We characterize Siklos space-times which satisfy the quasi-Einstein equation, both in the gradient and the non-gradient cases. Then, we prove that several homogeneous Siklos space-times are quasi-Einstein, and finally we provide a classification of locally conformally flat quasi-Einstein Siklos space-times.

In this article, we show that if M is a globally hyperbolic spacetime with a non-compact Cauchy hypersurface Σ, then the future (past) admissible system endowed with the Vietoris topology is simply connected. The natural map between the causal future (past) of Σ, and the future (past) admissible system is continuous and bijective. But through a counter example, we show that the maps need not be homeomorphisms.

The cut-and-paste method is a procedure for constructing null thin shells by matching two regions of the same spacetime across a null hypersurface. Originally proposed by Penrose, it has so far allowed to describe purely gravitational and null-dust shells in constant-curvature backgrounds. In this paper, we extend the cut-and-paste method to null shells with arbitrary gravitational/matter content. To that aim, we first derive a locally Lipschitz continuous form of the metric of the spacetime resulting from the most general matching of two constant-curvature spacetimes with totally geodesic null boundaries, and then obtain the coordinate transformation that turns this metric into the cut-and-paste form with a Dirac-delta term. The paper includes an example of a null shell with non-trivial energy density, energy flux and pressure in Minkowski space.

The Grothendieck classes of melonic graphs satisfy a recursive relation and may be written as polynomials in the class of the moduli space with nonnegative integer coefficients, conjectured to be log-concave. In this article, we investigate log-concavity and ultra-log-concavity for the Grothendieck class of banana graphs and the three families of polynomials involved in the recursive relation. We prove that all four are log-concave, establishing the specific case of banana graphs for the log-concavity conjecture. We additionally introduce the infinite family of clasped necklaces, melonic graphs obtained by replacing an edge of a 2-banana with a string of m-bananas. Using the recursive relation, we explicitly compute the classes of clasped necklaces and prove that they too are log-concave.

In this paper, first we show that a central Leibniz 2-algebra naturally gives rise to a solution of the Zamolodchikov Tetrahedron equation. Then we introduce the notion of linear 2-racks and show that a linear 2-rack also gives rise to a solution of the Zamolodchikov Tetrahedron equation. We show that a central Leibniz 2-algebra gives rise to a linear 2-rack if the underlying 2-vector space is splittable. Finally we discuss the relation between linear 2-racks and 2-racks, and show that a linear 2-rack gives rise to a 2-rack structure on the group-like category. A concrete example of strict 2-racks is constructed from an action of a strict 2-group.

In this paper we discuss the relation between the functions that give first integrals of full symmetric Toda system (an important Hamilton system on the space of traceless real symmetric matrices) and the vector fields on the group of orthogonal matrices: it is known that this system is equivalent to an ordinary differential equation on the orthogonal group, and we extend this observation further to its first integrals. As a by-product we describe a representation of the Lie algebra of -invariant functions on the dual space of Lie algebra (under the canonical Poisson structure) by vector fields on .

Two classes of well-known algebraic triangulated categories on finite dimensional Lie superalgebra over a complex field are studied. One is the stable category of -graded Gorenstein projective -modules, and the other is the derived category of -graded -modules, where model structure and separable monad are taken as crucial tools. Model structure and Gorensteinness are also provided with the good module categories, introduced by Coulembier [7] because of Frobenius extension. At last, a specific example of good module category is applied.

We introduce the notion of relative averaging operators on Hom-associative algebras with a representation. Relative averaging operators are twisted generalizations of relative averaging operators on associative algebras. We give two characterizations of relative averaging operators of Hom-associative algebras via graphs and Nijenhuis operators. A (homomorphic) relative averaging operator of Hom-associative algebras with respect to a given representation gives rise to Hom-associative (tri)dialgebras. By admissibility, a Hom-Jordan (tri)dialgebra and a Hom-(tri)Leibniz algebra can be obtained from Hom-associative (tri)dialgebra.
