Sobolev type embeddings in the limiting case

We use interpolation methods to prove a new version of the limiting case of the Sobolev embedding theorem, which includes the result of Hansson and Brezis-Wainger for W _n ^k/k as a special case. We deal with generalized Sobolev spaces W _A ^k , where instead of requiring the functions and their derivatives to be in L_n/k, they are required to be in a rearrangement invariant space A which belongs to a certain class of spaces “close” to L_n/k. We also show that the embeddings given by our theorem are optimal, i.e., the target spaces into which the above Sobolev spaces are shown to embed cannot be replaced by smaller rearrangement invariant spaces. This slightly sharpens and generalizes an, earlier optimality result obtained by Hansson with respect to the Riesz potential operator. In memory of Gene Fabes.

Estimates of Disjoint Sequences in Banach Lattices and R.I. Function Spaces

We introduce UDS _p -property (resp. UDT _q -property) in Banach lattices as the property that every normalized disjoint sequence has a subsequence with an upper p-estimate (resp. lower q-estimate). In the case of rearrangement invariant spaces, the relationships with Boyd indices of the space are studied. Some applications of these properties are given to the high order smoothness of Banach lattices, in the sense of the existence of differentiable bump functions     

Operator-valued martingale transforms in rearrangement invariant spaces and applications

In this paper the operator-valued martingale transform inequalities in rearrangement invariant function spaces are proved. Some well-known results are generalized and unified. Applications are given to classical operators such as the maximal operator and the p-variation operator of vector-valued martingales, then we can very easily obtain some new vector-valued martingale inequalities in rearrangement invariant function spaces. These inequalities are closely related to both the geometrical properties of the underlying Banach spaces and the Boyd indices of the rearrangement invariant function spaces. Finally we give an equivalent characterization of UMD Banach lattices, and also prove the Fefferman-Stein theorem in the rearrangement invariant function spaces setting.     

Discrete hilbert transforms and rearrangement invariant sequence spaces

A pair of rearrangement inequalities are obtained for a discrete analogue of the Hilbert transform which lead to necessary and sufficient conditions for certain discrete analogues of the Hilbert transform to be bouonded as linear operators between rearrangement invariant sequence spaces. In particular, if X is a rearrangement invariant space with indices α and β, then 0<β≤α<1 is both necessary and sufficient for these transforms to be bounded from X into itself, which generalizes a well known result of M. Riesz. Applications are made to discerete Hilbert transforms in higher dimensions, in particular, the discrete Riesz transforms are bounded from X into itself if and only if 0<β≤α<1.     

Optimal Interpolating Spaces Preserving Shape

In this paper we study the existence and characterization of spaces which are images of minimal-norm projections that are required to interpolate at given functionals and satisfy additional shape-preserving requirements. We will call such spaces optimal interpolating spaces preserving shape. This investigation leads to concrete solutions in classical settings and, as examples, Π_n will be determined to be such spaces with regard to certain interpolation and shape-preserving requirements on the projections. Restated, the theory of this paper gives rist to an n-dimensional Hahn–Banach extension theorem, where the minimal-norm extension is required to keep invariant a fixed cone.     

Variable Lebesgue norm estimates for BMO functions

In this paper, we are going to characterize the space BMO(? ⁿ ) through variable Lebesgue spaces and Morrey spaces. There have been many attempts to characterize the space BMO(? ⁿ ) by using various function spaces. For example, Ho obtained a characterization of BMO(? ⁿ ) with respect to rearrangement invariant spaces. However, variable Lebesgue spaces and Morrey spaces do not appear in the characterization. One of the reasons is that these spaces are not rearrangement invariant. We also obtain an analogue of the well-known John-Nirenberg inequality which can be seen as an extension to the variable Lebesgue spaces.     

Sharp sobolev embeddings and related hardy inequalities: The critical case

The paper deals with sharp embeddings of the Sobolev spaces H^s_p(IRⁿ) and the Besov spaces B^s_p,p(IRⁿ) into rearrangement—invariant spaces and related Hardy inequalities. Here 1 < p < ∞ and s = n/p.     

Interpolation und indexbedingungen auf rearrangement—invarianten funktionenräumen. I. Grundlagen und die K-methode

In this paper the K-interpolation method of J. Peetre is built up for rearrangement invariant norms ? on (0, ∞). The spaces (X₁, X₂)_θ,?;K (?∞ < θ < ∞), defined by the norm ∥f∥_θ,?;K = ?(t^?θK(t,f)), are shown to be intermediate spaces of the Banach spaces X₁ and X₂ if the condition α < θ ? 1 upon the upper index α of ? is assumed. For these spaces an interpolation theorem of M. Riesz-Thorin-type as well as theorems of reiteration and stability are valid, again under certain conditions upon the indices of ?. These index-conditions, which turn out to be of central importance in the interpolation theory on rearrangement invariant spaces, are shown to be equivalent to a generalized Hardy-Littlewood inequality, which is established in the first part of the paper.     

