Maps preserving a certain product of operators

Let $$\mathcal {A}$$ be a standard operator algebra on a Banach space $$\mathcal {X}$$ with $$ \dim \mathcal {X}\ge 3$$. In this paper, we determine the form of the bijective maps $$\phi :\mathcal {A}\longrightarrow \mathcal {A}$$ satisfying $$\begin{aligned} \phi \left( \frac{1}{2}(AB^2+B^2A)\right) = \frac{1}{2}[\phi (A)\phi (B)^{2}+\phi (B)^{2}\phi (A)], \end{aligned}$$for every $$A,B \in \mathcal {A}$$.     

New results on the peak algebra

The peak algebra is a unital subalgebra of the symmetric group algebra, linearly spanned by sums of permutations with a common set of peaks. By exploiting the combinatorics of sparse subsets of [n−1] (and of certain classes of compositions of n called almost-odd and thin), we construct three new linear bases of . We discuss two peak analogs of the first Eulerian idempotent and construct a basis of semi-idempotent elements for the peak algebra. We use these bases to describe the Jacobson radical of and to characterize the elements of in terms of the canonical action of the symmetric groups on the tensor algebra of a vector space. We define a chain of ideals of , j = 0,..., , such that is the linear span of sums of permutations with a common set of interior peaks and is the peak algebra. We extend the above results to , generalizing results of Schocker (the case j = 0). Aguiar supported in part by NSF grant DMS-0302423 Orellana supported in part by the Wilson Foundation     

Allometry constants of finite-dimensional spaces: theory and computations

We describe the computations of some intrinsic constants associated to an n-dimensional normed space , namely the N-th “allometry” constants

Sufficient conditions for local equivalence of mappings

Let $$f,g:({\mathbb {R}}^n,0)\rightarrow ({\mathbb {R}}^m,0)$$ be $$C^{r+1}$$ mappings and let $$Z=\{x\in \mathbf {\mathbb {R}}^n:\nu (df (x))=0\}$$ , $$0\in Z$$ , $$m\le n$$ . We will show that if there exist a neighbourhood U of $$0\in {\mathbb {R}}^n$$ and constants $$C,C'>0$$ and $$k>1$$ such that for $$x\in U$$ $$\begin{aligned}&\nu (df(x))\ge C{\text {dist}}(x,Z)^{k-1}, \\&\left| \partial ^{s} (f_i-g_i)(x) \right| \le C'\nu (df(x))^{r+k-|s|}, \end{aligned}$$ for any $$i\in \{1,\dots , m\}$$ and for any $$s \in \mathbf {\mathbb {N}}^n_0$$ such that $$|s|\le r$$ , then there exists a $$C^r$$ diffeomorphism $$\varphi :({\mathbb {R}}^n,0)\rightarrow ({\mathbb {R}}^n,0)$$ such that $$f=g\circ \varphi $$ in a neighbourhood of $$0\in {\mathbb {R}}^n$$ . By $$\nu (df)$$ we denote the Rabier function.     

Spectral Shorted Operators

If $$\mathcal{H}$$ is a Hilbert space, $$\mathcal{S}$$ is a closed subspace of $$\mathcal{H},$$ and A is a positive bounded linear operator on $$\mathcal{H},$$ the spectral shorted operator $$\rho \left( {\mathcal{S},\mathcal{A}} \right)$$ is defined as the infimum of the sequence $$\sum (\mathcal{S},A^n )^{1/n} ,$$ where denotes $$\sum \left( {\mathcal{S},B} \right)$$ the shorted operator of B to $$\mathcal{S}.$$ We characterize the left spectral resolution of $$\rho \left( {\mathcal{S},\mathcal{A}} \right)$$ and show several properties of this operator, particularly in the case that dim $${\mathcal{S} = 1.}$$ We use these results to generalize the concept of Kolmogorov complexity for the infinite dimensional case and for non invertible operators.     

A Tree-valued Markov Process Associated with an Admissible Family of Branching Mechanisms

Let E?R be an interval. By studying an admissible family of branching mechanisms{ψt,t ∈E} introduced in Li [Ann. Probab., 42, 41-79(2014)], we construct a decreasing Levy-CRT-valued process {Tt, t ∈ E} by pruning Lévy trees accordingly such that for each t ∈E, Tt is a ψt-Lévy tree. We also obtain an analogous process {Tt*,t ∈E} by pruning a critical Levy tree conditioned to be infinite. Under a regular condition on the admissible family of branching mechanisms, we show that the law of {Tt,t ∈E} at the ascension time A := inf{t ∈E;Tt is finite} can be represented by{Tt*,t∈E}.The results generalize those studied in Abraham and Delmas [Ann. Probab., 40, 1167-1211(2012)].

