Lévy processes and Fourier multipliers

We study Fourier multipliers which result from modulating jumps of Lévy processes. Using the theory of martingale transforms we prove that these operators are bounded in Lp(Rd) for 1<p<∞ and we obtain the same explicit bound for their norm as the one known for the second order Riesz transforms.     

Herz spaces and restricted summability of Fourier transforms and Fourier series

A general summability method, the so-called θ-summability is considered for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series. A new inequality for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function is verified. It is proved that if the Fourier transform of θ is in a Herz space, then the restricted maximal operator of the θ-means of a distribution is of weak type (1,1), provided that the supremum in the maximal operator is taken over a cone-like set. From this it follows that over a cone-like set a.e. for all f∈L₁(Rd). Moreover, converges to f(x) over a cone-like set at each Lebesgue point of f∈L₁(Rd) if and only if the Fourier transform of θ is in a suitable Herz space. These theorems are extended to Wiener amalgam spaces as well. The Riesz and Weierstrass summations are investigated as special cases of the θ-summation.     

Weak type inequalities for the ℓ 1-summability of higher dimensional Fourier transforms

Under some weak conditions on θ, it was verified in [21, 17] that the maximal operator of the ? ₁-θ-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from H _p (? ^d ) to L _p (? ^d ) for all d/(d + α) < p ≤ ∞, where 0 < α ≤ 1 depends only on θ. In this paper, we prove that the maximal operator is bounded from H _d/(d+α)(? ^d ) to the weak L _d/(d+α)(? ^d ) space. The analogous result is given for Fourier series, as well. Some special cases of the ? ₁-θ-summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picard, Bessel, Fejér, de La Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski and Riesz summations.     

? 1-Summability of d-Dimensional Fourier Transforms

A general summability method of more-dimensional Fourier transforms is given with the help of a continuous function θ. Under some weak conditions on θ we show that the maximal operator of the ℓ ₁–θ-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from H _p (ℝ ^d ) to L _p (ℝ ^d ) for all d/(d+α)<p≤∞ and, consequently, is of weak type (1,1), where 0<α≤1 depends only on θ. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of the one-dimensional summability result due to Lebesgue, more exactly, the ℓ ₁–θ-means of a function f∈L ₁(ℝ ^d ) converge a.e. to f. Moreover, we prove that the ℓ ₁–θ-means are uniformly bounded on the spaces H _p (ℝ ^d ), and so they converge in norm (d/(d+α)<p<∞). Similar results are shown for conjugate functions. Some special cases of the ℓ ₁–θ-summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Fejér, de La Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski, and Riesz summations.     

Triangular summability of two-dimensional Fourier transforms

We consider the triangular summability of two-dimensional Fourier transforms, and show that the maximal operator of the triangular-??-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from H _p (?²) to L _p (?²) for all 2/(2 + ??) < p ?? ??; consequently, it is of weak type (1,1), where 0 < ?? ?? 1 is depending only on ??. As a consequence, we obtain that the triangular-??-means of a function f ?? L ₁(?²) converge to f a.e. Norm convergence is also considered, and similar results are shown for the conjugate functions. Some special cases of the triangular-??-summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Fejér, de la Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski, and Riesz summations.     

Absolutely convergent Fourier series and function classes. II

We study the smoothness property of a function f with absolutely convergent Fourier series, and give best possible sufficient conditions in terms of its Fourier coefficients to ensure that f belongs to one of the Zygmund classes Λ_∗(α) and λ_∗(α) for some 0<α?2. This paper is a natural supplement to our earlier one [F. Móricz, Absolutely convergent Fourier series and function classes, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 324 (2) (2006) 1168-1177] under the same title, and we keep its notations.     

