Binormal operator and *-Aluthge transformation

Let T = U｜T｜ be the polar decomposition of a bounded linear operator T on a Hilbert space. The transformation T = ｜T｜^1/2 U｜T｜^1/2 is called the Aluthge transformation and Tn means the n-th Aluthge transformation. Similarly, the transformation T（＊）=｜T＊｜^1/2 U｜T＊｜＆1/2 is called the ＊-Aluthge transformation and Tn^（＊） means the n-th ＊-Aluthge transformation. In this paper, firstly, we show that T（＊） = UV｜T^（＊）｜ is the polar decomposition of T（＊）, where ｜T｜^1/2 ｜T^＊｜^1/2 = V｜｜T｜^1/2 ｜T^＊｜^1/2｜ is the polar decomposition. Secondly, we show that T（＊） = U｜T^（＊）｜ if and only if T is binormal, i.e., [｜T｜, ｜T^＊｜]=0, where [A, B] = AB - BA for any operator A and B. Lastly, we show that Tn^（＊） is binormal for all non-negative integer n if and only if T is centered, and so on.

A Nontrivial Product of Filtration s ＋ 5 in the Stable Homotopy of Spheres

In this paper, some groups Ext A^s.t （Zp, Zp） with specialized s and t are first computed by the May spectrM sequence. Then we make use of the Adams spectral sequence to prove the existence of a new nontrivial family of filtration s＋5 in the stable homotopy groups of spheres πpnq＋（s＋3）pq＋（s＋1）q-5S which is represented （up to a nonzero scalar） by β＋2bohh∈ExtA^s＋5,P^nq＋（n＋3）pq＋（n＋1）q＋s（Zp, Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence, where p ≥ 5 is a prime number, n ≥3, 0≤ s 〈 p - 3, q = 2（p - 1）.     

Transportation to Random Zeroes by the Gradient Flow

We consider the zeroes of the random Gaussian entire function ( , . . . are Gaussian i.i.d. complex random variables) and show that their basins under the gradient flow of the random potential partition the complex plane into domains of equal area. We find three characteristic exponents 1, 8/5, and 4 of this random partition: the probability that the diameter of a particular basin is greater than R is exponentially small in R; the probability that a given point z lies at a distance larger than R from the zero, it is attracted to decays as ; and the probability that, after throwing away 1% of the area of the basin, its diameter is still larger than R decays as . We also introduce a combinatorial procedure that modifies a small portion of each basin in such a way that the probability that the diameter of a particular modified basin is greater than R decays as .

On the Convergence of Products γ^-sh1hn in the Adams Spectral Sequence

Abstract Let A be the mod p Steenrod algebra and S the sphere spectrum localized at p, where p is an odd prime. In 2001 Lin detected a new family in the stable homotopy of spheres which is represented by （b0hn-h1bn-1）∈ ExtA^3,（p^n＋p）q（Zp,Zp） in the Adams spectral sequence. At the same time, he proved that i.（hlhn） ∈ExtA^2,（p^n＋P）q（H^＊M, Zp） is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectral sequence and converges to a nontrivial element ξn∈π（p^n＋p）q-2M. In this paper, with Lin＇s results, we make use of the Adams spectral sequence and the May spectral sequence to detect a new nontrivial family of homotopy elements jj′j^-γsi^-i′ξn in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. The new one is of degree p^nq ＋ sp^2q ＋ spq ＋ （s - 2）q ＋ s - 6 and is represented up to a nonzero scalar by hlhnγ-s in the E2^s＋2,＊-term of the Adams spectral sequence, where p ≥ 7, q = 2（p - 1）, n ≥ 4 and 3 ≤ s 〈 p.

On The Approximability Of The Traveling Salesman Problem

We show that the traveling salesman problem with triangle inequality cannot be approximated with a ratio better than when the edge lengths are allowed to be asymmetric and when the edge lengths are symmetric, unless P=NP. The best previous lower bounds were and respectively. The reduction is from H?stad’s maximum satisfiability of linear equations modulo 2, and is nonconstructive. * Supported in part by NSF ITR Grant CCR-0121555. † Supported by NSF award CCR-0307536 and a Sloan foundation fellowship.     

On the weighted elliptic problems involving multi-singular potentials and multi-critical exponents

Suppose Ω belong to R^N（N≥3） is a smooth bounded domain,ξi∈Ω,0〈ai〈√μ,μ：=（（N-1）/2）^2,0≤μi〈（√μ-ai）^2,ai〈bi〈ai＋1 and pi：=2N/N-2（1＋ai-bi）are the weighted critical Hardy-Sobolev exponents, i = 1, 2,..., k, k ≥ 2. We deal with the conditions that ensure the existence of positive solutions to the multi-singular and multi-critical elliptic problem ∑i=1^k（-div（｜x-ξi｜^-2ai△↓u）-μiu/｜x-ξi｜^2（1＋ai）-u^pi-1/｜x-ξi｜^bipi）=0with Dirichlet boundary condition, which involves the weighted Hardy inequality and the weighted Hardy-Sobolev inequality. The results depend crucially on the parameters ai, bi and #i, i -- 1, 2,..., k.     

Infinitely many radial solutions to elliptic problems with critical Sobolev and Hardy terms

Let Ω RN be a ball centered at the origin with radius R > 0 and N 7, 2* = 2N/N-2. We obtain the existence of infinitely many radial solutions for the Dirichlet problem -△u = μ |x|2 u |u|2*-2u λu in Ω, u = 0 on аΩ for suitable positive numbers μ and λ. Such solutions are characterized by the number of their nodes.
