Boundedness and unboundedness results for some maximal operators on functions of bounded variation

We characterize the space BV(I) of functions of bounded variation on an arbitrary interval I⊂R, in terms of a uniform boundedness condition satisfied by the local uncentered maximal operator MR from BV(I) into the Sobolev space W1,1(I). By restriction, the corresponding characterization holds for W1,1(I). We also show that if U is open in Rd, d>1, then boundedness from BV(U) into W1,1(U) fails for the local directional maximal operator , the local strong maximal operator , and the iterated local directional maximal operator . Nevertheless, if U satisfies a cone condition, then boundedly, and the same happens with , , and MR.

On maximal injective subalgebras of tensor products of von Neumann algebras

Let Mi be a von Neumann algebra, and Bi be a maximal injective von Neumann subalgebra of Mi, i=1,2. If M₁ has separable predual and the center of B₁ is atomic, e.g., B₁ is a factor, then is a maximal injective von Neumann subalgebra of . This partly answers a question of Popa.     

Sharp estimates for the non-centered maximal operator associated to Gaussian and other radial measures

In this work we investigate the integrability properties of the maximal operator M_μ, associated with a non-doubling measure μ defined on the Euclidean space , with special emphasis on the Gaussian and similar measures. Among other results we show for a wide class of radial and decreasing measures μ, that M_μ satisfies the modular inequality

     

On maximal functions for Mikhlin-Hörmander multipliers

Given Mikhlin-Hörmander multipliers , with uniform estimates we prove an optimal bound in L^p for the maximal function and related bounds for maximal functions generated by dilations. These improve the results in [M. Christ, L. Grafakos, P. Honzík, A. Seeger, Maximal functions associated with multipliers of Mikhlin-Hörmander type, Math. Z. 249 (2005) 223-240].     

A note on the maximal coefficients of squares of Newman polynomials

In a recent paper [G. Yu, An upper bound for B₂[g] sets, J.

If we denote by (#pi) the number of non-zero coefficients of pi, and let be the maximal coefficient of , then

Parabolic mean values and maximal estimates for gradients of temperatures

We aim to prove inequalities of the form for solutions of on a domain Ω=D×R⁺, where δ(x,t) is the parabolic distance of (x,t) to parabolic boundary of Ω, is the one-sided Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in the time variable on R⁺, is a Calderón-Scott type d-dimensional elliptic maximal operator in the space variable on the domain D in Rd, and 0<λ<k<λ+d. As a consequence, when D is a bounded Lipschitz domain, we obtain estimates for the Lp(Ω) norm of δ2n−λn(∇2,1)u in terms of some mixed norm for the space with denotes the Besov norm in the space variable x and where .

A numerical characterization of the S2-ification of a Rees algebra

Let A be a local ring with maximal ideal . For an arbitrary ideal I of A, we define the generalized Hilbert coefficients . When the ideal I is -primary, j_k(I)=(0,…,0,(−1)^ke_k(I)), where e_k(I) is the classical kth Hilbert coefficient of I. Using these coefficients we give a numerical characterization of the homogeneous components of the S₂-ification of S=A[It,t⁻¹], extending previous results obtained by the author to not necessarily -primary ideals.

New examples of maximal space like surfaces in the anti-de Sitter space

Let be the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. In this paper we will construct new examples of complete maximal space like surfaces in . Moreover, we will prove that any complete maximal space like surface in with principal curvatures ±κ bounded away from zero must be isometric to the hyperbolic cylinder. Since the new examples that we have constructed have exactly two principal curvatures everywhere, we conclude that the condition on the principal curvatures on the previous result, i.e. the condition |κ(m)|>c>0, cannot be replaced by the condition |κ(m)|>0.

Graphs with the second largest number of maximal independent sets

Let G be a simple undirected graph. Denote by (respectively, xi(G)) the number of maximal (respectively, maximum) independent sets in G. Erd?s and Moser raised the problem of determining the maximum value of among all graphs of order n and the extremal graphs achieving this maximum value. This problem was solved by Moon and Moser. Then it was studied for many special classes of graphs, including trees, forests, bipartite graphs, connected graphs, (connected) triangle-free graphs, (connected) graphs with at most one cycle, and recently, (connected) graphs with at most r cycles. In this paper we determine the second largest value of and xi(G) among all graphs of order n. Moreover, the extremal graphs achieving these values are also determined.
