Riesz Transform Characterizations of Hardy Spaces Associated to Degenerate Elliptic Operators

Let \({L_{w}}{:=-w^{-1}{\rm div}(A\nabla)}\) be the degenerate elliptic operator on the Euclidean space \({{\mathbb{R}^{n}}}\), where w is a Muckenhoupt \({A_{2}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})}\) weight. In this article, the authors establish the Riesz transform characterization of the Hardy space \({H^{p}_{L_{w}}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})}\) associated with L_w, for \({w \in A_{q}({\mathbb{R}}^{n}) \cap RH_{\frac{n}{n-2}}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})}\) with \({n \geq 3}\), \({q \in [1,2]}\) and \({p \in (q(\frac{1}{r}+\frac{q-1}{2}+\frac{1}{n})^{-1},1]}\) if, for some \({r \in (1,\,2]}\), \({{\{tL_w e^{-tL_w}\}}_{t\geq 0}}\) satisfies the weighted \({L^{r}-L^{2}}\) full off-diagonal estimates.     

On the classification of 4-dimensional $$(m,\rho )$$-quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl curvature

In this paper we study four-dimensional \((m,\rho )\)-quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl curvature when \(m\notin \{0,\pm 1,-2,\pm \infty \}\) and \(\rho \notin \{\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{6}\}\). We prove that a non-trivial \((m,\rho )\)-quasi-Einstein metric g (not necessarily complete) is locally isometric to one of the following: (i) \({\mathcal {B}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\times {\mathbb {N}}^2_\frac{R(m+1)}{2(m+2)}\), where \({\mathcal {B}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\) is the northern hemisphere in the two-dimensional (2D) sphere \({\mathbb {S}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\), \({\mathbb {N}}_\delta \) is a 2D Riemannian manifold with constant curvature \(\delta \), and R is the constant scalar curvature of g. (ii) \({\mathcal {D}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\times {\mathbb {N}}^2_\frac{R(m+1)}{2(m+2)}\), where \({\mathcal {D}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\) is half (cut by a hyperbolic line) of hyperbolic plane \({\mathbb {H}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\). (iii) \({\mathbb {H}}^2_\frac{R}{2(m+2)}\times {\mathbb {N}}^2_\frac{R(m+1)}{2(m+2)}\). (iv) A certain singular metric with \(\rho =0\). (v) A locally conformal flat metric. By applying this local classification, we obtain a classification of the complete \((m,\rho )\)-quasi-Einstein manifolds given the condition of a harmonic Weyl curvature. Our result can be viewed as a local classification of gradient Einstein-type manifolds. A corollary of our result is the classification of \((\lambda ,4+m)\)-Einstein manifolds, which can be viewed as (m, 0)-quasi-Einstein manifolds.     

Some estimates for the Schrödinger type operators with nonnegative potentials

In this paper we consider the Schrödinger operator ?Δ + V on \({\mathbb R^d}\), where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Hölder class \({B_{q_{_1}}}\) for some \({q_{_1}\geq \frac{d}{2}}\) with d ≥ 3. Let \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) denote the Hardy space related to the Schrödinger operator L = ?Δ + V and \({BMO_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) be the dual space of \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\). We show that the Schrödinger type operator \({\nabla(-\Delta +V)^{-\beta}}\) is bounded from \({H^1_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) into \({L^p(\mathbb R^d)}\) for \({p=\frac{d}{d-(2\beta-1)}}\) with \({ \frac{1}{2}<\beta<\frac{3}{2} }\) and that it is also bounded from \({L^p(\mathbb R^d)}\) into \({BMO_L(\mathbb R^d)}\) for \({p=\frac{d}{2\beta-1}}\) with \({ \frac{1}{2}<\beta< 2}\).     

