EQUIMEASURABLE SETS IN RIESZ SPACES

Abstract

We discuss the notion of equimeasurability in the general setting of Riesz spaces and obtain a characterization for (Carleman) abstract kernel operators in terms of equimea=surable sets.     

PROJECTIONS ON OPERATOR DUALS

Abstract

We discuss the existence of a projection with kernel K_b(E,F) ¹ (the annihilator of the quasi-compact operators) on the dual space of the space L _b,(E, F) of continous linear operators. Our results are proved in the context of Hausdorff locally convex spaces, but also provide extensions of recent results in the context of Banach spaces.     

A RADON-NIKODYM THEOREM FOR RIESZ SPACE VALUED MEASURES

ABSTRACT

In this note, as a consequence of the Radon-Nikodym theorem for positive operators given by Luxemburg and Schep ([6]), we obtain a Radon-Nikodym theorem for Riesz space valued measures similar to Wright's theorem ([11]).     

r-ASYMPTOTICALLY QUASI-FINITE RANK OPERATORS AND THE SPECTRUM OF MEASURES

Abstract

The r-asymptotically quasi finite rank operators were introduced in [10]. For regular operators on Banach lattices, these operators are the order theoretic analogue of Riesz operators on Banach spaces. We establish their basic properties and apply these in the spectral analysis of convolution operators.     

SPECTRALITY FOR MATRICES OF FOURIER MULTIPLIER OPERATORS ACTING IN Lp -SPACES OVER LCA GROUPS

Abstract

N. Dunford and J.T. Schwartz gave a complete characterization of those matrices of (bounded) Fourier multiplier operators acting in L ²(R^N) ⁿ which are spectral operators, [4; ch. XV]. In the present note this characterization is extended to the setting of L^P(G)ⁿ , where G is a locally compact abelian group and 1 < p < ∞; see Theorem 2.     

SOME FUNCTIONAL ANALYTIC PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITION OPERATORS

Abstract

This is a report on a number of recent results on composition operators which map, for 0 < p ? q ∞, the Hardy space H^p (on the unit disk in the complex plane) into H ^q. Attention is focused on questions of boundedness (existence), compactness, order boundedness and, in connection with the latter, on relating the absolutely summing and nuclearity character as well as special factorization properties of the operator to function theoretic properties of the defining symbol. Moreover, tools are provided to show that certain classes of operators can well be distinguished already on the level of composition operators.     

THE INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF AN ORDER BOUNDED TRANSFORMATION

Summary

Assume that T:L→M is a positive transformation from an arbitrary Riesz space L into a Dedekind complete Riesz space M, and let T=T_c + T_s be the decomposition of T into its integral component T_c and its singular component T_s.

In this note we give an elementary proof of the fact that for every o ? u ? L

T_c u = inf(s_nup Tu_n: o ? u_n + u),

under the conditionns stated above. This generalizes a recent result of C.D. Aliprantis [1].     

AN f-ALGEBRA APPROACH TO THE RIESZ TENSOR PRODUCT OF ARCHIMEDEAN RIESZ SPACES

Abstract

We construct the Riesz tensor product of Archimedean Riesz spaces and derive its properties using functional calculus and f-algebras. We improve results on the approximation of elements in the Riesz tensor product by means of elements in the vector space tensor product in such a way that the order density property is a consequence of the improved approximation result.     

Weakly n-hyponormal Weighted Shifts and Their Examples

The gap between hyponormal and subnormal Hilbert space operators can be studied using the intermediate classes of weakly n-hyponormal and (strongly) n-hyponormal operators. The main examples for these various classes, particularly to distinguish them, have been the weighted shifts. In this paper we first obtain a characterization for a weakly n-hyponormal weighted shift W_α with weight sequence α, from which we extend some known results for quadratically hyponormal (i.e., weakly 2-hyponormal) weighted shifts to weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts. In addition, we discuss some new examples for weakly n-hyponormal weighted shifts; one illustrates the differences among the classes of 2-hyponormal, quadratically hyponormal, and positively quadratically hyponormal operators.     

On the Decomposition of the Riesz Operator and the Expansion of the Riesz Semigroup

For a Riesz operator T on a reflexive Banach space X with nonzero eigenvalues denote by E(λ_i; T) the eigen-projection corresponding to an eigenvalue λ_i. In this paper we will show that if the operator sequence is uniformly bounded, then the Riesz operator T can be decomposed into the sum of two operators T_p and T_r: T = T_p + T_r, where T_p is the weak limit of T_n and T_r is quasi-nilpotent. The result is used to obtain an expansion of a Riesz semigroup T(t) for t ≥ τ. As an application, we consider the solution of transport equation on a bounded convex body.     

COMPONENTS OF POSITIVE ELEMENTS IN RIESZ SPACES

Abstract

We find a necessary and sufficient condition on a Riesz space E such that a sub-Boolean algebra of components of a positive element generates the Boolean algebra of all components of the element. This condition yields a dual characterization of principal A-modules in the sense of D. Vuza. When applied to l-algebras, one finds improvements of results of J. Synnatzschke.     

