Equilibrium Diffusion on the Cone of Discrete Radon Measures

Let \({\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})}\) denote the cone of discrete Radon measures on \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). There is a natural differentiation on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\): for a differentiable function \(F:\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\to \mathbb {R}\), one defines its gradient \(\nabla ^{\mathbb {K}}F\) as a vector field which assigns to each \(\eta \in \mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) an element of a tangent space \(T_{\eta }(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d}))\) to \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) at point η. Let \(\phi :\mathbb {R}^{d}\times \mathbb {R}^{d}\to \mathbb {R}\) be a potential of pair interaction, and let μ be a corresponding Gibbs perturbation of (the distribution of) a completely random measure on \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). In particular, μ is a probability measure on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) such that the set of atoms of a discrete measure \(\eta \in \mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) is μ-a.s. dense in \(\mathbb {R}^{d}\). We consider the corresponding Dirichlet form

$$\mathcal{E}^{\mathbb{K}}(F,G)={\int}_{\mathbb K(\mathbb{R}^{d})}\langle\nabla^{\mathbb{K}} F(\eta), \nabla^{\mathbb{K}} G(\eta)\rangle_{T_{\eta}(\mathbb{K})}\,d\mu(\eta). $$

Integrating by parts with respect to the measure μ, we explicitly find the generator of this Dirichlet form. By using the theory of Dirichlet forms, we prove the main result of the paper: If d ≥ 2, there exists a conservative diffusion process on \(\mathbb {K}(\mathbb {R}^{d})\) which is properly associated with the Dirichlet form \(\mathcal {E}^{\mathbb {K}}\).

     

On height isotopy classes of embeddings in the plane of a Morse function of a circle

Let \(\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\) be a set of stable Morse functions of an oriented circle such that the number of singular points is \(2n\in \mathbb {N}\) and the order of singular values satisfies the particular condition. For an orthogonal projection \(\pi :\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), let \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) be embedding lifts of f. If there is an ambient isotopy \(\tilde{\varphi }_t:\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) \((t\in [0,1])\) such that \({\pi \circ \tilde{\varphi }}_t(y_1,y_2)=y_1\) and \(\tilde{\varphi }_1\circ {\tilde{f}}_0={\tilde{f}}_1\), we say that \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1\) are height isotopic. We define a function \(I:\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\rightarrow \mathbb {N}\) as follows: I(f) is the number of height isotopy classes of embeddings such that each rotation number is one. In this paper, we determine the maximal value of the function I equals the n-th Baxter number and the minimal value equals \(2^{n-1}\).     

Construction of sign-changing solutions for a harmonic equation with subcritical exponent

In this paper, we study the harmonic equation involving subcritical exponent \((P_{\varepsilon })\): \( \Delta u = 0 \), in \(\mathbb {B}^n\) and \(\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu } + \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2}u = \displaystyle \frac{n-2}{2} K u^{\frac{n}{n-2}-\varepsilon }\) on \( \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) where \(\mathbb {B}^n \) is the unit ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\), \(n\ge 5\) with Euclidean metric \(g_0\), \(\partial \mathbb {B}^n = \mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) is its boundary, K is a function on \(\mathbb {S}^{n-1}\) and \(\varepsilon \) is a small positive parameter. We construct solutions of the subcritical equation \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which blow up at two different critical points of K. Furthermore, we construct solutions of \((P_{\varepsilon })\) which have two bubbles and blow up at the same critical point of K.     

Stability properties and gap theorem for complete f-minimal hypersurfaces

In this paper, we study complete oriented f -minimal hypersurfaces properly immersed in a cylinder shrinking soliton \((\mathbb{S}^n \times \mathbb{R},\bar g,f)\).We prove that such hypersurface with L _f -index one must be either \(\mathbb{S}^n \times \{ 0\}\) or \(\mathbb{S}^{n - 1} \times \mathbb{R}\), where \({S}^{n - 1}\) denotes the sphere in \(\mathbb{S}^n\) of the same radius. Also we prove a pinching theorem for them.     

