An off-diagonal Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem on Lorentz spaces

Let (X, μ) be a measure space. In this paper, using some ideas from Grafakos and Kalton, the authors establish an off-diagonal Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem for a quasilinear operator T in Lorentz spaces L ^p,q (X) with p, q ∈ (0,∞], which is a corrected version of Theorem 1.4.19 in [Grafakos, L.: Classical Fourier Analysis, Second Edition, Graduate Texts in Math., No. 249, Springer, New York, 2008] and which, in the case that T is linear or nonnegative sublinear, p ∈ [1,∞) and q ∈ [1,∞), was obtained by Stein and Weiss [Introduction to Fourier Analysis on Euclidean Spaces, Princeton University Press, Princeton, N.J., 1971].     

Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces

There exists a real hereditarily indecomposable Banach space X=X(C) (respectively X=X(H)) such that the algebra L(X)/S(X) is isomorphic to C (respectively to the quaternionic division algebra H).Up to isomorphism, X(C) has exactly two complex structures, which are conjugate, totally incomparable, and both hereditarily indecomposable. So there exist two Banach spaces which are isometric as real spaces but totally incomparable as complex spaces. This extends results of J. Bourgain and S. Szarek [J. Bourgain, Real isomorphic complex Banach spaces need not be complex isomorphic, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 96 (2) (1986) 221-226; S. Szarek, On the existence and uniqueness of complex structure and spaces with “few” operators, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 293 (1) (1986) 339-353; S. Szarek, A superreflexive Banach space which does not admit complex structure, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 97 (3) (1986) 437-444], and proves that a theorem of G. Godefroy and N.J. Kalton [G. Godefroy, N.J. Kalton, Lipschitz-free Banach spaces, Studia Math. 159 (1) (2003) 121-141] about isometric embeddings of separable real Banach spaces does not extend to the complex case.The quaternionic example X(H), on the other hand, has unique complex structure up to isomorphism; other examples with a unique complex structure are produced, including a space with an unconditional basis and non-isomorphic to l₂. This answers a question of S. Szarek in [S. Szarek, A superreflexive Banach space which does not admit complex structure, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 97 (3) (1986) 437-444].     

Extrapolation from A∞ weights and applications

We generalize the A_p extrapolation theorem of Rubio de Francia to A_∞ weights in the context of Muckenhoupt bases. Our result has several important features. First, it can be used to prove weak endpoint inequalities starting from strong-type inequalities, something which is impossible using the classical result. Second, it provides an alternative to the technique of good-λ inequalities for proving L^p norm inequalities relating operators. Third, it yields vector-valued inequalities without having to use the theory of Banach space valued operators. We give a number of applications to maximal functions, singular integrals, potential operators, commutators, multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators, and multiparameter fractional integrals. In particular, we give new proofs, which completely avoid the good-λ inequalities, of Coifman's inequality relating singular integrals and the maximal operator, of the Fefferman-Stein inequality relating the maximal operator and the sharp maximal operator, and the Muckenhoupt-Wheeden inequality relating the fractional integral operator and the fractional maximal operator.     

A note on the sunouchi operator with respect to the walsh—kaczmarz system

An analogue of the so—called Sunouchi operator with respect to the Walsh—Kaczmarz system will be investigated. We show the boundedness of this operator if we take it as a map from the dyadic Hardy space H ^p to L ^p for all 0<p≤1.. For the proof we consider a multiplier operator and prove its (H ^p H ^p)—boundedness for 0<p≤1. Since the multiplier is obviously bounded from L ² to L ², a theorem on interpolation of operators can be applied to show that our multiplier is of weak type (1,1) and of type (q q) for all 1<q<∞. The same statements follow also for the Sunouchi operator.     

