| Holomorphic Generation of Continuous Inverse Algebras
Biller, Harald
We study complex commutative Banach algebras (and, more generally, continuous inverse algebras) in which the holomorphic functions of a fixed $n$-tuple of elements are dense. In particular, we characterize the compact subsets of~$\C^n$ which appear as joint spectra of such $n$-tuples. The characterization is compared with several established notions of holomorphic convexity by means of approximation conditions.
| Classification of Ding's Schubert Varieties: Finer Rook Equivalence
Develin, Mike; Martin, Jeremy L.; Reiner, Victor
K.~Ding studied a class of Schubert varieties $X_\lambda$ in type A partial flag manifolds, indexed by integer partitions $\lambda$ and in bijection with dominant permutations. He observed that the Schubert cell structure of $X_\lambda$ is indexed by maximal rook placements on the Ferrers board $B_\lambda$, and that the integral cohomology groups $H^*(X_\lambda;\:\Zz)$, $H^*(X_\mu;\:\Zz)$ are additively isomorphic exactly when the Ferrers boards $B_\lambda, B_\mu$ satisfy the combinatorial condition of rook-equivalence.
| Some Results on the Schroeder--Bernstein Property for Separable Banach Spaces
Ferenczi, Valentin; Galego, Elói Medina
We construct a continuum of mutually non-isomorphic separable Banach spaces which are complemented in each other. Consequently, the Schroeder--Bernstein Index of any of these spaces is $2^{\aleph_0}$. Our construction is based on a Banach space introduced by W. T. Gowers and B. Maurey in 1997. We also use classical descriptive set theory methods, as in some work of the first author and C. Rosendal, to improve some results of P. G. Casazza and of N. J. Kalton on the Schroeder--Bernstein Property for spaces with an unconditional finite-dimensional Schauder decomposition.
| On the Convergence of a Class of Nearly Alternating Series
Foster, J. H.; Serbinowska, Monika
Let $C$ be the class of convex sequences of real numbers. The quadratic irrational numbers can be partitioned into two types as follows. If $\alpha$ is of the first type and $(c_k) \in C$, then $\sum (-1)^{\lfloor k\alpha \rfloor} c_k$ converges if and only if $c_k \log k \rightarrow 0$. If $\alpha$ is of the second type and $(c_k) \in C$, then $\sum (-1)^{\lfloor k\alpha \rfloor} c_k$ converges if and only if $\sum c_k/k$ converges. An example of a quadratic irrational of the first type is $\sqrt{2}$, and an example of the second type is $\sqrt{3}$. The analysis of this problem relies heavily on the representation of $ \alpha$ as a simple continued fraction and on properties of the sequences of partial sums $S(n)=\sum_{k=1}^n (-1)^{\lfloor k\alpha \rfloor}$ and double partial sums $T(n)=\sum_{k=1}^n S(k)$.
| On Fiber Cones of $\m$-Primary Ideals
Jayanthan, A. V.; Puthenpurakal, Tony J.; Verma, J. K.
Two formulas for the multiplicity of the fiber cone $F(I)=\bigoplus_{n=0}^{\infty} I^n/\m I^n$ of an $\m$-primary ideal of a $d$-dimensional Cohen--Macaulay local ring $(R,\m)$ are derived in terms of the mixed multiplicity $e_{d-1}(\m | I)$, the multiplicity $e(I)$, and superficial elements. As a consequence, the Cohen--Macaulay property of $F(I)$ when $I$ has minimal mixed multiplicity or almost minimal mixed multiplicity is characterized in terms of the reduction number of $I$ and lengths of certain ideals. We also characterize the Cohen--Macaulay and Gorenstein properties of fiber cones of $\m$-primary ideals with a $d$-generated minimal reduction $J$ satisfying $\ell(I^2/JI)=1$ or $\ell(I\m/J\m)=1.$
| Smooth Values of the Iterates of the Euler Phi-Function
Lamzouri, Youness
Let $\phi(n)$ be the Euler phi-function, define $\phi_0(n) = n$ and $\phi_{k+1}(n)=\phi(\phi_{k}(n))$ for all $k\geq 0$. We will determine an asymptotic formula for the set of integers $n$ less than $x$ for which $\phi_k(n)$ is $y$-smooth, conditionally on a weak form of the Elliott--Halberstam conjecture.
| On Certain Classes of Unitary Representations for Split Classical Groups
Muić, Goran
In this paper we prove the unitarity of duals of tempered representations supported on minimal parabolic subgroups for split classical $p$-adic groups. We also construct a family of unitary spherical representations for real and complex classical groups
| Endomorphism Algebras of Kronecker Modules Regulated by Quadratic Function Fields
Okoh, F.; Zorzitto, F.
Purely simple Kronecker modules ${\mathcal M}$, built from an algebraically closed field $K$, arise from a triplet $(m,h,\alpha)$ where $m$ is a positive integer, $h\colon\ktil\ar \{\infty,0,1,2,3,\dots\}$ is a height function, and $\alpha$ is a $K$-linear functional on the space $\krx$ of rational functions in one variable $X$. Every pair $(h,\alpha)$ comes with a polynomial $f$ in $K(X)[Y]$ called the regulator. When the module ${\mathcal M}$ admits non-trivial endomorphisms, $f$ must be linear or quadratic in $Y$. In that case ${\mathcal M}$ is purely simple if and only if $f$ is an irreducible quadratic. Then the $K$-algebra $\edm\cm$ embeds in the quadratic function field $\krx[Y]/(f)$. For some height functions $h$ of infinite support $I$, the search for a functional $\alpha$ for which $(h,\alpha)$ has regulator $0$ comes down to having functions $\eta\colon I\ar K$ such that no planar curve intersects the graph of $\eta$ on a cofinite subset. If $K$ has characterictic not $2$, and the triplet $(m,h,\alpha)$ gives a purely-simple Kronecker module ${\mathcal M}$ having non-trivial endomorphisms, then $h$ attains the value $\infty$ at least once on $\ktil$ and $h$ is finite-valued at least twice on $\ktil$. Conversely all these $h$ form part of such triplets. The proof of this result hinges on the fact that a rational function $r$ is a perfect square in $\krx$ if and only if $r$ is a perfect square in the completions of $\krx$ with respect to all of its valuations.
| On Two Exponents of Approximation Related to a Real Number and Its Square
Roy, Damien
For each real number $\xi$, let $\lambdahat_2(\xi)$ denote the supremum of all real numbers $\lambda$ such that, for each sufficiently large $X$, the inequalities $|x_0| \le X$, $|x_0\xi-x_1| \le X^{-\lambda}$ and $|x_0\xi^2-x_2| \le X^{-\lambda}$ admit a solution in integers $x_0$, $x_1$ and $x_2$ not all zero, and let $\omegahat_2(\xi)$ denote the supremum of all real numbers $\omega$ such that, for each sufficiently large $X$, the dual inequalities $|x_0+x_1\xi+x_2\xi^2| \le X^{-\omega}$, $|x_1| \le X$ and $|x_2| \le X$ admit a solution in integers $x_0$, $x_1$ and $x_2$ not all zero. Answering a question of Y.~Bugeaud and M.~Laurent, we show that the exponents $\lambdahat_2(\xi)$ where $\xi$ ranges through all real numbers with $[\bQ(\xi)\wcol\bQ]>2$ form a dense subset of the interval $[1/2, (\sqrt{5}-1)/2]$ while, for the same values of $\xi$, the dual exponents $\omegahat_2(\xi)$ form a dense subset of $[2, (\sqrt{5}+3)/2]$. Part of the proof rests on a result of V.~Jarn\'{\i}k showing that $\lambdahat_2(\xi) = 1-\omegahat_2(\xi)^{-1}$ for any real number $\xi$ with $[\bQ(\xi)\wcol\bQ]>2$.
| Harmonic Analysis on Metrized Graphs
Baker, Matt; Rumely, Robert
This paper studies the Laplacian operator on a metrized graph, and its spectral theory.
| Weighted Inequalities for Hardy--Steklov Operators
Bernardis, A. L.; Martín-Reyes, F. J.; Salvador, P. Ortega
We characterize the pairs of weights $(v,w)$ for which the operator $Tf(x)=g(x)\int_{s(x)}^{h(x)}f$ with $s$ and $h$ increasing and continuous functions is of strong type $(p,q)$ or weak type $(p,q)$ with respect to the pair $(v,w)$ in the case $0<q<p$ and $1<p<\infty$. The result for the weak type is new while the characterizations for the strong type improve the ones given by H.~P. Heinig and G. Sinnamon. In particular, we do not assume differentiability properties on $s$ and $h$ and we obtain that the strong type inequality $(p,q)$, $q<p$, is characterized by the fact that the function $$\Phi(x)=\sup \Bigl(\int_c^dg^qw\Bigr)^{1/p} \Bigl(\int_{s(d)}^{h(c)}v^{1-p'}\Bigr)^{1/p'}$$ belongs to $L^{r}(g^qw)$, where $1/r=1/q-1/p$ and the supremum is taken over all $c$ and $d$ such that $c\le x\le d$ and $s(d)\leq h(c)$.
| Bol Loops of Nilpotence Class Two
Chein, Orin; Goodaire, Edgar G.
Call a non-Moufang Bol loop minimally non-Moufang if every proper subloop is Moufang and minimally nonassociative if every proper subloop is associative. We prove that these concepts are the same for Bol loops which are nilpotent of class two and in which certain associators square to $1$. In the process, we derive many commutator and associator identities which hold in such loops.
| Growth and Zeros of the Zeta Function for Hyperbolic Rational Maps
Christianson, Hans
This paper describes new results on the growth and zeros of the Ruelle zeta function for the Julia set of a hyperbolic rational map. It is shown that the zeta function is bounded by $\exp(C_K |s|^{\delta})$ in strips $|\Real s| \leq K$, where $\delta$ is the dimension of the Julia set. This leads to bounds on the number of zeros in strips (interpreted as the Pollicott--Ruelle resonances of this dynamical system). An upper bound on the number of zeros in polynomial regions $\{|\Real s | \leq |\Imag s|^\alpha\}$ is given, followed by weaker lower bound estimates in strips $\{\Real s > -C, |\Imag s|\leq r\}$, and logarithmic neighbourhoods $\{ |\Real s | \leq \rho \log |\Imag s| \}$. Recent numerical work of Strain--Zworski suggests the upper bounds in strips are optimal.
| Endomorphism Rings of Finite Global Dimension
Leuschke, Graham J.
For a commutative local ring $R$, consider (noncommutative) $R$-algebras $\Lambda$ of the form $\Lambda = \operatorname{End}_R(M)$ where $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras $\Lambda$ of finite global dimension can be viewed as potential substitutes for, or analogues of, a resolution of singularities of $\operatorname{Spec} R$. For example, Van den Bergh has shown that a three-dimensional Gorenstein normal $\mathbb{C}$-algebra with isolated terminal singularities has a crepant resolution of singularities if and only if it has such an algebra $\Lambda$ with finite global dimension and which is maximal Cohen--Macaulay over $R$ (a ``noncommutative crepant resolution of singularities''). We produce algebras $\Lambda=\operatorname{End}_R(M)$ having finite global dimension in two contexts: when $R$ is a reduced one-dimensional complete local ring, or when $R$ is a Cohen--Macaulay local ring of finite Cohen--Macaulay type. If in the latter case $R$ is Gorenstein, then the construction gives a noncommutative crepant resolution of singularities in the sense of Van den Bergh.
| Weak Semiprojectivity in Purely Infinite Simple $C^*$-Algebras
Lin, Huaxin
Let $A$ be a separable amenable purely infinite simple \CA which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. We prove that $A$ is weakly semiprojective if and only if $K_i(A)$ is a countable direct sum of finitely generated groups ($i=0,1$). Therefore, if $A$ is such a \CA, for any $\ep>0$ and any finite subset ${\mathcal F}\subset A$ there exist $\dt>0$ and a finite subset ${\mathcal G}\subset A$ satisfying the following: for any contractive positive linear map $L: A\to B$ (for any \CA $B$) with $ \|L(ab)-L(a)L(b)\|<\dt$ for $a, b\in {\mathcal G}$ there exists a homomorphism $h\from A\to B$ such that $ \|h(a)-L(a)\|<\ep$ for $a\in {\mathcal F}$.
| Zeta Functions of Supersingular Curves of Genus 2
Maisner, Daniel; Nart, Enric
We determine which isogeny classes of supersingular abelian surfaces over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $2$ contain jacobians. We deal with this problem in a direct way by computing explicitly the zeta function of all supersingular curves of genus $2$. Our procedure is constructive, so that we are able to exhibit curves with prescribed zeta function and find formulas for the number of curves, up to $k$-isomorphism, leading to the same zeta function.
| Le splitting pour l'opérateur de Klein--Gordon: une approche heuristique et numérique
Servat, E.
Dans cet article on \'etudie la diff\'erence entre les deux premi\`eres valeurs propres, le splitting, d'un op\'erateur de Klein--Gordon semi-classique unidimensionnel, dans le cas d'un potentiel sym\'etrique pr\'esentant un double puits. Dans le cas d'une petite barri\`ere de potentiel, B. Helffer et B. Parisse ont obtenu des r\'esultats analogues \`a ceux existant pour l'op\'erateur de Schr\"odinger. Dans le cas d'une grande barri\`ere de potentiel, on obtient ici des estimations des tranform\'ees de Fourier des fonctions propres qui conduisent \`a une conjecture du splitting. Des calculs num\'eriques viennent appuyer cette conjecture.
| On Cabled Knots and Vassiliev Invariants (Not) Contained in Knot Polynomials
Stoimenow, A.
It is known that the Brandt--Lickorish--Millett--Ho polynomial $Q$ contains Casson's knot invariant. Whether there are (essentially) other Vassiliev knot invariants obtainable from $Q$ is an open problem. We show that this is not so up to degree $9$. We also give the (apparently) first examples of knots not distinguished by 2-cable HOMFLY polynomials which are not mutants. Our calculations provide evidence of a negative answer to the question whether Vassiliev knot invariants of degree $d \le 10$ are determined by the HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials and their 2-cables, and for the existence of algebras of such Vassiliev invariants not isomorphic to the algebras of their weight systems.
| $\SL_n$, Orthogonality Relations and Transfer
Badulescu, Alexandru Ioan
Let $\pi$ be a square integrable representation of $G'=\SL_n(D)$, with $D$ a central division algebra of finite dimension over a local field $F$ of non-zero characteristic. We prove that, on the elliptic set, the character of $\pi$ equals the complex conjugate of the orbital integral of one of the pseudocoefficients of~$\pi$. We prove also the orthogonality relations for characters of square integrable representations of $G'$. We prove the stable transfer of orbital integrals between $\SL_n(F)$ and its inner forms.
| Searching for Absolute $\mathcal{CR}$-Epic Spaces
Barr, Michael; Kennison, John F.; Raphael, R.
In previous papers, Barr and Raphael investigated the situation of a topological space $Y$ and a subspace $X$ such that the induced map $C(Y)\to C(X)$ is an epimorphism in the category $\CR$ of commutative rings (with units). We call such an embedding a $\CR$-epic embedding and we say that $X$ is absolute $\CR$-epic if every embedding of $X$ is $\CR$-epic. We continue this investigation. Our most notable result shows that a Lindel\"of space $X$ is absolute $\CR$-epic if a countable intersection of $\beta X$-neighbourhoods of $X$ is a $\beta X$-neighbourhood of $X$. This condition is stable under countable sums, the formation of closed subspaces, cozero-subspaces, and being the domain or codomain of a perfect map. A strengthening of the Lindel\"of property leads to a new class with the same closure properties that is also closed under finite products. Moreover, all \s-compact spaces and all Lindel\"of $P$-spaces satisfy this stronger condition. We get some results in the non-Lindel\"of case that are sufficient to show that the Dieudonn\'e plank and some closely related spaces are absolute $\CR$-epic.
| Osculating Varieties of Veronese Varieties and Their Higher Secant Varieties
Bernardi, A.; Catalisano, M. V.; Gimigliano, A.; Idà, M.
We consider the $k$-osculating varieties $O_{k,n.d}$ to the (Veronese) $d$-uple embeddings of $\PP^n$. We study the dimension of their higher secant varieties via inverse systems (apolarity). By associating certain 0-dimensional schemes $Y\subset \PP^n$ to $O^s_{k,n,d}$ and by studying their Hilbert functions, we are able, in several cases, to determine whether those secant varieties are defective or not.
| Cyclic Groups and the Three Distance Theorem
Chevallier, Nicolas
We give a two dimensional extension of the three distance Theorem. Let $\theta$ be in $\mathbf{R}^{2}$ and let $q$ be in $\mathbf{N}$. There exists a triangulation of $\mathbf{R}^{2}$ invariant by $\mathbf{Z}^{2}$-translations, whose set of vertices is $\mathbf{Z}^{2}+\{0,\theta,\dots,q\theta\}$, and whose number of different triangles, up to translations, is bounded above by a constant which does not depend on $\theta$ and $q$.
| Computations of Elliptic Units for Real Quadratic Fields
Dasgupta, Samit
Let $K$ be a real quadratic field, and $p$ a rational prime which is inert in $K$. Let $\alpha$ be a modular unit on $\Gamma_0(N)$. In an earlier joint article with Henri Darmon, we presented the definition of an element $u(\alpha, \tau) \in K_p^\times$ attached to $\alpha$ and each $\tau \in K$. We conjectured that the $p$-adic number $u(\alpha, \tau)$ lies in a specific ring class extension of $K$ depending on $\tau$, and proposed a ``Shimura reciprocity law" describing the permutation action of Galois on the set of $u(\alpha, \tau)$. This article provides computational evidence for these conjectures. We present an efficient algorithm for computing $u(\alpha, \tau)$, and implement this algorithm with the modular unit $\alpha(z) = \Delta(z)^2\Delta(4z)/\Delta(2z)^3.$ Using $p = 3, 5, 7,$ and $11$, and all real quadratic fields $K$ with discriminant $D < 500$ such that $2$ splits in $K$ and $K$ contains no unit of negative norm, we obtain results supporting our conjectures. One of the theoretical results in this paper is that a certain measure used to define $u(\alpha, \tau)$ is shown to be $\mathbf{Z}$-valued rather than only $\mathbf{Z}_p \cap \mathbf{Q}$-valued; this is an improvement over our previous result and allows for a precise definition of $u(\alpha, \tau)$, instead of only up to a root of unity.
| Cardinal Invariants of Analytic $P$-Ideals
Hernández-Hernández, Fernando; Hrušák, Michael
We study the cardinal invariants of analytic $P$-ideals, concentrating on the ideal $\mathcal{Z}$ of asymptotic density zero. Among other results we prove $ \min\{ \mathfrak{b},\cov\ (\mathcal{N}) \} \leq\cov^{\ast}(\mathcal{Z}) \leq\max\{ \mathfrak{b},\non(\mathcal{N}) \right\}. $
| Eigenvalues, $K$-theory and Minimal Flows
Itzá-Ortiz, Benjamín A.
Let $(Y,T)$ be a minimal suspension flow built over a dynamical system $(X,S)$ and with (strictly positive, continuous) ceiling function $f\colon X\to\R$. We show that the eigenvalues of $(Y,T)$ are contained in the range of a trace on the $K_0$-group of $(X,S)$. Moreover, a trace gives an order isomorphism of a subgroup of $K_0(\cprod{C(X)}{S})$ with the group of eigenvalues of $(Y,T)$. Using this result, we relate the values of $t$ for which the time-$t$ map on the minimal suspension flow is minimal with the $K$-theory of the base of this suspension.
| Preduals and Nuclear Operators Associated with Bounded, $p$-Convex, $p$-Concave and Positive $p$-Summing Operators
Labuschagne, C. C. A.
We use Krivine's form of the Grothendieck inequality to renorm the space of bounded linear maps acting between Banach lattices. We construct preduals and describe the nuclear operators associated with these preduals for this renormed space of bounded operators as well as for the spaces of $p$-convex, $p$-concave and positive $p$-summing operators acting between Banach lattices and Banach spaces. The nuclear operators obtained are described in terms of factorizations through classical Banach spaces via positive operators.
| Distance from Idempotents to Nilpotents
MacDonald, Gordon W.
We give bounds on the distance from a non-zero idempotent to the set of nilpotents in the set of $n\times n$ matrices in terms of the norm of the idempotent. We construct explicit idempotents and nilpotents which achieve these distances, and determine exact distances in some special cases.
| Division Algebras of Prime Degree and Maximal Galois $p$-Extensions
Mináč, J.; Wadsworth, A.
Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and let $F$ be a field of characteristic not $p$ and not containing the group $\mu_p$ of $p$-th roots of unity. We consider cyclic $p$-algebras over $F$ by descent from $L = F(\mu_p)$. We generalize a theorem of Albert by showing that if $\mu_{p^n} \subseteq L$, then a division algebra $D$ of degree $p^n$ over $F$ is a cyclic algebra if and only if there is $d\in D$ with $d^{p^n}\in F - F^p$. Let $F(p)$ be the maximal $p$-extension of $F$. We show that $F(p)$ has a noncyclic algebra of degree $p$ if and only if a certain eigencomponent of the $p$-torsion of $\Br(F(p)(\mu_p))$ is nontrivial. To get a better understanding of $F(p)$, we consider the valuations on $F(p)$ with residue characteristic not $p$, and determine what residue fields and value groups can occur. Our results support the conjecture that the $p$ torsion in $\Br(F(p))$ is always trivial.