New optical orthogonal signature pattern codes with maximum collision parameter 2 and weight 4

Optical orthogonal signature pattern codes (OOSPCs) play an important role in a novel type of optical code-division multiple-access network for 2-dimensional image transmission. There is a one-to-one correspondence between an \((m, n, w, \lambda )\)-OOSPC and a \((\lambda +1)\)-(mn, w, 1) packing design admitting an automorphism group isomorphic to \(\mathbb {Z}_m\times \mathbb {Z}_n\). In 2010, Sawa gave a construction of an (m, n, 4, 2)-OOSPC from a one-factor of Köhler graph of \(\mathbb {Z}_m\times \mathbb {Z}_n\) which contains a unique element of order 2. In this paper, we study the existence of one-factor of Köhler graph of \(\mathbb {Z}_m\times \mathbb {Z}_n\) having three elements of order 2. It is proved that there is a one-factor in the Köhler graph of \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon }p}\times \mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon '}}\) relative to the Sylow 2-subgroup if there is an S-cyclic Steiner quadruple system of order 2p, where \(p\equiv 5\pmod {12}\) is a prime and \(1\le \epsilon ,\epsilon '\le 2\). Using this one-factor, we construct a strictly \(\mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon }p}\times \mathbb {Z}_{2^{\epsilon '}}\)-invariant regular \(G^*(p,2^{\epsilon +\epsilon '},4,3)\) relative to the Sylow 2-subgroup. By using the known S-cyclic SQS(2p) and a recursive construction for strictly \(\mathbb {Z}_{m}\times \mathbb {Z}_{n}\)-invariant regular G-designs, we construct more strictly \(\mathbb {Z}_{m}\times \mathbb {Z}_{n}\)-invariant 3-(mn, 4, 1) packing designs. Consequently, there is an optimal \((2^{\epsilon }m,2^{\epsilon '}n,4,2)\)-OOSPC for any \(\epsilon ,\epsilon '\in \{0,1,2\}\) with \(\epsilon +\epsilon '>0\) and an optimal (6m, 6n, 4, 2)-OOSPC where m, n are odd integers whose all prime divisors from the set \(\{p\equiv 5\pmod {12}:p\) is a prime, \(p<\)1,500,000}.     

An isometrical ℂP<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>-theorem

Let M ⁿ (n ? 3) be a complete Riemannian manifold with sec _M ? 1, and let \(M_i^{n_i }\) (i = 1, 2) be two complete totally geodesic submanifolds in M. We prove that if n₁ + n₂ = n ? 2 and if the distance |M₁M₂| ? π/2, then M _i is isometric to \(\mathbb{S}^{n_i } /\mathbb{Z}_h\), \(\mathbb{C}P^{n_i /2}\), or \(\mathbb{C}P^{n_i /2} /\mathbb{Z}_2 \) with the canonical metric when n _i > 0; and thus, M is isometric to S ⁿ /? _h , ?P^n/2, or ?P^n/2/?₂ except possibly when n = 3 and \(M_1 (or M_2 )\mathop \cong \limits^{iso} \mathbb{S}^1 /\mathbb{Z}_h \) with h ? 2 or n = 4 and \(M_1 (or M_2 )\mathop \cong \limits^{iso} \mathbb{R}P^2 \).     

Existence and concentration of solution for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems with subquadratic potential

In this article, we consider the following fractional Hamiltonian systems:

$$\begin{aligned} {_{t}}D_{\infty }^{\alpha }({_{-\infty }}D_{t}^{\alpha }u) + \lambda L(t)u = \nabla W(t, u), \;\;t\in \mathbb {R}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in (1/2, 1)\), \(\lambda >0\) is a parameter, \(L\in C(\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {R}^{n\times n})\) and \(W \in C^{1}(\mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^n, \mathbb {R})\). Unlike most other papers on this problem, we require that L(t) is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\), that is, \(L(t) \equiv 0\) is allowed to occur in some finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\) of \(\mathbb {R}\). Under some mild assumptions on W, we establish the existence of nontrivial weak solution, which vanish on \(\mathbb {R} \setminus \mathbb {I}\) as \(\lambda \rightarrow \infty ,\) and converge to \(\tilde{u}\) in \(H^{\alpha }(\mathbb {R})\); here \(\tilde{u} \in E_{0}^{\alpha }\) is nontrivial weak solution of the Dirichlet BVP for fractional Hamiltonian systems on the finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\). Furthermore, we give the multiplicity results for the above fractional Hamiltonian systems.

