On mappings preserving orthogonality of non-singular vectors

Letq be a regular quadratic form on a vector space (V,F) and letf be the bilinear form associated withq. Then, \(\dot V: = \{ z \in V|q(z) \ne 0\} \) is the set of non-singular vectors ofV, and forx, y ∈ \(\dot V\) , ?(x, y) ?f(x, y) ²/(q(x) · q(y)) is theq-measure of (x, y), where ?(x,y)=0 means thatx, y are orthogonal. For an arbitrary mapping \(\sigma :\dot V \to \dot V\) we consider the functional equations $$\begin{gathered} (I)\sphericalangle (x,y) = 0 \Leftrightarrow \sphericalangle (x^\sigma ,y^\sigma ) = 0\forall x,y \in \dot V, \hfill \\ (II)\sphericalangle (x,y) = \sphericalangle (x^\sigma ,y^\sigma )\forall x,y \in \dot V, \hfill \\ (III)f(x,y)^2 = f(x^\sigma ,y^\sigma )^2 \forall x,y \in \dot V, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ and we state conditions on (V,F,q) such thatσ is induced by a mapping of a well-known type. In case of dimV ∈N?{0, 1, 2} ∧ ∣F∣ > 3, each of the assumptions (I), (II), (III) implies that there exist aρ-linear injectionξ :V →V and a fixed λ ∈F?{0} such thatF x ^σ =F x ^ξ ?x ∈ \(\dot V\) andf(x ^ξ,y ^ξ)=λ · (f(x, y))^ρ ?x, y ∈V. Moreover, (II) implies ρ =id _F ∧q(x ^ξ) = λ ·q(x) ?x ∈ \(\dot V\) , and (III) implies ρ=id _F ∧ λ ∈ {1,?1} ∧x ^σ ∈ {x ^ξ, ?x ^ξ} ?x ∈ \(\dot V\) . Other results obtained in this paper include the cases dimV = 2 resp. dimV ?N resp. ∣F∣ = 3.     

When is the radical associated with a module a torsion?

For an arbitrary R-module M we consider the radical (in the sense of Maranda)G _M, namely, the largest radical among all radicalsG, such thatG(M). We determine necessary and sufficient on M in order for the radicalG(M) to be a torsion. In particular,G(M) is a torsion if and only if M is a pseudo-injective module.     

О факториэации и о нулях преобраэовании Фуряе бесконечно дифференцируемых функции с компактным носителем

LetF denote the class of Fourier transforms of infinitely differentiable functions on the real line with compact support. We prove that if each zero of a functionF ∈ $F \in \mathcal{F}$ lies in the union of a horizontal strip with a finite number of semistrips, them a factorizationF=F ₁ F ₂ holds, where $F_1 ,F_2 \in \mathcal{F}$ . We give estimates of |F ₁(z)/F ₂(z)| from above and from below. The zero sets of functions fromF are described in terms of integral sequences.     

Multifractal analysis of the divergence of Fourier series: The extreme cases

We study the size, in terms of the Hausdorff dimension, of the subsets of T such that the Fourier series of a generic function in L ¹(T), L ^p (T), or C(T) may behave badly. Genericity is related to the Baire Category Theorem or the notion of prevalence. This paper is a continuation of [3].     

Simple algebras of Weyl type

Over a fieldF of arbitrary characteristic, we define the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type on the same vector spaceA[D] =A?F[D] from any pair of a commutative associative algebra,A with an identity element and the polynomial algebraF[D] of a commutative derivation subalgebraD ofA We prove thatA[D], as a Lie algebra (modulo its center) or as an associative algebra, is simple if and only ifA isD-simple andA[D] acts faithfully onA. Thus we obtain a lot of simple algebras.

Ein Approximationssatz für holomorphe Funktionen auf nicht-kompakten Riemannschen Flächen

Let R be a non-compact Riemann surface andO(R) the algebra of all holomorphic functions on R. A subalgebraA ?O(R) is calledfull (“voll”), if (F1) for every point ??R there is a function f∈A with a simple zero at ? and no other zeros; (F2) if f, g∈A and f/g has no poles, then f/∈A. In 1971 Ian RICHARDS set the problem whether full subalgebras are dense inO(R), with respect to the topology of compact convergence. We answer this question in the positive, using a lemma of I. RICHARDS and theorems of R. ARENS and the author. Does this approximation theorem remain true for Stein manifolds of dimension n>1, if one modifies condition (F1) in a natural way? A counterexample is provided by a domain of holomorphy G??² and a full, but not dense subalgebraA ?O(G).     

