The asymptotic behavior of the spectral function for elliptic operators in an unbounded region

We consider elliptic self-adjoint differential operators L of order 2m in a bounded region D? R_n. An asymptotic formula for the function N(λ) = \(N(\lambda ) = \sum\limits_{\lambda _n< \lambda } 1 \) the number of eigenvalues of the operator L less than A. is proved: $$N(\lambda ) = M_0 \lambda ^{n/2m} + o(\lambda ^{n/2m} )$$ whereλ → + ∞ and M₀ is the following constant: $$M_0 = \frac{{V_D }}{{(2\pi )^n \Gamma (1 + n/2m)}}\int_{R_n } {e^{ - L(s)} ds} .$$

Estimates in Beurling-Helson type theorems: Multidimensional case

We consider the spaces A _p ( $\mathbb{T}^m $ ) of functions f on the m-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^m $ such that the sequence of Fourier coefficients $\hat f = \{ \hat f(k),k \in \mathbb{Z}^m \} $ belongs to l ^p (? ^m ), 1 ≤ p < 2. The norm on A _p ( $\mathbb{T}^m $ ) is defined by $\left\| f \right\|_{A_p (\mathbb{T}^m )} = \left\| {\hat f} \right\|_{l^p (\mathbb{Z}^m )} $ . We study the rate of growth of the norms $\left\| {e^{i\lambda \phi } } \right\|_{A_p (\mathbb{T}^m )} $ as |λ| → ∞, λ ∈ ?, for C ¹-smooth real functions φ on $\mathbb{T}^m $ (the one-dimensional case was investigated by the author earlier). The lower estimates that we obtain have direct analogs for the spaces A _p (? ^m ).     

A functional model associated with a generalized Nevanlinna pair

Let $ \mathcal{L} $ be a Hilbert space, and let $ \mathcal{H} $ be a Pontryagin space. For every self-adjoint linear relation $ \tilde{A} $ in $ \mathcal{H} \oplus \mathcal{L} $ , the pair $ \{ I + \lambda \psi (\lambda ),\,\psi (\lambda )\} $ where $ \psi (\lambda ) $ is the compressed resolvent of $ \tilde{A} $ , is a normalized generalized Nevanlinna pair. Conversely, every normalized generalized Nevanlinna pair is shown to be associated with some self-adjoint linear relation $ \tilde{A} $ in the above sense. A functional model for this selfadjoint linear relation $ \tilde{A} $ is constructed.     

Unramified forcing preserving the law of double negation

Shoenfield's unramified version of Cohen's forcing is defined in two stages: one which does not preserve double negation and the other which modifies the former so as to preserve double negation. Here we express the unramified forcing, which preserves double negation, in a single stage. Surprisingly enough, the corresponding definition of forcing for equality acquires a rather simple form. In [2] forcing ∥- is expressed in terms of strong forcing \( \Vdash * \) viap∥-Q iffp \( \Vdash * \) ¬ ¬Q for every formulaQ ofZF set theory and every elementp of a partially ordered set (P, ≦). In its turn,p \( \Vdash * \) Q is defined by the following five clauses: (1) $$p \Vdash * a \in biff(\exists c)(\exists q \geqq p)((c,q) \in b \wedge p \Vdash * a = c)$$ (2) $$\begin{gathered} p \Vdash * a \ne biff(\exists c)(\exists q \geqq p)(((c,q) \in a \wedge p \Vdash * c \notin b) \hfill \\ ((c,q) \in b \wedge p \Vdash * c \notin a)) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ (3) $$p \Vdash * \neg Qiff(\forall q)(q \leqq p \to \neg (q \Vdash * Q))$$ (4) $$p \Vdash * (Q \vee S)iff(p \Vdash * Q) \vee (p \Vdash * S)$$ (5) $$p \Vdash * (\exists x)Q(x)iff(\exists b)(p \Vdash * Q(b))$$ .     

Differentiation and the Balian-Low Theorem

The Balian-Low theorem (BLT) is a key result in time-frequency analysis, originally stated by Balian and, independently, by Low, as: If a Gabor system $\{e^{2\pi imbt} \, g(t-na)\}_{m,n \in \mbox{\bf Z}}$ with $ab=1$ forms an orthonormal basis for $L^2({\bf R}),$ then $\left(\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t \, g(t)|^2 \, dt\right) \, \left(\int_{-\infty}^\infty |\gamma \, \hat g(\gamma)|^2 \, d\gamma\right) = +\infty.$ The BLT was later extended from orthonormal bases to exact frames. This paper presents a tutorial on Gabor systems, the BLT, and related topics, such as the Zak transform and Wilson bases. Because of the fact that $(g')^{\wedge}(\gamma) = 2 \pi i \gamma \, \hat g(\gamma)$ , the role of differentiation in the proof of the BLT is examined carefully. The major new contributions of this paper are the construction of a complete Gabor system of the form $\{e^{2\pi ib_mt\} \, g(t-a_n)}$ such that $\{(a_n,b_m)\}$ has density strictly less than 1, an Amalgam BLT that provides distinct restrictions on Gabor systems $\{e^{2\pi imbt} \, g(t-na)\}$ that form exact frames, and a new proof of the BLT for exact frames that does not require differentiation and relies only on classical real variable methods from harmonic analysis.     

