Wavelets and Geometric Structure for Function Spaces

Abstract With Littlewood–Paley analysis, Peetre and Triebel classified, systematically, almost all the usual function spaces into two classes of spaces: Besov spaces and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces ; but the structure of dual spaces of is very different from that of Besov spaces or that of Triebel–Lizorkin spaces, and their structure cannot be analysed easily in the Littlewood–Paley analysis. Our main goal is to characterize in tent spaces with wavelets. By the way, some applications are given: (i) Triebel–Lizorkin spaces for p = ∞ defined by Littlewood–Paley analysis cannot serve as the dual spaces of Triebel–Lizorkin spaces for p = 1; (ii) Some inclusion relations among these above spaces and some relations among and L ¹ are studied.

Lifting Unitary Elements with Application to Approximately Inner Automorphisms

Let A be a separable unital nuclear simple C＊-algebra with torsion K0 （A）, free K1 （A） and with the UCT. Let T ： A→M（K）/K be a unital homomorphism. We prove that every unitary element in the commutant of T（A） is an exponent, thus it is liftable. We also prove that each automorphism α on E with α ∈ Aut0（A） is approximately inner, where E is a unital essential extension of A by K and α is the automorphism on A induced by α.     

Problem with Critical Sobolev Exponent and with Weight

The authors consider the problem: -div(p▽u) = uq-1 λu, u > 0 inΩ, u = 0 on (?)Ω, whereΩis a bounded domain in Rn, n≥3, p :Ω→R is a given positive weight such that p∈H1 (Ω)∩C(Ω),λis a real constant and q = 2n/n-2, and study the effect of the behavior of p near its minima and the impact of the geometry of domain on the existence of solutions for the above problem.     

Supersaturation For Ramsey-Turán Problems

For an l-graph , the Turán number is the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex l-graph containing no copy of . The limit is known to exist [8]. The Ramsey–Turán density is defined similarly to except that we restrict to only those with independence number o(n). A result of Erdős and Sós [3] states that as long as for every edge E of there is another edge E′of for which |E∩E′|≥2. Therefore a natural question is whether there exists for which . Another variant proposed in [3] requires the stronger condition that every set of vertices of of size at least εn (0<ε<1) has density bounded below by some threshold. By definition, for every . However, even is not known for very many l-graphs when l>2. We prove the existence of a phenomenon similar to supersaturation for Turán problems for hypergraphs. As a consequence, we construct, for each l≥3, infinitely many l-graphs for which . We also prove that the 3-graph with triples 12a, 12b, 12c, 13a, 13b, 13c, 23a, 23b, 23c, abc, satisfies . The existence of a hypergraph satisfying was conjectured by Erdős and Sós [3], proved by Frankl and R?dl [6], and later by Sidorenko [14]. Our short proof is based on different ideas and is simpler than these earlier proofs. * Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants DMS-9970325 and DMS-0400812, and an Alfred P.

Effective Reducibility of a Class of Linear Differential Equations with Quasiperiodic Coefficients

In this paper we consider the effective reducibility of the following linear differentialequation: x = (A ∈Q(t,∈))x, |∈| ≤ ∈0, where A is a constant matrix, Q(t,e) is quasiperiodic in t, and e is a small perturbation parameter. We prove that if the eigenvalues of A and the basic frequencies of Q satisfy some non-resonant conditions, the linear differential equation can be reduced to y = (A^*(∈) R^*(t, ∈))y, |∈| ≤ ∈o, where R^* is exponentially small in ∈.

Hyperbolic Mapping Classes and Their Lifts on the Bers Fiber Space

Let S be a Riemann surface with genus p and n punctures. Assume that 3p - 3 n ＞ 0 and n ≥ 1. Let a be a puncture of S and let (～S) = S ∪ {a}. Then all mapping classes in the mapping class group Mods that fixes the puncture a can be projected to mapping classes of Mod(～S) under the forgetful map. In this paper the author studies the mapping classes in Mods that can be projected to a given hyperbolic mapping class in Mod(～S).     

