Strong approximation of Riesz means at critical index on Hp(T) (0<p≤1)

This paper is a continuation of [3]. Suppose f∈H^p(T), 0σ _r ^σ f,σ=1/p?1. When p=1, it is just the partial Fourier sums S_kf. In this paper we establish the sharp estimations on the degree of approximation: $$\left\{ { - \frac{1}{{logR}}\int\limits_1^R {\left\| {\sigma _r^\delta f - f} \right\|_{H^p (T)}^p \frac{{dr}}{r}} } \right\}^{1/p} \leqq C{\mathbf{ }}{}_p\omega \left( {f,{\mathbf{ }}( - \frac{1}{{logR}})^{1/p} } \right)_{H^p (T)} ,0< p< 1,$$ and \(\frac{1}{{\log L}}\sum\limits_{k - 1}^L {\frac{{\left\| {S_k f - f} \right\|_H 1_{(T)} }}{k} \leqq Cp\omega (f; - \frac{1}{{\log L}})_H 1_{(T)} } \) Where $$\omega (f,{\mathbf{ }}h)_{H^p (T)} \begin{array}{*{20}c} { = Sup} \\ {0 \leqq \left| u \right| \leqq h} \\ \end{array} \left\| {f( \cdot + u) - f( \cdot )} \right\|_{H^p (T).} $$ .     

Height of a Superposition

We observe that, given a poset ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ and a finite covering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}} = {\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} \cup \cdots \cup {\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} $ of its ordering, the height of the poset does not exceed the natural product of the heights of the corresponding sub-relations: $$\mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)} \leqslant \mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} } \right)} \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathfrak{h}{\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}.$$ Conversely for every finite sequence $(\xi_1,\cdots,\xi_n)$ of ordinals, every poset ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ of height at most $\xi_1\otimes\cdots\otimes\xi_n$ admits a partition ${\left( {{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} , \cdots ,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}$ of its ordering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}}$ such that each ${\left( {E,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{k} } \right)}$ has height at most $\xi_k$ . In particular for every finite sequence $(\xi_1,\cdots,\xi_n)$ of ordinals, the ordinal $$\xi _{1} \underline{ \otimes } \cdots \underline{ \otimes } \xi _{n} : = \sup {\left\{ {{\left( {\xi ^{\prime }_{1} \otimes \cdots \otimes \xi ^{\prime }_{n} } \right)} + 1:\xi ^{\prime }_{1} < \xi _{1} , \cdots ,\xi ^{\prime }_{n} < \xi _{n} } \right\}}$$ is the least $\xi$ for which the following partition relation holds $$\mathfrak{H}_{\xi } \to {\left( {\mathfrak{H}_{{\xi _{1} }} , \cdots ,\mathfrak{H}_{{\xi _{n} }} } \right)}^{2} $$ meaning: for every poset ${\left( {A,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}} \right)}$ of height at least $\xi$ and every finite covering ${\left( {{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{1} , \cdots ,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{n} } \right)}$ of its ordering ${\user1{\mathcal{R}}}$ , there is a $k$ for which the relation ${\left( {A,{\user1{\mathcal{R}}}_{k} } \right)}$ has height at least $\xi_k$ . The proof will rely on analogue properties of vertex coverings w.r.t. the natural sum.     

Relative asymptotics for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a discrete Sobolev inner product

We investigate the asymptotic properties of orthogonal polynomials for a class of inner products including the discrete Sobolev inner products $\left\langle {h,{\text{ }}g} \right\rangle = \int h g d\mu + \sum {_{j = 1}^m } \sum {_{i = 0}^{N_j } M_{j,i} h^{(i)} (c_j )} g^{(i)} (c_j )$ , where μ is a certain type of complex measure on the real line, andc _j are complex numbers in the complement of supp(μ). The Sobolev orthogonal polynomials are compared with the orthogonal polynomials corresponding to the measure μ.     

An analog of the weyl decomposition of the spaceL q (ω, ℝ n ) for a first-order differential operatorfor a first-order differential operator

We prove the following theorem: Suppose the function f(x) belongs toL _q (ω, ? ⁿ ), ω ? ? ^m , q∈(1, ∞), and satisfies the inequality $$|\int\limits_\omega {(f(x),{\mathbf{ }}v(x)){\mathbf{ }}dx| \leqslant \mu ||} v||'_q ,{\mathbf{ }}\tfrac{1}{q} + \tfrac{1}{{q'}} = 1,$$ for all n-dimensional vector-valued functions in the kernel of a scalar-valued first-order differential operator £ for which the second-order operatorLL ^* is elliptic. Then there exists a function p(x)∈W _q ¹ (ω) such that $$||f(x) - \mathfrak{L}^* p(x)||q \leqslant C_q \mu .$$ Bibliography: 6 titles.

