A remark on Schatten-von Neumann properties of resolvent differences of generalized Robin Laplacians on bounded domains

In this note we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the s-numbers of the resolvent difference of two generalized self-adjoint, maximal dissipative or maximal accumulative Robin Laplacians on a bounded domain Ω with smooth boundary ∂Ω. For this we apply the recently introduced abstract notion of quasi boundary triples and Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators together with Krein type resolvent formulae and well-known eigenvalue asymptotics of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ∂Ω. It is shown that the resolvent difference of two generalized Robin Laplacians belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann class of any order p for which

     

Heisenberg operators of a Dirac particle interacting with the quantum radiation field

We consider a quantum system of a Dirac particle interacting with the quantum radiation field, where the Dirac particle is in a 4×4-Hermitian matrix-valued potential V. Under the assumption that the total Hamiltonian HV is essentially self-adjoint (we denote its closure by ), we investigate properties of the Heisenberg operator (j=1,2,3) of the j-th position operator of the Dirac particle at time t∈R and its strong derivative dxj(t)/dt (the j-th velocity operator), where xj is the multiplication operator by the j-th coordinate variable xj (the j-th position operator at time t=0). We prove that D(xj), the domain of the position operator xj, is invariant under the action of the unitary operator for all t∈R and establish a mathematically rigorous formula for xj(t). Moreover, we derive asymptotic expansions of Heisenberg operators in the coupling constant q∈R (the electric charge of the Dirac particle).     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of B-Riesz potential in the B-Morrey spaces

We consider the generalized shift operator, associated with the Laplace-Bessel differential operator . The maximal operator Mγ (B-maximal operator) and the Riesz potential (B-Riesz potential), associated with the generalized shift operator are investigated. At first, we prove that the B-maximal operator Mγ is bounded from the B-Morrey space Lp,λ,γ to Lp,λ,γ for all 1<p<∞ and 0?λ<n+|γ|. We prove that the B-Riesz potential , 0<α<n+|γ| is bounded from the B-Morrey space Lp,λ,γ to Lq,λ,γ if and only if α/(n+|γ|−λ)=1/p−1/q, 1<p<(n+|γ|−λ)/α. Also we prove that the B-Riesz potential is bounded from the B-Morrey space L1,λ,γ to the weak B-Morrey space WLq,λ,γ if and only if α/(n+|γ|−λ)=1−1/q.     

The L resolvents of second-order elliptic operators of divergence form under the Dirichlet condition

Let A be the 2mth-order elliptic operator of divergence form with bounded measurable coefficients defined in a domain Ω of . For 1<p<∞ we regard A as a bounded linear operator from the L^p Sobolev space to H−m,p(Ω). It is known that when , we can construct the resolvent (A−λ)⁻¹ and estimate its operator norm for some λ if the leading coefficients are uniformly continuous. In this paper, we try to extend this result to a general domain. It is successful when m=1 if Ω is the half-space or a domain with C² bounded boundary. For m>1 it is shown that the problem is reduced to the case where Ω is the half-space and A is a homogeneous operator with constant coefficients. We also give a perturbation theorem.     

The symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with real parameter

The Symmetric Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials for λ>0 are well-studied polynomials. These are polynomials orthogonal on the real line with respect to a continuous, positive real measure. For λ?0, are also polynomials, however they are not orthogonal on the real line with respect to any real measure. This paper defines a non-standard inner product with respect to which the polynomials for λ?0, become orthogonal polynomials. It examines the major properties of the polynomials, for λ>0 which are also shared by the polynomials, for λ?0.     

Symmetric operators with real defect subspaces of the maximal dimension. Applications to differential operators

Let H be a Hilbert space and let A be a simple symmetric operator in H with equal deficiency indices d:=n_±(A)<∞. We show that if, for all λ in an open interval I⊂R, the dimension of defect subspaces Nλ(A) (=Ker(A^?−λ)) coincides with d, then every self-adjoint extension has no continuous spectrum in I and the point spectrum of is nowhere dense in I. Application of this statement to differential operators makes it possible to generalize the known results by Weidmann to the case of an ordinary differential expression with both singular endpoints and arbitrary equal deficiency indices of the minimal operator.     

On fractional maximal function and fractional integrals associated with the Dunkl operator on the real line

In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters for the boundedness of the Dunkl-type fractional maximal operator Mβ, and the Dunkl-type fractional integral operator Iβ from the spaces Lp,α(R) to the spaces Lq,α(R), 1<p<q<∞, and from the spaces L1,α(R) to the weak spaces WLq,α(R), 1<q<∞. In the case , we prove that the operator Mβ is bounded from the space Lp,α(R) to the space L∞,α(R), and the Dunkl-type modified fractional integral operator is bounded from the space Lp,α(R) to the Dunkl-type BMO space BMOα(R). By this results we get boundedness of the operators Mβ and Iβ from the Dunkl-type Besov spaces to the spaces , 1<p<q<∞, 1/p−1/q=β/(2α+2), 1?θ?∞ and 0<s<1.     

