De Branges-Rovnyak spaces and Dirichlet spaces

Sarason has shown that the local Dirichlet spaces Dλ may be considered as manifestations of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces H(b), and has used this identification to give a new proof that the spaces Dλ are star-shaped. We investigate which other Dirichlet spaces D(μ) arise as de Branges-Rovnyak spaces, and which other de Branges-Rovnyak spaces H(b) are star-shaped. We also prove a transfer principle which represents H(b)-spaces inside Dλ.     

Tent spaces associated with semigroups of operators

We study tent spaces on general measure spaces (Ω,μ). We assume that there exists a semigroup of positive operators on Lp(Ω,μ) satisfying a monotone property but do not assume any geometric/metric structure on Ω. The semigroup plays the same role as integrals on cones and cubes in Euclidean spaces. We then study BMO spaces on general measure spaces and get an analogue of Fefferman's H¹-BMO duality theory. We also get a H¹-BMO duality inequality without assuming the monotone property. All the results are proved in a more general setting, namely for noncommutative Lp spaces.     

k-super-strongly convex and k-super-strongly smooth Banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce two types of new Banach spaces: k-super-strongly convex spaces and k-super-strongly smooth spaces. It is proved that these two notions are dual. We also prove that the class of k-super-strongly convexifiable spaces is strictly between locally k-uniformly rotund spaces and k-strongly convex spaces, and obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions of k-super-strongly convex space (respectively k-super-strongly smooth space). Also, for each k?2, it is shown that there exists a k-super-strongly convex (respectively k-super-strongly smooth) space which is not (k−1)-super-strongly convex (respectively (k−1)-super-strongly smooth) space.     

Hausdorff Operators on Function Spaces

The authors mainly study the Hausdorff operators on Euclidean space Rn.They establish boundedness of the Hausdorff operators in various function spaces,such as Lebesgue spaces,Hardy spaces,local Hardy ...     

Surface Measures and Tightness of (r,p)-Capacities on Poisson Space

We prove tightness of (r,p)-Sobolev capacities on configuration spaces equipped with Poisson measure. By using this result we construct surface measures on configuration spaces in the spirit of the Malliavin calculus. A related Gauss-Ostrogradskii formula is obtained.     

Entropy function spaces and interpolation

We associate to every function space, and to every entropy function E, a scale of spaces Λp,q(E) similar to the classical Lorentz spaces Lp,q. Necessary and sufficient conditions for they to be normed spaces are proved, their role in real interpolation theory is analyzed, and a number of applications to functional and interpolation properties of several variants of Lorentz spaces and entropy spaces are given.     

A class of Gaussian processes with fractional spectral measures

We study a family of stationary increment Gaussian processes, indexed by time. These processes are determined by certain measures σ (generalized spectral measures), and our focus here is on the case when the measure σ is a singular measure. We characterize the processes arising from σ when σ is in one of the classes of affine selfsimilar measures. Our analysis makes use of Kondratiev white noise spaces. With the use of a priori estimates and the Wick calculus, we extend and sharpen (see Theorem 7.1) earlier computations of Ito stochastic integration developed for the special case of stationary increment processes having absolutely continuous measures. We further obtain an associated Ito formula (see Theorem 8.1).     

Weakly K-analytic spaces and the three-space property for analyticity

Let (E,E^′) be a dual pair of vector spaces. The paper studies general conditions which allow to lift analyticity (or K-analyticity) from the weak topology σ(E,E^′) to stronger ones in the frame of (E,E^′). First we show that the Mackey dual of a space Cp(X) is analytic iff the space X is countable. This yields that for uncountable analytic spaces X the Mackey dual of Cp(X) is weakly analytic but not analytic. We show that the Mackey dual E of an (LF)-space of a sequence of reflexive separable Fréchet spaces with the Heinrich density condition is analytic, i.e. E is a continuous image of the Polish space NN. This extends a result of Valdivia. We show also that weakly quasi-Suslin locally convex Baire spaces are metrizable and complete (this extends a result of De Wilde and Sunyach). We provide however a large class of weakly analytic but not analytic metrizable separable Baire topological vector spaces (not locally convex!). This will be used to prove that analyticity is not a three-space property but we show that a metrizable topological vector space E is analytic if E contains a complete locally convex analytic subspace F such that the quotient E/F is analytic. Several questions, remarks and examples are included.     

Some specific unboundedness property in smoothness Morrey spaces. The non-existence of growth envelopes in the subcritical case

We study smoothness spaces of Morrey type on Rn and characterise in detail those situations when such spaces of type A_(p,q)~(s,r)(R~n) or A_(u,p,q)~s(R~n) are not embedded into L_(∞)(R~n).We can show that in the so-called sub-critical,proper Morrey case their growth envelope function is always infinite which is a much stronger assertion.The same applies for the Morrey spaces M_(u,p)(R~m) with p u.This is the first result in this direction and essentially contributes to a better understanding of the structure of the above spaces.     

