Let L(s, χ) be the Dirichlet L-series associated with an f-periodic complex function χ. Let P(X) ∈ ℂ[X]. We give an expression for ∑^f_n=1 χ(n)P(n) as a linear combination of the L(-n, χ)'s for 0 ≤ n < deg P(X). We deduce some consequences pertaining to the Chowla hypothesis implying that L(s, χ) > 0 for s > 0 for real Dirichlet characters χ. To date no extended numerical computation on this hypothesis is available. In fact by a result of R. C. Baker and H. L. Montgomery we know that it does not hold for almost all fundamental discriminants. Our present numerical computation shows that surprisingly it holds true for at least 65% of the real, even and primitive Dirichlet characters of conductors less than 10⁶. We also show that a generalized Chowla hypothesis holds true for at least 72% of the real, even and primitive Dirichlet characters of conductors less than 10⁶. Since checking this generalized Chowla's hypothesis is easy to program and relies only on exact computation with rational integers, we do think that it should be part of any numerical computation verifying that L(s, χ) > 0 for s > 0 for real Dirichlet characters χ. To date, this verification for real, even and primitive Dirichlet characters has been done only for conductors less than 2·10⁵.

Let 𝓢 be a Serre class in the category of modules and 𝖆 an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R. We study the containment of Tor modules, Koszul homology and local homology in 𝓢 from below. With these results at our disposal, by specializing the Serre class to be Noetherian or zero, a handful of conclusions on Noetherianness and vanishing of the foregoing homology theories are obtained. We also determine when Tor^R_𝓼+t(R/𝖆, X) ≅ Tor^R_𝓼(R/𝖆, H^𝖆_t(X)).

Geodesic orbit spaces are homogeneous Finsler spaces whose geodesics are all orbits of one-parameter subgroups of isometries. Such Finsler spaces have vanishing S-curvature and hold the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem. In this paper, we obtain a complete description of invariant (α₁, α₂)-metrics on spheres with vanishing S-curvature. Also, we give a description of invariant geodesic orbit (α₁, α₂)-metrics on spheres. We mainly show that a Sp(n + 1)-invariant (α₁, α2)-metric on S⁴ⁿ⁺³ = Sp(n + 1)/Sp(n) is geodesic orbit with respect to Sp(n + 1) if and only if it is Sp(n + 1)Sp(1)-invariant. As an interesting consequence, we find infinitely many Finsler spheres with vanishing S-curvature which are not geodesic orbit spaces.

This paper is devoted to establishing certain L^p bounds for the generalized parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operators associated to surfaces generated by polynomial compound mappings with rough kernels given by h ∈ ∆_γ(ℝ₊) and Ω ∈ Wℱ_β(S^n-1) for some γ, β ∈ (1, ∞]. As applications, the corresponding results for the generalized parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operators related to the Littlewood-Paley g^*_λ functions and area integrals are also presented.

If a multiplicative function f is commutable with a quadratic form x² + xy + y², i.e., f(x² + xy + y²) = f(x)² + f(x) f(y) + f(y)², then f is the identity function. In other hand, if f is commutable with a quadratic form x² - xy + y², then f is one of three kinds of functions: the identity function, the constant function, and an indicator function for ℕ ＼ pℕ with a prime p.

A ring R is called a UN ring if every non unit of it can be written as product of a unit and a nilpotent element. We obtain results about lifting of conjugate idempotents and unit regular elements modulo an ideal I of a UN ring R. Matrix rings over UN rings are discussed and it is obtained that for a commutative ring R, a matrix ring M_n(R) is UN if and only if R is UN. Lastly, UN group rings are investigated and we obtain the conditions on a group G and a field K for the group algebra KG to be UN. Then we extend the results obtained for KG to the group ring RG over a ring R (which may not necessarily be a field).

In this paper we study a nudging continuous data assimilation algorithm for the three-dimensional Leray-α model, where measurement errors are represented by stochastic noise. First, we show that the stochastic data assimilation equations are well-posed. Then we provide explicit conditions on the observation density (resolution) and the relaxation (nudging) parameter which guarantee explicit asymptotic bounds, as the time tends to infinity, on the error between the approximate solution and the actual solution which is corresponding to these measurements, in terms of the variance of the noise in the measurements.

