We have developed a mathematical theory of the topological vertexa theory that was originally proposed by M Aganagic, A Klemm, M Mario and C Vafa on effectively computing GromovWitten invariants of smooth toric CalabiYau threefolds derived from duality between open string theory of smooth CalabiYau threefolds and ChernSimons theory on three-manifolds.

The numerical simulation of the band structure of three-dimensional dispersive metallic photonic crystals with face-centered cubic lattices leads to large-scale nonlinear eigenvalue problems, which are very challenging due to a high dimensional subspace associated with the eigenvalue zero and the fact that the desired eigenvalues (with smallest real part) cluster and close to the zero eigenvalues. For the solution of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem, a Newton-type iterative method is proposed and the nullspace-free method is applied to exclude the zero eigenvalues from the associated generalized eigenvalue problem. To find the successive eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs, we propose a new non-equivalence deflation method to transform converged eigenvalues to infinity, while all other eigenvalues remain unchanged. The deflated problem is then solved by the same Newton-type method, which is used as a hybrid method that combines with the Jacobi-Davidson and the nonlinear Arnoldi methods to compute the clustering eigenvalues. Numerical results illustrate that the proposed method is robust even for the case of computing many clustering eigenvalues in very large problems.

Let p be a prime and L be a finite extension of ℚp. We study the ordinary parts of GL2(L)-representations arised in the mod p cohomology of Shimura curves attached to indefinite division algebras which splits at a finite place above p. The main tool of the proof is a theorem of Emerton \cite{Em3}.

This paper is concerned with superconvergence properties of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for 2-D linear hyperbolic conservation laws over rectangular meshes when upwind fluxes are used. We prove, under some suitable initial and boundary discretizations, the ($2k+1$)-th order superconvergence rate of the DG approximation at the downwind points and for the cell averages, when piecewise tensor-product polynomials of degree $k$ are used. Moreover, we prove that the gradient of the DG solution is superconvergent with a rate of ($k+1$)-th order at all interior left Radau points; and the function value approximation is superconvergent at all right Radau points with a rate of ($k+2$)-th order. Numerical experiments indicate that the aforementioned superconvergence rates are sharp.
