Carleson measures, multipliers and integration operators for spaces of Dirichlet type

For 0<p<∞ and α>−1, we let denote the space of those functions f which are analytic in the unit disc and satisfy . In this paper we characterize the positive Borel measures μ in D such that , 0<p<q<∞. We also characterize the pointwise multipliers from to (0<p<q<∞) if p−2<α<p. In particular, we prove that if the only pointwise multiplier from to (0<p<q<∞) is the trivial one. This is not longer true for and we give a number of explicit examples of functions which are multipliers from to for this range of values.     

On duality between étale groupoids and Hopf algebroids

For any étale Lie groupoid G over a smooth manifold M, the groupoid convolution algebra of smooth functions with compact support on G has a natural coalgebra structure over the commutative algebra which makes it into a Hopf algebroid. Conversely, for any Hopf algebroid A over we construct the associated spectral étale Lie groupoid over M such that is naturally isomorphic to G. Both these constructions are functorial, and is fully faithful left adjoint to . We give explicit conditions under which a Hopf algebroid is isomorphic to the Hopf algebroid of an étale Lie groupoid G.     

A multiplicity result for the jumping nonlinearity problem

We consider a class of nonlinear problems of the form Au+g(x,u)=f, where A is an unbounded self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H of L2(Ω)-functions, an arbitrary domain, and is a “jumping nonlinearity” in the sense that the limits , exist and “jump” over the principal eigenvalue of the operator −A. Under rather general conditions on the operator L and for suitable a<b, we prove some multiplicity results. Applications are given to the wave equation, and elliptic equations in the whole space .     

Polynomial identities and noncommutative versal torsors

To any cleft Hopf Galois object, i.e., any algebra obtained from a Hopf algebra H by twisting its multiplication with a two-cocycle α, we attach two “universal algebras” and . The algebra is obtained by twisting the multiplication of H with the most general two-cocycle σ formally cohomologous to α. The cocycle σ takes values in the field of rational functions on H. By construction, is a cleft H-Galois extension of a “big” commutative algebra . Any “form” of can be obtained from by a specialization of and vice versa. If the algebra is simple, then is an Azumaya algebra with center . The algebra is constructed using a general theory of polynomial identities that we set up for arbitrary comodule algebras; it is the universal comodule algebra in which all comodule algebra identities of are satisfied. We construct an embedding of into ; this embedding maps the center of into when the algebra is simple. In this case, under an additional assumption, , thus turning into a central localization of . We completely work out these constructions in the case of the four-dimensional Sweedler algebra.     

Uniform non-amenability

For any finitely generated group G an invariant ?0 is introduced which measures the “amount of non-amenability” of G. If G is amenable, then . If , we call G uniformly non-amenable. We study the basic properties of this invariant; for example, its behaviour when passing to subgroups and quotients of G. We prove that the following classes of groups are uniformly non-amenable: non-abelian free groups, non-elementary word-hyperbolic groups, large groups, free Burnside groups of large enough odd exponent, and groups acting acylindrically on a tree. Uniform non-amenability implies uniform exponential growth. We also exhibit a family of non-amenable groups (in particular including all non-solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups) which are not uniformly non-amenable, that is, they satisfy . Finally, we derive a relation between our uniform Følner constant and the uniform Kazhdan constant with respect to the left regular representation of G.     

On the automorphisms of the spectral completion of the algebraic numbers field

Let be the absolute Galois group of Q and let A=C(G,C) be the Banach algebra of all continuous functions defined on G with values in C. Let be the conjugation automorphism of C and let B be the R-Banach subalgebra of A consisting of continuous functions f such that for all σ∈G. Let ‖x‖=sup{|σ(x)|:σ∈G} be the spectral norm on and let be the spectral completion of . Using a canonical isometry between and B we study the structure of the group of R-algebras automorphisms of and the structure of its subgroup of all automorphisms of which when restricted to give rise to elements of G. We introduce a topology on and prove that this last one is homeomorphic and group isomorphic to G.     

On a relation between certain cohomological invariants

Let G be a group, the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective ZG-modules and the supremum of the injective lengths of the projective ZG-modules. The invariants and were studied in [T.V. Gedrich, K.W. Gruenberg, Complete cohomological functors on groups, Topology Appl. 25 (1987) 203-223] in connection with the existence of complete cohomological functors. If is finite then [T.V. Gedrich, K.W. Gruenberg, Complete cohomological functors on groups, Topology Appl. 25 (1987) 203-223] and , where is the generalized cohomological dimension of G [B.M. Ikenaga, Homological dimension and Farrell cohomology, J. Algebra 87 (1984) 422-457]. Note that if G is of finite virtual cohomological dimension. It has been conjectured in [O. Talelli, On groups of type Φ, Arch. Math. 89 (1) (2007) 24-32] that if is finite then G admits a finite dimensional model for , the classifying space for proper actions.We conjecture that for any group G and we prove the conjecture for duality groups, fundamental groups of graphs of finite groups and fundamental groups of certain finite graphs of groups of type .     

