Lorentz Spaces Of Vector-Valued Measures

Given a non-atomic, finite and complete measure space (,,µ)and a Banach space X, the modulus of continuity for a vectormeasure F is defined as the function _F(t) = sup_µ(E)t |F|(E)and the space V^p,q(X) of vector measures such that t^–1/p'_F(t) L^q((0,µ()],dt/t) is introduced. It is shown thatV^p,q(X) contains isometrically L^p,q(X) and that L^p,q(X) = V^p,q(X)if and only if X has the Radon–Nikodym property. It isalso proved that V^p,q(X) coincides with the space of cone absolutelysumming operators from L^p',q^' into X and the duality V^p,q(X^*)=(Lp^',q^'(X))^*where 1/p+1/p^'= 1/q+1/q^' = 1. Finally, V^p,q(X) is identifiedwith the interpolation space obtained by the real method (V¹(X),V(X))_1/p^',q. Spaces where the variation of F is replaced bythe semivariation are also considered.     

Essential norms and localization moduli of Sobolev embeddings for general domains

We introduce new measures of non-compactness for the embeddingoperator E_p,q():L_p¹() L_q() and describe their relations withthe essential norm of E_{p, q}(), ‘local’ isoperimetricand isocapacitary constants. An explicit formula for the essentialnorm of E_{p, q}() is obtained for domains with a power cusp onthe boundary and bounded C¹ domains. The Neumann problem fora particular Schrödinger operator is discussed on domainswith a power cusp.     

SCALED ASYMPTOTICS FOR SOME q-SERIES

This work, investigates the asymptotics for Euler’s q-exponentialE_q(z), Ramanujan’s function A_q(z), Jackson’s q-Besselfunction J_v⁽²⁾ (z; q), the Stieltjes–Wigert orthogonalpolynomials S_n(x; q) and q-Laguerre polynomials L_n⁽⁾ (x; q)as q approaches 1.     

On the Boundedness and Compactness of a Class of Integral Operators

Let > 0. The operator of the form is considered, where the real weight function v(x) is locallyintegrable on R⁺ := (0, ). In case v(x) = 1 the operator coincideswith the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral, L^p L^qestimates of which with power weights are well known. This workgives L^p L^qboundedness and compactness criteria for the operatorT in the case 0 < p, q < , p > max(1/, 1).     

Some New and Old Asymptotic Representations of the Jost Solution and the Weyl m-Function For Schrodinger Operators on the Line

For the general one-dimensional Schrödinger operator –d²/dx²+q(x) with real q L₁(R), this paper presents a new series representationof the Jost solution which, in turn, implies a new asymptoticrepresentation of the Weyl m-function for locally summable q.This representation is then applied to smooth potentials q toobtain Weyl m-function power asymptotics. The condition q^(N) L₁(x₀, x₀ + ), for N N₀, allows one to derive the (N + 1)term for almost all x [x₀, x₀ + ), thereby refining a relevantresult by Danielyan, Levitan and Simon. 2000 Mathematics SubjectClassification 34E05, 34L40 (primary), 34B20, 34L25 (secondary).     

Lie Powers of Modules for Groups of Prime Order

Let L(V) be the free Lie algebra on a finite-dimensional vectorspace V over a field K, with homogeneous components Lⁿ(V) forn 1. If G is a group and V is a KG-module, the action of Gextends naturally to L(V), and the Lⁿ(V) become finite-dimensionalKG-modules, called the Lie powers of V. In the decompositionproblem, the aim is to identify the isomorphism types of indecomposableKG-modules, with their multiplicities, in unrefinable directdecompositions of the Lie powers. This paper is concerned withthe case where G has prime order p, and K has characteristicp. As is well known, there are p indecomposables, denoted hereby J₁,...,J_p, where J_r has dimension r. A theory is developedwhich provides information about the overall module structureof LV) and gives a recursive method for finding the multiplicitiesof J₁,...,J_p in the Lie powers Lⁿ(V). For example, the theoryyields decompositions of L(V) as a direct sum of modules isomorphiceither to J₁ or to an infinite sum of the form J_r J_{p-1} J_{p-1} ... with r 2. Closed formulae are obtained for the multiplicitiesof J₁,..., J_p in Lⁿ(J_p and Lⁿ(J_{p-1). For r < p-1, the indecomposableswhich occur with non-zero multiplicity in Lⁿ(J_r) are identifiedfor all sufficiently large n. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification:17B01, 20C20.     

The tower of K-theory of truncated polynomial algebras

Let A be a regular noetherian F_p-algebra. The relative K-groupsK_q(A[x]/(x^m),(x)) and the Nil-groups Nil_q(A[x]/(x^m)) were evaluatedby the author and Ib Madsen in terms of the big de Rham–Wittgroups W_rA^q of the ring A. In this paper, we evaluate the mapsof relative K-groups and Nil-groups induced by the canonicalprojection f: A[x]/(x^m) A[x]/(xⁿ). The result depends stronglyon the prime p. It generalizes earlier work by Stienstra onthe groups in degrees 2 and 3. Received February 28, 2007.     

Independent Random Variables in Lorentz Spaces

We investigate random variables in Lorentz spaces L_p,q. Conditionson the characteristic function are obtained which imply thata random variable belongs to the Lorentz space. Using them,we prove some estimates for the L_p,q-norm of sums of independentrandom variables. Some of these estimates are new for the spacesL_p.     

