Distributional Point Values and Convergence of Fourier Series and Integrals

In this article we show that the distributional point values of a tempered distribution are characterized by their Fourier transforms in the following way: If and , and is locally integrable, then distributionally if and only if there exists k such that , for each a > 0, and similarly in the case when is a general distribution. Here means in the Cesaro sense. This result generalizes the characterization of Fourier series of distributions with a distributional point value given in [5] by . We also show that under some extra conditions, as if the sequence belongs to the space for some and the tails satisfy the estimate ,\ as , the asymmetric partial sums\ converge to . We give convergence results in other cases and we also consider the convergence of the asymmetric partial integrals. We apply these results to lacunary Fourier series of distributions.     

Nonperiodic Sampling of Bandlimited Functions on Unions of Rectangular Lattices

It is shown that a function is completely determined by the samples of on sets where and is irrational if and of If then the samples of on and only the first k derivatives of at 0 are required to determine f completely. Higher dimensional analogues of these results, which apply to functions and are proven. The sampling results are sharp in the sense that if any condition is omitted, there exist nonzero and satisfying the rest. It is shown that the one-dimensional sampling sets correspond to Bessel sequences of complex exponentials that are not Riesz bases for A signal processing application in which such sampling sets arise naturally is described in detail.

Counting components ofthe null-cone on tuples

For a finite-dimensional representation of a group G, the diagonal action of G on p-tuples of elements of M, is usually poorly understood. The algorithm presented here computes a geometric characteristic of this action in the case where G is connected and reductive, and is a morphism of algebraic groups: The algorithm takes as input the weight system of M, and it returns the number of irreducible components of the null-cone of G on for large p. The paper concludes with a theorem that if the characteristic is zero and G is semisimple, then only few M have the property that is small for all p.     

Singularity of Vector Valued Measures in Terms of Fourier Transform

We study how the singularity (in the sense of Hausdorff dimension) of a vector valued measure can be affected by certain restrictions imposed on its Fourier transform. The restrictions, we are interested in, concern the direction of the (vector) values of the Fourier transform. The results obtained could be considered as a generalizations of F. and M. Riesz theorem, however a phenomenon, which have no analogy in the scalar case, arise in the vector valued case. As an example of application, we show that every measure from annihilating gradients of embedded in the natural way into i.e., such that for , has Hausdorff dimension at least one. We provide examples which show both completeness and incompleteness of our results.

For define where Pointwise estimates and weighted inequalities describing the local Lipschitz continuity of are established. Sufficient conditions are found for the boundedness of from into and a spherical restriction property is proved. A study of the moment subspaces of is next developed in the one-variable case, for locally integrable, a.e. It includes a decomposition theorem and a complete classification of all possible sequences of moment subspaces in Characterizations are also given for each class. Applications related to the approximation and decomposition of are discussed.     

The Uniqueness of Shift-Generated Duals for Frames in Shift-Invariant Subspaces

Given an invertible matrix B and a finite or countable subset of , we consider the collection generating the closed subspace of . If that collection forms a frame for , one can introduce two different types of shift-generated (SG) dual frames for X, called type I and type II SG-duals, respectively. The main distinction between them is that a SG-dual of type I is required to be contained in the space generated by the original frame while, for a type II SG-dual, one imposes that the range of the frame transform associated with the dual be contained in the range of the frame transform associated with the original frame. We characterize the uniqueness of both types of duals using the Gramian and dual Gramian operators which were introduced in an article by Ron and Shen and are known to play an important role in the theory of shift-invariant spaces.     

Time-Frequency Mean and Variance Sequences of Orthonormal Bases

We show that there exists an orthonormal basis for such that and are bounded sequences. We also show that there does not exist any orthonormal basis for , and being bounded sequences. This is motivated by a question posed by H.S. Shapiro on the mean and variance sequences associated to orthonormal bases.     

Generating Self-Map Monoids of Infinite Sets

Let be a countably infinite set, the group of permutations of , and the monoid of self-maps of . Given two subgroups , let us write if there exists a finite subset such that the groups generated by and are equal. Bergman and Shelah showed that the subgroups which are closed in the function topology on S fall into exactly four equivalence classes with respect to . Letting denote the obvious analog of for submonoids of E, we prove an analogous result for a certain class of submonoids of E, from which the theorem for groups can be recovered. Along the way, we show that given two subgroups which are closed in the function topology on S, we have if and only if (as submonoids of E), and that for every subgroup (where denotes the closure of G in the function topology in S and its closure in the function topology in E).     

