Selfadjoint extensions of the operator of the Dirichlet problem in a 3-dimensional region with an edge

Taking various viewpoints, we study the selfadjoint extensions $ \mathcal{A} $ \mathcal{A} of the operator A of the Dirichlet problem in a 3-dimensional region Ω with an edge Γ. We identify the infinite dimensional nullspace def A with the Sobolev space H ^−ϰ(Γ) on Γ with variable smoothness exponent −ϰ ∈ (−1, 0); while the selfadjoint extensions, with selfadjoint operators $ \mathcal{T} $ \mathcal{T} on the subspaces of H ^−ϰ(Γ). To the boundary value problem in the region with a “smoothed” edge we associate a concrete extension, which yields a more precise approximate solution to the singularly perturbed problem.     

Distortio n theorems o n the Lie ball $$ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $$ ( n) i n ℂ n

In this paper, we introduce the subfamilies H _m ($ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n)) of holomorphic mappings defined on the Lie ball $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n) which reduce to the family of holomorphic mappings and the family of locally biholomorphic mappings when m = 1 and m → +∞, respectively. Various distortion theorems for holomophic mappings H _m ($ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n)) are established. The distortion theorems coincide with Liu and Minda’s as the special case of the unit disk. When m = 1 and m → +∞, the distortion theorems reduce to the results obtained by Gong for $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n), respectively. Moreover, our method is different. As an application, the bounds for Bloch constants of H _m ($ \mathcal{R}_{IV} $ \mathcal{R}_{IV} (n)) are given.     

Weak convergence in the dual of weak L<Superscript>p</Superscript>

We consider a Dedekind σ-complete Banach lattice E whose dual is weakly sequentially complete. Suppose that E has a positive element u and a family of positive operators $ \mathcal{G} $ \mathcal{G} such that

Smooth maps of a foliated manifold in a symplectic manifold

Let M be a smooth manifold with a regular foliation $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} and a 2-form ω which induces closed forms on the leaves of $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} in the leaf topology. A smooth map f: (M, $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} ) → (N, σ) in a symplectic manifold (N, σ) is called a foliated symplectic immersion if f restricts to an immersion on each leaf of the foliation and further, the restriction of f*σ is the same as the restriction of ω on each leaf of the foliation. If f is a foliated symplectic immersion then the derivative map Df gives rise to a bundle morphism F: TM → T N which restricts to a monomorphism on T $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} ⊆ T M and satisfies the condition F*σ = ω on T $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} . A natural question is whether the existence of such a bundle map F ensures the existence of a foliated symplectic immersion f. As we shall see in this paper, the obstruction to the existence of such an f is only topological in nature. The result is proved using the h-principle theory of Gromov.     

Deforming the Lie superalgebra of contact vector fields on <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1|2</Superscript> inside the Lie superalgebra of pseudodifferential operators on <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript>1|2</Superscript>

We classify deformations of the standard embedding of the Lie superalgebra $ \mathcal{K} $ \mathcal{K} (2) of contact vector fields on the (1, 2)-dimensional supercircle into the Lie superalgebra SΨD(S ^1|2 ) of pseudodifferential operators on the supercircle S ^1|2 . The proposed approach leads to the deformations of the central charge induced on $ \mathcal{K} $ \mathcal{K} (2) by the canonical central extension of SΨD(S ^1|2 ).     

A cohomological steinness criterion for holomorphically spreadable complex spaces

Let X be a complex space of dimension n, not necessarily reduced, whose cohomology groups H ¹(X, $ \mathcal{O} $ \mathcal{O} ), ...,H ⁿ⁻¹(X, $ \mathcal{O} $ \mathcal{O} ) are of finite dimension (as complex vector spaces). We show that X is Stein (resp., 1-convex) if, and only if, X is holomorphically spreadable (resp., X is holomorphically spreadable at infinity).     

On the shift semigroup on the Hardy space of Dirichlet series

We develop a Wold decomposition for the shift semigroup on the Hardy space $ \mathcal{H}^2 $ \mathcal{H}^2 of square summable Dirichlet series convergent in the half-plane $ \Re (s) > 1/2 $ \Re (s) > 1/2 . As an application we have that a shift invariant subspace of $ \mathcal{H}^2 $ \mathcal{H}^2 is unitarily equivalent to $ \mathcal{H}^2 $ \mathcal{H}^2 if and only if it has the form $ \phi \mathcal{H}^2 $ \phi \mathcal{H}^2 for some $ \mathcal{H}^2 $ \mathcal{H}^2 -inner function φ.     