     

On the Diophantine equation $$X^{2N}+2^{2\alpha }5^{2\beta }{p}^{2\gamma } = Z^5$$

We prove that for each prime p, positive integer \(\alpha \), and non-negative integers \(\beta \) and \(\gamma \), the Diophantine equation \(X^{2N} + 2^{2\alpha }5^{2\beta }{p}^{2\gamma } = Z^5\) has no solution with N, X, \(Z\in \mathbb {Z}^+\), \(N > 1\), and \(\gcd (X,Z) = 1\).     

On the Chaoticity of Some Tensor Product Weighted Backward Shift Operators Acting on Some Tensor Product Fock–Bargmann Spaces

In Advances in Mathematical Physics (2011) we showed that the weighted shift \(z^{p}\frac{d^{p+1}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) acting on classical Bargmann space \(\mathbb {B}_{p}\) is chaotic operator. In Journal of Mathematical physics (2014), we constructed an chaotic weighted shift \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1} (p=0, 1, 2,\ldots )\) on some lattice Fock–Bargmann \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\) generated by the orthonormal basis \( {e_{m}^{(\alpha ,p)}(z) = e_{m}^{\alpha } ; m=p, p+1,\ldots }\) where \( {e_{m}^{\alpha }(z) = (\frac{2\nu }{\pi })^{1/4}e^{\frac{\nu }{2}z^{2}}e^{-\frac{\pi ^{2}}{\nu }(m +\alpha )^{2} +2i\pi (m +\alpha )z}; m \in \mathbb {N}}\) with \(\nu , \alpha \) are real numbers; \(\nu > 0\), \(\mathbb {M}\) is an weighted shift and \(\mathbb {M^{*}}\) is the adjoint of the \(\mathbb {M}\). In this paper we study the chaoticity of tensor product \(\mathbb {M}^{*^{p}}\mathbb {M}^{p+1}\otimes z^{p}\frac{d^{p}}{dz^{p+1}} (p=0, 1, 2, \ldots )\) acting on \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\otimes \mathbb {B}_{p}\).     

A Schwarz Lemma at the Boundary of Hilbert Balls

In this paper, the authors prove a general Schwarz lemma at the boundary for the holomorphic mapping f between unit balls B and B′in separable complex Hilbert spaces H and H′, respectively. It is found that if the mapping f ∈ C~(1+α)at z_0∈ ?B with f(z_0) = w_0∈ ?B′, then the Fr′echet derivative operator Df(z_0) maps the tangent space Tz_0(?B~n) to Tw_0(?B′), the holomorphic tangent space T_(z_0)~(1,0)(?B~n) to T_(w_0)~(1,0)(?B′),respectively.     

Idempotent and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-potent quadratic functions: distribution of nonlinearity and co-dimension

The Walsh transform \(\widehat{Q}\) of a quadratic function \(Q:{\mathbb F}_{p^n}\rightarrow {\mathbb F}_p\) satisfies \(|\widehat{Q}(b)| \in \{0,p^{\frac{n+s}{2}}\}\) for all \(b\in {\mathbb F}_{p^n}\), where \(0\le s\le n-1\) is an integer depending on Q. In this article, we study the following three classes of quadratic functions of wide interest. The class \(\mathcal {C}_1\) is defined for arbitrary n as \(\mathcal {C}_1 = \{Q(x) = \mathrm{Tr_n}(\sum _{i=1}^{\lfloor (n-1)/2\rfloor }a_ix^{2^i+1})\;:\; a_i \in {\mathbb F}_2\}\), and the larger class \(\mathcal {C}_2\) is defined for even n as \(\mathcal {C}_2 = \{Q(x) = \mathrm{Tr_n}(\sum _{i=1}^{(n/2)-1}a_ix^{2^i+1}) + \mathrm{Tr_{n/2}}(a_{n/2}x^{2^{n/2}+1}) \;:\; a_i \in {\mathbb F}_2\}\). For an odd prime p, the subclass \(\mathcal {D}\) of all p-ary quadratic functions is defined as \(\mathcal {D} = \{Q(x) = \mathrm{Tr_n}(\sum _{i=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor }a_ix^{p^i+1})\;:\; a_i \in {\mathbb F}_p\}\). We determine the generating function for the distribution of the parameter s for \(\mathcal {C}_1, \mathcal {C}_2\) and \(\mathcal {D}\). As a consequence we completely describe the distribution of the nonlinearity for the rotation symmetric quadratic Boolean functions, and in the case \(p > 2\), the distribution of the co-dimension for the rotation symmetric quadratic p-ary functions, which have been attracting considerable attention recently. Our results also facilitate obtaining closed formulas for the number of such quadratic functions with prescribed s for small values of s, and hence extend earlier results on this topic. We also present the complete weight distribution of the subcodes of the second order Reed–Muller codes corresponding to \(\mathcal {C}_1\) and \(\mathcal {C}_2\) in terms of a generating function.     

