Analyticity of solutions , of systems of real analytic equations , is studied. Sufficient conditions for and power series solutions to be real analytic are given in terms of iterative Jacobian ideals of the analytic ideal generated by . In a special case when the 's are independent of , we prove that if a solution satisfies the condition , then is necessarily real analytic.

Hypercomplex structures on four-dimensional Lie groups

The purpose of this paper is to classify invariant hypercomplex structures on a -dimensional real Lie group . It is shown that the -dimensional simply connected Lie groups which admit invariant hypercomplex structures are the additive group of the quaternions, the multiplicative group of nonzero quaternions, the solvable Lie groups acting simply transitively on the real and complex hyperbolic spaces, and , respectively, and the semidirect product . We show that the spaces and possess an of (inequivalent) invariant hypercomplex structures while the remaining groups have only one, up to equivalence. Finally, the corresponding hyperhermitian -manifolds are determined.

Moreover, we show that such a shift-invariant space provides -approximation order if and only if it contains all polynomials of degree less than .

Théorème de l'application spectrale pour le spectre essentiel quasi-Fredholm

In 1958, T. Kato proved that a closed semi-Fredholm operator in a Banach space can be written where is a nilpotent operator and is a regular one.

J. P. Labrousse studied and characterised this class of operators in the case of Hilbert spaces. He also defined a new spectrum named ``essential quasi-Fredholm spectrum' and denoted .

In this paper we prove that the essential quasi-Fredholm spectrum defined by J. P. Labrousse satisfies the mapping spectral theorem, i.e.: If is a bounded operator in a Hilbert space and an analytic function in a neighbourhood of the spectrum of , then .

RÉSUMÉ. En 1958, T. Kato a montré que si est un opérateur fermé dans un espace de Banach et semi-Fredholm, alors il existe tels que où est nilpotent et est régulier.

J. P. Labrousse a étudié et caractérisé cette classe d'opérateurs dans le cadre des espaces de Hilbert et a défini un nouveau spectre qu'on appelle ``spectre essentiel quasi-Fredholm' et noté par .

Dans ce travail nous allons démontrer que le spectre essentiel quasi-Fredholm défini par J. P. Labrousse vérifie le théorème de l'application spectrale, c'est à dire: Si est un opérateur bourné d'un espace de Hilbert dans lui même et une fonction analytique au voisinage du spectre de , alors .