A generalized min–max theorem for functionals of strongly indefinite sign

We consider non-linear Schrödinger equations of the following type: $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\Delta u(x) + V(x)u(x)-q(x)|u(x)|^\sigma u(x) = \lambda u(x), \quad x\in \mathbb{R }^N \\ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R }^N)\setminus \{0\}, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ where $N\ge 1$ and $\sigma >0$ . We will concentrate on the case where both $V$ and $q$ are periodic, and we will analyse what happens for different values of $\lambda $ inside a spectral gap $]\lambda ^-,\lambda ^+[$ . We derive both the existence of multiple orbits of solutions and the bifurcation of solutions when $\lambda \nearrow \lambda ^+$ . Thereby we use the corresponding energy function ${I_\lambda }$ and we derive a new variational characterization of multiple critical levels for such functionals: in this way we get multiple orbits of solutions. One main advantage of our new view on some specific critical values $c_0(\lambda )\le c_1(\lambda )\le \cdots \le c_n(\lambda )\le \cdots $ is a multiplicity result telling us something about the number of critical points with energies below $c_n(\lambda )$ , even if for example two of these values $c_i(\lambda )$ and $c_j(\lambda )$ ( $0\le i<j\le n$ ) coincide. Let us close this summary by mentioning another main advantage of our variational characterization of critical levels: we present our result in an abstract setting that is suitable for other problems and we give some hints about such problems (like the case corresponding to a Coulomb potential $V$ ) at the end of the present paper.

Behaviour at infinity of solutions of some linear functional equations in normed spaces

Let \({\mathbb{K} \in \{\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}\}, I = (d, \infty), \phi : I \to I}\) be unbounded continuous and increasing, X be a normed space over \({\mathbb{K}, \mathcal{F} : = \{f \in X^I : {\rm lim}_{t \to \infty} f(t) {\rm exists} \, {\rm in} X\},\hat{a} \in \mathbb{K}, \mathcal{A}(\hat{a}) : = \{\alpha \in \mathbb{K}^I : {\rm lim}_{t \to \infty} \alpha(t) = \hat{a}\},}\) and \({\mathcal{X} : = \{x \in X^I : {\rm lim} \, {\rm sup}_{t \to \infty} \|x(t)\| < \infty\}}\) . We prove that the limit lim _{t → ∞} x(t) exists for every \({f \in \mathcal{F}, \alpha \in \mathcal{A}(\hat{a})}\) and every solution \({x \in \mathcal{X}}\) of the functional equation $$x(\phi(t)) = \alpha(t) x(t) + f(t)$$ if and only if \({|\hat{a}| \neq 1}\) . Using this result we study behaviour of bounded at infinity solutions of the functional equation $$x(\phi^{[k]}(t)) = \sum_{j=0}^{k-1} \alpha_j(t) x (\phi^{[j]}(t)) + f(t),$$ under some conditions posed on functions \({\alpha_j(t), j = 0, 1,\ldots, k - 1,\phi}\) and f.     

A smooth global branch of solutions for a semilinear elliptic equation on {\mathbb{R}^N}

The existence of a global branch of positive spherically symmetric solutions ${\{(\lambda,u(\lambda)):\lambda\in(0,\infty)\}}$ of the semilinear elliptic equation $$\Delta u - \lambda u + V(x)|u|^{p-1}u = 0 \quad \text{in}\,\mathbb{R}^N\,\text{with}\,N\geq3$$ is proved for ${1 < p < 1+\frac{4-2b}{N-2}}$ , where ${b\in(0,2)}$ is such that the radial function V vanishes at infinity like |x|^?b . V is allowed to be singular at the origin but not worse than |x|^?b . The mapping ${\lambda\mapsto u(\lambda)}$ is of class ${C^r((0,\infty),H^1(\mathbb{R}^N))}$ if ${V\in C^r(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\{0\},\mathbb{R})}$ , for r = 0, 1. Further properties of regularity and decay at infinity of solutions are also established. This work is a natural continuation of previous results by Stuart and the author, concerning the existence of a local branch of solutions of the same equation for values of the bifurcation parameter λ in a right neighbourhood of λ = 0. The variational structure of the equation is deeply exploited and the global continuation is obtained via an implicit function theorem.     

Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms of genus n

Let F(Z) be a cusp form of integral weight k relative to the Siegel modular group Sp_n(Z) and let f(N) be its Fourier coefficient with index N. Making use of Rankin's convolution, one proves the estimate (1) $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2} - \tfrac{1}{2}\delta (n)} ),$$ where $$\delta (n) = \frac{{n + 1}}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {2n + \tfrac{{1 + ( - 1)^n }}{2}} \right) + 1}}.$$ Previously, for n ≥ 2 one has known Raghavan's estimate $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2}} )$$ In the case n=2, Kitaoka has obtained a result, sharper than (1), namely: (2) $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2} - \tfrac{1}{4} + \varepsilon } ).$$ At the end of the paper one investigates specially the case n=2. It is shown that in some cases the result (2) can be improved to, apparently, unimprovable estimates if one assumes some analogues of the Petersson conjecture. These results lead to a conjecture regarding the optimal estimates of f(N), n=2.     

Bochner–Riesz Means with Respect to a Generalized Cylinder

We study the L ^p boundedness of the generalized Bochner–Riesz means S ^λ which are defined as $$S^{\lambda}f(x) = \mathcal{F}^{-1} \left[\left(1 - \rho \right)_{+}^{\lambda} \widehat{f} \right](x)$$ where ${\rho(\xi) = {\rm max}\{|\xi_{1}|, \ldots, |\xi_{\ell}|\}}$ for ${\xi = (\xi_{1},\ldots, \xi_{\ell}) \in \mathbb{R}^{{d}_{1}} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{R}^{{d}_{\ell}}}$ and ${\mathcal{F}^{-1}}$ is the inverse Fourier transform.     

Noncommutative Multivariable Operator Theory

In this paper, we study noncommutative domains ${\mathbb{D}_f^\varphi(\mathcal{H}) \subset B(\mathcal{H})^n}$ generated by positive regular free holomorphic functions f and certain classes of n-tuples ${\varphi = (\varphi_1, \ldots, \varphi_n)}$ of formal power series in noncommutative indeterminates Z ₁, . . . , Z _n . Noncommutative Poisson transforms are employed to show that each abstract domain ${\mathbb{D}_f^\varphi}$ has a universal model consisting of multiplication operators (M _Z1, . . . , M _{Z n} ) acting on a Hilbert space of formal power series. We provide a Beurling type characterization of all joint invariant subspaces under M _Z1, . . . , M _{Z n} and show that all pure n-tuples of operators in ${\mathbb{D}_f^\varphi(\mathcal{H})}$ are compressions of ${M_{Z_1} \otimes I, \ldots, M_{Z_n} \otimes I}$ to their coinvariant subspaces. We show that the eigenvectors of ${M_{Z_1}^*, \ldots, M_{Z_n}^*}$ are precisely the noncommutative Poisson kernels ${\Gamma_\lambda}$ associated with the elements ${\lambda}$ of the scalar domain ${\mathbb{D}_{f,<}^\varphi(\mathbb{C}) \subset \mathbb{C}^n}$ . These are used to solve the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem for the noncommutative Hardy algebra ${H^\infty(\mathbb{D}_f^\varphi)}$ . We introduce the characteristic function of an n-tuple ${T=(T_1, \ldots , T_n) \in \mathbb{D}_f^\varphi(\mathcal{H})}$ , present a model for pure n-tuples of operators in the noncommutative domain ${\mathbb{D}_f^\varphi(\mathcal{H})}$ in terms of characteristic functions, and show that the characteristic function is a complete unitary invariant for pure n-tuples of operators in ${\mathbb{D}_f^\varphi(\mathcal{H})}$ .     

Convergence of the eigenvalues of the p-Laplace operator as p goes to 1

Let $(\lambda ^k_p)_k$ be the usual sequence of min-max eigenvalues for the $p$ -Laplace operator with $p\in (1,\infty )$ and let $(\lambda ^k_1)_k$ be the corresponding sequence of eigenvalues of the 1-Laplace operator. For bounded $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R }^n$ with Lipschitz boundary the convergence $\lambda ^k_p\rightarrow \lambda ^k_1$ as $p\rightarrow 1$ is shown for all $k\in \mathbb{N }$ . The proof uses an approximation of $BV(\Omega )$ -functions by $C_0^\infty (\Omega )$ -functions in the sense of strict convergence on $\mathbb{R }^n$ .     

