Semilattice indecomposable finite semigroups with large subsemilattices

We show that if Y is a subsemilattice of a finite semilattice indecomposable semigroup S then \({|Y|\leq 2\left\lfloor \frac{|S|-1}{4}\right\rfloor+1}\). We also characterize finite semilattice indecomposable semigroups S which contain a subsemilattice Y with \({|S|=4k+1}\) and \({|Y|=2\left\lfloor \frac{|S|-1}{4} \right\rfloor+1=2k+1}\). They are special inverse semigroups. Our investigation is based on our new result proved in this paper which characterizes finite semilattice indecomposable semigroups with a zero by using only the properties of its semigroup algebra.     

Bounded indecomposable semigroups of non-negative matrices

A semigroup \({\mathfrak{S}}\) of non-negative n × n matrices is indecomposable if for every pair i, j ≤ n there exists \({S\in\mathfrak{S}}\) such that (S) _ij ≠ 0. We show that if there is a pair k, l such that \({\{(S)_{kl} : S\in\mathfrak{S}\}}\) is bounded then, after a simultaneous diagonal similarity, all the entries are in [0, 1]. We also provide quantitative versions of this result, as well as extensions to infinite-dimensional cases.     

Ordinal indices of Small Subspaces of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

We calculate the ordinal L _p index defined in [3] for Rosenthal’s space X _p , \({\ell_p}\) and \({\ell_2}\). We show that an infinite-dimensional subspace of L _p \({(2 < p < \infty)}\) non-isomorphic to \({\ell_2}\) embeds in \({\ell_p}\) if and only if its ordinal index is the minimal possible. We also give a sufficient condition for a \({\mathcal{L}_p}\) subspace of \({\ell_p \oplus \ell_2}\) to be isomorphic to X _p .     

Rational approximation to surfaces defined by polynomials in one variable

For a Tychonoff space X, we denote by C _p (X) the space of all real-valued continuous functions on X with the topology of pointwise convergence.

In this paper we prove that:

• If every finite power of X is Lindelöf then C _p (X) is strongly sequentially separable iff X is \({\gamma}\)-set.
• \({B_{\alpha}(X)}\) (= functions of Baire class \({\alpha}\) (\({1 < \alpha \leq \omega_1}\)) on a Tychonoff space X with the pointwise topology) is sequentially separable iff there exists a Baire isomorphism class \({\alpha}\) from a space X onto a \({\sigma}\)-set.
• \({B_{\alpha}(X)}\) is strongly sequentially separable iff \({iw(X)=\aleph_0}\) and X is a \({Z^{\alpha}}\)-cover \({\gamma}\)-set for \({0 < \alpha \leq \omega_1}\).
• There is a consistent example of a set of reals X such that C _p (X) is strongly sequentially separable but B₁(X) is not strongly sequentially separable.
• B(X) is sequentially separable but is not strongly sequentially separable for a \({\mathfrak{b}}\)-Sierpiński set X.

     

Generating sublocales by subsets and relations: a tangle of adjunctions

Generalizing the obvious representation of a subspace \({Y \subseteq X}\) as a sublocale in Ω(X) by the congruence \({\{(U, V ) | U\cap Y = V \cap Y\}}\), one obtains the congruence \({\{(a, b) |\mathfrak{o}(a) \cap S = \mathfrak{o}(b) \cap S\}}\), first with sublocales S of a frame L, which (as it is well known) produces back the sublocale S itself, and then with general subsets \({S\subseteq L}\). The relation of such S with the sublocale produced is studied (the result is not always the sublocale generated by S). Further, we discuss in general the associated adjunctions, in particular that between relations on L and subsets of L and view the aforementioned phenomena in this perspective.     

Removability of isolated singularities for anisotropic elliptic equations with gradient absorption

We study the well-posedness of the third-order degenerate differential equation \(\left( {{P_3}} \right):\alpha {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime \prime }}\left( t \right) + {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime }}\left( t \right) = \beta Au\left( t \right) + f\left( t \right)\), (t ∈ [0, 2p]) with periodic boundary conditions \(Mu\left( 0 \right) = Mu\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu'\left( 0 \right) = Mu'\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu''\left( 0 \right) = Mu''\left( {2\pi } \right)\), in periodic Lebesgue–Bochner spaces L^p(T,X), periodic Besov spaces B_p,q^s(T,X) and periodic Triebel–Lizorkin spaces F_p,q^s(T,X), where A, B and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A) \( \cap \)D(B) ? D(M) and α, β, γ ∈ R. Using known operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems, we completely characterize the well-posedness of (P₃) in the above three function spaces.     

Hochschild Cohomology of Deformation Quantizations over ℤ/<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>ℤ

Let A ₁ be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth affine symplectic variety X over Spec F _p , where p is an odd prime. Let A be a deformation quantization of A ₁ over the p-adic integers. In this note we show that for all n ≥ 1, the Hochschild cohomology of A/p ⁿ A is isomorphic to the de Rham-Witt complex \(W_{n}{\Omega }^{\ast }_{X}\) of X over \(\mathbb {Z}/p^{n}\mathbb {Z}\). We also compute the center of deformations of certain affine Poisson varieties over F _p .     

