    Some results and problems on commutators
    Shanzhen Lu

    In this paper, the author introduces some late results and puts forward a few problems on commutators of many important operators in harmonic analysis, included the Bochner-Riesz operator below the critical index, the strongly singular integral operator, the pseudo-differential operator, a class of convolution operators with oscillatory kernel, the Marcinkiewicz integral operator, and the fractional integral operator with rough kernel.

    Nonexistence of block-transitive 6-designs
    Jing Chen, Weijun Liu

    In this paper, we prove that there are no nontrivial block-transitive 6-designs for k ⩽ 100. This supports the long-standing conjecture of Cameron and Praeger that there are no nontrivial block-transitive 6-designs.

    On minimal non-MSN-groups
    Pengfei Guo, Xiuyun Guo

    A finite group G is called an MSN-group if all maximal subgroups of the Sylow subgroups of G are subnormal in G. In this paper, we determinate the structure of non-MSN-groups in which all of whose proper subgroups are MSN-groups.

    Transmutation theory of a coquasitriangular weak Hopf algebra
    Guohua Liu, Quanguo Chen, Haixing Zhu

    Let H be a coquasitriangular quantum groupoid. In this paper, using a suitable idempotent element e in H, we prove that eH is a braided group (or a braided Hopf algebra in the category of right H-comodules), which generalizes Majid’s transmutation theory from a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra to a coquasitriangular weak Hopf algebra.

    F-Willmore submanifold in space forms
    Jin Liu, Huaiyu Jian

    We introduce an F-Willmore functional of submanifold in space forms, which generalizes the well-known Willmore functional. Its critical point is called the F-Willmore submanifold, for which the variational equation and Simons’ type integral inequality are obtained.

    Ring of invariants of general linear group over local ring Zpm
    Jizhu Nan, Yin Chen

    Let Zpm be the ring of integers modulo p m, where p is a prime and m ⩾ 1. The general linear group GL n(Zpm) acts naturally on the polynomial algebra A n:= Zpm[x 1, …, x n]. Denote by AnGL2(Zpm) the corresponding ring of invariants. The purpose of the present paper is to calculate this invariant ring. Our results also generalize the classical Dickson’s theorem.

    Remarks on α-strongly irreducible ideals
    M. J. Nikmehr, F. Fatahi

    In this article, we study α-irreducible and α-strongly irreducible ideals of a commutative ring. The relations between α-strongly irreducible ideals of a ring and α-strongly irreducible ideals of localization of the ring are also studied.

    Quadratic perturbations of a quadratic reversible center of genus one
    Linping Peng

    In this paper, we study a reversible and non-Hamitonian system with a period annulus bounded by a hemicycle in the Poincaré disk. It is proved that the cyclicity of the period annulus under quadratic perturbations is equal to two. This verifies some results of the conjecture given by Gautier et al.

    Growth and distortion theorems on subclasses of quasi-convex mappings in several complex variables
    Jianfei Wang, Taishun Liu, Jin Lu

    In this paper, the refining growth and covering theorems for f are established, where f is a quasi-convex mapping of order α and x = 0 is a zero of order k + 1 of f(x) − x. As an application, we obtain the upper and lower bounds on the distortion theorem of f(x) defined on the unit polydisc of ℂ n. The upper bound of the distortion theorem for f(x) defined on the unit ball of a complex Banach space is also given. Our results extend the growth and distortion theorems for convex functions of one complex variable to quasi-convex mappings of several complex variables.

    Xing Wang, Dachuan Xu, Xinyuan Zhao

    We consider the stochastic version of the facility location problem with service installation costs. Using the primal-dual technique, we obtain a 7-approximation algorithm.

    von Neumann’s mean ergodic theorem on complete random inner product modules
    Xia Zhang, Tiexin Guo

    We first prove two forms of von Neumann’s mean ergodic theorems under the framework of complete random inner product modules. As applications, we obtain two conditional mean ergodic convergence theorems for random isometric operators which are defined on L p(ℰ, H) and generated by measure-preserving transformations on Ω, where H is a Hilbert space, L p(ℰ, H) (1 ⩽ p < ∞) the Banach space of equivalence classes of H-valued p-integrable random variables defined on a probability space (Ω, ℰ, P), F a sub σ-algebra of ℰ, and L p(ℰ(E,H) the complete random normed module generated by L p(ℰ, H).

    Strongly irreducible operators and Cowen-Douglas operators on c 0, l p (1 ⩽ p < ∞)
    Yunnan Zhang, Huaijie Zhong

    This paper gives some sufficient conditions for the strongly irreducibility of operators which have the forms of upper triangular operator matrices on Banach spaces. Based on these results, strongly irreducible Cowen-Douglas operators of index n are constructed on c 0, l p (1 ⩽ p < ∞) for all 1 ⩽ n ⩽ ∞.

    On Lefschetz series
    Xu’an Zhao, Hongzhu Gao

    Let R = ⊕ i=0 R i be a connected graded commutative algebra over the field ℚ of rational numbers, and let f be a graded endomorphism of R. In this paper, we show that the Lefschetz series of f can be computed directly from the induced linear map Q(f) on the ℚ vector space of indecomposables of R. We give an explicit algorithm to compute the Lefschetz series of f from Q(f). The main tool we used is the graded algebra version of Gröbner basis theory. At the end of this paper, some examples and applications are given.

    Coquasitriangular Hopf group coalgebras and braided monoidal categories
    Meiling Zhu, Huixiang Chen, Libin Li

    Let π be a group, and let H be a Hopf π-coalgebra. We first show that the category M H of right π-comodules over H is a monoidal category and there is a monoidal endofunctor (F α, id, id) of M H for any απ. Then we give the definition of coquasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebras. Finally, we show that H is a coquasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebra if and only if M H is a braided monoidal category and (F α, id, id) is a braided monoidal endofunctor of M H for any απ.
