A CORONA THEOREM FOR COUNTABLY MANY FUNCTIONS ON A CLASS OF INFINITELY CONNE CTED DOMAINS

Lei D be a domain in the complex plane, and H~∞(D) be the Banach algebra ofbounded analytic functions on D. Rosenblum proved a corona theorem for countably manyfunctions on the open unit disk, Rudol extended the result to the finitely connected domains.In this paper the author uses Behrens' idea to extend the result to a class of infinitelyconnected domains.     

The ¯∂-problem for multipliers of the Sobolev space

For , let and be the spaces of multipliers of , the Sobolev space on the unit circle, and , the Dirichlet type space on the open unit disk, respectively. In fact, and are obtained from and by analytic extension. In this paper, we show that if is an -Carleson measure on the open unit disk, then there exists a function f defined on the closed unit disk such that the equation holds on the open unit disk, and such that the boundary value function f belongs to . For applications, we first establish the corona theorem for , which, in the case , gives the answer to a question of L. Brown and A. L. Shields. Secondly, we obtain a geometric characterization of the interpolating sequences for with that extends a theorem of D. E. Marshall and C. Sundberg.

Wiener's tauberian theorem for spherical functions on the automorphism group of the unit disk

Our main result gives necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of Fourier transforms, for an ideal in the convolution algebra of spherical integrable functions on the (conformal) automorphism group of the unit disk to be dense, or to have as closure the closed ideal of functions with integral zero. This is then used to prove a generalization of Furstenberg's theorem, which characterizes harmonic functions on the unit disk by a mean value property, and a “two circles” Morera type theorem (earlier announced by Agranovskii). The second author's work was partially supported by the fund for the promotion of research at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. The third author's work was partially supported by the Swedish Natural Science Research Council, and by the 1992 Wallenberg Prize from the Swedish Mathematical Society.     

Some Remarks on the Algebra of Bounded Dirichlet Series

We consider here the algebra of functions which are analytic and bounded in the right half-plane and can moreover be expanded as an ordinary Dirichlet series. We first give a new proof of a theorem of Bohr saying that this expansion converges uniformly in each smaller half-plane; then, as a consequence of the alternative definition of this algebra as an algebra of functions analytic in the infinite-dimensional polydisk, we first observe that it does not verify the corona theorem of Carleson; and then, we give in a deterministic way a new quantitative proof of the Bohnenblust-Hille optimality theorem, through the construction of a generalized Rudin-Shapiro sequence of polynomials. Finally, we compare this proof with probabilistic ones.

An elementary proof of the Lagrange multiplier theorem in normed linear spaces

We present an elementary proof of the Lagrange multiplier theorem for optimization problems with equality constraints in normed linear spaces. Most proofs in the literature rely on advanced concepts and results, such as the implicit function theorem and the Lyusternik theorem. By contrast, the proof given in this article employs only basic results from linear algebra, the critical-point condition for unconstrained minima and the fact that a continuous function attains its minimum over a closed ball in the finite-dimensional space.     

A short elementary proof of the Lagrange multiplier theorem

We present a short elementary proof of the Lagrange multiplier theorem for equality-constrained optimization. Most proofs in the literature rely on advanced analysis concepts such as the implicit function theorem, whereas elementary proofs tend to be long and involved. By contrast, our proof uses only basic facts from linear algebra, the definition of differentiability, the critical-point condition for unconstrained minima, and the fact that a continuous function attains its minimum over a closed ball.     

Nevanlinna–Pick Interpolation and Factorization of Linear Functionals

If \mathfrakA{\mathfrak{A}} is a unital weak-* closed algebra of multiplication operators on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space which has the property \mathbbA₁(1){\mathbb{A}_1(1)}, then the cyclic invariant subspaces index a Nevanlinna–Pick family of kernels. This yields an NP interpolation theorem for a wide class of algebras. In particular, it applies to many function spaces over the unit disk including Bergman space. We also show that the multiplier algebra of a complete NP space has \mathbbA₁(1){\mathbb{A}_1(1)}, and thus this result applies to all of its subalgebras. A matrix version of this result is also established. It applies, in particular, to all unital weak-* closed subalgebras of H ^∞ acting on Hardy space or on Bergman space.     

Quotients of little Lipschitz algebras

We prove a Tietze type theorem which provides extensions of little Lipschitz functions defined on closed subsets. As a consequence, we get that the quotient of any little Lipschitz algebra by any norm-closed ideal is another little Lipschitz algebra.

     

Purely infinite corona algebras of simple C*-algebras

In this paper, we study the problem of when the corona algebra of a non-unital C*-algebra is purely infinite. A complete answer is obtained for stabilisations of simple and unital algebras that have enough comparison of positive elements. Our result relates the pure infiniteness condition (from its strongest to weakest forms) to the geometry of the tracial simplex of the algebra, and to the behaviour of corona projections, despite the fact that there is no real rank zero condition.     

