Let T be a Fourier integral operator on Rn of order–(n–1)/2. Seeger, Sogge, and Stein showed (among other things) that T maps the Hardy space H1 to L1. In this note we show that T is also of weak-type (1, 1). The main ideas are a decomposition of T into non-degenerate and degenerate components, and a factorization of the non-degenerate portion.

An asymptotic formula is established for the number of representations of a large integer as the sum of kth powers of natural numbers, in which each representation is counted with a homogeneous weight that de-emphasises the large solutions. Such an asymptotic formula necessarily fails when this weight is excessively light.

We apply the Moser iteration method to obtain a pointwise bound on the norm of the second fundamental form from a bound on its Ln norm for a complete minimal submanifold in a sphere. As an application we show that a complete minimal submanifold in a sphere with finite total curvature and Ricci curvature bounded away from -∞ must be compact. This complements similar results of Osserman and Oliveira in the case the ambient space is the Euclidean and the hyperbolic space respectively.

In the present paper we consider Fitting classes of finite soluble groups which locally satisfy additional conditions related to the behaviour of their injectors. More precisely, we study Fitting classes 1 ≠⊆such that an-injector of G is, respectively, a normal, (sub)modular, normally embedded, system permutable subgroup of G for all G ∈.

Locally normal Fitting classes were studied before by various authors. Here we prove that some important results—already known for normality—are valid for all of the above mentioned embedding properties. For instance, all these embedding properties behave nicely with respect to the Lockett section. Further, for all of these properties the class of all finite soluble groups G such that an x-injector of G has the corresponding embedding property is not closed under forming normal products, and thus can fail to be a Fitting class.

We give a detailed exposition of the theory of decompositions of linearised polynomials, using a well-known connection with skew-polynomial rings with zero derivative. It is known that there is a one-to-one correspondence between decompositions of linearised polynomials and sub-linearised polynomials. This correspondence leads to a formula for the number of indecomposable sub-linearised polynomials of given degree over a finite field. We also show how to extend existing factorisation algorithms over skew-polynomial rings to decompose sub-linearised polynomials without asymptotic cost.

A subset S of an associative ring R is a uniform insulator for R provided a S b ≠ 0 for any nonzero a, b ∈ R. The ring R is called uniformly strongly prime of bound m if R has uniform insulators and the smallest of those has cardinality m. Here we compute these bounds for matrix rings over fields and obtain refinements of some results of van den Berg in this context.

More precisely, for a field F and a positive integer k, let m be the bound of the matrix ring Mk(F), and let n be dimF(V), where V is a subspace of Mk(F) of maximal dimension with respect to not containing rank one matrices. We show that m + n = k2. This implies, for example, that n = k2 − k if and only if there exists a (nonassociative) division algebra over F of dimension k.

It is shown that if R is a right Noetherian ring whose right socle is essential as a right ideal and is contained in the left socle, then R is right Artinian. This result may be viewed as a one-sided version of a result of Ginn and Moss on two-sided Noetherian rings with essential socle. This also extends the work of Nicholson and Yousif where the same result is obtained under a stronger hypothesis. We use our work to obtain partial positive answers to some open questions on right CF, right FGF and right Johns rings.

Given a lattice formation F of full characteristic, an F - Fitting class is a Fitting class with stronger closure properties involving F -subnormal subgroups. The main aim of this paper is to prove that the associated injectors possess a good behaviour with respect to F -subnormal subgroups.

New proofs are given of the fundamental results of Bader, Lunardon and Thas relating flocks of the quadratic cone in PG(3, q), q odd, and BLT-sets of Q(4, q). We also show that there is a unique BLT-set of H(3, 9). The model of Penttila for Q(4, q), q odd, is extended to Q(2m, q) to construct partial flocks of size qm/2+m/2 – 1 of the cone kin PG(2m – 1, q) with vertex a point and base Q(2m – 2, q), where q is congruent to 1 or 3 modulo 8 and m is even. These partial flocks are larger than the largest previously known for m > 2. Also, the example of O'Keefe and Thas of a partial flock of k in PG(5, 3) of size 6 is generalised to a partial flock of the cone k of PG(2pn – 1, p) of size 2pn, for any prime p congruent to 1 or 3 modulo 8, with the corresponding partial BLT-set of Q(2pn, p) admitting the symmetric group of degree 2pn + 1.

