We present a cryptanalysis of a signature scheme HIMQ-3 due to Kyung-Ah Shim et al [10], which is a submission to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standardization process of post-quantum cryptosystems in 2017. We will show that inherent to the signing process is a leakage of information of the private key. Using this information one can forge a signature.

We give existence results for simple closed curves with prescribed geodesic curvature on S2, which correspond to periodic orbits of a charge in a magnetic field.

For the physical vacuum free boundary problem with the sound speed being C^1/2-Holder continuous near vacuum boundaries of the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations with damping, the global existence of the smooth solution is proved, which is shown to converge to the Barenblatt self-similar solution for the porous media equation with the same total mass when the initial datum is a small perturbation of the Barenblatt solution. The pointwise convergence with a rate of density, the convergence rate of velocity in the supremum norm, and the precise expanding rate of the physical vacuum boundaries are also given. The proof is based on a construction of higher-order weighted functionals with both space and time weights capturing the behavior of solutions both near vacuum states and in large time, an introduction of a new ansatz, higher-order nonlinear energy estimates, and elliptic estimates.

We present an alternate description of the Ozsv´ath-Szab´o contact class in Heegaard Floer homology. Using our contact class, we prove that if a contact structure (M, ) has an adapted open book decomposition whose page S is a once-punctured torus, then the monodromy is right-veering if and only if the contact structure is tight.