| Hecke $L$-Functions and the Distribution of Totally Positive Integers
Ash, Avner; Friedberg, Solomon
Let $K$ be a totally real number field of degree $n$. We show that the number of totally positive integers (or more generally the number of totally positive elements of a given fractional ideal) of given trace is evenly distributed around its expected value, which is obtained from geometric considerations. This result depends on unfolding an integral over a compact torus.
| Algèbres de Lie d'homotopie associées à une proto-bigèbre de Lie
Bangoura, Momo
On associe \`a toute structure de proto-big\`ebre de Lie sur un espace vectoriel $F$ de dimension finie des structures d'alg\`ebre de Lie d'homotopie d\'efinies respectivement sur la suspension de l'alg\`ebre ext\'erieure de $F$ et celle de son dual $F^*$. Dans ces alg\`ebres, tous les crochets $n$-aires sont nuls pour $n \geq 4$ du fait qu'ils proviennent d'une structure de proto-big\`ebre de Lie. Plus g\'en\'eralement, on associe \`a un \'el\'ement de degr\'e impair de l'alg\`ebre ext\'erieure de la somme directe de $F$ et $F^*$, une collection d'applications multilin\'eaires antisym\'etriques sur l'alg\`ebre ext\'erieure de $F$ (resp.\ $F^*$), qui v\'erifient les identit\'es de Jacobi g\'en\'eralis\'ees, d\'efinissant les alg\`ebres de Lie d'homotopie, si l'\'el\'ement donn\'e est de carr\'e nul pour le grand crochet de l'alg\`ebre ext\'erieure de la somme directe de $F$ et de~$F^*$.
| Jet Modules
Billig, Yuly
In this paper we classify indecomposable modules for the Lie algebra of vector fields on a torus that admit a compatible action of the algebra of functions. An important family of such modules is given by spaces of jets of tensor fields.
| Large Sieve Inequalities via Subharmonic Methods and the Mahler Measure of the Fekete Polynomials
Erdélyi, T.; Lubinsky, D. S.
We investigate large sieve inequalities such as \[ \frac{1}{m}\sum_{j=1}^{m}\psi ( \log | P( e^{i\tau _{j}}) | ) \leq \frac{C}{2\pi }\int_{0}^{2\pi }\psi \left( \log [ e| P( e^{i\tau }) | ] \right) \,d\tau , \] where $\psi $ is convex and increasing, $P$ is a polynomial or an exponential of a potential, and the constant $C$ depends on the degree of $P$, and the distribution of the points $0\leq \tau _{1}<\tau _{2}<\dots<\tau _{m}\leq 2\pi $. The method allows greater generality and is in some ways simpler than earlier ones. We apply our results to estimate the Mahler measure of Fekete polynomials.
| Geometry and Spectra of Closed Extensions of Elliptic Cone Operators
Gil, Juan B.; Krainer, Thomas; Mendoza, Gerardo A.
We study the geometry of the set of closed extensions of index $0$ of an elliptic differential cone operator and its model operator in connection with the spectra of the extensions, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of rays of minimal growth for such operators.
| The Choquet--Deny Equation in a Banach Space
Jaworski, Wojciech; Neufang, Matthias
Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $\pi$ a representation of $G$ by weakly$^*$ continuous isometries acting in a dual Banach space $E$. Given a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$, we study the Choquet--Deny equation $\pi(\mu)x=x$, $x\in E$. We prove that the solutions of this equation form the range of a projection of norm $1$ and can be represented by means of a ``Poisson formula'' on the same boundary space that is used to represent the bounded harmonic functions of the random walk of law $\mu$. The relation between the space of solutions of the Choquet--Deny equation in $E$ and the space of bounded harmonic functions can be understood in terms of a construction resembling the $W^*$-crossed product and coinciding precisely with the crossed product in the special case of the Choquet--Deny equation in the space $E=B(L^2(G))$ of bounded linear operators on $L^2(G)$. Other general properties of the Choquet--Deny equation in a Banach space are also discussed.
| Non-Backtracking Random Walks and Cogrowth of Graphs
Ortner, Ronald; Woess, Wolfgang
Let $X$ be a locally finite, connected graph without vertices of degree $1$. Non-backtracking random walk moves at each step with equal probability to one of the ``forward'' neighbours of the actual state, i.e., it does not go back along the preceding edge to the preceding state. This is not a Markov chain, but can be turned into a Markov chain whose state space is the set of oriented edges of $X$. Thus we obtain for infinite $X$ that the $n$-step non-backtracking transition probabilities tend to zero, and we can also compute their limit when $X$ is finite. This provides a short proof of old results concerning cogrowth of groups, and makes the extension of that result to arbitrary regular graphs rigorous. Even when $X$ is non-regular, but small cycles are dense in $X$, we show that the graph $X$ is non-amenable if and only if the non-backtracking $n$-step transition probabilities decay exponentially fast. This is a partial generalization of the cogrowth criterion for regular graphs which comprises the original cogrowth criterion for finitely generated groups of Grigorchuk and Cohen.
| Representations of the Fundamental Group of an $L$-Punctured Sphere Generated by Products of Lagrangian Involutions
Schaffhauser, Florent
In this paper, we characterize unitary representations of $\pi:=\piS$ whose generators $u_1, \dots, u_l$ (lying in conjugacy classes fixed initially) can be decomposed as products of two Lagrangian involutions $u_j=\s_j\s_{j+1}$ with $\s_{l+1}=\s_1$. Our main result is that such representations are exactly the elements of the fixed-point set of an anti-symplectic involution defined on the moduli space $\Mod:=\Hom_{\mathcal C}(\pi,U(n))/U(n)$. Consequently, as this fixed-point set is non-empty, it is a Lagrangian submanifold of $\Mod$. To prove this, we use the quasi-Hamiltonian description of the symplectic structure of $\Mod$ and give conditions on an involution defined on a quasi-Hamiltonian $U$-space $(M, \w, \mu\from M \to U)$ for it to induce an anti-symplectic involution on the reduced space $M/\!/U := \mu^{-1}(\{1\})/U$.
| Radical Ideals in Valuation Domains
van, John E. den
An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is called a radical ideal if $I={\mathcalR}(R)$ where ${\mathcal R}$ is a radical in the sense of Kurosh--Amitsur. The main theorem of this paper asserts that if $R$ is a valuation domain, then a proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is a radical ideal if and only if $I$ is a distinguished ideal of $R$ (the latter property means that if $J$ and $K$ are ideals of $R$ such that $J\subset I\subset K$ then we cannot have $I/J\cong K/I$ as rings) and that such an ideal is necessarily prime. Examples are exhibited which show that, unlike prime ideals, distinguished ideals are not characterizable in terms of a property of the underlying value group of the valuation domain.
| The Ground State Problem for a Quantum Hamiltonian Model Describing Friction
Bruneau, Laurent
In this paper, we consider the quantum version of a Hamiltonian model describing friction. This model consists of a particle which interacts with a bosonic reservoir representing a homogeneous medium through which the particle moves. We show that if the particle is confined, then the Hamiltonian admits a ground state if and only if a suitable infrared condition is satisfied. The latter is violated in the case of linear friction, but satisfied when the friction force is proportional to a higher power of the particle speed.
| Admissibility for a Class of Quasiregular Representations
Currey, Bradley N.
Given a semidirect product $G = N \rtimes H$ where $N$ is%% nilpotent, connected, simply connected and normal in $G$ and where $H$ is a vector group for which $\ad(\h)$ is completely reducible and $\mathbf R$-split, let $\tau$ denote the quasiregular representation of $G$ in $L^2(N)$. An element $\psi \in L^2(N)$ is said to be admissible if the wavelet transform $f \mapsto \langle f, \tau(\cdot)\psi\rangle$ defines an isometry from $L^2(N)$ into $L^2(G)$. In this paper we give an explicit construction of admissible vectors in the case where $G$ is not unimodular and the stabilizers in $H$ of its action on $\hat N$ are almost everywhere trivial. In this situation we prove orthogonality relations and we construct an explicit decomposition of $L^2(G)$ into $G$-invariant, multiplicity-free subspaces each of which is the image of a wavelet transform . We also show that, with the assumption of (almost-everywhere) trivial stabilizers, non-unimodularity is necessary for the existence of admissible vectors.
| A Weighted $L^2$-Estimate of the Witten Spinor in Asymptotically Schwarzschild Manifolds
Finster, Felix; Kraus, Margarita
We derive a weighted $L^2$-estimate of the Witten spinor in a complete Riemannian spin manifold~$(M^n, g)$ of non-negative scalar curvature which is asymptotically Schwarzschild. The interior geometry of~$M$ enters this estimate only via the lowest eigenvalue of the square of the Dirac operator on a conformal compactification of $M$.
| Operator Amenability of the Fourier Algebra in the $\cb$-Multiplier Norm
Forrest, Brian E.; Runde, Volker; Spronk, Nico
Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and let $A_{\cb}(G)$ denote the closure of $A(G)$, the Fourier algebra of $G$, in the space of completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$. If $G$ is a weakly amenable, discrete group such that $\cstar(G)$ is residually finite-dimensional, we show that $A_{\cb}(G)$ is operator amenable. In particular, $A_{\cb}(\free_2)$ is operator amenable even though $\free_2$, the free group in two generators, is not an amenable group. Moreover, we show that if $G$ is a discrete group such that $A_{\cb}(G)$ is operator amenable, a closed ideal of $A(G)$ is weakly completely complemented in $A(G)$ if and only if it has an approximate identity bounded in the $\cb$-multiplier norm.
| The Chen--Ruan Cohomology of Weighted Projective Spaces
Jiang, Yunfeng
In this paper we study the Chen--Ruan cohomology ring of weighted projective spaces. Given a weighted projective space ${\bf P}^{n}_{q_{0}, \dots, q_{n}}$, we determine all of its twisted sectors and the corresponding degree shifting numbers. The main result of this paper is that the obstruction bundle over any 3\nobreakdash-multi\-sector is a direct sum of line bundles which we use to compute the orbifold cup product. Finally we compute the Chen--Ruan cohomology ring of weighted projective space ${\bf P}^{5}_{1,2,2,3,3,3}$.
| Ideas from Zariski Topology in the Study of Cubical Homology
Kaczynski, Tomasz; Mrozek, Marian; Trahan, Anik
Cubical sets and their homology have been used in dynamical systems as well as in digital imaging. We take a fresh look at this topic, following Zariski ideas from algebraic geometry. The cubical topology is defined to be a topology in $\R^d$ in which a set is closed if and only if it is cubical. This concept is a convenient frame for describing a variety of important features of cubical sets. Separation axioms which, in general, are not satisfied here, characterize exactly those pairs of points which we want to distinguish. The noetherian property guarantees the correctness of the algorithms. Moreover, maps between cubical sets which are continuous and closed with respect to the cubical topology are precisely those for whom the homology map can be defined and computed without grid subdivisions. A combinatorial version of the Vietoris-Begle theorem is derived. This theorem plays the central role in an algorithm computing homology of maps which are continuous with respect to the Euclidean topology.
| The Geometry of $L_0$
Kalton, N. J.; Koldobsky, A.; Yaskin, V.; Yaskina, M.
Suppose that we have the unit Euclidean ball in $\R^n$ and construct new bodies using three operations --- linear transformations, closure in the radial metric, and multiplicative summation defined by $\|x\|_{K+_0L} = \sqrt{\|x\|_K\|x\|_L}.$ We prove that in dimension $3$ this procedure gives all origin-symmetric convex bodies, while this is no longer true in dimensions $4$ and higher. We introduce the concept of embedding of a normed space in $L_0$ that naturally extends the corresponding properties of $L_p$-spaces with $p\ne0$, and show that the procedure described above gives exactly the unit balls of subspaces of $L_0$ in every dimension. We provide Fourier analytic and geometric characterizations of spaces embedding in $L_0$, and prove several facts confirming the place of $L_0$ in the scale of $L_p$-spaces.
| On the Restriction to $\D^* \times \D^*$ of Representations of $p$-Adic $\GL_2(\D)$
Raghuram, A.
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a division algebra over a nonarchimedean local field. Given an irreducible representation $\pi$ of $\GL_2(\mathcal{D})$, we describe its restriction to the diagonal subgroup $\mathcal{D}^* \times \mathcal{D}^*$. The description is in terms of the structure of the twisted Jacquet module of the representation $\pi$. The proof involves Kirillov theory that we have developed earlier in joint work with Dipendra Prasad. The main result on restriction also shows that $\pi$ is $\mathcal{D}^* \times \mathcal{D}^*$-distinguished if and only if $\pi$ admits a Shalika model. We further prove that if $\mathcal{D}$ is a quaternion division algebra then the twisted Jacquet module is multiplicity-free by proving an appropriate theorem on invariant distributions; this then proves a multiplicity-one theorem on the restriction to $\mathcal{D}^* \times \mathcal{D}^*$ in the quaternionic case.
| Quotients jacobiens : une approche algébrique
Reydy, Carine
Le diagramme d'Eisenbud et Neumann d'un germe est un arbre qui repr\'esente ce germe et permet d'en calculer les invariants. On donne une d\'emonstration alg\'ebrique d'un r\'esultat caract\'erisant l'ensemble des quotients jacobiens d'un germe d'application $(f,g)$ \`a partir du diagramme d'Eisenbud et Neumann de $fg$.
| Ruled Exceptional Surfaces and the Poles of Motivic Zeta Functions
Rodrigues, B.
In this paper we study ruled surfaces which appear as an exceptional surface in a succession of blowing-ups. In particular we prove that the $e$-invariant of such a ruled exceptional surface $E$ is strictly positive whenever its intersection with the other exceptional surfaces does not contain a fiber (of $E$). This fact immediately enables us to resolve an open problem concerning an intersection configuration on such a ruled exceptional surface consisting of three nonintersecting sections. In the second part of the paper we apply the non-vanishing of $e$ to the study of the poles of the well-known topological, Hodge and motivic zeta functions.
| Meromorphic Continuation of Spherical Cuspidal Data Eisenstein Series
Alayont, Feryâl
Meromorphic continuation of the Eisenstein series induced from spherical, cuspidal data on parabolic subgroups is achieved via reworking Bernstein's adaptation of Selberg's third proof of meromorphic continuation.
| Sobolev Extensions of Hölder Continuous and Characteristic Functions on Metric Spaces
Björn, Anders; Björn, Jana; Shanmugalingam, Nageswari
We study when characteristic and H\"older continuous functions are traces of Sobolev functions on doubling metric measure spaces. We provide analytic and geometric conditions sufficient for extending characteristic and H\"older continuous functions into globally defined Sobolev functions.
| $k(n)$-Torsion-Free $H$-Spaces and $P(n)$-Cohomology
Boardman, J. Michael; Wilson, W. Stephen
The $H$-space that represents Brown--Peterson cohomology $\BP^k (-)$ was split by the second author into indecomposable factors, which all have torsion-free homotopy and homology. Here, we do the same for the related spectrum $P(n)$, by constructing idempotent operations in $P(n)$-cohomology $P(n)^k ($--$)$ in the style of Boardman--Johnson--Wilson; this relies heavily on the Ravenel--Wilson determination of the relevant Hopf ring. The resulting $(i- 1)$-connected $H$-spaces $Y_i$ have free connective Morava $\K$-homology $k(n)_* (Y_i)$, and may be built from the spaces in the $\Omega$-spectrum for $k(n)$ using only $v_n$-torsion invariants.
| $H^p$-Maximal Regularity and Operator Valued Multipliers on Hardy Spaces
Bu, Shangquan; Le, Christian Merdy
We consider maximal regularity in the $H^p$ sense for the Cauchy problem $u'(t) + Au(t) = f(t)\ (t\in \R)$, where $A$ is a closed operator on a Banach space $X$ and $f$ is an $X$-valued function defined on $\R$. We prove that if $X$ is an AUMD Banach space, then $A$ satisfies $H^p$-maximal regularity if and only if $A$ is Rademacher sectorial of type $<\frac{\pi}{2}$. Moreover we find an operator $A$ with $H^p$-maximal regularity that does not have the classical $L^p$-maximal regularity. We prove a related Mikhlin type theorem for operator valued Fourier multipliers on Hardy spaces $H^p(\R;X)$, in the case when $X$ is an AUMD Banach space.
| Calderón--Zygmund Operators Associated to Ultraspherical Expansions
Buraczewski, Dariusz; Martinez, Teresa; Torrea, José L.
We define the higher order Riesz transforms and the Littlewood--Paley $g$-function associated to the differential operator $L_\l f(\theta)=-f''(\theta)-2\l\cot\theta f'(\theta)+\l^2f(\theta)$. We prove that these operators are Calder\'{o}n--Zygmund operators in the homogeneous type space $((0,\pi),(\sin t)^{2\l}\,dt)$. Consequently, $L^p$ weighted, $H^1-L^1$ and $L^\infty-BMO$ inequalities are obtained.
| On Gap Properties and Instabilities of $p$-Yang--Mills Fields
Chen, Qun; Zhou, Zhen-Rong
We consider the $p$-Yang--Mills functional $(p\geq 2)$ defined as $\YM_p(\nabla):=\frac 1 p \int_M \|\rn\|^p$. We call critical points of $\YM_p(\cdot)$ the $p$-Yang--Mills connections, and the associated curvature $\rn$ the $p$-Yang--Mills fields. In this paper, we prove gap properties and instability theorems for $p$-Yang--Mills fields over submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ and $\mathbb{S}^{n+k}$.
| Generic Extensions and Canonical Bases for Cyclic Quivers
Deng, Bangming; Du, Jie; Xiao, Jie
We use the monomial basis theory developed by Deng and Du to present an elementary algebraic construction of the canonical bases for both the Ringel--Hall algebra of a cyclic quiver and the positive part $\bU^+$ of the quantum affine $\frak{sl}_n$. This construction relies on analysis of quiver representations and the introduction of a new integral PBW-like basis for the Lusztig $\mathbb Z[v,v^{-1}]$-form of~$\bU^+$.
| On Effective Witt Decomposition and the Cartan--Dieudonn{é Theorem
Fukshansky, Lenny
Let $K$ be a number field, and let $F$ be a symmetric bilinear form in $2N$ variables over $K$. Let $Z$ be a subspace of $K^N$. A classical theorem of Witt states that the bilinear space $(Z,F)$ can be decomposed into an orthogonal sum of hyperbolic planes and singular and anisotropic components. We prove the existence of such a decomposition of small height, where all bounds on height are explicit in terms of heights of $F$ and $Z$. We also prove a special version of Siegel's lemma for a bilinear space, which provides a small-height orthogonal decomposition into one-dimensional subspaces. Finally, we prove an effective version of the Cartan--Dieudonn{\'e} theorem. Namely, we show that every isometry $\sigma$ of a regular bilinear space $(Z,F)$ can be represented as a product of reflections of bounded heights with an explicit bound on heights in terms of heights of $F$, $Z$, and $\sigma$.
| Strichartz Inequalities for the Wave Equation with the Full Laplacian on the Heisenberg Group
Furioli, Giulia; Melzi, Camillo; Veneruso, Alessandro
We prove dispersive and Strichartz inequalities for the solution of the wave equation related to the full Laplacian on the Heisenberg group, by means of Besov spaces defined by a Littlewood--Paley decomposition related to the spectral resolution of the full Laplacian. This requires a careful analysis due also to the non-homogeneous nature of the full Laplacian. This result has to be compared to a previous one by Bahouri, G\'erard and Xu concerning the solution of the wave equation related to the Kohn Laplacian.
| On a Conjecture of Jacquet, Lai, and Rallis: Some Exceptional Cases
Ginzburg, David; Lapid, Erez
We prove two spectral identities. The first one relates the relative trace formula for the spherical variety $\GSpin(4,3)/G_2$ with a weighted trace formula for $\GL_2$. The second relates a spherical variety pertaining to $F_4$ to one of $\GSp(6)$. These identities are in accordance with a conjecture made by Jacquet, Lai, and Rallis, and are obtained without an appeal to a geometric comparison.

