Quasi-convex density and determining subgroups of compact abelian groups

For an abelian topological group G, let denote the dual group of all continuous characters endowed with the compact open topology. Given a closed subset X of an infinite compact abelian group G such that w(X)<w(G), and an open neighborhood U of 0 in T, we show that . (Here, w(G) denotes the weight of G.) A subgroup D of G determines G if the map defined by r(χ)=χ?D for , is an isomorphism between and . We prove that

     

The oscillation of differential transforms - entire Jacobi expansions

Let L=(1−x²)D²−((β−α)−(α+β+2)x)D with , and . Let f∈C^∞[−1,1], , with normalized Jacobi polynomials and the Cn decrease sufficiently fast. Set Lk=L(Lk−1), k?2. Let ρ>1. If the number of sign changes of (Lkf)(x) in (−1,1) is O(k1/(ρ+1)), then f extends to be an entire function of logarithmic order . For Legendre expansions, the result holds with replaced with .     

New applications of Besov-type and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces

In this paper, the authors prove that Besov-Morrey spaces are proper subspaces of Besov-type spaces and that Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces are special cases of Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces . The authors also establish an equivalent characterization of when τ∈[0,1/p). These Besov-type spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin-type spaces were recently introduced to connect Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with Q spaces. Moreover, for the spaces and , the authors investigate their trace properties and the boundedness of the pseudo-differential operators with homogeneous symbols in these spaces, which generalize the corresponding classical results of Jawerth and Grafakos-Torres by taking τ=0.     

Operator-valued measures and linear operators

We study operator-valued measures , where L(X,Y) stands for the space of all continuous linear operators between real Banach spaces X and Y and Σ is a σ-algebra of sets. We extend the Bartle-Dunford-Schwartz theorem and the Orlicz-Pettis theorem for vector measures to the case of operator-valued measures. We generalize the classical Vitali-Hahn-Saks theorem to sets of operator-valued measures which are compact in the strong operator topology.

Decompositions of Besov-Hausdorff and Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff spaces and their applications

Let p∈(1,∞), q∈[1,∞), s∈R and . In this paper, the authors establish the φ-transform characterizations of Besov-Hausdorff spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin-Hausdorff spaces (q>1); as applications, the authors then establish their embedding properties (which on is also sharp), smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations for suitable τ. Moreover, using their atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations, the authors investigate the trace properties and the boundedness of pseudo-differential operators with homogeneous symbols in and (q>1), which generalize the corresponding classical results on homogeneous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces when p∈(1,∞) and q∈[1,∞) by taking τ=0.     

Fixed points of dual quantum operations

Let ?A be a normal completely positive map on B(H) with Kraus operators . Denote M the subset of normal completely positive maps by . In this note, the relations between the fixed points of ?A and are investigated. We obtain that , where K(H) is the set of all compact operators on H and is the dual of ?A∈M. In addition, we show that the map is a bijection on M.     

Explicit formulas for Laplace transforms of certain functionals of some time inhomogeneous diffusions

We consider a process given by the SDE , t∈[0,T), with initial condition , where T∈(0,∞], α∈R, (Bt)_t∈[0,T) is a standard Wiener process, b:[0,T)→R?{0} and σ:[0,T)→(0,∞) are continuously differentiable functions. Assuming , t∈[0,T), with some K∈R, we derive an explicit formula for the joint Laplace transform of and for all t∈[0,T) and for all α∈R. Our motivation is that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of α can be expressed in terms of these random variables. As an application, we show that in case of α=K, K≠0,

     

Multiplicatively range-preserving maps between Banach function algebras

Let A and B be two Banach function algebras on locally compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y, respectively. Let T be a multiplicatively range-preserving map from A onto B in the sense that (TfTg)(Y)=(fg)(X) for all f,g∈A. We define equivalence relations on appropriate subsets and of X and Y, respectively, and show that T induces a homeomorphism between the quotient spaces of and by these equivalence relations. In particular, if all points in the Choquet boundaries of A and B are strong boundary points, then and are equal to the Choquet boundaries of A and B, respectively, and moreover, there exist a continuous function h on the Choquet boundary of B taking its values in {−1,1} and a homeomorphism φ from the Choquet boundary of B onto the Choquet boundary of A such that Tf(y)=h(y)f(φ(y)) for all f∈A and y in the Choquet boundary of B. For certain Banach function algebras A and B on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y, respectively, we can weaken the surjectivity assumption and give a representation for maps belonging 2-locally to the family of all multiplicatively range-preserving maps from A onto B.     

Coarse version of the Banach-Stone theorem

We show that if there exists a Lipschitz homeomorphism T between the nets in the Banach spaces C(X) and C(Y) of continuous real valued functions on compact spaces X and Y, then the spaces X and Y are homeomorphic provided . By l(T) and l(T−1) we denote the Lipschitz constants of the maps T and T−1. This improves the classical result of Jarosz and the recent result of Dutrieux and Kalton where the constant obtained is . We also estimate the distance of the map T from the isometry of the spaces C(X) and C(Y).

