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）.     

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.     

Statistical manifolds are statistical models

In this note we prove that any smooth (C¹ resp.) statistical manifold can be embedded into the space of probability measures on a finite set. As a result, we get positive answers to Lauritzen’s question and Amari’s question on a realization of smooth (C¹ resp.) statistical manifolds as finite dimensional statistical models.     

On global integrability of BMO functions on general domains

Extending results of Staples and Smith-Stegenga, we characterize measurable subsets of a given domainD ⊃R ⁿ on which BMO(D) functions areL ^p integrable or exponentially integrable. In particular, we characterize uniform domains by the integrability of BMO functions. We also remark on the boundedness of domains satisfying a certain integrability condition for the quasihyperbolic metric.     

Elliptic Systems of PDE with BMO-coefficients

The present paper is concerned with elliptic systems with BMO coefficients: div(Au)=divF, where A(x) is a positive definite matrix whose entries are in BMO and F is a given matrix field in L ^p . We show existence and uniqueness of the distributional solution of class W ^1,p , provided p is close to 2, depending on the BMO norm of A. This result is achieved using a refinement of a classical Theorem of Coifman Rochberg and Weiss about commutators with BMO functions.     

Logarithmic mean oscillation on the polydisc,endpoint results for multi-parameter paraproducts,and commutators on BMO

We study boundedness properties of a class ofmultiparameter paraproducts on the dual space of the dyadic Hardy space H _d ¹ (T ^N ), the dyadic product BMO space BMO ^d (T ^N ). For this, we introduce a notion of logarithmic mean oscillation on the polydisc. We also obtain a result on the boundedness of iterated commutators on BMO [0, 1] ^N ).     

Bmo boundedness for banach space valued singular integrals

In this paper, we consider a class of Banach space valued singular integrals. The Lp boundedness of these operators has already been obtained. We shall discuss their boundedness from BMO to BMO. As applications, we get BMO boundednessfor the classic g-function and the Marcinkiewicz integral. Some known results are improved.     

Parabolic Equations with Partially BMO Coefficients and Boundary Value Problems in Sobolev Spaces with Mixed Norms

Second order parabolic equations in Sobolev spaces with mixed norms are studied. The leading coefficients (except a ¹¹) are measurable in time and one spatial variable, and have small BMO (bounded mean oscillation) semi-norms as functions of the other spatial variables. The coefficient a ¹¹ is measurable in time and have a small BMO semi-norm in the spatial variables. The unique solvability of equations in the whole space is established. Then this result is applied to solving Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems for parabolic equations defined on a half-space or on a bounded domain.     

Characterizations of BMO associated with Gauss measures via commutators of local fractional integrals

Let dγ(x) ≡ π ^−n/2 e ^{−|x| 2} dx for all x ∈ ℝ ⁿ be the Gauss measure on ℝ ⁿ . In this paper, the authors establish the characterizations of the space BMO(γ) of Mauceri and Meda via commutators of either local fractional integral operators or local fractional maximal operators. To this end, the authors first prove that such a local fractional integral operator of order β is bounded from L ^p (γ) to L ^p/(1−pβ)(γ), or from the Hardy space H ¹(γ) of Mauceri and Meda to L ^1/(1−β)(γ) or from L ^1/β (γ) to BMO(γ), where β ∈ (0, 1) and p ∈ (1, 1/β).     

Hardy and BMO spaces associated to divergence form elliptic operators

Consider a second order divergence form elliptic operator L with complex bounded measurable coefficients. In general, operators based on L, such as the Riesz transform or square function, may lie beyond the scope of the Calderón–Zygmund theory. They need not be bounded in the classical Hardy, BMO and even some L ^p spaces. In this work we develop a theory of Hardy and BMO spaces associated to L, which includes, in particular, a molecular decomposition, maximal and square function characterizations, duality of Hardy and BMO spaces, and a John–Nirenberg inequality.