Dimension Formulas for the Free Nonassociative Algebra

The free nonassociative algebra has two subspaces which are closed under both the commutator and the associator: the Akivis elements and the primitive elements. Every Akivis element is primitive, but there are primitive elements which are not Akivis. Using a theorem of Shestakov, we give a recursive formula for the dimension of the Akivis elements. Using a theorem of Shestakov and Umirbaev, we prove a closed formula for the dimension of the primitive elements. These results generalize the Witt dimension formula for the Lie elements in the free associative algebra.     

Approximate Identities for Ideals of Segal Algebras on A Compact Group

We show that every closed ideal of a Segal algebra on a compact group admits a central approximate identity which has the property, called condition (U), that the induced multiplication operators converge to the identity operator uniformly on compact sets of the ideal. This result extends a known one due to H. Reiter who has considered the problem under the condition that the Segal algebra is symmetric. We prove further that a closed right ideal of a Segal algebra on a compact group admits a left approximate identity satisfying condition (U) if and only if it is approximately complemented as a subspace of the Segal algebra; if in addition the Segal algebra is symmetric, then a closed left ideal admits a right approximate identity satisfying condition (U) if and only if it is approximately complemented.     

Topological stable rank of H ∞(Ω) for circular domains Ω

Let Ω be a circular domain, that is, an open disk with finitely many closed disjoint disks removed. Denote by H ^∞(Ω) the Banach algebra of all bounded holomorphic functions on Ω, with pointwise operations and the supremum norm. We show that the topological stable rank of H ^∞(Ω) is equal to 2. The proof is based on Suárez’s theorem that the topological stable rank of H ^∞( $ \mathbb{D} $ ) is equal to 2, where $ \mathbb{D} $ is the unit disk. We also show that for circular domains symmetric to the real axis, the Bass and topological stable ranks of the real-symmetric algebra H _? ^∞ (Ω) are 2.     

Cluster values of analytic functions on a Banach space

We investigate uniform algebras of bounded analytic functions on the unit ball of a complex Banach space. We prove several cluster value theorems, relating cluster sets of a function to its range on the fibers of the spectrum of the algebra. These lead to weak versions of the corona theorem for ? ₂ and for c ₀. In the case of the open unit ball of c ₀, we solve the corona problem whenever all but one of the functions comprising the corona data are uniformly approximable by polynomials in functions in ${c_0^*}$ .     

Extreme points of the closed convex hull of composition operators

We study the extreme points of the closed convex hull of the set of all composition operators on the space of bounded analytic functions and the disk algebra.     

The socle of a nondegenerate Lie algebra

We define the socle of a nondegenerate Lie algebra as the sum of all its minimal inner ideals. The socle turns out to be an ideal which is a direct sum of simple ideals, and satisfies the descending chain condition on principal inner ideals. Every classical finite dimensional Lie algebra coincides with its socle, while relevant examples of infinite dimensional Lie algebras with nonzero socle are the simple finitary Lie algebras and the classical Banach Lie algebras of compact operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. This notion of socle for Lie algebras is compatible with the previous ones for associative algebras and Jordan systems. We conclude with a structure theorem for simple nondegenerate Lie algebras containing abelian minimal inner ideals, and as a consequence we obtain that a simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is finitary if and only if it is nondegenerate and contains a rank-one element.     

Brauer-Thrall Type Theorems for Derived Module Categories

The numerical invariants (global) cohomological length, (global) cohomological width, and (global) cohomological range of a complex (an algebra) are introduced. Cohomological range leads to the concepts of derived bounded algebra and strongly derived unbounded algebra naturally. The first and second Brauer-Thrall type theorems for the bounded derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field are obtained. The first Brauer-Thrall type theorem says that derived bounded algebras are just derived finite algebras. The second Brauer-Thrall type theorem says that an algebra is either derived discrete or strongly derived unbounded, but not both. Moreover, piecewise hereditary algebras and derived discrete algebras are characterized as the algebras of finite global cohomological width and the algebras of finite global cohomological length respectively.     

Generators of matrix algebras in dimension 2 and 3

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and consider a set of 2×2 or 3×3 matrices. Using a theorem of Shemesh, we give conditions for when the matrices in the set generate the full matrix algebra.     

Structure groups and holonomy in infinite dimensions

We give a theorem of reduction of the structure group of a principal bundle P with regular structure group G. Then, when G is in the classes of regular Lie groups defined by T. Robart in [Can. J. Math. 49 (4) (1997) 820-839], we define the closed holonomy group of a connection as the minimal closed Lie subgroup of G for which the previous theorem of reduction can be applied. We also prove an infinite dimensional version of the Ambrose-Singer theorem: the Lie algebra of the holonomy group is spanned by the curvature elements.
