In (1) a measure λ∈M(ℝ) is constructed and shown to satisfy the following:

(i) is absolutely continuous, where denotes the measure with for all Borel sets E,

(ii) λ*λ = λ2 is singular,

(iii) λk = λk−1*λ is absolutely continuous for K ≧6.

§ 1. This paper deals with certain formulae which, though probably not all new, have not appeared in the text-books. They were suggested to the writer while engaged in discussing the expression for the intensity of the transmitted beam in the Lummer Gehrcke Interference Spectroscope, viz.

We study, from the point of view of abelian and Kummer surfaces and their moduli, the special quintic threefold known as Nieto's quintic. It is, in some ways, analogous to the Segre cubic and the Burkhardt quartic and can be interpreted as a moduli space of certain Kummer surfaces. It contains 30 planes and has 10 singular points: we describe how some of these arise from bielliptic and product abelian surfaces and their Kummer surfaces.

A new approach to fractional integrals of distributions on a half-line is suggested. The results admit an extension to a large class of Mellin convolutions.

A corollary of the main theorem presented in this note is a generalisation of the well-known result that a self-adjoint square root of a positive self-adjoint compact linear map in a Hilbert space is itself a compact linear map. The method used here exploits the techniques developed recently in the study of k-set contractions ((1), (2)).

In a paper which appeared in the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, Vol. XXXII., Session 1913–14,* I showed how the application of Laplace's transformation to certain linear differential equations enables us to solve some homogeneous integral equations of the first and second kinds, and I obtained, by an extension of this method, the solution of integral equations whose nucleus is of the form f(zt) or ef(z)f(t).

The purpose of this paper is to describe , the bordism module of unitary T-manifolds, where T denotes the circle group S1. We give both an algebraic and a geometric description. The algebraic result is

where I = (i(1), i(2),…i(2n)) runs through all finite ordered 2n-tuples (n≧0) of non-negative integers which satisfy the conditions (a) i(l) + i(2n)≠0 and (b) if i(2n)≠0 then i(2n)=≠. The isomorphism is also described geometrically and this leads to geometric generators of .

Using a combined dominant condition, we obtain general results concerning the complex oscillation for a class of homogeneous linear differential equations w(k) + + … + A1w′ + (A0 + A)w = 0 with k ≥ 2, which has been investigated by many authors. In particular, we discover that there exists a unique case that possesses k linearly independent zero-free solutions for these equations, and we resolve an open problem and simultaneously answer a question of Bank.

On donne deux cercles S et Σ, ayant pour centres les points O et ω, pour rayons r et ρ. Le cercle S est supposé intérieur au cercle Σ, et le point to intérieur au cercle S.

I. Tous les cercles T tangents extérieurement au cercle S et ortho gonaux au cercle Σ sont tangents à un troisième cercle fixe.

We characterize bilinear forms V on such that V(e, e) = ‖V‖ = 1 in terms of their matrices. For such V we prove that |V(x, y)|2≦φ(|x|2)ψ(|y|2) for all x, y, where φ(x)= V(x, e), ψ(y) = V(e, y). Some other properties of such forms are given.

The conjecture in question is that the proportion of the first n positive integers which are quadratic residues of an arbitrary prime p is bounded below by a positive. δ. This is established here as a corollary of a more general result concerning multiplicative functions; the problem of the sharp δ is left open.

Recently I have given a generalisation of the Laplace integral

in the form

where Wk, m (x) stands for Whittaker Functions.

In [3] we initiated our study of the automorphism groups of a certain class of near-rings. Specifically, let P be any complex polynomial and let P denote the near-ring of all continuous selfmaps of the complex plane where addition of functions is pointwise and the product fg of two functions f and g in P is defined by fg=f∘P∘g. The near-ring P is referred to as a laminated near-ring with laminating element P. In [3], we characterised those polynomials P(z)=anzn + an−1zn−1 +…+a0 for which Aut P is a finite group. We are able to show that Aut P is finite if and only if Deg P≧3 and ai ≠ 0 for some i ≠ 0, n. In addition, we were able to completely determine those infinite groups which occur as automorphism groups of the near-rings P. There are exactly three of them. One is GL(2) the full linear group of all real 2×2 nonsingular matrices and the other two are subgroups of GL(2). In this paper, we begin our study of the finite automorphism groups of the near-rings P. We get a result which, in contrast to the situation for the infinite automorphism groups, shows that infinitely many finite groups occur as automorphism groups of the near-rings under consideration. In addition to this and other results, we completely determine Aut P when the coefficients of P are real and Deg P = 3 or 4.

AHeyting algebra is an algebra H;∨,∧ →, 0,1) of type (2,2,2,0,0) for which H;∨,∧,0,1) is a bounded distributive lattice and → is the binary operation of relative pseudocomplementation (i.e., for a,b,c∈H,ac ∧≦birr c≦a→b). Associated with every subalgebra of a Heyting algebra is a separating set. Those corresponding to maximal subalgebras are characterized in Proposition 8 and, subsequently, are used in an investigation of Heyting algebras.
