We introduce the concept of dissipative measure-valued solution to the complete Euler system describing the motion of an inviscid compressible fluid. These solutions are characterized by a parameterized (Young) measure and a dissipation defect in the total energy balance. The dissipation defect dominates the concentration errors in the equations satisfied by the Young measure. A dissipative measure-valued solution can be seen as the most general concept of solution to the Euler system retaining its structural stability. In particular, we show that a dissipative measure-valued solution necessarily coincides with a classical one on its life span provided they share the same initial data.

We give lower bounds for the Gordian distance and the unknotting number of handlebody-knots by using Alexander biquandle colorings. We construct handlebody-knots with Gordian distance 𝑛 and unknotting number 𝑛 for any positive integer 𝑛.

In connection with generalized cluster algebras we introduce a certain generalization of the celebrated Rogers dilogarithm, which we call the Rogers dilogarithms of higher degree. We show that there is an identity of these generalized Rogers dilogarithms associated with any period of seeds of a generalized cluster algebra.

We investigate the equisingularity question for 1-parameter deformation families of mixed polynomial functions 𝑓_𝑡(𝔃,𝔃̅) from the Newton polygon point of view. We show that if the members 𝑓_𝑡 of the family satisfy a number of elementary conditions, which can be easily described in terms of the Newton polygon, then the corresponding family of mixed hypersurfaces 𝑓_𝑡⁻¹(0) is Whitney equisingular (and hence topologically equisingular) and satisfies the Thom condition.

In preceding papers we gave estimates on string-lengths, string-cosines and zenith angles of trajectory-harps under the condition that sectional curvatures of the underlying manifold are bounded from above. In this paper we study the cases that equalities hold in these estimates. Refining the previous proofs we give conditions that trajectory-harps are congruent to trajectory-harps on a complex space form.

In this paper we classify vertex operator algebras with three conditions which arise from Virasoro minimal models: (A) the central charge and conformal weights are rational numbers, (B) the space spanned by characters of all simple modules of a vertex operator algebra coincides with the space of solutions of a modular linear differential equation of order 4 and (C) the dimensions of first three weight subspaces of a VOA are 1, 0 and 1, respectively. It is shown that vertex operator algebras which we concern have central charges 𝑐 = −46/3, −3/5, −114/7, 4/5, and are isomorphic to minimal models for 𝑐 = −46/3, −3/5 and ℤ₂-graded simple current extensions of minimal models for 𝑐 = −114/7, 4/5.

We prove local and global energy decay for the asymptotically periodic damped wave equation on the Euclidean space. Since the behavior of high frequencies is already mostly understood, this paper is mainly about the contribution of low frequencies. We show in particular that the damped wave behaves like a solution of a heat equation which depends on the H-limit of the metric and the mean value of the absorption index.

We develop a study on local polar invariants of planar complex analytic foliations at (ℂ²,0), which leads to the characterization of second type foliations and of generalized curve foliations, as well as to a description of the 𝐺𝑆𝑉-index. We apply it to the Poincaré problem for foliations on the complex projective plane ℙ²_ℂ, establishing, in the dicritical case, conditions for the existence of a bound for the degree of an invariant algebraic curve 𝑆 in terms of the degree of the foliation ℱ. We characterize the existence of a solution for the Poincaré problem in terms of the structure of the set of local separatrices of ℱ over the curve 𝑆. Our method, in particular, recovers the known solution for the non-dicritical case, deg(𝑆) ≤ deg(ℱ) + 2.

We prove that cubic fourfolds in a certain 10-dimensional family have finite-dimensional motive. The proof is based on the van Geemen–Izadi construction of an algebraic Kuga–Satake correspondence for these cubic fourfolds, combined with Voisin's method of “spread”. Some consequences are given.

We study the critical nonlinear Schrödinger equations \[ i\partial _{t}u+\frac{1}{2}\Delta u = \lambda \vert u\vert^{2/n}u, \quad (t,x) \in \mathbb{R}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{n}, \] in space dimensions 𝑛 ≥ 4, where 𝜆 ∈ ℝ. We prove the global in time existence of solutions to the Cauchy problem under the assumption that the absolute value of Fourier transform of the initial data is bounded below by a positive constant. Also we prove the two side sharp time decay estimates of solutions in the uniform norm.

Let 𝑀 be a compact complex manifold admitting a Kähler structure. A conformally Kähler, Einstein–Maxwell metric (cKEM metric for short) is a Hermitian metric 𝑔̃ on 𝑀 with constant scalar curvature such that there is a positive smooth function 𝑓 with 𝑔 = 𝑓²𝑔̃ being a Kähler metric and 𝑓 being a Killing Hamiltonian potential with respect to 𝑔. Fixing a Kähler class, we characterize such Killing vector fields whose Hamiltonian function 𝑓 with respect to some Kähler metric 𝑔 in the fixed Kähler class gives a cKEM metric 𝑔̃ = 𝑓⁻²𝑔. The characterization is described in terms of critical points of certain volume functional. The conceptual idea is similar to the cases of Kähler–Ricci solitons and Sasaki–Einstein metrics in that the derivative of the volume functional gives rise to a natural obstruction to the existence of cKEM metrics. However, unlike the Kähler–Ricci soliton case and Sasaki–Einstein case, the functional is neither convex nor proper in general, and often has more than one critical points. The last observation matches well with the ambitoric examples studied earlier by LeBrun and Apostolov–Maschler.

We investigate a second order elliptic differential operator 𝐴_𝛽,𝜇 on a bounded, open set Ω ⊂ ℝ^𝑑 with Lipschitz boundary subject to a nonlocal boundary condition of Robin type. More precisely we have 0 ≤ 𝛽 ∈ 𝐿^∞(∂Ω) and 𝜇: ∂Ω→ℳ(\overline{Ω}), and boundary conditions of the form \[ \partial_{\nu}^{\mathscr{A}}u(z)+\beta(z)u(z)=\int_{\overline{\Omega}}u(x)\mu(z)(\mathrm{d}x), \quad z\in\partial\Omega, \] where ∂_𝜈^𝒜 denotes the weak conormal derivative with respect to our differential operator. Under suitable conditions on the coefficients of the differential operator and the function 𝜇 we show that 𝐴_𝛽,𝜇 generates a holomorphic semigroup 𝑇_𝛽,𝜇 on 𝐿^∞(Ω) which enjoys the strong Feller property. In particular, it takes values in 𝐶(\overline{Ω}). Its restriction to 𝐶(\overline{Ω}) is strongly continuous and holomorphic. We also establish positivity and contractivity of the semigroup under additional assumptions and study the asymptotic behavior of the semigroup.

This paper deals with the elastic wave equation $(D_t^2 - L(x, D_{x'}, D_{x_n})) u(t, x', x_n)=0$ in the half-space $x_n>0$. In the constant coefficient case, it is known that the solution is represented by using the Cauchy integral $\int_c e^{ix_n\zeta} (I-L(\xi', \zeta))^{-1} d\zeta$. In this paper this representation is extended to the variable coefficient case, and an asymptotic solution with the similar Cauchy integral is constructed. In this case, the terms $\partial_x^\alpha \int_c e^{ix_n\zeta} (I-L(x,\xi',\zeta))^{-1} d\zeta$ appear in the inductive process. These do not become lower terms necessarily, and therefore the principal part of asymptotic solution is a little different from the form in the constant coefficient case.
