On the existence of wave operators for the Klein-Gordon equation

The problem of existence of wave operators for the Klein-Gordon equation ( _t ² –+²+iV_1t+V₂)u(x,t)=0 (x R ⁿ,t R, n3, >0) is studied where V₁ and V₂ are symmetric operators in L₂(R ⁿ) and it is shown that conditions similar to those of Veseli-Weidmann (Journal Functional Analysis 17, 61–77 (1974)) for a different class of operators are also sufficient for the Klein-Gordon equation.     

Polynomially convex orbits of compact lie groups

LetV be a finite dimensional complex linear space and letG be a compact subgroup of GL(V). We prove that an orbitG, V, is polynomially convex if and only ifG is closed andG is the real form ofG . For every orbitG which is not polynomially convex we construct an analytic annulus or strip inG with the boundary inG. It is also proved that the group of holomorphic automorphisms ofG which commute withG acts transitively on the set of polynomially convexG-orbits. Further, an analog of the Kempf-Ness criterion is obtained and homogeneous spaces of compact Lie groups which admit only polynomially convex equivariant embeddings are characterized.Supported by Federal program Integratsiya, no. 586.Supported by INTAS grant 97/10170.     

C 1 changes of variable: Beurling-Helson type theorem and Hörmander conjecture on Fourier multipliers

We prove that if aC ¹ smooth change of variable : generates a bounded composition operatorff° in the spaceA _p()=L ^p ,p2, then is linear (affine).We also prove that for a nonlinearC ¹ mapping , the norms of exponentialse ⁱ as Fourier multipliers inL ^p () tend to infinity (,||). In both results the condition C ¹ is sharp, it cannot be replaced by the Lipschitz condition.     

A Class of Iterative Algorithms and Solvability of Nonlinear Variational Inequalities Involving Multivalued Mappings

The solvability of the following class of nonlinear variational inequality (NVI) problems based on a class of iterative procedures, which possess an equivalence to a class of projection formulas, is presented.Determine an element x ^* K and u ^* T(x ^*) such that u ^*, x – x ^* 0 for all x K where T: K P(H) is a multivalued mapping from a real Hilbert space H into P(H), the power set of H, and K is a nonempty closed convex subset of H. The iterative procedure adopted here is represented by a nonlinear variational inequality: for arbitrarily chosen initial points x ⁰, y ⁰ K, u ⁰ T(y ⁰) and v ⁰ T(x ⁰), we have u ^k + x ^k+1 – y ^k , x – x ^k+1 0, x K, for u ^k T(y ^k ) and for k 0where v ^k + y ^k – x ^k , x – y ^k 0, x K and for v ^k T(x ^k ).     

An infinite dimensional analogue of the Albeverio-Röckner's theorem on Fukushima's conjecture

LetX be the solution of the SDE:dX _t = (X _t)dB _t +b(X _t)dt, with andb C _b (R) such that >0 for some constant , andB a real Brownian motion. Let be the law ofX onE=C([0, 1],R) andk E* – {0}, whereE* is the topological dual space ofE. Consider the classical form: _k (u, v)=u / kv / kd, whereu andv are smooth functions onE. We prove that, if _k is closable for anyk in a dense subset ofE* and if the smooth functions are contained in the domain of the generator of the closure of _k , must be a constant function.     

Quasianapole Interaction of Charged Fermions

We obtain the analytic expression for the total cross section of the reaction e ^– e ⁺l ^– l ⁺ (l=,) taking possible quasianapole interaction effects into account. We find numerical restrictions on the interaction parameter value from data for the reaction e ^– e ^+–+ in the energy domain below the Z ⁰ peak.     

Operator stable laws: Series representations and domains of normal attraction

LetX,X ₁,X ₂,... be i.i.d. random vectors in ^d. The limit laws that can arise by suitable affine normalizations of the partial sums,S _n=X ₁+...+X _n, are calledoperator-stable laws. These laws are a natural extension to ^d of the stable laws on. Thegeneralized domain of attraction of [GDOA()] is comprised of all random vectorsX whose partial sums can be affinely normalized to converge to . If the linear part of the affine transformation is restricted to take the formn ^–B for some exponent operatorB naturally associated to thenX is in thegeneralized domain of normal attraction of [GDONA()]. This paper extends the theory of operator-stable laws and their domains of attraction and normal attraction.     