Non-Uniformity and Generalised Sacks Splitting

We show that there do not exist computable functions f ₁(e, i), f ₂(e, i), g ₁(e, i), g ₂(e, i) such that for all e, i ∈ ω, (1) $ {\left( {W_{{f_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{f_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)}; $ (2) $ {\left( {W_{{g_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{g_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)}; $ (3) $ {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \not\leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{{f_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{f_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)} \oplus {\left( {W_{{g_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{g_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)}; $ (4) $ {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \not\leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{{f_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{f_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)}{\text{unless}}{\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\emptyset};{\text{and}} $ (5) $ {\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\left( {W_{{g_{1} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} - W_{{g_{2} {\left( {e,i} \right)}}} } \right)}{\text{unless}}{\left( {W_{e} - W_{i} } \right)} \leqslant _{{\rm T}} {\emptyset}. $ It follows that the splitting theorems of Sacks and Cooper cannot be combined uniformly.     

Uniqueness of the embedding continuous convolution semigroup of a Gaussian probability measure on the affine group and an application in mathematical finance

Let $\{\mu _{t}^{(i)}\}_{t\ge 0}$ ( $i=1,2$ ) be continuous convolution semigroups (c.c.s.) of probability measures on $\mathbf{Aff(1)}$ (the affine group on the real line). Suppose that $\mu _{1}^{(1)}=\mu _{1}^{(2)}$ . Assume furthermore that $\{\mu _{t}^{(1)}\}_{t\ge 0}$ is a Gaussian c.c.s. (in the sense that its generating distribution is a sum of a primitive distribution and a second-order differential operator). Then $\mu _{t}^{(1)}=\mu _{t}^{(2)}$ for all $t\ge 0$ . We end up with a possible application in mathematical finance.     

A Construction of Generalized Harish-Chandra Modules for Locally Reductive Lie Algebras

We study cohomological induction for a pair $ {\left( {\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k}} \right)} $ , $ \mathfrak{g} $ being an infinitedimensional locally reductive Lie algebra and $ \mathfrak{k} \subset \mathfrak{g} $ being of the form $ \mathfrak{k}_{0} \subset C_{\mathfrak{g}} {\left( {\mathfrak{k}_{0} } \right)} $ , where $ \mathfrak{k}_{0} \subset \mathfrak{g} $ is a finite-dimensional reductive in $ \mathfrak{g} $ subalgebra and $ C_{\mathfrak{g}} {\left( {\mathfrak{k}_{0} } \right)} $ is the centralizer of $ \mathfrak{k}_{0} $ in $ \mathfrak{g} $ . We prove a general nonvanishing and $ \mathfrak{k} $ -finiteness theorem for the output. This yields, in particular, simple $ {\left( {\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k}} \right)} $ -modules of finite type over k which are analogs of the fundamental series of generalized Harish-Chandra modules constructed in [PZ1] and [PZ2]. We study explicit versions of the construction when $ \mathfrak{g} $ is a root-reductive or diagonal locally simple Lie algebra.     

A new “dinv” arising from the two part case of the shuffle conjecture

For a symmetric function F, the eigen-operator Δ _F acts on the modified Macdonald basis of the ring of symmetric functions by $\Delta_{F} \tilde{H}_{\mu}= F[B_{\mu}] \tilde{H}_{\mu}$ . In a recent paper (Int. Math. Res. Not. 11:525–560, 2004), J. Haglund showed that the expression $\langle\Delta_{h_{J}} E_{n,k}, e_{n}\rangle$ q,t-enumerates the parking functions whose diagonal word is in the shuffle 12?J∪∪J+1?J+n with k of the cars J+1,…,J+n in the main diagonal including car J+n in the cell (1,1) by t ^area q ^dinv. In view of some recent conjectures of Haglund–Morse–Zabrocki (Can. J. Math., doi:10.4153/CJM-2011-078-4, 2011), it is natural to conjecture that replacing E _n,k by the modified Hall–Littlewood functions $\mathbf{C}_{p_{1}}\mathbf{C}_{p_{2}}\cdots\mathbf{C}_{p_{k}} 1$ would yield a polynomial that enumerates the same collection of parking functions but now restricted by the requirement that the Dyck path supporting the parking function touches the diagonal according to the composition p=(p ₁,p ₂,…,p _k ). We prove this conjecture by deriving a recursion for the polynomial $\langle\Delta_{h_{J}} \mathbf{C}_{p_{1}}\mathbf{C}_{p_{2}}\cdots \mathbf{C}_{p_{k}} 1 , e_{n}\rangle $ , using this recursion to construct a new $\operatorname{dinv}$ statistic (which we denote $\operatorname{ndinv}$ ), then showing that this polynomial enumerates the latter parking functions by $t^{\operatorname{area}} q^{\operatorname{ndinv}}$ .     

