Holomorphy of spectral multipliers of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

Let γ be the Gauss measure on and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. For every p in [1,∞)?{2}, set , and consider the sector . The main results of this paper are the following. If p is in (1,∞)?{2}, and , i.e., if M is an Lp(γ)uniform spectral multiplier of in our terminology, and M is continuous on , then M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the sector . Furthermore, if p=1 a spectral multiplier M, continuous on , satisfies the condition if and only if M extends to a bounded holomorphic function on the right half-plane, and its boundary value M(i·) on the imaginary axis is the Euclidean Fourier transform of a finite Borel measure on the real line. We prove similar results for uniform spectral multipliers of second order elliptic differential operators in divergence form on belonging to a wide class, which contains . From these results we deduce that operators in this class do not admit an H^∞ functional calculus in sectors smaller than .     

Non-linear numerical radius isometries on atomic nest algebras and diagonal algebras

A nonlinear map φ between operator algebras is said to be a numerical radius isometry if w(φ(T−S))=w(T−S) for all T, S in its domain algebra, where w(T) stands for the numerical radius of T. Let and be two atomic nests on complex Hilbert spaces H and K, respectively. Denote the nest algebra associated with and the diagonal algebra. We give a thorough classification of weakly continuous numerical radius isometries from onto and a thorough classification of numerical radius isometries from onto .     

The role of the angle in supercyclic behavior

A bounded operator T acting on a Hilbert space is said to be supercyclic if there is a vector such that the projective orbit and is dense in . We use a new method based on a very simple geometric idea that allows us to decide whether an operator is supercyclic or not. The method is applied to obtain the following result: A composition operator acting on the Hardy space whose inducing symbol is a parabolic linear-fractional map of the disk onto a proper subdisk is not supercyclic. This result finishes the characterization of the supercyclic behavior of composition operators induced by linear fractional maps and, thus, completes previous work of Bourdon and Shapiro.     

Genericity of wild holomorphic functions and common hypercyclic vectors

Let T_α be the translation operator by α in the space of entire functions defined by . We prove that there is a residual set G of entire functions such that for every f∈G and every the sequence is dense in , that is, G is a residual set of common hypercyclic vectors ( functions) for the family . Also, we prove similar results for many families of operators as: multiples of differential operator, multiples of backward shift, weighted backward shifts.     

Reflection about k-jets and holomorphic extension of CR mappings

Let be a CR mapping between real analytic generic submanifolds M, M₁ of and , respectively. According to Webster's theory (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 86 (1982) 236-240) and its further developments, f has holomorphic extension to a full neighborhood of M in when the following requirements are fulfilled: f extends to a wedge W continuous up to M; f is of class C^k; (where denotes the complex tangent bundle); M₁ is “k-nondegenerate.” We deal here with the case where is strictly smaller than but is still real analytic in suitable sense. We show that a suitably refined condition of k-nondegeneracy still entails holomorphic extension of f.     

Norm estimates of almost Mathieu operators

We estimate the norm of the almost Mathieu operator , regarded as an element in the rotation C^*-algebra . In the process, we prove for every λ∈R and the inequality

     

Meet-irreducible ideals and representations of limit algebras

In this paper we give criteria for an ideal of a TAF algebra to be meet-irreducible. We show that is meet-irreducible if and only if the C∗-envelope of is primitive. In that case, admits a faithful nest representation which extends to a ∗-representation of the C∗-envelope for . We also characterize the meet-irreducible ideals as the kernels of bounded nest representations; this settles the question of whether the n-primitive and meet-irreducible ideals coincide.     

The ring of quasimodular forms for a cocompact group

We describe the additive structure of the graded ring of quasimodular forms over any discrete and cocompact group Γ⊂PSL(2,R). We show that this ring is never finitely generated. We calculate the exact number of new generators in each weight k. This number is constant for k sufficiently large and equals where I and are the ideals of modular forms and quasimodular forms, respectively, of positive weight. We show that is contained in some finitely generated ring of meromorphic quasimodular forms with i.e., the same order of growth as
