We introduce the notion of Killing normal Jacobi operator for real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2. The Killing normal Jacobi operator implies that the unit normal vector field N becomes 𝔄-principal or 𝔄-isotropic. Then according to each case, we give a complete classification of real hypersurfaces in Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2 with Killing normal Jacobi operator.

We study space-like hypersurfaces with functionally bounded mean curvature in Lorentzian warped products , where F is a (non-compact) complete Riemannian manifold whose universal covering is parabolic. In particular, we provide several rigidity results under appropriate mathematical and physical assumptions. As an application, several Calabi–Bernstein-type results are obtained which widely extend the previous ones in this setting.

We prove the stability with respect to the flux of solutions to initial – boundary value problems for scalar non autonomous conservation laws in one space dimension. Key estimates are obtained through a careful construction of the solutions.

We consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the whole space. After introducing a weaker concept of finite speed of propagation, we show that the concatenation of initial data gives rise to solutions whose time of existence increases as one translates one of the initial data. Moreover, we show that, given global decaying solutions with initial data u0, v0, if |y| is large, then the concatenated initial data u0 + v0(· − y) gives rise to globally decaying solutions.

We provide sufficient conditions for the non-existence, existence and uniqueness of limit cycles surrounding a focus of a quadratic polynomial differential system in the plane.

In this paper, we obtain the variational characterization of Hardy space Hp for $p\in (((n)/({n+1})),1]$, and get estimates for the oscillation operator and the λ-jump operator associated with approximate identities acting on Hp for $p\in (((n)/({n+1})),1]$. Moreover, we give counterexamples to show that the oscillation and λ-jump associated with some approximate identity cannot be used to characterize Hp for $p\in (((n)/({n+1})),1]$.

A number field K with a ring of integers 𝒪K is called a Pólya field, if the 𝒪K-module of integer-valued polynomials on 𝒪K has a regular basis, or equivalently all its Bhargava factorial ideals are principal [1]. We generalize Leriche's criterion [8] for Pólya-ness of Galois closures of pure cubic fields, to general S3-extensions of ℚ. Also, we prove for a real (resp. imaginary) Pólya S3-extension L of ℚ, at most four (resp. three) primes can be ramified. Moreover, depending on the solvability of unit norm equation over the quadratic subfield of L, we determine when these sharp upper bounds can occur.

We give a general method of extending unital completely positive maps to amalgamated free products of C*-algebras. As an application, we give a dilation theoretic proof of Boca's Theorem.

As a consequence of the main result of this paper efficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of a T −periodic solution to the second-order differential equation

$${u}^{\prime \prime} = \displaystyle{{h(t)} \over {u^\lambda }}$$

We study the existence and multiplicity of periodic weak solutions for a non-local equation involving an odd subcritical nonlinearity which is asymptotically linear at infinity. We investigate such problem by applying the pseudo-index theory developed by Bartolo, Benci and Fortunato [11] after transforming the problem to a degenerate elliptic problem in a half-cylinder with a Neumann boundary condition, via a Caffarelli-Silvestre type extension in periodic setting. The periodic nonlocal case, considered here, presents, respect to the cases studied in the literature, some new additional difficulties and a careful analysis of the fractional spaces involved is necessary.

We present some fundamental properties of quasi-Reinhardt domains, in connection with Kobayashi hyperbolicity, minimal domains and representative domains. We also study proper holomorphic correspondences between quasi-Reinhardt domains.

We define the projective stable category of a coherent scheme. It is the homotopy category of an abelian model structure on the category of unbounded chain complexes of quasi-coherent sheaves. We study the cofibrant objects of this model structure, which are certain complexes of flat quasi-coherent sheaves satisfying a special acyclicity condition.

Pullback attractors with forwards unbounded behaviour are to be found in the literature, but not much is known about pullback attractors with each and every section being unbounded. In this paper, we introduce the concept of unbounded pullback attractor, for which the sections are not required to be compact. These objects are addressed in this paper in the context of a class of non-autonomous semilinear parabolic equations. The nonlinearities are assumed to be non-dissipative and, in addition, defined in such a way that the equation possesses unbounded solutions as the initial time goes to -∞, for each elapsed time. Distinct regimes for the non-autonomous term are taken into account. Namely, we address the small non-autonomous perturbation and the asymptotically autonomous cases.

We consider an elliptic problem of the type

$$\left\{ {\matrix{ {-\Delta u = f(x,u)\quad } \hfill & {{\rm in}\,\Omega } \hfill \cr {u = 0} \hfill & {{\rm on}\,\Gamma _1} \hfill \cr {\displaystyle{{\partial u} \over {\partial \nu }} = g(x,u)} \hfill & {{\rm on}\,\Gamma _2} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$

$\partial \Omega = \overline {\Gamma _1} \cup \overline {\Gamma _2} $

Under a Morse index condition, we prove cylindrical symmetry results for solutions of the above problem.

