Algorithms for Computing Generalized U(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>) Racah Coefficients

Algorithms are developed for computing generalized Racah coefficients for the U(N) groups. The irreducible representations (irreps) of the U(N) groups, as well as their tensor products, are realized as polynomials in complex variables. When tensor product irrep labels as well as a given irrep label are specified, maps are constructed from the irrep space to the tensor product space. The number of linearly independent maps gives the multiplicity. The main theorem of this paper shows that the eigenvalues of generalized Casimir operators are always sufficient to break the multiplicity. Using this theorem algorithms are given for computing the overlap between different sets of eigenvalues of commuting generalized Casimir operators, which are the generalized Racah coefficients. It is also shown that these coefficients are basis independent. Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 22E70, 81R05, 81R40.     

Racah operators for the group of motions

The author [5] introduced Racah operators for unitary representations of topological groups of type I. In the present paper, we indicate the explicit form of these operators for representations of the group of motions of three-dimensional Euclidean space.     

Quadratic algebras and dynamics in curved spaces. I. Oscillator

The dynamical symmetry of a three-dimensional oscillator in a space of constant curvature is described by three operators formed from the components of the Fradkin-Higgs tensor and the generators of the quadratic Racah algebraQR(3). This algebra makes it possible to find all dynamical characteristics of the problem: the spectrum, degeneracy of the energy levels, and the overlap coefficients of the wave functions in different coordinate systems. The algebra that generates the spectrum is constructed and found to be the quadratic Jacobi algebraQJ(3).Donetsk State University.

Generalized Fredholm Properties for Invariant Pseudodifferential Operators

We define classes of pseudodifferential operators on G-bundles with compact base and give a generalized L ² Fredholm theory for invariant operators in these classes in terms of von Neumann’s G-dimension. We combine this formalism with a generalized Paley–Wiener theorem, valid for bundles with unimodular structure groups, to provide solvability criteria for invariant operators. This formalism also gives a basis for a G-index for these operators. We also define and describe a transversal dimension and its corresponding Fredholm theory in terms of anisotropic Sobolev estimates, valid also for similar bundles with nonunimodular structure group.     

On linear preservers of normal maps

We study group induced cone (GIC) orderings generating normal maps. Examples of normal maps cover, among others, the eigenvalue map on the space of n × n Hermitian matrices as well as the singular value map on n × n complex matrices. In this paper, given two linear spaces equipped with GIC orderings induced by groups of orthogonal operators, we investigate linear operators preserving normal maps of the orderings. A characterization of the preservers is obtained in terms of the groups. The result is applied to show that the normal structure of the spaces is preserved under the action of the operators. In addition, examples are given.     

Unitary equivalence of one-parameter groups of Toeplitz and composition operators

The composition operators on H² whose symbols are hyperbolic automorphisms of the unit disk fixing ±1 comprise a one-parameter group and the analytic Toeplitz operators coming from covering maps of annuli centered at the origin whose radii are reciprocals also form a one-parameter group. Using the eigenvectors of the composition operators and of the adjoints of the Toeplitz operators, a direct unitary equivalence is found between the restrictions to zH² of the group of Toeplitz operators and the group of adjoints of these composition operators. On the other hand, it is shown that there is not a unitary equivalence of the groups of Toeplitz operators and the adjoints of the composition operators on the whole of H², but there is a similarity between them.     

Mikhlin’s problem on Carnot groups

We consider one class of singular integral operators over the functions on domains of Carnot groups. We prove the L _p boundedness, 1 < p > ∞, for the operators of this class. Similar operators over the functions on domains of Euclidean space were considered by Mikhlin.     

One-parameter groups of regular quasimultipliers

Groups of unbounded operators are approached in the setting of the Esterle quasimultiplier theory. We introduce groups of regular quasimultipliers of growth ω, or ω-groups for short, where ω is a continuous weight on the real line. We study the relationship of ω-groups with families of operators and homomorphisms such as regularized, distribution and integrated groups, holomorphic semigroups, and functional calculi. Some convolution Banach algebras of functions with derivatives to fractional order are needed, which we construct using the Weyl fractional calculus.     

On multipliers on compact Lie groups

In this note we announce L ^p multiplier theorems for invariant and noninvariant operators on compact Lie groups in the spirit of the well-known Hörmander-Mikhlin theorem on ? ⁿ and its versions on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$ . Applications to mapping properties of pseudo-differential operators on L ^p -spaces and to a priori estimates for nonhypoelliptic operators are given.     

Quadratic algebras and dynamics in curved spaces. II. The Kepler problem

The symmetry aspects of the Kepler problem in a space of constant negative curvature are considered. It is shown that the algebra of the hidden symmetry reduces to the quadratic Racah algebraQR(3), and this makes it possible to express the coefficients of the overlapping of the wave functions in the spherical and parabolic coordinates in terms of Wilson-Racah polynomials. It is shown that the dynamical symmetry algebra that generates the spectrum is the quadratic Jacobi algebraQJ(3). Its ladder operators permit explicit construction of wave functions in the coordinate representation with the ground state as the starting point.Donetsk State University.

Wilson Function Transforms Related to Racah Coefficients

The irreducible -representations of the Lie algebra consist of discrete series representations, principal unitary series and complementary series. We calculate Racah coefficients for tensor product representations that consist of at least two discrete series representations. We use the explicit expressions for the Clebsch–Gordan coefficients as hypergeometric functions to find explicit expressions for the Racah coefficients. The Racah coefficients are Wilson polynomials and Wilson functions. This leads to natural interpretations of the Wilson function transforms. As an application several sum and integral identities are obtained involving Wilson polynomials and Wilson functions. We also compute Racah coefficients for , which turn out to be Askey–Wilson functions and Askey–Wilson polynomials.This research was done during my stay at the Department of Mathematics at Chalmers University of Technology and Göteborg University in Sweden, supported by a NWO-TALENT stipendium of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).     

