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.     

When subset-sums do not cover all the residues modulo p

Let . We prove that a subset of , where p is a prime number, with cardinality larger than such that its subset sums do not cover has an automorphic image which is rather concentrated; more precisely, there exists s prime to p such that

     

Transportation cost inequalities on path and loop groups

Let G be a connected Lie group with the Lie algebra . The action of Cameron-Martin space on the path space P_e(G) introduced by L. Gross (Illinois J. Math. 36 (1992) 447) is free. Using this fact, we define the H-distance on P_e(G), which enables us to establish a transportation cost inequality on P_e(G). This method will be generalized to the path space over the loop group , so that we obtain a transportation cost inequality for heat measures on .     

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).     

Total domination and total domination subdivision number of a graph and its complement

A set S of vertices of a graph G=(V,E) with no isolated vertex is a total dominating set if every vertex of V(G) is adjacent to some vertex in S. The total domination numberγ_t(G) is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. The total domination subdivision numbersd_γt(G) is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided in order to increase the total domination number. We consider graphs of order n?4, minimum degree δ and maximum degree Δ. We prove that if each component of G and has order at least 3 and , then and if each component of G and has order at least 2 and at least one component of G and has order at least 3, then . We also give a result on stronger than a conjecture by Harary and Haynes.     

Verma modules over generalized Virasoro algebras Vir[G]

Let F be a field of characteristic 0, not necessarily algebraically closed, and G be an additive subgroup of F. For any total order on G which is compatible with the group addition, and for any , a Verma module over the generalized Virasoro algebra Vir[G] is defined. In the present paper, the irreducibility of Verma modules is completely determined.     

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 Gibbs measures of P-adic Potts model on the cayley tree

We consider a nearest-neighbor p-adic Potts (with q ≥ 2 spin values and coupling constant J ? _p) model on the Cayley tree of order k ≥ 1. It is proved that a phase transition occurs at k = 2, q ? p and p ≥ 3 (resp. q ? 2², p = 2). It is established that for p-adic Potts model at k ≥ 3 a phase transition may occur only at q ? p if p ≥ 3 and q ? 2² if p = 2.     

Quartic residues and binary quadratic forms

Let be a prime, m∈Z and . In this paper we obtain a general criterion for m to be a quartic residue in terms of appropriate binary quadratic forms. Let d>1 be a squarefree integer such that , where is the Legendre symbol, and let ε_d be the fundamental unit of the quadratic field . Since 1942 many mathematicians tried to characterize those primes p so that ε_d is a quadratic or quartic residue . In this paper we will completely solve these open problems by determining the value of , where p is an odd prime, and . As an application we also obtain a general criterion for , where {u_n(a,b)} is the Lucas sequence defined by and .     

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.     

Bounded tightness for locally convex spaces and spaces C(X)

We show that metrizability and bounded tightness are actually equivalent for a large class of locally convex spaces including (LF)-spaces, (DF)-spaces, the space of distributions D′(Ω), etc. A consequence of this fact is that for the bounded tightness for the weak topology of X is equivalent to the following one: X is linearly homeomorphic to a subspace of . This nicely supplements very recent results of Cascales and Raja. Moreover, we show that a metric space X is separable if the space C_p(X) has bounded tightness.     

Edges not contained in triangles and the number of contractible edges in a 4-connected graph

Let G be a 4-connected graph, and let E_c(G) denote the set of 4-contractible edges of G and let denote the set of those edges of G which are not contained in a triangle. Under this notation, we show that if , then we have .