Exact bounds for simultaneous approximation of functions of two variables and their derivatives by bilinear splines

We find the exact value of the expression $$\varepsilon ^{(l,q)} {\mathbf{ }}(W^{(r,s)} ){\mathbf{ }}H^{w_1 ,w_2 } (G)) = \sup \{ ||f^{(l,q)} ( \cdot {\mathbf{ }}, \cdot ) - S_{1,1}^{(l,q)} (f;{\mathbf{ }} \cdot {\mathbf{ }}, \cdot )||_{C(G)} :f \in W^{(r,{\mathbf{ }}s)} H^{w_1 ,w_2 } (G)\} ,$$ , where? ^(l,q) (x,y)=? ^1+q ?/?x ^l ?y ^q (l, q=0, 1, 1≤l+q≤2) andS _1,1(f; x, y) is a bilinear spline interpolatingf(x, y) in the nodes of the grid Δ _mn =Δ _m ^x ×Δ _n ^y with Δ _m ^x :x _i =i/m (i=0, ..., m) and Δ _n ^y :y _j =j/n (j=0, ..., n). Here $(W^{(r,s)} ){\mathbf{ }}H^{w_1 ,w_2 } (G)$ is the class of functionsf(x, y) with continuous derivativesf ^(r,s)(x, y) (r, s=0, 1, 1≤r+s≤2) on the squareG=[0, 1]×[0, 1] and with the modulus of continuity satisfying the inequalityω(f ^(r,s);t, τ)≤ω ₁ (t)+ω ₂ (τ), whereω ₁ (τ) andω ₂ (τ) are the given moduli of continuity.     

Harmonic mappings and conformal minimal immersions of Riemann surfaces into {\mathbb {R}^{\rm N}}

We prove that for any open Riemann surface ${\mathcal{N}}$ , natural number N ≥ 3, non-constant harmonic map ${h:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}}$ ^N?2 and holomorphic 2-form ${\mathfrak{H}}$ on ${\mathcal{N}}$ , there exists a weakly complete harmonic map ${X=(X_j)_{j=1,\ldots,{\sc N}}:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}^{\sc N}}$ with Hopf differential ${\mathfrak{H}}$ and ${(X_j)_{j=3,\ldots,{\sc N}}=h.}$ In particular, there exists a complete conformal minimal immersion ${Y=(Y_j)_{j=1,\ldots,{\sc N}}:\mathcal{N} \to \mathbb{R}^{\sc N}}$ such that ${(Y_j)_{j=3,\ldots,{\sc N}}=h}$ . As some consequences of these results (1) there exist complete full non-decomposable minimal surfaces with arbitrary conformal structure and whose generalized Gauss map is non-degenerate and fails to intersect N hyperplanes of ${\mathbb{CP}^{{\sc N}-1}}$ in general position. (2) There exist complete non-proper embedded minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}^{\sc N},}$ ${\forall\,{\sc N} >3 .}$      

On the distinctness of modular reductions of primitive sequences over Z/(232−1)

This paper studies the distinctness of modular reductions of primitive sequences over ${\mathbf{Z}/(2^{32}-1)}$ . Let f(x) be a primitive polynomial of degree n over ${\mathbf{Z}/(2^{32}-1)}$ and H a positive integer with a prime factor coprime with 2³²?1. Under the assumption that every element in ${\mathbf{Z}/(2^{32}-1)}$ occurs in a primitive sequence of order n over ${\mathbf{Z}/(2^{32}-1)}$ , it is proved that for two primitive sequences ${\underline{a}=(a(t))_{t\geq 0}}$ and ${\underline{b}=(b(t))_{t\geq 0}}$ generated by f(x) over ${\mathbf{Z}/(2^{32}-1), \underline{a}=\underline{b}}$ if and only if ${a\left( t\right) \equiv b\left( t\right) \bmod{H}}$ for all t ≥ 0. Furthermore, the assumption is known to be valid for n between 7 and 100, 000, the range of which is sufficient for practical applications.     

