Uniqueness of the Cheeger set of a convex body

We prove that if C⊂R^N$C\subset {\mathbb{R}}^N$ is an open bounded convex set, then there is only one Cheeger set inside C$C$ and it is convex. A Cheeger set of C$C$ is a set which minimizes the ratio perimeter over volume among all subsets of C$C$.     

Description of extended eigenvalues and extended eigenvectors of integration operators on the Wiener algebra

In the present paper we consider the Volterra integration operator V   on the Wiener algebra W(D)$W(\mathbb{D})$ of analytic functions on the unit disc D$\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane C$\mathbb{C}$. A complex number λ$\lambda$ is called an extended eigenvalue of V if there exists a nonzero operator A   satisfying the equation AV=λVA$\mathit{AV}=\lambda \mathit{VA}$. We prove that the set of all extended eigenvalues of V   is precisely the set C?{0}$\mathbb{C}?\{0\}$, and describe in terms of Duhamel operators and composition operators the set of corresponding extended eigenvectors of V$V$. The similar result for some weighted shift operator on _?p${?}_p$ spaces is also obtained.     

Extensions de la filtration de Saito

We extend Saito's filtration to the Chow groups of a representable morphism of presheaves on Sch_C${\mathit{Sch}}_{\mathbb{C}}$, the category of schemes over C$\mathbb{C}$. Moreover, for a presheaf on the category of smooth and projective schemes over C$\mathbb{C}$, we define its higher Chow groups along with their filtrations.     

Steiner symmetrization using a finite set of directions

Let v₁,…,vm$v_1,\dots ,v_m$ be a finite set of unit vectors in Rn${\mathbb{R}}^n$. Suppose that an infinite sequence of Steiner symmetrizations are applied to a compact convex set K   in Rn${\mathbb{R}}^n$, where each of the symmetrizations is taken with respect to a direction from among the vi$v_i$. Then the resulting sequence of Steiner symmetrals always converges, and the limiting body is symmetric under reflection in any of the directions vi$v_i$ that appear infinitely often in the sequence. In particular, an infinite periodic sequence of Steiner symmetrizations always converges, and the set functional determined by this infinite process is always idempotent.     

Factorization properties of paratopological groups

In this article we continue the study of R$\mathbb{R}$-factorizability in paratopological groups. It is shown that: (1) all concepts of R$\mathbb{R}$-factorizability in paratopological groups coincide; (2) a Tychonoff paratopological group G   is R$\mathbb{R}$-factorizable if and only if it is totally ω  -narrow and has property ω-QU$\omega \text{-}\mathit{QU}$; (3) every subgroup of a _T1$T_1$ paratopological group G   is R$\mathbb{R}$-factorizable provided that the topological group G^?$G^{?}$ associated to G is a Lindelöf Σ-space, i.e., G is a totally Lindelöf Σ-space  ; (4) if Π=_∏i∈IGi$\Pi ={\prod }_{i\in I}{G}_i$ is a product of _T1$T_1$ paratopological groups which are totally Lindelöf Σ-spaces, then each dense subgroup of Π   is R$\mathbb{R}$-factorizable. These results answer in the affirmative several questions posed earlier by M. Sanchis and M. Tkachenko and by S. Lin and L.-H. Xie.     

Stable extendibility of vector bundles over real projective spaces

Let F$\mathbb{F}$ be either the real number field R$\mathbb{R}$ or the complex number field C$\mathbb{C}$ and RPⁿ${\mathbb{RP}}^n$ the real projective space of dimension n. Theorems A and C in Hemmi and Kobayashi (2008) [2] give necessary and sufficient conditions for a given F$\mathbb{F}$-vector bundle over RPⁿ${\mathbb{RP}}^n$ to be stably extendible to RP^m${\mathbb{RP}}^m$ for every m?n$m?n$. In this paper, we simplify the theorems and apply them to the tangent bundle of RPⁿ${\mathbb{RP}}^n$, its complexification, the normal bundle associated to an immersion of RPⁿ${\mathbb{RP}}^n$ in R^n+r${\mathbb{R}}^{n+r}$(r>0)$(r>0)$, and its complexification. Our result for the normal bundle is a generalization of Theorem A in Kobayashi et al. (2000) [8] and that for its complexification is a generalization of Theorem 1 in Kobayashi and Yoshida (2003) [5].
