Littlewood–Paley theorem on spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)</Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>)

We point out that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the space L ^p(t)(ℝ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ, then the well-known characterization of the spaces L ^p (ℝ), 1 < p < ∞, by the Littlewood–Paley theory extends to the space L ^p(t)(ℝ). We show that, for n > 1 , the Littlewood–Paley operator is bounded on L ^p(t) (ℝ ⁿ ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ ⁿ , if and only if p(t) = const.

Embedding of non-commutative <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-spaces: <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis> < 1

If (N,t) ({\cal N},\tau) is a finite von Neumann algebra and if (M,n) ({\cal M},\nu) is an infinite von Neumann algebra, then L_p(M,n) L_{p}({\cal M},\nu) does not Banach embed in L_p(N,t) L_{p}({\cal N},\tau) for all p ? (0,1) p\in (0,1) . We also characterize subspaces of $ L_{p}({\cal N},\tau),\ 0< p <1 $ L_{p}({\cal N},\tau),\ 0< p <1 containing a copy of l_p.     

Group invariance and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-bounded operators

The Hilbert and Riesz transforms can be characterized up to scalar as the translation invariant operators that satisfy additionally certain relative invariance of conformal transformation groups. In this article, we initiate a systematic study of translation invariant operators from group theoretic viewpoints, and formalize a geometric condition that characterizes specific multiplier operators uniquely up to scalar by means of relative invariance of affine subgroups. After providing some interesting examples of multiplier operators having “large symmetry”, we classify which of these examples can be extended to continuous operators on L ^p (R ⁿ ) (1 < p < ∞). T.

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>2,<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-circle numbers

Circle numbers are defined to reflect the Euclidean area-content and, for p ≠ 2, suitably defined non-Euclidean circumference properties of the l _2,p -circles, p ∈ [1, ∞]. The resulting function is continuous, increasing, and takes all values from [2, 4]. The actually chosen dual l _2,p -geometry for measuring the arc-length is closely connected with a generalization of the method of indivisibles of Cavalieri and Torricelli in the sense that integrating such arc-lengths means measuring area content. Moreover, this approach enables one to look in a new way into the co-area formula of measure theory which says that integrating Euclidean arc-lengths does not yield area content except for p = 2. The new circle numbers play a natural role, e.g., as norming constants in geometric measure representation formulae for p-generalized uniform probability distributions on l _2,p -circles.     

Generating Random Vectors in (ℤ/<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>ℤ)<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis></Superscript> via an Affine Random Process

This paper considers some random processes of the form X _n+1=T X _n +B _n (mod p) where B _n and X _n are random variables over (ℤ/pℤ) ^d and T is a fixed d×d integer matrix which is invertible over the complex numbers. For a particular distribution for B _n , this paper improves results of Asci to show that if T has no complex eigenvalues of length 1, then for integers p relatively prime to det (T), order (log p)² steps suffice to make X _n close to uniformly distributed where X ₀ is the zero vector. This paper also shows that if T has a complex eigenvalue which is a root of unity, then order p ^b steps are needed for X _n to get close to uniformly distributed for some positive value b≤2 which may depend on T and X ₀ is the zero vector.     

The first <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-cohomology of some groups with one end

Let p be a real number greater than one. In this paper we study the vanishing and nonvanishing of the first L ^p -cohomology space of some groups that have one end. We also make a connection between the first L ^p -cohomolgy space and the Floyd boundary of the Cayley graph of a group. We apply the result about Floyd boundaries to show that there exists a real number p such that the first L ^p -cohomology space of a nonelementary hyperbolic group does not vanish.

On the π-function for nonconvex <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>2,<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-circle discs

For 0 < p < 1, circle numbers π(p) are defined to reflect the Euclidean area-content property A _p(r) = π(p)r ² and circumference property {ie332-01} of the l _2,p -circle discs with p-generalized radius r, where the arc-length measure {ie332-02} is based upon the nonconvex star-shaped set {ie332-03} with p** > 0 satisfying {ie332-04}. The resulting π-function extends the function p → π(p) recently defined in [2] from the case of convex discs, p ⩾ 1, to the nonconvex case 0 < p < 1. This function is continuous, increasing, and takes values in (0, 2). The presented approach can be considered as reflecting a modified method of indivisibles in the sense that the indivisibles are the l _2,p -circles and that integrating their S(p**)-arc-lengths is equivalent to measuring the Euclidean area content.

