On the structure of level sets of uniform and Lipschitz quotient mappings from $$ \mathbb{R}^n $$ to $$ \mathbb{R} $$

We study two questions posed by Johnson, Lindenstrauss, Preiss, and Schechtman, concerning the structure of level sets of uniform and Lipschitz quotient mappings from . We show that if , is a uniform quotient mapping then for every has a bounded number of components, each component of separates and the upper bound of the number of components depends only on and the moduli of co-uniform and uniform continuity of .Next we prove that all level sets of any co-Lipschitz uniformly continuous mapping from to are locally connected, and we show that for every pair of a constant and a function with , there exists a natural number , so that for every co-Lipschitz uniformly continuous map with a co-Lipschitz constant and a modulus of uniform continuity , there exists a natural number and a finite set with card so that for all has exactly components, has exactly components and each component of is homeomorphic with the real line and separates the plane into exactly 2 components. The number and form of components of for are also described - they have a finite tree structure.     

Beckman-Quarles type theorems for mappings from $$ \mathbb{R}^n $$ to $$ \mathbb{C}^n $$

Summary. Let We say that preserves the distance d 0 if for each implies Let A _n denote the set of all positive numbers d such that any map that preserves unit distance preserves also distance d. Let D _n denote the set of all positive numbers d with the property: if and then there exists a finite set S _xy with such that any map that preserves unit distance preserves also the distance between x and y. Obviously, We prove: (1) (2) for n 2 D _n is a dense subset of (2) implies that each mapping f from to (n 2) preserving unit distance preserves all distances, if f is continuous with respect to the product topologies on and      

Estimates of Marcinkiewicz Integrals with Bounded Homogeneous Kernels of Degree Zero

Under the cancellation property and a certain Dini-type condition on kernels, we prove that Marcinkiewicz integrals with kernels which are homogeneous functions of degree zero, are bounded from to , from to , and from to for .     

A note on the isotopy problem for $$ \mathbb{R}^2 $$ -planes

For a class of stable planes we define a notion of isotopy equivalence with respect to that class and prove that any two planes of a certain class of -planes comprising all affine -planes are isotopy equivalent. Furthermore we obtain that all affine -planes are isotopy equivalent in the class of affine -planes. Finally we give an example which shows that this approach cannot be easily generalized to 2-dimensional projective planes, and we outline a different way for a possible generalization.Received: 27 April 2001     

On the Schwarz reflection principle for monogenic functions

Let ∑ be either an oriented hyperplane or the unit sphere in , let be open and connected and let be an open and connected domain in such that . If in is a null solution of the Dirac operator (also called a monogenic function in ) which is continuously extendable to , then conditions upon are given enabling the monogenic extension of across . In such a way Schwarz reflection type principles for monogenic functions are established in the Spin (1) and Spin cases. The Spin (1) case includes the classical Schwarz reflection principle for holomorphic functions in the plane. The Spin case deals with so-called “half boundary value problems” for the Dirac operator.

On the Singularities of the Magnetic Spectral Shift Function at the Landau Levels

We consider the three-dimensional Schrödinger operators and where , A is a magnetic potential generating a constant magnetic field of strength , and where decays fast enough at infinity. Then, A. Pushnitskis representation of the spectral shift function (SSF) for the pair of operators is well defined for energies We study the behaviour of the associated representative of the equivalence class determined by the SSF, in a neighbourhood of the Landau levels Reducing our analysis to the study of the eigenvalue asymptotics for a family of compact operators of Toeplitz type, we establish a relation between the type of the singularities of the SSF at the Landau levels and the decay rate of V at infinity.

Proof of the Ergodic Hypothesis for Typical Hard Ball Systems

We consider the system of hard balls with masses and radius r in the flat torus of size . We prove the ergodicity (actually, the Bernoulli mixing property) of such systems for almost every selection of the outer geometric parameters. This theorem complements my earlier result that proved the same, almost sure ergodicity for the case . The method of that proof was primarily dynamical-geometric, whereas the present approach is inherently algebraic. Communicated by Eduard ZehnderSubmitted 17/10/02, accepted 01/12/03     

K-Theory for the Banach Algebra of Operators on James''s Quasi-reflexive Banach Spaces

We prove that the K-groups of the Banach algebra of bounded, linear operators on the pth James space , where 1 < p < , are given by and . Moreover, for each Banach space and each non-zero, closed ideal contained in the ideal of inessential operators, we show that and . This enables us to calculate the K-groups of for each Banach space which is a direct sum of finitely many James spaces and -spaces.

Application of Upper Hemi-Continuous Operators on Generalized Bi-quasi-variational Inequalities in Locally Convex Topological Vector Spaces

Let and be Hausdorff topological vector spaces over the field , let be a bilinear functional, and let be a non-empty subset of . Given a set-valued map and two set-valued maps , the generalized bi-quasi-variational inequality (GBQVI) problem is to find a point and a point such that and for all and for all or to find a point a point and a point such that and for all . The generalized bi-quasi-variational inequality was introduced first by Shih and Tan [8] in 1989. In this paper we shall obtain some existence theorems of generalized bi-quasi-variational inequalities as application of upper hemi-continuous operators [4] in locally convex topological vector spaces on compact sets.
