Characterization of integrals with respect to arbitrary radon measures by the boundedness indices

The problem of characterization of integrals as linear functionals is considered in the paper. It starts from the familiar results of F. Riesz (1909) and J. Radon (1913) on integral representation of bounded linear functionals by Riemann?CStieltjes integrals on a segment and by Lebesgue integrals on a compact in $ {\mathbb{R}^n} $ , respectively. After works of J. Radon, M. Fréchet, and F. Hausdorff the problem of characterization of integrals as linear functionals took the particular form of the problem of extension of Radon??s theorem from $ {\mathbb{R}^n} $ to more general topological spaces with Radon measures. This problem has turned out difficult and its solution has a long and rich history. Therefore, it may be naturally called the Riesz?CRadon?CFréchet problem of characterization of integrals. The important stages of its solution are connected with such mathematicians as S. Banach, S. Saks, S. Kakutani, P. Halmos, E. Hewitt, R. E. Edwards, N. Bourbaki, V. K. Zakharov, A. V. Mikhalev, et al. In this paper, the Riesz?CRadon?CFr??echet problem is solved for the general case of arbitrary Radon measures on Hausdorff spaces. The solution is given in the form of a general parametric theorem in terms of a new notion of the boundedness index of a functional. The theorem implies as particular cases well-known results of the indicated authors characterizing Radon integrals for various classes of Radon measures and topological spaces.     

Relatively compact families of functionals on abstract Wiener space and applications

In this paper we prove two relatively compact criterions in some L^p-spaces(p>1) for the set of functionals on abstract Wiener space in terms of the compact embedding theorems in finite dimensional Sobolev spaces. Then, as applications we study several relatively compact families of random fields for the solutions to SDEs (and SPDEs) with coefficients satisfying some bounded assumptions, some stochastic integrals, and local times of diffusion processes.     

A Generalized Analytic Operator-Valued Function Space Integral and a Related Integral Equation

We introduce a generalized Wiener measure associated with a Gaussian Markov process and define a generalized analytic operator-valued function space integral as a bounded linear operator from L _p into L _p^\prime (1<p ≤ 2) by the analytic continuation of the generalized Wiener integral. We prove the existence of the integral for certain functionals which involve some Borel measures. Also we show that the generalized analytic operator-valued function space integral satisfies an integral equation related to the generalized Schr?dinger equation. The resulting theorems extend the theory of operator-valued function space integrals substantially and previous theorems about these integrals are generalized by our results.

On the representation of tight functionals as integrals

We consider a vector lattice $\mathcal L $ of bounded real continuous functions on a topological space $X$ that separates the points of $X$ and contains the constant functions. A notion of tightness for linear functionals is defined, and by an elementary argument we prove with the aid of the classical Riesz representation theorem that every tight continuous linear functional on $\mathcal L $ can be represented by integration with respect to a Radon measure. This result leads incidentally to an simple proof of Prokhorov’s existence theorem for the limit of a projective system of Radon measures.     

Projectively bounded Fréchet measures

A scalar valued set function on a Cartesian product of -algebras is a Fréchet measure if it is a scalar measure independently in each coordinate. A basic question is considered: is it possible to construct products of Fréchet measures that are analogous to product measures in the classical theory? A Fréchet measure is said to be projectively bounded if it satisfies a Grothendieck type inequality. It is shown that feasibility of products of Fréchet measures is linked to the projective boundedness property. All Fréchet measures in a two dimensional framework are projectively bounded, while there exist Fréchet measures in dimensions greater than two that are projectively unbounded. A basic problem is considered: when is a Fréchet measure projectively bounded? Some characterizations are stated. Applications to harmonic and stochastic analysis are given.

