On the value distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ƒ</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">ƒ</Emphasis>′)<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let ƒ be a transcendental meromorphic function, a a nonzero finite complex number, and n ⩾ 2 a positive integer. Then ƒ + a(ƒ′) ⁿ assumes every complex value infinitely often. This answers a question of Ye for n = 2. A related normality criterion is also given.

Three classes of smooth Banach submanifolds in B(E,F)

Let E, F be two Banach spaces, and B(E, F), Φ(E, F), SΦ(E, F) and R(E,F) be the bounded linear, Fredholm, semi-Frdholm and finite rank operators from E into F, respectively. In this paper, using the continuity characteristics of generalized inverses of operators under small perturbations, we prove the following result Let ∑ be any one of the following sets {T ∈ Φ(E, F) IndexT =const, and dim N(T) = const.}, {T ∈ SΦ(E, F) either dim N(T) = const. ＜ ∞ or codim R(T) = const.＜ ∞} and {T ∈ R(E, F) RankT =const.＜∞}. Then ∑ is a smooth submanifold of B(E, F) with the tangent space TA∑ = {B ∈ B(E,F) BN(A) (∪) R(A)} for any A ∈ ∑. The result is available for the further application to Thom's famous results on the transversility and the study of the infinite dimensional geometry.     

Littlewood–Paley theorem on spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)</Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>)

We point out that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the space L ^p(t)(ℝ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ, then the well-known characterization of the spaces L ^p (ℝ), 1 < p < ∞, by the Littlewood–Paley theory extends to the space L ^p(t)(ℝ). We show that, for n > 1 , the Littlewood–Paley operator is bounded on L ^p(t) (ℝ ⁿ ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ ⁿ , if and only if p(t) = const.

Some slant submanifolds of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-manifolds

Summary We study some special types of slant submanifolds of S-manifolds related to the second fundamental form of the immersion: totally f-geodesic and f-umbilical, pseudo-umbilical and austere submanifolds. We also give several examples of such submanifolds.     

Diverse <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>=(4,4) Twisted Multiplets in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>=(2,2) Superspace

We describe four different types of N=(4, 4) twisted supermultiplets in the two-dimensional N=(2, 2) superspace ℝ^(1,1|2,2). All these multiplets are represented by a pair of chiral and twisted chiral superfields and differ in the transformation properties under an extra hidden N=(2, 2) supersymmetry. The sigma-model N=(2, 2) superfield Lagrangians for each type of the N=(4, 4) twisted supermultiplet are real functions subjected to some differential constraints implied by the hidden supersymmetry. We prove that the general sigma-model action including all types of N=(4, 4) twisted multiplets and invariant under the N=(4, 4) supersymmetry reduces to a sum of sigma-model actions for separate types. An interaction between the multiplets of different sorts is possible only through the appropriate mass terms and only for those multiplets that belong to the same “self-dual” pair. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 145, No. 1, pp. 66–86, October, 2005.     

3-Selmer groups for curves <Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> = <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis><Superscript>3</Superscript> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>

We explicitly perform some steps of a 3-descent algorithm for the curves y ² = x ³ + a, a a nonzero integer. In general this will enable us to bound the order of the 3-Selmer group of such curves.     

Consecutive customer losses in regular and oscillating <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis></Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>/1/<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> systems

We derive fast recursions to compute the probability that k or more consecutive customer losses take place during a busy period of a queue, the so called k-CCL probability, for regular and oscillating M ^X /G/1/n systems.     

Semiclassical <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> Estimates

The purpose of this paper is to use semiclassical analysis to unify and generalize L ^p estimates on high energy eigenfunctions and spectral clusters. In our approach these estimates do not depend on ellipticity and order, and apply to operators which are selfadjoint only at the principal level. They are estimates on weakly approximate solutions to semiclassical pseudodifferential equations. Submitted: May 11, 2006. Accepted: September 19, 2006.

Analysis of GI<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis></Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)//<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> systems with stochastic customer acceptance policy

We investigate GI ^X /M(n)//N systems with stochastic customer acceptance policy, function of the customer batch size and the number of customers in the system at its arrival. We address the time-dependent and long-run analysis of the number of customers in the system at prearrivals and postarrivals of batches and seen by customers at their arrival to the system, as well as customer blocking probabilities. These results are then used to derive the continuous-time long-run distribution of the number of customers in the system. Our analysis combines Markov chain embedding with uniformization and uses stochastic ordering as a way to bound the errors of the computed performance measures.      

Embedding of non-commutative <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-spaces: <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < 1

If (N,t) ({\cal N},\tau) is a finite von Neumann algebra and if (M,n) ({\cal M},\nu) is an infinite von Neumann algebra, then L_p(M,n) L_{p}({\cal M},\nu) does not Banach embed in L_p(N,t) L_{p}({\cal N},\tau) for all p ? (0,1) p\in (0,1) . We also characterize subspaces of $ L_{p}({\cal N},\tau),\ 0< p <1 $ L_{p}({\cal N},\tau),\ 0< p <1 containing a copy of l_p.

Group invariance and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-bounded operators

The Hilbert and Riesz transforms can be characterized up to scalar as the translation invariant operators that satisfy additionally certain relative invariance of conformal transformation groups. In this article, we initiate a systematic study of translation invariant operators from group theoretic viewpoints, and formalize a geometric condition that characterizes specific multiplier operators uniquely up to scalar by means of relative invariance of affine subgroups. After providing some interesting examples of multiplier operators having “large symmetry”, we classify which of these examples can be extended to continuous operators on L ^p (R ⁿ ) (1 < p < ∞). T.
