A gap theorem on submanifolds with finite total curvature in spheres

We study a complete noncompact submanifold Mⁿ$M^n$ in a sphere S^n+p${\mathbb{S}}^{n+p}$. We prove that there admit no nontrivial L²$L^2$-harmonic 1-forms on M if the total curvature is bounded from above by a constant depending only on n. The gap theorem is a generalized version of Carron?s, Yun?s, Cavalcante?s and the first author?s results on submanifolds in Euclidean spaces and Seo?s result on submanifolds in hyperbolic space without the condition of minimality.     

Asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave for the generalized KdV–Burgers–Kuramoto equation

In this paper, we will study the Cauchy problem for the generalized KdV–Burgers–Kuramoto equation, which represents a dissipative, stroboscopic and unstable system in physics. When the initial data is a small disturbance of a rarefaction wave of the inviscid Burgers equation, we prove the global existence of the solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem and asymptotic stability of the rarefaction wave. The analysis is based on a priori estimates and the L²$L^2$-energy method.     

Gradient estimates in Orlicz spaces for quasilinear elliptic equation

In this paper we generalize classical L^q$L^q$, q≥p$q\ge p$, estimates of the gradient to the Orlicz space for weak solutions of quasilinear elliptic equations of p-Laplacian type.     

Bernstein–Nagumo conditions and solutions to nonlinear differential inequalities

For Ω$\Omega$, an open bounded subset of R^N${\mathbb{R}}^N$ with smooth boundary and 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$, we establish W^1,p(Ω)$W^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$a priori bounds and prove the compactness of solution sets to differential inequalities of the form

|divA(x,∇u)|≤F(x,u,∇u),$\left|\text{div}A(x,\nabla u)\right|\le F(x,u,\nabla u)\text{,}$

which are bounded in L^∞(Ω)$L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$. The main point in this work is that the nonlinear term F$F$ may depend on ∇u$\nabla u$ and may grow as fast as a power of order p$p$ in this variable. Such growth conditions have been used extensively in the study of boundary value problems for nonlinear ordinary differential equations and are known as Bernstein–Nagumo growth conditions. In addition, we use these results to establish a sub-supersolution theorem.     

Some remarks on the asymptotic profiles of solutions for strongly damped wave equations on the 1-D half space

We consider a mixed problem with the Dirichlet null boundary conditions on the 1-dimensional half space (0,+∞)$(0,+\infty )$. We will derive an asymptotic profiles of the corresponding solutions in the case when the initial data belong to a weighted L^1,2(0,∞)$L^{1,2}(0,\infty )$ space by employing a method recently introduced in [7] or [8].     

Nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions for the compressible fluid models of Korteweg type

This paper is concerned with the existence and time-asymptotic nonlinear stability of traveling wave solutions to the Cauchy problem of the one-dimensional compressible fluid models of Korteweg type, which governs the motions of the compressible fluids with internal capillarity. The existence of traveling wave solutions is obtained by the phase plane analysis, then the traveling wave solution is shown to be asymptotically stable by the elementary L²$L^2$-energy method.     

Dimensional variance inequalities of Brascamp–Lieb type and a local approach to dimensional Prékopaʼs theorem

We give a new approach, inspired by Hörmander?s L²$L^2$-method, to weighted variance inequalities which extend results obtained by Bobkov and Ledoux. It provides in particular a local proof of the dimensional functional forms of the Brunn–Minkowski inequalities. We also present several applications of these variance inequalities, including reverse Hölder inequalities for convex functions, weighted Brascamp–Lieb inequalities and sharp weighted Poincaré inequalities for generalized Cauchy measures.     

Energy measures on p.c.f. self-similar sets

On connected post critically finite (p.c.f.) self-similar sets we give a linear extension method to compute the energy measures of harmonic functions with respect to the standard energy, and as an application we also compute the L²$L^2$ dimensions of these measures on some p.c.f. self-similar sets.     

