Sharp real-part theorems in the upper halfplane and similar estimates for harmonic functions

Explicit formulas for sharp coefficients in estimates of the modulus of an analytic function and its derivative in the upper half-plane are found. It is assumed that the boundary values of the real part of the function are in L ^p . As corollaries, sharp estimates for the modulus of the gradient of a harmonic function in \mathbb R₊² {\mathbb R}_{+}^2 are deduced. Besides, a representation for the best constant in the estimate of the modulus of the gradient of a harmonic function in \mathbb R₊ⁿ {\mathbb R}_{+}^n by the L ^p -norm of the boundary normal derivative is given, 1 \leqslant p \leqslant ￥ 1 \leqslant p \leqslant \infty . This representation is formulated in terms of an optimization problem on the unit sphere which is solved for p ∈ [1, n]. Bibliography: 6 titles.     

Heat flows for a nonconvex Signorini type problem in $$ {\mathbb{R}^{N}} $$

We prove the existence of a global heat flow u : Ω ×  \mathbbR⁺ ? \mathbbR^N {\mathbb{R}^{+}} \to {\mathbb{R}^{N}}, N > 1, satisfying a Signorini type boundary condition u(∂Ω ×  \mathbbR⁺ {\mathbb{R}^{+}}) ⊂  \mathbbRⁿ {\mathbb{R}^{n}}), n \geqslant 2 n \geqslant 2 , and \mathbbR^N {\mathbb{R}^{N}}) with boundary ∂ [`(W)] \bar{\Omega } such that φ(∂Ω) ⊂ \mathbbR^N {\mathbb{R}^{N}} is given by a smooth noncompact hypersurface S.

Extending the Thorin class

We prove that the Thorin class $ {T_\kappa }\left( {{\mathbb{R}_{+} }} \right),\kappa > 0 $ {T_\kappa }\left( {{\mathbb{R}_{+} }} \right),\kappa > 0 , is the minimal class of probability distributions on \mathbbR₊ {\mathbb{R}_{+} } that is closed under convolutions and weak limits and contains the Tweedie distributions Tw_(κ+1)/κ (μ, λ), μ > 0, λ > 0.     

Almost Periodicity of Parabolic Evolution Equations with Inhomogeneous Boundary Values

We show the existence and uniqueness of the (asymptotically) almost periodic solution to parabolic evolution equations with inhomogeneous boundary values on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} and \mathbbR_±\mathbb{R}_{\pm}, if the data are (asymptotically) almost periodic. We assume that the underlying homogeneous problem satisfies the ‘Acquistapace–Terreni’ conditions and has an exponential dichotomy. If there is an exponential dichotomy only on half intervals ( − ∞, − T] and [T, ∞), then we obtain a Fredholm alternative of the equation on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}} in the space of functions being asymptotically almost periodic on \mathbbR₊{\mathbb{R}}_{+} and \mathbbR_-\mathbb{R}_{-}.     

The affine preservers of non-singular matrices

When \mathbbK{\mathbb{K}} is an arbitrary field, we study the affine automorphisms of M_n(\mathbbK){{\rm M}_n(\mathbb{K})} that stabilize GL_n(\mathbbK){{\rm GL}_n(\mathbb{K})}. Using a theorem of Dieudonné on maximal affine subspaces of singular matrices, this is easily reduced to the known case of linear preservers when n > 2 or # ${\mathbb{K} > 2}${\mathbb{K} > 2}. We include a short new proof of the more general Flanders theorem for affine subspaces of M_p,q(\mathbbK){{\rm M}_{p,q}(\mathbb{K})} with bounded rank. We also find that the group of affine transformations of M₂(\mathbbF₂){{\rm M}_2(\mathbb{F}_2)} that stabilize GL₂(\mathbbF₂){{\rm GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_2)} does not consist solely of linear maps. Using the theory of quadratic forms over \mathbbF₂{\mathbb{F}_2}, we construct explicit isomorphisms between it, the symplectic group Sp₄(\mathbbF₂){{\rm Sp}_4(\mathbb{F}_2)} and the symmetric group \mathfrakS₆{\mathfrak{S}_6}.     

