We give the boundedness of the maximal operator on Musielak-Orlicz-Morrey spaces, which is an improvement of [7, Theorem 4.1]. We also discuss the sharpness of our conditions.

In this paper, we study the Tamagawa numbers of a crystalline representation over a tower of cyclotomic extensions under certain technical conditions on the representation. In particular, we show that we may improve the asymptotic bounds given in the thesis of Arthur Laurent in certain cases.

We discuss holomorphic isometric embeddings of the projective line into quadrics using the generalisation of the theorem of do Carmo-Wallach in [14] to provide a description of their moduli spaces up to image and gauge equivalence. Moreover, we show rigidity of the real standard map from the projective line into quadrics.

We study the monodromy representation of the generalized hypergeometric differential equation and that of Lauricella's $F_C$ system of hypergeometric differential equations. We use fundamental systems of solutions expressed by the hypergeometric series. We express non-diagonal circuit matrices as reflections with respect to root vectors with all entries 1. We present a simple way to obtain circuit matrices.

Let $K$ be a $(2p,q)$-torus knot. Here $p$ and $q$ are coprime odd positive integers. Let $M_n$ be a 3-manifold obtained by a $1/n$-Dehn surgery along $K$. We consider a polynomial $\sigma_{(2p,q,n)}(t)$ whose zeros are the inverses of the Reidemeister torsion of $M_n$ for $\mathit{SL}(2;\mathbb{C})$-irreducible representations under some normalization. Johnson gave a formula for the case of the $(2,3)$-torus knot under another normalization. We generalize this formula for the case of $(2p,q)$-torus knots by using Tchebychev polynomials.

We initiate the study of spectral zeta functions $\zeta_X$ for finite and infinite graphs $X$, instead of the Ihara zeta function, with a perspective towards zeta functions from number theory and connections to hypergeometric functions. The Riemann hypothesis is shown to be equivalent to an approximate functional equation of graph zeta functions. The latter holds at all points where Riemann's zeta function $\zeta(s)$ is non-zero. This connection arises via a detailed study of the asymptotics of the spectral zeta functions of finite torus graphs in the critcal strip and estimates on the real part of the logarithmic derivative of $\zeta(s)$. We relate $\zeta_{\mathbb{Z}}$ to Euler's beta integral and show how to complete it giving the functional equation $\xi_{\mathbb{Z}}(1-s)=\xi_{\mathbb{Z}}(s)$. This function appears in the theory of Eisenstein series although presumably with this spectral intepretation unrecognized. In higher dimensions $d$ we provide a meromorphic continuation of $\zeta_{\mathbb{Z}^d}(s)$ to the whole plane and identify the poles. From our aymptotics several known special values of $\zeta(s)$ are derived as well as its non-vanishing on the line $Re(s)=1$. We determine the spectral zeta functions of regular trees and show it to be equal to a specialization of Appell's hypergeometric function $F_1$ via an Euler-type integral formula due to Picard.

We show that a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ can be reconstructed from its polarized Jacobian $(X, \Theta)$ as a certain locus in the Hilbert scheme $\mathrm{Hilb}^d(X)$, for $d=3$ and for $d=g+2$, defined by geometric conditions in terms of the polarization $\Theta$. The result is an application of the Gunning-Welters trisecant criterion and the Castelnuovo-Schottky theorem by Pareschi-Popa and Grushevsky, and its scheme theoretic extension by the authors.

The 2-parameter family of certain homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds which includes Minkowski 3-space, de Sitter 3-space, and Minkowski motion group is considered. Each homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifold in the 2-parameter family has a solvable Lie group structure with left invariant metric. A generalized integral representation formula which is the unification of representation formulas for minimal timelike surfaces in those homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds is obtained. The normal Gauß map of minimal timelike surfaces in those homogeneous Lorentzian 3-manifolds and its harmonicity are discussed.

We consider a random link, which is defined as the closure of a braid obtained from a random walk on the braid group. For such a random link, the expected value for the number of components was calculated by Jiming Ma. In this paper, we determine the most expected number of components for a random link, and further, consider the most expected partition of the number of strings for a random braid.
