K?hler Manifolds with Almost Non-negative Ricci Curvature

Compact Kähler manifolds with semi-positive Ricci curvature have been investigated by various authors. From Peternell’s work, if M is a compact Kähler n-manifold with semi-positive Ricci curvature and finite fundamental group, then the universal cover has a decomposition \( \ifmmode\expandafter\tilde\else\expandafter\~\fi{M} \cong X_{1} \times \cdots \times X_{m} \), where X _j is a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a hyperKähler manifold, or X _j satisfies H ⁰(X _j , Ω ^p ) = 0. The purpose of this paper is to generalize this theorem to almost non-negative Ricci curvature Kähler manifolds by using the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. Let M be a compact complex n-manifold with non-vanishing Euler number. If for any ∈ > 0, there exists a Kähler structure (J _∈, g _∈) on M such that the volume \({\text{Vol}}_{{g_{ \in } }} {\left( M \right)} < V\), the sectional curvature |K(g _∈)| < Λ², and the Ricci-tensor Ric(g _∈)> ?∈g _∈, where V and Λ are two constants independent of ∈. Then the fundamental group of M is finite, and M is diffeomorphic to a complex manifold X such that the universal covering of X has a decomposition, \( \ifmmode\expandafter\tilde\else\expandafter\~\fi{X} \cong X_{1} \times \cdots \times X_{s} \), where X _i is a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a hyperKähler manifold, or X _i satisfies H ⁰(X _i , Ω ^p ) = {0}, p > 0.     

Bimodule and twisted representation of vertex operator algebras

In this paper, for a vertex operator algebra V with an automorphism g of order T, an admissible V-module M and a fixed nonnegative rational number n ∈1/T Z_+, we construct an A_(g,n)(V)-bimodule Ag,n(M) and study its properties, discuss the connections between bimodule A_(g,n)(M) and intertwining operators. Especially, bimodule A _(g,n)-1T(M) is a natural quotient of A_(g,n)(M) and there is a linear isomorphism between the space IM~k M Mjof intertwining operators and the space of homomorphisms HomA_(g,n)(V)(A_(g,n)(M)  A_(g,n)(V)M~j(s), M~k(t)) for s, t ≤ n, M~j, M~k are g-twisted V modules, if V is g-rational.     

On convex hull of Gaussian samples

Let X _i = {X _i (t), t ∈ T} be i.i.d. copies of a centered Gaussian process X = {X(t), t ∈ T} with values in\( {\mathbb{R}^d} \) defined on a separable metric space T. It is supposed that X is bounded. We consider the asymptotic behavior of convex hulls

$ {W_n} = {\text{conv}}\left\{ {{X_1}(t), \ldots, {X_n}(t),\,\,t \in T} \right\} $

and show that, with probability 1,

$ \mathop {{\lim }}\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{1}{{\sqrt {{2\ln n}} }}{W_n} = W $

(in the sense of Hausdorff distance), where the limit shape W is defined by the covariance structure of X: W = conv{K _t , t ∈ T}, Kt being the concentration ellipsoid of X(t). We also study the asymptotic behavior of the mathematical expectations E f(W _n ), where f is an homogeneous functional.

     

Isometries with dense windings of the torus in <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>)

Let C(M) be the space of all continuous functions on M? ?. We consider the multiplication operator T: C(M) → C(M) defined by Tf(z) = zf(z) and the torus

$$O(M) = \left\{ {f:M \to \mathbb{C} \ntrianglelefteq \left\| f \right\| = \left\| {\frac{1}{f}} \right\| = 1} \right\}$$

. If M is a Kronecker set, then the T-orbits of the points of the torus ½O(M) are dense in ½O(M) and are ½-dense in the unit ball of C(M).

     

Weak Uniform Normal Structure and Fixed Points of Asymptotically Regular Semigroups

Let X be a Banach space with a weak uniform normal structure and C a non–empty convexweakly compact subset of X. Under some suitable restriction, we prove that every asymptoticallyregular semigroup T = {T(t) : t ∈¸ S} of selfmappings on C satisfying

${\mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{S \mathrel\backepsilon t \to \infty } }{\left| {{\left\| {T(t)} \right\|}} \right|} < {\text{WCS}}(X)$

has a common fixed point, where WCS(X) is the weakly convergent sequence coefficient of X, and\({\left| {{\left\| {T(t)} \right\|}} \right|}\) is the exact Lipschitz constant of T(t).     

