Highest weight representations of a family of Lie algebras of Block type

For an additive subgroup G of a field F of characteristic zero, a Lie algebra B（G） of Block type is defined with basis {Lα,i｜ α∈G, i∈Z＋} and relations [Lα,i, Lβ,j] = （β-α）Lα＋β,i＋j＋（αj-βi）Lα＋β,Lα＋β,i＋j-1.It is proved that an irreducible highest weight B（Z）-module is quasifinite if and only if it is a proper quotient of a Verma module. Furthermore, for a total order λ on G and any ∧∈B（G）0^＊（the dual space of B（G）0 = span{L0,i｜i∈Z＋}）, a Verma B（G）-module M（∧,λ） is defined, and the irreducibility of M（A,λ） is completely determined.     

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator on bounded complete Reinhardt domains

The generalized Roper-Suffridge extension operator Ф(f) on the bounded complete Reinhardt domain Ω in Cn with n ≥ 2 is defined by Φrn,β2,γ2,…,βn,γn(f)(z)=(rf(z1/r),(rf(z1/r)/z1)β2(f'(z1/r))γ2z2,…,(rf(z1/r)/z1)βn(f'(z1/r)γnzn) for (z1,z2,…,zn) ∈Ω, where r = r(Ω) = sup{|z1| (z1,z2,…,zn) ∈ Ω},0 ≤ γj ≤ 1 -βj,0 ≤ βj ≤ 1,and we choose the branch of the power functions such that (f(z1)/z1)βj |z1=0 = 1 and (f′(z1))γj |z1=0 =1,j = 2,…,n. In this paper, we prove that the operator Фrn,β2,γ2,…,βn,γn(f) is from the subset of S*α(U) to S*α(Ω)(0 ≤ α ＜ 1) on Ω and the operator Фrn,β2,γ2,…, βn,γn(f) preserves the starlikeness of order α or the spirallikeness of type β on Dp for some suitable constantsβj,γj,pj, where Dp ={(z1,z2,…,zn) ∈ Cn ∑nj=1|zj|pj ＜ 1} (pj ＞ 0, j = 1,2,…,n), U is the unit disc in the complex plane C, and Sα* (Ω) is the class of all normalized starlike mappings of order α on Ω. We also obtain that Φrn,β2,γ2,…,γn(f) ∈ S*α(Dp) if and only if f ∈ S*a(U) for 0 ≤ α ＜ 1 and some suitable constants βj,γj,pj.     

Riesz basis, Paley-Wiener class and tempered splines

The Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality and the Bernstein inequality are established on ∮2m(T,R)∩L2(R) which is the space of polynomial splines with irregularly distributed nodes T={tj}j∈Z, where {tj}j∈Z is a real sequence such that {eitξ}j∈Z constitutes a Riesz basis for L2([-π,π]). From these results, the asymptotic relation E(f,Bπ,2)2=lim E(f,∮2m(T,R)∩L2(R))2 is proved, where Bπ,2 denotes the set of all functions from L2(R) which can be continued to entire functions of exponential type ≤π, i.e. the classical Paley-Wiener class.

Let be a finitely generated extension field of ℚ, andα _i,β_j(1⩽i⩽m,1⩽j⩽n) be some complex numbers. Let (k=1,2,3) be fields obtained by adjoining to the numbers {α _i,β_j exp(α_iβ_j)}, {α_i, exp(α_iβ_j)}, and {exp(α_iβ_j)}, respectively. In the present note the relation between the transcendental degree of over and the transcendence type of over ℚ is given. This work was completed in Dpt.

Small into-isomorphism from L∞(A,μ) into L∞(B,υ)

In this paper we shall assert that if T is an isomorphism of L_∞(Ω₁, A, μ) into L_∞(Ω₂, B, υ) satisfying the condition ‖T‖·‖T ⁻¹‖⩽1+ɛ for ɛ∈ , then is close to an isometry with an error less than 6ε in some conditions.     

