A Note on the Spectrum of Invertible p-hyponormal Operators

A bounded linear operator T is clalled p-hyponormal if (T*T)^p ≥ (TT)^p, 0 < p < 1. It is known that for semi-hyponormal operators (p = 1/2), the spectrum of the operator is equal to the union of the spectra of the general polar symbols of the operator. In this paper we prove a somewhat weaker result for invertible p-hyponormal operators for 0 < p < 1/2.     

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.     

Operator Ideals,Orthonormal Systems and Lacunary Sets

Given an orthonormal system B in some L²(u) we consider the operator ideals II_B and T_B of B-summing and B-type operators and some related ideals. We characterize by certain weak compactness properties when II_B is equal to the operator ideal II₂ of 2-summing operators. In lose that B consists of characters of a compact abelian group we characterize when II_B coincides with the operator ideal II_γ of Gauss-summing operators and when T_B coincides with the operator ideal II_p of type-2 operators. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for Fig to contain the operator ideal II_p of p-summing operators (2 < p < ∞) and for T_B to contain the operator ideal Γ_p of p - factorable operators.     

Connectedness of Spectra of Toeplitz Operators on Hardy Spaces with Muckenhoupt Weights Over Carleson Curves

Harold Widom proved in 1966 that the spectrum of a Toeplitz operator T(a) acting on the Hardy space H^p(\mathbbT)H^p({\mathbb{T}}) over the unit circle \mathbbT{\mathbb{T}} is a connected subset of the complex plane for every bounded measurable symbol a and 1 < p < ∞. In 1972, Ronald Douglas established the connectedness of the essential spectrum of T(a) on H²(\mathbbT)H^2({\mathbb{T}}). We show that, as was suspected, these results remain valid in the setting of Hardy spaces H^p(Γ,w), 1 < p < ∞, with general Muckenhoupt weights w over arbitrary Carleson curves Γ.     

Riemann summability of multi-dimensional trigonometric-fourier series

The d-dimensional classical Hardy spaces H_p(T ^d) are introduced and it is shown that the maximal operator of the Riemann sums of a distribution is bounded from H_p(T ^d) to L_p(T ²) (d/(d+1)<p≤∞) and is of weak type (1,1) provided that the supremum in the maximal operator is taken over a positive cone. The same is proved for the conjugate Riemann sums. As a consequence we obtain that every function f∈L₁(T ^d) is a. e. Riemann summable to f, provided again that the limit is taken over a positive cone. This research was partly supported by the Hungarian Scientific Research Funds (OTKA) No F019633.     

A Factorization Property of R‐Bounded Sets of Operators on Lp‐Spaces

Let T be a bounded operator on L^p‐space, with 1 ≤ p < ∞. A theorem of W. B. Johnson and L. Jones asserts that after an appropriate change of density, T actually extends to a bounded operator on L². We show that if 𝒯 ⊂ B (L^p) is an R‐bounded set of operators, then the latter result holds for any T ∈ 𝒯 with a common change of density. Then we give applications including results on R‐sectorial operators.     

The maximal (C,α,β) operator on Hp(T×T)

The two-dimensional classical Hardy space H_p(T×T) on the bidisc are introduced, and it is shown that the maximal operator of the (C,α,β) means of a distribution is bounded from the space H_p(T×T) to L_p(T²) (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p≤∞), and is of weak type (H ₁ ^# (T×T), L₁(T²)), where the Hardy space H ₁ ^# (T×T) is defined by the hybrid maximal function. As a consequence we obtain that the (C, α, β) means of a function f∈H ₁ ^# (T×T)⊃LlogL(T ²) convergs a. e. to the function in question. Moreover, we prove that the (C, α, β) means are uniformly bounded on the spaces H_p(T×T) whenever 1/(α+1), 1(β+1)<p<∞. Thus, in case f∈H_p(T×T), the (C, α, β) means convergs to f in H_p(T×T) norm whenever (1/(α+1), 1/(β+1)<p<∞). The same results are proved for the conjugate (C, α, β) means, too.

On contractions with compact defects

In 2005, the following question was posed by Duggal, Djordjević, and Kubrusly: Assume that T is a contraction of the class C ₁₀ such that I − T ^* T is compact and the spectrum of T is the unit disk. Can the isometric asymptote of T be a reductive unitary operator? In this paper, we give a positive answer to this question. We construct two kinds of examples. One of them are the operators of multiplication by independent variable in the closure of analytic polynomials in L ²(ν),where ν is an appropriate positive finite Borel measure on the closed unit disk. The second kind of examples is based on a theorem by Chevreau, Exner, and Pearcy. We obtain a contraction T satisfying all the needed conditions and such that I − T ^* T belongs to the Schatten–von Neumann classes \mathfrakS_p {\mathfrak{S}_p} for all p > 1. We give an example of a contraction T such that I − T ^* T belongs to \mathfrakS_p {\mathfrak{S}_p} for all p > 1, T is quasisimilar to a unitary operator and has “more” invariant subspaces than this unitary operator. Also, following Bercovici and Kérchy, we show that if a subset of the unit circle is the spectrum of a contraction quasisimilar to a given absolutely continuous unitary operator, then this contraction T can be chosen so that I − T*T is compact.

