On Burgess's theorem and related problems

Let be a graph. We determine all graphs which are -like. We also prove that if are graphs, then in order that each -like continuum be -indecomposable for some it is necessary and sufficient that if is a graph, then is not -like for some integer with . This generalizes a well known theorem of Burgess.

Statistical extensions of some classical Tauberian theorems

Hardy's well-known Tauberian theorem for Cesàro means says that if the sequence satisfies and , then . In this paper it is shown that the hypothesis can be replaced by the weaker assumption of the statistical limit: st-lim , i.e., for every , . Similarly, the ``one-sided' Tauberian theorem of Landau and Schmidt's Tauberian theorem for the Abel method are extended by replacing and with st-lim and st-lim , respectively. The Hardy-Littlewood Tauberian theorem for Borel summability is also extended by replacing , where is a continuous parameter, with , and further replacing it by -st-lim , where is the Borel matrix method.

     

Injective resolutions of Noetherian rings and cogenerators

We give new construction of injective resolutions of complexes and bimodules. Applying this construction to an injective resolution of a Noetherian ring, we construct a -embedding cogenerator for the category of modules of projective dimension . Moreover, for a Noetherian projective -algebra , we show that satisfies the Auslander condition if and only if the flat dimension of every -module is equal to or larger than the one of the injective hull .

Finite generation properties for fuchsian group von Neumann algebras tensor

We prove that the algebra , a free group with finitely many generators, contains a subnormal operator such that the linear span of the set is weakly dense in . This is the analogue for the factor , finite, of a well known fact about the unilateral shift on a Hilbert space : the linear span of all the monomials is weakly dense in .

We also show that for a suitable space of square summable analytic functions, if is the projection from the Hilbert space of all square summable functions onto and is the unbounded operator of multiplication by on , then the (unbounded) operator is nonzero (with nonzero domain).

Adjacency preserving mappings of invariant subspaces of a null system

In the space of invariant -dimensional subspaces of a null system in -dimensional projective space, W.L. Chow characterized the basic group of transformations as all the bijections , for which both and preserve adjacency. In the present paper we show that the two conditions is a surjection and preserves adjacency are sufficient to characterize the basic group. At the end of this paper we give an application to Lie geometry.

This gives a clear difference as compared to the analytic case where the corresponding function spaces ( and ) are same.

     

An uncertainty principle for convolution operators on discrete groups

Consider a discrete group and a bounded self-adjoint convolution operator on ; let be the spectrum of . The spectral theorem gives a unitary isomorphism between and a direct sum , where , and is a regular Borel measure supported on . Through this isomorphism corresponds to multiplication by the identity function on each summand. We prove that a nonzero function and its transform cannot be simultaneously concentrated on sets , such that and the cardinality of are both small. This can be regarded as an extension to this context of Heisenberg's classical uncertainty principle.

If , it is known that where denotes the multiplicity of If in Corollary 1.5 we prove where is the first Hilbert coefficient of From this bound several results follow. Theorem 1.3 gives an upper bound on in a more general setting.

     

Maximal estimates for the -dimensional Walsh-Fourier series

The -dimensional dyadic martingale Hardy spaces are introduced and it is proved that the maximal operator of the means of a Walsh-Fourier series is bounded from to and is of weak type , provided that the supremum in the maximal operator is taken over a positive cone. As a consequence we obtain that the means of a function converge a.e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the means are uniformly bounded on whenever . Thus, in case , the means converge to in norm. The same results are proved for the conjugate means, too.

Let be an algebraic number field and be the ring of integers of . Let be a finite group and be a finitely generated torsion free -module. We say that is a globally irreducible -module if, for every maximal ideal of , the -module is irreducible, where stands for the residue field .

Answering a question of Pham Huu Tiep, we prove that the symmetric group does not have non-trivial globally irreducible modules. More precisely we establish that if is a globally irreducible -module, then is an -module of rank with the trivial or sign action of .