As an intermediate step, we relate the Morse index of a solution of the nonlinear problem to the eigenvalues of the following linear eigenvalue problem

$$\left\{ {\matrix{ {-\Delta w_j + c(x)w_j = \lambda _jw_j} \hfill & {{\rm in }\Omega } \hfill \cr {w_j = 0} \hfill & {{\rm on }\Gamma _1} \hfill \cr {\displaystyle{{\partial w_j} \over {\partial \nu }} + d(x)w_j = \lambda _jw_j} \hfill & {{\rm on }\Gamma _2} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$

We prove some stability results for certain classes of C*-algebras. We prove that, whenever A is a finite-dimensional C*-algebra, B is a C*-algebra and ϕ: A → B is approximately a *-homomorphism, there is an actual *-homomorphism close to ϕ by a factor depending only on how far ϕ is from being a *-homomorphism and not on A or B.

We consider a class of Schrödinger operators on ${\open R}^N$ with radial potentials. Viewing them as self-adjoint operators on the space of radially symmetric functions in $L^2({\open R}^N)$, we show that the following properties are generic with respect to the potential:

1. (P1) the eigenvalues below the essential spectrum are nonresonant (i.e., rationally independent) and so are the square roots of the moduli of these eigenvalues;

2. (P2) the eigenfunctions corresponding to the eigenvalues below the essential spectrum are algebraically independent on any nonempty open set.

Baumslag and Wiegold have recently proven that a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if o(xy) = o(x)o(y) for every x, y ∈ G with (o(x), o(y)) = 1. Motivated by this surprisingly new result, we have obtained related results that just consider sets of prime divisors of element orders. For instance, the first of our main results asserts that G is nilpotent if and only if π(o(xy)) = π(o(x)o(y)) for every x, y ∈ G of prime power order with (o(x), o(y)) = 1. As an immediate consequence, we recover the Baumslag–Wiegold Theorem. While this result is still elementary, we also obtain local versions that, for instance, characterize the existence of a normal Sylow p-subgroup in terms of sets of prime divisors of element orders. These results are deeper and our proofs rely on results that depend on the classification of finite simple groups.

In this paper, we study the existence, nonexistence and mass concentration of L2-normalized solutions for nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equations. Comparingwith the Schrödinger equation, we encounter some new challenges due to the nonlocal nature of the fractional Laplacian. We first prove that the optimal embedding constant for the fractional Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev inequality can be expressed by exact form, which improves the results of [17, 18]. By doing this, we then establish the existence and nonexistence of L2-normalized solutions for this equation. Finally, under a certain type of trapping potentials, by using some delicate energy estimates we present a detailed analysis of the concentration behavior of L2-normalized solutions in the mass critical case.

For bounded domains Ω, we prove that the Lp-norm of a regular function with compact support is controlled by weighted Lp-norms of its gradient, where the weight belongs to a class of symmetric non-negative definite matrix-valued functions. The class of weights is defined by regularity assumptions and structural conditions on the degeneracy set, where the determinant vanishes. In particular, the weight A is assumed to have rank at least 1 when restricted to the normal bundle of the degeneracy set S. This generalization of the classical Poincaré inequality is then applied to develop a robust theory of first-order Lp-based Sobolev spaces with matrix-valued weight A. The Poincaré inequality and these Sobolev spaces are then applied to produce various results on existence, uniqueness and qualitative properties of weak solutions to boundary-value problems for degenerate elliptic, degenerate parabolic and degenerate hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) of second order written in divergence form, where A is calibrated to the matrix of coefficients of the second-order spatial derivatives. The notion of weak solution is variational: the spatial states belong to the matrix-weighted Sobolev spaces with p = 2. For the degenerate elliptic PDEs, the Dirichlet problem is treated by the use of the Poincaré inequality and Lax–Milgram theorem, while the treatment of the Cauchy–Dirichlet problem for the degenerate evolution equations relies only on the Poincaré inequality and the parabolic and hyperbolic counterparts of the Lax–Milgram theorem.

In this series of papers, we explore moments of derivatives of L-functions in function fields using classical analytic techniques such as character sums and approximate functional equation. The present paper is concerned with the study of mean values of derivatives of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions over function fields when the average is taken over monic and irreducible polynomials P in 𝔽q[T]. When the cardinality q of the ground field is fixed and the degree of P gets large, we obtain asymptotic formulas for the first moment of the first and the second derivative of this family of L-functions at the critical point. We also compute the full polynomial expansion in the asymptotic formulas for both mean values.