Riemann Localisation on the Sphere

This paper first shows that the Riemann localisation property holds for the Fourier-Laplace series partial sum for sufficiently smooth functions on the two-dimensional sphere, but does not hold for spheres of higher dimension. By Riemann localisation on the sphere \(\mathbb {S}^{d}\subset \mathbb {R}^{d+1}\), \(d\ge 2\), we mean that for a suitable subset X of \(\mathbb {L}_{p}(\mathbb {S}^{d})\), \(1\le p\le \infty \), the \(\mathbb {L}_{p}\)-norm of the Fourier local convolution of \(f\in X\) converges to zero as the degree goes to infinity. The Fourier local convolution of f at \(\mathbf {x}\in \mathbb {S}^{d}\) is the Fourier convolution with a modified version of f obtained by replacing values of f by zero on a neighbourhood of \(\mathbf {x}\). The failure of Riemann localisation for \(d>2\) can be overcome by considering a filtered version: we prove that for a sphere of any dimension and sufficiently smooth filter the corresponding local convolution always has the Riemann localisation property. Key tools are asymptotic estimates of the Fourier and filtered kernels.     

Estimates for coefficients of certain <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

Let \(\pi _{\varphi }\) (or \(\pi _{\psi }\)) be an automorphic cuspidal representation of \(\text {GL}_{2} (\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\) associated to a primitive Maass cusp form \(\varphi \) (or \(\psi \)), and \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\) be the jth symmetric power lift of \(\pi _{\varphi }\). Let \(a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)\) denote the nth Dirichlet series coefficient of the principal L-function associated to \(\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }\). In this paper, we study first moments of Dirichlet series coefficients of automorphic representations \(\mathrm{sym}^3 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{4}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\), and \(\pi _{\psi }\otimes \mathrm{sym}^2 \pi _{\varphi }\) of \(\text {GL}_{6}(\mathbb {A}_{\mathbb {Q}})\). For \(3 \le j \le 8\), estimates for \(|a_{\mathrm{sym}^j \pi _{\varphi }}(n)|\) on average over a short interval have also been established.     

Sign-changing solutions to a partially periodic nonlinear Schrödinger equation in domains with unbounded boundary

We consider the problem

$$\begin{aligned} -\Delta u+\left( V_{\infty }+V(x)\right) u=|u|^{p-2}u,\quad u\in H_{0} ^{1}(\Omega ), \end{aligned}$$

where \(\Omega \) is either \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\) or a smooth domain in \(\mathbb {R} ^{N}\) with unbounded boundary, \(N\ge 3,\) \(V_{\infty }>0,\) \(V\in \mathcal {C} ^{0}(\mathbb {R}^{N}),\) \(\inf _{\mathbb {R}^{N}}V>-V_{\infty }\) and \(2<p<\frac{2N}{N-2}\). We assume V is periodic in the first m variables, and decays exponentially to zero in the remaining ones. We also assume that \(\Omega \) is periodic in the first m variables and has bounded complement in the other ones. Then, assuming that \(\Omega \) and V are invariant under some suitable group of symmetries on the last \(N-m\) coordinates of \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\), we establish existence and multiplicity of sign-changing solutions to this problem. We show that, under suitable assumptions, there is a combined effect of the number of periodic variables and the symmetries of the domain on the number of sign-changing solutions to this problem. This number is at least \(m+1\)

     

Cohomogeneity one actions on Minkowski spaces

We study isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the \((n+1)\)-dimensional Minkowski space \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) up to orbit-equivalence. We give examples of isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) whose orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. We show that there exist isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\), \(n \ge 3\), which are orbit-equivalent on the complement of an n-dimensional degenerate subspace \(\mathbb {W}^n\) of \(\mathbb {L}^{n+1}\) and not orbit-equivalent on \(\mathbb {W}^n\). We classify isometric cohomogeneity one actions on \(\mathbb {L}^2\) and \(\mathbb {L}^3\) up to orbit-equivalence.     

