-Fréchet-Urysohn property of Franklin compact spaces

Franklin compact spaces defined by maximal almost disjoint families of subsets of are considered from the view of its -sequentiality and -Fréchet-Urysohn-property for ultrafilters . Our principal results are the following: CH implies that for every -point there are a Franklin compact -Fréchet-Urysohn space and a Franklin compact space which is not -Fréchet-Urysohn; and, assuming CH, for every Franklin compact space there is a -point such that it is not -Fréchet-Urysohn. Some new problems are raised.

     

Almost linearity of -bi-Lipschitz maps between real Banach spaces

Vanishing of the leading term in Harish-Chandra's local character expansion

Harish-Chandra's formula for the character of an irreducible smooth representation of a reductive -adic group expresses near as a linear combination of the Fourier transforms of nilpotent -orbits in the Lie algebra of . In this note, we prove that if is tempered but not in the discrete series, then the coefficient attached to the zero nilpotent orbit vanishes.

For each Kaehler structure , let be the line bundle with connection whose curvature is . We then study the holomorphic sections of , which constitute a -representation space.

     

On the size of lemniscates of polynomials in one and several variables

In the convergence theory of rational interpolation and Padé approximation, it is essential to estimate the size of the lemniscatic set and , for a polynomial of degree . Usually, is taken to be monic, and either Cartan's Lemma or potential theory is used to estimate the size of , in terms of Hausdorff contents, planar Lebesgue measure , or logarithmic capacity cap. Here we normalize and show that cap and are the sharp estimates for the size of . Our main result, however, involves generalizations of this to polynomials in several variables, as measured by Lebesgue measure on or product capacity and Favarov's capacity. Several of our estimates are sharp with respect to order in and .

On rigidity of affine surfaces

Rigidity of nondegenerate Blaschke surfaces in is studied. The rigidity criteria are given in terms of , where is the curvature of the Blaschke connection . If the rank of is 2, then the surface is rigid. If , it is nonrigid. In the case where the rank of is 1 there are both rigid and nonrigid surfaces. This case is discussed for various types of surfaces.

     

Comparative probability on von Neumann algebras

We continue here the study begun in earlier papers on implementation of comparative probability by states. Let be a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space and let denote the projections of . A comparative probability (CP) on (or more correctly on is a preorder on satisfying:

with for some .

If , then either or .

If , and are all in and , , then .

A state on is said to implement a on if for , . In this paper, we examine the conditions for implementability of a CP on a general von Neumann algebra (as opposed to only type I factors). A crucial tool used here, as well as in earlier results, is the interval topology generated on by . A will be termed continuous in a given topology on if the interval topology generated by is weaker than the topology induced on by the given topology. We show that uniform continuity of a comparative probability is necessary and sufficient if the von Neumann algebra has no finite direct summand. For implementation by normal states, weak continuity is sufficient and necessary if the von Neumann algebra has no finite direct summand of type I. We arrive at these results by constructing an appropriate additive measure from the CP.

     

Oscillatory singular integrals on and Hardy spaces

We consider boundedness properties of oscillatory singular integrals on and Hardy spaces. By constructing a phase function, we prove that boundedness may fail while boundedness holds for all . This shows that the theory and theory for such operators are fundamentally different.

     

Chains of strongly non-reflexive dual groups of integer-valued continuous functions

Answering a question of Eklof-Mekler (Almost free modules, set-theoretic methods, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1990), we prove: (1) If there exists a non-reflecting stationary set of consisting of ordinals of cofinality for each , then there exist abelian groups such that and for each . (2) There exist abelian groups such that for each and for each . The groups are the groups of -valued continuous functions on a topological space and their dual groups.

Every monotone graph property has a sharp threshold

In their seminal work which initiated random graph theory Erdös and Rényi discovered that many graph properties have sharp thresholds as the number of vertices tends to infinity. We prove a conjecture of Linial that every monotone graph property has a sharp threshold. This follows from the following theorem. Let denote the Hamming space endowed with the probability measure defined by , where . Let be a monotone subset of . We say that is symmetric if there is a transitive permutation group on such that is invariant under . Theorem. For every symmetric monotone , if then for . ( is an absolute constant.)

     

Polynomial rings over Goldie-Kerr commutative rings II

An overlooked corollary to the main result of the stated paper (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 120 (1994), 989--993) is that any Goldie ring of Goldie dimension 1 has Artinian classical quotient ring , hence is a Kerr ring in the sense that the polynomial ring satisfies the on annihilators . More generally, we show that a Goldie ring has Artinian when every zero divisor of has essential annihilator (in this case is a local ring; see Theorem ). A corollary to the proof is Theorem 2: A commutative ring has Artinian iff is a Goldie ring in which each element of the Jacobson radical of has essential annihilator. Applying a theorem of Beck we show that any ring that has Noetherian local ring for each associated prime is a Kerr ring and has Kerr polynomial ring (Theorem 5).

Two Kleinian groups and are said to be topologically conjugate when there is a homeomorphism such that . It is conjectured that if two Kleinian groups and are topologically conjugate, one is a quasi-conformal deformation of the other. In this paper generalizing Minsky's result, we shall prove that this conjecture is true when is finitely generated and freely indecomposable, and the injectivity radii of all points of and are bounded below by a positive constant.

     

Differences of vector-valued functions on topological groups

Let be a locally compact group equipped with right Haar measure. The right differences of functions on are defined by for . Let and suppose for some and all . We prove that is a right uniformly continuous function of . If is abelian and the Beurling spectrum does not contain the unit of the dual group , then we show . These results have analogues for functions , where is a separable or reflexive Banach space. Finally, we apply our methods to vector-valued right uniformly continuous differences and to absolutely continuous elements of left Banach -modules.

     

Integer-valued polynomials on Krull rings

If is a subring of a Krull ring such that is a valuation ring for every finite index , in Spec, we construct polynomials that map into the maximal possible (for a monic polynomial of fixed degree) power of , for all in Spec simultaneously. This gives a direct sum decomposition of Int, the -module of polynomials with coefficients in the quotient field of that map into , and a criterion when Int has a regular basis (one consisting of 1 polynomial of each non-negative degree).
