A Beurling-Blecher-Labuschagne Theorem for Noncommutative Hardy Spaces Associated with Semifinite von Neumann Algebras

We prove a Beurling-Blecher-Labuschagne theorem for \({H^\infty}\)-invariant spaces of \({L^p(\mathcal{M},\tau)}\) when \({0 < p \leq\infty}\), using Arveson’s non-commutative Hardy space \({H^\infty}\) in relation to a von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal{M}}\) with a semifinite, faithful, normal tracial weight \({\tau}\). Using the main result, we are able to completely characterize all \({H^\infty}\)-invariant subspaces of \({L^p(\mathcal{M} \rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{Z},\tau)}\), where \({\mathcal{M} \rtimes_\alpha \mathbb{Z} }\) is a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal{M}}\) by the integer group \({\mathbb{Z}}\), and \({H^\infty}\) is a non-selfadjoint crossed product of \({\mathcal{M}}\) by \({\mathbb{Z}^+}\). As an example, we characterize all \({H^\infty}\)-invariant subspaces of the Schatten p-class \({S^p(\mathcal{H})}\), where \({H^\infty}\) is the lower triangular subalgebra of \({B(\mathcal{H})}\), for each \({0 < p \leq\infty}\).     

Gauge functions,Eikonal equations and Bôcher’s theorem on stratified Lie groups

Let \({\mathcal{L} = \sum_{i=1}^m X_i^2}\) be a real sub-Laplacian on a Carnot group \({\mathbb{G}}\) and denote by \({\nabla_\mathcal{L} = (X_1,\ldots,X_m)}\) the intrinsic gradient related to \({\mathcal{L}}\). Our aim in this present paper is to analyze some features of the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-gauge functions on \({\mathbb{G}}\), i.e., the homogeneous functions d such that \({\mathcal{L}(d^\gamma) = 0}\) in \({\mathbb{G} \setminus \{0\}}\) , for some \({\gamma \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}}\). We consider the relation of \({\mathcal{L}}\)-gauge functions with: the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-Eikonal equation \({|\nabla_\mathcal{L} u| = 1}\) in \({\mathbb{G}}\); the Mean Value Formulas for the \({\mathcal{L}}\)-harmonic functions; the fundamental solution for \({\mathcal{L}}\); the Bôcher-type theorems for nonnegative \({\mathcal{L}}\)-harmonic functions in “punctured” open sets \({\dot \Omega:= \Omega \setminus \{x_0\}}\).     

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 \({\mathcal{M}\ominus w\mathcal{M}}\) .     

Weyl Type Asymptotics and Bounds for the Eigenvalues of Functional-Difference Operators for Mirror Curves

We investigate Weyl type asymptotics of functional-difference operators associated to mirror curves of special del Pezzo Calabi-Yau threefolds. These operators are \({H(\zeta) = U + U^{-1} + V + \zeta V^{-1}}\) and \({H_{m,n} = U + V + q^{-mn}U^{-m}V^{-n}}\), where \({U}\) and \({V}\) are self-adjoint Weyl operators satisfying \({UV = q^{2}VU}\) with \({q = {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi b^{2}}}\), \({b > 0}\) and \({\zeta > 0}\), \({m, n \in \mathbb{N}}\). We prove that \({H(\zeta)}\) and \({H_{m,n}}\) are self-adjoint operators with purely discrete spectrum on \({L^{2}(\mathbb{R})}\). Using the coherent state transform we find the asymptotical behaviour for the Riesz mean \({\sum_{j\ge 1}(\lambda - \lambda_{j})_{+}}\) as \({\lambda \to \infty}\) and prove the Weyl law for the eigenvalue counting function \({N(\lambda)}\) for these operators, which imply that their inverses are of trace class.     

Dirac–Krein Systems on Star Graphs

Suppose that \({\mathcal {M}}\) is a countably decomposable type II\({_1}\) von Neumann algebra and \({\mathcal {A}}\) is a separable, non-nuclear, unital C\({^*}\)-algebra. We show that, if \({\mathcal {M}}\) has Property \({\Gamma}\), then the similarity degree of \({\mathcal {M}}\) is less than or equal to 5. If \({\mathcal {A}}\) has Property c\({^*}\)-\({\Gamma}\), then the similarity degree of \({\mathcal {A}}\) is equal to 3. In particular, the similarity degree of a \({\mathcal {Z}}\)-stable, separable, non-nuclear, unital C\({^*}\)-algebra is equal to 3.     

