Morrey Spaces on Domains: Different Approaches and Growth Envelopes

We deal with Morrey spaces on bounded domains \(\Omega \) obtained by different approaches. In particular, we consider three settings \(\mathcal {M}_{u,p}(\Omega )\), \(\mathbb {M}_{u,p}(\Omega )\) and \(\mathfrak {M}_{u,p}(\Omega )\), where \(0<p\le u<\infty \), commonly used in the literature, and study their connections and diversities. Moreover, we determine the growth envelopes \(\mathfrak {E}_{\mathsf {G}}(\mathcal {M}_{u,p}(\Omega ))\) as well as \(\mathfrak {E}_{\mathsf {G}}(\mathfrak {M}_{u,p}(\Omega ))\), and obtain some applications in terms of optimal embeddings. Surprisingly, it turns out that the interplay between p and u in the sense of whether \(\frac{n}{u}\ge \frac{1}{p}\) or \(\frac{n}{u} < \frac{1}{p}\) plays a decisive role when it comes to the behaviour of these spaces.     

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 \(\mathbb {E}_{p}^{\alpha }\otimes \mathbb {B}_{p}\).     

Homomorphisms of $$\ell ^1$$-Munn algebras and Rees matrix semigroup algebras

Let \({\mathcal {LM}}\left( {\mathcal {A}}, P\right) \) be an \(\ell ^1\)-Munn algebra over an arbitrary unital Banach algebra \({\mathcal {A}}\). We characterize homomorphisms from \({\mathcal {LM}}\left( {\mathcal {A}}, P\right) \) into an arbitrary Banach algebra \({\mathcal {B}}\) in terms of homomorphisms from \({\mathcal {A}}\) into \({\mathcal {B}}\). Then we discuss homomorphisms from arbitrary Banach algebras into \({\mathcal {LM}}\left( {\mathcal {A}}, P\right) \). Existence and uniqueness of homomorphisms under certain conditions are also discussed. We apply these results to the concrete case of \(\ell ^1(S)\) where S is a Rees matrix semigroup, to identify characters of \(\ell ^1(S)\) in both cases where S is with or without zero. As a consequence if the sandwich matrix of S has a zero entry, then \(\ell ^1(S)\) is character amenable.     

Infra-nilmanifolds modeled on the group of uni-triangular matrices

Let \({\mathcal {N}}_m\) be the group of \(m\times m\) upper triangular real matrices with all the diagonal entries 1. Then it is an \((m-1)\)-step nilpotent Lie group, diffeomorphic to \({\mathbb {R}}^{\frac{1}{2} m(m-1)}\). It contains all the integer matrices as a lattice \(\Gamma _m\). The automorphism group of \({\mathcal {N}}_m \ (m\ge 4)\) turns out to be extremely small. In fact, \(\mathrm {Aut}({\mathcal {N}})=\mathcal {I} \rtimes \mathrm {Out}({\mathcal {N}})\), where \(\mathcal {I}\) is a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group, and \(\mathrm {Out}({\mathcal {N}})={{\tilde{K}}}={(\mathbb {R}^*)^{m-1}\rtimes \mathbb {Z}_2}\). With a nice left-invariant Riemannian metric on \({\mathcal {N}}\), the isometry group is \(\mathrm {Isom}({\mathcal {N}})= {\mathcal {N}} \rtimes K\), where \(K={(\mathbb {Z}_2)^{m-1}\rtimes \mathbb {Z}_2}\subset {{\tilde{K}}}\) is a maximal compact subgroup of \(\mathrm {Aut}({\mathcal {N}})\). We prove that, for odd \(m\ge 4\), there is no infra-nilmanifold which is essentially covered by the nilmanifold \(\Gamma _m\backslash {\mathcal {N}}_m\). For \(m=2n\ge 4\) (even), there is a unique infra-nilmanifold which is essentially (and doubly) covered by the nilmanifold \(\Gamma _m\backslash {\mathcal {N}}_m\).     

On Standard Derived Equivalences of Orbit Categories

Let k be a commutative ring, \(\mathcal {A}\) and \(\mathcal {B}\) – two k-linear categories with an action of a group G. We introduce the notion of a standard G-equivalence from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\), where \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) is the homotopy category of finitely generated projective \(\mathcal {A}\)-complexes. We construct a map from the set of standard G-equivalences to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) and a map from the set of standard G-equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {B}\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}\mathcal {A}\) to the set of standard equivalences from \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {B}/G)\) to \(\mathcal {K}_{p}^{\mathrm {b}}(\mathcal {A}/G)\), where \(\mathcal {A}/G\) denotes the orbit category. We investigate the properties of these maps and apply our results to the case where \(\mathcal {A}=\mathcal {B}=R\) is a Frobenius k-algebra and G is the cyclic group generated by its Nakayama automorphism ν. We apply this technique to obtain the generating set of the derived Picard group of a Frobenius Nakayama algebra over an algebraically closed field.     

