We study the parabolic Harnack inequality on metric measure spaces with the more general volume growth property than the volume doubling property. As applications we extend some Liouville theorems and heat kernel estimates for Riemannian manifolds to Alexandrov spaces satisfying a volume comparison condition of Bishop-Gromov type.
We express some basic properties of Deninger's conjectural dynamical system in terms of morphisms of topoi. Then we show that the current definition of the Weil-étale topos satisfies these properties. In particular, the flow, the closed orbits, the fixed points of the flow and the foliation in characteristic $p$ are well defined on the Weil-étale topos. This analogy extends to arithmetic schemes. Over a prime number $p$ and over the archimedean place of $\boldsymbol{Q}$, we define a morphism from a topos associated to Deninger's dynamical system to the Weil-étale topos. This morphism is compatible with the structure mentioned above.
The aim of our article is to generalize the Toponogov comparison theorem to a complete Riemannian manifold with smooth convex boundary. A geodesic triangle will be replaced by an open (geodesic) triangle standing on the boundary of the manifold, and a model surface will be replaced by the universal covering surface of a cylinder of revolution with totally geodesic boundary.
We present some new Stokes' type theorems on complete non-compact manifolds that extend, in different directions, previous works by Gaffney and Karp and also the so called Kelvin-Nevanlinna-Royden criterion for $p$-parabolicity. Applications to comparison and uniqueness results involving the $p$-Laplacian are deduced.
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant less than or equal to -7 and $K_{(N)}$ be its ray class field modulo $N$ for an integer $N$ greater than 1. We prove that the singular values of certain Siegel functions generate $K_{(N)}$ over $K$ by extending the idea of our previous work. These generators are not only the simplest ones conjectured by Schertz, but also quite useful in the matter of computation of class polynomials. We indeed give an algorithm to find all conjugates of such generators by virtue of the works of Gee and Stevenhagen.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a measurable function to be a low pass filter associated to a scaling function in a frame multiresolution analysis. Those conditions involve the class of real-valued bounded measurable functions such that the origin is a point of approximate continuity of such functions. The main result here is proved in a general context where the considered dilation is given by a fixed expansive linear map.
Motivated by recent results on non-Kählerian compact complex surfaces with small second Betti number, we classify those on which a holomorphic foliation (with singularities) exists.
