In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are middle/hyper doubly Seifert. By the definition of middle/hyper doubly Seifert knots, these knots admit Dehn surgery yielding either Seifert-fibered spaces or graph manifolds at a surface slope. We show that middle/hyper doubly Seifert twisted torus knots admit the latter, that is, non-Seifert-fibered graph manifolds whose decomposing pieces consist of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers.

With the motivation to extend the Zelasko's theorem on commutative algebras, it was shown in [2] that if n ∈ {3, 4} is fixed, A, B are commutative algebras and h : A → B is an n-Jordan homomorphism, then h is an n-ring homomorphism. In this paper, we extend this result for all n ≥ 3.

Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes are linear codes that intersect with their dual trivially. LCD cyclic codes have been known as reversible cyclic codes that had applications in data storage. Due to a newly discovered application in cryptography, interest in LCD codes has increased again. Although LCD codes over finite fields have been extensively studied so far, little work has been done on LCD codes over chain rings. In this paper, we are interested in structure of LCD codes over chain rings. We show that LCD codes over chain rings are free codes. We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for an LCD code C over finite chain rings in terms of projections of linear codes. We also showed the existence of asymptotically good LCD codes over finite chain rings.

In this paper, the author considers the nonparametric regression model with negatively orthant dependent random variables. The wavelet procedures are developed to estimate the regression function. For the wavelet estimator of unknown function g(·), the almost sure consistency is derived and the complete consistency is established under the mild conditions. Our results generalize and improve some known ones for independent random variables and dependent random variables.

In this paper, we study the properties of T satisfying [CTC, T] = 0 for some conjugation C where [R, S] := RS - SR. In particular, we show that if T is normal, then [CTC, C] = 0. Moreover, the class of operators T satisfy [CTC, T] = 0 is norm closed. Finally, we prove that if T is complex symmetric, then T is binormal if and only if [C|T|C, |T|] = 0.

Let m ∈ ℕ₀, p > 1 and $${\alpha}^{[m,p]}(x)\;:\;{\sqrt{x}},\;\{{\sqrt{\frac{(m+n-1)p-(m+n-2)}{(m+n)p-(m+n-1)}}}\}^{\infty}_{n=1}$$. In this paper, we consider the backward extensions of Bergman-type weighted shift W_α^[m,p](x). We consider its subnormality, k-hyponormality and positive quadratic hyponormality. Our results include all the results on Bergman weighted shift W_α(x) with m ∈ ℕ and $${\alpha}(x)\;:\;{\sqrt{x}},\;{\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+1}},\;{\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2}},\;{\sqrt{\frac{m+2}{m+3}},{\cdots}$$.

The aim of this paper is to show that for the one-sided symbolic system, there exist an uncountable distributively chaotic set contained in the set of irregularly recurrent points and an uncountable distributively chaotic set in a sequence contained in the set of proper positive upper Banach density recurrent points.

Recently, Lesieutre constructed a 6-dimensional projective variety X over any field of characteristic zero whose automorphism group Aut(X) is discrete but not finitely generated. As an application, he also showed that X is an example of a projective variety with infinitely many non-isomorphic real structures. On the other hand, there are also several finiteness results of real structures of projective varieties. The aim of this short paper is to give a sufficient condition for the finiteness of real structures on a projective manifold in terms of the structure of the automorphism group. To be more precise, in this paper we show that, when X is a projective manifold of any dimension≥ 2, if Aut(X) does not contain a subgroup isomorphic to the non-abelian free group ℤ ∗ ℤ, then there are only finitely many real structures on X, up to ℝ-isomorphisms.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. A proper ideal I of R is called 2-prime if for all a, b ∈ R such that ab ∈ I, then either a² or b² lies in I. In this paper, we study 2-prime ideals which are generalization of prime ideals. Our study provides an analogous to the prime avoidance theorem and some applications of this theorem. Also, it is shown that if R is a PID, then the families of primary ideals and 2-prime ideals of R are identical. Moreover, a number of examples concerning 2-prime ideals are given. Finally, rings in which every 2-prime ideal is a prime ideal are investigated.

We discuss two unrelated topics regarding Cops and Robbers, a well-known pursuit-evasion game played on a simple graph. First, we address a recent question of Breen et al. and prove the PSPACE-completeness of the cop throttling number, that is, the minimal possible sum of the number k of cops and the number capt(k) of moves that the robber can survive against k cops under the optimal play of both sides. Secondly, we revisit a teleporting version of the game due to Wagner; we disprove one of his conjectures and suggest a new related research problem.

It is shown that each sequence lying sufficiently close in the hyperbolic sense to a Q^#_p-sequence for a meromorphic function f in the unit disc is also a Q^#_p-sequence for f.

