In this paper, we give an equivalent characterization for general (α, β)-metrics with reversible geodesics when the dimension of the manifold is greater than 2.

Let S and T be w-linked extension domains of a domain R with S ⊆ T. In this paper, we define what satisfying the w_R-GD property for S ⊆ T means and what being w_R- or w-GD domains for T means. Then some sufficient conditions are given for the w_R-GD property and w_R-GD domains. For example, if T is w_R-integral over S and S is integrally closed, then the w_R-GD property holds. It is also given that S is a w_R-GD domain if and only if S ⊆ T satisfies the w_R-GD property for each w_R-linked valuation overring T of S, if and only if S ⊆ (S[u])_w satisfies the w_R-GD property for each element u in the quotient field of S, if and only if S_𝔪 is a GD domain for each maximal w_R-ideal 𝔪 of S. Then we focus on discussing the relationship among GD domains, w-GD domains, w_R-GD domains, Prüfer domains, PνMDs and Pw_RMDs, and also provide some relevant counterexamples. As an application, we give a new characterization of Pw_RMDs. We show that S is a Pw_RMD if and only if S is a w_R-GD domain and every w_R-linked overring of S that satisfies the w_R-GD property is w_R-flat over S. Furthermore, examples are provided to show these two conditions are necessary for Pw_RMDs.

We study rigidity results for the Einstein metrics as the critical points of a family of known quadratic curvature functionals involving the scalar curvature, the Ricci curvature and the Riemannian curvature tensor, characterized by some pointwise inequalities involving the Weyl curvature and the traceless Ricci curvature. Moreover, we also provide a few rigidity results for locally conformally flat critical metrics.

Let H_n be the n-th harmonic number and let ν_n be its denominator. Shiu proved that there are infinitely many positive integers n with ν_n = ν_n+1. Recently, Wu and Chen proved that the set of positive integers n with ν_n = ν_n+1 has density one. They also proved that the same result is true for the denominators of alternating harmonic numbers. In this paper, we prove that the result is true for the denominators of 𝜀-harmonic numbers, where 𝜀 = {𝜀_i}^∞_i=1 is a pure recurring sequence with 𝜀_i ∈ {-1, 1}.

In this paper we mainly study existence and regularity of mild solutions to the parabolic-elliptic system of drift-diffusion type with small initial data in Fourier-Besov spaces. To be more detailed, we will explain that global-in-time mild solutions are well-posed and Gevrey regular by means of multilinear singular integrals and Fourier localization argument. Furthermore, we can get time decay rate estimate of mild solutions in Fourier-Besov spaces.

Let 𝒜_n be the class of analytic functions f(z) of the form f(z) = z + ∑^∞_k=n+1 α_kz^k, n ∈ ℕ defined on the open unit disk 𝔻, and let $${\Omega}_n:=\{f{\in}{\mathcal{A}}_n:\|zf^{\prime}(z)-f(z)\|<{\frac{1}{2}},\;z{\in}{\mathbb{D}}\}$$. In this paper, we make use of differential subordination technique to obtain sufficient conditions for the class Ω_n. Writing Ω := Ω₁, we obtain inclusion properties of Ω with respect to functions which map 𝔻 onto certain parabolic regions and as a consequence, establish a relation connecting the parabolic starlike class 𝒮_P and the uniformly starlike UST. Various radius problems for the class Ω are considered and the sharpness of the radii estimates is obtained analytically besides graphical illustrations.

In this paper, we establish the boundedness of the m-linear Calderón-Zygmund operators on product of central Morrey spaces with variable exponent. The corresponding boundedness properties of their commutators with λ-central BMO symbols are also considered. Finally, we prove that the multilinear commutators of Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals introduced by Pérez and Trujillo-Gonález are bounded on central Morrey spaces with variable exponent. Our results improve and generalize some previous classical results to the variable exponent setting.

