This paper is devoted to the development of methods of investigating the stability and global minimality of specific surfaces in Euclidean space and more generally in the Riemannian manifold. The author has obtained an effective sufficient condition for the stability of symmetric cones of any codimension in Euclidean space. By means of this sufficient condition he has proved the stability of several new series of cones of codimension two and higher. The author has constructed a new class of globally minimal surfaces in locally trivial vector bundles. The proof of the basic theorems is carried out by means of the construction of suitable calibration forms.

The behavior of the Green function G(x, y, t) of the Cauchy problem for the heat equation on a connected, noncompact, complete Riemannian manifold is investigated. For manifolds with boundary it is assumed that the Green function satisfies a Neumann condition on the boundary.

The ring of invariant polynomial functions on the general algebra of Cartan type is described explicitly. It is assumed that the ground field is algebraically closed and its characteristic is greater than 2. This result is used to prove that the variety of nilpotent elements in is an irreducible complete intersection and contains an open orbit whose complement consists of singular points. Moreover, a criterion for orbits in to be closed is obtained, and it is proved that the action of the commutator subgroup of the automorphism group in is stable.

Properties of sheaves of graded Lie algebras associated with a flat mapping of complex spaces are established. In particular, for a minimal versal deformation the tangent algebra of a fiber defines a linearization of the algebra of liftable fields on the base, which in turn enables one to find the discriminant of the deformation and its modular subspace. A criterion is obtained for the nilpotency of the tangent algebra of the germ of a hypersurface with a unique singular point. It is proved that in the algebra of liftable fields on the base of a minimal versal deformation of such a germ there always exists a basis with symmetric coefficient matrix.

Weakly nonlinear semi-Hamiltonian systems of n differential equations of hydrodynamic type in Riemann invariants are considered, and the geometry of the (n + 2)-web formed by the characteristics and the level lines of the independent variables are studied. It is shown that the rank of this web on the general solution of the system is equal to n. This result is used to obtain formulas for the general integral of the systems under consideration, with the necessary arbitrariness in n functions of a single argument. Separate consideration is given to the cases n = 3 and n = 4, for which it is possible not only to integrate the corresponding systems, but also to give a complete classification of them to within so-called transformations via a solution (reciprocal transformations). It turns out that for n = 3 they can all be linearized (and are thus equivalent), while for n = 4 there exist exactly five mutually nonequivalent systems, and any other system can be reduced to one of them by a transformation via a solution. There is a discussion of the connection between weakly nonlinear semi-Hamiltonian systems and Dupin cyclides-hypersurfaces of Euclidean space whose principal curvatures are constant along the corresponding principal directions. Some unsolved problems are formulated at the end of the paper.

The first mixed problem with a homogeneous boundary condition is considered for a linear parabolic equation of second order. It is assumed that the unbounded domain satisfies the following condition: there exists a positive constant such that for any point of the boundary For a certain class of initial functions , which includes all bounded functions, the following condition is a necessary and sufficient condition for uniform stabilization of the solution to zero: The proof of the stabilization condition is based on an estimate of the Green function that takes account of its decay near the boundary.

It is proved that if a Lie ring L admits an automorphism of prime order p with a finite number m of fixed points and with pL = L, then L has a nilpotent subring of index bounded in terms of p and m and whose nilpotency class is bounded in terms of p. It is also shown that if a nilpotent periodic group admits an automorphism of prime order p which has a finite number m of fixed points, then it has a nilpotent subgroup of finite index bounded in terms of m and p and whose class is bounded in terms of p (this gives a positive answer to Hartley's Question 8.81b in the Kourovka Notebook). From this and results of Fong, Hartley, and Meixner, modulo the classification of finite simple groups the following corollary is obtained: a locally finite group in which there is a finite centralizer of an element of prime order is almost nilpotent (with the same bounds on the index and nilpotency class of the subgroup). The proof makes use of the Higman-Kreknin-Kostrikin theorem on the boundedness of the nilpotency class of a Lie ring which admits an automorphism of prime order with a single (trivial) fixed point.