Gaussian-type upper bound for the evolution kernels on nilpotent meta-abelian groups

We give a Gaussian-type upper bound for the transition kernels of the time-inhomogeneous diffusion processes on a nilpotent meta-abelian Lie group N generated by the family of time dependent second order left-invariant differential operators. These evolution kernels are related to the heat kernel for the left-invariant second order differential operators on higher rank NA groups.     

King type modification of q-Bernstein-Schurer operators

Very recently the q-Bernstein-Schurer operators which reproduce only constant function were introduced and studied by C. V. Muraru (2011). Inspired by J. P. King, Positive linear operators which preserve x ² (2003), in this paper we modify q-Bernstein-Schurer operators to King type modification of q-Bernstein-Schurer operators, so that these operators reproduce constant as well as quadratic test functions x ² and study the approximation properties of these operators. We establish a convergence theorem of Korovkin type. We also get some estimations for the rate of convergence of these operators by using modulus of continuity. Furthermore, we give a Voronovskaja-type asymptotic formula for these operators.     

An extension of a Phillips's theorem to Banach algebras and application to the uniform continuity of strongly continuous semigroups

In this work we present an extension to arbitrary unital Banach algebras of a result due to Phillips [R.S. Phillips, Spectral theory of semigroups of linear operators, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 71 (1951) 393-415] (Theorem 1.1) which provides sufficient conditions assuring the uniform continuity of strongly continuous semigroups of linear operators. It implies that, when dealing with the algebra of bounded operators on a Banach space, the conditions of Phillips's theorem are also necessary. Moreover, it enables us to derive necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of essential spectra which guarantee the uniform continuity of strongly continuous semigroups. We close the paper by discussing the uniform continuity of strongly continuous groups (T(t))_t∈R acting on Banach spaces with separable duals such that, for each t∈R, the essential spectrum of T(t) is a finite set.     

On the equivalence of Lie symmetries and group representations

We consider families of linear, parabolic PDEs in n dimensions which possess Lie symmetry groups of dimension at least four. We identify the Lie symmetry groups of these equations with the (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group and SL(2,R). We then show that for PDEs of this type, the Lie symmetries may be regarded as global projective representations of the symmetry group. We construct explicit intertwining operators between the symmetries and certain classical projective representations of the symmetry groups. Banach algebras of symmetries are introduced.     

Lévy Processes in a Step 3 Nilpotent Lie Group

The infinitesimal generators of Lévy processes in Euclidean space are pseudodifferential operators with symbols given by the Lévy-Khintchine formula. This classical analysis relies heavily on Fourier analysis which, in the case when the state space is a Lie group, becomes much more subtle. Still the notion of pseudo-differential operators can be extended to connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups by employing the Weyl functional calculus. With respect to this definition, the generators of Lévy processes in the simplest step 3 nilpotent Lie group G are pseudodifferential operators which admit C _c (G) as its core.     

p-Adic wavelets and their applications

The theory of p-adic wavelets is presented. One-dimensional and multidimensional wavelet bases and their relation to the spectral theory of pseudodifferential operators are discussed. For the first time, bases of compactly supported eigenvectors for p-adic pseudodifferential operators were considered by V.S. Vladimirov. In contrast to real wavelets, p-adic wavelets are related to the group representation theory; namely, the frames of p-adic wavelets are the orbits of p-adic transformation groups (systems of coherent states). A p-adic multiresolution analysis is considered and is shown to be a particular case of the construction of a p-adic wavelet frame as an orbit of the action of the affine group.     

Weighted norm inequalities, Gaussian bounds and sharp spectral multipliers

Let L be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on L²(X) where X is a space of homogeneous type. Assume that L generates a holomorphic semigroup e−tL whose kernels pt(x,y) have Gaussian upper bounds but there is no assumption on the regularity in variables x and y. In this article, we study weighted Lp-norm inequalities for spectral multipliers of L. We show that sharp weighted Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorems follow from Gaussian heat kernel bounds and appropriate L² estimates of the kernels of the spectral multipliers. These results are applicable to spectral multipliers for large classes of operators including Laplace operators acting on Lie groups of polynomial growth or irregular non-doubling domains of Euclidean spaces, elliptic operators on compact manifolds and Schrödinger operators with non-negative potentials.     

Approximation numbers of bounded operators

The theory of ideals of linear operators is well developed and has a lot of applications in theory and practise. The purpose of this paper is to give a first idea of a similar theory for bounded (nonlinear) operators. In view of applications we will not give an abstract (perhaps general nonsense) theory, but an example of a class λ_p of bounded operators with a structure similar to an $\text{L}$-module($\text{L}$ represents the class of all linear operators between Banach spaces), and applications to projection methods for solving equations with λ_p-type operators.     

Criteria for the compactness and the Fredholm property of pseudodifferential operators in Hölder-Zygmund weighted spaces

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the complete continuity (the Fredholm property) in Hölder-Zygmund spaces on ? ⁿ whose weight has a power-law behavior at infinity for pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the Hörmander class S _1,δ ^m , 0 ≤ δ < 1 (slowly varying symbols in the class S _1,0 ^m ). We show that such operators are compact operators or Fredholm operators in weighted Hölder-Zygmund spaces if and only if they are compact operators or Fredholm operators, respectively, in Sobolev spaces.
