Homogeneous Einstein-Randers metrics on spheres

In this paper, we study the homogeneous Einstein-Randers metrics on spheres. It turns out that we can find out all the homogeneous non-Riemannian Einstein-Randers metrics on spheres. Furthermore, we obtain a complete classification of such metrics under isometries. Using this, we present a large number of homogeneous Einstein-Randers metrics of non-constant flag curvature.     

The S-curvature of homogeneous Randers spaces

In this paper, we give an explicit formula of the S-curvature of homogeneous Randers spaces and prove that a homogeneous Randers space with almost isotropic S-curvature must have vanishing S-curvature. As an application, we obtain a classification of homogeneous Randers space with almost isotropic S-curvature in some special cases. Some examples are also given.     

Curvatures of homogeneous Randers spaces

We study curvatures of homogeneous Randers spaces. After deducing the coordinate-free formulas of the flag curvature and Ricci scalar of homogeneous Randers spaces, we give several applications. We first present a direct proof of the fact that a homogeneous Randers space is Ricci quadratic if and only if it is a Berwald space. We then prove that any left invariant Randers metric on a non-commutative nilpotent Lie group must have three flags whose flag curvature is positive, negative and zero, respectively. This generalizes a result of J.A. Wolf on Riemannian metrics. We prove a conjecture of J. Milnor on the characterization of central elements of a real Lie algebra, in a more generalized sense. Finally, we study homogeneous Finsler spaces of positive flag curvature and particularly prove that the only compact connected simply connected Lie group admitting a left invariant Finsler metric with positive flag curvature is SU(2)$\text{SU}\left(2\right)$.     

Generalized resolvent matrices and spaces of analytic functions

We introduce triplet spaces for symmetric relations with defect index (1, 1) in a Pontryagin space. Representations of Pontryagin spaces by spaces of vector-valued analytic functions are investigated. These concepts are used to study 2×2-matrix valued analytic functions which satisfy a certain kernel condition.     

Some Finsler spaces with homogeneous geodesics

A geodesic in a homogeneous Finsler space is called a homogeneous geodesic if it is an orbit of a one‐parameter subgroup of G . A homogeneous Finsler space is called Finsler g.o. space if its all geodesics are homogeneous. Recently, the author studied Finsler g.o. spaces and generalized some geometric results on Riemannian g.o. spaces to the Finslerian setting. In the present paper, we investigate homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous spaces, and obtain the sufficient and necessary condition for an space to be a g.o. space. As an application, we get a series of new examples of Finsler g.o. spaces.     

On the structure of Bergman and poly-Bergman spaces

Let II be the upper half-plane in, consider the Bergman space , the subspace of all analytic functions fromL ₂(II). The complete decomposition ofL ₂(II) onto Bergman and Bergman type spaces of poly-analytic and poly-anti-analytic functions is obtained. The orthogonal Bergman type projections onto each of these subspaces are described. Connections with the Hardy spaces and the Szegö projections are established.This work was partially supported by CONACYT Project 3114P-E9607, México.     

Smooth group representations on bornological vector spaces

We develop the basic theory of smooth representations of locally compact groups on bornological vector spaces. In this setup, we are able to formulate better general theorems than in the topological case. Nonetheless, smooth representations of totally disconnected groups on vector spaces and of Lie groups on Fréchet spaces remain special cases of our theory. We identify smooth representations with essential modules over an appropriate convolution algebra. We examine smoothening functors on representations and modules and show that they agree if they are both defined. We establish the basic properties of induction and compact induction functors using adjoint functor techniques. We describe the center of the category of smooth representations.     

Fragmentability of groups and metric-valued function spaces

Let (X,τ) be a topological space and let ρ be a metric defined on X. We shall say that (X,τ) is fragmented by ρ if whenever ε>0 and A is a nonempty subset of X there is a τ-open set U such that U∩A≠∅ and ρ−diam(U∩A)<ε. In this paper we consider the notion of fragmentability, and its generalisation σ-fragmentability, in the setting of topological groups and metric-valued function spaces. We show that in the presence of Baireness fragmentability of a topological group is very close to metrizability of that group. We also show that for a compact Hausdorff space X, σ-fragmentability of (C(X),‖⋅_‖∞) implies that the space Cp(X;M) of all continuous functions from X into a metric space M, endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence on X, is fragmented by a metric whose topology is at least as strong as the uniform topology on C(X;M). The primary tool used is that of topological games.     

