Abstract: We introduce and study the derived moduli stack $\mathbb{Symp}(X,n)$ of $n$-shifted symplectic structures on a given derived stack $X$, as introduced in [8]. In particular, under reasonable assumptions on $X$, we prove that $\mathbb{Symp}(X,n)$ carries a canonical quadratic form, in the sense of [14]. This generalizes a classical result of Fricke and Habermann (see [3]), which was established in the $C^{\infty}$-setting, to the broader context of derived algebraic geometry, thus proving a conjecture stated in [14].

Abstract: The torsion anomalous conjecture states that for any variety $V$ in an abelian variety there are only finitely many maximal $V$-torsion anomalous varieties. We prove this conjecture for $V$ of codimension $2$ in a product $E^N$ of an elliptic curve $E$ without CM, complementing previous results for $E$ with CM. We also give an effective upper bound for the normalized height of these maximal $V$-torsion anomalous varieties.

Abstract: Given a prime number $p$ and $x$ an element of the Tate field $\mathbb{C}_p$, the main goal of the present paper is to provide an explicit generating set, which is given by the trace function of $x$ and all its derivatives, for the $\mathbb{C}_p$-Banach algebra of the Galois equivariant Krasner analytic functions defined on the complement in $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C}_p)$ of the orbit of $x$ with values in $\mathbb{C}_p$.

• Nadler mappings in cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras

Abstract: In this study we first define the concept of Nadler type contraction in the setting of $H$-cone $b$-metric space with respect to cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras. Next we prove the Banach contraction principle for such contractions by means of the notion of spectral radius and a solid cone in underlying Banach algebra. Finally we observe that the main result achieved in this work extends and generalizes the well known results associated with contractions of Nadler type.

Abstract: The algebra of noncommutative differential forms has been defined by A. Connes in }$\left[ 4\right] .$ Using this algebra, M. Karoubi has defined cyclic homology and Hochschild homology groups (see. $\left[ 13\right]$). These groups are related to the algebraic K-theory. The purpose of this paper is to provide the noncommutative differential forms algebra with the structure of Gerstenhaber-Voronov algebras.

Abstract: If $\{\gamma^{s+1}G\}$ and $\{\zeta_s(G)\}$ denote respectively the lower and upper central series of the group $G$, $s\ge 0$ an integer, and if $\gamma^{s+1}G/(\gamma^{s+1}G\cap\zeta_s(G))$ is polycyclic (resp. polycyclic-by-finite) for some $s$, then we prove that $G/\zeta_{2s}(G)$ is polycyclic (resp. polycyclic-by-finite). The corresponding result with polycyclic replaced by finite was proved in 2009 by G. A. Fernndez-Alcober and M. Morigi. We also present an alternative approach to the latter.

Abstract: We address in this paper the issue of singularities of ultrahyperfunctions. Following the Carmichael's approach for ultrahyperfunctions, we study the relation between the singular spectrum of a class of tempered ultrahyperfunctions corresponding to proper convex cones and their expressions as boundary values of holomorphic functions. In passing, a simple version of the celebrated edge of the wedge theorem for this setting is derived from the integral representation without using cohomology.

• Twisted cyclic groups

Abstract: A finite group $G$ is said to be \textsl{twisted cyclic} if there exist $\phi \in \text{Aut}(G)$ and $x \in G$ such that $G=\{(x^i)\phi^j\ :\ i,j \in \mathbb{Z}\}$. In this note, we classify all groups satisfying this property and determine that, if a finite group $G$ is twisted cyclic, then $G$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_{p^n}$, $\mathbb{Z}_p\times \mathbb{Z}_p \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}_p$, $Q_8$, $\mathbb{Z}_{p^n}\times \mathbb{Z}_{p^n}$ or direct products of these groups for some prime $p$ and some $n\in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$.

• On the values of unipotent characters in bad characteristic

Abstract: Let $G(q)$ be a Chevalley group over a finite field $\F_q$. By Lusztig's and Shoji's work, the problem of computing the values of the unipotent characters of $G(q)$ is solved, in principle, by the theory of character sheaves; one issue in this solution is the determination of certain scalars relating two types of class functions on $G(q)$. We show that this issue can be reduced to the case where $q$ is a prime, which opens the way to use computer algebra methods. Here, and in a sequel to this article, we use this approach to solve a number of cases in groups of exceptional type which seemed hitherto out of reach.

