Carleson measures, multipliers and integration operators for spaces of Dirichlet type

For 0<p<∞ and α>−1, we let denote the space of those functions f which are analytic in the unit disc and satisfy . In this paper we characterize the positive Borel measures μ in D such that , 0<p<q<∞. We also characterize the pointwise multipliers from to (0<p<q<∞) if p−2<α<p. In particular, we prove that if the only pointwise multiplier from to (0<p<q<∞) is the trivial one. This is not longer true for and we give a number of explicit examples of functions which are multipliers from to for this range of values.     

Comodules and Landweber exact homology theories

We show that, if E is a commutative MU-algebra spectrum such that is Landweber exact over , then the category of -comodules is equivalent to a localization of the category of -comodules. This localization depends only on the heights of E at the integer primes p. It follows, for example, that the category of -comodules is equivalent to the category of -comodules. These equivalences give simple proofs and generalizations of the Miller-Ravenel and Morava change of rings theorems. We also deduce structural results about the category of -comodules. We prove that every -comodule has a primitive, we give a classification of invariant prime ideals in , and we give a version of the Landweber filtration theorem.     

Analysis of a system of fractional differential equations

We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for the initial value problem for the system of fractional differential equations , where D^α denotes standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, 0<α<1, and A is a square matrix. The unique solution to this initial value problem turns out to be , where E_α denotes the Mittag-Leffler function generalized for matrix arguments. Further we analyze the system , , 0<α<1, and investigate dependence of the solutions on the initial conditions.     

A new majorization between functions, polynomials, and operator inequalities

Let P₊ be the set of all non-negative operator monotone functions defined on [0,∞), and put . Then and . For a function and a strictly increasing function h we write if is operator monotone. If and and if and , then . We will apply this result to polynomials and operator inequalities. Let and be non-increasing sequences, and put for t≧a₁ and for t≧b₁. Then v₊?u₊ if m≦n and : in particular, for a sequence of orthonormal polynomials, (p_n-1)₊?(p_n)₊. Suppose 0<r,p and s=0 or 1≦s≦1+p/r. Then 0≦A≦B implies for 0<α≦r/(p+r).     

Kolmogorov and linear widths of weighted Besov classes

We study the Kolmogorov m-widths and the linear m-widths of the weighted Besov classes on [−1,1], where Lq,μ, 1?q?∞, denotes the Lq space on [−1,1] with respect to the measure , μ>0. Optimal asymptotic orders of and as m→∞ are obtained for all 1?p,τ?∞. It turns out that in many cases, the orders of are significantly smaller than the corresponding orders of the best m-term approximation by ultraspherical polynomials, which is somewhat surprising.     

Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .     

Estimate of the L-Fourier transform norm on nilpotent Lie groups

Let 1<p?2 and q be such that . It is well known that the norm of the L^p-Fourier transform of the additive group is , where . For a nilpotent Lie group G, we obtain the estimate , where m is the maximal dimension of the coadjoint orbits. Such a result was known only for some particular cases.     

Quartic residues and binary quadratic forms

Let be a prime, m∈Z and . In this paper we obtain a general criterion for m to be a quartic residue in terms of appropriate binary quadratic forms. Let d>1 be a squarefree integer such that , where is the Legendre symbol, and let ε_d be the fundamental unit of the quadratic field . Since 1942 many mathematicians tried to characterize those primes p so that ε_d is a quadratic or quartic residue . In this paper we will completely solve these open problems by determining the value of , where p is an odd prime, and . As an application we also obtain a general criterion for , where {u_n(a,b)} is the Lucas sequence defined by and .     

Equivariant chain complexes, twisted homology and relative minimality of arrangements

We show that the π-equivariant chain complex (), , associated to a Morse-theoretic minimal CW-structure X on the complement of an arrangement , is independent of X. The same holds for all scalar extensions, , a field, where X is an arbitrary minimal CW-structure on a space M. When is a section of another arrangement , we show that the divisibility properties of the first Betti number of the Milnor fiber of  obstruct the homotopy realization of  as a subcomplex of a minimal structure on .If is aspherical and is a sufficiently generic section of , then may be described in terms of π, L and , for an arbitrary local system L; explicit computations may be done, when is fiber-type. In this case, explicit -presentations of arbitrary abelian scalar extensions of the first non-trivial higher homotopy group of , π_p(M), may also be obtained. For nonresonant abelian scalar extensions, the -rank of is combinatorially determined.     

Rank determines semi-stable conductor

Suppose that E₁ and E₂ are elliptic curves over the rational field, , such that for all quadratic fields . We prove that their conductors N(E₁), and N(E₂) are equal up to squares. If for all quadratic fields , then the same conclusion holds, provided the 2-parts of their Tate-Shafarevich groups are finite.
