On the approximation of spectra of linear operators on Hilbert spaces

We present several new techniques for approximating spectra of linear operators (not necessarily bounded) on an infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space. Our approach is to take well-known techniques from finite-dimensional matrix analysis and show how they can be generalized to an infinite-dimensional setting to provide approximations of spectra of elements in a large class of operators. We conclude by proposing a solution to the general problem of approximating the spectrum of an arbitrary bounded operator by introducing the n-pseudospectrum and argue how that can be used as an approximation to the spectrum.

Composition operators on Bergman spaces over the punctured plane

We study the spaces of holomorphic functions on the punctured plane which are square integrable with respect to a weight. We determine when these spaces are finite-dimensional and which are composition operators acting on them, studying their cyclicity and hypercyclicity properties.     

Decomposing the essential spectrum

We use C^*-algebra theory to provide a new method of decomposing the essential spectra of self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators in one or more space dimensions.

Means in metric spaces and the center of mass

In this article k-convex metric spaces are considered where a several variable mapping is provided as a limit point of an iteration scheme based on the midpoint map in the metric space itself. This mapping, considered as a mean of its variables, has some properties which relates it to the center of mass of these variables in the metric space. Sufficient conditions are given here for the two points to be identical, as well as upper bounds on their distances from one another. The asymptotic rate of convergence of the iterative process defining the mean is also determined here. The case of the symmetric space on the convex cone of positive definite matrices related to the geometric mean and the special orthogonal group are also studied here as examples of k-convex metric spaces.     

Multilinear commutators of Calderón-Zygmund operators on Hardy-type spaces with non-doubling measures

Under the assumption that μ is a non-negative Radon measure on Rd which only satisfies some growth condition, the authors obtain the boundedness in some Hardy-type spaces of multilinear commutators generated by Calderón-Zygmund operators or fractional integrals with RBMO(μ) functions, where the Hardy-type spaces are some appropriate subspaces, associated to the considered RBMO(μ) functions, of the Hardy space H¹(μ) of Tolsa.     

A note on ball-covering property of Banach spaces

By a ball-covering B of a Banach space X, we mean that B is a collection of open (or closed) balls off the origin whose union contains the unit sphere SX of X; and X is said to have the ball-covering property (BCP) provided it admits a ball-covering by countably many balls. In this note we give a natural example showing that the ball-covering property of a Banach space is not inherited by its subspaces; and we present a sharp quantitative version of the recent Fonf and Zanco renorming result saying that if the dual X^∗ of X is w^∗ separable, then for every ε>0 there exist a (1+ε)-equivalent norm on X, and an R>0 such that in this new norm SX admits a ball-covering by countably many balls of radius R. Namely, we show that R=R(ε) can be taken arbitrarily close to (1+ε)/ε, and that for X=?₁[0,1] the corresponding R cannot be equal to 1/ε. This gives the sharp order of magnitude for R(ε) as ε→0.     

On binormality in non-separable Banach spaces

We study binormality, a separation property of the norm and weak topologies of a Banach space. We show that every Banach space which belongs to a P-class is binormal. We also show that the asplundness of a Banach space is equivalent to a related separation property of its dual space.     

Hardy spaces for the strip

In this paper we shall study Hardy spaces of analytic functions in a strip S. Our main result is on one hand an intrinsic characterization of the spaces and on the second that polynomials are dense. We also present an orthogonal (in H²(S)) basis of polynomials.

Some estimates for Bochner-Riesz operators on the weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces

In this paper, by using the atomic decomposition and molecular characterization of the homogeneous and non-homogeneous weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces , we obtain some weighted boundedness properties of the Bochner-Riesz operator and the maximal Bochner-Riesz operator on these spaces for α=n(1/p−1/q), 0<p?1 and 1<q<∞.     

The inclusion relation between Sobolev and modulation spaces

The inclusion relations between the Lp-Sobolev spaces and the modulation spaces is determined explicitly. As an application, mapping properties of unimodular Fourier multiplier eiα|D| between Lp-Sobolev spaces and modulation spaces are discussed.     

Projective modules over noncommutative tori are multi-window Gabor frames for modulation spaces

In the present investigation we link noncommutative geometry over noncommutative tori with Gabor analysis, where the first has its roots in operator algebras and the second in time-frequency analysis. We are therefore in the position to invoke modern methods of operator algebras, e.g. topological stable rank of Banach algebras, to display the deeper properties of Gabor frames. Furthermore, we are able to extend results due to Connes and Rieffel on projective modules over noncommutative tori to Banach algebras, which arise in a natural manner in Gabor analysis. The main goal of this investigation is twofold: (i) an interpretation of projective modules over noncommutative tori in terms of Gabor analysis and (ii) to show that the Morita-Rieffel equivalence between noncommutative tori is the natural framework for the duality theory of Gabor frames. More concretely, we interpret generators of projective modules over noncommutative tori as the Gabor atoms of multi-window Gabor frames for modulation spaces. Moreover, we show that this implies the existence of good multi-window Gabor frames for modulation spaces with Gabor atoms in e.g. Feichtinger's algebra or in Schwartz space.     

On certain spaces of vector measures of bounded variation

If (Σ,X) is a measurable space and X a Banach space we investigate the X-inheritance of copies of ?_∞ in certain subspaces Δ(Σ,X) of bvca(Σ,X), the Banach space of all X-valued countable additive measures of bounded variation equipped with the variation norm. Among the consequences of our main theorem we get a theorem of J. Mendoza on the X-inheritance of copies of ?_∞ in the Bochner space L₁(μ,X) and other of the author on the X-inheritance of copies of ?_∞ in bvca(Σ,X).     

Spectrum and analytical indices of the C-algebra of Wiener-Hopf operators

We study multivariate generalisations of the classical Wiener-Hopf algebra, which is the C^∗-algebra generated by the Wiener-Hopf operators, given by convolutions restricted to convex cones. By the work of Muhly and Renault, this C^∗-algebra is known to be isomorphic to the reduced C^∗-algebra of a certain restricted action groupoid, given by the action of Euclidean space on a certain compactification. Using groupoid methods, we construct composition series for the Wiener-Hopf C^∗-algebra by a detailed study of this compactification. We compute the spectrum, and express homomorphisms in K-theory induced by the symbol maps which arise by the subquotients of the composition series in analytical terms. Namely, these symbols maps turn out to be given by an analytical family index of a continuous family of Fredholm operators. In a subsequent paper, we also obtain a topological expression of these indices.     

On some iterated weighted spaces

It is proved that the Hörmander and spaces (Ω₁⊂Rn, Ω₂⊂Rm open sets, 1?p<∞, ki Beurling-Björck weights, k=k₁⊗k₂) are isomorphic whereas the iterated spaces and are not if 1<p≠q<∞. A similar result for weighted Lp-spaces of entire analytic functions is also obtained. Finally a result on iterated Besov spaces is given: and are not isomorphic when 1<q≠2<∞.

Workshop lecture on products of Fréchet spaces

The general question, “When is the product of Fréchet spaces Fréchet?” really depends on the questions of when a product of α₄ Fréchet spaces (also known as strongly Fréchet or countably bisequential spaces) is α₄, and when it is Fréchet. Two subclasses of the class of strongly Fréchet spaces shed much light on these questions. These are the class of α₃ Fréchet spaces and its subclass of ℵ₀-bisequential spaces. The latter is closed under countable products, the former not even under finite products. A number of fundamental results and open problems are recalled, some further highlighting the difference between being α₃ and Fréchet and being ℵ₀-bisequential.
