Let $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n,n\ge 3$, and let $p,1<p<\infty ,p\ne 2$, be given. In this paper we study the dimension of $p$-harmonic measures that arise from non-negative solutions to the $p$-Laplace equation, vanishing on a portion of $\partial \Omega$, in the setting of $\delta$-Reifenberg flat domains. We prove, for $p\ge n$, that there exists $\tilde{\delta }=\tilde{\delta }(p,n)>0$ small such that if $\Omega$ is a $\delta$-Reifenberg flat domain with $\delta <\tilde{\delta }$, then $p$-harmonic measure is concentrated on a set of $\sigma$-finite $H^{n-1}$-measure. We prove, for $p\ge n$, that for sufficiently flat Wolff snowflakes the Hausdorff dimension of $p$-harmonic...

The harmonic Cesàro operator is defined for a function f in $L^p\left(ℝ\right)$ for some 1 ≤ p < ∞ by setting $\left(f\right)\left(x\right):={\int }_x^{\infty }(f\left(u\right)/u)du$ for x > 0 and $\left(f\right)\left(x\right):=-{\int }_{-\infty }^x(f\left(u\right)/u)du$ for x < 0; the harmonic Copson operator ℂ* is defined for a function f in $L{¹}_{loc}\left(ℝ\right)$ by setting $*\left(f\right)\left(x\right):=(1/x){\int }^{x₀}f\left(u\right)du$ for x ≠ 0. The notation indicates that ℂ and ℂ* are adjoint operators in a certain sense. We present rigorous proofs of the following two commuting relations: (i) If $f\in L^p\left(ℝ\right)$ for some 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, then ${\left(\left(f\right)\right)}^{\wedge }\left(t\right)=*\left(f̂\right)\left(t\right)$ a.e., where f̂ denotes the Fourier transform of f. (ii) If $f\in L^p\left(ℝ\right)$ for some 1 < p ≤ 2, then...

We consider the class ${\mathscr{H}}_0$ of sense-preserving harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ defined in the unit disk $\left|z\right|<1$ and normalized so that $h\left(0\right)=0=h^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)-1$ and $g\left(0\right)=0=g^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)$, where $h$ and $g$ are analytic in the unit disk. In the first part of the article we present two classes ${𝒫}_H^0\left(\alpha \right)$ and ${𝒢}_H^0\left(\beta \right)$ of functions from ${\mathscr{H}}_0$ and show that if $f\in {𝒫}_H^0\left(\alpha \right)$ and $F\in {𝒢}_H^0\left(\beta \right)$, then the harmonic convolution is a univalent and close-to-convex harmonic function in the unit disk provided certain conditions for parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are satisfied. In the second part we study the harmonic sections...

In the present paper we study the integral representation of nonnegative finely superharmonic functions in a fine domain subset $U$ of a Brelot $𝒫$-harmonic space $\Omega$ with countable base of open subsets and satisfying the axiom $D$. When $\Omega$ satisfies the hypothesis of uniqueness, we define the Martin boundary of $U$ and the Martin kernel $K$ and we obtain the integral representation of invariant functions by using the kernel $K$. As an application of the integral representation we extend to the cone...

The relationship between weighted Lipschitz functions and analytic Bloch spaces has attracted much attention. In this paper, we define harmonic $\omega$-$\alpha$-Bloch space and characterize it in terms of $$\omega \left(\right(1-{\left|x\right|}^2{)}^{\beta }{(1-|y|}^2{)}^{\alpha -\beta })\left|\frac{f\left(x\right)-f\left(y\right)}{x-y}\right|$$ and $$\omega \left(\right(1-{\left|x\right|}^2{)}^{\beta }{(1-|y|}^2{)}^{\alpha -\beta })\left|\frac{f\left(x\right)-f\left(y\right)}{\left|x\right|y-x^{\text{'}}}\right|$$ where $\omega$ is a majorant. Similar results are extended to harmonic little $\omega$-$\alpha$-Bloch and Besov spaces. Our results are generalizations of the corresponding ones in G. Ren, U. Kähler (2005).

The existence of at least one non-decreasing sequence of positive eigenvalues for the problem driven by both $p(·)$-Harmonic and $p(·)$-biharmonic operators $$\begin{array}{c}{\Delta }_{p\left(x\right)}^{2}u-{\Delta }_{p\left(x\right)}u=\lambda w\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{q\left(x\right)-2}u\text{in}\Omega ,\\ u\in W^{2,p(·)}\left(\Omega \right)\cap W_0^{1,p(·)}\left(\Omega \right),\end{array}$$ is proved by applying a local minimization and the theory of the generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces $L^{p(·)}\left(\Omega \right)$ and $W^{m,p(·)}\left(\Omega \right)$.

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}\left(\alpha \right)$ be a number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $f\left(x\right)=x^{18}-m$, $m\ne \mp 1$, is a square free rational integer. We prove that if $m\equiv 2$ or $3(\mathrm{mod}4)$ and $m\neg \equiv \mp 1(\mathrm{mod}9)$, then the number field $K$ is monogenic. If $m\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}4)$ or $m\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}9)$, then the number field $K$ is not monogenic.

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, ...

