Bavrin’s Type Factorization of the Temljakov Operator for Holomorphic Functions in Circular Domains of $$\mathbb {C}^{n}$$

The paper concerns investigations of holomorphic functions of several complex variables with a factorization of their Temljakov transform. Firstly, there were considered some inclusions between the families \(\mathcal {C}_{\mathcal {G}},\mathcal {M}_{\mathcal {G}},\mathcal {N}_{\mathcal {G}},\mathcal {R}_{\mathcal {G}},\mathcal {V}_{\mathcal {G}}\) of such holomorphic functions on complete n-circular domain \(\mathcal {G}\) of \(\mathbb {C}^{n}\) in some papers of Bavrin, Fukui, Higuchi, Michiwaki. A motivation of our investigations is a condensation of the mentioned inclusions by some new families of Bavrin’s type. Hence we consider some families \(\mathcal {K}_{ \mathcal {G}}^{k},k\ge 2,\) of holomorphic functions f :  \(\mathcal {G}\rightarrow \mathbb {C},f(0)=1,\) defined also by a factorization of \( \mathcal {L}f\) onto factors from \(\mathcal {C}_{\mathcal {G}}\) and \(\mathcal {M} _{\mathcal {G}}.\) We present some interesting properties and extremal problems on \(\mathcal {K}_{\mathcal {G}}^{k}\).     

On Standard Derived Equivalences of Orbit Categories

Let k be a commutative ring, \(\mathcal {A}\) and \(\mathcal {B}\) – two k-linear categories with an action of a group G. We introduce the notion of a standard G-equivalence from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\), where \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) is the homotopy category of finitely generated projective \(\mathcal {A}\)-complexes. We construct a map from the set of standard G-equivalences to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) and a map from the set of standard G-equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {B}/G)\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {A}/G)\), where \(\mathcal {A}/G\) denotes the orbit category. We investigate the properties of these maps and apply our results to the case where \(\mathcal {A}=\mathcal {B}=R\) is a Frobenius k-algebra and G is the cyclic group generated by its Nakayama automorphism ν. We apply this technique to obtain the generating set of the derived Picard group of a Frobenius Nakayama algebra over an algebraically closed field.     

Estimates for coefficients of certain <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

Let \(\pi _{\varphi }\) (or \(\pi _{\psi }\)) be an automorphic cuspidal representation of \(\text {GL}_{2} (\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\) associated to a primitive Maass cusp form \(\varphi \) (or \(\psi \)), and \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\) be the jth symmetric power lift of \(\pi _{\varphi }\). Let \(a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)\) denote the nth Dirichlet series coefficient of the principal L-function associated to \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\). In this paper, we study first moments of Dirichlet series coefficients of automorphic representations \(\mathrm{sym}^3 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{4}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\), and \(\pi _{\psi }\otimes \mathrm{sym}^2 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{6}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\). For \(3 \le j \le 8\), estimates for \(|a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)|\) on average over a short interval have also been established.     

Idempotent and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-potent quadratic functions: distribution of nonlinearity and co-dimension

