The Representation of a C0-Semigroup of Linear Operators in a Banach Space on the Set of Entire Vectors of its Generator

For a C₀-semigroup \({\{U(t)\}_{t \geq 0}}\) of linear operators in a Banach space \({{\mathfrak{B}}}\) with generator A, we describe the set of elements \({x \in {\mathfrak{B}}}\) whose orbits U(t)x can be extended to entire \({{\mathfrak{B}}}\)-valued functions of a finite order and a finite type, and establish the conditions under which this set is dense in \({{\mathfrak{B}}}\). The Hille problem of finding vectors \({x \in {\mathfrak{B}}}\) such that there exists the limit \({\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\left(I + \frac{tA}{n}\right)^{n}x}\) is also solved in the paper. We prove that this limit exists if and only if x is an entire vector of the operator A, and if this is the case, then it coincides with U(t)x.     

Partial isometries and extensions of $${{\rm A}{\mathbb T}}$$-algebras

In this paper, we will define several new isomorphism invariants for C*-algebras by hyponormal partial isometries and discuss the relation between these invariants and K-theory of C*-algebras. This study was in part inspired by the work of H. Lin and H. Su in the context of \({A\mathcal{T}}\)-algebras. An \({{\rm A}\mathcal{T}}\)-algebra often becomes an extension of an \({{\rm A}\mathbb{T}}\)-algebra by an AF-algebra. We show that there is an essential extension of a simple \({{\rm A}\mathbb{T}}\)-algebra which has real rank zero by an AF-algebra such that it has real rank zero and is not an \({A\mathcal{T}}\)-algebra.     

A Note on Derivations on the Algebra of Operators in Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Modules

Let \({\mathfrak{M}}\) be a Hilbert C*-module on a C*-algebra \({\mathfrak{A}}\) and let \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) be the algebra of all operators on \({\mathfrak{M}}\). In this paper, first the continuity of \({\mathfrak{A}}\)-module homomorphism derivations on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) is investigated. We give some sufficient conditions on which every derivation on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) is inner. Next, we study approximately innerness of derivations on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) for a σ-unital C*-algebra \({\mathfrak{A}}\) and full Hilbert \({\mathfrak{A}}\)-module \({\mathfrak{M}}\). Finally, we show that every bounded linear mapping on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) which behave like a derivation when acting on pairs of elements with unit product, is a Jordan derivation.     

Additive iterative roots of identity and Hamel bases

We describe a class of discontinuous additive functions \({a:X\to X}\) on a real topological vector space X such that \({a^n={\rm id}_X}\) and \({a({\mathcal{H}}){\setminus} {\mathcal{H}}\neq\emptyset}\) for every infinite set \({{\mathcal{H}}\subset X}\) of vectors linearly independent over \({\mathbb{Q}}\). We prove the density of the family of all such functions in the linear topological space \({{\mathcal{A}}_X}\) of all additive functions \({a:X\to X}\) with the topology induced on \({{\mathcal{A}}_X}\) by the Tychonoff topology of the space X^X. Moreover, we consider additive functions \({a\in{\mathcal{A}}_X}\) satisfying \({a^n={\rm id}_X}\) and \({a({\mathcal{H}})= {\mathcal{H}}}\) for some Hamel basis \({{\mathcal{H}}}\) of X. We show that the class of all such functions is also dense in \({{\mathcal{A}}_X}\). The method is based on decomposition theorems for linear endomorphisms.     

