Compact composition operators acting between weighted Bergman spaces of the unit ball

In this paper, we study a composition operator ${C_{\varphi}}$ on the weighted Bergman space ${A_{\alpha}^p(B)}$ of the unit ball B in ${{\mathbb{C}}^N}$ . Under a natural condition we estimate the essential norm of ${C_{\varphi}}$ . As a consequence of this estimate, we also give a function-theoretic characterization of ${\varphi}$ that induces a compact composition operator on ${A_{\alpha}^p(B)}$ .     

Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy Spaces Associated with Operators and Their Applications

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a metric space with doubling measure and L a nonnegative self-adjoint operator in $L^{2}(\mathcal{X})$ satisfying the Davies–Gaffney estimates. Let $\varphi:\mathcal{X}\times[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)$ be a function such that φ(x,?) is an Orlicz function, $\varphi(\cdot,t)\in\mathbb{A}_{\infty}(\mathcal{X})$ (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights), its uniformly critical upper type index I(φ)∈(0,1], and it satisfies the uniformly reverse Hölder inequality of order 2/[2?I(φ)]. In this paper, the authors introduce a Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space $H_{\varphi,L}(\mathcal{X})$ , by the Lusin area function associated with the heat semigroup generated by L, and a Musielak–Orlicz BMO-type space $\mathrm{BMO}_{\varphi,L}(\mathcal{X})$ , which is further proved to be the dual space of $H_{\varphi,L}(\mathcal{X})$ and hence whose φ-Carleson measure characterization is deduced. Characterizations of $H_{\varphi,L}(\mathcal{X})$ , including the atom, the molecule, and the Lusin area function associated with the Poisson semigroup of L, are presented. Using the atomic characterization, the authors characterize $H_{\varphi,L}(\mathcal{X})$ in terms of the Littlewood–Paley $g^{\ast}_{\lambda}$ -function $g^{\ast}_{\lambda,L}$ and establish a Hörmander-type spectral multiplier theorem for L on $H_{\varphi,L}(\mathcal{X})$ . Moreover, for the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space H _φ,L (? ⁿ ) associated with the Schrödinger operator L:=?Δ+V, where $0\le V\in L^{1}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ , the authors obtain its several equivalent characterizations in terms of the non-tangential maximal function, the radial maximal function, the atom, and the molecule; finally, the authors show that the Riesz transform ?L ^?1/2 is bounded from H _φ,L (? ⁿ ) to the Musielak–Orlicz space L ^φ (? ⁿ ) when i(φ)∈(0,1], and from H _φ,L (? ⁿ ) to the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space H _φ (? ⁿ ) when $i(\varphi)\in(\frac{n}{n+1},1]$ , where i(φ) denotes the uniformly critical lower type index of φ.     

Composition Operators on the Lipschitz Space of a Tree

The Lipschitz space ${\mathcal{L}}$ of an infinite tree T rooted at o is defined as the space consisting of the functions ${f : T \rightarrow \mathbb{C}}$ such that $$\beta_f = {\rm sup}\{|f(v) - f(v^-)| : v \in T\backslash\{o\}, \,v^- {\rm parent \, of \,} v\}$$ is finite. Under the norm ${\|f\|_\mathcal{L} = |f(o)|+\beta_f,\mathcal{L}}$ is a Banach space. In this article, the functions φ mapping T into itself whose induced composition operator ${C_{\varphi} : f \mapsto f \circ \varphi}$ on the Lipschitz space is bounded, compact, or an isometry, are characterized. Specifically, it is shown that the symbols of the bounded composition operators are the Lipschitz maps of T into itself viewed as a metric space under the edge-counting distance. The symbols inducing compact operators have finite range while those inducing isometries on ${\mathcal{L}}$ are precisely the onto maps fixing the root and whose images of neighboring vertices coincide or are themselves neighboring vertices. Finally, the spectrum of the operators ${C_\varphi}$ that are isometries is studied in detail.     

Essential norm of the product of differentiation and composition operators between Bloch-type spaces

In this paper, we give a new characterization for the boundedness of the product of differentiation and composition operators ${C_\varphi D^m}$ acting on Bloch-type spaces and obtain an estimate for its essential norm in terms of the sequence ${\{z^n\}^{\infty}_{n=1}}$ , from which the sufficient and necessary condition of compactness of the operator ${C_\varphi D^m}$ follows immediately.     

