We prove the almost everywhere convergence of the inverse spherical transform of$L$_{$p$}bi-$K$-invariant functions on the group$SL$(2,$R$), 4/3<$p$≤2. The result appears to be sharp.

In this paper a Wiener-type characterization is presented of those boundary points of a Denjoy domain where the Green function is Lipschitz continuous. This property is linked with the splitting of a Euclidean boundary point into two minimal Martin boundary points.

We introduce a basis of the Orlik–Solomon algebra labeled by chambers, the so called chamber basis. We consider structure constants of the Orlik–Solomon algebra with respect to the chamber basis and prove that these structure constants recover D. Cohen’s minimal complex from the Aomoto complex.

A very simple and efficient finite element method is introduced for two and three dimensional viscous incompressible flows using the vorticity formulation. This method relies on recasting the traditional finite element method in the spirit of the high order accurate finite difference methods introduced by the authors in another work. Optimal accuracy of arbitrary order can be achieved using standard finite element or spectral elements. The method is convectively stable and is particularly suited for moderate to high Reynolds number flows.

Motivated by the Mario-Vafa formula of Hodge integrals and physicists' predictions on local Gromov-Witten invariants of toric Fano surfaces in a Calabi-Yau threefold, the third author conjectured a formula of certain Hodge integrals in terms of certain Chern-Simons invariants of the Hopf link. We prove this formula by virtual localization on moduli spaces of relative stable morphisms.

The positive mass theorem states that for a nontrivial isolated physical system, the total energy, which includes contributions from both matter and gravitation is positive. This assertion was demonstrated in our previous paper in the important case when the space-time admits a maximal slice. Here this assumption is removed and the general theorem is demonstrated. Abstracts of the results of this paper appeared in [11] and [13].

Mean curvature ows of hypersurfaces have been extensively studied and there are various dierent approaches and many beautiful results. However, relatively little is known about mean curvature ows of submanifolds of higher codimensions. This notes starts with some basic materials on submanifold geometry, and then introduces mean curvature ows in general dimensions and co-dimensions. The related techniques in the so called \blow-up" analysis are also discussed. At the end, we present some global existence and convergence results for mean curvature ows of two-dimensional surfaces in four-dimensional ambient spaces.
