Sequence Spaces l p,q in Probabilistic Characterizations of Weak Type Operators

We study operators (not necessarily linear) defined on a quasi-Bahach space X and taking values in the space of real-valued Lebesgue-measurable functions. Factorization theorems for linear and superlinear operators with values in the space are proved with the help of the Lorentz sequence spaces . Sequences of functions belonging to fixed bounded sets in the spaces are characterized for and . The possibility of distinguishing weak type operators (bounded in the space ) from operators factorizable through is obtained in terms of sequences of independent random variables. A criterion under which an operator is symmetrically bounded in order in , is established. Some refinements of the above-mentioned results are obtained for translation shift-invariant sets and operators. Bibliography: 30 titles.

A bi-Lipschitz continuous mapping of a space X is a bijection such that , where . We write if f is a Lipschitz (bi-Lipschitz) mapping of X into itself and denote by the set of all bi-Lipschitz mappings of X that are not isometry. Thus, if and blip . For X we consider a standard Cantor set K on the real line (with standard metric). The main result of this paper is formulated as follows: where Bibliography: 2 titles.

Extremal Decomposition Problems in the Space of Riemann Surfaces

An extension of a theorem on extremal decomposition of a Riemann surface is obtained. The problem of extremal decomposition is extended from the case of a Riemann surface with a prescribed set of distinguished points to the case of the Teichmüller space corresponding to under quasiconformal homeomorphisms f. For the functional of our problem on extremal decomposition of a surface , we consider a function expressing the dependence of the extremal value of on a point . Differentiation formulas for the function are derived. These formulas are different and depend on the genus g of the surface . The case where the function is pluriharmonic is considered.

On Asymptotic Behavior of Increments of Sums Along Head Runs

Let be a sequence of independent equidistributed random vectors with . Let , where and denotes the indicator function of the event in brackets. If, for example, are the gains and are the indicators of success in repetitions of a game of chance, then is the maximal gain along head runs (sequences of successes without interruptions) of length j. We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the values , , where is the length of the longest head run in . We show that the asymptotics of the values depend significantly on the growth rate of j and that these asymptotics vary from the strong noninvariance (as in the ErdsRéenyi law of large numbers) to the strong invariance (as in the CsöorgRévész strong approximation laws). We also consider the Shepp-type statistics. Bibliography: 17 titles.     

Continuous Functors and Duality

Let be an associative ring with identity, and let be the category of left unitary -modules. A complete characterization of continuous additive co- and contravariant functors is given. Such functors are either representable, or equivalent to a tensor product, or trivial ones. The class of categories that are dual to and, therefore, are equivalent to the category of compact right -modules is constructed by purely algebraic means. A canonical category is singled out in this class. A purely algebraic structure that is equivalent to the topology-algebraic structure of compact right -modules is constructed. Algebraic analogs of connection and complete disconnection are given. Bibliography: 6 titles.

Sharp Conditions for the CLT of Linear Processes in a Hilbert Space

In this paper we study the behavior of sums of a linear process associated to a strictly stationary sequence with values in a real separable Hilbert space and are linear operators from H to H. One of the results is that satisfies the CLT provided are i.i.d. centered having finite second moments and . We shall provide an example which shows that the condition on the operators is essentially sharp. Extensions of this result are given for sequences of weak dependent random variables under minimal conditions.