Widely orthant dependence (WOD, in short) is a special dependence structure. In this paper, by using the probability inequalities and moment inequalities for WOD random variables, we study the L_p convergence and complete convergence for the partial sums respectively under the conditions of RCI(α), SRCI(α) and R-h-integrability. We also give an application to nonparametric regression models based on WOD errors by using the L_p convergence that we obtained. Finally we carry out some simulations to verify the validity of our theoretical results.

Let G be a finite group and ${\sigma}_1(G)={\frac{1}{{\mid}G{\mid}}}\;{\sum}_{H{\leq}G}\;{\mid}H{\mid}$. Under some restrictions on the number of conjugacy classes of (non-normal) maximal subgroups of G, we prove that if ${\sigma}_1(G)<{\frac{117}{20}}$, then G is solvable. This partially solves an open problem posed in [9].

It is obtained that a localization of the vorticity direction coherence conditions for the regularity of the 3D shear thickening fluids to an arbitrarily small space-time cylinder. It implies the regularity of any geometrically constrained weak solution of the system considered independently of the type of the spatial domain or the boundary conditions.

We give a strong fundamental domain for the quotient of PGL₂(𝔽_q((t^-1))) by PGL₂(𝔽_q[t]) as a subset of distinct ordered triple points of ℙ¹(𝔽_q((t^-1))).

We discuss the decomposition of degree two basic cohomology for codimension four taut Riemannian foliation according to the holonomy invariant transversal almost complex structure J, and show that J is C^∞ pure and full. In addition, we obtain an estimate of the dimension of basic J-anti-invariant subgroup. These are the foliated version for the corresponding results of T. Draghici et al. [3].

A skew generalized power series ring R[[S, 𝜔]] consists of all functions from a strictly ordered monoid S to a ring R whose support contains neither infinite descending chains nor infinite antichains, with pointwise addition, and with multiplication given by convolution twisted by an action 𝜔 of the monoid S on the ring R. Special cases of the skew generalized power series ring construction are skew polynomial rings, skew Laurent polynomial rings, skew power series rings, skew Laurent series rings, skew monoid rings, skew group rings, skew Mal'cev-Neumann series rings, the "untwisted" versions of all of these, and generalized power series rings. In this paper we obtain some necessary conditions on R, S and 𝜔 such that the skew generalized power series ring R[[S, 𝜔]] is (uniquely) clean. As particular cases of our general results we obtain new theorems on skew Mal'cev-Neumann series rings, skew Laurent series rings, and generalized power series rings.

The present work is aimed at presenting some characteristic properties of functions that map open unit disk onto a lune in the right half plane. Furthermore, we introduce subclasses of functions with boundary and radius rotations which are related to crescent regions. Some useful results, which include coefficient inequalities and some subordination properties associated with these subclasses are derived. Consequently, related problems concerning these classes are also studied.

Let f be a meromorphic function of finite order ρ with few poles in the sense S_λ(r, f) := O(r^λ+ε) + S(r, f), where λ < ρ and ε ∈ (0, ρ - λ), and let g(f) := Σ^k_j=1b_j(z)f^(k_j)(z + c_j) be a linear delay-differential polynomial of f with small meromorphic coefficients b_j in the sense S_λ(r, f). The zero distribution of fⁿ(g(f))^s - b₀ is considered in this paper, where b₀ is a small function in the sense S_λ(r, f).

Let R ⊂ S be a Frobenius extension of rings and M a left S-module and let 𝓧 be a class of left R-modules and 𝒚 a class of left S-modules. Under some conditions it is proven that M is a 𝒚-Gorenstein left S-module if and only if M is an 𝓧-Gorenstein left R-module if and only if S ⊗_R M and Hom_R(S, M) are 𝒚-Gorenstein left S-modules. This statement extends a known corresponding result. In addition, the situations of Ding modules, Gorenstein AC modules and projectively coresolved Gorenstein flat modules are considered under Frobenius extensions.