Invertible Composition Operators: The Product of a Composition Operator with the Adjoint of a Composition Operator

In this paper, we study the product of a composition operator \(C_{\varphi }\) with the adjoint of a composition operator \(C^{*}_{\psi }\) on the Hardy space \(H^2(\mathbb {D})\) . The order of the product gives rise to two different cases. We completely characterize when the operator \(C_{\varphi }C^{*}_{\psi }\) is invertible, isometric, and unitary and when the operator \(C^{*}_{\psi }C_{\varphi }\) is isometric and unitary. If one of the inducing maps \(\varphi \) or \(\psi \) is univalent, we completely characterize when \(C^{*}_{\psi }C_{\varphi }\) is invertible.     

On averages of Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms

Let φ be a primitive Maass cusp form and t _φ (n) be its nth Fourier coefficient at the cusp infinity. In this short note, we are interested in the estimation of the sums ${\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n)}$ and ${\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n^2)}$ . We are able to improve the previous results by showing that for any ${\varepsilon > 0}$ $$\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n) \ll\, _{\varphi, \varepsilon} x^{\frac{1027}{2827} + \varepsilon} \quad {and}\quad\sum_{n \leq x}t_{\varphi}(n^2) \ll\,_{\varphi, \varepsilon} x^{\frac{489}{861} + \varepsilon}.$$      

Maximal, potential and singular operators in vanishing generalized Morrey spaces

We introduce vanishing generalized Morrey spaces ${V\mathcal{L}^{p,\varphi}_\Pi (\Omega), \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n}$ with a general function ${\varphi(x, r)}$ defining the Morrey-type norm. Here ${\Pi \subseteq \Omega}$ is an arbitrary subset in Ω including the extremal cases ${\Pi = \{x_0\}, x_0 \in \Omega}$ and Π = Ω, which allows to unify vanishing local and global Morrey spaces. In the spaces ${V\mathcal{L}^{p,\varphi}_\Pi (\mathbb{R}^n)}$ we prove the boundedness of a class of sublinear singular operators, which includes Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and Calderon-Zygmund singular operators with standard kernel. We also prove a Sobolev-Spanne type ${V\mathcal{L}^{p,\varphi}_\Pi (\mathbb{R}^n) \rightarrow V\mathcal{L}^{q,\varphi^\frac{q}{p}}_\Pi (\mathbb{R}^n)}$ -theorem for the potential operator I ^α . The conditions for the boundedness are given in terms of Zygmund-type integral inequalities on ${\varphi(x, r)}$ . No monotonicity type condition is imposed on ${\varphi(x, r)}$ . In case ${\varphi}$ has quasi- monotone properties, as a consequence of the main results, the conditions of the boundedness are also given in terms of the Matuszeska-Orlicz indices of the function ${\varphi}$ . The proofs are based on pointwise estimates of the modulars defining the vanishing spaces     

On the strongest locally convex Lebesgue topology on Orlicz spaces

Let L^φ be an Orlicz space defined by an Orlicz function φ taking only finite values with ${{\rm lim\ inf}\atop {u\rightarrow \infty}}{\varphi(u)\over u} >0$ (not necessarily convex) over a complete, σ-finite and atomless measure space and let L^φ)_n ^～ stand for the order continuous dual of Lφ. Then the strongest locally convex Lebesgue topology τ on Lφ (= the Mackey topology τ(Lφ, (Lφ)_n ^～) is equal to the restriction of the strongest Lebesgue topology η on $L^{\overline\varphi}$ , where $\overline\varphi$ is the convex minorant of φ and τ is generated by a family of norms defined by some convex Orlicz functions.     

Mass Transport and Uniform Rectifiability

In this paper we characterize the so called uniformly rectifiable sets of David and Semmes in terms of the Wasserstein distance W ₂ from optimal mass transport. To obtain this result, we first prove a localization theorem for the distance W ₂ which asserts that if??? and ?? are probability measures in ${{\mathbb{R}^n}}$ , ${{\varphi}}$ is a radial bump function smooth enough so that ${{\int \varphi d \mu \gtrsim 1}}$ , and??? has a density bounded from above and from below on supp( ${{\varphi}}$ ), then ${{W_2(\varphi \mu, a\varphi \nu) \leq cW_2(\mu, \nu)}}$ , where ${{a = \int \varphi d\mu/ \int \varphi d\nu}}$ .     

