Some Remarks on the Class of Continuous (Semi-) Strictly Quasiconvex Functions

We introduce the notion of variational (semi-) strict quasimonotonicity for a multivalued operator T  : X⇉X ^* relative to a nonempty subset A of X which is not necessarily included in the domain of T. We use this notion to characterize the subdifferentials of continuous (semi-) strictly quasiconvex functions. The proposed definition is a relaxation of the standard definition of (semi-) strict quasimonotonicity, the latter being appropriate only for operators with nonempty values. Thus, the derived results are extensions to the continuous case of the corresponding results for locally Lipschitz functions.     

Time Regularity for Random Walks on Locally Compact Groups

Let G be a compactly generated, locally compact group, and let T be the operator of convolution with a probability measure μ on G. Our main results give sufficient conditions on μ for the operator T to be analytic in L ^p (G), 1 < p < ∞, where analyticity means that one has an estimate of form for all n = 1, 2, ... in L ^p operator norm. Counterexamples show that analyticity may not hold if some of the conditions are not satisfied.     

Convolution Operators on Banach Lattices with Shift-Invariant Norms

Let G be a locally compact abelian group and let μ be a complex valued regular Borel measure on G. In this paper we consider a generalisation of a class of Banach lattices introduced in Johansson (Syst Control Lett 57:105–111, 2008). We use Laplace transform methods to show that the norm of a convolution operator with symbol μ on such a space is bounded below by the L ^∞ norm of the Fourier–Stieltjes transform of μ. We also show that for any Banach lattice of locally integrable functions on G with a shift-invariant norm, the norm of a convolution operator with symbol μ is bounded above by the total variation of μ.     

A Precise Interplay Between BMO Space and A 2 Class in Dimension One

Sharp inequalities between weight bounds from A ₂-condition and the BMO norm or the distance from L ^∞ in the BMO norm are obtained in the one dimensional case.     

Three results on the regularity of the curves that are invariant by an exact symplectic twist map

A theorem due to G. D. Birkhoff states that every essential curve which is invariant under a symplectic twist map of the annulus is the graph of a Lipschitz map. We prove: if the graph of a Lipschitz map h:T→R is invariant under a symplectic twist map, then h is a little bit more regular than simply Lipschitz (Theorem 1); we deduce that there exists a Lipschitz map h:T→R whose graph is invariant under no symplectic twist map (Corollary 2). Assuming that the dynamic of a twist map restricted to a Lipschitz graph is bi-Lipschitz conjugate to a rotation, we obtain that the graph is even C ¹ (Theorem 3). Then we consider the case of the C ⁰ integrable symplectic twist maps and we prove that for such a map, there exists a dense G _δ subset of the set of its invariant curves such that every curve of this G _δ subset is C ¹ (Theorem 4).     

Cohomology classes of dynamically non-negative Ck functions

Let T:x↦2x (mod 1) be the doubling map of the circle ?=ℝ/ℤ. We construct a trigonometric polynomial f:?→ℝ with the following property: ∫f  dμ≥0 for every T-invariant probability measure μ, so that f is cohomologous to a non-negative Lipschitz function, yet f is not cohomologous to any non-negative C ¹ function.

Weyl’s theorem for algebraically wF(p, r, q) operators with p, r?>?0 and q?≥?1

If T (or T*) is an algebraically wF(p, r, q) operator with p, r > 0 and q ≥ 1 acting in an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space, then we prove that Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T) for any f ∈ Hol(σ(T)), where Hol(σ(T)) is the set of all analytic functions in an open neighborhood of σ(T). Moreover, if T* is a wF(p, r, q) operator with p, r > 0 and q ≥ 1, then the a-Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T). In addition, if T (or T*) is an algebraically wF(p, r, q) operator with p, r > 0 and q ≥ 1, then we establish the spectral mapping theorems for the Weyl spectrum and for the essential approximate point spectrum of T for any f ∈ Hol(σ(T)), respectively. Finally, we examine the stability of Weyl’s theorem and the a-Weyl’s theorem under commutative perturbations by finite-rank operators.     

Verifying Huppert’s Conjecture for <Superscript>2</Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>)

Let G be a finite group and cd(G) be the set of irreducible character degrees of G. Bertram Huppert conjectured that if H is a finite nonabelian simple group such that cd(G) = cd(H), then G ≅ H×A, where A is an abelian group. In this paper, we verify the conjecture for the twisted Ree groups ² G ₂(q ²) for q ² = 3^2m + 1, m ≥ 1. The argument involves verifying five steps outlined by Huppert in his arguments establishing his conjecture for many of the nonabelian simple groups.     

An Endpoint Estimate for the Commutator of Singular Integrals

It is well known that the commutator Tb of the singular integral operator T with a BMO function b is bounded on L^P（R^n）, 1 〈 p 〈 ∞. In this paper, we consider the endpoint estimates for a kind of commutator of singular integrals. A BMO-type estimate for Tb is obtained under the assumption b ∈ LMO.     

Extremely non-complex Banach spaces

A Banach space X is said to be an extremely non-complex space if the norm equality ∥Id +T ²∥ = 1+∥T ²∥ holds for every bounded linear operator T on X. We show that every extremely non-complex Banach space has positive numerical index, it does not have an unconditional basis and that the infimum of diameters of the slices of its unit ball is positive.     

