We extend a result of ?estakov to compare the complex interpolation method [X ₀, X ₁]_θ with Calderón-Lozanovskii’s construction ${{{{X^{1-\theta}_{0}X^{\theta}_{1}}}}}We extend a result of Šestakov to compare the complex interpolation method [X ₀, X ₁]_θ with Calderón-Lozanovskii’s construction X^1-q₀X^q₁{{{{X^{1-\theta}_{0}X^{\theta}_{1}}}}}, in the context of abstract Banach lattices. This allows us to prove that an operator between Banach lattices T : E → F which is p-convex and q-concave, factors, for any q ?

Operator-valued H ∞-calculus in Inter- and Extrapolation Spaces

We generalize a Hilbert space result by Auscher, McIntosh and Nahmod to arbitrary Banach spaces X and to not densely defined injective sectorial operators A. A convenient tool proves to be a certain universal extrapolation space associated with A. We characterize the real interpolation space ( X,D( A^a ) ?R( A^a ) )_q,p{\left( {X,\mathcal{D}{\left( {A^{\alpha } } \right)} \cap \mathcal{R}{\left( {A^{\alpha } } \right)}} \right)}_{{\theta ,p}} as

A note on a conjecture of Borwein and Choi

A polynomial P(X) with coefficients {ǃ} of odd degree N - 1 is cyclotomic if and only if¶¶P(X) = ±F_p1 (±X)F_p2(±X^p1) ?F_pr(±X^{p1 p2 ?p_r-1}) P(X) = \pm \Phi_{p1} (\pm X)\Phi_{p2}(\pm X^{p1}) \cdots \Phi_{p_r}(\pm X^{p1 p2 \cdots p_r-1}) ¶where N = p₁ p₂ · · · p_r and the p_i are primes, not necessarily distinct, and where F_p(X) : = (X^p - 1) / (X - 1) \Phi_{p}(X) := (X^{p} - 1) / (X - 1) is the p-th cyclotomic polynomial. This is a conjecture of Borwein and Choi [1]. We prove this conjecture for a class of polynomials of degree N - 1 = 2^r p^l - 1 N - 1 = 2^{r} p^{\ell} - 1 for any odd prime p and for integers r, l\geqq 1 r, \ell \geqq 1 .     

Orthogonalities in linear spaces and difference operators

Summary. Quite recently C. Alsina, P. Cruells and M. S. Tomás [2], motivated by F. Suzuki's property of isosceles trapezoids, have proposed the following orthogonality relation in a real normed linear space (X, ||·||) (X, \Vert \cdot \Vert) : two vectors x,y ? X x,y \in X are T-orthogonal whenever¶||z-x ||² + ||z-y ||² = ||z ||² + ||z-(x+y) ||² \Vert z-x \Vert^2 + \Vert z-y \Vert^2 = \Vert z \Vert^2 + \Vert z-(x+y) \Vert^2 ¶for every z ? X z \in X . A natural question arises whether an analogue of T-orthogonality may be defined in any real linear space (without a norm structure). Our proposal reads as follows. Given a functional j \varphi on a real linear space X we say that two vectors x,y ? X x,y \in X are j \varphi -orthogonal (and write x^_jy x\perp_{\varphi}y ) provided that D_x,yj = 0 \Delta_{x,y}\varphi = 0 (D_h1,h2 \Delta_{h_1,h_2} stands here and in the sequel for the superposition D_h1 °D_h2 \Delta_{h_1} \circ \Delta_{h_2} of the usual difference operators).¶We are looking for necessary and/or sufficient conditions upon the functional j \varphi to generate a j \varphi -orthogonality such that the pair X,^_j X,\perp_{\varphi} forms an orthogonality space in the sense of J. Rätz (cf. [6]). Two new characterizations of inner product spaces as well as a generalization of some results obtained in [2] are presented.     

Some estimates of Schrödinger type operators on the Heisenberg group

In this paper, we consider the Schrödinger type operator ${H = (-\Delta _{\mathbb {H}}^n)^2 +V ^{2}}In this paper, we consider the Schr?dinger type operator H = (-D_{\mathbb H}ⁿ)² +V ²{H = (-\Delta _{\mathbb {H}}^n)^2 +V ^{2}}, where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse H?lder class B_q1 for q₁ 3 \frac Q 2,Q 3 6{B_{{q}_{1}}\, {\rm for}\, q_{1}\geq {\frac {Q}{ 2}},Q \geq 6}, and D_{\mathbb Hⁿ}{\Delta_{\mathbb {H}^n}} is the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group \mathbb Hⁿ{\mathbb {H}^n}. An L ^p estimate and a weak type L ¹ estimate for the operator ?⁴_{\mathbb Hⁿ} H^-1{\nabla^4_{\mathbb {H}^n} H^{-1}} when V ? B_q1{V \in B_{{q}_{1}}} for 1 < p ￡ \fracq₁2{1 < p \leq \frac{q_{1}}{2}} are obtained.     

