On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> affine isoperimetric inequalities

We obtain an isoperimetric inequality which estimate the affine invariant p-surface area measure on convex bodies. We also establish the reverse version of L _p -Petty projection inequality and an affine isoperimetric inequality of Γ_− p K.     

Rationality of the vertex operator algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">V</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis></Subscript>+ for a positive definite even lattice <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>

The lattice vertex operator algebra V_L associated to a positive definite even lattice L has an automorphism of order 2 lifted from –1-isometry of L. The fixed point set V_L+ of V_L for the automorphism is naturally a vertex operator algebra. We prove that any ₀-graded weak V_L⁺-module is completely reducible.Supported by JSPS Research Fellowships for Young Scientists.     

Maximal regularity for evolution equations in weighted <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-spaces

Let X be a Banach space and let A be a closed linear operator on X. It is shown that the abstract Cauchy problem enjoys maximal regularity in weighted L _p -spaces with weights , where , if and only if it has the property of maximal L _p -regularity. Moreover, it is also shown that the derivation operator admits an -calculus in weighted L _p -spaces. Received: 26 February 2003     

Optimal <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-discrepancy bounds for second order digital sequences

In this paper we state a one-to-one connection between the maximal ratio of the circumradius and the diameter of a body (the Jung constant) in an arbitrary Minkowski space and the maximal Minkowski asymmetry of the complete bodies within that space. This allows to generalize and unify recent results on complete bodies and to derive a necessary condition on the unit ball of the space, assuming a given body to be complete. Finally, we state several corollaries, e.g. concerning the Helly dimension or the Banach–Mazur distance.

Linear differential equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript> with radial derivatives

We obtain a solution of a linear differential equation with a radial derivative. The coefficients and the solution are functionals on L ₂[a, b]. In the same space, we study the properties of solutions of second-order linear homogeneous equations.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-Boundedness of general index transforms

We establish the boundedness properties in L _p for a class of integral transformations with respect to an index of hypergeometric functions. In particular, by using the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem, we get the corresponding results in L _p (R ₊), 1 p 2, for the Kontorovich-Lebedev, Mehler-Fock, and Olevskii index transforms. An inversion theorem is proved for a general index transformation. The case p=2 is known as the Plancherel-type theory for this class of transformations.__________Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 127–147, January–March, 2005.     

Sharp Markov brothers type inequality in the spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript> on a closed interval

A recent modification of a classic Landau-Lifshitz equation that includes the socalled spin-transfer torque is widely recognized in physics community as a model of magnetization dynamics in certain nanodevices. Motivated by some experimental evidence, we introduce a generalization of this model, coupled Landau-Lifshitz equations with spin-transfer torque terms, and analyze it from dynamical systems standpoint. An explicit stability criterion for the critical points in terms of all parameters of the system is derived and illustrated with stability diagrams. Our analysis provides certain guidelines for the design of magnetic nanodevices with optimized response to control parameters.     

A note on the complexity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> minimization

We discuss the L _p (0 ≤ p < 1) minimization problem arising from sparse solution construction and compressed sensing. For any fixed 0 < p < 1, we prove that finding the global minimal value of the problem is strongly NP-Hard, but computing a local minimizer of the problem can be done in polynomial time. We also develop an interior-point potential reduction algorithm with a provable complexity bound and demonstrate preliminary computational results of effectiveness of the algorithm.     

Point sets with low <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-discrepancy

In this paper we study the L _p -discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets. While it is known that the (unshifted) Hammersley point set (which is also known as Roth net) with N points has L _p -discrepancy (p an integer) of order (log N)/N, we show that there always exists a shift such that the digitally shifted Hammersley point set has L _p -discrepancy (p an even integer) of order which is best possible by a result of W. Schmidt. Further we concentrate on the case p = 2. We give very tight lower and upper bounds for the L ₂-discrepancy of digitally shifted Hammersley point sets which show that the value of the L ₂-discrepancy of such a point set mostly depends on the number of zero coordinates of the shift and not so much on the position of these.

Strictly singular operators in pairs of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis> <Subscript> <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> </Subscript> space

Let E and F be Banach spaces. A linear operator from E to F is said to be strictly singular if, for any subspace Q ? E, the restriction of A to Q is not an isomorphism. A compactness criterion for any strictly singular operator from L_p to L_q is found. There exists a strictly singular but not superstrictly singular operator on L_p, provided that p ≠ 2.

Interpolation of nonlinear operators in weighted <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-spaces

We show that Peetre’s classical interpolation theorem in weighted L _p -spaces is carried over to some classes of nonlinear operators containing in particular the Lipschitz operators and operators close to them in the properties satisfying less restrictive conditions than Lipschitz in each of the spaces of a Banach pair.     

On Transference of Multipliers on Matrix Weighted <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-Spaces

We consider a periodic matrix weight W defined on ℝ ^d and taking values in the N×N positive-definite matrices. For such weights, we prove transference results between multiplier operators on L _p (ℝ ^d ;W) and L_p(\mathbb T^d;W)L_{p}(\mathbb {T}^{d};W), 1<p<∞, respectively. As a specific application, we study transference results for homogeneous multipliers of degree zero.     

Entropy conditions for <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis></Subscript>-convergence of empirical processes

The law of large numbers (LLN) over classes of functions is a classical topic of empirical processes theory. The properties characterizing classes of functions on which the LLN holds uniformly (i.e. Glivenko–Cantelli classes) have been widely studied in the literature. An elegant sufficient condition for such a property is finiteness of the Koltchinskii–Pollard entropy integral, and other conditions have been formulated in terms of suitable combinatorial complexities (e.g. the Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension). In this paper, we endow the class of functions with a probability measure and consider the LLN relative to the associated L _r metric. This framework extends the case of uniform convergence over , which is recovered when r goes to infinity. The main result is a L _r -LLN in terms of a suitable uniform entropy integral which generalizes the Koltchinskii–Pollard entropy integral.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript> discrepancy of generalized two-dimensional Hammersley point sets

We determine the L _p discrepancy of the two-dimensional Hammersley point set in base b. These formulas show that the L _p discrepancy of the Hammersley point set is not of best possible order with respect to the general (best possible) lower bound on L _p discrepancies due to Roth and Schmidt. To overcome this disadvantage we introduce permutations in the construction of the Hammersley point set and show that there always exist permutations such that the L _p discrepancy of the generalized Hammersley point set is of best possible order. For the L ₂ discrepancy such permutations are given explicitly.

Selberg＇s Normal Density Theorem for Automorphic L-Functions for GLm

Let π be an irreducible unitary cuspidal representation of GLm（AQ） with m ≥ 2, and L（s, Tr） the L-function attached to π. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for L（s,π）, we estimate the normal density of primes in short intervals for the automorphic L-function L（s, π）. Our result generalizes the corresponding theorem of Selberg for the Riemann zeta-function.     

Ordinal indices of Small Subspaces of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

We calculate the ordinal L _p index defined in [3] for Rosenthal’s space X _p , \({\ell_p}\) and \({\ell_2}\). We show that an infinite-dimensional subspace of L _p \({(2 < p < \infty)}\) non-isomorphic to \({\ell_2}\) embeds in \({\ell_p}\) if and only if its ordinal index is the minimal possible. We also give a sufficient condition for a \({\mathcal{L}_p}\) subspace of \({\ell_p \oplus \ell_2}\) to be isomorphic to X _p .
