On a number theoretic conjecture on positive integral points in a 5-dimensional tetrahedron and a sharp estimate of the Dickman–De Bruijn function

Ke-Pao Lin, Xue Luo, Stephen S.-T. Yau, Huaiqing Zuo (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

It is well known that getting the estimate of integral points in right-angled simplices is equivalent to getting the estimate of Dickman-De Bruijn function $ψ (x, y)$ which is the number of positive integers $\leq x$ and free of prime factors $> y$ . Motivating from the Yau Geometry Conjecture, the third author formulated the Number Theoretic Conjecture which gives a sharp polynomial upper estimate that counts the number of positive integral points in n-dimensional ( $n \geq 3$ ) real right-angled simplices. In this...

The generalized Hodge and Bloch conjectures are equivalent for general complete intersections

Claire Voisin (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We prove that Bloch’s conjecture is true for surfaces with $p_{g} = 0$ obtained as $0$ -sets $X_{σ}$ of a section $σ$ of a very ample vector bundle on a variety $X$ with “trivial” Chow groups. We get a similar result in presence of a finite group action, showing that if a projector of the group acts as $0$ on holomorphic $2$ -forms of $X_{σ}$ , then it acts as $0$ on $0$ -cycles of degree $0$ of $X_{σ}$ . In higher dimension, we also prove a similar but conditional result showing that the generalized Hodge conjecture for general $X_{σ}$ ...

On coarse embeddability into $ℓ_{p}$ -spaces and a conjecture of Dranishnikov

Piotr W. Nowak (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that the Hilbert space is coarsely embeddable into any $ℓ_{p}$ for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. It follows that coarse embeddability into ℓ₂ and into $ℓ_{p}$ are equivalent for 1 ≤ p < 2.

On a conjecture of Dekking : The sum of digits of even numbers

Iurie Boreico, Daniel El-Baz, Thomas Stoll (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $q \geq 2$ and denote by $s_{q}$ the sum-of-digits function in base $q$ . For $j = 0, 1, \dots, q - 1$ consider $# {0 \leq n < N : s_{q} (2 n) \equiv j (mod q)} .$ In 1983, F. M. Dekking conjectured that this quantity is greater than $N / q$ and, respectively, less than $N / q$ for infinitely many $N$ , thereby claiming an absence of a drift (or Newman) phenomenon. In this paper we prove his conjecture.

Characterization of the alternating groups by their order and one conjugacy class length

Alireza Khalili Asboei, Reza Mohammadyari (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $N (G)$ be the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . By Thompson’s conjecture, if $L$ is a finite non-abelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with a trivial center, and $N (G) = N (L)$ , then $L$ and $G$ are isomorphic. Recently, Chen et al. contributed interestingly to Thompson’s conjecture under a weak condition. They only used the group order and one or two special conjugacy class sizes of simple groups and characterized successfully sporadic simple groups (see Li’s PhD dissertation)....

The Jacobian Conjecture in case of "non-negative coefficients"

Ludwik M. Drużkowski (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

It is known that it is sufficient to consider in the Jacobian Conjecture only polynomial mappings of the form $F (x ₁, . . ., x_{n}) = x - H (x) : = (x ₁ - H ₁ (x ₁, . . ., x_{n}), . . ., x_{n} - H_{n} (x ₁, . . ., x_{n}))$ , where $H_{j}$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree 3 with real coefficients (or $H_{j} = 0$ ), j = 1,...,n and H’(x) is a nilpotent matrix for each $x = (x ₁, . . ., x_{n}) \in ℝ^{n}$ . We give another proof of Yu’s theorem that in the case of non-negative coefficients of H the mapping F is a polynomial automorphism, and we moreover prove that in that case $d e g F^{- 1} \leq {(d e g F)}^{i n d F - 1}$ , where $i n d F : = m a x i n d H^{'} (x) : x \in ℝ^{n}$ . Note that the above inequality is not true when the coefficients...