Extreme points of Banach lattices related to conditional expectations

Let (X,F,μ) be a complete probability space, B a sub-σ-algebra, and Φ the probabilistic conditional expectation operator determined by B. Let K be the Banach lattice {f∈L¹(X,F,μ):‖Φ(|f|)_‖∞<∞} with the norm ‖f‖=‖Φ(|f|)_‖∞. We prove the following theorems:

(1)

The closed unit ball of K contains an extreme point if and only if there is a localizing set E for B such that supp(Φ(χE))=X.

(2)

Suppose that there is n∈N such that f?nΦ(f) for all positive f in L^∞(X,F,μ). Then K has the uniformly λ-property and every element f in the complex K with is a convex combination of at most 2n extreme points in the closed unit ball of K.

     

An operator-valued Tb theorem

We establish conditions similar to the Tb theorem of David, Journé and Semmes which guarantee the boundedness of an integral transformation T with L(X)-valued kernel on , where 1<p<∞ and X is a Banach space with the unconditionality property of martingale differences (UMD).     

Θ-summability of Fourier series

A general summability method of orthogonal series is given with the help of an integrable function Θ. Under some conditions on Θ we show that if the maximal Fejér operator is bounded from a Banach space X to Y, then the maximal Θ-operator is also bounded. As special cases the trigonometric Fourier, Walsh, Walsh--Kaczmarz, Vilenkin and Ciesielski--Fourier series and the Fourier transforms are considered. It is proved that the maximal operator of the Θ-means of these Fourier series is bounded from H _p to L _p (1/2<p≤; ∞) and is of weak type (1,1). In the endpoint case p=1/2 a weak type inequality is derived. As a consequence we obtain that the Θ-means of a function f∈L ₁ converge a.e. to f. Some special cases of the Θ-summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Riesz, de la Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski and Riemann summations. Similar results are verified for several-dimensional Fourier series and Hardy spaces.     

Inner functions as improving multipliers

If X⊂Y are two classes of analytic functions in the unit disk D and θ is an inner function, θ is said to be (X,Y)-improving, if every function f∈X satisfying fθ∈Y must actually satisfy fθ∈X. This notion has been recently introduced by K.M. Dyakonov. In this paper we study the (X,Y)-improving inner functions for several pairs of spaces (X,Y). In particular, we prove that for any p∈(0,1) the (Qp,BMOA)-improving inner functions and the (Qp,B)-improving inner functions are precisely the inner functions which belong to the space Qp. Here, B is the Bloch space. We also improve some results of Dyakonov on the subject regarding Lipschitz spaces and Besov spaces.     

Basic Fourier series on a q-linear grid: Convergence theorems

For 0<q<1 define the symmetric q-linear operator acting on a suitable function f(x) by δf(x)=f(q1/2x)−f(q−1/2x). The q-linear initial value problem , f(0)=1, has two entire functions Cq(z) and Sq(z) as linearly independent solutions, which are orthogonal on a discrete set. Sufficient conditions for pointwise convergence and for uniform convergence of the corresponding Fourier expansion are given.     

Absolutely convergent Fourier series and function classes

We study the smoothness property of a function f with absolutely convergent Fourier series, and give best possible sufficient conditions in terms of its Fourier coefficients to ensure that f belongs either to one of the Lipschitz classes Lip(α) and lip(α) for some 0<α?1, or to one of the Zygmund classes Λ_∗(1) and λ_∗(1). Our theorems generalize some of those by Boas [R.P. Boas Jr., Fourier series with positive coefficients, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 17 (1967) 463-483] and one by Németh [J. Németh, Fourier series with positive coefficients and generalized Lipschitz classes, Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 54 (1990) 291-304]. We also prove a localized version of a theorem by Paley [R.E.A.C. Paley, On Fourier series with positive coefficients, J. London Math. Soc. 7 (1932) 205-208] on the existence and continuity of the derivative of f.     