Zeta functions and asymptotic additive bases with some unusual sets of primes

Fix \(\delta \in (0,1]\), \(\sigma _0\in [0,1)\) and a real-valued function \(\varepsilon (x)\) for which \(\varlimsup _{x\rightarrow \infty }\varepsilon (x)\leqslant 0\). For every set of primes \(\mathcal {P}\) whose counting function \(\pi _\mathcal {P}(x)\) satisfies an estimate of the form

$$\begin{aligned} \pi _\mathcal {P}(x)=\delta \,\pi (x)+O\bigl (x^{\sigma _0+\varepsilon (x)}\bigr ), \end{aligned}$$

we define a zeta function \(\zeta _\mathcal {P}(s)\) that is closely related to the Riemann zeta function \(\zeta (s)\). For \(\sigma _0\leqslant \frac{1}{2}\), we show that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the non-vanishing of \(\zeta _\mathcal {P}(s)\) in the region \(\{\sigma >\frac{1}{2}\}\).

For every set of primes \(\mathcal {P}\) that contains the prime 2 and whose counting function satisfies an estimate of the form

$$\begin{aligned} \pi _\mathcal {P}(x)=\delta \,\pi (x)+O\bigl ((\log \log x)^{\varepsilon (x)}\bigr ), \end{aligned}$$

we show that \(\mathcal {P}\) is an exact asymptotic additive basis for \(\mathbb {N}\), i.e. for some integer \(h=h(\mathcal {P})>0\) the sumset \(h\mathcal {P}\) contains all but finitely many natural numbers. For example, an exact asymptotic additive basis for \(\mathbb {N}\) is provided by the set

$$\begin{aligned} \{2,547,1229,1993,2749,3581,4421,5281\ldots \}, \end{aligned}$$

which consists of 2 and every hundredth prime thereafter.

     

Constructive Approximation in de Branges–Rovnyak Spaces

In most classical holomorphic function spaces on the unit disk in which the polynomials are dense, a function f can be approximated in norm by its dilates \(f_r(z):=f(rz)~(r<1)\). We show that this is not the case for the de Branges–Rovnyak spaces \(\mathcal{H}(b)\). More precisely, we exhibit a space \(\mathcal{H}(b)\) in which the polynomials are dense and a function \(f\in \mathcal{H}(b)\) such that \(\lim _{r\rightarrow 1^-}\Vert f_r\Vert _{\mathcal{H}(b)}=\infty \). On the positive side, we prove the following approximation theorem for Toeplitz operators on general de Branges–Rovnyak spaces \(\mathcal{H}(b)\). If \((h_n)\) is a sequence in \(H^\infty \) such that \(\Vert h_n\Vert _{H^\infty }\le 1\) and \(h_n(0)\rightarrow 1\), then \(\Vert T_{\overline{h}_n}f-f\Vert _{\mathcal{H}(b)}\rightarrow 0\) for all \(f\in \mathcal{H}(b)\). Using this result, we give the first constructive proof that, if b is a nonextreme point of the unit ball of \(H^\infty \), then the polynomials are dense in \(\mathcal{H}(b)\).     

On the global convergence rate of the gradient descent method for functions with Hölder continuous gradients

The gradient descent method minimizes an unconstrained nonlinear optimization problem with \({\mathcal {O}}(1/\sqrt{K})\), where K is the number of iterations performed by the gradient method. Traditionally, this analysis is obtained for smooth objective functions having Lipschitz continuous gradients. This paper aims to consider a more general class of nonlinear programming problems in which functions have Hölder continuous gradients. More precisely, for any function f in this class, denoted by \({{\mathcal {C}}}^{1,\nu }_L\), there is a \(\nu \in (0,1]\) and \(L>0\) such that for all \(\mathbf{x,y}\in {{\mathbb {R}}}^n\) the relation \(\Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x})-\nabla f(\mathbf{y})\Vert \le L \Vert \mathbf{x}-\mathbf{y}\Vert ^{\nu }\) holds. We prove that the gradient descent method converges globally to a stationary point and exhibits a convergence rate of \({\mathcal {O}}(1/K^{\frac{\nu }{\nu +1}})\) when the step-size is chosen properly, i.e., less than \([\frac{\nu +1}{L}]^{\frac{1}{\nu }}\Vert \nabla f(\mathbf{x}_k)\Vert ^{\frac{1}{\nu }-1}\). Moreover, the algorithm employs \({\mathcal {O}}(1/\epsilon ^{\frac{1}{\nu }+1})\) number of calls to an oracle to find \({\bar{\mathbf{x}}}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla f({{\bar{\mathbf{x}}}})\Vert <\epsilon \).     

