Homomorphisms with respect to a function

Let X be a realcompact space and ${H:C(X)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}}$ be an identity and order preserving group homomorphism. It is shown that H is an evaluation at some point of X if and only if there is ${\varphi\in C(\mathbb{R})}$ with ${\varphi(r)>\varphi(0)}$ for all ${r\in\mathbb{R}-\{0\}}$ for which ${H\circ\varphi=\varphi\circ H}$ . This extends (and unifies) classical results by Hewitt and Shirota.     

A generalisation of the Hopf construction and harmonic morphisms into {\mathbb {S}^2}

In this paper, we construct a new family of harmonic morphisms ${\varphi:V^5\to\mathbb{S}^2}In this paper, we construct a new family of harmonic morphisms j:V⁵?\mathbbS²{\varphi:V^5\to\mathbb{S}^2}, where V ⁵ is a 5-dimensional open manifold contained in an ellipsoidal hypersurface of \mathbbC⁴ = \mathbbR⁸{\mathbb{C}^4\,=\,\mathbb{R}^8}. These harmonic morphisms admit a continuous extension to the completion V^*5{{V^{\ast}}^5}, which turns out to be an explicit real algebraic variety. We work in the context of a generalization of the Hopf construction and equivariant theory.     

A Nonlocal Diffusion Equation whose Solutions Develop a Free Boundary

Let J:\mathbbR ? \mathbbRJ:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} be a nonnegative, smooth compactly supported function such that ò_\mathbbR J(r)dr = 1. \int_\mathbb{R} {J(r)dr = 1.} We consider the nonlocal diffusion problem

Composition Followed by Differentiation Between H ∞ and Zygmund Spaces

Let j{\varphi} be an analytic self-map of the unit disk \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}}, H(\mathbbD){H(\mathbb{D})} the space of analytic functions on \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} and g ? H(\mathbbD){g \in H(\mathbb{D})}. The boundedness and compactness of the operator DC_j : H^￥ ? Z{DC_\varphi : H^\infty \rightarrow { \mathcal Z}} are investigated in this paper.     

Complex cycles on algebraic models of smooth manifolds

Every compact smooth manifold M is diffeomorphic to the set X(\mathbbR){X(\mathbb{R})} of real points of a nonsingular projective real algebraic variety X, which is called an algebraic model of M. Each algebraic cycle of codimension k on the complex variety X_\mathbbC=X×_\mathbbR\mathbbC{X_{\mathbb{C}}=X\times_{\mathbb{R}}\mathbb{C}} determines a cohomology class in H^2k(X(\mathbbR);\mathbbD){H^{2k}(X(\mathbb{R});\mathbb{D})} , where \mathbbD{\mathbb{D}} denotes \mathbbZ{\mathbb{Z}} or \mathbbQ{\mathbb{Q}} . We investigate the behavior of such cohomology classes as X runs through the class of algebraic models of M.     

New Besov-type spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces including Q spaces

Let ${s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}}Let s, t ? \mathbbR{s,\,\tau\in\mathbb{R}} and q ? (0,￥]{q\in(0,\infty]} . We introduce Besov-type spaces [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} for p ? (0, ￥]{p\in(0,\,\infty]} and Triebel–Lizorkin-type spaces [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) for p ? (0, ￥){{{{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}\,{\rm for}\, p\in(0,\,\infty)} , which unify and generalize the Besov spaces, Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces. We then establish the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of these new spaces in the sense of Frazier and Jawerth. Using the j{\varphi} -transform characterization of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\, {\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} , we obtain their embedding and lifting properties; moreover, for appropriate τ, we also establish the smooth atomic and molecular decomposition characterizations of [(B)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ) and [(F)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{\dot B}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}\,{\rm and}\, {{\dot F}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}} . For s ? \mathbbR{s\in\mathbb{R}} , p ? (1, ￥), q ? [1, ￥){p\in(1,\,\infty), q\in[1,\,\infty)} and t ? [0, \frac1(max{p, q})￠]{\tau\in[0,\,\frac{1}{(\max\{p,\,q\})'}]} , via the Hausdorff capacity, we introduce certain Hardy–Hausdorff spaces B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} and prove that the dual space of B[(H)\dot]^s, t_p, q(\mathbbRⁿ){{{{B\dot{H}^{s,\,\tau}_{p,\,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}}}} is just [(B)\dot]^-s, t_p￠, q￠(\mathbbRⁿ){\dot{B}^{-s,\,\tau}_{p',\,q'}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} , where t′ denotes the conjugate index of t ? (1,￥){t\in (1,\infty)} .     

