Some results on the nonstationary ideal

The strength of precipitousness, presaturatedness and saturatedness of NS_κ and NS _κ ^λ is studied. In particular, it is shown that:

1. The exact strength of “ $NS_{\mu ^ + }^\lambda $ for a regularμ > max(λ, ?₁)” is a (ω,μ)-repeat point.
2. The exact strength of “NS_κ is presaturated over inaccessible κ” is an up-repeat point.
3. “NS_κ is saturated over inaccessible κ” implies an inner model with ?αo(α) =α ⁺⁺.

     

ℙmax variations related to slaloms

We prove the iteration lemmata, which are the key lemmata to show that extensions by Pmax variations satisfy absoluteness for Π₂-statements in the structure 〈H (ω ₂), ∈, NS_{ω 1}, R 〉 for some set R of reals in L (ℝ), for the following statements: (1) The cofinality of the null ideal is ℵ₁. (2) There exists a good basis of the strong measure zero ideal. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The canonical function game

The canonical function game is a game of length ω ₁ introduced by W. Hugh Woodin which falls inside a class of games known as Neeman games. Using large cardinals, we show that it is possible to force that the game is not determined. We also discuss the relationship between this result and Σ² ₂ absoluteness, cardinality spectra and Π₂ maximality for H(ω ₂) relative to the Continuum Hypothesis.     

Trivial automorphisms

We prove that the statement ‘For all Borel ideals I and J on ω, every isomorphism between Boolean algebras P(ω)/I and P(ω)/J has a continuous representation’ is relatively consistent with ZFC. In this model every isomorphism between P(ω)/I and any other quotient P(ω)/J over a Borel ideal is trivial for a number of Borel ideals I on ω. We can also assure that the dominating number, σ, is equal to ?₁ and that \({2^{{\aleph _1}}} > {2^{{\aleph _0}}}\) . Therefore, the Calkin algebra has outer automorphisms while all automorphisms of P(ω)/Fin are trivial. Proofs rely on delicate analysis of names for reals in a countable support iteration of Suslin proper forcings.     

Fragility and indestructibility of the tree property

We prove various theorems about the preservation and destruction of the tree property at ω ₂. Working in a model of Mitchell [9] where the tree property holds at ω ₂, we prove that ω ₂ still has the tree property after ccc forcing of size ${\aleph_1}$ or adding an arbitrary number of Cohen reals. We show that there is a relatively mild forcing in this same model which destroys the tree property. Finally we prove from a supercompact cardinal that the tree property at ω ₂ can be indestructible under ω ₂-directed closed forcing.     

On the existence and smoothness of a generalized solution of a nonlinear differential equation with degeneration

Let Ω be an arbitrary open set in R _n , and let σ(x) and g _i (x), i = 1, 2, ..., n, be positive functions in Ω. We prove a embedding theorem of different metrics for the spaces W _p ^r (Ω, σ, $ \vec g $ ), where r ∈ N, p ≥ 1, and $ \vec g $ (x) = (g ₁(x), g ₂(x), ..., g _n (x)), with the norm $$ \left\| {u;W_p^r (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\| = \left\{ {\left\| {u;L_{p,r}^r (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\|^p + \left\| {u;L_{p,r}^0 (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\|^p } \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ where $$ \left\| {u;L_{p,r}^m (\Omega ;\sigma ,\vec g)} \right\| = \left\{ {\sum\limits_{\left| k \right| = m} {\int\limits_\Omega {(\sigma (x)g_1^{k_1 - r} (x)g_2^{k_2 - r} (x) \cdots g_n^{k_n - r} (x)\left| {u^{(k)} (x)} \right|)^p dx} } } \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} p}} , $$ We use this theorem to prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimizing element U(x) ∈ W _p ^r (Ω, σ, $ \vec g $ ) for the functional $$ \Phi (u) = \sum\limits_{\left| k \right| \leqslant r} {\frac{1} {{p_k }}\int\limits_\Omega {a_k (x)} \left| {u^{(k)} (x)} \right|^{p_k } } dx - \left\langle {F,u} \right\rangle , $$ where F is a given functional. We show that the function U(x) is a generalized solution of the corresponding nonlinear differential equation. For the case in which Ω is bounded, we study the differential properties of the generalized solution depending on the smoothness of the coefficients and the right-hand side of the equation.     

