The Groups of Symmetric
Genus Three,
pp. 573-601.
ABSTRACT.
A finite group G can be represented as a group of automorphisms of a compact
Riemann surface. The symmetric genus sigma(G) is the minimum genus of any
Riemann surface on which G acts (possibly reversing orientation). Here we
classify the groups of symmetric genus three. There are exactly three such
groups; these groups are Z2
x Z2 x S4, PSL(2,7) and PGL(2,7). We use the standard
representation of a finite group G as a quotient of a non-euclidean
crystallographic group by a Fuchsian surface group. We also employ the
correspondence between Riemann surfaces with large automorphism groups and
regular maps. The completed classification of the regular maps of genus three is
quite useful here.

Lexicographic Products of
Ordered Sets and Lattices,
pp. 591-601.
ABSTRACT.
In this paper we are concerned with lexicographic products of ordered sets,
which are much more complicated than lexicographic sums of ordered sets. We show
that the lexicographic product of ranked ordered sets over a finite ordered set
is ranked, and we actually compute the height of every element in the
lexicographic product of arbitrary ordered sets of finite length over a finite
ordered set. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the
lexicographic product of (distributive, modular) lattices over a well-founded
set to be a (distributive, modular) lattice.

Locally
Half-Factorial Domains.
pp. 617-630.
ABSTRACT. An integral domain R is a half-factorial
domain (HFD) if every nonzero nonunit of R is a product of irreducibles and
any two factorizations of a nonzero nonunit of R into the product of
irreducibles have the same length. In this paper, we study integral domains
R such that each proper localization R_S of R in an HFD. We are mainly
interested in the case when R is a Dedekind domain.
Spectral Sequences on
Sasakian and Cosymplectic Manifolds,
pp. 631-649.
ABSTRACT.
In this paper a spectral sequence {Er(M)} associated with the double
complex of basic forms of a Sasakian or cosymplectic manifold M is introduced.
This spectral sequence can be considered as the version for Sasakian and
cosymplectic manifolds of the spectral sequence of Frölicher for complex
manifolds. We prove that {Er(M)} degenerates at the first level. The
relation between {E1(M)} and the space of the harmonic complex forms
on M is given.

Boundary Geometry and
Location of Singularities for Solutions to the Dirichlet Problem for Tricomi
Type Equations, pp.
709-731.
ABSTRACT.
For a class of mixed type partial differential equations, the effect of locating
singularities at the boundary on interior regularity is analyzed for solutions
to the Dirichlet problem. Singularities are always present in this problem which
is overdetermined with respect to spaces of classical regularity. Necessary and
sufficient conditions for interior smoothness are given in terms of microlocal
regularity at the boundary. It is shown that interior singularities are detected
and generated by singularities at the boundary in the hyperbolic region. A
trapped gliding ray phenomenon is demonstrated at parabolic boundary points
under a sharp geometric hypothesis which yields a necessary condition for the
presence of isolated singularities at the boundary. The techniques involve known
propagation of singularities theorems along the generalized bicharacteristic
flow together with a global analysis of a relevant Hamiltonian system and a
complete microlocal classification of covectors tangent to the boundary.
Multiplicity Results
for the Ginzburg-Landau Equation in Presence of Symmetries,
pp. 733-764.
ABSTRACT.
We prove various multiplicity results for the Ginzburg-Landau equation, when
the boundary data or the manifold on which the equation is defined, verify some
equivariant conditions. These results apply in particular to the functional
appearing in the theory of superconductivity. Our arguments are based on the use
of an S1 index (as introduced by Fadell and Rabinowitz).