On σ-algebras related to the measurability of compositions

Given a measurable space (T, F), a set X, and a map ?: T → X, the σ-algebras N _Ф = ?_?∈Φ N _?, and M _Φ = ?_?∈Φ N _?, where G _?(t) = (t, ?(t)) and Φ ? X ^T , are considered. These σ-algebras are used to characterize the (F, B, ?)-measurability of the compositions g ○ ? and f о G _?, where g: X → Y, f: T × X → Y, and (Y, ?) is a measurable space. Their elements are described without using the operations ? ^?1 and G _? ^?1 .     

Lie superalgebras whose enveloping algebras satisfy a non-matrix polynomial identity

Let L be a Lie superalgebra with its enveloping algebra U(L) over a field F. A polynomial identity is called non-matrix if it is not satisfied by the algebra of 2×2 matrices over F. We characterize L when U(L) satisfies a non-matrix polynomial identity. We also characterize L when U(L) is Lie solvable, Lie nilpotent, or Lie super-nilpotent.     

Essential normality for certain finite linear combinations of linear-fractional composition operators on the Hardy space H 2

In 1999 Nina Zorboska and in 2003 P. S.Bourdon, D. Levi, S.K.Narayan and J.H. Shapiro investigated the essentially normal composition operator ${C_\varphi }$ , when φ is a linear-fractional self-map of D. In this paper first, we investigate the essential normality problem for the operator T _w ${C_\varphi }$ on the Hardy space H ², where w is a bounded measurable function on ?D which is continuous at each point of F(φ), φ ∈ S(2), and T _w is the Toeplitz operator with symbol w. Then we use these results and characterize the essentially normal finite linear combinations of certain linear-fractional composition operators on H ².     

On the eigenvalues of the Sturm-Liouville operator with potentials from Sobolev spaces

We study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues the Sturm-Liouville operator Ly = ?y″ + q(x)y with potentials from the Sobolev space W ₂ ^θ?1 , θ ≥ 0, including the nonclassical case θ ∈ [0, 1) in which the potential is a distribution. The results are obtained in new terms. Let s _2k (q) = λ _k ^1/2 (q) ? k, s _2k?1(q) = μ _k ^1/2 (q) ? k ? 1/2, where {λ _k } ₁ ^∞ and {μ _k } ₁ ^∞ are the sequences of eigenvalues of the operator L generated by the Dirichlet and Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, respectively,. We construct special Hilbert spaces t ₂ ^θ such that the mapping F:W ₂ ^θ?1 →t ₂ ^θ defined by the equality F(q) = {s _n } ₁ ^∞ is well defined for all θ ≥ 0. The main result is as follows: for θ > 0, the mapping F is weakly nonlinear, i.e., can be expressed as F(q) = Uq + Φ(q), where U is the isomorphism of the spaces W ₂ ^θ?1 and t ₂ ^θ , and Φ(q) is a compact mapping. Moreover, we prove the estimate ∥Ф(q)∥_τ ≤ C∥q∥_θ?1, where the exact value of τ = τ(θ) > θ ? 1 is given and the constant C depends only on the radius of the ball ∥q∥_θ? ≤ R, but is independent of the function q varying in this ball.     

Finite union theorem with restrictions

The aim of this paper is to prove the following extension of the Folkman-Rado-Sanders Finite Union Theorem: For every positive integersr andk there exists a familyL of sets having the following properties:

1. ifS ₁,S ₂, ...,S _{k + 1} are distinct pariwise disjoint elements ofL then there exists nonemptyI ? {1, 2, ...,k + 1} with ∪ _i∈I S _i ?L
2. ifL =L ₁ ?...?L _r is an arbitrary partition then there existsj ≤ r and pairwise disjoint setsS ₁,S ₂, ...,S _k ∈L _j , such thatL _i∈I S _i ∈L _j for every nonemptyI ? {1, 2, ...,k}.

