Let A = ρ2∑i,jAijθi ⊗ θj and B = ρ2∑i,jBij θi ⊗ θj be the Blaschke tensor and the Möbius second fundamental form of the immersion x. Let D = A + λB be the para-Blaschke tensor of x, where λ is a constant. If x: Mn ↦ Sn + 1(1) is an n-dimensional para-Blaschke isoparametric hypersurface in a unit sphere Sn + 1(1) and x has three distinct Blaschke eigenvalues one of which is simple or has three distinct Möbius principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain the full classification theorems of the hypersurface.

Historical note. A non-orientable surface of genus 2 (meaning 2 cross-caps) is popularly known as the Klein bottle. However, the term Klein surface comes from Felix Klein's book “On Riemann's Theory of Algebraic Functions and their Integrals” (1882) where he introduced such surfaces in the final chapter.

A subgroup H of a finite group G is called SS-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that HK = G and H ∩ K is S-quasinormal in K. In this paper, we characterize the finite groups in which every subgroup is SS-supplemented and the influence of SS-supplementation of some subgroups on the structure of finite groups is considered. Some recent results on SS-quasinormal subgroups and C-supplemented subgroups are strengthened and enriched.

We prove that the inclusion of the space of gradient vector fields into the space of all vector fields on D2 non-vanishing in S1 is a homotopy equivalence.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the algebraic double S1-transfer, in particular the classes in the two-line of the Adams–Novikov spectral sequence which are the image of comodule primitives of the MU-homology of ℂP∞ × ℂP∞ via the algebraic double transfer. These classes are analysed by two related approaches: the first, p-locally for p ≥ 3, by using the morphism induced in MU-homology by the chromatic factorisation of the double transfer map together with the f′-invariant of Behrens (for p ≥ 5) (M. Behrens, Congruences between modular forms given by the divided β-family in homotopy theory, Geom. Topol.13(1) (2009), 319–357). The second approach (after inverting 6) uses the algebraic double transfer and the f-invariant of Laures (G. Laures, The topological q-expansion principle, Topology38(2) (1999), 387–425).

We give some extensions of classical results of Kellogg and Warschawski to a class ofquasiconformal (q.c.) mappings. Among the other results we prove that a q.c. mapping f, between two planar domains with smooth C1,α boundaries, together with its inverse mapping f−1, is C1,α up to the boundary if and only if the Beltrami coefficient μf is uniformly α Hölder continuous (0 < α < 1).

A-Weyl's theorem and property (ω), as two variations of Weyl's theorem, were introduced by Rakočević. In this paper, we study a-Weyl's theorem and property (ω) for functions of bounded linear operators. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for an operator T to satisfy that f(T) obeys a-Weyl's theorem (property (ω)) for all f ∈ Hol(σ(T)). Also we investigate the small-compact perturbations of operators satisfying a-Weyl's theorem (property (ω)) in the setting of separable Hilbert spaces.

For the Kronecker algebra, Zwara found in [14] an example of a module whose orbit closure is neither unibranch nor Cohen-Macaulay. In this paper, we explain how to extend this example to all representation-infinite algebras with a preprojective component.

Dedekind domains, Artinian serial rings and right uniserial rings share the following property: Every cyclic right module is a direct sum of uniform modules. We first prove the following improvement of the well-known Osofsky-Smith theorem: A cyclic module with every cyclic subfactor a direct sum of extending modules has finite Goldie dimension. So, rings with the above-mentioned property are precisely rings of the title. Furthermore, a ring R is right q.f.d. (cyclics with finite Goldie dimension) if proper cyclic (≇ RR) right R-modules are direct sums of extending modules. R is right serial with all prime ideals maximal and ∩n ∈ ℕJn = Jm for some m ∈ ℕ if cyclic right R-modules are direct sums of quasi-injective modules. A right non-singular ring with the latter property is right Artinian. Thus, hereditary Artinian serial rings are precisely one-sided non-singular rings whose right and left cyclic modules are direct sums of quasi-injectives.

We discuss the minimum of Willmore functional of torus in a Riemannian manifold N, especially for the case that N is a product manifold. We show that when N = S2 × S1, the minimum of W(T2) is 0, and when N = R2 × S1, there exists no torus having least Willmore functional. When N = H2(−c) × S1, and x = γ × S1, the minimum of W(x) is .

