Optimal Domains and Integral Representations of Convolution Operators in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

Given , a compact abelian group G and a function , we identify the maximal (i.e. optimal) domain of the convolution operator (as an operator from L^p(G) to itself). This is the largest Banach function space (with order continuous norm) into which L^p(G) is embedded and to which has a continuous extension, still with values in L^p(G). Of course, the optimal domain depends on p and g. Whereas is compact, this is not always so for the extension of to its optimal domain. Several characterizations of precisely when this is the case are presented.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript>-Algebras of Bergman Type Operators with Piecewise Continuous Coefficients

The C ^*-algebra generated by the n poly-Bergman and m antipoly-Bergman projections and by the operators of multiplication by piecewise continuous functions on the Lebesgue space L ²(Π) over the upper half-plane is studied. Making use of a local principle, limit operators techniques, and the Plamenevsky results on two-dimensional convolution operators with symbols admitting homogeneous discontinuities we reduce the study to simpler C ^*-algebras associated with points and pairs . Applying a symbol calculus for the abstract unital C ^*-algebras generated by N orthogonal projections sum of which equals the unit and by M = n + m one-dimensional orthogonal projections and using relations for the Gauss hypergeometric function, we study local algebras at points being the discontinuity points of coefficients. A symbol calculus for the C ^*-algebra is constructed and a Fredholm criterion for the operators is obtained.

For a probability measure μ on a subset of , the lower and upper L^q-dimensions of order are defined by We study the typical behaviour (in the sense of Baire’s category) of the L^q-dimensions and . We prove that a typical measure μ is as irregular as possible: for all q ≥ 1, the lower L^q-dimension attains the smallest possible value and the upper L^q-dimension attains the largest possible value.     

On the <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-conjecture for locally compact groups

Let G be a locally compact group. For 1 < p < ∞, it is well-known that f * g exists and belongs to L^p(G) for all f, g L^p (G) if and only if G is compact. Here, for 2 < p < ∞, we show that f * g exists for all f, g L^p(G) if and only if G is compact. We also show that this result does not remain true for 1 < p ≤ 2. Received: 23 April 2006     

The Dual Spaces of Sets of Difference Sequences of Order <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis> and Matrix Transformations

Let p = （pk）k=0^∞ be a bounded sequence of positive reals, m C N and u be s sequence of nonzero terms. If x = （xk）k=0^∞ is any sequence of complex numbers we write Δ（m）x for the sequence of the m th order differences of x and Δu^（m）X = {x=（x）k=0^∞ uΔ（m）x ∈ X} for any set X of sequences. We determine the α-, β- and γ-duals of the sets Δμ^（m）X for X=co（p）,c（p）,l∞（p） and characterize some matrix transformations between these spaces Δ^（m）X.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Besselian Frames in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of q-Besselian frame and （p, σ）-near Riesz basis in a Banach space, where a is a finite subset of positive integers and 1/p＋1/q = 1 with p 〉 1, q 〉 1, and determine the relations among q-frame, p-Riesz basis, q-Besselian frame and （p, σ）-near Riesz basis in a Banach space. We also give some sufficient and necessary conditions on a q-Besselian frame for a Banach space. In particular, we prove reconstruction formulas for Banach spaces X and X^＊ that if {xn}n=1^∞ C X is a q-Besselian frame for X, then there exists a p-Besselian frame {y＆＊}n=1^∞ belong to X^＊ for X^＊ such that x = ∑n=1^∞ yn^＊（x）xn for all x ∈ X, and x^＊ =∑n=1^∞ x^＊（xn）yn^＊ for all x^＊ ∈ X^＊. Lastly, we consider the stability of a q-Besselian frame for the Banach space X under perturbation. Some results of J. R. Holub, P. G. Casazza, O. Christensen and others in Hilbert spaces are extended to Banach spaces.     

On the cogeneration of <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-structures

Let C be a set of objects in a triangulated compactly generated category We denote by the smallest suspended subcategory closed under coproducts which contains C (the smallest cosuspended subcategory closed under products which contains C). We prove that if C is a set of compacts objects then is a t-structure in where T_C I is the dual of C with respect to an injective cogenerator I in the category Mod C. Moreover, we show that: C is a tilting set if and only if And, this is equivalent to T_CI is a cotilting object in Received: 28 March 2003

Higher-Rank Conformal Fields in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sp</Emphasis>(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>)-Symmetric Generalized Space-Time

We study various Sp(2M)-invariant field equations corresponding to rank-r tensor products of the Fock (singleton) representation of Sp(2M). These equations describe localization on “branes” of different dimensions embedded in the generalized space-time with matrix (i.e., “central charge”) coordinates. We consider the case of a bilinear tensor product in detail and show that the conserved currents built from bilinears of rank-1 fields in satisfy the field equations for rank-2 fields in . We also show that rank-2 fields in are equivalent to rank-1 fields in . __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 145, No. 1, pp. 35–65, October, 2005.     

Approximately Linear Mappings in Banach Modules over a C^＊-algebra

Let X and Y be vector spaces. The authors show that a mapping f ： X →Y satisfies the functional equation 2d f（∑^2d j=1（-1）^j＋1xj/2d）=∑^2dj=1（-1）^j＋1f（xj） with f（0） = 0 if and only if the mapping f ： X→ Y is Cauchy additive, and prove the stability of the functional equation （≠） in Banach modules over a unital C^＊-algebra, and in Poisson Banach modules over a unital Poisson C＊-algebra. Let A and B be unital C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊- algebras. As an application, the authors show that every almost homomorphism h ： A →B of A into is a homomorphism when h（（2d-1）^nuy） =- h（（2d-1）^nu）h（y） or h（（2d-1）^nuoy） = h（（2d-1）^nu）oh（y） for all unitaries u ∈A, all y ∈ A, n = 0, 1, 2,.... Moreover, the authors prove the stability of homomorphisms in C^＊-algebras, Poisson C^＊-algebras or Poisson JC^＊-algebras.     

Approximation by K-finite functions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> spaces

Let Γ ⊂ ℝⁿ, n ≥ 2, be the boundary of a bounded domain. We prove that the translates by elements of Γ of functions which transform according to a fixed irreducible representation of the orthogonal group form a dense class in L ^p (ℝⁿ) for . A similar problem for noncompact symmetric spaces of rank one is also considered. We also study the connection of the above problem with the injectivity sets for weighted spherical mean operators.
