Two inequalities for the Perron Root

If A,B are irreducible, nonnegative n×n matrices with a common right eigenvector and a common left eigenvector corresponding to their respective spectral radii r(A), r(B), then it is shown that for any tϵ[0, 1], r(tA+(1−t)B^t)⩾tr(A)+ (1−t)r(B), where B^t is the transpose of B. Another inequality is proved that involves r(A) and r(Σ_lD^lAE^l), where A is a nonnegative, irreducible matrix and D^l, E^l are positive definite diagonal matrices. These inequalities generalize previous results due to Levinger and due to Friedland and Karlin.     

A note on vanishing of the functor ext1 for Köthe spaces

In this note we study the relationship between the vanishing of Ext¹(λ(A), λ(A)) and the existence of a regular basis in the Köthe space λ(A). We construct an example of a nuclear Köthe space λ(A) with no regular basis and such that Ext¹(λ(A), λ(A))=0. Then we show that for some classes of Köthe spaces λ(A), the vanishing of Ext¹(λ(A), λ(A)) yields a regular basis for λ(A).     

Generalizations of Bohr inequality for Hilbert space operators

Let B(H) be the space of all bounded linear operators on a complex separable Hilbert space H. Bohr inequality for Hilbert space operators asserts that for A,B∈B(H) and p,q>1 real numbers such that 1/p+1/q=1,

A common property of R(E, F) and B(ℝ n , ℝ m ) and a new method for seeking a path to connect two operators

Given two Banach spaces E, F, let B(E, F) be the set of all bounded linear operators from E into F, and R(E, F) the set of all operators in B(E, F) with finite rank. It is well-known that B(? ⁿ ) is a Banach space as well as an algebra, while B(? ⁿ , ? ^m ) for m ≠ n, is a Banach space but not an algebra; meanwhile, it is clear that R(E, F) is neither a Banach space nor an algebra. However, in this paper, it is proved that all of them have a common property in geometry and topology, i.e., they are all a union of mutual disjoint path-connected and smooth submanifolds (or hypersurfaces). Let Σ _r be the set of all operators of finite rank r in B(E, F) (or B(? ⁿ , ? ^m )). In fact, we have that 1) suppose Σ _r ∈ B(? ⁿ , ? ^m ), and then Σ _r is a smooth and path-connected submanifold of B(? ⁿ , ? ^m ) and dimΣ _r = (n + m)r ? r ², for each r ∈ [0, min{n,m}; if m ≠ n, the same conclusion for Σ _r and its dimension is valid for each r ∈ [0, min{n, m}]; 2) suppose Σ _r ∈ B(E, F), and dimF = ∞, and then Σ _r is a smooth and path-connected submanifold of B(E, F) with the tangent space T _A Σ _r = {B ∈ B(E, F): BN(A) ? R(A)} at each A ∈ Σ _r for 0 ? r ? ∞. The routine methods for seeking a path to connect two operators can hardly apply here. A new method and some fundamental theorems are introduced in this paper, which is development of elementary transformation of matrices in B(? ⁿ ), and more adapted and simple than the elementary transformation method. In addition to tensor analysis and application of Thom’s famous result for transversility, these will benefit the study of infinite geometry.     

Representation and character varieties of the Baumslag-Solitar groups

Representation and character varieties of the Baumslag–Solitar groups BS(p, q) are analyzed. Irreducible components of these varieties are found, and their dimension is calculated. It is proved that all irreducible components of the representation variety R_n(BS(p, q)) are rational varieties of dimension n², and each irreducible component of the character variety X_n(BS(p, q)) is a rational variety of dimension k ≤ n. The smoothness of irreducible components of the variety R_n^s (BS(p, q)) of irreducible representations is established, and it is proved that all irreducible components of the variety R_n^s (BS(p, q)) are isomorphic to A¹ {0}.     

Extensions of pairs of linear transformations between infinite-dimensional vector spaces

To a pair A, B:V→W of linear maps between complex vector spaces attach the pair (V, W) endowed with the operation (α, β)υ = (αA + βB)(υ), α,β ∈ C, υ ∈ V. A concept of rank, similar to the torsion-free rank of abelian groups, is definable for the systems (V, W). With appropriate morphisms, the systems from an abelian category and Ext¹ can be construed as a vector space valued functor. We find all the cases in which Ext¹ ((V, W), (X, Y)), with (X, Y), (V, W) indecomposable systems of rank 0 or 1, is finite-dimensional, and compute its dimension in these cases. This extends a former computation for finite-dimensional systems.     

