Weyl and Bernstein numbers of embeddings of Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed smoothness

This paper is a continuation of work of the author and joint work with Winfried Sickel. Here we shall investigate the asymptotic behaviour of Weyl and Bernstein numbers of embeddings of Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed smoothness into Lebesgue spaces.     

Parking functions and vertex operators

We introduce several associative algebras and families of vector spaces associated to these algebras. Using lattice vertex operators, we obtain dimension and character formulae for these spaces. In particular, we define a family of representations of symmetric groups which turn out to be isomorphic to parking function modules. We also construct families of vector spaces whose dimensions are Catalan numbers and Fuss–Catalan numbers respectively. Conjecturally, these spaces are related to spaces of global sections of vector bundles on (zero fibres of) Hilbert schemes and representations of rational Cherednik algebras.      

Entropy Numbers of Trudinger-Strichartz Embeddings of Radial Besov Spaces and Applications

The asymptotic behaviour of entropy numbers of Trudinger–Strichartzembeddings of radial Besov spaces on Rⁿ into exponential Orliczspaces is calculated. Estimates of the entropy numbers as wellas estimates of entropy numbers of Sobolev embeddings of radialBesov spaces are applied to spectral theory of certain pseudo-differentialoperators.     

Stochastic arithmetic: Addition and multiplication by scalars

Stochastic arithmetic involving addition and multiplication by scalars is studied with an emphasis on the abstract structure of the set of stochastic numbers. New properties of stochastic numbers are obtained such as a special distributivity relation corresponding to the second distributivity law in a vector space. This allows us to introduce algebraic systems abstracting properties of stochastic numbers, with respect to addition and multiplication by scalars. We define axiomatically such systems with group structure and give them a complete characterization in the finite dimensional case. This permits to reduce computation with stochastic numbers to computation in familiar vector spaces.     

Wavelet para-bases and sampling numbers in function spaces on domains

This paper deals with wavelet frames (para-bases), local polynomial reproducing formulas, and sampling numbers in function spaces on arbitrary and on E-thick domains in Euclidean n-space. In an Appendix we collect some recent instruments for corresponding function spaces on Euclidean n-space.     

The law of large numbers in locally convex spaces

Summary The law of large numbers is extended to random elements taking values in locally convex spaces. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the law are given in a large class of locally convex spaces, vix. normed spaces. This class includes, among others, the test function spaces and the distribution spaces.     

Estimates of approximation numbers and applications

In this study, the estimates of approximation numbers of embedding operators in weighted spaces have been analyzed. These estimates depend on orders of differential operators, dimensions of function spaces and weighted functions. This fact implies that the associated embedding operators belong to Schatten class of compact operators. By using these estimates, the discreetness of spectrum and completion of root elements relating to principal nonselfedjoint degenerate differential operators is obtained.     

Cobordism for Hamiltonian loop group actions and flat connections on the punctured two-sphere

We develop a theory of symplectic cobordism and a Duistermaat-Heckman principle for Hamiltonian loop group actions. As an application, we construct a symplectic cobordism between moduli spaces of flat connections on the three holed sphere and disjoint unions of toric varieties. This cobordism yields formulas for the mixed Pontrjagin numbers of the moduli spaces, equivalent to Witten's formulas in the case of symplectic volumes. Received June 15, 1998     

From graphs to ortholattices and equivariant maps

A functor is constructed from the category of graphs and graph homomorphisms to the category of spaces with involutions and equivariant homotopy classes of maps. This can sometimes be used to prove lower bounds on chromatic numbers, and was inspired by Lovász's proof of Kneser's conjecture. Ortholattices occur as an intermediate step between graphs and spaces, and the correspondence between graphs and ortholattices is analyzed.     

Cleavability in Ordered Spaces

In this paper we study the role of cleavability and divisibility in the topology of generalized ordered (GO-)spaces. We characterize cleavability of a GO-space over the class of metrizable spaces, and over the spaces of irrational and rational numbers. We present a series of examples related to characterizations of cleavability over separable metric spaces and over the space of real numbers.     

Embedding theorems of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on spaces of homogeneous type

In this paper, the author establishes the embedding theorems for different metrics of inhomoge-neous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on spaces of homogeneous type. As an application, the author obtains some estimates for the entropy numbers of the embeddings in the limiting cases between some Besov spaces and some logarithmic Lebesgue spaces.     

Yang-Mills theory and Tamagawa numbers: the fascination of unexpected links in mathematics

Atiyah and Bott used equivariant Morse theory applied to theYang–Mills functional to calculate the Betti numbers ofmoduli spaces of vector bundles over a Riemann surface, rederivinginductive formulae obtained from an arithmetic approach whichinvolved the Tamagawa number of SL_n. This article attempts tosurvey and extend our understanding of this link between Yang–Millstheory and Tamagawa numbers, and to explain how methods usedover the last three decades to study the singular cohomologyof moduli spaces of bundles on a smooth projective curve over can be adapted to the setting of ¹-homotopy theory to studythe motivic cohomology of these moduli spaces over an algebraicallyclosed field.     

Entropy numbers, s-numbers,and eigenvalue problems

We establish inequalities between entropy numbers and approximation numbers for operators acting between Banach spaces. Furthermore we derive inequalities between eigenvalues and entropy numbers for operators acting on a Banach space. The results are compared with the classical inequalities of Bernstein and Jackson.     

Local properties of Hilbert spaces of Dirichlet series

We show that the asymptotic behavior of the partial sums of a sequence of positive numbers determine the local behavior of the Hilbert space of Dirichlet series defined using these as weights. This extends results recently obtained describing the local behavior of Dirichlet series with square summable coefficients in terms of local integrability, boundary behavior, Carleson measures and interpolating sequences. As these spaces can be identified with functions spaces on the infinite-dimensional polydisk, this gives new results on the Dirichlet and Bergman spaces on the infinite-dimensional polydisk, as well as the scale of Besov-Sobolev spaces containing the Drury-Arveson space on the infinite-dimensional unit ball. We use both techniques from the theory of sampling in Paley-Wiener spaces, and classical results from analytic number theory.

Association schemes based on maximal totally isotropic subspaces in singular pseudo-symplectic spaces

This paper provides some new families of symmetric association schemes based on maximal totally isotropic subspaces in (singular) pseudo-symplectic spaces. All intersection numbers of these schemes are computed.     

On support points of segmentally closed convex bodies in the rational plane

In the rational plane there exist bounded segmentally closed convex bodies with no support lines. This and other examples exhibited in this paper show that in vector spaces over non-complete ordered fields support hyperplanes of convex sets behave in a way very different from the way they behave in vector spaces over the field of real numbers.This paper was written during 1987 while the author, on leave from the University of Zagreb, was visiting the University of Washington in Seattle.     

Generalized Stirling and Lah numbers

The theory of modular binomial lattices enables the simultaneous combinatorial analysis of finite sets, vector spaces, and chains. Within this theory three generalizations of Stirling numbers of the second kind, and of Lah numbers, are developed.     

The isometry groups of the hamming spaces of periodic sequences

We consider the Hamming space of periodic (0, 1)-sequences and a continual family of its subspaces defined as direct limits of finite Hamming spaces. These subspaces form a complete lattice under inclusion which is isomorphic to the lattice of supernatural numbers. We explicitly describe the isometry groups of these spaces. This involves certain constructions similar to the hyperoctahedral groups but accounting for additional structures on the underlying sets.