ON BAND IRREDUCIBLE OPERATORS ON BANACH LATTICES

Abstract

In this note we prove an extension of B. de Pagter's theorem (positive, compact, irreducible operators on Banach lattices are not quasi-nilpotent) for positive, band irreducible operators on Banach lattices satisfying some additional conditions.     

Subnormality and composition operators on the Bergman space

Following the work of C. Cowen and T. Kriete on the Hardy space, we prove that under a regularity condition, all composition operators with a subnormal adjoint on A²(D) have linear fractional symbols of the form. Moreover, we show that all composition operators on the Bergman space having these symbols have a subnormal adjoint, with larger range for the parameterr than found in the Hardy space case.     

On the Isolated Points of the Spectrum of Paranormal Operators

For paranormal operator T on a separable complex Hilbert space we show that (1) Weyl’s theorem holds for T, i.e., σ(T) \ w(T) = π₀₀(T) and (2) every Riesz idempotent E with respect to a non-zero isolated point λ of σ(T) is self-adjoint (i.e., it is an orthogonal projection) and satisfies that ranE = ker(T − λ) = ker(T − λ)^*.     

Compact and finite rank operators satisfying a Hankel type equationT 2X=XT 1 *

In 1997, V. Pták defined the notion of generalized Hankel operator as follows: Given two contractions and , an operatorX: is said to be a generalized Hankel operator ifT ₂ X=XT ₁ ^* andX satisfies a boundedness condition that depends on the unitary parts of the minimal isometric dilations ofT ₁ andT ₂. The purpose behind this kind of generalization is to study which properties of classical Hankel operators depend on their characteristic intertwining relation rather than on the theory of analytic functions. Following this spirit, we give appropriate versions of a number of results about compact and finite rank Hankel operators that hold within Pták's generalized framework. Namely, we extend Adamyan, Arov and Krein's estimates of the essential norm of a Hankel operator, Hartman's characterization of compact Hankel operators and Kronecker's characterization of finite rank Hankel operators.Dedicated to the memory of our master and friend Vlastimil Pták     

On the Range of Elementary Operators

Let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space H into itself. Let A = (A₁,A₂,.., A_n) and B = (B₁, B₂,.., B_n) be n-tuples in B(H), we define the elementary operator by In this paper we initiate the study of some properties of the range of such operators.     

Some applications of Banach algebra techniques

We consider some functional Banach algebras with multiplications as the usual convolution product * and the so‐called Duhamel product ?. We study the structure of generators of the Banach algebras (C⁽ⁿ⁾[0, 1], *) and (C⁽ⁿ⁾[0, 1], ?). We also use the Banach algebra techniques in the calculation of spectral multiplicities and extended eigenvectors of some operators. Moreover, we give in terms of extended eigenvectors a new characterization of a special class of composition operators acting in the Lebesgue space L^p[0, 1] by the formula (C_φf)(x) = f(φ(x)).     

Differences of Composition Operators between Weighted Banach Spaces of Holomorphic Functions on the Unit Polydisk

We consider differences of composition operators between given weighted Banach spaces H ^∞ _v or H ⁰ _v of analytic functions defined on the unit polydisk D ^N with weighted sup-norms and give estimates for the distance of these differences to the space of compact operators. We also study boundedness and compactness of the operators. This paper is an extension of [6] where the one-dimensional case is treated. Received: May 15, 2007. Revised: October 8, 2007.     

Riesz potentials and integral geometry in the space of rectangular matrices

Riesz potentials on the space of rectangular n×m matrices arise in diverse “higher rank” problems of harmonic analysis, representation theory, and integral geometry. In the rank-one case m=1 they coincide with the classical operators of Marcel Riesz. We develop new tools and obtain a number of new results for Riesz potentials of functions of matrix argument. The main topics are the Fourier transform technique, representation of Riesz potentials by convolutions with a positive measure supported by submanifolds of matrices of rank<m, the behavior on smooth and L^p functions. The results are applied to investigation of Radon transforms on the space of real rectangular matrices.     

Duality of Hardy and BMO spaces associated with operators with heat kernel bounds on product domains

Let L be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup on L² (?) with suitable upper bounds on its heat kernels, and L has a bounded holomorphic functional calculus on L² (?). In this article, we introduce new function spaces H _L ¹ (? × ?) and BMO_L(? × ?) (dual to the space H _L* ¹ (? × ?) in which L* is the adjoint operator of L) associated with L, and they generalize the classical Hardy and BMO spaces on product domains. We obtain a molecular decomposition of function for H _L ¹ (? × ?) by using the theory of tent spaces and establish a characterization of BMO_L (? × ?) in terms of Carleson conditions. We also show that the John-Nirenberg inequality holds for the space BMO_L (? × ?). Applications include large classes of differential operators such as the magnetic Schrödinger operators and second-order elliptic operators of divergence form or nondivergence form in one dimension.
