Almost everywhere convergence of inverse Fourier transforms

We show that if , then the inverse Fourier transform of converges almost everywhere. Here the partial integrals in the Fourier inversion formula come from dilates of a closed bounded neighbourhood of the origin which is star shaped with respect to 0. Our proof is based on a simple application of the Rademacher-Menshov Theorem. In the special case of spherical partial integrals, the theorem was proved by Carbery and Soria. We obtain some partial results when and . We also consider sequential convergence for general elements of .

     

A multiplier relation for Calderón-Zygmund operators on

A generalised integral is used to obtain a Fourier multiplier relation for Calderón-Zygmund operators on . In particular we conclude that an operator in our class is injective on if it is injective on .

     

Varying the time-frequency lattice of Gabor frames

A Gabor or Weyl-Heisenberg frame for is generated by time-frequency shifts of a square-integrable function, the Gabor atom, along a time-frequency lattice. The dual frame is again a Gabor frame, generated by the dual atom. In general, Gabor frames are not stable under a perturbation of the lattice constants; that is, even for arbitrarily small changes of the parameters the frame property can be lost.

In contrast, as a main result we show that this kind of stability does hold for Gabor frames generated by a Gabor atom from the modulation space , which is a dense subspace of . Moreover, in this case the dual atom depends continuously on the lattice constants. In fact, we prove these results for more general weighted modulation spaces. As a consequence, we obtain for Gabor atoms from the Schwartz class that the continuous dependence of the dual atom holds even in the Schwartz topology. Also, we complement these main results by corresponding statements for Gabor Riesz sequences and their biorthogonal system.

     

Singularity of Vector Valued Measures in Terms of Fourier Transform

We study how the singularity (in the sense of Hausdorff dimension) of a vector valued measure can be affected by certain restrictions imposed on its Fourier transform. The restrictions, we are interested in, concern the direction of the (vector) values of the Fourier transform. The results obtained could be considered as a generalizations of F. and M. Riesz theorem, however a phenomenon, which have no analogy in the scalar case, arise in the vector valued case. As an example of application, we show that every measure from annihilating gradients of embedded in the natural way into i.e., such that for , has Hausdorff dimension at least one. We provide examples which show both completeness and incompleteness of our results.     

Segal-Bargmann transforms of one-mode interacting Fock spaces associated with Gaussian and Poisson measures

Let and denote the Gaussian and Poisson measures on , respectively. We show that there exists a unique measure on such that under the Segal-Bargmann transform the space is isomorphic to the space of analytic -functions on with respect to . We also introduce the Segal-Bargmann transform for the Poisson measure and prove the corresponding result. As a consequence, when and have the same variance, and are isomorphic to the same space under the - and -transforms, respectively. However, we show that the multiplication operators by on and on act quite differently on .

     

Frame wavelets in subspaces of

Let be a real expansive matrix. We characterize the reducing subspaces of for -dilation and the regular translation operators acting on We also characterize the Lebesgue measurable subsets of such that the function defined by inverse Fourier transform of generates through the same -dilation and the regular translation operators a normalized tight frame for a given reducing subspace. We prove that in each reducing subspace, the set of all such functions is nonempty and is also path connected in the regular -norm.

     

A version of Burkholder's theorem for operator-weighted spaces

Let be an operator weight, i.e. a weight function taking values in the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space . We prove that if the dyadic martingale transforms are uniformly bounded on for each dyadic grid in , then the Hilbert transform is bounded on as well, thus providing an analogue of Burkholder's theorem for operator-weighted -spaces. We also give a short new proof of Burkholder's theorem itself. Our proof is based on the decomposition of the Hilbert transform into ``dyadic shifts'.

     

An endpoint estimate for the discrete spherical maximal function

We prove that the discrete spherical maximal function extends to a bounded operator from to in dimensions . This is an endpoint estimate for a recent theorem of Magyar, Stein and Wainger.

     

Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along variable flat curves

We study certain Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along variable flat curves in the plane. We obtain their boundedness by considering the oscillatory singular integrals which arise from an application of a partial Fourier transform.

     

On perturbations of the group of shifts on the line by unitary cocycles

It is shown that the class of perturbations of the semigroup of shifts on by unitary cocycles with the property (where is the Hilbert-Schmidt class) contains strongly continuous semigroups of isometric operators, whose unitary parts possess spectral decompositions with the measure being singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Thus, we describe also the subclass of strongly continuous groups of unitary operators that are perturbations of the group of shifts on by Markovian cocycles with the property .