Majorization of regular measures and weights with finite and positive critical exponent

For the sets , 1?p<∞, of positive finite Borel measures μ on the real axis with the set of algebraic polynomials P dense in Lp(R,dμ), we establish a majorization principle of their “boundaries,” i.e. for every there exists such that dμ/dν?1. A corresponding principle holds for the sets , p>0, of non-negative upper semi-continuous on R functions (weights) w such that P is dense in the space : For every there exists such that w?ω.     

Genericity of wild holomorphic functions and common hypercyclic vectors

Let T_α be the translation operator by α in the space of entire functions defined by . We prove that there is a residual set G of entire functions such that for every f∈G and every the sequence is dense in , that is, G is a residual set of common hypercyclic vectors ( functions) for the family . Also, we prove similar results for many families of operators as: multiples of differential operator, multiples of backward shift, weighted backward shifts.     

Independence of ? in Lafforgue's theorem

Let X be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic p, let ?≠p be a prime number, and let be an irreducible lisse -sheaf on X whose determinant is of finite order. By a theorem of L. Lafforgue, for each prime number ?′≠p, there exists an irreducible lisse -sheaf on X which is compatible with , in the sense that at every closed point x of X, the characteristic polynomials of Frobenius at x for and are equal. We prove an “independence of ?” assertion on the fields of definition of these irreducible ?′-adic sheaves : namely, that there exists a number field F such that for any prime number ?′≠p, the -sheaf above is defined over the completion of F at one of its ?′-adic places.     

Estimate of the L-Fourier transform norm on nilpotent Lie groups

Let 1<p?2 and q be such that . It is well known that the norm of the L^p-Fourier transform of the additive group is , where . For a nilpotent Lie group G, we obtain the estimate , where m is the maximal dimension of the coadjoint orbits. Such a result was known only for some particular cases.     

Analysis of a system of fractional differential equations

We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the initial value problem for the system of fractional differential equations , where D^α denotes standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, 0<α<1, and A is a square matrix. The unique solution to this initial value problem turns out to be , where E_α denotes the Mittag-Leffler function generalized for matrix arguments. Further we analyze the system , , 0<α<1, and investigate dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions.     

A new majorization between functions, polynomials, and operator inequalities

Let P₊ be the set of all non-negative operator monotone functions defined on [0,∞), and put . Then and . For a function and a strictly increasing function h we write if is operator monotone. If and and if and , then . We will apply this result to polynomials and operator inequalities. Let and be non-increasing sequences, and put for t≧a₁ and for t≧b₁. Then v₊?u₊ if m≦n and : in particular, for a sequence of orthonormal polynomials, (p_n-1)₊?(p_n)₊. Suppose 0<r,p and s=0 or 1≦s≦1+p/r. Then 0≦A≦B implies for 0<α≦r/(p+r).     

Nilpotent orbits and some small unitary representations of indefinite orthogonal groups

For 2?m?l/2, let G be a simply connected Lie group with as Lie algebra, let be the complexification of the usual Cartan decomposition, let K be the analytic subgroup with Lie algebra , and let be the universal enveloping algebra of . This work examines the unitarity and K spectrum of representations in the “analytic continuation” of discrete series of G, relating these properties to orbits in the nilpotent radical of a certain parabolic subalgebra of .The roots with respect to the usual compact Cartan subalgebra are all ±e_i±e_j with 1?i<j?l. In the usual positive system of roots, the simple root e_m−e_m+1 is noncompact and the other simple roots are compact. Let be the parabolic subalgebra of for which e_m−e_m+1 contributes to and the other simple roots contribute to , let L be the analytic subgroup of G with Lie algebra , let , let be the sum of the roots contributing to , and let be the parabolic subalgebra opposite to .The members of are nilpotent members of . The group acts on with finitely many orbits, and the topological closure of each orbit is an irreducible algebraic variety. If Y is one of these varieties, let R(Y) be the dual coordinate ring of Y; this is a quotient of the algebra of symmetric tensors on that carries a fully reducible representation of .For , let . Then λ_s defines a one-dimensional module . Extend this to a module by having act by 0, and define . Let be the unique irreducible quotient of . The representations under study are and , where and Π_S is the Sth derived Bernstein functor.For s>2l−2, it is known that π_s=π_s′ and that π_s′ is in the discrete series. Enright, Parthsarathy, Wallach, and Wolf showed for m?s?2l−2 that π_s=π_s′ and that π_s′ is still unitary. The present paper shows that π_s′ is unitary for 0?s?m−1 even though π_s≠π_s′, and it relates the K spectrum of the representations π_s′ to the representation of on a suitable R(Y) with Y depending on s. Use of a branching formula of D. E. Littlewood allows one to obtain an explicit multiplicity formula for each K type in π_s′; the variety Y is indispensable in the proof. The chief tools involved are an idea of B. Gross and Wallach, a geometric interpretation of Littlewood's theorem, and some estimates of norms.It is shown further that the natural invariant Hermitian form on π_s′ does not make π_s′ unitary for s<0 and that the K spectrum of π_s′ in these cases is not related in the above way to the representation of on any R(Y).A final section of the paper treats in similar fashion the simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra , 2?m?l/2.
