In a paper by J. V. Pereira and the author it was proved that any pencil of plane curves of degree $d>1$ with irreducible generic fiber can have at most five completely reducible fibers although no examples with five such fibers had ever been found. Recently Janis Stipins has proved that if a pencil has a base of $d^2$ points, then it cannot have five completely reducible fibers. In this paper we generalize Stipins' result to arbitrary pencils. We also include into consideration more general special fibers that are the unions of lines and non-reduced curves. These fibers are important for characteristic varieties of hyperplane complements.

The purpose of this paper is to explicitly describe in terms of generators and relations the universal central extension of the infinite dimensional Lie algebra, $ \mathfrak{g}\otimes \mathbb{C}[t,t^{-1},u\vert u^2=(t^2-b^2)(t^2-c^2)]$ [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study an operator $ T$ which is $ M$ of $ E$-hypercyclic and use it to answer negatively two questions asked by Madore and Martínez-Avendaño. We also give a sufficient condition for $ T$-hypercyclic for all finite co-dimensional subspaces $ M$. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to prove that there exist measures $ d\mu(x)=\gamma(x)dx$ $ \gamma(x)=\gamma_{0}(\vert x\vert)$ $ \gamma_{0}$ $ \mathcal{M}_{\mu}$ does not map $ L^{p}_{\mu}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ $ L^{p}_{\mu}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$. This result answers an open question of P. Sjögren and F. Soria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we discuss various refinements and generalizations of a theorem of Sankar Dutta and Paul Roberts. Their theorem gives a criterion for $ d$-dimensional Noetherian Cohen-Macaulay local ring to be a system of parameters, i.e., to have height $ d$ [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, by making use of the concatenation of $17^2-1=288$ points on the sphere of radius $4$ in $mathbb {R}^{16}$ and subcodes of algebraic geometry codes over $mathbb {F}_{17^2}$, we improve the best-known constructive bound on kissing numbers by A. Vardy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let $N(a,m)$ be the least integer $n$ (if it exists) such that $varphi (n)equiv apmod m$. Friedlander and Shparlinski proved that for any $varepsilon >0$ there exists $A=A(varepsilon )>0$ such that for any positive integer $m$ which has no prime divisors $p<(log m)^A$ and any integer $a$ with $gcd (a,m)=1,$ we have the bound $N(a,m)ll m^{3+varepsilon }.$ In the present paper we improve this bound to $N(a,m)ll m^{2+varepsilon }.$ [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we present a number of examples of commutative Banach algebras with various Arens irregularity properties. These examples illustrate in particular that strong Arens irregularity and extreme non-Arens regularity, the two natural concepts of ``maximal'' Arens irregularity for general Banach algebras as introduced by Dales-Lau and Granirer, respectively, are indeed distinct. Thereby, an open question raised by several authors is answered. We also link these two properties to another natural Arens irregularity property. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