Nonlinear Approximation by Trigonometric Sums

We investigate the -error of approximation to a function by a linear combination of exponentials on where the frequencies are allowed to depend on We bound this error in terms of the smoothness and other properties of and show that our bounds are best possible in the sense of approximation of certain classes of functions.

A Lattice of Quasivarieties of Normal Cryptogroups

A normal cryptogroup S is a completely regular semigroup in which is a congruence and is a normal band. We represent S as a strong semilattice of completely simple semigroups, and may set For each we set and represent by means of an h-quintuple These parameters are used to characterize certain quasivarieties of normal cryptogroups. Specifically, we construct the lattice of quasivarieties generated by the (quasi)varieties and This is the lattice generated by the lattice of quasivarieties of normal bands, groups and completely simple semigroups. We also determine the B-relation on the lattice of all quasivarieties of normal cryptogroups. Each quasivariety studied is characterized in several ways.     

Affine pseudo-planes with torus actions

An affine pseudo-plane X is a smooth affine surface defined over which is endowed with an -fibration such that every fiber is irreducible and only one fiber is a multiple fiber. If there is a hyperbolic -action on X and X is an -surface, we shall show that the universal covering is isomorphic to an affine hypersurface in the affine 3-space and X is the quotient of by the cyclic group via the action where and It is also shown that a -homology plane X with and a nontrivial -action is an affine pseudo-plane. The automorphism group is determined in the last section.     

Spherical Perturbations of Schrödinger Equations

We give conditions on radial nonnegative weights $W_1We give conditions on radial nonnegative weights and on , for which the a priori inequality holds with constant independent of . Here is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere . Due to the relation between and the tangential component of the gradient, , we obtain some "Morawetz-type" estimates for on . As a consequence we establish some new estimates for the free Schr?dinger propagator , which may be viewed as certain refinements of the -(super)smoothness estimates of Kato and Yajima. These results, in turn, lead to the well-posedness of the initial value problem for certain time dependent first order spherical perturbations of the dimensional Schr?dinger equation.

Duality and Biorthogonality for Weyl-Heisenberg Frames

Let and let In this paper we investigate the relation between the frame operator and the matrix whose entries are given by for Here , for any We show that is bounded as a mapping of into if and only if is bounded as a mapping of into Also we show that if and only if where denotes the identity operator of and respectively, and Next, when generates a frame, we have that has an upper frame bound, and the minimal dual function can be computed as The results of this paper extend, generalize, and rigourize results of Wexler and Raz and of Qian, D. Chen, K. Chen, and Li on the computation of dual functions for finite, discrete-time Gabor expansions to the infinite, continuous-time case. Furthermore, we present a framework in which one can show that certain smoothness and decay properties of a generating a frame are inherited by In particular, we show that when generates a frame Schwartz space). The proofs of the main results of this paper rely heavily on a technique introduced by Tolimieri and Orr for relating frame bound questions on complementary lattices by means of the Poisson summation formula.     

Gabor Time-Frequency Lattices and the Wexler-Raz Identity

Gabor time-frequency lattices are sets of functions of the form generated from a given function by discrete translations in time and frequency. They are potential tools for the decomposition and handling of signals that, like speech or music, seem over short intervals to have well-defined frequencies that, however, change with time. It was recently observed that the behavior of a lattice can be connected to that of a dual lattice Here we establish this interesting relationship and study its properties. We then clarify the results by applying the theory of von Neumann algebras. One outcome is a simple proof that for to span the lattice must have at least unit density. Finally, we exploit the connection between the two lattices to construct expansions having improved convergence and localization properties.     

The Chow ring of punctual Hilbert schemes on toric surfaces

Let X be a smooth projective toric surface, and the Hilbert scheme parametrizing the length d zero-dimensional subschemes of X. We compute the rational Chow ring . More precisely, if is the two-dimensional torus contained in X, we compute the rational equivariant Chow ring and the usual Chow ring is an explicit quotient of the equivariant Chow ring. The case of some quasi-projective toric surfaces such as the affine plane are described by our method too.
