Conjugate -connections and holonomy groups

In this article we show that when the structure group of the reducible principal bundle is and is an -subbundle of , the rank of the holonomy group of a connection which is gauge equivalent to its conjugate connection is less than or equal to , and use the estimate to show that for all odd prime , if the holonomy group of the irreducible connection as above is simple and is not isomorphic to , , or , then it is isomorphic to .

     

P-continuity on classical Banach spaces

Given a Banach space and an integer , the existence of an -homogeneous polynomial which is not uniformly continuous with respect to the polynomial topology on is investigated. We provide a complete characterization for some classical Banach spaces, while for others a surprising unresolved difficulty is encountered for a certain value of (depending on ).

     

Schreier theorem on groups which split over free abelian groups

Let be either a free product with amalgamation or an HNN group where is isomorphic to a free abelian group of finite rank. Suppose that both and have no nontrivial, finitely generated, normal subgroups of infinite indices. We show that if contains a finitely generated normal subgroup which is neither contained in nor free, then the index of in is finite. Further, as an application of this result, we show that the fundamental group of a torus sum of -manifolds and , the interiors of which admit hyperbolic structures, have no nontrivial, finitely generated, nonfree, normal subgroup of infinite index if each of and has at least one nontorus boundary.

Let be an algebraic number field and be the ring of integers of . Let be a finite group and be a finitely generated torsion free -module. We say that is a globally irreducible -module if, for every maximal ideal of , the -module is irreducible, where stands for the residue field .

Answering a question of Pham Huu Tiep, we prove that the symmetric group does not have non-trivial globally irreducible modules. More precisely we establish that if is a globally irreducible -module, then is an -module of rank with the trivial or sign action of .

Under various assumptions on , and we show that can be extended to a holomorphic map from into . Moreover, it is proved that an increasing union of pseudoconvex domains containing no complex lines has the Hartogs extension property.

     

Lomonosov's theorem cannot be extended to chains of four operators

We show that the celebrated Lomonosov theorem cannot be improved by increasing the number of commuting operators. Specifically, we prove that if is the operator without a non-trivial closed invariant subspace constructed by C. J. Read, then there are three operators , and (non-multiples of the identity) such that commutes with , commutes with , commutes with , and is compact. It is also shown that the commutant of contains only series of .

Maximal estimates for the -dimensional Walsh-Fourier series

The -dimensional dyadic martingale Hardy spaces are introduced and it is proved that the maximal operator of the means of a Walsh-Fourier series is bounded from to and is of weak type , provided that the supremum in the maximal operator is taken over a positive cone. As a consequence we obtain that the means of a function converge a.e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the means are uniformly bounded on whenever . Thus, in case , the means converge to in norm. The same results are proved for the conjugate means, too.

Consider a discrete group and a bounded self-adjoint convolution operator on ; let be the spectrum of .

We prove that a nonzero function and its transform cannot be simultaneously concentrated on sets , such that and the cardinality of are both small. This can be regarded as an extension to this context of Heisenberg's classical uncertainty principle.