The Walsh transform \(\widehat{Q}\) of a quadratic function \(Q:{\mathbb F}_{p^n}\rightarrow {\mathbb F}_p\) satisfies \(|\widehat{Q}(b)| \in \{0,p^{\frac{n+s}{2}}\}\) for all \(b\in {\mathbb F}_{p^n}\), where \(0\le s\le n-1\) is an integer depending on Q. In this article, we study the following three classes of quadratic functions of wide interest. The class \(\mathcal {C}_1\) is defined for arbitrary n as \(\mathcal {C}_1 = \{Q(x) = \mathrm{Tr_n}(\sum _{i=1}^{\lfloor (n-1)/2\rfloor }a_ix^{2^i+1})\;:\; a_i \in {\mathbb F}_2\}\), and the larger class \(\mathcal {C}_2\) is defined for even n as \(\mathcal {C}_2 = \{Q(x) = \mathrm{Tr_n}(\sum _{i=1}^{(n/2)-1}a_ix^{2^i+1}) + \mathrm{Tr_{n/2}}(a_{n/2}x^{2^{n/2}+1}) \;:\; a_i \in {\mathbb F}_2\}\). For an odd prime p, the subclass \(\mathcal {D}\) of all p-ary quadratic functions is defined as \(\mathcal {D} = \{Q(x) = \mathrm{Tr_n}(\sum _{i=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor }a_ix^{p^i+1})\;:\; a_i \in {\mathbb F}_p\}\). We determine the generating function for the distribution of the parameter s for \(\mathcal {C}_1, \mathcal {C}_2\) and \(\mathcal {D}\). As a consequence we completely describe the distribution of the nonlinearity for the rotation symmetric quadratic Boolean functions, and in the case \(p > 2\), the distribution of the co-dimension for the rotation symmetric quadratic p-ary functions, which have been attracting considerable attention recently. Our results also facilitate obtaining closed formulas for the number of such quadratic functions with prescribed s for small values of s, and hence extend earlier results on this topic. We also present the complete weight distribution of the subcodes of the second order Reed–Muller codes corresponding to \(\mathcal {C}_1\) and \(\mathcal {C}_2\) in terms of a generating function.     

Largest initial segments pointwise fixed by automorphisms of models of set theory

Given a model \(\mathcal {M}\) of set theory, and a nontrivial automorphism j of \(\mathcal {M}\), let \(\mathcal {I}_{\mathrm {fix}}(j)\) be the submodel of \(\mathcal {M}\) whose universe consists of elements m of \(\mathcal {M}\) such that \(j(x)=x\) for every x in the transitive closure of m (where the transitive closure of m is computed within \(\mathcal {M}\)). Here we study the class \(\mathcal {C}\) of structures of the form \(\mathcal {I}_{\mathrm {fix}}(j)\), where the ambient model \(\mathcal {M}\) satisfies a frugal yet robust fragment of \(\mathrm {ZFC}\) known as \(\mathrm {MOST}\), and \(j(m)=m\) whenever m is a finite ordinal in the sense of \(\mathcal {M}.\) Our main achievement is the calculation of the theory of \(\mathcal {C}\) as precisely \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm {Collection}\). The following theorems encapsulate our principal results: Theorem A. Every structure in \(\mathcal {C}\) satisfies \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm { Collection}\). Theorem B. Each of the following three conditions is sufficient for a countable structure \(\mathcal {N}\) to be in \(\mathcal {C}\):(a) \(\mathcal {N}\) is a transitive model of \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm {Collection}\).(b) \(\mathcal {N}\) is a recursively saturated model of \(\mathrm {MOST+\Delta }_{0}^{\mathcal {P}}\)-\(\mathrm {Collection}\).(c) \(\mathcal {N}\) is a model of \(\mathrm {ZFC}\). Theorem C. Suppose \(\mathcal {M}\) is a countable recursively saturated model of \(\mathrm {ZFC}\) and I is a proper initial segment of \(\mathrm {Ord}^{\mathcal {M}}\) that is closed under exponentiation and contains \(\omega ^\mathcal {M}\) . There is a group embedding \(j\longmapsto \check{j}\) from \(\mathrm {Aut}(\mathbb {Q})\) into \(\mathrm {Aut}(\mathcal {M})\) such that I is the longest initial segment of \(\mathrm {Ord}^{\mathcal {M}}\) that is pointwise fixed by \(\check{j}\) for every nontrivial \(j\in \mathrm {Aut}(\mathbb {Q}).\) In Theorem C, \(\mathrm {Aut}(X)\) is the group of automorphisms of the structure X, and \(\mathbb {Q}\) is the ordered set of rationals.     