Asymptotics for Erdős–Solovej Zero Modes in Strong Fields

We consider the strong field asymptotics for the occurrence of zero modes of certain Weyl–Dirac operators on \({\mathbb{R}^3}\). In particular, we are interested in those operators \({\mathcal{D}_B}\) for which the associated magnetic field \({B}\) is given by pulling back a two-form \({\beta}\) from the sphere \({\mathbb{S}^2}\) to \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) using a combination of the Hopf fibration and inverse stereographic projection. If \({\int_{\mathbb{s}^2} \beta \neq 0}\), we show that

$$\sum_{0 \leq t \leq T} {\rm dim Ker} \mathcal{D}{tB}=\frac{T^2}{8\pi^2}\,\Big| \int_{\mathbb{S}^2}\beta\Big|\,\int_{\mathbb{S}^2}|{\beta}| +o(T^2)$$

as \({T\to+\infty}\). The result relies on Erd?s and Solovej’s characterisation of the spectrum of \({\mathcal{D}_{tB}}\) in terms of a family of Dirac operators on \({\mathbb{S}^2}\), together with information about the strong field localisation of the Aharonov–Casher zero modes of the latter.

     

Some remarks on energy inequalities for harmonic maps with potential

We call the \({\delta}\)-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension d flat if the \({\delta}\)-vector is of the form \({(1,0,\ldots,0,a,\ldots,a,0,\ldots,0)}\), where \({a \geq 1}\). In this paper, we give the complete characterization of possible flat \({\delta}\)-vectors. Moreover, for an integral convex polytope \({\mathcal{P}\subset \mathbb{R}^N}\) of dimension d, we let \({i(\mathcal{P},n)=|n\mathcal{P}\cap \mathbb{Z}^N|}\) and \({i^*(\mathcal{P},n)=|n(\mathcal{P} {\setminus}\partial \mathcal{P})\cap \mathbb{Z}^N|}\). By this characterization, we show that for any \({d \geq 1}\) and for any \({k,\ell \geq 0}\) with \({k+\ell \leq d-1}\), there exist integral convex polytopes \({\mathcal{P}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q}}\) of dimension d such that (i) For \({t=1,\ldots,k}\), we have \({i(\mathcal{P},t)=i(\mathcal{Q},t),}\) (ii) For \({t=1,\ldots,\ell}\), we have \({i^*(\mathcal{P},t)=i^*(\mathcal{Q},t)}\), and (iii) \({i(\mathcal{P},k+1) \neq i(\mathcal{Q},k+1)}\) and \({i^*(\mathcal{P},\ell+1)\neq i^*(\mathcal{Q},\ell+1)}\).     

Hecke algebras for {{\rm GL}_n} over local fields

We study the local Hecke algebra \({\mathcal{H}_{G}(K)}\) for \({G = {\rm GL}_{n}}\) and K a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. We show that for \({G = {\rm GL}_{2}}\) and any two such fields K and L, there is a Morita equivalence \({\mathcal{H}_{G}(K) \sim_{M} \mathcal{H}_{G}(L)}\), by using the Bernstein decomposition of the Hecke algebra and determining the intertwining algebras that yield the Bernstein blocks up to Morita equivalence. By contrast, we prove that for \({G = {\rm GL}_{n}}\), there is an algebra isomorphism \({\mathcal{H}_{G}(K) \cong \mathcal{H}_{G}(L)}\) which is an isometry for the induced \({L^1}\)-norm if and only if there is a field isomorphism \({K \cong L}\).     

Complex homomorphisms on self-conjugate algebras of functions

Let X be a non-void set and A be a subalgebra of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . We call a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional \({\varphi}\) on A a 1-evaluation if \({\varphi(f) \in f(X) }\) for all \({f\in A}\) . From the classical Gleason–Kahane–?elazko theorem, it follows that if X in addition is a compact Hausdorff space then a mapping \({\varphi}\) of \({C_{\mathbb{C}}(X) }\) into \({\mathbb{C}}\) is a 1-evaluation if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism. In this paper, we aim to investigate the extent to which this equivalence between 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms can be generalized to a wider class of self-conjugate subalgebras of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . In this regards, we prove that a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional on a self-conjugate subalgebra A of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) is a positive \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\overline{1}}\) -evaluation, that is, \({\varphi(f) \in\overline{f\left(X\right)}}\) for all \({f\in A}\) . As consequences of our general study, we prove that 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms on \({C_{\mathbb{C}}\left( X\right)}\) coincide for any topological space X and we get a new characterization of realcompact topological spaces.     

Partially isometric immersions and free maps

In this paper we investigate the existence of “partially” isometric immersions. These are maps \({f:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^q}\) which, for a given Riemannian manifold M, are isometries on some sub-bundle \({\mathcal{H}\subset TM}\). The concept of free maps, which is essential in the Nash–Gromov theory of isometric immersions, is replaced here by that of \({\mathcal{H}}\) –free maps, i.e. maps whose restriction to \({\mathcal{H}}\) is free. We prove, under suitable conditions on the dimension q of the Euclidean space, that \({\mathcal{H}}\) –free maps are generic and we provide, for the smallest possible value of q, explicit expressions for \({\mathcal{H}}\) –free maps in the following three settings: 1–dimensional distributions in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\), Lagrangian distributions of completely integrable systems, Hamiltonian distributions of a particular kind of Poisson Bracket.     