Second‐order elliptic and parabolic equations with BMO coefficients in the whole space

In this paper, we obtain the global regularity estimates in Orlicz spaces for second‐order divergence elliptic and parabolic equations with BMO coefficients in the whole space. In fact, the global result can follow from the local estimates. As a corollary we obtain L^p‐type regularity estimates for such equations. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A note on commutators of Bochner-Riesz operator

In terms of continuous decomposition and choosing an appropriate BMO function, the authors obtain a sharp necessary condition for L ^p boundedness of the commutators generated by Bochner-Riesz operators below the critical index and BMO functions.      

BMO and Lipschitz Norm Estimates for Composite Operators

In this paper, we obtain Lipschitz and BMO norm inequalities for the composition G ∘ T of the homotopy operator T and Green’s operator G applied to differential forms. We also investigate the relationship among Lipschitz norm, BMO norm and L ^s norm.     

Non-special divisors on real algebraic curves and embeddings into real projective spaces

We show that there is a large class of non-special divisors of relatively small degree on a given real algebraic curve. If the real algebraic curve has many real components, such a divisor gives rise to an embedding (birational embedding, resp.) of the real algebraic curve into the real projective space ℙ ^r for r≥3 (r=2, resp.). We study these embeddings in quite some detail. Received: October 17, 2001?Published online: February 20, 2003     

Characterizations of bounded mean oscillation on the polydisk in terms of Hankel operators and Carleson measures

A scale of BMO spaces appears naturally in product spaces corresponding to the different, yet equivalent, characterizations of the class of functions of bounded mean oscillation in one variable. S.-Y. Chang and R. Fefferman characterized product BMO, the dual of the (real) Hardy spaceH _Re ¹ on product domains, in terms of Carleson measures. Here we describe two other BMO spaces, one contained in and the other containing product BMO, in terms of Carleson measures and Hankel operators. Both of these spaces play a significant role in harmonic analysis of the polydisk and in multivariable operator theory. First author supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

BMO Solvability and the <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>∞</Subscript> Condition for Elliptic Operators

We establish a connection between the absolute continuity of elliptic measure associated with a second order divergence form operator with bounded measurable coefficients with the solvability of an end-point BMO Dirichlet problem. We show that these two notions are equivalent. As a consequence we obtain an end-point perturbation result, i.e., the solvability of the BMO Dirichlet problem implies L ^p solvability for all p>p ₀.     

Equivelar maps on the torus

We give a classification of all equivelar polyhedral maps on the torus. In particular, we classify all triangulations and quadrangulations of the torus admitting a vertex transitive automorphism group. These are precisely the ones which are quotients of the regular tessellations {3,6}, {6,3} or {4,4} by a pure translation group. An explicit formula for the number of combinatorial types of equivelar maps (polyhedral and non-polyhedral) with n vertices is obtained in terms of arithmetic functions in elementary number theory, such as the number of integer divisors of n. The asymptotic behaviour for n→∞ is also discussed, and an example is given for n such that the number of distinct equivelar triangulations of the torus with n vertices is larger than n itself. The numbers of regular and chiral maps are determined separately, as well as the ones for all other kinds of symmetry. Furthermore, arithmetic properties of the integers of type p²+pq+q² (or p²+q², resp.) can be interpreted and visualized by the hierarchy of covering maps between regular and chiral equivelar maps or type {3,6} (or {4,4}, resp.).     

A uniqueness theorem and the Myrberg phenomenon

The Dirichlet irregularity of the origin which is a boundary point of a Zalcman domainR is shown to be sufficient but not necessary for the occurrence of the Myrberg phenomenonH ^∞ (R) =H ^∞ (R) o φ for a two-sheeted unlimited smooth covering surface~R ofR with projection mapφ. The importance of the uniqueness theorem in such a study of the Myrberg phenomenon is stressed. A condition under which the Myrberg phenomenon fails for the covering surface (~R, R, φ) is also considered.

Gradient estimates for elliptic systems in non-smooth domains

We obtain the global W ^1,p , 1 < p < ∞, estimate for the weak solution of an elliptic system with discontinuous coefficients in non-smooth domains without using maximal function approach. It is assumed that the boundary of a bounded domain is well approximated by hyperplanes at every point and at every scale, and that the tensor coefficients belong to BMO space with their BMO semi-norms sufficiently small.