Maximal essential extensions in the context of frames

We show that every frame can be essentially embedded in a Boolean frame, and that this embedding is the maximal essential extension of the frame in the sense that it factors uniquely through any other essential extension. This extension can be realized as the embedding \(L \rightarrow \mathcal {N}(L) \rightarrow \mathcal {B}\mathcal {N}(L)\), where \(L \rightarrow \mathcal {N}(L)\) is the familiar embedding of L into its congruence frame \(\mathcal {N}(L)\), and \(\mathcal {N}(L) \rightarrow \mathcal {B}\mathcal {N}(L)\) is the Booleanization of \(\mathcal {N}(L)\). Finally, we show that for subfit frames the extension can also be realized as the embedding \(L \rightarrow {{\mathrm{S}}}_\mathfrak {c}(L)\) of L into its complete Boolean algebra \({{\mathrm{S}}}_\mathfrak {c}(L)\) of sublocales which are joins of closed sublocales.     

On Local Convergence of the Method of Alternating Projections

The method of alternating projections is a classical tool to solve feasibility problems. Here we prove local convergence of alternating projections between subanalytic sets \(A,B\) under a mild regularity hypothesis on one of the sets. We show that the speed of convergence is \({\mathcal {O}}(k^{-\rho })\) for some \(\rho \in (0,\infty )\).     

Representations of groups with CAT(0) fixed point property

We show that certain representations over fields with positive characteristic of groups having CAT\((0)\) fixed point property \(\mathrm{F}\mathcal {B}_{\widetilde{A}_n}\) have finite image. In particular, we obtain rigidity results for representations of the following groups: the special linear group over \({\mathbb {Z}}\), \({\mathrm{SL}}_k({\mathbb {Z}})\), the special automorphism group of a free group, \(\mathrm{SAut}(F_k)\), the mapping class group of a closed orientable surface, \(\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma _g)\), and many other groups. In the case of characteristic zero, we show that low dimensional complex representations of groups having CAT\((0)\) fixed point property \(\mathrm{F}\mathcal {B}_{\widetilde{A}_n}\) have finite image if they always have compact closure.     

Structure theorem of the generator of a norm continuous completely positive semigroup: an alternative proof using Bures distance

Here we present an alternative proof using Bures distance that the generator L of a norm continuous completely positive semigroup acting on a \(C^*\)-algebra \({\mathcal {B}}\subset \mathcal B(H)\) has the form \( L(b) = \Psi (b) + k^*b+bk\), \(b\in {\mathcal {B}}\) for some completely positive map \(\Psi :{\mathcal {B}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}(H)\) and \(k\in {\mathcal {B}}(H)\).     

Polák theorem and $$\mathbf {}$$-relation on varieties of completely regular semigroups

Completely regular semigroups \(\mathcal {C}\mathcal {R}\) are unions of their subgroups with the unary operation within their maximal subgroups. As such they form a variety whose lattice of subvarieties is denoted by \(\mathcal {L}(\mathcal {C}\mathcal {R})\). The Polák theorem concerns the computation of joins in \(\mathcal {L}(\mathcal {C}\mathcal {R})\). The \(\mathbf {B}\)-relation on \(\mathcal {L}(\mathcal {C}\mathcal {R})\) identifies varieties with the same bands. We elaborate upon two nontrivial conditions in Polák’s theorem applied to certain subsets of \(\mathcal {C}\mathcal {R}\) which amounts to solving particular equations in \(\mathcal {L}(\mathcal {C}\mathcal {R})\).     

