In this paper, we construct some unirational Calabi–Yau threefolds in characteristic 3. We adopt the method by Schoen, but we use quasi-elliptic surfaces instead of elliptic surfaces. We find new examples which do not admit a lifting to characteristic zero.

After recalling briefly the main properties of the amalgamated duplication of a ring$R$along an ideal$I$, denoted by $R\bowtie I$ , see M.$D’Anna$and M.$Fontana$, to appear in$J. Algebra Appl.$, we restrict our attention to the study of the properties of $R\bowtie I$ , when$I$is a multiplicative canonical ideal of$R$, see W. J.$Heinzer$, J. A.$Huckaba$and I. J.$Papick$,$Comm. Algebra$. In particular, we study when every regular fractional ideal of $R\bowtie I$ is divisorial.

In this paper, the relation between algebraic shifting and join which was conjectured by Eran Nevo will be proved. Let σ and τ be simplicial complexes and σ*τ be their join. Let$J$_{σ}be the exterior face ideal of σ and Δ(σ) the exterior algebraic shifted complex of σ. Assume that σ*τ is a simplicial complex on [$n$]={1,2,...,$n$}. For any$d$-subset$S$⊂[$n$], let $m_{\preceq_{\textrm{rev}}S}(\sigma)$ denote the number of$d$-subsets$R$∈σ which are equal to or smaller than$S$with respect to the reverse lexicographic order. We will prove that $m_{\preceq_{\textrm{rev}}S}(\Delta(\sigma*\tau))\geq m_{\preceq_{\textup{rev}}S}(\Delta(\Delta(\sigma) *\Delta(\tau)))$ for all$S$⊂[$n$]. To prove this fact, we also prove that $m_{\preceq_{\textrm{rev}}S}(\Delta(\sigma))\geq m_{\preceq_{\textup{rev}}S}(\Delta(\Delta_{\varphi}(\sigma)))$ for all$S$⊂[$n$] and for all nonsingular matrices ϕ, where Δ_{ϕ}(σ) is the simplicial complex defined by $J_{\Delta_{\varphi}(\sigma)}=\textup{in}(\varphi(J_{\sigma}))$ .

We obtain the generalized codimension-$p$Cauchy–Kovalevsky extension of the exponential function $e^{i\langle\underline{y},\underline{t}\rangle}$ in R^{$m$}=R^{$p$}⊕R^{$q$}, where$p$>1, $\underline{y},\underline{t}\in\mathbf{R}^{q}$ , and prove the corresponding codimension-$p$Paley–Wiener theorems.

We show persistence of both Anderson and dynamical localization in Schrödinger operators with non-positive (attractive) random decaying potential. We consider an Anderson-type Schrödinger operator with a non-positive ergodic random potential, and multiply the random potential by a decaying envelope function. If the envelope function decays slower than |$x$|^{-2}at infinity, we prove that the operator has infinitely many eigenvalues below zero. For envelopes decaying as |$x$|^{-α}at infinity, we determine the number of bound states below a given energy$E$<0, asymptotically as α↓0. To show that bound states located at the bottom of the spectrum are related to the phenomenon of Anderson localization in the corresponding ergodic model, we prove: (a) these states are exponentially localized with a localization length that is uniform in the decay exponent α; (b) dynamical localization holds uniformly in α.