     

Minkowski's conjecture, well-rounded lattices and topological dimension

Let be the diagonal subgroup, and identify with the space of unimodular lattices in . In this paper we show that the closure of any bounded orbit

meets the set of well-rounded lattices. This assertion implies Minkowski's conjecture for and yields bounds for the density of algebraic integers in totally real sextic fields.

The proof is based on the theory of topological dimension, as reflected in the combinatorics of open covers of and .

     

On commutators of fractional integrals

Let be the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup on with Gaussian kernel bounds, and let be the fractional integrals of for . For a BMO function on , we show boundedness of the commutators from to , where . Our result of this boundedness still holds when is replaced by a Lipschitz domain of with infinite measure. We give applications to large classes of differential operators such as the magnetic Schrödinger operators and second-order elliptic operators of divergence form.

     

Small ball probabilities for the Slepian Gaussian fields

The -dimensional Slepian Gaussian random field is a mean zero Gaussian process with covariance function for and . Small ball probabilities for are obtained under the -norm on , and under the sup-norm on which implies Talagrand's result for the Brownian sheet. The method of proof for the sup-norm case is purely probabilistic and analytic, and thus avoids ingenious combinatoric arguments of using decreasing mathematical induction. In particular, Riesz product techniques are new ingredients in our arguments.

     

Density of the Set of Generators of Wavelet Systems

Given a function ψ in the affine (wavelet) system generated by ψ, associated to an invertible matrix a and a lattice Γ, is the collection of functions In this paper we prove that the set of functions generating affine systems that are a Riesz basis of ${\cal L}^2({\Bbb R}^d)$ is dense in We also prove that a stronger result is true for affine systems that are a frame of In this case we show that the generators associated to a fixed but arbitrary dilation are a dense set. Furthermore, we analyze the orthogonal case in which we prove that the set of generators of orthogonal (not necessarily complete) affine systems, that are compactly supported in frequency, are dense in the unit sphere of with the induced metric. As a byproduct we introduce the p-Grammian of a function and prove a convergence result of this Grammian as a function of the lattice. This result gives insight in the problem of oversampling of affine systems.     

Frame properties of wave packet systems in L^2({\mathbb R}^d)

Extending work by Hernandez, Labate and Weiss, we present a sufficent condition for a generalized shift-invariant system to be a Bessel sequence or even a frame for . In particular, this leads to a sufficient condition for a wave packet system to form a frame. On the other hand, we show that certain natural conditions on the parameters of such a system exclude the frame property.      

The s-elementary frame wavelets are path connected

An s-elementary frame wavelet is a function which is a frame wavelet and is defined by a Lebesgue measurable set such that . In this paper we prove that the family of s-elementary frame wavelets is a path-connected set in the -norm. This result also holds for s-elementary -dilation frame wavelets in in general. On the other hand, we prove that the path-connectedness of s-elementary frame wavelets cannot be strengthened to uniform path-connectedness. In fact, the sets of normalized tight frame wavelets and frame wavelets are not uniformly path-connected either.

     

Oversampling generates super-wavelets

We show that the second oversampling theorem for affine systems generates super-wavelets. These are frames generated by an affine structure on the space .

     

A note on Gabor orthonormal bases

The study of Gabor bases of the form for has interested many mathematicians in recent years. Alex Losevich and Steen Pedersen in 1998, Jeffery C. Lagarias, James A. Reeds and Yang Wang in 2000 independently proved that, for any fixed positive integer , is an orthonormal basis for if and only if is a tiling of . Palle E. T. Jorgensen and Steen Pedersen in 1999 gave an explicit characterization of such for , , . Inspired by their work, this paper addresses Gabor orthonormal bases of the form for and some other related problems, where is as above. For a fixed , the generating function of a Gabor orthonormal basis for corresponding to the above is characterized explicitly provided that , which is new even if ; a Shannon type sampling theorem about such is derived when , ; for an arbitrary positive integer , an explicit expression of the with being an orthonormal basis for is obtained under the condition that .

     

Well-posedness for the Schrödinger-Korteweg-de Vries system

We study well-posedness of the Cauchy problem associated to the Schrödinger-Korteweg-de Vries system. We obtain local well-posedness for weak initial data, where the best result obtained is for data in the Sobolev space . This result implies in particular the global well-posedness in the energy space . Both results considerably improve the previous ones by Bekiranov, Ogawa and Ponce (1997), Guo and Miao (1999), and Tsutsumi (1993).