A graph is one-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its arcs. In this paper we show that there exists a one-regular cubic graph of order 2p or 2p2 where p is a prime if and only if 3 is a divisor of p – 1 and the graph has order greater than 25. All of those one-regular cubic graphs are Cayley graphs on dihedral groups and there is only one such graph for each fixed order. Surprisingly, it can be shown that there is no one-regular cubic graph of order 4p or 4p2.

Composition operators Cτ between Orlicz spaces Lϕ (Ω, Σ, μ) generated by measurable and nonsingular transformations τ from Ω into itself are considered. We characterize boundedness and compactness of the composition operator between Orlicz spaces in terms of properties of the mapping τ, the function ϕ and the measure space (Ω, Σ, μ). These results generalize earlier results known for Lp-spaces.

We establish the existence and approximation of solutions to the operator inclusion y ∈ Ty for deterministic and random cases for a nonexpansive and *-nonexpansive multivalued mapping T defined on a closed bounded (not necessarily convex) subset C of a Banach space. We also prover random fixed points and approximation results for*-nonexpansive random operators defined on an unbounded subject C of a uniformly convex Banach space.

Staring form a probability σ on the half-line moments of any order A. G. Pakes has defined probabilities σr, by length biasing order r and gr, by the stationary-excess operation of order r, r = 1, 2,…Examples are given to show that σ can bt determined in the Stieltjes sence while σ1 and g1 are indeterminate in the Stieltjes sence. This shows that a statement in a recent paper by Pakes does not hold.

Let Β1, Β2 be a pair of Banach spaces and T be a vector valued martingale transform (with respect to general filtration) which maps Β1-valued martingales into Β2-valued martingales. Then, the following statements are equivalent: T is bounded from into for some p (or equivalently for every p) in the range 1 < p < ∞; T is bounded from into BMOB2; T is bounded from BMOB1 into BMOB2; T is bounded from into . Applications to UMD and martingale cotype properties are given. We also prove that the Hardy space defined in the case of a general filtration has nice dense sets and nice atomic decompositions if and only if Β has the Radon-Nikodým property.

Let K be a commutative ring with unity, R a prime K-algebra of characteristic different from 2, d and δ non-zero derivations of R, f (x1,…, xn) a multilinear polynomial over K.If

then f(x1,…,xnis central-valued on R.

We give a formula for the Dixmier-Douady class of a continuous-trace groupoid crossed product that arises from an action of a locally trivial, proper, principal groupoid on a bundle of elementary C*-algebras that satisfies Fell's condition.

We study the harmonicity of maps to or from cosymplectic manifolds by relating them to maps to or from Kähler spaces.

In a topological vector space, duality invariant is a very important property, some famous theorems, such as the Mackey-Arens theorem, the Mackey theorem, the Mazur theorem and the Orlicz-Pettis theorem, all show some duality invariants.

In this paper we would like to show an important improvement of the invariant results, which are related to sequential evaluation convergence of function series. Especially, a very general invariant result is established for an abstract mapping pair (Φ, B(Φ, X)) consisting of a nonempty set Φ and B(Φ, X) = {f ∈ XΦ: f (Φ) is bounded}, where X is a locally convex space.

It is shown that if E, F are Fréchet spaces, E ∈ (Hub), F ∈ (DN) then H(E, F) = Hub(E, F) holds. Using this result we prove that a Fréchet space E is nuclear and has the property (Hub) if and only if every entire function on E with values in a Fréchet space F ∈ (DN) can be represented in the exponential form. Moreover, it is also shown that if H(F*) has a LAERS and E ∈ (Hub) then H(E × F*) has a LAERS, where E, F are nuclear Fréchet spaces, F* has an absolute basis, and conversely, if H(E × F*) has a LAERS and F ∈ (DN) then E ∈ (Hub).

We study the stability map from the rigid analytic space of semistable points in P3 to convex sets in the building of Sp2 over a local field and construct a pure affinoid covering of the space of stable points.
