Inversion formula for the windowed Fourier transform, II

In this paper, we study the approximation of the inversion of windowed Fourier transforms using Riemannian sums. We show that for certain window functions, the Riemannian sums are well defined on L ^p (?), 1?<?p?<?∞, and tend to the function to be reconstructed as the sampling density tends to infinity.     

p-Quasihyponormal operators have scalar extensions of order 6

In this paper we show that every p-quasihyponormal operator has a scalar extension of order 6, i.e., is similar to the restriction to a closed invariant subspace of a scalar operator of order 6, where 0<p<1. As a corollary, we get that every p-quasihyponormal operator with rich spectra has a nontrivial invariant subspace. Also we show that Aluthge transforms preserve an analogue of the single-valued extension property for W²(D,H) and an operator T.     

Martingale Transforms and Their Projection Operators on Manifolds

We prove the boundedness on L ^p , 1?<?p?<?∞, of operators on manifolds which arise by taking conditional expectation of transformations of stochastic integrals. These operators include various classical operators such as second order Riesz transforms and operators of Laplace transform-type.     

Martingale transforms and L p -norm estimates of Riesz transforms on complete Riemannian manifolds

Under the condition that the Bakry–Emery Ricci curvature is bounded from below, we prove a probabilistic representation formula of the Riesz transforms associated with a symmetric diffusion operator on a complete Riemannian manifold. Using the Burkholder sharp L ^p -inequality for martingale transforms, we obtain an explicit and dimension-free upper bound of the L ^p -norm of the Riesz transforms on such complete Riemannian manifolds for all 1 < p < ∞. In the Euclidean and the Gaussian cases, our upper bound is asymptotically sharp when p→ 1 and when p→ ∞.

Commutators of Riesz Transforms Related to?Schr?dinger Operators

In this work we obtain boundedness on L ^p , for 1<p<??, of commutators T _b f=bTf?T(bf) where T is any of the Riesz transforms or their conjugates associated to the Schr?dinger operator ???+V with V satisfying an appropriate reverse H?lder inequality. The class where b belongs is larger than the usual BMO. We also obtain a substitute result for p=??, under a slightly stronger condition on?b.     

Marcinkiewicz-summability of multi-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series

A generalization of Marcinkiewicz-summability of multi-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series is investigated with the help of a continuous function θ. Under some weak conditions on θ we show that the maximal operator of the Marcinkiewicz-θ-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from Hp(Xd) to Lp(Xd) for all d/(d+α)<p?∞ and, consequently, is of weak type (1,1), where 0<α?1 is depending only on θ and X=R or X=T. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of a summability result due to Marcinkiewicz and Zhizhiashvili for d-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series, more exactly, the Marcinkiewicz-θ-means of a function f∈L₁(Xd) converge a.e. to f. Moreover, we prove that the Marcinkiewicz-θ-means are uniformly bounded on the spaces Hp(Xd) and so they converge in norm (d/(d+α)<p<∞). Similar results are shown for conjugate functions. Some special cases of the Marcinkiewicz-θ-summation are considered, such as the Fejér, Cesàro, Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, de La Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski and Riesz summations.     

Poisson integrals and Riesz transforms for Hermite function expansions with weights

We consider expansions with respect to the multi-dimensional Hermite functions which are eigenfunctions of the harmonic oscillator L=−Δ+|x|². For the heat-diffusion and Poisson semigroups corresponding to a self-adjoint extension of L we investigate their boundary behaviour and mapping properties. All this is done for functions from L^p(w), 1?p<∞, w∈A_p. Then Riesz transforms and conjugate Poisson integrals are considered. The Riesz transforms occur to be Calderón-Zygmund operators hence their mapping properties follow by using results from a general theory.     

Weighted Oscillation and Variation Inequalities for Singular Integrals and Commutators Satisfying Hrmander Type Conditions

This paper is devoted to investigating the weighted L~p-mapping properties of oscillation and variation operators related to the families of singular integrals and their commutators in higher dimension. We establish the weighted type(p, p) estimates for 1 p ∞ and the weighted weak type(1,1) estimate for the oscillation and variation operators of singular integrals with kernels satisfying certain Hormander type conditions, which contain the Riesz transforms, singular integrals with more general homogeneous kernels satisfying the Lipschitz conditions and the classical Dini's conditions as model examples. Meanwhile, we also obtain the weighted L~p-boundeness for such operators associated to the family of commutators generated by the singular integrals above with BMO(R~d)-functions.     

Diffusion occupation time before exiting

Using the approach of D. Landriault et al. and B. Li and X. Zhou, for a one-dimensional time-homogeneous diffusion process X and constants c 〈 a 〈 b 〈 d, we find expressions of double Laplace transforms of the form Ex[e--θTd--λ∫o Td1a 〈Xs〈b ds; Td 〈 Tc], where Tx denotes the first passage time of level x. As applications, we find explicit Laplace transforms of the corresponding occupation time and occupation density for the Brownian motion with two-valued drift and that of occupation time for the skew Ornstein- Uhlenbeck process, respectively. Some known results are also recovered.     

