Multiple sums and integrals as neutral BKP tau functions

We consider multiple sums and multiple integrals as tau functions of the so-called neutral Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy on a root lattice of type B; neutral fermions, as the simplest tool, are used to derive them. The sums are taken over projective Schur functions Q_α for strict partitions α. We consider two types of such sums: weighted sums of Q_α over strict partitions α and sums over products Q_αQ_γ. We thus obtain discrete analogues of the beta ensembles (β = 1, 2, 4). Continuous versions are represented as multiple integrals, which are interesting in several problems in mathematics and physics.     

Onl p-complemented copies in Orlicz spaces

Let 1<α≦β<∞ andF be an arbitrary closed subset of the interval [α,β]. An Orlicz sequence spacel ^φ (resp. an Orlicz function spaceL ^φ(μ)) with associated indices α and β is found in such a way that the set of valuesp for which thel ^p-space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace ofl ^φ (resp.L ^φ(μ)) is precisely the given setF (resp.F ∪ {2}). Also, a recent result of Hernández and Peirats [1] is extended showing that, even for the case in which the indices satisfy α_φ ^∞<2<β_φ ^∞, there exist minimal Orlicz function spacesL ^φ(μ) with no complemented copy ofl ^p for anyp ≠ 2.

Fields of values of Fong characters

If G is a p-solvable finite group with a p-complement H and φ ∈ IBr(G), then P. Fong showed that there exists α ∈ Irr(H) such that α^G=Φ_φ. In this note we prove that α can be chosen such that the field of values index divides φ (1)p. Received: 6 May 2005     

A Class of Operators on Weighted Bergman Spaces

This paper studies the connection between an analytic function φ on the unit disk and a certain type of operators induced by φ on weighted Bergman spaces A ^α of analytic functions on . The general theme is the interplay between smoothness conditions on φ and the S _p -norms of the operators induced by φ.      

On the number of real critical points of logarithmic derivatives and the Hawaii conjecture

For a given real entire function φ in the class U _2n ^*, n ≥ 0, with finitely many nonreal zeroes, we establish a connection between the number of real zeroes of the functions Q[φ] = (φ′/φ)′ and Q ₁[φ] = (φ″/φ′)′. This connection leads to a proof of the Hawaii Conjecture (T. Craven, G. Csordas, and W. Smith [5]), which states that if φ is a real polynomial, then the number of real zeroes of Q[φ] does not exceed the number of nonreal zeroes of φ.     

The theory of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis> degrees is undecidable

Let α be an arbitrary Σ₁-admissible ordinal. For each n, there is a formula φ _n ([(x)\vec],[(y)\vec]\vec x,\vec y) such that for any relation R on a finite set F with n elements, there are α-degrees [(p)\vec]{\vec p} such that the relation defined by φ _n ([(x)\vec],[(p)\vec]\vec x,\vec p) is isomorphic to R. Consequently, the theory of α-degrees is undecidable.     

Weighted composition operators on weighted Bergman spaces of bounded symmetric domains

In this paper, we study the weighted compositon operators on weighted Bergman spaces of bounded symmetric domains. The necessary and sufficient conditions for a weighted composition operator W _φψ to be bounded and compact are studied by using the Carleson measure techniques. In the last section, we study the Schatten p-class weighted composition operators.     

Closed-Range Composition Operators on Weighted Bergman Spaces

For analytic self-maps φ of the unit disk, we show that recently given conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for the composition operator C _φ to be closed-range on the classical Bergman space \mathbbA²{\mathbb{A}^2} are actually necessary and sufficient in the general setting of the weighted Bergman spaces \mathbbA^p_a{\mathbb{A}^p_{\alpha}} , for 1 ≤ p < ∞ and weights of the form (1 - |z|²)^a{(1 - |z|^2)^{\alpha}} ; where α > −1. Along the way, we show how work done in a paper of J. Akeroyd, P. Ghatage and M. Tjani can be used to improve upon the most definitive of these conditions, and we give applications.     