>Racing>2013 Sub-3:00 Marathon Goal Thread
rebuilding r2th v2.0
This was tongue in cheek re. the argument you had with that other guy.
BTW I would settle for a 'low-quality" 2:49....
Wind is not my friend.
I'm new at this so I don't know them all but which ones are on your bucket list?
btw-I didn't even realize there was a list. Sign me up , march 16, RNR DC marathon. Won't be my only shot this year...I think...
[Competitive] Jerk
This was tongue in cheek re. the argument you had with that other guy.
BTW I would settle for a 'low-quality" 2:49....
I totally got it and I was waiting for someone to call me on it
cc4life07 - My original plan was to run all 5 marathon majors within a single year. Then at the NYC Marathon expo I learned not only that the NYC marathon was cancelled but that Tokyo became the 6th Marathon Major. Since it's in February I just don't feel ready to run a marathon so close to Philly both financially and physically so I will not be able to run all Marathon Majors in a single calendar year. I will still try to complete all 6 majors in a 12 month period by running Tokyo in 2014.
Lagwagon- my race is may 5th too and im doing 18/70. We can compare notes !
cool. I havent figured out yet when the program starts (t-18), I suspect its early Jan but have some planning to do.
I was looking at the program last night, and realized I'm already basically at the level he suggests for the first mesocycle. I may tweak the plan a bit (ie adjust the miles up about 10% across the board). the 18/85 plan looks cool but with that many doubles i'll either end up unemployed or divorced (both?).
my goal is to overtrain enough such that my 2:58 hurts less than the 3:36 did.
This year I was 3:00:15.7 in my first marathon - paced for 2:55 and crashed in the last 8-10 km.
(First ?) Attempt of 2013 will be Ottawa, 26 May 13.
I'll be 34 on race day, and as I posted in the 2012 thread, I learned a couple race-day things, but I mostly just need more training.
Capered Crusader
I missed the age tracking... I'll be 47 for Little Rock...
The struggle is real.
I missed the age part as well. 48 on race day for me.
28 on race day for me. Not sure what he yes/no part is but I've already signed up so I'm committed.
28 on race day for me. Not sure what he yes/no part is but I've already signed up so I'm committed.
I may be wrong but I think it is for whether or not you've gone sub-3 already.
Also missed the age and have/have not run <3 before:
29 on race day...no previous sub-3.
RWOL refugee here, planning to run Boston with goal of <2:40. Current PR is 2:45:57. Age 26. I train with GregTR for anyone that doesn't know.
Okay, so I've actually read the first post now in it's entirety, and discovered that the other piece of data is whether or not we've been sub3 before, so yes... yes, I have.
Hi Clive,
Also missed the age part - will be 40 for race and yes previous sub 3's.
Hi all,
I'm 30, and I've run 2 marathons so far, the last being Boston '10 where I PR'd in 2:47. For 2013, I'm aiming for the Pittsburgh Marathon on 5/5, and Chicago on 10/13. The goal for Pittsburgh will be sub 2:40, as my shorter race times are better than they were in 2010, and the goal for Chicago will probably be mid-2:30's (although I probably shouldn't put anything down 10 months out). In the right format:
jackdyl11 (30/yes) -- 5MAY2013 -- Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, PA)
jackdyl11 (30/yes) -- 13OCT2013 -- Chicago (Chicago, IL)
In the spring my A race will actually be the Cherry Blossom 10-miler in DC (assuming I get in). Is anyone else planning on that?
Look forward to hearing from everyone!
RWOL's refugee too (though, still posting there from time to time)
47 years old. Ran 4 marathons. PR is 3:06:40 from last week's race at CIM.
Love this Training Log feature at this place and hope the forum will stay as fast as it is now.
Btw, does this place have a blog feature?

