Starting with a commutative ring $R$ and an ideal $I$ , it is possible to define a family of rings $R(I)_{a,b}$ , with $a,b \in R$ , as quotients of the Rees algebra $\oplus_{n \geq0} I^{n}t^{n}$ ; among the rings appearing in this family we find Nagata’s idealization and amalgamated duplication. Many properties of these rings depend only on $R$ and $I$ and not on $a$ , $b$ ; in this paper we show that the Gorenstein and the almost Gorenstein properties are independent of $a$ , $b$ . More precisely, we characterize when the rings in the family are Gorenstein, complete intersection, or almost Gorenstein and we find a formula for the type.

In this article, a classification of continuous, linearly intertwining, symmetric $L_p$-Blaschke ($p>1$) valuations is established as an extension of Haberl's work on Blaschke valuations. More precisely, we show that for dimensions $n \geq 3$, the only continuous, linearly intertwining, normalized symmetric $L_p$-Blaschke valuation is the normalized $L_p$-curvature image operator, while for dimension $n = 2 $, a rotated normalized $L_p$-curvature image operator is an only additional one. One of the advantages of our approach is that we deal with normalized symmetric $L_p$-Blaschke valuations, which makes it possible to handle the case $p=n$. The cases where $p \neq =n$ are also discussed by studying the relations between symmetric $L_p$-Blaschke valuations and normalized ones.

In this paper, we completely prove a standard conjecture on the local converse theorem for generic representations of GLn(F), where F is a non-archimedean local field.

We solve the Plateau problem for marginally outer trapped surfaces in general Cauchy data sets. We employ the Perron method and tools from geometric measure theory to force and control a blow-up of Jang’s equation. Substantial new geometric insights regarding the lower order properties of marginally outer trapped surfaces are gained in the process. The techniques developed in this paper are flexible and can be adapted to other non-variational existence problems.
