From 2020, the old website will be gradually phased out and past issues will be uploaded to this website.</p> <p>The New Zealand Journal of Mathematics seeks to publish high quality research papers in diverse areas of pure and applied mathematics. Well-written survey articles are also warmly invited.</p> <p>Papers should be of general interest and of moderate length. The journal is more likely to publish papers on topics that overlap with the interests of the Editorial Board or that are of interest to at least one mathematician in New Zealand.</p> <p>The online ISSN is 1179-4984.</p>https://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/217Nearly self-conjugate integer partitions2023-01-15T04:01:55+13:00John Campbelljmaxwellcampbell@gmail.comShane Chernchenxiaohang92@gmail.com<p>We investigate integer partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ that are nearly self-conjugate in the sense that there are $n - 1$ overlapping cells among the Ferrers diagram of $\lambda$ and its transpose, by establishing a correspondence, through the method of combinatorial telescoping, to partitions of $n$ in which (i).~there exists at least one even part; (ii).~any even part is of size $2$; (iii).~the odd parts are distinct; and (iv).~no odd part is of size $1$. In particular, this correspondence confirms a conjecture that had been given in the OEIS.</p>2023-06-25T00:00:00+12:00Copyright (c) 2023 The authorhttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/218Amendment to "Lindelöf with respect to an ideal" [New Zealand J.

Math. 42, 115-120, 2012]. We also modify it here in a new way and henceforth put forward correctly all the results that were based on the said statement derived therein.</p>2023-06-25T00:00:00+12:00Copyright (c) 2023 The authorhttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/277The 2-fold pure extensions need not split2022-09-20T16:49:26+12:00Aliakbar Alijanialijanialiakbar@gmail.com<p>In this paper, we give an example of locally compact abelian groups $A$ and $C$ such that ${\rm Pext}^{2}(C,A)\neq 0$.</p>2023-06-25T00:00:00+12:00Copyright (c) 2023 The authorhttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/139The conjugate locus in convex 3-manifolds2022-08-24T08:35:51+12:00Thomas Watersthomas.waters@port.ac.ukMatthew Cherriematthew.cherrie@port.ac.uk<p>In this paper we study the conjugate locus in convex manifolds. Our main tool is Jacobi fields, which we use to define a special coordinate system on the unit sphere of the tangent space; this provides a natural coordinate system to study and classify the singularities of the conjugate locus. We pay particular attention to 3-dimensional manifolds, and describe a novel method for determining conjugate points. We then make a study of a special case: the 3-dimensional (quadraxial) ellipsoid. We emphasise the similarities with the focal sets of 2-dimensional ellipsoids.</p>2023-07-01T00:00:00+12:00Copyright (c) 2023 New Zealand Journal of Mathematicshttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/361Corrigendum to: Two new proofs of the fact that triangle groups are distinguished by their finite quotients2023-06-09T06:59:10+12:00Marston Conderm.conder@auckland.ac.nz<p>This brief corrigendum corrects some minor errors in the paper `"Two new proofs of the fact that triangle groups are distinguished by their finite quotients", published in the <em>New Zealand Journal of Mathematics</em> <strong>52</strong> (2022), 827--844.</p>2023-10-03T00:00:00+13:00Copyright (c) 2023 Authorhttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/311Group Actions on Product Systems2023-01-04T17:38:59+13:00Valentin Deaconuvdeaconu@unr.eduLeonard HuangLeonardHuang@unr.edu<p>We introduce the concept of a crossed product of a product system by a locally compact group. We prove that the crossed product of a row-finite and faithful product system by an amenable group is also a row-finite and faithful product system. We generalize a theorem of Hao and Ng about the crossed product of the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a $C^{\ast}$-correspondence by a group action to the context of product systems. We present examples related to group actions on $k$-graphs and to higher rank Doplicher-Roberts algebras.</p>2023-10-19T00:00:00+13:00Copyright (c) 2023 Authorhttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/286Yamabe solitons in contact geometry2023-01-09T21:20:05+13:00Rahul Poddarrahulpoddar@sssihl.edu.inS. Balasubramaniansbalasubramanian@sssihl.edu.inRamesh Sharmarsharma@newhaven.edu<p>It is shown that the scalar curvature of a Yamabe soliton as a Sasakian manifold is constant and the soliton vector field is Killing. The same conclusion is shown to hold for a Yamabe soliton as a $K$-contact manifold $M^{2n+1}$ if any one of the following conditions hold: (i) its scalar curvature is constant along the soliton vector field $V$, (ii) $V$ is an eigenvector of the Ricci operator with eigenvalue $2n$, (iii) $V$ is gradient.</p>2023-12-20T00:00:00+13:00Copyright (c) 2023 Authorhttps://www.nzjmath.org/index.php/NZJMATH/article/view/315A note on the regularity criterion for the micropolar fluid equations in homogeneous Besov spaces 2023-01-06T08:27:52+13:00Qiang Liliqiang5412@163.comMianlu Zouzoumianlu@163.com<p>This paper gives a further investigation on the regularity criteria for three-dimensional micropolar equations in Besov spaces.