In my zeal Friday to praise House Republicans for dropping their self-destructive stance against raising the debt limit, I neglected to point out that they couldn't bring themselves to do so without picking a new fight with Democrats.
It's as if the House GOP can't stop itself from tilting at windmills.
Republican leaders announced Friday that their membership had agreed to support a three-month suspension of the debt limit, effectively shifting their fight for deeper spending cuts off the debt-limit bill to either (or both) of two looming spending bills: one to adjust more than $100 billion in across-the-board spending cuts due to take effect March 1, and another to provide funding for the federal government after its temporary appropriations run out March 27.
It was a savvy move. Because it doesn't actually raise the debt limit, the GOP can continue to threaten to block future increases unless Democrats agree to deep spending cuts. More important, it shifts the fight from the debt limit to spending bills, which is where it belongs.
Yet Republicans couldn't just make a tactical retreat. The temporary debt-limit waiver bill unveiled Monday includes a provision that would withhold the pay of lawmakers if their chamber fails to pass a budget resolution by April 15, as required by the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act. This little dagger is aimed squarely at Senate Democrats in general and their leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, in particular. With Reid at the helm, the Senate hasn't passed a budget resolution since 2009.

By: Nick de la Torre
In part two of our spring position battles series we will take a look at who will replace Florida's all time points leader, Caleb Sturgis. Florida fans have been spoiled the past four years with Sturgis as their placekicker. Sturgis leaves Florida with the most field goals in school history and was about as automatic as a college placekicker can be.
Kickers and punters are often overlooked on a football team. While the offense and defense grind out practice after practice of full-contact hitting under the hot Florida sun, the specialists can be found in the shade sipping tropical drinks in lounge chairs. Ok, that's not exactly what kickers and punters do at practice but you get the idea.
While a college placekicker is not typically the most impressive looking player on the field or the star of a team, consider their importance on the outcome of a game. In 2012 alone, 117 games were decided by three points or less. Just ask Brent Pease what Boise State could have done if they didn't miss field goals against Nevada in 2010 or against TCU in 2011.
The Players
Brad Phillips, SR
In three seasons at the University of Florida, Phillips has handled kickoff duties and been the primary placekicker in two games.
Phillips attempted one field goal last season, a miss against Missouri that gave the Tigers a chance to tie the game late in the fourth quarter.
Austin Hardin, R-Fr
Hardin was a member of the 2012 recruiting class but took a redshirt last season. He was an Under Armor All-American as a senior in high school and was ranked as the No. 1 overall kicker in the class by ESPN.
As a senior in high school Hardin connected on 13-of-20 field goal attempts with all seven missed field goals coming from at least 50-yards out.
This is really Hardin's job to lose. Hardin was recruited in 2011-12 to replace Caleb Sturgis. The plan was always to have him take a redshirt his first season on campus and then take over the kicking duties in 2013. It would take a Hardin cold streak and an outstanding performance from Phillips during spring practice to change that.