We classify lens spaces with the Milnor fillable contact structure that admit minimal symplectic fillings whose second Betti numbers are one.

The goal of this article is to introduce the concept of pseudo-weighted Browder spectrum when the underlying Hilbert space is not necessarily separable. To attain this goal, the notion of α-pseudo-Browder operator has been introduced. The properties and the relation of the weighted spectrum, pseudo-weighted spectrum, weighted Browder spectrum, and pseudo-weighted Browder spectrum have been investigated by extending analogous properties of their corresponding essential pseudo-spectrum and essential pseudo-weighted spectrum. The weighted spectrum, pseudo-weighted spectrum, weighted Browder, and pseudo-weighted Browder spectrum of the sum of two bounded linear operators have been characterized in the case when the Hilbert space (not necessarily separable) is a direct sum of its closed invariant subspaces. This exploration ends with a characterization of the pseudo-weighted Browder spectrum of the sum of two bounded linear operators defined over the arbitrary Hilbert spaces under certain conditions.

We show the existence of inductive limit in the category of C^*-ternary rings. It is proved that the inductive limit of C^*-ternary rings commutes with the functor 𝓐 in the sense that if (M_n, ϕ_n) is an inductive system of C^*-ternary rings, then $\lim_{\rightarrow}$ 𝓐(M_n) = 𝓐$(\lim_{\rightarrow}\;M_{n})$. Some local properties (such as nuclearity, exactness and simplicity) of inductive limit of C^*-ternary rings have been investigated. Finally we obtain $\lim_{\rightarrow}\;M_{n}^{**}$ = $(\lim_{\rightarrow}\;M_{n})^{**}$.

Let 𝖆 and 𝖇 be ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M a finitely generated R-module of finite dimension d > 0. In this paper, we obtain some results about the annihilators and attached primes of top local cohomology and top formal local cohomology modules. In particular, we determine Ann(𝖇 H^d_𝖆(M)), Att(𝖇 H^d_𝖆(M)), Ann(𝖇𝔉^d_𝖆(M)) and Att(𝖇𝔉^d_𝖆(M)).

We consider dual Toeplitz operators acting on the orthogonal complement of the Dirichlet space on the unit disk. We give a characterization of when a finite sum of products of two dual Toeplitz operators is equal to 0. Our result extends several known results by using a unified way.

In this paper, we show that a complete translating soliton Σ^m in ℝⁿ for the mean curvature flow is stable with respect to weighted volume functional if Σ satisfies that the L^m norm of the second fundamental form is smaller than an explicit constant that depends only on the dimension of Σ and the Sobolev constant provided in Michael and Simon [12]. Under the same assumption, we also prove that under this upper bound, there is no non-trivial f-harmonic 1-form of L²_f on Σ. With the additional assumption that Σ is contained in an upper half-space with respect to the translating direction then it has only one end.

With the notion of prime submodule defined by F. Raggi et al. we prove that the intersection of all prime submodules of a Goldie module M is a nilpotent submodule provided that M is retractable and M^(Λ)-projective for every index set Λ. This extends the well known fact that in a left Goldie ring the prime radical is nilpotent.

A generalized torsion element is an obstruction for a group to admit a bi-ordering. Only a few classes of hyperbolic knots are known to admit such an element in their knot groups. Among twisted torus knots, the known ones have their extra twists on two adjacent strands of torus knots. In this paper, we give several new families of hyperbolic twisted torus knots whose knot groups have generalized torsion. They have extra twists on arbitrarily large numbers of adjacent strands of torus knots.

We show that metric bisectors with respect to the Korányi metric in the Heisenberg group are spinal spheres and vice versa. We also calculate explicitly their horizontal mean curvature.

In this article, we find bases for the spaces of modular forms $M_2({\Gamma}_0(88),\;({\frac{d}{\cdot}}))$ for d = 1, 8, 44 and 88. We then derive formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by the diagonal quaternary quadratic forms with coefficients 1, 2, 11 and 22.

Applying the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction, we consider spectral stability of small amplitude stationary periodic solutions bifurcating from an equilibrium of the generalized Swift-Hohenberg equation. We follow the mathematical framework developed in [15, 16, 19, 23] to construct such periodic solutions and to determine regions in the parameter space for which they are stable by investigating the movement of the spectrum near zero as parameters vary.