A generalization of the rogosinski-rogosinski theorem

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for numerical functions αj(x), j ∈ N, x ∈ X, under which the conditions K(f _j ⊂ K(f ₁) ∀j≥2 and yield The functions fj(x) are uniformly bounded on the set X and take values in a boundedly compact space L, and K(fj) is the kernel of the function fj. The well-known Rogosinski-Rogosinski theorem follows from the proved statements in the case where X = N, α _j (x) ≡ α_j, and the space L is the m-dimensional Euclidean space.     

Functoriality of automorphic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions through their zeros

Let E be a Galois extension of ℚ of degree l, not necessarily solvable. In this paper we first prove that the L-function L(s, π) attached to an automorphic cuspidal representation π of cannot be factored nontrivially into a product of L-functions over E. Next, we compare the n-level correlation of normalized nontrivial zeros of L(s, π₁)…L(s, π _k ), where π _j , j = 1,…, k, are automorphic cuspidal representations of , with that of L(s,π). We prove a necessary condition for L(s, π) having a factorization into a product of L-functions attached to automorphic cuspidal representations of specific , j = 1,…,k. In particular, if π is not invariant under the action of any nontrivial σ ∈ Gal _E/ℚ, then L(s, π) must equal a single L-function attached to a cuspidal representation of and π has an automorphic induction, provided L(s, π) can factored into a product of L-functions over ℚ. As E is not assumed to be solvable over ℚ, our results are beyond the scope of the current theory of base change and automorphic induction. Our results are unconditional when m,m ₁,…,m _k are small, but are under Hypothesis H and a bound toward the Ramanujan conjecture in other cases.

Discrete spectrum in the gaps of a perturbed pseudorelativistic hamiltonian

The pseudorelativistic Hamiltonian is considered under wide conditions on potentials A(x), W(x). It is assumed that a real point λ is regular for G_1/2. Let G_1/2(α)=G_1/2−αV, where α>0, V(x)≥0, and V ∈L _d(ℝ^d). Denote by N(λ, α) the number of eigenvalues of G_1/2(t) that cross the point λ as t increases from 0 to α. A Weyl-type asymptotics is obtained for N(λ, α) as α→∞. Bibliography: 5 titles. To O. A. Ladyzhenskaya Translated fromZapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 249, 1997. pp. 102–117. Translated by A.

Riesz multiwavelet bases generated by vector refinement equation

In this paper, we investigate compactly supported Riesz multiwavelet sequences and Riesz multiwavelet bases for L ₂(ℝ ^s ). Suppose ψ = (ψ¹,..., ψ ^r ) ^T and are two compactly supported vectors of functions in the Sobolev space (H ^μ(ℝ ^s )) ^r for some μ > 0. We provide a characterization for the sequences {ψ _jk ^l : l = 1,...,r, j ε ℤ, k ε ℤ ^s } and to form two Riesz sequences for L ₂(ℝ ^s ), where ψ _jk ^l = m ^j/2ψ ^l (M ^j ·−k) and , M is an s × s integer matrix such that lim _n→∞ M ⁻ⁿ = 0 and m = |detM|. Furthermore, let ϕ = (ϕ¹,...,ϕ ^r ) ^T and be a pair of compactly supported biorthogonal refinable vectors of functions associated with the refinement masks a, and M, where a and are finitely supported sequences of r × r matrices. We obtain a general principle for characterizing vectors of functions ψ^ν = (ψ^ν1,...,ψ^νr ) ^T and , ν = 1,..., m − 1 such that two sequences {ψ _jk ^νl : ν = 1,..., m − 1, l = 1,...,r, j ε ℤ, k ε ℤ ^s } and { : ν=1,...,m−1,ℓ=1,...,r, j ∈ ℤ, k ∈ ℤ ^s } form two Riesz multiwavelet bases for ^L ₂(ℝ ^s ). The bracket product [f, g] of two vectors of functions f, g in (L ₂(ℝ ^s )) ^r is an indispensable tool for our characterization.