Absolute continuity and singularity of Palm measures of the Ginibre point process

We prove a dichotomy between absolute continuity and singularity of the Ginibre point process \(\mathsf {G}\) and its reduced Palm measures \(\{\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {x}}, \mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {C}^{\ell }, \ell = 0,1,2\ldots \}\), namely, reduced Palm measures \(\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {x}}\) and \(\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {y}}\) for \(\mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {C}^{\ell }\) and \(\mathbf {y} \in \mathbb {C}^{n}\) are mutually absolutely continuous if and only if \(\ell = n\); they are singular each other if and only if \(\ell \not = n\). Furthermore, we give an explicit expression of the Radon–Nikodym density \(d\mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {x}}/d \mathsf {G}_{\mathbf {y}}\) for \(\mathbf {x}, \mathbf {y} \in \mathbb {C}^{\ell }\).     

Infra-nilmanifolds modeled on the group of uni-triangular matrices

Let \({\mathcal {N}}_m\) be the group of \(m\times m\) upper triangular real matrices with all the diagonal entries 1. Then it is an \((m-1)\)-step nilpotent Lie group, diffeomorphic to \({\mathbb {R}}^{\frac{1}{2} m(m-1)}\). It contains all the integer matrices as a lattice \(\Gamma _m\). The automorphism group of \({\mathcal {N}}_m \ (m\ge 4)\) turns out to be extremely small. In fact, \(\mathrm {Aut}({\mathcal {N}})=\mathcal {I} \rtimes \mathrm {Out}({\mathcal {N}})\), where \(\mathcal {I}\) is a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, and \(\mathrm {Out}({\mathcal {N}})={{\tilde{K}}}={(\mathbb {R}^*)^{m-1}\rtimes \mathbb {Z}_2}\). With a nice left-invariant Riemannian metric on \({\mathcal {N}}\), the isometry group is \(\mathrm {Isom}({\mathcal {N}})= {\mathcal {N}} \rtimes K\), where \(K={(\mathbb {Z}_2)^{m-1}\rtimes \mathbb {Z}_2}\subset {{\tilde{K}}}\) is a maximal compact subgroup of \(\mathrm {Aut}({\mathcal {N}})\). We prove that, for odd \(m\ge 4\), there is no infra-nilmanifold which is essentially covered by the nilmanifold \(\Gamma _m\backslash {\mathcal {N}}_m\). For \(m=2n\ge 4\) (even), there is a unique infra-nilmanifold which is essentially (and doubly) covered by the nilmanifold \(\Gamma _m\backslash {\mathcal {N}}_m\).     

Frame completions with prescribed norms: local minimizers and applications

Let \(\mathcal {F}_{0}=\{f_{i}\}_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{n_{0}}}\) be a finite sequence of vectors in \(\mathbb {C}^{d}\) and let \(\mathbf {a}=(a_{i})_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}}\) be a finite sequence of positive numbers, where \(\mathbb {I}_{n}=\{1,\ldots , n\}\) for \(n\in \mathbb {N}\). We consider the completions of \(\mathcal {F}_{0}\) of the form \(\mathcal {F}=(\mathcal {F}_{0},\mathcal {G})\) obtained by appending a sequence \(\mathcal {G}=\{g_{i}\}_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}}\) of vectors in \(\mathbb {C}^{d}\) such that ∥g _i ∥² = a _i for \(i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}\), and endow the set of completions with the metric \(d(\mathcal {F},\tilde {\mathcal {F}}) =\max \{ \,\|g_{i}-\tilde {g}_{i}\|: \ i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}\}\) where \(\tilde {\mathcal {F}}=(\mathcal {F}_{0},\,\tilde {\mathcal {G}})\). In this context we show that local minimizers on the set of completions of a convex potential P _φ , induced by a strictly convex function φ, are also global minimizers. In case that φ(x) = x ² then P _φ is the so-called frame potential introduced by Benedetto and Fickus, and our work generalizes several well known results for this potential. We show that there is an intimate connection between frame completion problems with prescribed norms and frame operator distance (FOD) problems. We use this connection and our results to settle in the affirmative a generalized version of Strawn’s conjecture on the FOD.     

