Riesz spaces of real continuous functions

An Archimedean Riesz space E is isomorphic to C(X) for some completely regular Hausdorff space X if and only if there exists a weak order unit e > 0 for which E is e-uniformly complete, e-semisimple, e-separating and 2-universally e-complete.     

Characterizations of Riesz spaces with b-property

A Riesz space E is said to have b-property if each subset which is order bounded in E^~~ is order bounded in E. The relationship between b-property and completeness, being a retract and the absolute weak topology |σ|(E^~, E) is studied. Perfect Riesz spaces are characterized in terms of b-property. It is shown that b-property coincides with the Levi property in Dedekind complete Frechet lattices.      

Riesz product spaces and representation theory

Let {E _i:i∈I} be a family of Archimedean Riesz spaces. The Riesz product space is denoted by ∏ _i∈I E_i. The main result in this paper is the following conclusion: There exists a completely regular Hausdorff spaceX such that ∏ _i∈I E_i is Riesz isomorphic toC(X) if and only if for everyi∈I there exists a completely regular Hausdorff spaceX _i such thatE _i is Riesz isomorphic toC(X _i).

The de Schipper formula and squares of Riesz spaces

In this paper we introduce and study the square mean and the geometric mean in Riesz spaces. We prove that every geometric mean closed Riesz space is square mean closed and give a counterexample to the converse. We define for positive a, b in a square mean closed Riesz space E an addition via the formulaab=sup {(cos x)a + (sin x)b: 0 x 2π},which goes back to a formula by de Schipper. In case that E is geometric mean closed this turns the mldeflying set of the positive cone of E into a lattice ordered semigroup, which in turn is the positive cone ofa Riesz space E^□. We prove, under the additional condition that E is geometric mean closed, that E^□ is Riesz isomorphic to the square of E as introduced earlier by Buskes and van Rooij.     

Riesz* homomorphisms on pre-Riesz spaces consisting of continuous functions

In the theory of operators on a Riesz space (vector lattice), an important result states that the Riesz homomorphisms (lattice homomorphisms) on C(X) are exactly the weighted composition operators. We extend this result to Riesz* homomorphisms on order dense subspaces of C(X). On those subspace we consider and compare various classes of operators that extend the notion of a Riesz homomorphism. Furthermore, using the weighted composition structure of Riesz* homomorphisms we obtain several results concerning bijective Riesz* homomorphisms. In particular, we characterize the automorphism group for order dense subspaces of C(X). Lastly, we develop a similar theory for Riesz* homomorphisms on subspace of \(C_0(X)\), for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, and apply it to smooth manifolds and Sobolev spaces.     

Maximal function and Riesz potential on p-adic linear spaces

For maximal function and Riesz potential on p-adic linear space ? _p ⁿ we give sufficient conditions of its boundedness in generalized Morrey spaces. For radial weights of special kind this condition for Riesz potential is sharp. Also we prove that if Riesz potential I ^α(f) exists at point b, then b is L ^q Lebesgue point for some q.     

On discrete and continuous quotient Riesz spaces

Order properties of quotient Riesz spaces E/N(f) by null ideals N(f) are investigated. We show relationships between properties of a Riesz space E and its order dual E ^~ and properties of quotients E/N(f) where f runs over some subspaces of E ^~. A characterization of metrizable locally convex topological Riesz spaces whose all quotients (by proper closed ideals) are discrete is also given.     

Banach-Stone theorems and Riesz algebras

Let X, Y be compact Hausdorff spaces and let E, F be both Banach lattices and Riesz algebras. In this paper, the following main result shall be proved: If F has no zero-divisor and there exists a Riesz algebraic isomorphism such that Φ(f) has no zero if f has none, then X is homeomorphic to Y and E is Riesz algebraically isomorphic to F.     

Unbounded order continuous operators on Riesz spaces

In this paper, using the concept of unbounded order convergence in Riesz spaces, we define new classes of operators, named unbounded order continuous (uo-continuous, for short) and boundedly unbounded order continuous operators. We give some conditions under which uo-continuity will be equivalent to order continuity of some operators on Riesz spaces. We show that the collection of all uo-continuous linear functionals on a Riesz space E is a band of \(E^\sim \).     

On Riesz spaces with b-property and strongly order bounded operators

A Riesz space E is said to have the b-property if each subset that is order bounded in the bidual remains to be order bounded in E. Properties of a Riesz space with the b-property, the relationship between the b-property and various classes of operators are studied.     

A relation between spaces implied by their t-equivalence

We prove that if X and Y are t-equivalent spaces (that is, if Cp(X) and Cp(Y) are homeomorphic), then there are spaces Zn, locally closed subspaces Bn of Zn, and locally closed subspaces Yn of Y, n∈N⁺, such that each Zn admits a perfect finite-to-one mapping onto a closed subspace of Xn, Yn is an image under a perfect mapping of Bn, and Y=?{Yn:n∈N⁺}. It is deduced that some classes of spaces, which for metric spaces coincide with absolute Borelian classes, are preserved by t-equivalence. Also some limitations on the complexity of spaces t-equivalent to “nice” spaces are obtained.     