Topology of random clique complexes

In a seminal paper, Erd?s and Rényi identified a sharp threshold for connectivity of the random graph G(n,p). In particular, they showed that if p?logn/n then G(n,p) is almost always connected, and if p?logn/n then G(n,p) is almost always disconnected, as n→∞.The clique complexX(H) of a graph H is the simplicial complex with all complete subgraphs of H as its faces. In contrast to the zeroth homology group of X(H), which measures the number of connected components of H, the higher dimensional homology groups of X(H) do not correspond to monotone graph properties. There are nevertheless higher dimensional analogues of the Erd?s-Rényi Theorem.We study here the higher homology groups of X(G(n,p)). For k>0 we show the following. If p=n^α, with α<−1/k or α>−1/(2k+1), then the kth homology group of X(G(n,p)) is almost always vanishing, and if −1/k<α<−1/(k+1), then it is almost always nonvanishing.We also give estimates for the expected rank of homology, and exhibit explicit nontrivial classes in the nonvanishing regime. These estimates suggest that almost all d-dimensional clique complexes have only one nonvanishing dimension of homology, and we cannot rule out the possibility that they are homotopy equivalent to wedges of a spheres.     

Restricted summability of Fourier transforms and local Hardy spaces

A general summability method, the so-called θ-summability is considered for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms. Under some conditions on θ, it is proved that the maximal operator of the θ-means defined in a cone is bounded from the amalgam Hardy space W（hp, e∞） to W（Lp,e∞）. This implies the almost everywhere convergence of the θ-means in a cone for all f ∈ W（L1, e∞） velong to L1.     

On functions of bounded p-variation

We obtain estimates of the total p-variation (1<p<∞) and other related functionals for a periodic function f∈Lp[0,1] in terms of its Lp-modulus of continuity ωp(f;δ). These estimates are sharp for any rate of the decay of ωp(f;δ). Moreover, the constant coefficients in them depend on parameters in an optimal way.     

Real interpolation method on spaces of scalar integrable functions with respect to vector measures

For a given measurable space (Ω,Σ), and a vector measure m:Σ→X with values in a Banach space X we consider the spaces of p-power integrable and weakly integrable, respectively, functions with respect to the measure m, Lp(m) and , for 1?p<∞. In this note we describe the real interpolated spaces that we obtain when the K-method is applied to any couple of these spaces.     

Weight characterization of an averaging operator

Let 0<α<1 and , x?0. A factorization theorem is given, which provides a weight characterization of the space of all positive functions f such that T_αf belongs to L^p_w, 1<p<∞, w a weight function. This theorem yields a two-sided estimate for the norm of T_αf. An analogous result holds for α=0. In the latter case, it is also shown that the averaging Hardy operator T₀ and its dual  are comparable in L^p_w, 1<p<∞, if w belongs to the Muckenhoupt weight class A_p.     

Annihilating sets for the short time Fourier transform

We obtain a class of subsets of R2d such that the support of the short time Fourier transform (STFT) of a signal f∈L²(Rd) with respect to a window g∈L²(Rd) cannot belong to this class unless f or g is identically zero. Moreover we prove that the L²-norm of the STFT is essentially concentrated in the complement of such a set. A generalization to other Hilbert spaces of functions or distributions is also provided. To this aim we obtain some results on compactness of localization operators acting on weighted modulation Hilbert spaces.     

A Fourier approach for nonlinear equations with singular data

For 0 < m < n, p a positive integer and p > n/(n ? m), we study the inhomogeneous equation L _u +u ^p + V (x)u + f(x) = 0 in ? ⁿ with singular data f and V. The symbol σ of the operator L is bounded from below by |ξ| ^m . Examples of L are Laplacian, biharmonic and fractional order operators. Here f and V can have infinite singular points, change sign, oscillate at infinity, and be measures. Also, f and V can blow up on an unbounded (n?1)-manifold. The solution u can change sign, be nonradial and singular. If σ, f and V are radial, then u is radial. The assumptions on f and V are in terms of their Fourier transforms and we provide some examples.
