Index formulae for subspaces of Kreîn spaces

For a subspaceS of a Kreîn spaceK and an arbitrary fundamental decompositionK=K ^?[+]K ⁺ ofK, we prove the index formula $$\kappa ^ - \left( \mathcal{S} \right) + \dim \left( {\mathcal{S}^ \bot \cap \mathcal{K}^ + } \right) = \kappa ^ + \left( {\mathcal{S}^ \bot } \right) + \dim \left( {\mathcal{S} \cap \mathcal{K}^ - } \right)$$ where κ^±(S) stands for the positive/negative signature ofS. The difference dim(S∩K ^?)?dim(S ^⊥∩K ⁺), provided it is well defined, is called the index ofS. The formula turns out to unify other known index formulac for operators or subspaces in a Kreîn space.     

On the best polynomial approximation of entire transcendental functions in banach spaces. I

We study the behavior of the best approximationsE _n (?) _p of entire transcendental functions ?(z) of the order ρ=∞ by polynomials of at mostn th degree in the metric of the Banach space E′_p(Ω) of functions /tf(z) analytic in a bounded simply connected domain Ω with rectifiable Jordan boundary and such that $$\left\| f \right\|_{E'_p } = \left\{ {\iint_\Omega {\left| {f\left( z \right)} \right|^p }dxdy} \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}}< \infty $$ . In particular, we describe the relationship between the best approximationsE _n (?)_p and theq-order andq-type of the function ?(z).     

О раэложении мероморфных функций специального вида на простейщие дроби

The paper is devoted to study the entire functions L(λ) with simple real zeros λ_k, k = 1, 2, ..., that admit an expansion of Krein’s type: $$\frac{1}{{\mathcal{L}(\lambda )}} = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\frac{{c_k }}{{\lambda - \lambda _k }}} ,\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\left| {c_k } \right| < \infty } .$$ We present a criterion for these expansions in terms of the sequence {L′ (λ _k )} _k=1 ^∞ . We show that this criterion is applicable to certain classes of meromorphic functions and make more precise a theorem of Sedletski? on the annihilating property in L ² systems of exponents.     

Estimates for wave and Klein-Gordon equations on modulation spaces

We prove that the fundamental semi-group eit(m 2I+|Δ|)1/2(m = 0) of the Klein-Gordon equation is bounded on the modulation space M ps,q(Rn) for all 0 < p,q ∞ and s ∈ R.Similarly,we prove that the wave semi-group eit|Δ|1/2 is bounded on the Hardy type modulation spaces μsp,q(Rn) for all 0 < p,q ∞,and s ∈ R.All the bounds have an asymptotic factor tn|1/p 1/2| as t goes to the infinity.These results extend some known results for the case of p 1.Also,some applications for the Cauchy problems related to the semi-group eit(m2I+|Δ|)1/2 are obtained.Finally we discuss the optimum of the factor tn|1/p 1/2| and raise some unsolved problems.     

A note onL p spaces of harmonic functions

The following result is proved: Letp>0,a>?1. Suppose thatG is a measurable subset ofB, the unit ball in ? ^N , for which there exists a positive constantA ₁, so that $$\int\limits_B {\left( {1 - \left| x \right|} \right)^a \left| {f(x)} \right|^p dm \leqslant A_1 } \int\limits_G {\left( {1 - \left| x \right|} \right)^a \left| {f(x)} \right|^p dm}$$ for each function that is harmonic inB and for which the left-hand side of the above inequality is finite. Then there is a positive constantA ₂ so that for each ballK with center on ?B, $$m\left( {K \cap B} \right) \leqslant A_2 m\left( {K \cap G} \right).$$ Herem denotes Lebesgue measure in ? ^N . This result answers a question left open byDan Luecking [2].

Mixing via the extended family

In this paper,the relationship between the extended family and several mixing properties in measuretheoretical dynamical systems is investigated.The extended family eF related to a given family F can be regarded as the collection of all sets obtained as"piecewise shifted"members of F.For a measure preserving transformation T on a Lebesgue space(X,B,μ),the sets of"accurate intersections of order k"defined below are studied,Nε(A0,A1,...,Ak)=n∈Z+:μk i=0T inAiμ(A0)μ(A1)μ(Ak)ε,for k∈N,A0,A1,...,Ak∈B and ε0.It is shown that if T is weakly mixing(mildly mixing)then for any k∈N,all the sets Nε(A0,A1,...,Ak)have Banach density 1(are in(eFip),i.e.,the dual of the extended family related to IP-sets).     

Boundary parametrization of planar self-affine tiles with collinear digit set

We consider a class of planar self-affine tiles T = M-1 a∈D(T + a) generated by an expanding integral matrix M and a collinear digit set D as follows:M =(0-B 1-A),D = {(00),...,(|B|0-1)}.We give a parametrization S1 →T of the boundary of T with the following standard properties.It is H¨older continuous and associated with a sequence of simple closed polygonal approximations whose vertices lie on T and have algebraic preimages.We derive a new proof that T is homeomorphic to a disk if and only if 2|A| |B + 2|.     