Triangular summability of two-dimensional Fourier transforms

We consider the triangular summability of two-dimensional Fourier transforms, and show that the maximal operator of the triangular-??-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from H _p (?²) to L _p (?²) for all 2/(2 + ??) < p ?? ??; consequently, it is of weak type (1,1), where 0 < ?? ?? 1 is depending only on ??. As a consequence, we obtain that the triangular-??-means of a function f ?? L ₁(?²) converge to f a.e. Norm convergence is also considered, and similar results are shown for the conjugate functions. Some special cases of the triangular-??-summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Fejér, de la Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski, and Riesz summations.     

Convolution on L p -spaces of a locally compact group

We have recently shown that, for 2 < p < ∞, a locally compact group G is compact if and only if the convolution multiplication f * g exists for all f, g ∈ L ^p (G). Here, we study the existence of f * g for all f, g ∈ L ^p (G) in the case where 0 < p ≤ 2. Also, for 0 < p < ∞, we offer some necessary and sufficient conditions for L ^p (G) * L ^p (G) to be contained in certain function spaces on G.     

Compactness of composition operators on a Hilbert space of Dirichlet series

In this paper new L_α^p→L_β^q estimates are proved for translation-invariant Radon transforms along curves for α?β and p<q. For a fixed α and β, if p is sufficiently close to 2 the best possible q is obtained, up to ε. The method is related to that of [5].     

On the spectral representation of symmetric stable processes

The so-called spectral representation theorem for stable processes linearly imbeds each symmetric stable process of index p into L^p (0 < p ≤ 2). We use the theory of L^p isometries for 0 < p < 2 to study the uniqueness of this representation for the non-Gaussian stable processes. We also determine the form of this representation for stationary processes and for substable processes. Complex stable processes are defined, and a complex version of the spectral representation theorem is proved. As a corollary to the complex theory we exhibit an imbedding of complex L^q into real or complex L^p for 0 < p < q ≤ 2.     

Bases of exponentials in weighted spaces generated by zeros of functions of sine type

If ω is an A _p -weight with some additional condition and (λ) is a separated sequence of all zeros of a sine-type function possessing a certain multiplier (in the sense of Fourier transforms) property, then the corresponding system of exponentials $(e^{i\lambda _n t} )$ constitutes a basis in the weighted space L ^p ((?π, π), ω(t)dt), 1 < π < ∞.     

Sobolev embeddings, extensions and measure density condition

There are two main results in the paper. In the first one, Theorem 1, we prove that if the Sobolev embedding theorem holds in Ω, in any of all the possible cases, then Ω satisfies the measure density condition. The second main result, Theorem 5, provides several characterizations of the Wm,p-extension domains for 1<p<∞. As a corollary we prove that the property of being a W1,p-extension domain, 1<p?∞, is invariant under bi-Lipschitz mappings, Theorem 8.     

Metrics and smoothing of translation-invariant Radon transforms along curves

In this paper new L_α^p→L_β^q estimates are proved for translation-invariant Radon transforms along curves for α?β and p<q. For a fixed α and β, if p is sufficiently close to 2 the best possible q is obtained, up to ε. The method is related to that of Greenblatt (Ph.D. Thesis, Princeton University, 1998).     

La fonction maximale de Hardy–Littlewood sur une classe d'espaces métriques mesurables

In this Note, we study the behavior of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function M on cusp manifolds in terms of the growth of the volume of the base space. In particular, we prove that for all 1<p₀<+∞ fixed, there exists such a manifold on which M is bounded on L^p for p>p₀ but not for 1?p<p₀. To cite this article: H.-Q. Li, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Path continuity of fractional Dirichlet functionals

We prove that the quasi continuous version of a functional in E^p_r is continuous along the sample paths of the Dirichlet process provided that p>2, 0<r?1 and pr>2, without assuming the Meyer equivalence. Parallel results for multi-parameter processes are also obtained. Moreover, for 1<p<2, we prove that a n parameter Dirichlet process does not touch a set of (p,2n)-zero capacity. As an example, we also study the quasi-everywhere existence of the local times of martingales on path space.     

Some critical minimization problems for functions of bounded variations

Using a new elementary method, we prove the existence of minimizers for various critical problems in BV(Ω) and also in W1,p(Ω), 1<p<∞.     

On an oppenheim-type conjecture for systems of quadratic forms

In this paper we establish dimension freeL ^p (ℝ ⁿ ,|x|^α) norm inequalities (1<p<∞) for the oscillation and variation of the Riesz transforms in ℝ ⁿ . In doing so we findA _p -weighted norm inequalities for the oscillation and the variation of the Hilbert transform in ℝ. Some weighted transference results are also proved.
