We prove the existence of sequences ${\varrho ₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$, ϱₙ → 0⁺, and ${zₙ}_{n=1}^{\infty }$, |zₙ| = 1/2, such that for every α ∈ ℝ and for every meromorphic function G(z) on ℂ, there exists a meromorphic function $F\left(z\right)=F_{G,\alpha }\left(z\right)$ on ℂ such that $\varrho {ₙ}^{\alpha }F(nzₙ+n\varrho ₙ\zeta )$ converges to G(ζ) uniformly on compact subsets of ℂ in the spherical metric. As a result, we construct a family of functions meromorphic on the unit disk that is $Q_m$-normal for no m ≥ 1 and on which an extension of Zalcman’s Lemma holds.

The problem of uniqueness of an entire or a meromorphic function when it shares a value or a small function with its derivative became popular among the researchers after the work of Rubel and Yang (1977). Several authors extended the problem to higher order derivatives. Since a linear differential polynomial is a natural extension of a derivative, in the paper we study the uniqueness of a meromorphic function that shares one small function CM with a linear differential polynomial, and...

Let $k$ be a nonnegative integer or infinity. For $a\in ℂ\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ we denote by $E_k(a;f)$ the set of all $a$-points of $f$ where an $a$-point of multiplicity $m$ is counted $m$ times if $m\le k$ and $k+1$ times if $m>k$. If $E_k(a;f)=E_k(a;g)$ then we say that $f$ and $g$ share the value $a$ with weight $k$. Using this idea of sharing values we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions whose certain nonlinear differential polynomials share a nonzero polynomial with finite weight. The results of the paper improve and generalize the related results due to...

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact Kähler manifolds, and let $f:X\to Y$ be a dominant meromorphic map. Based upon a regularization theorem of Dinh and Sibony for DSH currents, we define a pullback operator $f^{♯}$ for currents of bidegrees $(p,p)$ of finite order on $Y$ (and thus forcurrent, since $Y$ is compact). This operator has good properties as may be expected. Our definition and results are compatible to those of various previous works of Meo, Russakovskii and Shiffman, Alessandrini and Bassanelli, Dinh and Sibony,...

We obtain the basic analytic properties, i.e. meromorphic continuation, polar structure and bounds for the order of growth, of all the nonlinear twists with exponents $\le 1/d$ of the $L$-functions of any degree $d\ge 1$ in the extended Selberg class. In particular, this solves the resonance problem in all such cases.

Let $X$ be a proper, smooth, geometrically connected curve over a $p$-adic field $k$. Lichtenbaum proved that there exists a perfect duality: $$\text{Br}\left(X\right)\times \text{Pic}\left(X\right)\to \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$$ between the Brauer and the Picard group of $X$, from which he deduced the existence of an injection of $\text{Br}\left(X\right)$ in ${\displaystyle \prod _{P\in X}\text{Br}\left(k_P\right)}$ where $P\in X$ and $k_P$ denotes the residual field of the point $P$. The aim of this paper is to prove that if $G=\tilde{G}$ is an $X_{et}$- scheme of semi-simple simply connected groups (s.s.s.c groups), then we can deduce from Lichtenbaum’s results...

Let $X$ denote either ${\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m$ or ${ℂ}^m$. We study certain analytic properties of the space ${ℰ}^n(X,gp)$ of ordered geometrically generic $n$-point configurations in $X$. This space consists of all $q=(q_1,\cdots ,q_n)\in X^n$ such that no $m+1$ of the points $q_1,\cdots ,q_n$ belong to a hyperplane in $X$. In particular, we show that for a big enough $n$ any holomorphic map $f:{ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)\to {ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$ commuting with the natural action of the symmetric group $𝐒\left(n\right)$ in ${ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$ is of the form $f\left(q\right)=\tau \left(q\right)q=(\tau \left(q\right)q_1,\cdots ,\tau \left(q\right)q_n)$, $q\in {ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)$, where $\tau :{ℰ}^n({\mathrm{ℂ\mathbb{P}}}^m,gp)\to \mathrm{𝐏𝐒𝐋}(m+1,ℂ)$ is an $𝐒\left(n\right)$-invariant holomorphic map. A similar result holds true for mappings of the configuration...

Let $\mathrm{T}$ be the family of all typically real functions, i.e. functions that are analytic in the unit disk $\Delta :=\{z\in ℂ:|z|<1\}$, normalized by $f\left(0\right)=f^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)-1=0$ and such that Im $z$ Im $f\left(z\right)$ $\ge 0$ for $z\in \Delta$. Moreover, let us denote: ${\mathrm{T}}^{\left(2\right)}:=\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\left(z\right)=-f(-z)\text{for}z\in \Delta \}$ and ${\mathrm{T}}^{M,g}:=\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\prec Mg\text{in}\Delta \}$, where $M>1$, $g\in \mathrm{T}\cap \mathrm{S}$ and $\mathrm{S}$ consists of all analytic functions, normalized and univalent in $\Delta$.We investigate  classes in which the subordination is replaced with the majorization and the function $g$ is typically real but does not necessarily univalent, i.e. classes $\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\ll Mg\text{in}\Delta \}$, where $M>1$, $g\in \mathrm{T}$, which we denote...

