Duality problem for disjointly homogeneous rearrangement invariant spaces

Let $1\le p<\infty$. A Banach lattice E is said to be disjointly homogeneous (resp. p-disjointly homogeneous) if two arbitrary normalized disjoint sequences from E contain equivalent in E subsequences (resp. every normalized disjoint sequence contains a subsequence equivalent in E to the unit vector basis of $l_p$). Answering a question raised in the paper [11], for each $1<p<\infty$, we construct a reflexive p-disjointly homogeneous rearrangement invariant space on $[0,1]$ whose dual is not disjointly homogeneous. Employing methods from interpolation theory, we provide new examples of disjointly homogeneous rearrangement invariant spaces; in particular, we show that there is a Tsirelson type disjointly homogeneous rearrangement invariant space, which contains no subspace isomorphic to $l_p$, $1\le p<\infty$, or $c_0$.     

On the existence of RUC systems in rearrangement invariant spaces

We characterize rearrangement invariant spaces X on [0, 1] with the property that each orthonormal system in X which is uniformly bounded in some Marcinkiewicz space , for equivalent to , , is a system of Random Unconditional Convergence (RUC system).     

Functional properties of rearrangement invariant spaces defined in terms of oscillations

Function spaces whose definition involves the quantity f^**-f^*, which measures the oscillation of f^*, have recently attracted plenty of interest and proved to have many applications in various, quite diverse fields. Primary role is played by the spaces S_p(w), with 0<p<∞ and w a weight function on (0,∞), defined as the set of Lebesgue-measurable functions on R such that f^*(∞)=0 and

     

Limits of higher-order Besov spaces and sharp reiteration theorems

We compute the limits of higher-order Besov norms and derive the sharp constants for certain forms of the Sobolev embedding theorem. Our results extend to higher-order spaces the recent work by Brézis-Bourgain-Mironescu and Maz’ya-Shaposhnikova. The interpolation methods we develop are of interest on their own and could have applications to related inequalities.     

Criteria for embedding of spaces constructed by the method of means with arbitrary quasi-concave functional parameters

We consider a generalization ?(X₀,X₁)_p0,p1 of the method of means to arbitrary non-degenerate functional parameter. In this case non-trivial embedding ?(X₀,X₁)_p0,p1⊂ψ(X₀,X₁)_q0,q1 take place. We find necessary and sufficient condition for such embedding if 1?q₀?p₀?∞ and 1?q₁?p₁?∞ or 1?p₀?q₀?∞ and 1?p₁?q₁?∞.     

On interpolation of Banach algebras and factorization of weakly compact homomorphisms

We show a necessary and sufficient condition on the lattice Γ for the general real method to preserve the Banach-algebra structure. As an application we derive factorization of weakly compact homomorphisms through interpolation properties of weakly compact operators.     

Interpolation of Bilinear Operators Between Quasi-Banach Spaces

We study interpolation, generated by an abstract method of means, of bilinear operators between quasi-Banach spaces. It is shown that under suitable conditions on the type of these spaces and the boundedness of the classical convolution operator between the corresponding quasi-Banach sequence spaces, bilinear interpolation is possible. Applications to the classical real method spaces, Calderón-Lozanovsky spaces, and Lorentz-Zygmund spaces are presented.

Cesaro mean convergence of martingale differences in rearrangement invariant spaces

We study the class of r.i. spaces in which Cesaro means of any weakly null martingale difference sequence is strongly null. This property is related to the Banach-Saks property. We show that in classical (separable) r.i. spaces (such as Orlicz, Lorentz and Marcinkiewicz spaces) these properties coincide but this is no longer true for general r.i. spaces. We locate also a class of r.i. spaces having this property where an analogue of the classical Dunford-Pettis characterization of relatively weakly compact subsets in L ₁ holds. Research was partially supported by the ARC and NSF grant DMS-0244515.     

Refined limiting imbeddings for Sobolev spaces of vector-valued functions

We prove a refined limiting imbedding theorem of the Brézis-Wainger type in the first critical case, i.e. , for Sobolev spaces and Bessel potential spaces of functions with values in a general Banach space E. In particular, the space E may lack the UMD property.     

A distance between orbits that controls commutator estimates and invertibility of operators

A distance between orbit spaces generated by a single element is introduced and it is shown that if an operator is invertible in one orbit it is also invertible in nearby orbits, thus proving a version of Shneiberg's theorem for orbital methods. The same machinery is used to extend the celebrated Rochberg-Weiss commutator theorem to the setting of orbital methods. It is shown that these results apply to the real and complex methods of interpolation by proving that these methods can be suitably obtained as orbits of a single element.     

Interpolation of bilinear operators and compactness

The behavior of bilinear operators acting on interpolation of Banach spaces for the ρ method in relation to the compactness is analyzed. Similar results of Lions-Peetre, Hayakawa and Persson’s compactness theorems are obtained for the bilinear case and the ρ method.     

Interpolation of Hardy spaces on circular domains

In the paper, abstract interpolation of Hardy spaces on circular domains is studied. In particular, an extension of Peter Jones's result on the interpolation of Hardy spaces on the disc to multiply‐connected domains is presented. Moreover, some applications in approximation theory are given.

Korn type inequalities in Orlicz spaces

We exhibit balance conditions between a Young function A and a Young function B   for a Korn type inequality to hold between the L^B$L^B$ norm of the gradient of vector-valued functions and the L^A$L^A$ norm of its symmetric part. In particular, we extend a standard form of the Korn inequality in L^p$L^p$, with 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$, and an Orlicz version involving a Young function A   satisfying both the _Δ2${\mathrm{\Delta }}_2$ and the _∇2${\mathrm{\nabla }}_2$ condition.     

On Stein's extension operator preserving Sobolev–Morrey spaces

We prove that Stein's extension operator preserves Sobolev–Morrey spaces, that is spaces of functions with weak derivatives in Morrey spaces. The analysis concerns classical and generalized Morrey spaces on bounded and unbounded domains with Lipschitz boundaries in the n‐dimensional Euclidean space.     

Traces of functions in Hardy and Besov spaces on Lipschitz domains with applications to compensated compactness and the theory of Hardy and Bergman type spaces

In this paper we study conditions guaranteeing that functions defined on a Lipschitz domain Ω have boundary traces in Hardy and Besov spaces on ∂Ω. In turn these results are used to develop a new approach to the theory of compensated compactness and the theory of non-locally convex Hardy and Bergman type spaces.
