Triangular norms and TNF-sigma-algebras

Following the suggestion made by Klement [8], an axiomatic theory of TNF-σ-algebras is given, T being any measurable triangular norm and N any negation. Most of the results about T-fuzzy σ-algebbrs obtained in [8] are extended to the case of TNF-σ-algebras. Some other properties of TNF-σ-algebras are also discussed. Particularly, we point out: (1) there exists a large family of triangular norms, which contains the whole Yager family and almost the whole Sugeno family as subfamilies, such that for any negation N each TNF-σ-algebra is generated, and (2) given a set U with |U|?2 and a measurable triangular norm T, in order that for every negation N each TNF-σ-algebra on U is generated it is necessary that T is Archimedean.     

Almost periodic events generated by random flows

Under suitable conditions, a measurable action of a semigroup S on a probability space $(\varOmega,\mathcal {F},\mu )$ generates various σ-fields reflecting the dynamical properties of the associated representation of S and containing the information provided by certain subspaces of $\mathcal {L}^{1}(\mu )$ determined by the representation. For example, the functions in $\mathcal {L}^{1}(\mu )$ with norm relatively compact orbits under S are precisely the $\mathcal {L}^{1}$ functions that are measurable with respect to the σ-field of almost periodic events. In the special case of a measure-preserving action, the minimal projection operator associated with the action is a conditional expectation with respect to this σ-field, leading to a result on transformation of martingales. The unifying construct throughout the paper is the weakly almost periodic compactification of S, a powerful tool that provides a convenient platform to study operator semigroups associated with the action.     

The Berezin transform and Laplace-Beltrami operator

We study the Berezin transform of bounded operators on the Bergman space on a bounded symmetric domain Ω in Cn. The invariance of range of the Berezin transform with respect to G=Aut(Ω), the automorphism group of biholomorphic maps on Ω, is derived based on the general framework on invariant symbolic calculi on symmetric domains established by Arazy and Upmeier. Moreover we show that as a smooth bounded function, the Berezin transform of any bounded operator is also bounded under the action of the algebra of invariant differential operators generated by the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the unit disk and even on the unit ball of higher dimensions.     

Fuzzy measures and discreteness

The main result is to show that the space of nonmonotonic fuzzy measures on a measurable space (X,X) with total variation norm is separable if and only if the σ-algebra X is a finite set. Our result is related to fuzzy analysis, functional spaces and discrete mathematics.     

Rudin orthogonality problem on the Bergman space

In this paper, we study the Rudin orthogonality problem on the Bergman space, which is to characterize those functions bounded analytic on the unit disk whose powers form an orthogonal set in the Bergman space of the unit disk. We completely solve the problem if those functions are univalent in the unit disk or analytic in a neighborhood of the closed unit disk. As a consequence, it is shown that an analytic multiplication operator on the Bergman space is unitarily equivalent to a weighted unilateral shift of finite multiplicity n if and only if its symbol is a constant multiple of the n-th power of a Möbius transform, which was obtained via the Hardy space theory of the bidisk in Sun et al. (2008) [10].     

On C*-Algebras of Toeplitz Operators on the Harmonic Bergman Space

Commutative algebras of Toeplitz operators acting on the Bergman space on the unit disk have been completely classified in terms of geometric properties of the symbol class. The question when two Toeplitz operators acting on the harmonic Bergman space commute is still open. In some papers, conditions on the symbols have been given in order to have commutativity of two Toeplitz operators. In this paper, we describe three different algebras of Toeplitz operators acting on the harmonic Bergman space: The C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with radial symbols, in the elliptic case; the C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous symbols, in the parabolic and hyperbolic cases. We prove that the Calkin algebra of the first two algebras are commutative, like in the case of the Bergman space, while the last one is not.     

Density of algebras generated by Toeplitz operators on Bergman spaces

In this paper it is shown that Toeplitz operators on Bergman space form a dense subset of the space of all bounded linear operators, in the strong operator topology, and that their norm closure contains all compact operators. Further, theC ^*-algebra generated by them does not contain all bounded operators, since all Toeplitz operators belong to the essential commutant of certain shift. The result holds in Bergman spacesA ²(Ω) for a wide class of plane domains Ω?C, and in Fock spacesA ²(C ^N),N≧1.     

Hankel operators and the Stieltjes moment problem

Let s be a non-vanishing Stieltjes moment sequence and let μ be a representing measure of it. We denote by μn the image measure in Cn of μ⊗σn under the map , where σn is the rotation invariant probability measure on the unit sphere. We show that the closure of holomorphic polynomials in L²(μn) is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of analytic functions and describe various spectral properties of the corresponding Hankel operators with anti-holomorphic symbols. In particular, if n=1, we prove that there are nontrivial Hilbert-Schmidt Hankel operators with anti-holomorphic symbols if and only if s is exponentially bounded. In this case, the space of symbols of such operators is shown to be the classical Dirichlet space. We mention that the classical weighted Bergman spaces, the Hardy space and Fock type spaces fall in this setting.     

Eigenvalue Characterization of Radial Operators on Weighted Bergman Spaces Over the Unit Ball

We study the so-called radial operators, and in particular radial Toeplitz operators, acting on the standard weighted Bergman space on the unit ball in ${\mathbb{C}^n}$ . They turn out to be diagonal with respect to the standard monomial basis, and the elements of their eigenvalue sequences depend only on the length of multi-indexes enumerating basis elements. We explicitly characterize the eigenvalue sequences of radial Toeplitz operators by giving a solution for the weighted extension of the classical Hausdorff moment problem, and show that the norm closure of the set of all radial Toeplitz operators with bounded measurable radial symbols coincides with the C*-algebra generated by these Toeplitz operators and is isomorphic and isometric to the C*-algebra of sequences that slowly oscillate in the sense of Schmidt.     

