The principle of general localization on unit sphere

In this paper we study the general localization principle for Fourier-Laplace series on unit sphere SN⊂RN+1. Weak type (1,1) property of maximal functions is used to establish the estimates of the maximal operators of Riesz means at critical index . The properties Jacobi polynomials are used in estimating the maximal operators of spectral expansions in L₂(SN). For extending positive results on critical line , 1?p?2, we apply interpolation theorem for the family of the linear operators of weak types. The generalized localization principle is established by the analysis of spectral expansions in L₂. We have proved the sufficient conditions for the almost everywhere convergence of Fourier-Laplace series by Riesz means on the critical line.     

Localization for discrete one-dimensional random word models

We consider Schrödinger operators in whose potentials are obtained by randomly concatenating words from an underlying set according to some probability measure ν on . Our assumptions allow us to consider models with local correlations, such as the random dimer model or, more generally, random polymer models. We prove spectral localization and, away from a finite set of exceptional energies, dynamical localization for such models. These results are obtained by employing scattering theoretic methods together with Furstenberg's theorem to verify the necessary input to perform a multiscale analysis.     

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 .     

Selfadjoint operators in S-spaces

We study S-spaces and operators therein. An S-space is a Hilbert space with an additional inner product given by , where U is a unitary operator in . We investigate spectral properties of selfadjoint operators in S-spaces. We show that their spectrum is symmetric with respect to the real axis. As a main result we prove that for each selfadjoint operator A in an S-space we find an inner product which turns S into a Krein space and A into a selfadjoint operator therein. As a consequence we get a new simple condition for the existence of invariant subspaces of selfadjoint operators in Krein spaces, which provides a different insight into this well-know and in general unsolved problem.     

Polynomials of Meixner's type in infinite dimensions—Jacobi fields and orthogonality measures

The classical polynomials of Meixner's type—Hermite, Charlier, Laguerre, Meixner, and Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials—are distinguished through a special form of their generating function, which involves the Laplace transform of their orthogonality measure. In this paper, we study analogs of the latter three classes of polynomials in infinite dimensions. We fix as an underlying space a (non-compact) Riemannian manifold X and an intensity measure σ on it. We consider a Jacobi field in the extended Fock space over L²(X;σ), whose field operator at a point x∈X is of the form , where λ is a real parameter. Here, ∂_x and are, respectively, the annihilation and creation operators at the point x. We then realize the field operators as multiplication operators in , where is the dual of , and μ_λ is the spectral measure of the Jacobi field. We show that μ_λ is a gamma measure for |λ|=2, a Pascal measure for |λ|>2, and a Meixner measure for |λ|<2. In all the cases, μ_λ is a Lévy noise measure. The isomorphism between the extended Fock space and is carried out by infinite-dimensional polynomials of Meixner's type. We find the generating function of these polynomials and using it, we study the action of the operators ∂_x and in the functional realization.     

Wavelet expansions and asymptotic behavior of distributions

We develop a distribution wavelet expansion theory for the space of highly time-frequency localized test functions over the real line S₀(R)⊂S(R) and its dual space , namely, the quotient of the space of tempered distributions modulo polynomials. We prove that the wavelet expansions of tempered distributions converge in . A characterization of boundedness and convergence in is obtained in terms of wavelet coefficients. Our results are then applied to study local and non-local asymptotic properties of Schwartz distributions via wavelet expansions. We provide Abelian and Tauberian type results relating the asymptotic behavior of tempered distributions with the asymptotics of wavelet coefficients.     

Ideals of operators and the metric approximation property

We prove that a Banach space X has the metric approximation property if and only if , the space of all finite rank operators, is an ideal in , the space of all bounded operators, for every Banach space Y. Moreover, X has the shrinking metric approximation property if and only if is an ideal in for every Banach space Y.Similar results are obtained for u-ideals and the corresponding unconditional metric approximation properties.     

Fixed points of dual quantum operations

Let ?A be a normal completely positive map on B(H) with Kraus operators . Denote M the subset of normal completely positive maps by . In this note, the relations between the fixed points of ?A and are investigated. We obtain that , where K(H) is the set of all compact operators on H and is the dual of ?A∈M. In addition, we show that the map is a bijection on M.     

Inverse spectral theory for symmetric operators with several gaps: scalar-type Weyl functions

Let S be the orthogonal sum of infinitely many pairwise unitarily equivalent symmetric operators with non-zero deficiency indices. Let J be an open subset of R. If there exists a self-adjoint extension S₀ of S such that J is contained in the resolvent set of S₀ and the associated Weyl function of the pair {S,S₀} is monotone with respect to J, then for any self-adjoint operator R there exists a self-adjoint extension such that the spectral parts and R_J are unitarily equivalent. It is shown that for any extension of S the absolutely continuous spectrum of S₀ is contained in that one of . Moreover, for a wide class of extensions the absolutely continuous parts of and S are even unitarily equivalent.     

