Fractional integrals of periodic functions of several variables

In this paper it has been systematically studied the imbedding properties of fractional integral operators of periodic functions of several variables, and isomorphic properties of fractional integral operators in the spaces of Lipschitz continuous functions. It has also been proved that the space of fractional integration, the space of Lipschitz continuous functions and the Sobolev space are identical in L²-norm. Results obtained here are not true for fractional integrals (or Riesz potentials) in ℝ ⁿ . Supported by NNSFC     

Fractional integration associated with second order divergence operators on R<Superscript>n</Superscript>

The classical Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev theorems for Riesz potentials (−Δ)^−α/2 are extended to the generalised fractional integrals L ^–α/2 for 0 < α < n, where L=−div A∇ is a uniformly complex elliptic operator with bounded measurable coefficients in ℝⁿ.     

Fractional integrals and weakly singular integral equations of the first kind in then-dimensional ball

The purpose of the paper is to introduce and to investigate a new class of fractional integrals connected with balls in ?ⁿ. A Riesz potentialI _Ω ^α ρ over a ball Ω is represented by a composition of such integrals. Using this representation we obtain necessary and sufficient solvability conditions for the equationI _Ω ^α ρ =f in the space L_p(Ωw) with a power weight w(x) and solve the equation in a closed form. The investigation is based on a special Fourier analysis adopted for operators commuting with rotations and dilations in ?ⁿ.     

Riesz potentials and integral geometry in the space of rectangular matrices

Riesz potentials on the space of rectangular n×m matrices arise in diverse “higher rank” problems of harmonic analysis, representation theory, and integral geometry. In the rank-one case m=1 they coincide with the classical operators of Marcel Riesz. We develop new tools and obtain a number of new results for Riesz potentials of functions of matrix argument. The main topics are the Fourier transform technique, representation of Riesz potentials by convolutions with a positive measure supported by submanifolds of matrices of rank<m, the behavior on smooth and L^p functions. The results are applied to investigation of Radon transforms on the space of real rectangular matrices.     

Weighted Sobolev theorem with variable exponent for spatial and spherical potential operators

We prove Sobolev-type p(⋅)→q(⋅)-theorems for the Riesz potential operator Iα in the weighted Lebesgue generalized spaces Lp(⋅)(Rn,ρ) with the variable exponent p(x) and a two-parametrical power weight fixed to an arbitrary finite point and to infinity, as well as similar theorems for a spherical analogue of the Riesz potential operator in the corresponding weighted spaces Lp(⋅)(Sn,ρ) on the unit sphere Sn in Rn+1.     

Weighted Sobolev theorem with variable exponent for spatial and spherical potential operators, II

In [S.G. Samko, B.G. Vakulov, Weighted Sobolev theorem with variable exponent for spatial and spherical potential operators, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 310 (2005) 229-246], Sobolev-type p(⋅)→q(⋅)-theorems were proved for the Riesz potential operator Iα in the weighted Lebesgue generalized spaces Lp(⋅)(Rn,ρ) with the variable exponent p(x) and a two-parameter power weight fixed to an arbitrary finite point x₀ and to infinity, under an additional condition relating the weight exponents at x₀ and at infinity. We show in this note that those theorems are valid without this additional condition. Similar theorems for a spherical analogue of the Riesz potential operator in the corresponding weighted spaces Lp(⋅)(Sn,ρ) on the unit sphere Sn in Rn+1 are also improved in the same way.     

Applications des processus de Dirichlet aux temps locaux et temps locaux d'intersection d'un mouvement Brownien

Résumé On montre qu'une large classe d'intégrales associées au mouvement Brownien dans ^d appartient localement à l'espace des processus de Dirichlet faibles. Les transformées de Riesz, les potentiles de Riesz et les puissances fractionnaires du Laplacien des temps locaux d'intersection Browniens sont étudiés. On déduit de nouveaux théorèmes limites pour certaines intégrales doubles dans lesquelles intervient le mouvement Brownien.

