For cardinals such that or , the -distributive law holds in a Boolean algebra iff Player 1 does not have a winning strategy in . Furthermore, for all cardinals , the -distributive law holds in iff Player 1 does not have a winning strategy in . More generally, for cardinals such that , the -distributive law holds in iff Player 1 does not have a winning strategy in . For regular and , implies the existence of a Suslin algebra in which is undetermined.

Weak properties of weighted convolution algebras

Suppose that is a weighted convolution algebra on with the weight normalized so that the corresponding space of measures is the dual space of the space of continuous functions. Suppose that is a continuous nonzero homomorphism, where is also a convolution algebra. If is norm dense in , we show that is (relatively) weak dense in , and we identify the norm closure of with the convergence set for a particular semigroup. When is weak continuous it is enough for to be weak dense in . We also give sufficient conditions and characterizations of weak continuity of . In addition, we show that, for all nonzero in , the sequence converges weak to 0. When is regulated, converges to 0 in norm.

     

Hecke algebras for the basic characters of the unitriangular group

Let denote the unitriangular group of degree over the finite field with elements. In a previous paper we obtained a decomposition of the regular character of as an orthogonal sum of basic characters. In this paper, we study the irreducible constituents of an arbitrary basic character of . We prove that is induced from a linear character of an algebra subgroup of , and we use the Hecke algebra associated with this linear character to describe the irreducible constituents of as characters induced from an algebra subgroup of . Finally, we identify a special irreducible constituent of , which is also induced from a linear character of an algebra subgroup. In particular, we extend a previous result (proved under the assumption where is the characteristic of the field) that gives a necessary and sufficient condition for to have a unique irreducible constituent.

Ultradifferentiable functions on lines in

It is well known that a function whose restriction to every line in is real analytic must itself be real analytic. In this note we study whether this property of real analytic functions is also possessed by some other subclasses of functions. We prove that if is ultradifferentiable corresponding to a sequence on every line in some `uniform way', then is ultradifferentiable corresponding to the sequence

     

Necessary conditions for Schatten class localization operators

We study time-frequency localization operators of the form , where is the symbol of the operator and are the analysis and synthesis windows, respectively. It is shown in an earlier paper by the authors that a sufficient condition for , the Schatten class of order , is that belongs to the modulation space and the window functions to the modulation space . Here we prove a partial converse: if for every pair of window functions with a uniform norm estimate, then the corresponding symbol must belong to the modulation space . In this sense, modulation spaces are optimal for the study of localization operators. The main ingredients in our proofs are frame theory and Gabor frames. For and , we recapture earlier results, which were obtained by different methods.