Generalized Lax-Milgram theorem in Banach spaces and its application to the elliptic system of boundary value problems

We generalize the well-known Lax-Milgram theorem on the Hilbert space to that on the Banach space. Suppose that ${a(\cdot, \cdot)}$ is a continuous bilinear form on the product ${X\times Y}$ of Banach spaces X and Y, where Y is reflexive. If null spaces N _X and N _Y associated with ${a(\cdot, \cdot)}$ have complements in X and in Y, respectively, and if ${a(\cdot, \cdot)}$ satisfies certain variational inequalities both in X and in Y, then for every ${F \in N_Y^{\perp}}$ , i.e., ${F \in Y^{\ast}}$ with ${F(\phi) = 0}$ for all ${\phi \in N_Y}$ , there exists at least one ${u \in X}$ such that ${a(u, \varphi) = F(\varphi)}$ holds for all ${\varphi \in Y}$ with ${\|u\|_X \le C\|F\|_{Y^{\ast}}}$ . We apply our result to several existence theorems of L ^r -solutions to the elliptic system of boundary value problems appearing in the fluid mechanics.     

Algebraic and geometric properties of quadratic Hamiltonians determined by sectional operators

Following the terminology introduced by V. V. Trofimov and A. T. Fomenko, we say that a self-adjoint operator $\varphi :\mathfrak{g}* \to \mathfrak{g}$ is sectional if it satisfies the identity ad _?x ^* a = ad _β ^* x, $x \in \mathfrak{g}*$ , where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and $a \in \mathfrak{g}*$ and $\beta \in \mathfrak{g}$ are fixed elements. In the case of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ , the above identity takes the form [?x, a] = [β, x] and naturally arises in the theory of integrable systems and differential geometry (namely, in the dynamics of n-dimensional rigid bodies, the argument shift method, and the classification of projectively equivalent Riemannian metrics). This paper studies general properties of sectional operators, in particular, integrability and the bi-Hamiltonian property for the corresponding Euler equation $\dot x = ad_{\varphi x}^* x$ .     

A sharp lower bound for the log canonical threshold

In this note, we prove a sharp lower bound for the log canonical threshold of a plurisubharmonic function ${\varphi}$ with an isolated singularity at 0 in an open subset of ${\mathbb{C}^n}$ . This threshold is defined as the supremum of constants c > 0 such that ${e^{-2c\varphi}}$ is integrable on a neighborhood of 0. We relate ${c(\varphi)}$ to the intermediate multiplicity numbers ${e_j(\varphi)}$ , defined as the Lelong numbers of ${(dd^c\varphi)^j}$ at 0 (so that in particular ${e_0(\varphi)=1}$ ). Our main result is that ${c(\varphi)\geqslant\sum_{j=0}^{n-1} e_j(\varphi)/e_{j+1}(\varphi)}$ . This inequality is shown to be sharp; it simultaneously improves the classical result ${c(\varphi)\geqslant 1/e_1(\varphi)}$ due to Skoda, as well as the lower estimate ${c(\varphi)\geqslant n/e_n(\varphi)^{1/n}}$ which has received crucial applications to birational geometry in recent years. The proof consists in a reduction to the toric case, i.e. singularities arising from monomial ideals.     

Cubic symmetric polynomials yielding variations of the Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv theorem

Let p be a prime and let $\varphi\in\mathbb{Z}_{p}[x_{1},x_{2},\ldots, x_{p}]$ be a symmetric polynomial, where  $\mathbb {Z}_{p}$ is the field of p elements. A sequence T in  $\mathbb {Z}_{p}$ of length p is called a φ-zero sequence if φ(T)=0; a sequence in $\mathbb {Z}_{p}$ is called a φ-zero free sequence if it does not contain any φ-zero subsequence. Motivated by the EGZ theorem for the prime p, we consider symmetric polynomials $\varphi\in \mathbb {Z}_{p}[x_{1},x_{2},\ldots, x_{p}]$ , which satisfy the following two conditions: (i) every sequence in  $\mathbb {Z}_{p}$ of length 2p?1 contains a φ-zero subsequence, and (ii) the φ-zero free sequences in  $\mathbb {Z}_{p}$ of maximal length are all those containing exactly two distinct elements, where each element appears p?1 times. In this paper, we determine all symmetric polynomials in $\mathbb {Z}_{p}[x_{1},x_{2},\ldots, x_{p}]$ of degree not exceeding 3 satisfying the conditions above.     

