Dye’s theorem in the almost continuous category

Suppose X and Y are Polish spaces with non-atomic Borel probability measures μ and ν and suppose that T and S are ergodic measure-preserving homeomorphisms of (X, μ) and (Y, ν). Then there are invariant G _δ subsets X′ ⊂ X and Y′ ⊂ Y of full measure and a homeomorphism ϕ: X′ → Y′ which maps μ|X′ to ν|Y′ and maps T-orbits onto S-orbits. We also deal with the case where T and S preserve infinite invariant measures.     

Any two irreducible Markov chains are finitarily orbit equivalent

Two invertible dynamical systems (X, gA, μ, T) and (Y, ℬ, ν, S), where X, Y are metrizable spaces and T, S are homeomorphisms on X and Y, are said to be finitarily orbit equivalent if there exists an invertible measure preserving mapping ϕ from a subset X ₀ of X of full measure to a subset Y ₀ of Y of full measure such that ϕ|x ₀ is continuous in the relative topology on X ₀, ϕ ⁻¹|Y ₀ is continuous in the relative topology on Y ₀ and ϕ(Orb _T (x)) = Orb _Sϕ (x) for μ-a.e. x ∈ X. In this article a finitary orbit equivalence mapping is shown to exist between any two irreducible Markov chains.     

Strictly ergodic models for non-invertible transformations

We generalize a result of R. Jewett [J]: IfT is an ergodic measure preserving transformation on (X, Ω,λ),T not necessarily invertible, there exists a strictly ergodicS acting on (Y, Θ,ν), whereY is compact, such that (X, Ω,λ, T) is measure theoretically isomorphic to (Y, Θ,ν, S).     

Any two irrational rotations are nearly continuously Kakutani equivalent

Ergodic homeomorphisms T and S of Polish probability spaces X and Y are evenly Kakutani equivalent if there is an orbit equivalence ϕ: X ₀ → Y ₀ between full measure subsets of X and Y such that, for some A ⊂ X ₀ of positive measure, ϕ restricts to a measurable isomorphism of the induced systems T _A and S _ϕ(A). The study of even Kakutani equivalence dates back to the seventies, and it is well known that any two irrational rotations of the circle are evenly Kakutani equivalent. But even Kakutani equivalence is a purely measurable relation, while systems such as irrational rotations are both measurable and topological.     

Local properties of the solution set of the operator equation in Banach spaces in a neighbourhood of a bifurcation point

In this work we study the problem of the existence of bifurcation in the solution set of the equation F(x, λ)=0, where F: X×R ^k →Y is a C ²-smooth operator, X and Y are Banach spaces such that X⊂Y. Moreover, there is given a scalar product 〈·,·〉: Y×Y→R ¹ that is continuous with respect to the norms in X and Y. We show that under some conditions there is bifurcation at a point (0, λ₀)∈X×R ^k and we describe the solution set of the studied equation in a small neighbourhood of this point.     

The solution of characteristic value-vector problems by Newton's method

LetT(λ) be a bounded linear operator in a Banach spaceX for eachλ in the scalar fieldS. The characteristic value-vector problemT(λ)x = 0 with a normalization conditionφ x = 1, whereφ ε X ^*, is formulated as a nonlinear problem inX xS:P(y) ≡ (T(λ)x, φ x - 1) = 0,y= (X, A). Newton's method and the Kantorovič theorem are applied. For this purpose, representations and criteria for existence ofP′(y)⁻¹ are obtained. The continuous dependence onT of characteristic values and vectors is investigated. A numerical example withT(λ) =A +λB +λ ² C is presented.

A generalization of peripherally-multiplicative surjections between standard operator algebras

Let A and B be standard operator algebras on Banach spaces X and Y, respectively. The peripheral spectrum σ_π (T) of T is defined by σ_π (T) = z ∈ σ(T): |z| = max_w∈σ(T) |w|. If surjective (not necessarily linear nor continuous) maps φ, ϕ: A → B satisfy σ_π (φ(S)ϕ(T)) = σ_π (ST) for all S; T ∈ A, then φ and ϕ are either of the form φ(T) = A ₁ TA ₂ ⁻¹ and ϕ(T) = A ₂ TA ₁ ⁻¹ for some bijective bounded linear operators A ₁; A ₂ of X onto Y, or of the form φ(T) = B ₁ T*B ₂ ⁻¹ and ϕ(T) = B ₂ T*B ⁻¹ for some bijective bounded linear operators B ₁;B ₂ of X* onto Y.      