Invariance of the parity conjecture for $p$ -Selmer groups of elliptic curves in a $D_{2 p^{n}}$ -extension

Thomas de La Rochefoucauld (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

We show a $p$ -parity result in a $D_{2 p^{n}}$ -extension of number fields $L / K$ ( $p \geq 5$ ) for the twist $1 \oplus η \oplus τ$ : $W (E / K, 1 \oplus η \oplus τ) = {(- 1)}^{〈1 \oplus η \oplus τ, X_{p} (E / L)〉}$ , where $E$ is an elliptic curve over $K$ , $η$ and $τ$ are respectively the quadratic character and an irreductible representation of degree $2$ of $Gal (L / K) = D_{2 p^{n}}$ , and $X_{p} (E / L)$ is the $p$ -Selmer group. The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between $ε_{0}$ -factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3). We also give applications to the $p$ -parity conjecture...

On nonsingular polynomial maps of ℝ²

Nguyen Van Chau, Carlos Gutierrez (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider nonsingular polynomial maps F = (P,Q): ℝ² → ℝ² under the following regularity condition at infinity $(J_{\infty})$ : There does not exist a sequence $(p_{k}, q_{k}) \subset ℂ ²$ of complex singular points of F such that the imaginary parts $(ℑ (p_{k}), ℑ (q_{k}))$ tend to (0,0), the real parts $(ℜ (p_{k}), ℜ (q_{k}))$ tend to ∞ and $F (ℜ (p_{k}), ℜ (q_{k}))) \to a \in ℝ ²$ . It is shown that F is a global diffeomorphism of ℝ² if it satisfies Condition $(J_{\infty})$ and if, in addition, the restriction of F to every real level set $P^{- 1} (c)$ is proper for values of |c| large enough.

On a generalization of the Beiter Conjecture

Bartłomiej Bzdęga (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

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 $Φ_{n}$ is at least $(1 - ε) c_{w} M_{n}$ , 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 $l i m_{w \to \infty} c_{w}^{2^{- w}} \approx 0.71$ . 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₊.

Limits of log canonical thresholds

Tommaso de Fernex, Mircea Mustață (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $𝒯_{n}$ denote the set of log canonical thresholds of pairs $(X, Y)$ , with $X$ a nonsingular variety of dimension $n$ , and $Y$ a nonempty closed subscheme of $X$ . Using non-standard methods, we show that every limit of a decreasing sequence in $𝒯_{n}$ lies in $𝒯_{n - 1}$ , proving in this setting a conjecture of Kollár. We also show that $𝒯_{n}$ is closed in $𝐑$ ; in particular, every limit of log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties of fixed dimension is a rational number. As a consequence of this property, we see that in...

On a result by Clunie and Sheil-Small

Dariusz Partyka, Ken-ichi Sakan (2012)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

In 1984 J. Clunie and T. Sheil-Small proved ([2, Corollary 5.8]) that for any complex-valued and sense-preserving injective harmonic mapping $F$ in the unit disk $𝔻$ , if $F (𝔻)$ is a convex domain, then the inequality $| G (z_{2}) - G (z_{1}) | < | H (z_{2}) - H (z_{1}) |$ holds for all distinct points $z_{1}, z_{2} \in 𝔻$ . Here $H$ and $G$ are holomorphic mappings in $𝔻$ determined by $F = H + \bar{G}$ , up to a constant function. We extend this inequality by replacing the unit disk by an arbitrary nonempty domain $Ω$ in $ℂ$ and improve it provided $F$ is additionally a quasiconformal mapping...

On the Gauss-Lucas'lemma in positive characteristic

Umberto Bartocci, Maria Cristina Vipera (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

Similarity:

If $f(x)$ is a polynomial with coefficients in the field of complex numbers, of positive degree $n$ , then $f(x)$ has at least one root a with the following property: if $\mu\leq k\leq n$ , where $\mu$ is the multiplicity of $\alpha$ , then $f^{(k)}(\alpha)\neq 0$ (such a root is said to be a "free" root of $f(x)$ ). This is a consequence of the so-called Gauss-Lucas'lemma. One could conjecture that this property remains true for polynomials (of degree $n$ ) with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic $p>n$ (Sudbery's Conjecture). In this paper it...

Equidistribution towards the Green current

Vincent Guedj (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $f : ℙ^{k} \to ℙ^{k}$ be a dominating rational mapping of first algebraic degree $λ \geq 2$ . If $S$ is a positive closed current of bidegree $(1, 1)$ on $ℙ^{k}$ with zero Lelong numbers, we show – under a natural dynamical assumption – that the pullbacks $λ^{- n} {(f^{n})}^{*} S$ converge to the Green current $T_{f}$ . For some families of mappings, we get finer convergence results which allow us to characterize all $f^{*}$ -invariant currents.

