The Law of the Logarithm for Weighted Sums of Independent Random Variables

Let X,X _n ;n1 be a sequence of real-valued i.i.d. random variables with E(X)=0. Assume B(u) is positive, strictly increasing and regularly-varying at infinity with index 1/2<1. Set b _n =B(n),n1. If

On regularities of the distribution of special sequences

Ifp2 is an integer, then every nonnegative integerk is represented by an expression of the form with integersa _i (k), 0a _i (k)p–1,i=0.1,...,s. The radical-inverse function to the basep, _p (k), is defined by . The sequence is uniformly distributed modulo 1 (it may be called a one-dimensional Halton sequence). In the casep=2 it is the van der Corput sequence. The set of all numbers (0, 1] such that the local discrepancy is bounded inn is determined.

Lattices of interpretability types of varieties

Let be the set of all primes, the field of all algebraic numbers, and Z the set of square-free natural numbers. We consider partially ordered sets of interpretability types such as , and , where AD is a variety of -divisible Abelian groups with unique taking of the pth root _p(x) for every p , is a variety of -modules over a normal field , contained in , and G_n is a variety of n-groupoids defined by a cyclic permutation (12 ...n). We prove that , and are distributive lattices, with and where ub and ub_f are lattices (w.r.t. inclusion) of all subsets of the set and of finite subsets of , respectively.Deceased.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 198–210, March–April, 2005.     

On the Structure of a Certain Class of Mixed Tsirelson Spaces

We study Banach spaces of the form We call such a space a p-space, p[1,), if for every k the space is isomorphic to _pk and the sequence (p_k) strictly decreases to p. We examine the finite block representability of the spaces _r in a p-space proving that it depends not only on p but also on the sequences (p_k) and (n_k). Assuming that _i n_i ^1/q decreases to 0, where q is the conjugate exponent of p, we prove the existence of an asymptotic biorthogonal system in X and also that c ₀ is finitely representable in X. Moreover we investigate the modified versions of p-spaces proving that, if n_km1/pkm-1/pk_m-1 increases to infinity for a subsequence (n_km) , then ₁ embeds into X. We also investigate complemented minimality for the class of spaces where is either a subsequence of the sequence of Schreier classes ( _n)_{n N} or a subsequence of ( _n)_{n N}.     

Some remarks on Vinogradov's mean value theorem and Tarry's problem

LetW(k, 2) denote the, least numbers for which the system of equations has a solution with . We show that for largek one hasW(k, 2)1/2k ²(logk+loglogk+O(1)), and moreover that whenK is large, one hasW(k, 2)1/2k(k+1)+1 for at least one valuek in the interval [K, K ^3/4+]. We show also that the leasts for which the expected asymptotic formula holds for the number of solutions of the above system of equations, inside a box, satisfiessk ²(logk+O(loglogk).Research supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9303505, an Alfred P.

An Erdős-Révész type law of the iterated logarithm for stationary Gaussian processes

Summary Let {X(t),t 0} be a stationary Gaussian process withEX(t)=0,EX ²(t)=1 and covariance function satisfying (i)r(t) = 1 2212;C |t | + o (|t|)ast0 for someC>0, 0<2; (ii)r(t)=0(t ^–2) as t for some >0 and (iii) sup_ts|r(t)|<1 for eachs>0. Put (t)= sup {s:0 s t,X(s) (2logs)^1/2}. The law of the iterated logarithm implies a.s. This paper gives the lower bound of (t) and obtains an Erds-Rèvèsz type LIL, i.e., a.s. if 0<<2 and . Applications to infinite series of independent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and to fractional Wiener processes are also given.Research supported by the Fok Yingtung Education Foundation of China and by Charles Phelps Taft Postdoctoral Fellowship of the University of Cincinnati     

Type,infratype and the Elton-Pajor theorem

Summary Consider a sequence(x _i ) _in of norm one vectors in a Banach space. For a subsetJ of {1,...,n} consider the equivalence constant (J) between(x _i ) _iJ and the ₁ basis, and consider (k)=min{(J); cardJ=k}. We give a near optimal relationship between the rate of decay of (k) and the averageE of over all choices of signs. In particular, we show that one can choosek such that, for some universal constantK, kE ² /Kn and . This is optimal within the logarithmic term. We also prove, that forp<2, the notions of type and infratype coincide.Oblatum 27-III-1991Work partially supported by an NSF grant     

Universal property of chern character forms of the canonical connection

Let _q,n denote the complex Stiefel bundle over the complex Grassmannian and let ₀ be the universal connection on this bundle. Consider the Chern character form of ₀ defined by the formula where ₀ is the curvature form of the connection ₀. Let M be a manifold of dimension m and a closed 2k-form on M. Suppose, there exists a continuous map which pulls back the cohomology class of ch_k(₀) onto the cohomology class of . We prove that if q and n are greater than certain numbers (which we determine in this paper) then there exists a smooth map such that f*ch_k(₀) = .

Laurent–Jacobi Matrices and the Strong Hamburger Moment Problem

Let be the linear space of the Laurent polynomials and suppose that <, < is a positive-definite Hermitian inner product in with the additional property that . Starting from the five-term recurrence relation for orthogonal Laurent polynomials with respect to <, <, we derive Laurent–Jacobi matrices and for the multiplication operator and its inverse in . These matrices are real and symmetric, and generates a symmetric operator in the Hilbert space ² with natural basis { e _n } _{n = 0} . We show that this operator has deficiency indices (0, 0) or (1, 1) and that every self-adjoint extension A in ² has simple spectrum with generating vector e ₀. Let E be the spectral measure of A. Then the measure _{e 0} given by _{e 0}() =<E() e ₀, e ₀< for all Borel sets in , satisfies forf,g. In this way, we obtain a solution _{e 0} of the Strong Hamburger Moment Problem (SHMP) for which is dense in L ²( _{e 0}). Some results concerning the relation between the deficiency indices andthe set of all solutions of the SHMP are established. Finally, we give an analogue of a theorem by M. H. Stone which tells us which self-adjoint operators are generatedby a Laurent–Jacobi matrix with deficiency indices (0, 0).     

Boundary Asymptotics for Orthogonal Rational Functions on the Unit Circle

Let w() be a positive weight function on the unit circle of the complex plane. For a sequence of points { _k } _{k = 1} included in a compact subset of the unit disk, we consider the orthogonal rational functions _n that are obtained by orthogonalization of the sequence { 1, z / ₁, z ² / ₂, ... } where , with respect to the inner product In this paper we discuss the behaviour of _n (t) for t = 1 and n under certain conditions. The main condition on the weight is that it satisfies a Lipschitz–Dini condition and that it is bounded away from zero. This generalizes a theorem given by Szeg in the polynomial case, that is when all _k = 0.