Strong capacity-estimates for “fractional” norms

It is proved that for all fractionall the integral \(\int\limits_0^\infty {(p,\ell ) - cap(M_t )} dt^p\) is majorized by the P-th power norm of the functionu in the space ? _p ^l (Rⁿ) (here M_t={x∶¦u(x)¦?t} and (p,l)-cap(e) is the (p,l)-capacity of the compactum e?Rⁿ). Similar results are obtained for the spaces W _p ^l (Rⁿ) and the spaces of M. Riesz and Bessel potentials. One considers consequences regarding imbedding theorems of “fractional” spaces in ?_q(dμ), whereμ is a nonnegative measure in Rⁿ. One considers specially the case p=1.     

A Fractional Muckenhoupt–Wheeden Theorem and its Consequences

In the 1970s Muckenhoupt and Wheeden made several conjectures relating two weight norm inequalities for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator to such inequalities for singular integrals. Using techniques developed for the recent proof of the A ₂ conjecture we prove a related pair of conjectures linking the Riesz potential and the fractional maximal operator. As a consequence we are able to prove a number of sharp one and two weight norm inequalities for the Riesz potential.     

Riesz potentials for Korteweg-de Vries solitons

Riesz potentials (also called Riesz fractional derivatives) are defined as fractional powers of Laplacian. They are traditionally used for studying existence and uniqueness for equations of the Korteweg-de Vries type (KdV-type henceforth). Zero mean properties are established for Riesz potentials of solutions of KdV-type equations, D_x^au(x,t), for a ? (0,3/2){D_{x}^{\alpha}u(x,t),\, {\rm for}\, \alpha\in(0,3/2)}. As an important example Riesz fractional derivatives and their Hilbert transforms are computed for the well-known soliton solution of KdV. Obtained representations involve the Hurwitz Zeta function. Zero mean properties are established and asymptotic expansions are derived. A particular case of the obtained formula provides an algebraic soliton solution for extended KdV.     

Characterization of radon integrals as linear functionals

The problem of characterization of integrals as linear functionals is considered in this paper. It has its origin in the well-known result of F. Riesz (1909) on integral representation of bounded linear functionals by Riemann?CStieltjes integrals on a segment and is directly connected with the famous theorem of J. Radon (1913) on integral representation of bounded linear functionals by Lebesgue integrals on a compact in ? ⁿ . After the works of J. Radon, M. Fréchet, and F. Hausdorff, the problem of characterization of integrals as linear functionals has been concretized as the problem of extension of Radon??s theorem from ? ⁿ to more general topological spaces with Radon measures. This problem turned out to be difficult, and its solution has a long and abundant history. Therefore, it may be naturally called the Riesz?CRadon?CFréchet problem of characterization of integrals. The important stages of its solution are connected with such eminent mathematicians as S. Banach (1937?C38), S. Saks (1937?C38), S. Kakutani (1941), P. Halmos (1950), E. Hewitt (1952), R. E. Edwards (1953), Yu. V. Prokhorov (1956), N. Bourbaki (1969), H. K¨onig (1995), V. K. Zakharov and A. V. Mikhalev (1997), et al. Essential ideas and technical tools were worked out by A. D. Alexandrov (1940?C43), M. N. Stone (1948?C49), D. H. Fremlin (1974), et al. The article is devoted to the modern stage of solving this problem connected with the works of the authors (1997?C2009). The solution of the problem is presented in the form of the parametric theorems on characterization of integrals. These theorems immediately imply characterization theorems of the above-mentioned authors.     