Approximation Properties and Some Classes of Operators

The following questions and close problems are studied.(i) Is it true that T is p-nuclear provided that T ^** is p-nuclear? (ii) Is it true that Tis dually p-nuclear provided that T ^* is p-nuclear? (iii) Is it true that if T ^*is compactly factorable in the space l _p, then T is (strictly) factorable in the space l _p'? Here, T ^* is the adjoint operator of a bounded operator T:X Yin Banach spaces X and Y. Bibliography: 30 titles.     

Time Regularity for Random Walks on Locally Compact Groups

Let G be a compactly generated, locally compact group, and let T be the operator of convolution with a probability measure μ on G. Our main results give sufficient conditions on μ for the operator T to be analytic in L ^p (G), 1 < p < ∞, where analyticity means that one has an estimate of form for all n = 1, 2, ... in L ^p operator norm. Counterexamples show that analyticity may not hold if some of the conditions are not satisfied.     

An Endpoint Estimate for the Commutator of Singular Integrals

It is well known that the commutator Tb of the singular integral operator T with a BMO function b is bounded on L^P（R^n）, 1 〈 p 〈 ∞. In this paper, we consider the endpoint estimates for a kind of commutator of singular integrals. A BMO-type estimate for Tb is obtained under the assumption b ∈ LMO.     

SOME FUNCTIONAL ANALYTIC PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITION OPERATORS

Abstract

This is a report on a number of recent results on composition operators which map, for 0 < p ? q ∞, the Hardy space H^p (on the unit disk in the complex plane) into H ^q. Attention is focused on questions of boundedness (existence), compactness, order boundedness and, in connection with the latter, on relating the absolutely summing and nuclearity character as well as special factorization properties of the operator to function theoretic properties of the defining symbol. Moreover, tools are provided to show that certain classes of operators can well be distinguished already on the level of composition operators.     

Computable analysis of a boundary‐value problem for the generalized KdV–Burgers equation

In this paper, we investigate the computability of the solution operator of the generalized KdV‐Burgers equation with initial‐boundary value problem. Here, the solution operator is a nonlinear map H^{3m ? 1}(R⁺) × H^m(0,T)→C([0,T];H^{3m ? 1}(R⁺)) from the initial‐boundary value data to the solution of the equation. By a technique that is widely used for the study of nonlinear dispersive equation, and using the type 2 theory of effectivity as computable model, we prove that the solution map is Turing computable, for any integer m ≥ 2, and computable real number T > 0.

Commutators of Riesz Transforms Related to?Schr?dinger Operators

In this work we obtain boundedness on L ^p , for 1<p<??, of commutators T _b f=bTf?T(bf) where T is any of the Riesz transforms or their conjugates associated to the Schr?dinger operator ???+V with V satisfying an appropriate reverse H?lder inequality. The class where b belongs is larger than the usual BMO. We also obtain a substitute result for p=??, under a slightly stronger condition on?b.     

An operator onL pwithout best compact approximation

Norm optimization problem for linear operators in classical Banach spaces

The main result of the paper shows that, for 1 < p < ∞ and 1 ≤ q < ∞, a linear operator T: ℓ _p → ℓ _q attains its norm if, and only if, there exists a not weakly null maximizing sequence for T (counterexamples can be easily constructed when p = 1). For 1 < p ≠ q < ∞, as a consequence of the previous result we show that any not weakly null maximizing sequence for a norm attaining operator T: ℓ _p → ℓ _q has a norm-convergent subsequence (and this result is sharp in the sense that it is not valid if p = q). We also investigate lineability of the sets of norm-attaining and non-norm attaining operators.     

Triangular Dirichlet Kernels and Growth of L p Lebesgue Constants

Let P be a polygon in ℤ² and consider the mapping of an L¹(\mathbbT²)L^{1}(\mathbb{T}^{2}) function into the partial sum of its Fourier series determined by the dilate of P by the integer N. If the image space is endowed with the L ^p norm, 1<p<∞, then the operator norm will be given by the L ^p norm of ∑_(m,n)∈NP e ^{2π i(mx+ny)}. The size of this operator norm is shown to be O(N ^2(1−1/p)) when the polygon is a triangle. The estimate is independent of the shape of the triangle. For a k sided polygon the corresponding estimate is O(kN ^2(1−1/p)).     

The Trace of Nuclear Operators on L p (μ) for σ-Finite Borel Measures on Second Countable Spaces

Let Ω be a second countable topological space and μ be a σ−finite measure on the Borel sets M{\mathcal{M}}. Let T be a nuclear operator on L^p(W,M,m){L^p({\Omega},{\mathcal{M}},\mu) }, 1 < p < ∞, in this work we establish a formula for the trace of T. A preliminary trace formula is established applying the general theory of traces on operator ideals introduced by Pietsch and a characterization of nuclear operators for σ−finite measures. We also use the Doob’s maximal theorem for martingales with the purpose of studying the kernel k(x, y) of T on the diagonal.
