Rieffel deformation of homogeneous spaces

Let G₁⊂G be a closed subgroup of a locally compact group G and let X=G/G₁ be the quotient space of left cosets. Let X=(C₀(X),ΔX) be the corresponding G-C^∗-algebra where G=(C₀(G),Δ). Suppose that Γ is a closed abelian subgroup of G₁ and let Ψ be a 2-cocycle on the dual group . Let GΨ be the Rieffel deformation of G. Using the results of the previous paper of the author we may construct GΨ-C^∗-algebra XΨ - the Rieffel deformation of X. On the other hand we may perform the Rieffel deformation of the subgroup G₁ obtaining the closed quantum subgroup , which in turn, by the results of S. Vaes, leads to the GΨ-C^∗-algebra . In this paper we show that . We also consider the case where Γ⊂G is not a subgroup of G₁, for which we cannot construct the subgroup . Then generically XΨ cannot be identified with a quantum quotient. What may be shown is that it is a GΨ-simple object in the category of GΨ-C^∗-algebras.     

γ-Bounded representations of amenable groups

Let G be an amenable group, let X be a Banach space and let π:G→B(X) be a bounded representation. We show that if the set is γ-bounded then π extends to a bounded homomorphism w:C^∗(G)→B(X) on the group C^∗-algebra of G. Moreover w is necessarily γ-bounded. This extends to the Banach space setting a theorem of Day and Dixmier saying that any bounded representation of an amenable group on Hilbert space is unitarizable. We obtain additional results and complements when G=Z, R or T, and/or when X has property (α).     

Notes on ordered reproducing Hilbert spaces over the complex plane

Let f, g be entire functions. If there exist M₁,M₂>0 such that |f(z)|?M₁|g(z)| whenever |z|>M₂ we say that f?g. Let X be a reproducing Hilbert space with an orthogonal basis . We say that X is an ordered reproducing Hilbert space (or X is ordered) if f?g and g∈X imply f∈X. In this note, we show that if then X is ordered; if then X is not ordered. In the case , there are examples to show that X can be of order or opposite.

A further three critical points theorem

If X is a real Banach space, we denote by W_X the class of all functionals possessing the following property: if {u_n} is a sequence in X converging weakly to u∈X and lim inf_n→∞Φ(u_n)≤Φ(u), then {u_n} has a subsequence converging strongly to u.In this paper, we prove the following result:Let X be a separable and reflexive real Banach space; an interval; a sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous C¹ functional, belonging to W_X, bounded on each bounded subset of X and whose derivative admits a continuous inverse on X^∗; a C¹ functional with compact derivative. Assume that, for each λ∈I, the functional Φ−λJ is coercive and has a strict local, not global minimum, say .Then, for each compact interval [a,b]⊆I for which , there exists r>0 with the following property: for every λ∈[a,b] and every C¹ functional with compact derivative, there exists δ>0 such that, for each μ∈[0,δ], the equation

Uniqueness of norm on L(G) and C(G) when G is a compact group

Let G be a compact group. If the trivial representation of G is not weakly contained in the left regular representation of G on L₀²(G) and X is either L^p(G) for 1<p?∞ or C(G), then we show that every complete norm |·| on X that makes translations from (X,|·|) into itself continuous is equivalent to ||·||_p or ||·||_∞ respectively. If 1<p?∞ and every left invariant linear functional on L^p(G) is a constant multiple of the Haar integral, then we show that every complete norm |·| on L^p(G) that makes translations from (L^p(G),|·|) into itself continuous and that makes the map t?L_t from G into bounded is equivalent to ||·||_p.     

Note on the energy of regular graphs

For a simple graph G, the energy E(G) is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix A(G). Let n,m, respectively, be the number of vertices and edges of G. One well-known inequality is that , where λ₁ is the spectral radius. If G is k-regular, we have . Denote . Balakrishnan [R. Balakrishnan, The energy of a graph, Linear Algebra Appl. 387 (2004) 287-295] proved that for each ?>0, there exist infinitely many n for each of which there exists a k-regular graph G of order n with k<n-1 and , and proposed an open problem that, given a positive integer n?3, and ?>0, does there exist a k-regular graph G of order n such that . In this paper, we show that for each ?>0, there exist infinitely many such n that . Moreover, we construct another class of simpler graphs which also supports the first assertion that .     

Stochastic differential equations with coefficients in Sobolev spaces

We consider the Itô stochastic differential equation on Rd. The diffusion coefficients A₁,…,Am are supposed to be in the Sobolev space with p>d, and to have linear growth. For the drift coefficient A₀, we distinguish two cases: (i) A₀ is a continuous vector field whose distributional divergence δ(A₀) with respect to the Gaussian measure γd exists, (ii) A₀ has Sobolev regularity for some p^′>1. Assume for some λ₀>0. In case (i), if the pathwise uniqueness of solutions holds, then the push-forward #(Xt)γd admits a density with respect to γd. In particular, if the coefficients are bounded Lipschitz continuous, then Xt leaves the Lebesgue measure Lebd quasi-invariant. In case (ii), we develop a method used by G. Crippa and C. De Lellis for ODE and implemented by X. Zhang for SDE, to establish existence and uniqueness of stochastic flow of maps.

On T-sequences and characterized subgroups

Let X be a compact metrizable abelian group and u={un} be a sequence in its dual group X^∧. Set su(X)={x:(un,x)→1} and . Let G be a subgroup of X. We prove that G=su(X) for some u iff it can be represented as some dually closed subgroup Gu of . In particular, su(X) is polishable. Let u={un} be a T-sequence. Denote by the group X^∧ equipped with the finest group topology in which un→0. It is proved that and . We also prove that the group generated by a Kronecker set cannot be characterized.

Moreover we show that the inverse of this mapping can be extended to a ^∗-homomorphism

     

Ranges of densely defined generalized pseudomonotone perturbations of maximal monotone operators

Let X be a real reflexive Banach space and be maximal monotone. Let be quasibounded, finitely continuous and generalized pseudomonotone with X′⊂D(B), where X′ is a dense subspace of X such that X′∩D(A)≠∅. Let S⊂X∗. Conditions are given under which and intS⊂intR(A+B). Results of Browder concerning everywhere defined continuous and bounded operators B are improved. Extensions of this theory are also given using the degree theory of the last two authors concerning densely defined perturbations of nonlinear maximal monotone operators which satisfy a generalized (S₊)-condition. Applications of this extended theory are given involving nonlinear parabolic problems on cylindrical domains.

On operators commuting with Toeplitz operators modulo the finite rank operators

Let X be a bounded linear operator on the Hardy space H² of the unit disk. We show that if is of finite rank for every inner function θ, then X=T_?+F for some Toeplitz operator T_? and some finite rank operator F on H². This solves a variant of an open question where the compactness replaces the finite rank conditions.
