Optimal Lp-Lq-estimates for parabolic boundary value problems with inhomogeneous data

In this paper we investigate vector-valued parabolic initial boundary value problems , subject to general boundary conditions in domains G in with compact C ^2m -boundary. The top-order coefficients of are assumed to be continuous. We characterize optimal L ^p -L ^q -regularity for the solution of such problems in terms of the data. We also prove that the normal ellipticity condition on and the Lopatinskii–Shapiro condition on are necessary for these L ^p -L ^q -estimates. As a byproduct of the techniques being introduced we obtain new trace and extension results for Sobolev spaces of mixed order and a characterization of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces by boundary data.      

An extension of Takahashi theorem for the linearized operators of the higher order mean curvatures

We study hypersurfaces in Euclidean space whose position vector x satisfies the condition L _k x = Ax + b, where L _k is the linearized operator of the (k + 1)th mean curvature of the hypersurface for a fixed , is a constant matrix and is a constant vector. For every k, we prove that the only hypersurfaces satisfying that condition are hypersurfaces with zero (k + 1)th mean curvature and open pieces of round hyperspheres and generalized right spherical cylinders of the form , with . This extends a previous classification for hypersurfaces in satisfying , where is the Laplacian operator of the hypersurface, given independently by Hasanis and Vlachos [J. Austral. Math. Soc. Ser.

Pointwise convergence for semigroups in vector-valued <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

Suppose that {T _t  : t  ≥  0} is a symmetric diffusion semigroup on L ²(X) and denote by its tensor product extension to the Bochner space , where belongs to a certain broad class of UMD spaces. We prove a vector-valued version of the Hopf–Dunford–Schwartz ergodic theorem and show that this extends to a maximal theorem for analytic continuations of on . As an application, we show that such continuations exhibit pointwise convergence.     

The $${\overline{\partial}}$$-equation on homogeneous varieties with an isolated singularity

Let X be a regular irreducible variety in , Y the associated homogeneous variety in , and N the restriction of the universal bundle of to X. In the present paper, we compute the obstructions to solving the -equation in the L ^p -sense on Y for 1 ≤  p ≤  ∞ in terms of cohomology groups . That allows to identify obstructions explicitly if X is specified more precisely, for example if it is equivalent to or an elliptic curve.      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>-Minimal submanifolds in space forms

Let be an n-dimensional compact, possibly with boundary, submanifold in an (n + p)-dimensional space form R ^n+p (c). Assume that r is even and , in this paper we introduce rth mean curvature function S _r and (r + 1)-th mean curvature vector field . We call M to be an r-minimal submanifold if on M, we note that the concept of 0-minimal submanifold is the concept of minimal submanifold. In this paper, we define a functional of , by calculation of the first variational formula of J _r we show that x is a critical point of J _r if and only if x is r-minimal. Besides, we give many examples of r-minimal submanifolds in space forms. We calculate the second variational formula of J _r and prove that there exists no compact without boundary stable r-minimal submanifold with in the unit sphere S ^n+p . When r = 0, noting S ₀ = 1, our result reduces to Simons’ result: there exists no compact without boundary stable minimal submanifold in the unit sphere S ^n+p .

A priori bounds and a Liouville theorem on a half-space for higher-order elliptic Dirichlet problems

We consider the 2m-th order elliptic boundary value problem Lu = f (x, u) on a bounded smooth domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions on ∂Ω. The operator L is a uniformly elliptic operator of order 2m given by . For the nonlinearity we assume that , where are positive functions and q > 1 if N ≤ 2m, if N > 2m. We prove a priori bounds, i.e, we show that for every solution u, where C > 0 is a constant. The solutions are allowed to be sign-changing. The proof is done by a blow-up argument which relies on the following new Liouville-type theorem on a half-space: if u is a classical, bounded, non-negative solution of ( − Δ) ^m u  =  u ^q in with Dirichlet boundary conditions on and q > 1 if N ≤ 2m, if N > 2m then .      

An Extension of the Admissibility-Type Conditions for the Exponential Dichotomy of C 0-Semigroups

In the present paper we obtain a sufficient condition for the exponential dichotomy of a strongly continuous, one-parameter semigroup , in terms of the admissibility of the pair . It is already known the equivalence between the -admissibility condition and and the hyperbolicity of a C ₀-semigroup , when we assume a priori that the kernel of the dichotomic projector (denoted here by X ₂) is T(t)-invariant and is an invertible operator. We succeed to prove in this paper that the admissibility of the pair still implies the existence of an exponential dichotomy for a C ₀-semigroup even in the general case where the kernel of the dichotomic projector, X ₂, is not assumed to be T(t)-invariant.

In this paper, we prove that if a sequence of homeomorphisms , with bounded planar domains, of Sobolev space has uniformly equibounded distortions in EXP(Ω) and weakly converges to f in then the matrices A(x, f _j ) of the corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operators Γ-converge in the Orlicz–Sobolev space , where Q(t) = t ²log(e + t), to the matrix A(x, f) of the Laplace-Beltrami operator associated to f.      

The Stokes operator in weighted Lq-spaces II: weighted resolvent estimates and maximal Lp-regularity

In this paper we establish a general weighted L ^q -theory of the Stokes operator in the whole space, the half space and a bounded domain for general Muckenhoupt weights . We show weighted L ^q -estimates for the Stokes resolvent system in bounded domains for general Muckenhoupt weights. These weighted resolvent estimates imply not only that the Stokes operator generates a bounded analytic semigroup but even yield the maximal L ^p -regularity of in the respective weighted L ^q -spaces for arbitrary Muckenhoupt weights . This conclusion is archived by combining a recent characterisation of maximal L ^p -regularity by -bounded families due to Weis [Operator-valued Fourier multiplier theorems and maximal L _p -regularity. Preprint (1999)] with the fact that for L ^q -spaces -boundedness is implied by weighted estimates.

Triebel-Lizorkin Spaces of Para-Accretive Type and a Tb Theorem

Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the boundedness of paraproduct operators. From this, we show that a generalized singular integral operator T with M _b TM _b ∈WBP is bounded from to if and only if and T ^* b=0 for , where ε is the regularity exponent of the kernel of T.

Weak Riemannian manifolds from finite index subfactors

Let N ⊂ M be a finite Jones’ index inclusion of II₁ factors and denote by U _N ⊂ U _M their unitary groups. In this article, we study the homogeneous space U _M /U _N , which is a (infinite dimensional) differentiable manifold, diffeomorphic to the orbit of the Jones projection of the inclusion. We endow with a Riemannian metric, by means of the trace on each tangent space. These are pre-Hilbert spaces (the tangent spaces are not complete); therefore, is a weak Riemannian manifold. We show that enjoys certain properties similar to classic Hilbert–Riemann manifolds. Among them are metric completeness of the geodesic distance, uniqueness of geodesics of the Levi-Civita connection as minimal curves, and partial results on the existence of minimal geodesics. For instance, around each point p ₁ of , there is a ball (of uniform radius r) of the usual norm of M, such that any point p ₂ in the ball is joined to p ₁ by a unique geodesic, which is shorter than any other piecewise smooth curve lying inside this ball. We also give an intrinsic (algebraic) characterization of the directions of degeneracy of the submanifold inclusion , where the last set denotes the Grassmann manifold of the von Neumann algebra generated by M and .
