Littlewood–Paley theorem on spaces <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)</Superscript>(ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>)

We point out that if the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the space L ^p(t)(ℝ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ, then the well-known characterization of the spaces L ^p (ℝ), 1 < p < ∞, by the Littlewood–Paley theory extends to the space L ^p(t)(ℝ). We show that, for n > 1 , the Littlewood–Paley operator is bounded on L ^p(t) (ℝ ⁿ ), 1 < a ≤ p(t) ≤ b < ∞, t ∈ ℝ ⁿ , if and only if p(t) = const.

On the value distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ƒ</Emphasis> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">ƒ</Emphasis>′)<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

Let ƒ be a transcendental meromorphic function, a a nonzero finite complex number, and n ⩾ 2 a positive integer. Then ƒ + a(ƒ′) ⁿ assumes every complex value infinitely often. This answers a question of Ye for n = 2. A related normality criterion is also given.

Degenerations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>[<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>]/(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis><Superscript>r</Superscript>)-Modules Giving Stratification of the Orbits

Let Λ be a finitely generated associative k-algebra where k is an algebraically closed field. For each natural number d, we have the variety of d-dimensional module structures on k^d given by the multiplication of the elements from a generating set of Λ. The general linear group Gl_d(k) acts on this variety by conjugation and the orbits under this action correspond to isomorphism classes of d-dimensional Λ-modules. For two d-dimensional Λ-modules M and N one says that M degenerates to N if the orbit corresponding to N is in the Zariski-closure of the orbit corresponding to M. Now in this situation the stabilizers of the elements in the orbit corresponding to N acts on the orbit corresponding to M. In this paper we characterize degenerations of k[t]/(t^r)-modules with the property that for each y in the orbit corresponding to N, there is an x_y in the orbit corresponding to M such that the orbit corresponding to M is the disjoint union of orbits of the x_y’s under the action of the stabilizer of y where y runs through the orbit corresponding to N.

3-Selmer groups for curves <Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> = <Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis><Superscript>3</Superscript> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>

We explicitly perform some steps of a 3-descent algorithm for the curves y ² = x ³ + a, a a nonzero integer. In general this will enable us to bound the order of the 3-Selmer group of such curves.     

Consecutive customer losses in regular and oscillating <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis></Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>/1/<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> systems

We derive fast recursions to compute the probability that k or more consecutive customer losses take place during a busy period of a queue, the so called k-CCL probability, for regular and oscillating M ^X /G/1/n systems.     

SOME NEW PROPERTIES ON L^p（Ω, H^n）

Let L^p（Ω, H^n） indicate the L^P-space of the maps for Heisenberg group target. In this paper some new properties are obtained for the space L^p（Ω, H^n）     

Harnack estimate for the <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis></Superscript>-flow

We obtain the Harnack estimate of the solution to Hk-flow in Euclidean space Rn 1,for k ＞ 0.By using this estimate,we get some corollaries about the translation soliton.     

Composite Integers n for Which φ（n）｜n- 1

In this note, we show that the number of composite integers n ≤ x such that φ（n）｜n - 1 is at most O（x^1/2（loglog x）^1/2）, thus improving earlier results by Pomerance and by Shan.     

Group invariance and <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-bounded operators

The Hilbert and Riesz transforms can be characterized up to scalar as the translation invariant operators that satisfy additionally certain relative invariance of conformal transformation groups. In this article, we initiate a systematic study of translation invariant operators from group theoretic viewpoints, and formalize a geometric condition that characterizes specific multiplier operators uniquely up to scalar by means of relative invariance of affine subgroups. After providing some interesting examples of multiplier operators having “large symmetry”, we classify which of these examples can be extended to continuous operators on L ^p (R ⁿ ) (1 < p < ∞). T.

On the ideal (<Emphasis Type="Italic">v</Emphasis><Superscript>0</Superscript>)

The σ-ideal (v ⁰) is associated with the Silver forcing, see [5]. Also, it constitutes the family of all completely doughnut null sets, see [9]. We introduce segment topologies to state some resemblances of (v ⁰) to the family of Ramsey null sets. To describe add(v ⁰) we adopt a proof of Base Matrix Lemma. Consistent results are stated, too. Halbeisen’s conjecture cov(v ⁰) = add(v ⁰) is confirmed under the hypothesis t = min{cf(c), r}. The hypothesis cov(v ⁰) = ω ₁ implies that (v ⁰) has the ideal type (c, ω ₁, c).

Analysis of GI<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">X</Emphasis></Superscript>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)//<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> systems with stochastic customer acceptance policy

We investigate GI ^X /M(n)//N systems with stochastic customer acceptance policy, function of the customer batch size and the number of customers in the system at its arrival. We address the time-dependent and long-run analysis of the number of customers in the system at prearrivals and postarrivals of batches and seen by customers at their arrival to the system, as well as customer blocking probabilities. These results are then used to derive the continuous-time long-run distribution of the number of customers in the system. Our analysis combines Markov chain embedding with uniformization and uses stochastic ordering as a way to bound the errors of the computed performance measures.      

Semiclassical <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript> Estimates

The purpose of this paper is to use semiclassical analysis to unify and generalize L ^p estimates on high energy eigenfunctions and spectral clusters. In our approach these estimates do not depend on ellipticity and order, and apply to operators which are selfadjoint only at the principal level. They are estimates on weakly approximate solutions to semiclassical pseudodifferential equations. Submitted: May 11, 2006. Accepted: September 19, 2006.     

New examples of Cantor sets in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript> that are not <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript>1</Superscript>-minimal

Although every Cantor subset of the circle (S¹) is the minimal set of some homeomorphism of S¹, not every such set is minimal for a C¹ diffeomorphism of S¹. In this work, we construct new examples of Cantor sets in S¹ that are not minimal for any C¹-diffeomorphim of S¹.     

Extensions of Well-Boundedness and <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Superscript>-Scalarity

We consider some extensions of well-boundedness and C^m-scalarity by using fractional calculus, and prove some theorems accordingly. These results are applied to the usual Laplacian on Rⁿ and sub-Laplacians on nilpotent Lie groups.

Spectral flexibility of symplectic manifolds <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>

We consider Riemannian metrics compatible with the natural symplectic structure on T ² × M, where T ² is a symplectic 2-torus and M is a closed symplectic manifold. To each such metric we attach the corresponding Laplacian and consider its first positive eigenvalue λ₁. We show that λ₁ can be made arbitrarily large by deforming the metric structure, keeping the symplectic structure fixed. The conjecture is that the same is true for any symplectic manifold of dimension ≥ 4. We reduce the general conjecture to a purely symplectic question.     

The first <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-cohomology of some groups with one end

Let p be a real number greater than one. In this paper we study the vanishing and nonvanishing of the first L ^p -cohomology space of some groups that have one end. We also make a connection between the first L ^p -cohomolgy space and the Floyd boundary of the Cayley graph of a group. We apply the result about Floyd boundaries to show that there exists a real number p such that the first L ^p -cohomology space of a nonelementary hyperbolic group does not vanish.
