On absolute summability factors of infinite series

In this paper using δ-quasi-monotone sequences a theorem on summability factors of infinite series, which generalizes a theorem of Bor [4] on summability factors of infinite series, is proved. Also, in the special case this theorem includes a result of Mazhar [8] on |C, 1|_k summability factors.

Compact Hankel operators with conjugate analytic symbols

In 1986 S. Axler [3] proved that forf∈L _a ² the Hankel operator is compact if and only iff is in the little Bloch space {itB}{in0}. In this note we show that the same is true for , 1<p<∞. Moreover we prove that is ⋆-compact if and only if as |z|→1⁻.

What we know about the second adjunction mapping

Let be an algebraic submanifold of complex projective space ℙ ^N . Assume thatn:=dim and let denote the restriction of the hyperplane section bundle to . The meromorphic map associated to fork≥1 ties together the pluricanonical maps of the surface sections of . Known results show that the behavior of is far better than one would expect from experience with the pluricanonical mappings of algebraic surfaces. In this article we discuss the known results on the structure of the mappings and describe the open problems. Conferenza tenuta il 5 giugno 1997     

A minimax regret estimator of a normal mean after preliminary test

Summary This paper considers the problem of estimating a normal mean from the point of view of the estimation after preliminary test of significance. But our point of view is different from the usual one. The difference is interpretation about a null hypothesis. Let denote the sample mean based on a sample of sizen from a normal population with unknown mean μ and known varianceσ ². We consider the estimator that assumes the value when and the value when where ω is a real number such that 0≤ω≤1 andC is some positive constant. We prove the existence of ω, satisfying the minimax regret criterion and make a numerical comparison among estimators by using the mean square error as a criterion of goodness of estimators.     

Decomposition and embedment of trajectories after explosion for a birth and death process

Let X = {X(t),t ＜σ} (σ is lifespan) be a birth and death process with explosion whose characteristic triple (Mα,MC,MD) of MX in terms of (α, C, D) and M. This means that a lot of given birth and death processes can be embedded in one and the same birth and death process. If κ∈ E and M = {κ},we decompose X into κX, κ∈ E.     

On the maximum modulus principle for polynomials in a quasidisk

Harmonic measure of curves in the disk

A powerful tool for studying the growth of analytic and harmonic functions is Hall's Lemma, which states that there is a constantC>0 so that the harmonic measure of a subsetE of the closed unit disk evaluated at 0 satisfies whereE _rad is the radial projection ofE onto . FitzGerald, Rodin and Warschawski proved that ifE is a continuum in whose radial projection has length at most π then (*) is true withC=1, and they asked how large the length, |E _rad|, can be in order for their result to be valid. We prove that (*) holds withC=1 for every continuum satisfying and θc cannot be replaced by a larger number. Fuchs asked for the largest constantC so that (*) holds for allE. We show that for every continuum , (*) holds withC=C _2π≅.977126698498665669…, whereC _2π is the harmonic measure of the two long sides of a 3∶1 rectangle evaluated at the center. There are Jordan curves for which equality holds in (*) withC=C _2π. The authors are supported in part by NSF grants DMS-9302823 and DMS-9401027, and while at MSRI by NSF grant DMS-9022140.     

Primitive systems of elements in the variety\mathfrak{A}\mathfrak{N}_2 and some locally finite varieties of groupsand some locally finite varieties of groups

Part of any basis of a relatively free group in the variety is called a primitive system of elements. We provide a criterion of being primitive for , where is a variety of Abelian groups satisfying x^m=1, and a variety generated by a finite group. Let be a variety of nilpotent groups of class ≤c. It is proved that, for the group , the property of being primitive for an element g is stronger than the condition of being unimodular on a vector composed of values of Fox derivatives in the ring . The group is not residually finite whenever a system of elements is primitive. Supported by RFFR grant No. 96-01-01948.

Martin boundary of unlimited covering surfaces

LetW be an open Riemann surface and ap-sheeted (1<p<∞) unlimited covering surface ofW. Denote by Δ¹ (resp., ) the minimal Martin boundary ofW (resp., ). For ζ ∈ Δ, let ζ be the (cardinal) number of the set of pionts which lie over ζ and the class of open connected subsetsM ofW such thatM∪{ζ} is a minimal fine neighborhood of ζ. Our main result is the following: , where is the number of components of π^-1 M and π is the projection of ontoW. Moreover, some applications of the above results are discussed whenW is the unit disc.

Inequalities for a distribution with monotone hazard rate

Summary LetX be a positive random variable with the survival function and the densityf. LetX have the moments μ=E(X) and μ₂=E(X ²) and put ε=|1-μ₂/2μ²|. Put and . It is proved that the following inequalities hold: , for allx>0, ifq(x) is monotone and that , ifq ₁ (x) is monotone. It is also shown that Brown's inequality which holds wheneverq ₁ (x) is increasing is not valid in general whenq ₁ is decreasing. The Institute of Statistical Mathematics     

On the orders of finite semisimple groups

The aim of this paper is to investigate the order coincidences among the finite semisimple groups and to give a reasoning of such order coincidences through the transitive actions of compact Lie groups. It is a theorem of Artin and Tits that a finite simple group is determined by its order, with the exception of the groups (A₃(2), A₂(4)) and(B _n (q), C _n (q)) forn ≥ 3,q odd. We investigate the situation for finite semisimple groups of Lie type. It turns out that the order of the finite group H( ) for a split semisimple algebraic groupH defined over , does not determine the groupH up to isomorphism, but it determines the field under some mild conditions. We then put a group structure on the pairs(H ₁,H ₂) of split semisimple groups defined over a fixed field such that the orders of the finite groups H₁( ) and H₂( ) are the same and the groupsH _i have no common simple direct factors. We obtain an explicit set of generators for this abelian, torsion-free group. We finally show that the order coincidences for some of these generators can be understood by the inclusions of transitive actions of compact Lie groups.
