On the value distribution of positive definite quadratic forms

Denote by 0 = λ ₀ < λ ₁ ≤ λ ₂ ≤ . . . the infinite sequence given by the values of a positive definite irrational quadratic form in k variables at integer points. For l ≥ 2 and an (l ?1)-dimensional interval I = I ₂×. . .×I _l we consider the l-level correlation function \({K^{(l)}_I(R)}\) which counts the number of tuples (i ₁, . . . , i _l ) such that \({\lambda_{i_1},\ldots,\lambda_{i_l}\leq R^2}\) and \({\lambda_{i_{j}}-\lambda_{i_{1}}\in I_j}\) for 2 ≤ j ≤ l. We study the asymptotic behavior of \({K^{(l)}_I(R)}\) as R tends to infinity. If k ≥ 4 we prove \({K^{(l)}_I(R)\sim c_l(Q)\,{\rm vol}(I)R^{lk-2(l-1)}}\) for arbitrary l, where c _l (Q) is an explicitly determined constant. This remains true for k = 3 under the restriction l ≤ 3.     

Prime radicals of constants of algebraic derivations

Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid F and let δ be an F-algebraic continuous derivation of R with the associated inner derivation ad(b). Factorize the minimal polynomial μ(λ) of b over F into distinct irreducible factors m(l)=?_ip_i(l)^n_i{\mu(\lambda)=\prod_i\pi_i(\lambda)^{n_i}} . Set ℓ to be the maximum of n _i . Let R^(d)=^def.{x ? R | d(x)=0}{R^{(\delta)}{\mathop{=}\limits^{{\rm def.}}}\{x\in R\mid \delta(x)=0\}} be the subring of constants of δ on R. Denote the prime radical of a ring A by P(A){{\mathcal{P}}(A)} . It is shown among other things that

A Remark on the Growth of the Denominators of Convergents

For log\frac1+?52 ￡ l_* ￡ l^* < ￥{\rm log}\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\leq \lambda_\ast \leq \lambda^\ast < \infty , let E(λ_*, λ^*) be the set {x ? [0,1): liminf_{n ? ￥}\fraclogq_n(x)n=l_*, limsup_{n ? ￥}\fraclogq_n(x)n=l^*}. \left\{x\in [0,1):\ \mathop{\lim\inf}_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\log q_n(x)}{n}=\lambda_{\ast}, \mathop{\lim\sup}_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\log q_n(x)}{n}=\lambda^{\ast}\right\}. It has been proved in [1] and [3] that E(λ_*, λ^*) is an uncountable set. In the present paper, we strengthen this result by showing that dimE(l_*, l^*) 3 \fracl_* -log\frac1+?522l^*\dim E(\lambda_{\ast}, \lambda^{\ast}) \ge \frac{\lambda_{\ast} -\log \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}}{2\lambda^{\ast}}     

Optimal Embeddings of Spaces of Generalized Smoothness in the Critical Case

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for embeddings of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of generalized smoothness B^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)B^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and F^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)F^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), respectively, into generalized H?lder spaces L_￥,r^m(·)( \mathbb Rⁿ)\Lambda_{\infty,r}^{\mu(\cdot)}(\ensuremath {\ensuremath {\mathbb {R}}^{n}}). In particular, we are able to characterize optimal embeddings for this class of spaces provided q>1. These results improve the embedding assertions given by the continuity envelopes of B^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)B^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and F^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)F^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), which were obtained recently solving an open problem of D.D. Haroske in the classical setting.     

GKB-FP: an algorithm for large-scale discrete ill-posed problems

We describe an algorithm for large-scale discrete ill-posed problems, called GKB-FP, which combines the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization algorithm with Tikhonov regularization in the generated Krylov subspace, with the regularization parameter for the projected problem being chosen by the fixed-point method by Bazán (Inverse Probl. 24(3), 2008). The fixed-point method selects as regularization parameter a fixed-point of the function ‖r _λ ‖₂/‖f _λ ‖₂, where f _λ is the regularized solution and r _λ is the corresponding residual. GKB-FP determines the sought fixed-point by computing a finite sequence of fixed-points of functions ||r_l^(k)||₂/||f_l^(k)||₂\|r_{\lambda}^{(k)}\|_{2}/\|f_{\lambda}^{(k)}\|_{2}, where f_l^(k)f_{\lambda}^{(k)} approximates f _λ in a k-dimensional Krylov subspace and r_l^(k)r_{\lambda}^{(k)} is the corresponding residual. Based on this and provided the sought fixed-point is reached, we prove that the regularized solutions f_l^(k)f_{\lambda}^{(k)} remain unchanged and therefore completely insensitive to the number of iterations. This and the performance of the method when applied to well-known test problems are illustrated numerically.     

