Theory of multiple j-elementary matrix-valued functions with a pole at the boundary of the unit circle

The theory of a matrix-valued function (), j-elementary in the unit circle and having a pole at the point ₀, ¦₀¦=1, on the boundary of the unit circle, is considered. The structure of () is determined, conditions for the splittingoff of () from an arbitrary matrix-valued function W(), j-expanding in ¦|< 1, are formed, a theorem on the parametrization of a j-elementary matrix-valued function () of full rank is proved, and a decomposition of () of full rank into the product of parametrized j-elementary factors of full rank with simple poles at the point ₀ is found.Translated from Teoriya Funktsii, Funktsional'nyi Analiz i Ikh Prilozheniya, No. 50, pp. 62–74, 1988.

Sur la répartition des valeurs de la fonction d'Euler

Let (x) denote the number of those integers n with (n) x, where denotes the Euler function. Improving on a well-known estimate of Bateman (1972), we show that (x)-Ax R(x), where A=(2)(3)/(6) and R(x) is essentially of the size of the best available estimate for the remainder term in the prime number theorem.     

Approximation of functions,which are analytic in a simply connected domain and can be represented by a Cauchy type integral,by sequences of rational fractions with poles prescribed by an array

Let G and {_kj} be the domain and the array mentioned in the title (the boundary of the domain is assumed to be rectifiable). One describes a general scheme for the approximation of fonctionsf in the domain G, representable in the form f(z)=(2i)^–1g()(–z)^–1d, where g L_z (G), by a sequence of rational fractions. The characteristic feature of this scheme is the fact that the poles _k of the fraction lie in the k-th row of the array {_kj}. There is given a condition on {_kj}, necessary and sufficient in order that each functionf, of the kind described above, should admit a uniform approximation inside G with the aid of the indicated scheme. In the case when this condition is not satisfied and \G.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

Extremes of a Gaussian Process and the Constant H α

Consider a triangular array of standard Gaussian random variables {_n,i, i 0, n 1} such that {_n,i, i 0} is a stationary normal sequence for each n 1. Let _n,k = corr(_n,i,_n,i+k). If (1-_n,k)log n _k (0,) as n for some k, then the locations where the extreme values occur cluster and the limiting distribution of the maxima is still the Gumbel distribution as in the stationary or i.i.d. case, but shifted by a parameter measuring the clustering. Triangular arrays of Gaussian sequences are used to approximate a continuous Gaussian process X(t), t 0. The cluster behavior of the random sequence refers to the behavior of the extremes values of the continuous process. The relation is analyzed. It reveals a new definition of the constants H used for the limiting distribution of maxima of continuous Gaussian processes and provides further understanding of the limit result for these extremes.     

Inequalities for the distribution of a sum of functions of independent random variables

Let where ₁,..., n are independent random variables and the are functions (e.g., taking the values 0 and 1). For cases when almost all the summands forming are equal to 0 with a probability close to 1, estimates from above and below are obtained for the quantity P{=0}, as well as upper estimates for the distance in variation between the distribution , and the distribution of the approximating sum of independent random variables.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 745–758, November, 1977.The author is grateful to V.

Familien komplexer räume zu gegebenen infinitesimalen deformationen

Let M be a domain in the complex plane, :XM a flat family of reduced complex spaces, (X_o, _o) the fibre over a point OM, and x_o the sheaf of (1,O)-forms over X_o. The family defines an element (Ext¹ (_Xo, _o))_x for every point xX. We prove: If (X_o, _o) is a normal complex space, x a point in X_o such that (Ext² (_Xo, _o))_x=O, then for each infinitesimal deformation (Ext¹ (_Xo, _o))_x there exists a flat reduced family with =. This statement is analogous to a result of KODAIRA-NIRENBERG-SPENCER in the theory of deformations of compact complex manifolds.     

Oscillating processes with independent increments and nondegenerate Wiener component

For an oscillating process _z(t) (_z(0)=2,t0), which is defined with the help of two homogeneous processes ₁(t) and ₂(t) with independent increments and nondegemerate Wiener components, under certain restrictions we establish a relation of the form and find the characteristic function of the ergodic distribution of the process considered.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 10, pp. 1415–1421, October, 1990.     

