New Proof of the Semmes Inequality for the Derivative of the Rational Function

In the open disk of the complex plane, we consider the following spaces of functions: the Bloch space ; the Hardy--Sobolev space ; and the Hardy--Besov space . It is shown that if all the poles of the rational function R of degree n, , lie in the domain , then , where and depends only on . The second of these inequalities for the case of the half-plane was obtained by Semmes in 1984. The proof given by Semmes was based on the use of Hankel operators, while our proof uses the special integral representation of rational functions.     

Exponential Stability of Semigroups Related to Operator Models in Mechanics

In this paper, we consider equations of the form , where is a function with values in the Hilbert space , the operator B is symmetric, and the operator A is uniformly positive and self-adjoint in . The linear operator generating the C ₀-semigroup in the energy space is associated with this equation. We prove that this semigroup is exponentially stable if the operator B is uniformly positive and the operator A dominates B in the sense of quadratic forms.     

Uniform Convergence of Trigonometric Series with Rarely Changing Coefficients

We consider the series and whose coefficients satisfy the condition for , where the sequence can be expressed as the union of a finite number of lacunary sequences. The following results are obtained. If as , then the series is uniformly convergent. If for all , then the sequence of partial sums of this series is uniformly bounded. If the series is convergent for and as , then this series is uniformly convergent. If the sequence of partial sums of the series for is bounded and for all , then the sequence of partial sums of this series is uniformly bounded. In these assertions, conditions on the rates of decrease of the coefficients of the series are also necessary if the sequence is lacunary. In the general case, they are not necessary.

We also define and study continuous K-theory of orders in p-adic semi-simple algebras and show some connection between the profinite and continuous K-theory of .     

Strong Positivity in Right-Invariant Order on Braid Groups and Quasipositivity

Dehornoy constructed a right invariant order on the braid group B _n uniquely defined by the condition 1{\text{ if }}\beta _0 ,\beta _1$$ " align="middle" border="0"> are words in . A braid is called strongly positive if 1$$ " align="middle" border="0"> for any . In the present paper it is proved that the braid is strongly positive if the word does not contain . We also provide a geometric proof of the result by Burckel and Laver that the standard generators of a braid group are strongly positive. Finally, we discuss relations between the right invariant order and quasipositivity.

Trajectory and Global Attractors of Three-Dimensional Navier--Stokes Systems

We construct the trajectory attractor of a three-dimensional Navier--Stokes system with exciting force . The set consists of a class of solutions to this system which are bounded in , defined on the positive semi-infinite interval of the time axis, and can be extended to the entire time axis so that they still remain bounded-in- solutions of the Navier--Stokes system. In this case any family of bounded-in- solutions of this system comes arbitrary close to the trajectory attractor . We prove that the solutions are continuous in t if they are treated in the space of functions ranging in . The restriction of the trajectory attractor to , , is called the global attractor of the Navier--Stokes system. We prove that the global attractor thus defined possesses properties typical of well-known global attractors of evolution equations. We also prove that as the trajectory attractors and the global attractors of the -order Galerkin approximations of the Navier--Stokes system converge to the trajectory and global attractors and , respectively. Similar problems are studied for the cases of an exciting force of the form depending on time and of an external force rapidly oscillating with respect to the spatial variables or with respect to time .

A Criterion for Contiguity of Quasiconcave Functions

Quasiconcave functions and belong to the same scale if there exist quasiconcave functions and and numbers such that and . We establish a criterion for such functions to belong to the same scale up to equivalence. This criterion is obtained in terms of nodes of the corresponding linear-constant step-functions. It turns out that nodes must be equivalent to sequences.

The well-known theorem of Weyl about the essential self-adjointness of the Sturm--Liouville operator in with , and is generalized to second-order elliptic operators in . The multidimensional Weyl theorem is derived from a more general theorem; to state and prove the latter, a special covering family is constructed. The results obtained imply the known multidimensional analogs of the Weyl theorem and, unlike these analogs, apply to open proper subsets in .

Indecomposable Elements in K1 of a Smooth Projective Variety

Let X be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers. We consider the cohomology of the sheaves and arising from Deligne–Beilinson cohomology and the Hodge filtration on the singular cohomology of X. We show that one can identify with the image of the truncated regulator map c¯2,1. In particular, this implies that is countable. Since this group is a direct summand of coker , this gives a partial answer to Voisin's conjecture that cocker() is countable. In the case of X a surface, we prove that the Albanese kernel T(X) is isomorphic to the group of global sections of if and only if pg=0.

Characterization of Normal Traces on Von Neumann Algebras by Inequalities for the Modulus

It is proved that if a normal semifinite weight on a von Neumann algebra satisfies the inequality for any selfadjoint operators in , then this weight is a trace. Several similar characterizations of traces among the normal semifinite weights are proved. In particular, Gardner's result on the characterization of traces by the inequality is refined and reinforced.