     

Generalized Solutions to Boundary-Value Problems for Quasilinear Elliptic Equations on Noncompact Riemannian Manifolds

In the present work we develop approximation approach to evaluation of solutions to boundary-value problems for quasilinear equations of the elliptic type on arbitrary noncompact Riemannian manifolds. Our technique essentially bases on an approach from the papers of E. A. Mazepa and S. A. Korol’kov connected with introduction of equivalency classes of functions and representations. On the other hand, it generalizes the method of building of generalized solution to the Dirichlet problem for linear elliptic Laplace–Beltrami and Schrödinger equations in bounded domains in ? ⁿ , which is described in details in the works of M. V. Keldysh and E. M. Landis.     

Fractional integrals and weakly singular integral equations of the first kind in then-dimensional ball

The purpose of the paper is to introduce and to investigate a new class of fractional integrals connected with balls in ?ⁿ. A Riesz potentialI _Ω ^α ρ over a ball Ω is represented by a composition of such integrals. Using this representation we obtain necessary and sufficient solvability conditions for the equationI _Ω ^α ρ =f in the space L_p(Ωw) with a power weight w(x) and solve the equation in a closed form. The investigation is based on a special Fourier analysis adopted for operators commuting with rotations and dilations in ?ⁿ.

Fractional integration associated with second order divergence operators on R<Superscript>n</Superscript>

The classical Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theorems for Riesz potentials (−Δ)^−α/2 are extended to the generalised fractional integrals L ^–α/2 for 0 < α < n, where L=−div A∇ is a uniformly complex elliptic operator with bounded measurable coefficients in ℝⁿ.     

The arens closure of a nonassociative algebra

Given a nonassociative algebra A and an Arens pair A₁, A₂, for A, we identify a subalgcbra ? of A₂ with i (A) ? A ? A₂ and show that ? better reflects the algebraic structure ot A, in parti-cular. any multilinear identity satisfied by ? is also satisfied by ? Hence, ? is commutative or Lie when A is and Jordan when A is a Jordan algebra of characteristic not 2 or 3. Also, we list examples (1) where ? = End_D(V) for A a primitive, associative algebra with commuting ring D and irreducible faithful module V,(2) where ? is the norm closure of A in the arens algebra of all bounded functionals of the bounded functionals for a normed algebra A and (3) where ? is the Arens algebra of all bounded functionals of the bounded functionals with A again normed. Note that dif-ferent Arens closures can arise form the same choice of A, A₁, , A₂ since ? is determined by A, A₁, A₂ and subspaces A₃ ? A₂ ^*, A₄,?A₃ ^*.     

Conformal invariants associated with quadratic differentials

We associate a functional of pairs of simply-connected regions D₂ ? D₁ to any quadratic differential on D₁ with specified singularities. This functional is conformally invariant, monotonic, and negative. Equality holds if and only if the inner domain is the outer domain minus trajectories of the quadratic differential. This generalizes the simply-connected case of results of Z. Nehari [20], who developed a general technique for obtaining inequalities for conformal maps and domain functions from contour integrals and the Dirichlet principle for harmonic functions. Nehari’s method corresponds to the special case that the quadratic differential is of the form (?q)² for a singular harmonic function q on D₁.As an application we give a one-parameter family of monotonic, conformally invariant functionals which correspond to growth theorems for bounded univalent functions. These generalize and interpolate the Pick growth theorems, which appear in a conformally invariant form equivalent to a two-point distortion theorem of W. Ma and D. Minda [16].     

Riesz External Field Problems on the Hypersphere and Optimal Point Separation

We consider the minimal energy problem on the unit sphere ?? ^d in the Euclidean space ? ^d+1 in the presence of an external field Q, where the energy arises from the Riesz potential 1/r ^s (where r is the Euclidean distance and s is the Riesz parameter) or the logarithmic potential log(1/r). Characterization theorems of Frostman-type for the associated extremal measure, previously obtained by the last two authors, are extended to the range d ? 2 ≤ s < d ? 1. The proof uses a maximum principle for measures supported on ?? ^d . When Q is the Riesz s-potential of a signed measure and d ? 2 ≤ s < d, our results lead to explicit point-separation estimates for (Q,s)-Fekete points, which are n-point configurations minimizing the Riesz s-energy on ?? ^d with external field Q. In the hyper-singular case s > d, the short-range pair-interaction enforces well-separation even in the presence of more general external fields. As a further application, we determine the extremal and signed equilibria when the external field is due to a negative point charge outside a positively charged isolated sphere. Moreover, we provide a rigorous analysis of the three point external field problem and numerical results for the four point problem.     