Singular Solutions of the Generalized Dhombres Functional Equation

We consider singular solutions of the functional equation ${f(xf(x)) = \varphi (f(x))}$ where ${\varphi}$ is a given and f an unknown continuous map ${\mathbb R_{+} \rightarrow \mathbb R_{+}}$ . A solution f is regular if the sets ${R_f \cap (0, 1]}$ and ${R_f \cap [1, \infty)}$ , where R _f is the range of f, are ${\varphi}$ -invariant; otherwise f is singular. We show that for singular solutions the associated dynamical system ${({R_f}, \varphi|_{R_f})}$ can have strange properties unknown for the regular solutions. In particular, we show that ${\varphi |_{R_f}}$ can have a periodic point of period 3 and hence can be chaotic in a strong sense. We also provide an effective method of construction of singular solutions.     

On the Equality Problem of Conjugate Means

Let ${I\subset\mathbb{R}}$ be a nonvoid open interval and let L : I ²→ I be a fixed strict mean. A function M : I ²→ I is said to be an L-conjugate mean on I if there exist ${p,q\in\,]0,1]}$ and ${\varphi\in CM(I)}$ such that $$M(x,y):=\varphi^{-1}(p\varphi(x)+q\varphi(y)+(1-p-q) \varphi(L(x,y)))=:L_\varphi^{(p,q)}(x,y),$$ for all ${x,y\in I}$ . Here L(x, y) : = A _χ(x, y) ${(x,y\in I)}$ is a fixed quasi-arithmetic mean with the fixed generating function ${\chi\in CM(I)}$ . We examine the following question: which L-conjugate means are weighted quasi-arithmetic means with weight ${r\in\, ]0,1[}$ at the same time? This question is a functional equation problem: Characterize the functions ${\varphi,\psi\in CM(I)}$ and the parameters ${p,q\in\,]0,1]}$ , ${r\in\,]0,1[}$ for which the equation $$L_\varphi^{(p,q)}(x,y)=L_\psi^{(r,1-r)}(x,y)$$ holds for all ${x,y\in I}$ .     

On Transversally Elliptic Operators and the Quantization of Manifolds with f-Structure

Given an f-structure ${\varphi}$ on a manifold M, together with a compatible metric g and connection ${\nabla}$ on M, we construct an odd firstorder differential operator D whose principal symbol is of the type considered in [13]. In the special case of a CR-integrable almost ${\mathcal {S}}$ -structure, we show that when ${\nabla}$ is the generalized Tanaka-Webster connection of Lotta and Pastore, the operator D is given by D = ${{\sqrt {2} (\overline {\partial}_b + \overline{\partial}_{b}^{\ast})}}$ , where ${\overline {\partial}_b}$ is the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator. We then describe two types of “quantization” of manifolds with f-structure that reduce to familiar methods in symplectic geometry in the case that ${\varphi}$ is a compatible almost complex structure, and to the contact quantizations defined in [16] when ${\varphi}$ comes from a contact metric structure.     

Weighted Composition Operators from the Minimal Möbius Invariant Space into the Bloch Space

Let ${{\varphi}}$ be an analytic self-map of the open unit disk ${{\mathbb{D}}}$ in the complex plane ${{\mathbb{C}, H(\mathbb{D})}}$ the space of complex-valued analytic functions on ${{\mathbb{D}}}$ , and let u be a fixed function in ${{H(\mathbb{D})}}$ . The weighted composition operator is defined by $$(uC_{\varphi}f)(z) = u(z)f({\varphi}(z)), \quad z \in \mathbb{D}, f \in H(\mathbb{D}).$$ In this paper, we study the boundedness and the compactness of the weighted composition operators from the minimal Möbius invariant space into the Bloch space and the little Bloch space.     

The Essential Norm of a Generalized Composition Operator Between Bloch-Type Spaces and Q K Type Spaces

Let ?? be an analytic self-map of the unit disk ${\rm \mathbb{D},H(\rm \mathbb{D})}$ the space of analytic functions on ${{\rm \mathbb{D}}}$ and ${g \in H(\rm \mathbb{D})}$ . We define a linear operator as follows $$C_\varphi^gf(z)=\int\limits_0^zf'(\varphi(w))g(w)\, {\rm d}w, $$ on ${ H(\rm \mathbb{D})}$ . In this paper, estimates for the essential norm of the generalized composition operator between Bloch-type spaces and Q _K type spaces are obtained.