Some approximants in operator algebras

In this paper we extend to C*-algebras and to von Neumann algebras some results on approximants that have previously been found in the context of $ \mathcal{L} $ \mathcal{L} (H) and of the von Neumann-Schatten classesC _p , 1⩽ p <∞. We obtain results concerning positive approximants, unitary and partially isometric approximants and commutator approximants; and we study paranormality. Our main tools are the Gelfand-naimark Theorem and Berntzen’s results on normal spectral approximation.     

On a bipartition problem of Bollobás and Scott

The bipartite density of a graph G is max {|E(H)|/|E(G)|: H is a bipartite subgraph of G}. It is NP-hard to determine the bipartite density of any triangle-free cubic graph. A biased maximum bipartite subgraph of a graph G is a bipartite subgraph of G with the maximum number of edges such that one of its partite sets is independent in G. Let $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} denote the collection of all connected cubic graphs which have bipartite density $ \tfrac{4} {5} $ \tfrac{4} {5} and contain biased maximum bipartite subgraphs. Bollobás and Scott asked which cubic graphs belong to $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} . This same problem was also proposed by Malle in 1982. We show that any graph in $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} can be reduced, through a sequence of three types of operations, to a member of a well characterized class. As a consequence, we give an algorithm that decides whether a given graph G belongs to $ \mathcal{H} $ \mathcal{H} . Our algorithm runs in polynomial time, provided that G has a constant number of triangles that are not blocks of G and do not share edges with any other triangles in G.     

Parametric estimation with a class of M-estimators

Consider a class of M-estimators indexed by a criterion function ψ. When the function ψ is taken to be in a class of functions $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} , a family of processes indexed by the class $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} is obtained and called M-processes. Pooling the M-estimators in such class may be used to define new kind of estimators. In order to get the asymptotic properties of these pooled estimators, the convergence in probability of the corresponding M-process is studied uniformly on $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} together with their weak convergence towards a Gaussian process. An application to location estimation is presented and discussed.     

Strict topology over the space of measures with continuous translations on a locally compact foundation semigroup

Let $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} be a locally compact semigroup, ω be a weight function on $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , and M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) be the weighted semigroup algebra of $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} . Let L ₀^∞ ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} ; M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)) be the C*-algebra of all M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)-measurable functions g on $ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} such that g/ω vanishes at infinity. We introduce and study a strict topology β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) on M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) and show that the Banach space L ₀^∞ ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} ; M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω)) can be identified with the dual of M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) endowed with β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω). We finally investigate some properties of the locally convex topology β ¹($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω) on M _a ($ \mathfrak{S} $ \mathfrak{S} , ω).     

A$\mathcal{T}$-algebras and extensions of A$\mathbb{T}$-algebras

Lin and Su classified A$ \mathcal{T} $ \mathcal{T} -algebras of real rank zero. This class includes all A$ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} -algebras of real rank zero as well as many C*-algebras which are not stably finite. An A$ \mathcal{T} $ \mathcal{T} -algebra often becomes an extension of an A$ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} -algebra by an AF-algebra. In this paper, we show that there is an essential extension of an A$ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} -algebra by an AF-algebra which is not an A$ \mathcal{T} $ \mathcal{T} -algebra. We describe a characterization of an extension E of an A$ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} -algebra by an AF-algebra if E is an A$ \mathcal{T} $ \mathcal{T} -algebra.     