Derivations of non-separable C1-algebras

The question of which C¹-algebras have only inner derivations has been considered by a number of authors for 25 years. The separable case is completely solved, so this paper deals only with the non-separable case. In particular, we show that the C¹-tensor product of a von Neumann algebra and an abelian C¹-algebra has only inner derivations. Other special types of C¹-algebras are shown to have only inner derivations as well such as the C¹-tensor product of L(H) (all bounded operators on separable Hilbert space) and any separable C¹-algebra having only inner derivations. Derivations from a smaller C¹-algebra into a larger one are also considered, and this concept is generalized to include derivations between C¹-algebras connected by a ¹-homomorphism. Finally, we consider the general problem of a sequence of linear functionals on a C¹-algebra which converges to zero (in norm) when restricted to any abelian C¹-subalgebra. Does such a sequence converge to zero in norm? The answer is “yes” for normal functionals on L(H), but unknown in general.     

Problemi al contorno con condizioni omogenee per le equazioni quasi-ellittiche

Summary We are concerned with non-variational boundary value problems, with omogeneus boundary conditions, for linear partial differential equations of quasi-elliptic type in a bounded domain Θ in Rⁿ. It is well known that some of difficulties which arise in treating such problems, in comparison with ? regular ? elliptic problems, are connected with the presence of angular points in Θ: let us point out withB. Pini [32] that ? a bounded domain for which it is possible to assign a correct boundary value problem for a quasi-elliptic but not elliptic equation always has angular points ?. We suppose Θ is a cartesian product of a finite number of open sets and, in order to overcome the difficulties attached to the presence of angular points in Θ, taking as a model the two previous papers[33], [34] devoted to elliptic problems with singular data, we investigate the problem within suitable Sobolev weight spaces, connected with the angular points of Θ and included in the ones we have studied in[35]. Within such spaces we get existence and uniqueness theorems.

Plancherel-type estimates and sharp spectral multipliers

We study general spectral multiplier theorems for self-adjoint positive definite operators on L²(X,μ), where X is any open subset of a space of homogeneous type. We show that the sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from the appropriate estimates of the L² norm of the kernel of spectral multipliers and the Gaussian bounds for the corresponding heat kernel. The sharp Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems are motivated and connected with sharp estimates for the critical exponent for the Riesz means summability, which we also study here. We discuss several examples, which include sharp spectral multiplier theorems for a class of scattering operators on R³ and new spectral multiplier theorems for the Laguerre and Hermite expansions.     

Riesz transform on locally symmetric spaces and Riemannian manifolds with a spectral gap

In this paper we study the Riesz transform on complete and connected Riemannian manifolds M with a certain spectral gap in the L² spectrum of the Laplacian. We show that on such manifolds the Riesz transform is Lp bounded for all p∈(1,∞). This generalizes a result by Mandouvalos and Marias and extends a result by Auscher, Coulhon, Duong, and Hofmann to the case where zero is an isolated point of the L² spectrum of the Laplacian.     

On Multifunctionals in the Musielak-Orlicz Spaces of Multifunctions

We introduce the notions of X_d,s(x),φ-linear multifunctional and X_d,s(x),φ-linear continuous multifunctional. We generalize the theorems on linear bounded functionals in the Musielak-Orlicz space.     

Martingale Transforms and Their Projection Operators on Manifolds

We prove the boundedness on L ^p , 1?<?p?<?∞, of operators on manifolds which arise by taking conditional expectation of transformations of stochastic integrals. These operators include various classical operators such as second order Riesz transforms and operators of Laplace transform-type.