Признак Дини-Липшица и сходимость рядов Фу рье по мультипликативны м системам

Fourier serieses with respect to Vilenkin multiplicative systems are studied. It is proved that a Dini-Lipschitz condition imposed on the group or group integral modulus of continuity is sufficient for the convergence of the series in the normC(·) orL(·), respectively. Necessity in the classesH _ω andH _ω ¹ of that condition is also proved. A boundedness criterion of the sequence of partial sums inH _ω andH _ω ¹ is also obtained.     

ON possible Turán densities

The Turán density π(F) of a family F of k-graphs is the limit as n → ∞ of the maximum edge density of an F-free k-graph on n vertices. Let Π _∞ ^(k) consist of all possible Turán densities and let Π _fin ^(k) ? Π _∞ ^(k) be the set of Turán densities of finite k-graph families. Here we prove that Π _fin ^(k) contains every density obtained from an arbitrary finite construction by optimally blowing it up and using recursion inside the specified set of parts. As an application, we show that Π _fin ^(k) contains an irrational number for each k ≥ 3. Also, we show that Π _∞ ^(k) has cardinality of the continuum. In particular, Π _∞ ^(k) ≠ Π _fin ^(k) .     

Derived space of L p (G, H)

Let G denote a locally compact abelian group and H a separable Hilbert space. Let L _p (G, H), 1 ≤ p < ∞, be the space of H-valued measurable functions which are in the usual L _p space. Motivated by the work of Helgason [1], Figa-Talamanca [11] and Bachelis [2, 3], we have defined the derived space of the Banach space L _p (G, H) and have studied its properties. Similar to the scalar case, we prove that if G is a noncompact, locally compact abelian group, then L _p ⁰ (G, H) = {0} holds for 1 ≤ p < 2. Let G be a compact abelian group and Γ be its dual group. Let S _p (G, H) be the L ₁(G) Banach module of functions in L _p (G, H) having unconditionally convergent Fourier series in L _p -norm. We show that S _p (G, H) coincides with the derived space L _p ⁰ (G, H), as in the scalar valued case. We also show that if G is compact and abelian, then L _p ⁰ (G, H) = L ₂(G, H) holds for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2. Thus, if F ∈ L _p (G, H), 1 ≤ p < 2 and F has an unconditionally convergent Fourier series in L _p -norm, then F ∈ L ₂(G, H). Let Ω be the set of all functions on Γ taking only the values 1, ?1 and Ω* be the set of all complex-valued functions on Γ having absolute value 1. As an application of the derived space L _p ⁰ (G, H), we prove the following main result of this paper. Let G be a compact abelian group and F be an H-valued function on the dual group Γ such that $$ \sum \omega (\gamma )F(\gamma )\gamma $$ is a Fourier-Stieltjes series of some measure µ ∈ M(G, H) for every scalar function ω such that |ω(γ)| = 1. Then F ∈ l ²(Γ, H).

The Consistency Strength of \aleph_{\omega} and \aleph_{{\omega}_1} Being Rowbottom Cardinals Without the Axiom of Choice

We show that for all natural numbers n, the theory “ZF + DC $_{\aleph_n}$ + $\aleph_{\omega}$ is a Rowbottom cardinal carrying a Rowbottom filter” has the same consistency strength as the theory “ZFC + There exists a measurable cardinal”. In addition, we show that the theory “ZF + $\aleph_{\omega_1}$ is an ω ₂-Rowbottom cardinal carrying an ω ₂-Rowbottom filter and ω ₁ is regular” has the same consistency strength as the theory “ZFC + There exist ω ₁ measurable cardinals”. We also discuss some generalizations of these results.     