Similarity Classification and Properties of Some Extended Holomorphic Curves

For \({\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{C}}\) a connected open set, and \({{\mathcal U}}\) a unital Banach algebra (or a unital C*-algebra), let \({{\xi (U)}}\) and \({ P({\mathcal U})}\) denote the sets of all idempotents and projections in \({{\mathcal U}}\), respectively. If \({e:\Omega\rightarrow \xi ({\mathcal U})}\) (resp.\({P({\mathcal U}))}\) is a holomorphic \({{\mathcal U}}\)-valued map, then e is called an extended holomorphic curve on \({ \xi ({\mathcal U})}\) (resp. \({P({\mathcal U})}\)). In this article, we focus on discussing the similarity classification problem of extended holomorphic curves. First, we introduce the definition of the commutant of extended holomorphic curves. By using K ₀-group of the commutant of the extended holomorphic curve, we characterize the curve which has unique finite (SI) decomposition up to similarity. Subsequently, we also obtain a similarity classification theorem. Second, we also discuss the unitary equivalence problem of some curves with respect to inductive limit C*-algebras.     

Remarks on Complex Symmetric Operators

An operator \({T\in{\mathcal{L}}({\mathcal{H}})}\) is said to be complex symmetric if there exists a conjugation C on \({{\mathcal H}}\) such that \({T= CT^{\ast}C}\). In this paper, we study the spectral radius algebras for complex symmetric operators. In particular, we prove that if A is a complex symmetric operator, then the spectral radius algebra \({{\mathcal B}_{A}}\) associated with A has a nontrivial invariant subspace under some conditions. Finally, we give some relations between \({P_{\tilde{A}}}\) and \({P_{\widetilde{A^{\ast}}}}\) (defined below) when A is complex symmetric.     

Resilience of ranks of higher inclusion matrices

Let \(n \ge r \ge s \ge 0\) be integers and \(\mathcal {F}\) a family of r-subsets of [n]. Let \(W_{r,s}^{\mathcal {F}}\) be the higher inclusion matrix of the subsets in \({{\mathcal {F}}}\) vs. the s-subsets of [n]. When \(\mathcal {F}\) consists of all r-subsets of [n], we shall simply write \(W_{r,s}\) in place of \(W_{r,s}^{\mathcal {F}}\). In this paper we prove that the rank of the higher inclusion matrix \(W_{r,s}\) over an arbitrary field K is resilient. That is, if the size of \(\mathcal {F}\) is “close” to \({n \atopwithdelims ()r}\) then \({{\mathrm{rank}}}_{K}( W_{r,s}^{\mathcal {F}}) = {{\mathrm{rank}}}_{K}(W_{r,s})\), where K is an arbitrary field. Furthermore, we prove that the rank (over a field K) of the higher inclusion matrix of r-subspaces vs. s-subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space over \({\mathbb {F}}_q\) is also resilient if \(\mathrm{char}(K)\) is coprime to q.     

On a variational problem involving critical Sobolev growth in dimension three

In this paper we consider the following nonlinear problem: \({{-\Delta u=Ku^{5}}}\), u > 0 in \({{\Omega}}\), u =  0 on \({{\partial \Omega}}\), where K > 0 in \({{\Omega}}\), K =  0 on \({{\partial \Omega}}\) and \({{\Omega}}\) is a bounded domain of \({{\mathbb{R}^{3}}}\). We prove a version of a Morse lemma at infinity for this problem, which allows us to describe the critical points at infinity of the associated variational functional. Using a topological argument, we prove an existence result.     

An <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-invariant subspace for bipartite distance-regular graphs with exactly two irreducible <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>-modules with endpoint 2, both thin