The domain of the Wiener integral with respect to a sub-fractional Brownian motion , , k≠0, is characterized. The set is a Hilbert space which contains the class of elementary functions as a dense subset. If , any element of is a function and if , the domain is a space of distributions.     

Exact rates in log law for positively associated random variables

Let be a strictly stationary sequence of positively associated random variables with mean zero and finite variance. Set , Mn=maxk?n|Sk|, n?1. Suppose . In this paper, we study the exact convergence rates of a kind of weighted infinite series of , and as ε↘0, respectively.     

Primitive elements in rings of continuous functions

Let be a surjective continuous map between compact Hausdorff spaces. The map π induces, by composition, an injective morphism C(Y)→C(X) between the corresponding rings of real-valued continuous functions, and this morphism allows us to consider C(Y) as a subring of C(X). This paper deals with algebraic properties of the ring extension C(Y)⊆C(X) in relation to topological properties of the map . We prove that if the extension C(Y)⊆C(X) has a primitive element, i.e., C(X)=C(Y)[f], then it is a finite extension and, consequently, the map π is locally injective. Moreover, for each primitive element f we consider the ideal and prove that, for a connected space Y, If is a principal ideal if and only if is a trivial covering.     

Well-posedness for the Navier-Stokes-Nernst-Planck-Poisson system in Triebel-Lizorkin space and Besov space with negative indices

This paper is concerned with the well-posedness of the Navier-Stokes-Nerst-Planck-Poisson system (NSNPP). Let sp=−2+n/p. We prove that the NSNPP has a unique local solution for in a subspace, i.e., Vu1×Vv1×Vv1, of with . We also prove that there exists a unique small global solution for any small initial data with .     

The space of scalarly integrable functions for a Fréchet-space-valued measure

The space of all scalarly integrable functions with respect to a Fréchet-space-valued vector measure ν is shown to be a complete Fréchet lattice with the σ-Fatou property which contains the (traditional) space L¹(ν), of all ν-integrable functions. Indeed, L¹(ν) is the σ-order continuous part of . Every Fréchet lattice with the σ-Fatou property and containing a weak unit in its σ-order continuous part is Fréchet lattice isomorphic to a space of the kind .     

Multistage n-dimensional universal spaces and extensions

Let Iτ be the Tychonoff cube of weight τ?ω with a fixed point, στ and Στ be the correspondent σ- and Σ-products in Iτ and στ⊂(Σστ=ω(στ))⊂Στ. Then for any n∈{0,1,2,…}, there exists a compactum Unτ⊂Iτ of dimension n such that for any Z⊂Iτ of dimension?n, there exists a topological embedding of Z in Unτ that maps the intersections of Z with στ, Σστ and Στ to the intersections , and of Unτ with στ, Σστ and Στ, respectively; , and are n-dimensional and is σ-compact, is a Lindelöf Σ-space and is a sequentially compact normal Fréchet-Urysohn space. This theorem (on multistage universal spaces of given dimension and weight) implies multistage extension theorems (in particular, theorems on Corson and Eberlein compactifications) for Tychonoff spaces.     

On the intrinsic and the spatial numerical range

For a bounded function f from the unit sphere of a closed subspace X of a Banach space Y, we study when the closed convex hull of its spatial numerical range W(f) is equal to its intrinsic numerical range V(f). We show that for every infinite-dimensional Banach space X there is a superspace Y and a bounded linear operator such that . We also show that, up to renormig, for every non-reflexive Banach space Y, one can find a closed subspace X and a bounded linear operator T∈L(X,Y) such that .Finally, we introduce a sufficient condition for the closed convex hull of the spatial numerical range to be equal to the intrinsic numerical range, which we call the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property, and which is weaker than the uniform smoothness and the finite-dimensionality. We characterize strong subdifferentiability and uniform smoothness in terms of this property.     

Additive Jordan isomorphisms of nest algebras on normed spaces

Let X be a real or complex Banach space. Let and be two nest algebras on X. Suppose that φ is an additive bijective mapping from onto such that φ(A²)=φ(A)² for every . Then φ is either a ring isomorphism or a ring anti-isomorphism. Moreover, if X is a real space or an infinite dimensional complex space, then there exists a continuous (conjugate) linear bijective mapping T such that either φ(A)=TAT⁻¹ for every or φ(A)=TA∗T−1 for every .     

Wavelet expansions and asymptotic behavior of distributions

We develop a distribution wavelet expansion theory for the space of highly time-frequency localized test functions over the real line S₀(R)⊂S(R) and its dual space , namely, the quotient of the space of tempered distributions modulo polynomials. We prove that the wavelet expansions of tempered distributions converge in . A characterization of boundedness and convergence in is obtained in terms of wavelet coefficients. Our results are then applied to study local and non-local asymptotic properties of Schwartz distributions via wavelet expansions. We provide Abelian and Tauberian type results relating the asymptotic behavior of tempered distributions with the asymptotics of wavelet coefficients.