CLT for Random Walks of Commuting Endomorphisms on Compact Abelian Groups

Let \(\mathcal S\) be an abelian group of automorphisms of a probability space \((X, {\mathcal A}, \mu )\) with a finite system of generators \((A_1, \ldots , A_d).\) Let \(A^{{\underline{\ell }}}\) denote \(A_1^{\ell _1} \ldots A_d^{\ell _d}\), for \({{\underline{\ell }}}= (\ell _1, \ldots , \ell _d).\) If \((Z_k)\) is a random walk on \({\mathbb {Z}}^d\), one can study the asymptotic distribution of the sums \(\sum _{k=0}^{n-1} \, f \circ A^{\,{Z_k(\omega )}}\) and \(\sum _{{\underline{\ell }}\in {\mathbb {Z}}^d} {\mathbb {P}}(Z_n= {\underline{\ell }}) \, A^{\underline{\ell }}f\), for a function f on X. In particular, given a random walk on commuting matrices in \(SL(\rho , {\mathbb {Z}})\) or in \({\mathcal M}^*(\rho , {\mathbb {Z}})\) acting on the torus \({\mathbb {T}}^\rho \), \(\rho \ge 1\), what is the asymptotic distribution of the associated ergodic sums along the random walk for a smooth function on \({\mathbb {T}}^\rho \) after normalization? In this paper, we prove a central limit theorem when X is a compact abelian connected group G endowed with its Haar measure (e.g., a torus or a connected extension of a torus), \(\mathcal S\) a totally ergodic d-dimensional group of commuting algebraic automorphisms of G and f a regular function on G. The proof is based on the cumulant method and on preliminary results on random walks.     

Frame completions with prescribed norms: local minimizers and applications

Let \(\mathcal {F}_{0}=\{f_{i}\}_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{n_{0}}}\) be a finite sequence of vectors in \(\mathbb {C}^{d}\) and let \(\mathbf {a}=(a_{i})_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}}\) be a finite sequence of positive numbers, where \(\mathbb {I}_{n}=\{1,\ldots , n\}\) for \(n\in \mathbb {N}\). We consider the completions of \(\mathcal {F}_{0}\) of the form \(\mathcal {F}=(\mathcal {F}_{0},\mathcal {G})\) obtained by appending a sequence \(\mathcal {G}=\{g_{i}\}_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}}\) of vectors in \(\mathbb {C}^{d}\) such that ∥g _i ∥² = a _i for \(i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}\), and endow the set of completions with the metric \(d(\mathcal {F},\tilde {\mathcal {F}}) =\max \{ \,\|g_{i}-\tilde {g}_{i}\|: \ i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}\}\) where \(\tilde {\mathcal {F}}=(\mathcal {F}_{0},\,\tilde {\mathcal {G}})\). In this context we show that local minimizers on the set of completions of a convex potential P _φ , induced by a strictly convex function φ, are also global minimizers. In case that φ(x) = x ² then P _φ is the so-called frame potential introduced by Benedetto and Fickus, and our work generalizes several well known results for this potential. We show that there is an intimate connection between frame completion problems with prescribed norms and frame operator distance (FOD) problems. We use this connection and our results to settle in the affirmative a generalized version of Strawn’s conjecture on the FOD.     

The Minimal Size of Infinite Maximal Antichains in Direct Products of Partial Orders

For a partial order \(\mathbb {P}\) having infinite antichains by \(\mathfrak {a}(\mathbb {P})\) we denote the minimal cardinality of an infinite maximal antichain in \(\mathbb {P}\) and investigate how does this cardinal invariant of posets behave in finite products. In particular we show that \(\min \{ \mathfrak {a}(\mathbb {P}),\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P}) \} \leq \mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P}^{n} ) \leq \mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P})\), for all \(n\in \mathbb {N}\), where \(\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P})\) is the minimal size of a centered family without a lower bound in the separative quotient of the poset \(\mathbb {P}\), or \(\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P})=\infty \), if there is no such family. So we have \(\mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P} \times \mathbb {P})=\mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P})\) whenever \(\mathfrak {p} (\text {sq} \mathbb {P})\geq \mathfrak {a} (\mathbb {P})\) and we show that, in addition, this equality holds for all posets obtained from infinite Boolean algebras of size ≤ø ₁ by removing zero, all reversed trees, all atomic posets and, in particular, for all posets of the form \(\langle \mathcal {C} ,\subset \rangle \), where \(\mathcal {C}\) is a family of nonempty closed sets in a compact T ₁-space containing all singletons. As a by-product we obtain the following combinatorial statement: If X is an infinite set and {A _i ×B _i :i∈I} an infinite partition of the square X ², then at least one of the families {A _i :i∈I} and {B _i :i∈I} contains an infinite partition of X.     