Let \(\Gamma \) denote a bipartite distance-regular graph with vertex set X, diameter \(D \ge 4\), and valency \(k \ge 3\). Let \({{\mathbb {C}}}^X\) denote the vector space over \({{\mathbb {C}}}\) consisting of column vectors with entries in \({{\mathbb {C}}}\) and rows indexed by X. For \(z \in X\), let \({{\widehat{z}}}\) denote the vector in \({{\mathbb {C}}}^X\) with a 1 in the z-coordinate, and 0 in all other coordinates. Fix a vertex x of \(\Gamma \) and let \(T = T(x)\) denote the corresponding Terwilliger algebra. Assume that up to isomorphism there exist exactly two irreducible T-modules with endpoint 2, and they both are thin. Fix \(y \in X\) such that \(\partial (x,y)=2\), where \(\partial \) denotes path-length distance. For \(0 \le i,j \le D\) define \(w_{ij}=\sum {{\widehat{z}}}\), where the sum is over all \(z \in X\) such that \(\partial (x,z)=i\) and \(\partial (y,z)=j\). We define \(W=\mathrm{span}\{w_{ij} \mid 0 \le i,j \le D\}\). In this paper we consider the space \(MW=\mathrm{span}\{mw \mid m \in M, w \in W\}\), where M is the Bose–Mesner algebra of \(\Gamma \). We observe that MW is the minimal A-invariant subspace of \({{\mathbb {C}}}^X\) which contains W, where A is the adjacency matrix of \(\Gamma \). We show that \(4D-6 \le \mathrm{dim}(MW) \le 4D-2\). We display a basis for MW for each of these five cases, and we give the action of A on these bases.     

On Spectral Analysis and Spectral Synthesis in the Space of Tempered Functions on Discrete Abelian Groups

We consider some problems of spectral analysis and spectral synthesis in the topological vector space \({{\mathcal {M}}}(G)\) of tempered functions on a discrete Abelian group G. It is proved that spectral analysis holds in the space \({{\mathcal {M}}}(G)\) on every Abelian group G, that is, every nonzero closed linear translation invariant subspace of \({{\mathcal {M}}}(G)\) contains an exponential. For any finitely generated Abelian group G it is proved, that spectral synthesis holds in \({{\mathcal {M}}}(G)\), that is, every closed linear translation invariant subspace \({{\mathscr {H}}}\) of \({{\mathcal {M}}}(G)\) coincides with the closed linear span of all exponential monomials belonging to \({{\mathscr {H}}}\). For any Abelian group G with infinite torsion free rank it is proved that spectral synthesis fails to hold in the space \({{\mathcal {M}}}(G)\).     

Invariant {\varphi}-means on left introverted subspaces with application to locally compact quantum groups

Given a Banach algebra \({{\mathcal{A}}}\), for a non-zero character \({\varphi}\) on \({{\mathcal{A}}}\), we characterize the existence of \({\varphi}\)-means on a left introverted subspace of \({{\mathcal{A}^{*}}}\) containing \({\varphi}\) in terms of certain derivations from \({{\mathcal{A}}}\) into certain Banach \({{\mathcal{A}}}\)-bimodules. We also adapt and extend a result in (Crann and Neufang, Trans Amer Math Soc 368:495–513, 2016) on locally compact quantum groups to the Banach algebra setting which, in particular, answers a question of Bédos and Tuset, concerning the amenability of locally compact quantum groups.     

Correction: An Application of Free Probability to Arithmetic Functions

In this paper, we study free probability on tensor product algebra \(\mathfrak {M} = M\,\otimes _{\mathbb {C}}\,{\mathcal {A}}\) of a \(W^{*}\)-algebra M and the algebra \({\mathcal {A}}\), consisting of all arithmetic functions equipped with the functional addition and the convolution. We study free-distributional data of certain elements of \(\mathfrak {M}\), and study freeness on \(\mathfrak {M}\), affected by fixed primes.     

Wandering Operators for Unitary Systems of Hilbert Spaces

In this paper, we introduce the concept of complete wandering operators for a system \({{\mathcal {U}}}\) of unitary operators acting on a Hilbert space, which can be viewed as an abstract mathematical model for \(g\)-orthonormal bases of Hilbert spaces and operator-valued wavelets for \(L^2(R)\). The idea comes from Dai and Larson’s work (Mem Am Math Soc 134:640 1998), where the wandering vectors for a unitary system are introduced as an abstract model for orthogonal wavelets. The topological and algebraical properties of the set \({{\mathcal {W}}}({{\mathcal {U}}})\) of all complete wandering operators for a unitary system \({{\mathcal {U}}}\) are studied. In particular, properties of the local commutant of \({{\mathcal {U}}}\) are established. A parametrization formula for \({{\mathcal {W}}}({{\mathcal {U}}})\) and some interesting algebraic properties of complete wandering operators for a unitary system are obtained. The special case of greatest interest is the wavelet system \(\{{{\mathcal {U}}}_{D,T}\}\). We pay certain attention on studying this more structured unitary system and some structural theorems are established. Lots of properties of the wandering vectors for a unitary system are extended to the more general case, i.e. the wandering operators for a unitary system. However, operator-valued case is more complicated. We also give some examples to illustrate our results. Our works show that wavelet theory and frame theory are deeply connected with operator theory.     

