Let$f$and$g$be nonlinear entire functions. The relations between the dynamics of$f⊗g$and$g⊗f$are discussed. Denote byℐ (·) and$F$(·) the Julia and Fatou sets. It is proved that if$z$∈$C$, then$z$∈ℐ8464 ($f⊗g$) if and only if$g(z)$∈ℐ8464 ($g⊗f$); if$U$is a component of$F$($f$○$g$) and$V$is the component of$F$($g$○$g$) that contains$g(U)$, then$U$is wandering if and only if$V$is wandering; if$U$is periodic, then so is$V$and moreover,$V$is of the same type according to the classification of periodic components as$U$. These results are used to show that certain new classes of entire functions do not have wandering domains.

The action of a Lie pseudogroup $\mathcal{G}$ on a smooth manifold$M$induces a prolonged pseudogroup action on the jet spaces$J$^{$n$}of submanifolds of$M$. We prove in this paper that both the local and global freeness of the action of $\mathcal{G}$ on$J$^{$n$}persist under prolongation in the jet order$n$. Our results underlie the construction of complete moving frames and, indirectly, their applications in the identification and analysis of the various invariant objects for the prolonged pseudogroup actions.

In this note, we examine the Jacobian ring description of the Hodge structure of zero loci of vector bundle sections on a class of ambient varieties. We consider a set of cohomological vanishing conditions that imply such a description, and we verify these conditions for some new cases. We also observe that the method can be directly extended to log homogeneous varieties. We apply the Jacobian ring to study the null varieties of period integrals and their derivatives, generalizing a result in [9] for projective spaces. As an additional application, we prove the Hodge conjecture for very generic hypersurfaces in certain generalized flag varieties.

We propose a numerically efficient algorithm for simulating the multi-color optical self-focusing phenomena in nematic liquid crystals. The propagation of the nematicon is modeled by a parabolic wave equation coupled with a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation governing the angle between the crystal and the direction of propagation. Numerically, the paraxial parabolic wave equation is solved by a fast Huygens sweeping method, while the nonlinear elliptic PDE is handled by the alternating direction explicit (ADE) method. The overall algorithm is shown to be numerically efficient for computing high frequency beam propagations.

In a previous paper we have constructed an invariant of fourdimensional manifolds with boundary in the form of an element in the stable homotopy group of the Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum of the boundary. Here we prove that when one glues two four- manifolds along their boundaries, the Bauer-Furuta invariant of the resulting manifold is obtained by applying a natural pairing to the invariants of the pieces. As an application, we show that the connected sum of three copies of the K3 surface contains no exotic nuclei. In the process we also compute the Floer spectrum for several Seifert fibrations.
