Wreath products with the integers,proper actions and Hilbert space compression

We prove that the properties of acting metrically properly on some space with walls or some CAT(0) cube complex are closed by taking the wreath product with . We also give a lower bound for the (equivariant) Hilbert space compression of in terms of the (equivariant) Hilbert space compression of H. A la mémoire de Michel Matthey     

Hilbert space compression for free products and HNN-extensions

We investigate the behavior of equivariant and non-equivariant Hilbert space compression under group constructions. Given the (equivariant or non-equivariant) Hilbert space compression of two groups, we find bounds on the compression of their free product. We also investigate the case of HNN-extensions of a group relative to a subgroup which is finite or of finite index.     

An introduction to right-angled Artin groups

Recently, right-angled Artin groups have attracted much attention in geometric group theory. They have a rich structure of subgroups and nice algorithmic properties, and they give rise to cubical complexes with a variety of applications. This survey article is meant to introduce readers to these groups and to give an overview of the relevant literature.      

Some remarks on generalized roundness

By using the links between generalized roundness, negative type inequalities and equivariant Hilbert space compressions, we obtain that the generalized roundness of the usual Cayley graph of finitely generated free groups and free abelian groups of rank  ≥ 2 equals 1. This answers a question of J-F. Lafont and S. Prassidis.      

On exactness and isoperimetric profiles of discrete groups

We introduce a quasi-isometry invariant related to Property A and explore its connections to various other invariants of finitely generated groups. This allows to establish a direct relation between asymptotic dimension on one hand and isoperimetry and random walks on the other. We apply these results to reprove sharp estimates on isoperimetric profiles of some groups and to answer some questions in dimension theory.     

Hilbert space representations of general discrete time stochastic processes

We show that under mild conditions the joint densities Px₁,…,x_n) of the general discrete time stochastic process X_n on $\text{pH}$ can be computed via

$\text{Px}{}_1\text{,…,x}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{(x}{}_1\text{,…,x}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{) = 6?T(x}{}_1\text{)…T(x}{}_{\mathrm{n}}\text{)6}{}^2$

where ? is in a Hilbert space $\text{pH}$, and T (x), x ? $\text{pH}$ are linear operators on $\text{pH}$. We then show how the Central Limit Theorem can easily be derived from such representations.     

Phaseless inverse discrete Hilbert transform and determination of signals in shift‐invariant space

In this paper, we first address the uniqueness of phaseless inverse discrete Hilbert transform (phaseless IDHT for short) from the magnitude of discrete Hilbert transform (DHT for short). The measurement vectors of phaseless IDHT do not satisfy the complement property, a traditional requirement for ensuring the uniqueness of phase retrieval. Consequently, the uniqueness problem of phaseless IDHT is essentially different from that of the traditional phase retrieval. For the phaseless IDHT related to compactly supported functions, conditions are given in our first main theorem to ensure the uniqueness. A condition on the step size of DHT is crucial for the insurance. The second main theorem concerns the uniqueness related to noncompactly supported functions. It is not the trivial generalization of the first main theorem. Our third main result is on the determination of signals in shift‐invariant spaces by phaseless IDHT. Note that the measurements used for the determination are the DHT magnitudes. They are the approximations to the Hilbert transform magnitudes. Recall that for the existing methods of phaseless sampling (a special phase‐retrieval problem), to determine a signal depends on the exact measurements but not the approximative ones. Therefore, our determination method is essentially different from the traditional phaseless sampling. Numerical simulations are conducted to examine the efficiency of phaseless IDHT and its application in determining signals in spline Hilbert shift‐invariant space.     

Homotopic invariance of infinite-dimensional homotopic groups of Hilbert space subsets

The paper discusses some equivalent ways of construction of infinite-dimensional homotopic groups of subsets and pairs of subsets in real Hilbert spaces. In the admissible class of K ₀-continuous mappings, the homotopic invariance of the mentioned groups and their isomorphism are demonstrated in the case where the basic points belong to the same component of K ₀-linear connectivity.     

Generalizations of Bohr inequality for Hilbert space operators

Let B(H) be the space of all bounded linear operators on a complex separable Hilbert space H. Bohr inequality for Hilbert space operators asserts that for A,B∈B(H) and p,q>1 real numbers such that 1/p+1/q=1,

Boundary sets in the Hilbert cube

We study properties of those σZ-sets in the Hilbert cube whose complements are homeomorphic to Hilbert space. A characterization of such sets is obtained in terms of a proximate local connectedness property and a dense imbedding condition. Some examples and applications are given, including the formulation of a tower condition useful for recognizing (f-d) cap sets.     

Stabilities of Hilbert space contraction semigroups revisited

A necessary and sufficient condition for exponential stability of Hilbert space contraction semigroups is obtained in terms of an inequality involving the dissipative norm associated with the generator of the semigroup and with the Hilbert space norm.     

Sums of Hilbert space frames

We give simple necessary and sufficient conditions on Bessel sequences {fi} and {gi} and operators L₁, L₂ on a Hilbert space H so that {L₁fi+L₂gi} is a frame for H. This allows us to construct a large number of new Hilbert space frames from existing frames.     

A note on supercyclic vectors of Hilbert space operators

Let H be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and T be a bounded linear operator on H. We show that if there exists $x\in H$ such that the closure of $\{\alpha T^{n}x:\alpha \in \mathbb{C},n?0\}$ is H, then there is a subsequence ${(n_k)}_{k=1}^{\infty }$ such that the closed linear span of $\{T^{n_k}x:k?1\}$ is not the whole space H.     

Hilbert space structure and positive operators

Let X be a real Banach space. We prove that the existence of an injective, positive, symmetric and not strictly singular operator from X into its dual implies that either X admits an equivalent Hilbertian norm or it contains a nontrivially complemented subspace which is isomorphic to a Hilbert space. We also treat the nonsymmetric case.     

Reflection symmetry and symmetrizability of Hilbert space operators

A general factorization theorem for symmetrizable operators relating their spectra to spectra of selfadjoint operators induced by minimal factorizations is established. Its modified version essentially improves and completes a theorem of Jorgensen, which concerns diagonalizing operators with reflection symmetry.
