Endpoint Properties of Localized Riesz Transforms and Fractional Integrals Associated to Schrödinger Operators

Let \({\mathcal L}\equiv-\Delta+V\) be the Schrödinger operator in \({{\mathbb R}^n}\), where V is a nonnegative function satisfying the reverse Hölder inequality. Let ρ be an admissible function modeled on the known auxiliary function determined by V. In this paper, the authors characterize the localized Hardy spaces \(H^1_\rho({{\mathbb R}^n})\) in terms of localized Riesz transforms and establish the boundedness on the BMO-type space \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) of these operators as well as the boundedness from \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) to \({\mathop\mathrm{BLO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) of their corresponding maximal operators, and as a consequence, the authors obtain the Fefferman–Stein decomposition of \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) via localized Riesz transforms. When ρ is the known auxiliary function determined by V, \({\mathop\mathrm{BMO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) is just the known space \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\), and \({\mathop\mathrm{BLO_\rho({\mathbb R}^n)}}\) in this case is correspondingly denoted by \(\mathop\mathrm{BLO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\). As applications, when n?≥?3, the authors further obtain the boundedness on \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) of Riesz transforms \(\nabla{\mathcal L}^{-1/2}\) and their adjoint operators, as well as the boundedness from \(\mathop\mathrm{BMO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) to \(\mathop\mathrm{BLO}_{\mathcal L}({{\mathbb R}^n})\) of their maximal operators. Also, some endpoint estimates of fractional integrals associated to \({\mathcal L}\) are presented.     

Conjugations on 6-manifolds

Conjugation spaces are spaces with an involution such that the fixed point set of the involution has \({\mathbb{Z} _2}\)-cohomology ring isomorphic to the \({\mathbb{Z} _2}\)-cohomology of the space itself, with the difference that all degrees are divided by two (e.g. \({\mathbb{C} {\rm P}^n}\) with the complex conjugation has \({\mathbb{R} {\rm P}^n}\) as fixed point set). One also requires that a certain conjugation equation is fulfilled. We give a new characterisation of conjugation spaces and apply it to the following realization problem: given M, a closed orientable 3-manifold, does there exist a simply connected 6-manifold X and a conjugation on X with fixed point set M? We give an affirmative answer.     

Sums of fractions modulo p

Let \({\mathbb{F}_p}\) be the field of residue classes modulo a large prime p. The present paper is devoted to the problem of representability of elements of \({\mathbb{F}_p}\) as sums of fractions of the form x/y with x, y from short intervals of \({\mathbb{F}_p}\).     

Stability of volume comparison for complex convex bodies

We prove the stability of the affirmative part of the solution to the complex Busemann–Petty problem. Namely, if K and L are origin-symmetric convex bodies in \({{\mathbb C}^n}\), n = 2 or n = 3, \({\varepsilon >0 }\) and \({{\rm Vol}_{2n-2}(K\cap H) \le {\rm Vol}_{2n-2}(L \cap H) + \varepsilon}\) for any complex hyperplane H in \({{\mathbb C}^n}\) , then \({({\rm Vol}_{2n}(K))^{\frac{n-1}n}\le({\rm Vol}_{2n}(L))^{\frac{n-1}n} + \varepsilon}\) , where Vol_2n is the volume in \({{\mathbb C}^n}\) , which is identified with \({{\mathbb R}^{2n}}\) in the natural way.     

Self-similar solutions of Schrödinger flows

In this note, we showed the existence of equivariant self-similar solutions with finite local energy for the Schrödinger flow from \({\mathbb{C}^n}\) into \({\mathbb{C}P^n}\) (n ≥ 2).     

Simplices whose dihedral angles are all rational multiples of <Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis>, and related topics

We prove the following: (1) For every \({n \geq 2}\), there are infinitely many, mutually non-similar n-dimensional simplices in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) whose dihedral angles are all rational multiples of π. (2) For every \({n \geq 3}\), there are uncountably many, mutually non-similar n-simplices whose dihedral angles and π are linearly independent over the rational field. Moreover, in the set of all n-simplices in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) the subset of such n-simplices is everywhere dense with respect to the Hausdorff distance.     

Nonarchimedean Green functions and dynamics on projective space

Let \({\varphi: \mathbb{P}^N_K\to\mathbb{P}^N_K}\) be a morphism of degree d ≥ 2 defined over a field K that is algebraically closed field and complete with respect to a nonarchimedean absolute value. We prove that a modified Green function \({\hat{g}_\varphi}\) associated to \({\varphi}\) is Hölder continuous on \({\mathbb{P}^N(K)}\) and that the Fatou set \({\mathcal{F}(\varphi)}\) of \({\varphi}\) is equal to the set of points at which \({\hat{g}_\Phi}\) is locally constant. Further, \({\hat{g}_\varphi}\) vanishes precisely on the set of points P such that \({\varphi}\) has good reduction at every point in the forward orbit \({\mathcal{O}_\varphi(P)}\) of P. We also prove that the iterates of \({\varphi}\) are locally uniformly Lipschitz on \({\mathcal{F}(\varphi)}\) .     