Remarks on Rawnsley’s $$\varvec{\varepsilon }$$ε -function on the Fock–Bargmann–Hartogs domains

In this paper, we mainly study a family of unbounded non-hyperbolic domains in $$\mathbb {C}^{n+m}$$, called Fock–Bargmann–Hartogs domains $$D_{n,m}(\mu )$$ ($$\mu >0$$) which are defined as a Hartogs type domains with the fiber over each $$z\in \mathbb {C}^{n}$$ being a ball of radius $$e^{-\frac{\mu }{2} {\Vert z\Vert }^{2}}$$. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for Rawnsley’s $$\varepsilon $$-function $$\varepsilon _{(\alpha ,g)}(\widetilde{w})$$ of $$\big (D_{n,m}(\mu ), g(\mu ;\nu )\big )$$ to be a polynomial in $$\Vert \widetilde{w}\Vert ^2$$, where $$g(\mu ;\nu )$$ is a Kähler metric associated with the Kähler potential $$\nu \mu {\Vert z\Vert }^{2} -\ln (e^{-\mu {\Vert z\Vert }^{2}}-\Vert w\Vert ^2)$$. Secondly, using above results, we study the Berezin quantization on $$D_{n,m}(\mu )$$ with the metric $$\beta g(\mu ;\nu )$$$$(\beta >0)$$.     

Characterization of distributive semigroup operations on the positive real numbers

Given any cancellative continuous semigroup operation $$\star $$ on the positive real numbers $$\mathbf {R}_+$$ with the ordinary topology, we completely characterize the set $$\mathcal {D}_\star (\mathbf {R}_+)$$ of all cancellative continuous semigroup operations on $$\mathbf {R}_+$$ which are distributed by $$\star $$ in terms of homeomorphism. As a consequence, we show that an arbitrary semigroup operation in $$\mathcal {D}_\star (\mathbf {R}_+)$$ is homeomorphically isomorphic to the ordinary addition $$+$$ on $$\mathbf {R}_+$$.

Entropy solutions of anisotropic elliptic nonlinear obstacle problem with measure data

We prove the existence of an entropy solution for a class of nonlinear anisotropic elliptic unilateral problem associated to the following equation $$\begin{aligned} -\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) -\sum _{i=1}^{N}\partial _{i}\phi _{i}( u)=\mu , \end{aligned}$$where the right hand side $$\mu $$ belongs to $$L^{1}(\Omega )+ W^{-1, \vec {p'}}(\Omega )$$. The operator $$-\sum _{i=1}^{N} \partial _i a_i(x,u, \nabla u) $$ is a Leray–Lions anisotropic operator and $$\phi _{i} \in C^{0}({\mathbb {R}}, {\mathbb {R}})$$.

Generation in singularity categories of hypersurfaces of countable representation type

The Orlov spectrum and Rouquier dimension are invariants of a triangulated category to measure how big the category is, and they have been studied actively. In this paper, we investigate the singularity category $$\textsf {D} _{\textsf {sg} }(R)$$ of a hypersurface R of countable representation type. For a thick subcategory $${\mathcal {T}}$$ of $$\textsf {D} _{\textsf {sg} }(R)$$ and a full subcategory $$\mathcal {X}$$ of $${\mathcal {T}}$$, we calculate the Rouquier dimension of $${\mathcal {T}}$$ with respect to $$\mathcal {X}$$. Furthermore, we prove that the level in $$\textsf {D} _{\textsf {sg} }(R)$$ of the residue field of R with respect to each nonzero object is at most one.     

The depth of a reflexive polytope

Given arbitrary integers d and r with $$d \ge 4$$ and $$1 \le r \le d + 1$$ , a reflexive polytope $${\mathscr {P}}\subset {\mathbb R}^d$$ of dimension d with $$\mathrm{depth}\,K[{\mathscr {P}}] = r$$ for which its dual polytope $${\mathscr {P}}^\vee $$ is normal will be constructed, where $$K[{\mathscr {P}}]$$ is the toric ring of $${\mathscr {P}}$$ .     

The Liouville-type theorem for problems with nonstandard growth derived by Caccioppoli-type estimate

Let u be a nonnegative solution to the PDI $$-\,\mathrm{div} \mathcal {A}(x, u, \nabla u)\geqslant \mathcal {B}(x,u, \nabla u)$$ in $$\Omega $$, where $$\mathcal {A}$$ and $$\mathcal {B}$$ are differential operators with p(x)-type growth. As a consequence of the Caccioppoli-type inequality for the solution u, we obtain the Liouville-type theorem under some integral condition. We simplify the assumptions on functions $$ \mathcal {A}$$ and $$ \mathcal {B}$$, and we do not restrict the range of p(x) by the dimension n, therefore we can cover quite general family of problems.

Fractional Gaussian estimates and holomorphy of semigroups

Let $$\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^N$$ be an arbitrary open set, $$0<s<1$$ and denote by $$(e^{-t(-\Delta )_{{{\mathbb {R}}}^N}^s})_{t\ge 0}$$ the semigroup on $$L^2({{\mathbb {R}}}^N)$$ generated by the fractional Laplace operator. In the first part of the paper, we show that if T is a self-adjoint semigroup on $$L^2(\Omega )$$ satisfying a fractional Gaussian estimate in the sense that $$|T(t)f|\le Me^{-bt(-\Delta )_{{{\mathbb {R}}}^N}^s}|f|$$, $$0\le t \le 1$$, $$f\in L^2(\Omega )$$, for some constants $$M\ge 1$$ and $$b\ge 0$$, then T defines a bounded holomorphic semigroup of angle $$\frac{\pi }{2}$$ that interpolates on $$L^p(\Omega )$$, $$1\le p<\infty $$. Using a duality argument, we prove that the same result also holds on the space of continuous functions. In the second part, we apply the above results to the realization of fractional order operators with the exterior Dirichlet conditions.