The Gleason’s problem for some polyharmonic and hyperbolic harmonic function spaces

Let Ω ⊆ ℝⁿ be a bounded convex domain with C ² boundary. For 0 < p, q ⩽ ∞ and a normal weight φ, the mixed norm space H _k ^p,q,φ (Ω) consists of all polyharmonic functions f of order k for which the mixed norm ∥ · ∥_p,q,φ < ∞. In this paper, we prove that the Gleason’s problem (Ω, a, H _k ^p,q,φ ) is always solvable for any reference point a ∈ Ω. Also, the Gleason’s problem for the polyharmonic φ-Bloch (little φ-Bloch) space is solvable. The parallel results for the hyperbolic harmonic mixed norm space are obtained.     

The best Lipschitz constants of Bernstein polynomials and Bezier nets over a given triangle

This paper proved the following three facts about the Lipschitz continuous property of Bernstein polynomials and Bezier nets defined on a triangle: suppose f(P) is a real valued function defined on a triangle T, (1) If f(P) satisfies Lipschitz continuous condition, i.e. f(P)∃Lip_Aα, then the corresponding Bernstein Bezier net f_n∃Lip _Asec ^αφα, here φ is the half of the largest angle of triangle T; (2) If Bernstein Bezier net f_n∃Lip _Bα, then its elevation Bezier net Ef_n∃Lip _Bα; and (3) If f(P)∃Lip _Aα, then the corresponding Bernstein polynomials B_n(f;P)∃Lip _Asec ^αφα, and the constant Asec^αφ is best in some sense.

Univalent functions in Hardy, Bergman, Bloch and related spaces

The aim of this paper is to show that univalent functions in several classical function spaces can be characterized by integral conditions involving the maximum modulus function. For a suitable choice of parameters, the established condition or its appropriate variant reduces to a known characterization of univalent functions in the Hardy or weighted Bergman space and gives a new characterization of univalent functions in several M?bius invariant function spaces, such as BMOA, Q _p or the Bloch space. It is proved, for example, that univalent functions in the Dirichlet type space are the same as the univalent functions in H _α ^p and S _α ^p if p ≥ 2. Moreover, it is shown that there is in a sense a much smaller M?bius invariant subspace of the Bloch space than Q _p still containing all univalent Bloch functions.

Weighted composition operators on growth spaces

Denote by Hol(B _n ) the space of all holomorphic functions in the unit ball B _n of ℂ ⁿ , n ≥ 1. Given g ∈ Hol(B _m ) and a holomorphic mapping φ: B _m → B _n , put C _φ ^g f = g · (f ∘ φ) for f ∈ Hol(B _n ). We characterize those g and φ for which C _φ ^g is a bounded (or compact) operator from the growth space A ^−log(B _n ) or A ^−β (B _n ), β > 0, to the weighted Bergman space A _α ^p (B _m ), 0 < p < ∞, α > −1. We obtain some generalizations of these results and study related integral operators.     

Strongly singular convolution operators on the weighted Herz-type Hardy spaces

Let 0<p≤1<q<0, andw ₁ ,w ₂ ∈ A ₁ (Muckenhoupt-class). In this paper the authors prove that the strongly singular convolution operators are bounded from the homogeneous weighted Herz-type Hardy spacesH K^{α, p} _q(w₁; w₂) to the homogeneous weighted Herz spacesK ^{α, p} _q (w₁; w₂), provided α=n(1−1/q). Moreover, the boundedness of these operators on the non-homogeneous weighted Herz-type Hardy spacesH K ^{α, p} _q (w ₁;w ₂) is also investigated.

