First order differential operators in white noise analysis

Let be the space of test white noise functionals.

We next show that a first order -differential operator is indeed a continuous derivation under the product . We finally characterize by means of rotation-invariance and continuous derivation under the product . Here and are the Gross Laplacian and the number operator on , respectively.

     

Some remarks on spreading models and mixed Tsirelson spaces

We prove that if a Banach space with a bimonotone shrinking basis does not contain spreading models but every block sequence of the basis contains a further block sequence which is a spreading model for every , then every subspace has a further subspace which is arbitrarily distortable. We also prove that a mixed Tsirelson space , such that , does not contain spreading models.

Chains of strongly non-reflexive dual groups of integer-valued continuous functions

Answering a question of Eklof-Mekler (Almost free modules, set-theoretic methods, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1990), we prove: (1) If there exists a non-reflecting stationary set of consisting of ordinals of cofinality for each , then there exist abelian groups such that and for each . (2) There exist abelian groups such that for each and for each . The groups are the groups of -valued continuous functions on a topological space and their dual groups.

Periodic hyperfunctions and Fourier series

Every periodic hyperfunction is a bounded hyperfunction and can be represented as an infinite sum of derivatives of bounded continuous periodic functions. Also, Fourier coefficients of periodic hyperfunctions are of infra-exponential growth in , i.e., for every and every . This is a natural generalization of the polynomial growth of the Fourier coefficients of distributions.

To show these we introduce the space of hyperfunctions of growth which generalizes the space of distributions of growth and represent generalized functions as the initial values of smooth solutions of the heat equation.