Lower bounds at infinity of solutions of partial differential equations in the exterior of a proper cone

An extension of a classical theorem of Rellich to the exterior of a closed proper convex cone is proved: Let Γ be a closed convex proper cone inR ⁿ and −Γ′ be the antipodes of the dual cone of Γ. Let be a partial differential operator with constant coefficients inR ⁿ, whereQ(ζ)≠0 onR ⁿ−iΓ′ andP _i is an irreducible polynomial with real coefficients. Assume that the closure of each connected component of the set {ζ∈R ⁿ−iΓ′;P _j(ζ)=0, gradP _j(ζ)≠0} contains some real point on which gradP _j≠0 and gradP _j∉Γ∪(−Γ). LetC be an open cone inR ⁿ−Γ containing both normal directions at some such point, and intersecting each normal plane of every manifold contained in {ξ∈R ⁿ;P(ξ)=0}. Ifu∈ℒ′∩L _loc ² (R ⁿ−Γ) and the support ofP(−i∂/∂x)u is contained in Γ, then the condition implies that the support ofu is contained in Γ.

A note on the crossed product $$ \mathcal{R}(\mathcal{A},\alpha ) $$ associated with PSL2(ℝ)

Given the hyperbolic measure dxdy/y ² on the upper half plane ℍ, the rational actions of PSL₂(ℝ) on ℍ induces a continuous unitary representation α of this group on the Hilbert space L ²(ℍ, dxdy/y ²). Supposing that = {M _f : f ∈ L ^∞ (ℍ, dxdy/y ²)}, we show that the crossed product is of type I. In fact, the crossed product is *-isomorphic to the von Neumann algebra , where is the abelian group von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular representation of K.

Certain oscillatory integrals on unit square and their applications

Let Q2 = [0, 1]2 be the unit square in two dimension Euclidean space R2. We study the Lp boundedness properties of the oscillatory integral operators Tα,β defined on the set S(R3) of Schwartz test functions f by Tα,βf(x,y,z) = Q2 f(x - t,y - s,z - tksj)e-it-β1s-β2t-1-α1s-1-α2dtds, where β1 > α1 0, β2 > α2 0 and (k, j) ∈ R2. As applications, we obtain some Lp boundedness results of rough singular integral operators on the product spaces.     

On Lp-convergence of Grunwald interpolation

In this paper, the L_p-convergence of Grünwald interpolation G_n(f,x) based on the zeros of Jacobi polynomials J _n ^(α,β) (x)(−1<α,β<1) is considered. L_p-convergence (0<p<2) of Grünwald interpolation G_n(f,x) is proved for p·Max(α,β)<1. Moreover, L_p-convergence (p>0) of G_n(f,x) is obtained for −1<α,β≤0. Therefore, the results of [1] and [3–5] are improved.     

Accuracy of several multidimensional refinable distributions

Compactly supported distributions f₁,..., f_r on ℝ^d are fefinable if each f_i is a finite linear combination of the rescaled and translated distributions f_j(Ax−k), where the translates k are taken along a lattice Γ ⊂ ∝^d and A is a dilation matrix that expansively maps Γ into itself. Refinable distributions satisfy a refinement equation f(x)=Σ_k∈Λ c_k f(Ax−k), where Λ is a finite subset of Γ, the c_k are r×r matrices, and f=(f₁,...,f_r)^T. The accuracy of f is the highest degree p such that all multivariate polynomials q with degree(q)<p are exactly reproduced from linear combinations of translates of f₁,...,f_r along the lattice Γ. We determine the accuracy p from the matrices c_k. Moreover, we determine explicitly the coefficients y_α,i(k) such that x^α=Σ _i=1 ^r Σ_k∈Γy_α,i(k) fi(x+k). These coefficients are multivariate polynomials y_α,i(x) of degree |α| evaluated at lattice points k∈Γ.     