Let P and Q be nonzero integers. The sequences of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are defined by U₀ = 0, U₁ = 1 and $U_{n+1}=PUₙ-Q{U}_{n-1}$ for n ≥ 1, and V₀ = 2, V₁ = P and $V_{n+1}=PVₙ-Q{V}_{n-1}$ for n ≥ 1, respectively. In this paper, we assume that P ≥ 1, Q is odd, (P,Q) = 1, Vₘ ≠ 1, and $V_r\ne 1$. We show that there is no integer x such that $Vₙ=V_{r}Vₘx²$ when m ≥ 1 and r is an even integer. Also we completely solve the equation $Vₙ=VₘV_{r}x²$ for m ≥ 1 and r ≥ 1 when Q ≡ 7 (mod 8) and x is an even integer. Then we show that when P ≡ 3 (mod 4) and...

Let us consider two closed surfaces $ℳ$, $𝒩$ of class $C^1$ and two functions $\varphi :ℳ\to ℝ$, $\psi :𝒩\to ℝ$ of class $C^1$, called measuring functions. The natural pseudodistance $d$ between the pairs $(ℳ,)$, $(𝒩,\psi )$ is defined as the infimum of $\Theta \left(f\right):={max}_{P\in ℳ}\left|\varphi \left(P\right)-\psi \left(f\left(P\right)\right)\right|$ as $f$ varies in the set of all homeomorphisms from $ℳ$ onto $𝒩$. In this paper we prove that the natural pseudodistance equals either $|c_1-c_2|$, $\frac{1}{2}\left|c_1-c_2\right|$, or $\frac{1}{3}\left|c_1-c_2\right|$, where $c_1$ and $c_2$ are two suitable critical values of the measuring functions. This shows that a previous relation between the natural pseudodistance and...

Let $(X,d,\mu )$ be a metric measure space satisfying the doubling condition and an $L^2$-Poincaré inequality. Consider the nonnegative operator $ℒ$ generalized by a Dirichlet form on $X$. We will show that a solution $u$ to $(-{\partial }_t^2+ℒ)u=0$ on $X\times {ℝ}_{+}$ satisfies an $\alpha$-Carleson condition if and only if $u$ can be represented as the Poisson integral of the operator $ℒ$ with the trace in the generalized Morrey space $L^{2,\alpha }\left(X\right)$, where $\alpha$ is a nonnegative function defined on a class of balls in $X$. This result extends the analogous characterization...

We construct biharmonic non-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ and $(N,h)$ by first making the ansatz that $\varphi :(M,g)\to (N,h)$ be a harmonic map and then deforming the metric on $N$ by $${\tilde{h}}_{\alpha }=\alpha h+(1-\alpha )df\otimes df$$ to render $\varphi$ biharmonic, where $f$ is a smooth function with gradient of constant norm on $(N,h)$ and $\alpha \in (0,1)$. We construct new examples of biharmonic non-harmonic maps, and we characterize the biharmonicity of some curves on Riemannian manifolds.

Let ${\left(h_k\right)}_{k\ge 0}$ be the Haar system on [0,1]. We show that for any vectors $a_k$ from a separable Hilbert space and any ${\epsilon }_k\in [-1,1]$, k = 0,1,2,..., we have the sharp inequality $\left|\right|{\sum }_{k=0}^n{\epsilon }_k{a}_k{h}_k{\left|\right|}_{W\left(\right[0,1\left]\right)}\le 2\left|\right|{\sum }_{k=0}^n{a}_k{h}_k{\left|\right|}_{L^{\infty }\left([0,1]\right)}$, n = 0,1,2,..., where W([0,1]) is the weak-$L^{\infty }$ space introduced by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley. The above estimate is generalized to the sharp weak-type bound ${\left|\right|Y\left|\right|}_{W\left(\Omega \right)}{\le 2\left|\right|X\left|\right|}_{L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)}$, where X and Y stand for -valued martingales such that Y is differentially subordinate to X. An application to harmonic functions on Euclidean domains is presented.

In this paper we study some potential theoretical properties of solutions and super-solutions of some PDE systems (S) of type $L_{1}u=-{\mu }_{1}v$, $L_{2}v=-{\mu }_{2}u$, on a domain $D$ of ${ℝ}^d$, where ${\mu }_1$ and ${\mu }_2$ are suitable measures on $D$, and $L_1$, $L_2$ are two second order linear differential elliptic operators on $D$ with coefficients of class ${𝒞}^{\infty }$. We also obtain the integral representation of the nonnegative solutions and supersolutions of the system (S) by means of the Green kernels and Martin boundaries associated with $L_1$ and $L_2$, and...

Given an integer $n\ge 3$, let $u_1,...,u_n$ be pairwise coprime integers $\ge 2$, $𝒟$ a family of nonempty proper subsets of $\{1,...,n\}$ with “enough” elements, and $\epsilon$ a function $𝒟\to \{\pm 1\}$. Does there exist at least one prime $q$ such that $q$ divides ${\prod }_{i\in I}{u}_i-\epsilon \left(I\right)$ for some $I\in 𝒟$, but it does not divide $u_1\cdots u_n$? We answer this question in the positive when the $u_i$ are prime powers and $\epsilon$ and $𝒟$ are subjected to certain restrictions. We use the result to prove that, if ${\epsilon }_0\in \{\pm 1\}$ and $A$ is a set of three or more primes that contains all prime divisors of any...