Spectral decomposition and Gelfand’s theorem

In this case, Theorem 3, we show by using Gelfand’s Theorem that there exists a family of projectors (P_k)_{k ? \mathbb\mathbbZ^*}(P_{k})_{k\in\mathbb{\mathbb{Z}}^{*}} such that, for any x∈D(A ^n+ℓ ), the decomposition ∑P _k x=x holds.     

Multiplicative isometries on the Smirnov class

We show that T is a surjective multiplicative (but not necessarily linear) isometry from the Smirnov class on the open unit disk, the ball, or the polydisk onto itself, if and only if there exists a holomorphic automorphism Φ such that T(f)=f ○ Φ for every class element f or T(f) = [`(f<sup>°</sup> [`(j)] )]\overline {f^\circ \bar \varphi } for every class element f, where the automorphism Φ is a unitary transformation in the case of the ball and Φ(z ₁, ..., z _n ) = (l₁ z_i1 ,...,l_n z_in )(\lambda _1 z_{i_1 } ,...,\lambda _n z_{i_n } ) for |λ _j | = 1, 1 ≤ j ≤ n, and (i ₁; ..., i _n )is some permutation of the integers from 1through n in the case of the n-dimensional polydisk.

Let $ \mathfrak{B}_n^{(f)} Let V be a 2m-dimensional symplectic vector space over an algebraically closed field K. Let \mathfrakB_n^(f) \mathfrak{B}_n^{(f)} be the two-sided ideal of the Brauer algebra \mathfrakB_n( - 2m ) {\mathfrak{B}_n}\left( { - 2m} \right) over K generated by e ₁ e _3⋯ e _2f-1 where 0 ≤ f ≤ [n/2]. Let HT_f ^?n \mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_f^{ \otimes n} be the subspace of partial-harmonic tensors of valence f in V ^⊗n . In this paper we prove that dimHT_f ^?n \mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_f^{ \otimes n} and dim \textEn\textd_K\textSp(V)( V ^?n \mathord

Commutators of BMO functions and degenerate Schr?dinger operators with certain nonnegative potentials

BMO_w{b\in BMO_\omega} and 0 < α ≤ 1.     

Comonotone approximation of twice differentiable periodic functions

In the case where a 2π-periodic function f is twice continuously differentiable on the real axis ℝ and changes its monotonicity at different fixed points y _i ∈ [− π, π), i = 1,…, 2s, s ∈ ℕ (i.e., on ℝ, there exists a set Y := {y _i } _i∈ℤ of points y _i = y _i+2s + 2π such that the function f does not decrease on [y _i , y _i−1] if i is odd and does not increase if i is even), for any natural k and n, n ≥ N(Y, k) = const, we construct a trigonometric polynomial T _n of order ≤n that changes its monotonicity at the same points y _i ∈ Y as f and is such that

Schlicht envelopes of holomorphy and topology

Let Ω be a domain in ${\mathbb{C}^{2}}Let Ω be a domain in \mathbbC²{\mathbb{C}^{2}}, and let p: [(W)\tilde]? \mathbbC²{\pi: \tilde{\Omega}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}^{2}} be its envelope of holomorphy. Also let W￠=p([(W)\tilde]){\Omega'=\pi(\tilde{\Omega})} with i: W\hookrightarrow W￠{i: \Omega \hookrightarrow \Omega'} the inclusion. We prove the following: if the induced map on fundamental groups i_*:p₁(W) ? p₁(W￠){i_{*}:\pi_{1}(\Omega) \rightarrow \pi_{1}(\Omega')} is a surjection, and if π is a covering map, then Ω has a schlicht envelope of holomorphy. We then relate this to earlier work of Fornaess and Zame.     

Smooth Universal Taylor Series

Let W í \Bbb C\Omega \subseteq {\Bbb C} be a simply connected domain in \Bbb C{\Bbb C} , such that {￥} è[ \Bbb C \[`(W)]]\{\infty\} \cup [ {\Bbb C} \setminus \bar{\Omega}] is connected. If g is holomorphic in Ω and every derivative of g extends continuously on [`(W)]\bar{\Omega} , then we write g ∈ A^∞ (Ω). For g ∈ A^∞ (Ω) and z ? [`(W)]\zeta \in \bar{\Omega} we denote S_N (g,z)(z) = ?^N_l=0\fracg^(l) (z)l ! (z-z)^lS_N (g,\zeta )(z)= \sum^{N}_{l=0}\frac{g^{(l)} (\zeta )}{l !} (z-\zeta )^l . We prove the existence of a function f ∈ A^∞(Ω), such that the following hold:

Matlis duals of local cohomology modules and their endomorphism rings

Let ${(R, \mathfrak{m})}Let (R, \mathfrakm){(R, \mathfrak{m})} denote a local ring. Let I ì R{I \subset R} be an ideal with c =  grade I. Let D(·) denote the Matlis duality functor. In recent research there is an interest in the structure of the local cohomology module H^c_I : = H^c_I(R){H^c_I := H^c_I(R)}, in particular in the endomorphism ring of D(H^c_I){D(H^c_I)}. Let E _R (k) be the injective hull of the residue field R/\mathfrakm{R/\mathfrak{m}}. By investigating the natural map H^c_I ?D(H^c_I) ? E_R(k){H^c_I \otimes D(H^c_I) \to E_R(k)} we are able to prove that the endomorphism rings of D(H^c_I){D(H^c_I)} and of H^c_I{H^c_I} are naturally isomorphic. This natural homomorphism is related to a quasi-isomorphism of a certain complex. As applications we show results when the endomorphism ring of D(H^c_I){D(H^c_I)} is naturally isomorphic to R generalizing results known under the additional assumption of Hⁱ_I(R) = 0{H^i_I(R) = 0} for i 1 c{i \not= c}.     

Limit Distributions of Eigenvalues for Random Block Toeplitz and Hankel Matrices

Block Toeplitz and Hankel matrices arise in many aspects of applications. In this paper, we will research the distributions of eigenvalues for some models and get the semicircle law. Firstly we will give trace formulas of block Toeplitz and Hankel matrix. Then we will prove that the almost sure limit g_T^(m)\gamma_{T}^{(m)} (g_H^(m))(\gamma_{H}^{(m)}) of eigenvalue distributions of random block Toeplitz (Hankel) matrices exist and give the moments of the limit distributions where m is the order of the blocks. Then we will prove the existence of almost sure limit of eigenvalue distributions of random block Toeplitz and Hankel band matrices and give the moments of the limit distributions. Finally we will prove that g_T^(m)\gamma_{T}^{(m)} (g_H^(m))(\gamma_{H}^{(m)}) converges weakly to the semicircle law as m→∞.     

Hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space satisfying Lkψ?=?Aψ?+?b

We study hypersurfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space \mathbbLⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{L}^{n+1}} whose position vector ψ satisfies the condition L _k ψ = Aψ + b, where L _k is the linearized operator of the (k + 1)th mean curvature of the hypersurface for a fixed k = 0, . . . , n − 1, A ? \mathbbR^(n+1)×(n+1){A\in\mathbb{R}^{(n+1)\times(n+1)}} is a constant matrix and b ? \mathbbLⁿ⁺¹{b\in\mathbb{L}^{n+1}} is a constant vector. For every k, we prove that the only hypersurfaces satisfying that condition are hypersurfaces with zero (k + 1)th mean curvature, open pieces of totally umbilical hypersurfaces \mathbbSⁿ₁(r){\mathbb{S}^n_1(r)} or \mathbbHⁿ(-r){\mathbb{H}^n(-r)}, and open pieces of generalized cylinders \mathbbS^m₁(r)×\mathbbR^n-m{\mathbb{S}^m_1(r)\times\mathbb{R}^{n-m}}, \mathbbH^m(-r)×\mathbbR^n-m{\mathbb{H}^m(-r)\times\mathbb{R}^{n-m}}, with k + 1 ≤ m ≤ n − 1, or \mathbbL^m×\mathbbS^n-m(r){\mathbb{L}^m\times\mathbb{S}^{n-m}(r)}, with k + 1 ≤ n − m ≤ n − 1. This completely extends to the Lorentz-Minkowski space a previous classification for hypersurfaces in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} given by Alías and Gürbüz (Geom. Dedicata 121:113–127, 2006).     