Linear Maps Preserving Operators of Local Spectral Radius Zero

Let X be a complex Banach space and let B(X){\mathcal{B}(X)} be the space of all bounded linear operators on X. For x ? X{x \in X} and T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X)}, let r_T(x) = limsup_{n ? ￥} || Tⁿx|| ^1/n{r_{T}(x) =\limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \| T^{n}x\| ^{1/n}} denote the local spectral radius of T at x. We prove that if j: B(X) ? B(X){\varphi : \mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(X)} is linear and surjective such that for every x ? X{x \in X} we have r _T (x) = 0 if and only if r_j(T)(x) = 0{r_{\varphi(T)}(x) = 0}, there exists then a nonzero complex number c such that j(T) = cT{\varphi(T) = cT} for all T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X) }. We also prove that if Y is a complex Banach space and j:B(X) ? B(Y){\varphi :\mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(Y)} is linear and invertible for which there exists B ? B(Y, X){B \in \mathcal{B}(Y, X)} such that for y ? Y{y \in Y} we have r _T (By) = 0 if and only if r_{j( T)} (y)=0{ r_{\varphi ( T) }(y)=0}, then B is invertible and there exists a nonzero complex number c such that j(T) = cB^-1TB{\varphi(T) =cB^{-1}TB} for all T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X)}.     

Maximum IPP Codes of Length 3

Let Q be an alphabet with q elements. For any code C over Q of length n and for any two codewords a = (a ₁, . . . , a _n ) and b = (b ₁, . . . , b _n ) in C, let ${D({\bf a, b}) = \{(x_1, . . . , x_n) \in {Q^n} : {x_i} \in \{a_i, b_i\}\,{\rm for}\,1 \leq i \leq n\}}Let Q be an alphabet with q elements. For any code C over Q of length n and for any two codewords a = (a ₁, . . . , a _n ) and b = (b ₁, . . . , b _n ) in C, let D(a, b) = {(x₁, . . . , x_n) ? Qⁿ : x_i ? {a_i, b_i} for 1 ￡ i ￡ n}{D({\bf a, b}) = \{(x_1, . . . , x_n) \in {Q^n} : {x_i} \in \{a_i, b_i\}\,{\rm for}\,1 \leq i \leq n\}}. Let C^* = è_{a, b ? C}D(a, b){C^* = {{\bigcup}_{\rm {a,\,b}\in{C}}}D({\bf a, b})}. The code C is said to have the identifiable parent property (IPP) if, for any x ? C^*{{\rm {\bf x}} \in C^*}, ?_{x ? D(a, b)}{a, b} 1 ?{{\bigcap}_{{\rm x}{\in}D({\rm a,\,b})}\{{\bf a, b}\}\neq \emptyset} . Codes with the IPP were introduced by Hollmann et al [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 82 (1998) 21–133]. Let F(n, q) = max{|C|: C is a q-ary code of length n with the IPP}.T? and Safavi-Naini [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 17 (2004) 548–570] showed that 3q + 6 - 6 é?{q+1}ù ￡ F(3, q) ￡ 3q + 6 - é6 ?{q+1}ù{3q + 6 - 6 \lceil\sqrt{q+1}\rceil \leq F(3, q) \leq 3q + 6 - \lceil 6 \sqrt{q+1}\rceil}, and determined F (3, q) precisely when q ≤ 48 or when q can be expressed as r ² + 2r or r ² + 3r +2 for r ≥ 2. In this paper, we establish a precise formula of F(3, q) for q ≥ 24. Moreover, we construct IPP codes of size F(3, q) for q ≥ 24 and show that, for any such code C and any x ? C^*{{\rm {\bf x}} \in C^*}, one can find, in constant time, a ? C{{\rm {\bf a}} \in C} such that if x ? D (c, d){{\rm {\bf x}} \in D ({\bf c, d})} then a ? {c, d}{{\rm {\bf a}} \in \{{\rm {\bf c, d}}\}}.     

The stability of the elliptic equilibrium of planar quasi-periodic Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, we study the planar Hamiltonian system  = J (A(θ)x + ▽f(x, θ)), θ = ω, x ∈ R2 , θ∈ Td , where f is real analytic in x and θ, A(θ) is a 2 × 2 real analytic symmetric matrix, J = (1-1 ) and ω is a Diophantine vector. Under the assumption that the unperturbed system  = JA(θ)x, θ = ω is reducible and stable, we obtain a series of criteria for the stability and instability of the equilibrium of the perturbed system.

When N = 2m, the same property holds if ${\int_0^1 s^{-1} \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) \ln \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) {\rm d}s > - \infty}${\int_0^1 s^{-1} \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) \ln \left( \mathop{\rm meas}\nolimits \{x \in \Omega : |a(x)| \leq s \} \right) {\rm d}s > - \infty}.     

