We treat equivariant completions of toric contraction morphisms as an application of the toric Mori theory. For this purpose, we generalize the toric Mori theory for non-$\boldsymbol Q$-factorial toric varieties. So, our theory seems to be quite different from Reid's original combinatorial toric Mori theory. We also explain various examples of non-$\boldsymbol Q$-factorial contractions, which imply that the $\boldsymbol Q$-factoriality plays an important role in the Minimal Model Program. Thus, this paper completes the foundation of the toric Mori theory and shows us a new aspect of the Minimal Model Program.

Recently, Lauritzen, Raben-Pedersen and Thomsen proved that Schubert varieties are globally $F$-regular. We give another proof simpler than the original one.

The range of random walks means the number of distinct sites visited at least once by the random walk. In two-or-more-dimensional cases, we established the law of large numbers for the range of simple symmetric random walks under the conditional probability given the event that the last point is the origin. Moreover we studied the large deviations in the upward direction and obtained similar results to the original random walk.

We prove a non-existence theorem for proper harmonic morphisms from weakly asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds to hyperbolic manifolds which are $C^2$ up to the boundary at infinity.

We consider a special wavelet transform of Moritoh and give new definitions of wave front sets of tempered distributions via that wavelet transform. The major result is that these wave front sets are equal to the wave front sets in the sense of Hörmander in the cases $n=1, 2, 4, 8$. If $n\in \boldsymbol{N} \setminus \{1, 2, 4, 8\}$, then we combine results for dimensions $n=1, 2, 4, 8$ and characterize wave front sets in $\xi$-directions, where $\xi$ are presented as products of non-zero points of $\boldsymbol{R}^{n_1}, \dotsc, \boldsymbol{R}^{n_s}$, $n_1+ \dotsb +n_s=n, n_i \in \{1, 2, 4, 8\}$, $i=1, \dotsc, s$. In particular, the case $n=3$ is discussed through the fourth-dimensional wavelet transform.

In this paper, we define the notion of the complex Coxeter group associated with a proper complex equifocal submanifold in a symmetric space of non-compact type. We prove that a proper complex equifocal submanifold is decomposed into a non-trivial (extrinsic) product of two such submanifolds if and only if its associated complex Coxeter group is decomposable. Its proof is performed by showing a splitting theorem for an infinite-dimensional proper anti-Kaehlerian isoparametric submanifold.

Some characters of semi-stable stochastic processes on local fields such as epochs, spans, and indices are given, and differences in nature from the corresponding objects for Euclidean spaces are clarified. Criteria for the recurrence and for the polarity of one point sets are given, and it is shown that semi-stable processes are characterized as limits of suitably scaled sums of independent identically distributed random variables.

We provide a characterization of the compressed lattice polytopes in terms of their facet defining inequalities and prove that every compressed lattice polytope is affinely isomorphic to a 0/1-polytope. As an application, we characterize those graphs whose cut polytopes are compressed and discuss consequences for studying linear programming relaxations in statistical disclosure limitation.

We present a self-contained combinatorial approach to Fujita's conjectures in the toric case. Our main new result is a generalization of Fujita's very ampleness conjecture for toric varieties with arbitrary singularities. In an appendix, we use similar methods to give a new proof of an analogous toric generalization of Fujita's freeness conjecture due to Fujino.