The Index theorem for quasi-tori

The Index theorem for holomorphic line bundles on complex tori asserts that some cohomology groups of a line bundle vanish according to the signature of the associated hermitian form. In this article, this theorem is generalized to quasi-tori, i.e. connected complex abelian Lie groups which are not necessarily compact. In view of the Remmert–Morimoto decomposition of quasi-tori as well as the Künneth formula, it suffices to consider only Cousin-quasi-tori, i.e. quasi-tori which have no non-constant holomorphic functions. The Index theorem is generalized to holomorphic line bundles, both linearizable and non-linearizable, on Cousin-quasi-tori using L²$L^2$-methods coupled with the Kazama–Dolbeault isomorphism and Bochner–Kodaira formulas.     

A generalized Cuntz–Krieger uniqueness theorem for higher-rank graphs

We present a uniqueness theorem for k  -graph C^?$C^{?}$-algebras that requires neither an aperiodicity nor a gauge invariance assumption. Specifically, we prove that for the injectivity of a representation of a k  -graph C^?$C^{?}$-algebra, it is sufficient that the representation be injective on a distinguished abelian C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebra. A crucial part of the proof is the application of an abstract uniqueness theorem, which says that such a uniqueness property follows from the existence of a jointly faithful collection of states on the ambient C^?$C^{?}$-algebra, each of which is the unique extension of a state on the distinguished abelian C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebra.     

Poincaré type inequalities for group measure spaces and related transportation cost inequalities

Let G be a countable discrete group with an orthogonal representation α on a real Hilbert space H  . We prove _Lp$L_p$ Poincaré inequalities for the group measure space _L∞(_ΩH,γ)?G$L_{\infty }({\Omega }_H,\gamma )?G$, where both the group action and the Gaussian measure space (_ΩH,γ)$({\Omega }_H,\gamma )$ are associated with the representation α  . The idea of proof comes from Pisier?s method on the boundedness of Riesz transform and Lust-Piquard?s work on spin systems. Then we deduce a transportation type inequality from the _Lp$L_p$ Poincaré inequalities in the general noncommutative setting. This inequality is sharp up to a constant (in the Gaussian setting). Several applications are given, including Wiener/Rademacher chaos estimation and new examples of Rieffel?s compact quantum metric spaces.     

Hypergroups and invariant complemented subspaces

Let K   be a hypergroup with a Haar measure. The purpose of the present paper is to initiate a systematic approach to the study of the class of invariant complemented subspaces of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and _C0(K)$C_0(K)$, the class of left translation invariant w^?$w^{?}$-subalgebras of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and finally the class of non-zero left translation invariant C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebras of _C0(K)$C_0(K)$ in the hypergroup context with the goal of finding some relations between these function spaces. Among other results, we construct two correspondences: one, between closed Weil subhypergroups and certain left translation invariant w^?$w^{?}$-subalgebras of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$, and another, between compact subhypergroups and a specific subclass of the class of left translation invariant C^?$C^{?}$-subalgebras of _C0(K)$C_0(K)$. By the help of these two characterizations, we extract some results about invariant complemented subspaces of _L∞(K)$L_{\infty }(K)$ and _C0(K)$C_0(K)$.     

Compact covers and function spaces

For a Tychonoff space X  , we denote by _Cp(X)$C_p(X)$ and _Cc(X)$C_c(X)$ the space of continuous real-valued functions on X equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence and the compact-open topology respectively. Providing a characterization of the Lindelöf Σ-property of X   in terms of _Cp(X)$C_p(X)$, we extend Okunev?s results by showing that if there exists a surjection from _Cp(X)$C_p(X)$ onto _Cp(Y)$C_p(Y)$ (resp. from _Lp(X)$L_p(X)$ onto _Lp(Y)$L_p(Y)$) that takes bounded sequences to bounded sequences, then υY is a Lindelöf Σ-space (respectively K-analytic) if υX has this property. In the second part, applying Christensen?s theorem, we extend Pelant?s result by proving that if X is a separable completely metrizable space and Y   is first countable, and there is a quotient linear map from _Cc(X)$C_c(X)$ onto _Cc(Y)$C_c(Y)$, then Y   is a separable completely metrizable space. We study also a non-separable case, and consider a different approach to the result of J. Baars, J. de Groot, J. Pelant and V. Valov, which is based on the combination of two facts: Complete metrizability is preserved by _?p${?}_p$-equivalence in the class of metric spaces (J. Baars, J. de Groot, J. Pelant). If X   is completely metrizable and _?p${?}_p$-equivalent to a first-countable Y, then Y is metrizable (V. Valov). Some additional results are presented.