Mirror symmetry for del Pezzo surfaces was studied in [3] where they suggested that the mirror should take the form of a Landau-Ginzburg model with a particular type of elliptic fibration. This argument came from symplectic considerations of the derived categories involved. This problem was then considered again but from an algebro-geometric perspective by Gross, Hacking and Keel in [8]. Their construction allows one to construct a formal mirror family to a pair (S, D) where S is a smooth rational projective surface and D a certain type of Weil divisor supporting an ample or anti-ample class. In the case where the self intersection matrix for D is not negative semi-definite it was shown in [8] that this family may be lifted to an algebraic family over an affine base. In this paper we perform this construction for all smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least two and obtain explicit equations for the mirror families and present the mirror to dP₂ as a double cover of ℙ².

Let I be an ideal of Noetherian local ring (R, m) and M an artinian R-module. In this paper, we study colocalization of local homology modules. In fact we give Colocal-global Principle for the artinianness and minimaxness of local homology modules, which is a dual case of Local-global Principle for the finiteness of local cohomology modules. We define the representation dimension r^I (M) of M and the artinianness dimension a^I (M) of M relative to I by r^I (M) = inf{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not representable}, and a^I (M) = inf{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not artinian} and we will prove that i) a^I (M) = r^I (M) = inf{r^IR_𝖕 (_𝖕M) : 𝖕 ∈ Spec(R)} ≥ inf{a^IR_𝖕 (_𝖕M) : 𝖕 ∈ Spec(R)}, ii) inf{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not minimax} = inf{r^IR_𝖕 (_𝖕M) : 𝖕 ∈ Spec(R) ∖ {𝔪}}. Also, we define the upper representation dimension R^I (M) of M relative to I by R^I (M) = sup{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not representable}, and we will show that i) sup{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) ≠ 0} = sup{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not artinian} = sup{R^IR_𝖕 (_𝖕M) : 𝖕 ∈ Spec(R)}, ii) sup{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not finitely generated} = sup{i ∈ ℕ₀ : H^I_i (M) is not minimax} = sup{R^IR_𝖕 (_𝖕M) : 𝖕 ∈ Spec(R) ∖ {𝔪}}.

In this article, we establish some new second main theorems for meromorphic mappings of ℂ^m into ℙⁿ(ℂ), in which the truncated counting functions have different weights. As for application, we deal with the algebraic dependence problem of meromorphic mappings sharing moving hyperplanes in general position.

The fundamental idea of this article is to present an effective way to obtain the large groups in terms of the split extension obtained by a finite cyclic group and a free abelian group rank 2. The proof of the main result on largeness property of this specific split extension groups will be given by using the connection of large groups with the groups having deficiency one presentations.

Some modular representations of reflection groups related to Weyl groups are considered. The rational cohomology of the classifying space of a compact connected Lie group G with a maximal torus T is expressed as the ring of invariants, H*(BG; ℚ) ≅ H*(BT; ℚ)^W(G), which is a polynomial ring. If such Lie groups are locally isomorphic, the rational representations of their Weyl groups are equivalent. However, the integral representations need not be equivalent. Under the mod p reductions, we consider the structure of the rings, particularly for the Weyl group of symplectic groups Sp(n) and for the alternating groups A_n as the subgroup of W(SU(n)). We will ask if such rings of invariants are polynomial rings, and if each of them can be realized as the mod p cohomology of a space. For n = 3, 4, the rings under a conjugate of W(Sp(n)) are shown to be polynomial, and for n = 6, 8, they are non-polynomial. The structures of H*(BT^n-1; 𝔽_p)^A_n will be also discussed for n = 3, 4.

In this paper, we approximate the solution of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations by using a fully discrete finite element scheme based on the standard Galerkin method in space and implicit midpoint discretization in time. The proposed scheme guarantees the conservation of the total mass and the energy. First, a priori error estimates for the fully discrete Galerkin method is derived. Second, the existence of the approximated solution is proved by virtue of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. Moreover, the uniqueness of the solution is shown. Finally, convergence orders of the fully discrete Crank-Nicolson scheme are discussed. The end of the paper is devoted to some numerical experiments.

Let γt(G) and τ(G) denote the total domination number and vertex cover number of graph G, respectively. In this paper, we study the total domination number of the central tree C(T) for a tree T. First, a relationship between the total domination number of C(T) and the vertex cover number of tree T is discussed. We characterize the central trees with equal total domination number and independence number. Applying the first result, we improve the upper bound on the total domination number of C(T) and solve one open problem posed by Kazemnejad et al..

We study a dynamical system that was originally defined by Romik in 2008 using an old theorem of Berggren concerning Pythagorean triples. Romik's system is closely related to the Farey map on the unit interval which generates an additive continued fraction algorithm. We explore some number theoretical properties of the Romik system. In particular, we prove an analogue of Lagrange's theorem in the case of the Romik system on the unit quarter circle, which states that a point possesses an eventually periodic digit expansion if and only if the point is defined over a real quadratic extension field of rationals.