Complex homomorphisms on self-conjugate algebras of functions

Let X be a non-void set and A be a subalgebra of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . We call a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional \({\varphi}\) on A a 1-evaluation if \({\varphi(f) \in f(X) }\) for all \({f\in A}\) . From the classical Gleason–Kahane–?elazko theorem, it follows that if X in addition is a compact Hausdorff space then a mapping \({\varphi}\) of \({C_{\mathbb{C}}(X) }\) into \({\mathbb{C}}\) is a 1-evaluation if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism. In this paper, we aim to investigate the extent to which this equivalence between 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms can be generalized to a wider class of self-conjugate subalgebras of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) . In this regards, we prove that a \({\mathbb{C}}\) -linear functional on a self-conjugate subalgebra A of \({\mathbb{C}^{X}}\) is a positive \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphism if and only if \({\varphi}\) is a \({\overline{1}}\) -evaluation, that is, \({\varphi(f) \in\overline{f\left(X\right)}}\) for all \({f\in A}\) . As consequences of our general study, we prove that 1-evaluations and \({\mathbb{C}}\) -homomorphisms on \({C_{\mathbb{C}}\left( X\right)}\) coincide for any topological space X and we get a new characterization of realcompact topological spaces.     

Stable equilibria of a singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion equation when the roots of the degenerate equation contact or intersect along a non-smooth hypersurface

We use the variational concept of \({\Gamma}\)-convergence to prove existence, stability and exhibit the geometric structure of four families of stationary solutions to the singularly perturbed parabolic equation \({u_t=\epsilon^2 {\rm div}(k\nabla u)+f(u,x)}\), for \({(t,x)\in \mathbb{R}^+\times\Omega}\), where \({\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n}\), \({n\geq 1}\), supplied with no-flux boundary condition. The novelty here lies in the fact that the roots of the bistable function f are not isolated, meaning that the graphs of its roots are allowed to have contact or intersect each other along a Lipschitz-continuous (n ? 1)-dimensional hypersurface \({\gamma \subset \Omega}\); across this hypersurface, the stable equilibria may have corners. The case of intersecting roots stems from the phenomenon known as exchange of stability which is characterized by \({f(\cdot,x)}\) having only two roots.     

On polynomial congruences

We deal with functions which fulfil the condition \({\Delta_h^{n+1} \varphi(x)\in\mathbb{Z}}\) for all x, h taken from some linear space V. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for such a function to be decent in the following sense: there exist functions \({f\colon V\rightarrow \mathbb{R},\ g\colon V \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}}\) such that \({\varphi = f + g}\) and \({\Delta_h^{n+1}f(x)=0}\) for all \({x, h\in V}\).     

Strichartz estimates via the Schrödinger maximal operator

We consider the Schrödinger operator \({e^{it\Delta}}\) acting on initial data f in \({\dot{H}^s}\). We show that an affirmative answer to a question of Carleson, concerning the sharp range of s for which \({\lim_{t\to 0}e^{it\Delta}f(x)=f(x)}\) a.e. \({x\in \mathbb {R}^n}\), would imply an affirmative answer to a question of Planchon, concerning the sharp range of q and r for which \({e^{it\Delta}}\) is bounded in \({L_x^q(\mathbb {R}^n,L^r_t(\mathbb {R}))}\). When n  =  2, we unconditionally improve the range for which the mixed norm estimates hold.     

A deterministic sparse FFT algorithm for vectors with small support

In this paper we consider the special case where a signal x\({\in }\,\mathbb {C}^{N}\) is known to vanish outside a support interval of length m < N. If the support length m of x or a good bound of it is a-priori known we derive a sublinear deterministic algorithm to compute x from its discrete Fourier transform \(\widehat {\mathbf x}\,{\in }\,\mathbb {C}^{N}\). In case of exact Fourier measurements we require only \({\mathcal O}\)(m\(\log \)m) arithmetical operations. For noisy measurements, we propose a stable \({\mathcal O}\)(m\(\log \)N) algorithm.     