On the Chaoticity of Some Tensor Product Weighted Backward Shift Operators Acting on Some Tensor Product Fock–Bargmann Spaces

In Advances in Mathematical Physics (2011) we showed that the weighted shift \(z^{p}\frac{d^{p+1}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) acting on classical Bargmann space \(\mathbb {B}_{p}\) is chaotic operator. In Journal of Mathematical physics (2014), we constructed an chaotic weighted shift \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) on some lattice Fock–Bargmann \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\) generated by the orthonormal basis \( {e_{m}^{(\alpha ,p)}(z) = e_{m}^{\alpha } ; m=p, p+1,\ldots }\) where \( {e_{m}^{\alpha }(z) = (\frac{2\nu }{\pi })^{1/4}e^{\frac{\nu }{2}z^{2}}e^{-\frac{\pi ^{2}}{\nu }(m +\alpha )^{2} +2i\pi (m +\alpha )z}; m \in \mathbb {N}}\) with \(\nu , \alpha \) are real numbers; \(\nu > 0\), \(\mathbb {M}\) is an weighted shift and \(\mathbb {M^{*}}\) is the adjoint of the \(\mathbb {M}\). In this paper we study the chaoticity of tensor product \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1}\otimes z^{p}\frac{d^{p}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2, \ldots )\) acting on \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\otimes \mathbb {B}_{p}\).     

Equilibrium Diffusion on the Cone of Discrete Radon Measures

Let \({\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})}\) denote the cone of discrete Radon measures on \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). There is a natural differentiation on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\): for a differentiable function \(F:\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\to \mathbb {R}\), one defines its gradient \(\nabla ^{\mathbb {K}}F\) as a vector field which assigns to each \(\eta \in \mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) an element of a tangent space \(T_{\eta }(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d}))\) to \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) at point η. Let \(\phi :\mathbb {R}^{d}\times \mathbb {R}^{d}\to \mathbb {R}\) be a potential of pair interaction, and let μ be a corresponding Gibbs perturbation of (the distribution of) a completely random measure on \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). In particular, μ is a probability measure on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) such that the set of atoms of a discrete measure \(\eta \in \mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) is μ-a.s. dense in \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). We consider the corresponding Dirichlet form

$$\mathcal{E}^{\mathbb{K}}(F,G)={\int}_{\mathbb K(\mathbb{R}^{d})}\langle\nabla^{\mathbb{K}} F(\eta), \nabla^{\mathbb{K}} G(\eta)\rangle_{T_{\eta}(\mathbb{K})}\,d\mu(\eta). $$

Integrating by parts with respect to the measure μ, we explicitly find the generator of this Dirichlet form. By using the theory of Dirichlet forms, we prove the main result of the paper: If d ≥ 2, there exists a conservative diffusion process on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) which is properly associated with the Dirichlet form \(\mathcal {E}^{\mathbb {K}}\).

     

Resolutions of Hilbert Modules and Similarity

Let \(H^{2}_{m}\) be the Drury–Arveson (DA) module which is the reproducing kernel Hilbert space with the kernel function \((z, w) \in\mathbb{B}^{m} \times\mathbb{B}^{m} \rightarrow (1 - \sum_{i=1}^{m}z_{i} \bar{w}_{i})^{-1}\). We investigate for which multipliers \(\theta: \mathbb{B}^{m} \rightarrow \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{E}, \mathcal {E}_{*})\) with ran?M _θ closed, the quotient module \(\mathcal{H}_{\theta}\), given by

$\cdots\longrightarrow H^2_m \otimes\mathcal{E} \stackrel{M_{\theta }}{\longrightarrow}H^2_m \otimes\mathcal{E}_* \stackrel{\pi_{\theta}}{\longrightarrow}\mathcal{H}_{\theta}\longrightarrow0,$

is similar to \(H^{2}_{m} \otimes \mathcal {F}\) for some Hilbert space \(\mathcal{F}\). Here M _θ is the corresponding multiplication operator in \(\mathcal{L}(H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}, H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}_{*})\) for Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{E}\) and \(\mathcal{E}_{*}\) and \(\mathcal {H}_{\theta}\) is the quotient module \((H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}_{*})/ M_{\theta}(H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E})\), and π _θ is the quotient map. We show that a necessary condition is the existence of a multiplier ψ in \(\mathcal{M}(\mathcal{E}_{*}, \mathcal{E})\) such that