The morphism induced by Frobenius push-forward

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g 2 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p0,and F:X→X(1)the relative Frobenius morphism.Let M s X(r,d)(resp.M ss X(r,d))be the moduli space of(resp.semi-)stable vector bundles of rank r and degree d on X.We show that the set-theoretic map S ss Frob:M ss X(r,d)→M ss X(1)(rp,d+r(p-1)(g-1))induced by[E]→[F(E)]is a proper morphism.Moreover,the induced morphism S s Frob:M s X(r,d)→M s X(1)(rp,d+r(p-1)(g-1))is a closed immersion.As an application,we obtain that the locus of moduli space M s X(1)(p,d)consisting of stable vector bundles whose Frobenius pull backs have maximal Harder-Narasimhan polygons is isomorphic to the Jacobian variety Jac X of X.     

Ultrapowers ofL 1(μ) and the subsequence splitting principle

We study the ultrapowers $L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{U} $ of aL ₁(μ) space, by describing the components of the well-known representation $L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{U} = L_1 (\mu _\mathfrak{U} ) \oplus _1 L_1 (\nu _\mathfrak{U} )$ , and we give a representation of the projection from $L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{U} $ onto $L_1 (\mu _\mathfrak{U} )$ . Moreover, the subsequence splitting principle forL ₁(μ) motivates the following question: if $\mathfrak{V}$ is an ultrafilter on ? and $[f_i ] \in L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{V} $ , is it possible to find a weakly convergent sequence (g _i ) ?L ₁(μ) following $\mathfrak{V}$ and a disjoint sequence (h _i ) ?L ₁(μ) such that [f _i ]=[g _i ]+[h _i ]? If $\mathfrak{V}$ is a selective ultrafilter, we find a positive answer by showing that $f = [f_i ] \in L_1 (\mu )_\mathfrak{V} $ belongs to $L_1 (\mu _{_\mathfrak{V} } )$ if and only if its representatives {f _i } are weakly convergent following $\mathfrak{V}$ and $f \in L_1 (\nu _\mathfrak{V} )$ if and only if it admits a representative consisting of pairwise disjoint functions. As a consequence, we obtain a new proof of the subsequence splitting principle. If $\mathfrak{V}$ is not a p-point then the above characterizations of $L_1 (\nu _{_\mathfrak{V} } )$ and $L_1 (\nu _{_\mathfrak{V} } )$ fail and the answer to the question is negative.     

Morrey-type regularity of solutions to parabolic problems with discontinuous data

We consider regular oblique derivative problem in cylinder Q _T ?=????× (0, T), ${\Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^n}$ for uniformly parabolic operator ${{{\mathfrak P}}=D_t- \sum_{i,j=1}^n a^{ij}(x)D_{ij}}$ with VMO principal coefficients. Its unique strong solvability is proved in Manuscr. Math. 203?C220 (2000), when ${{{\mathfrak P}}u\in L^p(Q_T)}$ , ${p\in(1,\infty)}$ . Our aim is to show that the solution belongs to the generalized Sobolev?CMorrey space ${W^{2,1}_{p,\omega}(Q_T)}$ , when ${{{\mathfrak P}}u\in L^{p,\omega} (Q_T)}$ , ${p\in (1, \infty)}$ , ${\omega(x,r):\,{\mathbb R}^{n+1}_+\to {\mathbb R}_+}$ . For this goal an a priori estimate is obtained relying on explicit representation formula for the solution. Analogous result holds also for the Cauchy?CDirichlet problem.     

A sharp equivalence between H ∞ functional calculus and square function estimates

Let (T _t ) _{t?≥ 0} be a bounded analytic semigroup on L ^p (Ω), with 1?<?p?<?∞. Let ?A denote its infinitesimal generator. It is known that if A and A ^* both satisfy square function estimates ${\bigl\|\bigl(\int_{0}^{\infty} \vert A^{\frac{1}{2}} T_t(x)\vert^2 {\rm d}t \bigr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigr\|_{L^p} \lesssim \|x\|_{L^p}}$ and ${\bigl\|\bigl(\int_{0}^{\infty} \vert A^{*\frac{1}{2}} T_t^*(y) \vert^2 {\rm d}t \bigr)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigr\|_{L^{p^\prime}} \lesssim \|y\|_{L^{p^\prime}}}$ for ${x\in L^p(\Omega)}$ and ${y\in L^{p^\prime}(\Omega)}$ , then A admits a bounded ${H^{\infty}(\Sigma_\theta)}$ functional calculus for any ${\theta>\frac{\pi}{2}}$ . We show that this actually holds true for some ${\theta<\frac{\pi}{2}}$ .     