Falcons Roll over Tide 4-1
BARRE–With several of the Falcons main stays getting significant time off on Wednesday, it was the bench of the Falcons was the difference in the teams 4-1 win over Spaulding."Our bench was the difference maker," said Coach James McKenny, "I feel really comfortable with them out there. Clint (Provencha) especially provided a spark off the bench. He plays with a lot of heart and really raises the bar out there."Josh Puckett was the big offensive force in the game, tallying a goal and two assists in the win, but it was a play by the youngster Provencha that got the scoring started.With some nice foot work opening up a lane, the sophomore was able to find junior Chris Bronson whose shot hit off the post and went in for a 1-0 NC lead midway through the first half.In the second half it became Puckett time.He first hit Brian DeLaBruere with a pass and DeLabruere dribbled a shot into the net. He then blasted a goal of his own on a low shot from 20 yards out. Finally, on a set play, he crossed the ball into the 18 where a waiting Nick Kincaid got a head on the ball for the fourth and final goal for the Falcons on the afternoon.Spaulding would add a meaningless goal late in the game to break up the shutout for Logan Fortier, but McKenny to a big picture look at the game saying, "It would have been nice for Logan, but overall we played well. We won 50/50 balls, utilized space, made good passes, but most importantly we capitalized on our scoring chances, and that was a difference maker."They are going to need be on top of those chances today when Essex comes rolling into town. The Hornets have shut out all comers so far this season, and the red hot Falcons must bring their A plus game to Falcon field when the game gets rolling at 4:30.