Uniform in bandwidth exact rates for a class of kernel estimators

Given an i.i.d sample (Y _i , Z _i ), taking values in \({\mathbb{R}^{d'}\times\mathbb{R}^d}\), we consider a collection Nadarya–Watson kernel estimators of the conditional expectations \({\mathbb{E}( <\,c_g(z),g(Y)>+d_g(z)\mid Z=z)}\), where z belongs to a compact set \({H\subset \mathbb{R}^d}\), g a Borel function on \({\mathbb{R}^{d'}}\) and c _g (·), d _g (·) are continuous functions on \({\mathbb{R}^d}\). Given two bandwidth sequences \({h_n<\mathfrak{h}_n}\) fulfilling mild conditions, we obtain an exact and explicit almost sure limit bounds for the deviations of these estimators around their expectations, uniformly in \({g\in\mathcal{G},\;z\in H}\) and \({h_n\le h\le \mathfrak{h}_n}\) under mild conditions on the density f _Z , the class \({\mathcal{G}}\), the kernel K and the functions c _g (·), d _g (·). We apply this result to prove that smoothed empirical likelihood can be used to build confidence intervals for conditional probabilities \({\mathbb{P}( Y\in C\mid Z=z)}\), that hold uniformly in \({z\in H,\; C\in \mathcal{C},\; h\in [h_n,\mathfrak{h}_n]}\). Here \({\mathcal{C}}\) is a Vapnik–Chervonenkis class of sets.     

On the Drygas functional equation in restricted domains

Let \({{\mathbb{R}}}\) and Y be the set of real numbers and a Banach space respectively, and \({f, g :{\mathbb{R}} \to Y}\). We prove the Ulam-Hyers stability theorems for the Pexider-quadratic functional equation \({f(x + y) + f(x - y) = 2f(x) + 2g(y)}\) and the Drygas functional equation \({f(x + y) + f(x - y) = 2f(x) + f(y) + f(-y)}\) in the restricted domains of form \({\Gamma_d := \Gamma \cap \{(x, y) \in {\mathbb{R}}^2 : |x| + |y| \ge d\}}\), where \({\Gamma}\) is a rotation of \({B \times B \subset {\mathbb{R}}^2}\) and \({B^c}\) is of the first category. As a consequence we obtain asymptotic behaviors of the equations in a set \({\Gamma_d \subset {\mathbb{R}}^2}\) of Lebesgue measure zero.     

Integral means of weighted Hardy–Bloch functions

Let \({\mathcal{B}^\omega(p, q, B_d)}\) denote the \({\omega}\)-weighted Hardy–Bloch space on the unit ball B _d of \({\mathbb{C}^d}\), \({d\ge 1}\). For \({2< p,q < \infty}\) and \({f\in \mathcal{B}^\omega(p, q, B_d)}\), we obtain sharp estimates on the growth of the p-integral means M _p (f, r) as \({r\to 1-}\).     

The fractional Neumann and Robin type boundary conditions for the regional fractional <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplacian

Let \({p \in (1,\infty)}\), \({s \in (0,1)}\) and \({\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^{N}}}\) a bounded open set with boundary \({\partial\Omega}\) of class C ^1,1. In the first part of the article we prove an integration by parts formula for the fractional p-Laplace operator \({(-\Delta)_{p}^{s}}\) defined on \({\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}^{N}}}\) and acting on functions that do not necessarily vanish at the boundary \({\partial\Omega}\). In the second part of the article we use the above mentioned integration by parts formula to clarify the fractional Neumann and Robin boundary conditions associated with the fractional p-Laplacian on open sets.     

Disposition p-groups

For any prime p and positive integers c, d there is up to isomorphism a unique p-group \({G_{d}^{c}(p)}\) of least order having any (finite) p-group G with rank \({d(G) \le d}\) and Frattini class \({c_{p}(G) \le c}\) as epimorphic image. Here \({c_{p}(G) = n}\) is the least positive integer such that G has a central series of length n with all factors being elementary. This “disposition” p-group \({G_{d}^{c}(p)}\) has been examined quite intensively in the literature, sometimes controversially. The objective of this paper is to present a summary of the known facts, and to add some new results. For instance we show that for \({G = G_{d}^{c}(p)}\) the centralizer \({C_{G}(x) = \langle Z(G), x \rangle}\) whenever \({x \in G}\) is outside the Frattini subgroup, and that for odd p and \({d \ge 2}\) the group \({E = G_{d}^{c+1}(p)/(G_{d}^{c+1}(p))^{p^{c}}}\) is a distinguished Schur cover of G with \({E/Z(E) \cong G}\). We also have a fibre product construction of \({G_{d}^{c+1}(p)}\) in terms of \({G = G_{d}^{c}(p)}\) which might be of interest for Galois theory.     