Fourier-Feynman transforms of unbounded functionals on abstract Wiener space

Huffman, Park and Skoug established several results involving Fourier-Feynman transform and convolution for functionals in a Banach algebra S on the classical Wiener space. Chang, Kim and Yoo extended these results to abstract Wiener space for a more generalized Fresnel class $ \mathcal{F}_{\mathcal{A}_1 ,\mathcal{A}_2 } $ \mathcal{F}_{\mathcal{A}_1 ,\mathcal{A}_2 } _A1,A2 than the Fresnel class $ \mathcal{F} $ \mathcal{F} (B)which corresponds to the Banach algebra S. In this paper we study Fourier-Feynman transform, convolution and first variation of unbounded functionals on abstract Wiener space having the form

Automorphism group and representation of a twisted multi-loop algebra

Let G be the complexification of the real Lie algebra so（3） and A = C[t1^±1, t2^±1] be the Lau-ent polynomial algebra with commuting variables. Let L：（t1, t2, 1） = G c .A be the twisted multi-loop Lie algebra. Recently we have studied the universal central extension, derivations and its vertex operator representations. In the present paper we study the automorphism group and bosonic representations ofL（t1, t2, 1）.     

Descriptive set-theoretical properties of an abstract density operator

Let $ \mathcal{K} $ \mathcal{K} (ℝ) stand for the hyperspace of all nonempty compact sets on the real line and let d ^±(x;E) denote the (right- or left-hand) Lebesgue density of a measurable set E ⊂ ℝ at a point x∈ ℝ. In [3] it was proved that

Imaginary powers of a Laguerre differential operator

Imaginary powers associated to the Laguerre differential operator $ L_\alpha = - \Delta + |x|^2 + \sum _{i = 1}^d \frac{1} {{x_i^2 }}(\alpha _i^2 - 1/4) $ L_\alpha = - \Delta + |x|^2 + \sum _{i = 1}^d \frac{1} {{x_i^2 }}(\alpha _i^2 - 1/4) are investigated. It is proved that for every multi-index α = (α₁,...α _d ) such that α _i ≧ −1/2, α _i ∉ (−1/2, 1/2), the imaginary powers $ \mathcal{L}_\alpha ^{ - i\gamma } ,\gamma \in \mathbb{R} $ \mathcal{L}_\alpha ^{ - i\gamma } ,\gamma \in \mathbb{R} , of a self-adjoint extension of L _α, are Calderón-Zygmund operators. Consequently, mapping properties of $ \mathcal{L}_\alpha ^{ - i\gamma } $ \mathcal{L}_\alpha ^{ - i\gamma } follow by the general theory.     

Cardinalities of definable sets in superstructures over models

We introduce the notion of a superstructure over a model. This is a generalization of the notion of the hereditarily finite superstructure ℍ$ \mathbb{F}\mathfrak{M} $ \mathbb{F}\mathfrak{M} over a model $ \mathfrak{M} $ \mathfrak{M} . We consider the question on cardinalities of definable (interpretable) sets in superstructures over λ-homogeneous and λ-saturated models.     

Integral approximation of the characteristic function of an interval by trigonometric polynomials

We apply the results on the integral approximation of the characteristic function of an interval by the subspace $ \mathcal{T}_{n - 1} $ \mathcal{T}_{n - 1} of trigonometric polynomials of order at most n − 1, which were obtained by the authors earlier, to investigate the Jackson inequality between the best uniform approximation of a continuous periodic function by the subspace $ \mathcal{T}_{n - 1} $ \mathcal{T}_{n - 1} and its modulus of continuity of the second order. The corresponding method of the uniform approximation of continuous periodic functions by trigonometric polynomials is constructed.     

Wavelet approximation and Fourier widths of classes of periodic functions of several variables. I

We obtain characterizations (and prove the corresponding equivalence of norms) of function spaces B _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) and L _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) of Nikol’skii-Besov and Lizorkin-Triebel types, respectively, in terms of representations of functions in these spaces by Fourier series with respect to a multiple system $ \mathcal{W}_m^\mathbb{I} $ \mathcal{W}_m^\mathbb{I} of Meyer wavelets and in terms of sequences of the Fourier coefficients with respect to this system. We establish order-sharp estimates for the approximation of functions in B _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ) and L _pq ^sm ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) by special partial sums of these series in the metric of L _r ($ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} ^k ) for a number of relations between the parameters s, p, q, r, and m (s = (s ₁, ..., s _n ) ∈ ℝ₊ ⁿ , 1 ≤ p, q, r ≤ ∞, m = (m ₁, ..., m _n ) ∈ ℕ ⁿ , k = m ₁ +... + m _n , and $ \mathbb{I} $ \mathbb{I} = ℝ or $ \mathbb{T} $ \mathbb{T} ). In the periodic case, we study the Fourier widths of these function classes.
