We prove that there is a new type of entire solution originated from three moving planar traveling fronts, and evolved to a V-shaped traveling front as time changes, which means that the profile of this solution is not invariant at all. Here an entire solution is referred to a solution that is defined for all time [Formula: see text] and in the whole space [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we show that not only the entire solution but also all transition fronts share the same global mean speed by constructing suitable radially symmetric expanding and retracting super- and subsolutions.","PeriodicalId":50660,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Contemporary Mathematics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44156635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We particularly focus on the category of line operators in each theory. Using the work of Costello-Gaiotto, we define these categories as appropriate categories of modules for the boundary vertex operator algebras present in each theory. For the A-twist of a free hyper, this will be a certain category of modules for the βγ VOA, properly containing the category previously studied by Allen-Wood. Applying the work of Creutzig-Kanade-McRae and Creutzig-McRae-Yang, we show that the category of line operators on the A side possesses the structure of a braided tensor category, extending the result of Allen-Wood. In addition, we prove that there is a braided tensor equivalence between the categories of line operators on the A side and B side, completing a non-trivial check of the 3d mirror symmetry conjecture. We derive explicit fusion rules as a consequence of this equivalence and obtain interesting relations with associated quantum group representations.","PeriodicalId":50660,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Contemporary Mathematics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44391592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate the curvature operator of the second kind on Riemannian manifolds and prove several classification results.

The second one states that a closed Riemannian manifold with three-nonnegative curvature operator of the second kind is either diffeomorphic to a spherical space form, or flat, or isometric to a quotient of a compact irreducible symmetric space.