We show that [z, y]−1[z, x]−1[y, x]−1[z, y][z, x][y, x] = 1 is another defining law for the variety of 3-metabelian groups.

Let μ be a Borel measure on ℝ. The paper contains the proofs of the estimatesandHere A is a subset of ℝ, f is a μ-locally integrable function, μ is the uncentred maximal operator with respect to μ and cp,q, and Cp,q are finite constants depending only on the parameters indicated. In the case when μ is the Lebesgue measure, the optimal choices for cp,q and Cp,q are determined. As an application, we present some related tight bounds for the strong maximal operator on ℝn with respect to a general product measure.

Let G be a group such that, for any subgroup H of G, every automorphism of H can be extended to an automorphism of G. Such a group G is said to be of injective type. The finite abelian groups of injective type are precisely the quasi-injective groups. We prove that a finite non-abelian group G of injective type has even order. If, furthermore, G is also quasi-injective, then we prove that G = K × B, with B a quasi-injective abelian group of odd order and either K = Q8 (the quaternion group of order 8) or K = Dih(A), a dihedral group on a quasi-injective abelian group A of odd order coprime with the order of B. We give a description of the supersoluble finite groups of injective type whose Sylow 2-subgroup are abelian showing that these groups are, in general, not quasi-injective. In particular, the characterisation of such groups is reduced to that of finite 2-groups that are of injective type. We give several restrictions on the latter. We also show that the alternating group A5 is of injective type but that the binary icosahedral group SL(2, 5) is not.

In this corrigendum to the paper, “Goldie*-supplemented modules” [1], we present revised Propositions 3.7 and 3.12 and correct some typographical errors.

We study properties of -free numbers, that is numbers that are not divisible by any member of a set . First we formulate the most-used procedure for finding them (in a given set of integers) as easy-to-apply propositions. Then we use the propositions to consider Diophantine properties of -free numbers and their distribution on almost all short intervals. Results on -free numbers have implications to non-vanishing Fourier coefficients of cusp forms, so this work also gives information about them.

We prove that a semigroup generated by finitely many truncated convolution operators on Lp[0, 1] with 1 ≤ p < ∞ is non-supercyclic. On the other hand, there is a truncated convolution operator, which possesses irregular vectors.

Let d > 0 be a squarefree integer and denote by h = h(−d) the class number of the imaginary quadratic field . It is well known (see e.g. [25]) that for a given positive integer N there are only finitely many squarefree d's for which h(−d) = N. In [45], Saradha and Srinivasan and in [28] Le and Zhu considered the equation in the title and solved it completely under the assumption h(−d) = 1 apart from the case d ≡ 7 (mod 8) in which case y was supposed to be odd. We investigate the title equation in unknown integers (x, y, l, n) with x ≥ 1, y ≥ 1, n ≥ 3, l ≥ 0 and gcd(x, y) = 1. The purpose of this paper is to extend the above result of Saradha and Srinivasan to the case h(−d) ∈ {2, 3}.

Dimer models are a combinatorial tool to describe certain algebras that appear as noncommutative crepant resolutions of toric Gorenstein singularities. Unfortunately, not every dimer model gives rise to a noncommutative crepant resolution. Several notions of consistency have been introduced to deal with this problem. In this paper, we study the major different notions in detail and show that for dimer models on a torus, they are all equivalent.

We generalise statements known about Springer fibres associated to nilpotents with two Jordan blocks to Spaltenstein varieties. We study the geometry of generalised irreducible components (i.e. Bialynicki-Birula cells) and their pairwise intersections. In particular, we develop a graphical calculus that encodes their structure as iterated fibre bundles with ℂℙ1 as base spaces, and compute their cohomology. At the end, we present a connection with coloured cobordisms generalising the construction of Khovanov (M. Khovanov, A categorification of the Jones polynomial, Duke Math. J. 101(3) (2000), 359–426) and Stroppel (C. Stroppel, Parabolic category O, perverse sheaves on Grassmannians, Springer fibres and Khovanov homology, Compositio Mathematica145(4) (2009), 954–992).