Some presentations of the real number field

It is proved that every two Σ-presentations of an ordered field \mathbbR \mathbb{R} of reals over \mathbbH\mathbbF ( \mathbbR ) \mathbb{H}\mathbb{F}\,\left( \mathbb{R} \right) , whose universes are subsets of \mathbbR \mathbb{R} , are mutually Σ-isomorphic. As a consequence, for a series of functions f:\mathbbR ? \mathbbR f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} (e.g., exp, sin, cos, ln), it is stated that the structure \mathbbR \mathbb{R} = 〈R, +, ×, <, 0, 1, f〉 lacks such Σ-presentations over \mathbbH\mathbbF ( \mathbbR ) \mathbb{H}\mathbb{F}\,\left( \mathbb{R} \right) .     

The coherence of complemented ideals in the space of real analytic functions

We characterize when an ideal of the algebra ${A(\mathbb{R}^d)}We characterize when an ideal of the algebra A(\mathbbR^d){A(\mathbb{R}^d)} of real analytic functions on \mathbbR^d{\mathbb{R}^d} which is determined by the germ at \mathbb R^d{\mathbb {R}^d} of a complex analytic set V is complemented under the assumption that either V is homogeneous or V?\mathbbR^d{V\cap \mathbb{R}^d} is compact. The characterization is given in terms of properties of the real singularities of V. In particular, for an arbitrary complex analytic variety V complementedness of the corresponding ideal in A(\mathbbR^d){A(\mathbb{R}^d)} implies that the real part of V is coherent. We also describe the closed ideals of A(\mathbbR^d){A(\mathbb{R}^d)} as sections of coherent sheaves.     

Entropy bounds and second cohomology

When X is a finite complex and p₁X\pi_{1}X acts on \mathbbR²{\mathbb{R}}^2 by translations we give criteria involving H²X for an equivariant map F : [(X)\tilde] ? \mathbbR²F : \tilde{X} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^2 to be onto. Following work of Manning and Shub, this leads to entropy bounds related to Shub’s entropy conjecture.     

Counting Ω-ideals

Let ${\mathbb{A}}Let \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} be a universal algebra of signature Ω, and let I{\mathcal{I}} be an ideal in the Boolean algebra P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} of all subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} . We say that I{\mathcal{I}} is an Ω-ideal if I{\mathcal{I}} contains all finite subsets of \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} and f(Aⁿ) ? I{f(A^{n}) \in \mathcal{I}} for every n-ary operation f ? W{f \in \Omega} and every A ? I{A \in \mathcal{I}} . We prove that there are 2^2à₀{2^{2^{\aleph_0}}} Ω-ideals in P_\mathbbA{\mathcal{P}_{\mathbb{A}}} provided that \mathbbA{\mathbb{A}} is countably infinite and Ω is countable.     

Numerical verification of condition for approximately midconvex functions

Let X be a normed space and V be a convex subset of X. Let a\colon \mathbbR₊ ? \mathbbR₊{\alpha \colon \mathbb{R}_+ \to \mathbb{R}_+}. A function f \colon V ? \mathbbR{f \colon V \to \mathbb{R}} is called α-midconvex if

Functional inequalities related to Mahler’s conjecture

Extending a result of Meyer and Reisner (Monatsh Math 125:219–227, 1998), we prove that if g: \mathbbR? \mathbbR₊{g: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}_+} is a function which is concave on its support, then for every m > 0 and every z ? \mathbbR{z\in\mathbb{R}} such that g(z) > 0, one has

Relative universality and universality obtained by adding constants

A variety ${\mathbb{V}}${\mathbb{V}} is var-relatively universal if it contains a subvariety \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} such that the class of all homomorphisms that do not factorize through any algebra in \mathbbW{\mathbb{W}} is algebraically universal. And \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} if adding α nullary operations to all algebras in \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} gives rise to a class a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} of algebras that is algebraically universal. The first two authors have conjectured that any varrelative universal variety \mathbbV{\mathbb{V}} has an algebraically universal α-expansion a\mathbbV{\alpha\mathbb{V}} . This note contains a more general result that proves this conjecture.     

Lifting of convex functions on Carnot groups and lack of convexity for a gauge function

Let ${\mathbb{G}}Let \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}} be a Carnot group of step r and m generators and homogeneous dimension Q. Let \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}} denote the free Lie group of step r and m generators. Let also p:\mathbbF_m,r?\mathbbG{\pi:\mathbb{F}_{m,r}\to\mathbb{G}} be a lifting map. We show that any horizontally convex function u on \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}} lifts to a horizontally convex function u°p{u\circ \pi} on \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}} (with respect to a suitable horizontal frame on \mathbbF_m,r{\mathbb{F}_{m,r}}). One of the main aims of the paper is to exhibit an example of a sub-Laplacian L=?_j=1^m X_j²{\mathcal{L}=\sum_{j=1}^m X_j^2} on a Carnot group of step two such that the relevant L{\mathcal{L}}-gauge function d (i.e., d ^2-Q is the fundamental solution for L{\mathcal{L}}) is not h-convex with respect to the horizontal frame {X ₁, . . . , X _m }. This gives a negative answer to a question posed in Danielli et al. (Commun. Anal. Geom. 11 (2003), 263–341).     