Voronovskaja-Type Results in Compact Disks for Quaternion q-Bernstein Operators, q ≥ 1

Attaching to a compact disk [`(\mathbbD<sub>r</sub>)]{\overline{\mathbb{D}_{r}}} in the quaternion field \mathbbH{\mathbb{H}} and to some analytic function in Weierstrass sense on [`(\mathbbD_r)]{\overline{\mathbb{D}_{r}}} the so-called q-Bernstein operators with q ≥ 1, Voronovskaja-type results with quantitative upper estimates are proved. As applications, the exact orders of approximation in [`(\mathbbD_r)]{\overline{\mathbb{D}_{r}}} for these operators, namely \frac1n{\frac{1}{n}} if q = 1 and \frac1qⁿ{\frac{1}{q^{n}}} if q > 1, are obtained. The results extend those in the case of approximation of analytic functions of a complex variable in disks by q-Bernstein operators of complex variable in Gal (Mediterr J Math 5(3):253–272, 2008) and complete the upper estimates obtained for q-Bernstein operators of quaternionic variable in Gal (Approximation by Complex Bernstein and Convolution-Type Operators, 2009; Adv Appl Clifford Alg, doi:, 2011).     

Metric Flips with Calabi Ansatz

We study the limiting behavior of the K?hler–Ricci flow on \mathbbP(O_\mathbbPⁿ ?O_\mathbbPⁿ(-1)^?(m+1)){{\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n} \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}(-1)^{\oplus(m+1)})}} for m, n ≥ 1, assuming the initial metric satisfies the Calabi symmetry. We show that the flow either shrinks to a point, collapses to \mathbbPⁿ{{\mathbb{P}^n}} or contracts a subvariety of codimension m + 1 in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense. We also show that the K?hler–Ricci flow resolves a certain type of cone singularities in the Gromov–Hausdorff sense.     

Singular del Pezzo surfaces that are equivariant compactifications

We determine which singular del Pezzo surfaces are equivariant compactifications of \mathbbG_\texta² \mathbb{G}_{\text{a}}^2 , to assist with proofs of Manin’s conjecture for such surfaces. Additionally, we give an example of a singular quartic del Pezzo surface that is an equivariant compactification of \mathbbG_\texta {\mathbb{G}_{\text{a}}} ⋊ \mathbbG_\textm {\mathbb{G}_{\text{m}}} .

Automorphisms of a finitary factor power of an infinite symmetric group

We consider a semigroup FP_\textfin⁺ ( \mathfrakS_\textfin( \mathbbN ) ) FP_{\text{fin}}^{+} \left( {{\mathfrak{S}_{\text{fin}}}\left( \mathbb{N} \right)} \right) defined as a finitary factor power of a finitary symmetric group of countable order. It is proved that all automorphisms of FP_\textfin⁺ ( \mathfrakS_\textfin( \mathbbN ) ) FP_{\text{fin}}^{+} \left( {{\mathfrak{S}_{\text{fin}}}\left( \mathbb{N} \right)} \right) are induced by permutations from \mathfrakS( \mathbbN ) \mathfrak{S}\left( \mathbb{N} \right) .     

Optimal Embeddings of Spaces of Generalized Smoothness in the Critical Case

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for embeddings of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of generalized smoothness B^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)B^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and F^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)F^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), respectively, into generalized H?lder spaces L_￥,r^m(·)( \mathbb Rⁿ)\Lambda_{\infty,r}^{\mu(\cdot)}(\ensuremath {\ensuremath {\mathbb {R}}^{n}}). In particular, we are able to characterize optimal embeddings for this class of spaces provided q>1. These results improve the embedding assertions given by the continuity envelopes of B^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)B^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and F^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)F^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), which were obtained recently solving an open problem of D.D. Haroske in the classical setting.     

