficients of modular forms, and in particular Serre [10] (see also [11]) obtained the divisibility property (1) below. Let

be a modular form of integral weight k ≧ 1 on a congruence subgroup of SL2(Z), and suppose that each cn belongs to the ring RK of integers of an algebraic number field K finite over Q. For c ∈ RK and m ≧ 1 an integer, write c ≡ 0 (mod m) if c ∈ m RK and c ≢ 0 (mod m) otherwise. Then Serre showed that there exists α > 0 such that

as x → ∞, where throughout this note N(n ≦ x: P) denotes the number of positive integers n ≦ x with the property P.

For a completely 0-simple semigroup, Howie [2] has investigated the subsemigroup generated by the idempotents. Here we determine those elements of such a semigroup which are generated by the set of nilpotent elements and hence we derive a condition for a completely 0-simple semigroup to be nilpotent generated. This condition is purely combinatorial, in terms of the structure of the graph associated with the semigroup, and it includes the case of a non-regular Rees matrix semigroup.

We give upper and lower bounds for the number of rational points on Prym varieties over finite fields. Moreover, we determine the exact maximum and minimum number of rational points on Prym varieties of dimension 2.

The aim of the present paper is the classification of real hypersurfaces M equipped with the condition Al = lA, l = R(., ξ)ξ, restricted in a subspace of the tangent space T p M of M at a point p. This class is large and difficult to classify, therefore a second condition is imposed: (∇ξ l)X = ω(X)ξ + ψ(X)lX, where ω(X), ψ(X) are 1-forms. The last condition is studied for the first time and is much weaker than ∇ξ l = 0 which has been studied so far. The Jacobi Structure Operator satisfying this weaker condition can be called generalized ξ-parallel Jacobi Structure Operator.

If X is a topological space then S(X) will denote the semigroup, under composition, of all continuous functions from X into X. An element f in a semigroup is regular if there is an element g such that fgf = f. The regular elements of S(X) will be denoted by R(X). Elements f and g are inverses of each other if fgf = f and gfg = g. Every regular element has an inverse [1]. If every element in a semigroup has a unique inverse then the semigroup is an inverse semigroup. In this paper we examine maximal inverse subsemigroups of S(X).

In 1959, Bishop [4] published a seminal paper in which he studied various types of spectral decompositions or “duality theories” that an arbitrary bounded linear operator on a reflexive Banach space might have. In the course of his investigations, he isolated the following analytic property which he called condition (β).

In general, a prime ideal P of a prime Noetherian ring need not be classically localisable. Since such a localisation, when it does exist, is a striking property; sufficiency criteria which guarantee it are worthy of careful study. One such condition which ensures localisation is when P is an invertible ideal [5, Theorem 1.3]. The known proofs of this result utilise both the left as well as the right invertiblity of P. Such a requirement is, in practice, somewhat restrictive. There are many occasions such as when a product of prime ideals is invertible [6] or when a non-idempotent maximal ideal is known to be projective only on one side [2], when the assumptions lead to invertibilty also on just one side. Our main purpose here is to show that in the context of Noetherian prime polynomial identity rings, this one-sided assumption is enough to ensure classical localisation [Theorem 3.5]. Consequently, if a maximal ideal in such a ring is invertible on one side then it is invertible on both sides [Proposition 4.1]. This result plays a crucial role in [2]. As a further application we show that for polynomial identity rings the definition of a unique factorisation ring is left-right symmetric [Theorem 4.4].

In this paper we presuppose a familiarity with the terminology and the basic results of radical theory, all of which can be found in Divinsky [2].

The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit formula of the Łojasiewicz exponent of an isolated weighted homogeneous singularity in terms of its weights.

The axiom of comonotonic independence for a preference ordering was introduced by Schmeidler [9]. It leads to the comonotonic additivity for the functional representing the preference ordering, which is necessarily a Choquet integral.

