Canonical Vector Fields on Spheres.
This note gives a complete description of the cohomology algebra of any orientable Seifert manifold with ℤ/p coefficients, for an arbitrary prime p. As an application, the existence of a degree one map from an orientable Seifert manifold onto a lens space is completely determined. A second application shows that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for a large class of Seifert manifolds is equal to 3, which in turn is used to verify the Ganea conjecture for these Seifert manifolds.
As usual, let s = σ + it. For any fixed value of t with |t| ≥ 8 and for σ < 0, we show that |ζ(s)| is strictly decreasing in σ, with the same result also holding for the related functions ξ of Riemann and η of Euler. The following inequality related to the monotonicity of all three functions is proved: ℜ (η'(s)/η(s)) < ℜ (ζ'(s)/ζ(s)) < ℜ (ξ'(s)/ξ(s)). It is also shown that extending the above monotonicity result for |ζ(s)|, |ξ(s)|, or |η(s)| from σ <...