Uniform in bandwidth exact rates for a class of kernel estimators

Given an i.i.d sample (Y _i , Z _i ), taking values in \({\mathbb{R}^{d'}\times\mathbb{R}^d}\), we consider a collection Nadarya–Watson kernel estimators of the conditional expectations \({\mathbb{E}( <\,c_g(z),g(Y)>+d_g(z)\mid Z=z)}\), where z belongs to a compact set \({H\subset \mathbb{R}^d}\), g a Borel function on \({\mathbb{R}^{d'}}\) and c _g (·), d _g (·) are continuous functions on \({\mathbb{R}^d}\). Given two bandwidth sequences \({h_n<\mathfrak{h}_n}\) fulfilling mild conditions, we obtain an exact and explicit almost sure limit bounds for the deviations of these estimators around their expectations, uniformly in \({g\in\mathcal{G},\;z\in H}\) and \({h_n\le h\le \mathfrak{h}_n}\) under mild conditions on the density f _Z , the class \({\mathcal{G}}\), the kernel K and the functions c _g (·), d _g (·). We apply this result to prove that smoothed empirical likelihood can be used to build confidence intervals for conditional probabilities \({\mathbb{P}( Y\in C\mid Z=z)}\), that hold uniformly in \({z\in H,\; C\in \mathcal{C},\; h\in [h_n,\mathfrak{h}_n]}\). Here \({\mathcal{C}}\) is a Vapnik–Chervonenkis class of sets.     

On convexity of hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space

In the Hyperbolic space \({\mathbb{H}^n}\) (n ≥ 3) there are uncountably many topological types of convex hypersurfaces. When is a locally convex hypersurface in \({\mathbb{H}^n}\) globally convex, that is, when does it bound a convex set? We prove that any locally convex proper embedding of an (n ? 1)-dimensional connected manifold is the boundary of a convex set whenever the complement of (n ? 1)-flats of the resulting hypersurface is connected.     

Frame completions with prescribed norms: local minimizers and applications

Let \(\mathcal {F}_{0}=\{f_{i}\}_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{n_{0}}}\) be a finite sequence of vectors in \(\mathbb {C}^{d}\) and let \(\mathbf {a}=(a_{i})_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}}\) be a finite sequence of positive numbers, where \(\mathbb {I}_{n}=\{1,\ldots , n\}\) for \(n\in \mathbb {N}\). We consider the completions of \(\mathcal {F}_{0}\) of the form \(\mathcal {F}=(\mathcal {F}_{0},\mathcal {G})\) obtained by appending a sequence \(\mathcal {G}=\{g_{i}\}_{i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}}\) of vectors in \(\mathbb {C}^{d}\) such that ∥g _i ∥² = a _i for \(i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}\), and endow the set of completions with the metric \(d(\mathcal {F},\tilde {\mathcal {F}}) =\max \{ \,\|g_{i}-\tilde {g}_{i}\|: \ i\in \mathbb {I}_{k}\}\) where \(\tilde {\mathcal {F}}=(\mathcal {F}_{0},\,\tilde {\mathcal {G}})\). In this context we show that local minimizers on the set of completions of a convex potential P _φ , induced by a strictly convex function φ, are also global minimizers. In case that φ(x) = x ² then P _φ is the so-called frame potential introduced by Benedetto and Fickus, and our work generalizes several well known results for this potential. We show that there is an intimate connection between frame completion problems with prescribed norms and frame operator distance (FOD) problems. We use this connection and our results to settle in the affirmative a generalized version of Strawn’s conjecture on the FOD.     

On height isotopy classes of embeddings in the plane of a Morse function of a circle

Let \(\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\) be a set of stable Morse functions of an oriented circle such that the number of singular points is \(2n\in \mathbb {N}\) and the order of singular values satisfies the particular condition. For an orthogonal projection \(\pi :\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), let \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) be embedding lifts of f. If there is an ambient isotopy \(\tilde{\varphi }_t:\mathbb {R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^2\) \((t\in [0,1])\) such that \({\pi \circ \tilde{\varphi }}_t(y_1,y_2)=y_1\) and \(\tilde{\varphi }_1\circ {\tilde{f}}_0={\tilde{f}}_1\), we say that \({\tilde{f}}_0\) and \({\tilde{f}}_1\) are height isotopic. We define a function \(I:\mathrm{SM}_{2n}(S^1,\mathbb {R})\rightarrow \mathbb {N}\) as follows: I(f) is the number of height isotopy classes of embeddings such that each rotation number is one. In this paper, we determine the maximal value of the function I equals the n-th Baxter number and the minimal value equals \(2^{n-1}\).     