Let A be an arrangement of n pseudolines in the real projective plane and let p ₃(A) be the number of triangles of A. Grünbaum has proposed the following question. Are there infinitely many simple arrangements of straight lines with p ₃(A)=1/3n(n?1)? In this paper we answer this question affirmatively.     

A limit theorem for matrix-solutions of Hamiltonian systems

The following limit theorem on Hamiltonian systems (resp. corresponding Riccati matrix equations) is shown: Given(N, N)-matrices,A, B, C andn ∈ {1,…, N} with the following properties:A and kemelB(x) are constant, rank(I, A, …, A ^n?1) B(x)≠N,B(x)∈C _n(R), andB(x)(A ^T)^j-1 C(x)∈C _n-j(R) forj=1, …, n. Then \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to x_0 } \eta _1^T \left( x \right)V\left( x \right)U^{ - 1} \left( x \right)\eta _2 \left( x \right) = d_1^T \left( {x_0 } \right)U\left( {x_0 } \right)d_2 \) forx ₀∈R, whenever the matricesU(x), V(x) are a conjoined basis of the differential systemU′=AU + BV, V′=CU?A ^TV, and whenever η_i(x)∈R ^N satisfy η_i(x ₀)=U(x ₀)d _i ∈ imageU(x ₀) η′_i-Aη_ni(x) ∈ imageB(x),B(x)(η′_i(x)-Aη_i(x)) ∈C _n-1 R fori=1,2.     

A generalization of the katona theorem for crosst-intersecting families

LetX be ann-element set and letA and? be families of subsets ofX. We say thatA and? are crosst-intersecting if |A ∩ B| ≥ t holds for all A ∈A and for allB ∈ ?. Suppose thatA and ? are crosst-intersecting. This paper first proves a crosst-intersecting version of Harper's Theorem:

1. There are two crosst-intersecting Hamming spheresA ₀,? ₀ with centerX such that |A| ≤ |A ₀| and|?| ≤ |? ₀| hold.
2. Suppose thatt ≥ 2 and that the pair of integers (|A) is maximal with respect to direct product ordering among pairs of crosst-intersecting families. Then,A and? are Hamming spheres with centerX.

Using these claims, the following conjecture of Frankl is proven:

1. Ifn + t = 2k ? 1 then |A| |?| ≤ max \(\left\{ {\left( {K_k^n + \left( {_{k - 1}^{n - 1} } \right)} \right)^2 ,K_k^n K_{k - 1}^n } \right\}\) holds, whereK _l ⁿ is defined as \(\left( {_n^n } \right)\left( {_{n - 1}^n } \right) + \cdots + \left( {_l^n } \right).\)
2. Ifn + t = 2k then |A| |? ≤ (K _k ⁿ )² holds.

The extremal configurations are also determined.     

Isometric factorization of weakly compact operators and the approximation property

Using an isometric version of the Davis, Figiel, Johnson, and Pe?czyński factorization of weakly compact operators, we prove that a Banach spaceX has the approximation property if and only if, for every Banach spaceY, the finite rank operators of norm ≤1 are dense in the unit ball ofW(Y,X), the space of weakly compact operators fromY toX, in the strong operator topology. We also show that, for every finite dimensional subspaceF ofW(Y,X), there are a reflexive spaceZ, a norm one operatorJ:Y→Z, and an isometry Φ :F →W(Y,X) which preserves finite rank and compact operators so thatT=Φ(T) oJ for allT∈F. This enables us to prove thatX has the approximation property if and only if the finite rank operators form an ideal inW(Y,X) for all Banach spacesY.     

Interpolation in certain Hilbert spaces of analytic functions

In this article we study, for a Hilbert spaceB of analytic functions in the open unit disk, the dependence of the structure of the space of sequencesB(Z)={{f(z_k)} _k=1 ^∞ :f∈B} on the choice of the sequence Z={z_k} _k=1 ^∞ of distinct points of the unit disk [6].     

Criteria for the injectivity of analytic sheaves

It is shown that a moduleL over the sheafO of germs of holomorphic functions on a domain G of Cⁿ is injective if and only if the following conditions are satisfied; a)L is flabby; b) for every closed set S ?G and every point z λ G, the stalk se _z of the sheafS ^L;U1→Γ S ^(U:L) is an injectiveO _z -module. It follows in particular that the sheaf of germs of hyperfunctions is injective over the sheaf of germs of analytic functions.
