Coloring the complements of intersection graphs of geometric figures

Let be the complement of the intersection graph G of a family of translations of a compact convex figure in Rⁿ. When n=2, we show that , where γ(G) is the size of the minimum dominating set of G. The bound on is sharp. For higher dimension we show that , for n?3. We also study the chromatic number of the complement of the intersection graph of homothetic copies of a fixed convex body in Rⁿ.     

Controlled Hahn-Mazurkiewicz Theorem and some new dimension functions of Peano continua

Given a metric Peano continuum X we introduce and study the Hölder Dimension there is a -Hölder onto map of X as well as its topological counterpart is an admissible metric for X}. We show that for each convex metric continuum X the dimension Hö-dim(X) equals the fractal dimension of X. The topological Hölder dimension Hö-dim(Mn) of the n-dimensional universal Menger cube Mn equals n. On the other hand, there are 1-dimensional rim-finite Peano continua X with arbitrary prescribed Hö-dim(X)?1.     

On duality between étale groupoids and Hopf algebroids

For any étale Lie groupoid G over a smooth manifold M, the groupoid convolution algebra of smooth functions with compact support on G has a natural coalgebra structure over the commutative algebra which makes it into a Hopf algebroid. Conversely, for any Hopf algebroid A over we construct the associated spectral étale Lie groupoid over M such that is naturally isomorphic to G. Both these constructions are functorial, and is fully faithful left adjoint to . We give explicit conditions under which a Hopf algebroid is isomorphic to the Hopf algebroid of an étale Lie groupoid G.     

Non-commutative Arens algebras and their derivations

Given a von Neumann algebra M with a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ, we consider the non-commutative Arens algebra Lω(M,τ)=_?p?1Lp(M,τ) and the related algebras and which are proved to be complete metrizable locally convex *-algebras. The main purpose of the present paper is to prove that any derivation of the algebra is inner and all derivations of the algebras Lω(M,τ) and are spatial and implemented by elements of . In particular we obtain that if the trace τ is finite then any derivation on the non-commutative Arens algebra Lω(M,τ) is inner.     

On the ideal structure of some Banach algebras related to convolution operators on L(G)

Let G be a locally compact group and let p∈(1,∞). Let be any of the Banach spaces C_δ,p(G), PF_p(G), M_p(G), AP_p(G), WAP_p(G), UC_p(G), PM_p(G), of convolution operators on L^p(G). It is shown that PF_p(G)′ can be isometrically embedded into UC_p(G)′. The structure of maximal regular ideals of (and of MA_p(G)″, B_p(G)″, W_p(G)″) is studied. Among other things it is shown that every maximal regular left (right, two sided) ideal in is either dense or is the annihilator of a unique element in the spectrum of A_p(G). Minimal ideals of is also studied. It is shown that a left ideal M in is minimal if and only if , where Ψ is either a right annihilator of or is a topologically x-invariant element (for some x∈G). Some results on minimal right ideals are also given.     

A fractional Helly theorem for convex lattice sets

A set of the form , where is convex and denotes the integer lattice, is called a convex lattice set. It is known that the Helly number of d-dimensional convex lattice sets is 2^d. We prove that the fractional Helly number is only d+1: For every d and every α∈(0,1] there exists β>0 such that whenever F₁,…,F_n are convex lattice sets in such that for at least index sets I⊆{1,2,…,n} of size d+1, then there exists a (lattice) point common to at least βn of the F_i. This implies a (p,d+1)-theorem for every p?d+1; that is, if is a finite family of convex lattice sets in such that among every p sets of , some d+1 intersect, then has a transversal of size bounded by a function of d and p.     

Harmonicity of unit vector fields with respect to Riemannian g-natural metrics

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold and T₁M its unit tangent sphere bundle. Unit vector fields defining harmonic maps from (M,g) to , being the Sasaki metric on T₁M, have been extensively studied. The Sasaki metric, and other well known Riemannian metrics on T₁M, are particular examples of g-natural metrics. We equip T₁M with an arbitrary Riemannian g-natural metric , and investigate the harmonicity of a unit vector field V of M, thought as a map from (M,g) to . We then apply this study to characterize unit Killing vector fields and to investigate harmonicity properties of the Reeb vector field of a contact metric manifold.     

On approximation of functions from Sobolev spaces on metric graphs

Some results on the approximation of functions from the Sobolev spaces on metric graphs by step functions are obtained. In particular, we show that the approximation numbers a_n of the embedding operator of the Sobolev space on a graph G of finite length |G| into the space , where μ is an arbitrary finite Borel measure on G, satisfy the inequality

Systems of orthogonal polynomials arising from the modular j-function

Let be the polynomial whose zeros are the j-invariants of supersingular elliptic curves over . Generalizing a construction of Atkin described in a recent paper by Kaneko and Zagier (Computational Perspectives on Number Theory (Chicago, IL, 1995), AMS/IP 7 (1998) 97-126), we define an inner product on for every . Suppose a system of orthogonal polynomials {P_n,ψ(x)}_n=0^∞ with respect to exists. We prove that if n is sufficiently large and ψ(x)P_n,ψ(x) is p-integral, then over . Further, we obtain an interpretation of these orthogonal polynomials as a p-adic limit of polynomials associated to p-adic modular forms.     

Holomorphy of spectral multipliers of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

Let γ be the Gauss measure on and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. For every p in [1,∞)?{2}, set , and consider the sector . The main results of this paper are the following. If p is in (1,∞)?{2}, and , i.e., if M is an Lp(γ)uniform spectral multiplier of in our terminology, and M is continuous on , then M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the sector . Furthermore, if p=1 a spectral multiplier M, continuous on , satisfies the condition if and only if M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the right half-plane, and its boundary value M(i·) on the imaginary axis is the Euclidean Fourier transform of a finite Borel measure on the real line. We prove similar results for uniform spectral multipliers of second order elliptic differential operators in divergence form on belonging to a wide class, which contains . From these results we deduce that operators in this class do not admit an H^∞ functional calculus in sectors smaller than .

Using a canonical isometry between and B we study the structure of the group of R-algebras automorphisms of and the structure of its subgroup of all automorphisms of which when restricted to give rise to elements of G. We introduce a topology on and prove that this last one is homeomorphic and group isomorphic to G.

The Cayley transform and uniformly bounded representations

Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, with Iwasawa decomposition and Bruhat big cell . Then the space may be (almost) identified with N and with K/M, and these identifications induce the (generalised) Cayley transform . We show that is a conformal map of Carnot-Caratheodory manifolds, and that composition with the Cayley transform, combined with multiplication by appropriate powers of the Jacobian, induces isomorphisms of Sobolev spaces and . We use this to construct uniformly bounded and slowly growing representations of G.
