A rational projective plane ([Formula: see text]) is a simply connected, smooth, closed manifold [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. An open problem is to classify the dimensions at which such a manifold exists. The Barge–Sullivan rational surgery realization theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions that include the Hattori–Stong integrality conditions on the Pontryagin numbers. In this paper, we simplify these conditions and combine them with the signature equation to give a single quadratic residue equation that determines whether a given dimension supports a [Formula: see text]. We then confirm the existence of a [Formula: see text] in two new dimensions and prove several non-existence results using factorization of the numerators of the divided Bernoulli numbers. We also resolve the existence question in the Spin case, and we discuss existence results for the more general class of rational projective spaces.

Dedicated to George Szekeres on the occasion of his 90th birthdayNecessary and sufficient conditions for equality over the pseudovariety CR of all finite completely regular semigroups are obtained. They are inspired by the solution of the word problem for free completely regular semigroups and clarify the role played by groups in the structure of such semigroups. A strengthened version of Ash's inevitability theorem (κ-reducibility of the pseudovariety G of all finite groups) is proposed as an open problem and it is shown that, if this stronger version holds, then CR is also κ-reducible and, therefore, hyperdecidable.

Consider the simply connected spring-mass system with partial mass connected to the ground. The inverse mode problem of constructing the physical elements of the system from two eigenpairs, the grounding spring stiffness and total mass of the system is considered. The necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing a physical realizable system with positive mass and stiffness elements are established. If these conditions are satisfied, the grounding spring-mass system may be constructed uniquely. The numerical methods and examples are given finally.

A problem posed by Lehmer in 1938 asks for simple closed formulae for the values of the even Bernoulli polynomials at rational arguments in terms of the Bernoulli numbers. We discuss this problem based on the Fourier expansion of the Bernoulli polynomials. We also give some necessary and sufficient conditions for ζ(2k + 1) be a rational multiple of π2k+1.

Consider the rod on elastic foundation. Its discrete model is the simply connected spring-mass system with partial mass connected to the ground. The inverse mode problem of constructing the physical elements of the system from two eigenpairs, the spring stiffness of the system is considered. The necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing a physical realizable system with positive mass and stiffness elements are established. If these conditions are satisfied, the rod on the elastic foundation may be constructed uniquely. The numerical methods and examples are given finally.

Given the odd /even degree eigenpair and the even degree eigenpair of a simply connected central symmetric spring-mass system respectively. The inverse mode problem of constructing the physical elements of the system from two eigenpairs and the total mass of the system is considered. The necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing of a physical realizable system with positive mass and stiffness elements are established. If these conditions are satisfied, the simply connected central symmetric spring-mass system may be constructed uniquely. The numerical methods and examples are given finally.

In this paper, we study 3-dimensional compact and connected trans-Sasakian manifolds and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which these manifolds are homothetic to Sasakian manifolds. First, four results in this paper deal with finding necessary and sufficient conditions on a compact and connected trans-Sasakian manifold to be homothetic to a compact and connected Sasakian manifold, and the fifth result deals with finding necessary and sufficient condition on a connected trans-Sasakian manifold to be homothetic to a connected Sasakian manifold. Finally, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on a compact and simply connected trans-Sasakian manifold to be homothetic to a compact and simply connected Einstein Sasakian manifold.

We generalise the work of Cramér and Leadbetter, Ylvisaker and Ito on the level crossings of a stationary Gaussian process to multivariate processes. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the expected number of crossings E(C) of the boundary of a region of ℝp by a stationary vector stochastic process are obtained, along with an explicit formula for E(C) in the Gaussian case. A rigorous proof of Belyaev's integral formula for the factorial moments of the number of exits from a region of ℝp is given for a class of processes which includes Gaussian processes having a finite second order spectral moment matrix. Applications to χ2 processes are briefly considered.

AbstractA radical γ is prime-like if, for every prime ring A, the polynomial ring A[x] is γ-semisimple. In this paper, we study properties of prime-like radicals. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a radical γ containing the prime radical β to be prime-like. This allows us to easily find distinct special radicals that coincide on simple rings and on polynomial rings, which answers a question put by Ferrero. It also allows us to reformulate a long-standing open problem of Gardner in terms of prime-like radicals.