Maximum Principle for H-Surfaces in the Unit Cone and Dirichlet’s Problem for their Equation in Central Projection

In the unit cone\({\mathcal{C} := \{(x, y, z)} \in {\mathbb R}^{3} : {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} < {z}^{2}, {z} > {0}\}\) we establish a geometric maximum principle for H-surfaces, where its mean curvature \({H = H(x, y, z)}\) is optimally bounded. Consequently, these surfaces cannot touch the conical boundary \({\partial \mathcal{C}}\) at interior points and have to approach \({\partial \mathcal{C}}\) transversally. By a nonlinear continuity method, we then solve the Dirichlet problem of the H-surface equation in central projection for Jordan-domains \({\Omega}\) which are strictly convex in the following sense: On its whole boundary \({\partial \mathcal{C}(\Omega)}\) their associate cone \({\mathcal{C}(\Omega) := \{(rx, ry, r) \in {\mathbb R}^{3} : (x, y) \in \Omega, r \in (0,+\infty)}\}\) admits rotated unit cones \({O \circ \mathcal{C}}\) as solids of support, where \({O \in {\mathbb R}^{3\times3}}\) represents a rotation in the Euclidean space. Thus we construct the unique H-surface with one-to-one central projection onto these domains \({\Omega}\) bounding a given Jordan-contour \({\Gamma \subset \mathcal{C} \backslash \{0\}}\) with one-toone central projection.     

Heat kernel approach for sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight

In this article, using the heat kernel approach from Bouche (Asymptotic results for Hermitian line bundles over complex manifolds: The heat kernel approach, Higher-dimensional complex varieties, pp 67–81, de Gruyter, Berlin, 1996), we derive sup-norm bounds for cusp forms of integral and half-integral weight. Let \({\Gamma\subset \mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})}\) be a cocompact Fuchsian subgroup of first kind. For \({k \in \frac{1}{2} \mathbb{Z}}\) (or \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)), let \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\) denote the complex vector space of cusp forms of weight-k and nebentypus \({\nu^{2k}}\) (\({\nu^{k\slash 2}}\), if \({k \in 2\mathbb{Z}}\)) with respect to \({\Gamma}\), where \({\nu}\) is a unitary character. Let \({\lbrace f_{1},\ldots,f_{j_{k}} \rbrace}\) denote an orthonormal basis of \({S^{k}_{\nu}(\Gamma)}\). In this article, we show that as \({k \rightarrow \infty,}\) the sup-norm for \({\sum_{i=1}^{j_{k}}y^{k}|f_{i}(z)|^{2}}\) is bounded by O(k), where the implied constant is independent of \({\Gamma}\). Furthermore, using results from Berman (Math. Z. 248:325–344, 2004), we extend these results to the case when \({\Gamma}\) is cofinite.     

Asymptotic behavior of the p-torsion functions as p goes to 1

Let \({\Omega}\) be a Lipschitz bounded domain of \({\mathbb{R}^N}\), \({N\geq2}\), and let \({u_p\in W_0^{1,p}(\Omega)}\) denote the p-torsion function of \({\Omega}\), p > 1. It is observed that the value 1 for the Cheeger constant \({h(\Omega)}\) is threshold with respect to the asymptotic behavior of u_p, as \({p\rightarrow 1^+}\), in the following sense: when \({h(\Omega) > 1}\), one has \({\lim_{p\rightarrow 1^+}\left\|u_{p}\right\| _{L^\infty(\Omega)}=0}\), and when \({h(\Omega) < 1}\), one has \({\lim_{p\rightarrow 1^+}\left\|u_p\right\| _{L^\infty(\Omega)}=\infty}\). In the case \({h(\Omega)=1}\), it is proved that \({\limsup_{p\rightarrow1^+}\left\|u_p\right\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)}<\infty}\). For a radial annulus \({\Omega_{a,b}}\), with inner radius a and outer radius b, it is proved that \({\lim_{p\rightarrow 1^+}\left\|u_p\right\| _{L^\infty(\Omega_{a,b})}=0}\) when \({h(\Omega_{a,b})=1}\).     

