Über die multiplikative Funktionalgleichung für stochastische Matrizen

Letγ(n, R) andγ ^* (n, R) stand for the semigroups of all stochastic and all invertible stochasticn × n real matrices respectively, and letK be a commutative field. The following theorem is proved in the paper. Every functionf :γ(n, R) → K orf :γ ^* (n, R) → K satisfying the multiplicative functional equationf(X)f(Y) = f(XY) is of the formf(X) = ψ(detX), whereψ: 〈?1, 1〉 → K orψ: 〈?1, 0) ∪ (0, 1〉 → →K, respectively, is an arbitrary multiplicative function. The concept of pseudostochastic matrix \(\left( {\sum\limits_{j = 1}^n {a_{ij} = 1} } \right)\) and the canonical form of such a matrix derived in [3] are used.     

Additive operators preserving rank-additivity on symmetry matrix spaces

We characterize the additive operators preserving rank-additivity on symmetry matrix spaces. LetS _n(F) be the space of alln×n symmetry matrices over a fieldF with 2,3 ∈F ^*, thenT is an additive injective operator preserving rank-additivity onS _n(F) if and only if there exists an invertible matrixU∈M _n(F) and an injective field homomorphism ? ofF to itself such thatT(X)=cUX ^?U^T, ?X=(x_ij)∈S_n(F) wherec∈F ^*,X ^?=(?(x _ij)). As applications, we determine the additive operators preserving minus-order onS _n(F) over the fieldF.     

Isothermic Submanifolds

We propose an answer to a question raised by F. Burstall: Is there any interesting theory of isothermic submanifolds of ? ⁿ of dimension greater than two? We call an n-immersion f(x) in ? ^m isothermic _k if the normal bundle of f is flat and x is a line of curvature coordinate system such that its induced metric is of the form $\sum_{i=1}^{n} g_{ii}\,\mathrm{d} x_{i}^{2}$ with $\sum_{i=1}^{n} \epsilon_{i} g_{ii}=0$ , where ?? _i =1 for 1??i??n?k and ?? _i =?1 for n?k<i??n. A smooth map (f ₁,??,f _n ) from an open subset ${\mathcal{O}}$ of ? ⁿ to the space of m×n matrices is called an n-tuple of isothermic _k n-submanifolds in ? ^m if each f _i is an isothermic _k immersion, $(f_{i})_{x_{j}}$ is parallel to $(f_{1})_{x_{j}}$ for all 1??i,j??n, and there exists an orthonormal frame (e ₁,??,e _n ) and a GL(n)-valued map (a _ij ) such that $\mathrm{d}f_{i}= \sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{ij} e_{j}\,\mathrm {d} x_{j}$ for 1??i??n. Isothermic₁ surfaces in ?³ are the classical isothermic surfaces in ?³. Isothermic _k submanifolds in ? ^m are invariant under conformal transformations. We show that the equation for n-tuples of isothermic _k n-submanifolds in ? ^m is the $\frac{O(m+n-k,k)}{O(m)\times O(n-k,k)}$ -system, which is an integrable system. Methods from soliton theory can therefore be used to construct Christoffel, Ribaucour, and Lie transforms, and to describe the moduli spaces of these geometric objects and their loop group symmetries.     

On the speed of convergence in the ergodic theorem

Given any ergodic invertible measure preserving transformation τ of [0,1] and any null-sequence (α _N ) of positive reals, there exists a continuousf such that $$\lim \sup \alpha _{\rm N}^{ - 1} \left| {N^{ - 1} \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{N - 1} {f \circ \tau ^k - \smallint f} } \right| = \infty a. e.,$$ i.e. there is no “speed of convergence” in the ergodic theorem for any τ. The analogous result holds also for norm-convergence.

Algebraic-polynomial approximation of functions satisfying a Lipschitz condition

For functionsf(x) ε KH^(α) [satisfying the Lipschitz condition of order α (0 < α < 1) with constant K on [?1, 1], the existence is proved of a sequence P_n (f; x) of algebraic polynomials of degree n = 1, 2,..., such that $$|f(x) - P_{n - 1} (f;x)| \leqslant \mathop {\sup }\limits_{f \in KH^{(\alpha )} } E_n (f)[(1 - x^2 )^{a/2} + o(1)],$$ when n → ∞, uniformly for x ε [?1, 1], where E_n(f) is the best approximation off(x) by polynomials of degree not higher than n.     