Inequalities for irregular Gabor frames

In [C.K. Chui and X.L. Shi, Inequalities of Littlewood-Paley type for frames and wavelets, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 24 (1993), 263–277], the authors proved that if {e^imbxg(x-na): m,n ? \Bbb Z}\{e^{imbx}g(x-na): m,n\in{\Bbb Z}\} is a Gabor frame for L²(\Bbb R)L^2({\Bbb R}) with frame bounds A and B, then the following two inequalities hold: A ￡ \frac2pb?_{n ? \Bbb Z}|g(x-na)|² ￡ B,     a.e.A\le \frac{2\pi}{b}\sum_{n\in{\Bbb Z}}\vert g(x-na)\vert^2\le B, \quad a.e. and A ￡ \frac1a?_{m ? \Bbb Z}|[^(g)](w-mb)|² ￡ B,     a.e.A\le \frac{1}{a}\sum_{m\in{\Bbb Z}}\vert \hat{g}(\omega-mb)\vert^2\le B, \quad a.e. . In this paper, we show that similar inequalities hold for multi-generated irregular Gabor frames of the form è_{1 ￡ k ￡ r}{e^{iáx, l?}g_k(x-m): m ? D_k, l ? L_k }\bigcup_{1\le k\le r}\{e^{i\langle x, \lambda\rangle}g_{k}(x-\mu):\, \mu\in \Delta_k, \lambda\in\Lambda_k \} , where Δ _k and Λ _k are arbitrary sequences of points in \Bbb R^d{\Bbb R}^d and g_k ? L²(\Bbb R^d)g_k\in{L^2{(\Bbb R}^d)} , 1 ≤ k ≤ r.     

Finiteness properties of minimax and coatomic local cohomology modules

Let R be a noetherian ring, \mathfraka{\mathfrak{a}} an ideal of R, and M an R-module. We prove that for a finite module M, if Hⁱ_\mathfraka(M){{\rm H}^{i}_{\mathfrak{a}}(M)} is minimax for all i ≥ r ≥ 1, then Hⁱ_\mathfraka(M){{\rm H}^{i}_{\mathfrak{a}}(M)} is artinian for i ≥ r. A local–global principle for minimax local cohomology modules is shown. If Hⁱ_\mathfraka(M){{\rm H}^{i}_{\mathfrak{a}}(M)} is coatomic for i ≤ r (M finite) then Hⁱ_\mathfraka(M){{\rm H}^{i}_{\mathfrak{a}}(M)} is finite for i ≤ r. We give conditions for a module which is locally minimax to be a minimax module. A non-vanishing theorem and some vanishing theorems are proved for local cohomology modules.     

The Ground State and the Long-Time Evolution in the CMC Einstein Flow

Let (g, K)(k) be a CMC (vacuum) Einstein flow over a compact three-manifold Σ with non-positive Yamabe invariant (Y(Σ)). As noted by Fischer and Moncrief, the reduced volume ${\mathcal{V}(k)=\left(\frac{-k}{3}\right)^{3}{\rm Vol}_{g(k)}(\Sigma)}Let (g, K)(k) be a CMC (vacuum) Einstein flow over a compact three-manifold Σ with non-positive Yamabe invariant (Y(Σ)). As noted by Fischer and Moncrief, the reduced volume V(k)=(\frac-k3)³Vol_g(k)(S){\mathcal{V}(k)=\left(\frac{-k}{3}\right)^{3}{\rm Vol}_{g(k)}(\Sigma)} is monotonically decreasing in the expanding direction and bounded below by V_inf=(\frac-16Y(S))^\frac32{\mathcal{V}_{\rm \inf}=\left(\frac{-1}{6}Y(\Sigma)\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}. Inspired by this fact we define the ground state of the manifold Σ as “the limit” of any sequence of CMC states {(g _i , K _i )} satisfying: (i) k _i  = −3, (ii) V_iˉ V_inf{\mathcal{V}_{i}\downarrow \mathcal{V}_{\rm inf}}, (iii) Q ₀((g _i , K _i )) ≤ Λ, where Q ₀ is the Bel–Robinson energy and Λ is any arbitrary positive constant. We prove that (as a geometric state) the ground state is equivalent to the Thurston geometrization of Σ. Ground states classify naturally into three types. We provide examples for each class, including a new ground state (the Double Cusp) that we analyze in detail. Finally, consider a long time and cosmologically normalized flow ([(g)\tilde],[(K)\tilde])(s)=((\frac-k3)²g,(\frac-k3)K){(\tilde{g},\tilde{K})(\sigma)=\left(\left(\frac{-k}{3}\right)^{2}g,\left(\frac{-k}{3}\right)K\right)}, where s = -ln(-k) ? [a,￥){\sigma=-\ln (-k)\in [a,\infty)}. We prove that if [(E₁)\tilde]=E₁(([(g)\tilde],[(K)\tilde])) ￡ L{\tilde{\mathcal{E}_{1}}=\mathcal{E}_{1}((\tilde{g},\tilde{K}))\leq \Lambda} (where E₁=Q₀+Q₁{\mathcal{E}_{1}=Q_{0}+Q_{1}}, is the sum of the zero and first order Bel–Robinson energies) the flow ([(g)\tilde],[(K)\tilde])(s){(\tilde{g},\tilde{K})(\sigma)} persistently geometrizes the three-manifold Σ and the geometrization is the ground state if Vˉ V_inf{\mathcal{V}\downarrow \mathcal{V}_{\rm inf}}.