The Minimal Size of Infinite Maximal Antichains in Direct Products of Partial Orders

For a partial order \(\mathbb {P}\) having infinite antichains by \(\mathfrak {a}(\mathbb {P})\) we denote the minimal cardinality of an infinite maximal antichain in \(\mathbb {P}\) and investigate how does this cardinal invariant of posets behave in finite products. In particular we show that \(\min \{ \mathfrak {a}(\mathbb {P}),\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P}) \} \leq \mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P}^{n} ) \leq \mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P})\), for all \(n\in \mathbb {N}\), where \(\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P})\) is the minimal size of a centered family without a lower bound in the separative quotient of the poset \(\mathbb {P}\), or \(\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P})=\infty \), if there is no such family. So we have \(\mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P} \times \mathbb {P})=\mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P})\) whenever \(\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P})\geq \mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P})\) and we show that, in addition, this equality holds for all posets obtained from infinite Boolean algebras of size ≤ø ₁ by removing zero, all reversed trees, all atomic posets and, in particular, for all posets of the form \(\langle \mathcal {C} ,\subset \rangle \), where \(\mathcal {C}\) is a family of nonempty closed sets in a compact T ₁-space containing all singletons. As a by-product we obtain the following combinatorial statement: If X is an infinite set and {A _i ×B _i :i∈I} an infinite partition of the square X ², then at least one of the families {A _i :i∈I} and {B _i :i∈I} contains an infinite partition of X.     

Banach–Stone Theorems for maps preserving common zeros

Let X and Y be completely regular spaces and E and F be Hausdorff topological vector spaces. We call a linear map T from a subspace of C(X, E) into C(Y, F) a Banach–Stone map if it has the form T f (y) =  S _y (f (h(y))) for a family of linear operators S _y : E → F, \({y \in Y}\) , and a function h: Y → X. In this paper, we consider maps having the property:

$\bigcap^{k}_{i=1}Z(f_{i}) \neq\emptyset \iff \bigcap^{k}_{i=1}Z(Tf_{i})\neq\emptyset , \quad({\rm Z}) $

where Z(f) =  {f =  0}. We characterize linear bijections with property (Z) between spaces of continuous functions, respectively, spaces of differentiable functions (including C ^∞), as Banach–Stone maps. In particular, we confirm a conjecture of Ercan and Önal: Suppose that X and Y are realcompact spaces and E and F are Hausdorff topological vector lattices (respectively, C ^*-algebras). Let T: C(X, E) → C(Y, F) be a vector lattice isomorphism (respectively, *-algebra isomorphism) such that

$ Z(f) \neq\emptyset\iff Z(Tf) \neq\emptyset. $

Then X is homeomorphic to Y and E is lattice isomorphic (respectively, C ^*-isomorphic) to F. Some results concerning the continuity of T are also obtained.

     

On the nonexistence of solutions of some anisotropic elliptic and backward parabolic inequalities

We study the nonexistence of weak solutions of higher-order elliptic and parabolic inequalities of the following types: \(\sum {_{i = 1}^N\sum\nolimits_{{e_i} \leqslant {\alpha _i} \leqslant {m_i}} {D_{{x_i}}^{{\alpha _i}}\left( {{A_{{\alpha _i}}}\left( {x,u} \right)} \right)} \geqslant f\left( {x,u} \right),} x \in {\mathbb{R}^N}\), and \({u_t} + \sum {_{i = 1}^N\sum\nolimits_{{k_i} \leqslant {\beta _i} \leqslant {n_i}} {D_{{x_i}}^{{\beta _i}}\left( {{B_{{\beta _i}}}\left( {x,t,u} \right)} \right)} > g\left( {x,t,u} \right),\left( {x,t} \right)} \in {\mathbb{R}^N} \times {\mathbb{R}_ + }\), where l _i , m _i , k _i , n _i ∈ N satisfy the condition l _i , k _i > 1 for all i = 1,..., N, and A _αi (x, u), B _βi (x, t, u), f(x, u), and g(x, t, u) are some given Carathéodory functions. Under appropriate conditions on the functions A _αi , B _βi , f, and g, we prove theorems on the nonexistence of solutions of these inequalities.     

A characterization of the normal distribution using stationary max-stable processes

Consider a max-stable process of the form \(\eta (t) = \max _{i\in \mathbb {N}} U_{i} \mathrm {e}^{\langle X_{i}, t\rangle - \kappa (t)}\), \(t\in \mathbb {R}^{d}\), where \(\{U_{i}, i\in \mathbb {N}\}\) are points of the Poisson process with intensity u ^?2du on (0,∞), X _i , \(i\in \mathbb {N}\), are independent copies of a random d-variate vector X (that are independent of the Poisson process), and \(\kappa :\mathbb {R}^{d} \to \mathbb {R}\) is a function. We show that the process η is stationary if and only if X has multivariate normal distribution and κ(t)?κ(0) is the cumulant generating function of X. In this case, η is a max-stable process introduced by R. L. Smith.     

