Reducing Subspaces for a Class of Multiplication Operators

Let D be the open unit disk in the complex plane C. The Bergmanspace is the Hilbert space of analytic functions f in D such that where dA is the normalized area measure on D. If are two functions in , then the inner product of f and g is given by We study multiplication operators on induced by analytic functions. Thus for H (D), the space ofbounded analytic functions in D, we define by It is easy to check that M is a bounded linear operator on with ||M||=||||=sup{|(z)|:zD}.     

On Ramanujan's Inequalities for exp(k)

Ramanujan claimed in his first letter to Hardy (16 January 1913)that where (k) lies between 2/21 and 8/45. This conjecture was provedin 1995 by Flajolet et al. The paper establishes the followingrefinement. where Both bounds for ^*(k) are sharp.

Let w(x), u(x) and (x) be weight functions. In this paper, underappropriate conditions on Young's functions ₁, ₂ we characterizethe inequality for the Hardy-typeoperator T defined in [1] and the inequality for the fractional maximal operator M_{, ;} definedin [8], as well as the corresponding weak-type inequalities.     

On Artin's Braid Group And Polyconvexity In The Calculus Of Variations

Let R² be a bounded Lipschitz domain and let be a Carathèodory integrand such that F(x,·) is polyconvex for L²-a.e. x . Moreover assume thatF is bounded from below and satisfies the condition as det for L²-a.e. x . The paper describes the effect of domain topologyon the existence and multiplicity of strong local minimizersof the functional wherethe map u lies in the Sobolev space W_id^1,p (, R²) with p 2and satisfies the pointwise condition u(x) >0 for L²-a.e.x . The question is settled by establishing that F[·]admits a set of strong local minimizers on that can be indexed by the group P_n Zⁿ, the directsum of Artin's pure braid group on n strings and n copies ofthe infinite cyclic group. The dependence on the domain topologyis through the number of holes n in and the different mechanismsthat give rise to such local minimizers are fully exploitedby this particular representation.     

One-Sided BMO Spaces

In this paper we introduce the one-sided sharp functions dennedby and where z⁺ = max(z, 0). We study the BMO spaces associatedto and and their relation with the good weights for theone-sided Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions. Finally, as anapplication of our results, we characterize the weights forone-sided fractional integrals and one-sided fractional maximaloperators.     

The Weiss Conjecture for Bounded Analytic Semigroups

New results concerning the so-called Weiss conjecture on admissibleoperators for bounded analytic semigroups are given. Let be a bounded analytic semigroup withgenerator –A on some Banach space X. It is proved thatif A^1/2 is admissible for A, that is, if there is an estimate then any continuous mappingC : D(A) Y valued in a Banach space Y is admissible for A providedthat there is an estimate .for , Re()<0. This holds in particular if is a contractive (analytic) semigroup on Hilbertspace. In the converse direction, it is shown that this mayhappen for a bounded analytic semigroup on Hilbert space thatis not similar to a contractive one. Applications in non-HilbertianBanach spaces are also given.     

Tangential Boundary Behaviour of Harmonic and Holomorphic Functions

Let K be a kernel on Rⁿ, that is, K is a non-negative, unboundedL¹ function that is radially symmetric and decreasing. We definethe convolution K * F by and note from L^p-capacity theory [11, Theorem 3] that, if F L^p, p > 1, then K * F exists as a finite Lebesgue integraloutside a set A Rⁿ with C_K,p(A) = 0. For a Borel set A, where We define the Poisson kernel for = {(x, y) : x Rⁿ, y > 0} by and set Thus u is the Poisson integral of the potential f = K * F, andwe write u=P_y*(K*F)=P_y*f=P[f]. We are concerned here with the limiting behaviour of such harmonicfunctions at boundary points of , and in particular with the tangential boundary behaviour ofthese functions, outside exceptional sets of capacity zero orHausdorff content zero.     

Ergodicity of a Class of Cocycles Over Irrational Rotations

It is proved that if is irrational and L²(S¹) with o(l/n)then for each mZ\{0} the corresponding skew product is ergodic. The rigidity of specialflows over irrational rotations with roof functions whose Fouriercoefficients are in o(l/n) is also shown.     

On the Compactness and Approximation Numbers of Hardy-Type Integral Operators in Lorentz Spaces

We characterize the mapping properties such as the boundedness,compactness and measure of noncompactness for those real weightfunctions , , u0, v0, for which the Hardy-type integral operatorof the form acts from to , when the parameters are restricted to the range 1 < max (r,s) min (p, q) < and the kernel k(x, y) 0 satisfies theOinarov condition (see (2) below). For the case k(x, y) = 1,we obtain lower and upper estimates of the approximation numbers,extending the result of [5].     

Turan's Inequalities for Trigonometric Polynomials

We present here a technique for establishing inequalities ofthe form in the set of alltrigonometric polynomials of order n which have only real zeros.The function is assumed to be convex and increasing on [0,). As a corollary of the main result we get Turan's inequalities with the exact constantc(n, k, q) for each 1 q , n and k.     

Inverse Spectral Problems for Sturm-Liouville Equations with Eigenparameter Dependent Boundary Conditions

Inverse Sturm–Liouville problems with eigenparameter-dependentboundary conditions are considered. Theorems analogous to thoseof both Hochstadt and Gelfand and Levitan are proved. In particular, let ly = (1/r)(–(py')'+qy), , where det = > 0, c 0, det > 0, t 0 and (cs + dr –au – tb)² < 4(cr – ta)(ds – ub). Denoteby (l; ; ) the eigenvalue problem ly = y with boundary conditionsy(0)cos+y'(0)sin = 0 and (a+b)y(1) = (c+d)(py')(1). Define (; ; ) as above but with l replacedby . Let w_n denote the eigenfunctionof (l; ; ) having eigenvalue n and initial conditions w_n(0)= sin and pw'_n(0) = –cos and let _n = –aw_n(1)+cpw'_n(1).Define _n and _n similarly. As sample results, it is proved that if (l; ; ) and (; ; ) have the same spectrum, and (l;; ) and (; ; ) have the samespectrum or for all n, thenq/r = /.

Real Interpolation and Two Variants of Gehring's Lemma

Let be a fixed open cube in Rⁿ. For r[1, ) and [0, ) we define where Q is a cube in Rⁿ (with sides parallel to the coordinateaxes) and _Q stands for the characteristic function of the cubeQ. A well-known result of Gehring [5] states that if (1.1) for some p(1, ) and c(0, ), then there exist q(p, ) and C=C(p,q, n, c)(0, ) such that for all cubes Q, where |Q| denotes the n-dimensional Lebesguemeasure of Q. In particular, a function fL¹() satisfying (1.1)belongs to L^q(). In [9] it was shown that Gehring's result is a particular caseof a more general principle from the real method of interpolation.Roughly speaking, this principle states that if a certain reversedinequality between K-functionals holds at one point of an interpolationscale, then it holds at other nearby points of this scale. Usingan extension of Holmstedt's reiteration formulae of [4] andresults of [8] on weighted inequalities for monotone functions,we prove here two variants of this principle involving extrapolationspaces of an ordered pair of (quasi-) Banach spaces. As an applicationwe prove the following Gehring-type lemmas.
