Localization Operators and Exponential Weights for Modulation Spaces

We study localization operators within the framework of ultradistributions. More precisely, given a symbol a and two windows φ₁, φ₂, we investigate the multilinear mapping from to the localization operator Results are formulated in terms of modulation spaces with weights which may have exponential growth. We give sufficient and necessary conditions for a to be bounded or to belong to a Schatten class. As an application, we study symbols defined by ultra-distributions with compact support, that give trace class localization operators.     

Uniformly summing sets of operators on spaces of vector–valued continuous functions

Let X, Y be Banach spaces. We say that a set is uniformly p–summing if the series is uniformly convergent for whenever (x_n) belongs to . We consider uniformly summing sets of operators defined on a -space and prove, in case X does not contain a copy of c₀, that is uniformly summing iff is, where T (φ x) = (T^#φ) x for all and x∈X. We also characterize the sets with the property that is uniformly summing viewed in . Received: 1 July 2005

In this paper for a positive real number α we consider two partial differential operators D and D_α on the half–plane We define a generalized Fourier transform associated with the operators D and D_α. We establish an analogue of Beurling–H?rmander’s Theorem for this transform and we give some applications of this theorem.     

Group Pairs with Property (T), from Arithmetic Lattices

Let Γ be an arithmetic lattice in an absolutely simple Lie group G with trivial centre. We prove that there exists an integer N ≥ 2, a subgroup Λ of finite index in Γ, and an action of Λ on such that the pair ( ) has property (T). If G has property (T), then so does . If G is the adjoint group of Sp(n, 1), then is a property (T) group satisfying the Baum–Connes conjecture. If Γ is an arithmetic lattice in SO(n, 1), then the associated von Neumann algebra is a II₁-factor in Popa’s class . Elaborating on this result of Popa, we construct a countable family of pairwise nonstably isomorphic group II₁-factors in the class , all with trivial fundamental groups and with all L²-Betti numbers being zero.Mathematics Subject Classiffications (2000). 22E40, 22E47, 46L80, 37A20     

Multivariable moment problems

In this paper we solve moment problems for Poisson transforms and, more generally, for completely positive linear maps on unital C^*-algebras generated by universal row contractions associated with , the free semigroup with n generators. This class of C*-algebras includes the Cuntz-Toeplitz algebra (resp. ) generated by the creation operators on the full (resp. symmetric, or anti-symmetric)) Fock space with n generators. As consequences, we obtain characterizations for the orbits of contractive Hilbert modules over complex free semigroup algebras such as ,and, more generally, the quotient algebra , where J is an arbitrary two-sided ideal of . All these results are extended to the generalized Cuntz algebra , where G_i⁺ are the positive cones ofdiscrete subgroups G_i⁺ of the real line . Moreover, we characterize the orbits of Hilbert modules over the quotient algebra , where J is an arbitrary two-sided ideal ofthe free semigroup algebra .

Dynamics of the Mapping Class Group on the Moduli of a Punctured Sphere with Rational Holonomy

Let M be a four-holed sphere and Γ the mapping class group of M fixing the boundary ∂M.

Let and be the compact component of the real points of . These points correspond to SU(2)-representations or SL(2, -representations. The Γ-action preserves and we study the topological dynamics of the Γ-action on and show that for a dense set of holonomy , the Γ-orbits are dense in . We also produce a class of representations such that the Γ-orbit of [ρ] is finite in the compact component of , but is dense in SL(2, .Mathematics Subject Classiffications (2000). 57M05, 54H20, 11D99     

Linear-Fractional Composition Operators in Several Variables

We investigate properties of linear-fractional composition operators C_φ on Hardy and Bergman spaces of the ball in that are motivated by a formula for the self-commutator [C_φ^* ,C_φ]. In particular, we characterize when certain commutators [C_φ, C_σ] are compact, and give conditions under which is compact, where is multiplication by the monomial z^β. Our results allow us to determine when C_φ is essentially normal, for φ belonging to a large class of linear-fractional symbols.

Assume that m ≥ 2, p is a prime number, （m,p（p - 1）） = 1,-1 not belong to 〈p〉 belong to （Z/mZ）^＊ and [（Z/mZ）^＊：〈p〉]=4.In this paper, we calculate the value of Gauss sum G（X）=∑x∈F^＊x（x）ζp^T（x） over Fq,where q=p^f,f=φ（m）/4,x is a multiplicative character of Fq and T is the trace map from Fq to Fp.Under our assumptions,G（x） belongs to the decomposition field K of p in Q（ζm） and K is an imaginary quartic abelian unmber field.When the Galois group Gal（K/Q） is cyclic,we have studied this cyclic case in anotyer paper：＂Gauss sums of index four：（1）cyclic case＂（accepted by Acta Mathematica Sinica,2003）.In this paper we deal with the non-cyclic case.

Let X be the Cantor set and φ be a minimal homeomorphism on . We show that the crossed product C^*-algebra is a simple A -algebra provided that the associated cocycle takes its values in rotations on . Given two minimal systems and such that φ and ψ arise from cocycles with values in isometric homeomorphisms on , we show that two systems are approximately K-conjugate when they have the same K-theoretical information.

The Automorphism Group of Plane Algebraic Curves with Singer Automorphisms

The main result in Cossidente and Siciliano (J. Number Theory, Vol. 99 (2003) pp. 373–382) states that if a Singer subgroup of PGL(3,q) is an automorphism group of a projective, geometric irreducible, non-singular plane algebraic curve then either or . In the former case is projectively equivalent to the curve with equation X^q+1Y+Y^q+1+X=0 studied by Pellikaan. Furthermore, the curve has a very nice property from Finite Geometry point of view: apart from the three distinguished points fixed by the Singer subgroup, the set of its -rational points can be partitioned into finite projective planes . In this paper, the full automorphism group of such curves is determined. It turns out that is the normalizer of a Singer group in .

Forbidden (0,1)-vectors in Hyperplanes of $$\mathbb{R}^{n}$$: The unrestricted case

In this paper, we continue our investigation on “Extremal problems under dimension constraints” introduced [1]. The general problem we deal with in this paper can be formulated as follows. Let be an affine plane of dimension k in . Given determine or estimate .Here we consider and solve the problem in the special case where is a hyperplane in and the “forbidden set” . The same problem is considered for the case, where is a hyperplane passing through the origin, which surprisingly turns out to be more difficult. For this case we have only partial results.AMS Classification: 05C35, 05B30, 52C99     

Algebras Generated by the Bergman and Anti-Bergman Projections and by Multiplications by Piecewise Continuous Functions

The C*-algebra generated by the Bergman and anti-Bergman projections and by the operators of multiplication by piecewise continuous functions on the Lebesgue space L²(Π) over the upper half-plane is studied. Making use of a local principle, limit operators techniques, and the Plamenevsky results on two-dimensional singular integral operators with coefficients admitting homogeneous discontinuities we reduce the study to simpler C*-algebras associated with points and pairs We construct a symbol calculus for unital C*-algebras generated by n orthogonal projections sum of which equals the unit and by m one-dimensional orthogonal projections. Such algebras are models of local algebras at points z ∈∂Π being the discontinuity points of coefficients. A symbol calculus for the C*- algebra and a Fredholm criterion for the operators are obtained. Finally, a C*-algebra isomorphism between the quotient algebra where is the ideal of compact operators, and its analogue for the unit disk is constructed.
