Given a (local) Kato1 measure μ on Rd \ {0}, d ≥ 2, let H 0 (U) be the convex cone of all continuous real solutions u ≥ 0 to the equation ∆u+ uμ = 0 on the punctured unit ball U satisfying lim|x|→1 u(x) = 0. It is shown that H 0 (U) 6= {0} if and only if the operator f 7→ ∫ U G(·, y)f(y) dμ(y), where G denotes the Green function on U , is bounded on L2(U, μ) and has a norm which is at most one....

We review the standard formulation of mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties, and compare this construction to a description of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces which relies on a sublattice of the Picard lattice. We then show how to combine information about the Picard group of a toric ambient space with data about automorphisms of the toric variety to identify families ...

In [Ru2] we have classified the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). In this work we give a geometrical description of such varieties. In particular, we determine their group of automorphisms. When this group, Aut(X), acts non-transitively on X, we describe a G-equivariant embedding of the variety X in a homogeneous variety (with respect to a larger...

In an earlier paper by the first author, an argument for the nonexistence of canonical vector heights on K3 surfaces of Picard number three was given, based on an explicit surface that was not proved to have Picard number three. In this paper, we fill the gap in the argument by redoing the computations for another explicit surface for which we prove that the Picard number equals three. The conc...

the problem of downward continuation of the gravity field from the earth’s surface to the reference ellipsoid arises from the fact that the solution to the boundary value problem for geoid determination without applying stokes formula is sought in terms of the disturbing potential on the ellipsoid but the gravity observations are only available on the earth’s surface. downward continuation is a...

In this paper, the Picard method is proposed to solve the Bernoulli equation with fuzzy initial condition under generalized H-differentiability. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed method are proved in details. Finally an example shows the accuracy of this method.

(an 2 1 Fp) of such a form, μ is given by qd=dq: It lifts, by the same formula, to the space of p-adic modular forms. This suggests a relation with the Tate twist of the mod p Galois representation attached to f; if the latter is a Hecke eigenform. Over C; this operator has been considered already by Ramanujan, where it fails to preserve modularity “by a multiple of E2": Maass modi...ed it so t...

In general, Picard-Fuchs systems in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are realized as a set of simultaneous partial differential equations. However, if the QCD scale parameter is used as unique independent variable instead of moduli, the resulting Picard-Fuchs systems are represented by a single ordinary differential equation (ODE) whose order coincides with the total number of independe...

The paper investigates invariants of compactified Picard modular surfaces by principal congruence subgroups of Picard modular groups. The applications to the surface classification and modular forms are also discussed.