Classifying Hilbert bundles

A Hilbert bundle (p, B, X) is a type of fibre space p:B → X such that each fibre p^?1(x) is a Hilbert space. However, p^?1(x) may vary in dimension as x varies in X. We generalize the classical homotopy classification theory of vector bundles to a “homotopy” classification of certain Hilbert bundles. An (m, n)-bundle over the pair (X, A) is a Hilbert bundle (p, B, X) such that the dimension of p^?1(x) is m for x in A and n otherwise. The main result here is that if A is a compact set lying in the “edge” of the metric space X (e.g. if X is a topological manifold and A is a compact subset of the boundary of X), then the problem of classifying (m, n)-bundles over (X, A) reduces to a problem in the classical theory of vector bundles. In particular, we show there is a one-to-one correspondence between the members of the orbit set, [A, G_m($\text{C}$ⁿ)]/[X, U(n)] ¦ A, and the isomorphism classes of (m, n)-bundles over (X, A) which are trivial over X, A.     

A specific family of cyclotomic polynomials of order three

Let A(n) be the largest absolute value of any coefficient of n-th cyclotomic polynomial Φn(x).We say Φn(x) is flat if A(n) = 1.In this paper,for odd primes p q r and 2r ≡ 1(mod pq),we prove that Φpqr(x) is flat if and only if p = 3 and q ≡ 1(mod 3).     

Boundedness of paraproduct operators on RD-spaces

Let(X,d,μ) be an RD-space with "dimension" n,namely,a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss satisfying a certain reverse doubling condition.Using the Calder'on reproducing formula,the authors hereby establish boundedness for paraproduct operators from the product of Hardy spaces H p(X) × H q(X) to the Hardy space H r(X),where p,q,r ∈(n/(n + 1),∞) satisfy 1/p + 1/q = 1/r.Certain endpoint estimates are also obtained.In view of the lack of the Fourier transform in this setting,the proofs are based on the derivation of appropriate kernel estimates.     

Duals of Hardy Spaces of B-valued Martingales for 0<r≤1

The dual of B-valued martingale Hardy space Hs(p)r(B) with small index 0 r ≤ 1,which is associated with the conditional p-variation of B-valued martingale,is characterized.In order to obtain the results,a new type of Campanato spaces for B-valued martingales is introduced and the classical technique of atomic decompositions is improved.Some results obtained here are connected closely with the p-uniform smoothness and q-uniform convexity of the underlying Banach space.     

Best N Term Approximation Spaces for Tensor Product Wavelet Bases

We consider best N term approximation using anisotropic tensor product wavelet bases ("sparse grids"). We introduce a tensor product structure ⊗_q on certain quasi-Banach spaces. We prove that the approximation spaces A^α_q(L₂) and A^α_q(H¹) equal tensor products of Besov spaces B^α_q(L_q), e.g., A^α_q(L₂([0,1]^d)) = B^α_q(L_q([0,1])) ⊗_q · ⊗_q B^α_{q · ·}(L_q([0,1])). Solutions to elliptic partial differential equations on polygonal/polyhedral domains belong to these new scales of Besov spaces.     

Quantum complexity of the approximation for the classes B(Wp ([0, 1])) and B(Hp ([0, 1]))

We study the approximation of functions from anisotropic Sobolev classes B(W^r_p([0,1]d)) and Hölder-Nikolskii classes B(H^r_p([0,1]d)) in the L_q([0,1]d) norm with q ≤ p in the quantum model of computation. We determine the quantum query complexity of this problem up to logarithmic factors. It shows that the quantum algorithms are significantly better than the classical deterministic or randomized algorithms.     

r-Numbers completion problems of partial upper canonical form I

A pair (A, B), where A is an n × n matrix and B is an n × m matrix, is said to have the nonnegative integers sequence {r_j}_j=1^p as the r-numbers sequence if r₁ = rank(B) and r_j = rank[B AB … A^j−1 B] − rank[B AB … A^j−2B], 2 ≤ j ≤ p. Given a partial upper triangular matrix A of size n × n in upper canonical form and an n × m matrix B, we develop an algorithm that obtains a completion A_c of A, such that the pair (A^c, B) has an r-numbers sequence prescribed under some restrictions.     

