On a theorem of Barbara Schmid

Let be a finite group and a complex representation. Barbara Schmid has shown that the algebra of invariant polynomial functions on the vector space is generated by homogeneous polynomials of degree at most , where is the largest degree of a generator in a minimal generating set for , and is the complex regular representation of . In this note we give a new proof of this result, and at the same time extend it to fields whose characteristic is larger than , the order of the group .

     

Periodic hyperfunctions and Fourier series

Every periodic hyperfunction is a bounded hyperfunction and can be represented as an infinite sum of derivatives of bounded continuous periodic functions. Also, Fourier coefficients of periodic hyperfunctions are of infra-exponential growth in , i.e., for every and every . This is a natural generalization of the polynomial growth of the Fourier coefficients of distributions.

To show these we introduce the space of hyperfunctions of growth which generalizes the space of distributions of growth and represent generalized functions as the initial values of smooth solutions of the heat equation.

Finite generation properties for fuchsian group von Neumann algebras tensor

We prove that the algebra , a free group with finitely many generators, contains a subnormal operator such that the linear span of the set is weakly dense in . This is the analogue for the factor , finite, of a well known fact about the unilateral shift on a Hilbert space : the linear span of all the monomials is weakly dense in .

We also show that for a suitable space of square summable analytic functions, if is the projection from the Hilbert space of all square summable functions onto and is the unbounded operator of multiplication by on , then the (unbounded) operator is nonzero (with nonzero domain).

     

Maximal estimates for the -dimensional Walsh-Fourier series

The -dimensional dyadic martingale Hardy spaces are introduced and it is proved that the maximal operator of the means of a Walsh-Fourier series is bounded from to and is of weak type , provided that the supremum in the maximal operator is taken over a positive cone. As a consequence we obtain that the means of a function converge a.e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the means are uniformly bounded on whenever . Thus, in case , the means converge to in norm. The same results are proved for the conjugate means, too.

     

Collapsibility of and some related CW complexes

Let denote the order complex of the partition lattice. The natural -action on the set induces an -action on . We show that the regular CW complex is collapsible. Even more, we show that is collapsible, where is a suitable type selection of the partition lattice. This allows us to generalize and reprove in a conceptual way several previous results regarding the multiplicity of the trivial character in the -representation on .

Statistical extensions of some classical Tauberian theorems

Hardy's well-known Tauberian theorem for Cesàro means says that if the sequence satisfies and , then . In this paper it is shown that the hypothesis can be replaced by the weaker assumption of the statistical limit: st-lim , i.e., for every , . Similarly, the ``one-sided' Tauberian theorem of Landau and Schmidt's Tauberian theorem for the Abel method are extended by replacing and with st-lim and st-lim , respectively. The Hardy-Littlewood Tauberian theorem for Borel summability is also extended by replacing , where is a continuous parameter, with , and further replacing it by -st-lim , where is the Borel matrix method.

We show that if the 's are injective, have non-vanishing Jacobian on , and have zero Lebesgue measure for then the boundary of has measure zero. In addition if the 's are affine maps, then the conclusion can be strengthened to . These improve a result of Lagarias and Wang on self-affine tiles.

Let be a continuous function with and . If is convex, then , , is the characteristic function of an absolutely continuous probability distribution. The criterion complements Pólya's theorem and applies to characteristic functions with various types of behavior at the origin. In particular, it provides upper bounds on Kuttner's function , , which gives the minimal value of such that is a characteristic function. Specifically, . Furthermore, improved lower bounds on Kuttner's function are obtained from an inequality due to Boas and Kac.