Integer Decomposition Property of Free Sums of Convex Polytopes

Let \({\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q} \subset \mathbb{R}^{e}}\) be integral convex polytopes of dimension d and e which contain the origin of \({\mathbb{R}^{d}}\) and \({\mathbb{R}^{e}}\), respectively. We say that an integral convex polytope \({\mathcal{P}\subset \mathbb{R}^{d}}\) possesses the integer decomposition property if, for each \({n\geq1}\) and for each \({\gamma \in n\mathcal{P}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{d}}\), there exist \({\gamma^{(1)}, . . . , \gamma^{(n)}}\) belonging to \({\mathcal{P}\cap\mathbb{Z}^{d}}\) such that \({\gamma = \gamma^{(1)} +. . .+\gamma^{(n)}}\). In the present paper, under some assumptions, the necessary and sufficient condition for the free sum of \({\mathcal{P}}\) and \({\mathcal{Q}}\) to possess the integer decomposition property will be presented.     

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.     

Rectifiability of harmonic measure

In the present paper we prove that for any open connected set \({\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}\), \({n\geq 1}\), and any \({E\subset \partial \Omega}\) with \({\mathcal{H}^n(E)<\infty}\), absolute continuity of the harmonic measure \({\omega}\) with respect to the Hausdorff measure on E implies that \({\omega|_E}\) is rectifiable. This solves an open problem on harmonic measure which turns out to be an old conjecture even in the planar case \({n=1}\).     

On the Convergence to Equilibrium of Unbounded Observables Under a Family of Intermittent Interval Maps

We consider a family \({\{T_{r}: [0, 1] \circlearrowleft \}_{r\in[0, 1]}}\) of Markov interval maps interpolating between the tent map \({T_{0}}\) and the Farey map \({T_{1}}\). Letting \({\mathcal{P}_{r}}\) denote the Perron–Frobenius operator of \({T_{r}}\), we show, for \({\beta \in [0, 1]}\) and \({\alpha \in (0, 1)}\), that the asymptotic behaviour of the iterates of \({\mathcal{P}_{r}}\) applied to observables with a singularity at \({\beta}\) of order \({\alpha}\) is dependent on the structure of the \({\omega}\)-limit set of \({\beta}\) with respect to \({T_{r}}\). The results presented here are some of the first to deal with convergence to equilibrium of observables with singularities.     

Locally algebraic vectors in the Breuil–Herzig ordinary part

For a fairly general reductive group \({G_{/\mathbb{Q}_p}}\), we explicitly compute the space of locally algebraic vectors in the Breuil–Herzig construction \({\Pi(\rho)^{ord}}\), for a potentially semistable Borel-valued representation \({\rho}\) of \({Gal(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_p/\mathbb{Q}_p)}\). The point being we deal with the whole representation, not just its socle—and we go beyond \({GL_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)}\). In the case of \({GL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)}\), this relation is one of the key properties of the \({p}\)-adic local Langlands correspondence. We give an application to \({p}\)-adic local-global compatibility for \({\Pi(\rho)^{ord}}\) for modular representations, but with no indecomposability assumptions.     

The Eight Cayley–Dickson Doubling Products

The purpose of this paper is to identify all eight of the basic Cayley–Dickson doubling products. A Cayley–Dickson algebra \({\mathbb{A}_{N+1}}\) of dimension \({2^{N+1}}\) consists of all ordered pairs of elements of a Cayley–Dickson algebra \({\mathbb{A}_{N}}\) of dimension \({2^N}\) where the product \({(a, b)(c, d)}\) of elements of \({\mathbb{A}_{N+1}}\) is defined in terms of a pair of second degree binomials \({(f(a, b, c, d), g(a, b, c,d))}\) satisfying certain properties. The polynomial pair\({(f, g)}\) is called a ‘doubling product.’ While \({\mathbb{A}_{0}}\) may denote any ring, here it is taken to be the set \({\mathbb{R}}\) of real numbers. The binomials \({f}\) and \({g}\) should be devised such that \({\mathbb{A}_{1} = \mathbb{C}}\) the complex numbers, \({\mathbb{A}_{2} = \mathbb{H}}\) the quaternions, and \({\mathbb{A}_{3} = \mathbb{O}}\) the octonions. Historically, various researchers have used different yet equivalent doubling products.     

The Katchalski–Lewis transversal problem for regular polygons

If every k-membered subfamily of a family of plane convex bodies has a line transversal, then we say that this family has property T(k). We say that a family \({\mathcal{F}}\) has property \({T-m}\), if there exists a subfamily \({\mathcal{G} \subset \mathcal{F}}\) with \({|\mathcal{F} - \mathcal{G}| \le m}\) admitting a line transversal. Heppes [7] posed the problem whether there exists a convex body K in the plane such that if \({\mathcal{F}}\) is a finite T(3)-family of disjoint translates of K, then m = 3 is the smallest value for which \({\mathcal{F}}\) has property \({T-m}\). In this paper, we study this open problem in terms of finite T(3)-families of pairwise disjoint translates of a regular 2n-gon \({(n \ge 5)}\). We find out that, for \({5 \le n \le 34}\), the family has property \({T - 3}\) ; for \({n \ge 35}\), the family has property \({T - 2}\).     

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.