Schatten-Herz Operators,Berezin Transform and Mixed Norm Spaces

For p, q > 0 we study operators T on the Bergman space \({A_{2}(\mathbb{D)}}\) in the disk such that \({\left(\sum_{j}\Vert T\Delta_{j}\Vert_{p}^{q}\right)^{1/q}<\infty,}\) where the norms \({\Vert\cdot\Vert_{p}}\) are in the Schatten class S _p (A ₂), the projection \({\Delta_{j}f=\sum_{n\in I_{j}}a_{n}z^{n}}\) for \({f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}z^{n}}\) and \({I_{j}=[2^{j}-1,2^{j+1} )\cap(\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\})}\) for \({j\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}.}\) We consider the relation of this property with mixed norms of the Berezin transform of T and of the related function \({f_{T}(z)={\Vert}T(k_{z})\Vert}\) where k _z is the normalized Bergman kernel. These classes of operators denoted by S(p, q) are closely related when assumed to be positive with other sets of operators, like the class of positive operators on A ₂ for which \({\left(\sum_{j\geq0}(\sum_{n\in I_{j}}|\left\langle T^pe_{n},e_{n}\right\rangle |)^{q/p}\right)^{1/q}<\infty}\) , where \({\{e_{n}\}_{n\geq0}}\) is the canonical basis of A ₂; also we study the relation of Toeplitz operators in S(p, q) with the Schatten-Herz classes, where the decomposition is through dyadic annuli of the domain \({\mathbb{D}}\) .     

Numerical ranges for pairs of operators,duality mappings with gauge function,and spectra of nonlinear operators

We define and study numerical ranges for pairs of nonlinear operators F and J which act between some Banach space X and its dual X*, with respect to some increasing gauge function φ. Connections with spectra for certain classes of nonlinear operators introduced recently in the literature are also established. As a sample example, we consider the case when F is the duality map of the Lebesgue space L ^p (Ω), J is the duality map of the corresponding Sobolev space W ₀ ^1,p (Ω), and φ(t)=t ^p?1 (1<p<∞). This leads to existence, uniqueness, and perturbation results for a homogeneous eigenvalue problem involving the p-Laplace operator.     

Regular maps of graphs of order 4<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>

A 2-cell embedding f : X → S of a graph X into a closed orientable surface S can be described combinatorially by a pair M = (X;ρ ) called a map, where ρ is a product of disjoint cycle permutations each of which is the permutation of the arc set of X initiated at the same vertex following the orientation of S . It is well known that the automorphism group of M acts semi-regularly on the arc set of X and if the action is regular, then the map M and the embedding f are called regular. Let p and q be primes. Du et al. [J. Algebraic Combin., 19, 123-141 (2004)] classified the regular maps of graphs of order pq . In this paper all pairwise non-isomorphic regular maps of graphs of order 4 p are constructed explicitly and the genera of such regular maps are computed. As a result, there are twelve sporadic and six infinite families of regular maps of graphs of order 4 p ; two of the infinite families are regular maps with the complete bipartite graphs K2p,2p as underlying graphs and the other four infinite families are regular balanced Cayley maps on the groups Z4p , Z22 × Zp and D4p .     

To the Spectral Theory of One-Dimensional Matrix Dirac Operators with Point Matrix Interactions

We investigate one-dimensional (2p × 2p)-matrix Dirac operators D_X,α and D_X,β with point matrix interactions on a discrete set X. Several results of [4] are generalized to the case of (p × p)-matrix interactions with p > 1. It is shown that a number of properties of the operators D_X,α and D_X,β (self-adjointness, discreteness of the spectrum, etc.) are identical to the corresponding properties of some Jacobi matrices B_X,α and B_X,β with (p × p)-matrix entries. The relationship found is used to describe these properties as well as conditions of continuity and absolute continuity of the spectra of the operators D_X,α and D_X,β. Also the non-relativistic limit at the velocity of light c → ∞ is studied.     

Anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces and their applications

Let p ∈(0, 1], q ∈(0, ∞] and A be a general expansive matrix on Rn. We introduce the anisotropic Hardy-Lorentz space H~(p,q)_A(R~n) associated with A via the non-tangential grand maximal function and then establish its various real-variable characterizations in terms of the atomic and the molecular decompositions, the radial and the non-tangential maximal functions, and the finite atomic decompositions. All these characterizations except the ∞-atomic characterization are new even for the classical isotropic Hardy-Lorentz spaces on Rn.As applications, we first prove that Hp,q A(Rn) is an intermediate space between H~(p1,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p2,q2)_A(R~n) with 0 p1 p p2 ∞ and q1, q, q2 ∈(0, ∞], and also between H~(p,q1)_A(Rn) and H~(p,q2)_A(R~n) with p ∈(0, ∞)and 0 q1 q q2 ∞ in the real method of interpolation. We then establish a criterion on the boundedness of sublinear operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) into a quasi-Banach space; moreover, we obtain the boundedness of δ-type Calder′on-Zygmund operators from H~(p,∞)_A(R~n) to the weak Lebesgue space L~(p,∞)(R~n)(or to H~p_A(R~n)) in the ln λcritical case, from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,q)(R~n)(or to H~(p,q)_A(R~n)) with δ∈(0,(lnλ)/(ln b)], p ∈(1/(1+,δ),1] and q ∈(0, ∞], as well as the boundedness of some Calderon-Zygmund operators from H~(p,q)_A(R~n) to L~(p,∞)(R~n), where b := | det A|,λ_:= min{|λ| : λ∈σ(A)} and σ(A) denotes the set of all eigenvalues of A.     