Maximal Subgroups of Large Rank in Exceptional Groups of Lie Type

Let G = G(q) be a finite almost simple exceptional group ofLie type over the field of q elements, where q = p^a and p isprime. The main result of the paper determines all maximal subgroupsM of G(q) such that M is an almost simple group which is alsoof Lie type in characteristic p, under the condition that rank(M)> rank(G). The conclusion is that either M is a subgroupof maximal rank, or it is of the same type as G over a subfieldof F_q, or (G, M) is one of (, F₄(q)), (, C₄(q)), (E₇(q),³D₄(q)). This completes work of the first author with Saxl andTesterman, in which the same conclusion was obtained under someextra assumptions.     

Asymptotically Sharp Bounds in the Hardy-Littlewood Inequalities on Mean Values of Analytic Functions

Let f be analytic in the unit disc, and let it belong to theHardy space H^p, equipped with the usual norm ||f||_p.

Asymptotic simplification for a reaction-diffusion problem with a nonlinear boundary condition

We study non-negative solutions of the porous medium equationwith a source and a nonlinear flux boundary condition, u_t =(u^m)_xx + u^p in (0, ), x (0, T); – (u^m)_x (0, t) = u^q (0,t) for t (0, T); u (x, 0) = u₀ (x) in (0, ), where m > 1,p, q > 0 are parameters. For every fixed m we prove thatthere are two critical curves in the (p, q-plane: (i) the criticalexistence curve, separating the region where every solutionis global from the region where there exist blowing-up solutions,and (ii) the Fujita curve, separating a region of parametersin which all solutions blow up from a region where both globalin time solutions and blowing-up solutions exist. In the caseof blow up we find the blow-up rates, the blow-up sets and theblow-up profiles, showing that there is a phenomenon of asymptoticsimplification. If 2q < p + m the asymptotics are governedby the source term. On the other hand, if 2q > p + m theevolution close to blow up is ruled by the boundary flux. If2q = p + m both terms are of the same order.     

Singularities and Limit Functions in Iteration of Meromorphic Functions

Let f(z) be a transcendental meromorphic function. The paperinvestigates, using the hyperbolic metric, the relation betweenthe forward orbit P(f) of singularities of f^–1 and limitfunctions of iterations of f in its Fatou components. It ismainly proved, among other things, that for a wandering domainU, all the limit functions of {fⁿ|_U} lie in the derived setof P(f) and that if f^np|_V q(n +) for a Fatou component V, theneither q is in the derived set of S_p (f) or f^p(q) = q. As applicationsof main theorems, some sufficient conditions of the non-existenceof wandering domains and Baker domains are given.     

The determination of a coefficient in a parabolic equation from input sources

The authors consider the question of recovering the coefficientq from the equation u_t – u_xx + q(x)u = f_j(x) with homogeneousinitial and boundary conditions. The nonhomogeneous source terms form a basis for L²(0,1).It is proved that a unique determination is possible from datameasurements consisting of either the flux at one end of thebar or the net flux leaving the bar, taken at a single fixedtime for each input source. An algorithm that allows efficientnumerical reconstruction of q(x) from finite data is given.     

A Characterization of Fredholm Pseudo-Differential Operators

We give a necessary and sufficient condition on an ellipticsymbol of order m to ensure that the unique closed extensionin L^p(Rⁿ) for 1 < p < , of the pseudo-differential operatorT, initially defined on the Schwartz space, is a Fredholm operatorfrom L^p(Rⁿ) into L^p(Rⁿ) with domain H^{m, p}, where H^{m, p} is theL^p Sobolev space of order m.     

Decay rates of solutions to thermoviscoelastic plates with memory

We consider the thermoelastic plate under the presence of along range memory. We find uniform rates of decay (in time)of the energy, provided that suitable assumptions on the relaxationfunctions are given. Namely, if the relaxation decays exponentiallythen the first order energy also decays exponentially. Whenthe relaxation g satisfies -c₁g(t)^1+1/_p g'(t) -c_og(t)^1+1/_p; and g,g^1-1/_p L¹ (R) withp > 2 then the energy decays as 1/(1+t)^p. A new Liapunov functionalis built for this problem.     

The Approximation Numbers of Hardy-Type Operators on Trees

The Hardy operator T_a on a tree is defined by Properties of T_a as a map from L^p() into itselfare established for 1 p . The main result is that, with appropriateassumptions on u and v, the approximation numbers a_n(T_a) ofT_a satisfy for a specified constant _p and 1 p < . This extends results of Naimark, Newmanand Solomyak for p = 2. Hitherto, for p 2, (*) was unknowneven when is an interval. Also, upper and lower estimates forthe l^q and weak-l^q norms of a_n(T_a) are determined. 2000 MathematicalSubject Classification: 47G10, 47B10.     

Asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of some quasilinear elliptic problems

We discuss the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions ofthe quasilinear elliptic problem –_pu = a u^p–1–b(x)u^q, u| = 0, as q p – 1 + 0 and as q , via a scale argument.Here _p is the p-Laplacian with 1 < p and q > p –1. If p = 2, such problems arise in population dynamics. Ourmain results generalize the results for p = 2, but some technicaldifficulties arising from the nonlinear degenerate operator–_p are successfully overcome. As a by-product, we cansolve a free boundary problem for a nonlinear p-Laplacian equation.     

Geometrical Spines of Lens Manifolds

We introduce the concept of ‘geometrical spine’for 3-manifolds with natural metrics, in particular, for lensmanifolds. We show that any spine of L_p,q that is close enoughto its geometrical spine contains at least E(p,q) – 3vertices, which is exactly the conjectured value for the complexityc(L_p,q). As a byproduct, we find the minimal rotation distance(in the Sleator–Tarjan–Thurston sense) between atriangulation of a regular p-gon and its image under rotation.