Weighted inequalities and pointwise estimates for the multilinear fractional integral and maximal operators

In this article we prove weighted norm inequalities and pointwise estimates between the multilinear fractional integral operator and the multilinear fractional maximal. As a consequence of these estimations we obtain weighted weak and strong inequalities for the multilinear fractional maximal operator or function. In particular, we extend some results given in Carro et al. (2005) [7] to the multilinear context. On the other hand we prove weighted pointwise estimates between the multilinear fractional maximal operator Mα,B associated to a Young function B and the multilinear maximal operators Mψ=M0,ψ, ψ(t)=B(t1−α/(nm))^nm/(nm−α). As an application of these estimate we obtain a direct proof of the Lp−Lq boundedness results of Mα,B for the case B(t)=t and Bk(t)=tk(1+log⁺t) when 1/q=1/p−α/n. We also give sufficient conditions on the weights involved in the boundedness results of Mα,B that generalizes those given in Moen (2009) [22] for B(t)=t. Finally, we prove some boundedness results in Banach function spaces for a generalized version of the multilinear fractional maximal operator.     

The Banach-Stone theorem revisited

Let X and Y be compact Hausdorff spaces, and E and F be locally solid Riesz spaces. If π:C(X,E)→C(Y,F) is a 1-biseparating Riesz isomorphism then X and Y are homeomorphic, and E and F are Riesz isomorphic. This generalizes the main results of [Z. Ercan, S. Önal, Banach-Stone theorem for Banach lattice valued continuous functions, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (9) (2007) 2827-2829] and [X. Miao, C. Xinhe, H. Jiling, Banach-Stone theorems and Riesz algebras, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 313 (1) (2006) 177-183], and answers a conjecture in [Z. Ercan, S. Önal, Banach-Stone theorem for Banach lattice valued continuous functions, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (9) (2007) 2827-2829].     

Abrahamse's interpolation theorem and Fuchsian groups

We generalize Abrahamse's interpolation theorem from the setting of a multiply connected domain to that of a more general Riemann surface. Our main result provides the scalar-valued interpolation theorem for the fixed-point subalgebra of H^∞ associated to the action of a Fuchsian group. We rely on two results from a paper of Forelli. This allows us to prove the interpolation result using duality techniques that parallel Sarason's approach to the interpolation problem for H^∞ [Donald Sarason, Generalized interpolation in H^∞, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 127 (1967) 179-203, MR0208383. [26]]. In this process we prove a more general distance formula, very much like Nehari's theorem, and obtain relations between the kernel function for the character automorphic Hardy spaces and the Szegö kernel for the disk. Finally, we examine our interpolation results in the context of the two simplest examples of Fuchsian groups acting on the disk.     

Maximal function on Musielak-Orlicz spaces and generalized Lebesgue spaces

We consider the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator M on Musielak-Orlicz Spaces Lφ(Rd). We give a necessary condition for the continuity of M on Lφ(Rd) which generalizes the concept of Muckenhoupt classes. In the special case of generalized Lebesgue spaces Lp(⋅)(Rd) we show that this condition is also sufficient. Moreover, we show that the condition is “left-open” in the sense that not only M but also Mq is continuous for some q>1, where .     

Interval analysis techniques for boundary value problems of elasticity in two dimensions

In this paper we prove that the L² spectral radius of the traction double layer potential operator associated with the Lamé system on an infinite sector in R² is within 10⁻² from a certain conjectured value which depends explicitly on the aperture of the sector and the Lamé moduli of the system. This type of result is relevant to the spectral radius conjecture, cf., e.g., Problem 3.2.12 in [C.E. Kenig, Harmonic Analysis Techniques for Second Order Elliptic Boundary Value Problems, CBMS Reg. Conf. Ser. Math., vol. 83, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 1994]. The techniques employed in the paper are a blend of classical tools such as Mellin transforms, and Calderón-Zygmund theory, as well as interval analysis—resulting in a computer-aided proof.     

Multicyclicity of unbounded normal operators and polynomial approximation in C

A remarkable and much cited result of Bram [J. Bram, Subnormal operators, Duke Math. J. 22 (1955) 75-94] shows that a star-cyclic bounded normal operator in a separable Hilbert space has a cyclic vector. If, in addition, the operator is multiplication by the variable in a space L²(m) (not only unitarily equivalent to it), then it has a cyclic vector in L^∞(m). We extend Bram's result to the case of a general unbounded normal operator, implying by this that the (classical) multiplicity and the multicyclicity of the operator (cf. [N.K. Nikolski, Operators, Functions and Systems: An Easy Reading, vol. 2, Math. Surveys Monogr., vol. 93, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, 2002]) coincide. It follows that if m is a sigma-finite Borel measure on C (possibly with noncompact support), then there is a nonnegative finite Borel measure τ equivalent to m and such that L²(C,τ) is the norm-closure of the polynomials in z.     