How to regularize singular vectors and kill the dynamical Weyl group

Let be a simple Lie algebra, and let M_λ be the Verma module over with highest weight λ. For a finite-dimensional -module U we introduce a notion of a regularizing operator, acting in U, which makes the meromorphic family of intertwining operators holomorphic, and conjugates the dynamical Weyl group operators A_w(λ)∈End(U) to constant operators. We establish fundamental properties of regularizing operators, including uniqueness, and prove the existence of a regularizing operator in the case .     

Eigenvalue asymptotics for the Schrödinger operators on the hyperbolic plane

In this paper we consider the Schrödinger operator on the hyperbolic plane , where is the hyperbolic Laplacian and V is a scalar potential on . It is proven that, under an appropriate condition on V at ‘infinity’, the number of eigenvalues of H_V less than λ is asymptotically equal to the canonical volume of the quasi-classically allowed region as λ→∞. Our proof is based on the probabilistic methods and the standard Tauberian argument as in the proof of Theorem 10.5 in Simon (Functional Integration and Quantum Physics, Academic Press, New York, 1979).     

The mixed boundary value problem, Krein resolvent formulas and spectral asymptotic estimates

For a second-order symmetric strongly elliptic operator A on a smooth bounded open set in Rn, the mixed problem is defined by a Neumann-type condition on a part Σ₊ of the boundary and a Dirichlet condition on the other part Σ₋. We show a Kre?n resolvent formula, where the difference between its resolvent and the Dirichlet resolvent is expressed in terms of operators acting on Sobolev spaces over Σ₊. This is used to obtain a new Weyl-type spectral asymptotics formula for the resolvent difference (where upper estimates were known before), namely , where C0,+ is proportional to the area of Σ₊, in the case where A is principally equal to the Laplacian.

Heat-diffusion maximal operators for Laguerre semigroups with negative parameters

We prove L^p boundedness for the maximal operator of the heat semigroup associated to the Laguerre functions, , when the parameter α is greater than -1. Namely, the maximal operator is of strong type (p,p) if p>1 and , when -1<α<0. If α?0 there is strong type for 1<p?∞. The behavior at the end points is studied in detail.     

The reduced effect of a single scattering with a low-mass particle via a point interaction

In this article, we study a second-order expansion for the effect induced on a large quantum particle which undergoes a single scattering with a low-mass particle via a repulsive point interaction. We give an approximation with third-order error in λ to the map , where G∈B(L²(Rn)) is a heavy-particle observable, ρ∈B₁(Rn) is the density matrix corresponding to the state of the light particle, is the mass ratio of the light particle to the heavy particle, Sλ∈B(L²(Rn)⊗L²(Rn)) is the scattering matrix between the two particles due to a repulsive point interaction, and the trace is over the light-particle Hilbert space. The third-order error is bounded in operator norm for dimensions one and three using a weighted operator norm on G.     

Hardy type inequality and application to the stability of degenerate stationary waves

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic stability of degenerate stationary waves for viscous conservation laws in the half space. It is proved that the solution converges to the corresponding degenerate stationary wave at the rate t−α/4 as t→∞, provided that the initial perturbation is in the weighted space for α<αc(q):=3+2/q, where q is the degeneracy exponent. This restriction on α is best possible in the sense that the corresponding linearized operator cannot be dissipative in for α>αc(q). Our stability analysis is based on the space-time weighted energy method combined with a Hardy type inequality with the best possible constant.     

The asymptotic lift of a completely positive map

Starting with a unit-preserving normal completely positive map acting on a von Neumann algebra—or more generally a dual operator system—we show that there is a unique reversible system (i.e., a complete order automorphism α of a dual operator system N) that captures all of the asymptotic behavior of L, called the asymptotic lift of L. This provides a noncommutative generalization of the Frobenius theorems that describe the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of powers of a stochastic n×n matrix. In cases where M is a von Neumann algebra, the asymptotic lift is shown to be a W^∗-dynamical system (N,Z), and we identify (N,Z) as the tail flow of the minimal dilation of L. We are also able to identify the Poisson boundary of L as the fixed algebra Nα. In general, we show the action of the asymptotic lift is trivial iff L is slowly oscillating in the sense that