Stability properties and gap theorem for complete f-minimal hypersurfaces

In this paper, we study complete oriented f -minimal hypersurfaces properly immersed in a cylinder shrinking soliton \((\mathbb{S}^n \times \mathbb{R},\bar g,f)\).We prove that such hypersurface with L _f -index one must be either \(\mathbb{S}^n \times \{ 0\}\) or \(\mathbb{S}^{n - 1} \times \mathbb{R}\), where \({S}^{n - 1}\) denotes the sphere in \(\mathbb{S}^n\) of the same radius. Also we prove a pinching theorem for them.     

Homoclinic Solutions for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>)-Laplacian–Hamiltonian Systems Without Coercive Conditions

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions for the following second-order p(t)-Laplacian–Hamiltonian systems

$$\frac{{\rm d}}{{\rm d}t}(|\dot{u}(t)|^{p(t)-2}\dot{u}(t))-a(t)|u(t)|^{p(t)-2}u(t)+\nabla W(t,u(t))=0,$$

where \({t \in \mathbb{R}}\), \({u \in \mathbb{R}^n}\), \({p \in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})}\) with p(t) > 1, \({a \in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})}\), \({W\in C^1(\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R})}\) and \({\nabla W(t,u)}\) is the gradient of W(t, u) in u. The point is that, assuming that a(t) is bounded in the sense that there are constants \({0<\tau_1<\tau_2<\infty}\) such that \({\tau_1\leq a(t)\leq \tau_2 }\) for all \({t \in \mathbb{R}}\) and W(t, u) is of super-p(t) growth or sub-p(t) growth as \({|u|\rightarrow \infty}\), we provide two new criteria to ensure the existence and multiplicity of homoclinic solutions, respectively. Recent results in the literature are extended and significantly improved.

     

Fourth-order Schrödinger type operator with singular potentials

We prove that a deformation of a hypersurface in an (n + 1)-dimensional real space form \({{\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1}}\) induces a Hamiltonian variation of the normal congruence in the space \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1})}\) of oriented geodesics. As an application, we show that every Hamiltonian minimal submanifold in \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1})}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{n+1})}\)) with respect to the (para-)Kähler Einstein structure is locally the normal congruence of a hypersurface \({\Sigma}\) in \({{\mathbb S}^{n+1}}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb H}^{n+1}}\)) that is a critical point of the functional \({{\mathcal W}(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\left(\Pi_{i=1}^n|\epsilon+k_i^2|\right)^{1/2}}\), where k_i denote the principal curvatures of \({\Sigma}\) and \({\epsilon \in \{-1, 1\}}\). In addition, for \({n = 2}\), we prove that every Hamiltonian minimal surface in \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{3})}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{3})}\)), with respect to the (para-)Kähler conformally flat structure, is the normal congruence of a surface in \({{\mathbb S}^{3}}\) (resp. \({{\mathbb H}^{3}}\)) that is a critical point of the functional \({{\mathcal W}\prime(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\sqrt{H^2-K+1}}\) (resp. \({{\mathcal W}\prime(\Sigma) = \int_\Sigma\sqrt{H^2-K-1}}\)), where H and K denote, respectively, the mean and Gaussian curvature of \({\Sigma}\).     

On the Dual Form of ‘Low <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript> Estimate’ in the Quasi-convex Case

Let\(B_{2}^{n}\) denote the Euclidean ball in\({\mathbb R}^n\), and, given closed star-shaped body\(K \subset {\mathbb R}^{n}, M_{K}\) denote the average of the gauge of K on the Euclidean sphere. Let\(p \in (0,1)\) and let\(K \subset {\mathbb R}^{n}\) be a p-convex body. In [17] we proved that for every\(\lambda \in (0,1)\) there exists an orthogonal projection P of rank\((1 - \lambda)n\) such that

$\frac{f(\lambda)}{M_K} PB^{n}_{2} \subset PK,$

where\(f(\lambda)=c_p\lambda^{1+1/p}\) for some positive constant c _p depending on p only. In this note we prove that\(f(\lambda)\) can be taken equal to\(C_p\lambda^{1/p-1/2}\). In terms of Kolmogorov numbers it means that for every\(k \leq n\)

$d_k (\hbox{Id}:\ell^{n}_{2} \to ({\mathbb R}^{n},\|\cdot\|_{K})) \leq C_p \frac{n^{1/p-1}}{k^{1/p-1/2}} \ell(\hbox{ID}: \ell^{n}_{2} \to ({\mathbb R}^{n}, \|\cdot\|_{K})),$

where\(\ell(\hbox{Id})={\bf E}\|\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}g_i e_i\|_K\) for the independent standard Gaussian random variables\(\{g_i\}\) and the canonical basis\(\{e_i\}\) of\({\mathbb R}^n\). All results do not require the symmetry of K.
