We establish appropriate $L^p$ estimates for a class of maximal operators $S_{\Omega}^{(\gamma)}$ on the product space $R^n\;\times\;R^m\;when\;\Omega$ lacks regularity and $1\;\le\;\gamma\;\le\;2.\;Also,\;when\;\gamma\;=\;2$, we prove the $L^p\;(2\;{\le}\;P\;<\;\infty)\;boundedness\;of\;S_{\Omega}^{(\gamma)}\;whenever\;\Omega$ is a function in a certain block space $B_q^{(0,0)}(S^{n-1}\;\times\;S^{m-1})$ (for some q > 1). Moreover, we show that the condition $\Omega\;{\in}\;B_q^{(0,0)}(S^{n-1}\;\times\;S^{m-1})$ is nearly optimal in the sense that the operator $S_{\Omega}^{(2)}$ may fail to be bounded on $L^2$ if the condition $\Omega\;{\in}\;B_q^{(0,0)}(S^{n-1}\;\times\;S^{m-1})$ is replaced by the weaker conditions $\Omega\;{\in}\;B_q^{(0,\varepsilon)}(S^{n-1}\;\times\;S^{m-1})\;for\;any\;-1\;<\;\varepsilon\;<\;0.$

The purpose of this paper is to study a Kenmotsu manifold which is derived from the almost contact Riemannian manifold with some special conditions. In general, we have some relations about semi-symmetric, Ricci semi-symmetric or Weyl semisymmetric conditions in Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we partially classify the Kenmotsu manifold and consider the manifold admitting a transformation which keeps Riemannian curvature tensor and Ricci tensor invariant.

In this article, we introduce the notion of pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first and second kinds and study surfaces of revolution with such Gauss map. Our main results state that surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind coincide with surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature; and the right cones are the only rational surfaces of revolution with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind.

Yu showed that every right (left) primitive factor ring of weakly right (left) duo rings is a division ring. It is not difficult to show that each weakly right (left) duo ring is abelian and has the classical right (left) quotient ring. In this note we first provide a left duo ring (but not weakly right duo) in spite of it being left Noetherian and local. Thus we observe conditions under which weakly one-sided duo rings may be two-sided. We prove that a weakly one-sided duo ring R is weakly duo under each of the following conditions: (1) R is semilocal with nil Jacobson radical; (2) R is locally finite. Based on the preceding case (1) we study a kind of composition length of a right or left Artinian weakly duo ring R, obtaining that i(R) is finite and $\alpha^{i(R)}R\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)}R\;for\;all\;\alpha\;{\in}\;R$, where i(R) is the index (of nilpotency) of R. Note that one-sided Artinian rings and locally finite rings are strongly $\pi-regular$. Thus we also observe connections between strongly $\pi-regular$ weakly right duo rings and related rings, constructing available examples.

We study Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which carry the space of closed conformal vector fields of at least 2-dimension. Subject to the condition that at each point the set of closed conformal vector fields spans a non-degenerate subspace of the tangent space at the point, we prove a global and a local classification theorems for such manifolds.

In this article we show that every quasi-homogeneous convex affine domain whose boundary is everywhere differentiable except possibly at a finite number of points is either homogeneous or covers a compact affine manifold. Actually we show that such a domain must be a non-elliptic strictly convex cone if it is not homogeneous.

We obtain the type set for the fractional integral operator along the curve $(t,t^2,\;{\alpha}t^3)$ on the three dimensional Heisenberg group when $\alpha\neq{\pm}1/6$. The proof is based on the Fourier inversion formula and the angular Littlewood-Paley decompositions in the Heisenberg group in [5].

This paper considers a discrete-time queueing system with variable service capacity. Using the supplementary variable method and the generating function technique, we compute the joint probability distribution of queue length and remaining service time at an arbitrary slot boundary, and also compute the distribution of the queue length at a departure time.

An operator T belonging to the algebra B(H) of bounded linear transformations on a Hilbert H into itself is said to be posinormal if there exists a positive operator $P{\in}B(H)$ such that $TT^*\;=\;T^*PT$. A posinormal operator T is said to be conditionally totally posinormal (resp., totally posinormal), shortened to $T{\in}CTP(resp.,\;T{\in}TP)$, if to each complex number, $\lambda$ there corresponds a positive operator $P_\lambda$ such that $|(T-{\lambda}I)^{\ast}|^{2}\;=\;|P_{\lambda}^{\frac{1}{2}}(T-{\lambda}I)|^{2}$ (resp., if there exists a positive operator P such that $|(T-{\lambda}I)^{\ast}|^{2}\;=\;|P^{\frac{1}{2}}(T-{\lambda}I)|^{2}\;for\;all\;\lambda)$. This paper proves Weyl's theorem type results for TP and CTP operators. If $A\;{\in}\;TP$, if $B^*\;{\in}\;CTP$ is isoloid and if $d_{AB}\;{\in}\;B(B(H))$ denotes either of the elementary operators $\delta_{AB}(X)\;=\;AX\;-\;XB\;and\;\Delta_{AB}(X)\;=\;AXB\;-\;X$, then it is proved that $d_{AB}$ satisfies Weyl's theorem and $d^{\ast}_{AB}\;satisfies\;\alpha-Weyl's$ theorem.

In this paper, we prove the existence of nonconstant bounded harmonic maps on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold of pinched negative curvature by solving the asymptotic Dirichlet problem. To be precise, given any continuous data f on the boundary at infinity with image within a ball in the normal range, we prove that there exists a unique harmonic map from the manifold into the ball with boundary value f.

A pair of pants $\Sigma(0,3)$ is a building block of oriented surfaces. The purpose of this paper is to formulate the matrix presentations of elements of the Teichmuller space of a pair of pants. In the level of the matrix group $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$, we shall show that an odd number of traces of matrix presentations of the generators of the fundamental group of $\Sigma(0,3)$ should be negative.

A continuous linear operator T, on the space of entire functions in d variables, is PDE-preserving for a given set $\mathbb{P}\;\subseteq\;\mathbb{C}|\xi_{1},\ldots,\xi_{d}|$ of polynomials if it maps every kernel-set ker P(D), $P\;{\in}\;\mathbb{P}$, invariantly. It is clear that the set $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ of PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$ forms an algebra under composition. We study and link properties and structures on the operator side $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ versus the corresponding family $\mathbb{P}$ of polynomials. For our purposes, we introduce notions such as the PDE-preserving hull and basic sets for a given set $\mathbb{P}$ which, roughly, is the largest, respectively a minimal, collection of polynomials that generate all the PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$. We also describe PDE-preserving operators via a kernel theorem. We apply Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.

We define the convolutions of Fourier hyperfunctions and show that every strongly decreasing Fourier hyperfunction is a convolutor for the space of Fourier hyperfunctions and the converse is true. Also we show that there are no differential operator with constant coefficients which have a fundamental solution in the space of strongly decreasing Fourier hyperfunctions. Lastly we show that the space of multipliers for the space of Fourier hyperfunctions consists of analytic functions extended to any strip in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which are estimated with a special exponential function exp$(\mu|\chi|)$.
