We consider HNN extensions 〈B, t : t^―1Ht = K〉, where H, K are in the center of B. We show that conjugating automorphisms of those HNN extensions are inner if B satisfies certain conditions.

Let R be a ring with unity, and let I be an ideal of R. Then R is called I-semiregular if for every a ∈ R there exists b ∈ R such that ab is an idempotent of R and a - aba ∈ I. In this paper, basic properties of I-semiregularity are investigated, and some equivalent conditions to the primitivity of e are observed for an idempotent e of an I-semiregular ring R such that I∩eR = (0). For an abelian regular ring R with the ascending chain condition on annihilators of idempotents of R, it is shown that R is isomorphic to a direct product of a finite number of division rings, as a consequence of the observations.

For a nondegenerate projective curve C ⊂ ℙ^r of degree d, it was shown that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity reg(C) of C is at most d - r + 2. And the curves of maximal regularity which attain the maximally possible value d - r + 2 are completely classified. In this short note, we first collect several known results about curves of maximal regularity. We provide a new proof and some partial results. Finally we suggest some interesting questions.

It is known that a 2-generator knot K has a cyclic Alexander module ℤ[t, t^―1]/(Δ(t)) where Δ(t) is the Alexander polynomial of K. In this paper we explicitly show how to reduce 2-generator Alexander modules to cyclic ones by using Chiswell, Glass and Wilsons presentations of 2-generator knot groups $$<\;x,\;y\;{\mid}\;(x^{{\alpha}_1})^{y^{{\gamma}_1}},\;{\cdots}\;,\;(x^{{\alpha}_k})^{y^{{\gamma}_k}}\;>$$ where a^b = bab^-1.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is a type of fatty liver in which fat accumulates in the liver without alcohol. In the accumulation, Nrf1 and miR-378 genes play very important role, so called negative feedback loop, in which the two genes suppress the other's production. In other words, Nrf1 activates fatty acid oxidation which promotes fat consumption in the liver, while miR-378 deactivates fatty acid oxidation. Thus, both genes regulate nonalcoholic fatty liver. In this paper, the negative feedback loop of Nrf1 and miR-378 are expressed by a system of ordinary differential equations. And, bifurcation simulation shows the change in the amount of each gene with significant parameter range changes. Bifurcation simulation has also used to determine the thresholds for transit between disease and steady state.

In this paper, we provide detailed proof of the Sawyer type characterization of the two weight estimate for the dyadic paraproduct. Although the dyadic paraproduct is known to be a well localized operators and the testing conditions obtained from checking boundedness of the given localized operator on a collection of test functions are provided by many authors. The main purpose of this paper is to present the necessary and sufficient conditions on the weights to ensure boundedness of the dyadic paraproduct directly.

Let M be a semi-invariant submanifold of codimension 3 with almost contact metric structure (𝜙, ξ, η, g) in a complex space form M_n+1(c), c ≠ 0. We denote by R_ξ and R'_X be the structure Jacobi operator with respect to the structure vector ξ and be R'_X = (∇_XR)(·, X)X for any unit vector field X on M, respectively. Suppose that the third fundamental form t satisfies dt(X, Y) = 2𝜃g(𝜙X, Y) for a scalar 𝜃(≠ 2c) and any vector fields X and Y on M. In this paper, we prove that if it satisfies R_ξ𝜙 = 𝜙R_ξ and at the same time R'_ξ = 0, then M is a Hopf real hypersurfaces of type (A), provided that the scalar curvature ${\bar{r}}$ of M holds ${\bar{r}}-2(n-1)c{\leq}0$.

Huang et al. proved that the n by n upper triangular matrix ring over a domain is weakly reversible-over-center by using the property of regular matrices. In this article we provide a concrete proof which is able to be available in the related study of centers. Next we extend an example of weakly reversible-over-center, which was argued by Huang et al., to the general case.

We explore the Pauli table C^(-1) and nonzero Pauli table W. Recurrence rules and interrelationships of any k slope diagonal sums over C^(-1) and W are studied in connection with diagonal sums of the Pascal table C⁽¹⁾. Since diagonal sums of C⁽¹⁾ are Fibonacci numbers, any k slope diagonal sums over C^(-1) and W are explained by Fibonacci numbers.