Invariant measures for certain expansive ℤ2-actions

Letp>1 be prime, and letY ⊂X=(ℤ/pℤ)^{ℤ 2}) be an infinite, closed, shift-invariant subgroup with the following properties: the restriction toY of the shift-actionσ of ℤ² onX is mixing with respect to the Haar measureλ _Y ofY, and every closed, shift-invariant subgroupZ ⊂Y is finite. We prove that every sufficiently mixing, non-atomic, shift-invariant probability measureμ onY is equal toλ _Y .

L 1 (μ, X) as a constrained subspace of its bidual

In this note we consider the property of being constrained in the bidual, for the space of Bochner integrable functions. For a Banach spaceX having the Radon-Nikodym property and constrained in its bidual and forY ⊂ X, under a natural assumption onY, we show thatL ¹ (μ, X/Y) is constrained in its bidual andL ¹ (μ, Y) is a proximinal subspace ofL ¹(μ, X). As an application of these results, we show that, ifL ¹(μ, X) admits generalized centers for finite sets and ifY ⊂ X is reflexive, thenL ¹ μ, X/Y) also admits generalized centers for finite sets.     

Euler operator and homogeneous hida distributions

Let (S)⊄L ²(S′(∔),μ)⊄(S)^* be the Gel'fand triple over the white noise space (S′(∔),μ). Let (e _n ,n>-0) be the ONB ofL ²(∔) consisting of the eigenfunctions of the s.a. operator . In this paper the Euler operator Δ _E is defined as the sum , where ∂ _i stands for the differential operatorD _{e i}. It is shown that Δ _E is the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup (T _t ), where (T _t ϕ)(x)=ϕ(e ^t x) for ϕ∈(S). Similarly to the finite dimensional case, the λ-order homogeneous test functionals are characterized by the Euler equation: Δ _Eϕ =λ_ϕ. Via this characterization the λ-order homogeneous Hida distributions are defined and their properties are worked out. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Growth and Hölder conditions for the sample paths of Feller processes

Let (A,D(A)) be the infinitesimal generator of a Feller semigroup such that C _c ^∞(ℝ ⁿ )⊂D(A) and A|C _c ^∞(ℝ ⁿ ) is a pseudo-differential operator with symbol −p(x,ξ) satisfying |p(•,ξ)|_∞≤c(1+|ξ|²) and |Imp(x,ξ)|≤c ₀Rep(x,ξ). We show that the associated Feller process {X _t } _{t ≥0} on ℝ ⁿ is a semimartingale, even a homogeneous diffusion with jumps (in the sense of [21]), and characterize the limiting behaviour of its trajectories as t→0 and ∞. To this end, we introduce various indices, e.g., β_∞ ^x :={λ>0:lim _{|ξ|→∞ | x − y |≤2/|ξ|}|p(y,ξ)|/|ξ|^λ=0} or δ_∞ ^x :={λ>0:liminf _{|ξ|→∞ | x − y |≤2/|ξ| |ε|≤1}|p(y,|ξ|ε)|/|ξ|^λ=0}, and obtain a.s. (ℙ ^x ) that lim _{t →0} t ^−1/λ _{s ≤ t} |X _s −x|=0 or ∞ according to λ>β_∞ ^x or λ<δ_∞ ^x . Similar statements hold for the limit inferior and superior, and also for t→∞. Our results extend the constant-coefficient (i.e., Lévy) case considered by W. Pruitt [27]. Received: 21 July 1997 / Revised version: 26 January 1998     

Stanley depth of monomial ideals with small number of generators

For a monomial ideal I ⊂ S = K[x ₁...,x _n ], we show that sdepth(S/I) ≥ n − g(I), where g(I) is the number of the minimal monomial generators of I. If I =νI′, where ν ∈ S is a monomial, then we see that sdepth(S/I) = sdepth(S/I′). We prove that if I is a monomial ideal I ⊂ S minimally generated by three monomials, then I and S/I satisfy the Stanley conjecture. Given a saturated monomial ideal I ⊂ K[x ₁,x ₂,x ₃] we show that sdepth(I) = 2. As a consequence, sdepth(I) ≥ sdepth(K[x ₁,x ₂,x ₃]//I) +1 for any monomial ideal in I ⊂ K[x ₁,x ₂,x ₃].     

