Optimal Domains and Integral Representations of Convolution Operators in <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>)

Given , a compact abelian group G and a function , we identify the maximal (i.e. optimal) domain of the convolution operator (as an operator from L^p(G) to itself). This is the largest Banach function space (with order continuous norm) into which L^p(G) is embedded and to which has a continuous extension, still with values in L^p(G). Of course, the optimal domain depends on p and g. Whereas is compact, this is not always so for the extension of to its optimal domain. Several characterizations of precisely when this is the case are presented.

We find an exact asymptotic formula for the singular values of the integral operator of the form , a Jordan measurable set) where and L is slowly varying function with some additional properties. The formula is an explicit expression in terms of L and T.     

Symmetric planes with non-classical tangent translation planes

We construct symmetric planes associated with an arbitrary locally compact connected nearfield . If is a proper nearfield, i.e. {;;}, then the tangent translation plane of this symmetric plane is not classical. All previously known examples of symmetric planes have classical tangent translation planes.Herrn Professor Dr. H. Salzmann zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet     

Non-collision periodic solutions for singular Hamiltonian systems

We study the existence of classical (non-collision) T-periodic solutions of the Hamiltonian system where and is a T-periodic function in t which has a singularity at like Under suitable conditions on H, we prove that if then (HS) possesses at least one non-collision solution and if then the generalized solution of (HS) obtained in [5] has at most one time of collision in its period.     

A note about the generalized Hardy-Sobolev inequality with potential in L^{{p,d}} {\left( {\mathbb{R}^{n} } \right)}

We present a generalized version of the Hardy-Sobolev inequality, in which the homogeneous potential is replaced by any potential V belonging to the Lorentz space . We show that the best constant in these inequalities is achieved provided that where . We also analyze the limit case . Finally an application to a non-linear eigenvalues problem with rough potentials is presented.Received: 19 September 2004, Accepted: 15 November 2004, Published online: 22 December 2004

The closed ideal of (c o ,p,q)-summing operators

For 1/p+1/q1, we study the closed ideal formed by the (c _o ,p,q)-summing operators. It turns out thatT:XY does not belong to if and only if it factors the mapId:l _p ^*l _q . By localization, we get the ideal that consists of those operatorsT for which all ultrapowersT ^u are contained in . Operators in the complement of are characterized by the property that they factor the mapsId:l _p ^*n l _q ⁿ uniformly. Our main tools are ideal norms.Supported by DFG grant PI 322/1-2

A Generalization of the Hausdorff-Young Theorem

Considering mixed-norm sequence spaces lp,q, p, q 1, C. N. Kellogg proved the following theorem: if 1 < p 2 then lp,2 and lp,2 , where 1/p + 1/p = 1. This result extends the Hausdorff-Young Theorem.We introduce here multiple mixed-norm sequence spaces , examine their properties and characterize the multipliers of spaces of the form lp,[s;n],q, with the index s repeated n times. By an interpolation-type argument we prove that (l,[2;n],2, lp,[1;n],1) for 1 < p 2. Using these results we obtain a further generalization of the Hausdorff-Young Theorem: if 1 < p 2 then lp,[2;n] and lp,[2;n] for each n = 0, 1, 2, ¨. The spaces lp,[2;n] decrease and lp,[2;n] increase properly with n for 1 < p < 2 and 1/p + 1/p = 1. We also extend a theorem of J. H. Hedlund on multiplers of Hardy spaces and deduce other results.

Topological and bornological characterisations of ideals in von Neumann algebras: I

Suppose is a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space and is any ideal in . We determine a topology on , for which the members of that are to norm continuous are exactly those in ; and a bornology on such that the elements of which map the unit ball to an element of , equivalently those members of that are norm to bounded, are exactly those in . This is achieved via analogues of the notions of injectivity and surjectivity in the theory of operator ideals on Banach spaces.

A note on the isotopy problem for $$ \mathbb{R}^2 $$ -planes

For a class of stable planes we define a notion of isotopy equivalence with respect to that class and prove that any two planes of a certain class of -planes comprising all affine -planes are isotopy equivalent. Furthermore we obtain that all affine -planes are isotopy equivalent in the class of affine -planes. Finally we give an example which shows that this approach cannot be easily generalized to 2-dimensional projective planes, and we outline a different way for a possible generalization.Received: 27 April 2001     

Type A Hecke algebras and related algebras

Let be the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group over a field K of characteristic and a primitive -th root of one in K. We show that an -module is projective if and only if its restrictions to any -parabolic subalgebra of is projective. Moreover, we give a new construction of blocks of -parabolic subalgebras, in terms of skew group algebras over local commutative algebras. Received: 30 June 2003     

Harmonic functions of general graph Laplacians

We study harmonic functions on general weighted graphs which allow for a compatible intrinsic metric. We prove an \(L^{p}\) Liouville type theorem which is a quantitative integral \(L^{p}\) estimate of harmonic functions analogous to Karp’s theorem for Riemannian manifolds. As corollaries we obtain Yau’s \(L^{p}\) -Liouville type theorem on graphs, identify the domain of the generator of the semigroup on \(L^{p}\) and get a criterion for recurrence. As a side product, we show an analogue of Yau’s \(L^{p}\) Caccioppoli inequality. Furthermore, we derive various Liouville type results for harmonic functions on graphs and harmonic maps from graphs into Hadamard spaces.