Integral mappings between Banach spaces

We consider the classes of “Grothendieck-integral” (G-integral) and “Pietsch-integral” (P-integral) linear and multilinear operators (see definitions below), and we prove that a multilinear operator between Banach spaces is G-integral (resp. P-integral) if and only if its linearization is G-integral (resp. P-integral) on the injective tensor product of the spaces, together with some related results concerning certain canonically associated linear operators. As an application we give a new proof of a result on the Radon-Nikodym property of the dual of the injective tensor product of Banach spaces. Moreover, we give a simple proof of a characterization of the G-integral operators on C(K,X) spaces and we also give a partial characterization of P-integral operators on C(K,X) spaces.     

Riesz potentials and integral geometry in the space of rectangular matrices

Riesz potentials on the space of rectangular n×m matrices arise in diverse “higher rank” problems of harmonic analysis, representation theory, and integral geometry. In the rank-one case m=1 they coincide with the classical operators of Marcel Riesz. We develop new tools and obtain a number of new results for Riesz potentials of functions of matrix argument. The main topics are the Fourier transform technique, representation of Riesz potentials by convolutions with a positive measure supported by submanifolds of matrices of rank<m, the behavior on smooth and L^p functions. The results are applied to investigation of Radon transforms on the space of real rectangular matrices.     

A conjecture of Palamodov about the functors Ext in the category of locally convex spaces

In 1971 Palamodov proved that in the category of locally convex spaces the derived functors Ext^k(E,X) of Hom(E,·) all vanish if E is a (DF)-space, X is a Fréchet space, and one of them is nuclear. He conjectured a “dual result”, namely that Ext^k(E,X)=0 for all if E is a metrizable locally convex space, X is a complete (DF)-space, and one of them is nuclear. Assuming the continuum hypothesis we give a complete answer to this conjecture: If X is an infinite-dimensional nuclear (DF)-space, then

(1)

There is a normed space E such that Ext¹(E,X)≠0.

(2)

where is a countable product of lines.

(3)

Ext^k(E,X)=0 for all k?3 and all locally convex spaces E.

     

A theorem of Riesz type with Pettis integrals in topological vector spaces

Let X be a locally convex Hausdorff space and let C₀(S,X) be the space of all continuous functions f:S→X, with compact support on the locally compact space S. In this paper we prove a Riesz representation theorem for a class of bounded operators T:C₀(S,X)→X, where the representing integrals are X-valued Pettis integrals with respect to bounded signed measures on S. Under the additional assumption that X is a locally convex space, having the convex compactness property, or either, X is a locally convex space whose dual X^′ is a barrelled space for an appropriate topology, we obtain a complete identification between all X-valued Pettis integrals on S and the bounded operators T:C₀(S,X)→X they represent. Finally we give two illustrations of the representation theorem proved, in the particular case when X is the topological dual of a locally convex space.     

Boundedness of Riesz transforms for elliptic operators on abstract Wiener spaces

Let (E,H,μ) be an abstract Wiener space and let D_V:=VD, where D denotes the Malliavin derivative and V is a closed and densely defined operator from H into another Hilbert space . Given a bounded operator B on , coercive on the range , we consider the operators A:=V^*BV in H and in , as well as the realisations of the operators and in L^p(E,μ) and respectively, where 1<p<∞. Our main result asserts that the following four assertions are equivalent:

(1) with for ;

(2) admits a bounded H^∞-functional calculus on ;

(3) with for ;

(4) admits a bounded H^∞-functional calculus on .

Moreover, if these conditions are satisfied, then . The equivalence (1)–(4) is a non-symmetric generalisation of the classical Meyer inequalities of Malliavin calculus (where , V=I, ). A one-sided version of (1)–(4), giving L^p-boundedness of the Riesz transform in terms of a square function estimate, is also obtained. As an application let −A generate an analytic C₀-contraction semigroup on a Hilbert space H and let −L be the L^p-realisation of the generator of its second quantisation. Our results imply that two-sided bounds for the Riesz transform of L are equivalent with the Kato square root property for A. The boundedness of the Riesz transform is used to obtain an L^p-domain characterisation for the operator L.

One characterization of symmetry

In this note we present one characterization of symmetry of probability distributions in Euclidean spaces which is formulated as follows. Let X and Y be independent and identically distributed random elements in a separable Euclidean space E. If Ee^h|X|<∞, h>0, then the distribution of X is symmetric if and only if E|(X−Y,t)|^p=E|(X+Y,t)|^p for some 0<p<2 and for any t∈E. The criterion is not correct when at least one of the conditions 0<p<2 or Ee^h|X|<∞ breaks.