Ranges of certain functionals in classes of regular functions

LetP _κ,n (λ,β) be the class of functions \(g(z) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{v = n}^\infty {c_\gamma z^v }\) , regular in ¦z¦<1 and satisfying the condition $$\int_0^{2\pi } {\left| {\operatorname{Re} \left[ {e^{i\lambda } g(z) - \beta \cos \lambda } \right]} \right|} /\left( {1 - \beta } \right)\cos \lambda \left| {d\theta \leqslant \kappa \pi ,} \right.z = re^{i\theta } ,$$ , 0 < r < 1 (κ?2,n?1, 0?Β<1, -π<λ<π/2;M _κ,n (λ,β,α),n?2, is the class of functions \(f(z) = z + \sum\nolimits_{v = n}^\infty {a_v z^v }\) , regular in¦z¦<1 and such thatF _α(z)∈P _κ,n?1(λ,β), where \(F_\alpha (z) = (1 - \alpha )\frac{{zf'(z)}}{{f(z)}} + \alpha (1 + \frac{{zf'(z)}}{{f'(z)}})\) (0?α?1). Onr considers the problem regarding the range of the system {g ^(v?1)(z_?)/(v?1)!}, ?=1,2,...,m,v=1,2,...,N _?, on the classP _κ,1(λ,β). On the classesP _κ,n (λ,β),M _κ,n (λ,β,α) one finds the ranges of C_v, v?n, a_m, n?m?2n-2, and ofg(?),F _?(?), 0<¦ξ¦<1, ξ is fixed.     

The push-out space of immersed spheres

Let f: M ^m → ? ^m+1 be an immersion of an orientable m-dimensional connected smooth manifold M without boundary and assume that ξ is a unit normal field for f. For a real number t the map f _tξ: M ^m → ? ^m+1 is defined as f _tξ(p) = f(p) + tξ(p). It is known that if f _tξ is an immersion, then for each p ∈ M the number of the focal points on the line segment joining f(p) to f _tξ(p) is a constant integer. This constant integer is called the index of the parallel immersion f _tξ and clearly the index lies between 0 and m. In case f: $\mathbb{S}^m \to \mathbb{R}^{m + 1} $ is an immersion, we study the presence of a component of index μ in the push-out space Ω(f). If there exists a component with index μ = m in Ω(f) then f is known to be a strictly convex embedding of $\mathbb{S}^m $ . We reveal the structure of Ω(f) when $f(\mathbb{S}^m )$ is convex and nonconvex. We also show that the presence of a component of index μ in Ω(f) enables us to construct a continuous field of tangent planes of dimension μ on $\mathbb{S}^m $ and so we see that for certain values of μ there does not exist a component of index μ in Ω(f).     

Pointwise and uniform estimates for convex approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials

Let Δ ^q be the set of functionsf for which theqth difference, is nonnegative on the interval [? 1,1],P _n is the set of algebraic polynomials of degree not exceedingn, τ _k (f, δ) _p is the averaged Sendov-Popov modulus of smoothness in theL _p [?1,1] metric for 1≦p≦∞, ω _k (f, δ) and $\omega _\phi ^k (f,\delta ),\phi (x): = \sqrt {1 - x^2 } ,$ , are the usual modulus and the Ditzian-Totik modulus of smoothness in the uniform metric, respectively. For a functionf∈C[?1,1]?Δ² we construct a polynomialp _n ∈P _n ?Δ² such that $$\begin{gathered} \left| {f(x) - p_n (x)} \right| \leqslant C\omega _3 (f,n^{ - 1} \sqrt {1 - x^2 } + n^{ - 2} ),x \in [ - 1,1]; \hfill \\ \left\| {f - p_n } \right\|_\infty \leqslant C\omega _\phi ^3 (f,n^{ - 1} ); \hfill \\ \left\| {f - p_n } \right\|_p \leqslant C\tau _3 (f,n^{ - 1} )_p . \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ As a consequence, for a functionf∈C ²[?1,1]?Δ³ a polynomialp _n ^* ∈P _n ?Δ³ exists such that $$\left\| {f - p_n^* } \right\|_\infty \leqslant Cn^{ - 1} \omega _2 (f\prime ,n^{ - 1} ),$$ wheren≥2 andC is an absolute constant.     

Estimate of a complete rational trigonometric sum

Supposef is a polynomial of degree n≥3 with integral coefficientsa ₀,a ₁,...,a _n; q is a natural number; (a ₁,...,a _n, q)=1,f(0) = 0. It is proved that $$\left| {\sum\nolimits_{x = 1}^q {e^{2\pi if(x)/q} } } \right|< e^{5n^2 /\ln n} q^{1 - 1/n} $$ .     