Group measure space decomposition of II1 factors and W*-superrigidity

We prove a “unique crossed product decomposition” result for group measure space II₁ factors L ^∞(X)⋊Γ arising from arbitrary free ergodic probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of groups Γ in a fairly large family G\mathcal{G}, which contains all free products of a Kazhdan group and a non-trivial group, as well as certain amalgamated free products over an amenable subgroup. We deduce that if T _n denotes the group of upper triangular matrices in PSL (n,ℤ), then any free, mixing p.m.p. action of G = \operatornamePSL(n,\mathbbZ)*_Tn\operatornamePSL(n,\mathbbZ)\Gamma=\operatorname{PSL}(n,\mathbb{Z})*_{T_{n}}\operatorname{PSL}(n,\mathbb{Z}) is W^∗-superrigid, i.e. any isomorphism between L ^∞(X)⋊Γ and an arbitrary group measure space factor L ^∞(Y)⋊Λ, comes from a conjugacy of the actions. We also prove that for many groups Γ in the family G\mathcal{G}, the Bernoulli actions of Γ are W^∗-superrigid.     

Hysteresis nonstationary nonlinearities

We consider an operator (variable hysteron) used to describe a nonstationary hysteresis nonlinearity (whose characteristics vary under the action of external forces) according to the Krasnosel’skii-Pokrovskii scheme. Sufficient conditions under which the operator is defined for the inputs from the class of functions H ¹[t ₀, T] satisfying the Lipschitz condition in the segment [t ₀, T] are established. __________ Translated from Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 60, No. 3, pp. 295–309, March, 2008.     

(K, K′)-quasiconformal Harmonic Mappings

We prove that a harmonic diffeomorphism between two Jordan domains with C ² boundaries is a (K, K′) quasiconformal mapping for some constants K ≥ 1 and K′ ≥ 0 if and only if it is Lipschitz continuous. In this setting, if the domain is the unit disk and the mapping is normalized by three boundary points condition we give an explicit Lipschitz constant in terms of simple geometric quantities of the Jordan curve which surrounds the codomain and (K, K′). The results in this paper generalize and extend several recently obtained results.     

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 < ∞.     

On the Blow-up Criterion of Smooth Solutions to the MHD System in BMO Space

In this paper we study the blow-up criterion of smooth solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamics system in BMO space. Let （u（x,t）,b（x,t）） be smooth solutions in （0, T）. It is shown that the solution （u（x, t）, b（x, t）） can be extended beyond t = T if （u（x,t）, b（x, t）） ∈ L^1 （0, T; BMO） or the vorticity （rot u（x, t）, rot b（x, t）） ∈ L^1 （0, T; BMO） or the deformation （Def u（x, t）, Def b（x, t）） ∈ L^1 （0, T; BMO）.     

Finite Schur filtration dimension for modules over an algebra with Schur filtration

Let G = GL _N or SL _N as reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of characteristic p > 0. We prove several results that were previously established only when N ⩽ 5 or p > 2  ^N : Let G act rationally on a finitely generated commutative k-algebra A and let grA be the Grosshans graded ring. We show that the cohomology algebra H ^*(G, grA) is finitely generated over k. If moreover A has a good filtration and M is a Noetherian A-module with compatible G action, then M has finite good filtration dimension and the H ⁱ (G, M) are Noetherian A ^G -modules. To obtain results in this generality, we employ functorial resolution of the ideal of the diagonal in a product of Grassmannians.     

A Dodds–Fremlin Property for Asplund and Radon–Nikodým Operators

Let E and F be Banach lattices and let S, T: E→ F be positive operators such that 0≤ S≤ T. It is shown that if T is a Radon–Nikodym operator, F has order continuous norm and E and F both have (Schaefer's) property (P), then S is a Radon–Nikodym operator; also, if T is an Asplund operator, E' has order continuous norm and E has property (P), then S is an Asplund operator.     

The nearness problems for symmetric centrosymmetric with a special submatrix constraint

We say that X=[x_ij]_i,j=1ⁿX=[x_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^n is symmetric centrosymmetric if x _ij  = x _ji and x _{n − j + 1,n − i + 1}, 1 ≤ i,j ≤ n. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for minimizing ||AXA ^T  − B|| where ||·|| is the Frobenius norm, A ∈ ℝ ^m×n , B ∈ ℝ ^m×m and X ∈ ℝ ^n×n is symmetric centrosymmetric with a specified central submatrix [x _ij ] _{p ≤ i,j ≤ n − p} . Our algorithm produces a suitable X such that AXA ^T  = B in finitely many steps, if such an X exists. We show that the algorithm is stable any case, and we give results of numerical experiments that support this claim.     

Equivalent Characterizations for Boundedness of Maximal Singular Integrals on ax+b-Groups

Let (S,d,ρ) be the affine group ℝ ⁿ ⋉ℝ⁺ endowed with the left-invariant Riemannian metric d and the right Haar measure ρ, which is of exponential growth at infinity. In this paper, for any linear operator T on (S,d,ρ) associated with a kernel K satisfying certain integral size condition and H?rmander’s condition, the authors prove that the following four statements regarding the corresponding maximal singular integral T ^∗ are equivalent: T ^∗ is bounded from L_c^￥L_{c}^{\infty} to BMO, T ^∗ is bounded on L ^p for all p∈(1,∞), T ^∗ is bounded on L ^p for some p∈(1,∞) and T ^∗ is bounded from L ¹ to L ^1,∞. As applications of these results, for spectral multipliers of a distinguished Laplacian on (S,d,ρ) satisfying certain Mihlin-H?rmander type condition, the authors obtain that their maximal singular integrals are bounded from L_c^￥L_{c}^{\infty} to BMO, from L ¹ to L ^1,∞, and on L ^p for all p∈(1,∞).