Homoclinic Solutions for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)-Laplacian–Hamiltonian Systems Without Coercive Conditions

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions for the following second-order p(t)-Laplacian–Hamiltonian systems

$$\frac{{\rm d}}{{\rm d}t}(|\dot{u}(t)|^{p(t)-2}\dot{u}(t))-a(t)|u(t)|^{p(t)-2}u(t)+\nabla W(t,u(t))=0,$$

where \({t \in \mathbb{R}}\), \({u \in \mathbb{R}^n}\), \({p \in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})}\) with p(t) > 1, \({a \in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})}\), \({W\in C^1(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R})}\) and \({\nabla W(t,u)}\) is the gradient of W(t, u) in u. The point is that, assuming that a(t) is bounded in the sense that there are constants \({0<\tau_1<\tau_2<\infty}\) such that \({\tau_1\leq a(t)\leq \tau_2 }\) for all \({t \in \mathbb{R}}\) and W(t, u) is of super-p(t) growth or sub-p(t) growth as \({|u|\rightarrow \infty}\), we provide two new criteria to ensure the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions, respectively. Recent results in the literature are extended and significantly improved.

     

Normal forms of functional-differential equations of Beardon type and Briot–Bouquet type equations in the complex domain

We study local analytic solutions of the functional-differential equation of the form \({h(\psi(z)) = b(z) h(z) h^\prime(z) + d(z)h(z)^{2}}\) which are called Beardon type functional-differential equations. All functions involved are supposed to be holomorphic in a neighbourhood of zero. Special cases are the equations f(kz) =  kf(z) f′(z) where k is a complex number, \({k \neq 0}\), and \({f(\varphi(z)) = a(z) f(z) f'(z)}\) with given \({\varphi}\) and a. The class of these equations is invariant under transformations \({h \to \alpha h, \alpha(z) \neq 0}\) for all z in a neighbourhood of zero, of the unknown function and \({z \to T(z)}\) of the argument z. In particular, we are interested to know under which conditions a Beardon type functional-differential equation can be transformed to the simplified (normal form) \({h(kz) = k h(z) h'(z) + c(z) h(z)^2}\) where \({k \in \mathbb {C} \backslash\left\{0\right\}}\). We solve this normal form by another transfomation to a so-called Briot–Bouquet type functional-differential equation.     

Mutually prime sequences of inner functions and the ranks of subspaces over the bidisk

Let \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) be a sequence of inner functions satisfying that \({\zeta_n(z):=\varphi_n(z)/\varphi_{n+1}(z)\in H^\infty(z)}\) for every n ≥ 0 and \({\{\varphi_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) have no nonconstant common inner divisors. Associated with it, we have a Rudin type invariant subspace \({\mathcal{M}}\) of \({H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)}\) . We write \({\mathcal{N}= H^2(\mathbb{D}^2)\ominus\mathcal{M}}\) . If \({\{\zeta_n(z)\}_{n\ge0}}\) ia a mutually prime sequence, then we shall prove that \({rank_{\{T^\ast_z,T^\ast_w\}} \mathcal{N}=1}\) and \({rank_{\{\mathcal{F}^\ast_z\}}(\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M})=1}\) , where \({\mathcal{F}_z}\) is the fringe operator on \({\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M}}\) .     

Helicoidal surfaces satisfying {\Delta ^{II}\mathbf{G}=f(\mathbf{G}+C)}

In this paper, we study helicoidal surfaces without parabolic points in Euclidean 3-space \({\mathbb{R} ^{3}}\), satisfying the condition \({\Delta ^{II}\mathbf{G}=f(\mathbf{G}+C)}\), where \({\Delta ^{II}}\) is the Laplace operator with respect to the second fundamental form, f is a smooth function on the surface and C is a constant vector. Our main results state that helicoidal surfaces without parabolic points in \({ \mathbb{R} ^{3}}\) which satisfy the condition \({\Delta ^{II} \mathbf{G}=f(\mathbf{G}+C)}\), coincide with helicoidal surfaces with non-zero constant Gaussian curvature.     

