On Finite Elements in Lattices of Regular Operators

Let E and F be vector lattices and the ordered space of all regular operators, which turns out to be a (Dedekind complete) vector lattice if F is Dedekind complete. We show that every lattice isomorphism from E onto F is a finite element in , and that if E is an AL-space and F is a Dedekind complete AM-space with an order unit, then each regular operator is a finite element in . We also investigate the finiteness of finite rank operators in Banach lattices. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for rank one operators to be finite elements in the vector lattice .

A Topological View of Ramsey Families of Finite Subsets of Positive Integers

If is an initially hereditary family of finite subsets of positive integers (i.e., if and G is initial segment of F then ) and M an infinite subset of positive integers then we define an ordinal index . We prove that if is a family of finite subsets of positive integers such that for every the characteristic function χ_F is isolated point of the subspace

Some properties of essential spectra of a positive operator, II

Let T be a positive operator on a Banach lattice E. Some properties of Weyl essential spectrum σ_ew(T), in particular, the equality , where is the set of all compact operators on E, are established. If r(T) does not belong to Fredholm essential spectrum σ_ef(T), then for every a ≠ 0, where T₋₁ is a residue of the resolvent R(., T) at r(T). The new conditions for which implies , are derived. The question when the relation holds, where is Lozanovsky’s essential spectrum, will be considered. Lozanovsky’s order essential spectrum is introduced. A number of auxiliary results are proved. Among them the following generalization of Nikol’sky’s theorem: if T is an operator of index zero, then T = R + K, where R is invertible, K ≥ 0 is of finite rank. Under the natural assumptions (one of them is ) a theorem about the Frobenius normal form is proved: there exist T-invariant bands such that if , where , then an operator on D_i is band irreducible.      

Nonarchimedean Cantor set and string

We construct a nonarchimedean (or p-adic) analogue of the classical ternary Cantor set . In particular, we show that this nonarchimedean Cantor set is self-similar. Furthermore, we characterize as the subset of 3-adic integers whose elements contain only 0’s and 2’s in their 3-adic expansions and prove that is naturally homeomorphic to . Finally, from the point of view of the theory of fractal strings and their complex fractal dimensions [7, 8], the corresponding nonarchimedean Cantor string resembles the standard archimedean (or real) Cantor string perfectly.

Entropy and Decay of Correlations for Real Analytic Semi-Flows

We consider real analytic suspension semi-flows over uniformly expanding real-analytic map of the interval. We show that for any -invariant equilibrium measure related to an analytic potential g, there exists a Banach space of test functions such that for generic observables in , the corresponding correlation functions cannot decay faster than , where h_g is the measure theoretic entropy of . This statement implies the existence of essential spectrum for the Perron-Frobenius operator associated to the semi-flow, when acting on any reasonable Banach space. Submitted: September 16, 2008.

More on Bounding Introspection in Modal Nonmonotonic Logics

Abstract By we denote the set of all propositional formulas. Let be the set of all clauses. Define . In Sec. 2 of this paper we prove that for normal modal logics , the notions of -expansions and -expansions coincide. In Sec. 3, we prove that if I consists of default clauses then the notions of -expansions for I and -expansions for I coincide. To this end, we first show, in Sec. 3, that the notion of -expansions for I is the same as that of -expansions for I. The project is supported by NSFC

For every Lefschetz decomposition of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on we construct a triangulated subcategory ) which gives a desingularization of . If the Lefschetz decomposition is generated by a vector bundle tilting over Y then is a noncommutative resolution, and if the Lefschetz decomposition is rectangular, then is a crepant resolution.     

On the nuclearity of integral operators

Let X be a nonempty measurable subset of and consider the restriction of the usual Lebesgue measure σ of to X. Under the assumption that the intersection of X with every open ball of has positive measure, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on a L²(X)-positive definite kernel in order that the associated integral operator be nuclear. Taken nuclearity for granted, formulas for the trace of the operator are derived. Some of the results are re-analyzed when K is just an element of .      

Stable Ranks of Banach Algebras of Operator-Valued Analytic Functions

Let E be a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and let denote the algebra of all functions that are holomorphic. If is a subalgebra of , then using an algebraic result of Corach and Larotonda, we derive that under some conditions, the Bass stable rank of is infinite. In particular, we deduce that the Bass (and hence topological stable ranks) of the Hardy algebra , the disk algebra and the Wiener algebra are all infinite.

Scaling Limit for Subsystems and Doplicher–Roberts Reconstruction

Given an inclusion of (graded) local nets, we analyse the structure of the corresponding inclusion of scaling limit nets , giving conditions, fulfilled in free field theory, under which the unicity of the scaling limit of implies that of the scaling limit of . As a byproduct, we compute explicitly the (unique) scaling limit of the fixpoint nets of scalar free field theories. In the particular case of an inclusion of local nets with the same canonical field net , we find sufficient conditions which entail the equality of the canonical field nets of .

Compactness of Bochner representable operators on Orlicz spaces

We study compactness properties of linear operators from an Orlicz space L^Φ provided with a natural mixed topology to a Banach space (X, || · ||_X). We derive that every Bochner representable operator is -compact. In particular, it is shown that every Bochner representable operator is (τ(L^∞, L¹), || · ||_X)-compact.      

Regular orbits and positive directions

Let A be a bounded linear operator defined on a separable Banach space X. Then A is said to be supercyclic if there exists a vector x ∈ X (later called supercyclic for A), such that the projective orbit is dense in X. On the other hand, A is said to be positive supercyclic if for each supercyclic vector x, the positive projective orbit, is dense in X. Sometimes supercyclicity and positive supercyclicity are equivalent. The study of this relationship was initiated in [14] by F. León and V. Müller. In this paper we study positive supercyclicity for operators A of the form , with , defined on . We will see that such a problem is related with the study of regular orbits. The notion of positive directions will be central throughout the paper.
