Bounded Laplace transforms,primitives and semigroup orbits

Let $f : \mathbb{R}_{+} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be an exponentially bounded, measurable function whose Laplace transform has a bounded holomorphic extension to the open right half-plane. It is known that there is a constant C such that $\mid \int\limits^t_0 f(s) ds \mid\, \leq C (1 + t)$ for all $t \geq 0$. We show that this estimate is sharp. Furthermore, the corresponding estimates for orbits of $C_0$-semigroups are also sharp. Received:17 January 2001; revised manuscropt accepted: 8 February 2001     

Bounded cohomology of group constructions

It is proved that the singular partH _b ^2/(2) (G) of the second group of bounded homology of the discrete groupG is isomorphic to the space of 2-cocycles that vanish on the diagonal. For groupsG representable as HNN-extensions or free products with amalgamation, as well as for groupsG with one defining relation, conditions for the infinite-dimensionality ofH _b ^2/(2) (G) are found. Some applications of bounded cohomology to the width problem for verbal subgroups and to the boundedness problem for group presentations are indicated.

Finding representatives for the orbits under the automorphism group of a bounded abelian group

Given any bounded abelian p-group A for some prime p, we determine a system of representatives for the orbits of A under its automorphism group. This is used to determine the number of orbits. As a consequence, certain types of groups are characterized by this number.     

Two theorems on poisson measures on a topological group

Our first theorem is concerned with the convergence of nets of Poisson measures on a topological group. As a corollary we obtain a characterization of Poisson measures. The second theorem gives a characterization of elementary Poisson measures.     

Continuous families of vectors that are orbits of a unitary group

We characterize functions u from the real line into a Hilbert space that are the orbits of a unitary group {U(t)}_t∈R; that is, u(t)=U(t)u(0), for all real t. One of the characterizations is that u be the Fourier transform of a certain type of vector-valued measure Z; we then use our characterizations to construct Z from u.     

Space of orbits of a three-dimensional simple compact linear Lie group

An upper estimate for the codimension of the subspace of points with finite orbits for a representation of a three-dimensional simple compact Lie group whose quotient is a manifold is obtained.     

Flat orbits and kernels of irreducible representations of the group algebra of a completely solvable Lie group

We show that the kernel of an irreducible unitary representation π of the group algebra L¹(G) of a completely solvable Lie group G is given by the functions, whose abelian Fourier transform vanish on the Kirillov orbit Oπ of π if and only if this orbit Oπ is flat. This is a generalization of a result obtained before for nilpotent Lie groups.     

Adjoint orbits of the odd real symplectic group

In this paper we classify the adjoint orbits of the odd symplectic group over the field of real numbers. We need a noneigenvalue modulus to classify certain orbits.      

Frames of p-adic wavelets and orbits of the affine group

The general construction of frames of p-adic wavelets is described. We consider the orbit of a generic mean zero locally constant function with compact support (mean zero test function) with respect to the action of the p-adic affine group and show that this orbit is a uniform tight frame. We discuss the relations of this result with the multiresolution wavelet analysis. The text was submitted by the authors in English.
