Riesz transforms on a solvable Lie group of polynomial growth

We study Riesz transforms associated with a sublaplacian H on a solvable Lie group G, where G has polynomial volume growth. It is known that the standard second order Riesz transforms corresponding to H are generally unbounded in L^p(G). In this paper, we establish boundedness in L^p for modified second order Riesz transforms, which are defined using derivatives on a nilpotent group G_N associated with G. Our method utilizes a new algebraic approach which associates a distinguished choice of Cartan subalgebra with the sublaplacian H. We also obtain estimates for higher derivatives of the heat kernel of H, and give a new proof (without the use of homogenization theory) of the boundedness of first order Riesz transforms. Our results can be generalized to an arbitrary (possibly non-solvable) Lie group of polynomial growth.     

2-Universally complete Riesz spaces and inverse-closed Riesz spaces

In this paper we show mainly two results about uniformly closed Riesz subspaces of ?^X containing the constant functions. First, for such a Riesz subspace E, we solve the problem of determining the properties that a real continuous functiondefined on a proper open interval of ?should have in order that the conditions “E is closed under composition with ” and “E is closed under inversion in X” become equivalent. The second result, reformulated in the more general frame of the Archimedean Riesz spaces with weak order unit e, establishes that E (e-uniformly complete and e-semisimple) is closed under inversion in C(Spec E) if and only if E is 2-universally e-complete.     

Haar-like expansions and boundedness of a Riesz operator on a solvable Lie group

Consider the group of affine transformations of the line. Denote by X and Y the right-invariant vector fields corresponding to the s and t directions, respectively, and let We prove that the first-order Riesz operator is of weak type (1, 1) with respect to left Haar measure. This operator is therefore also bounded on . Our results provide answers, in a particular instance, to the open question of the boundedness of Riesz operators on Lie groups of exponential growth. The main parts of the proof concern the behaviour of the kernel of the operator at infinity, and exploit cancellation. A key technique is to use expansion with respect to scales of Haar-like functions. Received March 16, 1998; in final form June 22, 1998     

Riesz potentials and integral geometry in the space of rectangular matrices

Riesz potentials on the space of rectangular n×m matrices arise in diverse “higher rank” problems of harmonic analysis, representation theory, and integral geometry. In the rank-one case m=1 they coincide with the classical operators of Marcel Riesz. We develop new tools and obtain a number of new results for Riesz potentials of functions of matrix argument. The main topics are the Fourier transform technique, representation of Riesz potentials by convolutions with a positive measure supported by submanifolds of matrices of rank<m, the behavior on smooth and L^p functions. The results are applied to investigation of Radon transforms on the space of real rectangular matrices.     

On the variety of Riesz spaces

Finitely generated linearly ordered Riesz spaces are described, leading to a proof that the variety of Riesz spaces is generated as a quasivariety by the Riesz space ? of real numbers. The finitely generated Riesz spaces are also described: they are the subalgebras of real-valued function spaces on root systems of finite height.     

On Cantor-Bernstein type theorems in Riesz spaces

We generalize the main result of [21] to Riesz spaces. Let X and Y be Riesz spaces with σ-complete Boolean algebras of projection bands. If X and Y are each Riesz isomorphic to a projection band of the other space then the spaces are Riesz isomorphic. As an application of the above theorem we give an example of non-Riesz isomorphic Banach lattices such that: (1) their order (= topological) duals are Riesz isomorphic and (2) each of them is Riesz isomorphic to a projection band of the other one.     

Riesz Systems and Controllability of Heat Equations with Memory

The main result we derive is the proof that a particular set of functions related to the controllability of the heat equation with memory and finite signal speed, with suitable kernel, is a Riesz system. Riesz systems are important tools in applied mathematics, for example for the solution of inverse problems. In this paper we shows that the Riesz system we identify can be used to give a constructive method for the computation of the control steering a given initial condition to a prescribed target.

The expansion of a semigroup and a Riesz basis criterion

Problems on the expansion of a semigroup and a criterion for being a Riesz basis are discussed in the present paper. Suppose that A is the generator of a C₀ semigroup on a Hilbert space and σ(A)=σ₁(A)∪σ₂(A) with σ₂(A) is consisted of isolated eigenvalues distributed in a vertical strip. It is proved that if σ₂(A) is separated and for each λ∈σ₂(A), the dimension of its root subspace is uniformly bounded, then the generalized eigenvectors associated with σ₂(A) form an L-basis. Under different conditions on the Riesz projection, the expansion of a semigroup is studied. In particular, a simple criterion for the generalized eigenvectors forming a Riesz basis is given. As an application, a heat exchanger problem with boundary feedback is investigated. It is proved that the heat exchanger system is a Riesz system in a suitable state Hilbert space.     

Conditional expectations on Riesz spaces

Conditional expectations operators acting on Riesz spaces are shown to commute with a class of principal band projections. Using the above commutation property, conditional expectation operators on Riesz spaces are shown to be averaging operators. Here the theory of f-algebras is used when defining multiplication on the Riesz spaces. This leads to the extension of these conditional expectation operators to their so-called natural domains, i.e., maximal domains for which the operators are both averaging operators and conditional expectations. The natural domain is in many aspects analogous to L¹.     

An analysis of the logic of Riesz spaces with strong unit

We study ?ukasiewicz logic enriched by a scalar multiplication with scalars in $[0,1]$. Its algebraic models, called Riesz MV-algebras, are, up to isomorphism, unit intervals of Riesz spaces with strong unit endowed with an appropriate structure. When only rational scalars are considered, one gets the class of DMV-algebras and a corresponding logical system. Our research follows two objectives. The first one is to deepen the connections between functional analysis and the logic of Riesz MV-algebras. The second one is to study the finitely presented MV-algebras, DMV-algebras and Riesz MV-algebras, connecting them from logical, algebraic and geometric perspective.     