A geometric approach to alternating <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-linear forms

Denote by \({{\mathcal {G}}}_k(V)\) the Grassmannian of the k-subspaces of a vector space V over a field \({\mathbb {K}}\). There is a natural correspondence between hyperplanes H of \({\mathcal {G}}_k(V)\) and alternating k-linear forms on V defined up to a scalar multiple. Given a hyperplane H of \({{\mathcal {G}}_k}(V)\), we define a subspace \(R^{\uparrow }(H)\) of \({{\mathcal {G}}_{k-1}}(V)\) whose elements are the \((k-1)\)-subspaces A such that all k-spaces containing A belong to H. When \(n-k\) is even, \(R^{\uparrow }(H)\) might be empty; when \(n-k\) is odd, each element of \({\mathcal {G}}_{k-2}(V)\) is contained in at least one element of \(R^{\uparrow }(H)\). In the present paper, we investigate several properties of \(R^{\uparrow }(H)\), settle some open problems and propose a conjecture.     

Hausdorffness for Lie algebra homology of Schwartz spaces and applications to the comparison conjecture

Let H be a real algebraic group acting equivariantly with finitely many orbits on a real algebraic manifold X and a real algebraic bundle \({\mathcal {E}}\) on X. Let \(\mathfrak {h}\) be the Lie algebra of H. Let \(\mathcal {S}(X,{\mathcal {E}})\) be the space of Schwartz sections of \({\mathcal {E}}\). We prove that \(\mathfrak {h}\mathcal {S}(X,{\mathcal {E}})\) is a closed subspace of \(\mathcal {S}(X,{\mathcal {E}})\) of finite codimension. We give an application of this result in the case when H is a real spherical subgroup of a real reductive group G. We deduce an equivalence of two old conjectures due to Casselman: the automatic continuity and the comparison conjecture for zero homology. Namely, let \(\pi \) be a Casselman–Wallach representation of G and V be the corresponding Harish–Chandra module. Then the natural morphism of coinvariants \(V_{\mathfrak {h}}\rightarrow \pi _{\mathfrak {h}}\) is an isomorphism if and only if any linear \(\mathfrak {h}\)-invariant functional on V is continuous in the topology induced from \(\pi \). The latter statement is known to hold in two important special cases: if H includes a symmetric subgroup, and if H includes the nilradical of a minimal parabolic subgroup of G.     

On a strange invariant bilinear form on the space of automorphic forms

Let F be a global field and \(G:=SL(2)\). We study the bilinear form \({{\mathcal {B}}}\) on the space of K-finite smooth compactly supported functions on \(G({\mathbb {A}})/G(F)\) defined by

$$\begin{aligned} {{\mathcal {B}}}(f_1,f_2):={{\mathcal {B}}}_{\mathrm {naive}}(f_1,f_2)-\langle M^{-1}{{\mathrm{{CT}}}}(f_1)\, ,{{\mathrm{{CT}}}}(f_2)\rangle , \end{aligned}$$

where \({{\mathcal {B}}}_{\mathrm {naive}}\) is the usual scalar product, \({{\mathrm{{CT}}}}\) is the constant term operator, and M is the standard intertwiner. This form is natural from the viewpoint of the geometric Langlands program. To justify this claim, we provide a dictionary between the classical and ‘geometric’ theory of automorphic forms. We also show that the form \({{\mathcal {B}}}\) is related to S. Schieder’s Picard–Lefschetz oscillators.

