Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic $p$. In this paper, we give a short proof using filter regular sequences that the set of associated prime ideals of $H_{I}^{t}(R)$ is finite for any ideal $I$ and for any $t\geqslant 0$ when $R$ has finite $F$-representation type or finite singular locus. This extends a previous result by Takagi–Takahashi and gives affirmative answers for a problem of Huneke in many new classes of rings in positive characteristic. We also give a criterion about the singularities of $R$ (in any characteristic) to guarantee that the set $\operatorname{Ass}H_{I}^{2}(R)$ is always finite.

Ringel’s right-strongly quasi-hereditary algebras are a distinguished class of quasi-hereditary algebras of Cline–Parshall–Scott. We give characterizations of these algebras in terms of heredity chains and right rejective subcategories. We prove that any artin algebra of global dimension at most two is right-strongly quasi-hereditary. Moreover we show that the Auslander algebra of a representation-finite algebra $A$ is strongly quasi-hereditary if and only if $A$ is a Nakayama algebra.

Let $A$ be an expansive dilation on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\times [0,\infty )\rightarrow [0,\infty )$ an anisotropic growth function. In this article, the authors introduce the anisotropic weak Musielak–Orlicz Hardy space $\mathit{WH}_{A}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ via the nontangential grand maximal function and then obtain its Littlewood–Paley characterizations in terms of the anisotropic Lusin-area function, $g$-function or $g_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{\ast }$-function, respectively. All these characterizations for anisotropic weak Hardy spaces $\mathit{WH}_{A}^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ (namely, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(x,t):=t^{p}$ for all $t\in [0,\infty )$ and $x\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $p\in (0,1]$) are new. Moreover, the range of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ in the anisotropic $g_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{\ast }$-function characterization of $\mathit{WH}_{A}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ coincides with the best known range of the $g_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}^{\ast }$-function characterization of classical Hardy space $H^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ or its weighted variants, where $p\in (0,1]$.

Let $s\in \mathbb{R}$ and $0<p\leqslant \infty$. The fractional Fock–Sobolev spaces $F_{\mathscr{R}}^{s,p}$ are introduced through the fractional radial derivatives $\mathscr{R}^{s/2}$. We describe explicitly the reproducing kernels for the fractional Fock–Sobolev spaces $F_{\mathscr{R}}^{s,2}$ and then get the pointwise size estimate of the reproducing kernels. By using the estimate, we prove that the fractional Fock–Sobolev spaces $F_{\mathscr{R}}^{s,p}$ are identified with the weighted Fock spaces $F_{s}^{p}$ that do not involve derivatives. So, the study on the Fock–Sobolev spaces is reduced to that on the weighted Fock spaces.

We investigate products of certain double cosets for the symmetric group and use the findings to derive some multiplication formulas for the $q$-Schur superalgebras. This gives a combinatorialization of the relative norm approach developed in Du and Gu (A realization of the quantum supergroup$\mathbf{U}(\mathfrak{g}\mathfrak{l}_{m|n})$, J. Algebra 404 (2014), 60–99). We then give several applications of the multiplication formulas, including the matrix representation of the regular representation and a semisimplicity criterion for $q$-Schur superalgebras. We also construct infinitesimal and little $q$-Schur superalgebras directly from the multiplication formulas and develop their semisimplicity criteria.

The author gives the analytic properties of the Rankin–Selberg convolutions of two half-integral weight Maass forms in the plus space. Applications to the Koecher–Maass series associated with nonholomorphic Siegel–Eisenstein series are given.

Let $k$ be an imaginary quadratic field with $\operatorname{Cl}_{2}(k)\simeq V_{4}$. It is known that the length of the Hilbert $2$-class field tower is at least $2$. Gerth (On 2-class field towers for quadratic number fields with$2$-class group of type$(2,2)$, Glasgow Math. J. 40(1) (1998), 63–69) calculated the density of $k$ where the length of the tower is $1$; that is, the maximal unramified $2$-extension is a $V_{4}$-extension. In this paper, we shall extend this result for generalized quaternion, dihedral, and semidihedral extensions of small degrees.

Let $R$ be a two-sided Noetherian ring, and let $M$ be a nilpotent $R$-bimodule, which is finitely generated on both sides. We study Gorenstein homological properties of the tensor ring $T_{R}(M)$. Under certain conditions, the ring $R$ is Gorenstein if and only if so is $T_{R}(M)$. We characterize Gorenstein projective $T_{R}(M)$-modules in terms of $R$-modules.
