The relative cohomology ${\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{diff}}^1(𝕂\left(1\right|3),\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3);{𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right))$ of the contact Lie superalgebra $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ with coefficients in the space of differential operators ${𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right)$ acting on tensor densities on $S^{1|3}$, is calculated in N. Ben Fraj, I. Laraied, S. Omri (2013) and the generating $1$-cocycles are expressed in terms of the infinitesimal super-Schwarzian derivative $1$-cocycle $s\left(X_f\right)=D_1{D}_2{D}_3\left(f\right){\alpha }_3^{1/2}$, $X_f\in 𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ which is invariant with respect to the conformal subsuperalgebra $\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3)$ of $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$. In this work we study the supergroup case. We give an explicit construction of $1$-cocycles...

Let X be a nice variety over a number field k. We characterise in pure “descent-type” terms some inequivalent obstruction sets refining the inclusion $X{{(}_k)}^{ét,Br}\subset X{{(}_k)}^{Br₁}$. In the first part, we apply ideas from the proof of $X{{(}_k)}^{ét,Br}=X{{(}_k)}^{{}_k}$ by Skorobogatov and Demarche to new cases, by proving a comparison theorem for obstruction sets. In the second part, we show that if $\subset {\subset }_k$ are such that $\subset Ext\left({,}_k\right)$, then $X{{(}_k)}^{}=X{{(}_k)}^{}$. This allows us to conclude, among other things, that $X{{(}_k)}^{ét,Br}=X{{(}_k)}^{{}_k}$ and $X{{(}_k)}^{Sol,Br₁}=X{{(}_k)}^{So{l}_k}$.

We prove that for every ε > 0 and every nonnegative integer w there exist primes $p_1,...,p_w$ such that for $n=p_1...p_w$ the height of the cyclotomic polynomial ${\Phi }_n$ is at least $(1-\epsilon )c_w{M}_n$, where $M_n={\prod }_{i=1}^{w-2}{p}_i^{2^{w-1-i}-1}$ and $c_w$ is a constant depending only on w; furthermore $li{m}_{w\to \infty }{c}_w^{2^{-w}}\approx 0.71$. In our construction we can have $p_i>h(p_1...p_{i-1})$ for all i = 1,...,w and any function h: ℝ₊ → ℝ₊.

Let $p$ be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category ${ℛ}_p$ of finite $p$-groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite $p$-groups among its objects. In ${ℛ}_p$, every finite $p$-group $P$ admits a canonical direct summand $\partial P$, called the edge of $P$. Moreover $P$ splits uniquely as a direct sum of edges of Roquette $p$-groups, and the tensor structure of ${ℛ}_p$ can be described in terms of such edges. The main motivation for considering this category is that the additive functors...

Let $F=(f_1,...,f_q)$ be a polynomial dominating map from ${ℂ}^n$ to ${ℂ}^q$. We study the quotient ${𝒯}^1\left(F\right)$ of polynomial 1-forms that are exact along the generic fibres of $F$, by 1-forms of type $\mathrm{d}R+\sum a_i\mathrm{d}{f}_i$, where $R,a_1,...,a_q$ are polynomials. We prove that ${𝒯}^1\left(F\right)$ is always a torsion $ℂ[t_1,...,t_q]$-module. Then we determine under which conditions on $F$ we have ${𝒯}^1\left(F\right)=0$. As an application, we study the behaviour of a class of algebraic $({ℂ}^p,+)$-actions on ${ℂ}^n$, and determine in particular when these actions are trivial.

We characterise the boundedness of the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of a sectorial operator in terms of dilation theorems. We show e. g. that if $-A$ generates a bounded analytic $C_0$ semigroup $\left(T_t\right)$ on a UMD space, then the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of $A$ is bounded if and only if $\left(T_t\right)$ has a dilation to a bounded group on $L^2([0,1],X)$. This generalises a Hilbert space result of C.LeMerdy. If $X$ is an $L^p$ space we can choose another $L^p$ space in place of $L^2([0,1],X)$.

Let ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ be the following algorithmic problem: Given a finite simplicial complex $K$ of dimension at most $k$, does there exist a (piecewise linear) embedding of $K$ into ${ℝ}^d$? Known results easily imply polynomiality of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2}$ ($k=1,2$; the case $k=1,d=2$ is graph planarity) and of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2k}$ for all $k\ge 3$. We show that the celebrated result of Novikov on the algorithmic unsolvability of recognizing the 5-sphere implies that ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{d\to d}$ and ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{(d-1)\to d}$ are undecidable for each ${}_d\ge 5$. Our main result is NP-hardness of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{2\to 4}$ and, more generally, of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ for all...

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≢ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{{|}^p)}^{1/p}$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and q ≥ 1 let ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ be the smallest value of k for which there is a polynomial Q of degree k with complex coefficients such that $\left|Q\left(0\right)\right|>1/L({\sum }_{j=1}^n{\left|Q\left(j\right)\right|}^q{)}^{1/q}$. We find the size of ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ and ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ for all n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. The result about ${\mu }_{\infty }(n,L)$ is due to Coppersmith and Rivlin, but our proof is completely different and much shorter even...

Given a topological space $X$, let $𝒰X$ and ${\eta }_X:X\to 𝒰X$ denote, respectively, the Salbany compactification of $X$ and the compactification map called the Salbany map of $X$. For every continuous function $f:X\to Y$, there is a continuous function $𝒰f:𝒰X\to 𝒰Y$, called the Salbany lift of $f$, satisfying $\left(𝒰f\right)\circ {\eta }_X={\eta }_Y\circ f$. If a continuous function $f:X\to Y$ has a stably compact codomain $Y$, then there is a Salbany extension $F:𝒰X\to Y$ of $f$, not necessarily unique, such that $F\circ {\eta }_X=f$. In this paper, we give a condition on a space such that its Salbany map is open. In...

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional manifold and $A={𝔻}_k^r/I=ℝ\oplus N_A$ a Weil algebra of height $r$. We prove that any $A$-covelocity $T_x^{A}f\in T_x^{A*}M$, $x\in M$ is determined by its values over arbitrary $max\{\mathrm{width}A,m\}$ regular and under the first jet projection linearly independent elements of $T_x^{A}M$. Further, we prove the rigidity of the so-called universally reparametrizable Weil algebras. Applying essentially those partial results we give the proof of the general rigidity result $T^{A*}M\simeq T^{r*}M$ without coordinate computations, which improves and generalizes the partial...

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\>0$. We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic $0$ the faithful continuous action $\phi$ of a finite group $G$ on $k\left[\right[t\left]\right]$. To each such $\phi$ a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of $G$ on a smooth projective curve $Y$ over $k$. We say that the KGB obstruction of $\phi$ vanishes if $G$ acts on a smooth projective curve $X$ in characteristic $0$ in such a way that $X/H$ and $Y/H$ have the same genus for all subgroups $H\subset G$. We determine for which $G$ the KGB...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...
