Abstract

For integers $n\ge 1$, consider assertions: $\mathbf{(P_n)}$: Let $\Omega \subset S^n$ be a spherical domain enclosed by totally geodesic $S^{n-1}$'s with non-obtuse dihedral angles. Then in $[0,2(n+1)]$, its Neumann spectrum can only take values among $\{0,n,2(n+1)\}$. Moreover, $n$ is a Neumann eigenvalue if and only if the corresponding eigenfunction is the restriction of a linear function in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, while $2(n+2)$ is a Neumann eigenvalue if and only if the corresponding eigenfunction is restriction of a quadratic polynomial in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. $\mathbf{(Q_n)}$: A weak solution $u$ to $\Delta u = f$ with the Neumann boundary condition, with $f$ H\"older continuous, in a conical polyhedral domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with non-obtuse dihedral angles, is in $C^{2,\alpha}_{loc}(\overline{\Omega})$. We prove the implications \[\mathbf{(Q_n)} \Rightarrow \mathbf{(P_n)},\qquad \mathbf{(P_n)}\Rightarrow \mathbf{(Q_{n+1})}.\] Consequently, both assertions hold in all dimensions. These give the optimal Neumann eigenvalue lower bound and $C^2$ elliptic regularity in non-obtuse Riemannian polyhedral domains.

Regularity results for elliptic equations on cones

We study global regularity of solutions to Dirichlet or Neumann elliptic problems in spherical sectors $S_{D,R}$ of radius $R>0$ in $\mathbb{R}^N, N\ge 2$, where $D$ is the bounded domain on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{N-1}$ which spans the spherical sector. One of the main results shows that boundedness of the gradie...

Spaces of triangularizable matrices (III): Perfect non-quadratically closed fields with characteristic 2

Given a field $\mathbb{F}$ and an integer $n \geq 2$, denote by $t_n(\mathbb{F})$ the greatest possible dimension for a vector space of $n$-by-$n$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}$ in which every element is triangularizable. It was recently proved that $t_n(\mathbb{F})=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ if and only if $\mathbb{F}$ is not quad...

The Bogdanov--Takens normal-form coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^n$ as directional derivatives of the characteristic invariants

Let $X$ be a vector field on an open set of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $X(p)=0$ and Jacobian $J=DX(p)$ of rank $n-1$ having $0$ as an eigenvalue of algebraic multiplicity two. Let $q_0$ span $\ker J$ and let $e_k(A)$ denote the sum of the principal $k\times k$ minors of $A$. Under the usual hyperbolicity assumption on the tra...

Regularity and Rivi\`ere's ${GL}(m)$-Gauge Construction for Elliptic Systems with Antisymmetric Potentials in Arbitrary Dimensions

Let $1 \leq q \le 2$ and denote by $2 \leq q'$ its corresponding conjugate exponent. We prove the continuity of solutions $u \in W^{1,(\frac{n}{n-1},q')}(B^n, \mathbb{R}^m)$ to the critical elliptic system $-\Delta u = \Omega \cdot \nabla u$ in dimension $n \ge 3$, where the potential $\Omega \in L^{(n,q)}(B^n, \mathfr...

Roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials for projective hypersurfaces with ordinary double points

Let $X\subset{\mathbb P}^{n-1}$ be a hypersurface of degree $d\ge3$ with ordinary double points, where $n\ge3$. The roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomial of its defining polynomial $f$ are given up to sign by 1, $(n-1)/2$, and $j/d$ for $j\in{\mathbb Z}\cap[n,nd-n-p_f]$ with $p_f$ a positive integer. Here $p_f$ is bounded...

Elliptic matroids and modular curves

For $n\geq 4$, let $T_n$ be the rank-3 matroid on $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose bases are the three-element non-zero-sum subsets. Let $X_1(n)^\circ$ denote the open subscheme of the modular curve $X_1(n)$ obtained by removing the cusps corresponding to reducible N\'eron polygons. For $n \geq 10$, we give a purely alge...