Removability of isolated singularities for anisotropic elliptic equations with gradient absorption

We study the well-posedness of the third-order degenerate differential equation \(\left( {{P_3}} \right):\alpha {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime \prime }}\left( t \right) + {\left( {Mu} \right)^{\prime \prime }}\left( t \right) = \beta Au\left( t \right) + f\left( t \right)\), (t ∈ [0, 2p]) with periodic boundary conditions \(Mu\left( 0 \right) = Mu\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu'\left( 0 \right) = Mu'\left( {2\pi } \right),\;Mu''\left( 0 \right) = Mu''\left( {2\pi } \right)\), in periodic Lebesgue–Bochner spaces L^p(T,X), periodic Besov spaces B_p,q^s(T,X) and periodic Triebel–Lizorkin spaces F_p,q^s(T,X), where A, B and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A) \( \cap \)D(B) ? D(M) and α, β, γ ∈ R. Using known operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems, we completely characterize the well-posedness of (P₃) in the above three function spaces.     

Exact distribution of MLE of covariance matrix in a GMANOVA-MANOVA model

For a GMANOVA-MANOVA model with normal error: Y = XB1Z1 T B2Z2 T E, E- Nq×n(0, In (?) ∑), the present paper is devoted to the study of distribution of MLE, ∑, of covariance matrix ∑. The main results obtained are stated as follows: (1) When rk(Z) -rk(Z2) ≥ q-rk(X), the exact distribution of ∑ is derived, where z = (Z1,Z2), rk(A) denotes the rank of matrix A. (2) The exact distribution of |∑| is gained. (3) It is proved that ntr{[S-1 - ∑-1XM(MTXT∑-1XM)-1MTXT∑-1]∑}has X2(q_rk(x))(n-rk(z2)) distribution, where M is the matrix whose columns are the standardized orthogonal eigenvectors corresponding to the nonzero eigenvalues of XT∑-1X.     

Sums of Fourier coefficients of cusp forms of level <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis> twisted by exponential functions

Let g be a holomorphic or Maass Hecke newform of level D and nebentypus χD, and let a _g (n) be its n-th Fourier coefficient. We consider the sum \({S_1} = \sum {_{X < n \leqslant 2X}{a_g}\left( n \right)e\left( {\alpha {n^\beta }} \right)}\) and prove that S ₁ has an asymptotic formula when β = 1/2 and α is close to \(\pm 2\sqrt {q/D}\) for positive integer q ≤ X/4 and X sufficiently large. And when 0 < β < 1 and α, β fail to meet the above condition, we obtain upper bounds of S ₁. We also consider the sum \({S_2} = \sum {_{n > 0}{a_g}\left( n \right)e\left( {\alpha {n^\beta }} \right)\phi \left( {n/X} \right)}\) with ø(x) ∈ C _c ^∞ (0,+∞) and prove that S ₂ has better upper bounds than S ₁ at some special α and β.     

Degeneracy of holomorphic curves in surfaces

LetX be a complex projective algebraic manifold of dimension 2 and let D₁, ..., D_u be distinct irreducible divisors onX such that no three of them share a common point. Let\(f:{\mathbb{C}} \to X\backslash ( \cup _{1 \leqslant i \leqslant u} D_i )\) be a holomorphic map. Assume thatu ? 4 and that there exist positive integers n₁, ... ,n_u,c such that n_in_J D _i.D_j) =c for all pairsi,j. Thenf is algebraically degenerate, i.e. its image is contained in an algebraic curve onX.     

Maharam-type kernel representation for operators with a trigonometric domination

Consider a linear and continuous operator T between Banach function spaces. We prove that under certain requirements an integral inequality for T is equivalent to a factorization of T through a specific kernel operator: in other words, the operator T has what we call a Maharam-type kernel representation. In the case that the inequality provides a domination involving trigonometric functions, a special factorization through the Fourier operator is given. We apply this result to study the problem that motivates the paper: the approximation of functions in \(L^{2}[0,1]\) by means of trigonometric series whose Fourier coefficients are given by weighted trigonometric integrals.     

Fredholmness of Toeplitz operators on generalized Hardy spaces over the polydisc

Let A be a bounded linear operator and P a bounded linear projection on a Banach space X. We show that the operator semigroup \({(e^{t(A-kP)})_{t \ge 0}}\) converges to a semigroup on a subspace of X as \({k \to \infty}\) and we compute the limit semigroup.     

