Exponentiable monomorphisms in categories of domains

We give a characterization of exponentiable monomorphisms in the categories of ω-complete posets, of directed complete posets and of continuous directed complete posets as those monotone maps f that are convex and that lift an element (and then a queue) of any directed set (ω-chain in the case of ) whose supremum is in the image of f (Theorem 1.9). Using this characterization, we obtain that a monomorphism f:X→B in (, ) exponentiable in w.r.t. the Scott topology is exponentiable also in (, ). We prove that the converse is true in the category , but neither in , nor in .

Preservers of spectral radius, numerical radius, or spectral norm of the sum on nonnegative matrices

Let be the set of entrywise nonnegative n×n matrices. Denote by r(A) the spectral radius (Perron root) of . Characterization is obtained for maps such that r(f(A)+f(B))=r(A+B) for all . In particular, it is shown that such a map has the form

     

Compactness via symmetrization

Consider two types of translation-invariant functionals and on , and a sequence of functions f_n whose corresponding symmetric rearrangements are convergent. We show that f_n themselves converge up to translations if either or . These compactness results lead to applications in variational problems and stability problems in stellar dynamics.     

Holomorphy of spectral multipliers of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

Let γ be the Gauss measure on and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. For every p in [1,∞)?{2}, set , and consider the sector . The main results of this paper are the following. If p is in (1,∞)?{2}, and , i.e., if M is an Lp(γ)uniform spectral multiplier of in our terminology, and M is continuous on , then M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the sector . Furthermore, if p=1 a spectral multiplier M, continuous on , satisfies the condition if and only if M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the right half-plane, and its boundary value M(i·) on the imaginary axis is the Euclidean Fourier transform of a finite Borel measure on the real line. We prove similar results for uniform spectral multipliers of second order elliptic differential operators in divergence form on belonging to a wide class, which contains . From these results we deduce that operators in this class do not admit an H^∞ functional calculus in sectors smaller than .     

Genericity of wild holomorphic functions and common hypercyclic vectors

Let T_α be the translation operator by α in the space of entire functions defined by . We prove that there is a residual set G of entire functions such that for every f∈G and every the sequence is dense in , that is, G is a residual set of common hypercyclic vectors ( functions) for the family . Also, we prove similar results for many families of operators as: multiples of differential operator, multiples of backward shift, weighted backward shifts.     

Quartic residues and binary quadratic forms

Let be a prime, m∈Z and . In this paper we obtain a general criterion for m to be a quartic residue in terms of appropriate binary quadratic forms. Let d>1 be a squarefree integer such that , where is the Legendre symbol, and let ε_d be the fundamental unit of the quadratic field . Since 1942 many mathematicians tried to characterize those primes p so that ε_d is a quadratic or quartic residue . In this paper we will completely solve these open problems by determining the value of , where p is an odd prime, and . As an application we also obtain a general criterion for , where {u_n(a,b)} is the Lucas sequence defined by and .     

When subset-sums do not cover all the residues modulo p

Let . We prove that a subset of , where p is a prime number, with cardinality larger than such that its subset sums do not cover has an automorphic image which is rather concentrated; more precisely, there exists s prime to p such that

On the automorphisms of the spectral completion of the algebraic numbers field

Let be the absolute Galois group of Q and let A=C(G,C) be the Banach algebra of all continuous functions defined on G with values in C. Let be the conjugation automorphism of C and let B be the R-Banach subalgebra of A consisting of continuous functions f such that for all σ∈G. Let ‖x‖=sup{|σ(x)|:σ∈G} be the spectral norm on and let be the spectral completion of . Using a canonical isometry between and B we study the structure of the group of R-algebras automorphisms of and the structure of its subgroup of all automorphisms of which when restricted to give rise to elements of G. We introduce a topology on and prove that this last one is homeomorphic and group isomorphic to G.     

On duality between étale groupoids and Hopf algebroids

For any étale Lie groupoid G over a smooth manifold M, the groupoid convolution algebra of smooth functions with compact support on G has a natural coalgebra structure over the commutative algebra which makes it into a Hopf algebroid. Conversely, for any Hopf algebroid A over we construct the associated spectral étale Lie groupoid over M such that is naturally isomorphic to G. Both these constructions are functorial, and is fully faithful left adjoint to . We give explicit conditions under which a Hopf algebroid is isomorphic to the Hopf algebroid of an étale Lie groupoid G.