On the nilpotent residuals of all subalgebras of Lie algebras

Let \(\mathcal{N}\) denote the class of nilpotent Lie algebras. For any finite-dimensional Lie algebra L over an arbitrary field \(\mathbb{F}\), there exists a smallest ideal I of L such that L/I ∈ \(\mathcal{N}\). This uniquely determined ideal of L is called the nilpotent residual of L and is denoted by L\(\mathcal{N}\). In this paper, we define the subalgebra S(L) = ∩_H≤LI_L(H\(\mathcal{N}\)). Set S₀(L) = 0. Define S_i+1(L)/S_i(L) = S(L/S_i(L)) for i > 1. By S_∞(L) denote the terminal term of the ascending series. It is proved that L = S_∞(L) if and only if L\(\mathcal{N}\) is nilpotent. In addition, we investigate the basic properties of a Lie algebra L with S(L) = L.     

Riesz* homomorphisms on pre-Riesz spaces consisting of continuous functions

In the theory of operators on a Riesz space (vector lattice), an important result states that the Riesz homomorphisms (lattice homomorphisms) on C(X) are exactly the weighted composition operators. We extend this result to Riesz* homomorphisms on order dense subspaces of C(X). On those subspace we consider and compare various classes of operators that extend the notion of a Riesz homomorphism. Furthermore, using the weighted composition structure of Riesz* homomorphisms we obtain several results concerning bijective Riesz* homomorphisms. In particular, we characterize the automorphism group for order dense subspaces of C(X). Lastly, we develop a similar theory for Riesz* homomorphisms on subspace of \(C_0(X)\), for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, and apply it to smooth manifolds and Sobolev spaces.     

Strictly singular operators in pairs of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis> <Subscript> <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> </Subscript> space

Let E and F be Banach spaces. A linear operator from E to F is said to be strictly singular if, for any subspace Q ? E, the restriction of A to Q is not an isomorphism. A compactness criterion for any strictly singular operator from L_p to L_q is found. There exists a strictly singular but not superstrictly singular operator on L_p, provided that p ≠ 2.     

Asymptotic <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis></Subscript>-Toeplitzness of weighted composition operators on <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>

Given a unilateral forward shift S acting on a complex, separable, innite dimensional Hilbert space H, an asymptotically S-Toeplitz operator is a bounded linear operator T on H satisfying that {S* ⁿ TS ⁿ } is convergent with respect to one of the topologies commonly used in the algebra of bounded linear operators on H. In this paper, we study the asymptotic T _u -Toeplitzness of weighted composition operators on the Hardy space H², where u is a nonconstant inner function.     

The Tukey Order and Subsets of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ω</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>

One partially ordered set, Q, is a Tukey quotient of another, P, if there is a map ? : P → Q carrying cofinal sets of P to cofinal sets of Q. Two partial orders which are mutual Tukey quotients are said to be Tukey equivalent. Let X be a space and denote by \(\mathcal {K}(X)\) the set of compact subsets of X, ordered by inclusion. The principal object of this paper is to analyze the Tukey equivalence classes of \(\mathcal {K}(S)\) corresponding to various subspaces S of ω ₁, their Tukey invariants, and hence the Tukey relations between them. It is shown that ω ^ω is a strict Tukey quotient of \({\Sigma }(\omega ^{\omega _{1}})\) and thus we distinguish between two Tukey classes out of Isbell’s ten partially ordered sets from (Isbell, J. R.: J. London Math Society 4(2), 394–416, 1972). The relationships between Tukey equivalence classes of \(\mathcal {K}(S)\), where S is a subspace of ω ₁, and \(\mathcal {K}(M)\), where M is a separable metrizable space, are revealed. Applications are given to function spaces.     

Hardy and Carleson Measure Spaces Associated with Operators on Spaces of Homogeneous Type

Let (X, d, μ) be a metric measure space with doubling property. The Hardy spaces associated with operators L were introduced and studied by many authors. All these spaces, however, were first defined by L ²(X) functions and finally the Hardy spaces were formally defined by the closure of these subspaces of L ²(X) with respect to Hardy spaces norms. A natural and interesting question in this context is to characterize the closure. The purpose of this paper is to answer this question. More precisely, we will introduce \({CMO}_{L}^{p}(X)\), the Carleson measure spaces associated with operators L, and characterize the Hardy spaces associated with operators L via \(({CMO}_{L}^{p}(X))'\), the distributions of \({CMO}_{L}^{p}(X)\).