The CR Yamabe conjecture the case $n = 1$

Najoua Gamara (2001)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $(M, θ)$ be a compact CR manifold of dimension $2 n + 1$ with a contact form $θ$ , and $L = (2 + 2 / n) Δ_{b} + R$ its associated CR conformal laplacien. The CR Yamabe conjecture states that there is a contact form $\tilde{θ}$ on $M$ conformal to $θ$ which has a constant Webster curvature. This problem is equivalent to the existence of a function $u$ such that $L u = u^{1 + 2 / n}$ , $u > 0$ on $M$ . D. Jerison and J. M. Lee solved the CR Yamabe problem in the case where $n \geq 2$ and $(M, θ)$ is not locally CR equivalent to the sphere $S^{2 n + 1}$ of $𝐂^{n}$ . In a join work with R. Yacoub, the CR Yamabe...

The local lifting problem for actions of finite groups on curves

Ted Chinburg, Robert Guralnick, David Harbater (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$ . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic $0$ the faithful continuous action $φ$ of a finite group $G$ on $k [[t]]$ . To each such $φ$ 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 $φ$ 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...

Manin’s and Peyre’s conjectures on rational points and adelic mixing

Alex Gorodnik, François Maucourant, Hee Oh (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $X$ be the wonderful compactification of a connected adjoint semisimple group $G$ defined over a number field $K$ . We prove Manin’s conjecture on the asymptotic (as $T \to \infty$ ) of the number of $K$ -rational points of $X$ of height less than $T$ , and give an explicit construction of a measure on $X (𝔸)$ , generalizing Peyre’s measure, which describes the asymptotic distribution of the rational points $𝐆 (K)$ on $X (𝔸)$ . Our approach is based on the mixing property of $L^{2} (𝐆 (K) ∖ 𝐆 (𝔸))$ which we obtain with a rate of convergence. ...

Coincidence for substitutions of Pisot type

Marcy Barge, Beverly Diamond (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $ϕ$ be a substitution of Pisot type on the alphabet $𝒜 = {1, 2, ..., d}$ ; $ϕ$ satisfies theif for every $i, j \in 𝒜$ , there are integers $k, n$ such that $ϕ^{n} (i)$ and $ϕ^{n} (j)$ have the same $k$ -th letter, and the prefixes of length $k - 1$ of $ϕ^{n} (i)$ and $ϕ^{n} (j)$ have the same image under the abelianization map. We prove that the strong coincidence condition is satisfied if $d = 2$ and provide a partial result for $d \geq 2$ .

Elements of large order on varieties over prime finite fields

Mei-Chu Chang, Bryce Kerr, Igor E. Shparlinski, Umberto Zannier (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $𝒱$ be a fixed algebraic variety defined by $m$ polynomials in $n$ variables with integer coefficients. We show that there exists a constant $C (𝒱)$ such that for almost all primes $p$ for all but at most $C (𝒱)$ points on the reduction of $𝒱$ modulo $p$ at least one of the components has a large multiplicative order. This generalises several previous results and is a step towards a conjecture of B. Poonen.

Moser's Inequality for a class of integral operators

Finbarr Holland, David Walsh (1995)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let 1 < p < ∞, q = p/(p-1) and for $f \in L^{p} (0, \infty)$ define $F (x) = (1 / x) ʃ_{0}^{x} f (t) d t$ , x > 0. Moser’s Inequality states that there is a constant $C_{p}$ such that $s u p_{a \leq 1} s u p_{f \in B_{p}} ʃ_{0}^{\infty} e x p [a x^{q} {| F (x) |}^{q} - x] d x = C_{p}$ where $B_{p}$ is the unit ball of $L^{p}$ . Moreover, the value a = 1 is sharp. We observe that $F = K_{1}$ f where the integral operator $K_{1}$ has a simple kernel K. We consider the question of for what kernels K(t,x), 0 ≤ t, x < ∞, this result can be extended, and proceed to discuss this when K is non-negative and homogeneous of degree -1. A sufficient condition on K is found for...

An effective proof of the hyperelliptic Shafarevich conjecture

Rafael von Känel (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 1$ 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 $g \geq 1$ one can in principle determine the set of $K$ -isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves over $K$ of genus $g$ with good reduction outside...