Homogenous projective factors for actions of semi-simple Lie groups

We analyze the structure of a continuous (or Borel) action of a connected semi-simple Lie group G with finite center and real rank at least 2 on a compact metric (or Borel) space X, using the existence of a stationary measure as the basic tool. The main result has the following corollary: Let P be a minimal parabolic subgroup of G, and K a maximal compact subgroup. Let λ be a P-invariant probability measure on X, and assume the P-action on (X,λ) is mixing. Then either λ is invariant under G, or there exists a proper parabolic subgroup Q⊂G, and a measurable G-equivariant factor map ϕ:(X,ν)→(G/Q,m), where ν=∫ _K kλdk and m is the K-invariant measure on G/Q. Furthermore, The extension has relatively G-invariant measure, namely (X,ν) is induced from a (mixing) probability measure preserving action of Q.

First-order optimality conditions in set-valued optimization

A a set-valued optimization problem min _C F(x), x ∈X ₀, is considered, where X ₀ ⊂ X, X and Y are normed spaces, F: X ₀ ⊂ Y is a set-valued function and C ⊂ Y is a closed cone. The solutions of the set-valued problem are defined as pairs (x ⁰,y ⁰), y ⁰ ∈F(x ⁰), and are called minimizers. The notions of w-minimizers (weakly efficient points), p-minimizers (properly efficient points) and i-minimizers (isolated minimizers) are introduced and characterized through the so called oriented distance. The relation between p-minimizers and i-minimizers under Lipschitz type conditions is investigated. The main purpose of the paper is to derive in terms of the Dini directional derivative first order necessary conditions and sufficient conditions a pair (x ⁰, y ⁰) to be a w-minimizer, and similarly to be a i-minimizer. The i-minimizers seem to be a new concept in set-valued optimization. For the case of w-minimizers some comparison with existing results is done.     

Continuity of eigenvalues of subordinate processes in domains

Let X={X_t,t≥0} be a symmetric Markov process in a state space E and D an open set of E. Let S⁽ⁿ⁾={S⁽ⁿ⁾_t, t ≥ 0} be a subordinator with Laplace exponent ϕ_n and S={S_t,t≥0} a subordinator with Laplace exponent ϕ. Suppose that X is independent of S and S⁽ⁿ⁾. In this paper we consider the subordinate processes and and their subprocesses and X^ϕ,D killed upon leaving D. Suppose that the spectra of the semigroups of and X^ϕ,D are all discrete, with being the eigenvalues of the generator of and being the eigenvalues of the generator of X^ϕ,D.

Kernels of Toeplitz operators,smooth functions,and Bernstein type inequalities

Let ϕ be a unimodular function on the unit circle and let K_p(ϕ) denote the kernel of the Toeplitz operator T_ϕ in the Hardy space H^p, p≥1; . Suppose K_p(ϕ)≠{0}. The problem is to find out how the smoothness of the symbol ϕ influences the boundary smoothness of functions in K_p(ϕ). One of the main results is as follows. Theorem 1 Let 1<p, q<+∞, 1<r≤+∞, q⁻¹=p⁻¹+r⁻¹. Suppose |ϕ|≡1 on and ϕ∈W _r ¹ (i.e., ). Then K_p(ϕ)⊂W _q ¹ . Moreover, for any f∈K_p(ϕ) we have ‖f′‖_q≤c(p, r)‖ϕ′‖_r ‖f‖. Bibliography: 19 titles.

De Rham -factors

We construct a theory of de Rham epsilon factors. Given a smooth projective variety X over a field of characteristic 0 and a -module , we may consider the determinant of de Rham cohomology as a graded super line. Let S be the singular support of , U an open in X, Y=X∖U, and ν a 1-form on U⊂X such that ν(U)∩S=∅. Then we show the existence of a canonically defined graded super line canonically isomorphic to . The key property is the local nature of the epsilon factor: it only depends on the restriction of and ν to any open neighborhood of Y. Restricting to the case of curves gives a theory of epsilon factors for curves previously defined by Beilinson, Bloch, Deligne, and Esnault.
