Intertwining operators and soliton equations

The fermionic approach to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy, suggested by the Kyoto school (Sato, Date, Jimbo, Kashiwara, and Miwa) in 1981–4, is generalized on the basis of the idea that, in a sense, the components of intertwining operators are a generalization of free fermions forgl _∞. Integrable hierarchies related to symmetries of Kac-Moody algebras are described in terms of intertwining operators. The bosonization of these operators for various choices of the Heisenberg subalgebra is explicity written out. These various realizations result in distinct hierarchies of soliton equations. For example, forsl _N -symmetries this gives the hierarchies obtained by the (n ₁,...,n _s )-reduction from thes-component KP hierarchy introduced by Kac and van de Leur.

Unitary mappings between multiresolution analyses of L2 (R) and a parametrization of low-pass filters

This article provides classes of unitary operators of L²(R) contained in the commutant of the Shift operator, such that for any pair of multiresolution analyses of L²(R) there exists a unitary operator in one of these classes, which maps all the scaling functions of the first multiresolution analysis to scaling functions of the other. We use these unitary operators to provide an interesting class of scaling functions. We show that the Dai-Larson unitary parametrization of orthonormal wavelets is not suitable for the study of scaling functions. These operators give an interesting relation between low-pass filters corresponding to scaling functions, which is implemented by a special class of unitary operators acting on L²([−π, π)), which we characterize. Using this characterization we recapture Daubechies' orthonormal wavelets bypassing the spectral factorization process. Acknowledgements and Notes.

Toeplitz Operators and Division Theorems in Anisotropic Spaces of Holomorphic Functions in the Polydisc

This work is an introduction to anisotropic spaces, which have an ω-weight of analytic functions and are generalizations of Lipshitz classes in the polydisc. We prove that these classes form an algebra and are invariant with respect to monomial multiplication. These classes are described in terms of derivatives. It is established that Toeplitz operators are bounded in these (Lipschitz and Djrbashian) spaces. As an application, a theorem about the division by good-inner functions in the mentioned classes is proved.     

A Modal Logic That is Complete with Respect to Strictly Linearly Ordered <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-Models

An axiomatization is furnished for a polymodal logic of strictly linearly ordered A-frames: for frames of this kind, we consider a language of polymodal logic with two modal operators, □_< and □_≺. In the language, along with the operators, we introduce a constant β, which describes a basis subset. In the language with the two modal operators and constant β, an Lα-calculus is constructed. It is proved that such is complete w.r.t. the class of all strictly linearly ordered A-frames. Moreover, it turns out that the calculus in question possesses the finite-model property and, consequently, is decidable. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 5, pp. 560–582, September–October, 2005.

On Integrability of the Camassa–Holm Equation and Its Invariants

Using geometrical approach exposed in (Kersten et al. in J. Geom. Phys. 50:273–302, [2004] and Acta Appl. Math. 90:143–178, [2005]), we explore the Camassa–Holm equation (both in its initial scalar form, and in the form of 2×2-system). We describe Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, recursion operators and infinite series of symmetries and conservation laws (local and nonlocal).

δ-Derivations of simple finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras

We describe non-trivial δ-derivations of semisimple finite-dimensional Jordan algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 2, and of simple finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. For these classes of algebras and superalgebras, non-zero δ-derivations are shown to be missing for δ ≠ 0, 1/2, 1, and we give a complete account of 1/2-derivations.

The rate of convergence for spectra of GUE and LUE matrix ensembles

Algebraic sets in metabelian groups

The research launched in [1] is brought to a close by examining algebraic sets in a metabelian group G in two important cases: (1) G = F_n is a free metabelian group of rank n; (2) G = W_n,k is a wreath product of free Abelian groups of ranks n and k.

Uniform estimates in the Poincaré-Aronszajn theorem on the separation of singularities of analytic functions

We study the possibility of splitting any bounded analytic function ƒ with singularities in a closed set E ⋃ F as a sum of two bounded analytic functions with singularities in E and F respectively. We obtain some results under geometric restrictions on the sets E and F and we provide some examples showing the sharpness of the positive results.

Approximation and Complexity II: Iterated Integration

We introduce two classes of real analytic functions W \subset U on an interval. Starting with rational functions to construct functions in W we allow the application of three types of operations: addition, integration, and multiplication by a polynomial with rational coefficients. In a similar way, to construct functions in U we allow integration, addition, and multiplication of functions already constructed in U and multiplication by rational numbers. Thus, U is a subring of the ring of Pfaffian functions [7]. Two lower bounds on the L _∈fty -norm are proved on a function f from W (or from U , respectively) in terms of the complexity of constructing f .     