A Characteristic Property of Injective Holomorphic Germs

Let X ₀ be the germ at 0 of a complex variety and let f: X₀? \Bbb Cⁿ₀f:\ X_0\rightarrow {\Bbb C}^n_0 be a holomorphic germ. We say that f is pseudoimmersive if for any g: \Bbb R₀? X₀g:\ {\Bbb R}_0\rightarrow X_0 such that f °g ? C^￥ f \circ g \in C^{\infty} , we have g ? C^￥g\in C^{\infty} . We prove that f is pseudoimmersive if and only if it is injective. Some results about the real case are also considered.     

A New Recursion in the Theory of Macdonald Polynomials

The bigraded Frobenius characteristic of the Garsia-Haiman module M _μ is known [7, 10] to be given by the modified Macdonald polynomial [(H)\tilde]_m[X; q, t]{\tilde{H}_{\mu}[X; q, t]}. It follows from this that, for m\vdash n{\mu \vdash n} the symmetric polynomial ?_p1 [(H)\tilde]_m[X; q, t]{{\partial_{p1}} \tilde{H}_{\mu}[X; q, t]} is the bigraded Frobenius characteristic of the restriction of M _μ from S _n to S _n-1. The theory of Macdonald polynomials gives explicit formulas for the coefficients c _{μ v} occurring in the expansion ?_p1 [(H)\tilde]_m[X; q, t] = ?_{v ? m}c_mv [(H)\tilde]_v[X; q, t]{{\partial_{p1}} \tilde{H}_{\mu}[X; q, t] = \sum_{v \to \mu}c_{\mu v} \tilde{H}_{v}[X; q, t]}. In particular, it follows from this formula that the bigraded Hilbert series F μ (q, t) of M _μ may be calculated from the recursion F_m (q, t) = ?_{v ? m}c_mv F_v (q, t){F_\mu (q, t) = \sum_{v \to \mu}c_{\mu v} F_v (q, t)}. One of the frustrating problems of the theory of Macdonald polynomials has been to derive from this recursion that Fm(q, t) ? N[q, t]{F\mu (q, t) \in \mathbf{N}[q, t]}. This difficulty arises from the fact that the c _{μ v} have rather intricate expressions as rational functions in q, t. We give here a new recursion, from which a new combinatorial formula for F _μ (q, t) can be derived when μ is a two-column partition. The proof suggests a method for deriving an analogous formula in the general case. The method was successfully carried out for the hook case by Yoo in [15].     

On groups acting freely on a tree

Suppose we are given a group G\mit\Gamma and a tree X on which G\mit\Gamma acts. Let d be the distance in the tree. Then we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the numbers a_d: = # {w ? vertX : w=gv, g ? G , d(v₀,w)=d }a_d:= \# \{w\in {\rm {vert}}X : w=\gamma {v}, \gamma \in {\mit\Gamma} , d({v}_0,w)=d \} if d? ￥d\rightarrow \infty , where v, v_o are some fixed vertices in X.¶ In this paper we consider the case where G\mit\Gamma is a finitely generated group acting freely on a tree X. The growth function ?a_d x^d\textstyle\sum\limits a_d x^d is a rational function [3], which we describe explicitely. From this we get estimates for the radius of convergence of the series. For the cases where G\mit\Gamma is generated by one or two elements, we look a little bit closer at the denominator of this rational function. At the end we give one concrete example.     

Sums of primes and squares of primes in short intervals

Let H₂{\mathcal H_2} denote the set of even integers n \not o 1 mod 3{n \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3} . We prove that when H ≥ X ^0.33, almost all integers n ? H₂ ?(X, X + H]{n \in \mathcal H_2 \cap (X, X + H]} can be represented as the sum of a prime and the square of a prime. We also prove a similar result for sums of three squares of primes.

Bounded solutions of the Golab—Schinzel equation

Summary. Let \Bbb K {\Bbb K} be either the field of reals or the field of complex numbers, X be an F-space (i.e. a Fréchet space) over \Bbb K {\Bbb K} n be a positive integer, and f : X ? \Bbb K f : X \to {\Bbb K} be a solution of the functional equation¶¶f(x + f(x)ⁿ y) = f(x) f(y) f(x + f(x)^n y) = f(x) f(y) .¶We prove that, if there is a real positive a such that the set { x ? X : |f(x)| ? (0, a)} \{ x \in X : |f(x)| \in (0, a)\} contains a subset of second category and with the Baire property, then f is continuous or { x ? X : |f(x)| ? (0, a)} \{ x \in X : |f(x)| \in (0, a)\} for every x ? X x \in X . As a consequence of this we obtain the following fact: Every Baire measurable solution f : X ? \Bbb K f : X \to {\Bbb K} of the equation is continuous or equal zero almost everywhere (i.e., there is a first category set A ì X A \subset X with f(X \A) = { 0 }) f(X \backslash A) = \{ 0 \}) .