Anderson Polymer in a Fractional Brownian Environment: Asymptotic Behavior of the Partition Function

We consider the Anderson polymer partition function

$$\begin{aligned} u(t):=\mathbb {E}^X\left[ e^{\int _0^t \mathrm {d}B^{X(s)}_s}\right] \,, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\{B^{x}_t\,;\, t\ge 0\}_{x\in \mathbb {Z}^d}\) is a family of independent fractional Brownian motions all with Hurst parameter \(H\in (0,1)\), and \(\{X(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb {R}^{\ge 0}}\) is a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on \(\mathbb {Z}^d\) with jump rate \(\kappa \) and started from the origin. \(\mathbb {E}^X\) is the expectation with respect to this random walk. We prove that when \(H\le 1/2\), the function u(t) almost surely grows asymptotically like \(e^{\lambda t}\), where \(\lambda >0\) is a deterministic number. More precisely, we show that as t approaches \(+\infty \), the expression \(\{\frac{1}{t}\log u(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb {R}^{>0}}\) converges both almost surely and in the \(\hbox {L}^1\) sense to some positive deterministic number \(\lambda \). For \(H>1/2\), we first show that \(\lim _{t\rightarrow \infty } \frac{1}{t}\log u(t)\) exists both almost surely and in the \(\hbox {L}^1\) sense and equals a strictly positive deterministic number (possibly \(+\infty \)); hence, almost surely u(t) grows asymptotically at least like \(e^{\alpha t}\) for some deterministic constant \(\alpha >0\). On the other hand, we also show that almost surely and in the \(\hbox {L}^1\) sense, \(\limsup _{t\rightarrow \infty } \frac{1}{t\sqrt{\log t}}\log u(t)\) is a deterministic finite real number (possibly zero), hence proving that almost surely u(t) grows asymptotically at most like \(e^{\beta t\sqrt{\log t}}\) for some deterministic positive constant \(\beta \). Finally, for \(H>1/2\) when \(\mathbb {Z}^d\) is replaced by a circle endowed with a Hölder continuous covariance function, we show that \(\limsup _{t\rightarrow \infty } \frac{1}{t}\log u(t)\) is a deterministic finite positive real number, hence proving that almost surely u(t) grows asymptotically at most like \(e^{c t}\) for some deterministic positive constant c.

     

Real-variable characterizations of anisotropic product Musielak-Orlicz Hardy spaces

Let A :=(A_1, A_2) be a pair of expansive dilations and φ : R~n×R~m×[0, ∞) → [0, ∞) an anisotropic product Musielak-Orlicz function. In this article, we introduce the anisotropic product Musielak-Orlicz Hardy space H~φ_A(R~n× R~m) via the anisotropic Lusin-area function and establish its atomic characterization, the g-function characterization, the g_λ~*-function characterization and the discrete wavelet characterization via first giving out an anisotropic product Peetre inequality of Musielak-Orlicz type. Moreover, we prove that finite atomic decomposition norm on a dense subspace of H~φ_A(R~n× R~m) is equivalent to the standard infinite atomic decomposition norm. As an application, we show that, for a given admissible triplet(φ, q, s), if T is a sublinear operator and maps all(φ, q, s)-atoms into uniformly bounded elements of some quasi-Banach spaces B, then T uniquely extends to a bounded sublinear operator from H~φ_A(R~n× R~m) to B. Another application is that we obtain the boundedness of anisotropic product singular integral operators from H~φ_A(R~n× R~m) to L~φ(R~n× R~m)and from H~φ_A(R~n×R~m) to itself, whose kernels are adapted to the action of A. The results of this article essentially extend the existing results for weighted product Hardy spaces on R~n× R~m and are new even for classical product Orlicz-Hardy spaces.
