The author proved in 2018 that if $G$ is an open subset of a Hilbert space, $f_1,f_2:G\to ℝ$ continuous functions and $\omega$ a nontrivial modulus such that $f_1\le f_2$, $f_1$ is locally semiconvex with modulus $\omega$ and $f_2$ is locally semiconcave with modulus $\omega$, then there exists $f\in C_{\text{loc}}^{1,\omega }\left(G\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. This is a generalization of Ilmanen’s lemma (which deals with linear modulus and functions on an open subset of ${ℝ}^n$). Here we extend the mentioned result from Hilbert spaces to some superreflexive spaces, in particular to $L^p$ spaces, $p\in [2,\infty )$. We...

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...

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.

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 $p\>2$), 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, ...

In this paper, we consider solutions to the following chemotaxis system with general sensitivity $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\tau u_t=\Delta u-\nabla ·\left(u\nabla \chi \left(v\right)\right)\text{in}\Omega \times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ \eta v_t=\Delta v-v+u\text{in}\Omega \times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=0\text{on}\partial \Omega \times (0,\infty ).}\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ Here, $\tau$ and $\eta$ are positive constants, $\chi$ is a smooth function on $(0,\infty )$ satisfying ${\chi }^{\text{'}}(·)>0$ and $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of ${𝐑}^n$ ($n\ge 2$). It is well known that the chemotaxis system with direct sensitivity ($\chi \left(v\right)={\chi }_{0}v$, ${\chi }_0>0$) has blowup solutions in the case where $n\ge 2$. On the other hand, in the case where $\chi \left(v\right)={\chi }_{0}logv$ with $0<{\chi }_0\ll 1$, any solution to the system exists globally in time and is bounded. We present a sufficient condition for the boundedness...

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of positive integers and let $s\in \mathbb{N}$. We denote by $d^s$ the arithmetic function given by $d^s\left(n\right)={\left(d\left(n\right)\right)}^s$, where $d\left(n\right)$ is the number of positive divisors of $n$. Moreover, for every $\ell ,m\in \mathbb{N}$ we denote by ${\delta }^{s,\ell ,m}\left(n\right)$ the sequence $$\underset{m\text{-times}}{\underbrace{d^s(d^s(...d^s(d^s\left(n\right)+\ell )+\ell ...)+\ell )}}=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{d}^s\left(n\right)\hfill & \text{for}m=1,\hfill \\ d^s(d^s\left(n\right)+\ell )\hfill & \text{for}m=2,\hfill \\ d^s(d^s(d^s\left(n\right)+\ell )+\ell )\hfill & \text{for}m=3,\hfill \\ ⋮\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ We present classical and nonclassical notes on the sequence ${\left({\delta }^{s,\ell ,m}\left(n\right)\right)}_{m\ge 1}$, where $\ell$, $n$, $s$ are understood as parameters.

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 $\nu \left(3\right)\ge \frac{1}{63·{126}^2}$.

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...

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.