On maximal injective subalgebras in a <Emphasis Type="Italic">w</Emphasis>Γ factor

Let (F _ℚ) × _α ℤ be the crossed product von Neumann algebra of the free group factor (F _ℚ), associated with the left regular representation λ of the free group F _ℚ with the set {u _r : r ∈ ℚ} of generators, by an automorphism α defined by α(λ(u _r )) = exp(2πri)λ(u _r ), where ℚ is the rational number set. We show that (F _ℚ) × _α ℤ is a wΓ factor, and for each r ∈ ℚ, the von Neumann subalgebra generated in (F _ℚ) × _α ℚ by λ(u _r ) and υ is maximal injective, where υ is the unitary implementing the automorphism α. In particular, (F _ℚ) × _α ℣ is a wΓ factor with a maximal abelian selfadjoint subalgebra which cannot be contained in any hyperfinite type II₁ subfactor of (F _ℚ) × _α ℚ. This gives a counterexample of Kadison’s problem in the case of wΓ factor.

On some problems of weak consistency of quasi-maximum likelihood estimates in generalized linear models

In this paper,we explore some weakly consistent properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimates(QMLE) concerning the quasi-likelihood equation in=1 Xi(yi-μ(Xiβ)) = 0 for univariate generalized linear model E(y |X) = μ(X'β).Given uncorrelated residuals {ei = Yi-μ(Xiβ0),1 i n} and other conditions,we prove that βn-β0 = Op(λn-1/2) holds,where βn is a root of the above equation,β0 is the true value of parameter β and λn denotes the smallest eigenvalue of the matrix Sn = ni=1 XiXi.We also show that the convergence rate above is sharp,provided independent non-asymptotically degenerate residual sequence and other conditions.Moreover,paralleling to the elegant result of Drygas(1976) for classical linear regression models,we point out that the necessary condition guaranteeing the weak consistency of QMLE is Sn-1→ 0,as the sample size n →∞.     

The Besov subspace consisting of most non-smooth functions

Under the assumptions that Δ(f, h)(t) = |f(t + h) − f(t)|, X is a symmetric space of functions in [0, 1], α ∈ (0, 1) and p ∈ [1, ∞) are any fixed number, by the triple (X, α, p) a Besov type space Λ _X,p ^α is constructed, where the norm is given by the equality

The Johnson–Lindenstrauss Lemma Almost Characterizes Hilbert Space, But Not Quite

Let X be a normed space that satisfies the Johnson–Lindenstrauss lemma (J–L lemma, in short) in the sense that for any integer n and any x ₁,…,x _n ∈X, there exists a linear mapping L:X→F, where F⊆X is a linear subspace of dimension O(log n), such that ‖x _i −x _j ‖≤‖L(x _i )−L(x _j )‖≤O(1)⋅‖x _i −x _j ‖ for all i,j∈{1,…,n}. We show that this implies that X is almost Euclidean in the following sense: Every n-dimensional subspace of X embeds into Hilbert space with distortion 2^2O(log*n)2^{2^{O(\log^{*}n)}} . On the other hand, we show that there exists a normed space Y which satisfies the J–L lemma, but for every n, there exists an n-dimensional subspace E _n ⊆Y whose Euclidean distortion is at least 2^Ω(α(n)), where α is the inverse Ackermann function.     

Dilations and Completions for Gabor Systems

Let be a full rank time-frequency lattice in ℝ ^d ×ℝ ^d . In this note we first prove that any dual Gabor frame pair for a Λ-shift invariant subspace M can be dilated to a dual Gabor frame pair for the whole space L ²(ℝ ^d ) when the volume v(Λ) of the lattice Λ satisfies the condition v(Λ)≤1, and to a dual Gabor Riesz basis pair for a Λ-shift invariant subspace containing M when v(Λ)>1. This generalizes the dilation result in Gabardo and Han (J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 7:419–433, [2001]) to both higher dimensions and dual subspace Gabor frame pairs. Secondly, for any fixed positive integer N, we investigate the problem whether any Bessel–Gabor family G(g,Λ) can be completed to a tight Gabor (multi-)frame G(g,Λ)∪(∪ _j=1 ^N G(g _j ,Λ)) for L ²(ℝ ^d ). We show that this is true whenever v(Λ)≤N. In particular, when v(Λ)≤1, any Bessel–Gabor system is a subset of a tight Gabor frame G(g,Λ)∪G(h,Λ) for L ²(ℝ ^d ). Related results for affine systems are also discussed. Communicated by Chris Heil.