The aim of this paper is to illuminate the concepts of comonotonicity, comonotonic independence and comonotonic additivity. For example the seemingly weaker condition of weak comonotonic independence used by Chateauneuf in [2] is seen to be equivalent to comonotonic independence. Comonotonic additivity is characterized as additivity on chains of sets. From this the characterization of Choquet integrals in [4], [1], [8] follows easily.

Given an involution z in W, where W is the symmetric group of degree n, we study the relation between the subsystems of a root system for W corresponding to certain decreasing subsequences of z and the two-sided Kazhdan–Lusztig cell of W containing z.

There is a large body of literature on inverse semigroups. This literature contains a considerable amount of information concerning congruences on these semigroups, which is not surprising in view of the demonstrated fact that congruences on inverse semigroups play a decisive role in most of the existing structure theorems. In addition, for an inverse semigroup of known structure, finding its congruence lattice, or even certain properties of this lattice, often gives information about these semigroups not apparent in their structure theorems.

Mumford and Suominen in [8] and Newstead in [11] have considered the moduli problem of classifying the endomorphisms of finite-dimensional vector spaces. Using similar ideas we consider the moduli problem for endomorphisms of indecomposable semistable vector bundles over a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g ≥ 2.

This paper is a continuation of [1]. We begin with the notations for the sequence spaces considered in this paper. Let Γ be the space of sequences x = {xp} of complex numbers such that |xp|1/p⃗0 as p⃗∞. Γ can also be regarded as the space of integral functions f(z) = . The sequence space Γ is a vector space over the complex numbers with seminorms

This note points out a new aspect of the well-known relationship between the subjects mentioned in the title. The following result and its generalization in totally real algebraic number fields is central to the discussion. Let denote the Legendre symbol for relatively prime numbers a and b ℇ ℤ and a substitution of the modular subgroup Γ0(4). Then, if γ>0 and b≡1 mod 2,

According to (1), the Legendre symbol behaves somewhat like a modular function ﹙apart from the known behaviour under and ﹚. (1) follows (see below) from the functional equation

In two recent papers [1, 2] the Barnes integral for the E-functions was employed to sum a number of infinite series of E-functions. In §2 of this paper, by making use of the multiplication formula for the gamma function, the method is extended to series of E-functions of a different type.

In a recent illuminating paper, June M. Parker [5] discussed Choquet integral representations of comonotonic additive functionals and related concepts. In our paper we provide a generalization of the Choquet integral and use this to obtain an integral representation for comonotonic additive operators.

An automorphism φ of a group G is said to be normal if φ(H) = H for each normal subgroup H of G. These automorphisms form a group containing the group of inner automorphisms. When G is a non-abelian free (or free soluble) group, it is known that these groups of automorphisms coincide, but this is not always true when G is a free metabelian nilpotent group. The aim of this paper is to determine the group of normal automorphisms in this last case.

In this note we study properties of partially ample line bundles on simplicial projective toric varieties. We prove that the cone of q-ample line bundles is a union of rational polyhedral cones, and calculate these cones in examples. We prove a restriction theorem for big q-ample line bundles, and deduce that q-ampleness of the anticanonical bundle is not invariant under flips. Finally we prove a Kodaira-type vanishing theorem for q-ample line bundles.

Suppose E is an elliptic curve over $\Bbb Q$, and p>3 is a split multiplicative prime for E. Let q ≠ p be an auxiliary prime, and fix an integer m coprime to pq. We prove the generalised Mazur–Tate–Teitelbaum conjecture for E at the prime p, over number fields $K\subset \Bbb Q\big(\mu_{{q^{\infty}}},\;\!^{q^{\infty}\!\!\!\!}\sqrt{m}\big)$ such that p remains inert in $K\cap\Bbb Q(\mu_{{q^{\infty}}})^+$. The proof makes use of an improved p-adic L-function, which can be associated to the Rankin convolution of two Hilbert modular forms of unequal parallel weight.
