This paper concerns the physical behaviors of any solutions to the one dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations for viscous and heat conductive gases with constant viscosities and heat conductivity for fast decaying density at far fields only. First, it is shown that the specific entropy becomes not uniformly bounded immediately after the initial time, as long as the initial density decays to vacuum at the far field at the rate not slower than $O\left(\frac1{|x|^{\ell_\rho}}\right)$ with $\ell_\rho>2$. Furthermore, for faster decaying initial density, i.e., $\ell_\rho\geq4$, a sharper result is discovered that the absolute temperature becomes uniformly positive at each positive time, no matter whether it is uniformly positive or not initially, and consequently the corresponding entropy behaves as $O(-\log(\varrho_0(x)))$ at each positive time, independent of the boundedness of the initial entropy. Such phenomena are in sharp contrast to the case with slowly decaying initial density of the rate no faster than $O(\frac1{x^2})$, for which our previous works \cite{LIXINADV,LIXINCPAM,LIXIN3DK} show that the uniform boundedness of the entropy can be propagated for all positive time and thus the temperature decays to zero at the far field. These give a complete answer to the problem concerning the propagation of uniform boundedness of the entropy for the heat conductive ideal gases and, in particular, show that the algebraic decay rate $2$ of the initial density at the far field is sharp for the uniform boundedness of the entropy. The tools to prove our main results are based on some scaling transforms, including the Kelvin transform, and a Hopf type lemma for a class of degenerate equations with possible unbounded coefficients.

Let$K$be the class of trigonometric series of power type, i.e. Taylor series $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^\infty {c_n z^n } $$ for$z$=$e$^{$ix$}, whose partial sums for all$x$in$E$, where$E$is a nondenumerable subset of [0, 2π), lie on a$finite$number of circles (a priori depending on$x$) in the complex plane. The main result of this paper is that for every member of the class$K$, there exist a complex number ω, |ω|=1, and two positive integers $$\nu , \kappa , \nu < \kappa $$ , such that for the coefficients$c$_{$n$}we have: $$c_{\mu + \lambda \left( {\kappa - \nu } \right)} = c_\mu \omega ^\lambda , \mu = \nu ,\nu + 1, \ldots , \kappa - 1, \lambda = 1,2,3, \ldots $$ . Thus, every member of the class$K$has (with minor modifications) a representation of the form: $$P(x)\sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^\infty {e^{iknx} ,} $$ where P($x$) is a suitable trigonometric polynomial and$k$a positive integer. The proof is elementary but rather long. This result is closely related to a theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund on the circular structure of the set of limit points of the sequence of partial sums of ($C$, 1) summable Taylor series.

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.
