Berezin kernels and analysis on Makarevich spaces

Following ideas of van Dijk and Hille we study the link which exists between maximal degenerate representations and Berezin kernels.We consider the conformal group Conf(V) of a simple real Jordan algebra V. The maximal degenerate representations π_s (s ε ℂ) we shall study are induced by a character of a maximal parabolic subgroup P¯ of Conf(V). These representations π_s can be realized on a space I_s of smooth functions on V. There is an invariant bilinear form ℬ_s on the space Is. The problem we consider is to diagonalize this bilinear form ℬ_s, with respect to the action of a symmetric subgroup G of the conformal group Conf(V). This bilinear form can be written as an integral involving the Berezin kernel B_v an invariant kernel on the Riemannian symmetric space G/K, which is a Makarevich symmetric space in the sense of Bertram. Then we can use results by van Dijk and Pevzner who computed the spherical Fourier transform of B_v. From these, one deduces that the Berezin kernel satisfies a remarkable Bernstein identity: D(_ν)B_ν=b(ν)B_ν+1, where D(_ν) is an invariant differential operator on G/K and b(ν) is a polynomial. By using this identity we compute a Hua type integral which gives the normalizing factor for an intertwining operator from I_−s to I_s. Furthermore, we obtain the diagonalization of the invariant bilinear form with respect to the action of the maximal compact group U of the conformal group Conf(V).     

On the Berezin Symbol

We discuss some questions related to the Berezin symbols of bounded linear operators on Hilbert function spaces. Bibliography: 14 titles.     

On the range of the Berezin transform

We study the range of the Berezin transform B. More precisely, we characterize all triples (f,g,u) where f and g are non-constant holomorphic functions on the unit disc D in the complex plane and u is integrable on D such that . It turns out that there are very ‘few’ such triples. This problem arose in the study of Bergman space Toeplitz operators and its solution has application to the theory of such operators.     

Berezin kernels and maximal degenerate representations associated with Riemannian symmetric spaces of Hermitian type

We introduce the Berezin kernels for Riemannian symmetric spaces of Hermitian type by restricting the maximal degenerate representations of the corresponding noncompactly causal Lie groups.

On some problems related to Berezin symbols

The following problem was formulated by Zorboska [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131 (2003) 793–800]: It is not known if the Berezin symbols of a bounded operator on the Bergman space $L_a^2(\mathbf{D})$ must have radial limits almost everywhere on the unit circle. In this Note we solve this problem in the negative, showing that there is a concrete class of diagonal operators for which the Berezin symbol does not have radial boundary values anywhere on the unit circle. A similar result is also obtained in case of the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbf{D})$ over the unit disk D. Moreover, we give an alternative proof to the famous theorem of Beurling on z-invariant subspaces in the Hardy space $H^2(\mathbf{D})$, using the concepts of reproducing kernels and Berezin symbols.

On Ozawa kernels

We write explicitly Ozawa kernels for group extensions, for discrete metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, of large enough Hilbert space compression, and for suitable actions of countable groups on metric spaces. We also obtain an alternative proof of stability results concerning Yu's property A.     

On Berezin Number Inequalities for Operator Matrices

In this article, we refine certain earlier existing bounds for Berezin number of operator matrices. We also prove some new Berezin number inequalities for general n × n operator matrices.Further, we establish several upper bounds for Berezin number and generalized Euclidean Berezin number for off-diagonal operator matrices. Finally, some interesting examples are discussed.     

Weighted Berezin transform in the polydisc

For c>−1, let νc denote a weighted radial measure on C normalized so that νc(D)=1. If f is harmonic and integrable with respect to νc over the open unit disc D, then for every ψ∈Aut(D). Equivalently f is invariant under the weighted Berezin transform; Bcf=f. Conversely, does the invariance under the weighted Berezin transform imply the harmonicity of a function? In this paper, we prove that for any 1?p<∞ and c₁,c₂>−1, a function f∈Lp(D²,νc₁×νc₂) which is invariant under the weighted Berezin transform; Bc₁,c₂f=f needs not be 2-harmonic.     

On kernels in perfect graphs

A kernel of a digraphD is a set of vertices which is both independent and absorbant. In 1983, C. Berge and P. Duchet conjectured that an undirected graphG is perfect if and only if the following condition is fulfilled: ifD is an orientation ofG (where pairs of opposite arcs are allowed) and if every clique ofD has a kernel thenD has a kernel. We prove here the conjecture for the complements of strongly perfect graphs and establish that a minimal counterexample to the conjecture is not a complete join of an independent set with another graph.     

On oscillating kernels in the Besov space

In this paper we consider a convolution operator Tf=p.v. Ω * f with Ω(x)=K(x)×e^iλh(x), λ>0, where K(x) is a weak Calderón-Zygmund kernel and h(x) is a real-valued differentiable function. We give a boundedness criterion for such an operator to map the Besov space B ₁ ^0.1 (Rⁿ) into itself. This research was partially supported by NNSF and NEC in P. R. China.     

On the sum of two subnormal kernels

We show, by means of a class of examples, that if $K_1$ and $K_2$ are two positive definite kernels on the unit disc such that the multiplication by the coordinate function on the corresponding reproducing kernel Hilbert space is subnormal, then the multiplication operator on the Hilbert space determined by their sum $K_1+K_2$ need not be subnormal. This settles a recent conjecture of Gregory T. Adams, Nathan S. Feldman and Paul J. McGuire in the negative. We also discuss some cases for which the answer is affirmative.

On contraction properties of Markov kernels

 We study Lipschitz contraction properties of general Markov kernels seen as operators on spaces of probability measures equipped with entropy-like ``distances'. Universal quantitative bounds on the associated ergodic constants are deduced from Dobrushin's ergodic coefficient. Strong contraction properties in Orlicz spaces for relative densities are proved under more restrictive mixing assumptions. We also describe contraction bounds in the entropy sense around arbitrary probability measures by introducing a suitable Dirichlet form and the corresponding modified logarithmic Sobolev constants. The interest in these bounds is illustrated on the example of inhomogeneous Gaussian chains. In particular, the existence of an invariant measure is not required in general.

On the kernels of some higher derivations in polynomial rings

Let A=R[x₁,…,x_n] be the polynomial ring in n variables over an integral domain R with unit, let D be a rational higher R-derivation on A and let be the extension of D to the quotient field of A. We prove that, if the transcendental degree of the kernel of D over R is not less than n−1, then the quotient field of the kernel of D equals the kernel of . Moreover, when n=2, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an R-subalgebra of A to be expressed as the kernel of a rational higher R-derivation on A.     

On kernels by monochromatic paths in the corona of digraphs

In this paper we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of kernels by monochromatic paths in the corona of digraphs. Using these results, we are able to prove the main result of this paper which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the corona of digraphs to be monochromatic kernel-perfect. Moreover we calculate the total numbers of kernels by monochromatic paths, independent by monochromatic paths sets and dominating by monochromatic paths sets in this digraphs product.
