Using Dwork's theory, the authors prove a broad generalization of his famous -adic formal congruences theorem. This enables them to prove certain -adic congruences for the generalized hypergeometric series with rational parameters; in particular, they hold for any prime number and not only for almost all primes. Furthermore, using Christol's functions, the authors provide an explicit formula for the “Eisenstein constant” of any hypergeometric series with rational parameters. As an application of these results, the authors obtain an arithmetic statement “on average” of a new type concerning the integrality of Taylor coefficients of the associated mirror maps. It contains all the similar univariate integrality results in the literature, with the exception of certain refinements that hold only in very particular cases.
The authors give the complete stably rational classification of algebraic tori of dimensions and over a field . In particular, the stably rational classification of norm one tori whose Chevalley modules are of rank and is given. The authors show that there exist exactly (resp. , resp. ) stably rational (resp. not stably but retract rational, resp. not retract rational) algebraic tori of dimension , and there exist exactly (resp. , resp. ) stably rational (resp. not stably but retract rational, resp. not retract rational) algebraic tori of dimension . The authors make a procedure to compute a flabby resolution of a -lattice effectively by using the computer algebra system GAP. Some algorithms may determine whether the flabby class of a -lattice is invertible (resp. zero) or not. Using the algorithms, the suthors determine all the flabby and coflabby -lattices of rank up to and verify that they are stably permutation. The authors also show that the Krull-Schmidt theorem for -lattices holds when the rank , and fails when the rank is ...
In this article the authors develop a new method to deal with maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules over non–isolated surface singularities. In particular, they give a negative answer on an old question of Schreyer about surface singularities with only countably many indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules. Next, the authors prove that the degenerate cusp singularities have tame Cohen–Macaulay representation type. The authors' approach is illustrated on the case of k as well as several other rings. This study of maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules over non–isolated singularities leads to a new class of problems of linear algebra, which the authors call representations of decorated bunches of chains. They prove that these matrix problems have tame representation type and describe the underlying canonical forms.
In this paper, the author presents a new method for finding identities for hypergeoemtric series, such as the (Gauss) hypergeometric series, the generalized hypergeometric series and the Appell-Lauricella hypergeometric series. Furthermore, using this method, the author gets identities for the hypergeometric series and shows that values of at some points can be expressed in terms of gamma functions, together with certain elementary functions. The author tabulates the values of that can be obtained with this method and finds that this set includes almost all previously known values and many previously unknown values.
This proceedings volume gathers together original articles and survey works that originate from presentations given at the conference Transient Transcendence in Transylvania, held in Brașov, Romania, from May 13th to 17th, 2019. The conference gathered international experts from various fields of mathematics and computer science, with diverse interests and viewpoints on transcendence. The covered topics are related to algebraic and transcendental aspects of special functions and special numbers arising in algebra, combinatorics, geometry and number theory. Besides contributions on key topics from invited speakers, this volume also brings selected papers from attendees.
This volume explores the climates, landscapes, ecosystems and hazards that comprise the Mediterranean world. It traces the development of the Mediterranean landscape over very long timescales and examines modern processes and key environmental issues in a wide range of settings. The Mediterranean is the only region on Earth where three continents meet and this interaction has produced a very distinctive Physical Geography. This book examines the landscapes and processes at the margins of these continents and the distinctive marine environment between them. Catastrophic earthquakes, explosive volcanic eruptions and devastating storms and floods are intimately bound up within the history and m...
This two-part volume represents the proceedings of the Fifth International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians, held at Tsinghua University, Beijing, in December 2010. The Congress brought together eminent Chinese and overseas mathematicians to discuss the latest developments in pure and applied mathematics. Included are 60 papers based on lectures given at the conference.
In this paper, the authors provide a combinatorial/numerical method to establish new hypercontractivity estimates in group von Neumann algebras. They illustrate their method with free groups, triangular groups and finite cyclic groups, for which they obtain optimal time hypercontractive inequalities with respect to the Markov process given by the word length and with an even integer. Interpolation and differentiation also yield general hypercontrativity for via logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The authors' method admits further applications to other discrete groups without small loops as far as the numerical part—which varies from one group to another—is implemented and tested on a comp...
Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary, Third Edition—winner of a 2015 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty) from The Text and Academic Authors Association—provides a thorough overview of the methods of paleoclimatic reconstruction and of the historical changes in climate during the past three million years. This thoroughly updated and revised edition systematically examines each type of proxy and elucidates the major attributes and the limitations of each. Paleoclimatology, Third Edition provides necessary context for those interested in understanding climate changes at present and how current trends in climate compare with changes that have occurred in the past. The te...