On hull classes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ℓ</Emphasis>-groups and covering classes of spaces

W denotes the category of archimedean ℓ-groups with designated weak unit and ℓ-homomorphisms that preserve the weak unit. Comp denotes the category of compact Hausdorff spaces with continuous maps. The Yosida functor is used to investigate the relationship between hull classes in W and covering classes in Comp. The central idea is that of a hull class whose hull operator preserves boundedness. We demonstrate how the Yosida functor may be used to identify hull classes in W and covering classes in Comp. In addition, we exhibit an array of order preserving bijections between certain families of hull classes and all covering classes, one of which was recently produced by Martínez. Lastly, we apply our results to answer a question of Knox and McGovern about the class of all feebly projectable ℓ-groups.     

On the separation of spectra in the analysis of Berezin kernels

The problem of restricting a highest weight representation of the group U(p, q) to the subgroup O(p, q) is considered. This restriction has an intricate spectrum that contains representations of different types. We construct a decomposition of this representation into reducible representations each of which has a single-type spectrum. Some integrals over classical groups are also calculated; these integrals generalize those of Hua.

Inequalities for upper bounds of functionals on the classes w r H ω and their applications

We show that the well-known results on estimates of upper bounds of functionals on the classes W ^r H ^ω of periodic functions can be regarded as a special case of Kolmogorov-type inequalities for support functions of convex sets. This enables us to prove numerous new statements concerning the approximation of the classes W ^r H ^ω , establish the equivalence of these statements, and obtain new exact inequalities of the Bernstein-Nikol’skii type that estimate the value of the support function of the class H ^ω on the derivatives of trigonometric polynomials or polynomial splines in terms of the L ^ϱ -norms of these polynomials and splines.     

Integrals in involution for groups of linear symplectic transformations and natural mechanical systems with homogeneous potential

We prove that if a complex Hamiltonian system withn degrees of freedom hasn functionally independent meromorphic first integrals in involution and the monodromy group of the corresponding variational system along some phase curve hasn pairwise skew-orthogonal two-dimensional invariant subspaces, then the restriction of the action of this group to each to these subspaces has a rational first integral. The result thus obtained is applied to natural mechanical systems with homogeneous potential, in particular, to then-body problem.

Weakly n-hyponormal Weighted Shifts and Their Examples

The gap between hyponormal and subnormal Hilbert space operators can be studied using the intermediate classes of weakly n-hyponormal and (strongly) n-hyponormal operators. The main examples for these various classes, particularly to distinguish them, have been the weighted shifts. In this paper we first obtain a characterization for a weakly n-hyponormal weighted shift W_α with weight sequence α, from which we extend some known results for quadratically hyponormal (i.e., weakly 2-hyponormal) weighted shifts to weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts. In addition, we discuss some new examples for weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts; one illustrates the differences among the classes of 2-hyponormal, quadratically hyponormal, and positively quadratically hyponormal operators.     

Stably Definable Classes of Theories

A question is studied as to which properties (classes) of elementary theories can be defined via generalized stability. We present a topological account of such classes. It is stated that some well-known classes of theories, such as strongly minimal, o-minimal, simple, etc., are stably definable, whereas, for instance, countably categorical, almost strongly minimal, ω-stable ones, are not. __________ Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 5, pp. 583–600, September–October, 2005.

On Edgeworth expansions for dependency-neighborhoods chain structures and Stein's method

Let W be the sum of dependent random variables, and h(x) be a function. This paper provides an Edgeworth expansion of an arbitrary ``length' for %E{h(W)} in terms of certain characteristics of dependency, and of the smoothness of h and/or the distribution of W. The core of the class of dependency structures for which these characteristics are meaningful is the local dependency, but in fact, the class is essentially wider. The remainder is estimated in terms of Lyapunov's ratios. The proof is based on a Stein's method.Supported in part by NSF grant DMS-98-03623Supported in part by the Russian Foundation of Basic Research, grant # 00-01-00194, and by NSF grant DMS-98-03623Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):Primary 62E20; Secondary 60E05     

Fredholm theory and finite section method for band-dominated operators

The topics of this paper are Fredholm properties and the applicability of the finite section method for band operators onl ^p -spaces as well as for their norm limits which we call band-dominated operators. The derived criteria will be established in terms of the limit operators of the given band-dominated operator. After presenting the general theory, we present its specifications to concrete classes of band-dominated operators.To the memory of Professor Mark KreinSupported by the DFG grant 436 RUS/17/148/95Supported by a DFG Heisenberg grant
