JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn dimension $d$, $\boldsymbol{Q}$-factorial Gorenstein toric Fano varieties with Picard number $\rho_X$ correspond to simplicial reflexive polytopes with $\rho_X+d$ vertices. Casagrande showed that any $d$-dimensional simplicial reflexive polytope has at most $3d$ and $3d-1$ vertices if $d$ is even and odd, respectively. Moreover, for $d$ even there is up to unimodular equivalence only one such polytope with $3d$ vertices, corresponding to the product of $d/2$ copies of a del Pezzo surface of degree six. In this paper we completely classify all $d$-dimensional simplicial reflexive polytopes having $3d-1$ vertices, corresponding to $d$-dimensional $\boldsymbol{Q}$-factorial Gorenstein toric Fano varieties with Picard number $2d-1$. For $d$ even, there exist three such varieties, with two being singular, while for $d > 1$ odd there exist precisely two, both being nonsingular toric fiber bundles over the projective line. This generalizes recent work of the second author.View full abstractDownload PDF (164K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe study entire solutions of a two-component competition system with Lotka-Volterra type nonlinearity in a lattice. It is known that this system has traveling wave front solutions and enjoys comparison principle. Based on these solutions, we construct some new entire solutions which behave as two traveling wave fronts moving towards each other from both sides of $x$-axis.View full abstractDownload PDF (112K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe give explicit MacPherson cycles for the Chern-MacPherson class of a closed affine algebraic variety $X$ and for any constructible function $\alpha$ with respect to a complex algebraic Whitney stratification of $X$.
We define generalized degrees of the global polar varieties and of the MacPherson cycles and we prove a global index formula for the Euler characteristic of $\alpha$. Whenever $\alpha$ is the Euler obstruction of $X$, this index formula specializes to the Seade-Tibar-Verjovsky global counterpart of the Lê-Teissier formula for the local Euler obstruction.View full abstractDownload PDF (162K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSKulkarni showed that, if $g$ is greater than three, any periodic map on the oriented surface of genus $g$ with period more than or equal to $4g$ is conjugate to a power of one of two types of periodic maps. In this paper, we show that, if $g$ is greater than 12, any periodic map on the surface with period more than or equal to $3g$ is conjugate to a power of one of four types of periodic maps.View full abstractDownload PDF (114K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSInspired by the all-important conformal invariance of harmonic maps on two-dimensional domains, this article studies the relationship between biharmonicity and conformality. We first give a characterization of biharmonic morphisms, analogues of harmonic morphisms investigated by Fuglede and Ishihara, which, in particular, explicits the conditions required for a conformal map in dimension four to preserve biharmonicity and helps producing the first example of a biharmonic morphism which is not a special type of harmonic morphism. Then, we compute the bitension field of horizontally weakly conformal maps, which include conformal mappings. This leads to several examples of proper (i.e., non-harmonic) biharmonic conformal maps, in which dimension four plays a pivotal role. We also construct a family of Riemannian submersions which are proper biharmonic maps.View full abstractDownload PDF (170K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn 2003, Shestakov-Umirbaev solved Nagata's conjecture on an automorphism of a polynomial ring. In the present paper, we reconstruct their theory by using the “generalized Shestakov-Umirbaev inequality”, which was recently given by the author. As a consequence, we obtain a more precise tameness criterion for polynomial automorphisms. In particular, we deduce that no tame automorphism of a polynomial ring admits a reduction of type IV.View full abstractDownload PDF (413K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe consider a nonlinear elliptic problem driven by the $p$-Laplacian and depending on a parameter. The right-hand side nonlinearity is concave, (i.e., $p$-sublinear) near the origin. For such problems we prove two multiplicity results, one when the right-hand side nonlinearity is $p$-linear near infinity and the other when it is $p$-superlinear. Both results show that there exists an open bounded interval such that the problem has five nontrivial solutions (two positive, two negative and one nodal), if the parameter is in that interval. We also consider the case when the parameter is in the right end of the interval.View full abstractDownload PDF (211K)