Semi-linear Wave Equations with Effective Damping

The authors study the Cauchy problem for the semi-linear damped wave equation $$u_{tt} - \Delta u + b\left( t \right)u_t = f\left( u \right), u\left( {0,x} \right) = u_0 \left( x \right), u_t \left( {0,x} \right) = u_1 \left( x \right)$$ in any space dimension n ≥ 1. It is assumed that the time-dependent damping term b(t) > 0 is effective, and in particular tb(t) → ∞ as t → ∞. The global existence of small energy data solutions for |f(u)| ≈ |u| ^p in the supercritical case of $p > \tfrac{2} {n}$ and $p \leqslant \tfrac{n} {{n - 2}}$ for n ≥ 3 is proved.     

L 1 decay properties for a semilinear parabolic system

This article is concerned with the decay property in theL ¹ norm ast»∞ of the nonnegative solutions of the initial value problem in ? ⁿ $\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u_t = \Delta u + \mu |\nabla \upsilon |^q } \\ {\upsilon _t = \Delta \upsilon + \upsilon |\nabla \upsilon |^p } \\ \end{array} } \right.$ for different values of the parametersp, q≥1 and when μ, ν<0. If $pq > \frac{{\inf \left( {p,q} \right)}}{{n + 1}} + \left( {n + 2} \right)/\left( {n + 1} \right)$ then lim _t→∞∥u(t)+v(t)∥₁>0 and when $pq< \frac{{\inf \left( {p,q} \right)}}{{n + 1}} + \left( {n + 2} \right)/\left( {n + 1} \right)$ then lim _t→∞∥u(t)+v(t)∥₁>0.     

On sum sets of sidon sets,II

LetG be a finite abelian group,G?{Z _n, Z₂?Z_2n}. Then every sequenceA={g ₁,...,g_t} of $t = \frac{{4\left| G \right|}}{3} + 1$ elements fromG contains a subsequenceB?A, |G|=|G| such that $\sum\nolimits_{g_i \in B^{g_i } } { = 0 (in G)} $ . This bound, which is best possible, extends recent results of [1] and [22] concerning the celebrated theorem of Erdös-Ginzburg-Ziv [21].     

On oscillatory integral Hilbert transformation with trigonometric polynomial phase

Let $ \mathcal{P}_n $ denote the set of algebraic polynomials of degree n with the real coefficients. Stein and Wpainger [1] proved that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ where C _n depends only on n. Later A. Carbery, S. Wainger and J. Wright (according to a communication obtained from I. R. Parissis), and Parissis [3] obtained the following sharp order estimate $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \sim \ln n. $$ . Now let $ \mathcal{T}_n $ denote the set of trigonometric polynomials $$ t(x) = \frac{{a_0 }} {2} + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {(a_k coskx + b_k sinkx)} $$ with real coefficients a _k , b _k . The main result of the paper is that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{t( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{T}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{it(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ with an effective bound on C _n . Besides, an analog of a lemma, due to I. M. Vinogradov, is established, concerning the estimate of the measure of the set, where a polynomial is small, via the coefficients of the polynomial.     

A limit theorem for matrix-solutions of Hamiltonian systems

The following limit theorem on Hamiltonian systems (resp. corresponding Riccati matrix equations) is shown: Given(N, N)-matrices,A, B, C andn ∈ {1,…, N} with the following properties:A and kemelB(x) are constant, rank(I, A, …, A ^n?1) B(x)≠N,B(x)∈C _n(R), andB(x)(A ^T)^j-1 C(x)∈C _n-j(R) forj=1, …, n. Then \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to x_0 } \eta _1^T \left( x \right)V\left( x \right)U^{ - 1} \left( x \right)\eta _2 \left( x \right) = d_1^T \left( {x_0 } \right)U\left( {x_0 } \right)d_2 \) forx ₀∈R, whenever the matricesU(x), V(x) are a conjoined basis of the differential systemU′=AU + BV, V′=CU?A ^TV, and whenever η_i(x)∈R ^N satisfy η_i(x ₀)=U(x ₀)d _i ∈ imageU(x ₀) η′_i-Aη_ni(x) ∈ imageB(x),B(x)(η′_i(x)-Aη_i(x)) ∈C _n-1 R fori=1,2.     

On an effective order estimate of the Riemann zeta function in the critical strip

The well-known explicit estimation of the order of the Riemann zeta function $$\left| {\zeta (\sigma + it)} \right| \ll t^{c_1 (1 - \sigma )^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } \ln ^{{2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} t$$ for \(\tfrac{1}{2} \leqslant \sigma \leqslant 1\) andt≧2 (see [3]) is proved with the constantc ₁=21. The improvement of the constantc ₁ is a consequence of some technical modifications in application of the Vinogradov's inequality for exponential sums with the constant improved byPantelejeva in [1].     

