On the set visited once by a random walk

Summary In this paper we prove the following statement. Given a random walk ,n=1, 2, ... where ₁, ₂ ... are i.i.d. random variables, let (n) denote the number of points visited exactly once by this random walk up to timen. We show that there exists some constantC, 0 <C < , such that with probability 1. The proof applies some arguments analogous to the techniques of the large deviation theory.Research supported by the Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research, Grant N^o # 819/1     

Almost Fredholm operators in von Neumann algebras

LetA be a von Neumann algebra,J be the ideal of compact operators relative toA and letF ₊ be the left-Fredholm class ofA. We call almost left-Fredholm the class = {A A: if P A is a projection and AP J then P J}. Then and the inclusion is proper unlessA is semifinite and has a non-large center. satisfies all of the algebraic properties ofF ₊ but it is generally not open. IfA is semifinite then A iff there are central projectionsG with G = I such that AG F₊(AG). Let :A A/J. Then the left almost essential spectrum ofA A, , coincides with the set of eigenvalues of (A)     

On Rounding Error Sums Related to the Circle Problem

For a large real parameter t and 0 a b we consider sums where is the rounding error function, i.e. (z) = z - [z] - 1/2. We generalize Huxley's well known estimate by showing that holds uniformly in 0 a b . Fruther, we investigate an analogous question related to the divisor problem and show that the inequality , which (due to Huxley) holds uniformly in 0 a b , and which is in general not true for 1 a b t, is true uniformly in 0 a b .     

Projection in a Space of Solenoidal Vector Fields

Let R ³ be a bounded domain, 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , a family of extending subdomains, and =(x) a positive function in be a space of -solenoidal vector fields, 0$$ " align="middle" border="0"> , a family of subspaces, G orthogonal projectors in onto . A unitary transformation that diagonalizes the family of projectors {G} is constructed: it takes to the operator of multiplication by the independent variable. The isometry of this transformation is proved with the help of the operator Riccati equation for the NeumanntoDirichlet mapping. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Conformally Invariant Regularization and Skeleton Expansions in Gauge Theory

We consider a conformally invariant regularization of an Abelian gauge theory in an Euclidean space of even dimension D 4 and regularized skeleton expansions for vertices and higher Green's functions. We set the respective regularized fields and with the scaling dimensions and into correspondence to the gauge field A and Euclidean current j . We postulate special rules for the limiting transition 0. These rules are different for the transversal and longitudinal components of the field and the current . We show that in the limit 0, there appear conformally invariant fields A and j each of which is transformed by a direct sum of two irreducible representations of the conformal group. Removing the regularization, we obtain a well-defined skeleton theory constructed from conformal two- and three-point correlation functions. We consider skeleton equations on the transversal component of the vertex operator and of the spinor propagator in conformal quantum electrodynamics. For simplicity, we restrict the consideration to an Abelian gauge field A , but generalization to a non-Abelian theory is straightforward.

Under some conditions an asymptotic evaluation of is possible, up to a factor (1+o(1)). This also leads to a limit theorem for the appropriately normalized sums under the law transformed by the density exp .     

The Dvoretzky-Hanani Theorem for the Group "ax + b"

Let G be the group "ax + b" of affine transformations of the line and let U be a neighbourhood of 1 in G. It is proved that there is another neighborhood V of 1 such that to each finite sequence g1,...,gn V there corresponds a sequence of signs 1,...,n = ±1 with U for k = 1,...,n. This implies that G satisfies the following analogue of the Dvoretzky-Hanani theorem: to each sequence converging to 1 in G there corresponds a sequence of signs k = ±1 such that the infinite product is convergent.

On regularities of the distribution of special sequences

Ifp2 is an integer, then every nonnegative integerk is represented by an expression of the form with integersa _i (k), 0a _i (k)p–1,i=0.1,...,s. The radical-inverse function to the basep, _p (k), is defined by . The sequence is uniformly distributed modulo 1 (it may be called a one-dimensional Halton sequence). In the casep=2 it is the van der Corput sequence. The set of all numbers (0, 1] such that the local discrepancy is bounded inn is determined.     

Invariance principles for random walks on hypergroups on ℝ2 and ℕ

Let (X _n:n) be i.i.d. with finite variance and values in a hypergroupK:=₊ or and _j=1 ⁿ X _j be the randomized sum of these random variables. It is shown that the processes converge in distribution to a Gaussian process in the caseK=₊, that the processes converge towards a Bessel process on ₊ in the case of polynomial growth of the hypergroupK=₊ or , and that in the case of exponential growth converges towards a Brownian motion asn.     

Regular Unitarily Invariant Spaces on the Complex Sphere

Let K be a compact space, let X be a closed subspace of C(K), and let be a positive measure on K. The triple is said to be regular if, for any positive function and for any , there exists a function such that on K and . The case where K is the unit sphere in and the subspace X is invariant with respect to the unitary group is investigated. Sufficient spectral conditions and a necessary condition for the regularity of a triple are obtained. Connections with compactness of certain Hankel operators and applications to interpolation problems are presented. Bibliography: 16 titles.

Riemann's Fragment on Limit Values of Elliptic Modular Functions

We give an interpretation different from that of Dedekind to work n° 28 of the complete works of Riemann Fragmente über die Grenzfälle der Elliptischen Modulfunctionen.We prove a theorem of inversion of radial limit and sum in a series of functions. This allows us to justify all of Riemann's reasoning in the fragment to obtain the limit values of modular elliptic functions. In particular we prove the statement of Riemann that for every rational number x we have where denotes the periodic function with period 1, such that (x) = x when |x| < 1/2, and (n + ) = 0 for every n Z.This assertion of Riemann was criticized by Dedekind. We also give the transformation formulae of the logarithms of the classical theta-function ₃(0), giving an alternative form to that obtained by B. C. Berndt [1].

On the exactness of a theorem of Mazur and Orlicz

For a preassigned unbounded sequence {S_n} of complex numbers, and preassigned complex numbers z₁ and z₂z₁ we construct: 1) regular matrices A=a_nk and B=b_nk such that the same bounded sequences are summable by these matrices and that , and ; 2) regular matrices A⁽¹⁾)=a _nk ⁽¹⁾ and B⁽¹⁾=b _nk ⁽¹⁾ such that B⁽¹⁾ A⁽¹⁾, and, . Our results show that the well known theorem of MazurOrlicz on the bounded consistency of two regular matrices, one of which is boundedly stronger than the other, is exact.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 11, No. 4, pp. 431–436, April, 1972.