Maximal invariant subspaces for a class of operators

In this note, we characterize maximal invariant subspaces for a class of operators. Let T be a Fredholm operator and \(1-TT^{*}\in\mathcal{S}_{p}\) for some p≥1. It is shown that if M is an invariant subspace for T such that dim?M ? TM<∞, then every maximal invariant subspace of M is of codimension 1 in M. As an immediate consequence, we obtain that if M is a shift invariant subspace of the Bergman space and dim?M ? zM<∞, then every maximal invariant subspace of M is of codimension 1 in M. We also apply the result to translation operators and their invariant subspaces.     

Li–Yorke chaos translation set for linear operators

In order to study Li–Yorke chaos by the scalar perturbation for a given bounded linear operator T on a Banach space X, we introduce the Li–Yorke chaos translation set of T, which is defined by \(S_{LY}(T)=\{\lambda \in {\mathbb {C}};\lambda +T \text { is Li--Yorke chaotic}\}\). In this paper, some operator classes are considered, such as normal operators, compact operators, shift operators, and so on. In particular, we show that the Li–Yorke chaos translation set of the Kalisch operator on the Hilbert space \(\mathcal {L}^2[0,2\pi ]\) is a simple point set \(\{0\}\).     

An inequality between Willmore functional and Weyl functional for submanifolds in space forms

Let \({\phi : M \to R^{n+p}(c)}\) be an n-dimensional submanifold in an (n + p)-dimensional space form R ^n+p(c) with the induced metric g. Willmore functional of \({\phi}\) is \({W(\phi) = \int_{M}(S - nH^{2})^{n/2}dv}\) , where \({S = \sum_{\alpha,i, j}(h^{\alpha}_{ij} )^2}\) is the square of the length of the second fundamental form, H is the mean curvature of M. The Weyl functional of (M, g) is \({\nu(g) = \int_{M}|W_{g}|^{n/2}dv}\) , where \({|W_{g}|^{2} = \sum_{i, j,k,l} W^{2}_{ijkl}}\) and W _ijkl are the components of the Weyl curvature tensor W _g of (M, g). In this paper, we discover an inequality relation between Willmore functional \({W(\phi)}\) and Weyl funtional ν(g).     

Eigenvalue estimates for Dirac operators in geometries with torsion

On a Riemannian spin manifold (M ⁿ , g), equipped with a non-integrable geometric structure and characteristic connection ▽ ^c with parallel torsion ▽ ^c T ^c  = 0, we can introduce the Dirac operator D ^1/3, which is constructed by lifting the affine metric connection with torsion 1/3 T ^c to the spin structure. D ^1/3 is a symmetric elliptic differential operator, acting on sections of the spinor bundle and can be identified in special cases with Kostant’s cubic Dirac operator or the Dolbeault operator. For compact (M ⁿ , g), we investigate the first eigenvalue of the operator \({\left(D^{1/3} \right)^{2}}\) . As a main tool, we use Weitzenböck formulas, which express the square of the perturbed operator D ^1/3 + S by the Laplacian of a suitable spinor connection. Here, S runs through a certain class of perturbations. We apply our method to spaces of dimension 6 and 7, in particular, to nearly Kähler and nearly parallel G ₂-spaces.     

Conjugacy classes in Möbius groups

Let \({\mathbb H^{n+1}}\) denote the n + 1-dimensional (real) hyperbolic space. Let \({\mathbb {S}^{n}}\) denote the conformal boundary of the hyperbolic space. The group of conformal diffeomorphisms of \({\mathbb {S}^{n}}\) is denoted by M(n). Let M _o (n) be its identity component which consists of all orientation-preserving elements in M(n). The conjugacy classification of isometries in M _o (n) depends on the conjugacy of T and T ^?1 in M _o (n). For an element T in M(n), T and T ^?1 are conjugate in M(n), but they may not be conjugate in M _o (n). In the literature, T is called real if T is conjugate in M _o (n) to T ^?1. In this paper we classify real elements in M _o (n). Let T be an element in M _o (n). Corresponding to T there is an associated element T _o in SO(n + 1). If the complex conjugate eigenvalues of T _o are given by \({\{e^{i\theta_j}, e^{-i\theta_j}\}, 0 < \theta_j \leq \pi, j=1,\ldots,k}\) , then {θ₁, . . . , θ _k } are called the rotation angles of T. If the rotation angles of T are distinct from each-other, then T is called a regular element. After classifying the real elements in M _o (n) we have parametrized the conjugacy classes of regular elements in M _o (n). In the parametrization, when T is not conjugate to T ^?1 , we have enlarged the group and have considered the conjugacy class of T in M(n). We prove that each such conjugacy class can be induced with a fibration structure.