Two-plane sub-bundles of nonorientable real vector-bundles

Let be a nonorientable m-plane bundle over a CW complex X of dimension m or less. Given a 2-plane bundle over X, we wish to know whether can be embedded as a sub-bundle of . The bundle need not be orientable. When is even-dimensional there is the added complication of twisted coefficients. In that case, we use Postnikov decomposition of certain nonsimple fibrations in order to describe the obstructions for the embedding problem. Emery Thomas [11] and [12] treated this problem for and both orientable. The results found here are applied to the tangent bundle of a closed, connected, nonorientable smooth manifold, as a special case.The writing of this paper was partially supported by CNPq grant     

On two mean value properties and functional equations associated with them

Summary Motivated by different mean value properties, the functional equationsf(x) – f(y)/x–y=[(x, y)], (i)xf(y) – yf(x)/x–y=[(x, y)] (ii) (x y) are completely solved when, are arithmetic, geometric or harmonic means andx, y elements of proper real intervals. In view of a duality between (i) and (ii), three of the results are consequences of other three.The equation (ii) is also solved when is a (strictly monotonic) quasiarithmetic mean while the real interval contains 0 and when is the arithmetic mean while the domain is a field of characteristic different from 2 and 3. (A result similar to the latter has been proved previously for (i).)     

Convolution semigroups and central limit theorem associated with a dual convolution structure

We consider hypergroups associated with Jacobi functions ⁽⁾ (x), (–1/2). We prove the existence of a dual convolution structure on [0,+[i(]0,s ₀]{{) =++1,s ₀=min(,–+1). Next we establish a Lévy-Khintchine type formula which permits to characterize the semigroup and the infinitely divisible probabilities associated with this dual convolution, finally we prove a central limit theorem.

On the structure of stationary flat processes. II

Summary The present paper continues the work by Davidson, Krickeberg, Papangelou, and the author on proving, under weakest possible assumptions, that a stationary random measure or a simple point process on the space of k-flats in R ^d is a.s. invariant or a Cox process respectively. The problems for and are related by the fact that is Cox whenever the Papangelou conditional intensity measure of (a thinning of) is a.s. invariant. In particular, is shown to be a.s. invariant, whenever it is absolutely continuous with respect to some fixed measure and has no (so called) outer degeneracies. When k=d–22, no absolute continuity is needed, provided that the first moments exist and that has no inner degeneracies either. Under a certain regularity condition on , it is further shown that and are simultaneously non-degenerate in either sense.

Arithmetic of Rikuna’s generic cyclic polynomial and generalization of Kummer theory

In this paper we study the arithmetic of the Rikunas generic polynomial for the cyclic group of order n and obtain a generalized Kummer theory. It is useful under the condition that and k where is a primitive n-th root of unity and =+^–1. In particular, this result with k implies the classical Kummer theory.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 11R20, 12E10, 12G05

Let D _* be a free-based finitely generated chain complex over ^– . Assume that D _ii=0 for i1 and in–1 and that D _* has the same simple homotopy type as the Novikov-completed simplicial chain complex of the universal covering M. Let N be an integer. We prove that D _* can be realized, up to the terms of ^– of degree N as the Novikov complex of a Morse map : M S ¹, belonging to . Applications to Arnold's conjectures and to the theory of fibering of M over S ¹ are given.

Remarks on ergodicity of stationary irreducible transient Markov chains

Summary Consider a stationary process {X _n(), – < n < . If the measure of the process is finite (the measure of the whole sample space finite), it is well known that ergodicity of the process {X _n(), - < n < and of each of the subprocesses {X _n(), 0 n < , {X _n(), – < n 0 are equivalent (see [3]). We shall show that this is generally not true for stationary processes with a sigma-finite measure, specifically for stationary irreducible transient Markov chains. An example of a stationary irreducible transient Markov chain {X _n(), - < n <} with {itX_n(), 0 n < < ergodic but {X _n(), < n 0 nonergodic is given. That this can be the case has already been implicitly indicated in the literature [4]. Another example of a stationary irreducible transient Markov chain with both {X _n(), 0 n < and {itX _n(),-< < n 0} ergodic but {X _n(), - < n < nonergodic is presented. In fact, it is shown that all stationary irreducible transient Markov chains {X _n(), - < n < < are nonergodic.This research was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research.John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow.
