Determinants of classical SG‐pseudodifferential operators

We introduce a generalized trace functional TR in the spirit of Kontsevich and Vishik's canonical trace for classical SG‐pseudodifferential operators on and suitable manifolds, using a finite‐part integral regularization technique. This allows us to define a zeta‐regularized determinant for parameter‐elliptic operators , , . For , the asymptotics of as and of as are derived. For suitable pairs we show that coincides with the so‐called relative determinant .     

Bilinear decompositions for the product space

In this paper, we improve a recent result by Li and Peng on products of functions in and , where is a Schrödinger operator with V satisfying an appropriate reverse Hölder inequality. More precisely, we prove that such products may be written as the sum of two continuous bilinear operators, one from into , the other one from into , where the space is the set of distributions f whose grand maximal function satisfies

Uniqueness results for semilinear elliptic systems on

In this paper we establish uniqueness criteria for positive radially symmetric finite energy solutions of semilinear elliptic systems of the form As an application we consider the nonlinear Schrödinger system for and exponents q which satisfy in case and in case . Generalizing the results of Wei and Yao for we find new sufficient conditions and necessary conditions on such that precisely one positive solution exists. Our results dealing with the special case are optimal. Finally, an application to a multi‐component nonlinear Schrödinger system is given.

A refinement of the Hodge stratification for connected reductive groups

For connected reductive groups G over a finite extension F of and L the maximal unramified extension of F we study the sets of elements with given Hodge points . We explain the relationship to stratifications of some moduli scheme of abelian varieties defined by Goren and Oort respectively Andreatta and Goren. We show that for sufficiently large N the Newton point is constant on the sets and compute such N for certain classes of groups.     

Riesz minimal energy problems on ‐manifolds

In , , we study the constructive and numerical solution of minimizing the energy relative to the Riesz kernel , where , for the Gauss variational problem, considered for finitely many compact, mutually disjoint, boundaryless ‐dimensional ‐manifolds , , where , each being charged with Borel measures with the sign prescribed. We show that the Gauss variational problem over a convex set of Borel measures can alternatively be formulated as a minimum problem over the corresponding set of surface distributions belonging to the Sobolev–Slobodetski space , where and . An equivalent formulation leads in the case of two manifolds to a nonlinear system of boundary integral equations involving simple layer potential operators on Γ. A corresponding numerical method is based on the Galerkin–Bubnov discretization with piecewise constant boundary elements. Wavelet matrix compression is applied to sparsify the system matrix. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the approach.

Let and let be a ‐quasicontinuous representative of a mapping in the Triebel‐Lizorkin space . We find an optimal value of such that for a.e. the Hausdorff dimension of is at most α. We construct examples to show that the value of β is optimal and we show that it does not increase once p goes below the critical value α.     

Volume estimates for sections of certain convex bodies

This paper deals with volume estimates for hyperplane sections of the simplex and for m‐codimensional sections of powers of m‐dimensional Euclidean balls. In the first part we consider sections through the centroid of the n‐dimensional regular simplex. We state a volume formula and give a lower bound for the volume of sections through the centroid. In the second part we study the extremal volumes of m‐codimensional sections “perpendicular” to of unit balls in the space for all . We give volume formulas and use them to show that the normal vector (1, 0, …, 0) yields the minimal volume. Furthermore we give an upper bound for the ‐dimensional volumes for natural numbers . This bound is asymptotically attained for the normal vector as .     

On massive sets for subordinated random walks

We study massive (reccurent) sets with respect to a certain random walk defined on the integer lattice , . Our random walk is obtained from the simple random walk S on by the procedure of discrete subordination. can be regarded as a discrete space and time counterpart of the symmetric α‐stable Lévy process in . In the case we show that some remarkable proper subsets of , e.g. the set of primes, are massive whereas some proper subsets of such as the Leitmann primes are massive/non‐massive depending on the function h. Our results can be regarded as an extension of the results of McKean (1961) about massiveness of the set of primes for the simple random walk in . In the case we study massiveness of thorns and their proper subsets. The case is presented in the recent paper Bendikov and Cygan 2 .

Let be a Lebesgue‐almost everywhere positive function. We consider the Riemann‐Liouville operator of variable order defined by as an operator from to . Our first aim is to study its continuity properties. For example, we show that is always bounded (continuous) in provided that . Surprisingly, this becomes false for . In order to be bounded in L₁[0, 1], the function has to satisfy some additional assumptions. In the second, central part of this paper we investigate compactness properties of . We characterize functions for which is a compact operator and for certain classes of functions we provide order‐optimal bounds for the dyadic entropy numbers .

On convolution in weighted ‐spaces

A distributional generalization of Young's inequality was stated by L. Schwartz. It asserts that convolution yields a continuous bilinear map if A generalization to the weighted ‐spaces in the form was given by N. Ortner and the author in 1989. By means of interpolation theory, we improve this result with respect to the image space under certain restrictions on μ and ν. This implies limit relations in for the Poisson kernel and yields a solution of the Dirichlet problem for the half‐space with boundary values in the space By this we generalize a former result of J. Alvarez, M. Guzmán‐Partida and S. Pérez‐Esteva referring to the special case of      

Pre‐Hilbert spaces with anomalous splitting and orthogonally‐closed subspace structures

Four classes of closed subspaces of an inner product space S that can naturally replace the lattice of projections in a Hilbert space are: the complete/cocomplete subspaces , the splitting subspaces , the quasi‐splitting subspaces and the orthogonally‐closed subspaces . It is well‐known that in general the algebraic structure of these families differ remarkably and they coalesce if and only if S is a Hilbert space. It is also known that when S is a hyperplane in its completion i.e. then and . On the other extreme, when i.e. then and . Motivated by this and in contrast to it, we show that in general the codimension of S in bears very little relation to the properties of these families. In particular, we show that the equalities and can hold for inner product spaces with arbitrary codimension in . At the end we also contribute to the study of the algebraic structure of by testing it for the Riesz interpolation property. We show that may fail to enjoy the Riesz interpolation property in both extreme situations when S is “very small” (i.e. and when S is ‘very big’ (i.e. .