Rearrangement invariance and relations among measures of smoothness

Relations between ?? ^r (f,t) _B and ?? ^r+1(f,t) _B of the sharp Marchaud and sharp lower estimate-type are shown to be satisfied for some Banach spaces of functions that are not rearrangement invariant. Corresponding results relating the rate of best approximation with ?? ^r (f,t) _B for those spaces are also given.     

Optimal Domains for Kernel Operators via Interpolation

The problem of finding optimal lattice domains for kernel operators with values in rearrangement invariant spaces on the interval [0,1] is considered. The techniques used are based on interpolation theory and integration with respect to C([0, 1])–valued measures.     

Lifting results for rational points on Hurwitz moduli spaces

Hurwitz moduli spaces for G-covers of the projective line have two classical variants whether G-covers are considered modulo the action of PGL₂ on the base or not. A central result of this paper is that, given an integer r ≥ 3 there exists a bound d(r) ≥ 1 depending only on r such that any rational point p ^rd of a reduced (i.e., modulo PGL₂) Hurwitz space can be lifted to a rational point p on the nonreduced Hurwitz space with [κ(p): κ(p ^rd)] ≤ d(r). This result can also be generalized to infinite towers of Hurwitz spaces. Introducing a new Galois invariant for G-covers, which we call the base invariant, we improve this result for G-covers with a nontrivial base invariant. For the sublocus corresponding to such G-covers the bound d(r) can be chosen depending only on the base invariant (no longer on r) and ≤ 6. When r = 4, our method can still be refined to provide effective criteria to lift k-rational points from reduced to nonreduced Hurwitz spaces. This, in particular, leads to a rigidity criterion, a genus 0 method and, what we call an expansion method to realize finite groups as regular Galois groups over ℚ. Some specific examples are given.     

Some estimates in spaces

We consider a class of rearrangement invariant Banach Function Spaces recently appeared in a paper by the same authors, containing at the same time some Lorentz spaces Γ(ν), classical Lebesgue spaces and small Lebesgue spaces. We discuss the main properties coming directly from the norm, and, for certain values of the involved parameters, we prove some estimates of the norm of the associate space.     

Generalized Multiplicative Inequalities for Ideal Spaces

We study the problem of completely describing the domains that enjoy the generalized multiplicative inequalities of the embedding theorem type. We transfer the assertions for the Sobolev spaces L _p ¹() to the function classes that result from the replacement of L _p () with an ideal space of vector-functions. We prove equivalence of the functional and geometric inequalities between the norms of indicators and the capacities of closed subsets of . The most comprehensible results relate to the case of the rearrangement invariant ideal spaces.     

Almost Everywhere Convergent Fourier Series

We study some properties of the logconvex quasi-Banach space QA defined by Arias-de-Reyna and show several applications to convergence of Fourier series. In particular, we describe the Banach envelope of QA and prove that there exists a Lorentz space strictly bigger than the Antonov space in which the almost everywhere convergence of the Fourier series holds. We also give a necessary condition for a Banach rearrangement invariant space X to be contained in QA. As an application, we show that for some classes of Banach spaces there is no the largest Banach space in a given class which is contained in QA.     

On an invariant on isometric immersions into spaces of constant sectional curvature

In the present paper, we give an invariant on isometric immersions into spaces of constant sectional curvature. This invariant is a direct consequence of the Gauss equation and the Codazzi equation of isometric immersions. We apply this invariant on some examples. Further, we apply it to codimension 1 local isometric immersions of 2-step nilpotent Lie groups with arbitrary leftinvariant Riemannian metric into spaces of constant nonpositive sectional curvature. We also consider the more general class, namely, three-dimensional Lie groups G with nontrivial center and with arbitrary left-invariant metric. We show that if the metric of G is not symmetric, then there are no local isometric immersions of G into Q _c ⁴.     

Invariance of a Shift-Invariant Space in Several Variables

In this article we study invariance properties of shift-invariant spaces in higher dimensions. We state and prove several necessary and sufficient conditions for a shift-invariant space to be invariant under a given closed subgroup of \mathbb R^d{\mathbb {R}^d}, and prove the existence of shift-invariant spaces that are exactly invariant for each given subgroup. As an application we relate the extra invariance to the size of support of the Fourier transform of the generators of the shift-invariant space. This work extends recent results obtained for the case of one variable to several variables.     

Locally trivial 𝔾a−actions on ℂ5 with singular algebraic quotients

Simple examples are given of proper algebraic actions of the additive group of complex numbers on ?⁵ whose geometric quotients are, respectively, a?ne, strictly quasia?ne, and algebraic spaces which are not schemes. Moreover, a Zariski locally trivial action is given whose ring of invariant regular functions defines a singular factorial a?ne fourfold embedded in ?¹². The geometric quotient for the action embeds as a strictly quasia?ne variety in the smooth locus of the algebraic quotient with complement isomorphic to the normal a?ne surface with the A₂?singularity at the origin.