On a characterization of irreducibility of a non-negative matrix

Let A denote an n×n matrix with all its elements real and non-negative, and let r_i be the sum of the elements in the ith row of A, i=1,…,n. Let B=A?D(r₁,…,r_n), where D(r₁,…,r_n) is the diagonal matrix with r_i at the position (i,i). Then it is proved that A is irreducible if and only if rank B=n?1 and the null space of B^T contains a vector d whose entries are all non-null.     

A note on “Constructing matrices with prescribed off-diagonal submatrix and invariant polynomials”

Let F be any field and let B a matrix of F^q×p. Zaballa found necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a matrix A=[A_ij]_i,j∈{1,2}∈F^(p+q)×(p+q) with prescribed similarity class and such that A₂₁=B. In an earlier paper [A. Borobia, R. Canogar, Constructing matrices with prescribed off-diagonal submatrix and invariant polynomials, Linear Algebra Appl. 424 (2007) 615-633] we obtained, for fields of characteristic different from 2, a finite step algorithm to construct A when it exists. In this short note we extend the algorithm to any field.     

On Huppert’s Conjecture for 3 D 4(q), q ≥ 3

Let G be a finite group and cd(G) be the set of all complex irreducible character degrees of G. Bertram Huppert conjectured that if H is a finite nonabelian simple group such that cd(G) = cd(H), then G???H × A, where A is an abelian group. In this paper, we verify the conjecture for the family of simple exceptional groups of Lie type ³ D ₄(q), when q?≥?3.     

The Ext-group of unitary equivalence classes of unital extensions

Let A be a unital separable nuclear C*-algebra which belongs to the bootstrap category N and B be a separable stable C*-algebra. In this paper, we consider the group Ext _u (A, B) consisting of the unitary equivalence classes of unital extensions τ: A→Q(B). The relation between Ext _u (A, B) and Ext(A, B) is established. Using this relation, we show the half-exactness of Ext _u (·, B) and the (UCT) for Ext _u (A, B). Furthermore, under certain conditions, we obtain the half-exactness and Bott periodicity of Ext _u (A, ·).     

The weight distribution of irreducible cyclic codes with block lengths n1((q1−1)N)

We study the weight distribution of irreducible cyclic (n, k) codeswith block lengths n = n₁((q¹ ? 1)/N), where N|q ? 1, gcd(n₁,N) = 1, and gcd(l,N) = 1. We present the weight enumerator polynomial, A(z), when k = n₁l, k = (n₁ ? 1)l, and k = 2l. We also show how to find A(z) in general by studying the generator matrix of an (n₁, m) linear code, $\text{V}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{d}}$ over GF(q^d) where d = gcd (ord_n1(q), l). Specifically we study A(z) when $\text{V}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{d}}$ is a maximum distance separable code, a maximal shiftregister code, and a semiprimitive code. We tabulate some numbers A_μ which completely determine the weight distributionof any irreducible cyclic (n₁(2¹ ? 1), k) code over GF(2) for all n₁ ? 17.     

On simple modules of Hecke algebras of type Dn

This is a continuation of our previous work. We classify all the simple ?_q(D _n )-modules via an automorphismh defined on the set { λ | D^λ ≠ 0}. Whenf _n(q) ≠ 0, this yields a classification of all the simple ? ^q (D _n)- modules for arbitrary n. In general ( i. e., q arbitrary), if λ⁽¹⁾ = λ⁽²⁾,wegivea necessary and sufficient condition ( in terms of some polynomials ) to ensure that the irreducible ?_q,1(B _n )- module D^λ remains irreducible on restriction to ?_q(D _n ).     

Non-commutative operator Bohr inequality

It is shown that if A, B, X are Hilbert space operators such that X?γI, for the positive real number γ, and p,q>1 with 1/p+1/q=1, then |A−B|²?p|A|²+q|B|² with equality if and only if (1−p)A=B and γ||||A−B|²|||?|||p|A|²X+qX|B|²||| for every unitarily invariant norm. Moreover, if in addition A, B are normal and X is any Hilbert-Schmidt operator, then ‖δ_A,B²(X)‖₂?‖p|A|²X+qX|B|²‖₂ with equality if and only if (1−p)AX=XB.
