On chaotic -semigroups and infinitely regular hypercyclic vectors

A -semigroup on a Banach space is called hypercyclic if there exists an element such that is dense in . is called chaotic if is hypercyclic and the set of its periodic vectors is dense in as well. We show that a spectral condition introduced by Desch, Schappacher and Webb requiring many eigenvectors of the generator which depend analytically on the eigenvalues not only implies the chaoticity of the semigroup but the chaoticity of every . Furthermore, we show that semigroups whose generators have compact resolvent are never chaotic. In a second part we prove the existence of hypercyclic vectors in for a hypercyclic semigroup , where is its generator.

     

Automatic continuity of -derivations on -algebras

Let be a -algebra acting on a Hilbert space , let be a linear mapping and let be a -derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if is a continuous -mapping, then is automatically continuous. In addition, we show the converse is true in the sense that if is a continuous --derivation, then there exists a continuous linear mapping such that is a --derivation. The continuity of the so-called - -derivations is also discussed.

Extending into isometries of

In this paper we generalize a result of Hopenwasser and Plastiras (1997) that gives a geometric condition under which into isometries from to have a unique extension to an isometry in . We show that when and are separable reflexive Banach spaces having the metric approximation property with strictly convex and smooth and such that is a Hahn-Banach smooth subspace of , any nice into isometry has a unique extension to an isometry in .

     

Functional calculus and -regularity of a class of Banach algebras

Suppose that is a -dynamical system such that is of polynomial growth. If is finite dimensional, we show that any element in has slow growth and that is -regular. Furthermore, if is discrete and is a ``nice representation' of , we define a new Banach -algebra which coincides with when is finite dimensional. We also show that any element in has slow growth and is -regular.

     

All -cotilting modules are pure-injective

We prove that all -cotilting -modules are pure-injective for any ring and any . To achieve this, we prove that is a covering class whenever is an -module such that is closed under products and pure submodules.

     

Linear series over real and -adic fields

We note that the degeneration arguments given by the author in 2003 to derive a formula for the number of maps from a general curve of genus to with prescribed ramification also yields weaker results when working over the real numbers or -adic fields. Specifically, let be such a field: we see that given , , , and satisfying , there exists smooth curves of genus together with points such that all maps from to can, up to automorphism of the image, be defined over . We also note that the analagous result will follow from maps to higher-dimensional projective spaces if it is proven in the case , , and that thanks to work of Sottile, unconditional results may be obtained for special ramification conditions.

     

Spaces that admit hypercyclic operators with hypercyclic adjoints

A continuous linear operator is hypercyclic if there is an such that the orbit is dense. A result of H. Salas shows that any infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space admits a hypercyclic operator whose adjoint is also hypercyclic. It is a natural question to ask for what other spaces does contain such an operator. We prove that for any infinite-dimensional Banach space with a shrinking symmetric basis, such as and any , there is an operator , where both and are hypercyclic.

     

Global dominated splittings and the Newhouse phenomenon

We prove that given a compact -dimensional boundaryless manifold , , there exists a residual subset of the space of diffeomorphisms such that given any chain-transitive set of , then either admits a dominated splitting or else is contained in the closure of an infinite number of periodic sinks/sources. This result generalizes the generic dichotomy for homoclinic classes given by Bonatti, Diaz, and Pujals (2003).

It follows from the above result that given a -generic diffeomorphism , then either the nonwandering set may be decomposed into a finite number of pairwise disjoint compact sets each of which admits a dominated splitting, or else exhibits infinitely many periodic sinks/sources (the `` Newhouse phenomenon"). This result answers a question of Bonatti, Diaz, and Pujals and generalizes the generic dichotomy for surface diffeomorphisms given by Mañé (1982).

     

for commutative rings with identity

Let , , , , be the usual operators on classes of rings: and for isomorphic and homomorphic images of rings and , , respectively for subrings, direct, and subdirect products of rings. If is a class of commutative rings with identity (and in general of any kind of algebraic structures), then the class is known to be the variety generated by the class . Although the class is in general a proper subclass of the class for many familiar varieties . Our goal is to give an example of a class of commutative rings with identity such that . As a consequence we will describe the structure of two partially ordered monoids of operators.

     

Witt kernels of bilinear forms for algebraic extensions in characteristic

Let be a field of characteristic and let be a purely inseparable extension of exponent . We determine the kernel of the natural restriction map between the Witt rings of bilinear forms of and , respectively. This complements a result by Laghribi who computed the kernel for the Witt groups of quadratic forms for such an extension . Based on this result, we will determine for a wide class of finite extensions which are not necessarily purely inseparable.

     

A dual graph construction for higher-rank graphs, and -theory for finite 2-graphs

Given a -graph and an element of , we define the dual -graph, . We show that when is row-finite and has no sources, the -algebras and coincide. We use this isomorphism to apply Robertson and Steger's results to calculate the -theory of when is finite and strongly connected and satisfies the aperiodicity condition.

     

Remarks on spectra and multipliers for convolution operators

We prove that the spectrum of a convolution operator on a locally compact group by a self-adjoint -function is the same on and and consequently on all spaces, if and only if a Beurling algebra contains non-analytic functions on operating on into .

As an application, we prove the existence of principally polarized abelian varieties over of dimension and -rank such that .