(CNN) -- "Make us dream" read the message.
As the Liverpool supporters danced and sang at the Theatre of Dreams, the nightmare continued for Manchester United manager David Moyes.
A crushing 3-0 victory over United was the least Brendan Rodgers' side deserved as it outclassed and outfought an insipid and pitiful United.
Two goals from Steven Gerrard, both from the penalty spot and a Luis Suarez strike, condemned United to defeat and gave yet more credence that Liverpool is a serious title contender.
Liverpool, which sits four points behind leader Chelsea with a game in hand, was a class apart on an afternoon where United's deficiencies were laid bare for all to see.
Read: Can Liverpool win title?
"It's a fantastic day personally but we came here to win the game," Gerrard told Sky Sports.
"We'll enjoy tonight but we need to move on quickly. We've shown today we're genuine contenders and we'll fight to the end.
"We played a diamond today and totally bossed the midfield and controlled the game. The Manchester United defense will not have had a harder game than against our strikers today.
"We believe that we can win the league. But the easiest thing in football is to talk the talk. We have to treat Cardiff and Sunderland the same as Manchester United. I maybe got a bit cocky with the last penalty but scored the two that mattered most."
Last season, United finished 28 points clear of Liverpool on its way to winning the Premier League title.
Now, Moyes' side is 14 points behind and faces the embarrassment of not even managing to qualify for European football.
On Wednesday, United meets Greek side Olympiakos in the second leg of its last 16 Champions League tie needing to overturn a two-goal deficit to progress.
Failure would represent another disastrous episode in Moyes' reign since replacing Alex Ferguson at the end of last season.
Worse for United is the success of its greatest rival - Liverpool.
A fifth successive league victory was recorded with consummate ease as United's lack of cohesion afforded the likes of Suarez and strike partner Daniel Sturridge more room than they could ever have imagined.
Liverpool dominated the opening 45 minutes and went ahead when Rafael, already on a yellow card, handled inside the penalty area.
Rafael, fortunate not to be sent off, then watched on as Gerrard expertly placed the ball into the corner.
United, with Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie, all on the field, struggled to make any real impact.
Its only real opportunity of the first half came when Rooney's fierce effort was tipped away by Simon Mignolet in the Liverpool goal.
Quite what Moyes said to his players at halftime was unclear but he almost certainly not have expected what was to follow.
Just 24 second had elapsed when Phil Jones clumsily bundled over Joe Allen in the United penalty area and Gerrard swept home the spot kick.
United tried to respond and was unfortunate to be awarded a penalty when Glen Johnson appeared to handle.
Van Persie sent a header wide of the post as the home side attempted to gain a foothold in the game.
But any hope of a comeback should have been extinguished with 12 minutes to go when Nemanja Vidic was adjudged to have fouled Sturridge in the penalty area.
Vidic was shown a second yellow card and promptly dismissed but Gerrard could only hit the post on this occasion.
There was still time for Liverpool to appeal for a fourth penalty when Michael Carrick looked to have tripped Sturridge but referee Mark Clattenburg waved away the appeals.
Suarez should have added a third after outpacing the United defense but David de Gea produced a sublime save to deny the Liverpool striker.
But the Uruguayan didn't make the same mistake minutes later.
Sturridge attempted a shot from the edge of the penalty area and when the ball was deflected into Suarez's path, the forward coolly slotted the ball home.
The third and final goal sparked yet more jubilant scenes in the away section. "We're going to win the league," sang the Liverpool supporters.
Those chants may be premature but with Chelsea and Manchester City both still to visit Anfield, anything is possible.
"Make us dream" read the banner -- those dreams could yet come true.
In the day's other game, Arsenal defeated north London rival Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
Tomas Rosicky scored the only goal of the game after just 72 seconds.
The victory moves Arsenal to within four points of leader Chelsea with a game in hand.

An adjuvanted vaccine administered during the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic in Norway was not associated with a greater risk of fetal death, suggesting there is no reason to withhold flu vaccines from pregnant women, researchers said.
After accounting for potential confounders, the hazard ratio for fetal death for vaccinated versus unvaccinated pregnant women was 0.88 (95% CI 0.66 to 1.17), according to Siri Haberg, MD, PhD, of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Oslo, and colleagues.
Vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of receiving a clinical diagnosis of influenza (HR 0.30, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.34), which was itself associated with nearly double the risk of fetal death (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.07 to 3.41), the researchers reported online in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Given the danger posed by maternal influenza infection for fetal survival, our study adds to growing evidence that vaccination of pregnant women during an influenza pandemic does not harm -- and may benefit -- the fetus," Haberg and colleagues wrote.
"We found no basis for withholding influenza vaccination from pregnant women in their second or third trimester -- an important group, given that these women can be particularly vulnerable to the severe effects of influenza virus infection," wrote.
Two prior observational studies conducted in Denmark and Canada also showed no increased risk of stillbirth or other adverse birth outcomes related to vaccination during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.
"A study which shows that the vaccine has no adverse effect in pregnancy is reassuring because there isn't enough accumulated data in maternal immunization to be able to say that definitively, so this adds to that as well," John Treanor, MD, chief of the infectious diseases division at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York state, commented about the Norwegian study.
Pregnant women have an elevated risk of flu-related complications, which has been seen during seasonal influenza outbreaks and was observed during the 2009 pandemic. Because of that, pregnant women are considered a priority group for vaccination.
Before the 2009 pandemic, pregnant women in Norway were not routinely advised to get the trivalent seasonal influenza vaccine. During the pandemic, recommendations stated that they should get the AS03-adjuvanted monovalent pandemic vaccine (Pandemrix) in the second or third trimester.
"Although safety data for use of the Pandemrix vaccine in pregnant women were lacking at the time of the pandemic, studies in animals showed no reproductive toxicity, and it was considered safe for use during pregnancy," the researchers noted.
There were, however, some anecdotal reports of fetal deaths occurring after receipt of the pandemic vaccine.
Haberg and colleagues reviewed the potential correlation using Norwegian national registries and data on the reimbursement of primary care physicians. The analysis included 113,331 women ages 13 to 49 who gave birth in 2009 or 2010.
The overall rate of fetal mortality -- defined as any recorded miscarriage or stillbirth after 12 completed weeks of pregnancy -- was 4.3 deaths per 1,000 births.
Slightly more than half (54%) of the women received the pandemic vaccine during the second or third trimester, and after adjustment for age, parity, marital status, use of nutritional supplements during pregnancy, smoking during pregnancy, previous fetal death, and chronic medical conditions, vaccination was not significantly associated with the risk of fetal death.
"Since nearly all vaccinations occurred during the main pandemic wave, the estimated hazard ratio in effect compares vaccinated and unvaccinated women who were pregnant during the pandemic period," the authors noted.
Similarly, there were no associations between vaccination and other adverse birth outcomes, including preterm delivery, low birth weight at term, and a low Apgar score at term.
The authors acknowledged that the study possibly could be confounded if women with known risk factors for fetal death were more or less likely to be vaccinated. They pointed out, however, that adjusting for potential confounders had little effect on the risk estimates.

President Obama highlighted the importance of investing in education today – and of public-private partnerships – in a visit to TechBoston Academy, a 6th-12th grade public school in Boston.
While acknowledging the deficit and the tough fiscal realities, he stressed the success of schools like TechBoston and his desire to make that sort of education more widely available.
"We cannot cut back on the very investments that will help our economy grow and our nation compete and make sure that these young people succeed," Obama said.
TechBoston made sense as a setting to highlight educational innovation and shared responsibility for education.
It's an urban school that has shown marked success, especially when compared with others in the district: 82 percent of its students graduate, 92 percent of its first graduating class in 2006 went to college, and today, 94 percent of TechBoston graduates are in college – the first in their families to attend college, for 85 percent of them.
As its name implies, technology is a centerpiece of the school. TechBoston issues each student a laptop and requires students to take four years of science, four years of math, and four years of technology courses.
The school is a model of private-public partnerships, working closely with a local teacher residency program and numerous business partners, including Microsoft, Google, Cisco, and IBM. Created through a collaboration between the Boston Public Schools, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Boston Foundation, this "pilot school" enjoys much more flexiblity than most public schools, including the ability to have a longer school day and year. Pilot schools are part of a Boston program that allows certain schools freedoms similar to charter schools, though still run by the district and staffed with union employees.
"We need to recognize that the true path to reform has to involve partnerships between teachers and school administrators and communities," Obama said. "And we'll need a national education policy that tries to figure out how do we replicate success stories like TechBoston all across the country."
Obama also mentioned the $90 million contest he proposed in his 2012 budget. He hopes it will spur research and development in educational technology, he said, adding that it should "help create digital tutors that are as effective as personal tutors, and educational software that's as compelling as the best video game."
Named the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Education (ARPA-ED) the fund would be modeled after DARPA (the Defense Andvanced Research Projects Agency), the military program – launched in response to Sputnik – that developed many important technologies.
This emphasis on technology is relatively new in education. Typically, only about 0.2 percent of K-12 funding goes to research and development (R&D), according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan – far less than in virtually any other industry.
"We believe the potential in the education space is pretty amazing," he said in a conference call with reporters on Monday. "The IT revolution that has transformed so many sectors simply hasn't done the same in education."
Secretary Duncan cited some digital tutors that have been able to help students advance two grade levels within a year and courses that improve the more students use them as examples.
Some advocates of educational technology applaud the new initiative – to a point. Michael Horn, the executive director of education at the Innosight Institute, says he's "guardedly optimistic."
"This could go a long way toward answering some questions and developing critical technologies that deliver results," he says. Still, Mr. Horn worries that if the fund isn't accompanied by incentives for states and districts to adopt whatever comes out of this effort, then "it's a bit like pushing a rope – we will have learned things, but it won't change the practices."
Horn also wishes that ARPA-ED didn't define its objectives so narrowly as technology, but could also look more broadly into funding other kinds of research, like how the brain works, and then letting companies figure out how to best use that information to help students learn.
"This is a bit too much on the D, not enough on the R [of R&D]," Horn says.

Being an atheist made me accept the fact God is an evil drowning sadistic hell making none forgiving bastard on a good day, what then can we say of the foe nicknamed the devil in history as his counterpart?
Frankly I cant say he was the serpent in the garden since the devil's story is supposed to have a heavenly angel degraded with some angels, that's not a snake as far as I can tell. He didn't cause any of the medical term problems from psychosis to diseases. So really is there a need a need for a person to frown at the devil? You can actually count all the bad things he did on you're fingers in the bible, the one I accept as bad but God was more than willing to endorse it is what went down with Job.
The devil just want you to be as far as I can tell, the dethroning of God as the drowning mad man sounds like a good thing, he has no need for us to be in hell, he's been sent there against his will be God. Frankly as far as I can say the devil might be like part of the myth that's a good guy. Remember he had no part in jesus' death, and the end days madness is what God says.
For an atheist you can come up with a ton of reasons why it's a relief that God doesnt exist, can you name reasons why it's a relief the devil doesnt exist?