Pairings of function spaces

Pairings and copairings of topological spaces induce pairings of function spaces. These induced pairings of function spaces are studied. For this purpose, the C-open topology of function spaces is studied for subcategories C of Top. It is shown that the C-open topology enjoys good properties for homotopy theory. Making use of the C-open topology, theory of induced pairings is established and fundamental results on pairings which deduce various commutativity properties of elements in homotopy set are extended to function spaces.     

On a generalized Mazur-Ulam question: Extension of isometries between unit spheres of Banach spaces

We call a Banach space X admitting the Mazur-Ulam property (MUP) provided that for any Banach space Y, if f is an onto isometry between the two unit spheres of X and Y, then it is the restriction of a linear isometry between the two spaces. A generalized Mazur-Ulam question is whether every Banach space admits the MUP. In this paper, we show first that the question has an affirmative answer for a general class of Banach spaces, namely, somewhere-flat spaces. As their immediate consequences, we obtain on the one hand that the question has an approximately positive answer: Given ε>0, every Banach space X admits a (1+ε)-equivalent norm such that X has the MUP; on the other hand, polyhedral spaces, CL-spaces admitting a smooth point (in particular, separable CL-spaces) have the MUP.     

Closed embeddings of Hilbert spaces

Motivated by questions related to embeddings of homogeneous Sobolev spaces and to comparison of function spaces and operator ranges, we introduce the notion of closely embedded Hilbert spaces as an extension of that of continuous embedding of Hilbert spaces. We show that this notion is a special case of that of Hilbert spaces induced by unbounded positive selfadjoint operators that corresponds to kernel operators in the sense of L. Schwartz. Certain canonical representations and characterizations of uniqueness of closed embeddings are obtained. We exemplify these constructions by closed, but not continuous, embeddings of Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions. An application to the closed embedding of a homogeneous Sobolev space on Rn in L₂(Rn), based on the singular integral operator associated to the Riesz potential, and a comparison to the case of the singular integral operator associated to the Bessel potential are also presented. As a second application we show that a closed embedding of two operator ranges corresponds to absolute continuity, in the sense of T. Ando, of the corresponding kernel operators.     

A note on Cesàro-Orlicz sequence spaces

The condition δ₂ in Cesàro-Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm is discussed. The comparison theorem for these spaces is presented. Some counterexamples are provided.     

The weak convergence of uniform measures

This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for the weak convergence of uniform measures on an arbitrary Hausdorff uniform space in terms of their projections in metric spaces. This result was inspired by and extends a result of Bartoszynski which characterizes the weak convergence of countably additive measures on C[0,1] in terms of their projections in finite dimensional spaces.     

A new class of function spaces connecting Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces

Let s∈R, τ∈[0,∞), p∈(1,∞) and q∈(1,∞]. In this paper, we introduce a new class of function spaces which unify and generalize the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with both p∈(1,∞) and p=∞ and Q spaces. By establishing the Carleson measure characterization of Q space, we then determine the relationship between Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and Q spaces, which answers a question posed by Dafni and Xiao in [G. Dafni, J. Xiao, Some new tent spaces and duality theorem for fractional Carleson measures and Qα(Rn), J. Funct. Anal. 208 (2004) 377-422]. Moreover, via the Hausdorff capacity, we introduce a new class of tent spaces and determine their dual spaces , where s∈R, p,q∈[1,∞), max{p,q}>1, , and t^′ denotes the conjugate index of t∈(1,∞); as an application of this, we further introduce certain Hardy-Hausdorff spaces and prove that the dual space of is just when p,q∈(1,∞).     

A note on the generalized Marcinkiewicz integral operators with rough kernels

In this paper,we study the generalized Marcinkiewicz integral operators MΩ,r on the product space Rn×Rm.Under the condition that Ω is a function in certain block spaces,which is optimal in some senses,the boundedness of such operators from Triebel-Lizorkin spaces to Lp spaces is obtained.     

Endpoint Estimates for Generalized Multilinear Fractional Integrals on the Non-homogeneous Metric Spaces

In this paper, some endpoint estimates for the generalized multilinear fractional integrals I_(α,m) on the non-homogeneous metric spaces are established.     

Composition operators induced by smooth self-maps of the real or complex unit balls

In this paper, we study the composition operator CΦ with a smooth but not necessarily holomorphic symbol Φ. A necessary and sufficient condition on Φ for CΦ to be bounded on holomorphic (respectively harmonic) weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball in Cn (respectively Rn) is given. The condition is a real version of Wogen's condition for the holomorphic spaces, and a non-vanishing boundary Jacobian condition for the harmonic spaces. We also show certain jump phenomena on the weights for the target spaces for both the holomorphic and harmonic spaces.