Sharp weak-type inequalities for Hilbert transform and Riesz projection

The paper is devoted to the study of the weak norms of the classical operators in the vector-valued setting.

1. Let S, H denote the singular integral involution operator and the Hilbert transform on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {\mathcal{S}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p,$$ $$\left\| {\mathcal{H}f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left( {\frac{1} {\pi }\int_{ - \infty }^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\tfrac{2} {\pi }\log \left| t \right|} \right|^p }} {{t^2 + 1}}dt} } \right)^{ - 1/p} \left\| f \right\|p.$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
2. Let P ₊ and P _? stand for the Riesz projection and the co-analytic projection on $L^p \left( {\mathbb{T}, \ell _\mathbb{C}^2 } \right)$ , respectively. Then for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and any f, $$\left\| {P + f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p ,$$ $$\left\| {P - f} \right\|_{p,\infty } \leqslant \left\| f \right\|_p .$$ Both inequalities are sharp.
3. We establish the sharp versions of the estimates above in the nonperiodic case.

The results are new even if the operators act on complex-valued functions. The proof rests on the construction of an appropriate plurisubharmonic function and probabilistic techniques.     

Subsequence ergodic theorems for amenable groups

For amenable groups that have a Følner sequence {A _n} satisfying $\overline {lim} \left| {A_n^{ - 1} A_n } \right|/\left| {A_n } \right|< + \infty $ we show that a subsequence ergodic theorem is valid for the visit times to a set of positive measure.     

Phase transitions of iterated Higman-style well-partial-orderings

We elaborate Weiermann-style phase transitions for well-partial-orderings (wpo) determined by iterated finite sequences under Higman-Friedman style embedding with Gordeev’s symmetric gap condition. For every d-times iterated wpo ${\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d}\right)}$ in question, d >? 1, we fix a natural extension of Peano Arithmetic, ${T \supseteq \sf{PA}}$ , that proves the corresponding second-order sentence ${\sf{WPO}\left({\rm S}{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d}\right) }$ . Having this we consider the following parametrized first-order slow well-partial-ordering sentence ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d}, r\right):}$ $$\left( \forall K > 0 \right) \left( \exists M > 0\right) \left( \forall x_{0},\ldots ,x_{M}\in {\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}\right)$$ $$\left( \left( \forall i\leq M\right) \left( \left| x_{i}\right| < K + r \left\lceil \log _{d} \left( i+1\right) \right\rceil \right)\rightarrow \left( \exists i < j \leq M \right) \left(x_{i} \trianglelefteq _{d} x_{j}\right) \right)$$ for a natural additive Seq ^d -norm |·| and r ranging over EFA-provably computable positive reals, where EFA is an abbreviation for IΔ ₀?+?exp. We show that the following basic phase transition clauses hold with respect to ${T = \Pi_{1}^{0}\sf{CA}_{ < \varphi ^{_{\left( d-1\right) }} \left(0\right) }}$ and the threshold point1.

1. If r <? 1 then ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d},r \right) }$ is provable in T.

1. If ${r > 1}$ then ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{d}, \trianglelefteq _{d},r \right) }$ is not provable in T.

Moreover, by the well-known proof theoretic equivalences we can just as well replace T by PA or ACA ₀ and ${\Delta _{1}^{1}\sf{CA}}$ , if d =? 2 and d =? 3, respectively.In the limit case d → ∞ we replaceEFA-provably computable reals r by EFA-provably computable functions ${f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}}$ and prove analogous theorems. (In the sequel we denote by ${\mathbb{R}_{+}}$ the set of EFA-provably computable positive reals). In the basic case T?=? PA we strengthen the basic phase transition result by adding the following static threshold clause

1. ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{2}, \trianglelefteq _{2}, 1\right)}$ is still provable in T = PA (actually in EFA).

Furthermore we prove the following dynamic threshold clauses which, loosely speaking are obtained by replacing the static threshold t by slowly growing functions 1 _α given by ${1_{\alpha }\left( i\right)\,{:=}\,1+\frac{1}{H_{\alpha }^{-1}\left(i\right) }, H_{\alpha}}$ being the familiar fast growing Hardy function and ${H_{\alpha }^{-1}\left( i\right)\,{:=}\,\rm min \left\{ j \mid H_{\alpha } \left ( j\right) \geq i \right\}}$ the corresponding slowly growing inversion.

1. If ${\alpha < \varepsilon _{0}}$ , then ${\sf{SWP}\left({\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{2}, \trianglelefteq _{2}, 1_{\alpha}\right)}$ is provable in T = PA.

1. ${\sf{SWP}\left( {\rm S}\text{\textsc{eq}}^{2}, \trianglelefteq _{2},1_{\varepsilon _{0}}\right)}$ is not provable in T = PA.

We conjecture that this pattern is characteristic for all ${T\supseteq \sf{PA}}$ under consideration and their proof-theoretical ordinals o (T ), instead of ${\varepsilon _{0}}$ .