Finite elements in some vector lattices of nonlinear operators

We study the collection of finite elements \(\Phi _{1}\big ({\mathcal {U}}(E,F)\big )\) in the vector lattice \({\mathcal {U}}(E,F)\) of orthogonally additive, order bounded (called abstract Uryson) operators between two vector lattices E and F, where F is Dedekind complete. In particular, for an atomic vector lattice E it is proved that for a finite element in \(\varphi \in {\mathcal {U}}(E,{\mathbb {R}})\) there is only a finite set of mutually disjoint atoms, where \(\varphi \) does not vanish and, for an atomless vector lattice the zero-vector is the only finite element in the band of \(\sigma \)-laterally continuous abstract Uryson functionals. We also describe the ideal \(\Phi _{1}\big ({\mathcal {U}}({\mathbb {R}}^n,{\mathbb {R}}^m)\big )\) for \(n,m\in {\mathbb {N}}\) and consider rank one operators to be finite elements in \({\mathcal {U}}(E,F)\).     

A property of conditional expectation

Let \(({\mathcal {M}},\tau )\) be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra, \(({\mathcal {N}},\tau |_{{\mathcal {N}}})\) be a semi-finite von Neumann subalgebra and \({\mathcal {E}}:\;{\mathcal {M}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {N}}\) be a conditional expectation which leaves \(\tau \) invariant. We proved super-majorization for the conditional expectation \({\mathcal {E}}\) and related inequalities.     

An extension of Wilf’s conjecture to affine semigroups

Let \(\mathcal {C}\subset \mathbb {Q}^p_+\) be a rational cone. An affine semigroup \(S\subset \mathcal {C}\) is a \(\mathcal {C}\)-semigroup whenever \((\mathcal {C}\setminus S)\cap \mathbb {N}^p\) has only a finite number of elements. In this work, we study the tree of \(\mathcal {C}\)-semigroups, give a method to generate it and study the \(\mathcal {C}\)-semigroups with minimal embedding dimension. We extend Wilf’s conjecture for numerical semigroups to \(\mathcal {C}\)-semigroups and give some families of \(\mathcal {C}\)-semigroups fulfilling the extended conjecture. Other conjectures formulated for numerical semigroups are also studied for \(\mathcal {C}\)-semigroups.     

A Categorification of $\displaystyle {\mathfrak q} (2)$-Crystals

We provide a categorification of \(\mathfrak {q}(2)\)-crystals on the singular \(\mathfrak {gl}_{n}\)-category \({\mathcal O}_{n}\). Our result extends the \(\mathfrak {gl}_{2}\)-crystal structure on \(\text {Irr} ({\mathcal O}_{n})\) induced from the work of Bernstein-Frenkel-Khovanov. Further properties of the \({\mathfrak q}(2)\)-crystal \(\text {Irr} ({\mathcal O}_{n})\) are also discussed.     

rthogonality Property $$\mathcal {}$$ and Compact Perturbations

A bounded linear operator T acting on a Hilbert space is said to have orthogonality property \(\mathcal {O}\) if the subspaces \(\ker (T-\alpha )\) and \(\ker (T-\beta )\) are orthogonal for all \(\alpha , \beta \in \sigma _p(T)\) with \(\alpha \ne \beta \). In this paper, the authors investigate the compact perturbations of operators with orthogonality property \(\mathcal {O}\). We give a sufficient and necessary condition to determine when an operator T has the following property: for each \(\varepsilon >0\), there exists \(K\in \mathcal {K(H)}\) with \(\Vert K\Vert <\varepsilon \) such that \(T+K\) has orthogonality property \(\mathcal {O}\). Also, we study the stability of orthogonality property \(\mathcal {O}\) under small compact perturbations and analytic functional calculus.     

On the additivity of block designs

We show that symmetric block designs \({\mathcal {D}}=({\mathcal {P}},{\mathcal {B}})\) can be embedded in a suitable commutative group \({\mathfrak {G}}_{\mathcal {D}}\) in such a way that the sum of the elements in each block is zero, whereas the only Steiner triple systems with this property are the point-line designs of \({\mathrm {PG}}(d,2)\) and \({\mathrm {AG}}(d,3)\). In both cases, the blocks can be characterized as the only k-subsets of \(\mathcal {P}\) whose elements sum to zero. It follows that the group of automorphisms of any such design \(\mathcal {D}\) is the group of automorphisms of \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) that leave \(\mathcal {P}\) invariant. In some special cases, the group \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) can be determined uniquely by the parameters of \(\mathcal {D}\). For instance, if \(\mathcal {D}\) is a 2-\((v,k,\lambda )\) symmetric design of prime order p not dividing k, then \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) is (essentially) isomorphic to \(({\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})^{\frac{v-1}{2}}\), and the embedding of the design in the group can be described explicitly. Moreover, in this case, the blocks of \(\mathcal {B}\) can be characterized also as the v intersections of \(\mathcal {P}\) with v suitable hyperplanes of \(({\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})^{\frac{v-1}{2}}\).