Your wording makes me wonder if you are truly Atheist or just a disenfranchised theist dabbling in agnosticism. The god of the Bible is nothing more than a mythology that reflects how some ancient peoples interpreted their world. The fact that ancient civilization so commonly imagined their world to be governed by sentient minds attests to a very common desire to discover reason in nature. The fact that these sentient minds were so often imagined as being hostile reflects an acceptance of the volatility of nature. The Abrahamic mythology strongly reveals the superstition/desire that the mercy of nature could some how be invoked.
The fact is that nature is volatile and not consistently hospitable, and so your apparent anger at a mythological being would be more accurately directed at the natural world. The concept of a 'devil' is nothing more than a mythological device used to imbue nature with a little more sympathy by attributing perceived volatility to some third party; likely in the hopes of discovering a means of warding off that third party.
My point is to actually ascertain the illogical fear of christian to cling to god partly from the fear of the considered 'the bad side' and the ULTIMATE EVIL. Not that I care about what or who the devil might be, I'm suggesting the logic of the devil as the ultimate ender of all that is good when you entertain the idea which is how you tackle a theist.
I guess I need to get used to the fact there are no theists on this site, kinda got used to a passive argument on the imaginary beings.
Well if you are going to imagine the characters of the Christian mythology from within the context of that mythology, then I would have to say that the devil is not a saint. From within that context, any assertion that the world is a terrible place is akin to a 13 year old lamenting that life is not worth living because his or her boyfriend or girlfriend just moved to Shelbyville. The creator gave you a wonderful opportunity in allowing you to experience the suffering of this world, for with it comes all the passion that it is life, and after it comes all the splendor of an eternity in his light.
The devil is the traitor of all traitors, not only for tempting you to turn away from that light but because he only does so so that you will know the suffering that he chose of his own volition. He knew the splendor of that light when he turned away from it, but he would trick you into turning away from it before you've even had the opportunity to experience all its glory. He does this because he is jealous of a gift that you have not yet even received, a gift that he has already thrown away.
Well, that's the Christian version of events. :)
If any of this were true, I like to think that Satan actually realized what a tyrant God was and rebelled; he was trying to enlighten Adam and Eve in the Garden... risking his own (snake) skin so they could have the knowledge that was forbidden from them. Maybe Satan knew what kind of wars would be fought in the name of Jesus, and that's why he "tempted" him in the wilderness to abandon his plan to be sacrificed/made a martyr of.
I'm way too tired to travel very far down this road, but I like my version better. I think Satan was the real hero!

I was just reading "Buddhist Psychology of Feelings" by Naw Kham La Dhammasami earlier and I wanted to identify whether what the author was saying was correct from a classical perspective, as it seems there is some inconsistency in what is being said.
Here the author talks about citta as "agent"...
pages 7-8 wrote:We can define mind (citta) as an activity, the process of being aware of an object. The problem with this definition is the question, "If there is no self, what is it that is aware?". The answer is that it is the citta itself that is aware of an object; citta is an "agent". Citta is also an instrument; the means by which the accompanying mental factors (cetasikas) are aware of an object.
... but then, just a few pages later, we find the author quoting the following commentary to the Satipatthana Sutta,...page 9 wrote:... brain research has revealed that, although the brain functions as a super-computer, it requires an external agent to the run it just as ordinary computers need to be programmed by men. Isn't that external agent the mind?
What the author is saying (pages 7-9) doesn't sound quite right to me, particularly on account of what the commentary (page 13) says.page 13 wrote:"Who feels? No being. Whose is the feeling [vedana]? Not of a being. Owing to what is there the feeling? Feeling can arise with (certain) things - forms, smells, and so forth - as objects. That bhikkhu knows, therefore, that there is a mere experiencing of feeling after the objectifying of a particular pleasure or painful physical basis or of one of indifference".
Are these two perspectives reconcilable or has the author diverged from classical Theravada orthodoxy by regarding citta as an agent?

Authors Can Sleep Easy Now; Paypal Reverses Its Censorship Decision
from the freedom-of-expression-is-not-dead dept
In a victory for free speech, PayPal today announced plans to revise their content policies to allow Smashwords writers full freedom to publish and sell legal ebooks.In addition to Smashwords' comments, PayPal went to its blog to publicly explain what this new policy means for ebook authors and readers.
This is a victory for all writers and readers. It removes credit card companies, banks and payment processors from the business of censoring legal fiction. It creates a new precedent that should allow other payment processors who have previously discriminated against legal fiction to relax their policies.
It will make more fiction more available to more readers. It gives writers greater freedom to express themselves. It gives readers more freedom to decide what they want to experience in the privacy of their own imagination.
First and foremost, we are going to focus this policy only on e-books that contain potentially illegal images, not e-books that are limited to just text. The policy will prohibit use of PayPal for the sale of e-books that contain child pornography, or e-books with text and obscene images of rape, bestiality or incest (as defined by the U.S. legal standard for obscenity: material that appeals to the prurient interest, depicts sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value).Under the new policy, only books with graphic images that fall under the US based Miller test will be affected. Going forward, PayPal will also be taking a more targeted approach to enforcement. Instead of focusing on entire classes of fiction, it will work on a book by book basis. This specific change should allow for a better process in which the affected authors can appeal the decision to remove their works while getting the individual focus such decisions deserve.
Just as has been seen with SOPA and ACTA, this decision by PayPal came about because the wider internet community came together to protest PayPal's earlier decision. As Mark describes in his blog post, it was the efforts of several advocacy groups, authors, bloggers, petition signers and the letters and phone calls from everyone that made this happen. This is the power of the digital culture we all share. We have the ability to change policies for the better of the world. I look forward to seeing what else is possible.

ER: Will Clooney Come Back? (The Saga Continues)
By Kristin Dos Santos
Fri Jan 16, 9:59 AM PST
It's been 15 years since George Clooney became a breakout star thanks to NBC's (then) megahit ER. As executive producer John Wells makes final preparations to finally close the doors of County, and other original stars (such as Anthony Edwards in his role of Dr. Mark Greene) do valedictory laps of their own, the question remains: Could Clooney come back?
Wells just updated us on where negotiations stand, and there's one last element that could make it happen...
According to Wells, "George is very busy, he's very handsome...[and] we've talked about [him coming back] a couple of times. It's George. We'll be shooting down there at the end, and if he comes by and says he wants to do something, he'll do it."
So what's that last element? "George loves practical jokes," says Wells, "so who knows." Basically, if George Clooney was on a kick one day, it could happen. Gotta love the idea of Clooney rolling up to the gates at Warner Brothers and telling the guard he's reporting for duty on ER
NBC just picked up three more episodes of ER, as well as a new John Wells drama called Southland. The show, formerly titled LAPD and then Police, stars Ben McKenzie and Michael Cudlitz (as well as many other familiar TV faces) as Los Angeles-area cops on the beat.
You can catch the two-hour series finale of ER (with or without Clooney) April 2 at 9 p.m. Southland premieres the following Thursday, April 9, at 10 p.m., taking over the slot ER miraculously held for 15 years running.
Do you think Clooney will do it? Do you think the ER crew could turn on a dime and produce a Clooney scene or episode on short notice? Would you want that? And what other ER alums are you waiting to see?

BRUSSELS, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- The European Union's Foreign Affairs Council Monday voted to lift some of its sanctions on Zimbabwe in recognition of political reforms made so far.
"The EU welcomes the agreement reached between the political parties in Zimbabwe on a final draft constitution and the announcement of a referendum," the European Union said in a statement on its website. "This step forward in the implementation of the Global Political Agreement adds further momentum to the reform process and paves the way for the holding of peaceful, transparent and credible elections later this year."
The EU agreed to suspend immediately its travel ban imposed on six members of the Zimbabwean government and to de-list 21 individuals and one entity subject to restrictive measures.
The European Union said it would be willing to remove remaining sanctions as Zimbabwe makes further progress, noting "a peaceful and credible constitutional referendum would represent an important milestone justifying an immediate suspension of the majority of all remaining EU targeted restrictive measures against individuals and entities."
The European Union called on all political parties in the country to "maintain the momentum allowing for the holding of democratic elections later this year and to complete the implementation of the [Global Political Agreement] and the [Southern African Development Community] road map."

Youngstown JuniperJuniperus horizontalis 'Plumo'
This trailing beauty has superb coloring. The featherlike evergreen foliage is bright silvery-green in the warmer months, taking on a purplish or bronze tinge as the weather gets colder. The Youngstown juniper works well for rock gardens, foundation plantings, retaining wall edges and erosion control.

1. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellazimuthinternet Apr 16, 2012 2:21 PM (in response to RobbienSly)
I wonder if it's actually embedding something in the file that marks it as "bad". You might try an experiment. Send yourself a test email and watch the spool so you can copy out your test email while it's there awaiting processing, and then send an idential message but break something first (close a port or something) so that the second email fails, and copy it out as well. Then run a diff on the two files and see what's different (besides the timestamps, etc.). Might not net anything, but who knows? If you figure this one out, I'm definitely going to want to know the answer. Best of luck.
2. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellRobbienSly Apr 18, 2012 12:23 PM (in response to azimuthinternet)
Good idea. I tried what you suggested (I have an application that sends out notices, and I punched it twice). I looked at the two emails--undeliverable and the one sent out (before it was sent), and they are exactly the same. I used "Ultracompare" which allows a binary comparison. The only difference was the file name itself. I'm wondering whether CF "remembers" undeliverable file names. The next time an undeliverable mail shows up I'll see if changing the name has any effect. You never know....
3. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellphil ashby Apr 25, 2012 7:58 AM (in response to RobbienSly)
We had a problem when we migrated to CF9 from 8- the cfmail structure worked a little different and it took us ages to work out what was going on...
On CF8 this worked
<cffmail subject="Foobar" to="firstname.lastname@example.com" from="Fred Bloggs">...</cfmail>
However, failed on CF9 - it turns out that on 9 it doesn't like the "from" being an undefined email with a space in the name -although if it said just "Fred", then it would work, which was why it took us so long to work out and may explain your apparently random issue. So, to get round it we had to restructure all our code like so:
<cffmail subject="Foobar" to="firstname.lastname@example.com" from="Fred Bloggs <firstname.lastname@example.com>">...</cfmail>
No idea if this is related to your problem, but it may be!
Good luck!
4. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellRobbienSly May 14, 2012 8:38 AM (in response to phil ashby)
Thanks for your input. I had your issue back in my CF 5 days, and ever since I have used your approach--using chr(60) and chr(62) for the greater than and less than symbols--to get around names with spaces..
This problem I am dealing with here appears to be related to the cfmail files themselves. Since I posted this, I tried a little experiment: One day when there were lots of undeliverables, I downloaded the undeliverable mail (our server is a virtual cloud server hosted by kickass.com) and uploaded them to a replicate virtual instance of the server on my desktop at home (I use VMWare to replicate the virtrual server as a development tool). Anyway, my VMWare server has the ability to mail out files through CF 9, so I uploaded the undeliverable mail to that spooler, and again, they would not go out, and were sent to the undelivr folder instead. This happened after rebooting my VMWare server as well, so I think the inability to send undeliverable mail has something to do with the mail file itself *after* it is sent to the undelivr directory, not with any state that CF is in (locks, etc.).
As I said above I have been comparing the spool files with the undeliverable files and I cannot see any differences in the files, but it appears that once these files are sent on to the undelivr folder thay are somehow marked as undeliverable and cannot be sent out even from another CF server.
Now it is possible that somewhow my SMTP server on the other end is refusing to accept these files after one refusal--sort of recognizing them as not acceptable or spam or something, and I am going to try some tests to see if I can determine if this is the case. Again there is nothing special about these emails. I have created a small program to resend the mail by copying and pasting the to, from, subject,. message, etc. information into a form to resend the mail, and they go out without any issues. The underliverable emails occur only sporatically and are usually related to my SMTP server going offline every now and then.
BTW I still can't believe I am the only person who has come up against these "permanently undeliverable" mail files.
5. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellnicxen Sep 1, 2012 8:46 AM (in response to RobbienSly)
You are not the only one having this issue. We have the same issue on CF 10 and Solaris 11. I have be troubleshooting this now for two days. I am trying to track down the change made to the file. However, we have a script written in the dos batch environment that has worked for 7+ years and now we cannot use it any more. I will post the finding if I find a cure. BTW Adobe does not support Solaris 11 yet.
6. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellcvcocuzza Nov 21, 2012 2:26 PM (in response to nicxen)
We have been having the same problem through all versions of Coldfusion, and I think I finally found the answer.
Although the files look the same, I suspect CF does something in the background when looking at the charset of the mail. All of our undeliverable mail had no charset definition. The first line of the CFMAIL file looked like this:
type: text/plain
If the mail went thru when it was originally sent, everything was fine. But if the mail was determined undeliverable (for whatever reason) and wound up in the undelivr folder, no matter how many times we tried to respool it (even after the brute force effort of stopping and starting CF Server) it would not go. I found another thread that had a similar problem and solved it by adding the default charset definition of the server to the "type" definition line. So I edited the mail file and changed this line to look like this:
type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
And magically, all the mail I added the charset definition to went thru. Maybe it's a bug that the CF people can fix and patch for us.
Happy Thanksgiving!
7. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellRobbienSly Nov 28, 2012 6:06 AM (in response to cvcocuzza)
Last night CF hiccuuped and I had four undeliverable messages in my undelivr folder this morning. Unfortunately, when I examined them, they all started with: type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8, so there was nothing to edit. Nevertheless I tried changing to ISO-8859-1 and removing the character set declaration altogether. No luck. I removed the archive attribute and tried respooling, but no luck. I even tried changing permissions on the files and spool directory as well, but still no luck. (I vaguely remember trying this before)
I am glad that the missing character set declaration worked for you, but for me I still haven't found the key to solving the problem.
One last thing: This morning I sent a test email and intercepted it in my ascii editor before it went out successfully. I compared it to my undeliverables, and I can discern no differences in the header information. I even tried saving the intercepted email to the undelivr directory and then moving it back to the spool. Guess what? It would not go the 2nd time! It is as if the fact of being in the undelivr folder caused the file not to be "sendable" by the spooler. If the origination is from CF it goes. If the origination is my ascii text editor, it does not go. I can't image why that would be, unless CF adds some hidden information to .cmail files that is lost when the file is moved to the undelivr folder.
Whatever, I still have to deal with the occasional undeliverable mail and manually resend it. I even created a form to "re-mail" the undeliverable ones, and so far the "re-mailed" emails--although exactly the same as the originals--have gone out successfully the 2nd time. Go figure....
8. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellzadi1 Jan 24, 2013 8:47 AM (in response to RobbienSly)
We have this same issue whenever our mail server goes offline except we have CF10.
Here's a quick sequence of events of error and resolution I performed this morning:
Mail server goes offline for a brief period of time.
Messages in Spool folder gets stuck and are sent to undeliverable folder
Mail server goes back online
We manually move the emails from undeliverable to spool
Depending on the volume of emails, some email which have always worked for years, ends right back to the undeliverable folder
In the case I ran into today, out of 3 undeliverables, 1 did not want to go through for some reason, I suspected it maybe because of the attachment, but this was not it.
I checked the CF mail error log and found this:
""Error","scheduler-0","01/24/13","09:26:20",,"javax.mail.MessagingException: missing body for message"
javax.mail.MessagingException: missing body for message
at coldfusion.mail.MailImpl.createMessage(MailImpl.java:696)
at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.deliver(MailSpooler.java:1295)
at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.sendMail(MailSpooler.java:1197)
at coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler.deliverFast(MailSpooler.java:1657)

at coldfusion.scheduling.ThreadPool.run(ThreadPool.java:211)
at coldfusion.scheduling.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:71)"
It made no sense why CF was requiring the body of the email as it normally goes through without issue any other time.
So, I manually edited the mail in the undelieverable folder and basically copied the subject into the body as well by typing it in the following on a new line at the very end "body: Random Blabber," then moved it back to the mail folder and it went through...
9. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellcoylo Apr 3, 2015 8:27 AM (in response to zadi1)
we are having problems connecting to our hosting provider's mail relay.
emails will never go first time and we have it setup that every 5 mins undelivered emails are moved back into the spool folder. eventually the emails will successfully go after several attempts.
however in the .cfmail file if i manually remove the port no. which is 25 and save the file and manually move it to the spool folder, the email will leave our system immediately.
unfortunately in the coldfusion administrator a port no. must be specified, but is there any way to get around this?
10. Re: cfmail undeliverable helllesjirvin Nov 4, 2015 9:41 AM (in response to RobbienSly)
This may or may not be related, but I work with a client that sends out 2500 emails at a time, often a couple of times an hour. The majority of them immediately end up in the Undelivr folder and it's taken me days to figure out why. After lots of experimenting, I've discovered that CF (or at least this particular configuration) will only send out 600 emails per hour. Obviously... hopefully... this is a setting that can be changed? Does anyone know how to tweak this? I can't imagine CF having a 600/per hour limit. This is a private server running CF11 Standard, Windows 2012 server, and Smartermail 14.
In the meantime, I've tweaked and implemented this script to automatically move undelivered mail back into the spool every 30 minutes: https://www.hass.de/content/coldfusion-10-move-coldfusion-undelivery-mail-back-spool Works great, but it sure would be nice to get around the 600 per hour limit. Anyone have any ideas?
I should clarify that CF only sends 300 emails at a time, but will do it twice in a 60 minute period...
11. Re: cfmail undeliverable hellhaxtbh Nov 5, 2015 12:47 AM (in response to lesjirvin)
This wont be CF with the restriction. We have sent our 10s of 1000s of emails a time with no issues at all, been doing this since CF 9. It will most likely be an issue with the mail server configuration you are sending them too. We find turning off spooling speeds up processes like this but makes it harder to track undeliverables. CF will only move it to the undeliverable folder if it gets a negative response from the mail server. You will be able to see additional information in the mail.log for coldfusion and the smtp servers logs.

At birth, I didn't start breathing in time. I was dioxide because of a doctor's error. So since birth, I have had spastic cerebral palsy, and this condition has limited my mobility to my wheelchair. As a child, I didn't understand this. My wheelchair might as well have been my "pity pot." I felt sorry for myself and wanted others to do the same. Like a cancer, my attitude affected the whole family. Beyond this, it also affected professionals and others who wanted to help me.
While growing up, I was angry at God and took that anger out on those around me. I blamed God for my disability. This anger was a stumbling block that affected many relationships, including with my oldest brother Walt who died at 42 in 1993. One of my biggest supporters and closest friends, my brother died of a heart attack while on assignment for the Tennessee Water Authority.
Although we prayed the Rosary as a family daily and went to Mass every Sunday throughout my childhood, I was little more than an "obligated Catholic" during those years. Throughout much of my youth I was angry at God and feared God. This was not always with words, but often shown through my actions.
Up to the age of 9 or 10, I felt welcomed in church. Mass was celebrated in our parish's school gym. When our parish church was completed, however, the steps to its entrance told me, without words, that I wasn't welcome. For years, our pastor told my parents I didn't have to come to Mass. The steps were like a megaphone for me.
My parents brought me anyway, but it took years for the anger to ebb.
Finding a new home parish, attending daily Mass and frequently participating in the sacraments of reconciliation and Eucharist have helped change my perspective.
Since the transformation began during my college years, I have not been the same. I pray for acceptance of my limitations, as well as my willingness to accept the hours I spend in my wheelchair and my hospital bed.
I pray for the acceptance of the fact I need others to help me with my basic needs of daily living.
I have come to understand human suffering in light of the Catholic teaching on redemptive suffering. A part of that teaching is to offer up suffering for the holy souls in purgatory. None of us is perfect, and we all will be in need of some purification at the end of our earthly lives. I pray regularly for my sins, the sins of the whole world as well as the souls in purgatory.
I have come to understand that we need to pray for the dead, and that offering our sufferings and trials for the holy souls is an act of mercy. This teaching is a great source of hope.
I have come to understand it is also a source of great consolation, as this gives Catholics a reason to bear redemptive suffering. It gives purpose to our suffering, sacrifices and joy.
I recall those faith-filled years that Walt rode his bike to 6:30 or 8:00 a.m. Mass to serve as an altar boy. His dedication witnessed to me. It pushed me to continue to believe despite my anger toward God.
I didn't know that then. But I know it now.

About Robert Traill
Robert Traill was born in 1642. He became a clergyman and spent most of his career in hiding from the authorities. He was pronounced a rebel for his friendships with Puritan figures such as James Guthrie, as well as writing controversial theological material. After being condemned to burn at the stake, he escaped and went into hiding. Traill was caught once and sent to prison for three months. He was able to return to London and pastored there until his death in 1716.