$\theta\psi\theta= \theta.$

Moreover, we show that the converse is equivalent to a structure theorem for complemented submodules of \(H^{2}_{m} \otimes\mathcal{E}\) for a Hilbert space \(\mathcal {E}\), which is valid for the case of m=1. The latter result generalizes a known theorem on similarity to the unilateral shift, but the above statement is new. Further, we show that a finite resolution of DA-modules of arbitrary multiplicity using partially isometric module maps must be trivial. Finally, we discuss the analogous questions when the underlying operator m-tuple (or algebra) is not necessarily commuting (or commutative). In this case the converse to the similarity result is always valid.

     

Positive Systems of Kostant Roots

Let \(\mathfrak {g}\) be a simple complex Lie algebra and let \(\mathfrak {t} \subset \mathfrak {g}\) be a toral subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\). As a \(\mathfrak {t}\)-module \(\mathfrak {g}\) decomposes as

$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s} \oplus \left( \oplus_{\nu \in \mathcal{R}}~ \mathfrak{g}^{\nu}\right)$$

where \(\mathfrak {s} \subset \mathfrak {g}\) is the reductive part of a parabolic subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\) and \(\mathcal {R}\) is the Kostant root system associated to \(\mathfrak {t}\). When \(\mathfrak {t}\) is a Cartan subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\) the decomposition above is nothing but the root decomposition of \(\mathfrak {g}\) with respect to \(\mathfrak {t}\); in general the properties of \(\mathcal {R}\) resemble the properties of usual root systems. In this note we study the following problem: “Given a subset \(\mathcal {S} \subset \mathcal {R}\), is there a parabolic subalgebra \(\mathfrak {p}\) of \(\mathfrak {g}\) containing \(\mathcal {M} = \oplus _{\nu \in \mathcal {S}} \mathfrak {g}^{\nu }\) and whose reductive part equals \(\mathfrak {s}\)?”. Our main results is that, for a classical simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {g}\) and a saturated \(\mathcal {S} \subset \mathcal {R}\), the condition \((\text {Sym}^{\cdot }(\mathcal {M}))^{\mathfrak {s}} = \mathbb {C}\) is necessary and sufficient for the existence of such a \(\mathfrak {p}\). In contrast, we show that this statement is no longer true for the exceptional Lie algebras F₄,E₆,E₇, and E₈. Finally, we discuss the problem in the case when \(\mathcal {S}\) is not saturated.

     

Liouville Theorems for a General Class of Nonlocal Operators

In this paper, we study the equation \(\mathcal {L} u=0\) in \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\), where \(\mathcal {L}\) belongs to a general class of nonlocal linear operators which may be anisotropic and nonsymmetric. We classify distributional solutions of this equation, thereby extending and generalizing recent Liouville type theorems in the case where \(\mathcal {L}= (-{\Delta })^{s}\), s ∈ (0, 1) is the classical fractional Laplacian.     

Endpoint Properties of Localized Riesz Transforms and Fractional Integrals Associated to Schrödinger Operators