Absolutely convergent fourier series. An improvement of the Beurling-Helson theorem

We consider the space A(\mathbbT)A(\mathbb{T}) of all continuous functions f on the circle \mathbbT\mathbb{T} such that the sequence of Fourier coefficients [^(f)] = { [^(f)]( k ), k ? \mathbbZ }\hat f = \left\{ {\hat f\left( k \right), k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right\} belongs to l ¹(ℤ). The norm on A(\mathbbT)A(\mathbb{T}) is defined by || f ||_A(\mathbbT) = || [^(f)] ||_{l¹ (\mathbbZ)}\left\| f \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = \left\| {\hat f} \right\|_{l^1 (\mathbb{Z})}. According to the well-known Beurling-Helson theorem, if f:\mathbbT ? \mathbbT\phi :\mathbb{T} \to \mathbb{T} is a continuous mapping such that || e^inf ||_A(\mathbbT) = O(1)\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = O(1), n ∈ ℤ then φ is linear. It was conjectured by Kahane that the same conclusion about φ is true under the assumption that || e^inf ||_A(\mathbbT) = o( log| n | )\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\log \left| n \right|} \right). We show that if $\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\left( {{{\log \log \left| n \right|} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\log \log \left| n \right|} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right)^{1/12} } \right)$\left\| {e^{in\phi } } \right\|_{A(\mathbb{T})} = o\left( {\left( {{{\log \log \left| n \right|} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\log \log \left| n \right|} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\log \log \log \left| n \right|}}} \right)^{1/12} } \right), then φ is linear.     

Bi-Parametric Potentials, Relevant Function Spaces and Wavelet-Like Transforms

We introduce new potential type operators J^a_b = (E+(-D)^b/2)^-a/bJ^{\alpha}_{\beta} = (E+(-\Delta)^{\beta/2})^{-\alpha/\beta}, (α > 0, β > 0), and bi-parametric scale of function spaces H^a_{b, p}(\mathbbRⁿ)H^{\alpha}_{\beta , p}({\mathbb{R}}^n) associated with J^α_β. These potentials generalize the classical Bessel potentials (for β = 2), and Flett potentials (for β = 1). A characterization of the spaces H^a_{b, p}(\mathbbRⁿ)H^{\alpha}_{\beta, p}({\mathbb{R}}^n) is given with the aid of a special wavelet–like transform associated with a β-semigroup, which generalizes the well-known Gauss-Weierstrass semigroup (for β = 2) and the Poisson one (for β = 1).     

Modular Lie algebras and the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}Let \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field \mathbbK\mathbb{K} of characteristic 0. Let \mathfrakg_\mathbbZ{\mathfrak{g}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}} be a Chevalley ℤ-form of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} and \mathfrakg_\Bbbk=\mathfrakg_\mathbbZ?_\mathbbZ\Bbbk{\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}={\mathfrak{g}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}}\otimes _{{\mathbb{Z}}}\Bbbk, where \Bbbk\Bbbk is the algebraic closure of  \mathbbF_p{\mathbb{F}}_{p}. Let G_\BbbkG_{\Bbbk} be a simple, simply connected algebraic \Bbbk\Bbbk-group with \operatornameLie(G_\Bbbk)=\mathfrakg_\Bbbk\operatorname{Lie}(G_{\Bbbk})={\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}. In this paper, we apply recent results of Rudolf Tange on the fraction field of the centre of the universal enveloping algebra U(\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)U({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) to show that if the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture (from 1966) holds for \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}}, then for all p≫0 the field of rational functions \Bbbk (\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)\Bbbk ({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk}) is purely transcendental over its subfield \Bbbk(\mathfrakg_\Bbbk)^G_\Bbbk\Bbbk({\mathfrak{g}}_{\Bbbk})^{G_{\Bbbk}}. Very recently, it was proved by Colliot-Thélène, Kunyavskiĭ, Popov, and Reichstein that the field of rational functions \mathbbK(\mathfrakg){\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}}) is not purely transcendental over its subfield \mathbbK(\mathfrakg)^\mathfrakg{\mathbb{K}}({\mathfrak{g}})^{\mathfrak{g}} if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B _n , n≥3, D _n , n≥4, E₆, E₇, E₈ or F₄. We prove a modular version of this result (valid for p≫0) and use it to show that, in characteristic 0, the Gelfand–Kirillov conjecture fails for the simple Lie algebras of the above types. In other words, if \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is of type B _n , n≥3, D _n , n≥4, E₆, E₇, E₈ or F₄, then the Lie field of \mathfrakg{\mathfrak{g}} is more complicated than expected.     