On the regularity of solutions of model nonlinear elliptic systems with the oblique derivative type boundary condition

Properties of generalized solutions of model nonlinear elliptic systems of second order are studied in the semiball $B_1^ + = B_1 (0) \cap \{ x_n > 0\} \subset $ ? ⁿ , with the oblique derivative type boundary condition on $\Gamma _1 = B_1 (0) \cap \{ x_n = 0\} $ . For solutionsu∈H ¹(B ₁ ⁺ ) of systems of the form $\frac{d}{{dx_\alpha }}a_\alpha ^k (u_x ) = 0, k \leqslant {\rm N}$ , it is proved that the derivatives u_x are Hölder in $B_1^ + \cup \Gamma _1 )\backslash \Sigma $ , where H_n?p(σ)=0,p>2. It is shown for continuous solutions u from H¹(B₁/⁺) of systems $\frac{d}{{dx_\alpha }}a_\alpha ^k (u,u_x ) = 0$ that the derivatives u_x are Hölder on the set $(B_1^ + \cup \Gamma _1 )\backslash \Sigma , dim_\kappa \Sigma \leqslant n - 2$ .

Eigenvalue problems for quasilinear elliptic systems with limiting nonlinearity

In this paper, we consider a class of quasilinear elliptic eigenvalue problems with limiting nonlinearity. First, we use the concentration-compactness principle to get the existence of a minimum uεH ₀ ¹ (ω,R ^N ) of the minimization problem \(I_{\lambda _0 } = \inf \{ \smallint _\Omega (a_{\alpha \beta } (x)g_{ij} (u)D_\alpha u^i D_\beta u^j + h(x)|u|^2 )|u \in H_0^1 (\Omega ,R^N ),\smallint _\Omega |u|^{2n/(n - 2)} = \lambda _0 \} ;\) then we apply the reverse Hölder inequality to prove thatuεL ^∞ (ω, R ^N ).     

Pair correlation of roots of rational functions with rational generating functions and quadratic denominators

For any rational functions with complex coefficients A(z),B(z), and C(z), where A(z), C(z) are not identically zero, we consider the sequence of rational functions H _m (z) with generating function ∑H _m (z)t ^m =1/(A(z)t ²+B(z)t+C(z)). We provide an explicit formula for the limiting pair correlation function of the roots of $\prod_{m=0}^{n}H_{m}(z)$ , as n→∞, counting multiplicities, on certain closed subarcs J of a curve $\mathcal{C}$ where the roots lie. We give an example where the limiting pair correlation function does not exist if J contains the endpoints of $\mathcal{C}$ .     

Mesh ratios for best-packing and limits of minimal energy configurations

For N-point best-packing configurations ω _N on a compact metric space (A,ρ), we obtain estimates for the mesh-separation ratio γ(ω _N ,A), which is the quotient of the covering radius of ω _N relative to A and the minimum pairwise distance between points in ω _N . For best-packing configurations ω _N that arise as limits of minimal Riesz s-energy configurations as s→∞, we prove that γ(ω _N ,A)≦1 and this bound can be attained even for the sphere. In the particular case when N=5 on S ² with ρ the Euclidean metric, we prove our main result that among the infinitely many 5-point best-packing configurations there is a unique configuration, namely a square-base pyramid $\omega_{5}^{*}$ , that is the limit (as s→∞) of 5-point s-energy minimizing configurations. Moreover, $\gamma(\omega_{5}^{*},S^{2})=1$ .     