Let \({\mathcal L}\equiv-\Delta+V\) be the Schrödinger operator in \({{\mathbb R}^n}\), where V is a nonnegative function satisfying the reverse Hölder inequality. Let ρ be an admissible function modeled on the known auxiliary function determined by V. In this paper, the authors characterize the localized Hardy spaces \(H^1_\rho({{\mathbb R}^n})\) in terms of localized Riesz transforms and establish the boundedness on the BMO-type space \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) of these operators as well as the boundedness from \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) to \({\mathop\mathrm{BLO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) of their corresponding maximal operators, and as a consequence, the authors obtain the Fefferman–Stein decomposition of \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) via localized Riesz transforms. When ρ is the known auxiliary function determined by V, \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) is just the known space \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\), and \({\mathop\mathrm{BLO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) in this case is correspondingly denoted by \(\mathop\mathrm{BLO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\). As applications, when n?≥?3, the authors further obtain the boundedness on \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) of Riesz transforms \(\nabla{\mathcal L}^{-1/2}\) and their adjoint operators, as well as the boundedness from \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) to \(\mathop\mathrm{BLO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) of their maximal operators. Also, some endpoint estimates of fractional integrals associated to \({\mathcal L}\) are presented.     

The identification problem for complex-valued Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operators in $$L^p(\mathbb {R}^d,\mathbb {C}^N)$$

In this paper we study perturbed Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operators

$$\begin{aligned} \left[ \mathcal {L}_{\infty } v\right] (x)=A\triangle v(x) + \left\langle Sx,\nabla v(x)\right\rangle -B v(x),\,x\in \mathbb {R}^d,\,d\geqslant 2, \end{aligned}$$

for simultaneously diagonalizable matrices \(A,B\in \mathbb {C}^{N,N}\). The unbounded drift term is defined by a skew-symmetric matrix \(S\in \mathbb {R}^{d,d}\). Differential operators of this form appear when investigating rotating waves in time-dependent reaction diffusion systems. We prove under certain conditions that the maximal domain \(\mathcal {D}(A_p)\) of the generator \(A_p\) belonging to the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup coincides with the domain of \(\mathcal {L}_{\infty }\) in \(L^p(\mathbb {R}^d,\mathbb {C}^N)\) given by

$$\begin{aligned} \mathcal {D}^p_{\mathrm {loc}}(\mathcal {L}_0)=\left\{ v\in W^{2,p}_{\mathrm {loc}}\cap L^p\mid A\triangle v + \left\langle S\cdot ,\nabla v\right\rangle \in L^p\right\} ,\,1<p<\infty . \end{aligned}$$

One key assumption is a new \(L^p\)-dissipativity condition

$$\begin{aligned} |z|^2\mathrm {Re}\,\left\langle w,Aw\right\rangle + (p-2)\mathrm {Re}\,\left\langle w,z\right\rangle \mathrm {Re}\,\left\langle z,Aw\right\rangle \geqslant \gamma _A |z|^2|w|^2\;\forall \,z,w\in \mathbb {C}^N \end{aligned}$$

for some \(\gamma _A>0\). The proof utilizes the following ingredients. First we show the closedness of \(\mathcal {L}_{\infty }\) in \(L^p\) and derive \(L^p\)-resolvent estimates for \(\mathcal {L}_{\infty }\). Then we prove that the Schwartz space is a core of \(A_p\) and apply an \(L^p\)-solvability result of the resolvent equation for \(A_p\). In addition, we derive \(W^{1,p}\)-resolvent estimates. Our results may be considered as extensions of earlier works by Metafune, Pallara and Vespri to the vector-valued complex case.

     

Maps with the Unique Extension Property and $$\hbox {C}^{*}$$-Extreme Points

We investigate boundary representations in the context where Hilbert spaces are replaced by \(\hbox {C}^{*}\)-modules over abelian von Neumann algebras and apply this to study \(\hbox {C}^{*}\)-extreme points. We present an (unexpected) example of a weak* compact \(\mathcal {B}\)-convex subset of \({\mathbb {B}}(\mathcal {H})\) without \(\mathcal {B}\)-extreme points, where \(\mathcal {B}\) is an abelian von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space \(\mathcal {H}\). On the other hand, if \(\mathcal {A}\) is a von Neumann algebra with a separable predual and whose finite part is injective, we show that each weak* compact \(\mathcal {A}\)-convex subset of \(\ell ^{\infty }(\mathcal {A})\) is generated by its \(\mathcal {A}\)-extreme points.     

