Let $(𝒪,\Sigma ,F_{\infty })$ be an arithmetic ring of Krull dimension at most 1, $𝒮=\mathrm{Spec}𝒪$ and $(\pi :𝒳\to 𝒮;{\sigma }_1,...,{\sigma }_n)$ an $n$-pointed stable curve of genus $g$. Write $𝒰=𝒳\setminus {\cup }_j{\sigma }_j\left(𝒮\right)$. The invertible sheaf ${\omega }_{𝒳/𝒮}({\sigma }_1+\cdots +{\sigma }_n)$ inherits a hermitian structure ${\parallel ·\parallel }_{\mathrm{hyp}}$ from the dual of the hyperbolic metric on the Riemann surface ${𝒰}_{\infty }$. In this article we prove an arithmetic Riemann-Roch type theorem that computes the arithmetic self-intersection of ${\omega }_{𝒳/𝒮}{({\sigma }_1+...+{\sigma }_n)}_{\mathrm{hyp}}$. The theorem is applied to modular curves $X\left(\Gamma \right)$, $\Gamma ={\Gamma }_0\left(p\right)$ or ${\Gamma }_1\left(p\right)$, $p\ge 11$ prime, with sections given by the cusps. We show $Z^{\text{'}}(Y\left(\Gamma \right),1)\sim e^a{\pi }^b{\Gamma }_2{(1/2)}^{c}L(0,{ℳ}_{\Gamma })$, with $p\equiv 11mod12$ when $\Gamma ={\Gamma }_0\left(p\right)$. Here $Z\left(Y\right(\Gamma ),s)$ is the Selberg...

For a real number $q>1$ and a positive integer $m$, let $Y_m\left(q\right):=\left\{{\sum }_{i=0}^n{ϵ}_i{q}^i:{ϵ}_i\in \left\{0,\pm 1,...,\pm m\right\},n=0,1,...\right\}$. In this paper, we show that $Y_m\left(q\right)$ is dense in $ℝ$ if and only if $q<m+1$ and $q$ is not a Pisot number. This completes several previous results and answers an open question raised by Erdös, Joó and Komornik [8].

In his seminal paper on arithmetic surfaces Faltings introduced a new invariant associated to compact Riemann surfaces $X$, nowadays called Faltings’s delta function and here denoted by ${\delta }_{\mathrm{Fal}}\left(X\right)$. For a given compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g_X=g$, the invariant ${\delta }_{\mathrm{Fal}}\left(X\right)$ is roughly given as minus the logarithm of the distance with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric of the point in the moduli space ${ℳ}_g$ of genus $g$ curves determined by $X$ to its boundary $\partial {ℳ}_g$. In this paper we begin by revisiting a formula derived...

General position properties play a crucial role in geometric and infinite-dimensional topologies. Often such properties provide convenient tools for establishing various universality results. One of well-known general position properties is DDⁿ, the property of disjoint n-cells. Each Polish $L{C}^{n-1}$-space X possessing DDⁿ contains a topological copy of each n-dimensional compact metric space. This fact implies, in particular, the classical Lefschetz-Menger-Nöbeling-Pontryagin-Tolstova embedding...

We give new results on square functions $${\parallel x\parallel }_F=\parallel {\left({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|F\left(tA\right)x\right|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t}\right)}^{1/2}{\parallel }_p$$ associated to a sectorial operator $A$ on $L^p$ for $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$. Under the assumption that $A$ is actually $R$-sectorial, we prove equivalences of the form $K^{-1}{\parallel x\parallel }_G\le {\parallel x\parallel }_F\le K{\parallel x\parallel }_G$ for suitable functions $F,G$. We also show that $A$ has a bounded $H^{\infty }$ functional calculus with respect to ${\parallel .\parallel }_F$. Then we apply our results to the study of conditions under which we have an estimate $\parallel {({\int }_0^{\infty }|C{\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}{\left(x\right)|}^2\mathrm{d}t{)}^{1/2}\parallel }_q\le M{\parallel x\parallel }_p$, when $-A$ generates a bounded semigroup ${\mathrm{e}}^{-tA}$ on $L^p$ and $C:D\left(A\right)\to L^q$ is a linear mapping.