     

Uniformly locally univalent harmonic mappings

The primary aim of this paper is to characterize the uniformly locally univalent harmonic mappings in the unit disk. Then, we obtain sharp distortion, growth and covering theorems for one parameter family \({{\mathcal {B}}}_{H}(\lambda )\) of uniformly locally univalent harmonic mappings. Finally, we show that the subclass of k-quasiconformal harmonic mappings in \({{\mathcal {B}}}_{H}(\lambda )\) and the class \({{\mathcal {B}}}_{H}(\lambda )\) are contained in the Hardy space of a specific exponent depending on \(\lambda \), respectively, and we also discuss the growth of coefficients for harmonic mappings in \({{\mathcal {B}}}_{H}(\lambda )\).     

On EA-equivalence of certain permutations to power mappings

In this paper we investigate the existence of permutation polynomials of the form x ^d  + L(x) on \({{\mathbb{F}_{2^n}}}\) , where \({{L(x)\in\mathbb{F}_{2^n}[x]}}\) is a linearized polynomial. It is shown that for some special d with gcd(d, 2 ⁿ ?1) > 1, x ^d  + L(x) is nerve a permutation on \({{\mathbb{F}_{2^n}}}\) for any linearized polynomial \({{L(x)\in\mathbb{F}_{2^n}[x]}}\) . For the Gold functions \({{x^{2^i+1}}}\) , it is shown that \({{x^{2^i+1}+L(x)}}\) is a permutation on \({{\mathbb{F}_{2^n}}}\) if and only if n is odd and \({{L(x)=\alpha^{2^i}x+\alpha x^{2^i}}}\) for some \({{\alpha\in\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^{*}}}\) . We also disprove a conjecture in (Macchetti Addendum to on the generalized linear equivalence of functions over finite fields. Cryptology ePrint Archive, Report2004/347, 2004) in a very simple way. At last some interesting results concerning permutation polynomials of the form x ^?1 + L(x) are given.     

Conformal embeddings of affine vertex algebras in minimal <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis>-algebras II: decompositions

We present methods for computing the explicit decomposition of the minimal simple affine W-algebra \({W_k(\mathfrak{g}, \theta)}\) as a module for its maximal affine subalgebra \({\mathscr{V}_k(\mathfrak{g}^{\natural})}\) at a conformal level k, that is, whenever the Virasoro vectors of \({W_k(\mathfrak{g}, \theta)}\) and \({\mathscr{V}_k(\mathfrak{g}^\natural)}\) coincide. A particular emphasis is given on the application of affine fusion rules to the determination of branching rules. In almost all cases when \({\mathfrak{g}^{\natural}}\) is a semisimple Lie algebra, we show that, for a suitable conformal level k, \({W_k(\mathfrak{g}, \theta)}\) is isomorphic to an extension of \({\mathscr{V}_k(\mathfrak{g}^{\natural})}\) by its simple module. We are able to prove that in certain cases \({W_k(\mathfrak{g}, \theta)}\) is a simple current extension of \({\mathscr{V}_k(\mathfrak{g}^{\natural})}\). In order to analyze more complicated non simple current extensions at conformal levels, we present an explicit realization of the simple W-algebra \({W_{k}(\mathit{sl}(4), \theta)}\) at k = ?8/3. We prove, as conjectured in [3], that \({W_{k}(\mathit{sl}(4), \theta)}\) is isomorphic to the vertex algebra \({\mathscr{R}^{(3)}}\), and construct infinitely many singular vectors using screening operators. We also construct a new family of simple current modules for the vertex algebra \({V_k (\mathit{sl}(n))}\) at certain admissible levels and for \({V_k (\mathit{sl}(m \vert n)), m\ne n, m,n\geq 1}\) at arbitrary levels.