On Some Holomorphic Cohomological Equations

Let Σ be a non compact Riemann surface and ${\gamma :\Sigma \longrightarrow \Sigma}$ an automorphism acting freely and properly such that the quotient M = Σ/γ is a non compact Riemann surface. Using the fact that Σ and M are Stein manifolds, we prove that, for any holomorphic function ${g : \Sigma \longrightarrow {\mathbb C}}$ and any ${\lambda \in {\mathbb C}}$ , there exists a holomorphic function ${f:\Sigma \longrightarrow {\mathbb C}}$ which is a solution of the holomorphic cohomological equation ${f \circ \gamma - \lambda f = g}$ .     

Eventual uniform asymptotic stability for stochastic differential equation based on semimartingale with spatial parameter

Given a stochastic differential equation based on semimartingale with spatial parameter (1) $$\varphi _t = x_0 + \int_{t_0 }^t {F(\varphi _s ,ds) } on t \geqslant t_0 $$ and it perturbed system (2) $$\psi _t = x_0 + \int_{t_0 }^t {F\left( {\psi \alpha _s , ds} \right)} + \int_{t_0 }^t {G\left( {\psi _s , ds} \right)} on t \geqslant t_0 $$ In this paper we give some sufficient conditions under which the eventual uniform asymptotic stability of Eq. (1) is shared by Eq. (2).     

Existence of a solution of a difference scheme for one variational problem

The problem of minimizing the functional (A) $${}_a\smallint ^b \varphi (x,y,y',y'')dx$$ under the conditions (B) $$y(a) = a_0 ,y'(a) = a_1 ,y(b) = b_0 ,y'(b) = b_1$$ is replaced by the problem of finding the vector (y₁,y₂,...,y_n?1) on which the sum (C) $$\sum\limits_{\kappa = 0}^n {C_\kappa \varphi (x_\kappa ,y_\kappa ,\left. {\frac{{y_{\kappa + 1} - y_\kappa }}{h},\frac{{y_{\kappa + 1} - 2y_\kappa + y_{\kappa + 1} )}}{{h^2 }}} \right)}$$ takes a minimal value. Under certain conditions on ? andC _k it is proved that a solution exists for the difference scheme constructed. The method of differentiation with respect to a parameter is used for the proof.     

Classical limit of the tensor product of holomorphic discrete series representations

For three coadjoint orbits \(\mathcal {O}_1, \mathcal {O}_2\) and \(\mathcal {O}_3\) in \(\mathfrak {g}^*\) , the Corwin–Greenleaf function \(n(\mathcal {O}_1 \times \mathcal {O}_2, \mathcal {O}_3)\) is given by the number of \(G\) -orbits in \(\{(\lambda , \mu ) \in \mathcal {O}_1 \times \mathcal {O}_2 \, : \, \lambda + \mu \in \mathcal {O}_3 \}\) under the diagonal action. In the case where \(G\) is a simple Lie group of Hermitian type, we give an explicit formula of \(n(\mathcal {O}_1 \times \mathcal {O}_2, \mathcal {O}_3)\) for coadjoint orbits \(\mathcal {O}_1\) and \(\mathcal {O}_2\) that meet \(\left( [\mathfrak {k}, \mathfrak {k}] + \mathfrak {p}\right) ^{\perp }\) , and show that the formula is regarded as the ‘classical limit’ of a special case of Kobayashi’s multiplicity-free theorem (Progr. Math. 2007) in the branching law to symmetric pairs.     

The Laguerre inequalities with applications to a problem associated with the Riemann hypothesis

We investigate here a new numerical method, base on the Laguerre inequalities, for determining lower bounds for the de Bruijn-Newman constant ∧, which is related to the Riemann Hypothesis. (Specifically, the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis would imply that ∧≦0.) Unlike previous methods which involved either finding nonreal zeros of associated Jensen polynomials or finding nonreal zeros of a certain real entire function, this new method depends only on evaluating, in real arithmetic, the Laguerre difference $$L_1 (H_\lambda (x))\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\text{.}} \\ {\text{.}} \\ \end{array} = (H'_\lambda (x))^2 - H_\lambda (x) \cdot H''_{_\lambda } (x){\text{ (}}x,{\text{ }}\lambda \in \mathbb{R}{\text{)}}$$ where \((H_\lambda (z)\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\text{.}} \\ {\text{.}} \\ \end{array} = \int_0^\infty {e^{\lambda t^2 } \Phi (t)}\) cos(tz)dt is a real entire function. We apply this method to obtain the new lower bound for ∧, -0.0991 < ∧ which improves all previously published lower bounds for ∧.
