Characterization of generalized Schur functions in terms of their Taylor coefficients was established by Krein and Langer [‘Über einige Fortsetzungsprobleme, die eng mit der Theorie hermitescher Operatoren im Raume ${\Pi }_{\kappa } $ zusammenhängen. I. Einige Funktionenklassen und ihre Darstellungen’, Math. Nachr. 77 (1977), 187–236]. We establish a boundary analogue of this characterization.

For a finite Clifford inverse algebra $A$, with natural order meet-semilattice ${Y}_{A} $ and group of units ${G}_{A} $, we show that the inverse monoid obtained as the semidirect product ${ Y}_{A}^{1} {\mathop{\ast }\nolimits}_{\rho } {G}_{A} $ has a log-polynomial free spectrum whenever $\rho $ is a term-expressible left action of ${G}_{A} $ on ${Y}_{A} $ and all subgroups of $A$ are nilpotent. This yields a number of examples of finite inverse monoids satisfying the Seif conjecture on finite monoids whose free spectra are not doubly exponential.

This paper is concerned with a mass concentration phenomenon for a two-dimensional nonelliptic Schrödinger equation. It is well known that this phenomenon occurs when the ${L}^{4} $-norm of the solution blows up in finite time. We extend this result to the case where a mixed norm of the solution blows up in finite time.

Rooted monounary algebras can be considered as an algebraic counterpart of directed rooted trees. We work towards a characterization of the lattice of compatible quasiorders by describing its join- and meet-irreducible elements. We introduce the limit $\cB _\infty $ of all $d$-dimensional Boolean cubes $\Two ^d$ as a monounary algebra; then the natural order on $\Two ^d$ is meet-irreducible. Our main result is that any completely meet-irreducible quasiorder of a rooted algebra is a homomorphic preimage of the natural partial order (or its inverse) of a suitable subalgebra of $\cB _\infty $. For a partial order, it is known that complete meet-irreducibility means that the corresponding partially ordered structure is subdirectly irreducible. For a rooted monounary algebra it is shown that this property implies that the unary operation has finitely many nontrivial kernel classes and its graph is a binary tree.

We identify the groups ${\text{PSU} }_{6} (2)$, ${\text{PSU} }_{6} (2){: }2$, ${\text{PSU} }_{6} (2){: }3$ and $\text{Aut} ({\text{PSU} }_{6} (2))$ from the structure of the centralizer of an element of order three.

We show that for manifolds of dimension $m\geq 5$, the flow of a Seiberg–Witten-type functional admits a global smooth solution.

Let $w$ be a multilinear commutator word. We prove that if $e$ is a positive integer and $G$ is a finite group in which any nilpotent subgroup generated by $w$-values has exponent dividing $e$, then the exponent of the corresponding verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is bounded in terms of $e$ and $w$only.

Let $\phi $ and $\psi $ be analytic maps on the open unit disk $D$ such that $\phi (D) \subset D$. Such maps induce a weighted composition operator $C_{\phi ,\psi }$ acting on weighted Banach spaces of type $H^{\infty }$or on weighted Bergman spaces, respectively. We study when such operators are order bounded.