Balayages on Excessive Measures,their Representation and the Quasi-Lindelöf Property

If Exc is the set of all excessive measures associated with a submarkovian resolvent on a Lusin measurable space and B is a balayage on Exc then we show that for any mExc there exists a basic set A (determined up to a m-polar set) such that B=(B^A)* for any Exc, m. The m-quasi-Lindelöf property (for the fine topology) holds iff for any B there exists the smallest basic set A as above. We characterize the case when any B is representable i.e. there exists a basic set such that B=(B^A)* on Exc.     

Some remarks on the modulus of continuity of a conformal mapping of the disk onto a Jordan domain

Letd(;z, t) be the smallest diameter of the arcs of a Jordan curve with endsz andt. Consider the rapidity of decreasing ofd(;)=sup{d(;z, t):z, t , ¦z–t¦} (as 0,0) as a measure of nicety of . Letg(x) (x0) be a continuous and nondecreasing function such thatg(x)x,g(0)=0. Put¯g(x)=g(x)+x, h(x)=(¯g(x))². LetH(x) be an arbitrary primitive of 1/h ^–1(x). Note that the functionH ^–1 x is positive and increasing on (–, +),H ^–1 0 asx– andH ^–1+ asx +.

Donsker's Delta Function of Lévy Process

Let X={X(t):tR} be a Lévy process and a non-decreasing, right continuous, bounded function with (–)=0 (((1+u ²)/u ²)d(u) is the Lévy measure). In this paper we define the Donsker delta function (X(t)–a), t>0 and aR, as a generalized Lévy functional under the condition that (0)–(0–)>0. This leads us to define F(X(t)) for any tempered distribution F, and as an application, we derive an Itô formula for F(X(t)) when has jumps at 0 and 1.     

Joint norm of operators and an investigation of nonlinear problems

Nonlinear operator equations of the form x=Fx in a real-valued Hilbert space H are studied. If the operator F is completely continuous and admits the bound Fx< Bx+b, where B is a continuous linear operator then for B<1 the Schauder principle is applicable to the equation x=Fx and this equation possesses at least one solution x H. If the bound Fx<,B₁x+B₂x+b is valid where B₁ and B₂ are bounded linear operators then the simplest conditions for solvability of the equation x=Fx is of the form B₁+B₂<1. This condition could be relaxed. The proposed method is applied to the investigation of a two-point boundary problem (cf., e.g., [1–3]). New conditions for the existence of solutions are obtained.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 12, pp. 1605–1616, December, 1990.     

Finite Group Schemes over Bases with Low Ramification

Let A be a complete characteristic (0,p) discrete valuation ring with absolute ramification degree e and a perfect residue field. We are interested in studying the category FF _A' of finite flat commutative group schemes over A withp-power order. When e= 1, Fontaine formulated the purely linear algebra notion of a finite Honda system over A and constructed an anti-equivalence of categories betweenineFF _A'> and the category of finite Honda systems over A when p> 2. We generalize this theory to the case e – 1.

Theorem on a convergence condition in the spaces

For a given -function (u), a condition on a -function (u) is found such that it is necessary and sufficient for the following to hold: if f_n(x) f(x) and f _n (x)M (n=1, 2, ...) where M>0 is an absolute constant, then f _n (x)–f(x)0(n). An analogous condition for convergence in Orlicz spaces is obtained as a corollary.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 615–626, May, 1977.The author thanks V. A.