On some inequalities for Doob decompositions in Banach function spaces

Let ${\Phi : \mathbb{R} \to [0, \infty)}Let F: \mathbbR ? [0, ￥){\Phi : \mathbb{R} \to [0, \infty)} be a Young function and let f = (f_n)_n ? \mathbbZ₊{f = (f_n)_n\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}} be a martingale such that F(f_n) ? L₁{\Phi(f_n) \in L_1} for all n ? \mathbbZ₊{n \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}} . Then the process F(f) = (F(f_n))_n ? \mathbbZ₊{\Phi(f) = (\Phi(f_n))_n\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}} can be uniquely decomposed as F(f_n)=g_n+h_n{\Phi(f_n)=g_n+h_n} , where g=(g_n)_n ? \mathbbZ₊{g=(g_n)_n\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}} is a martingale and h=(h_n)_n ? \mathbbZ₊{h=(h_n)_n\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}} is a predictable nondecreasing process such that h ₀ = 0 almost surely. The main results characterize those Banach function spaces X such that the inequality ||h_￥||_X ￡ C ||F(Mf) ||_X{\|{h_{\infty}}\|_{X} \leq C \|{\Phi(Mf)} \|_X} is valid, and those X such that the inequality ||h_￥||_X ￡ C ||F(Sf) ||_X{\|{h_{\infty}}\|_{X} \leq C \|{\Phi(Sf)} \|_X} is valid, where Mf and Sf denote the maximal function and the square function of f, respectively.     

Metrizability of the space of {\mathbb{R}} -places of a real function field

For n = 1, the space of ${\mathbb{R}}For n = 1, the space of \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} -places of the rational function field \mathbbR(x₁,?, x_n){\mathbb{R}(x_1,\ldots, x_n)} is homeomorphic to the real projective line. For n ≥ 2, the structure is much more complicated. We prove that the space of \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} -places of the rational function field \mathbbR(x, y){\mathbb{R}(x, y)} is not metrizable. We explain how the proof generalizes to show that the space of \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} -places of any finitely generated formally real field extension of \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} of transcendence degree ≥ 2 is not metrizable. We also consider the more general question of when the space of \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} -places of a finitely generated formally real field extension of a real closed field is metrizable.     

Sharp Kolmogorov-type inequalities for norms of fractional derivatives of multivariate functions

An ODE’s Version of the Formula of Baker, Campbell, Dynkin and Hausdorff and the Construction of Lie Groups with Prescribed Lie Algebra

If ${\mathcal{L} = {\sum_{j=1}^m} {X_j^2} + X_0}If L = ?_j=1^m X_j² + X₀{\mathcal{L} = {\sum_{j=1}^m} {X_j^2} + X_0} is a H?rmander partial differential operator in \mathbbR^N{\mathbb{R}^N}, we give sufficient conditions on the vector fields X _j ’s for the existence of a Lie group structure \mathbbG = (\mathbbR^N, *){\mathbb{G} = (\mathbb{R}^N, *)} (and we exhibit its construction), not necessarily nilpotent nor homogeneous, such that L{\mathcal{L}} is left invariant on \mathbbG{\mathbb{G}}. The main tool is a formula of Baker-Campbell-Dynkin-Hausdorff type for the ODE’s naturally related to the system of vector fields {X ₀, . . . , X _m }. We provide a direct proof of this formula in the ODE’s context (which seems to be missing in literature), without invoking any result of Lie group theory, nor the abstract algebraic machinery usually involved in formulas of Baker-Campbell-Dynkin-Hausdorff type. Examples of operators to which our results apply are also furnished.     

Linear Maps Preserving Operators of Local Spectral Radius Zero

Let X be a complex Banach space and let B(X){\mathcal{B}(X)} be the space of all bounded linear operators on X. For x ? X{x \in X} and T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X)}, let r_T(x) = limsup_{n ? ￥} || Tⁿx|| ^1/n{r_{T}(x) =\limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \| T^{n}x\| ^{1/n}} denote the local spectral radius of T at x. We prove that if j: B(X) ? B(X){\varphi : \mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(X)} is linear and surjective such that for every x ? X{x \in X} we have r _T (x) = 0 if and only if r_j(T)(x) = 0{r_{\varphi(T)}(x) = 0}, there exists then a nonzero complex number c such that j(T) = cT{\varphi(T) = cT} for all T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X) }. We also prove that if Y is a complex Banach space and j:B(X) ? B(Y){\varphi :\mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(Y)} is linear and invertible for which there exists B ? B(Y, X){B \in \mathcal{B}(Y, X)} such that for y ? Y{y \in Y} we have r _T (By) = 0 if and only if r_{j( T)} (y)=0{ r_{\varphi ( T) }(y)=0}, then B is invertible and there exists a nonzero complex number c such that j(T) = cB^-1TB{\varphi(T) =cB^{-1}TB} for all T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X)}.
