On some properties of the metric subalgebras ofℓ ∞

The objects studied are the subalgebras of which contain c_o. These are isometrically isomorphic to the algebras C( ) where is a compactification of a discrete denumerable set N . It is shown: 1) If is metric then there is a projection of norm 1, P: C( ) C( ) with kernel c_o defined by PF = f o where is a retraction of onto = – N . 2) If is metric, then the group of homeomorphisms of is isomorphic to a complete group of permutations of the natural numbers . 3) The group of homeomorphisms of a compact metric space is the homomorphic image of a complete group of permutations of ("complete" means "no outer automorphisms, trivial center").     

Singular perturbations in foliations

Summary We define a constraint system , [0,₀), which is a kind of family of vector fields on a manifold. This is a generalized version of the family of the equations , [0,₀),x ^m ,y ⁿ . Finally, we prove a singular perturbation theorem for the system , [0,₀).Dedicated to Professor Kenichi Shiraiwa on his 60th birthday

Solvability of partial differential equations of infinite order in certain classes of entire functions

In this paper it is shown that under conditions of applicability of the operator to the class [,] =(I,s), ₂ 1, ₂), ₁, ₂< the equation y=f has a particular solution of this class vf[, ]. The general form of a solution of the homogeneous equation y=0 is established. The growth of a solution is investigated by means of a system of conjugate orders and a system of conjugate types. A solvability result is also obtained in the class , where T is a certain set in R ₊ ² depending on the operator .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 19, No. 2, pp. 225–236, February, 1976.In conclusion, the author would like to express his thanks to his adviser, Yu.

Inequalities for the distribution of a sum of functions of independent random variables

Let where ₁,..., n are independent random variables and the are functions (e.g., taking the values 0 and 1). For cases when almost all the summands forming are equal to 0 with a probability close to 1, estimates from above and below are obtained for the quantity P{=0}, as well as upper estimates for the distance in variation between the distribution , and the distribution of the approximating sum of independent random variables.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 745–758, November, 1977.The author is grateful to V. G. Mikhailov for numerous discussions of the results of this paper and for his help in carrying out the tedious auxiliary calculations.     

Positive vector bundles and harmonic maps

Sunto Si provano alcuni risultati sul carattere analitico complesso di applicazioni armoniche fra varietà Kähleriane, utilizzando due differenti tecniche entrambe basate sulla teoria dei fibrati positivi: nel caso compatto, si usa uno sviluppo generalizato alla Bochner- Kodaira del Laplaciano complesso , utilizzando il fatto che, se f: N M è armonica, allora f è una (0, 1) -forma - armonica a valori nel fibrato indotto E=f^*[TM]_1,0; nel caso aperto, se f è stabile, il problema viene ricondotto allo studio dell'equazione con stime L² pesate: sotto opportune ipotesi, il fibrato E può essere dotato di una struttura di fibrato olomorfo positivo che trasforma in .     

Partition continue de l'unite et c-repletion

To every continuous partition of unity = (_i)_iI we associate a subspace øT of T containing T which itself is a k_R-space. We show that T is the intersection of the øT's and C_c(T) is the inductive limit of the algebras where ø runs over the set ø of all continuous partitions of unity and where is the family of compacts sets 0} \} ^\beta $$ " align="middle" border="0"> of øT. This shows that the algebra of continuous functions over a c-replete space endowed with the compact open topology is the topological inductive limit of complete algebras. Finally, we give a new class of c-replete spaces.

The C-regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Dirichlet problem: is proved, using a comparison principle of L with a Hörmander's type operator X _j ^* X_j, where is a smooth bounded open subset of Rⁿ, and is a second-order degenerate elliptic operator with smooth coefficients, satisfying the so-called Fefferman-Phong's condition.     

Divergence of a Random Walk Through Deterministic and Random Subsequences

Let {S _n} _n0 be a random walk on the line. We give criteria for the existence of a nonrandom sequence n _i for which respectively We thereby obtain conditions for to be a strong limit point of {S _n} or {S _n /n}. The first of these properties is shown to be equivalent to for some sequence a _i , where T(a) is the exit time from the interval [–a,a]. We also obtain a general equivalence between and for an increasing function fand suitable sequences n _i and a _i. These sorts of properties are of interest in sequential analysis. Known conditions for and (divergence through the whole sequence n) are also simplified.     

