Sampling sequences for Hardy spaces of the ball

We show that a sequence in the unit ball of is sampling for the Hardy spaces , , if and only if the admissible accumulation set of in the unit sphere has full measure. For the situation is quite different. While this condition is still sufficient, when (in contrast to the one dimensional situation) there exist sampling sequences for whose admissible accumulation set has measure 0. We also consider the sequence obtained by applying to each a random rotation, and give a necessary and sufficient condition on so that, with probability one, is of sampling for , .

     

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of simplicial semigroup rings with isolated singularity

Let be the polynomial ring in variables over a field and its graded maximal ideal. Let be homogeneous polynomials of degree generating an -primary ideal, and let be arbitrary homogeneous polynomials of degree . In the present paper it will be proved that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the standard graded -algebra is at most . By virtue of this result, it follows that the regularity of a simplicial semigroup ring with isolated singularity is at most , where is the multiplicity of and is the codimension of .

     

Functional calculus and -regularity of a class of Banach algebras

Suppose that is a -dynamical system such that is of polynomial growth. If is finite dimensional, we show that any element in has slow growth and that is -regular. Furthermore, if is discrete and is a ``nice representation' of , we define a new Banach -algebra which coincides with when is finite dimensional. We also show that any element in has slow growth and is -regular.

     

Radicals and Plotkin's problem concerning geometrically equivalent groups

If and are groups and is a normal subgroup of , then the -closure of in is the normal subgroup of . In particular, is the -radical of . Plotkin calls two groups and geometrically equivalent, written , if for any free group of finite rank and any normal subgroup of the -closure and the -closure of in are the same. Quasi-identities are formulas of the form for any words in a free group. Generally geometrically equivalent groups satisfy the same quasi-identities. Plotkin showed that nilpotent groups and satisfy the same quasi-identities if and only if and are geometrically equivalent. Hence he conjectured that this might hold for any pair of groups. We provide a counterexample.

     

The Cauchy problem for a class of Kovalevskian pseudo-differential operators

We prove the well-posedness of the forward Cauchy problem for a pseudo-differential operator of order with the Log-Lipschitz continuous symbol in the time variable. The characteristic roots of are distinct and satisfy the necessary Lax-Mizohata condition Im . The Log-Lipschitz regularity has been tested as the optimal one for well-posedness in the case of second-order hyperbolic operators. Our main aim is to present a simple proof which needs only a little of the basic calculus of standard pseudo-differential operators.

Viani in modeling parabolic growth of three-oxide scales on pure metals.

Van der Waerden spaces

A topological space is van der Waerden if for every sequence in there exists a converging subsequence so that contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions. Not every sequentially compact space is van der Waerden. The product of two van der Waerden spaces is van der Waerden.

The following condition on a Hausdorff space is sufficent for to be van der Waerden:

The closure of every countable set in is compact and first-countable.

A Hausdorff space that satisfies satisfies, in fact, a stronger property: for every sequence in :

There exists so that is converging, and contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions and sets of the form for arbitrarily large finite sets .

There are nonmetrizable and noncompact spaces which satisfy . In particular, every sequence of ordinal numbers and every bounded sequence of real monotone functions on satisfy .

As a corollary, we get a sufficient and necessary condition under which the extension of Doob's inequality holds. We also discuss the converse inequalities.

A set is -straight if has finite Hausdorff -measure equal to its Hausdorff -content, where is continuous and non-decreasing with . Here, if satisfies the standard doubling condition, then every set of finite Hausdorff -measure in is shown to be a countable union of -straight sets. This also settles a conjecture of Foran that when , every set of finite -measure is a countable union of -straight sets.

     

The Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of quadratic algebras satisfying the cyclic condition

We consider algebras over a field presented by generators and subject to square-free relations of the form with every monomial , appearing in one of the relations. It is shown that for 1$"> the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of such an algebra is at least two if the algebra satisfies the so-called cyclic condition. It is known that this dimension is an integer not exceeding . For , we construct a family of examples of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two. We prove that an algebra with the cyclic condition with generators has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension if and only if it is of -type, and this occurs if and only if the multiplicative submonoid generated by is cancellative.