Fully-Dynamic Min-Cut*

We show that we can maintain up to polylogarithmic edge connectivity for a fully-dynamic graph in worst-case time per edge insertion or deletion. Within logarithmic factors, this matches the best time bound for 1-edge connectivity. Previously, no o(n) bound was known for edge connectivity above 3, and even for 3-edge connectivity, the best update time was O(n^2/3), dating back to FOCS'92. Our algorithm maintains a concrete min-cut in terms of a pointer to a tree spanning one side of the cut plus ability to list the cut edges in O(log n) time per edge. By dealing with polylogarithmic edge connectivity, we immediately get a sampling based expected factor (1+o(1)) approximation to general edge connectivity in time per edge insertion or deletion. This algorithm also maintains a pointer to one side of a near-minimal cut, but if we want to list the cut edges in O(log n) time per edge, the update time increases to . * A preliminary version of this work was presented at the The 33rd ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing( STOC) [22], Crete, Greece, July 2001.     

The Invariance Principle for p-θ^→ Chain

There are two parts in this paper. In the first part we construct the Markov chain in random environment（MCRE）, the skew product Markov chain and p-θ^→ chain from a random transition matrix and a two-dimensional probability distribution, and in the second part we prove that the invarianee principle for p-θ^→ chain, a more complex non-homogeneous Markov chain, is true under some reasonable conditions. This result is more powerful.

Symmetrization of Closure Operators and Visibility

For an arbitrary set E and a given closure operator , we want to construct a symmetric closure operator via some – possibly infinite – iteration process. If E is finite, the corresponding symmetric closure operator . defines a matroid. If and is the convex closure operator, turns out to be the affine closure operator. Moreover, we apply the symmetrization process to closure operators induced by visibility. Received March 9, 2005

On the Convergence of Products γ^-sh1hn in the Adams Spectral Sequence

Abstract Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra and S the sphere spectrum localized at p, where p is an odd prime. In 2001 Lin detected a new family in the stable homotopy of spheres which is represented by （b0hn-h1bn-1）∈ ExtA^3,（p^n＋p）q（Zp,Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence. At the same time, he proved that i.（hlhn） ∈ExtA^2,（p^n＋P）q（H^＊M, Zp） is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectral sequence and converges to a nontrivial element ξn∈π（p^n＋p）q-2M. In this paper, with Lin＇s results, we make use of the Adams spectral sequence and the May spectral sequence to detect a new nontrivial family of homotopy elements jj′j^-γsi^-i′ξn in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. The new one is of degree p^nq ＋ sp^2q ＋ spq ＋ （s - 2）q ＋ s - 6 and is represented up to a nonzero scalar by hlhnγ-s in the E2^s＋2,＊-term of the Adams spectral sequence, where p ≥ 7, q = 2（p - 1）, n ≥ 4 and 3 ≤ s 〈 p.     

A Geometric Problem and the Hopf Lemma. Ⅱ

Abstract A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth n-dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in ℝⁿ⁺¹, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of M in a hyperplane X_n+1 =constant in case M satisfies: for any two points (X′,X_n+1), on M, with , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional conditions. Some variations of the Hopf Lemma are also presented. Several open problems are described. Part I dealt with corresponding one dimensional problems. (Dedicated to the memory of Shiing-Shen Chern) * Partially supported by NSF grant DMS-0401118.     

The Crossed Product by a Partial Endomorphism

Given a closed ideal I in a C*-algebra A, an ideal J (not necessarily closed) in I , a *-homomorphism α : A → M(I ) and a map L : J → A with some properties, based on earlier works of Pimsner and Katsura, we define a C*-algebra which we call the Crossed Product by a Partial Endomorphism. We introduce the Crossed Product by a Partial Endomorphism induced by a local homeomorphism σ : U → X where X is a compact Hausdorff space and U is an open subset of X. A bijection between the gauge invariant ideals of and the σ, σ^-1- invariant open subsets of X is showed. If (X, σ) has the property that is topologically free for each closed σ, σ^-1-invariant subset X′ of X then we obtain a bijection between the ideals of and the open σ, σ^-1-invariant subsets of X. *Partially supported by CNPq. **Supported by CNPq.