Dual partially harmonic tensors and Brauer-Schur-Weyl duality

Let V be a 2m-dimensional symplectic vector space over an algebraically closed field K. Let $ \mathfrak{B}_n^{(f)} Let V be a 2m-dimensional symplectic vector space over an algebraically closed field K. Let \mathfrakB_n^(f) \mathfrak{B}_n^{(f)} be the two-sided ideal of the Brauer algebra \mathfrakB_n( - 2m ) {\mathfrak{B}_n}\left( { - 2m} \right) over K generated by e ₁ e _3⋯ e _2f-1 where 0 ≤ f ≤ [n/2]. Let HT_f ^?n \mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_f^{ \otimes n} be the subspace of partial-harmonic tensors of valence f in V ^⊗n . In this paper we prove that dimHT_f ^?n \mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_f^{ \otimes n} and dim \textEn\textd_K\textSp(V)( V ^?n \mathord

Some results on non-linear recurrence

We study the behavior of measure-preserving systems with continuous time along sequences of the form {n ^α}n∈#x2115;} where α is a positive real number¹. Let {S ^t } _t∈? be an ergodic continuous measure preserving flow on a probability Lebesgue space (X, β, μ). Among other results we show that:

1. For all but countably many α (in particular, for all α∈???) one can find anL ^∞-functionf for which the averagesA _N (f)(1/N)=Σ _n=1 ^N f(S ^nα x) fail to converge almost everywhere (the convergence in norm holds for any α!).
2. For any non-integer and pairwise distinct numbers α₁, α₂,..., α _k ∈(0, 1) and anyL ^∞-functionsf ₁,f ₂, ...,f _k , one has $$\mathop {lim}\limits_{N \to \infty } \left\| {\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{n - 1}^N {\prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {f_i (S^{n^{\alpha _i } } x) - \prod\limits_{i - 1}^k {\int_X {f_i d\mu } } } } } \right\|_{L^2 } = 0$$

We also show that Furstenberg’s correspondence principle fails for ?-actions by demonstrating that for all but a countably many α>0 there exists a setE?? having densityd(E)=1/2 such that, for alln∈?, $$d(E \cap (E - n^\alpha )) = 0$$ .

An isometrical ℂP<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>-theorem

Let M ⁿ (n ? 3) be a complete Riemannian manifold with sec _M ? 1, and let \(M_i^{n_i }\) (i = 1, 2) be two complete totally geodesic submanifolds in M. We prove that if n₁ + n₂ = n ? 2 and if the distance |M₁M₂| ? π/2, then M _i is isometric to \(\mathbb{S}^{n_i } /\mathbb{Z}_h\), \(\mathbb{C}P^{n_i /2}\), or \(\mathbb{C}P^{n_i /2} /\mathbb{Z}_2 \) with the canonical metric when n _i > 0; and thus, M is isometric to S ⁿ /? _h , ?P^n/2, or ?P^n/2/?₂ except possibly when n = 3 and \(M_1 (or M_2 )\mathop \cong \limits^{iso} \mathbb{S}^1 /\mathbb{Z}_h \) with h ? 2 or n = 4 and \(M_1 (or M_2 )\mathop \cong \limits^{iso} \mathbb{R}P^2 \).     

Zeros of analytic functions and norms of inverse matrices

Letk _n be the smallest constant such that for anyn-dimensional normed spaceX and any invertible linear operatorT ∈L(X) we have $|\det (T)| \cdot ||T^{ - 1} || \le k_n |||T|^{n - 1} $ . LetA ₊ be the Banach space of all analytic functionsf(z)=Σ _k≥0 a _kz^k on the unit diskD with absolutely convergent Taylor series, and let ‖f‖A ₊=σ _k≥0 |ακ|; define ? _n on $\overline D ^n $ by $ \begin{array}{l} \varphi _n \left( {\lambda _1 ,...,\lambda _n } \right) \\ = inf\left\{ {\left\| f \right\|_{A + } - \left| {f\left( 0 \right)} \right|; f\left( z \right) = g\left( z \right)\prod\limits_{i = 1}^n {\left( {\lambda _1 - z} \right), } g \in A_ + , g\left( 0 \right) = 1 } \right\} \\ \end{array} $ . We show thatk _n=sup {? _n(λ₁,…, λ _n ); (λ₁,…, λ _n )∈ $\overline D ^n $ }. Moreover, ifS is the left shift operator on the space ?∞:S(x ₀,x ₁, …,x _p, …)=(x ₁,…,x _p,…) and if J_n(S) denotes the set of allS-invariantn-dimensional subspaces of ?∞ on whichS is invertible, we have $k_n = \sup \{ |\det (S|_E )|||(S|_E )^{ - 1} ||E \in J_n (S)\} $ . J. J. Schäffer (1970) proved thatk _n≤√en and conjectured thatk _n=2, forn≥2. In factk ₃>2 and using the preceding results, we show that, up to a logarithmic factor,k _n is of the order of √n whenn→+∞.     