A characteristic operator function for the class of n-hypercontractions

We consider a class of bounded linear operators on Hilbert space called n-hypercontractions which relates naturally to adjoint shift operators on certain vector-valued standard weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disc. In the context of n-hypercontractions in the class C0⋅ we introduce a counterpart to the so-called characteristic operator function for a contraction operator. This generalized characteristic operator function Wn,T is an operator-valued analytic function in the unit disc whose values are operators between two Hilbert spaces of defect type. Using an operator-valued function of the form Wn,T, we parametrize the wandering subspace for a general shift invariant subspace of the corresponding vector-valued standard weighted Bergman space. The operator-valued analytic function Wn,T is shown to act as a contractive multiplier from the Hardy space into the associated standard weighted Bergman space.

Weighted composition operators from weighted Bergman spaces to weighted-type spaces on the unit ball

We calculate the operator norm of the weighted composition operator from a weighted Bergman space to a weighted-type space on the unit ball of Cⁿ. We also characterize the compactness of the operator.     

Positivity of Toeplitz operators via Berezin transform

In this paper, we study positive Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space via their Berezin transforms. Surprisingly we show that the positivity of a Toeplitz operator on the Bergman space is not completely determined by the positivity of the Berezin transform of its symbol. In fact, we show that even if the minimal value of the Berezin transform of a quadratic polynomial of |z|$|z|$ on the unit disk is positive, the Toeplitz operator with the function as the symbol may not be positive.     

Commutative Toeplitz Banach Algebras on the Ball and Quasi-Nilpotent Group Action

Studying commutative C*-algebras generated by Toeplitz operators on the unit ball it was proved that, given a maximal commutative subgroup of biholomorphisms of the unit ball, the C*-algebra generated by Toeplitz operators, whose symbols are invariant under the action of this subgroup, is commutative on each standard weighted Bergman space. There are five different pairwise non-conjugate model classes of such subgroups: quasi-elliptic, quasi-parabolic, quasi-hyperbolic, nilpotent and quasi-nilpotent. Recently it was observed in Vasilevski (Integr Equ Oper Theory. 66:141–152, 2010) that there are many other, not geometrically defined, classes of symbols which generate commutative Toeplitz operator algebras on each weighted Bergman space. These classes of symbols were subordinated to the quasi-elliptic group, the corresponding commutative operator algebras were Banach, and being extended to C*-algebras they became non-commutative. These results were extended then to the classes of symbols, subordinated to the quasi-hyperbolic and quasi-parabolic groups. In this paper we prove the analogous commutativity result for Toeplitz operators whose symbols are subordinated to the quasi-nilpotent group. At the same time we conjecture that apart from the known C*-algebra cases there are no more new Banach algebras generated by Toeplitz operators whose symbols are subordinated to the nilpotent group and which are commutative on each weighted Bergman space.     

Derivations on ideals in commutative AW*-algebras

LetA be a commutativeAW*-algebra.We denote by S(A) the *-algebra of measurable operators that are affiliated with A. For an ideal I in A, let s(I) denote the support of I. Let Y be a solid linear subspace in S(A). We find necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of nonzero band preserving derivations from I to Y. We prove that no nonzero band preserving derivation from I to Y exists if either Y ? Aor Y is a quasi-normed solid space. We also show that a nonzero band preserving derivation from I to S(A) exists if and only if the boolean algebra of projections in the AW*-algebra s(I)A is not σ-distributive.     

Explicit eigenvalue estimates for transfer operators acting on spaces of holomorphic functions

We consider transfer operators acting on spaces of holomorphic functions, and provide explicit bounds for their eigenvalues. More precisely, if Ω is any open set in Cd, and L is a suitable transfer operator acting on Bergman space A²(Ω), its eigenvalue sequence {λn(L)} is bounded by |λn(L)|?Aexp(−an1/d), where a,A>0 are explicitly given.     

The harmonic Bergman kernels for punctured domains

We obtain the explicit formulae for the harmonic Bergman kernels of Bn／{0} and Rn／Bn and study the connection between harmonic Bergman kernel and weighted harmonic Bergman kernel.We also get the explicit formula for the weighted harmonic Bergman kernel of Bn／{0} with the weight 1/｜x｜4.     

Measurability in C({2^\kappa }) } and Kunen cardinals

A cardinal κ is called a Kunen cardinal if the σ-algebra on κ × κ generated by all products A×B, where A,B ? κ, coincides with the power set of κ×κ. For any cardinal κ, let $C({2^\kappa })$ be the Banach space of all continuous real-valued functions on the Cantor cube $C({2^\kappa })$ . We prove that κ is a Kunen cardinal if and only if the Baire σ-algebra on $C({2^\kappa })$ for the pointwise convergence topology coincides with the Borel σ-algebra on $C({2^\kappa })$ for the norm topology. Some other links between Kunen cardinals and measurability in Banach spaces are also given.     

Essential norm of products of multiplication composition and differentiation operators on weighted Bergman spaces

Let ψ be a holomorphic function on the open unit disk D and φ a holomorphic self-map of D. Let C_φ,M_ψ and D denote the composition, multiplication and differentiation operator, respectively. We find an asymptotic expression for the essential norm of products of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces on the unit disk. This paper is a continuation of our recent paper concerning the boundedness of these operators on weighted Bergman spaces.