On Order Bounded Subsets of Locally Solid Riesz Spaces

In a topological Riesz space there are two types of bounded subsets: order bounded subsets and topologically bounded subsets. It is natural to ask (1) whether an order bounded subset is topologically bounded and (2) whether a topologically bounded subset is order bounded. A classical result gives a partial answer to (1) by saying that an order bounded subset of a locally solid Riesz space is topologically bounded. This paper attempts to further investigate these two questions. In particular, we show that (i) there exists a non-locally solid topological Riesz space in which every order bounded subset is topologically bounded; (ii) if a topological Riesz space is not locally solid, an order bounded subset need not be topologically bounded; (iii) a topologically bounded subset need not be order bounded even in a locally convex-solid Riesz space. Next, we show that (iv) if a locally solid Riesz space has an order bounded topological neighborhood of zero, then every topologically bounded subset is order bounded; (v) however, a locally convex-solid Riesz space may not possess an order bounded topological neighborhood of zero even if every topologically bounded subset is order bounded; (vi) a pseudometrizable locally solid Riesz space need not have an order bounded topological neighborhood of zero. In addition, we give some results about the relationship between order bounded subsets and positive homogeneous operators.     

Quasicompact and Riesz endomorphisms of Banach algebras

Let B be a unital commutative semi-simple Banach algebra. We study endomorphisms of B which are also quasicompact operators or Riesz operators. Clearly compact and power compact endomorphisms are Riesz and hence quasicompact. Several general theorems about quasicompact endomorphisms are proved, and these results are then applied to the question of when quasicompact or Riesz endomorphisms of certain algebras are necessarily power compact.     

Banach-Stone theorems and Riesz algebras

Let X, Y be compact Hausdorff spaces and let E, F be both Banach lattices and Riesz algebras. In this paper, the following main result shall be proved: If F has no zero-divisor and there exists a Riesz algebraic isomorphism such that Φ(f) has no zero if f has none, then X is homeomorphic to Y and E is Riesz algebraically isomorphic to F.     

Riesz ideals in generalized effect algebras and in their unitizations

We show that quotients of generalized effect algebras by Riesz ideals preserve some important special properties, e.g., homogeneity and hereditary Riesz decomposition properties; moreover, quotients of generalized orthoalgebras, weak generalized orthomodular posets, generalized orthomodular lattices and generalized MV-algebras with respect to Riesz ideals belong to the same class. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which a Riesz ideal I of a generalized effect algebra P is a Riesz ideal also in the unitization E of P. We also study relations between Riesz ideals and central elements in GEAs and in their unitizations. In the last section, we demonstrate the notion of Riesz ideals by some illustrative examples.

On the space of all regular operators between two Riesz spaces

We prove that for an Archimedean Riesz space E the following two conditions are equivalent. (A) For every Archimedean Riesz space F the regular linear operators of E into F form a Riesz space. (B) E is isomorphic to a direct sum of copies of ℝ.     

Riesz* homomorphisms on pre-Riesz spaces consisting of continuous functions

In the theory of operators on a Riesz space (vector lattice), an important result states that the Riesz homomorphisms (lattice homomorphisms) on C(X) are exactly the weighted composition operators. We extend this result to Riesz* homomorphisms on order dense subspaces of C(X). On those subspace we consider and compare various classes of operators that extend the notion of a Riesz homomorphism. Furthermore, using the weighted composition structure of Riesz* homomorphisms we obtain several results concerning bijective Riesz* homomorphisms. In particular, we characterize the automorphism group for order dense subspaces of C(X). Lastly, we develop a similar theory for Riesz* homomorphisms on subspace of \(C_0(X)\), for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, and apply it to smooth manifolds and Sobolev spaces.

Unbounded order continuous operators on Riesz spaces

In this paper, using the concept of unbounded order convergence in Riesz spaces, we define new classes of operators, named unbounded order continuous (uo-continuous, for short) and boundedly unbounded order continuous operators. We give some conditions under which uo-continuity will be equivalent to order continuity of some operators on Riesz spaces. We show that the collection of all uo-continuous linear functionals on a Riesz space E is a band of \(E^\sim \).     

Riesz basis for strongly continuous groups

Given a Hilbert space and the generator of a strongly continuous group on this Hilbert space. If the eigenvalues of the generator have a uniform gap, and if the span of the corresponding eigenvectors is dense, then these eigenvectors form a Riesz basis (or unconditional basis) of the Hilbert space. Furthermore, we show that none of the conditions can be weakened. However, if the eigenvalues (counted with multiplicity) can be grouped into subsets of at most K elements, and the distance between the groups is (uniformly) bounded away from zero, then the spectral projections associated to the groups form a Riesz family. This implies that if in every range of the spectral projection we construct an orthonormal basis, then the union of these bases is a Riesz basis in the Hilbert space.     

Stability theorems for Fourier frames and wavelet Riesz bases

In this paper we present two applications of a Stability Theorem of Hilbert frames to nonharmonic Fourier series and wavelet Riesz basis. The first result is an enhancement of the Paley-Wiener type constant for nonharmonic series given by Duffin and Schaefer in [6] and used recently in some applications (see [3]). In the case of an orthonormal basis, our estimate reduces to Kadec’ optimal 1/4 result. The second application proves that a phenomenon discovered by Daubechies and Tchamitchian [4] for the orthonormal Meyer wavelet basis (stability of the Riesz basis property under small changes of the translation parameter) actually holds for a large class of wavelet Riesz bases.