• Finite groups with the pp-embedding property

Abstract: A subset $X$ of a finite group $G$ is called g-independent if there is no proper subset $Y$ of $X$ such that $\langle Y,\Phi(G) \rangle = \langle X,\Phi(G) \rangle.$ The group $G$ has the embedding property if every g-independent subset of $G$ can be embedded in a minimal generating set of $G$. If $X$ is a set of prime power order elements, then we say that $G$ has the pp-embedding property. In this note we classify all finite solvable groups with the pp-embedding property. Moreover we prove that this class is equal to the class of finite solvable groups with the embedding property.

Abstract: In this paper we show that a large class of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ has the property that if $M$ is a maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-module then the Hilbert function of $M$ (with respect to $\mathfrak{m}$) is non-decreasing. Examples include
(1) Complete intersections $A = Q/(f,g)$ where $(Q,\mathfrak{n})$ is regular local of dimension three and $f \in \mathfrak{n}^2 \setminus \mathfrak{n}^3$.
(2) One dimensional Cohen-Macaulay quotients of a two dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring with pseudo-rational singularity.

• Cohen-Macaulayness and sequentially Cohen-Macaulayness of monomial ideals

Abstract: In this paper, we give a characterization for Cohen--Macaulay rings $R/I$ where $I\subset R=K[y_1, \dots, y_n]$ is a monomial ideal which satisfies $\rm{bigsize}\, I=\rm{size}\, I$. Next, we let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_m, y_1,\ldots,y_n]$ be a polynomial ring and $I\subset S$ a monomial ideal. We study the sequentially Cohen-Macaulayness of $S/I$ with respect to $Q=(y_1,\ldots,y_n)$. Moreover, if $I\subset R$ is a monomial ideal such that the associated prime ideals of $I$ are in pairwise disjoint sets of variables, a classification of $R/I$ to be sequentially Cohen-Macaulay is given. Finally, we compute $\rm{grade}\,(Q, M)$ where $M$ is a sequentially Cohen-Macaulay $S$-module with respect to $Q$.

Abstract: For each pair of integers $n=\prod_{i=1}^{r}p_i^{e_i}$ and $k \geq 2$, a digraph $G(n,k)$ is one with vertex set $\{0,1,\ldots ,n-1\}$ and for which there exists a directed edge from $x$ to $y$ if $x^k \equiv y \pmod n$. Using the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the digraph $G(n,k)$ can be written as a direct product of digraphs $G(p_i^{e_i},k)$ for all $i$ such that $1 \leq i \leq r$. A fundamental constituent $G_{P}^{*}(n,k)$, where $P \subseteq Q=\{p_1,p_2,\ldots,p_r\}$, is a subdigraph of $G(n,k)$ induced on the set of vertices which are multiples of $\prod_{{p_i} \in P}p_i$ and are relatively prime to all primes $p_j \in Q \smallsetminus P$. In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness of the factorization of trees attached to cycle vertices of the type $0$, $1$, and $(1,0)$, and in general, the uniqueness of $G(n,k)$. Moreover, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the isomorphism of the fundamental constituents $G_{P}^{*}(n,k_1)$ and $G_{P}^{*}(n,k_2)$ of $G(n,k_1)$ and $G(n,k_2)$ respectively for $k_1 \neq k_2$.

• Complex manifolds as families of homotopy algebras

Abstract: We prove an equivalence of categories from formal complex structures with formal holomorphic maps to homotopy algebras over a simple operad with its associated homotopy morphisms. We extend this equivalence to complex manifolds. A complex structure on a smooth manifold corresponds in this way to a family of algebras indexed by the points of the manifold.

• Algebraic cycles on a very special EPW sextic

Abstract: Motivated by the Beauville--Voisin conjecture about Chow rings of powers of $K3$ surfaces, we consider a similar conjecture for Chow rings of powers of EPW sextics. We prove part of this conjecture for the very special EPW sextic studied by Donten--Bury et alii. We also prove some other results concerning the Chow groups of this very special EPW sextic, and of certain related hyperk\"ahler fourfolds.

Abstract: A class of groups {\mgoth X} is said to be countably recognizable if a group belongs to~{\mgoth X} whenever all its countable subgroups lie in {\mgoth X}. It is proved here that the class of groups whose subgroups are closed in the profinite topology is countably recognizable. Moreover, countably detectable properties of the finite residual of a group are studied.

Abstract: We define a class of compact homogeneous $CR$ manifolds which are bases of Mostow fibrations having total spaces equal to their canonical complex realizations and Hermitian fibers. This is used to establish isomorphisms between their tangential Cauchy-Riemann cohomology groups and the corresponding Dolbeault cohomology groups of the embeddings.