Inequalities for scalar-valued linear operators that extend to their vector-valued analogues

A theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund asserts that a linear operator satisfying a strong type (L^r, L^q) inequality with norm M automatically extends to a vector-valued operator satisfying a strong type (L^r(l^v), L^q(l^v)) inequality with norm not exceeding C_{r, q}^(γ)M. In this paper, this theorem is proved in a more general context by replacing the L^q metric with a more general class of metrics. In doing so, the theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund is not only extended to more general contexts, but improvements of that theorem are also realized. In particular, our results show that operators satisfying weak type inequalities automatically extend to their vector-valued analogues; also the constant C_{r, q}^(γ) may be taken as one in the theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund whenever q ? r, and this includes most cases of interest.     

Nonlinear random equations involving operators of type (M)

The existence of random solutions of operator equations involving operators of type (M) is studied. The random analog of a deterministic result obtained by Petryshyn and Fitzpatrick (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.160 (1971), 39–63) for such operators is the main theorem. It is then followed by existence results for random Hammerstein operator equations.     

Estimates for the maximal multilinear singular integral operators

In this paper, some mapping properties are considered for the maximal multilinear singular integral operator whose kernel satisfies certain minimum regularity condition. It is proved that certain uniform local estimate for doubly truncated operators implies the Lp(Rn) (1 < p < ∞) boundedness and a weak type L log L estimate for the corresponding maximal operator.     

A ∞ weight estimates for vector-valued commutators of multilinear fractional integral

In this paper, the authors get the Coifman type weighted estimates and weak weighted LlogL estimates for vector-valued generalized commutators of multilinear fractional integral with w ∈ A∞. Furthermore, both the boundedness of vector-valued multilinear frac- tional integral and the weak weighted LlogL estimates for vector-valued multilinear fractional integral are also obtained.     

On integrability and L-convergence differentiated trigonometric series

New integrability and L¹-convergence classes for the r-times differentiated trigonometric series are derived using known results on integrability and L¹-convergence of trigonometric series. These classes, Theorems 1 and 2, subsume all known integrability and L¹-convergence classes for differentiated series. In particular, the extensions of the Fomin type theorems to r-times differentiated series, due to S.S. Bhatia and B. Ram (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 124 (1996) 1821-1829) and S.Y. Sheng (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 110 (1990) 895-904), are deduced from our Theorem 2 and its corollary Theorem 4. Another extension of the known results for differentiated series is given in Theorem 6. This result is proved using Fomin's theorem on cosine and sine series (Mat. Zametki 23 (1978) 213-222), and as a corollary of Theorem 2. The first proof yields another interesting conclusion, namely that the Fomin type theorems for differentiated series can be deduced as consequences of the original Fomin's results.     

On generalized operator quasi-equilibrium problems

In this paper, we will introduce the generalized operator equilibrium problem and generalized operator quasi-equilibrium problem which generalize the operator equilibrium problem due to Kazmi and Raouf [K.R. Kazmi, A. Raouf, A class of operator equilibrium problems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 308 (2005) 554-564] into multi-valued and quasi-equilibrium problems. Using a Fan-Browder type fixed point theorem in [S. Park, Foundations of the KKM theory via coincidences of composites of upper semicontinuous maps, J. Korean Math. Soc. 31 (1994) 493-519] and an existence theorem of equilibrium for 1-person game in [X.-P. Ding, W.K. Kim, K.-K. Tan, Equilibria of non-compact generalized games with L^∗-majorized preferences, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 164 (1992) 508-517] as basic tools, we prove new existence theorems on generalized operator equilibrium problem and generalized operator quasi-equilibrium problem which includes operator equilibrium problems.     

Canonical partition theorems for parameter sets

A canonical (i.e., unrestricted) version of the partition theorem for k-parameter sets of Graham and Rothschild (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.159 (1971), 257–291) is proven. Some applications, e.g., canonical versions, of the Rado-Folkman-Sanders theorem and of the partition theorem for finite Boolean algebras are given. Also the Erdös-Rado canonization theorem (J. London Math. Soc.25 (1950), 249–255) turns out to be an immediate corollary.