Let ƒ be a transcendental meromorphic function, a a nonzero finite complex number, and n ⩾ 2 a positive integer. Then ƒ + a(ƒ′) ⁿ assumes every complex value infinitely often.

Optimal <Emphasis Type="Italic">W</Emphasis><Superscript>1,<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> regularity theory for parabolic equations in divergence form

This work treats L^p regularity theory for weak solutions of parabolic equations in divergence form with discontinuous coefficients on nonsmooth domains. We essentially obtain an optimal condition on the coefficients under which the global W^1,p regularity theory holds. This work was supported by SNU foundation in 2005.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis></Subscript>-Cohomology and Normal Solvability

We consider some problems concerning the L _p,q -cohomology of Riemannian manifolds. In the first part, we study the question of the normal solvability of the operator of exterior derivation on a surface of revolution M considered as an unbounded linear operator acting from L_p^k (M) into L^k+1_q (M). In the second part, we prove that the first L _p,q-cohomology of the general Heisenberg group is nontrivial, provided that p < q.

Generalized mirror averaging and <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>-convex aggregation

We study the problem of aggregation of estimators. Given a collection of M different estimators, we construct a new estimator, called aggregate, which is nearly as good as the best linear combination over an l ₁-ball of ℝ^M of the initial estimators. The aggregate is obtained by a particular version of the mirror averaging algorithm. We show that our aggregation procedure statisfies sharp oracle inequalities under general assumptions. Then we apply these results to a new aggregation problem: D-convex aggregation. Finally we implement our procedure in a Gaussian regression model with random design and we prove its optimality in a minimax sense up to a logarithmic factor.      

Semiclassical <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> Estimates

The purpose of this paper is to use semiclassical analysis to unify and generalize L ^p estimates on high energy eigenfunctions and spectral clusters. In our approach these estimates do not depend on ellipticity and order, and apply to operators which are selfadjoint only at the principal level. They are estimates on weakly approximate solutions to semiclassical pseudodifferential equations. Submitted: May 11, 2006. Accepted: September 19, 2006.     

Two sided norm estimate of the Bergman projection on <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

We give some explicit values of the constants C ₁ and C ₂ in the inequality C ₁/sin(π/p) ⩽ |P| _p ⩽ C ₂/sin(π/p) where |P| _p denotes the norm of the Bergman projection on the L ^p space. Partially supported by MNZZS Grant No. ON144010.     

On the Lower Tail Probabilities of Some Random Sequences in <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>

We investigate the behaviour of the logarithmic small deviation probability of a sequence (σ _n θ _n ) in l _p , 0<p≤∞, where (θ _n ) are i.i.d. random variables and (σ _n ) is a decreasing sequence of positive numbers. In particular, the example σ _n ∼n ^−μ (1+log n)^−ν is studied thoroughly. Contrary to the existing results in the literature, the rate function and the small deviation constant are expressed expli- citly in the present treatment. The restrictions on the distribution of θ ₁ are kept to an absolute minimum. In particular, the usual variance assumption is removed. As an example, the results are applied to stable and Gamma-distributed random variables.     

On noncommutative weighted local ergodic theorems on <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-spaces

In the present paper we consider a von Neumann algebra M with a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ, and {α _t }, a strongly continuous extension to L ^p (M, τ) of a semigroup of absolute contractions on L ¹(M, τ). By means of a non-commutative Banach Principle we prove for a Besicovitch function b and x ∊ L ^p (M, τ), that the averages 1/T ∫₀ ^T b(t)α _t (x)dt converge bilateral almost uniformly in L ^p (M, τ) as T → 0.

A note on <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-groups of order ≤ <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis><Superscript>4</Superscript>

In [1], we defined c(G), q(G) and p(G). In this paper we will show that if G is a p-group, where p is an odd prime and |G| ≤ p ⁴, then c(G) = q(G) = p(G). However, the question of whether or not there is a p-group G with strict inequality c(G) = q(G) < p(G) is still open.     

A generalization of Hardy spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> by using atoms

Let X = （X, d,μ） The purpose of this paper is to be a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss. generalize the definition of Hardy space H^P（X） and prove that the generalized Hardy spaces have the same property as H^P（X）. Our definition includes a kind of Hardy- Orlicz spaces and a kind of Hardy spaces with variable exponent. The results are new even for the R^n case. Let （X, δ, μ） be the normalized space of （X, d, μ） in the sense of Macias and Segovia. We also study the relations of our function spaces for （X, d, μ） and （X, δ,μ）.
