Infinitesimal obstructions to weakly mixing

Let ^t be the flow (parametrized with respect to arc length) of a smooth unit vector field v on a closed Riemannian manifold M ⁿ , whose orbits are geodesics. Then the (n-1)-plane field normal to v, v, is invariant under d ^t and, for each x M, we define a smooth real function _x (t) : (1 + _i (t)), where the _i(t) are the eigenvalues of AA ^T, A being the matrix (with respect to orthonormal bases) of the non-singular linear map d^2t , restricted to v at the point _x ^-t M ⁿ.Among other things, we prove the Theorem (Theorem II, below). Assume v is also volume preserving and that _x ^' (t) 0 for all x M and real t; then, if _x ^t : M M is weakly missng for some t, it is necessary that vx 0 at all x M.     

Perron-frobenius theory for Banach spaces with a hyperbolic cone

If X is a real Banach space, then the inequality x defines so-called hyperbolic cone in E=X. We develop a relevant version of Perron-Frobenius-Krein-Rutman theory.

Equivalent Sets of Solutions of the Klein–Gordon Equation with a Constant Electric Field

We argue extensively in favor of our earlier choice of the in and out states (among the solutions of a wave equation with one-dimensional potential). In this connection, we study the nonstationary and stationary families of complete sets of solutions of the Klein–Gordon equation with a constant electric field. A nonstationary set _Pv consists of the solutions with the quantum number p _v=p ⁰ v–p₃. It can be obtained from the nonstationary set _P3 with the quantum number p ₃ by a boost along the x ₃ axis (in the direction of the electric field) with the velocity –v. By changing the gauge, we can bring the solutions in all sets to the same potential without changing quantum numbers. Then the transformations of solutions in one set (with the quantum number p _v) to the solutions in another set (with the quantum number p _v) have group properties. The stationary solutions and sets have the same properties as the nonstationary ones and are obtainable from stationary solutions with the quantum number p ⁰ by the same boost. It turns out that each set can be obtained from any other by gauge manipulations. All sets are therefore equivalent, and the classification (i.e., assigning the frequency sign and the in and out indices) in any set is determined by the classification in the set _P3, where it is obvious.     

Distributional control and generalized analyticity

Let S be a strongly continuous, separation-preserving representation of a locally compact abelian group G in L^p(), where 1p<, and is an arbitrary measure. We show that S is uniformly bounded with respect to the L^p-and L-norms if and only if it satisfies a certain boundedness condition for distribution functions. These equivalent conditions facilitate the transference from L^p(G) to L^p() of the a.e. convergence for a wide class of sequences of convolution operators. The result unifies and generalizes various aspects of ergodic theory--in particular, the ergodic singular integral operators and ergodic Hardy spaces.     

A survey of pseudo (v,k, λ)-designs

This work is an attempt to give a complete survey of all known results about pseudo (v, k, )-designs. In doing this, the author hopes to bring more attention to his conjecture given in Section 6; an affirmative answer to this conjecture would settle completely the existence and construction problem for a pseudo (v, k, )-design in terms of the existence of an appropriate (v, k, )-design.

Nonexistence of new order-9 projective plane with order-13 collineation

The order-9 Desarguesian projective plane and the known self-dual non-Desarguesian plane (Carmichael or Hughes plane) each have a 13-collineation displacing all points and all lines. We show that no previously undiscovered 9-plane has this property.     

Speed of convergence as a function of given accuracy for random search methods

The essence of this article lies in a demonstration of the fact that for some random search methods (r.s.m.) of global optimization, the number of the objective function evaluations required to reach a given accuracy may have very slow (logarithmic) growth to infinity as the accuracy tends to zero. Several inequalities of this kind are derived for some typical Markovian monotone r.s.m. in metric spaces including thed-dimensional Euclidean space ^d and its compact subsets. In the compact case, one of the main results may be briefly outlined as a constructive theorem of existence: if is a first moment of approaching a good subset of-neighbourhood ofx ₀=arg maxf by some random search sequence (r.s.s.), then we may choose parameters of this r.s.s. in such a way that E c(f) In² . Certainly, some restrictions on metric space and functionf are required.     

Über eine Verallgemeinerung der Nicoletti-Aufgabe für Funktional-Differentialgleichungen mit voreilendem Argument

We consider a functional differential equation (1) (t)=F(t,) fort[0,+) together with a generalized Nicoletti condition (2)H()=. The functionF: [0,+)×C ⁰[0,+)B is given (whereB denotes the Banach space) and the value ofF (t, ) may depend on the values of (t) fort[0,+);H: C ⁰[0,+)B is a given linear operator and B. Under suitable assumptions we show that when the solution :[0,+)B satisfies a certain growth condition, then there exists exactly one solution of the problem (1), (2).     

Some properties of the riesz charge associated with a δ-subharmonic function

The first property is a refinement of earlier results of Ch. de la Vallée Poussin, M. Brelot, and A. F. Grishin. Let w=u–v with u, v superharmonic on a suitable harmonic space (for example an open subset of R ⁿ ), and let [w]=[u]–[v] denote the associated Riesz charge. If w0, and if E denotes the set of those points of at which the lim inf of w in thefine topology is 0, then the restriction of [w] to E is 0. Another property states that, if e denotes a polar subset of such that the fine lim inf of |w| at each point of e is finite, then the restriction of [w] to e is 0.

Sur l'homotopie rationnelle des espaces fonctionnels

Let X be a nilpotent space such that it exists k1 with H^p (X,) = 0 p > k and H^k (X,) 0, let Y be a (m–1)-connected space with mk+2, then the rational homotopy Lie algebra of Y^X (resp. is isomorphic as Lie algebra, to H^* (X,) (_* (Y) ) (resp.⁺ (X,) (_* (Y) )). If X is formal and Y -formal, then the spaces Y^X and are -formal. Furthermore, if dim _* (Y) is infinite and dim H^* (Y,Q) is finite, then the sequence of Betti numbers of grows exponentially.     

On the equation of similar profiles

By the additional conditionf>0 on (0, ) or, alternately 0<1, the uniqueness of the solution is demonstrated.If=1,<0, arbitrary the existence of solutions for which –1<f<0 in some initial interval (0,t) and satisfying generallyf>1 is established. In both problems, bounds forf (0) and qualitative behavior of the solutions are shown.

Isomorphism of one-place functors Ext

Let be an associative ring with identity. One considers the category of left (unitary) -modules m and also the contravariant and the covariant functors Ext ¹ ( ,A) and Ext ¹ (A, ): M_z M. One proves the following results: (1) If the homomorphism of -modules A B induces an isomorphism Ext ¹ ( ,A)Ext ¹ ( ,B), then there exist injective -modules J₁ and J₂ such that AJ₁BJ₂. (2) Every functorial morphism Ext ¹ ( ,A)Ext ¹ ( ,B) induces a certain homomorphism of -modules AB. One also obtains a dual result.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 112, pp. 71–74, 1981.