A Schwarz Lemma at the Boundary of Hilbert Balls

In this paper, the authors prove a general Schwarz lemma at the boundary for the holomorphic mapping f between unit balls B and B′in separable complex Hilbert spaces H and H′, respectively. It is found that if the mapping f ∈ C~(1+α)at z_0∈ ?B with f(z_0) = w_0∈ ?B′, then the Fr′echet derivative operator Df(z_0) maps the tangent space Tz_0(?B~n) to Tw_0(?B′), the holomorphic tangent space T_(z_0)~(1,0)(?B~n) to T_(w_0)~(1,0)(?B′),respectively.     

Schatten-Herz Operators,Berezin Transform and Mixed Norm Spaces

For p, q > 0 we study operators T on the Bergman space \({A_{2}(\mathbb{D)}}\) in the disk such that \({\left(\sum_{j}\Vert T\Delta_{j}\Vert_{p}^{q}\right)^{1/q}<\infty,}\) where the norms \({\Vert\cdot\Vert_{p}}\) are in the Schatten class S _p (A ₂), the projection \({\Delta_{j}f=\sum_{n\in I_{j}}a_{n}z^{n}}\) for \({f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}z^{n}}\) and \({I_{j}=[2^{j}-1,2^{j+1} )\cap(\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\})}\) for \({j\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}.}\) We consider the relation of this property with mixed norms of the Berezin transform of T and of the related function \({f_{T}(z)={\Vert}T(k_{z})\Vert}\) where k _z is the normalized Bergman kernel. These classes of operators denoted by S(p, q) are closely related when assumed to be positive with other sets of operators, like the class of positive operators on A ₂ for which \({\left(\sum_{j\geq0}(\sum_{n\in I_{j}}|\left\langle T^pe_{n},e_{n}\right\rangle |)^{q/p}\right)^{1/q}<\infty}\) , where \({\{e_{n}\}_{n\geq0}}\) is the canonical basis of A ₂; also we study the relation of Toeplitz operators in S(p, q) with the Schatten-Herz classes, where the decomposition is through dyadic annuli of the domain \({\mathbb{D}}\) .     

Neostability-properties of Fraïssé limits of 2-nilpotent groups of exponent {p > 2}

Let \({L(n)}\) be the language of group theory with n additional new constant symbols \({c_1,\ldots,c_n}\). In \({L(n)}\) we consider the class \({{\mathbb{K}}(n)}\) of all finite groups G of exponent \({p > 2}\), where \({G'\subseteq\langle c_1^G,\ldots,c_n^G\rangle \subseteq Z(G)}\) and \({c_1^G,\ldots,c_n^G}\) are linearly independent. Using amalgamation we show the existence of Fraïssé limits \({D(n)}\) of \({{\mathbb{K}}(n)}\). \({D(1)}\) is Felgner’s extra special p-group. The elementary theories of the \({D(n)}\) are supersimple of SU-rank 1. They have the independence property.     

Analytic automorphisms of {\mathbb{C}^2} generated by polynomial vector fields

We give the classification of the transcendental automorphisms of \({\mathbb{C}^{2}}\) of the form \({(x,y)\to(P e^{Q},R e^{S})}\) with P,Q,R, \({S\in \mathbb{C}[x,y]}\).     

Depth,Stanley depth,and regularity of ideals associated to graphs

Let \({\mathbb{K}}\) be a field and \({S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]}\) be the polynomial ring in n variables over \({\mathbb{K}}\). Let G be a graph with n vertices. Assume that \({I=I(G)}\) is the edge ideal of G and \({J=J(G)}\) is its cover ideal. We prove that \({{\rm sdepth}(J)\geq n-\nu_{o}(G)}\) and \({{\rm sdepth}(S/J)\geq n-\nu_{o}(G)-1}\), where \({\nu_{o}(G)}\) is the ordered matching number of G. We also prove the inequalities \({{\rmsdepth}(J^k)\geq {\rm depth}(J^k)}\) and \({{\rm sdepth}(S/J^k)\geq {\rmdepth}(S/J^k)}\), for every integer \({k\gg 0}\), when G is a bipartite graph. Moreover, we provide an elementary proof for the known inequality reg\({(S/I)\leq \nu_{o}(G)}\).