Limiting Laws for Entrance Times of Critical Mappings of a Circle

A renormalization group transformation R ₁ has a single stable point in the space of the analytic circle homeomorphisms with a single cubic critical point and with the rotation number (the golden mean). Let a homeomorphism T be the C ¹-conjugate of . We let denote the sequence of distribution functions of the time of the kth entrance to the nth renormalization interval for the homeomorphism T. We prove that for any , the sequence has a finite limiting distribution function , which is continuous in , and singular on the interval [0,1]. We also study the sequence for k>1.

Fast-decaying potentials on the finite-gap background and the\bar \partial - problem on the Riemann surfaces

The direct and the inverse scattering problems for the heat-conductivity operator are studied for the following class of potentials:u(x,y)=u _o (x,y)+u ₁(x,y), whereu _o (x,y) is a nonsingular real finite-gap potential andu ₁(x,y) decays sufficiently fast asx ²+y². We show that the scattering data for such potentials is the data on the Riemann surface corresponding to the potentialu _o (x,y). The scattering data corresponding to real potentials is characterized and it is proved that the inverse problem corresponding to such data has a unique nonsingular solution without the small norm assumption. Analogs of these results for the fixed negative energy scattering problem for the two-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger operator are obtained.L. D.

Infimal generators and dualities between complete lattices

Summary We give some applications of infimal generators of complete lattices, in the sense of Kutateladze and Rubinov [12], to the study of dualities between two complete lattices E and F (i.e., mappings : E F satisfying for all and all index sets I, including the empty set I=Ø). We give some additional results for E=(2^X, ), F=(2^W, ) and E=(¯R^X, ), F=(¯R^W, ) (where X and W are arbitrary sets), with suitable families of infimal generators. We obtain some lattice- theoretic properties of the relations of [22] between dualities : (2^X, ) (2^W, ), binary relations X×W, polarities (): (2^X, ) (2^W, ), coupling functionals : X×W ¯R and Fenchel-Moreau conjugations c():(¯R^X, ) (¯R^W,).     

Attracting properties for one dimensional flows of a general barotropic viscous fluid. Periodic flows

Summary We consider the motion of a barotropic compressible fluid in a one dimensional bounded region with impermeable boundary, see equation (1.1). Here, u(t, q) denotes the velocity and v(t, q) the specific volume. The quantity log v(t, q) measures the displacement of v(t, q) with respect to the equilibrium v 1. For the sake of brevity we denote here different norms by the simbol . We show that there is a positive constant r₀=r₀(), a small ball B₁ (r) (with radius R₁ (r), ), and a large ball B(r) (with radius R(r), ) such that the following holds, for each r [0, r₀ [(i) If f(t) < r for all t 0, and if (u(0), log v(0))R(r) (i.e. (u(0), log v(0)) B(r)) then, for sufficiently large values of t, (u(t), log v(t))R₁ (r); (ii) The solutions starting at time t=0 from the large ball B(r) have all the same asymptotic behaviour (see (1.11)); (iii) If f is T-periodic then there is a (unique) T-periodic solution (u(t), log v(t)) inside the small ball B₁ (r). This periodic solution atracts all solutions which intersect the large ball B(r). Periodic solutions had been previously studied only for very specific pressure laws, namely p(v)-log v and p(v)-v^–1.

We consider partially ordered sets of interpretability types such as , and , where AD is a variety of -divisible Abelian groups with unique taking of the pth root _p(x) for every p , is a variety of -modules over a normal field , contained in , and G_n is a variety of n-groupoids defined by a cyclic permutation (12 ...n). We prove that , and are distributive lattices, with and where ub and ub_f are lattices (w.r.t. inclusion) of all subsets of the set and of finite subsets of , respectively.Deceased.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 198–210, March–April, 2005.
