We will consider the following problem $$-\Delta u-\lambda \frac{u}{{\left|x\right|}^2}={\left|\nabla u\right|}^p+cf,u\>0\text{in}\Omega ,$$ where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a domain such that $0\in \Omega$, $N\ge 3$, $c\>0$ and $\lambda \>0$. The main objective of this note is to study the precise threshold $p_{+}=p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$ for which there is novery weak supersolutionif $p\ge p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$. The optimality of $p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$ is also proved by showing the solvability of the Dirichlet problem when $1\le p\<p_{+}\left(\lambda \right)$, for $c\>0$ small enough and $f\ge 0$ under some hypotheses that we will prescribe.

Let $p=1+2^{e+1}q$ be an odd prime number with q an odd integer. Let δ (resp. φ) be an odd (resp. even) Dirichlet character of conductor p and order $2^{e+1}$ (resp. order $d_{\phi }$ dividing q), and let ψₙ be an even character of conductor $p^{n+1}$ and order pⁿ. We put χ = δφψₙ, whose value is contained in $Kₙ=\mathbb{Q}\left({\zeta }_{(p-1)pⁿ}\right)$. It is well known that the Bernoulli number $B_{1,\chi }$ is not zero, which is shown in an analytic way. In the extreme cases $d_{\phi }=1$ and q, we show, in an algebraic and elementary manner, a stronger nonvanishing result: $T{r}_{n/1}\left(\xi B_{1,\chi }\right)\ne 0$ for any...

For the dynamics $x^{\text{'}\text{'}}=-{\nabla }_{x}V\left(x\right)$, an equilibrium point $\underline{x}$ are always unstable when on a neighborhood of $\underline{x}$ the non constant $V$ satisfies $P(x,\partial )V=0$ for a real second order elliptic $P$. The proof uses a result of Kozlov [6].

A space $X$ is said to have the Rothberger property (or simply $X$ is Rothberger) if for every sequence $\langle {𝒰}_n:n\in \omega \rangle$ of open covers of $X$, there exists $U_n\in {𝒰}_n$ for each $n\in \omega$ such that $X={\bigcup }_{n\in \omega }{U}_n$. For any $n\in \omega$, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for $C_p{(\Psi \left(𝒜\right),2)}^n$ to have the Rothberger property when $𝒜$ is a Mrówka mad family and, assuming CH (the Continuum Hypothesis), we prove the existence of a maximal almost disjoint family $𝒜$ for which the space $C_p{(\Psi \left(𝒜\right),2)}^n$ is Rothberger for all $n\in \omega$.

We consider the equation $$-r\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)+q\left(x\right)y\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right),x\in ℝ$$ where $f\in L_p\left(ℝ\right)$, $p\in [1,\infty ]$ ($L_{\infty }\left(ℝ\right):=C\left(ℝ\right)$) and $$0<r\in C^{}\left(ℝ\right),0\le q\in L_1^{}\left(ℝ\right).$$ We obtain minimal requirements to the functions $r$ and $q$, in addition to (), under which equation () is correctly solvable in $L_p\left(ℝ\right)$, $p\in [1,\infty ]$.

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 consider the equation $$-y^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)+q\left(x\right)y(x-\varphi \left(x\right))=f\left(x\right),x\in ℝ,$$ where $\varphi$ and $q$ ($q\ge 1$) are positive continuous functions for all $x\in ℝ$ and $f\in C\left(ℝ\right)$. By a solution of the equation we mean any function $y$, continuously differentiable everywhere in $ℝ$, which satisfies the equation for all $x\in ℝ$. We show that under certain additional conditions on the functions $\varphi$ and $q$, the above equation has a unique solution $y$, satisfying the inequality $$\parallel y^{\text{'}}{\parallel }_{C\left(ℝ\right)}+{\parallel qy\parallel }_{C\left(ℝ\right)}\le c{\parallel f\parallel }_{C\left(ℝ\right)},$$ where the constant $c\in (0,\infty )$ does not depend on the choice of $f$.

Let ${\Phi }_1,...,{\Phi }_{k+1}$ (with $k\ge 1$) be vector fields of class $C^k$ in an open set $U{\subset }^{N+m}$, let $𝕄$ be a $N$-dimensional $C^k$ submanifold of $U$ and define $$𝕋:=\{z\in 𝕄:{\Phi }_1\left(z\right),...,{\Phi }_{k+1}\left(z\right)\in T_z𝕄\}$$ where $T_z𝕄$ is the tangent space to $𝕄$ at $z$. Then we expect the following property, which is obvious in the special case when $z_0$ is an interior point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$: If $z_0\in 𝕄$ is a $(N+k)$-density point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$ then all the iterated Lie brackets of order less or equal to $k$ $${\Phi }_{i_1}\left(z_0\right),[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}]\left(z_0\right),[[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}],{\Phi }_{i_3}]\left(z_0\right),...(h,i_h\le k+1)$$ belong to $T_{z_0}𝕄$. Such a property has been proved in [9] for $k=1$ and its proof in the...

Let $X$ be a $\mu$-symmetric Hunt process on a LCCB space $𝙴$. For an open set $𝙶\subseteq 𝙴$, let ${\tau }_{𝙶}$ be the exit time of $X$ from $𝙶$ and $A^{𝙶}$ be the generator of the process killed when it leaves $𝙶$. Let $r:[0,\infty [\to [0,\infty [$ and $R\left(t\right)={\int }_0^{t}r\left(s\right)\mathrm{d}s$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for ${𝔼}_{\mu }R\left({\tau }_{𝙶}\right)lt;\infty$ in terms of the behavior near the origin of the spectral measure of $-A^{𝙶}$. When $r\left(t\right)=t^l$, $l\ge 0$, by means of this condition we derive the Nash inequality for the killed process. In the diffusion case this permits to show that the existence of moments of order $l+1$ for ${\tau }_{𝙶}$...
