On topologization of transfinite convergence of sequences of real functions

Summary Let κ be an infinite regular cardinal. We are concerned with the question when the κ-convergence is topologyzable. In particular, we show that if<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode"'>cis regular then<span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode"'>c-convergence is topologyzable by the <<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode"'>c-box topology on R^R. Thus under CH the transfinite convergence is topologyzable. On the other hand, under MA+?CH the transfinite convergence is not topologyzable.     

On the curvature of a generalization of contact metric manifolds

Summary We consider a genaralization of contact metric manifolds given by assignment of 1-formsη¹, . . . ,η^sand a compatible metric gon a manifold. With some integrability conditions they are called almost<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Monotype Corsiva"; mso-bidi-font-family:"Monotype Corsiva"'>S-manifolds. We give a sufficient condition regarding the curvature of an almost<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Monotype Corsiva";mso-bidi-font-family: "Monotype Corsiva"'>S-manifold to be locally isometric to a product of a Euclidean space and a sphere.     

Oscillation criteria for nonlinear second order differential equations with damping

Summary Using the integral average method, we give some new oscillation criteria for the second order differential equation with damped term (a(t)Ψ(x(t))K(x'(t)))'+p(t)K(x'(t))+q(t)f(x(t))=0, t<span style='font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode"'>≧t₀. These results improve and generalize the oscillation criteria in<span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>[1], because they eliminate both the differentiability of p(t) and the sign of p(t), q(t). As a consequence, improvements of Sobol's type oscillation criteria are obtained.     

Totally geodesic submanifolds in Lie groups

Summary We study minimal and totally geodesic submanifolds in Lie groups and related problems. We show that: (1) The imbedding of the Grassmann manifold G_F(n,N) in the Lie group G_F(N) defined naturally makes G_F(n,N) a totally geodesic submanifold; (2) The imbedding S⁷→SO(8) defined by octonians makes S⁷a totally geodesic submanifold inSO(8); (3) The natural inclusion of the Lie group G_F(N) in the sphere S^{cN^2-1}(√N) of gl(N,F)is minimal. Therefore the natural imbedding G_F(N)<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode"'>→gl(N,F)is formed by the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on G_F(N).     

Strongly θ-b-continuous functions

Summary We introduce a new class of functions called strongly θ-b-continuous function which is a generalization of both strongly θ-precontinuous functions<span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt; mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>[16]and strongly θ-semicontinuous functions [7]. Some characterizations and several properties concerning strongly θ-b-continuous functions are obtained.     

On centralizers of standard operator algebras and semisimple H*-algebras

Summary Let Abe a semisimple H*-algebra and let T: A→Abe an additive mapping such that T(x ^{n +1})<span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>=T(x)x ⁿ+x ⁿ T(x) holds for all x∈Aand some integer n≥1. In this case Tis a left and a right centralizer.     

A Turán type inequality for rational functions with prescribed poles

Summary By employing a novel idea and simple techniques, we substantially generalize the Turán type inequality for rational functions with real zeros and prescribed poles established by Min [5] to include L^pspaces for 1≤p≤∞<span style='font-size:10.0pt'>while loosing the restriction ρ > 2 at the same time.     

A note on absolute summability factors

The regular p-gonal prism tilings and their optimal hyperball packings in the hyperbolic 3-space

Summary We investigate the regular p-gonal prism tilings (mosaics) in the hyperbolic 3-space that were classified by I. Vermes in<span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt; mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>[12]and [13]. The optimal hyperball packings of these tilings are generated by the ``inscribed hyperspheres' whose metric data can be calculated by our method -- based on the projective interpretation of the hyperbolic geometry -- by the volume formulas of J. Bolyai and R. Kellerhals, respectively. We summarize in some tables the data and the densities of the optimal hyperball packings to each prism tiling in the hyperbolic space H³.     

A note on a result by M. Bognár concerning the Hahn--Mazurkiewicz Theorem

Summary In this note we use Theorem 2.4 in<span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US'>[1]to give a very short proof of a recent result due to M. Bognár (Theorem A in [3]). We also prove that Bognár's result is in fact equivalent to the classical Hahn-Mazurkiewicz Theorem. Finally we give generalizations in the non-compact setting.     

Mappings preserving some geometrical figures

We introduce new characterizations of linear isometries. More precisely, we prove that if a one-to-one mapping f : Rⁿ →Rⁿ (n > 1) maps the periphery of every regular triangle (quadrilateral or hexagon) of side length a > 0 onto the periphery of a figure of the same type with side length b > 0, then there exists a linear isometry I : Rⁿ →Rⁿ up to translation such that f(x) = (b/a) I(x). This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

SOME MULTIPLIER THEOREMS FOR ANISOTROPIC HARDY SPACES ——In Memory of Professor Yongsheng Sun

Let A be a symmetric expansive matrix and Hp(Rn) be the anisotropic Hardy space associated with A. For a function m in L∞(Rn), an appropriately chosen function η in Cc∞(Rn) and j ∈ Z define mj(ξ) = m(Ajξ)η(ξ). The authors show that if 0 ＜ p ＜ 1 and (m)j belongs to the anisotropic nonhomogeneous Herz space K11/p-1,p(Rn), then m is a Fourier multiplier from Hp(Rn) to Lp(Rn). For p = 1, a similar result is obtained if the space K10,1(Rn) is replaced by a slightly smaller space K(w).Moreover, the authors show that if 0 ＜ p ≤ 1 and if the sequence {(mj)V} belongs to a certain mixednorm space, depending on p, then m is also a Fourier multiplier from Hp(Rn) to Lp(Rn).     

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.

The Dichotomy Between Traces on d-sets F in R^n and the Density of D（R^n／Г） in Function Spaces

A space Apq^s （R^n） with A ： B or A = F and s ∈R, 0 〈 p, q 〈 ∞ either has a trace in Lp（Г）, where Г is a compact d-set in R^n with 0 〈 d 〈 n, or D（R^n／Г） is dense in it. Related dichotomy numbers are introduced and calculated.     

Toeplitz operators related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators

In this paper, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and Lipschitz function b ε (ℝⁿ) is discussed from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), , and from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to Triebel-Lizorkin space . We also obtain the boundedness of generalized Toeplitz operator Θ _α0 ^b from L ^p(ℝⁿ) to L ^q(ℝⁿ), . All the above results include the corresponding boundedness of commutators. Moreover, the boundedness of Toeplitz operator T _b(f) related to strongly singular Calderón-Zygmund operators and BMO function b is discussed on L ^p(ℝⁿ), 1 < p < ∞.