Some embedding theorems for generalized Nikol'skii classes from Lorentz spaces

Quasi-normed Lorentz spaces Λ_{ψ, q} of 2π-periodic functions with quasinorms $$\left\| f \right\|_{\psi ,q} = \left\{ {\int\limits_0^{2\pi } {\psi ^q (t)\left[ {\frac{1}{t}\int\limits_0^t {f * (x)} dx} \right]} ^q \frac{{dt}}{t}} \right\}^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 q}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} q}} $$ (0<q<∞,ω(t): [0,2π]→R is a continuous concave function with finite derivative everywhere on (0, 2gp)) and classes of functions $$H_{\psi ,q}^\omega \equiv \{ f(x):f(x) \in \Lambda _{\psi ,q} ;\mathop {\sup }\limits_{0 \leqq h \leqq \delta } \left\| {f(x + h) - f(x)} \right\|_{\psi ,q} = O\{ \omega (\delta )\} , \delta \to + 0\} $$ (ω(δ) — modulus of continuity) are studied. Precise embedding conditions of classes H _{ψ, q} ^ω into Lorentz spaces and into each other are obtained: $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {H_{\psi ,q_1 }^\omega \subset \Lambda _{\psi ,q_2 } ;} & {H_{\psi ,q_1 }^\omega \subset {\rm H}_{\psi ,q_2 }^{\omega * } ,} & {0< q_2< q_1< \infty ,} \\ \end{array} $$ under conditions \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{t \to \infty } \frac{{\psi (2t)}}{{\psi (t)}} > 1,\mathop {\overline {\lim } }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{{\psi (2t)}}{{\psi (t)}}< 2\) andω(δ)=O{ω(δ ²)},δ→+0, andω ^* (δ) is an arbitrary modulus of continuity.     

Exact solution of the hypergraph Turán problem for k-uniform linear paths

A k-uniform linear path of length ?, denoted by ? _? ^(k) , is a family of k-sets {F ₁,...,F _? such that |F _i ∩ F _i+1|=1 for each i and F _i ∩ F _bj = \(\not 0\) whenever |i?j|>1. Given a k-uniform hypergraph H and a positive integer n, the k-uniform hypergraph Turán number of H, denoted by ex _k (n, H), is the maximum number of edges in a k-uniform hypergraph \(\mathcal{F}\) on n vertices that does not contain H as a subhypergraph. With an intensive use of the delta-system method, we determine ex _k (n, P _? ^(k) exactly for all fixed ? ≥1, k≥4, and sufficiently large n. We show that $ex_k (n,\mathbb{P}_{2t + 1}^{(k)} ) = (_{k - 1}^{n - 1} ) + (_{k - 1}^{n - 2} ) + \cdots + (_{k - 1}^{n - t} )$ . The only extremal family consists of all the k-sets in [n] that meet some fixed set of t vertices. We also show that $ex(n,\mathbb{P}_{2t + 2}^{(k)} ) = (_{k - 1}^{n - 1} ) + (_{k - 1}^{n - 2} ) + \cdots + (_{k - 1}^{n - t} ) + (_{k - 2}^{n - t - 2} )$ , and describe the unique extremal family. Stability results on these bounds and some related results are also established.     

A base-matrix lemma for sets of rationals modulo nowhere dense sets

We study some properties of the quotient forcing notions ${Q_{tr(I)} = \wp(2^{< \omega})/tr(I)}$ and P _I ?= B(2 ^ω )/I in two special cases: when I is the σ-ideal of meager sets or the σ-ideal of null sets on 2 ^ω . We show that the remainder forcing R _I =?Q _tr(I)/P _I is σ-closed in these cases. We also study the cardinal invariant of the continuum ${\mathfrak{h}_{\mathbb{Q}}}$ , the distributivity number of the quotient ${Dense(\mathbb{Q})/nwd}$ , in order to show that ${\wp(\mathbb{Q})/nwd}$ collapses ${\mathfrak{c}}$ to ${\mathfrak{h}_{\mathbb{Q}}}$ , thus answering a question addressed in Balcar et?al. (Fundamenta Mathematicae 183:59–80, 2004).

Approximation of functions of several variables by spherical Riesz means

For even N ≥ 2 and δ 2N-3 (for N-2 or 4 we assume that δ > (N-1)/2) we find asymptotic approximations for the quantity $$E_R^\delta (H_{\rm N}^\omega ) = \mathop {sup}\limits_{f \in H_{\rm N}^\omega } \parallel f(x) - S_R^\omega (x,f)\parallel _ \in (R \to \infty ),$$ , where S _R ^δ (x,f) is the spherical Riesz mean of order δ of the Fourier kernel of the functionf(x), and H _N ^ω is the class of periodic functions of N variables whose moduli of continuity do not exceed a given convex modulus of continuity ω(δ). For N 2 and δ > 1/2 the result is known.
