    Numerical Campedelli surfaces are minimal surfaces of general type with vanishing geometric genus and canonical divisor with self-intersection 2. Although they have been studied by several authors, their complete classification is not known.
    In this paper we classify numerical Campedelli surfaces with an involution, i.e., an automorphism of order 2. First we show that an involution on a numerical Campedelli surface $S$ has either four or six isolated fixed points, and the bicanonical map of $S$ is composed with the involution if and only if the involution has six isolated fixed points. Then we study in detail each of the possible cases, describing also several examples.

    By the Fricke surfaces, we mean the cubic surfaces defined by the equation $p^2+q^2+r^2-pqr-k=0$ in the Euclidean 3-space with the coordinates $(p,q,r)$ parametrized by constant $k$. When $k=0$, it is naturally isomorphic to the moduli of once-punctured tori. It was Markoff who found the transformations, called Markoff transformations, acting on the Fricke surface. The transformation is typically given by $(p,q,r)\mapsto (r,q,rq-p)$ acting on $\boldsymbol{R}^3$ that keeps the surface invariant. In this paper we propose a way of interpolating the action of Markoff transformation. As a result, we show that one portion of the Fricke surface with $k=4$ admits a $\textrm{GL}(2,\boldsymbol{R})$-action extending the Markoff transformations.

    We study the solution of the heat equation with a strong absorption. It is well-known that the solution develops a dead-core in finite time for a large class of initial data. It is also known that the exact dead-core rate is faster than the corresponding self-similar rate. By using the idea of matching, we formally derive the exact dead-core rates under a dynamical theory assumption. Moreover, we also construct some special solutions for the corresponding Cauchy problem satisfying this dynamical theory assumption. These solutions provide some examples with certain given polynomial rates.

    We introduce the notion of a log smooth degeneration, which is a logarithmic analogue of the central fiber of some kind of degenerations of complex manifolds over polydiscs. Under suitable conditions, we construct a natural cohomological mixed Hodge complex on the reduction of a compact log smooth degeneration. In particular, we obtain mixed Hodge structures on the log de Rham cohomologies and $E_1$-degeneration of the log Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence for a certain kind of compact reduced log smooth degenerations.

    We study the global behavior of weakly stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold by using harmonic function theory. In particular, a complete oriented weakly stable minimal hypersurface in the Euclidean space must have only one end. Any complete noncompact weakly stable hypersurface with constant mean curvature $H$ in the 4 and 5 dimensional hyperbolic spaces has only one end under some restrictions on $H$.

    We define on a manifold $X$ a wedge product $S \wedge T$ of a closed positive $(1,1)$-current $S$, smooth outside a proper analytic subset $Y$ of $X$, and a positive pluriharmonic $(k,k)$-current $T$, when $k$ is less than the codimension of $Y$. Using this tool, we prove that if $M$ is a compact complex manifold of dimension $n \geq 3$, which is Kähler outside an irreducible curve, then $M$ carries a balanced metric.

    We shall consider the maximal cyclotomic extension of a finite algebraic number field and its two abelian extensions, the maximal abelian extension and the maximal abelian extension with certain restricted ramification. We shall investigate the structure of these Galois groups with the action of the cyclotomic Galois group.
