We prove that the face ring of a pure $k$-shellable simplicial complex satisfies the Stanley conjecture. In this way, by applying an expansion functor to the face ring of a given pure shellable complex, we construct a large class of rings satisfying the Stanley conjecture.</p><p>Also, by presenting some characterizations of $k$-shellable graphs, we extend some results due to Castrillón-Cruz, Cruz-Estrada and Van Tuyl-Villareal.</p> Rahim Rahmati-Asghar ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/102975 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:49 +0200 Topological rigidity of quasitoric manifolds https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/97303 <p>Quasitoric manifolds are manifolds that admit an action of the torus that is locally the same as the standard action of $T^n$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$. It is known that the quotients of such actions are nice manifolds with corners. We prove that a class of locally standard manifolds, that contains the quasitoric manifolds, is equivariantly rigid, i.e., that any manifold that is $T^n$-homotopy equivalent to a quasitoric manifold is $T^n$-homeomorphic to it.</p> Vassilis Metaftsis, Stratos Prassidis ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/97303 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200 Pencils and nets on curves arising from rank $1$ sheaves on K3 surfaces https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/97308 <p>Let $S$ be a K3 surface, $C$ a smooth curve on $S$ with $\mathcal{O} _S(C)$ ample, and $A$ a base-point free $g^2_d$ on $C$ of small degree. We use Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles to prove that $A$ is cut out by the global sections of a rank $1$ torsion-free sheaf $\mathcal{G}$ on $S$. Furthermore, we show that $c_1(\mathcal{G} )$ with one exception is adapted to $\mathcal{O} _S(C)$ and satisfies $\operatorname{Cliff} (c_1(\mathcal{G} )_{|C})\leq \operatorname{Cliff} (A)$, thereby confirming a conjecture posed by Donagi and Morrison. We also show that the same methods can be used to give a simple proof of the conjecture in the $g^1_d$ case.</p><p>In the final section, we give an example of the mentioned exception where $h^0(C,c_1(\mathcal{G} )_{|C})$ is dependent on the curve $C$ in its linear system, thereby failing to be adapted to $\mathcal{O} _S(C)$.</p> Nils Henry Rasmussen ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/97308 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200 Nearest points on toric varieties https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/101478 <p>We determine the Euclidean distance degree of a projective toric variety. This extends the formula of Matsui and Takeuchi for the degree of the $A$-discriminant in terms of Euler obstructions. Our primary goal is the development of reliable algorithmic tools for computing the points on a real toric variety that are closest to a given data point.</p> Martin Helmer, Bernd Sturmfels ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/101478 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200 Stability of rank two Ulrich bundles on projective $K3$ surfaces https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/101999 <p>Let $F\subseteq \mathbb{P}^{N}$ be a $K3$ surface of degree $2a$, where $a\ge 2$. In this paper we deal with Ulrich bundles on $F$ of rank $2$.

We define the concept of $(\delta , \varepsilon )$-orthogonality preserving mapping and give some sufficient conditions for a linear mapping to be $(\delta , \varepsilon )$-orthogonality preserving. In particular, if $\mathscr {E}$ is a full Hilbert $\mathscr {A}$-module with $\mathbb {K}(\mathscr {H})\subseteq \mathscr {A} \subseteq \mathbb {B}(\mathscr {H})$ and $T, S\colon \mathscr {E}\to \mathscr {E}$ are two linear mappings satisfying $|\langle Sx, Sy\rangle | = \|S\|^2|\langle x, y\rangle |$ for all $x, y\in \mathscr {E}$ and $\|T - S\| \leq \theta \|S\|$, then we show that $T$ is a $(\delta , \varepsilon )$-orthogonality preserving mapping. We also prove whenever $\mathbb {K}(\mathscr {H})\subseteq \mathscr {A} \subseteq \mathbb {B}(\mathscr {H})$ and $T\colon \mathscr {E} \to \mathscr {F}$ is a nonzero $\mathscr {A}$-linear $(\delta , \varepsilon )$-orthogonality preserving mapping between $\mathscr {A}$-modules, then $\bigl \|\langle Tx, Ty\rangle - \|T\|^2\langle x, y\rangle \bigr \|\leq \frac {4(\varepsilon - \delta )}{(1 - \delta )(1 + \varepsilon )} \|Tx\|\|Ty\|\qquad (x, y\in \mathscr {E}).$ As a result, we present some characterizations of the orthogonality preserving mappings.</p> Mohammad Sal Moslehian, Ali Zamani ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/102945 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200 Clark measures and a theorem of Ritt https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/104444 <p>We determine when a finite Blaschke product $B$ can be written, in a non-trivial way, as a composition of two finite Blaschke products (Ritt's problem) in terms of the Clark measure for $B$. Our tools involve the numerical range of compressed shift operators and the geometry of certain polygons circumscribing the numerical range of the relevant operator. As a consequence of our results, we can determine, in terms of Clark measures, when two finite Blaschke products commute.</p> Isabelle Chalendar, Pamela Gorkin, Jonathan R. Partington, William T.

We apply the obtained results to derive criteria for nuclearity and trace formulae for periodic operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$ in terms of global symbols.</p> Julio Delgado, Michael Ruzhansky ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/102962 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200 Volume index https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/105219 Volume index Mathematica Scandinavica ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/105219 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200 Issue covers https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/105220 Issure covers Mathematica Scandinavica ##submission.copyrightStatement## https://www.mscand.dk/article/view/105220 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:40:50 +0200
