Holomorphy of spectral multipliers of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

Let γ be the Gauss measure on and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. For every p in [1,∞)?{2}, set , and consider the sector . The main results of this paper are the following. If p is in (1,∞)?{2}, and , i.e., if M is an Lp(γ)uniform spectral multiplier of in our terminology, and M is continuous on , then M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the sector . Furthermore, if p=1 a spectral multiplier M, continuous on , satisfies the condition if and only if M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the right half-plane, and its boundary value M(i·) on the imaginary axis is the Euclidean Fourier transform of a finite Borel measure on the real line. We prove similar results for uniform spectral multipliers of second order elliptic differential operators in divergence form on belonging to a wide class, which contains . From these results we deduce that operators in this class do not admit an H^∞ functional calculus in sectors smaller than .     

Geodesic currents and Teichmüller space

Consider a hyperbolic surface X of infinite area. The Liouville map assigns to any quasiconformal deformation of X a measure on the space of geodesics of the universal covering X? of X. We show that the Liouville map is a homeomorphism from the Teichmüller space onto its image, and that the image is closed and unbounded. The set of asymptotic rays to consists of all bounded measured laminations on X. Hence, the set of projective bounded measured laminations is a natural boundary for . The action of the quasiconformal mapping class group on continuously extends to this boundary for .     

On the Clark Ocone formula for the abstract Wiener space

Fix an abstract Wiener space where is a separable Hilbert space densely embedded into a Banach space . A pathwise construction of the Itô integral as a continuous square integrable martingale is given, where the integrands are -valued processes and the integrator is a -valued Brownian motion. We use this approach to the vector integral to prove that each Malliavin differentiable functional ? defined on the space of continuous -valued functions on [0,1], endowed with the Wiener measure, can be decomposed into the sum of the expected value of ? and the Itô integral of the conditional expectation of the Malliavin derivative of ? with respect to the Brownian filtration. The Malliavin derivative of ? is an -valued stochastic process. In a second application, it is shown that the iterated Itô integral, defined as a process on , is a continuous square integrable martingale.     

Malliavin calculus in abstract Wiener space using infinitesimals

Using infinitesimals, we develop Malliavin calculus on spaces which result from the classical Wiener space by replacing with any abstract Wiener space .We start from a Brownian motion b on a Loeb probability space Ω with values in the Banach space is the standard part of a ∗finite-dimensional Brownian motion B. Then we define iterated Itô integrals as standard parts of internal iterated Itô integrals. The integrator of the internal integrals is B and the values of the integrands are multilinear forms on , where is a ∗finite-dimensional linear space over between the Hilbert space and its ∗-extension .In the first part we prove a chaos decomposition theorem for L²-functionals on Ω that are measurable with respect to the σ-algebra generated by b. This result yields a chaos decomposition of L²-functionals with respect to the Wiener measure on the standard space of -valued continuous functions on [0,1]. In the second part we define the Malliavin derivative and the Skorohod integral as standard parts of internal operators defined on ∗finite-dimensional spaces. In an application we use the transformation rule for finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces to study time anticipating and non-anticipating shifts of Brownian motion by Bochner integrals (Girsanov transformations).     

Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .     

A bounded property for gradients of diffusion semigroups on Euclidean spaces

We consider uniformly elliptic diffusion processes X(t,x) on Euclidean spaces , with some conditions in terms of the drift term (see assumptions A2 and A3). By using interpolation theory, we show a bounded property which gives an estimate of involving |x| and but not ||∇f||_∞, and a power of smaller than 1.     

Caractérisation des feuilletages holomorphes singuliers, contenus dans des feuilletages Levi flat, sur les surfaces complexes compactes

Let be a holomorphic foliation with reduced singularities on a complex surface M and a real analytic codimension one foliation on M whose leaves contain the ones of . We show that a Levi flat group of diffeomorphisms of is resoluble and holomorphically conjugate to his normal form. We deduce, in one hand, that each singularity of  is conjugate to his normal form. In the other hand at each singularity m of , where is not defined, up a conjugacy, by the one form ω=xdy+ydx, one of the local invariant curves of , with non obvious holonomy, is contained in the set of singularities of . Moreover if M is a compact Stein variety we show, under some generic conditions, that has a 1-Liouvillian first integrating factor.     

Differential systems of type (1,1) on Hermitian symmetric spaces and their solutions

This paper concerns G-invariant systems of second-order differential operators on irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces G/K. The systems of type (1,1) are obtained from K-invariant subspaces of . We show that all such systems can be derived from a decomposition . Here gives the Laplace-Beltrami operator and is the celebrated Hua system, which has been extensively studied elsewhere. Our main result asserts that for G/K of rank at least two, a bounded real-valued function is annihilated by the system if and only if it is the real part of a holomorphic function. In view of previous work, one obtains a complete characterization of the bounded functions that are solutions for any system of type (1,1) which contains the Laplace-Beltrami operator.

Let G be a compact abelian group with the totally ordered dual group which admits the positive semigroup . Let N be a von Neumann algebra and be an automorphism group of on N. We denote to the analytic crossed product determined by N and α. We show that if is a maximal σ-weakly closed subalgebra of , then induces an archimedean order in .