Let $ℐ$ be a coherent subsheaf of a locally free sheaf $𝒪\left(E_0\right)$ and suppose that $ℱ=𝒪\left(E_0\right)/ℐ$ has pure codimension. Starting with a residue current $R$ obtained from a locally free resolution of $ℱ$ we construct a vector-valued Coleff-Herrera current $\mu$ with support on the variety associated to $ℱ$ such that $\phi$ is in $ℐ$ if and only if $\mu \phi =0$. Such a current $\mu$ can also be derived algebraically from a fundamental theorem of Roos about the bidualizing functor, and the relation between these two approaches is discussed....

Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$. For each positive integer $r$ the birational $r$-gonality $s_r\left(C\right)$ of $C$ is the minimal integer $t$ such that there is $L\in {\text{Pic}}^t\left(C\right)$ with $h^0(C,L)=r+1$. Fix an integer $r\ge 3$. In this paper we prove the existence of an integer $g_r$ such that for every integer $g\ge g_r$ there is a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $s_{r+1}\left(C\right)/(r+1)>s_r\left(C\right)/r$, i.e. in the sequence of all birational gonalities of $C$ at least one of the slope inequalities fails.

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12}\left(V\right):=dim{H}^0(V,12K_V)\&gt;0$ and $P_{m_0}\left(V\right)\&gt;1$ for some positive integer $m_0\le 24$. A direct consequence is the birationality of the pluricanonical map ${\varphi }_m$ for all $m\ge 126$. Besides, the canonical volume $\text{Vol}\left(V\right)$ has a universal lower bound $\nu \left(3\right)\ge \frac{1}{63·{126}^2}$.

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\&gt;2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.

Let $D$ be an open set of a Stein manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ such that $H^k(D,𝒪)=0$ for $2\le k\le n-1$. We prove that $D$ is Stein if and only if every topologically trivial holomorphic line bundle $L$ on $D$ is associated to some Cartier divisor $𝔡$ on $D$.

We give in ${ℝ}^6$ a real analytic almost complex structure $J$, a real analytic hypersurface $M$ and a vector $v$ in the Levi null set at $0$ of $M$, such that there is no germ of $J$-holomorphic disc $\gamma$ included in $M$ with $\gamma \left(0\right)=0$ and $\frac{\partial \gamma }{\partial x}\left(0\right)=v$, although the Levi form of $M$ has constant rank. Then for any hypersurface $M$ and any complex structure $J$, we give sufficient conditions under which there exists such a germ of disc.

We prove a density version of the Carlson–Simpson Theorem. Specifically we show the following. For every integer $k\ge 2$ and every set $A$ of words over $k$ satisfying $\lim {\sup }_{n\to \infty }|A\cap {\left[k\right]}^n|/k^n>0$ there exist a word $c$ over $k$ and a sequence $\left(w_n\right)$ of left variable words over $k$ such that the set $c\cup \{c^{}{w}_0{\left(a_0\right)}^{}..{.}^{}{w}_n\left(a_n\right):n\in \mathbb{N}\text{and}{a}_0,...,a_n\in \left[k\right]\}$ is contained in $A$. While the result is infinite-dimensional its proof is based on an appropriate finite and quantitative version, also obtained in the paper.

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

In this paper, we examine a natural question concerning the divisors of the polynomial $x^n-1$: “How often does $x^n-1$ have a divisor of every degree between $1$ and $n$?” In a previous paper, we considered the situation when $x^n-1$ is factored in $\mathbb{Z}\left[x\right]$. In this paper, we replace $\mathbb{Z}\left[x\right]$ with ${𝔽}_p\left[x\right]$, where $p$ is an arbitrary-but-fixed prime. We also consider those $n$ where this condition holds for all $p$.

Let $E$ and $f$ be an Eisenstein series and a cusp form, respectively, of the same weight $k\ge 2$ and of the same level $N$, both eigenfunctions of the Hecke operators, and both normalized so that $a_1\left(f\right)=a_1\left(E\right)=1$. The main result we prove is that when $E$ and $f$ are congruent mod a prime $𝔭$ (which we take in this paper to be a prime of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ lying over a rational prime $p\&gt;2$), the algebraic parts of the special values $L(E,\chi ,j)$ and $L(f,\chi ,j)$ satisfy congruences mod the same prime. More explicitly, we prove that, under certain conditions, ...

We investigate how one can detect the dualizing property for a chain complex over a commutative local Noetherian ring $R$. Our focus is on homological properties of contracting endomorphisms of $R$, e.g., the Frobenius endomorphism when $R$ contains a field of positive characteristic. For instance, in this case, when $R$ is $F$-finite and $C$ is a semidualizing $R$-complex, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $C$ is a dualizing $R$-complex; (ii) $C\sim 𝐑{\mathrm{Hom}}_R{(}^{n}R,C)$ for some $n>0$; (iii) ${\mathrm{G}}_C{\text{-dim}}^{n}R<\infty$ and $C$ is derived...