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.     

Stable systolic category of manifolds and the cup-length

It follows from a theorem of Gromov that the stable systolic category cat_stsys M{\rm cat}_{\rm stsys} M of a closed manifold M is bounded from below by cl_\mathbbQ M{\rm cl}_{\mathbb{Q}} M, the rational cup-length of M [Ka07]. We study the inequality in the opposite direction. In particular, combining our results with Gromov’s theorem, we prove the equality cat_stsys M = cl_\mathbbQ M{\rm cat}_{\rm stsys} M = {\rm cl}_{\mathbb{Q}} M for simply connected manifolds of dimension ≤ 7.     

Pseudodifferential Operators Approach to Singular Integral Operators in Weighted Variable Exponent Lebesgue Spaces on Carleson Curves

The main results of the paper are: (1) The boundedness of singular integral operators in the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces L ^p(·)(Γ, w) on a class of composed Carleson curves Γ where the weights w have a finite set of oscillating singularities. The proof of this result is based on the boundedness of Mellin pseudodifferential operators on the spaces L^p(·)(\mathbbR ₊,dm){L^{p(\cdot )}(\mathbb{R} _{+},d\mu)} where dμ is an invariant measure on multiplicative group ${\mathbb{R}_{+}=\left\{r\in \mathbb{R}:r >0 \right\}}${\mathbb{R}_{+}=\left\{r\in \mathbb{R}:r >0 \right\}}. (2) Criterion of local invertibility of singular integral operators with piecewise slowly oscillating coefficients acting on L ^p(·)(Γ, w) spaces. We obtain this criterion from the corresponding criteria of local invertibility at the point 0 of Mellin pseudodifferential operators on \mathbbR₊{\mathbb{R}_{+}} and local invertibility of singular integral operators on \mathbbR{\mathbb{R}}. (3) Criterion of Fredholmness of singular integral operators in the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces L ^p(·)(Γ, w) where Γ belongs to a class of composed Carleson curves slowly oscillating at the nodes, and the weight w has a finite set of slowly oscillating singularities.     

Ring of invariants of general linear group over local ring \mathbb{Z}_{p^m }

Let \mathbbZ_p^m \mathbb{Z}_{p^m } be the ring of integers modulo p ^m , where p is a prime and m ⩾ 1. The general linear group GL _n ( \mathbbZ_p^m \mathbb{Z}_{p^m } ) acts naturally on the polynomial algebra A _n := \mathbbZ_p^m \mathbb{Z}_{p^m } [x ₁, …, x _n ]. Denote by A_n^{GL₂ (\mathbbZ_pm )} A_n^{GL_2 (\mathbb{Z}_{p^m } )} the corresponding ring of invariants. The purpose of the present paper is to calculate this invariant ring. Our results also generalize the classical Dickson’s theorem.     

Canonical form with respect to semiscalar equivalence for a matrix pencil with nonsingular first matrix

Polynomial n × n matrices A(x) and B(x) over a field \mathbbF \mathbb{F} are called semiscalar equivalent if there exist a nonsingular n × n matrix P over \mathbbF \mathbb{F} and an invertible n × n matrix Q(x) over \mathbbF \mathbb{F} [x] such that A(x) = PB(x)Q(x). We give a canonical form with respect to semiscalar equivalence for a matrix pencil A(x) = A _0x - A ₁, where A ₀ and A ₁ are n × n matrices over \mathbbF \mathbb{F} , and A ₀ is nonsingular.     

Triple Hilbert Transforms Along Polynomial Surfaces

Given W ì \mathbbZ₊³\Omega \subset {\mathbb{Z}}_{+}^{3}, we discuss a necessary and sufficient condition that the triple Hilbert transform associated with any polynomial of the form ($t_1, t_2, t_3,\sum_{m \in \Omega} a_{m} t^m$t_1, t_2, t_3,\sum_{m \in \Omega} a_{m} t^m) is bounded in L^p(\mathbbR⁴)L^p({\mathbb{R}}^4).