Eta Cocycles, Relative Pairings and the Godbillon–Vey Index Theorem

We prove a Godbillon?CVey index formula for longitudinal Dirac operators on a foliated bundle with boundary ${(X,\mathcal{F})}$ ; in particular, we define a Godbillon?CVey eta invariant on ${(\partial X,\mathcal{F}_{\partial}),}$ that is, a secondary invariant for longitudinal Dirac operators on type III foliations. Moreover, employing the Godbillon?CVey index as a pivotal example, we explain a new approach to higher index theory on geometric structures with boundary. This is heavily based on the interplay between the absolute and relative pairings of K-theory and cyclic cohomology for an exact sequence of Banach algebras, which in the present context takes the form ${0 \to \mathbf{\mathfrak{J}} \to \mathbf{\mathfrak{A}} \to \mathbf{\mathfrak{B}} \to 0}$ with ${ \mathbf{\mathfrak{J}}}$ dense and holomorphically closed in ${C^* (X,\mathcal{F})}$ and ${ \mathbf{\mathfrak{B}}}$ depending only on boundary data. Of particular importance is the definition of a relative cyclic cocycle ${(\tau_{GV}^r,\sigma_{GV})}$ for the pair ${\mathbf{\mathfrak{A}} \to \mathbf{\mathfrak{B}}}$ ; ${\tau_{GV}^r}$ is a cyclic cochain on ${\mathbf{\mathfrak{A}}}$ defined through a regularization à la Melrose of the usual Godbillon?CVey cyclic cocycle ?? _GV ; ?? _GV is a cyclic cocycle on ${\mathbf{\mathfrak{B}}}$ , obtained through a suspension procedure involving ?? _GV and a specific 1-cyclic cocycle (Roe??s 1-cocycle). We call ?? _GV the eta cocycle associated to ?? _GV . The Atiyah?CPatodi?CSinger formula is obtained by defining a relative index class ${{\rm Ind} (D,D^\partial) \in K_* (\mathbf{\mathfrak{A}}, \mathbf{\mathfrak{B}})}$ and establishing the equality ${\langle {\rm Ind} (D), [\tau_{GV}] \rangle\,=\,\langle {\rm Ind} (D,D^\partial), [(\tau^r_{GV}, \sigma_{GV})] \rangle}$ . The Godbillon?CVey eta invariant ?? _GV is obtained through the eta cocycle ?? _GV .     

Pointwise estimates for Lagrange interpolation polynomials

Let f ∈ C[?1, 1]. Let the approximation rate of Lagrange interpolation polynomial of f based on the nodes $ \left\{ {\cos \frac{{2k - 1}} {{2n}}\pi } \right\} \cup \{ - 1,1\} $ be Δ _{n + 2}(f, x). In this paper we study the estimate of Δ _{n + 2}(f,x), that keeps the interpolation property. As a result we prove that $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\ln (n + 1) + \omega \left( {f,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|} \right)} \right\}, $$ where T _n (x) = cos (n arccos x) is the Chebeyshev polynomial of first kind. Also, if f ∈ C ^r [?1, 1] with r ≧ 1, then $$ \Delta _{n + 2} (f,x) = \mathcal{O}(1)\left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {{n^r }}\left| {T_n (x)} \right|\omega \left( {f^{(r)} ,\frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }} {n}} \right)\left( {\left( {\sqrt {1 - x^2 } + \frac{1} {n}} \right)^{r - 1} \ln (n + 1) + 1} \right)} \right\}. $$      

Orthogonality properties of linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials II

Let and be polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to the measures dσ and dμ, respectively. In this paper we consider the question how the orthogonality measures dσ and dμ are related to each other if the orthogonal polynomials are connected by a relation of the form , for , where . It turns out that the two measures are related by if , where and are known trigonometric polynomials of fixed degree and where the 's are the zeros of on . If the 's and 's are uniformly bounded then (under some additional conditions) much more can be said. Indeed, in this case the measures dσ and dμ have to be of the form and , respectively, where are nonnegative trigonometric polynomials. Finally, the question is considered to which weight functions polynomials of the form where denotes the reciprocal polynomial of , can be orthogonal. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
