Non linear eigenvalues problems with a small parameter

In this work we study non linear eigenvalues problems like: [–² d²/dt²+(t²–)²+1]u=0 where. More precisely we study the spectrum of the operator: Q(;)=–²d²/dt²+(t²–)²+1 when 0, >0. Our method of proof consists in replacing our problem by a linear eigenvalue problem about a non self adjoint system.     

The convolution equation of Choquet and Deny on [IN]-groups

Let be a probability measure on a locally compact groupG. A real Borel functionf onG is called -harmonic if it satisfies the convolution equation *f=f. Given that isnonsingular with its translates, we show that the bounded -harmonic functions are constant on a class of groups including the almost connected [IN]-groups. If is nondegenerate and absolutely continuous, we solve the more general equation *= for positive measure on those groups which are metrizable and separable.Supported by Hong Kong RGC Earmarked Grant and CUHK Direct Grant     

Interpolation of spectra

By the M.Riesz Convexity Theorem, an operator T on the space of simple integrable functions into the measurable functions (on some measure space) which has continuous extensions to L^p() and L^q() , where 1 p q , also has continuous exten — sions to all L^r () , p r q . It is shown that, whenever (T_p) and (T_q) are o-dimensional (in particular, countable) then the spectra (T_r) (p r q) are pairwise identical. For q = , only w^*-continuous extensions are considered. An example due to Dayanithy shows that the conclusion fails in general.

Let X be a completely regular space. The customary -field is the coarsest -field on the space of Bairemeasures on X which makes (A) measurable for any Baire set A. We compare the customary -field with the Baire and Borel -field induced by the weak* topology which lies on the dual space C(X). In (2.3) it is shown that the customary -field is just the Baire -field. In part 3 necessary and sufficient conditions are given under which the set of -smooth measures is measurable with respect to the Borel -field which lies on the positive cone of the space of finitely additive, regular measures C(X). Finally, a decomposition theorem for generalized kernels is proved. The -smooth part of a generalized kernel is a kernel again if certain conditions are fulfilled.

Über gewisse diophantische Gleichungen mit unendlich vielen Lösungen

Let be a real number with 1<<12/11. Denote by [A] the integer part of the real number A. Using van der Corput-type estimates for trigonometrical sums, we prove that there exist infinitely many squares of the form [x] with natural x; actually, we give an asymptotic formula for the number of natural numbers x]=y² for some natural y. Furthermore, for every natural number d, the (Pell-like) equation [x]–dy²=1 has infinitely many solutions in natural numbers x and y · Also, every natural number n>n() can be written (in many ways) as n=[x]+y² with natural x and y. Instead of squares we study integer-valued polynomials of degree at least two.

Let M _n =X₁+...+X_n be a martingale with bounded differences X_m=M_m-M_m-1 such that {|X_m| _m}=1 with some nonnegative _m. Write ²= ₁ ² + ... + _n ² .

Noetherian Equations for Matrices

Let L|K be a finite Galois extension. Using central simple algebras we deal with the crossed representations of G = Gal(L|K) over L which are defined as mappings X of G into GL_n(L) satisfying X = X X. The last equation is the Noetherian equation in case n=1. Furtheron, more general crossed projective representations are considered which obey an equation X X = Xf_, where f_, L.     

Projektive G-Faserräume

Let > 0 be an integer. A projective -fibre space is formed by a covering of a projective geometry with -1 isomorphic geometries. The double elliptic space (Sphärischer Raum) is an example of a 2-fibre space. This note deals with projective -fibre spaces which are structured by multy valued orderfunctions (This notion was introduced by W. JUNKERS [2] for projective geometries) the range of which is a group G. If such an ordered -fibre space has the property ¦G¦=, it is called projective G-fibre space. It is proved that the desarguesian projective G-fibre spaces V are exactly those, which are induced by a vector space S over a field K (commutative or not) having a normal subgroup P K^*(·) with K^* P such that GK^*/P and SV^*/P. This theorem is a generalization of the well-known case P=K^*.