Differential systems of type (1,1) on Hermitian symmetric spaces and their solutions

This paper concerns G-invariant systems of second-order differential operators on irreducible Hermitian symmetric spaces G/K. The systems of type (1,1) are obtained from K-invariant subspaces of . We show that all such systems can be derived from a decomposition . Here gives the Laplace-Beltrami operator and is the celebrated Hua system, which has been extensively studied elsewhere. Our main result asserts that for G/K of rank at least two, a bounded real-valued function is annihilated by the system if and only if it is the real part of a holomorphic function. In view of previous work, one obtains a complete characterization of the bounded functions that are solutions for any system of type (1,1) which contains the Laplace-Beltrami operator.     

A Besov class functional calculus for bounded holomorphic semigroups

It is well-known that -sectorial operators generally do not admit a bounded H^∞ calculus over the right half-plane. In contrast to this, we prove that the H^∞ calculus is bounded over any class of functions whose Fourier spectrum is contained in some interval [ε,σ] with 0<ε<σ<∞. The constant bounding this calculus grows as as and this growth is sharp over all Banach space operators of the class under consideration. It follows from these estimates that -sectorial operators admit a bounded calculus over the Besov algebra of the right half-plane. We also discuss the link between -sectorial operators and bounded Tadmor-Ritt operators.     

Exact solutions and branching of singularities for some hyperbolic equations in two variables

Exact global propagators are constructed for the singular hyperbolic operators in two variables , λ a real parameter, and for the degenerate hyperbolic operators . Qualitative phenomena such as uniqueness in the Cauchy problem and branching of singularities vary with λ, as shown earlier by Treves and by Taniguchi and Tozaki.     

How to regularize singular vectors and kill the dynamical Weyl group

Let be a simple Lie algebra, and let M_λ be the Verma module over with highest weight λ. For a finite-dimensional -module U we introduce a notion of a regularizing operator, acting in U, which makes the meromorphic family of intertwining operators holomorphic, and conjugates the dynamical Weyl group operators A_w(λ)∈End(U) to constant operators. We establish fundamental properties of regularizing operators, including uniqueness, and prove the existence of a regularizing operator in the case .     

Tensor products of holomorphic representations and bilinear differential operators

Let be the weighted Bergman space on a bounded symmetric domain D=G/K. It has analytic continuation in the weight ν and for ν in the so-called Wallach set still forms unitary irreducible (projective) representations of G. We give the irreducible decomposition of the tensor product of the representations for any two unitary weights ν and we find the highest weight vectors of the irreducible components. We find also certain bilinear differential intertwining operators realizing the decomposition, and they generalize the classical transvectants in invariant theory of . As applications, we find a generalization of the Bol's lemma and we characterize the multiplication operators by the coordinate functions on the quotient space of the tensor product modulo the subspace of functions vanishing of certain degree on the diagonal.     

Inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators in impedance form

The spectral properties of Sturm-Liouville operators with an impedance in , for some p∈[1,∞), are studied. In particular, a complete solution of the inverse spectral problem is provided.     

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.     

Extremal functions as divisors for kernels of Toeplitz operators

In this paper, an extremal function of a Banach space of analytic functions in the unit disk (not all functions vanishing at 0) is a function solving the extremal problem for functions f of norm 1. We study extremal functions of kernels of Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces H^p, 1<p<∞. Such kernels are special cases of so-called nearly invariant subspaces with respect to the backward shift, for which Hitt proved that when p=2, extremal functions act as isometric divisors. We show that the extremal function is still a contractive divisor when p<2 and an expansive divisor when p>2 (modulo p-dependent multiplicative constants). We give examples showing that the extremal function may fail to be a contractive divisor when p>2 and also fail to be an expansive divisor when p<2. We discuss to what extent these results characterize the Toeplitz operators via invariant subspaces for the backward shift.     

Rationality theorems for Hecke operators on GLn

We define n families of Hecke operators for GL_n whose generating series are rational functions of the form q_k(u)⁻¹ where q_k is a polynomial of degree , and whose form is that of the kth exterior product. This work can be viewed as a refinement of work of Andrianov (Math. USSR Sb. 12(3) (1970)), in which he defined Hecke operators the sum of whose generating series was a rational function with nontrivial numerator and whose denominator was essentially .By a careful analysis of the Satake map which defines an isomorphism between a local Hecke algebra and a ring of symmetric polynomials, we define n families of (polynomial) Hecke operators and characterize their generating series as rational functions. We then give an explicit means by which to locally invert the Satake isomorphism, and show how to translate these polynomial operators back to the classical double coset setting. The classical Hecke operators have generating series of exactly the same form as their polynomial counterparts, and hence are of number-theoretic interest. We give explicit examples for GL₃ and GL₄.     

Spectral and scattering theory for symbolic potentials of order zero

The spectral and scattering theory is investigated for a generalization, to scattering metrics on two-dimensional compact manifolds with boundary, of the class of smooth potentials on which are homogeneous of degree zero near infinity. The most complete results require the additional assumption that the restriction of the potential to the circle(s) at infinity be Morse. Generalized eigenfunctions associated to the essential spectrum at non-critical energies are shown to originate both at minima and maxima, although the latter are not germane to the L² spectral theory. Asymptotic completeness is shown, both in the traditional L² sense and in the sense of tempered distributions. This leads to a definition of the scattering matrix, the structure of which will be described in a future publication.
