This paper investigates complete space-like submainfold with parallel mean curvature vector in the de Sitter space. Some pinching theorems on square of the norm of the second fundamental form are given

Lef: G → G be a continuous map of a graph and let d(A) denote the derived set (or limit points) of A ⊂ G. We prove that d(Ω(f)) ⊂ λ (f) and the depth of f is at most three. We also prove that if f is piecewise monotone or has zero topological entropy, then the depth of f is at most two. Furthermore, we obtain some results on the topological structure of Ω(f).

We consider the problem of finding, for each even number m, a basis of orthogonal vectors of length in the Leech lattice. We give such a construction by means of double circulant codes whenever m = 2p and p is a prime not equal to 11. From this one can derive a construction for all even m not of the form 2· 11r.

We prove here that the p - 1 first derivatives of the fundamental period of the Carliz module are algebraically independent. For that purpose we will show to use Mahler's method in this situtaion.

In this paper we prove that every positive definite n-ary integral quadratic form with 12 < n < 13 (respectively 14 ≦ n ≤ 20) that can be represented by a sum of squares of integral linear forms is represented by a sum of 2 · 3n + n + 6 (respectively 3 · 4n + n + 3) squares. We also prove that every positive definite 7-ary integral quadratic form that can be represented by a sum of squares is represented by a sum of 25 squares.

Let N be a finitely generated normal subgroup of a finitely generated group G. We show that if the trivial subgroup is tame in the factor group G/N, then N is that in G. We also give a short new proof of the fact that quasiconvex subgroups of negatively curved groups are tame. The proof utilizes the concept of the geodesic core of the subgroup and is related to the Dehn algorithm.

We develop sharp conditions for various types of starlikeness for functions analytic in the unit disk with bounded derivatives. We also describe the precise range {zf′(z)/f(z): z ∈ D, f ∈ }, where f ∈ means f (0) = 0, f′(0) = 1, and |f′(z) - 1 |< ≦ λ in the unit disc D, and draw some cnoslusions from that.

We show that a quantum Verma-type module for a quantum group associated to an affine Kac-Moody algebra is characterized by its subspace of finite-dimensional weight spaces. In order to do this we prove an explicit equivalence of categories between a certain category containing the quantum Verma modules and a category of modules for a subalgebra of the quantum group for which the finite part of the Verma module is itself a module.

It is known that the direct product of two automatic groups is automatic. The notion of automaticity bas been extended to semigroups, and this for groups has been generalized to automatic monoids. However, the direct product of two automatic semigroups need not be finitely generated and hence not automatic.

Robertson, Ruškuc and Wiegold have determined necessary and sufficient conditions for the direct product of two finitely generated semigroups to be finitely generated. Building on this, we prove the following. Let S and T be automatic semigroups; if S and T are infinite, then S × T is automatic if and only if S2 = S and T2 = T; if S is finite and T is infinite, then S × T is automatic if and only if S2 = S. As a consequence, we have that, if S and T are automatic semigroups, then S × T is automatic if and only if S × T is finitely generated.

Using the comparsion results for positive compact operators by Aliprantis and Burkinshow, Mokhtar Kharroubi investigated cimpactness properties of positive semigroups on Banach latttices. The aim of this paper is to study these properties in general Banach spaces (without positivity). Our results generalize a part fo those obtained by Mokhtar-Kharroubi to general Banach spaces context. More specifically, we derive conditions which ensure the compactness of the remainder term Rn(t) for some inteter n. The improvement here is that it can applied directly to the neutron transport equation for a wide class of collision operators.

One of the useful features of spectral measures which happen to be equicontinuous is that their associated integration maps are bicontinuous isomorphisms of the corresponding L1-space onto their ranges. It is shown here that equicontinuity is not necessary for this to be the case; a somewhat weaker property suffices. This is of some interest in practice since there are many natural examples of spectral measures which fail to be equiconontinuous.

We study Banach-Mazur compacta Q(n), that is, the sets of all isometry classes of n-dimensional Banach spaces topologized by the Banach-Mazur metric. Our main result is that Q(2) is homeomorphic to the compactification of a Hilbert cube manifold by a point, for we prove that Qg(2) = Q(2) / {Eucl.} is a Hilbert cube manifold. As a corollary it follows that Q(2) is not homogeneous.

This paper considers the estimation and filtering of fractional random fields, of which fractional Brownian motion and fractional Riesz-Bessel motion are important special cases. A least-squares solution to the problem is derived by using the duality theory and covariance factorisation of fractional generalised random fields. The minimum fractional duality order of the information random field leads to the most general class of solutions corresponding to the largest function space where the output random field can be approximated. The second-order properties that define the class of random fields for which the least-squares linear estimation problem is solved in a weak-sense are also investigated in terms of the covariance spectrum of the information random field.

In this paper, we first give a sufficient condition on the coefficients of a class of infinite time interval backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) under which the infinite time interval BSDEs have a unique solution for any given square integrable terminal value, and then, using the infinite time interval BSDEs, we study the convergence of g-martingales introduced by Peng via a kind of BSDEs. Finally, we study the applications of g-expectations and g-martingales in both finance and economics.

We characterize the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators between weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions and . we estimate the essential norm of a weighted composition operator and compute it for those Banach spaces which are isomorphic to c0. We also show that, when such an operator is not compact, it is an isomorphism on a subspace isomorphic to c0 or l∞. Finally, we apply these results to study composition operators between Bloch type spaces and little Bloch type spaces.

In this paper we prove a uniqueness theorem for minimal discs in R3 spanning a polygonal boundary.

Pointwise bounds for characters of representations of the classical, compact, connected, simple Lie groups are obtained with which allow us to study the singularity of central measures. For example, we find the minimal integer k such that any continuous orbital measure convolved with itself k times belongs to L2. We also prove that if k = rank G then μ 2k ∈ L1 for all central, continuous measures μ. This improves upon the known classical result which required the exponent to be dimension of the group G.

We provide a wedge decomposition of the homotopy type of the p-subgroup complex in the case of a finite solvable group G. In particular, this includes a new proof of the result of Quillen which says that this complex is contractible if and only if there is a non-trivial normal p-subgroup in G. We also provide reduction formulas for the G-module structure of the homology groups. Our results are obtained with diagram-methods by gluing the p-subgroup complex of G along the p-subgroup complex of = G/N for a normal p′-subgroup of G.

A minimal surface is a surface with vanishing mean curvature. In this paper we study self θ -congruent minimal surfaces, that is, surfaces which are congruent to their θ-associates under rigid motions in R3 for 0 ≤ θ < 2π. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of its Weierstrass pair for a surface to be self θ-congruent. We also construct some examples and give an application.

In this paper we prove that if a weight w satisfies the condition, then the Lp(w) norm of a one-sided singular integral is bounded by the Lp(w) norm of the one-sided Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, for 1 < p < q < ∞.