Riesz External Field Problems on the Hypersphere and Optimal Point Separation

We consider the minimal energy problem on the unit sphere ?? ^d in the Euclidean space ? ^d+1 in the presence of an external field Q, where the energy arises from the Riesz potential 1/r ^s (where r is the Euclidean distance and s is the Riesz parameter) or the logarithmic potential log(1/r). Characterization theorems of Frostman-type for the associated extremal measure, previously obtained by the last two authors, are extended to the range d ? 2 ≤ s < d ? 1. The proof uses a maximum principle for measures supported on ?? ^d . When Q is the Riesz s-potential of a signed measure and d ? 2 ≤ s < d, our results lead to explicit point-separation estimates for (Q,s)-Fekete points, which are n-point configurations minimizing the Riesz s-energy on ?? ^d with external field Q. In the hyper-singular case s > d, the short-range pair-interaction enforces well-separation even in the presence of more general external fields. As a further application, we determine the extremal and signed equilibria when the external field is due to a negative point charge outside a positively charged isolated sphere. Moreover, we provide a rigorous analysis of the three point external field problem and numerical results for the four point problem.     

Riesz Potentials and Liouville Operators on Fractals

An analogue to the theory of Riesz potentials and Liouville operators in R ⁿ for arbitrary fractal d-sets is developed. Corresponding function spaces agree with traces of Euclidean Besov spaces on fractals. By means of associated quadratic forms we construct strongly continuous semigroups with Liouville operators as infinitesimal generator. The case of Dirichlet forms is discussed separately. As an example of related pseudodifferential equations the fractional heat-type equation is solved.     

Description of the Space of Riesz Potentials of Functions in a Grand Lebesgue Space on ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

The Riesz potentials L^af, 0 < α < ∞, are considered in the framework of a grand Lebesgue space L_a^p),θ, 1 < p < ∞, θ > 0, on Rn with grandizers a ∈ L¹(?ⁿ), which are understood in the case α ≥ n/p in terms of distributions on test functions in the Lizorkin space. The images under I^α of functions in a subspace of the grand space which satisfy the so-called vanishing condition is studied. Under certain assumptions on the grandizer, this image is described in terms of the convergence of truncated hypersingular integrals of order α in this subspace.     

Classes of weights related to Schrödinger operators

In this work we obtain boundedness on weighted Lebesgue spaces on Rd of the semi-group maximal function, Riesz transforms, fractional integrals and g-function associated to the Schrödinger operator −Δ+V, where V satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality with exponent greater than d/2. We consider new classes of weights that locally behave as Muckenhoupt's weights and actually include them. The notion of locality is defined by means of the critical radius function of the potential V given in Shen (1995) [8].

Three-dimensional Lie group actions on compact (4n+3)-dimensional geometric manifolds

The (4n+3)-dimensional sphere S⁴ⁿ⁺³ can be viewed as the boundary of the quaternionic hyperbolic space and the group PSp(n+1,1) of quaternionic hyperbolic isometries extends to a real analytic transitive action on S⁴ⁿ⁺³. We call the pair (PSp(n+1,1),S⁴ⁿ⁺³) a spherical Q C-C geometry. A manifold M locally modelled on this geometry is said to be a spherical Q C-C manifold. We shall classify all pairs (G,M) where G is a three-dimensional connected Lie group which acts smoothly and almost freely on a compact spherical Q C-C manifold M, preserving the geometric structure. As an application, we shall determine all compact 3-pseudo-Sasakian manifolds admitting spherical Q C-C structures.     

Riesz extremal measures on the sphere for axis-supported external fields

We investigate the minimal Riesz s-energy problem for positive measures on the d-dimensional unit sphere Sd in the presence of an external field induced by a point charge, and more generally by a line charge. The model interaction is that of Riesz potentials |x−y|^−s with d−2?s<d. For a given axis-supported external field, the support and the density of the corresponding extremal measure on Sd is determined. The special case s=d−2 yields interesting phenomena, which we investigate in detail. A weak^∗ asymptotic analysis is provided as s→⁺(d−2).     

Pointwise and integral estimates for the B-Riesz potential in terms of B-maximal and B-fractional maximal functions

We study the maximal and fractional maximal functions and Riesz potentials that are generated by the generalized shift operator associated with the Laplace-Bessel operator. We obtain some pointwise and integral estimates that give a relation between the B-maximal and B-fractional maximal functions and B-Riesz potentials and extend the available results to the objects of a more general nature. Basing on these results, we prove interpolation theorems for the B-fractional maximal functions and B-Riesz potentials.
