Bounded Toeplitz products on the weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball

Let p>1 and let q denote the number such that (1/p)+(1/q)=1. We give a necessary condition for the product of Toeplitz operators to be bounded on the weighted Bergman space of the unit ball (α>−1), where and , as well as a sufficient condition for to be bounded on . We use techniques different from those in [K. Stroethoff, D. Zheng, Bounded Toeplitz products on Bergman spaces of the unit ball, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 325 (2007) 114-129], in which the case p=2 was proved.     

Harmonicity of unit vector fields with respect to Riemannian g-natural metrics

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold and T₁M its unit tangent sphere bundle. Unit vector fields defining harmonic maps from (M,g) to , being the Sasaki metric on T₁M, have been extensively studied. The Sasaki metric, and other well known Riemannian metrics on T₁M, are particular examples of g-natural metrics. We equip T₁M with an arbitrary Riemannian g-natural metric , and investigate the harmonicity of a unit vector field V of M, thought as a map from (M,g) to . We then apply this study to characterize unit Killing vector fields and to investigate harmonicity properties of the Reeb vector field of a contact metric manifold.

Sub-Bergman Hilbert spaces in the unit disk, II

For a finite Blaschke product B let T_B denote the analytic multiplication operator (also called a Toeplitz operator) on the Bergman space of the unit disk. We show that the defect operators and both map the Bergman space to the Hardy space and the Hardy space to the Dirichlet space.     

On a combination method of VDR and patchwork for generating uniform random points on a unit sphere

In this paper, we use a combination of VDR theory and patchwork method to derive an efficient algorithm for generating uniform random points on a unit d-sphere. We first propose an algorithm to generate random vector with uniform distribution on a unit 2-sphere on the plane. Then we use VDR theory to reduce random vector X_d with uniform distribution on a unit d-sphere into , such that the random vector (X_d-1,X_d) is uniformly distributed on a unit 2-sphere and X_d-2 has conditional uniform distribution on a (d-2)-sphere of radius , given V=v with V having the p.d.f. . Finally, we arrive by induction at an algorithm for generating uniform random points on a unit d-sphere.     

Hadamard products with power functions and multipliers of Hardy spaces

We consider Hadamard products of power functions P(z)=(1−z)^−b with functions analytic in the open unit disk in the complex plane, and an integral representation is obtained when 0<Reb<2. Let where μ is a complex-valued measure on the closed unit disk Such sequences are shown to be multipliers of H^p for 1?p?∞. Moreover, if the support of μ is contained in a finite set of Stolz angles with vertices on the unit circle, we prove that {μ_n} is a multiplier of H^p for every p>0. When the support of μ is [0,1] we get the multiplier sequence which provides more concrete applications. We show that if the sequences {μ_n} and {ν_n} are related by an asymptotic expansion

     

The Dirichlet Markov Ensemble

We equip the polytope of n×n Markov matrices with the normalized trace of the Lebesgue measure of Rⁿ². This probability space provides random Markov matrices, with i.i.d. rows following the Dirichlet distribution of mean (1/n,…,1/n). We show that if is such a random matrix, then the empirical distribution built from the singular values of tends as n→∞ to a Wigner quarter-circle distribution. Some computer simulations reveal striking asymptotic spectral properties of such random matrices, still waiting for a rigorous mathematical analysis. In particular, we believe that with probability one, the empirical distribution of the complex spectrum of tends as n→∞ to the uniform distribution on the unit disc of the complex plane, and that moreover, the spectral gap of is of order when n is large.

The generalized Libera transform is bounded on the Besov mixed-norm, BMOA and VMOA spaces on the unit disc

The main results of this note prove that the generalized Libera operator is bounded on the Besov mixed-norm space as well as on the spaces BMOA and VMOA on the unit disk. The compactness of the operator on is also studied.     

Weakly open sets in the unit ball of the projective tensor product of Banach spaces

A Banach space is said to have the diameter two property if every non-empty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter two. We prove that the projective tensor product of two Banach spaces whose centralizer is infinite-dimensional has the diameter two property. The same statement also holds for if the centralizer of X is infinite-dimensional and the unit sphere of Y^? contains an element of numerical index one. We provide examples of classical Banach spaces satisfying the assumptions of the results. If K is any infinite compact Hausdorff topological space, then has the diameter two property for any nonzero Banach space Y. We also provide a result on the diameter two property for the injective tensor product.     

Commuting dual Toeplitz operators with pluriharmonic symbols

In this paper we completely characterize commuting dual Toeplitz operators with bounded pluriharmonic symbols on the Bergman space of the unit ball. We show that for φ and ψ pluriharmonic, SφSψ=Sψφ on only in the trivial case. Here the trivial case is φ or holomorphic.     

Presentations of the unit group of an order in a non-split quaternion algebra

We give an algorithm to determine a finite set of generators of the unit group of an order in a non-split classical quaternion algebra over an imaginary quadratic extension K of the rationals. We then apply this method to obtain a presentation for the unit group of . As a consequence a presentation is discovered for the orthogonal group . These results provide the first examples of a characterization of the unit group of some group rings that have an epimorphic image that is an order in a non-commutative division algebra that is not a totally definite quaternion algebra.     

On some classes of p-valent functions involving Carlson-Shaffer operator

Let , be a class of functions analytic in the open unit disc E. We use Carlson-Shaffer operator for p-valent functions to define and study certain classes of analytic functions. Inclusion results, a radius problem and some other interesting properties are discussed.     

Laplace and Segal-Bargmann transforms on Hermitian symmetric spaces and orthogonal polynomials

Let be a complex bounded symmetric domain of tube type in a complex Jordan algebra V and let be its real form in a formally real Euclidean Jordan algebra J⊂V; is a bounded realization of the symmetric cone in J. We consider representations of H that are gotten by the generalized Segal-Bargmann transform from a unitary G-space of holomorphic functions on to an L²-space on . We prove that in the unbounded realization the inverse of the unitary part of the restriction map is actually the Laplace transform. We find the extension to of the spherical functions on and find their expansion in terms of the L-spherical polynomials on , which are Jack symmetric polynomials. We prove that the coefficients are orthogonal polynomials in an L²-space, the measure being the Harish-Chandra Plancherel measure multiplied by the symbol of the Berezin transform. We prove the difference equation and recurrence relation for those polynomials by considering the action of the Lie algebra and the Cayley transform on the polynomials on . Finally, we use the Laplace transform to study generalized Laguerre functions on symmetric cones.
