We characterize the group Aut for the symmetrized bidisc

The hyperbolic geometry of the symmetrized bidisc

We solve the Caratheodory and Kobayashi extremal problems for the open symmetrized bidisc

Geometry of the symmetrized polydisc

We describe all proper holomorphic mappings of the symmetrized polydisc and study its geometric properties. We also apply the obtained results to the study of the spectral unit ball in Received: 8 June 2004     

BMO from dyadic BMO on the bidisc

We generalize to the bidisc a theorem of Garnett and Jones relatingthe space BMO of functions of bounded mean oscillation to itsmartingale counterpart, dyadic BMO. Namely, translation-averagesof suitable families of dyadic BMO functions belong to BMO.As a corollary, we deduce a biparameter version of a theoremof Burgess Davis connecting the Hardy space H¹ to martingaleH¹. We also prove the analogs of the theorem of Garnett andJones in the one-parameter and biparameter VMO spaces of functionsof vanishing mean oscillation.     

Characterizations of symmetrized polydisc

Let Γ_n, n ≥ 2, denote the symmetrized polydisc in ?ⁿ, and Γ₁ be the closed unit disc in ?. We provide some characterizations of elements in Γ_n. In particular, an element (s₁,..., s_n?1, p) ∈ ?ⁿ is in Γ_n if and only if \({s_j} = {\beta _j} + \overline {{\beta _{n - j}}}p\), j = 1,..., n ? 1, for some (β₁,..., β_n?1) ∈ Γ_n?1, and |p| ≤ 1.     

Orthogonal decomposable symmetrized tensors

In this article we present a sufficient condition for orthogonality of decompassable symmetrized tensors.     

Nonzero decomposable symmetrized tensors

Suppose k₁ ? ? ? k_t ? 1, m₁ ? ?? m_r ? 1, k₁+ ? +k_t = m₁+ ? +m_r = m. Let λ=(k₁,…,k_t) be a character of the symmetric group S_m. The restriction of λ to S_m1X…XS_mr contains the principal character as a component if and only if λ majorizes (m₁,…,m_r). This result is used to characterize the index set of the nonzero decomposable symmetrized tensors, corresponding to S_m and λ, which are induced from a basis of the underlying vector space.     

Generalized symmetrized dirichlet distributions

In this paper we introduce a family of multivariate distributions, which consists of scale mixtures of symmetrized Dirichlet distributions. This family is a symmetrization of multivariate Liouville distributions and contains the well-known spherically symmetric distributions as a special case. The basic properties of this family such as stochastic representation, probability density functions, marginal and conditional distributions and components' independence are studied. A criterion of the invariance of statistics is also given.     

The symmetrized Sine addition formula

As a continuation of An and Yang (Integral Equ Oper Theory 66:183–195, 2010) in this paper, the symmetrized Sine addition formula

Orthogonal bases of symmetrized tensor spaces

It is shown that a symmetrized tensor space does not have an orthogonal basis consisting of standard symmetrized tensors if the associated permutation group is 2-transitive. In particular, no such basis exists if the group is the symmetric group or the algernating group as conjectured by T.-Y. Tam and the author.     

A symmetrized metric ramsey theorem

For every finite metric space A there exists a finite metric space B and a real number r > 0 such that for every coloring of B by two colors there exists a monochromatic A′ ⊆ B such that every isometry between two subsets of A′ extends to a full autoisometry of B and A′ is either isometric to A or is r-homothetic to A.     

Proper holomorphic mappings between symmetrized ellipsoids

We characterize the existence of proper holomorphic mappings in the special class of bounded (1, 2, . . . , n)-balanced domains in \mathbb Cⁿ,{\mathbb C^n,} called the symmetrized ellipsoids. Using this result we conclude that there are no non-trivial proper holomorphic self-mappings in the class of symmetrized ellipsoids. We also describe the automorphism groups of these domains.     

Lower bounds for the norms of decomposable symmetrized tensors

Lower bounds are given for the difference of two decomposable symmetrized tensors. The first bound uses a norm which makes the component vectors in a decomposable symmetrized tensor part of an orthonormal basis. The second bound holds only for decomposable elements of symmetry classes whose associated characters are linear.
