We establish three major fixed-point theorems for functions satisfying an odd power type contractive condition in G-metric spaces. We first consider the case of a single mapping, followed by that of a triplet of mappings and we conclude by…

We prove the backward uniqueness for general parabolic operators of second order in the whole space under assumptions that the leading coefficients of the operator are Lipschitz and their gradients satisfy certain decay conditions. This…

We prove that a backward orbit with bounded Kobayashi step for a hyperbolic or strongly elliptic holomorphic self-map of a bounded strongly convex domain in the d-dimensional complex Euclidean space necessarily converges to a boundary fixed…

We consider smooth maps on compact Riemannian manifolds. We prove that under some mild condition of eventual volume expansion Lebesgue almost everywhere we have uniform backward volume contraction on every pre-orbit for Lebesgue almost…

Let $(\phi_t)$ be a continuous semigroup of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with Denjoy-Wolff point $\tau\in\overline{\mathbb{D}}$. We study the rate of convergence of the forward orbits of $(\phi_t)$ to the Denjoy-Wolff…

For a totally positive definite quadratic form over the ring of integers of a totally real number field $K$, we show that there are only finitely many totally real field extensions of $K$ of a fixed degree over which the form is universal…

Let $K$ be a field and $V$ and $W$ be $K$-vector spaces of dimension $m$ and $n$. Let $\phi$ be the canonical map from $Hom(V,W)$ to $Hom(\wedge^t V,\wedge^t W)$. We investigate the Zariski closure $X_t$ of the image $Y_t$ of $\phi$. In the…

Let F be a local non-archimedean field. We prove a formula relating orbital integrals in GL(n,F) (for the unit Hecke function) and the generating series counting ideals of a certain ring. Using this formula, we give an explicit estimate for…

Recent experiments have shown rotation of the plane of polarization of light reflected from the surface of some superconductors. This indicates that time reversal and certain mirror symmetries are broken in the ordered phase. The photon…

Let $K$ be a number field and let $\phi$ in $K(z)$ be a rational function of degree $d\geq 2$. Let $S$ be the places of bad reduction for $\phi$ (including the archimedan places). Let $Per(\phi,K)$, $PrePer(\phi, K)$, and $Tail(\phi,K)$ be…

We introduce two notions of a contractive orbit of a set-valued map defined in a first countable space. The first defines the contraction with respect to the topology of the underlying space while the second defines the contraction with…

We compute the $k$th power-sums (for all $k>0$) over an arbitrary finite unital ring $R$. This unifies and extends the work of Brawley, Carlitz, and Levine for matrix rings [Duke Math. J. 1974], with folklore results for finite fields and…

We determine a strong form of the decomposition theorem for proper toric maps over finite fields.

Let $\mathcal S$ denote the class of all functions of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk $\ID$ and, for $\lambda >0$, let $\Phi_\lambda (n,f)=\lambda a_n^2-a_{2n-1}$ denote the…

A rational function of degree at least two with coefficients in an algebraically closed field is post-critically finite (PCF) if all of its critical points have finite forward orbit under iteration. We show that the collection of PCF…

In this paper we are going to prove a very general fixed point theorem for mappings acting in partial metric spaces. In that theorem we impose some conditions on behavior of considered mappings on orbits and a condition relating orbits of…

We prove that there exists a nonprincipal ultrafilter $\mathcal U$ on $\mathbb N$ such that for every countable (or separable) structure $B$ in a countable language the quotient map from the reduced product associated with the Fr\'echet…

A long-standing conjecture of Littlewood about simultaneous Diophantine approximation has an analogous problem for a field of formal Laurent series $\mathbb{F}(\!(t^{-1})\!)$. That is, we can ask whether for any series $\Theta$, $\Phi$ and…

We discuss Parshin's conjecture on rational K-theory over finite fields and its implications for motivic cohomology with compact support.

Eggert's Conjecture says that if R is a finite-dimensional nilpotent commutative algebra over a perfect field F of characteristic p, and R^{(p)} is the image of the p-th power map on R, then dim_F R \geq p dim_F R^{(p)}. Whether this very…