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $[0,1]$ which is invariant and ergodic for $T_a\left(x\right)=ax\mathrm{𝚖𝚘𝚍}1$, and $0<\mathrm{𝚍𝚒𝚖}\mu <1$. Let $f$ be a local diffeomorphism on some open set. We show that if $E\subseteq ℝ$ and $\left(f\mu \right){\left|{}_E\sim \mu \right|}_E$, then $f^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\in \left\{\pm a^r:r\in \mathbb{Q}\right\}$ at $\mu$-a.e. point $x\in f^{-1}E$. In particular, if $g$ is a piecewise-analytic map preserving $\mu$ then there is an open $g$-invariant set $U$ containing supp $\mu$ such that $g\left|{}_U\right.$ is piecewise-linear with slopes which are rational powers of $a$. In a similar vein, for $\mu$ as above, if $b$ is another integer and $a,b$ are not powers of a common integer, and if $\nu$ is...

Let $a$ and $b\in \mathbb{N}$. Denote by $R_{a,b}$ the set of all integers $n>1$ whose canonical prime representation $n=p_1^{{\alpha }_1}{p}_2^{{\alpha }_2}\cdots p_r^{{\alpha }_r}$ has all exponents ${\alpha }_i$ $(1\le i\le r)$ being a multiple of $a$ or belonging to the arithmetic progression $at+b$, $t\in {\mathbb{N}}_0:=\mathbb{N}\cup \left\{0\right\}$. All integers in $R_{a,b}$ are called generalized square-full integers. Using the exponent pair method, an upper bound for character sums over generalized square-full integers is derived. An application on the distribution of generalized square-full integers in an arithmetic progression is given. ...

We consider the systems of hyperbolic equations ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S1) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$ ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S2) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{l(t,x)\left|v\right|}^m+k(t,x){\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S3) ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|u\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|v\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, in $(0,\infty )\times {ℝ}^N$ with u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), uₜ(0,x) = u₁(x), vₜ(0,x) = v₁(x). We show that, in each case, there exists a bound B on N such that for 1 ≤ N ≤ B solutions to the systems blow up in finite time.

Let $F$ be a closed subset of ${ℝ}^n$ and let $P\left(x\right)$ denote the metric projection (closest point mapping) of $x\in {ℝ}^n$ onto $F$ in $l^p$-norm. A classical result of Asplund states that $P$ is (Fréchet) differentiable almost everywhere (a.e.) in ${ℝ}^n$ in the Euclidean case $p=2$. We consider the case $2<p<\infty$ and prove that the $i$th component $P_i\left(x\right)$ of $P\left(x\right)$ is differentiable a.e. if $P_i\left(x\right)\ne x_i$ and satisfies Hölder condition of order $1/(p-1)$ if $P_i\left(x\right)=x_i$.

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 $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\ge 1$ over a number field $K$ with good reduction outside a finite set of places $S$ of $K$. We prove that $C$ has a Weierstrass model over the ring of integers of $K$ with height effectively bounded only in terms of $g$, $S$ and $K$. In particular, we obtain that for any given number field $K$, finite set of places $S$ of $K$ and integer $g\ge 1$ one can in principle determine the set of $K$-isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves over $K$ of genus $g$ with good reduction outside...

Let $P\left(z\right)={\sum }_{\nu =0}^n{a}_{\nu }{z}^{\nu }$ be a polynomial of degree at most $n$ which does not vanish in the disk $\left|z\right|<1$, then for $1\le p<\infty$ and $R>1$, Boas and Rahman proved $${∥P\left(Rz\right)∥}_p\le ({∥R^n+z∥}_p/{∥1+z∥}_p){∥P∥}_p.$$ In this paper, we improve the above inequality for $0\le p<\infty$ by involving some of the coefficients of the polynomial $P\left(z\right)$. Analogous result for the class of polynomials $P\left(z\right)$ having no zero in $\left|z\right|>1$ is also given.

The aim of this paper is to establish an existence and uniqueness result for a class of the set functional differential equations of neutral type$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{D}_{H}X\left(t\right)=F(t,X_t,D_H{X}_t),\hfill \\ {X|}_{[-r,0]}=\Psi ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $F:[0,b]\times {𝒞}_0\times {𝔏}_0^1\to K_c\left(E\right)$ is a given function, $K_c\left(E\right)$ is the family of all nonempty compact and convex subsets of a separable Banach space $E$, ${𝒞}_0$ denotes the space of all continuous set-valued functions $X$ from $[-r,0]$ into $K_c\left(E\right)$, ${𝔏}_0^1$ is the space of all integrally bounded set-valued functions $X:[-r,0]\to K_c\left(E\right)$, $\Psi \in {𝒞}_0$ and $D_H$ is the Hukuhara derivative. The continuous dependence of solutions on initial...