Long time small solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations

A sharp result on global small solutions to the Cauchy problem $$u_t = \Delta u + f\left( {u,Du,D^2 u,u_t } \right)\left( {t > 0} \right),u\left( 0 \right) = u_0 $$ In Rⁿ is obtained under the the assumption thatf is C^1+r forr>2/n and ‖u ₀‖C²(R ⁿ ) +‖u ₀‖W ₁ ² (R ⁿ ) is small. This implies that the assumption thatf is smooth and ‖u ₀ ‖W ₁ ^k (R ⁿ )+‖u ₀‖W ₂ ^k (R ⁿ ) is small fork large enough, made in earlier work, is unnecessary.     

Copositive pointwise approximation

We prove that if a functionf ∈C ⁽¹⁾ (I),I: = [?1, 1], changes its signs times (s ∈ ?) within the intervalI, then, for everyn > C, whereC is a constant which depends only on the set of points at which the function changes its sign, andk ∈ ?, there exists an algebraic polynomialP _n =P _n (x) of degree ≤n which locally inherits the sign off(x) and satisfies the inequality $$\left| {f\left( x \right) - P_n \left( x \right)} \right| \leqslant c\left( {s,k} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{n^2 }} + \frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }}{n}} \right)\omega _k \left( {f'; \frac{1}{{n^2 }} + \frac{{\sqrt {1 - x^2 } }}{n}} \right), x \in I$$ , where ω _k (f′;t) is thekth modulus of continuity of the functionf’. It is also shown that iff ∈C (I) andf(x) ≥ 0,x ∈I then, for anyn ≥k ? 1, there exists a polynomialP _n =P _n (x) of degree ≤n such thatP _n (x) ≥ 0,x ∈I, and |f(x) ?P _n (x)| ≤c(k)ω _k (f;n ^?2 +n ^?1 √1 ?x ²),x ∈I.     

Multiplikatorsysteme der symplektischen Thetagruppe

Let Γ_θ be the subgroup of Siegel modular groupSp(n, ?) consisting of all matrices \(M = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {A B} \\ {C D} \\ \end{array} } \right)\) , such that the diagonal elements ofA ^t C andB ^t D are even. A multiplier system of weightr(∈?) is a system of complex numbers ν (M)≠0,M∈Γ_θ, such thatJ (M, Z)=ν(M) det(CZ+D) ^r is an automorphy factor (that isJ (M N, Z)=J (M, N Z) J (N, Z) forM, N ∈Sp(n,?) and $$Z \in S_n = \left\{ {Z = X + i Y \in M^{(n,n)} (\mathbb{C}); X = X^t , Y = Y^t > 0} \right\})$$ . We show that in casen≥2 such a multiplier system exists if and only if 2r∈?. A corollary of this fact is the following. From the cohomology theory of Siegel modular group we derive that in casen≥8 any Γ_θ-invariant divisor is the exact zero divisor of a modular form for Γ_θ. Therefore the zero divisor of classical theta function \(\theta (Z) = \sum\limits_{g \in \mathbb{Z}^n } {e^{\pi iZ[g]} } \) , a modular form of weight 1/2 is irreducible. In the second part of this paper we calculate the commutator factor group of Γ _{n, θ} forn≥2.     

A note on strong summability of two-dimensional Walsh-Fourier series

The paper deals with the strong summability of Marcinkiewicz means with a variable power. Let $$H_n \left( {f,x,y,A_n } \right): = \tfrac{1} {n}\sum\nolimits_{l = 1}^n {\left( {e^{\left. {A_n } \right|\left. {S_{ll} \left( {f,x,y} \right) - f\left( {x,y} \right)} \right|^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } - 1} \right)} .$$ It is shown that if A _n ↑ ∞ arbitrary slowly, there exists f ∈ C(I ²) such that lim _n→∞ H _n (f, 0, 0, A _n ) = +∞. At the same time, for every f ∈ C (I ²) there exists A _n (f) ↑ ∞ such that lim _n→∞ H _n (f, x, y, A _n ) = 0 uniformly on I ².     

On Laplace derivative

If f: ? → ? is integrable in a right neighbourhood of x ∈ ? and if there are real numbers α ₀, α ₁, ..., α _n?1 such that the limit lim $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{s \to \infty } s^{n + 1} \int_0^\delta {e^{ - st} } \left[ {f(x + t) - \sum\limits_{i = 0}^{n - 1} {\frac{{t^i }} {{i!}}\alpha _i } } \right]dt $$ exists, then this limit is called the right-hand Laplace derivative of f at x of order n and is denoted by LD _n ⁺ f(x). There is a corresponding definition for the left-hand derivative and if they are equal the common value is the Laplace derivative LD _n f(x). In this paper, it is shown that the basic properties of the Peano derivatives are also possessed by this derivative (cf. [5]).