New lower semicontinuity results for polyconvex integrals

Summary We study integral functionals of the formF(u, )= f(u)dx, defined foru C¹(;R ^k), R ⁿ . The functionf is assumed to be polyconvex and to satisfy the inequalityf(A) c₀¦(A)¦ for a suitable constant c₀ > 0, where (A) is then-vector whose components are the determinants of all minors of thek×n matrixA. We prove thatF is lower semicontinuous onC ¹(;R ^k) with respect to the strong topology ofL ¹(;R ^k). Then we consider the relaxed functional , defined as the greatest lower semicontinuous functional onL ¹(;R ^k ) which is less than or equal toF on C¹(;R ^k). For everyu BV(;R ^k) we prove that (u,) f(u)dx+c₀¦D^su¦(), whereDu=u dx+D^su is the Lebesgue decomposition of the Radon measureDu. Moreover, under suitable growth conditions onf, we show that (u,)= f(u)dx for everyu W^1,p(;R ^k), withp min{n,k}. We prove also that the functional (u, ) can not be represented by an inte- gral for an arbitrary functionu BV_loc(R ⁿ;R ^k). In fact, two examples show that, in general, the set function (u, ) is not subadditive whenu BV_loc(R ⁿ;R ^k), even ifu W _loc ^1,p (R ⁿ;R ^k) for everyp < min{n,k}. Finally, we examine in detail the properties of the functionsu BV(;R ^k) such that (u, )= f(u)dx, particularly in the model casef(A)=¦(A)¦.     

Extremes of a Gaussian Process and the Constant H α

Consider a triangular array of standard Gaussian random variables {_n,i, i 0, n 1} such that {_n,i, i 0} is a stationary normal sequence for each n 1. Let _n,k = corr(_n,i,_n,i+k). If (1-_n,k)log n _k (0,) as n for some k, then the locations where the extreme values occur cluster and the limiting distribution of the maxima is still the Gumbel distribution as in the stationary or i.i.d. case, but shifted by a parameter measuring the clustering. Triangular arrays of Gaussian sequences are used to approximate a continuous Gaussian process X(t), t 0. The cluster behavior of the random sequence refers to the behavior of the extremes values of the continuous process. The relation is analyzed. It reveals a new definition of the constants H used for the limiting distribution of maxima of continuous Gaussian processes and provides further understanding of the limit result for these extremes.     

Left linear theories — A generalization of module theory

In this paper we introduce left linear theories of exponentN (a set) on the setL as mapsL ×L ^N (l, ) l · L such that for alll L and , L ^N the relation (l · ) =l( · ) holds, where · L ^N is given by ( · )(i) = (i),i N. We assume thatL has a unit, that is an element L ^N withl · =l, for alll L, and · = , for all L ^N . Next, left (resp. right)L-modules andL-M-bimodules and their homomorphisms are defined and lead to categoriesL-Mod, Mod-L, andL-M-Mod. These categories are algebraic categories and their free objects are described explicitly. Finally, Hom(X, Y) andX Y are introduced and their properties are investigated.Herrn Professor Dr. D.

On the optimality of a characterization theorem for the gamma function using the multiplication formula

Summary The following Artin type characterization of : _{+ +} is proved: Assume thatf: _{+ +} satisfies the Gauss multiplication formula for some fixedp 2,f is absolutely continuous on [l/p, 1 + ] for some > 0 and lim _{x 0} xf(x) = 1. Thenf(x) = (x) forx > 0.The optimality of this result is checked by means of counterexamples. For instance, it is shown that the result is no longer true, if f is absolutely continuous is replaced by f is continuous and of finite variation.     

Turán's extremal problem in random graphs: Forbidding odd cycles

For 0<1 and graphsG andH, we writeGH if any -proportion of the edges ofG span at least one copy ofH inG. As customary, we writeC ^k for a cycle of lengthk. We show that, for every fixed integerl1 and real >0, there exists a real constantC=C(l, ), such that almost every random graphG _{n, p} withp=p(n)Cn ^–1+1/2l satisfiesG _n,p1/2+ C ^2l+1. In particular, for any fixedl1 and >0, this result implies the existence of very sparse graphsG withG _1/2+ C ^2l+1.The first author was partially supported by NSERC.