Pontryagin spaces of entire functions I

We give a generalization of L.de Branges theory of Hilbert spaces of entire functions to the Pontryagin space setting. The aim of this-first-part is to provide some basic results and to investigate subspaces of Pontryagin spaces of entire functions. Our method makes strong use of L.de Branges's results and of the extension theory of symmetric operators as developed by M.G.Krein.     

Highly curved orbit spaces

It is known that the infimum of the sectional curvatures (on the regular part) of orbit spaces of isometric actions on unit spheres is bounded above by 4. We show that the infimum is 1 for “most” actions, and determine the cases in which it is bigger than 1.     

Some fundamental properties for duals of Orlicz spaces

In this paper some basic properties of Orlicz spaces are extended to their dual spaces, and finally, criteria for extreme points in these spaces are given.     

Extreme differences between weakly open subsets and convex combinations of slices in Banach spaces

We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of _c0$c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its unit ball still contains convex combinations of slices with diameter arbitrarily small, which improves in an optimal way the known results about the size of this kind of subsets in Banach spaces.     

Quantum homogeneous spaces,duality and quantum 2-spheres

For a quantum groupG the notion of quantum homogeneousG-space is defined. Two methods to construct such spaces are discussed. The first one makes use of quantum subgroups, the second more general one is based upon the notion of infinitesimal invariance with respect to certain two-sided coideals in the Hopf algebra dual to the Hopf algebra ofG. These methods are applied to the quantum group SU(2). As two-sided coideals we take the subspaces spanned by twisted primitive elements in the sl(2) quantized universal enveloping algebra. A one-parameter series of mutually non-isomorphic quantum 2-spheres is obtained, together with the spectral decomposition of the corresponding right regular representation of quantum SU(2). The link with the quantum spheres defined by Podle is established.     

Affine Vogan diagrams and symmetric pairs

We introduce the affine Vogan diagrams of complex simple Lie algebras. These are generalizations of Vogan diagrams, and we study the involutions represented by them. We apply these diagrams to study the symmetric pairs, in particular the associated and symplectic symmetric pairs.     

Nearly strict convexity in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces

Criteria for nearly strict convexity of Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm are given. We also prove that, in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces generated by strictly convex Banach space, nearly strict convexity and strict convexity are equivalent.     

Noncreasy and uniformly noncreasy Orlicz-Bochner function spaces

We point out that uniform noncreasiness is a super-property in Banach spaces. Moreover, we prove that Orlicz-Bochner function spaces are noncreasy if and only if they are rotund or smooth. Finally, we obtain that Orlicz-Bochner function spaces are uniformly noncreasy if and only if they are uniformly rotund or uniformly smooth.     

Some function spaces on spaces of homogeneous type

We introduce Campanato, Morrey, BMO and Sobolev-type spaces for mappings from a space of homogeneous type into a complete metric space which possess properties comparable to their classical analogues. In particular we show integral characterizations, the validity of the John–Nirenberg theorem, Poincarè and Sobolev inequalities, Sobolev's embedding theorem and estimates on the pointwise behavior of Sobolev-type mappings.

Sobolev inequalities on homogeneous spaces

We consider a homogeneous spaceX=(X, d, m) of dimension 1 and a local regular Dirichlet forma inL ² (X, m). We prove that if a Poincaré inequality of exponent 1p< holds on every pseudo-ballB(x, R) ofX, then Sobolev and Nash inequalities of any exponentq[p, ), as well as Poincaré inequalities of any exponentq[p, +), also hold onB(x, R).Lavoro eseguito nell'ambito del Contratto CNR Strutture variazionali irregolari.
