Let $X$ be a reduced nonsingular quasiprojective scheme over $\mathbb{R}$ such that the set of real rational points $X\left( \mathbb{R} \right)$ is dense in $X$ and compact. Then $X\left( \mathbb{R} \right)$ is a real algebraic variety. Denote by $H_{k}^{a\lg }\left( X\left( \mathbb{R} \right),\,\mathbb{Z}/2 \right)$ the group of homology classes represented by Zariski closed $k$-dimensional subvarieties of $X\left( \mathbb{R} \right)$. In this note we show that $H_{1}^{a\lg }\left( X\left( \mathbb{R} \right),\,\mathbb{Z}/2 \right)$ is a proper subgroup of ${{H}_{1}}\left( X\left( \mathbb{R} \right),\,\mathbb{Z}/2 \right)$ for a nonorientable hyperelliptic surface $X$. We also determine all possible groups $H_{1}^{a\lg }\left( X\left( \mathbb{R} \right),\,\mathbb{Z}/2 \right)$ for a real ruled surface $X$ in connection with the previously known description of all possible topological configurations of $X$.

We show that every compactum has cohomological dimension 1 with respect to a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$ whenever it has cohomological dimension 1 with respect to the abelianization of $G$. This is applied to the extension theory to obtain a cohomological dimension theory condition for a finite-dimensional compactum $X$ for extendability of every map from a closed subset of $X$ into a nilpotent $\text{CW}$-complex $M$ with finitely generated homotopy groups over all of $X$.

Let $c\,=\,\left( {{c}_{1}},\ldots ,{{c}_{n}} \right)$ be such that ${{c}_{1}}\,\ge \,\cdots \,\ge \,{{c}_{n}}$. The $c$-numerical range of an $n\,\times \,n$ matrix $A$ is defined by

$${{W}_{c}}\left( A \right)\,=\,\left\{ \sum\limits_{j=1}^{n}{{{c}_{j}}\left( A{{x}_{j}},\,{{x}_{j}} \right)\,:\,\left\{ {{x}_{1}},\ldots ,{{x}_{n}} \right\}\,\text{an}\,\text{orthonormal basis for }{{\mathbf{C}}^{n}}} \right\}\,,$$

and the $c$-numerical radius of $A$ is defined by ${{r}_{c}}\left( A \right)\,=\,\max \left\{ \left| z \right|\,:\,z\,\in \,{{W}_{c}}\left( A \right) \right\}$. We determine the structure of those linear operators $\phi$ on algebras of block triangular matrices, satisfying

$${{W}_{c}}\left( \phi \left( A \right) \right)={{W}_{c}}\left( A \right)\text{for}\,\,\text{all}\,\,A\,\text{or}\,\,{{r}_{c}}\left( \phi \left( A \right) \right)={{r}_{c}}\left( A \right)\text{for}\,\,\text{all}\,A.$$

Jacobi-like forms for a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \,\subset \,\text{SL}\left( 2,\,\mathbb{R} \right)$ are formal power series with coefficients in the space of functions on the Poincaré upper half plane satisfying a certain functional equation, and they correspond to sequences of certain modular forms. We introduce Hecke operators acting on the space of Jacobi-like forms and obtain an explicit formula for such an action in terms of modular forms. We also prove that those Hecke operator actions on Jacobi-like forms are compatible with the usual Hecke operator actions on modular forms.

There is a theorem, usually attributed to Napoleon, which states that if one takes any triangle in the Euclidean Plane, constructs equilateral triangles on each of its sides, and connects the midpoints of the three equilateral triangles, one will obtain an equilateral triangle. We consider an analogue of this problem in the hyperbolic plane.

In this paper the author prove that standard modules of classical groups whose Langlands quotients are generic are irreducible. This establishes a conjecture of Casselman and Shahidi for this important class of groups.

We give an explicit recipe for the determination of the images associated to the Galois action on $p$-torsion points of elliptic curves. We present a table listing the image for all the elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication with conductor less than 200 and for each prime number $p$.

Soit ${{H}_{0}}\,=\,\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}{2}$ un hamiltonien isochrone du plan ${{\mathbb{R}}^{2}}$. On met en évidence une classe d’hamiltoniens isochrones qui sont des perturbations polynomiales de ${{H}_{0}}$. On obtient alors une condition nécessaire d’isochronisme, et un critère de choix pour les hamiltoniens isochrones. On voit ce résultat comme étant une généralisation du caractère isochrone des perturbations hamiltoniennes homogènes considérées dans $\left[ \text{L} \right],\,\left[ \text{P} \right],\,\left[ \text{S} \right]$.

Irrational rotation ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras have an inductive limit decomposition in terms of matrix algebras over the space of continuous functions on the circle and this decomposition can be chosen to be invariant under the flip automorphism. It is shown that the flip is essentially the only toral automorphism with this property.

We continue to study the simplest closure conditions for chains of spectral transformations of the Laurent biorthogonal polynomials $\left( \text{LBP} \right)$. It is shown that the 1-1-periodic $q$-closure condition leads to the $\text{LBP}$ introduced by Pastro. We introduce classes of semi-classical and Laguerre-Hahn $\text{LBP}$ associated to generic closure conditions of the chain of spectral transformations.

In this paper, we establish the existence of positive solution of a nonlinear subelliptic equation involving the critical Sobolev exponent on the Heisenberg group, which generalizes a result of Brezis and Nirenberg in the Euclidean case.

We examine Hilbert bimodules which possess a (generally unbounded) involution. Topics considered include a linking algebra representation, duality, locality, and the role of these bimodules in noncommutative differential geometry

Motivated by a question of Per Enflo, we develop a hypercube criterion for locating linear isometric copies of $\ell _{1}^{\left( n \right)}$ in an arbitrary real normed space $X$.

The said criterion involves finding ${{2}^{n}}$ points in $X$ that satisfy one metric equality. This contrasts nicely to the standard classical criterion wherein one seeks $n$ points that satisfy ${{2}^{n-1}}$ metric equalities.

In this paper we prove that there is no nontrivial ${{L}^{q}}$-integrably $p$-harmonic 1-form on a complete manifold with nonnegatively Ricci curvature $\left( 0\,<\,q\,<\,\infty \right)$.