Harmonic functions on nilpotent groups

For a probability measure on a locally compact groupG which is not supported on any proper closed subgroup, an elementF ofL (G) is called -harmonic if F(st)d(t)=F(s), for almost alls inG. Constant functions are -harmonic and it is known that for abelianG all -harmonic functions are constant. For other groups it is known that non constant -harmonic functions exist and the question of whether such functions exist on nilpotent groups is open, though a number of partial results are known. We show that for nilpotent groups of class 2 there are no non constant -harmonic functions. Our methods also enable us to give new proofs of results similar to the known partial results.

The convergence rates of empirical Bayes estimation in a multiple linear regression model

Empirical Bayes (EB) estimation of the parameter vector =(,²) in a multiple linear regression modelY=X+ is considered, where is the vector of regression coefficient, N(0,² I) and ² is unknown. In this paper, we have constructed the EB estimators of by using the kernel estimation of multivariate density function and its partial derivatives. Under suitable conditions it is shown that the convergence rates of the EB estimators areO(n ^{-(k-1)(k-2)/k(2k+p+1)}), where the natural numberk3, 1/3<<1, andp is the dimension of vector .The project is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Extremal partition and estimates for the coefficients in the class σ(r)

Let be the known class of functions f(z)=z+₀+₁z^–1+..., that are meromorphic and univalent in the region U^*={z ¦z¦ < 1}, and let (r) be the class of functions of for which f(U^*) does not contain a singly connected domain D_f, 0 D_f, with conformal radius r with respect to the coordinate origin, 0 < r < 1. Sharp inequalities are obtained for certain functionals, and sharp bounds are obtained for ¦ ₁ ¦ and ¦ ₂ ¦ in the class (r). The proof illustrates the possibility of using results with a symmetrization character in problems on extremal partition of a Riemannian sphere to obtain sharp bounds for coefficients in the classes and (r).Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Pinning effect in peierls impurity systems with deviation from half-filling of the energy band

A study is made of the effect of deviation from half-filling of the energy band (0) on the Fröhlich collective mode in onedimensional impurity systems. A low impurity concentration is considered, and the infinite series of impurity scattering is taken into account self-consistently in the determination of the collective mode Green's function. The conductivity () is found in terms of this Green's function, and an analytic expression is obtained for () at _T ( _T is the pinning frequency). It is shown that for the ratio Re(()/_max) a universal formula arises. It differs from the results of Kurihara in the expression for _T , which contains an essential dependence on in the incommensurate state of the charge density wave. It is also shown that the width of the peak in the dependence () and its position increase with increasing .Institute of Applied Physics, Moldovan Academy of Sciences.

The Connes–Moscovici Approach to Cyclic Cohomology for Compact Quantum Groups

Consider the Hopf algebra (A, ) of regular functions on a compact quantum group. Let (A ^o ,) denote its maximal dual Hopf algebra. We show that the tensor product Hopf algebra (H ₂,₂) of (A ^o ,) and its opposite Hopf algebra is endowed with a modular pair (,) in involution; a notion introduced by A. Connes and J. Moscovici, who associate canonically a cocyclic object to such Hopf algebras. Denote the Hopf cyclic cohomology thus obtained by HC ^* _(,)(H ₂). Next we define an action of H ₂),₂ on A and show that the Haar state of (A, ) is a -invariant -trace on A with respect to this action. This gives us a canonical map from HC ^* _(,)(H ₂) to the ordinary cyclic cohomology of A.

Stationary Values of Sectional Curvature in Grassmann Manifolds of Bivectors

In the Grassmann manifold G _2,n ⁺ of bivectors (n4), the sectional curvature K() in the direction of a 2-plane takes values in [0,2].

Subgroups of the full linear group over a Dedekind ring

We study the subgroups of the full linear group GL(n, R) over a Dedekind ring R that contain the group of quasidiagonal matrices of fixed type with diagonal blocks of at least third order, each of which is generated by elementary matrices. For any such subgroup H there exists a unique D-net of ideals of R such that, where E() is the subgroup generated by all transvections of the net subgroup G(). and is the normalizer of G(). The subgroup E() is normal in. To study the factor group we introduce an intermediate subgroup F(), E() F() G(). The group is finite and is connected with permutations in the symmetric group. The factor group G()/F() is Abelian — these are the values of a certain determinant. In the calculation of F()/E() appears the SK₁-functor. Results are stated without proof.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A. Steklova AN SSSR, Vol. 94, pp. 13–20, 1979.