Toeplitz operators and arguments of analytic functions

For a Toeplitz operator T _φ , we study the interrelationship between smoothness properties of the symbol φ and those of the functions annihilated by T _φ . For instance, it follows from our results that if φ is a unimodular function on the circle lying in some Lipschitz or Zygmund space Λ^α with 0 < α < ∞, and if f is an H ^p -function (p ≥ 1) with T _φ f = 0, then f ∈ Λ^α and

Jackson and Bernstein theorems for the weight exp(−|x|) on ℝ

In 1978, Freud, Giroux and Rahman established a weightedL ₁ Jackson theorem for the weight exp(−|x|) on the real line, using methods that work only inL ₁. This weight is somewhat exceptional, for it sits on the boundary between weights like exp(-|x|^α), α≥1, where weighted polynomials are dense, and the case α<1, where weighted polynomials are not dense. We obtain the firstL _p Jackson theorem for exp(−|x|), valid in allL _p , 0<p≤∞, as well as for higher order moduli of continuity. We also establish a converse Bernstein type theorem, characterizing rates of approximation in terms of smoothness of the approximated function. Research supported by NSF grant DMS 0400446.     

Vector-valued weak martingale Hardy spaces and atomic decompositions

Some atomic decomposition theorems are proved in vector-valued weak martingale Hardy spaces w _p Σ_α(X), w _p Q _α(X) and wD _α(X). As applications of atomic decompositions, a sufficient condition for sublinear operators defined on some vector-valued weak martingale Hardy spaces to be bounded is given. In particular, some weak versions of martingale inequalities for the operators f*, S ^(p)(f) and σ^(p)(f) are obtained.

Potential Analysis on Carnot Groups，Part II：Relationship between Hausdorff Measures and Capacities

Abstract In this paper, we establish the relationship between Hausdorff measures and Bessel capacities on any nilpotent stratified Lie group (i. e., Carnot group). In particular, as a special corollary of our much more general results, we have the following theorem (see Theorems A and E in Section 1): Let Q be the homogeneous dimension of . Given any set E ⊂ , B _α,p (E) = 0 implies ℋ ^{Q−αp+ ε}(E) = 0 for all ε > 0. On the other hand, ℋ ^Q−αp (E) < ∞ implies B _α,p (E) = 0. Consequently, given any set E ⊂ of Hausdorff dimension Q − d, where 0 < d < Q, B _α,p (E) = 0 holds if and only if αp ≤ d. A version of O. Frostman’s theorem concerning Hausdorff measures on any homogeneous space is also established using the dyadic decomposition on such a space (see Theorem 4.4 in Section 4).

Asymptotic representations of solutions of nonautonomous ordinary differential equations with regularly varying nonlinearities

We obtain asymptotic representations as t ↑ ω, ω ≤ + ∞, for all possible types of P _ω(Y ₀, λ ₀)-solutions (where Y ₀ is zero or ±∞ and −∞ ≤ λ₀ ≤ +∞) of nonlinear differential equations y ⁽ⁿ⁾ = α ₀ p(t)φ(y), where α ₀ ∈ {−1, 1}, p: [a, ω[→]0,+∞[ is a continuous function, and φ is a continuous regularly varying function in a one-sided neighborhood of Y ₀.     

Herz Classes and Toeplitz Operators in the Disk

In this paper we decompose into diadic annuli and consider the class S_p,q of Toeplitz operators T_φ for which the sequence of Schatten norms belongs to ℓ^q, where φ_n = φχ A_n. We study the boundedness and compactness of the operators in S_p,q and we describe the operators T_φ , φ ≥ 0 in these spaces in terms of weighted Herz norms of the averaging operator of the symbols φ.     

On wavelet decomposition of spaces of first order splines

We consider approximate relations in the form of a system of linear algebraic equations that yield B _φ -splines. We construct Lagrange type splines of the first order and give examples of polynomial, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and exponential B _φ -splines. We also construct a system of linear functionals biorthogonal to the B _φ -splines and resolve an interpolation problem generated by this system. For refined nonuniform grids we establish an embedding of spaces of B _φ -splines. The decomposition and reconstruction formulas are obtained. Bibliography: 20 titles.