On the horizontal diameter of the unit sphere

For a singular Riemannian foliation \(\mathcal {F}\) on a Riemannian manifold M, a curve is called horizontal if it meets the leaves of \(\mathcal {F}\) perpendicularly. For a singular Riemannian foliation \(\mathcal {F}\) on a unit sphere \(\mathbb {S}^{n}\), we show that if \(\mathcal {F}\) satisfies some properties, then the horizontal diameter of \(\mathbb {S}^{n}\) is \(\pi \), i.e., any two points in \(\mathbb {S}^{n}\) can be connected by a horizontal curve of length \(\le \pi \).     

Reproducing Kernel for the Herglotz Functions in $$\mathbb {R}^n$$ and Solutions of the Helmholtz Equation

The purpose of this article is to extend to \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) known results in dimension 2 concerning the structure of a Hilbert space with reproducing kernel of the space of Herglotz wave functions. These functions are the solutions of Helmholtz equation in \(\mathbb {R} ^{n}\) that are the Fourier transform of measures supported in the unit sphere with density in \(L^{2}(\mathbb {S}^{n-1})\). As a natural extension of this, we define Banach spaces of solutions of the Helmholtz equation in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) belonging to weighted Sobolev type spaces \(\mathcal {H}^{p}\) having in a non local norm that involves radial derivatives and spherical gradients. We calculate the reproducing kernel of the Herglotz wave functions and study in \(\mathcal {H}^{p}\) and in mixed norm spaces, the continuity of the orthogonal projection \(\mathcal {P}\) of \(\mathcal {H}^{2}\) onto the Herglotz wave functions.     

On kernels and nuclei of rank metric codes

For each rank metric code \(\mathcal {C}\subseteq \mathbb {K}^{m\times n}\), we associate a translation structure, the kernel of which is shown to be invariant with respect to the equivalence on rank metric codes. When \(\mathcal {C}\) is \(\mathbb {K}\)-linear, we also propose and investigate other two invariants called its middle nucleus and right nucleus. When \(\mathbb {K}\) is a finite field \(\mathbb {F}_q\) and \(\mathcal {C}\) is a maximum rank distance code with minimum distance \(d<\min \{m,n\}\) or \(\gcd (m,n)=1\), the kernel of the associated translation structure is proved to be \(\mathbb {F}_q\). Furthermore, we also show that the middle nucleus of a linear maximum rank distance code over \(\mathbb {F}_q\) must be a finite field; its right nucleus also has to be a finite field under the condition \(\max \{d,m-d+2\} \geqslant \left\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right\rfloor +1\). Let \(\mathcal {D}\) be the DHO-set associated with a bilinear dimensional dual hyperoval over \(\mathbb {F}_2\). The set \(\mathcal {D}\) gives rise to a linear rank metric code, and we show that its kernel and right nucleus are isomorphic to \(\mathbb {F}_2\). Also, its middle nucleus must be a finite field containing \(\mathbb {F}_q\). Moreover, we also consider the kernel and the nuclei of \(\mathcal {D}^k\) where k is a Knuth operation.     

On height isotopy classes of embeddings in the plane of a Morse function of a circle

Let \(\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\) be a set of stable Morse functions of an oriented circle such that the number of singular points is \(2n\in \mathbb {N}\) and the order of singular values satisfies the particular condition. For an orthogonal projection \(\pi :\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), let \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) be embedding lifts of f. If there is an ambient isotopy \(\tilde{\varphi }_t:\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) \((t\in [0,1])\) such that \({\pi \circ \tilde{\varphi }}_t(y_1,y_2)=y_1\) and \(\tilde{\varphi }_1\circ {\tilde{f}}_0={\tilde{f}}_1\), we say that \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1\) are height isotopic. We define a function \(I:\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\rightarrow \mathbb {N}\) as follows: I(f) is the number of height isotopy classes of embeddings such that each rotation number is one. In this paper, we determine the maximal value of the function I equals the n-th Baxter number and the minimal value equals \(2^{n-1}\).
